Camry Upgrade

May 22, 2009

After 2 years of rigorous (ab)use, my gutsy old Camry has given up on me. It all started with a standard mid-week morning dash to work. The cars’ engine just wouldn’t turn. I ended up calling RACV and was in luck, with a bloke at my gate literally in 5 minutes. He had a look [...]

Chillaxed weekend

March 2, 2008

Turned out to be a totally chillaxed weekend. After 3 years of deliberation managed to actually give Vinay and Vikram a buzz and ended up having some really meaningless conversations… And the ringtone on Vicky’s phone was quite a revelation! Got smashed with buds late into Friday night before dashing to nice Indian joint for [...]

The wait is on…

October 14, 2007

… and its driving me insane! There was a dire need to move on to a better and powerful computer. For the last two of the five years that I’ve had this current PC, I’d be dreading when my now obsolete PC would cough, sputter and just give up every time I’d work with a [...]

Weekend round-up. And near disasters.

October 7, 2007

After spending the better part of last week, drawing up an incredible number of options for the Avalon International Terminal and the always therapeutic (sic) toilet detail drawings for the Domestic Terminal, I was in some dire, desperate need for some good “healing” over the weekend. Friday evening office drinkies with the usual DesignPhase suspects [...]

SkyHigh Escape!

September 22, 2007

“Get some perspective & Escape…”; that is what the web-site says about the vantage viewing point in the dense & lush Mount Dandenong ranges. Our navigator decided to throw us another challenge on the way, by deciding to take us through the “Fastest Route” to the “Top”. Which was nothing short of a winding ledge! [...]

Wii are loving it!

July 29, 2007

Its been a couple of days since we unpacked our Nintendo Wii and its been really addictive since. Its the first time ever that Meenal’s been interested in anything remotely ‘gaming/sports’ related! The first few minutes were spent getting the device connected and setting up “Mii’s”, thats’ individual profiles, for the both of us. Before we [...]

Freezing Down Under!

July 18, 2007

We’ve just had the coldest day in July in over nine years now, here in Melbourne. Sydneysiders have probably had it worse, since they got this cold weather front after about 21 years! The silver lining is the warm days forecast ahead for the next week. It’ll be hard to find a believer in global [...]

Almost there…

July 12, 2007

… with our settling within our new environs. The most important thing more than anything else, to Meenals’ disgust, would be the cable broadband. We are with the Optus ‘Advantage’ plan at the moment. I am eternally grateful to AAPT’s lousy customer care and service for leading me to find this awesome package from Optus. [...]

Moving house: Organized chaos!

June 24, 2007

The week started with a very concerted attempt by the rental property agent vehemently reference checking. And that calling spree culminated with a call to me confirming that we’ve been approved and allocated the house we had inspected before. We were to shift on a very short notice within the week. Everyone kept saying to [...]

“Was lost, am now…

June 17, 2007

…100 meters to your destination on the left”. Or so says Mr Ken on my TomTom Go 710 in-car navigator. Recently finalized on my choice after going through three devices in three weeks! My main requirements were an efficient navigational aid to supplement our newfound mobility and a decent hands-free phone answering capability. We went [...]

Our first car…

May 20, 2007

… ain’t no Mercedes. No fancy one of-course, but a 1995 Toyota Camry V6 Vienta. Nothing much to write home about… just loads of character and the fantastic quality to take us on road trips that we’d always dreamt about in the land under.
We picked it up on Saturday with a dealer in Dandenong and [...]
