Hey hey cloudy day
The rain looks like it's here to stay
Gumboots on! Come out and play
sunday 20th march 9:46pm
It's sunday evening and I have that gray feeling you get when your weekend or holidays are almost over. You wonder what you did with your time, and the answer is Not Much Really.
It's the end of the holiday blues! and it's cold and grey and boring, and being stuck inside makes it doubly boring. Anyway, introducing one of my new resolutions for 2011:
spend as little time around computers as I have to
At work you need the computer. Five days a week I need the computer. Five days a week I need to be sitting down on me bum! So for the other two days and every other waking moment I'm going to be spending my time outside (if please, mr rain goes away......) (go to melbourne!) and walking around and staring into the faces of my friends and family! Gosh I am so glad for my iphone, I am in the process of teaching it to run my e-life. yep my e-life ....if you're under the age of 70 and have friends, you know you qualify
Ps. I have decided that when I'm old I want to be surrounded by my loving kids and grandkids, and I will be strong and healthy (like my crazy 80 year old grandma) so I can go travelling around the world with my grandma and grandpa friends

To celebrate the 2 year anniversary of this blog, surviving through two 6-month hibernations (yep.. hasn't been updated for a while) and a semi-evolution into a travel blog, I have organised a party pulled together a blog index to cap off what has been happening here at foodchaser HQ

Ching Chong Bong! Happy Chinese New Year of the Tiger!
Today is the first day of a Chinese new year!
My house is filled with the earthy smell of smoking joss sticks.
Mum shepherds us to the altar as soon as we tumble out of bed.
She instructs us: 'take two joss sticks and hold between your palms. Bow to sky gods. Then close your eyes and think of all the things you wish for in the new year. Good health, prosperity, good fortune.'
'And good job - I always wish good job for you' she laughs.
Anyway I have been flickrwhoring my sunday morning away
here are some awesome chinese new yearsy photos -
Lucky Mandarin oranges are associated with good luck and given to friends and family during the Chinese New Year period. (I swear we never do this... we usually give away boxes of lindt and ferrero rochers haha... and mangoes)
Rabbid fried noodles LOL
Awesome tiger papercut
The scariest wall of chinese sausages I have ever seen
Happy stuffed tigers!
Sooo what's in store for 2010? I'm looking forward to
- 4 more months of full time A U D I T as an accounting intern
- 15 weeks of fashion illustration classes at sydney TAFE, and
- 6 months of exchange at Westminster University in London -- where I must must chase down black pudding, fish & chips from a street vendor, jellied eels (aha sounds gross?), Harrod's gourmet chocolates and Londonian indian curry !
