Camberwell Illustration Grad Show - My Fave...

Has to be Hyu Se - a Korean girl.
Unfortunately the room was so dark its hard to see her work here, but it was a piece which covered the whole wall, consisting of drawings of her family, displayed as a family tree, complete with kinky and very personal comments...

My first scare...

SO, a warning to all you pregnant women out there: dont over-exert yourself - pulling a ligament is no laughing matter! Lunchtime in KL and I was feeling something akin to a strain or cramp in my lower abdomen - nothing to write home about, I thought, and continued walking...
Cue two hours later, and were sitting outside Maharajalela station and I cant stand up anymore. The pain is spreading up to and past the right of my navel and becoming more intense. Dan and I abandoned our plans to find Chinatown, and headed off to Asian Heritage Row (near Medan Tuanku station) to try to find a coffee shop/bar.

WHAT A GREAT STREET!

By this stage I couldnt sit on a stool and had to recline on a sofa, getting more and more panicked about the increasing amount of pain. After one drink I just had to head home to lie down, where the pain kept increasing, even at rest.
I ended up in tears, as much out of a total lack of understanding for what was going on in my body than the pain, and had to call the doctor... at which point I totally broke down.
After a reasonable consultation, an explanation of what to look out for (in case it was premature labour) and a lot of reassurance that it was probably a strained ligament I calmed down, and we eventually made it out to a very quiet but lovely dinner.

LESSON: They dont tell you to take it easy for nothing...

want some tuna?


These are 2 adverts for a tuna brand from Thai TV... kinda creepy but appealed to me somehow... their surreal nature reminds me of the WCRS 3 tv ads. I'm really unconvinced that it would make me want to go out and buy a can of tuna, more like go and rent a David Lynch film.
