Hi Tahir,

Nice to hear from you. Australia is a lot of fun & very hot in Sydney. I will definitely show you pics. But it might not be till I get back in Atl. It's a bit of a hassle to upload them here.
Well, there are a lot of Dutch people here too. In Sydney, I met three Dutch people doing a working holiday here in Australia.
I guess it's too cold in Holland!

Bye,

Shaikh

Heb vandaag gesproken met je ouders en was benieuwd hoe het met je gaat daar in Australie. Wel op deze site heb ik veel meer gelezen dan alleen wat er in Australie gebeurt. Ik vraag me nu af wat ik heb gemist. Wie is die Shyla nou? Kidding ik had al van haar gehoord maar ze schijnt een heel spontane meid te zijn. Ik zou haar graag ook eens een keertje willen zien. Als je toch foto's gaat uploaden doe dan ook eentje van haar wil je? Ben er nieuwsgierig naar.

Heyy GUYYS!

What's new? Nice to read your messages. I just flew into Sydney & have been exploring the city a bit. It's pretty nice & people here are pretty well off. Lots of nice cars, expensive shopping, & resort hotels.

Well, I hope that all of you are doing great. Glad to hear that Tots & Samson are okay. When is Voela going to CA?

Keep me posted.

Shaikh

Hey Shyl, yes, it was so nice chatting with you. Shaikh, do you know she is really good in imitating and acting? I enjoyed it, Shyla, haha.

And Irshaad is right, the dogs are sometimes too much. Now we wonder how you managed to keep them happy. Oh no, don't worry, they are happy, Tots is still one spoiled baby, but I think they miss the rough play with you.

Hey, try to call in the weekend, will you?

We love you,
Mom & dad

Watup bro,
how's the tan coming along?

Dude these dogs are impossible, we need you back man!!!!! They cry for you every 2 or 3 hours, and nothing will make them happy. Well no, im just kidding. Tots still chews on her balll during the day and sleeps in the "bird" at night. And Big Boy.... he whines... a lot. And he's really big. I'm guessing you taught him to jump before you left. Probably just to spite me. He jumps on me now, and he pretty much claws me half to death before I can get him off me. It makes playing with them in the backyard seem less like "fun time" and more like "combat training."

But things overall are good. I heard you befriended some hippies. Excellent choice of friends for taking it easy. They're such a peaceful, chilled out folk. I always knew you were a hippie inside.

=) Hope you're having a good time

I just thought I'd let you know that there is snow outside my window right now...and more is expected in the next 10 days!!!

Reading your posts and looking at the depressing environment outside makes me want to jump on the next flight outta here...see u in byron bay? ;-)

Where are the pics man?? load 'em up already! When do you go to Sydney? I still haven't heard from my roommate there but I'll mail him again so you guyz can get in touch.

And don't be having too much fun there...save some of the excitement for our trip to Europe sometime in the "future"...anywayz man...sorry for not keepin' in touch these last couple of weeks...work and weather aren't the greatest at the moment...

Can you pick up a 'Roo for me on your way back?

Hey Shaikh - sorry I have been out of touch w/your message board but hey - I sent you like 4 e-mails recently. I hope that makes up for it! Anyway, as you know, the net was down b/c of Comcast. I have your mom to thank though - she told me what to do w/the modem to make it work again. YAY! I can reconnect w/the world via e-mail & have the luxury once again of e-mailing from my house! Anyway, it's nice to hear about all the good times you're having in Oz - kangaroos, penguins, mountains, cool people - sounds like a lot of fun. It certainly sounds a lot better than projects, groupwork, tests, papers, and quizzes - the current ongoing saga of my life. For the most part, things are the same here. It was nice visiting your parents over the weekend - it was nice just chatting w/them - oh yea - & they made some really good food :) Tots went crazy when I first arrived at your house (what else is new?) and I just think that after a few minutes she got sad b/c she associates me w/you. She was probably thinking "Where's my better half?" Hey - wait a second - isn't that what I'M supposed to be saying????? Take care and have fun. Keep in touch.

Hehe Shaikh, fijn weer van je te horen. Vooral hoe je schrijft dat je een fijne tijd hebt gehad. Jee, 't klinkt allemaal zo geweldig. Geniet flink van je tijd daar. Ga je nog proberen New Zealand ook te zien? Anyway, ik email je later. Doei.

Hey Guyys!

I'm glad to see all these messages. Thanks for keeping in touch.
I just arrived from a 3-day trip into the Tassie mountains. Awesome, but no internet ofcourse. So I couldn't really keep in touch.

Ma, good luck with Comcast. Don't worry about food. I'm eating great.

Voela, Yipee Canada is coming soon. There are alot of canadians here in Oz.

Ait, thanks for your msg. Good luck with your play.

Pyle, you should come join me in OZ. We'll go sailing in the Whitsundays! OOH!

Who else?

Tots, make sure you get pampered every day!!!!!

John, who won the game? I hope SPurs. Haven't kept up at all, but don't miss it too much either.

Chris, nobody drinks Fosters in OZ.

Okay,

Cheers

Shaikh

Whaz' up bro. Forgot about me, heh? Woef!
Samson says Hi. Whof!

Give us a call man!

Shrekkkky, I can't believe it man...you are living one of your dreams. It's not something that all of get to do, but you are the man of your words, you said you'd go and look at you...although I wish you had left some time to go to Mexico with me too, but it's all good. :)
All your stories sound amazing...I might just quit my job and join you there lol. Well things are the same here, just not as much fun without you. Can't believe you won't be back till May or so...whoa. Sorry for being out of touch, work is taking over every second of my life. So before you start your 9-9 drone life, this is one of the best things you could be doing with your time off. Post some pics when you can, although I can imagine it may be difficult with expensive internet in Aussi world. Have fun and keep us all posted (like you are already doing). Miss ya homie...tru playas from the dutty dutty south. hahaha.

Shaikh,
Sounds like you're having the time of your life. Enjoy every minute. Have a Foster's for me.
Cheers,
Chris
