19th Monthsary (9th of August)

So panpan would like to have gentle kisses today because the ulcers in his mouth caused him lots of pain...Also bb boo does know heaps of people in Burwood. Seeing him to greet with different people once in every minute is such something facepalmable to discover...As if he's showing how popular he is in his kingdom. Le burger king...

Our journey to Newtown today was such a success. Except that I didn't get to try my watermelon cake that I crave for long...so long...I still can't tick off that from my list yet..And we ended up having another cake from there. Indeed book people are quite charming in a way. I actually found their intent faces quite attractive when choosing the ones they like among mountains of books from book store, like the one sitting next to me who brought back with 5 books. That happiness I saw from his face as though an innocent child discovered his treasures from somewhere redundant. He then told me so much about his love for books, and the good condition of books they have kept as well as the authors, everything that has something to do with books. Unfortunately I wasn't born here so I don't know much about English literature. But I'd love to know more. So I borrowed one of the books he just bought. More importantly is that he got to talk to the book seller for almost half an hour. They have been enjoying exchanging and sharing their book stories during the time when I was reading through some good books.

Later, we spent our rest of the day walking around Newtown, and walked into this store exhibiting variety of religious goods. The comic store is another place panpan loves so we also spent some time looking around in there. Guess we've picked a right place to explore today. We should come here more often :)

We had our good time staying at that Turkish restaurant having one set of meal for each. I didn't really have good appetite today due to my bad tummy though. In my point of view, Turkish is more of Indian style when sitting on the carpet to have dinner is part of the culture. I like how they decorate the restaurant anyway. I enjoy the view of the mini fountain displaying in front of me.

On our way back to my suburb, he started telling me about his workplace as well as the different levels of evil kiddies hanging around at hj. I asked him to go shopping centre so to keep both of us warm. Sleepy couple clung each other while talking to feel the warmth. He occasionally leaned on my back pretending he had fallen asleep, and I was attempted to walk away everytime when he did that. Then I revealed some parts of my high school memories. Especially sitting in front of that Asian store has reminded me of a lot of things between my friends and I. Though yet I don't go there anymore, I still clearly remember back in 4 years ago when my little friend Jenny sat there with me almost everyday after school. Evil panpan bb boo wanted to take my skeleton gift away (AND thanks for your pressie panpan!!! :3) So I appeared this ugly crying face which cracked him up a lot...to the point that he had this urge to use his hand to push my face away>.>

I wouldn't want to let this person go when we had such a good talk. The rare good talk lol...Mind you that he always creates this illusion of seeing trains arrival at the platform. I've been telling him that's exactly from his imagination :3 Your train wasn't arrived yet bb boo x3...

Lastly happy monthsary AGAIN bb boo...wish more monthsaries to come...Thanks for your skeleton pressie and your books. :)

Recurrent sleepiness (8th of August)

Honestly, I can't take morning classes...Even it was Japanese that I had in the morning which it shouldn't be taken too much of my brain cells...And I awkwardly made a friend with this girl when her chair nearly tripped me over when I walked passed to another table...=3= The Jap teacher asked us to introduce ourselves to others at the same table so I made friend with Ophelia, Dominic and Ivan...Ivan has been making fun of another group member as that guy with glasses wanted to name our class as potato, which would just make all of us sound dumb =3= We ended up having this class name as nekosushi (cat sushi). Yes, it definitely sounds weird somehow, just like what that tutor said (can't remember her name atm)...If anyone ever ask us in the lecture which class we are from, we might need to justify and explain why we name group as cat sushi if they give us a WHAT...We've really got some weird guys in our class aye...

Seminar was not bad. We were asked to go introduce ourselves with other tables later on. Quite a few people I had dialogs with were from either engineering or pharmacy. Especially this white guy who has afro haircut spoke this Asian language so fluently. He even helped me to fix a minor mistake I made in Jap.

After Jap, I called up Karen who was at lower campus coming up to see me. We were talking on the phone for 10 minutes about some random stuff we've been through while I was freezing to death waiting for her in front of the library. She finally came and we decided to go to Mathew's to have lunch together. I then bought her two chicken soulakis because this forgettable person forgot to bring her wallet. To continue our talk, we found seats somewhere in the middle, and she started to tell me more about her disgusting classes schedule and lab classes. We bumped into her friend Stella and the rest who used to be in her high school once we walked out of the building. As I made friend with the three, this girl brought up this international issue as I mentioned about the international relation course I take for this semester.

Karen got her 2-hour break so as a friend, I didn't want to leave her alone :3 I dragged her to my lecture lol...Ok...it was also for my own good as well. I thought having a friend's company would have kept me a bit awake but no....I thought it wrong...My recurrent sleepiness happened just 15 minutes the lecture started, I tried to get rid of that by changing my sitting positions....Karen was next to me jotting down her notes for education course. Only did she find out I was already asleep by resting my head on my headset one hour later...I woke up with a lost mind. The only thing I remembered was that the repetition of 'China' was repeatedly being heard.

I swear to god I felt asleep not because of the boredom I had for the lecture....So I traveled to MTC to meet up with mum to attend her appointment. The receptionist told us that the appointment was cancelled. But she said she would contact our consultant and asked why. After 15 minutes of wait, Leigh came out and told me that it might be the system error and we were invited to go to his office. I told him we had to change the time to Monday afternoon as I have started my uni...

Done with MTC. What is next? She took me to Kmart to get the convection nutrioven for $40. To not make me too tired, she carried the thing around to the restaurant after we purchased it. That ramen restaurant was so wide and clean. We ordered this ramen and prawn balls dish for our dinner after I talked to fatty for a while on the phone. I felt like as if we three were having dinner together back in those old days as he called us at a right timing. Then I was a bit distracted by two friends who chatted with me on fb and wechat for a bit during dinner. Nan was having trouble looking for that tree top adventure park so he asked me if I knew the exact location...

Back home...did nothing but reading a lot of news...like a lot...Panpan finished his work at 10:20ish and texted me. I wasn't mad at him at all but teasing him like I usually do>3> Knowing he isn't going to finish work til 2, we changed our plan to go somewhere else instead of Smash. I mean, you pay for what you think it worth...I suggested to go get watermelon cakes tomorrow...lol...Finally I can tick off watermelon cake from my list :3 Isn't that great?

911 reminiscence (7th of August)

So Tia asked me to look at her work in our studio class. Hers is so amazing by putting her font design altogether to form a skeleton. Mickey needed my help for his poster and concept thingy. He just grabbed me to his seat without even asking>.> And constantly massaged my shoulders while I helped him to do his, and he went to my computer with my account on, to print out his project thing....Pai, on the other hand, taught me something new to edit my poster. The delicacy of that gradual change within the colour range in a circle is super amazing. This trick is definitely one of the best tricks I learned from her these days.

Btw...panpan forgot that we were supposed to meet up at 2. I called him for two times and waited...No response at all til nearly 5...That's when I started to watch the second episode of the newsroom in my lecture. Disappointment+1...

Tonight I watched this HD version of reminiscence of 911 incident happened in 2001 on wechat with mum. This clip features the emergency call received from the control centre, a girl was telling them that their flight experienced hijack. It quickly shifts to the plane crashed into the first world trade centre, followed by hundreds of people's screaming and the phone call got cut off instantly. Shot to shot of explosions and New Yorker's faces were shown. Next we saw firefighters ran up to dusty places to rescue people. With the background noise made by siren and thousands of people's screaming aloud, more and more chaotic scenes caused me some discomfort...Other scenes like I saw the towers no longer stand and immediately collapsed within seconds, followed by people jumping off the building hundred meters away from the ground...Mum and I both moved by the ones who left alive hugging each other in that dusty scenes...It's just so sad...

Unknown happiness (6th of August)

This Wednesday was the best Wednesday so far. For some reason I had this super good mood being super talkative talking to (if not all) almost everyone in the class. Mind you that my assignment is due tomorrow...I still could manage to keep that efficiency to do my assignment while talking to people all this time...>3> Like Gold and Jim were busy doing theirs. Gold was almost finished his except for the poster. But pro like him wouldn't take much time to do a poster so he wasn't worried at all. Jim was also next to me busy hand drawing his visual diary...Everyone was close to finish everything in the next couple hours except me who was only up to half way of those three items we had to hand in...But I've got great friends around providing me with some great ideas to decorate my thingy when I sort of ran out of creative ideas and been seeking for some inspiration. Sad that I was trolled by two computers in my studio class...Hence I asked Gold to sit somewhere else with me...Mickey was sitting in the corner, occasionally mucking around as if he still got heaps of time to finish his projects. I warned him everything is due tomorrow and that he should keep that in mind =3= This person...

I guess I've written a bit over the limit for the concept though...>.> Oh the cute thing is that I asked Tia to get me the A3 plastic bag, this adorable child asked me to say I love her across the class...So I did that in a super disgusting way...Nelson and Carson gave me this weird stares and Tia told them this is what they call a real friendship>.>...Anyway...I followed Tia and Carson to have lunch and found myself more of a massive light bulb...So bright and massive that I felt sort of regret having myself stuck in this situation...But then Tia came to stick with me even when Carson was there carrying her bag and drink. What a nice guy Carson....I would still believe they are couple though she has already told me they ain't....

I went back to AIT just to finish off the rest of my project as I was planning to get 90% of it done tonight. Katie came to my room an hour later after she finished her class next door. We chatted for a bit and did our thing together. With my help of her concept thingy, she soon to get it done.

Resume is done. Next, expecting to have that good news soon...

New to cultural differences (5th of August)

Thanks a lot for that guy who helped me to look for my room for almost 15 minutes though he was also in a rush to his class at that time. I should have remembered his name or some sort before he left though...

And I was paired up with Roselyn in the tutorial. Sitting with a few people at the same table who were also in my tut last semester made me feel...less excited lol...I was expecting to be with new people...But it doesn't mean that Jap was not fun. However, I prefer Fukui sensei >.> Not saying kawarai sensei is not good, but Fukui sensei is funnier in teaching and I really enjoyed her lessons...

As I left the class, somebody patted me at the back so I turned around, it was Naomi senpai again coming out from nowhere. This cutie surprised me quite a bit. Sad that she would be assisting the next class but not mine for this sem >3<

I was going to text Enoch as I told him to meet up after 11. He just showed up right at the Quadrangle area walking towards me. I was like....wow....how could you find me within this huge uni...was it coincident or what o3o...I gave him my book for $5 and we planned to have lunch together later. But he went alone without waiting for me after I got my Jap textbooks from the bookshop at lower campus. He apologized for being too damn hungry and that he had to have lunch first lol...

Then all in a sudden, I saw Ailin walking out of the library. I was calling her name from behind but she couldn't hear it. So I immediately texted her if that was her who just walked passed, she replied me with lots of exclamation marks saying she'd be right back to find me lol She asked me to have lunch with her as we met. We went to this Taiwanese restaurant with all of her mates.

On our way back to uni, I saw those two new Japanese teachers whom introduced by Fukui sensei in the lecture yesterday, were sitting at the main walkway having their lunch. I casually initiated a conversation with them as I approached. Asking a lot of questions about Japan and how long they'll be staying in here teaching. Yup..indeed I picked up a super casual conversation with people...Maybe because I had this happy mood today? o3o

Oh and Ailin and I sort of having this girls' talk before. We shared a decent amount of our personal life especially relationship again lol...Poor girl who also has a flirty bf having hundreds of female friends to talk to. Even worse was that her bf still has a thing with his ex and she saw their messages...Like geebus...SLAP THAT BITCH...(jokes)...no...slap HIM...

Anyways...I waited for Ailin to finish her tut with Sherry while I did my own thing in the library just to kill some time. I wasn't bored at all because my new friend Darren has been talking to me this whole time on fb..
Fun to talk about something such as anime though I seriously know almost nothing about it, and a bunch of casual things like film as well as weather in both countries. Good to know someone from Ireland. Maybe I should visit that place one day so he could take me around :)

After 90 minutes of waiting for Ailin to finish her class, she was late for 20 minutes to meet up with me at the main gate because she was still talking to a friend on the phone. We caught on the same bus together back to Central. To continue with our awesome conversation, media thingy started to take up almost the whole conversation and our chosen general education courses we used to do. She found it so interesting when I told her about the fictional story I wrote for my final assessment. And the difficulty level of a subject is really a subjective view of yours, as I said, and as she said...Some people find languages hard to learn, some do not. She told me that Gwinny found Jap final exam pointless last sem whereas it was sort of easy for me to ace language courses for some reason. Remember the time I almost got full mark for my mid-term exam for German in year 1...I might really have this talent to learn a new language...

Lastly...random enough to text a number of people today. Natalie was the one told me that she might go back to apply for HK university so she has already deferred her studies here... Awww...but but but I will be forever miss her if she's not coming back :(

Monday chilling (4th of August)

I bumped into this rock-star-like girl as I entered the Mathew's building who was also looking for the same media room as me. She sounded like as if she raged or something for going through the building and looking for that room for too long, yet still couldn't find it when she replied me with 'YES!!' as I asked her if she was looking for room 112 lol...Both of us then walked together to keep looking for it. She was behind me blabbering about how annoying morning class is, as well as how she has been here for almost 20 minutes lol...

During the time for us to form group with 3 or 4 in the class, I've found three mates from another table and put down our names on the sheet which Paul gave us. We had some time discussing which week we would like to present and all, added each other on fb and soon to create a group for future use. I had lots of things in common with this girl who enrolled Jap last sem, and did international relation course, which is the one I'm doing for this sem. So two of us were still talking quite a bit even after the tutorial finished. She walked me to the building where I attended my Jap lecture too..

I saw these two guys attempted to open the door that was locked, so I told them to go to another door on the side to the lecture theatre. Then once I got in, Naomi senpai was standing right next to the screen waving at her mates, I recognised her straight away and called out her name loud. She was shockingly looking at me and said 'Oh hey!!! you are still doing Jap this sem?' :3

I found this front row seat (again lol)...and been partnered with this pro who seems like he shouldn't belong here but a much higher level of Jap class from how he answered me with a paragraph in fluent jap to a simple question which most of us could only make it up with less than 3 sentences...=3=

Btw my international studies tut was making me bored because I was sitting alone without anyone to talk to lol...I shouldn't be this isolated next time I swear...=3= The tutor was fun though, he was trying so hard to remember everyone's name. The whole lesson was centred around the topic of international security. It's the very first topic for everyone to start forming the ideas of what the main threats currently around the world are. They've named quite a few such as epidemics in which the tutor told us couple approaches are using to stop it from spreading further...

So I rang this consultant for mum after I finished my classes. He rang me back for changing our time of appointment. And I met panpan in Central who dressed entirely black like a ninja. I then walked him to UTS building where he attended his tut.

The rest of my night was to chill...yes...simply just chilling once in a while...So I've talked to quite a few people tonight. Also, a few new friends were introduced by a guy who has been close to me these days. AND somebody got me into this app to randomly chat with strangers which I tried, and it was fun knowing European from the other side of the world. Apart from some amazing people I've talked to, quite a number of perverts were also going for dirty chats so I ended quite a couple chats...Nevertheless, a fun night to find out lots of unknowns :)

Positive energy (3rd of August)

Rarely go to my student's house 20 minutes prior to the actual tutoring time, but I did today. I told Jenny about those two schools I found for her son, the public one and the Catholic one. She asked me which one is better. Honestly for primary schools, no standards are given. The only thing I said to her was it really depends on what she wants the school to be like because the public school will offer a speaking program as well as teaching one language out of the five apart from English in order for students to develop their multilingual ability, whereas the Catholic school is for all those students who have ethnic background apparently...

Anyways, the first one hour has always been fine. Everything was under control. He did what I asked him to do. No interjection, lots of nodding, seemed like some pretty good signs of a kid's good behaviour for the day. During that 10 minute break, I was asked to draw his face, and he drew back mine. Then I was fully ready to take the challenge of the second hour. All I was thinking of was to get him concerntrate. To sustain his attention span in the second hour is not easy. Just like he started moving a lot in the first 15 minutes after the break. I didn't want to force him to do this and that this time. After two exercises he reluctantly finished, I had a short talk with him about tutoring. To make him feel how everyone has the same hatred towards tutoring yet they still have to do it, I think I was being like a mum teaching my child something more to think of based on a complete different perspective...And it worked fine after the talk, he continued to (at least) think before doing the questions...

Oh and I asked Gwinny more about the internship that I am ready to take. I was told that the minimum of working hour for each day is 4. lol...I found out that I had to make some changes as well for that...On my way home, I indulged myself into a dream of picturing my future life with music playing loudly. I really don't think I've tried hard enough to strive for my goal. The articles I've read from wechat have inspired me quite a bit. Who's that genius having this collection of all the good quotes? I should really thank him/her for that...It really has given me some positive energies in need, and more importantly is to learn the attitude of being a true adventurer throughout the whole journey...Don't forget to take care of your health too...
