About Me

Born in Kenya, raised in Australia. I am a Subject of the Sultan of Zanzibar, a British subject, a naturalised Australian Citizen and I have two Kiwi/Aussie children... but I don't think I have a valid passport just at the moment.

My Interests

English literature, history, education, music, dance...

Employment or Career

I am gradually working towards my BA, majoring in History and English literature as an on-and-off part-time student. In the past I have been employed in the following jobs: fruit shop assistant, waitress, Arnotts Biscuits factory worker (biscuits = cookies), Hoyts candy bar attendant, legal secretary, McDonalds front-counter (are you impressed?), student nurse, nurses aide, customer service at St George Bank: loans and enquiries, motel house-maid, cocktail waitress, house-cleaner (for Dial-an-Angel), Telecom NZ faults centre officer, bookkeeper, and self-employed office manager for high-rise window-cleaning business (the latter for about 13 years.) I resigned from my full-time job in administration at the University of Queensland to study and complete my Bachelor of Arts, majoring in Literature and History.

Music I Like

Piano, guitar, clarinet, trumpet... I mean, I like to hear other people playing them - solo, as accompaniment, in orchestras, and bands. I like music.

Books I Like

I love to read! Recently I've read several "Postmodern" novels for a literature course. I enjoy novels by Jane Austen, George Orwell, Charles Dickens, PD James, Robert Louis Stevenson, Jonathan Swift, Gerald Durrell, John Steinbeck, Rosemary Sutcliffe, E Nesbit and many others. I like reading the poems of writers like Rudyard Kipling, AB Peterson, Lewis Carroll, William Shakespeare, Oodgeroo Noonuccal, Henry Lawson, John Donne, Robert Frost, Mo Wilkinson (she's my mum!) And I like books that help me to spring-clean the brain cells: - The Peter Principle (Laurence and Hull) - The True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements (Hoffer) - Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (Pirsig) - Sway: The Irresistible Pull of Irrational Behavior (Brafman and Brafman) - The Language of God (Collins) - In Praise of Slowness: Challenging the Cult of Speed (Honore) - Dumbing Down: Outcomes-based and politically correct – the impact of the Culture Wars on our schools (Donnelly) - Endangered Minds (Healey) - The Tipping Point (Gladwell) - Coercion: Why We Listen to What “They” Say (Rushkoff) - Boys Adrift: the Five Factors Driving the Growing Epidemic of Unmotivated Boys and Underachieving Young Men (Sax) - A Thomas Jefferson Education: Teaching a Generation of Leaders for the Twenty-First Century (Van DeMille) - Eve’s Bite (Wishart)

Television I like

Crime investigation, British comedies - don't watch it very much - so I even find the adverts interesting!

Movies I like

The Mission, Out of Africa, The God's Must Be Crazy, The Constant Gardener, The Devil Wears Prada, Gone With The Wind, The Bourne Identity, The Sound of Music, Brave Heart, Spy Game, Finding Nemo, The Insider, Pulp Fiction, Along Came Polly, Love Actually, The Full Monty, Cool Runnings and all the rest! :-)

Sports Teams I like

Yeronga Devils, Brisbane Lions, the Kenyan Olympic team and the Kenya national rugby union sevens team.

Dear Sarah, thank you wholeheartedly for this touching song for a soul like mine that likes talking about love. Mireille may not talk about the agape, maybe she talks about the phileo, it does not matter, and still love is such a good thing between human beings around the world. And let me tell you, you have a very good taste of music. When I am in page I stay longer listening to those good songs.
You are doing so well with your French through that web site. It is very well translated.
Merci beaucoup et que Dieu continue de te combler;
Dido

Howdy from Texas. I've run across your name a few times in here and placed you in the 10th Corps. I finally read your profile. When you read mine, you'll understand why I made the mistake. I remember you in residence. I just got the wrong year.

So, I came in here just to see if I was correct in my memory. I have stayed through most of your songs. Great selection! I totally enjoyed listening to all of it.

I don't know if you are listening to the news about the U.S., but our president is selling us down the river. I'm beginning to look at Belize as an optional country of residence. Then, I guess there is Australia. I've often considered Australia as a place to visit. I personally think almost all other counties are 3rd world in nature. I wouldn't know where to begin to become a resident. But the time to get out of the final frontier of the U.S. is abruptly coming to an end.

Loved your pictures. I got choked up when I saw the picture of the kitchen crew in residence. I remember that part of my life with great fondness and joy. Thank you for being part of it.

Thanks for the welcome, Sarah. I like the site, especially how positive it is. It's how I remembered the best part about our ministry.
