Adam Lambert really let me down with his 1st CD. Such an incredible rock voice & he bows to industry pressure for a bland pop outing. [rockportrait]

Been trying to call Hard Rock Cafe Saigon all day but can't get through. Need to reserve table for 8. Is it my phone? HRC is (8)62917595. [rockportrait]

3G seems to be working (or is it Edge?) Whatever. I'm now online 24/7. Yay. I think. [rockportrait]

Girl I helped yesterday said her song was amazing - "the best". Will it be better than the one I wrote for myself? http://yfrog.com/5digpoj [rockportrait]

Forced to buy more vacuum seal containers. Just can't keep ants out of my food no matter how well I seal the boxes. What a waste. [rockportrait]

|
Youtube doesn't seem to load videos a lot of the time in Vietnam. Fluctuating bandwidth or something else? [rockportrait]

Does your miserable, whingeing, woe-is-me song really need to be this loud? My left ear is being crushed by sound waves, my brain by dross. [rockportrait]

Twelve months ago being asked, "Wanna eat snails?" would have turned my stomach. Now, it's normal, fun, delicious & social. [rockportrait]

"The future's uncertain, the past is quite clear". Who sang that? [rockportrait]

My speaking skills are improving but talking to myself doesn't do much for my listening skills. [rockportrait]

Home-peeled pomelo is juicy and delicious, but I totally butchered it and citrus-juiced my hands to death. How on earth do the pros do it? [rockportrait]

Finding it challenging to accept the laziness of others in business. That & the common case of empty promises. Can't change it, must cope. [rockportrait]

Observed a whitening-cream abuser ride past on a scooter. For a moment I thought I was looking at Michael Jackson. No 7-11 in sight, though. [rockportrait]

Vietnam is a land of contradictions, and contradictions keep life interesting. Could be what makes it perfect for me. [rockportrait]

did you keep the number plate??
Absolutely. It’s been my web nick ever since I can remember. Doesn’t belong to anybody else, and as much as they wanted it, they can’t have it.
It will go on my next car, whenever that is.
