Half-anniversary (11th of April)

Happy half-anniversary to dar dar

The day has always been great with my dearest

The entire day of relaxing 

and a lot of fun being shared

we watched the movie together

it was about the guy being played by this heart-broken girl whose ex-bf passed away

The plot has given too much fun scenes altogether

we were laughing at that guy's stupidity

and the girl's adorably jokes and the act of evilness

but imagine if the gf is real

how much pain you have to endure

so much huggies and kisses on the cheeks

temptation drove you to the edge of feeling each other

intimacy...not to publicize here

after all

a day of romance

something exchanged and informed

he told me he's going to move to somewhere else

and that I would need to learn how to get to his new house some time really soon

btw thx for sharing that part of stories about that friend

some teens are rebellious

but the parents are whom to blame

we don't quite know or sure of what others really been dealing with

so no judgement here

happy half-anniversary again

may all the good things go to our relationship

we will keep supporting each other :)

PS: receiving too much compliments tonight

that sure has made my day :)

Untitled, again (10th of April)

• AIT day: starting with this guy didn't know tomorrow is our half anniversary. Me had been teasing him the entire morning til he surrendered
• somebody was begging me to go to the class. To my refusal, I only wanted to do my work. That's all
• Getting a bit slack ass to go all the way back to Chinatown just to get this USB from my sister. He's right, I should have called her much earlier...
• friggin PC was friggin slow uploading all the photos....With the Jap songs sang by all these people around, with loud speaker too, I felt god damn alienated in the corner of the room. Later we were all asked to go to the other side of the room because there was a graduation ceremony coming. Failing to upload photos while being asked to leave. I was thinking of going back home
• I was wrong. Not that much of productivity as I stayed home. Mum's keen on telling me about her little drama...
• Finally got the portfolio part 5 done, and submitted. Next, getting started with my own thing and dar dar's thesis. 
• One new discovery for the day: If I have ever noticed how terrible the English is on my shirts, I swear to god, I would not buy these shirts in China....The design in English is terrible enough for almost every single word, the spelling, the grammar, even the simplest words...Everything is mistake....and I had been wearing this PJ for more than 7 years...
• Another warm-hearted thing: there was this mum having two kids on the train. One of her children didn't want to sit alone, and crying out loud, obstructing people from going through...This mum was trying to shush him. At this time of the day, I saw some act of warmth here when everyone around this mum started to give away seats to her children. That was really adorable. Good job people, I feel your love :)

傲娇了.. (9th of April)

已经不见得有多高明了

尤其在妈妈面前

我越想表现得聪明一点

我越容易在紧要关头出错

今天又因为我吃东西慢

另外出门的时候忘记带opal card

我们返回去取东西再出来时候再次错过了第二班车

typical me

typical被妈妈数落

然后去到c place

被人告知我们只要print payment summary就可

摸索着如何进入那个系统online make a request to a document

帅帅的鬼佬帮我print了出来然后还交代我记得几个月后再取今年的

。。。。

漫长的一天就这么开始了

从讨论着车路线到帮妈妈找到那个水壶

之后在kmart还找到了本想买给dar dar的保温瓶

拿着许多有的没的去counter买单

之后还跟麻麻去cafe喝了一杯hot chocolate

。。。。

嘛。。

之后

之后。。。开始悲剧了

原来拿完summary还有一系列的东西要搞

包括打给ato问了一下情况

被告知right to lodge tax return要从填表格着手

问题来了

有个section提到的superannuation taxable income

我妈到底有还是没有？

ato staff一味就叫我填表assess

可在我还没搞清楚这个所以然前

我无法了解我妈到底le不legit做这手续

之后嘛

accountant第二通电话打响

他跟我说要问一下superannuation company有关信息

就是为了这个

我跟麻麻开始意见分歧

10几年前做过accountant的她坚持说这根本不算什么taxable income

我开始不知所措思索着，挣扎着，在困惑中，老妈的不合作中在跟自己说

我要做出理想的选择，我要为自己负责

为了避免以后会出现更多的麻烦

我最后拨打了那公司的电话

电话那端的人很有礼貌

这突然就跟那ato来了个鲜明对比

人的态度有时真的决定于你来自哪里

一个是懒得理你三七二十一，嘛，一天得接无数个电话，ato staff那鬼态度就是让你赶紧挂电话

再不就告你妨碍他工作

一个是把你当神拜，无论你多少问题，多少请求，多少疑惑，他们总能无时无刻为你解答

anyways。。。不多说

弄了好几回

打了好多电话

中间的细节就不再重复

我得出的结论是

我的耐性是为妈妈做事而培养出来的

另外，谢谢给了我这么些机会让我学会蛋定处理问题

虽然最后还是不免的在某人面前抱怨了那么接近半个小时

嘛。。再不说我会憋死的

你们懂。。

之后好些文章看完后我都有着想写评论的冲动

可就是没时间分享在这里

有个放屁的文章还蛮有意思的

没想到放个屁也能变成那么一个素材，写得那么精辟。。

晚餐就是一直听着麻麻又谈起旧事

她前前后后左左右右上上下下说某些事不少于10次了= =

我已经开始麻痹了自己的听力

我爱我妈

但我不爱她的啰嗦。。

还有就是

我就是那个forgetful me

我竟然忘记了今晚社团internal gathering= =

直到看到某妞在group里说她会迟到

我才意识到internal gathering在今晚

jap buffet没了。。= =

最后

dar dar的chapter 1有很多句子需要改进

要如何把东西写得比较书面化

嘛,still a long way ah

加加加加加油~

fulfilling life (8th of April)

所以嘛

那tax return就是麻烦

那什么的

没income的要跟c place报告了

之后还得跟ato再报告

就因为那破letter

明天又得走访一下c place了。。。

嘛。。AIT的一节课还好

没什么特别交代的

就是一直听着diana说着那些历史背景

之后的group work跟一个叫cynthia和洋妞另外还有nelson他们几个一组

做一个layout的exercise

最近看的东西有点多

时间又不够用

就不在这里做文章评析了

反正今天过得还可以

效率还是有的

而且做事非常有动力

大概是因为早上抽出了两小时唱了一下歌

释放了一下这段时间的压力

所以整个人又淡定了的缘故吧

于是我下午变得好有精神

真希望如果时间能多点

我就可以完成多几个任务

还有看到某些人的成就

我已经不再羡慕了

因为之前说过

要把时间集中在自己身上

要学会热爱自己正在做的事

我现在很喜欢我忙碌的生活

还有追求着那些我该追求的东西

生活来的充实

也就是这样吧

Super dar dar (7th of April)

Nan wasn't able to activate my MS

so I still gotta use the trial one 

And I was asked to help him to translate several paragraphs in Chinese for his friends' thesis

In case I did a bad job

he was sitting next to me

we worked out every single sentence together

such an academic piece of work needs two brains at the very least

It might sound so much easier if you do that on the other way around

though at times, we were mucking around

teasing how casual we both sounded during the translation

he was hammering my back with his hands when I teased how bad his Chinese is

I then chuckled to nearly death

We took a deep breath and started laughing again for another 10 minutes

with the different issues we came across from the second paragraph

we once again, couldn't hold our laughter

til the very end

he held my left arm high to stop me from laughing...

Too much fun there...like hell lots

While waiting for my little sis to send me all of her photos taken with her camera

I was receiving bunch of different images and rejecting the same amount of them

trying not to complicate things too much

so I asked her to send me a zip instead of doing all these

yet she told me how annoying it would be if uploading them to google doc....

I was totally out of this

like truly

mum is right

it is not a good idea to work with someone that's already close to you

unless she/he is really that efficient and a fast learner

In order not to ruin our friendship

we have to keep it as nothing has happened but I suffer alone from not getting anything done...

as per usual, she is slow...and I have to wait....

I wish she could be like dar dar who serves me well

he solved the problem I have as per usual

like Nan couldn't look for a legit activator

but he could

he pretty much used the remote monitoring to help me with it

While instructing me what to do via wechat

eventually the trial version was off, like out of my sight

I thanked him for being such an epic bf like a superman who can almost step in every aspect in my life...

thank you thank you *pokes butt at him*

Never underestimate the power of communication (6th of April)

Again,Nan forgot his got something's on

he only knew that he had a group meeting right after he finished installing the MS

No time to help me look for the activator

he left

and promised that he would come back tomorrow

Photos sorting out

files saving

plus heaps of things I planned to do much earlier

was all done

but work, no productivity at all

Tonight, I felt the power from the relationship amongst people

that is when I went to this restaurant with mum to celebrate our Easter together

At first, the whole restaurant was all crowded

a long queue that you wouldn't normally see from any of the restaurants in this suburb

we could hear the kids' giggling, parents' yelling

the bad parenting making me sick...

Mum and I were in the line of waiting

while this woman came to us, asking if we could be seated at the same table

since there seemed to be zero seats

but the food there was really tempted

we agreed with her, waiting for our turn to be called by the waiter

..............

Next, we were finally invited to get in and sit at a corner where we hardly could be seen by the waiters...
Mum was being a bit fussy about the seats being dirty
then again, not liking the food I ordered..
as the wraps were pretty troublesome when eating them...
I was thinking that's why I didn't want to take her there
because she ruined the fun sometimes by picking on little things
letting us both not happy..

I then was forced to ask the waitress whether that wraps were the right food I order from the menu..
The waitress gave me this 'duh' look saying "it is what you ordered, no.42"
I kindly asked if I could have the menu to check what no.42 is
she went all grumpy and despised as if I owed her something
For the god sake, I was rooted with this super bad impression on her because of that
Plus...mum saw the one she disliked who also went to this same restaurant
and sitting just right 2 tables away from us
Everything was just so negative
from people, food, and the minor argument I had with her
....

Until at the very end of the dinner
the lady who was sitting with us at the same table said
if we couldn't finish the food
just get take-away
since I ordered the wrong thing and caused us order a little bit more than we could actually eat
her words were really comforting

Then this waitress who gave me this dirty face much earlier smiled at us all in a sudden as she walked past
Maybe she has heard us talking about how rude she was before that
and I never had realised she might understand
because when I go cranky
I say what I want
as her and my mum's eyes met
they smiled at each other
mum firstly initiated the conversation by asking if she felt tired
she nodded with a big smile on her face
the next thing is
she came to our table quite often
helping us to clean this and that
and getting us a take away box with a tiny box of sauce
nice enough
with a completely different attitude that she had much earlier
which both the parties had compromised
I, as a customer felt her kindness, and having all her respect back
she, as a waitress, would have been so warmth when received caring from an customer
that power grew between the customer and waitress in the use of communication
is what it should be seen as the most important
same applies to any relation we have in life
we might lack of understanding the ones working their asses off
miscommunication could be the catalyst of hatred and disagreement
to work that out and be friendly with others like we used to be
start with some little things and caring to make them feel loved
the hardest step is only dependent on your choice to go across or not
and we all have learned
to accept, to forgive, to love, and hoping all these coming back to us..

Easter show... (5th of April)

又迎来一年一度的Easter show
每一年跟我去的人都不一样
就是因为这样
去Easter show的体验也跟着不同人的陪伴而变得不一样

虽然刚开始的时候我跟dar dar有点小矛盾
化解了后大家还是依旧照顾着对方
跟往年一样
动物什么的各种farms走了一遍
虽然这家伙的确缺乏我所希望有的爱心
一味就是跟我谈着他所看到的商机
但是嘛，我可能的确限制了人家自由了
他喜欢他的business就由他去喂。。

再者
这大热天的
闷得发骚
之后为了躲避炎热的天气
我们去了indoor待了好一会
去到一个展览着很多农作物的doom
还排了好一阵子队伍
为的只是free food

嘛
还享受了全套的免费按摩
去到tech arena看了一下现在流行的高科技
晚上看了几小时的表演
从rodeo
刷羊毛
砍木比赛
到晚上的飞车表演
幸亏去了看performance
不然某人又要跟我说
Easter show有多无聊了
我还真不了解到底什么才是最有趣的
对于engineering people而言
大概世间上的万物都是无趣的吧。。

PS: 嘛
对不起了喂
又食言了
因为时间太晚
所以无法可以跟dar dar去吃宵夜。。。
