OZ so far

Delaqroux Inc Updates

Putting aside all those mediocre blogpost i've made up until now, maybe i should start blogging on the current happenings as usual. There are (finally) things worthy of an update so here's the lineup on what i have been doing so far in Aussie. After all, like the wisemen of blogging always say; too much of an emo blogposts is bad for the blog's publicity.

So first thing up is the food. Due to the reason that fast food here can be pretty expensive and halal-not halal issue is still a.. well.. an issue (did you know that there's an english word for halal? Cant remember what it is at the moment tho), i've been settling for homemade cooking almost everyday. Fortunately, raw ingredients are pretty cheap and our accomodation include a well-equipped kitchen (microwave oven, oven, stove, pots and pans, cutleries, spatula, knives, potato peeler, glasses, plates, wine bottle opener, fridge, bread toaster, kettle... didnt i mention well-equipped?). So yep, it's cooking all the way definitely. Regardless, me, being a terrible cheapskate, a packet of rice and asian-ish ingredients are pretty expensive and it's a total turn off for me. So up till this point, rice and asian food has almost been something in the past. Normally my meal will normally be sphaggeti bolognese (minus the meat however), bread n egg, fish fillet with mixed veggies, muesli cereal etc. etc. Tough life, i admit. But there are also occasional events now and then organized with the inclusion of free food (yay, RICE!) so yep, i... am... a cheapskate.. heheh..

So enough with the food, let's talk about outings.

Ah, yes.. who could forget the god-forbid Macquarie Centre, the nearest mall to our residence which also served as my pasar malam, pasar pagi, pasar borong and pasar juadah up til today. But trust me, i know how my definition of near can sometimes include 30 minutes of walk but with the uphill and downhill, across the campus, 30 minutes walk to Macquarie Centre straight from our village, i am starting to doubt how i define something being near or far already. Yeah, it can get pretty tiring and boring when you see the same shops over and over (Woolworth, Reject Shop, Big W, repeat, repeat again) so a random walking session with Alia a few days back brought us right in the middle of Lane Cove forest reservation park. Well, of course there's nothing there but trees, birds and squirels but hey, at least, that is a change of pace and it wasnt all that bad. Aside to all that, there's finally the mother of all outing spot in Aussie; SYDNEY!!!.. well, i'm not really sure if it's really the mom of all outing place but that's how i've been thinking so far about the place. Planning to venture around the place again soon and if the myth goes that there's nothing much to do around Sydney aside sight-seeing n window shopping, well, I hereby vow to break that myth! LOLZ.. Now to find some crazy companions who are willing to travel around and do crazy stuff with me. I still have none at the moment. Bleh...

Oh yeah, and just a quick line up of updates; remember there is this chinese zodiac prediction which claimed that Snake bearers this year will bleed? Well, yeah, i bled... and it wasnt a pretty sight. But hey, i still have all my ten (wait.. one, two, three, four..) fingers intact up to this point of me blogging so yeah, everything's good and i am still alive and blogging. Heheh.. Let's just keep it at that. So what else... hmm... **spins around on the office chair**

Well, i cant think of anything at the moment. Guess if i ever can think of something later, i'll post it up on a different blogpost. Up til then, stay tuned! =D
