The Fall of A Judge: The Arrogance Of Human Being

The story about The Honourable Marcus Einfeld – now a former Federal Court judge – reaches its conclusion this week. It contains a story about the arrogance nature of us as human being when it comes to our mistake within our domain. A mistake that proven become very expensive for Mr Einfeld, but also can hurt any of us if we did not learn from this experience. Let us see further why…

Watching World Cup 2010 in Sydney !

Yes, it’s in June – July 2010 – 4 weeks of party!. My fellow Aussie, some, will ask “what world cup? which world cup?” – It’s quite sad but true, but at the moment, football (or soccer) is not that damn popular in here (Other kind of football which not dominantly handled by “foot” namely Aussie Rule and Rugby are more popular and all called football or “footy”). So, the answer of that question is: “It’s the world cup, the only world cup that bigger than Olympic, the real football world cup: 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa tm , mate !”

Sydney Living Cost 2010: Car Ownership Expenses

Often mistakenly dubbed as Australia’s Capital, Sydney Metropolitan area is very very big. The area is no less than 12,100 square km – if it is a square, it’s roughly 110km by 110km. So, with public transport not in very best condition, the logical alternative will be to own a car to move around Sydney.

The Toughest Year In Parenting (So far…)

Having 2 children under 6 years old myself, I would like to share this experience that could benefit a would-be parents or current parents that still yet to experience this. At least, if you know it, your mind will anticipate it. Be gracious if it’s not as bad, but also be strong and smart if it is worst than what I went through…

You Are Blocking Traffic, Mate !

A little bit traffic quiz and education for all Sydney motorists. With more and more residential stacked up along big highways, access road to these highways will create a lot of intersection that need to be served by traffic light. And with more and more intersection, the traffic light will be set such as that the highway will have more green than the access road. This is one of the story

Will You Allow $300 Printer Down For A Piece of Paper: The Face Of Consumer Electronics

Thanks to rapid advancement of technology, mass production, fierce competition and an increase level of sophistication from average people, we are have been in a while now, in the new face of consumer electronics, where buy a new one is cheaper and better rather than repairing, where the vendor would want you continuously give them money. But will you allow $300 printer down for a piece of paper? Not me !

Cost of Public Transport In Sydney For Commuting to Work

When I moved to where I live now, I actually feel blessed in many aspect, but in particular related to commuting to work, because there is a train station nearby. Not just tiny little one, but a train station that services busy Westmead Hospital (so, most train will stop there). My wishful thinking is that someday maybe I don’t need to drive anymore. But I am still driving nowadays to go to work. What happen ?

G’Day, Mate! It’s Australia Day

Wake up on Australia Day means a annual trip to local park to celebrate Australia with its barbie (BBQ) and share good times with people from multi race background who live in Australia. Some like to go to local citizen ceremony to welcome Australia newest citizen. But for anything that you do today, for sure you will see Australian flag all over the country. Yes, it still have a union jack on it as Queen of England is officially still head of state, but it’s still Aussie flag. One that people carry to Olympics and World Cup and make them proud as a nation.

Saint Mary MacKillop: St Mary of the Cross, The First Australian Saint

Born and raised as Catholics, I know first hand about the Catholic culture related to their holy saint and the devotion: they don’t take it lightly. For a humble nun from Australia who once excommunicated by the church itself to be recognized as one of the church’s idol, that is a massive achievement.

So, this is my dedication to fellow Australian who does extraordinary things for fellow human regardless of their status. Hope the highest recognition from Catholic Church – a sainthood for Mother Mary MacKillop – could at least inspires us to do good deeds for those who less fortunate than us.

Michael Bublé – Haven’t Met You Yet

Maybe not everyone knows about Michael Bublé. He is Canadian singer and quite popular in Canada, UK and Australia. Handsome, strong, vocal and many great song and music. It will be in a matter of time he will become world famous. I guess, it’s too early in the year to talk about serious thing – so this is a little bit intermezzo: enjoy one of the greatest hit from Michael… It’s about most of us has been, is or will be experiencing… Happy New Year 2010 !
