The sisters and I took Kaylin to Jungle Gym at Bangsar Shopping Centre the other day. It was Kaylin’s third time, my sisters’ first. Kaylin was pretty excited to hear she was going – I’d never seen her come down the stairs so fast before – but once we were inside, I have to say, [...]
Yesterday night, on a whim, Bec, Josh and I ditched our plans for a movie and went to a fish spa after dinner. It was my first time, Josh’s too, but looking at Bec you’d think it was her first. She makes this really weird high-pitched sound into her towel when she first puts [...]
Jessie and Josh came over today and Jessie made this. I’d bought one of those DIY Plaster of Paris sets from Toys R Us to make Christmas pressies with and this little guy got left over. Jessie says I can keep him (yes, it’s a him). And she wants you to know that [...]
Guitar Hero!
Jessie just turned 21 and I haven’t really spent time with her since she got back early December so this was heaps fun. We made a real date of it: Guitar Hero, dinner and a movie. Then I’ll have to take them home because she’s still not allowed to take the car [...]
My brother-in-law is discovering the joys of teenage infatuations, not that he would ever admit it. One morning over breakfast while we were in London…
Me: Hey, did you want to get the necklace I bought the other day for your girlfriend?
Bro: [Careful pause] Mummy likes the necklace. It’s for… her friend. I don’t [...]
My youngest sister Jessie is currently studying in Melbourne to become a vet. She’s loved animals for as long as I can remember, even though she doesn’t seem to have much luck with them.
Since beginning her course, part of which involves placement work in farms, she’s fallen off a horse, been kicked by another [...]
My brother-in-law has been grounded for a week. I’m not sure exactly what his infractions were, but he’s also been stripped of mobile phone, Internet and television privileges. He’s calling it house arrest and has pasted a sign on his bedroom door in protest. I support my parents-in-law’s decision a hundred percent. So does Y. [...]
If there was one person who could have become a great actor and made the rest of us famous, it would have been Bec. Of the four of us siblings, she’s definitely the most melodramatic, by far the most intense, and she can actually act – I’ve seen her. Plus, being an actor would [...]
Less than six hours before we officially celebrate New Year’s Eve. In case it wasn’t blindingly obvious, I can’t wait for the long weekend. Interesting updates for the week (not that you might be interested) include:
1. My youngest sister has gotten a tattoo. She is the first in our family to have one. My [...]
One fine day last week, I decided to introduce Knock-knock jokes to my siblings. While Jessie rolled her eyes and declared me corny (can you believe it? The creator of Jessie’s Cornies from weeks past said I was corny!), Josh has since taken a liking to them, and seems to have quite a talent [...]
