Commonwealth Games - Swimming & Boxing!

The Commonwealth Games are going on in our city right now! It's so awesome!!!!
My friend Amberley and I went to our first game the other day! We went to swimming! It was so fun!!!
These pictures aren't great because I took them with my phone. At first we weren't sure if we could bring cameras in or not (confusing rule list) so I didn't bring mine. We found out that day that cameras are allowed now, so the rest of my pictures will be good :)
Anyway, it was awesome! We saw a lot of different swimming events! We had a great time! One great thing about the Commonwealth Games is that the para-events are mixed in with the other events, it was awesome! Here's a picture from one of the para-swimming events. You can see that most of the swimmers only have one arm. There's one guy that doesn't have any legs. They were incredibly fast! They would have killed me in a race! It was awesome!
That same day, Adam and our friend Joe went to see boxing! Joe brought his camera, so we have some fun pictures from him! Adam looks a little scary here :) haha!
Look at this venue! It's awesome!
They had a great time! They watched mostly lightweights but got to see one heavyweight at the end. They had a great time - It was awesome!

Very cool! The CG were in Malaysia in 98... we weren't there (obviously) but the awesome stadiums and infrastructure that came with them are still used regularly! How fun about the para-events!

Comic Con 2013

 Comic Con 2013 just ended.  It was a fun one this year.  This was the 3rd Annual Comic Con here.  We've been to it all 3 years.  It's getting bigger each year!  I think they grew out of their venue this year...it was soooo crowded!  Here's me imitating "Superkudi" :)  Aashini and me :)  For the Love of Comics...  Some guys that were dressed up... the guy on the left isn't in his full attire... He won the CosPlay contest that day... he won a trip to Dubai to their Comic Con!!  This was my favorite costume of the day... Nyan Cat :)  There were lots of people there!  Me and the girls on the 2nd day :)  I had to have at least one jumping picture :) Our friend Ford made a video of the first day... check it out!

MasterChef Australia!!!

MasterChef Australia is a great show!  When it's on, we get it 5 days a week.  There are TONS of episodes.  The thing that makes it really cool is that the judges and contestants are all so nice!  The contestants don't stab each other in the back and they even help each other!   Anyway, the other night (a couple of weeks ago) some friends of ours were in town and wanted to go to Chili's, so we went over to the mall to eat :)  When we got there we saw that the bookstore had the Judges (and very famous chefs/restaurant owners) inside signing cookbooks!    When we got inside, they had just closed off the line, so we weren't allowed to go through the line and get them to sign a cookbook or get a pic with them :(    So... we stood as close as we could and took pics :) haha!  (and I didn't have my camera, only my phone to take pics)... Here's Gary...    Here's George with my friend Amy :)  And my at...

Cooking!

Cooking is sooo much harder here. THis is how you "puree" vegetables when you don't have a blender or food processor (or power). Some people have those things, but most people don't. This is my friend Gita. She's mashing up some onions. It's a marble slab that's not polished and they use a big rounded rock and just roll/mash! It's cool!!
