Right before posting my last update, I had spent most of the night playing Scrabble with my parents and a family friend. Of all the competitive activities I get involved in, Scrabble takes its place just below basketball in terms of me bringing out my ‘take-no-prisoners-win-at-all-costs’ mentality. Yes, somewhere underneath this giant marshmallow coating beats…
So after handing in my final piece of course assessment, I managed to take some time to do that thing people call living. Of course, part of my concept of living is catching up on episodes of TV shows I haven’t been able to watch. Speaking of which, I just watched the latest Doctor Who…
I now have one month until exams start. The end of last week was spent dealing with what I like to call, ‘The Last Essay Hump’. The point at which you’ve completed the coursework for every other subject and you’ve got one final essay to do. By this stage, you really don’t care, you just…
I hope you all enjoyed a nice break over Easter, for those of you that got a break. I worked every day of the Easter weekend except for Easter Tuesday/replacement for ANZAC day public holiday. This didn’t worry me so much. A few friends and family expressed sadness or dismay at the fact I worked…

It turns out that my car is cursed. Maybe not ‘Christine’ level cursed, but some level of cursage. It is entirely possible that my car is made of hate, scorn and paprika. I’m not even driving it, by the way. My sister and her partner have been driving it since October/November last year, but that’s…
I’ve watched a lot of movies lately. There are various reasons for this, the main one being my parents went nuts on purchasing a stack of $7 tickets for Village that expired today. Onto the films! Battle: Los Angeles Remember when Aaron Eckhart was in good movies? Well, ok, he was in ‘The Dark Knight’…
How does one start a brand-new blog? Good question. Well, I’ll go into how this blog came about. After my friend Radovan (Hi, Radda!) suggested I keep a blog during my travels around Japan (Paul versus Godzilla), I decided it was time to try my hand at keeping an actual blog. I did have a…
