Went with Jason, Niggy and Johnson to this years Vietnamnese New Year Festival, also known as Tết Nguyên Đán. Lot’s of garlic beef balls, sugar cane drink and beef with lotus leaf skewers. After the night out, the breath was incredibly garlic flavoured and you really had to brush your teeth 5 times before it goes away.

I have to admit I’ve been pretty slack with keeping up to date but have been busy settling into my new work. On the even of Australia day, we decided do the most Asian thing and go Karaoke. Well Miriam’s sister decided anyway.

This is what’s rocking on my iTunes now.

It’s not unsettling, noisy or loud. It’s mellow, well thought-out and just a little bit catchy. I would recommend it.

I like indie music.

Had the opportunity to shoot 2 friends, that recently got engaged. More to come later. Some more preview shots here.

One of my good friends Amanda has started the year with a new, or shall I say, new, but old environment in Toowoomba as part of her rural rotation for Medicine.

This year, as part of my ultimate goal is to stay a bit more organised than last year. I am not talking about an overall revamp, but I want to be less forgetful and have the information I want around me when I need it.

A lot of wisdom here. Last few years I have taken a lot of shots just as a diary. Probably not as much as this guy!

I’ve tested his iPhone application. I find it pretty slow, and the fact that the icons to apply the effects have no text, it takes some time to get used to. Having said that, I only own an iPhone 3G and not a 3GS so there maybe a bit of a speed difference there.
