My favourite book - the what?

It was a toss up between the final two - the dictionary and the thesaurus.

And my decision was final.

I hereby declare the thesaurus the new love of my life.

I had never believed in fanciful words. Life is complicated as it is so let's keep our conversation simple.
Don't short and sweet words like "nice", "good", "no good", "bad", "okay" suffice?

Well apparently not, according to international standards.

Henceforth, the use of multi-syllabus words is highly encouraged.

The Ants of 17 Ballina St

We have been co-existing for about 3 months now!
How can these silly things feed on N-O-T-H-I-N-G??!!
They(the ants of 17 Ballina St) are just there scavaging on barren land... or do they want territory?


I have since moved my toothbrush base out of the bathroom because they insisted on paying a daily visit to the toothpaste, which makes me wonder - is toothpaste that yummy??!

Now, they are terrorising my kettle! My innocent kettle! All I want is to have a water source. Basic water, no preservatives, no sweetening - just simply water!

Boo hoo hoo *whinge*

Going OFF Bananas!

These are possibly the last two bananas I will be having for the next few months - coz prices of bananas are gonna shoot up!

I paid a whooping AUD3.00 for these two and apparently prices might go up 100%! So there goes - no more bananas for the next few months... weaning time...

To help me cope with my weaning, I shall rely on the more dependable potato chips and Tim Tams for now :P

Ribbon Cutting Ceremony

*Cut Ribbon*
*snip snip*

Yippee! The inaugural of my blog!

Yep, i caved in and jumped onto the bandwagon almost a century after blogging started!

I never quite believed in blogging (always thot it was rambling and perhaps whinging packaged in a nice, fancy template courtesy of blogger.com)

Then after a couple of months here in Brisbane and egging on by some beings, I thot "why not"... This is probably a brilliant way to log my journey to journalism-hood too and becoming wiser...

So here goes...
