i feel so lazy to blog nowadays, even though im doing nothing most of the time except watching channel 8 dramas. got a call from motorola for the position of graduate software engineer, but then i got rejected just after the first question - are u a citizen or PR?
damm, i hate it. they actually considered me the fact that they called me up, but all becoz i dont have PR i get rejected?! well anyway, im still waiting for the reply from immigration whether my bridging visa is successful or not, else i have to pack my bags n fly home!
sometimes i really feel like going back.. but the thought of having to work till 11pm and getting low pay reverses the thought. anyway! since im a full time slacker nowadays, henry has so kindly sponsored me the materials for scrapbooking! i kind of got the stuffs, but since i dont have any creative brain cells at all.... i totally dont know how to start.
had a bbq with ex erica housemates at heathcross, a corner tucked away in applecross. food was nice, BUT it was freaking cold.. try being out in the cold for about 3 hours in 4 degrees!!!

my uncertain future
i've done 3 out of 4 things for my PR application which leaves me alot alot alot poorer. it just confirms one thing, nothing is ever cheap in australia. but i believe money can be earned back later, as long as i get my visa done, i can get jobs. so many graduate software engineers programs out there in big companies now..
been watching kinship through mobtv, many many thanks to connie who gave me her user n password! and becoz internet here in perth works with a monthly quota, instead of how we have unlimited access in spore.. the quota for my place is 40GB with adsl 2. i can download one episode of 222mb in about 10 mins which is pretty fast, but becoz our quota has been reached, the speed goes down to 56k. just imagine how pathetic internet is at 56k!
so in order to continue downloading my shows, me n henry went driving around the suburb trying to use other's wireless internet. we stopped at one house just one street away and managed to get an average speed of 60+ kb per sec, but connection was lost suddenly.. so we guessed that the people in the house probably shut down their modem since we parked directly in front of their car.. drove around but not much luck until we decided to go cash converter coz henry said they have wireless as well. but just as i guessed, they probably shut down their modem at nite.. so we drove around vic park suburb and we managed to get a connection of 800kb per sec! wahahah.. as if we hit the jackpot. it takes 4 mins to download one episode.. but becoz we drove around for 2 hours alreadie, we couldnt stay for long since he has early class today. definitely going back to that house again later on to download more episodes of kinship.. and joanna acted in that show as the promoter for OSIM! so cool that she can act part time..

show me the way
i'm stuck again. just like how i was few months ago, having to make the decision to stay or to leave. i want to stay becoz of the quality of life here, and becoz i love the slow pace of life and freedom. i want to leave becoz i see myself with my family and having confidence in my work.
i know the job market in spore is good, but it comes with the price of working late and lower pay. whilst others have already started their PR application, i have not done a single thing. Having police clearance from both spore and perth, taking the english test, going for medical checkup, finding the right agent and whatnots.
i really have no idea what to do..
天啊，可不可以在帮我，给我一点暗示好吗？

im getting old
end of first week of school, i know it doesn concern me since i've finished uni... but........ it doesn't help to stay in a house of 8 where everyone is in uni whilst im not!
been thinkin of going back to uni again, but i know mum will kill me becoz of the money and time since she's been nagging at me to look for a proper job instead of macdonalds. i know im very easily influenced by people around me.. since young whatever others has, i would want it as well. about 2+ years ago, i made the decision in coming here was becoz i didnt want to start working and i chose curtin over uwa was becoz i wanted to play for 2.5 years instead of 1 year. now that i dont have a reason to be in uni, i want to go back to school..
i know i cant always be playin my whole life, but.. i still wanna study.. somehow i dont feel prepared to start working.. neither can i imagine myself working day and night back in spore. thought about getting PR and study accounting, but... seriously mum's gonna kill me big time if i ever do that.
argh. i dont wanna grow up yet..
