Well there you have it a rider finally gave me the right brand for me to start a blog on Ubering in Melbourne. After one year and some months OU is born. Why OU you may ask? Well OU stands for Orange Uber (OU). Makes sense right? Well only if you know that I drive and Orange Subaru XV Crosstrek. How this came about was purely by chance as I already had the car before I started this Uber thingy. Why today? Well because every rider that came in the car loved the colour. The three lovely ladies who were going to the Carmelitr Monastery fund raising where 497 guests attend to the Japanese business men taking my ride to Ferntree Gully. But it was the Andrew(not his actual name) that gave me the idea as we brainstorm the idea that I should write about best parking spots in Melbourne, good places to eat and sights and happenings in Melbourne. Like the Extinction Revolution climate change protest in Melbourne. Their point taken and made. Let’s hope things change and our world gets saved.

I wonder why they called it that. Young Living Essential Oils or YLEO for short. I came across these when I was in Singapore and having caught a rather bad bout of flu prior to arriving the YLEO was introduced to me by my cousin, Ella. At first I was sceptical about using them, mostly because EO are EO right. Well that is where the difference comes in. YLEO seem to have got the formula right from the start. Develop, control, test and manage the manufacture of the oils from Seed to Seal. What that essentially means is that from the time they grow the seeds to the time that the oil is bottled, every step of the process is controlled to give you the purest oil that can be bottled. Lavender and Peppermint for instance are 100% oil in that tiny bottle. Not diluted with other oils to give you the oil and say its 100% pure Lavender oil. Of course its hard to be believe what you see on the world wide web (WWW) but in trying out the oils I found that they are indeed purer than many of the so call essential oils out there. That means you get what you pay for. A good quality product that is what they say it is. No other company does this in such detail. Coming from the chemical industry that once manufactured detergents and household products such management is the best way to ensure that you get what you wanted. Seek it out for yourself on Young Living – Mossyy.

Send me an email I  will email you the details. You have to try it to believe that this company makes good products. Go live young with Young Living and get back to using natural products.

Well its now 8 months since I started this business of Uber. It has been and still is a wonderful experience and joy to meet so many different people from all walks of life. Young and old. I have come to know Melbourne roads better. After living here for 23 years you would think I would know every nook and cranny right. No, it’s a new discovery every day. A discovery I am beginning to enjoy.

Today I married the most wonderful woman that makes my life special. She is my friend, my lover my everything and means the world to me. We may have had bad times when we made each other want to shoot each other but in a marriage if you don’t have those ups and downs it would be stale. I love you Sonia Quintal Mary Moss. Thank you for the wonderful years and the many more to come. Always, Ronald

This was taken in 1973 when I was a wee fellow and had more hair. L to R. Christine, cousin Ann, her sister Emily, their Brother Harry, me, my sister Rose and my Brother Alan. This was just before Rose went off to UK to study nursing. She never completed it. If you look carefully you will see it taken in a wooden house. I grew up in an Attap house on stilts in a Kampong.

It been a while. Yes I know. I haven’t posted for a long time. You see its because of social media. What do I post and where? I even don’t post often to FB. You know that social media giant that keeps us glued to our phone and tablets and all our other devices. 

We have had the Olympics 2016 and Australia seems to have done well. Yeah! But some amazing stories came out of the games. Like Singapore winning its 1st Gold medal in the 100M Butterfly by Joseph Schooling. Well done Joseph. FIJI winning the Rugby 7 a side. Great job guys and Australia winning the Modern Olympics Penthalon for womens. Wow! The triumphs that some achieved is amazing. I am sure there were many more. But all in all the Rio Games was a success. 

Life now goes back to normal. What’s on for next week. Well lots. Maybe I’ll talk about that another day. God Bless you all.

Of all the drinks that seems to add a nice tange is Lemon Lime Bitter. Always nice to have with a meal. At Cafe Greco it compliments the excellent paella and calamari salad. The wagyu beef too is an excellent choice too and compliments the gourmet pizza.
