Updates from Newcastle

8:19 pm / Posted by gowri /

Helllooooo people! Yes I have not dissappeared off the face of the earth...just been stuck in the ulu place that is Newcastle for the past month now:P Ahhhh what have I been doing you ask? Nothing really..going to hosp, coming back from hosp and preparing for hosp the next day..so sad:(
hehe anyways this year Su Yen and I moved off campus and are now living in this house on Sunset Boulevard(damn cool right the name...i feel special:P) Anyways we took a while to adjust to the house and lets just to say I must have angered some insect God at some point in my life because all the cursed creepy crawlies have decided to come live with me this year..let me just outline the "housemates" I have (or should say had cos we got rid of them one way or the other)

1. Wasps
Yes we had a little wasp hive near our laundry room...our laundry room was in pretty bad shape so we decided to clean it up a bit..its downstairs kinda under the house so there was a lot of leaves and all..there was also a very colourful spider on one of the windows near the laundry room..I asked my landlord to get rid of it(and i meant get some pro ppl to come in) but he voluntereed pretty readily to kill it himself which he did:D

2. Cockroaches
Eeeeeeeee got so many ok!everyday we are killing a few...lucky they are mainly the small small ones..but yesterday and today i happened to find the big ones in my room!!!needless to say that i sprayed enough mortein to kill even myself if i had hung around my room right after my spraying:P

3.Slug
Yes you read right...let me outline the scenario for u..there i was ready to have my shower(after checking the bathroom for nasty creepy crawlies of course) i stepped into my shower and was all ready to get my shampoo..when *shock & horror* the little beastly slug was on my shampoo bottle!!!!!!!now the old gowri would have run out screaming right away but the new and improved gowri stole su yens shampoo and shower gel *sorry su yen:P* and finished my shower in less than 10 mins! Su yen of course came and got rid of it for me:D

4. Spiders
Of course I had to save the best for the last...yes spiders..i hate it when ppl say ur in Aus, get used to them..well sorry i will never get used to them...my new house has a lot of trees and there are quite a few of them hanging around the garden..at first they kinda freaked me out but now i dont really care...as long as they dont enter the house..which brings me to my next story...A MASSIVE SPIDER was just above su yens room the other day..when i saw it i just froze in my tracks!i was terrified..and as usual su yen was as calm as ever..she actually asked me calmly how we were gonna get rid of it..we couldnt do anything about it cos we had to leave for the hosp..all day i was thinking about it..hoping that it wouldnt move..luckily when i got home my other housemates had caught it and were gonna get rid of it..i was a little relieved to find out that it wasnt poisonous..but still traumatising:S will put up a pic after this:D

Ok not that many insects I guess..but its not that bad(in case you guys are thinking of visiting:P) Its just the city girl in me talking..hehe ok la we havent been THAT boring..we went out last night for a med function..got to meet all the imu juniors and bercantik!!YAAAY so happy:P minumed a little and got very dizzy but thats about it..had to come back early cos we have hospital early today..sigh..ok pic time!!
