So here I am again. It's been a while hasn't it. My alto sax initially got a lot of use. Funny isn't it, how a fulltime job takes away all your spare time. Haven't had any time to poi too, apart from Jugglejam on Mondays and the monthly Moonfests. And even then, it somehow seems I tend to play with the stockwhip instead of poi shrug



Another lens has been added to the stable too. A Canon EF-S 10-22 3.5-4.5.. nice and wiide. But it all boils back down to that time issue. Despite having the new lens, I seem to find I'm out taking less pictures.. the folio hasn't been updated in a while, and I'm starting to get the horrible feeling I'm stagnating. Must. Get out of this rut.



If you're my muse and reading this, inspiration needed now. hug



-Edited 14 Dec 2005-



I liken this to opening the fridge to find that jar of misc what's it, several months expired ubblol. Hey how's it going? wave



So what's new! Well.. poi's getting a bit better for one thing. Nice how after poi-ing for a while, you stop hitting yourself senseless. In fact, one might argue how after a certain point, each hit puts more sense into you.. wink Haven't gone skating or rockclimbing in a bit, but that's ok- life's full of wonderful distractions, and really, you can only do a couple at a time.



University's just wrapped up! Yep. A degree in art & visual culture, television & digital media.. Just waiting for a piece of paper at the moment (yay!). And trying to sort out how Australia will let me live here forever and ever biggrin. Have I mentioned how wonderful it is, you so ought to visit *nudge* wink Also been getting out the with photography and stuff- a couple of projects to follow up on, blue skies and puffy clouds as far as I can see.



Updates updates. [insert geek] I've updated my camera gear too.. my 20D, 17-85 4-5.6 IS and 580EX now have a 70-200 2.8L IS to play with.. soon too, riding on getting a particular gig, either a 350D and a 24-105 f4 IS, or another 20D.. -grin- [/end geek]



[edit 14/12/05: Gig didn't go through, and ended up performing at it instead of shooting it ubblol Life has a funny way of messing you about doesn't it.. so no 2nd body for me just yet, or nice 24-105 f4 IS redface]



Been taking lots of photos lately. I think there's something intrinsically beautiful in capturing moments- you know how you look at a photo and it brings you back to where you were that day, who you were with, how the air smelt even.. Maybe one day I'll get to exhibit ubblove.. but yeah.. lots of work to be done meantime.



Hmmmm.. yes the world's beautiful today. It's good to have new toys, new moves, new direction.. old friends hug.. a best friend hug2, and enough distractions not to get bored for too long.



Btw.. favourite words haven't changed.. ubbrollsmile And mm.. I'm still not too close to balletic, and dulcet..



Hmm.. la la la laaa squawk.. footinmouth



[edit 14/12/05: I now have a beautiful alto saxophone- the best use of which I have thus far found, is to attract ducks and other misc waterfowl]



Yep, how about we say still aspiring. biggrin



Hope all's well with everyone- don't be strangers now! hug biggrin

I've been exploring this site a bit lately, and have decided everyone seems like a nice bunch- thought it's about time I said hello. Ryan, 24, born in Singapore, but Brisbane Australia has been home to me for the past 3 years.



I love photography, playing the guitar (if one took a picture of me with my guitar, it looks like I'm playing it- does that count?), getting from point A to B on my trusty mountain bike, inline skating and hockey, occasionally rockclimbing, and just being in good company. I'd also like to add poiing to the list when I stop hitting myself senseless.



Irrelevantly, my two favourite words (I've got heaps if anyone's interested) are 'balletic' and 'dulcet'. 'Balletic', unfortunately, isn't a word I'd use to describe anything I can do, and 'dulcet' is a word I haven't dreamt of aspiring towards yet.



Enough for now, don't be strangers! biggrin

Hey miss.. all's pretty sunny these days- which is good because I've got a daily bit of a walk to work, and I've got holes in my work shoes ubblol. I've worn them to bits.

Not good for the drought though, so yeah, I guess some rain would be good too- will just have to buy better shoes.

As for sweet.. yes, these days are pretty nice. The odd few stresses and and heavy hearts have been trying to get to me from time to time, but working hard to keep my chin up. How are you?? What's new in Cambodia? hug

Yeah working as a site clerk at Wiluna Gold Mine for Barminco.

Unofrtunately those really really big trucks that are four stories high are used in open cut mining. Wiluna is an undergriound mine. We have big trucks and machines but they aren't quite that big....hehehe

Still in negotiations with the safety guys about bringing my fire equipment up to site.

Hey we can go blading round the river here in Perth when you finally get your arse over here!

Everything for me has been going good. No badness in my life at this point in time. The medication is all working so I have even been feeling good health wise which makes a nice change. YAY!

Hmmm...new in Cambodia, its rained a little bit recently! ubblol

Other than that all is good, start of low season here which means a lot of chilling out time for me, and I can focus on my classes at the orphanage more which is cool.

But its also the hottest time of the year, and even after 4 months of aclimatising, I'm still finding it hot work!

My man toy has left so now I have nobody to play with, but I'm sure I'll work something out! hug 's to you and the lady! smile

Fi: Hey it's been a while- how did the negotiations go?

But Perth's sooo far away! Would you happen to be coming for 2Uberoz or Common Ground in a few months?

Kels: Hmm.. what defines low season? I wasn't aware it got too hectic over there. Sorry too- it's been a while *brushes dust off self* hugs from the lady and me ubbangel
