Unbelievable
Filed Under Daily
I swam 7 kms (140 laps) this morning by mistake. I miscounted by 20 laps!!! I noticed I miscounted a lot these days because I am just completely wasted at the end. So no swimming the last three days (hiking + Sunday + thunderstorm) and a lot of excitation because of the Nikon d200 has unleashed the beast in me. After 6 kms, it is extremely painful to add every single lap but adding 20 without feeling it! Geez! I need to buy more expensive stuffs I think.

Good Monday?
Filed Under Daily
7:00 I had plenty of sleep and I am rather in a good mood. I have received an email from Fedex Australia. I had to pay $231 to clear up custom fees. My little new toy is in transit and I cannot wait to hold it in my hands. I wonder what my first photo shall be. Wanna make a wild guess? It has rained a lot since yesterday evening and the thunderstorms prevented me from swimming this morning. I did not mind much strangely! It was weird to start work that early though!
18:00 Three days only after payment, it has arrived. Could you only imagine how anxious I was when I picked it up? I am going to give to this seller on ebay the best feedback ever! Now I need the second piece for it to work: the lens!

TO-DO List!
Filed Under Daily
On this beautiful and relaxing Sunday afternoon, I am a happy man. That’s right! All the little annoying things I wanted to do and never got around to do them were finally done. Here is the full list:
#1: I finally painted the number 4 on my trash bin with the french flag colors. Now people will know it belongs to flat #4.
#2: I cleaned up the backyard. The bloke above my flat kept on throwing stuffs. He said it is for the possum but no possum would eat that!
#3: I bought a carpet for the front door. The bloke above me again threw away my old one!
#4: I took away a mass of blond hair on my bathroom window. I could not reach it from inside and had to use a long stick outside.
#5: I bought new brush heads for my Sonic electrical toothbrush. Have I told you it works with sound? Yes!!!! I am very sophisticated.
#6: I cleaned up the garage. I made sure the spiders had time to move away from their web. I would like to keep them for the flies!
7# I bought new soap powders for the washing machine. It was quite heavy to carry home!
#8 I finally synchronised my web and photos folders! I am always afraid of loosing my latest data and modifications.
#9 I upgraded WordPress to version 2.3.1 and everything is working GREAT! Excellent!
There you go. All done! Time for a new TO-DO list.

Springbrook II
Filed Under Hiking
I received an email from Tomas, my fellow hiker. He wanted to go back to Springbrook and asked me if I wanted to join him. Of course, I joined him again. It rained a lot two days ago so there was a lot more water. The place just looks better!

No pain no glory!
Filed Under Daily
I am tired, only 4 hours of sleep yesterday because I was doing some coding on my blog late. The 120 laps were endless! I might have miscounted though. It happens a lot these days because I get distracted by the Finis underwater mp3 player. I guess it will make my shoulders look even bigger than usual. I was not in a mood today to help anyone. Please do avoid me if you ever see me in real life. It is one of these countless times when I need to be with myself…yes my true-self!
I wonder why I try so hard to count exactly 120 laps, why I run 14 kms on a hill. Maybe I have a mental problem if I enjoy so much the pain. As I said I like to do unusual things. Whatever you do that makes you unique is worth it?

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!

No more spaghettis…

…before a long run. That didn’t go unnoticed during my run today. I had to stop 2 times! The stomach ache was unbearable. I am going to sleep tonight and I will dream about my NIKON D200. It will be ordered tomorrow! WEEEEEEEEEEEE

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