In an ocean of childish, formulaic rubbish he was very different, very special and a gifted auteur

Visited the National Portrait Gallery (of Australia) yesterday. There was only one Asian face/portrait on exhibition through the public galleries. The Gallery claims “to reflect the face of Australia.” Unbelievable?!? #Nationalportraitgallery #AsianAustralians

After many years I’ve finally, finally read this work by Gerald Murnane. What a masterpiece it is: without qualification, the most substantial Australian novel I’ve ever read. Broadly accepted as Australia’s most likely for a Nobel Literature Prize #Australianlierature #Writing #Novels

Five days into the new year and I’ve read my first novel which is the good news. The bad news is realising it’s been forty years since I first read it. Faaarrkkk 😵‍💫

Visited the National Gallery of Australia today. Good to see some honesty on stolen art from SEAsia and it’s repatriation

Yeo’s Malaysia Curry Sauce!
It’s a can full of flavour to assist every lazy Asian cook and easily available. You could add coconut milk but instead I use chicken and add potatoes and lots of coriander with your choice of veg 🥳

I’m not interested in major gardening projects these days but still enjoy what you can get out of potted plants ✅ Keep it simple 😏

It’s New Year’s Eve. It was a Xmas gift. I’ve worked hard in different ways and deserve it. It’s a magical, multicultural blend. I really wish I was cracking it somewhere on the Vietnamese central coast. All the best for the coming year folks and keep striving 🕺🏻🥃
