The aircraft carrier, USS Kitty Hawk stopped by the Harbour City over the weekend. The media hype around it drove me to take a peek for myself this afternoon. Parked at the Naval Depot at Garden Island near Potts Point, these photos were taken from near Mrs. Macquarie's Chair. The ship was huge and could not be captured in its entirety on my camera. It was very impressive with all the jet planes and helicopters on board. Fortunately, I was able to see this 47-year old giant before it is to be decommissioned next year.

Hmm...I have this sudden urge to go watch "Top Gun"...

I have been a fan of the Japanese art of paper-folding, or Origami ever since I could remember. There's just something about the concept of turning a simple piece of paper into an art form that intrigues me. It is a form of relaxation that I enjoy as well to escape from work's pressure from time to time. Thanks to my Dear who got me a book by Rick Beech entitled "The Origami Handbook", I tried my hands on one of the more complex design yesterday. It is called a five intersecting tetrahedra. I particularly liked the fact that its construction involved units interlocking with one another and did not require any adhesive. It took me about an hour to complete but the self-satisfaction upon completion was totally worth my time spent.

Who would've thought that with my non-existent energy level, I could stay up until 11.30pm watching "The Departed" after spending the whole day playing paintball? Well, after hearing all of the rave reviews it was receiving and having loved the movie "Infernal Affairs", I decided it was about time.

I have bruises all over my arms and torso after my first ever Paintball Skirmish on Saturday. Daniel had bought ten tickets for the event over half a year ago and we only decided to go at the last minute, a day before the tickets were to expire. Thankfully we managed to have 9 people from Wollongong and Sydney to join us.

Here I am blogging for the first time, after all the craze about blogging has started to fade out. Anyway, I intend put tidbits of my life here regularly. Hope you will enjoy my two cents for the days to come...
