Still Alive

Alrighty, haven't been here in a while, haven't blogged for even longer.
Why?
Cause I've been ultra busy at work. Spring is upon us Sydneyans and I am working on our local government's Spring Festival. A month long celebration with over 40 events.
More info here:
http://www.willoughby.nsw.gov.au/Spring-Festival-2008.html
Our main event is the StreetFair which consists of over 130 fair stalls, 4 entertainment stages, a parade which attracts over 130 000 people. Maybe I'll put up picks of the event when it happens.
It's at Chatswood, Sydney, Australia on the 6th September all day. So, whoever is in Sydney then, hope on a train to the North Shore and check this giant event out!

Evolution: PAK
Tuesday, Jul 29, 2008 1:39PM / Members only
From humble beginnings as a short film called "To the Finish", Joe created in approximately the year 2005 inspired by Hong Kong cop dramas and Japanese video games to the conceptualization of my adapted spin off, "Murder Music", the world that is of PAK has been a journey of many PLAYERs.
In the year 2008, Joe and myself has decided the direction we would like to bring this fictional world based in a non-fiction location to fruition. Since developing this world would amount in high costs that us mere indie film makers are not capable of, we have chosen to follow in the footsteps of Frank Miller and the like... create a Graphic Novel first.
Here is just a teaser of how this World's art may look. I introduce to you, PAK. The Ghost Eater.
If you wanted to know, the World of PAK is set around the fictional underworld of Sydney where crime and law are equal. Where the existence of each other is vital to the well being of society. PAK, and a group of highly skilled young professional assassins are caught between the two walks of life.
All images are by Joe, things are going slow in my part, but I hope I would have time to contribute some writing. -
Iceberg Restaurant

Since my mum has been itching to get her hands back into the restaurant business after a 7 year hiatus, I opted to take her and my dad to try out one of the top restaurants in Sydney.
I took them to Iceberg Restaurant, situated at the world famous Bondi Beach, it is rated with Two Chef hats from Sydney Morning Herald's Good Food guide. Sadly to say, I do not recommend this restaurant for the food.
The view is all good and all, but for a cloudy Sunday Winter afternoon, there really wasn't much to see. The design of the restaurant was very minimalist, lots of grey and white tones. And the seats were made from Asian inspired bamboo shoots or cheap looking lounge seats.
There wasn't a need to turn the lights on, but from what I saw, the ceiling had rows of bulbs that mimic fake candles... a bit tacky I think.
My soup special arrived, it was Chick Peas with Smoke Ham and other stuff. It was very salty, though, the portion was very big.
My mother wasn't too hungry, so we ordered her one of the day's specials, Soft Shell prawns. It's interesting though, when the waitress was describing it, it sounded so nice. As you can see, it just looks like fried prawns you'd get from super market packets. They're so small!
My dad's main. A whole 500gram Rib Eye steak cooked medium rare. This was the best plate of the day... but really, who can go wrong with steak if cooked right?
I ordered pan fried John Dory. To me, making fish shouldn't be hard at all. But the chef was able to over cook the fish, resulting in the meat being tough. The importance of fish is to cook it to medium, so that the fish's taste will come out and the meat texture is silky smooth. This is why I always prefer to have my fish Asian style.
So overall, I do not recommend Iceberg Restaurant. It is over priced, the view is just blanket of water and the food isn't done well. If my parents were to open a new restaurant, I think getting a Two Chef hat from SMH is a walk in the park. All you need is waiters that remember the menu special and make it sound good.
And as I'm not a drinker, I don't feel a need to talk about the bar area. Since the most important thing to a restaurant is it's food, not the view, not the service. The food should be like a drug, like a happy meal.
Rockpool (fish) on the other hand.... exquisite. And they're a Two Chef hat rated restaurant also. -
