R.I.P. Michael Jackson
Never really a big fan of his music, but I do have a copy of his History album. Maybe it's a good time to dig that out now...

Cafe Brisa
Rating: ★★★★ Category: Restaurants Cuisine: Steak / Seafood Location: Manly, NSW, AUstralia http://www.eatability.com.au/au/sydney/cafe_brisa/ We quite like the food there. We had Steak Sandwich and Seafood Risotto. My wife loved the risotto. I think it's well priced with good food.
STAR TREK
Rating: ★★★★★ Category: Movies Genre: Science Fiction & Fantasy Latest Star Trek series. After few movies on the the Star Trek: The Next Generation, it's now back to the original, classic version of the Star Trek, without the original cast (except Leonard Nimoy of course). As with the movie itself, I like the fast pace, action packed style with many nicely-done CG scenes. The spaceship battles are done nicely even though I would like to have some more. Although the design of the star ship is old but it's redrew and modernised, making it look a lot nicer. Since I have read the storyline of the Star Trek Countdown ( http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Countdown,_Number_One ) before I watched the movie, I felt I could understand the villain captain Nero a bit more. Erica Bana certainly did a good job but I felt he was not mentioned enough to make people who did not know Countdown to fully feel about his action. Certainly this movie is about Kirk and Spock and little bit of th...
20090425 - Brightmore Reserve
From 20090425 - Brightmore Reserve Our friends asked us to goto Brightmore Reserve today. There's a track for kids to ride their bike on. The weather is very lovely today so we went. Also got to know a few new friends, there are more and more young Taiwanese families and kids in Sydney North Shore now. Really happy and hopefully when these kids grow up together they can be good friends. The scenary is nice near the park too.

Taking photographs of flowers
I started taking photography more seriously after my son was born. It was very very hard to use small digital compact camera to take clear photographs of my son. So I did some research and found DSLR would be a better equipment for me and went and got myself a Pentax K100D. After a while, we also got a Canon SX100IS. A great little camera. Although it's size is not as "compact" as other digital compacts, both my wife and I found it quite easy to hold and not that big when put into my wife's carry bag. Obviously Canon DC is no match with Pentax DSLR when one compares the ISO noises. Nevertheless I found myself also enjoying this camera. Sometimes the pictures I think the phtographs took with this DC looks better! (But then again I also did some "adjustments" in GIMP...) So, apart fromy my son, I started taking a lot of pictures of other things. When we goto restaurants, I take pictures of the delicious dishes we ate. When we go sights...
