I started this blog when I first went on an exchange to Brisbane, Australia. During that experience, I discovered my love for culture, travelling and adventures. This blog has followed me since and been my forum for pictures and stories from Tanzania, South Africa, Ireland, Fiji, Malaysia, Singapore, Europe etc.

Potluck euro pop night group shot. Cooper and 7 girls. Still, h is mainly intrested in the food =)
Great night. And wll done Sweden. I must say Sweden and Russia were my favourits and I really liked Denmark as well. Shame she didn't get more points. AND. I could not stop laughing when Ireland finished of their clatchy song with the hand through the hair and then up again. Tearing!
Europe was once again delivering!

EUROVISION SONG CONTEST LADIES NIGHT

Publicerad 2012-05-27 08:28:26 i Allmänt,

Waaaaa! I can't believe it is 4pm and I still have managed to avoid to find out who the winner in Eurovision 2012 is. I'm pretty proud of myself. 
Today's PM at the lab, I just screamed out to everyone that if someone knows who the winner of eurovision is, don't tell me! And everyone went like "whats eurovision??" 
Might have helped out a bit I guess...
'
So. The reason for having a Eurovision ladies night is because last Wednesday, QLD played NSW in the first game of State of Origin. My fever was still up a bit but watching it alone is not super tmepting so I messaged Rish who messaged back saying "Sorry Em, its state-of-origin-guys-night". Same reply from Tom. And I thought to myself that no one of my female friends would ever have a state-of-origin-ladies-night... So I created eurov. ladies night instead!
Unfortunately I will be the only European watching it with a bunch of Canadians, australians and Mauritiusans (are they called that??) but whatever!
'
Oh, ended up watching state of origin with Cooper in the couch (don't tell Johnny). Not as dressed up as last year, but still an awesome game!

MY HOUSE

Publicerad 2012-05-25 11:29:19 i Allmänt,

Just realized I never uploaded pictures of my new house. And since I have been cleaning the whole evening thanks to Coopers little surprise when I got home. (He had been alone inside the house for the second time and the disaster was not at all as bad as last time but since he made me start cleaning, I couldn't stop)
Coopers little surprise, greating me with the toilet brush, ripped toilet paper, my conditioner and ripped plastic bags and blankets. Happy Friday!

That's the indoor pics. I'll have to take pictures of the garden and pool another time when it is not raining and not dark.

As for the updated. I am still sick. Have had fever 5 days with a massive headache. Still have to work every day so it is hard to recover.

7 breakfasts until flight to Spore an Sthlm!

BROKEN HEADS

Publicerad 2012-05-22 00:03:15 i Allmänt,

It has been a while again with no updates. I gues mainly because I am not doing as many interesting things that I used to. However last weekend was nice. Me, Ross, Amrish and Omar decided, as I had a weekend off, to get out of town for a while. So we drove interstate down to New south wales and broken heads for some camping. It is so easy to forget about the simple things in life sometimes. And it is nice to be reminded by the surrounding of nature. Everything tastes good while camping as you have to spend so much time preparing the food. Whatever you do, it is a little mission that brings you a little bit closer to nature.

Remote beaches in Broken heads

Playing retirement games (boules) in the sand with Em as a winner every second time!
Wine and chocolate in the sunset
Freedom
At night, went down to one of the remote beaches and made an illegal fire to keep us warm in the Australian winter night.
African colours
Heating up on the beach the next morning. Wasn't too cold, still I woke up sick on Monday. Or rather, I slowly got sick on Monday and had to leave work early. Good that I had a placebo sick dog to take care of while watching swedish movies on my laptop for the rest of the day...

Utkast: Maj 5, 2012

Publicerad 2012-05-05 09:54:21 i Allmänt,

I have really been a disaster updating my blog lately. I just have too much to do to squeez it in. Work is taking all my time and I recently finished 21 days straight before I had a weekend off. Ofcourse, my whole Saturday (last week) rained away as never before. Sunday wasn't great, but me Rish and Ross had decided to go back to Cedar creek to swim in the water holes again. Didn't really think of the previous day's rain and how it would stain the otherwise so clear water muddy and brown. Two old german tourists were admiring the waterhole when we arrived. After 2 hrs of driving to get there, you don't change your plans. We all jumped in with the old couple starring at us with wide open eyes, gasping. It was worth jumping into the brown ice cold water just to see the look on their faces!

As I said, work takes all my time and my new best friend is Danny's (my office neighbour)'s Nespresso machine with which I without wanting or trying to created this awesome coffee yesterday! Maybe I should become a Barrista instead...
Cooper is slowly recovering from his surgery as well. Problem is that his mind is recovering faster than his body. He is def the best housemate I ever had. Slightly in love...
Goodnight.
(Oh, just had a look in my diary, landing on Swedish ground in 1month time. Wow, the time really goes fast!)
