It's been a while

So, it has been a while since I last  posted something here, so I just thought of coming around here after been asked by Samuel.. hehe..

Well, time flies, it has already been 6weeks in Australia. My parents are saying "Wow! Your hair looks long now." Haha. But seriously, I do not think my hair is that long yet, but maybe it is for them who have not seen me in person but through skype only. Well, 6weeks in Sydney, and it only feels like it was yesterday when I first boarded the plane. Why does time need to go so fast? I need some time to cool down, set some things straight, yet time stops for no one. So, here I am, rotting at home during Easter break, although I said that I will use the time I had to catch up on my Mathematics homework, but I have not started and it is already Wednesday, in fact it is Thursday already. Well, I need to get started today! MUST!


Just to remind myself, I went to the zoo with Kah Men and her god uncle and aunt and family. I brought along my two new friends, Soo Siang and Shin Yi. So, we had a great day at the zoo, maybe the main reason is the tickets are FREE!! Thanks to Kah Men's uncle, for having the tickets and for Kah Men to invite me. hehe.. Spend the whole day at the zoo, planning to visit the zoo again as there are a lot of places that we have not covered yet. Just not sure when going as the ticket is not cheap, AUD41 if I am not mistaken, but definitely will be going another time.

Sunday was UniBuds Amazing Race, YEAH!!!! Met a lot of new friends, (Finally) too bad none of them are first year commerce students, or we can discuss homework together, Haha. Although my group did not win, but at least we make new friends and gain experience through the race. So, I had fun, I learn new things, I got experience who cares if I do not win? It is fate that brought me to UniBuds so I think I might as well learn something from it, which is "The Way of Life". hehe.

I thought I can work on my homework on Monday, but my cousin came to Sydney, so I went down to central by bus to meet "him", or that was what I thought. It turns out to be "them". Haha. So, he told me to go to Market City, which I had no idea where it is, but I got on a bus and went to Central Station. This is where I found a map of the city, but it is stuck to the wall, so I look through it and kind of memorize the map. I walk to the wrong side of the road and finally realize I was wrong in time, I went the other way straight away and just go by my instinct, and guess what? I found it. Haha. Never told anyone there I do not know my way, even if I am going to go there again now I do not think I can find it straight away, as I was reading a useless map on the way there. Haha.

So, Tuesday is just a normal day, Wednesday is more interesting.
I got up early as I had registered myself to a paid research at 10am. I got there are found out I had only to sit in front of the computer and make easy decisions for two hours. I end up earning $20 for the 2hours. Yet I know I can earn more if I am the "Seller" instead of the "Buyer".  The experiment is about how the "Buyer" and "Seller" make different decisions when negotiating the price of a product. We earn a $5 for showing up and every $60 profit we earn in the experiment is converted to $1 in real life. I just earn up to $12.70 but the guy is good enough to say that the minimum we can earn is $15. So, I got $20. Hoping that another session will be soon as I wan to earn more money! YEAH!! haha.

I want to earn more money so I can save enough to buy a MayDay concert ticket which cost $68. Well, hoping that I can find a job soon as I really need the money, yet not sure what I should do, maybe I might consider working in the supermarket nearby. Money, Money, Money, I need money. Who want to hire me?? I need a part time job as I need the money! Seriously, there are so many things that I wanted to buy. I need a JOB!!!

So, I think that is for now. I might be updating soon, but that is no guarantee. I might found a job and be too busy to even do my own cooking so do not count on me so much. Haha. I want to go to bed already as it is getting late. Good Night to everyone who is reading this at night. Until we meet again then.

if you get a job ah, then you cannot be "yourself" anymore loh... must study hard already

Den said...

What? Eggs? Why eggs? haha.. So cute. I want to eat eggs also. Haha.

Is it? Why I can't be myself after getting a job? I don't get the meaning behind your words. Haha. Trying to study, I am, but... haha.. I will try.. Surely, I must. Haha.

my projects loh...always eggs wan.
"yourself" is laid-back, enjoy life, relax de... if you take a job then cannot so relax already lah. Cannot sacrifice education for money what

Den said...

Ya, that is right. I can't really relax anymore if I work. I can't online as often as I do now and thus you might not be seeing me for some time. Haha. I don't think it will affect my education. Well, that is what I am hoping for. I will just need to sacrifice my relax and game time to work as I seriously need the money. Things are so EXPENSIVE here if I convert it back to RM. So, no matter what, I really need to get a job. Haha. Thanks for concerning.
