Nice.

“A man walks down the street
He says why am I soft in the middle now
Why am I soft in the middle
The rest of my life is so hard”
-You Can Call Me Al by Paul Simon

How good are those lyrics for the first phrase of a song? I love ’em. 😛

Whilst shopping on Monday I decided that I wanted some raspberries. I like to keep a packet of raspberries in the freezer to mix with things for dessert or breakfast. I went to the appropriate section of the freezer and reached for my usual brand, the price was $2 more than I was expecting so I paused, and as I did I noticed a new brand, they came in a reclosable punnet and there was 50g more for $2 less than my usual brand. It was a nice spot and I think that the raspberries are of better/more consistent quality too. So I’ve been having muesli raspberries and yoghurt for breakfast – very yummy!

Siew at work bought me an umbrella in China, similar to one that she owns that I commented on. It’s very pretty, which is cool, I am so over my flimsy black umbrella. It was a gift too, she didn’t want me to pay… I think I might use it to take some photos soon… I’ve been lacking inspiration in that area.

Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Title Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Titles! I was a sub for @jamesxuereb.me in the Blue Flame Dragons thanks to his sprained ankle; we won first round and came fourth overall!
I did a bunch of judging and officiating, which was really good.
I didn’t place in my individual events, but had a very fun final round of kumite (sparring).
