    Things I do when I have spare time: Fishing, spending time with my hubby, taking my puppies out, going for long drives as long as it's away from all the traffic. Meeting my sister & mum & friends for coffee & shopping. Paint & draw. I am currently writting a series of childrens books for my neices, i didn't take into account 10x books with 10-11 pics in each was a lot to do when i started them <!-- s:roll: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_rolleyes.gif" alt=":roll:" title="Rolling Eyes" /><!-- s:roll: -->

    Current Pets I have: 4 dogs(i'm always taking in strays) & 2 cats (one of which thinks she's a dog), & all the fish

    Favorite Colour: Black, Red & pink

    Favorite Wild Animals: I have always wanted a pet 3 toe Sloth, i know they smell & all that, but they are soooooo cute!

    General about me: I grew up in Nothern Brisbane, then just after our wedding my Hubby got posted (army) to VIC. Spent almost 4 years there, and now i'm home. I never want to leave again, except i may move to Tassie, i luv it there, so relaxed & beautiful. The only good thing about VIC was that we were in Central VIC, great for gorgeous drives to Rutherglen(wineries), Yarra Valley(wineries), Bendigo.....you get the picture. I work all week and spend my weekends living it up, that is the good thing about not having kids, we go away all the time & just go out & have fun.

    Fave Music: Mostly 70's & 80's including Alan Parsons Project. Latin american music.

    Things I couldn't live without: Family and friends.
    Things I miss: Thought I couldn't live without ballroom/latin dancing (15+ years worth) but am adjusting to that loss (wife had an accident and can't dance anymore, and daughter is not up to it yet), and like some of the others, my horses. Used to breed arab/palomino but had to give that away when I went to uni, same as all the poultry I use to breed and show. Hmm, think I see a pattern here, hence the quick addiction to fish.

    Travel: All but W.A. Most recent was Heron Island in March 09 for 10th wedding anniversary - now that is a place to dive/snorkel for fish!
    Overseas: US/Canada, New Caledonia

    Myanmar(Burma) use to be Monland. Along time ago our country was conquered by the Burmese, so now it has become Burma. We have become a minority in our own country, it is quite sad <!-- s:( --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad" /><!-- s:( --> . My family left Burma because their was too much fighting, and my dad was a rebel fighting against Burmese opression, so my mum and i were always in danger.
