Boy oh Boy

Boy oh Boy!

How long has it been?! Too long! Hehe... Well, I've logged on a few times and even planned on what to blog but never get around actually doing it. Busy! Busy! Busy! Huhuhu...

Boy oh Boy!

Mini heat wave, crazy winds and rain all day on the Coast! It's only been a week since I came back from Malaysia. Talk about crazy weather.

Boy oh Boy!

Heaps to do!!! I guess until I actually finish my studies, the work will never stop. Abstract, lab book, lab work, group meeting, reading, etc etc...

Boy oh Boy!

Oh yeah. I now have a housemate, roommate, bedmate and we share almost everything in the house. He even cooks for me at times! :)

Boy oh Boy!

Eventhough I had 3 weeks in Malaysia for a break, it wasn't really enough. Will it ever be enough?! Hehehe... Anyways, Mr. Hubby was quite eager to know whether the lil un is a boy or girl. So we did manage an ultrasound scan a week before we fly back to Oz. So now we know if the lil un is a he or she! What do you think?!

Boy oh Boy! ;)

Cheers!

as life goes on...

This time last year, I was at home in Malaysia. I took about 10 weeks off Uni to prepare for my wedding, get married and have a short honeymoon. I was then probably busy getting all the documents with the marriage registrar ready as well as all the other details of the marriage ceremony itself.

A year later, that is today, I am experiencing one of the many effects of the flood crisis. I am now stranded at the Plaza; waiting for the bus to Uni. I missed the bus before by a few seconds and now have to wait for another 2 hours for the next bus. Of course if I'd knew earlier, I would have run after the bus before. Huhuhu... The Sunbus buses are experiencing fuel shortage due to the South East Queensland flood crisis. Their fuel truck did not come last Monday to supply their weekly fuel thus the action of limiting bus services. So, instead of 3 different buses that goes to Uni, there's only one and it runs every 2 hours. I have one more hour to go. *sigh* Oh well, at least it's sunny.

The river across my house here did spilled over the roads last Wednesday but it did not flood the house. Although Linda insisted that I come with her to her daughter's house on higher grounds just in case. We stayed there for a night. It was scary watching how when river banks burst and water consumed anything on its way on the TV and some of the houses belong to people I know. It's also a bit depressing.

Personally, as for now, I have to plan my days ahead with considerations that things would not be as normal as it always is for sometime. I definitely have to brace myself of any possibilities and changes in my daily activities. Having said that, 75% of Queensland is in some level of flooding and state of emergency. What's all these things I'm going through at the moment compared to the lives of the people in that 75% of Qld?

Mother Nature

"How the hell are you going to Uni??"

That was the question right after I told Linda where I was heading to this morning. Linda and Helen (Linda's sister) were busy packing up sand bags. I wanted to help earlier but Linda won't let me. So, I decided to go to Uni for a bit, check up on my bacterial cultures, check my Uni e-mail and get some experiments up and going. That was the plan. But just as I was getting off the bus, I heard on the bus driver's radio that Bradman Avenue is closed. Huh?!! That's where I live! But then again Bradman Ave is quite a long road. Hope all is still fine up to where I live. Linda  did mentioned of flood warning as the Maroochy river is rising as we speak. And high tide could possible make that happen later tonight. We had quite a bit of storm last night and the rain didn't really stop since yesterday morning. Goshh!! That is a lot of rain! And it is happening all over the Sunshine Coast.

Okay. I think I better get ready to go home now.

Who could deny the power of mother nature, eh? God is Great! SubhanAllah. Hope all will be safe.

Cheers!
