I have checked the NRL grand final score and I fear I have made a tactical error tonight.

I can also hear the familiar sound of mahjong tiles being shuffled. Flashback to the 90s when I used to hear this every weekend at my aunty’s home in Rosebery.

Technically, she’s not experiencing the runs. But it’s Metro so I expect they will go for the pun over accuracy.

At least the Broncos scored (I don’t the Roosters tried very hard defensively on that possession).

The problem with this kind of behaviour is that there is a significant proportion of the population who can’t look at this stuff critically (including journalists lol) and you end up with people who have negative vibes about something for no particularly good reason.

I see Australian media has settled into their usual “point out the pettiest problems in new infrastructure just about to open” routine.

I am unsurprised by this. Many Americans still believe this nonsense today!

It’s very amusing that it is now easier for most Australians to visit PRC than the United States.

Yes. I believe my father is a Roosters fan so this should be fun.

Cheering for Newcastle in the rugby league grand final because I was thinking of going out tonight and it will be insufferable if the Roosters win.

Good morning all from Wangal Country. Happy rugby league grand final to all those who celebrate. I will be seeing a bit of it as I am visiting my parents and my father will be watching it. The weather deities have been benevolent as it is a gorgeous day in Sydney. Selamat hari Minggu semua orang.

Anyway, there were only a few full episodes of ‘Perfect Match’ on YouTube and it reinforced to me that heterosexuality in the 80s was very awkward.

Yes, it could work. Anyway, still laughing how he knew the format and theme song of ‘Perfect Match’ despite claiming not to remember it.

Flatmate: I don’t remember this. Flatmate: I also remember the theme song for this 80s TV show perfectly.

It’s neither of those. The sound doesn’t exist in the English language as such so it’s difficult to transliterate it. This might help.

The Ng sound also exists in southern Chinese languages hence why I am familiar with it.

I shouldn’t tease (white) people who can’t pronounce the Ng sound properly. Pronouncing “Nguyen” as “Newan” 🤣😂😭
