Stirling HoR Results

November 25, 2007

I finished 5th of 9 candidates in the Stirling HoR election.
Not a bad result on the face of it, but considering I had first position on the poll (and the “Donkey Vote” that goes with it), it’s probably not so impressive.
I did outpoll both Family First and One Nation though, which is nice.

Full breakdown is [...]

Sam Goes To Canberra

October 31, 2007

I am standing in the seat of Stirling for the LDP.
All political blogging will take place at my campaign site for the near future.
Stupid Videos and Asian Girls in Bikinis will remain here.

Hello Darklings

April 14, 2007

As most of you are probably already aware, I am in Thailand.
Blogging came to an abrupt halt on here when I decided to try out World of Warcraft and it promptly consumed my life for a few weeks. Hopefully things will be back to normal when I get back to Australia in May.

T.T

February 12, 2007

One of the unfortunate facts of life for those of us who like Asian girls is that Asian parents are not usually all that keen on the idea of their daughter dating a foreigner. So it’s usually a well-kept secret. And when the secret gets out, the shit hits the fan:
When I come to Korea [...]

Ni Hao

This is apparently my name in Chinese. I thought it would be a lot shorter, only being 2 syllables and all.

Best. Christmas. Ever.

December 27, 2006

I must have been really good this year because Father Christmas bought me just what I always wanted. A small party on a friend’s farm was the plan for Christmas eve, but the plan quickly changed when the girls mentioned that the next house down the road had a group of backpackers staying there who [...]

Snatching Victory

December 18, 2006

Our cricket match on Saturday was the scene for one of the greatest comebacks in suburban cricket history. Chasing 191, we came back from 6/66 to win by 1 wicket.
Take special note of #11, A. Ahmed, who came out with 39 runs required for the last wicket and made 33 not out. In his first [...]

Reverse Agony Aunt #2

December 13, 2006

I need to buy a new (used) car. I am planning to spend about $2,000 to $3,000 on this car. Unfortunately the only thing I know about cars is that the one I currently have is buggered.
Any car-knowing people shall now please advise me what would be the best kind of car I could get [...]

The End Of Beerstory

November 13, 2006

Over the life of this blog I have written a lot of posts about the pitiful state of the nightlife scene in Perth. Unfortunately, due to my server migration, most of those posts are still languishing in my archives on my hard drive waiting to be uploaded, so they aren’t readable at the moment.
In any [...]

Scales Of Justice Update

November 9, 2006

I pled (plead?) guilty, received a $250 fine, $55 court costs and a spent conviction for my trouble.
Lesson learned: Cops can do whatever they want whenever they want.
Cost of lesson: $405.
Key Quote by Magistrate: “I don’t need to see the character references, the nature of the offense is such that they aren’t necessary”.
In other words, [...]
