    7 Ways to Handle a Hard Day

    March 6, 2019

    Reading Time: 3 Minutes Oh WHAT a turd of a week it’s been guys. It’s weeks like this one when I just wanna come home after a HARD day’s work and, to quote a scholar “make sweet, tender love with my baby, and cry in her arms until we fall asleep”. Hahahaha, that scholar makes me laugh. But truth be told, it has been a trying week. Got a couple of urgent deadlines due as well as a FLOOD of maintenance requests for multiple properties, on TOP of not sleeping well AND feeling under the weather. Boohoo to TheFrugalSamurai – he’s doing it tough. But I am determined to not…

    Christmas Karma!

    December 23, 2018

    Reading Time: 3 Minutes What’s up guys! Are we all enjoying the holidays? I hope you guys are! Cos geebers, you wouldn’t believe the week I was having – just frigging WOW. Boy am I glad to see the back of that one. It was only when a work colleague mentioned on Friday that we are in the last week until Xmas, that I looked up from my desk and realized, SHIT it’s true!

    What to do in a Bear Market (Part 2)

    November 21, 2018

    Reading Time: 3 Minutes What’s up guys! How’s the week coming along? Bit of a rollercoaster so far for your truly, work’s been pretty brutal these last couple of days. Life. Is. Hard. But it’s harder if you don’t keep going right! Fight the good fight, it’s what we all must do. Speaking of the good fight, a quick congratulatory word for my friend Bugzy, who was married to the girl of his dreams this week. The one who he can finally “play the piano and stroke my baby’s hair”. I’m just happy that he’s found the one, because if you saw him just 2 years ago… sitting by himself…

    Reading Time: 7 minutes  Hey guys! How’s it all going? Brrrr it’s so very, very wet and cold here in Old Sydney Town, you’d be forgiven to think that winter is coming with the freezing rain and icy winds. Man, I wish I was back in China! Unfortunately I am back, but not in China you see – back at work. Sigh, that’s what happens to us 9to5er’s ain’t it, we’re only allowed 4 weeks a year to venture outside and see the world.

CRAZY FROG RINGTONE CONTINUES His wife, a most nubile specimen of her sex, is awoken from her slumber. “Wha…what’s zat… get it” she says, as she kicks out under the covers – both feet hitting their target. The impact has the ferocity of a wounded bull. The young man is suddenly wide awake. He sighs to himself, pulls the covers away and turns the alarm off, shivering in the early morning chill. It is 3:30am… …Who is our intrepid hero?   Why it’s your…
