It’s not what you think… Once upon a time I liked mathematics as a subject at school. It wasn’t only about trying to master intricacies and techniques of problem solving through equations, polynomials, geometry, integration, and calculus. But it was also the way it was taught, the way I learned it. I remember my Year…

The Potting Shed at The Grounds
I went to The Grounds on Easter Sunday for lunch to spend some time with family. The day turned out to be more than just having lunch and coffee at The Potting Shed. The Easter Markets were on at The Grounds, the preferred coffee supplier for the upcoming TEDxSydney event, drew the crowds and truly was a photographer’s…

Living is Easy With Eyes Closed | Spanish Film Festival 2014 | Around Australia
I like surprises. I was impressed with the Spanish Film Festival’s sensational opening night film, Living is Easy With Eyes Closed.

What lessons can be learnt from Romance Was Born exhibition at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week 2014 | Sydney
With all the glitz and glam and hype from fashion week last week, I must admit I did feel a little underwhelmed with some of the designs. I was hoping the Australian collections pushed boundaries. To be honest, I preferred the runways of One Fine Day that was held earlier in the year at Carriageworks,…
How to walk like a model from the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Australia 2014 | Sydney
As Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Australia 2014 draws to a close, I was thinking about what practical tips could I share with my fellow blog readers? I’m sure the fashion magazines and bloggers would have already covered the styling trends from the runways at the show in some depth. On reflection, I might have appreciated…
2001: The Space Odyssey | Interview with Keir Dulea and Gary Lockwood at Hayden Orpheum | Sydney
I grew up during a time watching science fiction films, such as Star Wars and Star Trek where it was assumed mankind and extraterritorial life form co-existed side by side. There was rarely a question in these films of where Yoda, Wookie or Ewoks came from in Star Wars or how it came about that…
