Hi everyone,

If you’re looking for a great place to dine out, you should go to Hanabi Fusion Restaurant.  www.hanabifusion.com.au – website still under construction, but the food is great.  Owned and run by two good friends.  They serve some really contemporary fusion food with Japanese influences.  They’re still starting out and I’m trying to help them where I can.  But people who I’ve brought there love the food.

Just brought my Dad for a belated Father’s Day dinner with his partner, Christine, and her son Ben and wife Emily.  They really enjoyed the food.

There are lots of favourites.  But currently my favourtie dishes are:

• Oiishii Curry
• Seafood Garden with Smoke Salmon, Tempura Prawns, Potato Crockets, Tobiko and Benito flakes.
• Golden Crab Claws with Chilli Seaweed
• Miso Scallops with Sweet Potato (flamed-grilled at your table)

Give’em a try.  You won’t be disappointed.

Wow… its been 9-10 months since the last post.  A lot has happened and been really busy.  Thought it might be good to start writing again.  Our house is nearly finished…hopefully we can move in October.  Getting more expensive and little costs here and there creep in.  But thanks to God for his provision and hopefully the ability to sustain.

Also, been in a new job working as a professional property buyer for PBC Realty.  Enjoying it, but its been a really BIG learning curve and with the Aussie market flattening out the last 8 months due to interest rates and global uncertainty… I haven’t achieved the results I wanted.  Last month was a good month so hopefully, we can keep it going.  With Reserve Bank dropping interest rates a quarter of a percent it should start stimulating the economy again.

Life is good, however, presents is challenges every now and then.  Trusting God to bring me through this time and in some ways still finding my footing again with the direction He is leading me.  Got to learn to follow better and not let distractions affect.

That’s all for today… maybe look at adding more comments again soon… and maybe not in 9 months time.

Well… today I finally signed off on your plans for our new house. Its exciting stuff… but a little scray too as we’re about to take on a nice “FAT” morgate. But you’ve got to be in the market to win this game of life and the God has truly blessed us in ways that we would not have imagined.
It’s a fantastic start to our lives. Not many people are priviledge to have an opportunity to own a home nowadays… especially now since homes are so expensive. In the papers, our area (Acacia Ridge) went up 12.2% last quarter… so I’m pretty happy about that and considering I got it $13k under the asking price.

I’m hoping that the builders can put the foundation down before Christmas, so that the rest of the house can be built faster. Now got save up some extra cash for the all the luxury bits.

The house should turnout really good if we’ve made the right colour selections… but I think we aren’t too much off the mark.  The only major issue is getting the house to value up.  Hopefully the valuer will be favourable.

Wow!  It’s an exciting time for Sharon and I, as both of us have new jobs.  I’ve already started working in my new job at PBC Realty working as a Buyers Agent.  I believe that this is a great opportunity to grow and take on new skills.  Working with my friend and boss, Ambrose is an honour and priviledge and also PBC Centre bosses Gordon and Janny.  They are all generous, intelligent and amazing people.  Now I just got to deliver.  Hahaha….

So if you are looking for some help getting into property, have a chat with me, I may be able to help.

Also good news.  My beautiful wife Sharon got a job working with American Express Corporate Travel.  It was truly a blessing from God as she was even shocked herself! She’ll be starting on the 7th of January.

So 2008 is going to be a very exciting year for us!

After a long anticipated wait, our congratulations to our dear friends Lillian and Wenan on the birth of their beautiful daughter Elise.  I hear Wenan is already looking for suitable husband already for her.

Just celebrating 1 year of marriage. We can add a notch to our wall. We celebrated dining out at a nice restaurant called Mondo Organics. www.mondo-organics.com.au. Unfortunately, Sharon had tummy problems and wasn’t able to eat. What a shame! I was stuffed cause I had to finish her main. If you’re looking for a nice place to eat… we wouldn’t hesitate recommending
Mondo.

Sharon also made a wonderful dinner made up of sushi, salt-pepper calamari and home-made ice lemon tea.
