After our amazing wedding at Curzon Hall on the 28th of August, we were whisked off in our getaway Rolls Royce to Quay Grand on the picturesque Sydney Harbour to commence part one of our four part honeymoon. We were knackered after our amazing day but when we reached Quay Grand and escorted to our room the harbour perked us up again. We only spent 2 nights there but waking up to the Sydney Harbour view was magnificent each morning. We were tourists in our old home for a couple of days, wandering around the Opera House, drinks and lunch at Opera Bar and managed to do a bit of shopping down at Pitt Street before treating ourselves to a luscious meal at Rockpool Bar & Grill on Hunter St then topping the night off with a walk moonlit walk around Sydney Harbour. Unfortunately our stay in Sydney was short, and we didn’t have any time to catch up with anyone after the wedding but we headed back to visit the families before making our way to the airport to start part 2 of our honeymoon in Bali.

Married
On a sunny August afternoon in 2011, Anita and I were married at the magnificent Curzon Hall in Marsfield, Australia. Surrounded by family and friends, it was the perfect day for us to celebrate our love for each other. We had the most amazing day and really appreciate those who were there to celebrate it with us, especially those who travelled to be with us. It was a day that we will never forget, and we have some amazing photos to remind us of the day!

Colchester: The Second Week
A few weeks ago I posted the first part of our trip to the United Kingdom, but as I mentioned there, the main reason that we first planned the trip was to meet Anita’s Grandma and have a look around Colchester, the place her father grew up in. So after an amazing week in London doing all the touristy bits and pieces, we packed our backpacks and headed north east to Colchester.
iTunes Library Organisation & New Music for June
A little inspired after chatting to Danny Yau moments ago, I thought it was time to actually follow through on my iCal appointment to update this website with a few of the albums that have come across my desk in the last few weeks, some of which have actually been pretty awesome.
A recent check of my iTunes library had just over 30,000 tracks which equated to 82 days of music, unfortunately too much to fit onto my iPod Classic now though so i’ve had to get a bit smarter with the playlists that I use to manage my music. 30,000 tracks can be a little overwhelming to just have on shuffle as I usually find a lot of b-sides, rarities, live tracks and other random music either from clients or for party playlists popping into my ears throughout the day. While I listed to my music through iTunes daily I like to listen to the music that keeps me inspired and gets me through the day rather than some of the music that makes up my library, and the only way i’ve found to effectively manage that was to be completely anal about how my music is organised.
I’ve now got most of my ripped CD collection complete with album artwork, correct track names and genre’s (it’s this sort of stuff that makes my OCD happy!) all that’s left to do is to give them proper ratings and re-organise some of my smart playlists to better sort through the tunes. If any of you are looking to clean up your iTunes then I can recommend Tagalicious by the Little App Factory, as well as SongGenie & CoverScout by Equinux which will help getting your iTunes Library under control. For those PC users out there Tagalicious is coming soon or you could try TuneUp.
A little aside, I did get a bit excited by Steve Jobs latest Keynote for WWDC as I think iCloud is really going to bring some positives for accessing your music across multiple devices in multiple locations, not to mention iOS5 and Lion 10.7 look pretty tasty too! But why did I pay for MobileMe for all those years…
And now for some new music!
London: The First Week
Anita and I have just come back from a two week trip to London, Colchester and Paris. The main reason we planned the trip was to meet Anita’s grandma, who lives in Colchester, and because we were already sorta 1/2 way there, in Singapore, the journey was one we had set our minds to for quite a while now. Anita had never met her grandma before this trip so there was a lot to look forward to, as well as playing tourist around the streets of London and Paris.
