National Rugby League NRL Day, 12th April @ the Royal Easter Show!!!


NRL Day was held on the Cattle Lawn....with rugby clinics run by the rugby players and kids enjoying footy fun!!!....



This picture is a little blur...but the little girl very cute right?...haha+...her hair so funny....And the rugby ball seems larger than her head....=)


The Cronulla Sharks from Sutherland....Never saw them play before but got their autographs anyway...=).....They are Brett Kimmorley, and Craig Stapleton and Phil Leuluai.....




Only the players of the NSW teams are at the Easter Show...since my favourite Broncos team isn't here...I took a picture with their mascot!...Clock thinks he looks like a ugly power ranger monster!....haha+....Go Broncos!!!



The Pentrith Panthers!!!.....The NSW team I support now!.....Took me so long to get this picture because the man in front kept blocking my view....ha+....That's Luke Priddis, Matthew Cross and Frank Puletua!!!



Luke Priddis was so friendly!!!...he agreed to take the picture even though he was already changed out of his team shirt and ready to go off...haha+...He was saying "Cheese!!" when he took this photo with me...hee+...He's the co-captain of Penrith Panthers and is playing position of hooker...jersey no.9....=)

Luke Priddis at one of the stations during the rugby clinics...haha+.....they literally let the little boy walk through the tackle blocks!!




Ahhh!....Frank Puletua!!! He's from Auckland, NZ....playing prop/ second rower for Penrith....think he's cute!!...ha+....Kiwis are so friendly too!!....=p....He's like 1.9m lor...so he had to lower himself down to take this picture....ha+...so paiseh!!....


My NRL soveniors from the Easter Show!.....Yeah!!!...I had a really awesome time!!! Think I was the only Asian girl there, q-ing for the autographs and photos...ha+... so embarassing....=P...So I had a great sense of achievement after the whole event! Glad I went for it...even though I was alone...!....ha+.....just had to be more thick skinned....=)...even had to get the players to write down their names beside their signatures because I had no idea who some of them were...hee+....

Anyways, a super duper big Thank You to all the rugby players who were at the show that day for making the day an unforgettable one for me....and everyone involved in the event for creating the chance for all footy fans to be this close up to the players!!....It was truely fantastic and exhilarating...!!.....And too all the rugby clubs, all the best for the rest of NRL...and of course, go Brisbane Broncos and Penrith Panthers!!!!


Sydney Royal Easter Show (Part 2)!!!

Hi, 大家!!Back again with more pictures of farm animals...First up, are one of the largerst animals on the easter show!!....Cattle!!....They are so huge....just look at their size!!....

These are one of the many species of cattle....Sugarloaf Herefords.....not too sure how they got their names.....=P......For some reason, looking at the cattle makes me not to want to eat beef anymore.....but will I have the determination?


These 2 cattle were playing with each other before I took this picture....thought they look very 相亲相爱!!

If you guys are observant enough, u might see what's coming out from the cattle's bottom....=P...any guesses?...Right, sure you are spot on!!!.....yup, he just BO (bowels out)....The exhibition was quite dirty with all the "shit" lying around....had to be realy careful as I walked.....ha+


"Oh, how cooling!!! I love to bathe....!! I want more more.....Ahhh!!!...So shiok!!!..I feel so clean...!"

“嘿,各位,我的头发有没有乱!乱要跟我说啊。。。我会叫他们修美一点的!!”


She was salivating so much....I decided to take a picture...haha+....so cute....I like their eyes.....just observe her eye lashes...I thought they look like human eyes....have so much feeling in them....=)....Doesn't she look like a shy lady...?....ha+


Now, for the pigs!!!....Mother Pig is feeling hungry and she needs more energy to feed her piglets, who have yet to wean off from her milk....hee+


“我好饿啊!! 别跟我抢啦!!我要喝多一点!”

These piglets are born at the Easter Show itself last Sunday...So they were only 4 days old when I took this picture...=P.....so cute right?...They are from the "Saddleback" species....=)

These saddlebacks are 2 and a 1/2 weeks old.....!!....Can you notice that they have developed more muscles compared to the younger four days old?? I like their pattern...so special!!


Kids enjoying pony rides....ha+....I'm definitely too heavy for the small ponies....=P



One of Australia's endangered wildlife species...called the Bilby!!....It looks like a rat and a bunny...found only in a small part of Queensland....Conservation efforts are geared up to save this species too....bought a Bilby handphone chain and postcard....hopefully a little helps the Bilby fund too!!......

Well, guys...hang on and the next section is coming up....on NRL day at the Easter Show!!!....

Crazy Rugby Night @ Aussie Stadium

It's Good Friday yesterday but the amazing part of it was that Yogi and I were present for a live NRL match between the Brisbane Broncos and Sydney Roosters @ Aussie Stadium!!


The logo of Aussie Stadium...Yogi says it reminded her of TJ's logo....haha+...funny thing was the colours are the club colours for Brisbane Broncos....=)


Entrance to Aussie Stadium @ 6.30pm on Good Friday!


We bought our tickets about 1 mth ago and got pretty gd seats with a great view! Things got all the more exciting when I saw the rugby field...Bright and green and just breathtaking....=p...How exciting!!! Can't wait to see Lockyer, Karmichael, Shaun Barrigan, Hodges!!!

Friday Night Footy starting soon!! Go Brisbane Broncos!!!


Autumn nights are quite cold now in Sydney! We bought 2 cups of beer to warm ourselves up...=P I think the black beer tastes like soy sauce!...Eeeks....


Fireworks @ the start of the match!!...and the scoreboard...!!



A scrum during the 2nd half of the game!...That's Lockyer, captain of the Broncos in his no. 6 jersey!! Ahhh!!! 疯了!! There were very few Asians and definitely none around us that supported the Broncos...But at least we were lucky to have many Broncos fans around us!...We thought we would get hammered in the pool of Roosters fans...So me and Yogi just cheered our hearts out!....Go Lockyer!! Karmichael!! Hodges!! Shaun Barrigan!! Brent Tate!! Petero Civoniceva!! 真得疯了!可是感觉和气氛都好棒!!


It rained 20mins into 2nd half and Oh My God, it was super cold....me and Yogi took out our umbrellas....and just look @ the blurry view of the Broncos and Roosters in play....it was pretty heavy the rain....=P....*brrrrr*...Most of us Broncos fans stayed on...braving the rain and supporting our team!!

At the end of the match, Broncos won!!! Yeah!!! Broncos and Roosters exchange handshakes at full-time...=)...What a wonderful play of rugby!!



The final scoreboard at full time. 10-32 to the Broncos!! Their first win this NRL season and many more to come!....Go, BRONCOS!!! 加油!
