About

Have been playing the city games in China for about a decade, I came to Australia and that makes my straying dream nearly come true. But I miss my homwtown, a place they call Jiang Nan. Even though I am here enjoying the alien air and langscapes, my heart is always with China.

After two friends and I took a house in a suburb area of Australia, the real life continues with stressful paces and extra entertainments. Life can never stop, so does the sunshine.

the spring is coming? 26 July 2007 |

After a rest of about 5 days,I begun to recover from the cold. It also became warmer and warmer these days cause at night i often woke up from overheating under my quilt. Yep, the life seems to get "warm", and after classes in the afternoon, i suddenly had a good mood so i went to Clayton station to search around. I bought some food and veg in the Hong Kong food restaurant and with two heavy plastic bags in my hand, i walked a long way to my house and came across Bordie around the corner of his house. So good to see him, tender and gentle man~haha~
Another big issue is that Brooks, Sven and me came to the final decision that we would eat separately cause our class timetable were different. That might not affect our friendship and i understood Brooks totally. Yep, when we three firstly took the house, i had foreseen the current situation. But it should not be a bad thing, everyone has his own choice. Maybe after this "reform", my spending of food consumption will decrease just like when i lived in Jack's house.

sick for what 22 July 2007 |

I have to admit that i am sick, not so serious,but i could not stop snivelling and sometimes that made me feel dizzy and sleepy. I suddenly remembered that at the night the day before yesterday, when i went to sleep it was too hot in the quilt to fall asleep so i raised one corner of the quilt...that might result in the undermining situation.
Shit...each time when i was in sick i always thought about loneliness, depression, death,darkness, suicide..i could not stand myself. maybe one day one girl would stay beside me and take care of me, that sounds happy but when?when?when? So many times have been killed, so many ages have been spent, nothing about love occurred to me.
Hey, stop the pessimistic thoughts, everything will be all right. Of course, i would not show my weakness and sadness to people around me, but there should be a sad me inside my body. I can not control it when i come across bad things. Otherwise, more or less i had given up something which should have made me happy,but i always regretted after that happened.
I have gotten sick, stick to the chair, watch some kind of movies, wait for the comfort and sound easement.

hard days 20 July 2007 |

These days i became busier than before cause my classes had begun. Actually the different accents of professors were my big headache. I had no basic knowledge of my units so most of the time i could not understand the content. So i must spend a lot of time reading related textbooks.
In the future days, i am gonna be very very very busy...Comfortable days come to the end..
This morning, i went to Thanya's house to help her move into her new house. I got up early in cold. Her house actually was not so bad i could not figure out why she wanted to move out. There were really a lot of stuff and packages in her house. Her cohabiting boy friend, her sister, Max and me spent hours finishing the whole moving process. Thanya's sister was really funny,i called her eighteen girl while she called me nineteen boy. She was so quiet and always smiling. But i will never judge a person with appearance.
Now i found that i probably caught a little cold since last night. A little annoying. Getting back to home, staying in the bed, browsing the websites, it is cool. But do not miss somebody. The current life is good for me. Never mind the loneliness. Never mind you are not a smart one. 老天爱笨小孩。

rain rain rain 17 July 2007 |

ennnnnnnnnnnn...capital countries always play tricks. As monash university, its caulfield campus often hold some small get-together parties for new enrollment students during which so-called free lunch are provided. But think about that international students' tuition fees are much more than that of local students, it can explain the core of capitalism---exploitation.
Brooks and his girl friend, Andy and me decided to go to caulfield campus to have a free lunch held by the OVERSEAS STUDENT SERVICES. It rained heavily in the morning but we must fight for the "free of charge"! Actually it was not so bad to go there because that kind of party made it meaningful to know other international students and at least the sushi could make me feel full..a little funny..
Afterwards i had nothing to do and i joined Andy's class even though my major is different from his. Yeah, frankly, his teacher's oral English was not so difficult to understand. I made a few friends there.
In the evening, i went to Maggie's house to let my hair cut. But this time Maggie failed to cut it well. The hairs on the both sides of my head looked strange and ugly. I joked her: my hat is going to be more useful...

all night out 15 July 2007 |

It should be at the night of 14 July that i went to city with Nina cause we had planed to join the live show of Ben's band since a few days ago. The Indonesia girl Pamz met us in the Vietnam restaurant where we had lunch before. Poor me had had dinner before i came out but i had another pack of food again.
Then, Nina and I went to Pamz's house just to kill time because Ben's band would demonstrate their show till 2 am so we had a few hours left. We watched TV and DVD in her house which belongs to her aunt.
Afterwards we met David and his little brother in a corner of city. Finally Pamz led us to that so-called PONY CLUB. As soon as i entered that club i couldn't help feeling alien and uneasy and embarrassed cause there were almost the local young Australians and it was very crowded; the light was dark and dizzy. But the live show of Ben's band was really fantastic and awesome. They named their band as"FANCY BOYS", such a cool name. We five persons stood at the first line of the crowded and there were a few crazy guys who danced very passionately. I did think that they really attracted most of the people inside.
By the way, since that show i really looked at Ben with new eyes because when being our teacher of bridging program, he was so kind so modest so neat but when being one member of the band, he looked so different as usual.
Right after the show, we said goodbye to Ben and followed David to a famous Greek restaurant called Stalactites. The Souvlaki in it was pretty delicious and could easily make you full. But it was a pity i left one third of it in Pamz's house..crying...
I spent nearly all day sleeping at home because last night i seldom slept; in the evening, Maggie and her mother came to our house to have dinner with us...
Life is so busy;i like it, at least now.

tired, busy, but happy 13 July 2007 |

Another busy day.. i got up very early because it was the induction day today and attendance was compulsory.
The deepest impression of today's lectures was the difficulties in understanding locals' or Indians' spoken English as well as the accent of persons from English-speaking countries. And since last night i played cards till very late and fell asleep very late so i was so tired and sleepy during the lectures.
The only pleasant things may just be the free breakfast and lunch and finally a USB for us..the hams for the lunch were really tough and dry. Jesus Christ!
After the lectures Andy, Xi and me decided to go to Annie and Jenny's house to have dinner. Since they moved into their new house a few days before, we just went there to have fun and look around. In the evening, i cooked the fried beef with tomato for them. We had a happy dinner together.

dinner in Sri Lanka's 11 July 2007 |

Today Andy came to my house in the afternoon. We talked about our respective courses. He told me that his previous hostess invited him to her dinner and i wanted to join. Andy called his hostess and confirmed that i could go. That made me excited.
In the evening, we went there by bus. When i firstly entered their house it really surprised me and it is pretty beautiful, big and gorgeous. the hosts were very kind and warm-hearted to us. I really enjoyed that dinner even though i felt a bit embarrassed and uneasy. It was their particular accent that really annoyed me cause i could not understand totally what they were talking about. So it was a little uneasy for me to just fill my mouth with pizza and grills.
After the dinner, one boy sent me home. It was a little rainy then but i felt happy and happy. For me i just wanna enjoy different lives each day. Today is. Thanks to those kind Sri Lankas, who are also from the THIRD WORLD COUNTRY.

orientation day 10 July 2007 |

Today i was really busy and tired. In the early morning i went with Andy to the caulfield campus to attend some lectures for new students. There were several sections during that period of time, but actually for our bridging program students, this sort of lectures were not so vital. But at least i could practise my listening and made some new international friends.
Small funny games were held and lunch was provided; in fact, i really enjoyed today even though i felt exhausted after one day's listening and walking.
Andy always played jokes of me about my pursuit of love. Yeah, it seems that i could have a few choices about love only i am willing to courage myself and pay some effort. But actually i am always too seriously about it, and, sometimes i am so addicted in it, love to me is a tool which can just hurt me not give me console and happiness. So to be happy, be far away from it.
In the evening, we had a great dinner. Cause Charles is gonna leave here for his own campus. We just held a small party for him and his girl friend. After dinner, we played a kind of gambling, so-called JIN HUA. i lost some money:(

city loop 6 July 2007 |

These days i am so busy...
This morning i got up reluctantly at about half past nine to catch the bus and train to city. I met Xi at the Clayton campus bus loop and we went to Huntingdale together.
There Nina was a little late and after over half-an-hour we got at city. We met Pamz coincidentally and she showed us around the city. We spent a few hours looking around the Federation Square, National Gallery of Victoria, Australian centre for the moving image; during that period of time the Thai girl Thanya came later to meet with us.
We finally decided to have lunch in a Vietnam restaurant. It was raining then but in the restaurant we really enjoyed our food. The price was not so high(of course in Australian dollars..). After lunch the rest thing must be shopping and shopping...i hate shopping but girls like. So i can only accompany them. It was a pity that the price of ticket to see the Eureka Tower was very high..we all could not afford.
After half-a-day walking i was very tired. In the evening i had to meet Maggie cause she wanted to have dinner in my house. At night we played cards till 11 pm.
Life acts like this. Busy or free? i don't know.

register a new hair style 5 July 2007 |

I had to get up early today in the morning to go to Caufield campus for my registration of new semester in the monash university. I have been in Australia for about 3 months during which the bridging program was passed quickly. But i am very happy that i have made some good friends in the program.
Caufileld campus is much smaller than Clayton campus, but it is located close to city so prices of renting houses there are much higher than houses in Clayton. Taking this into consideration i negotiated to live in Clayton and go to classes by taking the shuttle bus.
In the early morning, it didn't take much time for me to finish my registration. But since i am not used to getting up early i felt very tired so as soon as i returned home and had my lunch i got to bed.
In the afternoon, cause the fridge in our house was empty so Sven, Brooks and i decided to go to Clayton station to buy some food and vegetables. I received Maggie there then we together go shopping. After a quick buying things we planed to push the dolly to Maggie's house cause i wanted to make my hair cut. Maggie is studying cutting hair.
In fact, she may not have enough experience but she really knew how to make and cut hair. Not really bad, my final hair style. But Brooks still felt depressed about his hair.
It was raining outside that time, we three ones just held the Hello Kitty umbrella to run to our house. I really appreciated my new hair style, looks cool and beautiful!

Annie's birthday 3 July 2007 |

It is Annie's birthday today. We some classmates of MEP1L bridging program planed to get together in her house and make some joyful entertainments. In the afternoon, Andy, Bardie and another guy came to my house and we got to Clayton campus to meet Jenny so we could go together. We came across Ross and Amanda in the way to Annie's house.
With the cold weather and slightly strong wind, we made our way to Annie's house. Her house looked very comfortable but didn't have too much room. That was not a big problem cause happiness could survive everywhere. As soon as we got there we prepared the food and vegetables for our dinner. The landlord was a Mexican-Australian woman, she was kind to us. She raised a little cat in her house and we all liked that cute thing.
After a busy preparation and enjoyable jollification we laid our dishes on the table. Each one was attracted by the colorful dishes including the Spicy Chicken Pasta made by Amanda, a Tomato Pizza make by Bardie, Coca Cola Drumsticks made by Nina, a great soup with egg, pork and mushrooms in it made by Andy...and i just made a small dish with tomato and beef in it. Compared with other one's works that really made me ashamed and regretful.
During the dinner, i felt the family warmth which only could exist when surrounded by good friends and when talking with them easefully. We finished our dinner in hurry; that might attribute to our thirsty and starvation. A popular game, killing game, was subsequently in process. Bardie and Andy were greeners but in fact when they acted the role of killers they survived and succeeded in killing innocent victims. We played that game for several times and i really enjoyed it even though i was killed for a few times innocently.
After the game, it was late in the evening. Each one packed their things and went home. Annie was happy today. Wish her eternal happiness.

to be continued with weariness 2 July 2007 |

I got up very late today because i really wore out after yesterday's table tennis exercises. But i also made up my decision to deal with a few pending things. Without washing my face and brushing my teeth, i called the immigration office to make my appointment with them for my permission to work. It took about half an hour to finish that issue cause i had to wait for the operator's coming and there were really some difficulties in totally understanding his accents. But finally i made it.
After a quick cooking and lunch i got out to deal with other things. Firstly i had to go to the post office to pay the water fee for our house; after that i walked a long way to Clayton to find places where i could copy keys. During that time i firstly went to my rent agency White Ray to report the problem of my broken window. At Clayton i spent a few hours looking at surrounding shops and tried to remember their names and special features. I didn't find the new place for making keys in a small shop until i finished buying some food in Coles. Then it became to rain, with a heavy package of food in my right hand and an umbrella hold with my left hand, i walked a much longer way to go home and stupidly i lost the way to my home because i passed somewhere i am not familiar with. Yesterday Andy led us to go passing there but today i forgot...
Luckily "every road leads to Rome", although i got the wrong direction i finally got at home after hours of wandering and extraordinary tiredness. But it is not a blank day as many days I've spend in Australia. I did a lot of things on my own. While i was in China, everything is left to my parents...

sport and its gain |

In the morning, i was waked up by an annoying cellphone call from Jenny. As soon as i got up i thought of playing table tennis with a few other classmates. I finally arrived at the sports recreation centre of Clayton campus late in the noon. Surprisingly Andy's friend Bardie was there and i also saw a new face who is Jenny's friend. Since then till about half and two in the afternoon we played table tennis in turns and each one became exhausted.
We all didn't have lunch so that was a really big issue. Finally we decided to go to Clayton to have lunch. The earliest bus was too late so we just walked there. It was a little rainy then. We went to a Korean restaurant to which was led by Bardie. It is a small but very comfortable one where we could enjoy the sweet Korean songs and low whisper from other guests. Before our dishes were handed in we just chatted with each other. Eventually our desired sets of food were given to us and we all could not wait to swallow. At least the food were really delicious and tasty.
I haven't done any sports for a long time; but today i really enjoyed. My left back suffered from aches after playing table tennis...maybe that could attribute to my day-by-day oldness and laziness..yeah, sometimes i am a bit pessimistic. Not should be today.
