Pictorial Update (part 1)

At the start of the welcoming ceremony on the auspicious occasion of the appointment of Mr. Hamad Al-Hajry Consul General to the Sultanate in Australia. The night was organised by the OSSV (Omani Students Society of Victoria).

The president of the OSSV (left - Mr. Ibrahim Al-Manthery) handing the Consul General of the Sultanate (right - Mr. Hamad Al-Hajry) a keepsake on this memorable occasion.


Pride and joy. One of the many flags hung in the hall at that night, but it was the cream of the crop. ;) (The hall is in a college I studied in.)


The famous Melbourne Central tower dome. Melbourne Central is a very classy mall which is more or less a shopping haven located in the heart of the city.


Ceiling lamps outside the cinema in Melbourne Central, waiting for the movie The Da Vinci Code.


Meet my lava lamp. I think it's normal to stare at it for prolonged periods of time when you're in my room and especially if it's dark. It's ALIVE! lol


Our weekly indoor soccer matches. 3 teams (usually), 15 minutes per game, winner stays on the court. Great fun!
Who's going to make it to the ball first?


In or out?
Going once... going twice...


GONE!
Whoops, a second too late goalie.


Only in Oman will you find a car parked in a trolley bay, why? Obviously because there's a shade! Oh how I miss these sights.


Yes I'm a Piscean, but that's not why I loved this shot. That whale must've been in a good mood to allow that shot to be taken :p Isn't it wonderful?


Betrayal, treason... 5yana! After all these years... haha


Viva la Barcelona! A friend proud of the champions, and so was I, hence the pic!


House of cards. Had it not been so late, I might've bothered taking up the challenge to make a bigger one.


What the hell was I doing?! I remember the day, and I certainly wasn't bored. This should not in anyway depict how much I love the sun'n'sand.

"I'll bring you flowers in the pouring rain!"

Meet two little princesses. My cousins, I love them and miss them so much.

Meet mini-me. That's me in the portrait and this is my little cousin. He has a twin brother but it's only him that my whole family says looks like me. Any resemblance?


Awww! Another cousin, brother of one of the princesses above. This shot says something... "a devil caught in a moment of serenity" hahaha. Love him and miss him just as much.
