Bad MEC Pots: Before & After One Use






Ladies and gents, *this* is what a bad product looks like.

I bought a set of cheap camping pots at MEC. The one on the left hasn’t been used. I used the one on the right to boil water on my camping trip over the weekend. That’s what happened to it after just one use.

Candles are always a nice touch

When you were born, your parents probably had a celebratory party where cake was served in your honour. On all other special occasions, you probably also have cake.

But what about when something bad happens? Why do so many of us fall into despair with a bucket of cheap ice cream or crap cookie dough? Why must we subject ourselves to sub-par fatteners, when we’re already feeling down? I think it should all end with cake. :)

In the words of my friend @SimonLawry: “OHM NOM NOM“

The UQ Indian Student Society’s Garba Night 2009

During my last week in Brisbane, I met up with my pals from work one last time for lunch. Sara asked me what I was doing that night, and I told her I was going to Indian dancing lessons with my friend Sarah. She noted that I was always doing something fun and exciting while I was in Oz and said it was probably because I was travelling.

You know what? She was totally right.

When was the last time you said ‘no’ to something in your city (coffee / movie / whatever) when you could’ve said ‘yes’? I know I sound a little bit like I belong on the set of ‘Yes Man’ but whatever. The point is still good and valid!

If you’re living the role of a traveller, don’t you find yourself so much more receptive to new experiences than when you’re living your regular life at home? Don’t you ever wonder if that boredom you feel on your living room couch has something to do with that ‘I’ve seen everything there is to see and done everything there is to do in this town’ or ‘I’m too tired to go out’ mentality?

Well, if you want to shed that skin of negativity you might be pleasantly surprised. Go Indian dancing! :)

By the way, that last part was a metaphor — don’t ask me where they have Indian dancing lessons in Vancouver because I really don’t know. Today’s picture was taken at the University of Queensland campus where the Indian Student Society had their annual Garba night. We got to dance with sticks!

10.01.04 - Work Lunch

The January Lunch






It’s January — the month of diets and resolutions.

Today marked my first official day of work at my new job, and so I packed a very “January Lunch” of celery sticks, cucumbers, broccoli, bread and dip. How healthy am I right? *pat on the back*

Happy January folks!
