This semester, I'm only have Thursday as my day-off.
Well, usually that's very good coz I'll be having weekend as my day-offs as well.
It turned out that it's not going that way.
I'm having work Friday-Sunday every week!
To make things worse, my weekend shift is the long shift of 7 hours each!
And that will make me get out from work at about 2-3pm.
On Fridays, work till afternoon, then straight 4 hours lecture, finishing at 6pm.
On Saturdays, work till 2-3pm then I've got some time to hang out.
On Sundays, work till 2-3pm then going to church before some time for myself.
All my shifts start at 7am which force me to sleep earlier the day before.
To conclude everything, I only got a tiny bit of afternoon and tiny bit of evening on weekends for myself, i.e. no life!
Let's look at the good side:
1. I won't be drinking
2. I won't be out till midnight
3. Now I'm a morning person
4. Double pay on Sunday shifts. :)
I can expect to pay my own expenses now thanks to work.
That includes rent, meals, transport, and shopping.
I will have some savings as well.
All Weekends gone, now my REAL Day-off is truly Thursday.
It's raining today but I'm sure I'll be enjoying Thursdays from now on.
I don't care if it's raining or not, I'm going to get the so-called best butter croissant in Melbourne.
I went there last year in the afternoon just to find that they ran out of butter croissant, pity.
That time, I tried their brownies instead and it was really really good!
I'm thinking to buy some again, perhaps.
Ok, I'm off!

Where is the Future?
Today it was raining the whole day.
What's worse, it was very hot despite the sky being cloudy.
I spent most of my time in public transport today.
Tram: Was like hell, I got free sauna.
Train: The best of all, I got to relax as it is air conditioned.
Bus: The first one was smelly as it had no air condition and it was old but the second bus I took this day was much better.
Well yeah, that's all about the public transport in summer, when the weather's hot.....
On the journey I had, I was thinking a lot of things....
What I will be doing this year? In the future?
Good thing that I finished almost all things I need to do, I have time for myself to do a reflection. I was thinking like what I want to do, now and in the future.
I still have no idea yet on what I want to do in the future though.
I know I need to take it slowly, but yeah, can't help getting excited, curious, and scared at the same time.
I'm thinking of taking IELTS again, with aim of 8 overall!
Kinda dreaming, but Need to aim higher and higher from now on.
2010 had taught me heaps of stuff, in a painful way.
I don't want to learn that way, it should be the last.
I'll change slowly, but in a certain speed that I won't be left behind.
I need to create my own future and for that to happen I need to do my best!
Resolution for 2011: Graduate, Get PR, Get full-time JOB!

First week of 2011
Yep, New year means transition of time!
We're now in 2011.
I had my 21st b'day on 31st Dec 2010.
Had my besties threw a surprise party midnight.
Honestly, I didn't though they'll do it midnight.
I just thought that only one person will come, coz he kept saying that.
Well, maybe I'm still too naive, eh?
Anyway, Exactly a month ago, I tried this Legend burger from Maccas.
And guess what? My b'day cake was exactly the SAME meal I had when I first reached Tazzie!
Legend burger, nuggets and fries... Talk about coincidence?
I had heaps of fun even if I need to wake up very early in the morning.
No, I can't say morning at all, I need to wake up at DAWN!
And that's really what I did, woke up at 4AM since I have work at 5AM.
I know it's very early, but I was lucky since my colleague passed by with his car on my way to work so he gave me a lift!
There was only headache on first 2-3 hours of work, it was my first time not really enjoying work there.....
But after I had a hang of it everything was fine.
Then At night I had Japanese fine dining, which was really good, and a "little" bit of sake.
On midnight, we watched firework to welcome 2011.
Some phrases that I could still recall clearly:
HAPPY NEW YEAR
and....
a sweet HAPPY BIRTHDAY being singed with me in the middle. :)
After that I had a bit splash of water, luckily it was only from one bottle of mineral water.
So far this week is being good to me.
I know I had heaps of 'to-do' list, but somehow I am still to lazy to do all of them, haha.....
I had my pay from my hard work at the end of 2011, hard work paid of!
I want to save at least half of it and spend the rest to reward myself.
When? Maybe this Friday will be good, I was planning to do it today but I'm too lazy to go to city, lol.

Days Before Christmas
It is Wednesday Morning, 11:20AM.
I woke up at about 9.30, just to continue my sleep until about 10ish.
I turned on my Mac and leave it booting up while brushing my teeth.
I kept on browsing, playing facebook games, and reading Mangas while having some snacks.
Now I realise that I need to cook lunch yet the sink is full.
I doubt I can find clean utensils for cooking, that is an alarm for me to wash the dishes.
Now I am thinking of having a quick breakfast.
Yes, I got some banana muffins from a friend last night, I might as well have those before lunch.
A glass of warm milk tea would be nice as well. (yes, I don't have cups to drink either tea or coffee)
It's been such peaceful days this week.
There's a bit quarrel, but it was somehow resolved quickly.
And yeah, when I saw the calendar next to my cat doll I became more and more aware that this Saturday is Christmas day.
In 3 days....
It is Christmas Day.
I'll be paying bills.
I've worked Monday-Thursday.
I'll be hanging around with friends on Friday.
Not much, eh? But yeah, I like it peaceful like this, my life has been quite extraordinary this year.
If I wrote this year's story, it might turn into a novel...
Full of happiness, tears, crys, conflicts, and many streams of emotions.
But I believe that it will turn that way for every single person in the world.
I've been thinking a lot these days, like, what I really want in this life?
I read books and kept on getting jealous to characters inside it for their interesting life story and such a "happily ever after" ending.
Maybe I'm still inside a chapter of my life and I believe my last chapter before happily ever after is still long way to go.
Instead, I think such thing does not exist.
But just to believe that smiles and tears is what construct your life.

Christmas is Coming to Town
Hmm, how long has it been since my last post?
I remember posting once before my trip.
Lots of things happened since then, I've been overwhelmed by several different emotions that I did not know whether I'll survive or not from that.
Smiles and tears, fear, happiness, guilt, emptiness, anger, sadness, curiosity, jealousy, and maybe even more.
That's quite a lot for 2 weeks in my opinion.
I know I always fear the future, what will I do if I graduate, and maybe I've been given more time to mature myself.
I've been unstable these few days, my only smiles are when I was with my friends, hanging out. I just couldn't take being alone and started being gloomy all of a sudden.
My housemate? One has went back home to Indonesia.... And the other one? Please don't count him, that's what I always tell my friends and it's true!
Oh well, let's try to see the good part.
This Saturday it's going to be Christmas!
Not that I'm being excited over it, but I just try to be merry as well. :)
There will be heaps of stuff happening around Christmas and New Year, work-dine-hang out, I hope this festive period will help me cheer up!
I'm now writing while having my brunch. Well even though it's 12 noon I still want to call it breakfast since I'll be having my fried red rice for lunch.
I had 2 curry puffs, 2 butter-choco toast, and a glass of milk darjeeling tea.
It's a good thing that I can enjoy a morning and the weather's cool as well!
I hope it will be clearing up soon as I will be hanging around with a group of friend later today. :)

Welcoming December 2010
In December 2010.....
Marking the change of season into Summer.
Result of Semester 2, 2010 will be published.
I'll be going for Tasmania trip with my college friends.
There will be graduations of my friends.
There will be Christmas.
There will be new year.
And last but not least, my birthday. :)
Oh yeah, today I received my first pay from Woolworths, yay!
But the amount I received are totally the same with the amount I spent today.....
Oh well, I loved those clothes anyway, that should be the last time I shop this year, hopefully....
I'm really nervous with the result coming this Friday, I hoped for the best.
If I were to fail anything, my parents might withdraw me from Australia and I don't want that! I just started to enjoy my life here! If my result is satisfactory, I think I'll buy ticket for Usher's concert for this coming March 2011.
However, I'm really looking forward for my Tasmania Trip! Dunno why, I enjoyed having trip with these friends of mine. If I don't have part time job, I might have join them for the other trips (Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide).
After my Tasmania trip, I think I'll work a lot, to save up money.
There are so many things I need to buy before the end of December.....
Iphone 4, return flight ticket to my hometown........ they already amounted to almost $2,000!!!!! Geez.... I'm such a big spender....
Anyway, I believe December would never betray me, I wish an early Christmas and birthday present for my result.
