Had a conversation that seriously stated the obvious and it makes so much sense I went "woooo!". It went something like that:Mate: But that's just silly and such a bitchy, brainless thing to do.Me: I didn't get it either, but hey better to not be there to see it.Mate: OMG I just realised it takes on to know one. F**kMe: Errr yeah. I don't follow, think I'm having a stupid moment.Mate: I just

Gladiator sandals are ridiculous.They're absolutely hideous and imagine the tan lines! Yikes! And worse still, a heap of people that wear them don't get pedicures and have vomit-inducing cuticles. Everywhere I go this summer, chicks are walking around in these silly looking things - worse still, some of them have ham-feet! Ewwwww! To make matters worse, gladiator sandals are flats and do nothing

Recently I've had visitor(s) to this wee blog that seem to think they need to hide their IP address via websites that supposedly facilitate anonymous browsing - "The Cloak" being the most recent. So I wonder, do I care who reads my blog? It's not like I have the delusion of being a great writer, or some profound command of the English language, or write anything that's mind-blowingly

Who would have thought after Buffy the Vampire Slayer (BTVS), Angel, Firefly and The West Wing, I'd finally find another television series that I'm completely fascinated by. Dexter. Thanks to A2 I began with season one.. and before I knew it, it had been two days and I needed season two.. and three.With thanks to wikipedia, Dexter, the television series is: "an American television drama series

There's been a lot going on lately, some little things some not so little. Still top of the list is the fires that are devastating country Victoria. They're calling it bushfires, but sadly some of the blazes have been lit by arsonists. It's the worst bushfire disaster in Australia - ever. The death toll is closing in on 200, heaps of homes destroyed and over 5000 people are now homeless. Strong

I'm not going to bother editing this post.. I had one of those moments, you know the kind some people might call and epiphany or something similar. Here goes, I was on my usual rack at pilates and as I was quickly approaching a serious amount of tricep fatigue (seriously, I was shaking like a bloody leaf) I thought: "hey it is what it is and the phrase "never regret, never apologize, never

I had a long conversation with a good mate this morning about women and relationships. More to the point, what does a guy have to do to get more than good 'ol friendship from a chick he's got the hots for. No we're not talking about trying to get laid, but trying to get a woman to want to be the "girlfriend".Straight up I got the "women want to be with jerks" line, you know, the one where we're

I sat down to Gran Torino not knowing anything about the film other than Tim had heard good things about it. Gran Torino is named after the 1972 car that Walt Kowalski (Clint Eastwood) preens and polishes that is to be the instrument that shoves Thao (Bee Vang), the Hmong boy from next door, into his life. The story begins with the funeral of Walt's wife and quickly introduces him as a

I've been living under a rock!! After inhaling bottles and bottles of pink vitamin water in LA last summer.. thanks to the chemist (they call them drug stores) on the corner of Schrader and Hollywood Blvd, I've finally realized the good stuff has reached good 'ol little Perth. Seriously it was stinking hot in LA and the ice-cold bottles of vitamin water from the corner drug-store was a godsend.

Tim and I spent some time about Carnac Island this afternoon. We met up with Bart, Trav and his mrs, and their folks for a bit of a splash, food and fun in the sun. It was a bit of a bumpy ride over, the winds had kicked up a little more than Tim had expected. It was a beautiful day though :) Sun high in the sky, toasty warm weather, crystal blue water, good company, food and sea lions!There were

I had what I think was was my first oral cavity related injection ever yesterday afternoon. I don't think I'd ever had one before.. if I'd had, I totally have no recollection. The needle was this long >------------ no kidding. Nothing major though! I just needed to get an old filling refilled - the one filler that was there fell out a little while ago, and it's felt strange ever since. But,

I can't believe the random stuff we discuss on msn messenger. It's all somewhat valid, interesting enough, but seriously, sometimes I wonder where it all comes from. Boredom? Hahahaha. Anyway, a couple of friends had a chat about family - parents in particular - and we what tell them, don't tell them and pathetically blatantly lie about.The main topics of contention were salary, sex and future

Food: Between the two of us, we selected (#39)Chicken Korma and the (#44)Kadai Lamb, a serve of garlic nan and rice to share - deciding to err on the side of portion caution. The Chicken Korma was served warm, not hot, but warm, in a little urn and was extremely creamy and tasty enough, but after a few mouthfuls began to get sickening. Our little dish of Kadai Lamb, also served warm, not quite

Two days to Christmas and I'm fat already!Had the work Christmas do at ooooo... wait for it! The Grand Palace on Friday night. The food was alright, but their non-Christmas fare seems better. Every meal that I've had there that wasn't any time close to Christmas has been awesome, but the two meals I've shared there in Decembers have been not quite so impressive. Maybe the cooks get silly season

Yesterday started awfully rough. There was a god-awful tantrum, yelling general happening of stompy feet. And no, it wasn't me.It didn't much rosier, tried as I might to find my rose-tinted shades. Then it got worse. Takeaway and greens helped. I slept and it was Thursday.Thursday was subdued. I had a bit of a wibble cry, spoke to B, pretended to smile, and it all got better. Getting the wee

"Are you going home for Christmas? Thought you might be having a white one" said Antz. I don't think I'd ever had a blonder moment! I stared blankly at him and went, "Huh?" It seems Antz our favourite barista thought I was American.. strange that. According to Timmeh, it's not particularly surprising. Seems it's the way I speak and that god-awful Sesame Street accent that I have. I can't say I

Today was a good day even though I burnt my hiney. Yeah funny, haha haha haha and ha f'in ha. As usual Tim and I had squabbles, I got blubby, we hugged, kissed and made up. But that has nothing to do with how it was a good day.

It's that time of the year when people ask, "What do you want for Christmas?"Was talking to Boothy over lunch the other day and I'd realized I hadn't actually thought about it. And so it seemed, there's nothing I really want. Like really really want. That properly drove home to me how fortunate I am, to not want for anything. Sure there's frivolous material goodness that I could think up that I

Seriously some people live in a state of terrible, perpetual, damned pathetic inflexibility. Bloody owie! I would know. I've been going to pilates reformer classes for the last month and finally made it to "level 1" last week. Yeah, say it with me.. "oooooo level one.." Before then I'd never thought I could feel nauseous during a pilates class - the kind of nauseous I used to get when I was

I had the bright idea of taking Tim to see a musical..I was wonderfully impressed by the performance of Spring Awakening I managed to catch on Broadway in New York, and when I heard about bare, I thought it might be a good easy start to get Tim interested in light-hearted musical theatre.Boy oh boy was I wrong.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family of Hwei Yan. Hwei Yen was one of my seniors at school and though I didn't know her well, she was always friendly. My heart goes out to her sisters, I remember them being very close. Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes is certain for those who are friends. -

Closing in on two weeks now..I keep thinking of Thai food. I miss it, I want it, but I'm not sure where to go for *sigh*:-Prawn Tom Yum-Old School Pineapple Rice-Pandan Chicken with Sugar Cane-Pad Thai-Salt and Pepper Squid-That yummy spiced crab thing-Green CurryMmmmm food. Tonight I'll settle for some hearty Irish fare with good friends.

All that whinging, all that whiney bullshit. There's no helping the people that are ugly on the inside. No amount of make-up can hide the ugliness that manifests on their face.A pity I gave up pitying huh.

I'm not in the mood to write, but I don't want to forget so in brief:My man took me on a dinner date last night, just down the road to the Karalee. Yeah, we could have walked, but then he would have had to tell me where we were going.. Great company, really good food and cadbury girl had serious giggles from the red. We totally under estimated the food - I had the swordfish which was moist,

I part of book club with people that seem pretty cool.. I've met most of them only once over dinner at the Witches' Cauldron. We've settled on another book that we'll be meeting to discuss over some sort of meal sometime in mid December. Found the book? CHECK! Bought the book? CHECK! Read the book? cricket sounds...There's the problem. I seem to have somehow misplaced my penchant for reading. I'm

As with every story, there's the "other side".. the self-absorbed never acknowledge it and maybe we should leave them to their stupidity.The following is "The True Name of Barack Obama's Change: Intolerance" by Jeff Tyler"I have to disagree with those who say that Sen. Obama has not achieved anything significant in his political career. He has some record setting achievements to present to

I'm beginning to feel like a regular to our preferred Dim Sum joint in Northbridge. I've had three weekend brunches in the last month there and I might actually being getting a bit sick of it. The food is pretty good, but we all know too much of a good thing causes a serious case of "jerlak". Shook it up a little with Bean today, none of the typical siew mai and har kows. We had scallop dumplings

I'm pretty sure I've never done this, but the world is full of first-times, so here goes!"Do not throw the lube at her" is one of the funniest titles that have made me chuckle, so it totally deserves a special mention. It's one of many, many many, many - a couple of years worth actually! of blog entries by SO@24 that are read worthy.. here's a snapshot:So@24: You okay?Lil' Bro: No man. I'm not.

A bit late I know, but I'm blaming my grumpy tumtum for my tardiness with this post.The United States elected their 44th president a couple of days ago and it's been slated be to be one of those historical moments where the world came to a fork in the road and chose one path over another. By no means am I saying the actions of the USA dictate the world's direction, but it sure has a huge impact.I

Waking up nauseous on Thursday was an a giant cloud of evil foreboding. I made it to work spew-free but when my first glass of water came back to visit it was the start of the slippery bile-filled slide downhill. And thanks lovely people for the "ooooh you might be pregnant" well wishes - if every chick that felt nauseous was actually pregnant, there would be whole lot more rabid pregnant

There was a time when Devon Aoki was serious hot Asian totty. She is still smokin' as you can see:but move over... cos Tila Tequila's in town!:I've no idea if Tila's had work done, and I'm not sure I care! She's got a serious case of "stunning" happening for her. Whatever it is you're doing girl, I want some of it! Yowzzaah!

The Red Bull Air Race was on this weekend and thanks to Timmeh's folks we had awesome passes! Woooo! I wish we bothered taking more photos, but it just didn't happen. Oooops.Thanks again for the awesome passes!It was a toasty sunny day, and someone obviously had a few vodka and redbulls.. A few shots of the action.I really like this last photo :)We had a great time, and there's not much else to

Had a great afternoon today, but I'll rattle on about that tomorrow when I can be bothered with silly photos. So whilst trying to rehydrate myself, I sat through what seemed like a "Sex and the City" marathon this evening on foxtel and I think I've finally realized why it's such a popular series. In one of the episodes, I think it's titled "They Shoot Single People, Don't They?" Carrie asked if

I have a serious case of the grumps thanks to bloody taxes. Say it with me, "Blood and Taxes".BUT getting a huge bunch of pretty flowers at work does make baby steps to making me smile.

So you work hard, get paid reasonably and do your best to save for your future.But there's no financial incentive, the tax office just slugs you harder. Maybe it's better to be one of those pathetic people that are in an office all day doing filing, photocopying and data entry that gets paid peanuts and go no where? Better to be a sponge?

happy two years Timmeh!Totally psyched! All those laughs and giggles, smiles and tears. And some serious shite storms. We made it to two whole years - twenty-four whole months, lots and lots of days. Here's to the road trips to the sticks, Margs, Busso, Kalbarri, York and all the day-trippy places, and to flyable adventures to Sydney, Honkers and beyond! Yaaaaaaaaaammmmm Seeeennng *hahahaha*More

As I mentioned earlier, I ventured to Borders this afternoon. There's now a list of books I seem to think I want to buy:--> The Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer: --> The new book in the Darkglass Mountian Series by Sara DouglasEven though I haven't yet finished reading the Serpent Bride..Poop Timmeh says it's bedtime.. I'll update this tomorrow---update: 27/10-1930And of course The Fingersmith

Continuing with the happy days vibe of late, today was one of those crisp, pretty spring Sundays that fit right in. Began today with a giant skinny hot chocolate at Dome .. and then off to our usual Dim Sum joint with Aimee, Evie and... Bean who was a tardy bean! Bean made it just in time - just before we got the shrimp dumplings! We had a lot of shrimp over lots of laughs; and somehow Evie

The last couple of days at work have been mighty busy - in a good way. I've always known that I'd prefer to be busy at work than sitting about twiddling my thumbs, but a few days in the last couple of weeks have really driven the point home. No way could I ever be one of those pathetic people that are in an office all day doing filing, photocopying and data entry. Talk about mind numbing! There's

Conversations are strange creatures, they begin with trivialities like that dress that you think might make you look fat from a particular angle, plans for the weekend and then on move to random things like how the warmer weather is making my hair weird and for whatever reason it turns to "that first time".

Actually, maybe he already wears the geek badge..?- I drink way too much Coke Zero.- Simplicity sometimes seems so complicated.- The value of the Australian dollar.- Poor M is totally stressing and I'm not sure why.

Yesterday I got a brief overview about new(ish) Citrix Xen range - the one with XenApp, XenDesktop and XenServer. I have to admit, a good bit of it got lost in translation - especially the bit about licensing and how it all works with the Access Gateway. Okay, they didn't actually talk about how it all works with with Access Gateway, they just mentioned it a couple of times, so I'm not that much

I woke up feeling fat, so after two peanut butter and honey sandwiches for breakfast, exercise was in order. It felt like ages since I'd been to town, so town it was. I swear the Kookai email advertising their sale had NOTHING to do with it. Scored an awesome parking spot on King Street and began my wander.

There was a plan, an actual plan.. okay more an outline, for what we were going to do yesterday. Timmeh and I had a date to go for a drive to a quiet picnic in the country and a few drinks under the stars from a sweet little lookout we'd found a couple of weeks ago. So our day began with me scooting off to an hour of exciting grocery shopping and really blowing the budget - I had to get all those

Had a strange conversation with a friend that really made me think. It's weird because now I'm on the other side of the fence, being good mates with the person that's the proverbial "third-party" in a relationship. Reading your friend type, "i ve been a mistress" (yes I know it's missing punctuation!) on msn does get the brain juices flowing. I mean we've spoken before and she did say she had

I can't seem to shake my hankering for teriyaki chicken sushi, and a huge serve of quality singaporean-style chicken curry. Gaaaaaaaaah!

Bubble bubble toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble. So I've joined a book club - yeah I know it's so exciting! And our dinner meeting is is coming up and I'm hell looking forward to it. There's just a tiny issue.. I just can't seem to get into reading the book! Bernadette is going to be cross.

Leave your heart at the door or have it beaten to a bloody unrecognizable pulp. Keep trying, living, thinking, wanting the dream. The point of it all. A means to an end. Does that it's better to not bother at all? Or does it mean to not be afraid to try because it'd all mean nothing after all? I'm going to die. I challenge death to claim me. I'm going to keep on with the bloody hurt and live the

Just watched Juno. It's an awesome movie about life in a very real sense. Everything's disposable, but love makes the sunny bits just that little bit warmer. I have heaps more thoughts about the movie, really it's pretty special, but I need to ready myself and go collect my teddy bear.

The last couple of weeks have been uppity and downy and Timmeh's off to Sydney for work and a tiny catchup with Steggles. There's been talk of moving about and interviews and exchanges of words, I'm still a little undecided. The wee positive (?) is that in this instance I don't decide on whether or not I get the option, but if I'm presented with it, I still have the final say. Lots to think about

We had a plan this weekend. We did. Go see the tulips at Araluen. And other weekend-y things we do - read not very much, chill, space, chores, shop, chill. Say it with me, CHILL.So went the weekend beginning with brunch at Baabaa's where the servings have been altered once again.. My "Entire Breakfast" was much bigger than I remembered and would have fed us both and then some. And they'd changed

Ups and ups and too bloody many downs. Downs are bloody evil, they make your heart hurt, your head hurt and the snott factories in your nasal cavity work waaay overtime. Oh and sometimes they stab your hip-pocket so many times you wonder where all the blood comes from.I've learnt I don't want any more life experiences.

I'm sad, almost miserable about my personal state of affairs, but this is secondary to what's happening in Singapore.Check out "One Nation Under Lee" a doco by Seelan Palay, which of course is banned by the PAP that's always ruled Singapore with an iron fist:

My mind is a mess. Not the usual mess of everything of inconsequence, this time it's a mess of thoughts and somehow a blank. I don't know what's happened, the emotions come in waves of sorrow. For whatever reason it all came to a head, I asked the question and I'm not sure what the answer was.I began to cry and I haven't yet really stopped. I rang my Dad, and bawled down the phone over land and

Yesterday I made strange nail colour choices at my mani/pedi at Opal in the city.A result of Opi's Teal The Cows Come Home on the fingers and Opi's Light My Sapphire on the toes..I'm undecided if I properly fancy my colour choices.. no serious buyers remorse, probably more thoughts of "oh my gawd! those don't look like my hands and feet". I've stuck to the wonderful red-orange and magenta shades

What's it mean when someone says "I love you"? Learnt today that one of my good mates parted ways with her fiance. They were together for ages, well as long as I've known anyway. The usual gig of heaps of ups and downs and all the quirks unique to their relationship.. and that fateful phrase "I love you" that gets said a lot - probably more than meant.When someone says I love you and meant it,..

Somedays I wonder.. okay, some days I just procrastinate and my mind wanders.. does a copycat think that by saying the person they copied is being the copycat make them feel better? These copycats often seem to think that just because they decide to proclaim they're being copied makes them the all important "trendsetter", the originator of whatever so-called coolness they're trying to claim as

I have to ask, why set yourself up for rejection when you know that the best you will ever be will never be good enough? It's not just what you look like, but everything about you. Not. Good. Enough.Maybe it's so the rest of us can laugh at you? No? Gawd I can be so honest (read: bitchy) some days :)awesome image above stolen from www.spinglobe.com/blog/

My first major flight delay preceded my first time to Las Vegas; a combination of evil fog and air traffic control in San Francisco made my plane late, 6 hours of lateness. The upside, is Las Vegas never really closes, so I when I finally got to my Imperial Palace smack in the middle of the strip, there were still hours to burn. The hotels here don't really have the large reception areas I'm used

My first and last trip on a Greyhound took me from LA to San Diego - I'm not even going to start on why the bus ride full of strangely ripe smelling Mexicans is not something I ever want to do again, and how the bus company managed to "misplace" half the baggage was just the cherry on top of the cesspool of a sundae.San Diego, the home of the Pedros and that world famous zoo!

LA was huge. A little over-rated, but then I might think different if I was rolling in the moolaaaa, or my folks had heaps to burn - think Maseratis, Tiffany trinkets and throwaway Louis Vuitton loafers.And Disneyland brings my visit to LA to a close..Six Flag's Magic Mountain had the best rides, I got photos with Mickey, Minnie and Goofy at Disneyland, and I strolled down Rodeo Drive dressed

Fourteen whole days and then some since I've been home. It's a great feeling being able to get big hugs from Tim everyday; I'm a giant hug-fan, no kidding when I say they're therapeutic, and they're that little bit more WOW when you know you're hugged because you're loved.

Spent the last couple of days in Washington DC.. I've learnt that 4th of July weekend is very possibly the worst time ever to be in the capital city. There were people everywhere, the Smithsonians were packed and so took waay longer to see everything. Also, something about it made me compare the people I'd met so far.. everyone I'd met, local to the respective cities, up until Washington DC had

I had a brief conversation with Pingy the other night on msn and the recent overdramatization of the latest "Xiaxue vs Dawn" saga made me wonder if we could make a living posting random nothings and posting it all online and getting paid for it.
