What I’m learning: I’ve been studying Auslan (Australian Sign Language) for the past 3 years. I’m doing it part-time so it’s a slow process. But I’m loving it and I believe that all hearing people should learn this beautiful language. I plan to become an interpreter one day.

What I’m playing:  I’ve started playing the piano again and I’m learning Chopin’s Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2 in E flat major. It’s a slow process as I can’t remember how to read the Bass clef!

What I’m listening to: Tell Me Something I Don’t Know by the author of Freakonomics, Stephen Dubner. —Fascinating and equally important stuff I don’t know.

Go see: John Pilger’s newest documentary “The Coming War on China”. 

A quote I’m pondering: “I am more interested in being good than being famous.” — Annie Leibovitz
