First of all, one thing I like about Australia is that it provides free healthcare services such as the one I went with her today. I have done some research online and found out some facts about 1 in 9 women in NSW develop breast cancer in their lifetime, which is quite threatening for women. So it's better to have some precautions to minimize the chance to get breast cancer for women between 50-74. It was a really quick check-up for her, I was waiting for her outside of that mobile van for only 5 minutes. Then she came out and told me that she felt quite uncomfortable as each breast was compressed between two flat plates on the X-ray machine for a few seconds. Anyways I hope we will be received the result soon...
This is one positive aspect to live here, but here comes with a negative one about Australia based on my own experience with her at the same day. There is no such thing as 'efficiency' in here if you really want to ask me to pinpoint what's so bad about government. And I understand which country I am in now. Thanks for freedom of speech, so now I am allowed to judge the government. There was once somebody told me that everyone who works in that C institution has their own way to process every client's issue. They don't have a systematically universal procedure to solve some problems. In other words, it really depends on their mood and kindness whether they want this issue to be solved in the way the client wants. The only feeling I have towards this fact is as though we are begging them, and it's a must for us to pray for good luck before we go there each and every time. I only assumed that we were with such a bad luck today. We travelled across two suburbs, 4 places only for her request to reduce one hour of her English course. It was rather retarded to describe how insane this was....
Alicia texted me to go to a Malaysian soc event this afternoon. Knowing that I wouldn't be back home til 3-ish, I told her that I would tell her later after I got everything done. Then I met her at the law building at 5pm right after I finished to deal with mum's things. She invited me yet didn't know how to get to coogee by bus so I ended up checking it for her. It took us more than 15 minutes to get there, we talked a bit during the trip, asking how her holiday was, she said it was boring overall. I admitted that I had so much fun at coogee meeting up with so many new friends there though I haven't got anyone's FB, several people have asked for my phone numbers. The first guy who welcomed us to the bbq welcome party was the vice president, he was so kind to talk to us a bit as well as introduced some people to us, two newbies xD...Then this guy, I assumed he's Jamaican, said I look so Indonesian. My eyes went wide, asking him how I look like one O.O as that was the first time I have ever recognized as an Indonesian>.> Btw Alicia loves to take selfies at the beach, she walked somewhere else and left me alone there. So I went to a spot where a few people were cooking the chicken skewers there, waiting for the cooked ones while these two guys started a conversation with me. After I got my chicken skewers on a plate, Alicia came back and asked me to sit somewhere. She's scared of flying birds, just like panpan's friend Fiona.
As I didn't know anyone there but Alicia, I stuck with her. Seeing most of the people were gathering up as small groups, I thought that I might lose this chance to know some new friends if I don't do anything but sitting there. However, another guy came when he saw two of us were eating alone. I first thought he's a Korean once he told me his name is Jihan or whatever that is, plus he does look a bit like Korean. I instinctively felt that he must have been studying something related to business. And the next second he told me that he's doing law/commerce in his fifth year. We then openly talked about how each of us felt about uni after I was asked to tell him about mine. Somehow I was quite active the whole time as it seemed like we formed so much connection by talking about uni and this Malaysian event. He told me that Satay chicken skewer is one of their Malay traditional food even though admittedly lots of countries have made the same dish, their cooking for Satay chicken skewers is still the best..>.> Later he got my number as he asked if we wanted to go clubbing with him and the rest of his friends after this event. Before he was going to talk to someone else, several of his friends also came to our table talking to us, especially this guy who claimed himself as one of the sponsorship people asking me to join their sports club. I was told that there would be a badminton event this Sunday at UNSW, but I couldn't make it as I got my tutoring on. He then asked me to leave my number for him so he could contact me next time. Right after they went to somewhere else, I was left alone sitting at the same table eating my food because Alicia, once again, said she wanted to take more photos at the beach. By the time I was close to finish all my noodles and rice, I saw this guy who was going to chuck his rubbish in the bin, saw me, and waved at me saying 'Hey....I remember you, you were in that education course, the summer course yeh? How could you drop it right after the first tut...But...You made a really wise choice' LOOL...I was shocked...? O.O I mean...I don't even remember there was this person in my education tut, but every detail he said was correct, he didn't seem like the one who made up some crap just because he wanted to know me. As he was approaching my table, I was still trying so hard to figure out who he was, and if I have ever seen him in that class...He sat down next to me, complaining how crap that course was. He even remembered where I sat by asking me if my new friend who I also met at that first tut was my good friend lool I was truly surprised of his memory. Within a few minutes, we soon became quite talkative. His humour and friendliness have made him quite approachable even though he is a foul-mounthed lool Alicia finally came back after 20 minutes. Once he saw her walking back to my table, he stared at her like one of those slightly perverted look appeared on any guys's faces whenever they see a really pretty girl lool He asked me 'Is that your friend?' I knew what he was thinking. I nodded, and said 'Yup...why lol?' I wasn't surprised the fact that he sounded so straightforward calling her soooooooo good looking hahaha Indeed Alicia IS really good looking. Then he added 'I mean, you are also reallly good looking. You two are the most good looking girls in this event. I see others are like....so so....' He whispered to me when he described them as 'so-so looking'. But I found that rather amusing for him to add such a judgement. Insulting? Maybe a bit. Because his intention to talk to me has became way too obvious..So I was also being quite straightforward saying 'wow...aren't you scared that I tell other girls what you just said? lool And you are just coming here for GIRLS...??' He then quickly denied that, and talked about something else. He likes my ring so much, as he said 'it looks so sick'. He even joked about if I can use my folk-shaped ring as utensil for eating. But yeah, it was a really good talk between us. He didn't mind at all getting me some chicken nuggets afterwards. Lastly the same guy who I asked if the food was cooked came to our table again. He just casually greeted me again and sat next to me asking if I was enjoying the event so far, as well as the chicken skewers he cooked lool I only saw him as a laid back type once he started putting his feet on the bench with bare feet. Maybe he was too comfortable knowing new people no matter we mind or not lol But it was really kind of him telling me so much about Malaysian culture. Later I suggested him to look for his shoes because I saw so much dirt on the floor lool
Today was such a good day, in a way that I didn't even need to try to move my ass to make friend with people, they just came up to me instead. I wasn't sure if Alicia has enjoyed this event as much as I did though, because she was the one asking me to go, also the one asking me to leave 20 minutes before the event actually ended. Btw she asked me to join this Korean dancing studio with her. Let's see if I have more time to do that..
After I got home, I didn't have much time talking to panpan, and I fully got yelled at by her again because of my ear-piercing which is still not cured yet. I was told that I wasn't allowed to wear earrings til the infection was completely gone. *sad face*.... Ahh and...sorry that my jelly mode was on as soon as I saw somebody's ex inboxed him. I wasn't rational enough to control my anger. I knew that what I said was so wrong too, in a sense that I put my focus on his ex so that forgot to wish my ex a happy birthday at the end of the day =3=....Ahh...Sometimes I don't understand myself either...
