Today I’d like to talk to you about my favourite verb – be. It is Thursday evening and I’m feeling fried. I work too much. And I can’t understand people who say they work 70 hours a week. I don’t know how this is possible. Whatever happened to legalising the 4 day weekend? What happened …

the freedom inside
Today’s the day! The day is here – the day I change for good! Have you ever woken up to these thoughts? Or gone to sleep wishing that you’d wake up an overnight success story? No, me neither. Awkward. Okay, let me sing you a different tune… The only ones for me are the mad …
Warning- this blog post contains nudity
Let’s talk about something serious here people…. Switzerland and Sweden – do you really know the difference? This is how the conversation goes 99% of the time when a Swiss person encounters a foreigner elsewhere in the world. Guy : So where are you from? Martin : Switzerland Guy : Ahh that’s where the hot …
great expectations
In case y’all don’t know too much about Switzerland, besides what can be gathered from a Lindt packet, let me just tell you that she is not just a pretty face. This is a land of contradiction and controversy. Practicality, progressiveness and tradition sit side by side, somewhat harmoniously – just like the three languages …
My friend Patience
Whoever said patience is a virtue is a freaking genius. Don’t run after the bus, let the bus come to you. There’s a lot we can learn about life from public transport. And right now it seems that waiting to receive what I want is a bit like waiting for the train in India. The train will come – …
Lessons from Mum on getting shit done
Correct me if I’m wrong, but one of the most amazing feelings out there is that when we have finished doing something that we really didn’t want to do. I should know – I’ve just finished marking four 12,000 word dissertations that every fiber of my being didn’t want to experience. Okay there was a tiny …
This is not just another blog post about pumpkin…
There are some people who may argue that there are better things in life than roast pumpkin, but I am not one of them. My list of number ones is long, but Pumpkin my dear, you deserve your place amongst the best. There are also some people who say, “I was so busy, I forgot …

Quality Control
Oh how I have suffered from monkey brain this evening! When I woke up this morning I knew today was the day to write a blog post and I had in my mind to write about new friends. Then the day happened and as usual I kept being pulled to and fro by my monkey …
I saw you crying….
…I saw you crying at the discotheque… Oh yes, I may mock those crazy Europeans with their far-out summer anthems, but if truth be told, if anyone was crying at the discotheque back in 2001, it’d probably have been me. You see, I’ve always found a friend in my tears. A good cry just makes …
The Crack
So hands up, who of y’all out there has an i-phone? (I’ll pretend I can hear more than a pin dropping). So i-phone owners, I’m speaking directly to you when I say… Do you ever feel like you’re on crack? I mean, this is how I imagine it to be. So here I go, speaking …
