My First Annual Floriade in Canberra

Flower Power !!! Seeing all the wonderful colours of nature, this is simply remarkable. Never in my life being surrounded by so many tulips and other flowers. I'm surprised that there isn't a single bee... !!!
Canberra reminds me of Putrajaya back home. A city with a very unique layout.
Of course since we're there, check out the parliament.Actually the main reason we went to Canberra was to get my visa permit to enter Israel. Malaysian s are prohibited to enter this country. Go figure. At the Malaysian embassy, there's this feeling that I'm back home sitting at one of the government offices. It's a striking resemblance. And guess what we saw.... at the counter, the officers were selling nasi lemak & char keoy teaw !!! On one of the wall was an inventory list of the office assets in the waiting lounge. This one takes the cake.... there was a microwave at the lounge ! To heat up the nasi lemak & char keoy teaw !!!! No joke! This microwave was not listed in the inventory list mind you...In Rome, do what the Romans do.... so we bought a pair of ugg boots for each of us... it's on sale... so why not... hehehe.... uggly looking shoes... but it is soooooo comfy.... :)
