Observations and Virginia Woolf

July 2, 2013 By: mamagrace7122 Comments

The endless twists and turns of Internet research can land you in the most precarious of places. Sometimes enlightening. Often thought provoking.

Probably like yours, my news feeds have recently been filled with sorrow and tragic stories of violence, abuse and unimaginable harm bestowed on innocent lives.

The horrific death of Kiesha Abrahams and the most recent sad story of a boy being sexually exploited by his own adopted parents solidifies that this is indeed a cruel, heartless and dangerous world we live in.

Taking the tram from Chinatown on Sunday, there was an elderly couple in front of us who were struggling to climb on board. No family around them, they slowly shuffled with their walking sticks, unable to help each other, just trying to focus on themselves. It was heartbreaking.

Then, as they disembarked at Central station, I noticed that a younger Chinese couple helped them. At first, I thought they may have been relatives but instead simply parted ways.

As brief as it was, in the fleeting frailty of the moment, I saw it.

Love and compassion: Two invaluable elements of life that gives it purpose.

I guess right then, my faith in people restored itself a little.

There was an article I stumbled on about an online fashion magazine, The Vibe that conducted a photo shoot depicting famous female authors who had committed suicide.

A model emulating Virginia Woolf in a river holding a huge rock; another kneeling in front of an oven, representing Sylvia Plath; the images were beyond insensitive to the deeper issues of mental illness.

After an instant backlash from the public, The Vibe took down the photos and made a public apology.

Yet, in the hype of it all, I decided I wanted to watch The Hours. For no other reason than the article left me curious about Virginia Woolf and her tormented life.

Luckily, the DVD is on a weekly rental, because I haven’t been able to stop watching it since Saturday night. Where was I when it won all those Academy Awards?

While there is much heartache, anguish and pain in the movie, I’m in awe of the female characters and their inner strength.

Again, human nature showed its delicate beauty.

Is it a case of trying to see the glass half full?

Is it about trying to stay optimistic?

I don’t know.

I don’t want the tragedies we’ve seen and read about these past weeks to be left unnoticed or without our deep sympathies. But I don’t think our own reactions of anger or hostility are productive either.

In all its deception and deceit in this mixed up world, we still have it in our power to create something that’s not only secure and safe for our families, particularly our children, but also for those who happen to cross our paths.

Humans are too complex to be superseded by hate, don’t you think?

My Awesome #RedBalloonMums Glamping Adventure

June 11, 2013 By: mamagrace7131 Comments

I had always heard about “glamping.”. You know, camping but in complete comfort and luxury. But did people actually do it?

Thanks to RedBalloon, I found out that, yes! They indeed do!

Invited to take part in the #RedBalloonMums campaign, I was designated with the “extremely tough” assignment to spend a night glamour camping in Jervis Bay.

After a short 2.5 hour drive from Sydney, I turned into the dirt road that led to the camping grounds, surrounded by majestic mangroves and paperbark trees. Instantly, I knew we were in for a very special experience.

The uniquely designed tented accommodation is an eco-friendly haven. Sheltered in heavy, durable canvas solar energy provides the hot water and dim yet romantic 12 watt lighting.

Furnished with comfortable outdoor lounge chairs, the front deck welcomes you into the lavish spacious room.

Zipping the front entrance open, jaws drop when sighting the luxurious queen size bed, where a mosquito net drapes elegantly over it.

The open air bathroom completely takes my breath away. Immediately spotting the deep bathtub, I excitedly started planning my night’s agenda.

Dinner. Bath. Bed.

The original plan was to take Mr Surfer for our first night away from the twinlets. Alas, work got in the way. (You snooze, you lose, buster!)

I was so very lucky that my beloved friend, Daisy was able to join me at last minute’s notice. What was supposed to be a romantic getaway, ended up being an even better spontaneous girlfriends’ field trip. (Sssshhh…don’t tell my husband!)

Spending pre-dinner time in the cosy common area, there was the choice to play one of the board games that were sitting in the cupboards (Scrabble, anyone?) Instead, we sipped some white wine, gazing at the welcoming wood fire.

Wouldn’t you?

Squeeing with excitement throughout the entire jaunt, the highlight was undoubtedly, dinner.

Delectable entrees, gastronomic mains and desserts that made your taste buds do the happy dance, we were in foodgasmic heaven. Seriously. Long gone were the humble days of toasting marshmallows on the campfire.

I returned to the tent, looking forward to a tranquil soak in the bath. Despite the air being crisp and cool, there was nothing cold about it. Bathing in the (almost) outdoors had never been so pleasant.

With bellies full of scrumptious food, it didn’t take long for us to crash into the plush bed.

However, being the typical urbanite, the perfect darkness and the peacefulness actually woke me up a couple of times. The rustle of leaves and the thought of (shock, horror) nocturnal wildlife roaming around the tent left this city slicker a little jumpy. But of course, Daisy the country girl, stayed fast asleep.

Paperbark Camp is currently closed for winter but will reopen for the weekend of the 30^th and 31^st of August.

If you and your partner are looking for a weekend escape, a RedBalloon experience is ideal.

I’ve already started planning what the next one will be. (With Mr Surfer, of course!)

RedBalloon is offering all you awesome readers a $30 discount when spending $129 or more. Just visit www.redballoon.com.au and enter the promotional code REDMUM at the checkout.

Do you enjoy camping? Have you ever thought about going glamping? Are you scared of nocturnal wildlife too?

Wordless Wednesday – Beauty In The Desolate

June 4, 2013 By: mamagrace7113 Comments

Deeply set in the grey southern sky,

Isolated between destinations.

Billowing clouds hang low,

Longing to be touched.

Rigidly fixed in their rightful place,

Rugged rocks, rusty nails,

Robust railway tracks,

Hiding the unknown past.

Lost in secluded time,

Bound in majestic mystery,

Remaining resolute within the ruggedness,

Beauty in the desolate.

Wait a minute, Mr Postman

May 30, 2013 By: mamagrace7122 Comments

Almost from the instant our family set foot in Australia, my folks were employed by Australia Post.

Dad was as a postie riding on a rinky dink motorbike while mum sorted letters parcels in one of Canberra’s oldest post offices, looking after all the Parliament House mail. (Saucy!)

Here’s dad, looking dashing in his full postman’s uniform, chest swelling with pride.

Yet, the immature teen in me wanted to hide from the truth and wished my parents weren’t so…you know, “blue collar”.

Anyway, throughout their working life, mum and dad have stayed true to Aussie Post.

Despite switching locations a couple of times, for over 20 years, they’ve both been assigned to the same jobs at the Mail Centre, on night shift. (An easy recipe to make any married couple get stabby).

Being a destitute first year uni student, mum thought she’d do me a favour and submitted my name to work as a Christmas Casual at her workplace. Like mother, like daughter, she also had me apply for the graveyard shift.

“Night shift pay good money! Penalty rates high!” she would try to convince me in her broken English.

And lucky for her, I was accepted.

As part of training, a dozen of us sat in a small room, learning all the postcodes and suburbs of Canberra. Riveting stuff.

Then, sitting in little cubicles with rows of pigeon holes and piles of mock letters with either only the suburb or the postcode written before us, our task was to place them in the appropriate slots as quickly as possible.

The faster you were, the better.

Lightening speed mail sorters! Activate!

Having to work in a place filled with fork lifts, heavy boxes and crates, protective footwear was mandatory. We were all provided a pair of steel capped boots and gee, they were dead sexy!

We would “bundy” in at 10:00pm sharp and work through till 5:45am with 2 x 15 minute breaks and a 30 minute “lunchtime” at 2:30am.

It only took a couple of shifts for me to endure the hard slog and realize how bat shit crazy my parents were to have been doing it for years.

The delegated tasks were brutal. Mentally and physically.

Sitting in a cubicle sorting letters was so mundane, there was the fear of falling asleep at the chair.

The alternative was to on your feet for at least 2 hours sorting big, heavy parcels, tying up the mailbags when full then lugging them onto the huge crates.

Getting home as the sun cracked through the horizon made it awfully difficult to get to sleep. No matter how many blankets I draped over my bedroom windows, the summer heat would seep through, keeping me up.

Sleep deprived from nocturnal hard labour, I was a wreck.

And yet, my mum was right. The money was bloody awesome.

Although, that wasn’t enough for me to stick around.

I ended up doing the nightshift Christmas Casual gig 3 years in a row. My stints were short, approximately 8 to 12 weeks.

My parents on the other hand, are just about to hang up their steel capped boots and have just handed in their resignation, a couple of months shy of Mum’s 80^th birthday.

After these experiences, my attitude also changed.

People bag the crap out of Australia Post all the time but I’m glad I did my time there. Not only do I now appreciate what intensive manual work is about, my parents showed me what bloody tough nuts they actually are.

Racism: To expose, discuss and educate

May 28, 2013 By: mamagrace7151 Comments

I try to be careful when talking about racism.

It’s a precarious balance in objectively pointing out the lack of cultural and racial tolerance that still exists in Australia and mistakenly sounding like another disgruntled “hard done by” Asian Australian.

Last Friday night I decided to take up what this fine city had to offer and bought myself a ticket to a Sydney Writers Festival production called, “Stories Then and Now”

A line up of 6 Asian Australian storytellers, all had their riveting stories of family and lineage as well as the hard journey each of them took to make Australia their home.

Despite an almost a full auditorium, the setting was still intimate.

30 years ago, migrant stories like these would never have been of anyone’s interest. Least of all in same height of popularity it was that night.

And it’s significant moments like these, as a nation, we’re heading in the right direction towards multi-culturalism.

We’re having the open discussions, reaching understanding and acceptance of different ethnic backgrounds.

There’s now a listening, attentive audience who want to learn about and appreciate the hardships and challenges that migrant Australians undertook to get here.

Whether it be candidly or formally, we’re talking. Educating each other.

There’s lots of mixed views about last Friday night’s AFL match between Collingwood and Sydney Swans.

(Image from Zoey Martin)

There are those who feel Adam Goodes has been deservedly commended in how he handled the racial slur. Others believe that the 13 year old girl who called him an “ape” was treated too harshly by authorities and security and that she became an scapegoat.

The fact is that the incident was exposed and dealt with accordingly.

20 years ago, this wouldn’t have happened.

Because, for someone who has been racially vilified on many an occasion, I cannot stand complacency.

When I tell someone about being subjected to racism, the last thing I want to see is a shrug of the shoulders and hear the line, “Well, it happens everywhere, not just in Australia.”

That’s just not good enough. Especially when it’s happening to me in my own country.

There is the argument that what happened shouldn’t even be a racist issue because the 13 year old girl didn’t think that calling someone an “ape” was being racist.

If that is the case, then all the more reason we need to talk openly; have those difficult conversations about what racism is to someone who has experienced it.

As Zoey Martin eloquently put it:

“Let’s allow victims of racism to define what is racist and what is not.”

The more we talk about it, educate our children and ourselves, the more we can nut out the sensitivities, the intricacies of social and racial tolerance.

We’re finally at a stage where, as a developing multi-cultural nation, this is actually happening.

OMGTips from Microsoft 365 (A Giveaway)

April 7, 2013 By: mamagrace714 Comments

***Thank you to Digital Parents Collective for inviting me to the Microsoft #OMGTips event and luncheon. This post is not sponsored, however I did receive a free one year subscription of Microsoft 365 to review. All opinions are, as always, mine.***

Lately, I’ve started pondering about paid work. Nothing too drastic or in depth. Once in a while I wonder what my options are. Full time? Part time? Job share? Casual? All the thinking turns into the proverbial headache.

What I am certain of, is the desire to return to the work force in some significant capacity because within, there are the remnants of a career woman screaming to shake some business trees again.

So why don’t I? What’s stopping me?

I’ll be the first to admit that time management skills have somewhat dulled, lately.

When I used to be able to easily fill up my diary with 10 – 15 client meetings every week, I can now barely figure out what’s happening for dinner.

If there’s anything that’s terrifying me about going back to work is the fact that I would have to juggle motherhood, marriage AND having to be all profesh and stuff.

Several weeks ago, Digital Parents Collective kindly invited me to the Microsoft #OMGTips event held at swanky, The Establishment.

There were some innovative speakers, including Melissa Doyle from Channel 7’s Sunrise, celebrity chef Ben O’Donoghue, inspirational high school principal, Stacey Quince and Microsoft tech guru working mum, ex-army officer Sarah Vaughn.

If companies and organisations are encouraging employees to achieve work/life balance, there’s certainly the commitment to provide the appropriate technological tools to make it happen.

Whether it was from an entrepreneurial, educational or corporate perspective, the speakers gave valuable tips on how to make working and home life easier and super efficient with a little help from technology.

Since the event, I’ve installed Office 365 on my Mac (for other Apple users, please ensure that your Mac OS X is supporting, at the least, version 10.5.8). I’ve been extremely pleased.

In fact, dare I say, a new found sense of confidence has emerged.

I love how I can now write my posts hassle free on a Word document and link it directly to my blog.

Being able to sync my Outlook calendar with Mr Surfer’s is going to eliminate a LOT of misunderstandings and miscommunication when planning family appointments against my own schedule.

There’s even now the option to use Microsoft’s SkyDrive – cloud storage for all my files accessible from any one of my devices – even my smartphone. (You can install up to 5 devices with the one subscription of Microsoft 365).

The inner geek in me became terribly excited.

While I’m sorting out in my head and my heart what the next chapter of my career will be, I know now that I can be fully equipped and dare are I be completely clichéd, ready to take on the world.

I have one year subscriptions of Microsoft 365 to give away to 2 lucky readers!

DPCON13 – The power of mind-mapping

March 28, 2013 By: mamagrace7134 Comments

As bloggers, we’re constantly told to find our niche; to figure out what differentiates us from our peers and to keep working on how to engage our readers, ensuring they keep coming back to us.

How does one do that exactly?

Along with my duties as a DPCON13 moderator, I also had the privilege to speak during the “Charge Your Worth” session which was led by the lovely Hannah DeMilta – social media marketing extraordinaire.

I introduced the concept of Mind Mapping, which in essence is having a brain storming session with yourself.

It’s an extremely useful tool that can help gain clarity or direction for anything from a business professional document, to a university essay or a pitch to a PR company.

In regards to blogging, it can help a blogger get a little more specific on how they want to represent themselves to their readers and PR companies or brands.

How do you do it?

The most general way to start is:

– Get a blank page

– Draw a square in the middle and write in there “Why?”

– What your trying to answer is “Why should a PR company work with you?”

– Why should readers keep coming back or follow your blog?

– What makes your blog special, unique?

– What does your blog have to offer its readers and PR companies?

– Think of what you know, what you’re good at, what you’re passionate about.

– The answers can branch out into their own boxes from that “Why” question square and you’ll soon find that you’ll be able to make specific categories from your answers.

The idea is to start with a broad outlook, but then whittle those down to more specific, detailed points.

Still stuck?

Think back to a post which didn’t necessarily get high traffic but created an engaging conversation amongst your readers. Or even a post that took no time at all to write and the words just flowed naturally. What were those topics? What made it so easy to write about them? What are you most confident writing about and sharing?

Slowly, you’ll find that there are around 3 – 5 aspects that makes your blog unique.

And from this, you can build an elevator pitch, or create a self-introduction when handing your business card and networking.

Here’s an example of a general self-introduction

“Hi, I’m Grace. I blog over at With Some Grace where I write about life as a mum of twins.”

Nice. But there’s nothing there that jumps out at and gets a listener intrigued or wanting to know more.

Also, I have started my pitch with facts that are too ordinary. I haven’t mentioned anything that has engaged the listener.

So, after a bit of mind mapping, I’ve come up with:

“Hi, I’m Grace. I blog over at With Some Grace. As an Indonesian-born Australian mother of twin boys, I write about the challenges and joys in raising a bi-cultural/bi-lingual family. I’m deeply passionate about modern Australia’s developments and progress as a multi-cultural society”

A little more specific but it’s still a short statement. And hopefully, it’s a little more catchy than the first.

Doing some mind mapping can help you become a little prepared or give you that extra “ammunition” in times of networking or talking on the phone with someone who wants to know about you and your blog in the limited time given.

If you’re trying to figure out structure for your blog or want to better portray yourself to peers, PR companies and brands, I’m offering 3 of my readers help with their own mind map.

Interested?

Drop me a line.

I can’t say that it’ll be easy and straightforward but it will help you gain better perspective on where you want to take your blog.

That, I promise.

Married with a maiden name

February 19, 2013 By: mamagrace7157 Comments

It was never intended to be an act of feminism.

Maybe it was the fact that only 4 months after getting married we delved right into the overwhelming world of being first time parents of twins, leaving no time to deal with the laborious bureaucratic paperwork involved.

I just never had the urge or felt it necessary to take on my husband’s surname.

Not even when my MIL randomly asked me 6 months after our wedding (in the middle of Masterchef during commercial break, no less), what I was going to do about changing my maiden name.

(“Er, nothing…”)

Even knowing my stance on this, she still insists on sending us letters and cards addressed as “Mr and Mrs (Insert Husband’s Full First and Last Name)”.

It’s as irritating as ants crawling under my skin, but hey, I ain’t gonna change my mind.

Prior to being married, it never occurred to me that I would feel this strongly.

Actually, I was one of those girls busting to find a nice guy, with minimal baggage (at best) and a simple, common surname.

Depending on one’s interpretation, my unique maiden name could either be referred to certain female body parts or hold close sounding resemblance to a great big lake in the Andes of South America. (Take your pick).

All my life, my father’s surname has either given me grief in the school playground or quizzical looks from Motor Registry clerks or bank tellers.

Who wouldn’t want to change my name?

Then, finally the opportunity arose itself.

And for some reason, the thought of making all those fiddly adjustments; the fact that I would lose the last remains of my Indonesian identity; and all those years of effort in defending my differences and background; instincts told me not to bother.

It doesn’t mean I love my husband any less. Nor has it jeopardized the connection with my boys who indeed carry their father’s surname (Now, there’s one consolation for my MIL).

It’s not even about protecting my career and the professional reputation I built during those pre-marital days.

It’s about choice. It’s about what makes me most comfortable.

It’s about equality and mutual respect.

And correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t they the aspects of marriage, anyway?

My MIL hasn’t brought up the issue since. Maybe it was because the conversation was quickly shut down by Mr Surfer saying it was no one’s business what I decided to do.

Obviously, Mr Surfer himself doesn’t care what I do.

Hell, I could change my name to Princess Panda Poo Poo and he wouldn’t blink an eye.

As long as we’re happy and we continue our commitment to nurture and strengthen our family bond, what else matters?

Did you keep your maiden name or take your husband’s after getting married? What were your reasons? Do you think Princess Panda Poo Poo would suit me?

Instagram: To leave or not to leave?

December 19, 2012 By: mamagrace7114 Comments

Instagram knows how to shake things up, or what?

In light of the latest Terms of Service and Private Policy, I was with other countless IG enthusiasts, trying to decide whether to close my account. I was in fear of seeing random IG photos of my twins in a remote Turkish family day care advertisement.

It’s been known to happen.

However, as a response to the feedback they’ve received, IG’s co-founder, Kevin Systrom released a statement this morning to clarify their intentions.

I believe IG when they say we won’t be seeing ghastly ad banners dominating our feeds, or that our photos will be sold or used for such purposes. They’re going to be a lot more innovative than that.

Ultimately, IG is a safe and protected community. I personally think that it’s their big differentiator from other social media channels. The close knit, interactive circles that IG users have created is the value proposition that will interest potential advertisers.

Let’s say, I followed a big fashion label’s account. These retailers will want to know more about my consumer behaviour (what other fashion labels do I follow, where do I shop, etc.).

My guess is that it’s our meta data (account details, activity, profile photos) that IG’s advertisers are interested in, not necessarily our photos.

In the interim, I’m going to take some small precautions:

Make sure I have a back up of all my IG photos

Theoretically, IG photos go straight to your camera roll and saved there. However, I’ve had many instances where my photo might appear on the IG feed but it never made it to my camera roll.

It’s a tedious task, but for those missing photos, I go to the Web.sta.gram or the Instagram website and download them from there.

Also, in case you do decide to close your IG account on the 16th of January, remember that unlike Facebook where you can retrieve an inactive account, all data will be wiped clean.

So, make sure you have all your photos on file before you make the decision either way.

Watermark my photos

There’s an iTunes app called iWatermark that I just downloaded and trialed. It’s simple to use. I’ve been meaning to watermark my photos for awhile so now is a good time as any. If anything, it’s a safeguard.

Be mindful

This rule is a no-brainer and obviously it applies to all forms of social media. For instance, did you know that even if you have your privacy settings locked and loaded, once you add a hashtag to your IG photo, it becomes public?

Yet, with its lack of spammers and trolls, I have felt safe enough to be extremely carefree with what I post, particularly with photos of my children. For now, I’m thinking of toning them down. Stinky after gym selfies and IG parties on the other hand…

CollegeHumor’s Favorite Funny Videos

I don’t want to close my account. It would seriously feel like chopping off my right limb.

In using something for free, the trade off is to give up some personal details.

That’s the reality of combining social media and internet marketing.

As long as IG remaining transparent with their changes and I keep proactive in protecting my account and intellectual property, I think (for now), there’s little to worry about.

Are you going to close your account? What would you add to my list?

I got involved in local politics…and I liked it…

September 4, 2012 By: mamagrace7140 Comments

The excitement and buzz from today’s special morning tea event has extended itself into the glorious sun rays of the early afternoon.

It’s truly amazing what experiences we come across through blogging.

A little while ago, after having a casual chat about my blog and handing over a business card, an acquaintance (who I met through my running group last year) told me that she was planning to run for local council. She asked if I would be interested in helping her with the new media/marketing strategy side of her month long campaign.

Um, sure…why not ?

And while it’s all freelance and under voluntary basis, there have been a helluva lotta learnings.

Politics isn’t for everyone. Least of all me. First of all, we’ve only lived in our neighbourhood for 3 years. I didn’t know who was my mayor (let alone care) and as far as involvement with my council? Pfft.

I grumble at the unforgiving rules of the library that charged me a small fortune for overdue and subsequently, lost children’s books.

60 bucks for Maisy Mouse ?!! Seriously ??!

I get peeved off at the lack of parking facilities near our playgrounds as they’ve all been taken over by huge tourist buses offloading their over-eager (and overstaying) tourists.

Hey, I’m the resident…why don’t I get first dibs???

You know just little stuff. But ants-crawling-under-the-skin annoying.

In helping raise awareness of her independent party’s blog, Twitter and Facebook presence, I’ve grown to understand a whole range of issues that my friend’s passionately fight for, like the protection of local historical sites and better commuting and transport facilities.

She also wrote a powerful opinion piece in the SMH about the lack of representation and respect for women in local politics. (Well, seeing how our own Ms Prime Minister is treated, let’s agree it’s at federal level too).

The more I see, the more I’m inspired.

It’s been fascinating to not partake in the actual content creation, yet to be directly involved in how it’s disbursed throughout the immediate community.

Surprisingly, it seems that local politics does have the potential for your voice to be heard.

Okay, now that’s cool.

There is, however, one final confession. Having being asked to participate in something that’s (locally) extremely important has been a huge stroke to the ego (ahems).

It’s nice to have been given the trust; that my opinions and qualifications count in something as vital as someone’s representation in the public life.

She’s even introduced me to her peers and potential voters as the party’s Social Media Manager.

Hey, that’s even cooler.

At morning tea, one of the attendees came up and said, (insert pompous, posh voice) “Aren’t you her ‘web-site’ lady?”

Well, yes. Yes, I am.

Elections are on this Saturday and I know my friend’s tenacity will make sure she fights to the very end. As part of her campaigning team, I’m earnestly hoping voters will see that she’s the right person for the job.

And this is why I love blogging; the serendipity that can lead to a rare, exciting opportunity that you would have otherwise, never stumbled upon.

What unexpected adventures has blogging taken you on?
