I’m a soulman, ba-nana ba-nana

Saturday, April 4th, 2009

Last night, Kellie and I experienced Guy once more.. and whoa. The guy does not disappoint. He’s still the same kinda Guy he always was - ready to intersperse random chatter about his boots, jeans falling off and what not, in between his songs. This was a rather unique concert; he played a few songs […]

Here comes the sun…

Friday, March 27th, 2009

And it was alright! Josh and Binh’s wedding … phenomenal. First of all, I have never seen so many people gathered in one spot at 6 am. The fact that so many people were willing to do so, some travelling from other parts of the country, and some from other parts of the world.. wow. […]

When Casting Crowns came to town

Saturday, January 31st, 2009

It was their first visit to Australia, and my first time seeing a big time Christian band live… and let me just say, wow. I’m so happy I got to be there with Jamie and simply experience it. I do not know what I had in the way of expectations - I’d heard a number […]

Nice day for a white wedding

Friday, January 16th, 2009

It was a scorching morning. The mercury exceeded 40 in some parts of Sydney, and the prospect of a beach wedding in the afternoon seemed quite appealing providing there’d be a swim involved. I contemplated bringing an umbrella along to shield me from the sun. However, soaring temperatures are generally chased by storms, and yesterday’s […]

Did you know Davy is STILL in the navy!?

Wednesday, December 10th, 2008

Billy Joel. It’s near 24 hours later, and I am still reeling from the performance; I know not what I expected, but whatever it was, it certainly was not what I got. The word ‘Entertainer’ is more than simply the title of one of his songs — that is simply what he is. A year […]

Being thankful…

Thursday, November 27th, 2008

Whilst not American, I tried to celebrate Thanksgiving Day today. Thanks to Jamie and Sammie who brought me up to speed on what thanksgiving is about: eating, games, eating, football, eating, and of course, being thankful. Does anyone realise that they get a public holiday for this?! Amazing.. they definitely need one here in Australia. […]

Summer of concerts (part 1)

Saturday, March 1st, 2008

So, summer has finally drawn to a close: I refused to wear more than a t-shirt yesterday as my own little element of defiance against the elements. Apparently La Nina is to blame for:
- the wettest summer in over 5 years
- the coolest summer on average in over 10 years
- the least amount of daily […]

Final Destination 4

Friday, January 18th, 2008

Wednesday morning began quietly, as most tense films begin. After an excellent Moroccan lamb (thanks Adrian) the night before, I was exceedingly keen about both lunch and a visit to the bank later that day (oh, and work ofcourse.. *cough*).
In hindsight, much like the films, the innocuous nature of a certain chain of events in […]

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today…

Wednesday, June 13th, 2007

The eagerly anticipated wedding of Megan & Josh took place a short while back (yes, this is the Josh of paintball fame) in the beautiful Chinese Gardens of Friendship in Darling Harbour.
The weather of the past week reminded me of the weather in the days leading up the wedding: it was quite wet. Not quite […]

Yohoho, a pirate’s life for me!

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007

So, the day of reckoning finally arrived, and the third, but possibly not final installment of Pirates. In case it wasn’t clear, these tickets were obtained as a result of winning a Mix106.5 competition, and resulted in Kellie and I seeing Pirates 3 quite early! Seeing the movie before most people saw it has its […]
