搬屋記（七）

已進入搬屋高峰期的第二天了。昨天一早我到 Ray White 辦手續，拿鎖匙。沒想到，經過我一番努力一支支試鎖匙，迎接我的是一個沒法関掉的 alarm。哇~ 挺心慌的。怕會 set off alarm，引來一大隊警察來與我 house-warming 就不好啦。幸好科技發達，一通電話到 agency 求救，很快也驚動了 owner。這 owner 也不錯，放下手頭的工作過來幫忙，兩三下功夫就拆了那問題了。還算鬆一口氣~ 接下來是 connect utilities。Aussie 本來就出名 “有效率”，接駁水電煤都知道不可能一通電話就搞掟，我足足用了45 分鐘才接通電話。真誇張~！ 之後的清潔，好彩 Kheng Ling 提早放工，一起擦擦抹抹，都算完成。現在，終于到最後階段了。好期待星期六搬家大日子。

搬屋記（六）

搬家的大日子 in ONE DAY~! 我很快就逃離這“焗爐房的魔掌”了。現在的心情又緊張，又興奮。雖然搬屋真的好勞民傷財，好煩，不過也算生活上了一個進步。跟“熱氣”，housemate, 煩惱說 bye bye，揮別~~~

前幾天有一個挺特別的經歷。我們這次搬屋 packing 的箱子都是撿回來的。那天我們到 Kheng Ling 工作的地方撿紙箱，感覺好像那些撿紙皮的阿婆，超搞笑~~ 這種情面，相信只有我們這些留學生才會有。哈哈。

Anyway, 這幾天都在努力地整理自己的財物，把屬於自己的東西都帶走。現在才發現我對“這家”的貢獻很多，我一走，帶走了差不多全部廚房用品和電器，bench 也就光禿禿了。這次我深刻的明白到我的付出，人家不一定領情，還會被反咬一口。老實說，我的錢虧了，我也算了，就當我交學費，學了寶貴的一課。但心裏總是不快，覺得給人“搵笨”了，很失敗。不過慢慢我也想通了—— 我要學的是人間的醜惡，不過不等於我要學做衰人。做回自己，問心無愧就好了。對於衰人，我會保護自己就夠了。“虧”我不讓人吃，但自己也不要吃。

搬屋記（五）

陸陸續續傢私 & 電器都買了七七八八，現在只差洗衣機。大出血是一定，不過我也從而學了不少處事方式。這次搬家有很多感受，讓我看清楚人的醜惡，感受到搬家有多煩，明白了錢爲什麽會用得這麽快，還有也了解了自己有多吝嗇~~ 哈哈。

好了，下一部就是收拾了。我在房間搞了兩天。唉~ 原來我自己有這麽多東西。慘了，上次搬家用皮箱拉了9 次，這次都不知道要用車載幾次了....

PS. 剛買的膠箱一拉就爛了。真是便宜的東西不可靠。

Farewell Program - Gowning

Farewell Program. A 2-day program to deliver information to us, new graduates. What is more important is that they allow a 2hour gowning session when we can put on the gown & take photos with friends. I think it is very good opportunity as I believe the actual day will be a mess with the families. However, despite the opportunity provided, the turn-up rate was low. I was the only one from BND, & to make things worse, most of my friends need to work today & can't come to take photos. Honestly I was quite upset, feeling left out & lonely. Remembering the farewell program last year, it was so happening & much more exciting. In contrast, my graduation seems unnoticed.... However, at the end, I was so grateful that 2 friends came especially to take photos with me, & not to forget Kheng Ling rushing back during her 1-hour lunch break. And, Vincent is graduating this year together as well~! I realised today I m afterall not that lonely~

搬屋記（四）

今天又做了幾件事。一大清早，我們向二手市場進發~ 與兩位之前相約好的“校友”見面，轉讓一些傢私 + 電器。然後再到電器店跟老板殺價。現在雪柜，sofa，電視機，都搞掂了~ 真是鬆了一口氣啊~ 搬家真是勞民傷財...

搬屋記（三）

今天去了 IKEA 掃貨。搬了一車東西回來，但那也只不過是要買的三份之一。買了餐桌，下次還有書台，sofa。唉~ 每一件傢私一般的 quality，一般的款式，但價錢都是非一般。看到的都需要買，不過我不想用太多家裏的錢。對，我很吝嗇，什麽都不想買，要買也買最小，最便宜的。決定要買一件傢私，心裏總是有一種掙扎，都問自己是否可買。我知道家裏沒特意說這次搬家用錢的 budget，但始終我也不能亂花錢。再説，將來會發生什麽事都不知道，如果要再搬/回港，那我的傢私又要放 second hand 了。

老實說，最近為了搬家 （佈置新家的忙 + 舊家的煩惱），找工（雖然也急不來），大小事情，又忙又煩，壓力與煩惱都不少。比起來，讀書都沒這麽辛苦。不過，這可能就是成長的第一步，無憂無愁的學生生活已成過去了。

Pictionary Night

Brighton Japanese dinner was really good~ $25 - eat until your stomach burst. And i think last night everyone's stomach "bursted". Haha.. They really did stuff us up as if we had been underfed for ages. Within 40min, we were all so full, but satisfied as well~ Ha..

Then we proceeded onto the next highlight of the event - pictionary. Kheng Ling's new pictionary gameset has been fully utilised. The game was as funny as the previous experience. It truly reflects how excellent our artistic talents are. But to top things up, we had a super-funny pair - choon choon & vincent. Somehow their brainwave didn't match, & it was so hard for them to guess each other's drawing. Haha.. halirous.

$$ Money $$

Money. Moving new home is definitely going to spend lots of money. Today we have been to many places looking at beds, sofa, dining table, n mainly fridge & washing machine. First hand is undoubtedly expensive, however, I feel bad for spending so much $$. It is especially so when i know i should now be earning money as a graduated uni student. I wanted so much to stop spending daddy's money, but in turn, start contributing to my family.

Anyway, saw a job ad online. Not ideal but would be good if i can get it. Hope this application can be fruitful la~~

Boiling HOT!!

Hot. I hate this house, especially my room when summer comes. Most of the summer I m home, enjoying the coldness of winter in Hong Kong. Hai~ this melbourne summer is just unbearable. And for worse, the direct sunshine throughout the day keeps my room not just hot, but BOILING~!!! Today is just 27C, what about 35C next week?! Argh~ I must escape!

搬家記（二）

昨晚開會談了我搬走的事，結果不歡而散。我背上不負責任，沒擔戴，大話精的罪名。難道我給的一個月通知不夠嗎？我在自己決定後才把事情說清不對嗎？我保護自己而沒簽約有錯嗎？是我不負責任，還是有人不想負責任？虧我沒吃嗎？

好人我做夠了。同情也同情過。這次我會“企硬”。在世人眼中，我可能做過份了，但我覺得責任我已經盡了，是時候說說我的權利。

搬家記（一）

最近都為搬家而忙。上網找屋子，打電話約時間看屋子。沒想過看屋子是要自己一戶戶敲門（吃閉門羹也不再説，可憐的是我們兩個女子怕屋裏不知什麽人），也沒想過是會要跟人搶（那鬼佬.... too bad.）。在短短的四天，看了四間屋，打了也有十通電話。不過，我們也超級幸運，竟然給我們“搶”到那間我們首選的屋子。好像是因爲我行爲良好。哈哈。當那 agent 說他選擇租給我們，我們都開心到不懂怎樣反應~~ :D

不過，搬屋也有很多煩惱。現在我們要去買家私，接水電煤，收拾個人用品，約人來搬等等。未來的幾個星期應該會很忙。但是反正是假期，有一點精神寄托也好~ 我一定要弄得整整齊齊來歡迎 daddy, mummy, koko & emama 的~~

被疏遠

被疏遠。老實說，這次畢業我並沒有依依不捨的感覺。回想以前中學，我總會因爲分離而不捨得。是因爲我成熟了，還是我根本與這班同學合不來？有時，我總覺得自己不大屬於大家的一份子，我會對自己說因爲我沒有和她們一起 placement。不過，我心裏知道很多時候這也是我一手造成。在無數次的約會/parties，我以不喝酒為理由，沒有出現。有時，我就因爲個別理由，沒參與。就如昨天，同學們都相約去參加 Melbourne Oaks Day - 一個女人穿少少，拿着酒杯在大太陽下干蒸的跑馬活動。我不喜歡這種場合，所以我沒去。在大家眼裏，我是不合群，只會拿“忙”為藉口的人。就是這樣，我也慢慢被疏遠了。

有人說“寧願多一個朋友，好過多一個敵人”，我也明白了，也沒有怎麽與人結怨。不過，這世界不只有朋友與敵人，還有一些“見面沒話説，又不至於敵人的朋友”。老實說，有時，在一班這樣的朋友群中，你會覺得沒話題，格格不入。久而久之，心裏無形中有了一種孤獨。開始討厭自己。

Mock Interview

Mock interview this morning. I had a panic attack right before the interview as to where exactly the PeterMac centre is. Thanks for the senior dietitian who gave me the wrong street name, but soon, it was resolved & I arrived 30min before it started.

Oh well, the interview was formal, however, I was not at all nervous or stressed. Perhaps at the back of my mind, i did know it was a mock. The interview has taken ~35min, when i was asked 6 different questions which I answered with stories of experiences to demonstrate some skills. And, it was....... crap. Examples not strong enough or lack of details. Funny enough i didnt actually "sell" myself but being too humble.

Well, i learnt a lesson. Hopefully next time when i get a real interview I won't just give myself away like i did this morning. Good that we have the mock as practice~~

考完試

考完試。沒有特別興奮或喜悅。這可能是我二十年教育生涯的最後一個考試，不過我沒有特別期待這結束。結束是另一階段的開始。是時候放下書包，拿起工事包了。

PS. 求神拜佛我考試要過關啊~

Exam in 1 day

Tomorrow will be my final dietetic exam.

Stress... Stress... Stress.....

Brain all stuffed up.

Wishing tomorrow paper will be fine.
