un pensamiento para ti...

"He aprendido que todo el mundo quiere vivir en la cima de la montaña, sin saber que la verdadera felicidad está en la forma de subir la escarpada. He aprendido que cuando un recién nacido aprieta con su pequeño puño, por vez primera, el dedo de su padre, lo tiene atrapado para siempre. He aprendido que un hombre sólo tiene derecho a mirar a otro hacia abajo, cuando ha de ayudarle a levantarse..."

~ Gabriel Garcia Marquez

russell peters

I'm not sure if you have heard about Russell Peters, but he has been one of my favourite stand-up comedians since my friend introduced me to his comedy last year. Don't be fooled by the name though... Russell Peters is in fact an Indian-Canadian, whose parents were born and bred in India but adopted Anglo names. Because of this heritage, Russell Peter's claim to fame was often his insightful and very funny observations of cultural differences and stereotypes. One of his most famous jokes is this:

Somebody gonna get hurt real bad.... Somebody.


Recently found this political satire with him which was brilliant! Most likely from years ago with the devastating tsunami and frustrating politcal agendas regarding aid relief.

That must be one helluva wave...

I think the 1st video was funny and so true but the 2nd video on the tsunami was done in poor taste. Not funny.

Hi Pearl,

I hope that you are getting used to Melbourne by now. Watch it, you might get too used to it and plan to make it your permanent home! :)

(Not sure if you read comments from your old archives, but I left you a comment on your Feb 23/2009 post and 2 comments on your Oct 13/2007 post.)

FYI, it doesn't look like the Search option and the Home/About/Archives button at the top right corner of your page is working.

Hi MY! Indeed, all the tabs above don't actually work. Problem is, I don't know how to activate them too. You'll probably need to navigate through the sidebar.. :P

Well, all I can say is that I'm settling in Melbourne, can't wait to go home though!
