Two big hearts

Love love love LOVE this.

It's like doing the waltz on a cobbled sidewalk in Vienna on an lovely spring evening. With a Malay man.

Cause...you know...the song is in Malay.

Good Sunday, guys.

Me, myself and selfie

Weather has been awesome here in Krabi.

Going kayaking tomorrow.

Bring on the sunblock and aloe lotion.

Tanning is never my past time though I love the great outdoors.

Life and its ironies.

The ghost of Mass Comm past

Abby, Irda and I.

The former Mass Comm lecturers down at TMC.

Abby is for Media Studies.

Irda is for Public Relations and Business.

I am for Journalism and Film.

Good times.

Friday blues

Am setting exam paper.

And my godmother is accompanying me on the record player.

Come
Come
Come into my world.

5 more days...

...and it will be screw you, lesson plans, cause it is school vacation.

One week.

Then of course it is back to work again.

But now, let me deal with my Monday blues with old records.

Dust the vinyls.

Time out

Just a quickie.
