来也匆匆，去也匆匆

        终于在2008这个幸运的年份settle down下来。

        有爱人，有工作，有房子，有车，也就有了一个家，一个温馨、充满爱的家！

These days, I am feeling happy. Talking to my friends I like, watching pictures they took. I feel like we all go back to the life we spent in high school and uni. Memories in high school and uni are not always happy, but we do have something exciting and intersting. Sharing the memories with friends, we laughed and sighed with emotion. Frineds are always the best cure when you feel alone.

Two days weekend have passed. Plans that made before the weekend have not been finished again. Now I work four days a week and have three days free. And I always think, three days are long enough for me to do something like reading and learning, washing, tiding; but at the end, I finished washing, tiding with reading and learning left. Even I have graduated and I still want to learn something in my area for the purpose of looking for a job. It seems there is not enough pressure and motivity, and I do need a push though.

 

We need to take exercise. Though we may have some labor work during the day, the exercise does not come from that way. Last week, I played balls with friends even after entire day's work. however, after taking a shower, I felt very well and was full of energy. And later a good sleep also helped me devote myself to a new coming day.

I play balls with my friends these days. And because of this, I need to bring my water bottle for thirsty.  It has not been used for a while and with dust on the surface. I wiped the water bottle with care, then the word "expect" striked my eyes. Someone sent it to me when I was going to Australia with full of expectation. And I still remember what kind of expectation that is. However, things changed after two years. The water bottle is still the water bottle, still with the name of "expect",  but the expectation from one to the other doesnot exist any longer. If this expectation does not exist, the relationship between them is over.  

I am not a moring person. After getting up everyday,  I find one day is so easy to get through. We usually say how fast time flies. It has been more than two years since I came to Austrlia.  This two years really means a lot to me. I have a couple of memorable dates. Twenty-six years, two years, three and half months... both happy and unhappy. Sometimes I doubt, comparing the gain and lost, am i really a winner?  Maybe it is not easy to tell. Afterall it is an necessity of growing up. Since I chose to go abroad at the beginning, there must be something doomed to happen.  To say the truth, I do not regret the decision then and there.

It's been a long time that i have not worked a full day. I suddenly found, this job is so boring. The all day, we repeated things like unpacking the box, puting desktops and monitors on the bench, testing and wiping, processing and recording, then returning them where they belong to. luckily, I have Leo talked to. We have other two locals worked together, but we don't talk much. Mainly we don't have much in common. But today, they actually complained about the Austrlian work efficiency. I absolutely agree this. They can spend a couple of days on even a little thing. They call it by a good name of following the rules. I "Fu le" them.  Following the rules, in other words, they have own ways of doing things. Work is work and life is life. They won't mix them together. They can enjoye both work and life, which I like it and expect it.

The uni life is very colorful these days because of the celebration of the multiculture festival. The uni holds this kind of festival every year but I did not pay much attention to the previous ones. My housemate told me about this year's multiculture festival a couple days ago and highlighted the live show and free lunch. Maybe I have been bored for quite a long time and I decided to go as soon as I got this news. During the three-day festival, I had two free lunches, enjoyed africa dancing and abriginal dancing, etc. I did not have the chance to sit down and watch the dancing but standing behind the crowd. The meals, to be honest, did not fit for my taste. But what can I say, after all they were free. And maybe they are popular in their countries. Anyway, I enjoyed myself.

 

I am getting busy these days. Skill assessment is still in process. PR application has not been lodged. I can't do much on this. However, some fellows at workplace are going to leave and give us more time to work. The good thing is I can earn my living, but the bad thing is I have to spent much more time on work. I intend to work 2 days per week, which I can make enough living cost and also have time to do something I want, like study, prepare to seek a full time job. It looks there is more cons than pros. But I still have to work. God knows someday I will be out of work.
