Two weekends ago I had the chance to visit the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney and see the finalists for the Archibald prize. It is the most prestigious prize for portraiture in Australia. I am

I try to go for a walk every day if it isn't raining and I love the blue Australian sky on sunny days. The brilliant bright colors of the leaves and flowers are even more striking against the blue sky.

My friends found this wonderful cafe in the Blackburn called Little Wattlebird Cafe. I have been there twice. I enjoyed lunch there in May and went there again yesterday. I loved the matcha latte because

I went to IKEA on the weekend to find some box frames for my origami. I couldn't decide between the different colored frames so I bought three kinds. They are all the same size 9 x 9 inches. I think it

This was a fun fold because of the 3D star puff effect. Designed by either Eric Gjerde or Ralf Konrad (the internet has different sources). Folded by me from a hexagon cut from an A4 piece of paper. Back

I took my parents to Olinda tea house in Mount Dandenong today for lunch. It was 35 degrees so I wanted to go up the mountain to avoid the heat. At the restaurant, the service was nice and the space was

My friend who graduated from Le Cordon Bleu recently invited my parents and I to her place for a Spanish feast. We started with Gazpacho and a lamb chop board. It was 33 degrees yesterday so the cold soup

This is my entry to this week's shadow photo contest hosted by @melinda010100. The theme is tool shadows. I can't imagine building IKEA furniture without my handy Ikea drill. @snooway

I have been getting back into my origami hobby recently and hopefully will continue into the whole year. Challenging myself to do more difficult pieces. The squirrel was the hardest.

Yesterday's sunset was very beautiful and dramatic. Looks like fire in the first photo and cotton candy in the second? What do you think?
