Goodbye Surry Hills? Hello there. Seems like there have been some complaints about the blog maintenance in terms of updated entries. Hey, I actually do have a life too! But here goes again for the loyal readers (if any). It's been over a week already since we got back from NZ and I must say time goes by just like that. Last week in school was quite tough - a lot of classes and assignments due. On top of that, I got sick (as mentioned) adding to the pain caused ...

Maybe not that well structured or organized thoughts but whatever."It's not my issue", like one famous Dutch guy would say.
