April 01 finally (?)finally I got a job.... well not a fantastic-paid-job but it's a job nonetheless. I am so excited!! This is like a dream job probably to me. I get to organise, planning and get busy and have fun at the same time. Only for a year, but everyone happy :D wish me luck!! now I kinda know what I want and I understand that maybe I won't get the money that I want. But as long as I love and enjoy it, nothing can compare!!! March 04 updating...it's been ages i haven't done update at all...
i think my last add was last october yeah... about my friend's wedding... btw the same friend is pregnant at the moment!!! congratz guys (even tho it's late haha)... don't forget to invite to the baby shower ^_^
so what i have been up to until now???
let see... chronologically...
so yeah... many things I have been doing and amidst of applying TR, i had several interviews for jobs. Hope I can get one. and today i had lunch with my friend and had a great time.... i think i really need it cause yesterday i felt really bad so i really need a break... so thank you very much my dear friend!! I'll see you guys when i'm updating again yeah... September 11 For Kenny and KarinaI dreamed of a wedding of elaborate elegance, [W]hen you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible. ~Nora Ephron, When Harry Met Sally
May 24 cross your my fingers and hope for the bestmy mum just sent me message telling me that SEAWORLD just called and looking for me for interview.... whoaaa.... interview... thats mean i am one step closer to get my internship.... yay!!! thank for Him and Her.................... May 15 yeyyyyyy!!!!finally.... my sister called me, told me that she already booked two tickets....!!!!!!!! i'm going home, babe.... oh yeahhhh.... june 22nd, cant wait....
indo, here i come!!!!!!! May 08 the lowest stage of my lifei think i have reached the point where i don't give a damn about anything at all. i feel tired, sick. i'm mirroring myself as a wreckage. as a dumpster where everything seems have no point or meaning.
i miss my home, my family, my friends, my olden days, and the most important thing: myself. i don't know when i lose myself. maybe at the end of first semester last year. maybe on the last summer. or, maybe, i lost it long time ago but i just realise it now. silly, you know if you think about it. how come a person lose him/herself?? but it did happen to me, or i think it did happen. (sigh) even i can't decide whether i lose it or not aarrrgggghhhh..
anyway, back to the topic. i know that i start to panic now. i haven't find any internship for July (which is another 2 months!!). everyone that know about my internship plan seems want to help but don't know how and they start to get to my nerve by asking how it is going!!! and i tell you, it's not helping at all. what will help is giving me my internship!!! that's what i need at the moment. a positive answer. not just information, but answer. an assurance that i get one. that's all!! can't you all understand that?! asking is just giving me more pressure although i really appreciate your concerns and all :)
also, i don't know what to do after uni. i know that i'm going back to indo for good. yes sir, for good. i can't stand to live here anymore. i'm on a mess. and i need space and time to fix this mess and i only can get it in indo i guess. i need my old friends and family. they are the one who remind me who i really am for the entire semester. they might not realise it, but i need them at the moment. i need to get out of my current 'situation'. i need to go to the place where i can feel less pressure. so i can recognise my life again. so i can have my direction that i have planned before i came here. i need to find my old life so i can start again and i can appreciate my doing.
i also need my church... i miss it.... i miss being inside of one... i miss the feeling of peace... i miss the feeling of light because the weight on my shoulders are gone...
April 28 my condolenceToday William told me that kate's mom has passed away. surely i cant just believe such news. so i asked nita to confirm. and about an hour ago i got the confirmation...
my deepest sympathy to you... hope God always bless you and your family and grant you strength....
The angels are always near to those who are grieving, to whisper to them that their loved ones are safe in the hand of God. ~Quoted in The Angels' Little Instruction Book by Eileen Elias Freeman, 1994 March 22 a crazy nite to rememberi just got back from a crazy trip to point addis and anglesea. this is how the story begins.
i had to go to city because i had to process a picture for my resume. so i asked gracia to come with me. well chooi ling actually called before we left, so we ended up going to city together. well,,,, in the city i had to rush to th ephoto shop but it didnt go well. the machine couldnt afford to help me. so i had to go to another shop. it was 4.30pm already. finally, i could process the photo. unfortunately i had to get it @ 5. because i had to mail the resume today, i had to race to the post office. so i decided to weigh my mail first (just to know how many stamp i should pu). after that, i rushed back to get the photo but the post office was closed already. still i lipped the mail through the mail box. hopefully in a week or two i'll get a reply.
okay... after the post office, gracia and i went to coles (chooi ling was at reject shop after she went to geelong hospital for medical check-up). u know, today i had to cancelled swimming appointment with christine and rotaract meeting with dhika because of this mess. anyway, chooi ling finally met us at coles and we kinda stay there for almost 2 hours. after that, we kinda hang out at westfield before continued to hi sushi for dinner.
after hi sushi, we headed to res and decided to get a trip to the beach. after talking and discussing, we finally decided to go to point addis. thia is where the story got interesting. when we arrived at pt addis, it was dark. no light. gracia wanted to go down to the beach. mind u, it was dark. the stars were the only light. because it was dark, we used our mobile light to give us some light. so we walked doen th epath. the path was wood board walk with fences around. apparently, pt addis structure is cliff before the sea. so it was pretty scary. especially with the bushes around the walk. btw before we walked down the path, there were two or three cars parked there. and one of the cars parked just right the walk entrance. we kinda didnt pay much attention to it much until the person (or people) inside the car lit up their flash light. we were so surprise. they kinda turn it on couple of time. maybe just to tell that they were there (or something like that). satisfied with the sight-seeing, we drove back. on the driving back, chooi ling kinda drove a pretty fast. so we didnt noticed that we reached the main road already (cause we had to turn left to pt addis). so chooi ling kinda hit the break so sudden. it was pretty scary and exciting at the same time. after that, chooi ling noticed a kangaroo.
after the pt addis, gracia wanted to go to anglesea. sp we went to anglesea. in anglesea, we kinda had tp look for the beach. apparently, anglesea beach isnt like any other beach. when we find the beach, we drove to the car park. funny was we kinda drove circling inside the car park. i think we were lost inside the car park which had no car in it. it was hilarious. we were all laughing like there was no tomorrow, especially gracia. and when we headed back (had enough with this crazy nite), chooi ling suddenly got excited for spotting few more kangaroo. hahahahahahha.......
oohhhh.... it was great. i hadnt have this so much fun since uni start. at least this ease a bit of my mind. hehehe.... cant wait for another trip with them  February 24 yumm...just drop by to put some words. Last night and tonight I had wonderful supper. There was a family (friends of Roy) visting Ming Terrace. And from yesterday I had quite expensive supper. Last night I had abalone, mushroom with mussle, steam prawn and spaghetti-alike. Yumm.. And tonight I had oyster. FRESH oyster!!!!! wow!! I think I worked at the right time.
Btw there is a new guy works in the kitchen. Names Adam. Apparently he is apprenticing for chef. Hope he likes the job.
Bad news, yesterday I got a bit of complaint cause I made cold coffee. I didn't know why it had be happened to me. But it's okay. And tonight I got a burnt from Mongolian sauce!! A bit of blister I guess now. But it's all good. February 19 GONG XI FA CHAIGONG XI FA CHAI 2558 !!!
Start from today, it's pig year. For anyone that had no idea what pig year is, it's a chinese year based on 12 animals. And this year is the piggy's turn :D
Actually I should have yum cha for lunch today in Melbourne. Unfortunately, I couldn't make it because "time restriction". Anyhow, I ended to be working on Chinese New Year. Yup, ladies and gents. I worked for tonight. And, I was alone (as in no one accompany me but the boss). What make worse, everyone seemed to have an agreement to spend the night of Chinese New Year at Ming Terrace. Thus, I ran. Well after awhile, it was fun so I'm not complaining. The fun part was, everyone finish at 10.30pm. Nice!! :))
Anyway, we had supper. A feast I think. We had abalon, prawn, seaweed salad, BBQ pork and oyster with mushroom. Great meal!!! I enjoyed every single bite. I think missing yum cha is not a bad thing after all.....
PS: I got red pocket (lai lai si si or angpau) from my boss, too. February 11 belated bday presenthi!!!
just drop by to say that i got a belated bday present from crystal. it's a cute little teddy bear. just take a look at the pic
thanks crystal. February 07 new studentHi guys.. Its me again (geez wonder why). Btw I had my post arrival peer support today. I met three international student. They are Taizoon from Uganda (or India, Im not reaaly sure which nationality), Rutenbo and her mum (Mercy) from Zimbabwe, and Gan and his dad (Willie) from Malaysia. It was fun.
We had 'first dinner' at Rimini (next to Home House). Its an Italian restaurant. I had spaghetti bolognise.. huge portion so i couldnt finish it (though im hungry).
Well, get back to the new students. Taizoon is a postgrad student, hoping to be enrolled in master of environment. Rutenbo is going to get commerce and Gan robotic engineering. not much i can tell bout them yet. Why?? cause i didnt have a lot of chance to talk with them really, especially with Gan. His dad should let him talk i think.
well thats it for now. see ya @ d orientation 2 December 2006 - 30 January 2007Hi everybody!!! it's me again. Finaly I have the time to write again.
So, what've I been doing for almost 2 months???? Everybody, I'm working!!! Working almost everyday. Luckily, I had a 5-day-off for Christmas so everything a bit relax. Especially after my devastating result.
For Christmas, I went to Melbourne and went to Lake Entrances. Nice place. Like it. Hope I can visit again. Probably when I have my own car. hehehe... Btw, did u know that I was finally able to see snow??? Yes, ladies and gentlemen. Christmas morning was White Christmas. So this is the story about "White Christmas in Melbourne: Behind the scene". It was heavily hailling on the 24th nite (Christmas Eve). The wind was blowing like a storm. The next morning, it was very cold. I checked and apparently few snow had been created with the hail. It was fun. We were driving along the street and saw a bunch of people playing with the snow. It was like magic. I thought I wil never see snow. Thanks Santa!!!
Okay fast forward to new year's eve. It was busy!!! I was working. We had to have 2 sittings since many people booked Ming Terrace. I started at 4 and finished at 1.30 or 2 am. And I had to work in the next day as well. Since then I had to work almost every day. Wuihhhh... what a month..
Even on my birthday (January 13th), I had to work. Why?? Cos it's Saturday and Saturday is the busiest day of the week. But before work, Priscilla, Christine and me went to 'the chocolate room' in Geelong. Thanks guyz!! It was lovely. The place was awesome. It was like a chocolate cafe. I had an affrogato (vanilla ice cream and a delicious warm chocolate.... yummy) and Priscilla ordered chocolate fondue (with banana and strawberry) and chocolate mouse (which taste like a chocolate cake and sooooooo yummmy). It was deliciously fun. Then, on the 14th nite (after work), Melissa treat me a blueberry cheesecake (nice but I still prefer the chocolate room heuheuehuehuehu). Thanks to Melissa for the cake.
Skip the time frame a bit. I couldnt remember when but my laptop decided to shut down. AGAIN!!! Sooo.... I looked for a new one. And I found it after A WEEK without any laptop and internet. So... I'm using a new laptop right now. Nice :))
So, basically that what I have done during the time. |
