How long does it take me to write that much? Lemme see…
Well, if it is about my trips and wacky observations on, say, the etiquettes for using squat toilets in China, or the lovely way Americans say “my caw” to refer to their vehicle, or the (in)appropriateness of low-waist jeans and exposed bum-cracks on long [...]

Mum says, dancing is good for you!

I know I’m a little slow to this, but just saw this one on Mamamia and thought I should share:

And the best thing about the clip? Is that their dancing isn’t all that good, but did they care? Oh no sir, heck NO!
Now to me, that’s the attitude worth promoting.
~dance, like nobody’s [...]

Proof that I’m no longer a teenager.

I watched Twilight last night. Yeah, finally! I’m always a little slow to this kind of things. Ok, not a little slow. VERY slow.
Anyhow, it’s interesting to see how the undead were glorified to the max and the teen market was stirred, shaken, overwhelmed. Which followed by Zac Effron getting knocked off the teenage heart-throb [...]

Cultural Calendar & The Bar at Buena Vista

I thought I’d better keep track of the shows and gigs that we’ve been and are going to. Not to brag. Okay, not just to brag, but to have a record for myself. You know, so half a century later when I’m old and senile, when accessing the WWW from your laptop is something to [...]

Unwavering love

Despite all my best efforts, I can’t take my mind away from the devastating bushfires that are still raging in places around Victoria. The atmosphere’s been thick with smoke for the last two days. Even the harsh Aussie summer sun can’t seem to get through, and only manages to cast a muted, hazy, orangy light [...]

Naaat Fuuunnieee!!!

I’m screaming that line the way this little dude did:

Isn’t he just adorable? m’ and I have watched that clip some, oh, I don’t know, maybe 10475 times? We especially love the last bit when he completely LOST IT! So cute.
And nope, I don’t find it at all amusing that I still have to wear stockings during the day [...]

Randomly random randomness

The title says it all. There’s nothing exciting to write about. Sometimes my life feels like such a bore. No, that’s not true. Not sometimes. ALL THE TIME. It’s all as dull as dishwater. So vanilla. So beige. So B. O. R. to the I. N. G! B. O. R. to the I. N. G! [...]

Everyone needs a little Love

I’ve been feeling a bit blue today, since finding out this morning that a friend of mine and her bf of over 4 years have decided to call it quits. Yes, I know about my tendency to get all melancholy at other people’s stories, but still…
Anyway, good thing i saw this clip on [...]

A day like any other day

Thrilled: Because I’m going to see “Priscilla – Queen of the Desert” in 2 weeks! Woot woot!
Wondering: What’s the point of trying to do 22 laps at the pool, only to come home and pig out like one’s never gonna see any food again for the rest of one’s life?
Oooh, toasted roti bread. More please! [...]

Ebony and Ivory

I’ve been in a constant state of mild irritation for the last few weeks. “Thanks” to our lovely piano! It’s the highest E-flat key (or D-sharp if you’re so inclined, such split personality!) that somehow got a little stuck, I don’t know the hell why! Every time it’s played, it wouldn’t bounce all the way [...]
