Height clearance Fail!

Today is Market Day/Orientation in UQ and after missing the direct bus to UQ, I decided to take another bus and walk from the Mater Hill station to UQ using the Green Bridge since I had plenty of time. While walking I noticed the jam on the road and wondered why.

Here's why:

Height clearance fail!

That's the funniest thing I have seen this whole week. The truck driver must have miscalculated his truck height and decided to push his luck but obviously Lady Luck was frowning on him. Poor fellow tried backing the truck a few times to free himself but to no avail. Police and other bystanders came and must have provided some bright ideas on how to dislodge the truck from under the bridge.....LOL!

On another note, I finally bought a new mattress to aid my aching body as I have been sleeping on a sagging foam mattress for a week now. Went to Super A Mart and got a great deal, what was supposed to be a AUD 130 spring mattress became AUD 90 and it comes with double layer padding too!

Sweet dreams

That's it for the moment. More to come later this week if I am free.

Year 2009!!

After a long hiatus, I am finally back in Brisbane and back in the blogging scene again due to boredom. If you noticed, when I was back in Malaysia there was no blog entry cuz I was busy lim teh in mamak stalls with my buddies.

Back to the point anyway, HAPPY NEW YEAR! It's 2009 and it's the year of the ox which is also the year of the Great Depression! I don't know why I sound happy and not depressed....lolz

And while I was back in Malaysia, we had a small gathering for VW Golf 1.6 FSi owners. As usual it was car talk and more teh tarik to keep the mouth moist so we can brag about what we have done to our cars,

VW Golf 1.6 FSi owners.

Next thing up is UQ stuff; signed up for 4 subjects as usual but timetable seems light, that means I finish at noon and have the rest of the day free everyday. To make my time more productive, I have applied for a lab job in the Institute of Molecular Bioscience but have no confidence that I will get it because my results are average but we'll see how Lady Luck smiles or worst - frown on me.......hehe

Have a great year 2009 everyone!
