Delicious lunch at new restaurant in Newtown called Bali Hai Seafood - we knew we had to check it out when we found out the chef was from Taiping, Perak, and we weren't disappointed.

Thanks Aaron Gan for taking much better photos than I can muster, and thanks to everyone else who came along :)

Paul Gray interrupted my evening by making me sit through the first cut of the Martin Yan Sydney documentary that he's currently editing. It still has a way to go but it's coming together at last!

We missed Izy.Aki's food so much, we couldn't say no when Adeline invited us to last night's collaboration dinner by Darren Templeman, Junda Khoo and Stephano Marano at Hojiak Town Hall. Great food, wonderful company with friends old and new, plus I even bumped into my sister Jessica and her daughter Sarah, as well as my Goat Curry Cook-off partners in crime Michael and Craig and their families.

Behind this sweet smile is a conniving little grommet - we had our monthly market stall yesterday so we arranged for his support worker to take him to school since we had to leave home early (something we've done once a month for 2 years with no issues - he LOVES being with her).

Yesterday, Mr. Noah decided to escape and run off (he is VERY fast) as they were walking to her car. Stuck at Concord Hospital Market we were frantically trying to figure out what to do (including calling up our pastor, Dan Au, to help look for him).

We were about to file a police report when a member of the public saw him crossing the road by himself, pulled over the side of the road, and stayed with him until his support worker found him. Praise God that he was found safe, and thank God for the kindness of strangers.

He did have a tracker but it was in his school bag which he usually carried (but he ran off without it), so we will figure out how to put it on his body next, and make it impossible for him to remove it himself.
