Thanks to terrible Australia's weather. I have been sick for almost two weeks. I always miss family, friends when I am in this kind of condition. While I am getting better, I have my final waiting for me on the corner.

Struggle

When you take water away from fish, fish will die. I have this familiar feeling right now. Why? As you guys know, I am studying commerce instead of film now, such as microeconomics, macroeconomics, corporate finance,etc. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy facing new challenges and learning new stuffs. But, If you were me and faced tons of different formla, model,etc, you would want to pull your hairs out as well.

Happy Easter!!!

This week is Easter Holiday which doesn't mean a lot for me for obvious reason, but I really miss you guys. Happy Easter, all my friends around the world. Of course, my family and my dear teachers(Eric, Russell) are on that list as well. You always feel alone when you are in the holidays. Unfortunately for me, I don't have too much time on this because I have tons of reading need to catchup.

Learning is great, but making some money for my own expense at the same time is better

Well, This is one week rent for the place I live right now. I just earned and received for my first week of part-time job at a Italian restaurant.

This is not my first time to make money, but this is my first time getting real money at hand. Nice feeling for me.

For me, Life is about chasing my dream and do whatever I like, not about making money as much as possible. Making enough money for my essential need leads me to have this good feeling because I don't want to burden my family more. Hopefully, I can help my family out in the near future.

Learning is great


As you guys know, I got a part-time job at a Italian restaurant. Even though I can't get too much salary out of this job, but at least still get paid. Not bad at all. This is my dinner my boss made for me tonight. Because of working dinner time for three hours almost every night right now, I get something to eat at most nights. This is great because I can save some money.

Learning a lot of stuffs about service and how restaurant works by working as a waitress at that Italian restaurant. Great experience for me. Today, I learn how to make Cappuccino and ice coffee and know more all kinds of bear, drinks, wine as well.

I am tired and exhausted, but I like it...

I haven't been updated about what happened to me recently because I have been too busy. School has begun. Therefore, I have tons of stuffs need to read, including club, workshops, tutorials, seminar want to attend as well. On top of that, I got a part time job as a waitress in an Italian restaurant. I for one enjoy being busy, so I have nothing to complain about.

My part time job hasn't been as easy as I thought will be because the Italian dish names are very difficult for me. Hopefully, I won't be fired even though I don't make too much money out of this job, but I still don't want to be fired.

The Enrolment for me has been the process take me a lot of patience going through. I don't understand why school could make an easy process become this complicated. For example, We have three different orientations, including school orientation, faculty orientation, and international student orientation. We also have to pick up tons of different lines for waiting everything. How come we can't do all of these online or do it at personal schedule earlier, especially most international students come to Sydney at least two weeks ahead.

One of my class is consumer behaviour. Student manager for admission at school really need to take this class in order to do the job better. The most important thing for new students is getting information about how to choose our classes and what kind of important information when we choose our classes. Everything else we will figure it out eventually during study.

How extraordinary the discovery of Iceman

I went to Australian National Maritime Museum to see Iceman exhibition. Iceman is a wet mummy who was alive at 5300 B.C. and scientists discover him at the high mountain at Italy. It's amazing how well his whole body preserve and how much stuff he brought with him. History always can teach us something. Image this, where and when you want to go if scientists invent time machine?

Kirribilli Ferry Station

I went to an interview for my part-time job this afternoon. The place Kirribilli is located in the other side of harbor and I need to take ferry to get to there. As you guys can see, Kirribilli is a small stop which there is one coming by every 30 minutes. Taking ferry to get to someplace is the new experience for someone who live in a small island for long time. Image this. If I have to take ferry everyday to get to school and be able to enjoy fresh air from ocean every morning. Cool!! After a second, I change my mind. I still love to live in city. If I need to choose one, I will prefer to live close to forest than ocean. Why? Ocean is dangerous. HA!!

Impressive CityRail in Sydney....


I went to Ashfield by train this afternoon. Ashfield is the place where tons of Chinese people who are from Hong Kong, Taiwan, China gather. That is why a lot of people go there to buy some Chinese food at cheaper price. Actually, I found out the price out there is cheaper for real. I also went there to give out some resumes for part-time job. Hopefully, I can get some good news soon.

The main point of this post is the Sydney's train which is really impressive for me. This is first time I take train in Sydney because I take bus all the time. The train in Sydney is clear, air-condition, and good broadcasting system. Beside that, There is good design on seat. Unfortuately, I don't have opportunity to shoot a film in order to show you guys. That's a design every row of seat you can switch to the direction you want to sit toward to. Impressive.
