Nightmare

Brisbane, the city I am living now is having its worst Nightmare ever. Endless rainfall since November have brought tones amount of water in the whole Queensland. Warning started Tuesday this week that Brisbane river is going to break its bank and the third largest city in Australia is going to experience a large scale of flood . After I read the news about flooding at the Mackay, St George ...I had bad feeling that will the flood come to Brisbane. Tao said that the water system is totally different to the middle part and water will not flow to Brisbane but directly to NSW. However, his assumption was not right and my worry has become a nightmare to all Brisbane resident. First, Ipwich river is going to raise to 19 meters and Brisbane river is going to raise to 5.4 meters (later revised to be 4.6meters). Everyone is scared and rushed to the high place. Most people did not have time to put their precious things with them and can only leave with nothing but their lives.

I am very lucky enough to live on the hill side which can escape from the flood this time. The area that I am familiar: CBD, Milton, Paddington, Toowong, Indooroopilly, St lucia, Southbank , West End........etc , they are all under water now. The area that everyone knows , entertains , live, eat.....are all under the dirty water. The university I studied, the colleague I lived...is also under water. I cannot imagine the water level can go up so high . A lot of people had lost nearly everything in this flood. How terrible is it...Video showed horses swimming kilometers to rest on roof after being exhausted to swim in order to survive.

I am good to be able to still have food at home, fresh water to drink ....I know many people do not have power and food to survive as they are stuck in buildings or their suburbs are isolated. I hope that everything can be back to normal asap. God bless QLD.

so comfortable

Once I saw this fluffy slippery , I love it. It is so comfortable to wear in winter ...I am sure about this ....will definitely give me a warm feeling. Although it is still summer time here, I just cannot ignore it but bring it back home..

Christmas key

Tao, Thank you very much for the present. It is a big surprise. I love this key a lot...and so happy that I have added a new item to my Tiffany's collection.

Bobbi Brown -good bargain during christmas

Bobbi Brown has this deluxe travel kit in this Christmas and I like it once I saw it in store. It is a lovely make up travel kit that you can organize the slots to suit your needs. It even has small movable slots for lipsticks ....it is a great and user friendly design. However, the box is ridiculously overpriced in Australia. Damn the retail here , it is about three times the price compared in America. The price here is AUD 345 while the price in America is US 115. For the exchange rate of nearly 1 to 1 , I am very stupid if I buy it in Australia. So, I try to find it on ebay and got it for 70USD . Although the posting cost is quite high, it is still cheaper to get it in America. So, I get a good bargain and also bought a leather brush holder from the same seller. It is time for me to organize my cosmetics ...hehe

Novel ...

Have not read chinese novel for aging.. but once I pick it up and I do not want to leave it .
I really enjoy reading "亦舒" a lot....Need to get more when I back to HK next time.
