I was going to write about them movie I saw yesterday, which was Blue Valentine but since everyone is going on bout New Years I thought I’d add my two cents. But one quick word about Blue Valentine, it is a bit of a depressing movie, good but a bit depressing.
So it’s New Years Eve today. The end of 2010. I’m not going to write the standard end of year blog where I summarise...

facebook was the most-visited website this year. That is, of course, if you consider each Google offshoot site (Maps, Gmail) a separate website. If you count all Google properties, though, the search engine giant shoots up to #1, comprising 9.85% of all US visits. Some more weird bits: eBay was…

Ok I need to get my act together and start saving my monies for Europe for real. I’ve been super slack the last month and wasted nearly every pay check, meaning about $1200 down the drain.
I need to get the money together quick smart seeing as I leave in 2 months and have a lot of things to pay for before I leave. Plus I want to do some travelling when I’m back in Sweden to pass the...

After I asked you guys what you wanted to see me write about dating and committed relationships, there was one request I received the most. (Good God, writing about this shit is going to be a sparse thing for me after all I have a headache now.) I weigh in on it here:
Long Distance…
Interesting read about long distance relationships. I am in one myself and often cop a lot...
You know what is fun to do, breaking in shoes. I had to get new black flats for work and just everyday wear and I decided to wear them to work today to break them in. I had a preemptive bandaid situation going to avoid blisters but still my feet hurt. Maybe it’s because I was standing for about 12hours. The toe part of my shoes are a bit tight so my poor toes are suffering. I could do with a...

dumbest Finally, let’s say that, rather than using a gun to rob said Indian restaurant … you use an...

Christmas is over for another year, where and if I will be celebrating it next year I do not know. My family hasn’t done Christmas since my brother was old enough to know the truth about Christmas, and by the time I left high school it was a non event and just another day to us. My parents are Chinese Malaysian so Christmas has never been a big thing for them and they only did for me and my...

Hooray for free alcohol at the work Christmas party. I may be slightly intoxicated right now. Fun fact I am better at taking my contact lenses out when intoxicated compared to sober. Crashed some party, drank beer that I was supposed to pay for but didn’t. Met my favourite coworker’s girlfriend. She is so pretty and nice, they are so cute and perfect together. Feeling a little ill now,...

I’ve got my work Christmas party tonight. I kind of don’t want to go anymore. I really don’t want to have to socialise with my boss. But hey free alcohol so I may as well go, abuse the free alcohol and go home and pass out.

I don’t know how many people who follow me are Australian or how wide the Muhamed Hannef scandal spread, but basically an Indian Doctor named Muhamed Haneef was wrongly accused and detained and thus deported from Australia over terrorist allegations.
It was pretty big news here, especially because it all happened in the city I live in and quite near to my house actually. Anyway all of this...
