Super duper cold day (5th of July)

I'm happy that mum had a really good sleep last night with her new quilt. She promised me that she'd get mine next week. This morning, I was awaken at sharp 8 because I had to take her to medical centre again. But this time, we were getting her results of both screenings. Instead of lining up for the consultation, we got our token, signed up and went back home. I then went back to sleep on my couch for another 1 hour. I knew that we'd be late for her consultation. And I was right, we already missed it when I asked the receptionist. She then asked us to line up again as there was only one patient left here. It'd not be taken for that long to wait again.

After half an hour of waiting, her name was called. Dr Chauhan handed back her results, explaining to me that there are only some minor problems around her left hand, which wouldn't cause any danger. However, he couldn't specify what the problem is, as the report doesn't say. So he suggested her to do another bone screening next week. And for another screening that has arranged for her. It'd not be good for her well-being if she does them all together. Then he called up his colleague from one of the screening centres, and he told him to get mum to do the overall screening first.

Getting back home, the really first thing I did was to check up my data usage since it's 48 hours of postpone. Then the rest of my time was to read online news, and update the previous posts. Also I haven't talked to granny for so long. I could feel how lonely she is just by hearing her sighs. She probably will be happier as now we can talk to her more since I'm allowed to use more than 500 credits for a month. Oh and thanks mum's new cooking method for spaghetti. Btw it's time to get something started :)

Kiddy couple (4th of July)

Another day with my panpan, who served me well in every manner ;) My loving hubbie cook me a bowl of spicy noodle at 1 or 2ish, and this korara felt so warm having it on his bed. Wonderful taste of bf''s cooking and his warm hug with his arms wrapped around me, was such one of the best moments of the day. >3<

And we decided to have our meal at Chatswood, where I suggested to eat at that Korean restaurant. It's the one I've always wanted to go when I walk past after my tutoring. The dish was chosen to be the best combo on the menu, because the price is ok-ish for a large seafood hotpot. I believe panpan wasn't that full that night. But as a fatty as I am, I ate everything as I was given, including the side dishes in front of me. The Korean traditional beverage-cinnamon drink tasted oddly good. If I don't remember it wrong, it was my first time ever tasted cinnamon in my life. 

Panpan seriously wanted to make this fatty even fatter though. Having desserts after meal isn't really a good idea honestly, I could feel that my waist has gained a few inches because of that...o3o Well...but I have to say, life is really full of choices between gain and loss. Temptation got me there, how can I say no to those three scoops of ice-cream?

Also, I was flying like a birdie on panpan's back as he lifted me up and piggybacked me all the way back to the train station. I noticed how people gave this weird stares looking at either of us, or both of us having our fun there. We really did have fun doing something like that. Even the pain I got from my thighs from his roughly grabbing, wasn't ruining my utmost joyfulness. Thanks panpan for the day :)

DJ wannabe (3rd of July)

Awesome day out with mum to get her new quilt and quilt cover in Myer at St James. She has spent a lot these days to my estimation. Most of the items she bought were luxurious goods. I never feel any different though we are still experiencing sort of a financial crisis in our family, she still wants to make the best home for us in keeping comfortableness.

To pick the pure cotton quilt, it has taken a huge amount of time for her to decide which one to get. I asked that lady so many questions that mum urged me to ask, including some technical questions that I seriously think she went too deep about it. Buying products with mum could be a hard time. Each and every time she wants to get something, she needs to compare everything by walking a few times between shops, to ensure the product she purchases is the best out of them. And I do not dare to complain if I find it annoying sometimes. Well, I know the only way to get both of us happy is to have less complaining, and as much enthusiasm as her to shop around, and ask questions she wants to know. 

But yes, I've been happy all day long. I had my chicken fried rice, skyrocket tard, two boxes of Jap salad and a super large size of chocolate sundae with crunchy biscuits. Plus I could pick three flavours for my ice-cream. What else can I ask for?

Also, my eyes went O3O when I visited JB hi fi. I mean, OMGG.....There is this section preferably for all the professional DJs or DJs wannabe, is just AWESOMEEEE...I finally saw remix equipment in real right in my face >3< I swear I will go back there some time to have a look at them more >3< So the following images are the ones I took...ENJOY!!

Like a girl (2nd of July)

Again, I went to medical centre with mum to get her internal examination done in the early morning. The lady doctor was so nice that cheered her up a bit. It wasn't that scary or painful to do such an examination. It was only one of those cases that seem scarier when we think about it.

Nothing much to say here. After we came back from the medical centre, I searched for this Crayon pop, the most recent Korean girl's band that goes viral. I found their choreography so cute and unique.

And oh this video shared from panpan, is about this phrase 'like a girl', should not be an insult of literally 'acting like a girl'. That being said, girls are not vulnerable as we think they are, they are equally having right, power, strength in their lives. I totally like this video because the comparison they make between teens and adults, are one of the most clear reflection to depict how each of them act in regards to their own perspective when they hear the phrase.

bb's one stubborn kiddy >.> His little heart is once again shattered. So this will take some time for him to sleep it off...

Much productivity (1st of July)

I got a few things done in the first day of July. One of them is to finally change my plan. Now I've got 500 credits monthly plus 1G data usage. This package is so much more ideal than the one I used. I talked to that lady so much before signing that contract. Anyways, feel free to call or text :)

Also her two screenings were going well. The dr said it wouldn't be a big problem with her left hand. I really found that medical imaging is a top one in Sydney when they don't just simply examine your body parts. Prior to get everything done, they asked you so many questions.

Also, I went to have a look at that technology with mum after all these. I really admire those people who could promote their products quite well within 15 minutes when all they do is to suggest, persuade and promote even more. But mum is an experienced buyer, she told me what is false and true after we left that shop. Even though she did have this intention to buy that product, she didn't instantly get it. She told me to wait til next week or next month to see if the price goes down. I am not saying what product this is. Keep it quiet now :)

Be one fatty korara (30th of June)

I felt that I'm much closer to Nan nowadays than the others in the same group, because he has helped me a lot these days. I was even trying to figure out a right way to talk to Sam, whom I haven't seen for nearly a year since he went Melbourne. He gave me this strange feeling once I saw him, whereas a year ago, he was one of my best mates ever that I shared so much with him online. Including the ones that I don't think I'd tell others. Time really has changed everyone, whether you accept or not.

Though we were being a little bit awkward before the movie started, I chose a seat right in the middle of the row. Sam came to sit next to me instead of sitting next to Nan, so I pretty much separated two guys by sitting in the middle. He even grabbed a big pack of popcorn for me as I wanted, but I didn't ask for a large one...Transformer 4 is really a movie that feeds your satisfaction with lots of effects-driven actions. The epic battle and race scenes are primarily part of this incredibility. The only imperfection is that it's hardly to take seriously on a narrative level.

After the movie, it was time for a great hot pot. Nan and Sam had their guys' talk, about the recent soccer competitions, new online games and such. I didn't interrupt them at all. Lucky the whole time we were having hot pot so I could enjoy my meal to the max. I didn't know my appetite tonight would be that great. Nearly most of the meat they ordered was eaten by me, this little girl. Nan, on the other hand, stopped eating for nearly an hour, saying how bloated he felt, how disgusted he felt towards the meat in front of him. Sam and I continued eating a few huge dishes of vegies. Yes, after this time, Nan named me as one of greatest eaters he has ever seen among all his friends so far. I guess eating too much really ruined my feminine image o3o...

Tree top adventure & Farewell dinner (29th of June)

Geezzz...After a few weeks of hectic life, I finally get to write up this blog post without any sort of interruption. This day has been the greatest in my holidays so far. Without pointing out there were two events held at the same day, isn't tree top adventure park enough to get you excited in the first place?

I really found that hell lots of fun having this trip with almost a bunch of strangers, and ended up knowing some of them. The only guy I knew from the beginning is Hongyi, who has been informing me every detail of this upcoming event. In the early morning, he was also the first person I met at IGA. I was surprised that I was actually the second person arrived there. Saying how late I am to whichever event I go, I'd say that was such an improvement to be on time. They all have known each other for almost a year or so, I didn't feel I was involved til this person, Jonathan walked up to me and introduced himself, as well as Hongyi's cousin Jeffrey sat next to me and telling me how scary tree top adventure is going to be like. During the long trip to get there, I was in Hongyi's car, sitting at the back with Jeffrey, who seemed a bit sleepy. I had my nap for almost an hour as well. Another two cars were going ahead of Hongyi's, because he needed someone to lead his way. Anyways, I didn't know who else was coming today, so I guess there must be our dearest president Sharon and the rest of the executives.

GPS isn't accurate all the time, and it happened today. Hongyi's GPS has made him even harder to look for the entry in that half an hour going around after one traffic jam caused the lost between three cars, he had to find his own way to get to another entry since the one that is supposedly to get in, is now blocked. His cousin made a few calls, another executive has sent him an image of their GPS. It was too weird that the GPS never led us to the right entry but trolling us all around, until this person, another executive asked him to follow his image, the path where it is seen to be misleading, is literally the right way to get there. Yes, it was really JUST the beginning of the adventure...

We put everything in the cars, including our personal belongings such as phone and watch. But then again, the assistant there recommended us to leave everything from our pockets as well. Also, any types of accessories have to been taken off. Including one of my friends' necklace, the one that he claimed it has been with him for almost 15 years lool Now it's the first time to leave it with somebody else. He had this goodbye kiss to his necklace as if they'd never see each other again, everyone else was laughing at how he's attached to it>.> In fact, I do get how he felt, as all my bracelets, including the rubber bands, are not allowed to be with me. Not to mention that my 100 bucks is also needed to put in a box...=3=

So my tree climbing journey has begun with a black badass cross mark on my hand, is used for the same function as an entry ticket or some sort lol Then the wearable helmet and gears all tightened up to ensure our safety, the trainer taught us the basic rules to avoid our collision when we climb. As safe as it sounds, the hook and the lock make the perfect match in this case. Why is that? Because the lock won't be unlocked until you get the hook up onto the magnet string. So to do that, both of the huge magnet thingy carry both roles of lock and hook for us to repeatedly going forward on the top. They've got these 4 levels to complete. Everyone has to start from the easiest one, which isn't easy at all when you are more than 20 meters away from the ground. Sometimes looking at how far you are away from the end, in which cost you at least 40 minutes to walk through without anyone's help. All you can do is to keep encouraging yourself not to be scared. Especially to me, who isn't close to anyone in the group. But I picked this challenge, and I got to accept everything that was coming.

I didn't know I could be that brave when all the girls were lining up at the back, and I pushed myself to be the second female, and fifth person out of the group to start climbing. I mean, out of a 12 or 13 people today, 5 girls including me, I really felt proud of myself to overcome my problem by making the first step. I didn't know it'd be even scarier when you actually experienced it. There was a few times where I was so much struggling to take my step off the platform, especially this first scariest walking path where there is only a rope between two platforms, you have to hold the rope in the air to balance yourself to get through. My hands have gone trembling a lot, even the person behind me knew how scared I was. Yet, it was impossible to get down once you start to take it to the end. I remember I was almost crying in front of that human resource coordinator who was all the way supporting me. He even lifted me up for one time to get my hook up on the string. He was there comforting me to slow down, don't look down and all that. All thanks to him, which I slowly reached the flying pan of level 1, and getting started with level 2.

My level 2 journey was less scarier, but much harder with lots of gripping, balancing, and more. There was this 8-meter web required you to climb from this side to another side in order to get to the next platform. It might sound easy than do. I mean, reason why I've overcome my problem is that solid objects are much easier to keep that balance as you step on it, no matter how insecure you feel, they hold your weight. However, for something like web which isn't fully attached to the edge of the platform, and it swings all the way through, is so much harder by gripping it tight with more force...It wasn't a great experience for me though I made it because I even tripped myself in the air halfway through it, then it left me literally hanging in the air for a few seconds...But lucky I survived all the way to the end of level 2 with the pain of my palms and some new bruises I got from banging my legs to the metal strings for couple times in accident.

So two hours have passed in this breath-taking journey of mine. Some did level 3, and some didn't. I didn't either due to the fact that my hands were just hurting so bad. Level 4 was close at 4-ish, so nobody got to try it at the end. I guess my greatest achievement for the day was accomplishing 2 levels like most of the people here. The peeps who had reached the end of level 3 were waiting for the ones who were on the other end ready for the flying pan. Once they were soon to be close to the end, the rest of us were all opening our arms to give each of them a warm hug. More importantly is that they needed a push to go uphill so the guys were being quite retarded sexually groping each other's butt for fun when indeed, they were trying to help.

After a day of climbing trees, we all felt exhausted. Hongyi suggested to take a few group photos before we headed back to Central. And another person even asked us to stay for a bit to have our half an hour of picnic time. Though I was really in a rush to attend my friend Joyce's farewell dinner, I waited for Hongyi and another two guys to finish their food first.

It took more than an hour to get back to where we are from, and the three of us at the back were all slowly falling asleep. By the time we all woke up, we were nearly there at Central. I quickly got off from the car after thanked Hongyi for the trip, only found out there is a trackwork at Illawara line when Babara and Jeffrey told me. Jeffrey then walked me to the bus stop, and went back to his line where he could get on the express one.

Another 40 minutes of travelling on the bus while having my box of fruits left today. I finally arrived at Allawah hotel, walked in and found those two huge long tables with more than 40 people sitting around, Joyce was in the middle chatting with her mates at that time. She was quite happy seeing me finally arrived to her party. She then approached me and asked how the tree adventure park was, which she was supposedly to go as well but she didn't due to her flight the next morning. I was warmly welcomed as she put me to sit with a few of her best friends from high school, as well as her best friend in church who seems to be super nice having this talk about love and forgiveness. Her church friend Jessie had a light talk with me about studies and ideal job etc. Then Jen, this girl was quite interested in what I am studying once Joyce told her about my major-media. She stuck with me all night long exchanging the ideas with me of how to make videos and all. And I ordered this chicken schnitzel dish, a huge one with lots of vegies around it. The girl next to me had been seeking for advice from Joyce's church friend so they went to another table and had their own time talking so deep about the issues.

I was dragged by Joyce, who also has this innate trait of being sheer retarded, to take weird photos together.  I saw how busy she had to talk to each person in turn. But even so, she didn't forget about me, this new friend who she only met for 5 times including tonight lol I was glad that she came to me for a few times asking me how this and that, taking quite a few photos with me, especially getting me involved to one of her most special photos, the one with Jen and I drinking this vodka together.

Joyce is really a lovely person I've ever known in uni. I'll miss her so much and looking forward to seeing her again next year :) Thanks for her gift-the little booklet which she made it by herself :3 It's just so sweet to make everyone happy. Particularly the letter at the back has brought me back with a lot of feels that I was once felt the same...It's been so good for the night. Hope she will have her good time in the US...PH will be waiting for you to come back!!
