First things first; the box, and the title, has nothing to do with anything. I just like blue boxes.
Secondly, I now have a summer hat, a vintage suitcase, and a leather satchel! Summer hats are cool.
Lastly, i've set up this blog to keep my family, friend(s?) and any other interested parties updated about my very own Odyssey to Kathmandu, Nepal. You know, minus the seductive demi-goddesses and eight-legged, man-eating monsters. I'm still holding out for a cyclops though.
For those of you who don't know, me and Dennis the Menace (not the real one though, my cousin Denny) are going out to Nepal, where Denny's sister/my cousin Cindy is based, to do abit of volunteering. We're going to be working at a children's home and a secondary school there. Hopefully we'll be of use and help out in any little way we can. Of course, there will be fun and games along the way. I'm expecting alot of 'I Spy' and 'Who Am I?' - endless family fun. Last time the three of us were together we did our own rendition of Bon Iver's 'Skinny Love'. One on-looker commented that 'it was majestic, mesmerising, and everything anyone could ever want in music. Absolutely beautiful.' Anyone who has heard me sing will know just how proud of my voice I am. If you were lucky enough to hear me and my housemates sing 'YMCA' and 'Your Song' at ULU's Thursday night karaoke two weeks ago, then you will understand. I eagerly anticipate more of the same.
But don't worry, the gloating's over. Please do have the occasional look, hopefully I will be making weekly updates about what i'm/we're doing out there with the occasional off-the-cuff pointless prose. Anywho.....
To Nepal and beyond!
P.S. don't forget guys, it's Meaty Monday. Bon appetite!
P.P.S. I can't sing.
