I got inspired by a 4 year old!

I know … I know … I can’t believe I have stalled on my blog as well … SO BAD!!!

But I have been thinking hard where/how I should go with this journey, should I do a gear review site, instructional photography site, e-com site ... hmmm ...Possibly?

Over the last year, a lot has happened. Our relocation to Hong Kong, protests, destruction; physically and culturally, The Virus, along with Jello’s operation and lack of work in the city right now. I had plenty of time to test and toy around with different material to write about.

Whilst digging through the memory bank for ideas, this popped into my head …

When we first moved to Australia in 1989/90, I didn’t speak any English. My parents got me to learn by pronouncing and writing out lyrics to the CDs I was listening to at the time.

Michael Jackson’s BAD was the first CD I transcribed the whole album to, I tell ya … it was not easy pronouncing “Shhhhhuum’On!!!! <------ This was actually how I wrote it … HAHAHAHA!!!

Come think of it, this is probably why my written structure is so bad, and my ability to write a complete well-structured thought doesn’t come easy to me. I tried Human Resources before becoming a photographer, but I failed so badly at reporting, it drove me nutz and said enough was enough!!!

But I tell ya … “What a job my Mum did, and thanks Dad for all those CDs .. HAHAH!”

So … I have been thinking about this new journey I am taking with this blogging thing. It got me thinking …

One day in the 90’s … My dad brought home an IBM 256 personal computer when we were in school, you know the one with the thick chunky, clackity-clack cream coloured keyboard, and a square shaped one button mouse. This was the machine I ‘wrote’ my lyrics out with.

I watched Doogie and just like him, I also wrote a summary of my day on this computer for a better part of 3-4 years. I have no idea what happened to this computer and someone prob read these entries and thought … what a bloody loser … HAHAHAH!!!

OH .. OH .. OH .. and also played ‘Leisure Suit Larry’ religiously … …

If you know it, you know what it means HAHAH … Anyways …

My sister was back in Hong Kong for 3 weeks, during this Chinese New Year with her 2 kids. Just so happens, it was also the start of this monster virus, so we ended mostly staying indoors. You know what happens to a locked up 4 year old right!?!

Got to say … if anyone want some creative ways to keep your kids occupied creatively, you got to speak with my sister!

As we live in different parts of the world, it was extremely rare to be able to spend so much time with them … so closely.

Getting to observe, take pictures and spend time as a family all together was a rare occurrence.

But this entry is talking about my little God Son.

I was reminded what it was like to be a child again, learning and pushing their invisible barriers further everyday. They get to test their limits, pushing mine, their innocent and at times; devilish cheeky smiles of pure emotions, their no bull shit-ness … it made me missed being a kid again.

We spent hours playing and talking about some of the most random things in his invisible castle and at times I was left alone by myself as he was “busy with his bizness!”

All this time together made me think … What if …

I treated this blog as a daily journal? like I used to do back in the day, maybe this is a way to get in touch with my inner child as well.

It won’t be a daily thing, that’s for sure. But it seems like a great place to start writing again.

I guess this post is to let everyone know that this blog is still alive and kicking, and I am now excited about my next post … Hopefully you will too!

As always … Like, Share & Comment!

It will help to turn this into something special … 🤞 Fingers Crossed!
