was going to exchange some japanese yen, but remembered the silly trick about folding bank notes so that noguchi hideyo looks like he is wearing various hats. tried to follow one on youtube, but it was too fast and this is my weird approximation. maybe he just has a paper boat on his head. today [...]
another day when i turn around, and the light has just hit the right object at that moment, and my first instinct is to grab the camera… been a hectic work week and a bit. last friday was the public libraries western australia conference, which i appreciate for giving us good ideas, bringing librarians from [...]
walking around mount lawley today, came upon this fellow waiting to be moved to his new home, along with the owner’s other belongings in the car and the removals van. that was good timing. my last week has been horrid in comparison, due to busted sewerage pipes the water corp had to come and fix. [...]
a lovely afternoon at hyde park organised by the creative karen, with donations going to the red cross. a small section was also set up so that people could exchange goods for donations. these two very calm bunnies were not for swaps, but made me rethink the idea of having a pet rabbit. a constant [...]
i haven’t really been feeling up to it the past couple of days, so used my clicking skills to load up an imaginary grocery cart, which arrived on my door step yesterday morning. all good, including the twenty-two dollar “medium box of vegetables” which arrived in one of their green bags. oh and they forgot [...]
after work i drove the long way home so i could pass by the beach and see sculptures by the sea before it wraps up next week. a tuesday evening, but also a hot autumn day and plenty of people about, some for a picnic, some purely for the cooler water and others with tripods [...]
ring, ring… or rather, silence. turns out the phone line was in several modes of not working, and back to the drawing board again. sometimes i get little visitors sneaking into my old house of a thousand cracks, and i have to get rid of them, maybe one every couple of days. little things like [...]
[largeimage description="breakfast"][/largeimage] i’m generally a wimp when it comes to the heat, even though i’ve grown up in the hot australian sun, and spent the odd monsoon in malaysia. other than admitting defeat to say i’m not built to stay cool, i’ve decided that at least in my weatherboard and brick house, i can now [...]
not related to macau, but i just want to say thanks to hoi for her little librarian post. i’m really flattered. sometimes i wish i was doing more professionally outside of work as a librarian, but i know i have a lot of crazy projects i want to do, and sometimes they have to take [...]
this slide was found inside the projector i picked up at vinnies for thirty dollars with a set of hong kong tourist slides, now browned from age. i was surprised to find similar old slides displayed as a part of history next to the tram station at victoria peak in hong kong. but back to [...]
it took a while to convince others that mongkok is more than a gangster hideout in the movies…
hello, i’ve been to hong kong and back. was a bit unwell for a while, but it slowly went away, and mentally i have caught up with work. so i feel like i can write something here again, albeit nonsensical. but i’m at a weird point in my life at the moment, and maybe i’ll [...]
