A whole lot of nothing
Yes, it's been some time since my last post. Some pics at last! I've not been using my camera much lately for no particular reason, just lost my trigger-happiness. I really regret not having any pics at all of my birthday party, realising that since my 12th birthday, it was my biggest celebration! Can't even remember what I did on my 18th.
Lots of stuff have been happening in the lives of friends and I'm so exited for so them. Biggest news is that Line's baby has finally decided that it's time to leave the warm and comfy womb and enter this cold, cruel world after postponing his arrival by 18 days. Congrats Line and Oystein (sorry, can't seem to do the funny slashed O) and hello Johannes! Wish I could hold him and smell him and cover him with kisses. Ilona might 'win' a chance to do some work and study in Asia and that would be absolutely fantastic for her. And *ahem ahem* I've finally heard from Svenja and she has a lot to tell me! =D No news from Sofia but that is so like her. I won't be surprise if I don't hear from her till she arrives at Msia airport. Oh I miss all these people so much. I wish I could record my life and be able to rewind as fastforward as I like.
The pool's looking pretty average again cause the owners have decided to chop the garden up, including most of the trees and the workers let a lot of stuff fall into the pool. And to top that off, the pool cleaner's not working so the water's getting cloudy again. *sob sob* I have never been so frustrated with anyone as I was with the owners cause I have been pestering them to get the cleaner fixed as well as repair a lot of things around the house, but as usual, if it comes to spending, and not collecting money, don't people just love to take their time.
Other than that, my holidays have flown past, with me doing nothing exiting except working heaps and figuring out my Microbiology assignment. And to think that this time last semester I was partying in Cook Islands! I do think I'm taking uni much more seriously now, especially that the course work is so tough and the work load is looking impossible, but also because I *sob* failed Chem last sem (not Cook Island's fault, ok) but at least I passed my supp. I really do, in a way, regret not working much harder than I did in the first year, cause that just means that I have to do a lot of catch up work now. But, really, I don't if that means that I would miss out on exploring Adelaide / Australia as I did. As Mark says, I have done way more than a lot of internationals would ever dream of doing and seen more of South Australia than locals. I only have him to thank cause if he wasn't the enthusiastic, adventurous, generous darling he is, I, well, I really wonder what I would have done. Not many people are up for this sorta thing, but I think we share so much in common, especially our errr.. culinary diversity. In other words, we are both food sluts and I love it!
Long weekend coming up and I will be working 7am-11pm Sunday AND Monday. How sad is that?!!! At least it will be good money, hopefully I get more for working Sunday and a public holiday. $40 per hour would be good! =)
I've been thinking a lot about what to do when my lease expires next August. It is a long time away, but as Sandy says I am so domesticated. Next Feb I'll probably have a whole new set of housemates cause my dear twin has decided to abandon me and live with the Japs. Can't blame her, it will suck to move in her last semester, and honestly, I think that no matter what happens or how far apart we are, nothing will change our relationship. It's won't be difficult finding new housemates.. *fingers crossed*
I just wonder if I should move in with people, or do what I did and furnish a whole place and rent the rooms out. I had a breakdown thanks to wonderfully cooperative owner / real estate agent cause it was so difficult to get them to fix the pool cleaner, which they still haven't anyway. But because I'm in a way, responsible for making sure everything is in good working order, I think my housemates got pissed at me, when really, I was doing my best. There's nothing much I can do except to keep bugging them till they get sick of me and finally fix the house up. I was really frustrated cause it wasn't in my control. Grrr... At least Mark was there when I lost it, and I know he understands what its like cause he's been there, done that. And this made me realise how much I hate being out of control. It's not like I'm a control freak, but I've taken Sebastian's advice from The Little Mermaid of 'If you want something done, do it yourself' to heart since I was young, and I suppose that has made me self-reliant and independant. I hate being controlled, yet I like being looked after and pampered. So how much would I like living in a house that was run by others. I know it sounds really bad, but I know when things need to be done, like making sure there is a good stock of toilet paper and washing detergent and that nice balance between a clean house without expecting perfection. All's well if I do actually get housemates who want the same things as me, but if I get some cheapskate, lazy housemates then what am I gonna do?!
Alright, I don't really know what my point is, guess I'm just letting my thoughts run free cause it is 1.10am and I have not stayed up this late in ages (don't laugh, yes, I have become an early sleeper and riser)
Pics!
Our partially emptied disgusting, dirty, sludgy pool-pond. Yuck! Expected to find the Loch Ness monster or somethign in it.
Housemates hard at work, gloves, itchy skin and all. We acid washed the walls using this watering can, which would explain the gleaming whiteness of the upper part of the walls. Sorry that the pic is sideways. Martina's camera! And i can't be bothered reuploading it.
Yours truly, with hmm... shiny shoes?
Wow!
Nice clean pool being dirtied by bad tree stumping people.
Bye bye wattle tree.. Your flowers, when they are up in the tree and not in my pool, will be missed..
Wine tour with Caromy and Martina
Caromy's trusty little beast
Took this pic hoping a witch won't come out and get me. ;)
Fancy schmancy cellar door. I'm so short!!!!
Tried to get a pic of Martina in the backseat but she was so preoccupied with topping up her hp credit
At Caromy's bachelorette pad. Does my ass looks smaller? Been working hard at the gym...
