We finally watched ‘Friends with Money’, after all the goss and rave thats been going around. About a week or maybe two earlier, I remember watching Chris Murray’s review on the movie on sunrise telly, he’d given it a rating of 4 out of 5. A good satire. The film surely has a lot of ‘modern’ comedy very carefully placed of sharply observed situations of the new millennium. Continue reading ‘Friends with money’

Deep within a forest, at the summit of a volcano, exists an extraordinary world—a world where something else is possible. A world called Varekai. No doubt I’ll update my post after having witnessed it in the flesh and blood. Varekai in Romanian dialect of the gypsy and nomads means ‘wherever‘ Varekai is a form of expressing movement growth and the infinite passion to wander this planet. It is Cirque du Soleil’s way of paying homage to the art and spirit of circus and the tradition thereof. Continue reading ‘Varekai - Cirque du Soleil’
In a few hours from now we’ll be at this gorgeous little place seated by the window overlooking the Sydney harbour as the night lights come on in the city and the ferries sail by over a scrumptious meal at the Harbourside Indian Restaurant. I can barely wait to be there. Having gone past this restaurant many times, I’ve always wanted to go in for a meal. Am waiting with baited breath.

As photographer for the sophisticated Home magazine, Harold Cazneaux produced some very extraordinary catalogue of Sydney style in the 1920s and 30s.
From the Art Deco skyscrapers of the city centre to images of modern home design and interiors, Cazneaux depicted all that was fashionable and new and strikingly modern and glamorous.

It will grab your attention as you go past. It’ll make you stop and look inside and ponder.. gee and it looks really nice and cozy. Colourful. I have gone past this place a number of times and wanted to go in for a meal… until the day finally arrived… we rocked up at Kathmandu Ma — a Nepalese restaurant on King Street, Newtown. The place is adorn with a lot of Nepalese souvenirs, big and small old and relatively new, right from the majestic panorama of the icy Himalayas framed against a maroon wall to the very traditional anodised metal amulets and necklaces and bracelets, the nepalese triangular flags that you see atop their shrines.

Time flies by way too quick when you’re having fun. Things have been generally rather busy the last few weeks and that explains it all. I have still not finished my vietnam gallery and have had to keep my all chores aside until I finish my two current side-projects(yes exciting). Here’s hoping I’ll talk about it soon. Oh a lot of things happened in the past few weeks where do I start…. of the things that I can remember.. watched Superman Returns, bought Aperture, watched Wah-Wah, Maxine turned 4Ø, High School Musical, caught up with Ruth and Andrew lost a game of scrabble with Nick, David cooked an absolute divine home made boscaiola, had lovely Indian food at the Malabar, slow cooked ribs at the Balmoral Bathers, fascinating garlic prawns at Miros on Liverpool, scrumptious breakfasts at the Avenue and Xenos, dinner at the Austrian Schnitzelhaus, wait no, its not all about food… but thats all I can remember… after all I am nothing but my inner me… oh and copious amounts of red. Life is hard… but I’ll come around before you know.

Adrian, Richard, David and I went down to the Rose Seidler House which was built between 1948 and 1950. It is one of the most uncompromising modernist houses in Australia. Nestled in natural bushland of Ku-Ring-Gai Chase, with great view from its glass walls and sun filled deck. We took a few photos around the place. Considering this house was designed and built in 1948 it is very modern and extremely well lit. If you visit Sydney and have similar interests I’d recommend visiting the Rose Seidler House.

I’ve have been looking for a rental unit in lower north shore for a while now. I am a bit over Hornsby(though I kinda love the greenery and the bushland shire feel it has to offer — my weakness), will give you that Russ… and I’m dead bored here so am trying to move out of this place. But its not always easy to find a place even if for a short time… Far worse none of the ads in papers or on the internet EVER tell you if they take pets which means you have to call them or find out when you visit…

Glorious weekend. I should have posted this on the weekend of the 26th November 2005 — but as you know I have a job to keep, a cat to feed, brush, bathe, walk, my inner man to please and a lot more exciting things that are not meant for you unless you are happen in the elite ‘puff’ club of the far north shore and no they are not web related either. Schade! Which also means I cannot tag them with technorati much really. And then I keep thinking to myself should I write about ‘em at all, chances are I’d get stalked like a friend of ours did a few weeks back… and now with the trees from my neighbours gone they could literally peep in and see me sleeping in my birthday suit with a pussy on my new summery sheets, scary!

Mum, Dad and I spent a fair bit of time planting bulbs I had bought somedays back. Autumn is the right time to plant your bulbs in if you care for plants and flowers in particular. Mary-Anne and I had bought a fair bit of ‘em from J N Hankcock & Co. We have gone through few pots of Fressias, white, creamy white, scented ones, coloured, double coloured, tall mixed tyes, Nerines, white, red, pinking red, wine red, Daffodils, pink laces, white, mixed… oh there is a lot of variety and to add to that I even got a Ctenanthe — an evergreen photosensitive foliage, and all this commotion as Chumki quietly and leisurely watched us working in the garden. She is not allowed to go out. The moggy neighbours cat is all out to get her and frequents our driveway way too often. We have moved some furniture around the lounge area and few pots and plants too — it looks awesome 
ofcourse, Ian and I just don’t have a formal degree in interior decoration is all. But that doesn’t stop us…
