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.

Recent

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.

return to the first diary 25 Oct 2007 |

i remember that the first article of this blog is about possums. These days i am so bothered by them because they are so noisy in the early morning and late at night. I was often waked up by their horrible sounds for these a few days. Some of them scratched the woods on the wall and even some snored loudly in the morning. But to remove them individually or just kill them is illegal in Australia. It would take us about 300$ to remove them with the help of some organizations or teams. Fuck off. i wanna kill them and steam them.
The exam date is coming. i have been studying in Caulfield library these days. Hope i can get a favourable result.

flagstaff garden is mini

look at the title

aussies act like chinese
happy red
caulfield library

It is a little cold today but with mere sunshine i wanna go out cause i didn't adhere to my room!
I planed to go to Queen Victoria Market and i passed Flagsfatt Garden; it is a bit small and with few sights. However, it is close to the market. Actually the market is like a gathering of small commodities shops in China, not so gorgeous but a little vulgar. I spent a few hours walking inside and bought a coat which cost me 15$.
Then i took my own way toward the bridge street of the West Richmond. The street is very long and with a lot of fashionable shops. The weather was not so good and i felt a little tired so i didn't stay there for a long time but went back. Actually i went to caulfield to study and came across Ross and his new roommates. We had dinner in KFC together.

last passion 11 Oct 2007 |





Cause this semester nearly comes to the end, so these days i have to study, just found somewhere in the library. Though my studying was not so efficient but i finally made my myself stick to the chair.
In the evening, some classmates decided to go to Carnegia for dinner in a certain Korean restaurant. This get-together party was a bit larger, cuase almost all the Chinese classmates were included. I really enjoyed today.

Jacky Cheung concert 7 Oct 2007 |






59澳刀的张学友演唱会。
远远地观看，水瓶座天生不会崇拜。
所以没有太多的激动，即使这是生平我第一次那么近地看到一个明星。
他老了吧。我老了。
对朋友说，一年内不再听他的歌，先前耳朵快听出老茧了。
意料之外，大部分时间我都很沉默，静静地听着。
中途粤语比较多，我都大喊：用国语。
苦笑。无奈。看来我不适合追星。
演唱会后，跟Ross,David以及他姐妹兄弟一块去chinatown痛吃了一顿。

japanese garden








写惯了流水账，思想再没有深邃；每天生活繁忙了，却发现渐渐无力去描述。
今天天气本不太好，刚起就小雨凌乱，但实在不想呆家，即使昨夜辗转失眠，仍收拾行装外出。
今天的目标地是墨尔本动物园。很早之前就想去了，苦于没伴，但如今，我确实享受自由的旅行。不必在意格格不入的意见，不必在意错过什么风景，就这么任脚步在荒芜或繁华间穿梭。
关于动物，就不想多说了。记得前一次去动物园应该是在无锡，陪父母，爷爷，小婶婶一起。应该是刚进大学吧。
墨尔本的动物园，种类繁多，游客基本是LOCAL级别的，而且大都是孩子。
来了这一次，估计以后就不会来了。并没有把园内走遍，实在太大了，而且我这个人，没有什么方向感。
大约转了三个小时，我又去了smith street。实在受不了诱惑，又买了一件衣服跟adidas的鞋子。共去91澳币。
腐败啊腐败。这个月花了不少钱。我快疯了。

rare get-together |



Nothing special today.
But in the evening after the class was over, Kelly, Sara, Lizzy, Ross, David, Ivy and me went to Charpel Street to look around there cause Kelly said that it was suitable for visiting. We chose a coffee restaurant named"Women's night"to have some kind of drinks and had some gossip. Very happy!
Outside was a little rainy, adding some melancholy to me...

corruption 5 Oct 2007 |



I didn't know why i felt very sleepy and tired today, cause i could not control myself to concentrate on the classes.
Afternoon i mentioned that i wanted to go to DFO(direct factory outlet) and Ross did agree, which gave me a big surprise cause he rarely went out to enjoy some entertainments. Although we got the wrong direction as Kelly pointed to the adverse direction for us. But finally we found out it in Southern Cross Station. But DFO somehow let me down because it is a little small and we found no Adidas or Nike brands there. So it took us a little time walking inside it and we decided to go to city because Lizzy asked us to visit her house.
Lizzy and Kelly were preparing "poaching fishes" when we got there. Her house is big. We four classmates had a happy dinner together and after the dinner we played cards named "fight with the landholder" until 11pm. Thanks for Lizzy, i enjoyed this dinner and this evening, though i missed the classes in the evening:(

walk in the wind 2 Oct 2007 |

Today i decided to go alone to somewhere cause i didn't wanna stay at home with boredom.
I finally find out the places to seek around: gardens.
I first went to Treasury Garden and then Fitzory Garden, both of which are well known in Melbourne. The scenes there are really gorgeous and beautiful and i walked there with a tranquil emotion. The weather was pretty good and made me more joyful. I found that Aussies really know well how to enjoy their lives: lying down on the lawn, facing the sunshine, hiding down on some odd trees, all of which are common scenery in Melbourne.
After i walked through the two gardens i went to the famous street Smith Street. I had planned to buy some clothes and pairs of shoes cause i have been tired with my clothes. The street is really a long road needs patience to walk through. I spent a couple of hours walking through it and found some factory outlets were really fit for me cause the price there was very low. At last i bought an Adidas coat and T-shirt and a pair of Nike shoes.
Though the loneliness is already with me but i never felt ashamed or embarrassed cause i have been used to this kind of feeling and i am happy with it. Sitting in a Sushi restaurant, looking outside from the window and eating sushi and some sort of drink, life is always beautiful!
