We waddled down to Phillip Island yesterday, and paid homage to the little penguins. We were there about 1.5 years ago with my mom, my sister Cheng Sim and her son, Stan de Man. It was winter then and the little buggers obliged us early. It’s summer now and they play hard to get, showing up only a little after 9pm. 
By the time we pushed off, it was past 10pm, and after dropping off my mother in law’s sister, we reached home almost 12am. Theresa and I went out again after dropping off her parents to retire for the day, to re-fuel the car. We had to leave home early this morning, to go pick some blue berries from Olinda.

I am now tucked into Harry Lee’s “The Singapore Story”.
As we had to meet at Linda and Leng’s place by 8am today, I had to be up really early for everyone’s brekky to be ready. It was worth it, as I think my in laws had a good 
time picking the blue berries. They each had to pay $10 for every kilo of berries picked and later, when we stopped at a shop to pick up some honey, we saw these blueys sold for $18.00 a kg, so they’re happy.

We then drove around in the Yarra Valley area before returning to Glen Waverly for lunch. At the valley, we stopped at Grant’s Picnic Point to feed some birds. These cockatoos appear to like my father in law, much to kiddo’s amusement. 
The 3 packets of bird seeds which Theresa picked up for a buck each, were eaten up in no time.
We’re supposed to meet at Westies for dinner. I dread driving to Maribyrnong…
“So, I commend the enjoyment of life.” (From the Bible – really. Eccl 8:15)

“Kiddo” here. Haha, I guess I was having “fun”. There were friends there, or I would be fish out of water. I would also like to state that my 18(19?) year old uncle beat him to Maribyrnong. Speaking of “In-Laws Are Here, Let The Rumble Begin…” 1. We barely touched the food.2. We had a good time, but it was the last of civilisation I saw in a long while.
