Gobble Guts


I went to Bunnings with my friends this afternoon and bought a plant called Gobble guts.It looks so funny.Gobble guts are consists of Venus Fly Traps and Sarracenia.The Venus Fly Trap, Sarracenia, is a carnivorous plant that catches and digests animal prey—mostly insects and arachnids. Its trapping structure is formed by the terminal portion of each of the plant's leaves and is triggered by tiny hairs on their inner surfaces. When an insect or spider crawling along the leaves comes into contact with one or more of the hairs twice in succession, the trap closes. The requirement of redundant triggering in this mechanism serves as a safeguard against a waste of energy in trapping objects with no nutritional value.

The Time Traveler‘s Wife



The movie was based on the best-selling novel named the time traveler's wife. This is the remarkable story of Henry DeTamble, a dashing, adventuresome librarian who travels involuntarily through time, and Clare Abshire, an artist whose life takes a natural sequential course. Henry and Clare's passionate love affair endures across a sea of time and captures the two lovers in an impossibly romantic trap.I just spent last few minutes crying my eyes out.I like this movie so much.Seriously,I’m always disappointed in book-to-movies. But this time,i'm going to buy this novel and finish it.

Stokers Fine Pancakes


YEAH!Pancake!Although the outside is disappointed me too much,inside place is so romantic for couples.Stokers Fine Pancakes just open in the evening. They serve crepes style pancakes.The interior is a bit dim during the night but it makes a very romantic setting and we did notice a few loving couples. It is also popular owing to it's 2am closing time. The kitchen was just a serving counter and a 4 burner stove top where the owner makes the pancakes. You can see how the owners make the pancakes.It feels like to see your mother cook at home.

There are savories and sweets with all sorts of topping but we went for our favorite style - fresh strawberry and ice cream. There is a strawberry on the top but i forgot to took a photo before i eat it. It was really good.

UNUSUAL Day?!!!

I have been in Melbourne for one year and quite enjoy the life here. Although the weather here is a little bit "crazy". I still love this place. When i saw the strange things i told myself to face it. Because you are not in China. But this time i promise every people will not believe it--one student and one teacher in the classroom. Can you imagination that? Fortunately, that student was me. I have no idea how's this ridiculous things happened. I will never forget this one teacher and student's lesson in my life. It's a very special experience.
