My biggest bid ever!
Filed Under Daily
So I ordered my Nikon D200 and the 18-200 mm DX VR lens separately. The total price is about $2800. This is my biggest bid on ebay ever. I am keeping my fingers crossed! I do not want any problem with any of these items. They are way too expensive and I am hoping they will arrive quickly. The shipping cost is very expensive!
If everything comes as expected I will be taking tons of pictures of …..MEEEEEEEEEEEE! HAHA!

I HATE MONDAYS!
Filed Under Daily
Here is my rant against this Monday! To start with, my internet connection stopped working and Kegel made some stupid jokes saying he killed my internet page. I knew already that my router had some weaknesses: so if you use a certain command line, you can disconnect me from IRC. I thought he had found another weakness or used some brute force packet tools. I decided to go home to reboot my router quickly because I wanted my friends and parents to see the nice pictures from Springbrook national park. I was really pissed and I had tons of words in my mind for the “lewser” called Kegel! In fact, the internet stopped working by itself. I am still upset against Kegel for making stupid jokes!
I was so excited with the pictures that I could not get any work done today and I am a bit late in my work. I usually do not get much done on Mondays anyways!
Now there is this horrible burning smell in the air. It is everywhere: in Toowong, in my room!!! I cannot breathe! Am I really the only one who is affected? Nils did not even mention it. I hate to tell people I suffer because it hurts me more to know that they do not even feel it!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA MONDAYS! I HATE YOU!
All I need now is a shower, a good dinner and we will watch “The Usual Suspect” at 6 pm.

Saturday dinner

I really felt like having some lamb tonight. I usually don’t like cooking but it was worth the pain!

Kegel found my place cold and said it looks like an hospital. I wanted to prove him wrong with the following pictures. It is a very nice looking and high standard apartment. I enjoy it very much and people are often impressed:

Nils’ Hands
Filed Under Daily
Nils has all kind of strange stuffs on his hands and arms. I, on the contrary, do not carry or have anything at all. Most of the time I only have my wallet. Nowadays I do try to carry around my Panasonic camera. Have I mentioned he has a collection of knives and a sword or two? I shall take a picture of him imitating Darth Vader.

Friday evening!
Filed Under Daily
Two good swimmers in my lane is a rare event. I really enjoyed my swim this morning.With the summer, many slow people would come to the fast lane.
This is my quiet dinner on a Friday evening. Nils is out and about.

Waiting On The World To Change

From John Mayer. Strange voice! I had the impression it was a black dude singing the song. The chorus is fantastic. The same singer of “Your body is a wonderland”
Wanna give it a try? Here

Dead possum and noise pollution!
Filed Under Daily
On my way to the pool early this morning, I saw another dead possum body. I really do not like them much but the view of their fragile body on the pathway is always something sad to me. The dead body will stay there for few days and get decomposed. The view and the smell of a decomposed possum almost made me puke one time.
I also noticed how noisy St Lucia is! Early in the morning the birds would wake me up with their songs. It is not very pretty and I remember that, during my first few days in Australia, I wanted to shoot some of them. There are also the cars and the motorbikes. The worse event is probably the 5-7 pm electrical noises: for some strange reasons, the power poles get very noisy between these two hours. It has been 3 years now and I still cannot get used to that noise. Maybe someday, someone will fix that noise pollution, I doubt it will be done before I leave. Most of the time I have to use earplugs or headphones because of this constant noise pollution.
