I have now listened to #lifeofashowgirl at least a hundred times and while I know some people aren’t loving it, I am having a great time. Dancing, vibing, laughing at our millennial cringe. Not a single skip for me.

On our last day in KL we went to RexKL including Book Xpress which is a viral bookstore there (and around every corner was a content creator doing full on photo shoots) Buy 4 get a 5th free so had to take these home - all for under £20!

AHHHHHH! Have the best time 🤩🤩

Devastated that Scotland hasn’t got in on the trend. Also: UHT MILO

Boost Juice defined my adolescence. It’s where we went to hang out after school. Haven’t had it in maybe 20 years. But they have it in Malaysia 😍

Inchi kabin - Nyonya fried chicken

We have been in Penang for a couple days. Did a cooking class and made Malaysian korma, roti canai and tomato rice. Then went to a Nyonya restaurant for dinner which I believe is a combo of Malay and Chinese cuisine (detail/names of dishes in alt text)🤌🏻🤌🏻

In his research Dunlosky et al (2013) identified 5 of the most robust & effective learning strategies you can use with your pupils:

1️⃣Practice testing aka retrieval practice

3️⃣interleaved practice
4️⃣Elaborative interrogation...

Prophecy reads: obstinacy is the stumbling block. Opportunities have eluded you because of your obstinate and conceited attitude, making it so very difficult for others to get along with you. Don’t stand aloof from Others if you wish to make headway in your venture. Guideline - financial pursuit: not hopeful unless be prepared to slog hard. Matrimony: no easy path to success. Litigation: avoid it if possible.

We visited Thean Hou Temple this morning and I think everyone needs to see the prophecy/blessing(?) I received 💀💀💀💀

The entrance at the base of Batu Caves. On the left you can see the 272 colourful steps you climb to reach the temples. On the right is a 42.7m tall gold statue of Hindu deity Lord Murugan

We booked our arrival airport transfer through Viator and it came with a tour to Batu Caves, a batik workshop, and Royal Selangor (this was the best - going to go back to make our own pewter souvenir at the end of the trip!)

Went to Australia Zoo for the first time. Got to pet koalas.

FUIC is a thing here, but I’m a Paul’s NT Iced Coffee girlie and can only get that in the NT 😂

Also visited Tangalooma Island Resort for the first time and it was incredible. For £80 ea we got return day ferry; $25 lunch voucher, drink voucher for the journey, 60min quad bike tour (pls enjoy that ridiculous photo) and access to resort pools/beach. While swimming, dolphins swam with us 😭😭

Home in Aus visiting family for a week or so. Obviously had to cram in all the Australian delicacies (lemon lime & bitters; wedges sour cream & sweet chilli; snag; Chinese honey chicken done the way I like it)

Thank you! Several decades of work left no doubt 🤣 just need to be a wealthy heiress in the 19th C who sits around embroidering and yapping all day really 😌🤣

Progress on the second row of my MAMMOTH cross stitch project. Now to put her aside while we’re abroad for a few weeks 🥳🥳

TWO MONTHS after a baby she’s pregnant again. That poor woman. Means she was barely given time to recover from birth before having sex again too!

And I have a Taylor Swift song for each of them 🤣

I have used metallic thread once and I very quickly lost the will to live

But it’s going to be so pretty 😍😍

I’m currently devouring Pachinko, then have Hell Bent lined up!

Yeah I didn’t mind book 1, but def predictable and execution was a little immature (in terms of writing style not being super polished). Not read books 2/3 as a result - so if you didn’t love it, I’d say there’s better books out there to spend your time with!

Finished the book - loved it. Will add Ares to the watch list!

Didn’t know there was a sequel!! I’ve just started it - about 150 pages in but it’s definitely my vibe. Got it after enjoying The Familiar by the same author so I have high hopes.

1. "Yeah, Ben AI might well be awful but it's coming and we can't stop it so we have to find ways it works for us."

No. Actually we don't.

We could quite easily say AI is an age inappropriate and developmentally dangerous technology and schools should lock it out.

That sounds like an incredible scheme of work!!

I like design J, OR if you can have it say “ex Libris” then the ‘decorative initials’ option
