All Blacks Haka

What a Rugby World Cup final it was! When the All Blacks won, people were jumping around, high-fiving each other on streets, singing, dancing... ohh the horn honking cars! I've never heard so much honking in Auckland!

Here is the All Blacks Haka from the momentous day:

Famous Five!

I've been a Famous Five fan since I first started reading them in primary school. I always wanted to be George! Sometimes, when I'm designing late at night (especially as due dates loom near), I keep playing some episodes of the Famous Five in the background. I suppose it's my guilty pleasure. But the voices make me feel less lonely. Haha. And I can brush up on my English accent ;)

p.s.: Just this week I happened to come across a short clip (can't embed here, sorry!) from a version that was recorded in 1957! Wow!
