Dorcas House
I woke up in the morning, at roughly about 8AM, but I was having another attack of this headache, maybe I need to check my blood sugar to make sure I don't have anemia?
I decided to continue sleeping without updating my alarm and ended waking up again at 9.30AM. But I didn't get up just yet, I cuddled in the bed for about 20 minutes.... Yes, I do have the bad habit of cuddling around before getting up, that's why I always set my alarm 30 minutes earlier than it supposed to be.....
Then I got up at about 10AM, then I opened my Mac and browsed a little bit. Suddenly I became very hungry, enough to make me feel dizzy. So I decided to take a shower first as I was too lazy to cook, at first I was thinking of going out for lunch.
As soon as I finished showering, suddenly I was reminded of my expenses last week, I ate outside to many times in a week. So I changed my mind and started thinking of what to eat for brunch.
When I went to the kitchen, my roommate has already finished cooking and he got 2 plates of grilled chicken with salad on rice! I guess you all know what I did after seeing that?
Yep, here, the economic theory applies, we did an 'uneven' barter in my point of view. By 'uneven' barter, I mean that we are swapping his meal for my mayo as he was running out of mayo, lol. But I was the one getting the advantage, so I don't really care, haha..... Just kidding, sometimes we swapped food that way, I recalled that two days ago I cooked fried rice for him. XP
I put some sweet chili sauce and mayo on my meal, it was good, but he wasn't sharing his grilling tips for me. Anyway, I continued browsing and had my coffee.
Now back to job-hunting, I am revising my resume at the moment, just to make sure everything looks good before printing. I will apply for a waiting job at Deadman Espresso at South Melbourne. But before that, I will go around the city, just to refresh my mind before studying today.
I need to sleep early today, maybe about 10PM? Coz tomorrow, I'll be having lunch with my malaysian and japanese friends again, but I'll be cooking. :)
I will make some Inari, somehow my friend love Inari so much, so I offered her my cooking. Not that I like her or anything, she's already taken, but she's my best friend. I've known her ever since I came here and she is a very very good friend, she'll support you all the time and will do anything she can do to help you if you've got any problems. :)
That's how I'll end my 2010 August. ^^

Job Hunt & Assignment & Volunteer Work
Hi hiiii~~~~~~
Been so long since I last blogged was it?
Yeah, I was quite busy with my life, quite enjoying it at the moment.
FYI, I quit using the previous writing style of blogging if you noticed, it was troublesome, I did it just for fun anyway, hehe.....
This week, I want to finish up all my jobs in PPIA, only 2 things left, getting reimbursement for One-World-Week (OWW) and the general meeting (AGM).
I need to write a letter coz the president didn't apply for club funding for this OWW event.....
As for the AGM, it will be one meeting to choose the next club president, and that's it~ My job will be finished~
This semester I'm volunteering for Festival Indonesia. I'm in the Marketing and Publicity team, currently in charge of the facebook publication for this event.
It's kind of fun, it is not as easy as it sounds because I need to do some researches for the articles to be posted.
Next, assignments!
As for assessments this semester, it's quite convenient, I have assignments, presentations, and tests, with a quantity of 2 each.
I'm doing stage one of my Auditing assignment at the moment, till I decided to take a break with blogging and web-browsing as well as chatting. ^^
Tomorrow I'll be having a group meeting tomorrow afternoon.....
How about my job hunt?
I've dropped few resumes around the city yesterday, but I think I can't put too much hope on it.....
A little glitch of light showed, there was this cafe where I had my first brunch with my friends, it was a good one, they are looking for waiters, baristas, and chefs!!! However, they are seeking a full-timer, but I won't give up, I'll try dropping my resume on Monday! Hope they'll accept me! I want to get some Oz friends.... >___<
Anyway, I need to resume doing assignment, gonna be screwed if I don't finish this sooner or later......

One World Week
13 August 2010
9AM- S**T! Forgot to change the alarm clock from PM to AM, resulted in no wake up alarm at all. Was supposed to leave house at 9AM. Still got some time to check internet while making coffee.
Luckily got the tram to South Yarra, the train was delayed, so caught the 9.43AM train at 9.46.
Quickly go to Caulfield to pick up choco-banana, 100 pieces of them. Then off to Clayton using Shuttle bus, reached Clayton by 10.55AM. A friend was sitting on the table for the stall, lucky asked her to stay there early in the morning.
Confirmed that all food in the stall is for free. Started last minute publicity through facebook, twitter, and blackberry.
Some friends did came, relieved. Lots of Aussies and other international students coming, they were so happy to be given freebies, everyone will.
12.15PM, surprisingly, all of the choco-bananas are finished. Closed the stall, returned MUISS's properties, off to campus centre.
Accompanying friends having lunch, preheat yesterday's croquettes, ate 2 pieces for lunch.
Went to library for chat, then did auditing web-test.
Went back to Caulfield to return Nusantara's stuff, back home. Ate the first meal of the day, the proper one.
Did some evening swimming laps, tired. Now doing work, one chapter of quizzes, hope to finish it tonight.

Light After Dark
Monday was bright
Tuesday was raining
Wednesday was another rain
Thursday, 12 August 2010
Woke up at 8AM again, surely missed the (going-to-be) replacement lecture that was missed on Tuesday. Oh well, at least not overslept for Thursdays, was supposed to wake up by this time anyway.
Ok, daily ritual of turning on Macbook before doing anything else, such a bad habit. Checking out facebook, twitter, and emails. Got an unsuccessful job application from AESOP, maybe it was regarding the storeperson, couldn't recall as has sent out many job applications via emails.....
Preparing usual takeaway coffee while having breakfast in the kitchen. Been eating this chocolate weetbix with milk this week. As for coffee, using Starbucks cup, it's still Kenyan Style Mocha with no sugar, hmmm...
Like how own daily life is, enjoyed the morning too much and it's already 9.15, rushed out.
Almost missed the 9.20 Cranbourne train if it was not for the 5-minute delay by metro. Reached Huntingdale Station by 9.55, 900 bus leaves at 10AM, that's good. This is the first time that I'm not (so) late to my 10AM tutorial on Thursdays, usually I'll reach Uni at 10.20, but today is only 5-minute late, that's considerably good.
4-hour straight of classes today, the tutorial was kind of boring and confusing, maybe it's because didn't do any revision anything yet. Pension lecture was as boring as usual, but at least Auditing lecture was more exciting.
This afternoon is as cold as last two days, complaints by my surrounding was like the rain itself, drops after drops. Now time to go home, feeling sleepy somehow. It's quite weird to feel sleepy in the afternoon.
Reached home, turning Mac on. No, too sleepy, couldn't take it anymore, it's 3.30PM, better get some sleep, put alarm on 5PM.
Ah, roommate is back, 4PM, bugger it, couldn't care less, just go back to sleep, covering whole body with dunner.
5PM, roommate was shocked, didn't expect that am home. Now can't sleep anymore, especially after receiving a phone call.
Start cooking, saw an interesting recipe, a mushroom-chicken croquette recipe. Took longer than expected, and surprisingly hard. Finished cooking at 8PM, 3-hour cooking 16 pieces of croquettes, deep frying left.
Put 10 pieces into freezer, when about to start deep frying suddenly mobile rang. Was a call from Officework, sudden phone interview. Very happy, will be notified about the outcome, if successful there will be face-to-face interview.
Having dinner in front of Mac while chatting with siblings, then do cleaning. There were several good things happened that will be too long to be written. Was gloomy past several days, good to experience nice things.
11.24AM
still awake, will go to sleep soon. Finishing blog.............

The Rain
It's raining (Again) today....
I was about to apply at South Melbourne and now had no will at all as I need to WALK there!
Ok, so I decided to stay at home instead, wishing for the rain to stop soon as I will be having classes this afternoon.
Let's say.... I'll wait for an hour?
I'll just do my tute while waiting, or doing my work.
Oh, talking about work, I've been paid! That was quick! XD
I thought the money will be credited to my account next week or so, haha....
Anyway, let's get back to what I need to do. :)

Job Hunting Week
This week I'm going around dropping resumes in hope to get a part-time/casual job.
Yesterday (Monday) dropped my resumes in South Melbourne.
The first resume went to Max Brenner, but unfortunately they are not hiring at the moment, but I still gave my resume.
The second resume I drop was for a western restaurant, they put up a sign at the entrance that they are hiring, so I dropped a resume there. But I don't really hope to get one there, still good though if I can get the job.
Today (Tuesday) I went around CBD area dropping my resumes in Pancake Parlour @Bourke and Officework in QV. My friend who is working at Pancake Parlour said that they keep on hiring people so I hope that I can get the job interview soon. As for Officework, they said that they are not looking for a part-timer at the moment, but there might be a casual position available, so I encouraged myself to fill in the application.
As for tommorow, I'll be going around in South Melbourne again.
It's because I originally wanted to drop my resume at Nandos and Coles there, and somehow I forgot that time. As I'll be having afternoon classes tommorow, I'm thinking of dropping my resume there before uni.
I also browsed around the internet and found 2 exciting jobs, I'll call to enquire regarding the job tommorrow. I hope I can get one of these jobs!

This is What happened if you happened to be a Newbie! (@ebay!)
I just signed up at ebay few days ago.
Why? I was not interested in it at all these few years!
FYI, I browsed ebay for the first time about 2-3 years ago, when I was looking to buy a new phone.
Ok, here's the story how I got an ebay membership.....
There is a new release of this packaged CD-DVD, containing music, game, and some kind of drama (vocal only).
I was looking foward to buy this for months.
I usually pre-order it months before it's released, as I've been buying products from this publisher for quite some time now.
The last time I pre-ordered was about 3 months back, I ordered it just one or two weeks before the product is released, and I actually got the product.
Soooo....
I did the same with this one, ordering it just exactly one week before its released.
And I know you all can guess the outcome, they are currently out of stock, the orders they are getting are overflowing.
Oh right, I didn't anticipated this one. It is true that this one will be twice as popular from the previous two I ordered and I didn't think about it at all until this happened, so immature of me.
At first I was kind of giving up to get it.
But when I was browsing the internet, I saw these limited edition items that you can get by pre-ordering! Oh My God......
I can't resist anymore, I gathered all my courage to browse around and look for anyone who sell it!
I found one in Japan, but they don't do international shipments, pity.
Then I found some in..... ebay.com.au! Banzai!!!!
They did overcharge me though, as expected, well, at least I created my chance to own this item!
Ok, ebay required me to sign up before I can proceed with my purchase.
So that's how I ended up having an ebay account, with accidental ID name of iyos3663!
So that's finished....
What happened after that?
Oh my, ebay got so many products, with unbelievable prices!
So I browsed myself, wishing to find a bedside table and a coffee machine, and ended up looking at iPad and iPhone 4!
iPads prices are really pricey, even if they are on low price, I still can't afford it.
How about iPhones? The 3GS models are surely cheap, but look at those iPhone 4s prices!
Most of them are on the $1k band, some might be cheaper on $800s.
I found one BRAND NEW iPhone 4 32GB on $380!
I was too tempted and bid, bid, and bid until it got to $420.
Let's see the outcome in 2 days, when the bid will end, I won't spend more than $500 for this though, haha.....
Will be my luck if I can get this iPhone 4, hope it won't be bad as it's issued. ^^
