My favourite song of all time

Sade - By your side

This very first time I heard this song was when I watched the episode of 'Sex & the City' When Richard and Samantha had a conversation at the end of the episode and took a swim.. then credits... i loved this song since then... so soothing to the soul.

This video is very bohemian to me and i cant really tell wht the concept is for this video.. maybe surrealism?... not exactly.. but i had a totally different perspective of what the video looked like before i watched this video for the first time..

Too bad i didn't record the whole thing... and the next song too.. there was this little boy damn cute.. showing his moves... radical! This was halfway of 'sake blues'



The next video below was unfortunately only the last part of the song.. but i really wanted to take a video of the boy in black dancing.. he's a natural born dancer.. hahah.. he came in like in trance at the beginning.. and his dad dance with him for a bit too... he's got beautiful blue eyes and nice blond hair witha tail like his dad.. his mum was pretty too haha

Cooties

An american advert about cooties.... LOL



P.S. if your really don't know what cooties are... it's alright.. they're some imaginative disease these youngsters came up with by being touched by a member of the opposite sex... lol!

the little blond boy in blue is going to be a great actor one day.. so realistic... lol or maybe they really made him think he had 'em... haha

Our 1st Aniversary Dinner; Sunday 2nd December '07

'Alhambra' (pronounced ah-lump-bra) $8 a bottle
The best spanish beer... totally smooth 6.7% alchohol. not available in any other bars.
Unfortunately i didnt take any pictures of our meal there. We shared 4 tapas (size of an australian 50 cents coin) and 2 Racion (looked like entres) I remembered there was the spanish croquette$3 for 1, thinly sliced wagyu with poached eggs $17, creamed scallops $4.50 each, another was this prawn thingy with fried pork belly and this pita looking thingy too.
So he had 2 bottles of alhambra and all together it cost us $85
The food was absolutely marvelous; it was nothing like I ever tasted in my entire life.

Packing up early at 3.30am coz the rain clouds stormed in within seconds

Looking for a TAB at 4am++ on the way back from Frankston. All closed early or at 4.30am... so just went straight back home... boo

These birds damn cute coz they don't chirp, but they really sound like gossiping birds.. so many of them and were so 'bo si tiam' in the cage.
