We went to the beach today. Well, it wasn’t your usual beach with sand, water and rocks. It was a large pit area with lots of white balls. It was called “THE BEACH” and it was held in Barangaroo Cutaway. It was a free event and the wife wanted to go with the kids. We […]

I came across a little but big Mini King Mushroom whilst preparing dinner. My daughter looked at it and yelled out “That’s fat!”. I had to correct her and tell her it’s actually big not fat. Apparently, she said the same thing when she saw a large man at a shopping centre. One of my […]
Another hot day and what made it worse was the car had a problem with the air conditioner. It wouldn’t turn on for some reason but I’m assuming because the outside of the car hit 41 degrees – maybe? When I was inside the car, I was sweating like crazy. The other thing I noticed […]

A hot day but some members of the Tran Clan family went to have a picnic at Mt Annan (Bowden Centre). There’s a nice lake there with tables and plenty of shade. The kids had fun riding on their bikes and having a water gun fight. I was outnumbered 1-4 but that didn’t stop me […]

I decided to capture a video of a toy my daughter received from Christmas. It’s a rubber toy that when squeezed, the eyes pop out.
