Went on a day trip yesterday with a rented car and CDs provided by one of the roadtrippers. Almost Lover caught my attention out of the 30 odd songs in a CD compilation we played a million times throughout the entire trip. It's such a sad sad song. First video below is the original version and the second a remixed version which I prefer. Went to search for the guitar chords the moment I got home. Hopefully I'll be able to play and sing it soon enough.

spending nights with jack
I made a new friend Jack who is a perfect gentleman. We've spent a few really cosy evenings together as you can see from the pics below.
Left: Mr Gentleman Jack. Totally untouched. I broke his seal.
Right: The Lady Jac with the Gentleman Jack. A perfect match.
Gazing at Jack with love.
Sudden possessiveness out of desire for Jack.
Oh when can I meet Jack again?
ah boy's 21st at chat thai
Our current intern affectionately known as Ah Boy turned 21 late March. The girls at work, with their natural motherly instincts, couldn't bear to see him swing into adulthood all alone in a foreign country without friends and family. Hence, we all got together for a sumptuous birthday meal at Chat Thai, Haymarket. The food was extremely yummy and I'm tempted to go again soon.
Below are pics of some of the dishes we had:
Thai fish cakes.
Fresh spring rolls - filled with smoked fish sausages, shredded poached chicken, cucumbers and shallots wrapped in fresh rice paper. Dressed with a sweet tamarind sauce.
Skewered and char grilled lean pork marinated in galangal, lemongrass and garlic.
Green curry.
Dessert (my fav!) - sweet glutinous rice with fresh mangoes and coconut flavoured ice cream.
Round two after the satisfying meal was an induction for Ah Boy into the drinking scene in Sydney. Below is a series of pics showing how the girls went through the steps of enjoying a Tequila shot complete with the best ways to lick the salt and suck the lemon.
They started off by demonstrating that the salt can be licked off any human skin surface.
Left: A round of Jaegerbombs to start off.
Right: Anticipation for the first shot.
Ah boy did all the steps right in the proper sequence. Lick, drink, suck. Well done.
Well, we sure hope Ah Boy had a great night with all of us Sugar Mummies!

changing the strings
Attended my fourteenth guitar lesson yesterday, learnt to change the strings, and successfully replaced all five (my tutor did one as a demo) of them without drama. ^^v
