Happy Birthday to you (from the other side of the world), Happy Birthday to you

You may I have guessed I have decided to stay for my birthday - something to tell, I turned 22 on the other side of the world - crickey!



I would like to backtrack a bit though to the April 25 6am ANZAC dawn service which we attended. Quite moving, ANZAC for anyone who doesn't know stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps and refers to soldiers landing on the Gallipoli Peninsula in Turkey on the morning of April 25, 1915 in the First World War.



The four of us stood there silent with such an amount of people that I have never seen and am unlikely ever to see again at that hour. The readings, gunshots and general eerieness of the short service was very humbling to me - even though I had no family involvement of course. The day also features an AFL match Essendon V Collingwood - cracking match as it turned out.



Anyways, to business before my birthday came the celebration of an Australian Citizen, formerly of the UK - my (sort of) cousin's mum. Cracking lady, become my mother while I have been out here I must admit - lapsing back to laziness after Uni and independence is something, I am ashamed to say, I have done but she has taken up the task without a peep.



In between that an Mothers Day (10 May for Australia), for which I sent a text and e-mail to my mum back home, I saw another band Juke Kartel, top notch I have to say - my (sort of) Cuz has an impeccible taste of music (and beer!)

For the Mother's Day we had a nice Thai meal, my birthday passed uneventfully but to celebrate I booked a trip to Sydney May 14-16 - I'll tell how that goes next time.



On a side note, the most important part of this trip - journalism work - is still consistently one day a week with the odd splattering of a day here and there at Dandy and nearer to home.



I am staying till June then. How about that?

I've always liked things like sand clocks, lava lamps, and the like to well-wishing of just spend in days of yore staring at it as a formality of catharsis. In a route, it helps me with meditation, to free stress and strain and well-grounded deem in the air nothing. That's why since I was a kid, in preference to of dolls and cars I've perpetually at ease more of such pieces like sand clocks, lava lamps, tuneful boxes etc. So I was most enchanted when I base the[url=http://www.dealtoworld.com/goods-1260-2-Laser++LED+Light+Show+Laser+Top+Gyroscope+with+Music+Effects.html] 2-Laser + LED Inconsiderable Show Laser Top Gyroscope with Music Effects[/url] from DealtoWorld.com answerable to the Toys section. It's like a melodic caddy, a spinning head, and a moonlight show all rolled into one. Which is great amusement! The gyroscope transfer spin for about a minute. The laser light manifest with accompanying music makes this gyroscope a very unequalled bauble that my friends be subjected to also been most amused with.

My dogs are also fair outr?nearly the laser gyroscope I got from DealtoWorld.com. They unceasingly follow the gyroscope as it spins, although at first they kept barking at the laser diverting dismiss show, and also because it produces music. But after they got worn it, they've stopped barking but due keep following the gyroscope whenever I start spinning it. Kids are also unbelievably amused alongside it. Off it's meet to maintain diverting toys throughout the ancestry so that you can pull out the small on while the kids are being amused or playing with it while you go provide for scoff or fall heir to changed. The gyroscope is one such fool with with this purpose.

The gyroscope I bought from DealtoWorld.com has a dragon as a pattern on it, and produces a gegenschein show with red, downcast, and unskilled colours. Steal a look at the pictures I've uploaded of the gyroscope with laser incandescence show. The music produced from the gyroscope is not that great but facts plenty to accommodate any redone visitor to the house. The gyroscope is red and negro, making it look extraordinarily coolth, and slightly arrogant with that dragon imprint.

The music luminescence show gyroscope runs on 6 LR44 batteries, which are replaceable anyway. I've also utilized this gyroscope to stagger my girlfriend during our anniversary celebration. I did the cheesy thing of decorating the hostelry latitude with roses and when I led her in, I started up the gyroscope as rise so that the laser insight expose produces a dreamed-up effect. I also had some battery operated candles so all the moonlight effects created a degree mawkish atmosphere. She loved it, not later than the custom, to my relief. I also bought the candles from DealtoWorld.com. These days it seems to be my oversight shopping locality in favour of all gifts and ideas in compensation emotional occasions.

Since Christmas is coming, this laser lamp playing gyroscope can dialect mayhap be a talented Christmas favour seeking the toddler or neutral the mollycoddle! Alternatively, the gyroscope can altogether be a nice totalling to the established Christmas decorations. I can imagine placing it just about the Christmas tree and perchance spinning it when guests arrive in the house. Looks like [url=http://www.dealtoworld.com]DealtoWorld.com[/url] is getting my business still again!
