Symphony

those martha ones are stunning, i [love] this one;

I'm the same as RR1 - I came here because of the recommendations thread and wow for the second time today, boy am i glad that I followed that link. this was magical. the original KK get together was before my time of seriously paying attention to H&A, so for me, this read more like a short story in a book than a take on home and away ... and all i can say is, i wish there was more to it - like a whole novel! Love that I read this, and discovered your writings now!

jealous of your colouring skills. i need to learn! especially love this one;

i only realised now how much i've missed reading your stories, and can i just say honestly, i pale in comparasion to you as a writer!!! can you please come up with something like twilight or another famous series and publish it so i can fawn over your books and read them every night? seriously? now i've got to go and read backwards, should have me occupied the next few hours!!

I'm so glad that Angelo is finally back on our screens - I'd been missing him. My heart is going out to him for all that hatred he's experiencing, and am hoping that will all disapparate soon - obviously their anger is currently directed in a condoning manner but ... obviously he's been cleared in a way, and so - well, I'm just looking forward to that time around the corner when the 'real' Angelo returns. And to think he used to get under my skin, I thought he was the biggest creep alive

Luke is such an adorable pup, you just want to give him a hug - he's like David JR in that respect As an actor? I think he's doing a great job - he certainly managed to get under everyone's skin at the start [mine included] and naturally we should all remain iffy of him at this stage, I don't think he's being entirely honest with Nicole...! But, their friendship is cute, and .... considering his past and her past, they could make a good team!

On the two plane journeys yesterday I watched; The Aristocats Bolt - very good! Marley & Me - better second time round I admit Twilight - better second time round too! i know i watched another but cant place it

^ haha yeah, thanks it was awesome ... looking back, i'm like .. 'how was i not terrified' Just got this email - it skipped my spam filters, so I'm impressed. Never had one before though I've heard of others getting them!!! Dear Friend, An Iraqi named Haider Hanoon,a business man made a numbered fixed deposit of (346,736,899.68 HKD) for 18 calendar months, this is valued to Fourty Four million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only in my branch. Upon maturity several notices was sent to him, even during the war, six years ago (2003). Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came from him. We later found out that Abdullah Al-Hakim Rashid and his family had been killed during the war in Gunfire that hit their home at Mukaradeeb where his personal oil well was. My proposal to you is that I prepared to front you as the sole beneficiary of my deceased client so that I can instruct HANG SENG BANK to release the deposit to you as the closest surviving relation. Upon receipt of the deposit, I am prepared to share the money with you in half 50/50 percentage. If you are interested do send me your full names, current home address, phone number, your occupation to this email account : (peter.wong2005@yahoo.com.hk) Your earliest reply will be appreciated. Yours Sincerely, Mr.Peter Wong E-mail:peter.wong2005@yahoo.com.hk Hilarious, how dumb do they think i am

i'm unimpressed. they're in love with each other after knowing each other for a week? gimme a break thanks.

He's ripping at the heartstrings at the moment, I'm surprised that this hasn't been mentioned yet.

I'm hating the Aden storyline at the moment but ... Todd's doing a fabulous job of making me hate him, which took some doing

Jess is taking my breath away at the moment ... seirously ...she's unreal. I've watched about 30 episodes in the past three days, trying to catch up with myself [well, with australia] and Jess has just completely outdone herself - her acting during the Aden storyline was amazing enough but now -! And at last it's put a stop to all the complainers that she was anorexic etc >.<

I love that people are turning over to Xavier now Although I do want to ask; do people like him more because of how his character is with Brendan, but still think he's not a good actor [which nearly everyone seemed to be saying before ] or do they think his acting is better now just because they like his storylines? Hope that makes sense. As always, think Xavier is going from strength to strength - his scenes with Ruby are building in chemistry, but I love the friendship vibe that David is giving off as well - when they're hanging out, it's not always full on which is great. And, of course with Brendan - that's just brilliant. I'd love to be a fly on the wall when they started filming those scenes; say they had great craic

I think Kain's doing a wonderful job; seriously. He's entirely reminding me of the lad from the film Black Balloon, which I thought was spot on acting - and thinking the same for Brendan. Loving his storyline; Kain acting is truly inspiring to watch

i love how you write; i'm looking forward to seeing how this folds out; i felt like i was reading a novel

a BABY? Oh man i so need to catch up on this fic, on Friday, I promise I"ll sit down and read it

^ it's definitely worth a visit Cerise, I only wish we had more money so we could do all the programs we offered, like playing with baby cubs!! Cicerid; South-East Asia is a marvelous place, truly. I'm heading to Melbourne on Tuesday for a week, then Brisbane for a few days, Sydney for two days and then home. Glad to be going back to Oz, love it there! KirstyE; they were chained up for the photos only, it being too dangerous for them to not be chained up when they were literally on people. Once the photo session was over, all the chains were removed and they were free in the area to sleep, prowl, swim, play, etc This place, from what I saw was very much cruelty-free.

I've had a couple of questions about my tiger experience today, so though General Chat was probably a good place to share pictures from the day. We went to Kanchanaburi, outside Bangkok, where the Bridge over the river Kwai is, and then to a Tiger Temple near there. The story of the Tiger Temple is that the monks were given a baby tiger back in Feb 1999 who had been supposed to be 'killed and stuffed' but the man given the job by his wealthy employer, got the cub to the monks instead. They cared for it, but it died in July 1999. However, Kanchanaburi runs alongside the Burma border, where lots of poaching goes on - the Thais get big money for the bodies of tigers, but usually leave cubs to fend for themselves in the jungle. When people heard about the first tiger cub incident, they started bringing the monks tiger cubs that they found ... and so it continued. Nowadays, the temple has like 15 full grown tigers, and 8 cubs. All were reared among humans, and so 'imprinted' on them; they do not attack. The temple has been open ten years now, and only ever had one attack from the tigers. I don't believe they're drugged, as we saw them pouncing at trees, prowling, and running around. It's just so very hot, and, in the canyon where they all were, their handlers are with the tourists at all times, leading them by the hand from tiger to tiger. Now, the temple has the tigers, a leopard [kept in a large 'natural habitat styled' cage because she's not 100% trustworthy], numerous water buffalo, cows, bulls, hogs, deer, stags, ponies, horses, peacocks, goats which all run free! Cute cub: Me with said cub: the canyon: the cub that lashed his tail repeatedly on my sister [she got a big fright!] some of the ponies running free big scary bull! [there were loads of them!] && one of the newest additinos to the temple; see how thin she is it was an awesome day
