bits and pieces from busking

it was amusing to see the brisbane river swelled and swelled in the endless spring rain. until it finally caused a flood in a suburb neighbouring our yeerongpilly office. the river had flowed reversely and the flows joined head on just off the elanor schonell bridge less than half a kilometer away from our UQ office. The waterline had risen so much that part of the trees and bushes on the banks are now under water. and i kept on amusing myself watching the nature works.

hydrexia had officially moved to yeerongpilly. the UQ office is now quite deserted, except for mornings when fellow scientist marc and i need to tend our experiments in the hydrogen lab. being the sole figure in the office is a good experience for one to see the fuller operational expects of a small company. i greeted the mailman who is a familiar face, the delivery guy who's gutted with the weather, the fruitbox lady who marveled at the discrete location of our office; directed phone calls to each person in yeerongpilly; and now that most of the dirty animals a.k.a. "blokes" are gone, i've also cleaned part of the kitchen. the cleaning would need to be extended to the workshop, hydrogen lab and the office...

oh, and i've adopted the neglected hydrexia football. a good size 4 which we use for futsal :)

the shed in yeerongpilly that is to be our future hydrogen lab has been transformed into a jamming studio, equipped with instruments, amplifiers, electronic mixers and stuffs... the guys had been convincing me to pick up bass again, and there is one just lying in the shed as i type on. i'm forcing them to learn "海阔天空" from the hongkong band Beyond as a condition ^^ they are also trying to convince my boss andrew to bring his air rifle, and to make dave bring over his dirt bike so that ppl can jump ramps in the factory ="= the board members are coming for a visit in two weeks time, not sure that they'll be too thrilled with it...

these, are the weird, funny and good people of hydrexia :)
LL, now tell me my first impressions of ppl is not accurate ^^
and yet i come...
