yellow may not be so mellow, after all. not an evo coloured one, at least. shiver the cold and withstand beautiful stings. half pipes and rambles that surge an adrenaline, and we fly across white. lying to boost a confidence. (it worked). pee-in-the-snow trademarks (“hey, hey! i can sign my name!”), how-romantic! crashes and traipsing […]

my rising pilot friend just promised me a scenic trip over great ocean road once he gets his official license. how rip roaring awesome is that? the perks of having high-flying (pun intended) friends, eh? and to think this was the same dude who used to sit oh-so-unassumingly opposite me in bm tuition eight years ago. […]

it’s the trudge of tried and tested |                            to know and to believe | mustard-hope | better is one day in your courts |                                                                         dreams that evoke trust | you’d never explain, because there is no need |                                          be still | and know |                                     breathe |                                            and fall f r e […]

so i am now known as steph alco aurous. *groan* i just really (really, really, really) like moscato, ok? i need to stop hanging out so often with jt and the mafia loo man. they tarnish my reputation lar. i can’t wait for theheroacrossthestreet to come back so they can torture tease him and leave me […]

that day the other day trade secrets were skillfully extricated; cookie trails and horse-drawn carriages were negotiated; life-sized hints were dropped but didn’t quite get picked up on; re-enactions were gleefully requested; silly smiles and shuffling feet were in abundance; that day today i don’t know about the shuffling feet, but the silly smiles are still in […]

so last night was a blast, even if we did traipse about the city for a good half hour begging for tables. and my trampoline sorbet concoction was yummy beyond yummy. lemon, blood orange and mango, yo! musing over pictures and crazy videos with people you’ve grown to love and expect to be a part of […]

everything, everything. when my days are filled to overflowing with good company; when absence makes the heart grow fonder; when thinking of you involuntarily conjurs up goofy smiles; when all is just a little right with the world. i feel like i’ve been injected with an intravenous happy shot. whoever said winter was dreary? in […]

i’m glad i didn’t trust the niggling thought in my head. because then, i’d never have known the sweetness of the effort. :) *** received a month-early birthday wish the other day from a certain ejoos all the way from sydney. the dear boy sounded so excited i almost didn’t have the heart to tell him my birthday wasn’t till another month. […]

designed to fade and fringe. stained-glass musings which curl like blue smoke and leave indefinite indentations. when the blacks and whites blur to grey and grease-smudged windows give you hope. when turning makes you bolder and leaning Forward leads you Toward. would it be all that and even more than you think. stretch and reach for iridescence. you’ll know. […]

the brotherfromanothermother turns twenty two!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEN BEN! you and me, bro? we come a long way i.e of the since-you-were-born-oh-my-goodness-it-has-been-twenty-two-years variety. i’d regail people with stories of you as a kid, but you have too much proof (read: blackmail footage) of ME so i’ll quietly slink away and let you enjoy your day. :) have […]

there’s nothing quite like four girly pals catching up over ice cream and mocha ala kokoblack style. to three of my longest standing girl friends here in melbourne: i love you all. we’ve been through so much together in both good times and bad. i like that though we lead such separate lives, we still manage to pick up […]

football text frenzy funnies/frustrations, smiley reminders and bedtime send offs. ad hoc time zones but still inandout of each other’s heads. i am countingdownthedays. *** fie: world cup ends next sunday *cue for mournful and downcast face* what are we gonna do after that?? jt: AFL!! fie: stupid or what. pfftt… we better start planning something real soon to fill […]
