I resumed my ordinary life. Vacations were great and there is a huge contrast that puts me in a strange mood. It seems that I have a new view about things surrounding me. Slowly I put up all pictures I took for my family and friends to look at. My Asus crashed and I spent a lot of time trying to recover lost data. Very annoying!

I am extremely happy with pictures of me from the cruise and from the national parks, especially Eungella. After a jump in the air like the one I did; find life rather …faded!

Painful Monday!

Filed Under Daily

So during the swim today I kept on laughing at each turn because of the pain. My body is of course completely broken due to the climbing up to the tree and the shock caused by the water from a 10 m jump. When I got out of the pool, I could barely walk. I had to take two painkillers in the lab. I noticed that the back of my legs are sore as well and the front of my chest because it has lost some skins. That is the toll taken by a 15 min of craziness. I could have been badly hurt! I learned yesterday the meaning of the point of non-return and I was dead scared while doing it. It seems that this blurry picture is the only trace of the event of my year. Life is so ironic, so cruelly ironic!

On a good note, the Ipod and the polarizer have arrived. All I am waiting for now is the 8 Gb flash compact card. It will be tight, the item has left Hong Kong on Saturday. I’ll keep my fingers crossed. Hopefully it will be here on Wednesday. It is not dramatic but I would feel much better having 8 Gb memory for my Nikon d200. I have noticed that to have a good photo usually you need to take at least 10 or 20.

It happened today at the end of my ordinary and bi-weekly event. I didn’t have the nikon to immortalize the event, I was part of the event. I climbed up a tree that is 15 meters above the ground and then I jumped into the water. I was the only one who did it. The rush of adrenaline was so strong, my whole body was shaking once I jumped into the water. Why did I do such a crazy thing? I do not know!! I’ve got some ordinary pictures of the day but nothing from the event of the year. I would not guess this simple and boring walk would be so exceptional.

I rarely go to the other side of the river besides South Bank, South Brisbane and West End. I usually stick around the most touristic areas. Today I walked all along the other side of the river and took many pictures. It was really nice. I would love to do it again maybe on a bike. It is indeed quite long. So many pretty pictures of course from this long day.

I was busy all day fighting with the new lab computer which was so …silent! No negative talk about work! Let’s forget about the unpleasant things right here right now!

5 more days and then VACATION! Yippie! Don’t we all love this good feeling of anticipation? I do! So what’s in for next week? Caviar, cheese, grapes, wine, honey lamb with herbs, smoked salmon salad, mustard rabbit in white wine, Feeney Irish creme… these are keywords for next week. I won’t say more, a bit of imagination should do the rest.

The swim was perfect and I am drinking few glasses of this nice Irish creme: Feeney

That was awesome! I didn’t know a song like Blade Runner soundtrack would be that nice underwater. Basses and low-pitch sounds are extremely clear underwater and the effects are really nice to the ears. Very relaxing! High-pitch songs are terrible underwater.

I will not talk about many little events that are annoying me! I will try to forget them and let them go away by themselves! Think positive! That’s it!
