the 'New' town (22nd of November)

No other words can describe how epic our Newtown trip was, even though we were told that something wasn't meant to be happened today. But due to these two fools never took a glance at the actual date of that, fools were being fooled lol...(Don't worry if you are having this mind fked moment atm, you will know what really happened to us...)

Newtown was one of my favourite suburbs in Sydney. One of the top on MY list. I ensure you will agree with me as you come. Just by looking at how arts, is filled up every corner in this place, you wouldn't want to leave. So once again, somebody's appearance was such a surprise, every single time. I didn't even know he was coming behind me til he showed up right at my face whilst I was fiddling my phone. I bet that he never noticed how sneaky he is, or maybe he did, but he still does this anyways. Thanks to you, my heart rate went up all in a sudden, in that 0.0001 sec where I saw your face was just RIGHT HERE....I went all batshit crazy jumping like a kangaroo towards the pole at the station....Weirdo much? I've always been one...so why I care? I seriously don't care...>.>

Another good good day was started as he held my hand, and we found our way to Newtown, where we had to catch a city bus behind the station. The trip was short but crazy. Crazy couple on the bus laughing our heads off, like literally. We didn't know where exactly to get off. Although that wasn't my first time to go there. Perhaps that was my 5th of 6th time, but I still didn't know where I was as we reached there, til we both saw the train station where more than half of the people were dropping off with us. I revealed myself as the one who wouldn't locate restaurants after I visit them. Asking me if I ever bring my new friends to the restaurants I've visited before? No, the discovery of new places is my life-time journey. Which means, I would rather to go to those new places we both haven't been to, than leading him/her to the ones I've been to. And I also showed Calvin's video to owner, to prove how much work and effort I do for tutoring. Now everything is clear. Imagine how I handle him by seeing how naughty this person is...

The first place we went to was to check out that watermelon cake cafe. For some reason, I felt that he has brought me luck for getting the things I want sometimes. In fact, he really did. Everytime when I go Newtown, I would go check out watermelon cake. But I have only bought it once, which was on mum's birthday a few months ago. Other than that, I was disappointed each and everytime being told by the ladies there, 'sold out' was the only thing I repeatedly heard. And this led to what I wanted to say here, I bought it AGAIN today with Tao. With carrying that piece of cake back to a shady place (which wasn't that shady), it was more of a bag of happiness for both of us, especially me, who particularly was cheerful like a kiddo. Instead of sitting on the bench to share the cake, we both kneel down in order to get a more comfortable eating position. Watermelon cake is one of the best choices to brighten up my day. Nothing can compare to how the mix of Jap-and-western-style cake tastes like. I love how witty he was when we talked about sharing. And I wanted to have half of the last bite, he left that half for me with a horizontal cut instead of a vertical one. That is, either of us would have the upper or lower bit, but not the full taste of the whole. >.> Damn, but I totally love his joke lol...

After we finished the cake, it was our time to walk around the whole suburb. It didn't seem like I was guiding him, but more like we both were exploring more. We found Dendy cinema first to confirm something, then we picked a direction to start our mini journey. Curiosity killed the cat, Tofu ice-cream, just the name is enough for me to ponder what it will taste like, and how it's really made. I got him to ask what I wanted to ask, he went in, and came out with not-so-info info. You know, it's really none of our business, nor can we ask how it was made. Confidential much ey? It's business thing. Not to be an intruder or such, we are just customers lol...>.> So get over it, Tofu ice-cream, is simply about Tofu. That's all we know, from the name..

I exceptionally like how graffiti is all over the place, at the corners, or the walls, or maybe some are around the car park or a quiet street, I kept woo-ing and woa-ing towards this wonderful land. No matter how many times I've been in a place, if it's great, it will always be great. Btw I liked how naughty we were for tickling each other when we were walking on the street, but as we always do, I really found this is an adorable thing to do between us :3

Oh and that awkwardness when he got me wrong after we walked in this religious skull selling store, I pointed at one of the skulls displaying on the table, to express how much I like the design, but he thought I was talking about the nudity behind it, and asking me back why I liked that. I soon went ... with multiple black lines around me, or even my face was covered by them... Heading back to the little market close to the train station, we were sitting down to have a short discussion about our Gold Coast trip planning. We removed and added some from what we already had on the paper. As an inexperienced, I tried to take my role of being a part of this trip, so I really wished what I did was enough to make both of us happy. Well, my schedule might be a little bit too packed for the first and fifth day, so he suggested to move one of the places to Thursday. Most likely we were being really damn seriously making a plan, like a honeymoon...>.>

Our epic time was when we had this urge to go somewhere else to look for a seat from the supermarket. We weren't getting anything from there, but walking a few times inside whilst laughing and chatting. He said it was a great place to sit down and chat. Just by looking around, we could get free food and beverages we want, as well as the tissue or whatsoever to clean our mouths after the meal (in fact that time we were walking passed the sock sections, he said that while pointing at the socks..) Even funnier in an attempt of carrying a watermelon into the cinema later, as I suggested. Crazy comeback from him who's absolutely agreeing with me, and said I should use my teeth to cut it into half. Too crazy to be true, as if we were only living in our world of being douchebags...

Time to go back and get ready to be scared ey? That's what I thought initially. (Not to be a spoiler here first. )So before we actually went in, I suddenly got so hungry, and we went to the IGA next door to get a bar of chocolate. Surprise enough for us to find out, the horror movie wasn't on today when we went back and were going to get in, but later we were told that this movie would be showing next week. The girl even showed us the date on the tickets, we both just went....oh gg.....You know how scary it was to find out the truth? Even scarier than the horror movie itself. Because having nothing planned to do, led to emptiness. Joking, well, it would be if I was alone, but as we were together, everything was fine, and better. We were sharing that bar of chocolate before getting out of the cinema. He said the one I picked was too sweet for him, well, I'm sorry that you didn't like it...Then this guy tapped on my shoulder, I turned around, and found that he is a mentally-ill one who waved at me, so I waved back. I really think that the disabled are nice, a bunch of nice peeps, some are even nicer than the ones without any physical problems. It's true to say a deformed body may have a beautiful soul :) Also, this muscular woman passed us. Not the first time to see how someone is trained to be skinny but muscular at the same time, but we were still surprised to see someone like that....And what made us walk out of the cinema at the end? It was another woman who was asking everyone around to give her a favour for their kindness. That is, a deception that everyone already knows what it is, but still, there are so many people are doing this...I seriously don't get why =3=.....The point is. as she was asking the lady next to us to give her some money blah blah blah, we just walked out before she approached us...

Oh and picking which restaurant has always been hard...Too many choices makes it even harder. We had 4 potentials left at the end, and we played scissors paper rock to decide which one to go >.> Another damn funny moment I had to say here is, the time when owner explained to me what top takeaway award means. (as we were standing in front of that restaurant that time) He was right, it really is an accurate assumption to be made - no wonder the restaurant was empty, because it is exactly like what the name has shown, they are only good at serving takeaway, the title really belongs to them...

Thank god for having a good meal, or a not bad meal for the night. With a word was taught by him, who corrected my pronounciation for 'entree', I will take this in mind :3 Good food, good talk with a good person, perfect, as always. Except how much I hate trackwork happens on the weekends, I love my Saturdays, because that's when I can spend a day with someone..

Newtown I love you, owner, I wub you too. See you both next week...

All fixed!!! (21st of November)

Heaps thanks to those two maintenance workers who came over and fixed almost everything for us. They spent like hmmm 5 or 6 hours doing all those. They really deserved our ice-cream and milk shake lmaoo...She felt damn happy and bravely talked to them the whole day too :3 Even though sometimes she couldn't get what they said and needed me for help, at least she tried this time. I was surprised that she even joked around with them occasionally xD

Good on ya mum, you are getting thereeeeeee x3

Btw we finally have made up our mind to which hotel we'll be staying in Gold Coast. First we picked this high class hotel where it's located near the main beach, a few minutes before he was going to pay online fees, he just found out that was only for one night..>.> Then we had to look for another apartment again lol...We ended up with this apartment called mardi gras where it's close to Broad beach.

After somebody left for labing, I started to make our Gold Coast plan by reading heaps of info, doing heaps of research on restaurants and places we will go to. Price, time, location and all we have to take concern with. Hence I spent decent amount of time marking down everything I should, organized everything nicely plus some preferences and notes I think that are necessary for him to know.

Next I updated my blog posts, several of my blog posts lol...>.>

AND we ate duck tonight!!! woohooooooo xD sorry...foodie Asian appears again>.>

Hmmm I also sorted out the rest of the photos from my phone and saving all to my hard drive, then removed 100+ of them from it afterwards. What else? Hmmm oh yeh!! Talking to my granny for around half an hour on the phone haha :3 She sounds cheerful after getting back from somewhere, glad that she's still the same talking like a teenager xD

PS: Thanks for your invitation Kevin, I'll see you real soon :3
PS1: Sorry my little siblings, I seriously want to see you guys. Please pick a day that is suitable for me as well before I head to Gold Coast >3<

End of uni sem (20th of November)

It must be one of the worst moments knowing your youth allowance got cancelled in the early morning. Checked the letter online and it says I even owe them some money that I have to repay them soon... :/ Hence I didn't even get to finish my breakie but called them once it reached 8:30. Not to go too detailed in here, but I had waited and waited for an adviser to pick up my phone call for almost half an hour, and later she transferred me to their head adviser after another 10 minutes of wait. I was informed that my education detail still hasn't updated, she told me this is why the cancellation of my payment was made not that I don't meet the age requirement (though this is what it said on the letter) but in fact, the problem from the belated update.

Anyhow, everything was solved. There will be one thing for me to do is to update my education detail to AIT next June just for the continuation of my payment received next year...

2 hours earlier to get to uni to study for Jap in the very last minute with my friend Kevin, and his friend Cynthia. We three talked about the grammar points and such. I felt so sorry for not recognizing my friend Shelly before we got into Scientia though>.> I seriously didn't mean to do that T3T...

Japanese exam was totally fine with a few questions I had no idea what it meant, and 6 or 7 that I was uncertain which the correct answer is for the multiple choice. Other than that, everything was going good. Writing was going smooth too. Not really a huge problem to check back everything as I still got 10 minutes left to check my exam paper. Though there was this one minor paragraph talking about direction which I didn't get which mountain is located at the very north =3=...Oh and I was told that chicken in Jap should not be with a small tsu....which I should trust my 6th sense in the first place but I didn't...so I changed that to a wrong answer...T3T

Owner was here to celebrate with me after my exam. We spent an hour discussing which film we would be watching this Saturday. He said he would go for those two horror ones, then asked me to pick either of those. After checking the trailers, as well as the rankings and comments, I go for the one named honeymoon which seems so erotic, involves plentiful of sex scenes with a series of mysteriousness of that girl's twisted psychological state. During the time we were picking, he tried to sound freaky by lowering his voice, and asking which one I prefer =3=...Btw my time again, venting out my most regrettable time for changing the wrong answer during the exam...Bet that was quite entertaining for him to watch my changeable facial expression in feeling happy and sad...

Too sleepy to stay awake tonight lol...Have no idea why I was this sleepy>3>

PS: assumed that I'll be getting around 70/85 for multiple choice section is pretty good. Hoping to get a distinction here :3

Amazing documentary (19th of November)

Too much fun making my claymation in the class with a bunch of dickheads around me >.> lol....Yes, my friends Nelson, Carson and Jim were so damn funny. However I felt so sorry for myself because none of them has got preparation for the class, except me, this provider provided them almost everything in making the model. Jim was the one telling us not to do this and that when making the model of that 4-legged unknown animals. He claimed his as a cat, but we all thought it was more of a dog figure.

I had my private time heading to the food court at Broadway alone, chose a medium-sized salad. Later I was asked by this waiter if I'm a Japanese. After I said no, he still insisted that I'm a Japanese. A short chat between him and I before he served me food, later I asked for more chicken for my dish. I picked a seat at the corner and started revising my Japanese again within an hour. Likewise, Kevin san talked to me on FB, so we started talking about Jap revision and extra stuff we thought we should revise. He accompanied me the whole time til I finished my lunch, and walking back to AIT.

The next 2 hours was for screen editing in which Patrick showed this documentary of mission impossible for us to make a stark contrast between onscreen and behind the scene. It's a really awesome documentary for letting us to know the physical effects as well as the special effects during filming. I didn't know Tom Cruise could be this crazy like a child flying around the tallest building in Dubai (and the world) for 4 or 5 hours. And the window broken story was just so cool. I really like the director who has made this so amazing for us to watch. Of course, I was also having this feeling of being proud of my chosen field as if watching this is something that I'll be also participating in my incoming future. My really ideal job is to become one of them shooting good movies or simply taking a part in film making...

A cute moment when I greeted somebody online. He thought of me as an alien because I typed things reversely. I'm such an unwanted child messing around with my dear owner>.> Btw somebody must go home earlier next time >.>

PS: Japanese revision is done, FINALLY... So much preparation for vocab, grammar points, counters, supplementary vocab etc....hopefully I will ace that exam tomorrow *heroic face*
PS1: Nice talking to panpan. I found him so kawaii as he asked me to return his book :3

Blistery.. (18th of November)

The blisters on my feet were hurting like hell. Using the bandages covered 1/3 of my feet reduced my pain for a bit, but it made me so much harder to walk to AIT. The bandages kept falling off because of my sweaty feet, the sticky surface got stuck on the sandals multiple times and when I was attempted to walk, it hurt me as hell as it was tightly attached to the skin...

In screen editing, we were only watching mission impossible-ghost protocol for the whole lesson, later with some small information provided by Patrick towards the end of the lesson. 

Thanks for owner kindly asking about my painful feet. Oh and mum's caring :3 But she has banned me from jogging for a week :(

Been too into revising my Jap jap so this reminder even forgot to ask somebody to go home at 11ish....sowieee >3<

PS: putting on this antibiotics and such on my feet is not cool....I couldn't even walk properly back to my room. She half supported me at the back by carrying me while I walked, but we had a great time laughing so loud because of that...

PS1: Jap revision is soon to be done

No, relaxation is the culprit..(17th of November)

I've achieved my goal for the day. What else can I ask for? I ran for more than 4km as I wished. I DID IT WOOOHOOOO xD Though my feet start to form blisters which hurt me like hell. The skin at the back of my left foot was scratched off, and I had to slightly doing this toe tap motion to walk back home...

But seriously, nothing much been done for the day. Because right after I finished jogging, I had to meet her at shopping centre to collect some materials with me for my Wednesday animation class. But this is not it, she kindly asked me to pick whatever I wanted to eat from Coles, Woolies and that Chinese store next to them. She took photo for each of my preference. I pointed at this, this, this and that, that, that, she never felt tired to mark down everything. You see how this unconditional love could go? Limitless. She would want to make her daughter to feel happy in every second we have together. This is her, my dear mummy :3

But then again, this has spent a few hours shopping around. By the time we got back, had lunch together. The new food she cook today was the tomato prawn rice, which tastes nicer than how nice it looks :)

But yeh, the only alarm works for me is my mum, but she also went to nap during the same time as I. Hence, I didn't get to be awaken til 5ish. The most peak productive period was when I updated two of my blog posts, and watching this tutorial video with her for learning how to make a scarf in the fastest way with only two arms. Dinner time or afternoon tea were all that I asked for, I mean, food is something that I would never say no...Mango milk shake, my dream curry fish balls and that hamburger with the nuggets I love...I guess this is why I couldn't get to have this studious mode to do something productive after all these. The day was too damn relaxing and pleasant. I almost forget I should prepare for my Japanese exam lol>.>

PS: Claymation, I'm expecting to make it out of another meaningful story like the one I did for stop motion..
PS1: My technical side kicked in, I then started to explain some theoretical stuff to owner...
PS2: He told me I should keep my breath steady so that right side of my abdomen won't hurt during jogging. Take this in mind, I should adjust my breath when jogging starting from tomorrow because this phenomenon happens to me quite frequent, almost everytime when I reach 3km.
PS3: Good surprise to fattie who was so shocked to receive my call in the morning. Either for happiness, surprise or a bit of worriment, he was thinking that there was something happening or else I wouldn't make such a call. But he is wrong, I just missed him :3
PS4: Eric wanted to catch up with all of us, so I invited Corey and the rest in a group chat so we all can discuss when to meet up :3 oh btw HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BROTHER COREY!!

Gold Coast's plan... (16th of November)

Calvin was being a good kid today. Luckily he did all the exercises I asked him to do, listened to everything when I explained. Same as the previous lessons, we did a lot of revisions today. I asked him to write down the definitions of the grammar points I listed on the paper, as well as give me two examples for each of them. Then I told him we would keep practising til he gets everything right. During our short break, I filmed him for making the loops-bracelet for me. He was having quite a lot of fun trying to be funny.

Btw I already told mum about my Gold Coast plan. Soon I would be planning everything ahead with my owner. Of course, I also need someone pretending to be the third person to go with us too. So I talked to Ailin about it. She was willing to help me with that and asked me to tell her all of our plans when the date comes closer.

Dinner night was hell lots of fun. We laughed, joked, chatted, ate together as if we have already become one family. Her imperfect English was one of the reasons that made us laugh. Lulu tried to correct her so she learned something tonight too. He was also really amusing when mistakenly saying 'garbage' as 'cabbage'..xD They love everything mum served, especially the little brother who accepted everything she gave. After dinner, he started to talk to his kids and me about his African life back then. We three were listening to his funny encounters in the forest and all. It seemingly was one of the moments that pulled all of us together, even closer. His kids are awesome, like really. They didn't seem to go against his wish for being mildly restrictive. After I was told that Lulu failed her maths, he had a request for me if I could tutor her daughter two times a week. Due to several reasons, he didn't want to owe me so he said he would pay me with a minimum of 20$/h.

Anyways, I've been talking to owner about our methods to tutor kids. He said I should have inspired mine to know the virtue of putting in someone's shoes. I actually agreed on how he has been dealing with his, but the only difference is Calvin is much harder to deal with, I truly believe. I would try his way to tutor Calvin next time, but I still need to explore my own way to teach him how to be a good boy.

My selfies must have been a great deal of collection in an exhibition of my past for him to look at. How can you deny this when he was having hell lots of fun judging my photos and putting this title as 'how I have turned into an angelic figure throughout these years'...>.> Although I seriously do think that my side face is indeed much prettier than my frontal, he insisted this is not true, and that he thought of both of them are equally pretty, damn pretty. Maybe sometimes I just can't do a natural pose if someone holds the camera for too long in front of my face, I'll always start to go stiffen and awkward which my shifty face will then appear. Anyways, somebody suggested me to take a skirt or dress to Gold Coast for photo shooting. I messed around with him for saying how much I wouldn't get comfortable with that in a dress, he then said we could always shoot photos in the hotel if I prefer that...I called myself as a kuso girl who isn't the type to do tantalizing poses and such, he said I didn't need to intentionally do that, but my own style can still be good :)
