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.

Bracing for December 2010
How long has it passed since exam period finished?
It has just officially finished on Thursday, yet I went through all of my exams a week in advance.
Time sure flies very quickly, it's almost 2 weeks since I did my last paper and it's going to turn to December soon.
December means that it will soon change year. It's always the month that I wait for in the year.
Maybe it's because it's my birth month. But that's not all, December is like a true holiday month for me, there are Christmas and New Year. What I love about my birthday is that it's always holiday whenever you go, so I am sure I am not supposed to work or study during this holiday. :)
Maybe this year will be an exception. As you all know that I am doing part-time jobs this summer. I am thinking of taking shifts on holidays like Christmas, New Year's Eve and New Year. I am not 100% sure with this myself, but maybe that's what I'll do.
The reason is, I think all of my friends who stayed in Melbourne during summer are going to be busy or they have a plan on their own. Some relatives coming and so on. So I guess I'd better earn extra money rather than spending my time home alone.
It's not that bad, during these public holidays, I'll be getting like double pay in Woolworths, so at least I'll get minimum of $30 per hour! I can't imagine if I'll be working full days on these public holidays, it might worth weeks of work! Ahaha....
Oh yeah, 5th-9th December, I'll be going to Tasmania. I can't wait for that, in 2 weeks I'll be in Tasmania now. This trip is all arranged by my friends from Malaysia, so I'll just sit and follow their plan.
It's very bright outside, no clouds. Warm sunshine and cool breeze, I really want to enjoy outside. I guess I'll finish my laundry and had my breakfast before that.

Double Lariat
A radius of 85 cm is the distance my voice can reach
From now on I'll sing around
So please, stay away from me
I enjoyed singing around so much
That I didn't want to quit
The singing continued, and I forgot to stop
My friends around me can sing better than me
"It's no use", I would mutter
While pretending to have given up
A radius of 250 cm is the distance my voice can reach
From now on I'll move around and sing
So please, stay away from me
I was so content with singing aimlessly
That I didn't want to quit
If I continued to sing around aimlessly, I believed I would be rewarded
My friends around me can sing a greater distance than me
Because I lowered my gaze so much
My neck hurts and I pretended to sulk
A radius of 5200 cm is the distance my voice can reach
From now on I'll fly around and sing
So please, stay away from me
So what do you think?
If my younger self saw me now, would he praise me?
However I'm feeling dizzy and my body is tilting
With my head tilted 23.4 degrees
I gazed down the row of houses on the street
And before I know it, they were dyed a color I had never seen before
A radius of 6300 km is the distance my voice can reach
Right now I feel that I can do it
So please, stay away from me
A radius of 85 cm is the distance my voice can reach
Someday when I got worn out from singing
At that time, please be by my side
From now on I'll sing around
So please, stay away from me

Induction Day
It's here!
Yep, I did my induction day this morning!
My induction should have started at 8am, but I misread the time as 8.30 instead and came late which I only realised when I reached the room!
I was quite fun: videos, workshop, filling documents.
I enjoyed it despite being sleepy the whole time.
I met new people here, two of them will be my colleagues and one of them is Indonesian!
Three of us will be working in different departments though, but it is fine as one of Woolworths' motto is "We are a Team" so we will keep on looking for each other even if we are in different departments. :)
And one thing I want to share is.... I'm a member of a Union now!
It's like, employees union where they look after us and fight for our rights. :)
The biggest reason I joined this union is that I can get discounts at major retailers in Australia, including $9.30 movie voucher (for adults to be used anytime, and can be used for 3D screening as well!!!!!) woo-hoo! Talk about benefits, huh? ;)
I'll be starting as Bakery Assistant, and I'm quite sure that it will involve baking!
You should all know that my parent's business is a bakery ingredients retail back in my hometown! Hahahaaa!!!!!
I'll start next week, on Friday, 11.30-2.30. Am very excited, yes.
Everything's ready, I got my name tag and Woolies shirt. :)
I need to get a pair of black shoes though, I've been using my good and only pair.
Hope I've got time to shop a bit tomorrow! :)
Just one exam left on Thursday and.....

Home???
Home is supposed to be friendly, warm, safe.... Basically a place to live.
I can call my house in Jogja a home definitely....
It's a place where my family live, they give me warmth and security.
I enjoy living there.
How about the apartment I'm living in Melbourne at the moment?
I don't know, there always problems surfacing whenever things started to calm down, it's just like the sea where you always have tides.
When my housemates are quarreling, things are being awkward here.
When they are friendly to each other, it seems like I don't exist anymore...
Don't you feel offended that way? They watched movie together, knowing that I am around, didn't say anything and suddenly watch movie together....
They plan to go out enjoying day-off, knowing me having day-off as well, but didn't ask me.
Is it wrong for three of us to share an apartment in the first place?
Yes, something surely is wrong, don't ask me what how when why where.....
I tried to be positive but I just can't at the moment....
With so many things going on, work, study, volunteer.... My body can't cope anymore, especially with things going around the house....
Is it wrong for me to wish that a home is the only support when I feel that everything's gone wrong? Can't I wish that we, three of us, spend time together on our free time to support each other and chill out as housemates?
Anyway, I just need a place to share my feelings.
If I mention this to my family, they'll be attacking with me moving to city is wrong and blah blah blah.... which prove that me moving out from Clayton is a mistake.
Well, I did admit that it is a mistake at one point, but I just don't want to admit it to my parents yet....
I know it's a mistake and I know it's up to me to fix it. I'll try to see the situation first about this apartment. And in regards to work and study, I'll prove myself that I can handle it, be it storm be it thunder, none is to stop me.
Time to go back to study!
