Melbourne Central

This is China Town and it was situated at Melbounre Central. It's not a big town but there are quite a number of restaurants and shops available.


Even Old Town Kopitiam also "invade" China Town. The price of the foods were quite expensive if compared to Malaysia (i mean apple to apple and no currency conversion).

The Korean doesn't want to miss out too...........

This is one of the central cross road and you can notice that there is a car park lane in the center of the road for you to park your car.

A horse carraige in the city.............

There is a public stage performance practically on every sunday and it's free, it was staged on one of the main road.

.......this is the "Gents" public underground toilet.

and this is for the ladies.........

White Thoroughbred Racehorse

It was on one friday morning, when me and one of my classmate from Hong Kong and his name is Smiley Chan. We planned to go to Seymour one of the suburbs in Victoria and roughly about 100kms from where I stayed, for an interview in one of the stable which was operated by the wife of a champion trainer in Singapore.

Along the jouney, we happened to pass by a pre-training and horse breaker stable which was operated by Brendan Page. Because Smiley wish to work in a pre-training stable, so we stop by and went in to have a look. And to our surprise, we saw this white thoroughbred and it happened that this horse, stable and the trainer did appear in a racing magazine.

A white colour thoroughbred racehorse is very rare. You seldom see it in hotblood horses but you can find it in warmblood horses. The trainer was very kind to show us around and let us pose a few pictures with the white thoroughbred racehorse.......it's great!

He is a 4YO colt and his name is High Rail Curious.


This is another white thoroughbred racehorse and she is a 3YO filly and she was the sister to the above High Rail Curious. Unfortunately, I forgotten her name........hahaha

As A Vet...!!!

E...kkk. What's that am I holding? Well, it's a horse leg...!!! and the guy beside me is my classmate and his name is Henry. We're actually doing a die-section of a horse leg and there are actually 4 die-sections. The Guts (stomach and intestines), the Legs (from the cannon down til the hoof), the Heart and the Respiratory Tract (lungs). It's part of the subject in Horse Anatomy and Physiology. The most interesting part to me is the Heart. A normal heart usually weigh approximately between 3 to 4 kgs but certain horse heart can double the average weight, and weigh between 6.5 to 8.5 kgs and thats amazing!!
