Wet, wet Christmas!


Delaqroux Inc Updates

I guess it's been quite a number of times when i make a blogpost and began them with something about not making a blogpost for quite awhile but yeah, once again dear ladies and gentlemen, it has been awhile now hasnt it? Anyways, maybe i should just do a quick recap on what have been going on around here.. I'm not sure if i have made such notification in my past post (and i;m too lazy too check them out) but Macquarie University is having a long summer holidays. As anticipating as it may sound, it may not be so for me as i am extremely, utterly broke right now... and no, my ps3 (still) has nothing to do with it.

Anyways, i ended up getting some odd jobs here and there. One of them is a pet-sitter. Yeah, that's how i roll for dough; i watch a watch dog. No, seriously. I'm given the job to watch over Mike Knutsson, an eight year old german shepherd. While he's still a puppy, Mike's already as big as a german shepherd can get! (Gave me a pounce when i first came over and i almost tumble off the sidewalk..). But unfortunately, Eva and John's on a holiday trip and they took Mike with them - thus, no job for ol' Darkie. But then i got a job as a cleaner for Mrs. Lee residence. As hard as i tried, i really think i suck at total cleanliness. For some reason, it took me ages just to clean windows. While Mrs. Lee does not complain, i'm really eating off my wages with a lil bit of guilty conscience - just being paranoid that i'm not really doing a good job to deserve such a good money.

Anyways, fastforward back to the future (w00t! oxymorons! just gotta love em!), despite me being broke, i managed to end myself up in Brisbane! Yep, one more place crossed out of the Aussie map! It wasnt that long of a trip as i had it entirely impromptu - wasnt planning on going at all earlier, only to get a flight ticket few days before the actual flight there. It was also a short stay as i wasnt planning on bothering anyone on giving me a room for me to crash in. Also, a longer stay means a higher vulnerability for lost items so yep, reminiscing the good ol days when i lost my passport in Wellington, New Zealand, maybe i shouldnt push my luck (or stay) that far. But still, it was all awesomeness to be there.

So, now we're back to the post title: Yep, following up to our last wacky idea on spending the first day of Eidulfitri being wet and wild in Coogee Beach, we decided to celebrate 2k9's first day of Christmas with a double dose of the last action; being wetter and wilder in Manly Beach and Bondi Beach (the initial plan was to check out Coogee once again but excessive dips in the two beaches made the time flew by without any slightest notice). So yep, Shogi, Jeniffer and Intan was with me. Yes, it may sound odd as, while i may have Shogi as my common lepaking companion, i rarely had Jeniffer and Intan with me. Well, let's just say i kinda realized that despite some major outings and activities some of us had, some of 'us' are kind of left out of it. I dunno if this is intentional or whatyever (and i dunno pretty give much rats about it considering that i'm out of em all the way) but hey, why not get some odd company out and have some quirkiest, but most enjouable time ever rather than hanging out with the same ol, same ol all the time? That's how i end up having fun with all the companies i've made in Aussie here and why not re-rotate the circle of randomness all over again now that my old companies are gone? (Yeah, they are all mostly studying in Aussie only for a period of two semester... bummer) So, yep, it's Jeniffer's first outing in Aussie and, as we might not be able to have a white christmas thanks to the absence of snow in Australia, why not have a white Christmas wet? Hell, yeah! Just gotta love em, beach3zzz!!!

Oh right, and just a lil notification here; Christmas in Aussie can get real weird and random. Despite the many Santa's hat-wearing surfers, beach lovers and island girls (on skimpy, red bikini-esque Mrs.Santa-gone-bad swimming suit) on today's outing, i also joined Variety's Santa run for fund activity recently in the city. It's pretty much a fund raising activity as the name implied but all participant can get the chance to run along the streets of Sydney dressed as Santa claus in a whole ocean of other Santa-participants. Total random stuff but it was one helluva good time!

Well, that's pretty much all of the update for now. It;s funny how i always seem to be able to type down my blogpost without actually doing any thinking but now that it comes to the closing, i always end up spending long, long minutes thinking of how should i actually end things. Anyways, let's just hope more posts are on their way and i'll catch u all soon. Till then, Merry Christmas and happy new year! =)
