Hailstorm in Canberra

Daughter Winnie frantically tried to call us on the night of 27 February to tell us of a massive hailstorm in Canberra at 8.00pm (11 pm KL). It was so severe that more than 60 buildings in ANU (Australia National University) were badly damaged and lectures had to be cancelled the next two days. These are two photos sent by her.

Locally only The Malay Mail reported this on 1st March 2007. The picture showed a guy in short sleeve tee shirt pushing his bike through the ice-covered streets in Canberra.

Has the world weather changed so much due to global warming?

Proud Parents' Ranting

Latest update: Taylor's advertisement in The Star paper on 29 December 2006.

Our eldest girl had just given us the best 20th Wedding Anniversary gift.... her excellent results in the SACE released this morning. (She was up at 6am trying desperately to log into the SSABSA website this morning).

Well, the wait and the effort were well worth it. She scored 18 and 19 marks for all 5 subjects (out of 20) giving a total SACE Score of 92. For University Entrance, her TER (Tertiary Entrance Ranking) point is a 98.85% which according to her was well above average.

We are all going out to celebrate her achievement tonight!
