7.6 Richter Earthquake in Southern Sumatra – Tremors in Malaysia – Tsunami Warning Issued

Today at approximately 6.25pm I felt some strange vibrations in my office – my chair was shaking and my table was vibrating. I checked with Suanie, at first she didn’t feel it but after a while she did – confirmed tremors. It lasted quite a long time and felt like it came in 2 stages [...]

Removing The Safety Blanket – Shaving Your Head!

If you knew me or have seen me around, you would have noticed my hair was thinning (although it is hard for most people to see because I’m 6’5″ – rather tall). It was becoming a bit of a comb-over to be honest. You can see the tragedy that was my hair in these pics: [...]

Movie Review – UP – Cute!

Carl Fredricksen spent his entire life dreaming of exploring the globe and experiencing life to its fullest. But at age 78, life seems to have passed him by, until a twist of fate (and a persistent 8-year old Junior Wilderness Explorer named Russell) gives him a new lease on life.
