December Happenings-Visit From Lee Family

We have been falling back on the blog updates... haha. Due to events and happenings..

First, I'd have to say it was the visit from the Lee family, good friends of ours from Singapore.

We had great fun! Went to Yarra Valley and stayed 2 nights at the Yering Gorge Cottages. But the weekend that we were there sightseeing - "tian bu zuo mei". (the weather did not smile on us) It was the wettest weekend in Melbourne for the entire 2008!! (and as far as I could remember since we set foot in Melbourne). Here are some pics from the Yarra Valley time..

For meals we ate out mostly... and we feasted! Had the usual burger (at Gr'lled), Japanese(Izakaya Chuji), viet pho (Huong Vuong), pasta(La Porchetta), and dined at vineyards (Balgownie & Helen's Hill) too. We also went to the trout farm... Caught a 4.5kg salmon! and some trout of course... Had a sashimi overload the next 2 days! Here's a pic of the salmon with Sammy..

Last pic at the airport:

It was nice to have them visit! We could talk our 'Singlish' and our "la-s" and mixes of chinese, hokkien and malay slangs. Feels good la. Reminded us of home. Come again, Jon Kelly and Sam! See you soon in Singapore!
