You learn and see something new everyday

I ...wrote a heap of stuff and I somehow stuffed it up. I honestly cannot remember what I previously wrote because I'm such a goldfish, so I'm just going to put up pictures.




The crowd watching the Great Australian Duck Race. Rubber ducks are cool but it was probably the most slowest most painful race I ever sat through; scorching heat, crying babies, did I mention scorching heat.



After what it seems like eternity, the race started. I left after 5 minutes because my skin was on fireee.

(Oh yea, I learned something new today. Black and white photos with colour accent, yay! not the best but eh, my first try)




Me and my new ugly dark skin and dying grasses. No one was around me because I was sitting on the pathway, which I only realised after almost getting run over by baby prams, over and over again.

I was looking up at the sky today and saw this in the making.








Pretty cool...preeeety cool.

Tennis, ah yes tennis, I've been watching it on a big screen in Fed Square even though there is a tv in the house. I didn't want to watch it alone :(.
I could go on and on about how much I.....but yyeo will only roll her eyes and puke blood, so i'll spare my feelings. haha

fin.

Gimme a house!!!

Who knew finding a house would be so hard...bragh! So many people, so little houses.

Afternoon news

It's not formal (?) but I can officially say I'm about to grad soon. woots! No more thoughts of "Oh No, What if I fail this subject? shit shit shiit shiiiit!!! ". No more rocking myself to sleep like a senile old woman. Ah ha ha, none of that for me.

How did I manage to scrape through like this? It's a miracle. A miracle indeed.

La Di Da

Composed is what you should be.

I finally got the job. Today was my first day of work and boy did it abuse my feet and bashed my face in glass. I've never worked in a cafe before this and to work on a super busy night on my first shift was a real kicker. It's weird being on the other side for a change. To serve people instead of getting served. I cannot picture myself working full time in a cafe. My brains will wilt and die and wilt some more.

So anyways, I'm still house hunting. Such a terrible experience. Application forms and more application forms, gargh...I can't wait to have a house to call my rented own. As much as I would love to crash on the 37th floor with an absolutely amazing view of the city and beyond, I'm longing to have a place of my own, a BED of my own. Oh yes a bed of my own...drools. Oh and also get some sweet speakers to listen to music the way it should be heard, not through a 4 year old laptop speakers. So many things to look forward to!!

Gosh, I'm beat. I can't think anymore.
Lets hope something interesting happens in the coming weeks. Something to write about.

Two Thousand 'Fine and Dandy' Nine

Hello and Happy New Year! It's been a while since I've blogged about my very very interesting life. What can I say, time flies.

So what have I been doing for these past few weeks? Well, I went on a seaweed camp. Yes, it was awesome. I loved it. I was a seaweed expert for 2 weeks, tops 3 weeks. Got burnt and roasted on the reef and endured more wet weather. Unfortunately that part of my life is now in the past. I no longer know the names of these slimy green/red/brown plant which they call algae. Instincts will tell me what can be eaten and what cannot. All together AUD 7000+ to gain those important knowledge, crammed in 2 weeks.

After camp and 6 hours worth of exam, I became a bum. A bum that wakes up at 8 am and stares into the abyss. An abyss of well whatever that was in font of me that the time. It was terrible. I was happy that I'm done with my undergraduate degree but sad that I am now unemployed and friendless in this wonderful yet dreadful boring city.

So after Christmas I went to look for jobs, looking as in searching online and attaching resumes through emails. I didn't feel like walking around and handing it in personally. So I waited for what it seemed to be ages until I got a reply from this restaurant, an asian cuisine kinda fine dining restaurant, and was asked to drop by for an interview which I went. I don't have much experience so any job offered to me I would gladly take. So the floor manager asked me, urm don't you want to know how much the pay is?. OH yea...of course, I knew I forgotten something. You get paid when you work, hooray! But to my horror, the pay was well Shit. ..I took it anyway. Came Friday, training day. One hour in and I wanted to slap myself and walk out of that place. For the next 4 hours, I was hoping she wouldn't call me back, or roster me after this training was over. I mean after all it's just training...I know I wasted her time, but hey while I was there, there was only ONE customer that came for lunch. Fine dining is just not for me. I'm not very proper person, I cannot recommend you wine or even remember all the 15-20 different wines that they serve in the restaurant, and not to forget beers and the many beverages they offer. I can't serve wine without dripping it everywhere, red wine especially! Argh Killmenow!

I JUST DON'T WANT THIS JOB!

But I need it. I need the money because I would like to pay for my own rent and bills and food like any other 23 year old would. So I sucked up and told myself to endure it.

While waiting for the call, I got another interview with another cafe, and yes anyone in their right mind would go for it. Lets just say after the interview, I called up the fine dining place to tell them that I don't want to work for them even though I haven't gotten this new job. It just made me realise how dumb I was to work for less than mininum wage at a FINE dining restaurant when I can get more working in a small cafe. Infact I can earn more money buy selling stuff on ebay......Well I dont know that for sure but it beats serving old rich uptight people and working with staff that would only speak mandarin or cantonese in front of you.

Blah.

I know I should be looking for a real job now but I'm actually afraid of getting rejected therefore I'm just delaying that process by working as a food servant for a while, " To find myself " I say.
Bullcrap and shit I know but life is short. I do not know how that relates to my situation but hey oh wells.

I'm currently waiting for my seaweed results to determine if I can officially graduate in March. I pray ten thousand times a day that I do. I bloody have to and when I do, I can apply to be a permanent resident which I pray even more to get. Nothing beats planning out your life one step at a time.

So wish me luck! I will find out if I get this job and that I pass my degree and graduate in March this week. My first crucial life changing urm event of this year. WOots! Boy, I so can't wait.
