Growing up with dogs
Losing Bifi made me reminisce a lot about the pets in my life. First and foremost, Bifi is still on my mind a lot, and it still feels unreal that she’s not here anymore. I often still find myself yearning to pet her little head, missing that bond we shared. I want to hold on to those memories for as long as I can, because eventually they will fade.
She was not the first pet I lost. I grew up […]

# Who Watches the Watchmen?

Call it materialistic, but I remember when my Muppet Central friends and I would all rush online on Christmas afternoon to talk about the Muppet gifts and some of the other stuff we got. I wish I had people to do that with now. My aunt did have some of my pictures from Atlanta made into Christmas ornaments that were really cool! I also got some nice Wandering Inn stuff. And all the blankets and socks we collectively got, we joked that it was like we lived in Alask! #Christmas #Reminiscing
Remember when Big Balls got the shit kicked out of him? #reminiscing

10 years of attending SPIEL, the biggest board game fair in the world
I have the privilege of living not too far from the biggest annual board game fair in the world – SPIEL in Essen, Germany, which happens every October from Thursday to Sunday, and which has been around since 1983. As a board gamer, this is obviously a dream come true! I’ve been a casual board gamer for about 20 years, and a very serious board gamer for about 10-12 years. During my study […]

Little River Band - Reminiscing - 1978
I miss the days of web forums. >20 years ago I frequented a couple for my specific interests, communicated with others who shared that interest, some I still remember as being cool people I'll never met in the meat space.
While I like Mastodon more than other similarly laid out social media sites, I'm not a fan of the "dumpster approach" to communications. I like discussions categorized and sorted into their own board.
Just some old man grumbling.

And they could never pick the right colors with the eye Lego has. My brother and I were in looking over our old Lego bricks, and were marveling at their color choices. Not over-saturated, not under-saturated either, just tastefully perfect.
That said, I wish Lego wouldn't just make up random bricks like Chewbacca Head Brick etc. to fit their sets.
Given, this was a long time ago (well, for me, in my twenties).

I saw a post about the 20th anniversary of hurricane Katrina.. Hard to believe.. I was in Beaumont a few hours down the coast and got hammered and then Rita. Seems like just a few years ago.. funny how time passes when you get older
I do miss "the occasion" of #fondue dinner parties of the 80s. All of us young couples, predictable engagement/wedding gifts, but useful & welcome all the same. Nowadays ofc, dead as the dodo & prolly just a target for mockery. But, back in the day, they were a symbol... young adulthood, blossoming love, pairings, responsibilities beginning. Now, it's all lost in dust in my rear vision mirror, along with so much else. 😥

My Teenage Years
Click here for more articles & daily dose.
Describe a phase in life that was difficult to say goodbye to.
Upon reading this prompt, I was reminded of my high school days. The first year of high school was very tough for me in terms of adjusting to a new school, cultures and subjects.
I went from a comfortable place to a different one without any guidance nor advice and I went from being a senior to a freshie all over again, which I did not like.
In addition to that, I had a very bad temper and used to talk back to my seniors which did not aid in my reputation. Well, that was the first year, things started getting better the following year onwards and my grades picked up. I have accustomed myself to the flow.
It was during my teenage years that I met my good friends whom I still keep contact to this day albeit not meeting much.
Looking back, I enjoyed my routine and studying very much. Waking up early was the hardest part of the day, which surprisingly isn’t one for me now, I have transitioned into an early riser.
This is followed by shower, preparing my breakfast and lunch for school, which mostly just includes me grabbing bread or biscuits and stuffing it in my bag and wait for my parents to send me off to school, which is usually my dad. He would send me off prior going to work.
I was truly blessed to have experience that.
In school, it was about attending classes, completing homework or assignments, gossiping with my friends or attending extra-curricular activities. However, the place I truly enjoyed spending my time was in the library. Thus, if I were to bunk class, I would lock myself inside the library and just study or read. The perks of being a librarian. Thankfully, my teacher-in-charge of the library always had my back if I were to be questioned regarding my whereabouts.
After school, my mother would be the one who usually picks me up from school and most of the time, we would eat outside. Occasionally, she does cook at home and as I am writing this reflection, I truly miss these simple heartwarming dishes.
This is then followed by me showering, completing my homework, studying, chilling, going out with my mom and getting ready for tuition or extra classes which are usually in the evenings or on alternate days.
Life was simple and predictable. I remembered attending multiple tuition classes during the week, mainly because I was bored being at home as I was not allowed to simply go out with my friends as I pleased. Thus, I looked forward to those evenings.
Holidays and weekends were the things I looked forward to as well and I enjoyed recuperating or simply helping my parents out with their chores, watching movies or TV shows, studying with music, writing and playing video games.
Surprisingly, what aid me in studying back in high school was due to video games. Perhaps it was the way I “destress” and it drives my mind.
I was not allowed to work during the holidays as my parents feared that once I get the taste of my own earnings, studying will no longer be a priority. However, my pocket money wasn’t great either. But I still got by and occasionally, my dad would slip in some money without my mom knowing just so I could enjoy a nice meal across the road with my friend.
The stress back then were focused on exams and completing homework. Occasionally, life dramas do get in the way, all part and parcel of being a “teenager”, having crushes, jealousy and bullying.
However, for the most part, I enjoyed my teenage years and looking back, I wouldn’t change a thing except to be more disciplined in my studying and to learn more.
Those years flew by rather quickly. Before I knew it, I was a senior and the stress of choosing a major or course and the university applications kicked in. Over the years, I’ve accumulated multiple fond memories with my friends as well which were a mixed of beautiful ones, silly and extremely foolish ones, which we do look back and laugh about during our meet-ups.
If you are reading this, I hope that you did enjoy your teenage years as much as I did too. If you are a teenager, do not fill your time with just studying, immerse yourself in extracurricular activities as well and discover new habits. It is the season of discovering yourself, and hopefully in years to come when you do look back and ponder, it will be filled with sweet memories as well.

just #reminiscing about the good ole days before #melbourne was over-gentrified right out if my price range (i feel like an exile, some times)
#TheMonthly (an independent publication) has a catch-up with #SophieLee (Tracy Kerrigan in #TheCastle, Tania in #Muriel’sWedding)… i knew she retreated to a world of mohterhood and manuscripts, but it seems she’s now living in London. a link to the short article is below, if you are inteested
——-
reminiscing mainly cos i always thought Sophie Lee was under-rated, under-used, typecast and cursed perhaps by her looks. saw her at #LaMama one night in 1994 in a play called Tanya and Kit. i used to see lots and lots of small productions dirt cheap — even bad shows are interesting if they are live, cos there is something magical about live theatre, and maybe the small space adds to it?
anyway, Tanya and Kit was spellbinding.
Tanya and Kit by Harry Cripps, La Mama, REVIEW, 7 May 1994
THEATRE
At La Mama, until June 1994
Reviewer: Kate Herbert around 7 May 1994
This review was published in The Melbourne Times after 7 May 1994
Two women meet in an apartment and both believe they live there. They become intimates, familiars, inseparable. Harry Cripps' Pintersque script is interesting, involving and funny. It comes to life with the two actors, Sarah Chadwick and Sophie Lee who have a great rapport on stage.
Chadwick plays Tanya, a "sleek and dangerous" woman with an unspecified executive position. Her performance is masterly, her presence magnetic, her timing and delivery impeccable. Lee has a charming ingenuousness as Kit.
This is a quirky play which works on many levels although it incorporates some improbable left-field plot elements.
