What’s up guys! Boy, am I flushed ladies and gentlemen. Just finished an intense weekend running around chasing after underage boys and girls. SAY WHAT?!!! No, no nothing malicious or criminal. Nothing like that, let me explain. I’m a level 4 Football (soccer) Federation Australia referee (the lowest level but a level nonetheless!) What that means is that on weekends, when the football season is on – I’m usually shivering my butt off on some wet and cold field early in the morning trying to bring some order amidst the chaos. Harder than it sounds amigos, hard than it sounds. And not just one game too… usually I’m there for…

The Rich Exercise, Do You?
What’s up Frugal Samuraites, hoping everyone’s having a great Easter! Four days off people – that’s like school holidays for adults! I tell you what, judging by my social media feeds, seems like most people used this opportunity to get out of town and explore this great country of ours. MrsFrugalSamurai and I didn’t have any grand plans or travel itineraries, rather we used this time to catch up with family and friends over good food and good wine. Couple of nights ago we caught up with some friends and had a blow-your-mind, tip top meal over at a local restuarant. “Oooo, this dish tastes amazing” “Yep, I wish I knew…

Can You Handle Three Jobs At Your Employer?
“Hey TheFrugalSamurai – can you do this soon as you can, right now?” Whoa, we’re not in Kansas anymore ladies and gentlemen. If there was any indication that we are back to the grind, and away from the hedonism of South East Asia – the delivery and intonation of that message from the big boss on Monday morning brought me straight back to Earth. Mind you, when I woke up – I was tempted to take the greatest of Australian traditions and “pull the sickie” – which essentially means you call your boss on Monday morning to feign a life-threatening illness, obtain a miraculous recovery by Monday afternoon and walk…

Travelling, Just Do It!
Scene: Airport lounge. Time: Morning peak hour. Camera pans to a lone individual hunched over his laptop amidst the noise and chaos of Kuala Lumpur International Airport… he starts to type… Oh Wooooow! Ladies and Gentlemen, to say that this trip has been an epic adventure would not be justifiable in terms of epic adventures. I don’t think I’ve ever had one of these holidays for a long, long time. Seriously, need another holiday just to recover from this trip – somewhere which allows me to sit on a beach and pretend to be comatose for 8 hours at a time. The eye-opening encounters and unique experiences in the past…

Kuala Lumpur (Second Leg)
What’s up guys! It’s me again – and this time I’m in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It’s the second and final leg of my SEA (South East Asia) trip with my friends and we’ve just landed in KL. I’m really looking forward to some more low-key adventures here in Malaysia because Thailand was just an assault on the senses. The noise, people, lights, traffic, smells of Bangkok hits you like a tsunami. So it’s with a lot of agreement that we decided to have more of R&R (rest and relaxation) here in KL. Fine by me! Been here less than a day but there are many things I’ve noticed about KL……
