I think Singapore is a food paradise. There are many food choices people can eat in Singapore. They include Japanese, Chinese, Malay and Thai food. You can eat at the many food stalls, coffee shops and restaurants found everywhere. Some of the local favourite dishes are chilli crab, laksa, fish head curries and a chicken dish with rice. Singaporean people love eating food. One time I went with my family to a restaurant at midnight. It was so busy we had to wait for an empty table. If you visit Singapore try as many different foods as you can.

Having a new partner can be exciting. But if you have a disability you should be honest about what you can and can't do. When I started a relationship I tried to do too much. We went to Sydney for a holiday and I didn't take my scooter. My partner wanted to go out in the evening. I was exhausted and didn't want to disappoint him. But he told me not to worry. It is important to try and be independent even when you are in a relationship. A good relationship is when two people love and support one another.

A new study has found many parents with mental illness do not get the support they need. Many fear losing their child. Kate wants to have a baby. But she is worried about what would happen if she got sick. Anj did not get the support she needed after she had her son. But now she runs a playgroup for parents with a mental illness. The women in the group help support each other. There needs to be more parenting services and support. People also need to be told about what services are available.

In 2004 I was in a serious car accident. I was in a coma for three months and suffered a brain injury. I use a walking frame and a crutch to walk. I am embarrassed that walking is so difficult for me. But now I am learning to walk independently again. I go to physiotherapy classes. It is very hard work. I need to keep my back straight. I must remember to keep my right knee bent. I must step with my heel first. I am exhausted. But I keep trying. My goal keeps me motivated and moving forward.

I was the manager of a farm called ReGenesis in New South Wales. It was an organic farm. Organic farming is when no artificial chemicals are used on the soil and plants. We grew fruit and vegetables and sold them to local restaurants and pubs. The farm had small cows that helped keep the grass short. We also planted trees for harvesting and replaced native bush and plants. The farm was a beautiful place to work. It was near the ocean. After a long day of work I would go for a swim at the beach.

In 1994 I lived near Broome in Western Australia. I went on a nine-day walk with the Goolarabooloo people. I learned how to follow bush bees to their honey and how to dig for water. I learned to track and hunt animals. When the walk finished the Goolarabooloo people invited me to stay with them. I worked for four hours a day and lived in a hut by the beach. I ate traditional bush food like turtles and goanna. The next trail walk will be in June this year. I strongly recommend it.
