Has refused to 4 job interview invitations yesterdy and today apart from others happened before, I have a little curiosity about what kind of jobs they are. Higher salary? good working environment? much more opportunity of promotions?.....who knows? Since I already made a decision to work that company, such the sorts of thoughts pop in the head that won't change anything. It is very normal for a common person to think about it, but I swiftly let them be and regard them as positive identification of myself on abilities and experiences I have if those employers want to see me. My rule is who gives me the offer first I will go with, grabbing the one at hand not expecting the forthcoming chance that is not under control. I believe there is nothing that would not contribute to yourself so far as you try your best to do, as such it is quite hard to say what kind of thing is right or not. I have a gut feeling that something I should go, then I go but can't explain why. Like the moment, I dipped in Logistics area for a very short time and it didn't take me long to get to know whether it is the path for me, so just move on as I am not clear what's the next step up. It is not big issue to deal with. Go ahead, no try, no know.

Just came back from a wonderful lunch with my prvious colleagues in IPC at Nandos where serves roasted chicken, my mind has been with them and I very miss the time with them, Jen, Mon, Paul, Elliot.....We had no intention to arrange this get-together, just thought of each other then they intensely invited me to join their regular friday out-of-lunch. Of course, we kissed on cheeks when meeting and leaving. Our friendship isn't and won't be estranged by distance and time especially because we underwent the downturn of site office, mutually plucked up courage, and finally jointly moved forward site office from 2.5 star to 3.5 star that is judged by government. There were too many stories, even sobs, joys we had. For me, it is precious to build up friendship with someones with different culture backgrounds, Australia, Philippines, Italia....

 

Frankly, I was not very open girl and not good at making friends. But the life in Australia is potentially changing myself and making me realise that friendship are so valuable in the lifetime. Furthermore, I am aware that real old friends always get you in their minds and are supportive at any time. For instance, a moment ago I got a message of birthday blessing from old girlfriend Yuping who is in China. I asked her why she could keep it in mind all the time, her answer got me to have bleary eyes, 'you are always in my mind.' What moved words! Believe it or not, there is inherent understanding and feel between genuine fellows. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

Today I am birthday girl. So coincidence! Yesterday was Emily's birthday, just a day difference. Actually I met up with her only one time the early of this year for her referring me to her company and I knew her through the recommendation of Vivian. It is a big and complicated loop, isn't it? Although a foiled attempt to kick off freight forwarding career in virture of some duplex uncompromising point between the boss and me, I knew Emily who is a nice girl and graduated the same major and same uni in Australia as me and her hubby is Beijingnese as well. Since then we haven't seen each other again, it was good that we left MSN account so I found out her usename tagged with '30/8/07-I 27' just now, then gave her a short greeting. I will talk to her and say happy birthday to her.

大学同学说偶没变样，依旧年轻，心中窃喜。回国的时候和niece Andi逛街,有一不认识的售货员热情地说，“瞧，这丫头个儿都快追上她妈了！” 哎，什么眼睛，有这么年轻的妈吗？只能安慰自己道：Andi和偶长得太象了，可人家又觉得不是姐妹，只可能是娘俩了。

What the hell I had another sleepless night. My migraine was attacking me severely and the pain was throbbing and pulsating in the left area of my head, which caused me to feel nausea, emotionally disorder, depress, even to freak out. The disgusting thing is that sleeping can't help me out but intensify my symptom. This disease has obsessed me since I was 10 years old around and I guess it partly inherited from my dad. The medicines I have tried out were Panadol, Nurofen, Advil and Chinese traditional medicine, those pain killers or prescriptions could only lighten my headache a bit, not completely relieve or have a radical cure. The most effective and efficient tablet for me is original and common Chinese-made Somedon, however it has some side effect on me everytime I have such as a bit pant, quick heartbeat and insomnia because its ingredients comprise caffeine. Having been taking Somedon long time, I might get addiction to it while other medicines don't work as headache attack occurs. Definitely I do know it is bad to my health, there is nothing worse than this kind of treatment by taking medicines when migraine happens. That's the reason why I am attempting to do a variety of exercise to build up my body. Unluckily, it is said that migraine links to personal inner mechanism and it might be hard to be rooted out if I was born in it. :-((((((((((((

 

It is 5:00AM and I am still struggling with it. My god, let me see how far my migraine will go.

Now I can brazenly say I am a TV guide. Why? You can inquire me what's on in which channel sometime and you will be given my best recommendation to my taste. How it comes? What I am generally doing daily is watching TV and I've already picked up program I prefer at certain time. I would like to have TV or music on whilst I get involved in household chores, which helps me to do somehings gladly that are taken for granted in the nature of female jos at home but I am fed up with. What if I don't touch housework and let everything be? The room would be shabby and smudgy everywhere. So watching TV or hearing TV is my good way to try to dissipate tedious feeling about menage. In the weekday morning, I stick to Sunrise and The Morning Show on Channel 7 as I clean up. On lunch time, Doctor Phil and Opraph on Channel 10 are accompaniers giving you blooming appetite. After a arvo nap, you can switch back to Channel 7 and keep eyes on OZ series---ALL SAINTS, then turning to American ET(entertainment tonight) on Channel 9. As far as I am concerned, the programs I mentioned are also welcomed by other persons. Additionally, 5:00 TEN news is considerable to know what has happened in the world. When preparing for dinner and having meal, I usually fix on 6:00 news, 6:30 Today tonight and 7:00 HOME AND AWAY. In relation to evening TV programs, different persons, different opinions. All in all, I would say I don't very like the programs on Channel 9 except FOOTY Show every Thursday and Funniest Home Videos Sunday night.

 

I admit that the TV channels I can watch here are so limited, on the other side, I warn you that it is headache to keep watching TV.

I was so sore as I waked up this morning, my body was so heavy and my muscle was very tight, any tiny moving of body turns out systemic sarcous ache. It accounted for 2-hour badminton playing yesterday. With Jack's invitation, we joined his circle to play badminton although I was really not good at it. I would like to participate in as long as it was beneficial to health. We took advantage of two courts and two booking hours even though we got 9 persons in. Male doubles, mix doubles, or singles as some of us felt too fatigue. For adding up rivalrousness, we kept the score and took elimination game. Two hours had gone swiftly and all of us were all sweating. I didn't feel very tired but comfortable yesterday. Yet I has been struggling with sore from this morning......

 

 

Penny and I finally locked in our get-together on Friday in all weathers. On the way, I had to conquer the unstable timetable of bus because it had been 3 days that a bunch of bus drivers had shiftly chucking sickies at a bus depot. What I only could do at bus stop was to pray the lord that the drivers of bus 504 which was the bus I need to take were not running sickies, however, it seemed to go against my aspiration. So I spent 1 hours from Town Hall to Russell Lea while it should be 15 mins by bus.

 

Got to her home, I was really starving. Penny was so brilliant that gave me a welcome etiquette by Italian food---risotto. Wow! I reckoned its looks, taste, are absolutely supposed to be blue ribbon among all Italian foods I had tried, undoubtedly I snapped up the plate. I can't help getting the recipe from Penny and hope to have a try soon. Afterwards, Penny showed off her talent skill,TEA ARTS, learnt from her mum. Her gentle acts stunned me and her explanation on the tea cups with different sizes and shapes deeply caught my ears. She also told me how to smell tea, drink tea and let tea water in along inner cheek not swallow tea water quickly. It was worthy of the name of tea arts. Of course, the quality of tea was considerable to be used in tea arts, so Penny pitched on Pu er tea to match her elaborate tea arts. Had a short-time rest, we continued to our next plan to make cheesecake. Referring to the book, we prepared ingredient, then I told her what the book says at the same time she did. Under the good cooperation, we made pastry and put it into fridge to cool down and did filling by mixing Ricotta cheese, eggs, egg yolk, cream, orange and lemon rinds. 30 min later, pastry shell was done and set the filling inside to bake. It would take 30 mins to be ready. During the time we went out to stroll along the Canada Bay in which is beside her home. When we were back out of rambling, we could smell the cheesecake cooking a mile away. Haha.... Good smelling. We were proud of ourselves. How it look like? You can look at the pics at photo album.

 

What a loaded but fabulous day. BTW, Penny's Chinese-Australian kid Emelie really gave us a calm day because she didn't get us into any trouble the whole day. Thanks darl.

Just had a mind-blowing moment! I heard Linoel Richie singing live on Opraph. Long time no hear amazing music, which brought me back in 1980s, his songs including Thriller, Laoly, Endless love, We are the world.....I truly like his magnet sound and insistly believe his songs are cult music. Although 20 yeas past, his songs still let me crazy and can't help being singing and waving with him. Its charm, isn't it? There is sense of feeling that would not be out of your mind and impact on you at all time. Furthermore, you might have in-depth feel about something comparing with impression decades ago. The older it gets, the better it is.

 

老爸真牛，居然敢锛儿张国立。原来张国立等人看上老爸单位五十年代的苏联式建筑和桐子楼，借场地拍电视剧。正好主拍摄场地在老爸办公室旁边，于是中午张姓名人想借老爸办公室的沙发小憩一下，结果老爸很不给面子，用南方口音跟人说，“我这竟是保密文件，不方便。”于是人家灰溜溜走了，估计心想这老头真轴。虽然老爸从不告诉我他具体做什么的，只知道是研制防化武器的，他上班的地方一直很保密，家属是绝不能进入办公地区的，现在还记得小时候去给老爸送伞，只能到警卫室，打电话把他叫出来。这么多年过去了，那些文件也不至于那么重要了吧？否则也不会让人来拍电视，哎，这个老学究！

 

可有意思的是第二天niece Andi让老爸去讨张国立的签名，于是这老头抵挡不住外孙女的矫情，只好还得跟人陪笑脸，想着都可笑。

The morning, the rain buckted down as I was ready for getting up, so had to tuck myself in bed again.  Consecutive shower has already drenched Syndey a bunch of weeks and should sunny and bright days be imminent. I can't wait for the time that I stroll in the park or read book sitting in the plush couch at the balcony at least stretch myself not to let my exercise plan slip. Oh heck! Hope those can be achieved after thursday according to what weather forecast said this morning.

 

OK, how can I cope with jealous time on my hands at present while many peole are plunged into jobs that they are not willing to do but have to do for money. Firstly, gave those sushis made last Sunday to the owner of house who is an oldie that stints himself to the extreme and never dumps out overdue foods. I didn't intend to do something wrong to his health. If I chucked away those not-fresh-looking sushis, he would blame me and have tearful eyse look at me and tell me how he begged for food as he was a child in 1920s. Definitely, waste actions humiliate myself but deteriorating stuff is really bad to our health. I felt less guilty on squandering behaviour as the landlord was very happy to take a big box of sushis after I told him all situations about sushi. It was huge weight off my shoulder for those sushi while adding new burden on his health. Whatever, just have a look at how sushi effection is going on.

 

Besides, cleaned up trashy mags as I realised it will be out of the question to find more space for new mags stock-up. So I got rid of last year mags just keeping the rest issued this year in case I refer to some house tips or fashion design. The only last-year mag I retain is a book of NOTEBOOK because I quite love a piece of topic related to simple guide to help to prolong the life of flowers step by step, which recalls me the job as a part-time florist girl from the end of 2005 to May 2006.  Remember there are 5 steps to arrange flowers in a foam. 1) Soaking floral foam; 2) Pressing foam into container or box; 3) filling with greenery; 4) placing blooms; 5) keeping flower fresh. This kind of box flower usually costed $15, $25, $50 based on what sort of flowers we chose. I acknowledged it was a period of sweet-bitter-mixed life.

 

The next thing I need to do is looking for job. To be honest, I am not as aspiring or rush to hunt a job as I was two years ago when I ended up with my degree study with strong desire to put what I learnt into practice. Now I more believe that the job you like most sometime is tantalizezing. The more something you want to get, the more time you might take. On average I send out 2 to 5 application on every two days. Don't be astonished. You would say I don't have right attitude to look for job. It should be like emailing hundreds of or tens of resume every single day. My gal pal can't believe what I did and adviced me to try as many as possible no matter that the jobs I am qualified or not, probably one of them will hit the target. During the process of jobseeking, defferent ones have different ways. There is no right way but luck couldn't be ruled out. Should I emphasize myself on it?

 

Hang on, give me one week more to do something else when it always scatter my concentration. What's that? ---DVDs I bought from China, :-)))))) I am going to watch a string of Chinese DVD regarding police stories which are my favourite since then I watched FLY COP(bianyi jingcha) in 1980s. Sooner is better than later. Do it right now.

 

 

Heavy rains finally had a pause then I caught the time to do rope skiping. God damn it! just 299 jumps, the rope was broken at the edge of rope handle. Shit! The skip rope was Bodgy. It should stand thousands of times but it was used by no more than 1,000 times and went to ultimely end. Gee! Its break ruins my ignited enthusiasm on exercise, much worse, what the hell the rope was made in China. What can I say? What I can do is to buy another one with okay quality at a big shopping center in which is supposed to have good reputation and credibility on product quality or to choose other way to take exercise. For health, it is worth to do that. Hopefully, my body-building program will not be fluctuation.

It has been chilly since I was back, mist, frog, drizzle, brief shower, downpour. How long will it go? I don't hate high-humidity weather which is good for drought even my thirsty skin, the only thing stinking is that my today's going-out plan with Penny has to be laied by. Anyway, how can I deal with sushi I made kind of for this girl outing? 20 rolls, that's too much for me to eat out even if half of them within a couple of days. I need a big stomach, huh? What if I run through all regardless of days? I would say I will never touch sushi forever.

 

BTW, my rope skipping scheme also has been shelved on for a while due to nonstop shower. Luckily I've got mat and have sit-up as an alternative as weather prevents me from doing exercise outdoors. Let me do now.

Can't believe I made 20 rolls of sushi this morning, from preparation to the end, which took me more than 4 hours. Big project, isn't it?

 

* 0.5 kg rice

* 200g Chicken breast

* 2 Salted eggs

* 1 can tuna

* 1 package of crab meat stick

* 2 cucumber

* 2 carrot

* 1 Avocado

* 1 package of sushi nori

* Sesame oil, vinegar

 

 Will post the photos in PHOTOS part as a new album.

To fulfil my commitment of doing exercise as soon as possible, I went to store and purchased a piece of jump rope. After getting to home, excitedly ran out of the door and had 100 skips right away. It was staggering that I didn't have a little fatigued but felt full of energy. At one fling, I finished additional 400 skips as well. Surprisedly, I don't very pant and sweat after athlete-like activity. What's up? The body is my body? The legs are my legs? The arms are my arms? In fact, there is nearly 6 years I have not touched jump rope. Remembered the last time I did it was on account of sensing a bit plump up in the winter, so bought a piece of skip rope as a kind of exercise that is not required big space, though I only made use of it countable times. With limited practice of rope jumping, I could have such a good health status to put up 500 leap from the ground. Unbelievable! Good start. I master up to keep this sort of exercise and hope I can unremittingly do 1,000 times soon. WOW! If I could do that, should I apply for Guinness World Record.

 

 

 

 

Michelle and Jason的喜糖一直没舍得吃,想等他们孩子结婚时再吃，哈哈！但今天实在太饿了，手头找不到任何吃的，找来找去，最后只好锁定those wedding candies with super-pretty wrap，had thought to keep them hanging there forever, but......bye-bye, lovely candies. Hope you can bring me luck and energy.

Today met Jessie and was told I have put on weight. Gosh! What a shame I didn't sense it yet. How comes? Thanks to one-and-a-half month non-pressure life, 10-hour sleep everyday, plus intermittent nibbling no matter where I watch TV, read book, stroll the road. It seems that I would rather do buccal exercise than physical exercise all the while. Haha..

 

What Jessie said right arose me to pay attention that my metabolism system is not working as bloomingly as five years ago. Really miss the time at university that I never worried my weight whatever I ate. Sigh...time has gone.

 

All right, its time to do exercise. Thinking of hot body give me the sudden urge to get in shape, then putting on sports wear and sneaker, jogging out of the home, it will occur tomorrow or next week.

My dear, the price of OK has been raised a little in named of being added OK USA. What a rip-off. LOL! Don't worry I am not devastated. As a gossip lover, I've been purchasing OK and New Idea weekly that I can be able to afford at the moment within my limited budget. My previous colleagues at IPC always gave me sarcasm on the weekly habit of buying those trashy mags and I was supposed to be a typical gossipy girl in their eyes even occasionally testing me tabloid page as long as I closed down the magazine. Just like a 'fast answer' program. There was no wonder that  they would love to borrow mags and hand on until the last one on board, as such thay enjoyed reading them on lunch time. Afterwards, Ve chiped in mag-buyer and bought other mag I didn't buy which provided us more choices at lunch table and avoided possible squabble due to snatch one of them. Ahha. I really miss that time at IPC.

 

At home my mags haven been stocked up highly but I haven't determined to chuck aways probably by the time I move out and have to put them into the recycle rubbish bin. Buying trash mags has been part of my weekly life and will go on, I reckon. Why I am so fascinated with those mags might be considered worthless or invaluable to buy by some persons? Apart from concerning about STARs' news, such as who and who shack up, who is  shooting or casting on some unveiled-name movie somewhere, I have a long-term habit of reading something on the train or bus no less than 15 years. When I was a teenager, my dad always warned me to protect eyesight after finding my habit. He tried to head off at the aprouting period but it didn't work. So far I feel very uncomfortable just sit there if nothing could be read when taking train. I tried to hold a novel as well as a great number of Australian train passengers, but I couldn't be more concentrated or appealed than thumbs the trashy mags. Inconceivable mental illness, isn't it? How deal with?

 

 

My goodness! I just finished a  big job---application of Human Resource Assistant which took me 2 hours.  For this application, I had to complete 4 docs including brief cover letter, competence statement, Resume and council application form as required, my lord, I was exhausted and absolutely lost my patience when I sent out. Wow, it was testing my stamina. At the end of last document I need to filll in, I didn't care whether I can get a chance of interview, only automatically typing and typing and expecting to close it as quickly as I can. What if I spent 2 hours in reading novel or shopping.....

 

Since I determined to begin to look for a job yesterday, there is no way to get it unfilled. What kind of job should I apply for? One option is in HR area and another one is in Logistics. Frankly speaking, I don't want to try anyone when my mind is still on the stage of roving around. I started searching from Logistics, which is what I have been thirsted to take although I went through a period of heartbreaking in a frieght forwarding company, browsed on several job-hunting websites and randomly picked up a couple of positions that might give me opportunities. Somehow, it was so hard to concentrate on seeking job. As if I was not looking for a job, but was forced to accomplish an assignment under my parents' order. Laziness must be working in my head. All right, tomorrow there will be better vacancies coming than today, so swith to another field---HR, afterwards I came across that adv.HR assistant which used up my 2-hour precious time. Why I focused on HR again even I made up my mind not to engage to it before? I was adviced that HR experience in Australia will benefit me if I go back China. Yes, taking full advantage of my abilities and experiences I have had, grabing any possible chances in front of me.

 

I haven't been freak-out in the process of jobseeking or I don't warm up for it at all. Good or bad? Anything turning up trumps will take time. You know, something needs luck. Lucky me! God will always glitter no matter where it is from. 

 

朋友们,有工作就推荐给我,无论是物流还是HR,能挣钱就行.

My friends are very concerned about me and asked me how my jobseeking is going on. I feel a bit guilty that I haven't offically got involved in looking for a job but immersed in shopping and playing since I came back. What am I doing everyday? Watching TV, DVD, reading trashy mag, shopping, planning to Canberra, dining outside...... That's slack. God will lash me, conscience will snap me, Mum will hit me, ....:-( Look, today I bought a pair of knee-high boots which I had been wanted for decades because the simply style is supposed to be matched with skinny jeans or under dress. Would u say I am an extravagant girl? I don't think so. Or would you say I am overreacting or fussy to this kind of girly consuming. Probably. Trying to find all sorts of excuse to let myself happy since I was in a certain period of hard time. Fair enough? If I was a girl in my 20s, it woud be acceptable what I have done recently on crazy-pastime life. Although my girlfriend said that is her dream life, I only take what she said as a soothing way to relief my guilt.  No matter how I try to stress out, my concentration couldn't be on jobseeking web or updating resume. Bloody hell! Okay, never mind, tomorrow is a new day, hope I will be on the right way to seek a job. But sometimes it is hard to get what you want when you want to get something particular. LOL!
