For the past few days, I’ve had this song stuck in my head. I’ve been trying to work out why. Something about the beat, something about the chorus line… it just drew me in. Hypnotic.
now i’m looking for a reason why
you even set my world into motion
OK, so the proverbial ‘what is the meaning of […]

… and still alive.
It is odd to consider that it was 5 years ago to the day that life changed forever.
I said goodbye to my old home, said goodbye to my brother, said goodbye to my mother - and said hello to growing up. I sometimes wonder what life would have been like if things […]

No really, who does? That was the whole idea of the Holy Grail, featured in many quality films such as Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade; the pursuit of an alleged fountain of youth - which Indy drank, and leaves me very curious for how young he will be in the latest film. Ofcourse, outside […]

There are two questions commonly asked of me around this time of the year:
1. Fradam, how did you get so tall!?
2. Fradam, why don’t you celebrate Christmas like everyone else?
