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.

seeking new house 27 Nov 2008 |


Coming back from travelling, i am so tired and do not want to move. Stayed in my house for a couple of days, Veiya and I had to think about seeking a new house for us because we will move out before 9th next month. Actually these days there are a lot of vacant rooms but we still have to choose the best from this variety.
In the afternoon the hailstone suddenly hit the ground. Amazing, big stones. We went out at about 6 pm to the neighbouring suburb. We checked two houses, the first one with with cheap price and the second one was with higher price. Veiya could not make her mind, and we afterwords went to her classmate's house. We had dinner there made by her classmate and chatted for a few hours. The Iran landlord there was so kind and nice to us.
The bad news was, Veiya failed one unit. The good news was, a lot of her classmates failed the same unit. A frustrating cry could not delete the result, but for Veiya, to be strong, is the most important. And as for the failing fee of above 3000$, that should be a caution: in monash, never to challenge its reputation, but to choose the easiest units to pass. For me, got a bad result, three credits, one pass...
After 10pm, we went to Fan's house to get the dog. Maomao finally got back to my house again, but just stayed for 3 days. Her genuine mother will come. It seems that, departure seized my house. People, dog, everything will definitely separate from each other. It may be the nature of the earth, but with sadness.

last day in surfers paradise of goal coast 25 Nov 2008 |

最后一天在黄金海岸。由于前几天劳累过度,大中午才去surfers paradise闲逛。其实没逛多少店。下半天几乎是在坐飞机与车子上度过的。
墨尔本的天色暗地比黄金海岸要晚点。想念那旧旧的小木房。
卸载了剑侠游戏,卸载掉不该有的生活。奢靡还是挺欢快的。

in the theme park-wet'n wild world 24 Nov 2008 |

今天的水世界其实玩了很多,但因为有水的存在,所以照相也变得不是很方便。女生们穿比基尼,男生们就一短裤,所以相机无处藏身。可怜的我,把相机放裤子里去玩水了,导致相机直接死机,坏了。我跟Ross几乎玩遍了水世界的所有项目,我直呼在这里是“独孤求败”,全然忘记了我是旱鸭子这个事实的存在。玩过的包括:Kamikaze, Extreme H20 Zone, Mach 5, Black Hole, Surfrider, Super 8 Aqua Racer, Calypso Beach & Bar; Tornado关闭了,后来才知道,那个才是最刺激的。晚上去玩了鬼屋,就我,ross,还有月月三个人,另外三个都不敢进。veiya胆子自从玩了tube rides越来越小了,水项目没玩几个。couple年纪大了,也挑战不了了。所以,刺激的都扔我们年轻气盛的来完成。其实并没那么恐怖,因为并没有真人中途出来吓人。晚上去一家意大利餐厅吃饭,环境不错,听着美妙的音乐,30多刀的牛排几下就下肚了,而且,并没有填满我的饥饿感,对黄金海岸的饥饿感。

in the theme park-dream world 23 Nov 2008 |

今天赶赴dream world。我们来来去去都是打的。似乎也不是很贵。
天气很热,第一个玩的就是the claw。Ross跟jacky没玩,暂当一会私人照相师。之后玩了过山车cyclone,swipeout, 骑摩托车Mick Doohan's Motocoaster, 空中电梯Tower of Terror跟Giant Drop实在有点叫人胆战心惊,所以除了Ross, 都只能旁观了。其实中途除了这些,也有一些比较适宜的项目,譬如看老虎表演,这里的老虎好懒;跟袋鼠近距离拍照,跟考拉拍照,花了几十刀。
晚上又去了surfers paradise那里拍照。黄金海岸,在看多了澳洲的海洋之后,变得不是那么的金灿灿。审美也须有疲劳。

going to brisbane-gost coast 22 Nov 2008 |

今天无所事事,就是等飞机。除了打牌,找不出其他乐子。飞机且晚点,牌牌牌。
一行人最后到了距离黄金海岸不远的一个叫meriton的酒店,其实我们是享受到了一个apartment的待遇。里面很豪华,刚进不久,jacky嚷嚷着要改机票日程多玩两天,但最后黄了,因为小芳弟弟的入学问题。
出去闲逛,一个烟雾缭绕的风尘女子过来热情地招呼:要帮你们拍照吗?于是,下面那张集体照应运而生。

4th day in hamilton island 21 Nov 2008 |

我想说我已经为深潜付出自己的努力了,对不会游泳的我来说,鼓起勇气跳下不知深度的海洋里面,尽管有救生设备的心理支撑,我还是无法战胜对海水的恐惧。刚入水几秒钟,我就不自觉的用鼻子呼吸,导致海水进入我的口罩,然后一连串的惊慌,我只能使用向上手势要教练带我出水面了。海风依旧那般地吹,不能说我没有遗憾,但至少已经尝试过了。
由于深潜的浪费,加上天气的不好,今天算是黄掉了。游艇的上面风景不错,下面几张照片都是在上面拍的。其实相比我,他们几个也没玩的尽兴。veiya直接没玩深潜,couple上的也比较早,ross跟yue玩的稍久,但水下相机并没利用合理。
大把的时间剩余,傍晚我们决定去hiking. 岛上有一大片专门用来hiking的树林。我们一行六人爬的很高走地很远,回来已是漆黑一片。veiya的精神自从昨天玩了tube rides一直萎靡,爬山更是连喊劳累。崩说,上坡下坡还是有点危险,只是对于从小生活在山村里的我来说,即便是光脚也能穿梭整个树林。

third day in hamilton iland 20 Nov 2008 |

一大早起来去游泳池边训练深潜。教练很迟到,9点半才出现。
戴着重重的氧气管,氧气面罩,而且还要注意用口呼吸。水下交互口罩,手势,潜水姿态,平生第一次尝试。
训练很短。所以一会就无所事事了。预订了去玩parasailing,两个人一组飞上天的降落伞,其实是由游艇控制方向与高度的。刚上去还是有点小怕,但到了高空就觉得一切舒坦,没有大起大落。最刺激的算是tube rides, couple他们没玩,我们四个人死死抓着tube上的握条,身体在水花四溅中腾空而起,眼睛无法睁开。最后几秒内的超级转弯把ross跟yue同学甩出tube身体自由落水。上演了一下救灾。暗暗发誓:再也不玩了。veiya同学之后几天的虚弱,跟这个活动脱不了干系。
