さようなら, Florian さん

This morning, I took Flo to Southern Cross station and I was pretty sad on the way there. The last one week has been fun and enjoyable. As I waved good bye, a mixed emotions dwell on my mind. This is not the first time that I had such feeling for a friend. I wish him well on the rest of the trip and hope to see him again soon. 行ってらっしゃい, Flo さん...

キス-メン

Flo, my straight friend from an aviation forum, just arrived this morning. He gonna stay at my place for a week. Picked him up from Southern Cross this morning and we had a boring afternoon at Melbourne Gaol, thanks to KissMen. I call him that way coz he's such a slut and big drinker. He never seem to sober up.

Anyway, fast forward to dinner and if olympics opening ceremony tonight was fantastic, Melbourne meet up probably was much more fantabulous with kissMEN's scandals.

• He decided that he wanted to have dinner at Taxi, thats fine.. Then he decided all of us should eat the degustation menu. Me and Flo think it's unfair, he should consult us before making the decision about the menu. We are not millionaires and we don't think that spending $140 on food is justifiable on student's budget. Unless for some people who spend their parents' money to impress others.

• KissMEN repeatedly saying how much he hates Asian service, apparently it was too formal for him, "If someone called me by my first name, I will probably tell him to fuck off", "I hate Asians that lick your shoes off", "Qantas is the best airline in the world", "I hate those people that wear suits to fly first class, I wear flip flops and shorts when flying business class", "SQ and NH service is too formal, cant stand them, I like to go to planes that have barbie (read:aussie BBQ) ambiance", "Australian service is the best, they are so casual", "I hate people calling me sir", "I hate Singaporeans, I don't Japanese and Koreans", "Chinese are the worst", etc. Why you even bother to travel? You don't like it, for god sake, just stay at home. Oh did I mention he hate old european style too? I could imagine the hysteria when kissMEN goes to VIE and having dinner at an old style Austrian restaurant. jjbp3, jhm, and phaleesy better be prepared.

• Swearing and f*** off are like a part of his language. I don't ask him to be super polite, but this kind of manner puts some people off, including myself. This is why some Australians are so ashamed of their fellow countrymen. Imagine this guy becoming an influential Labor person. I probably will give up my citizenship and run all the way to Madagascar.

• KissMEN hates Korean bcoz they have accents on them. Pop Quiz: Which forum member has the most annoying accents of them all? LOL....

• KissMEN said to me, "How come you hold Aussie passport and don't even know what Ned Kelly chooks is?" Good lord, how many people know abt this anyway? You are not even holding Aussie passport, who are you to judge me. This guy, is even more arrogant than racist white guys. Grrr....

• I never see him sober through the day. Seems that he is on constant alcohol influence. P was mentioning that he should go on rehab...

• During dinner, we repeatedly ignored him. P was talking with his friend, and I just talked with flo... *grin* 

• P (he's straight, btw...) was staying at KissMEN's place and one morning, he found that Keith was sleeping so close to him and his head was just on his shoulder... A sign of something?

• KissMEN was kissing Flo on the cheek! Scandalous? Not there yet... 

• On this season finale of this drama, KissMEN's hand was groping Flo's ahm... ahm... My jaw literally dropped... Laughing in hysteria I had to.. :P
  

Rest assured, after this experience, I'm avoiding him like a plague (not like I haven't anyway...). Tomorrow they are going for lunch and dinner, but hmm.. let's just say I have work *wink wink*.... lol... Can't afford the money, can't afford to see and hear too...

PS: Have to commend P's way of handling the drunken monkey... :D

七つの大罪: 暴食

Second day @ work, meeting again.. Urgh... But this time, I had it at the Department of Transport. Their building is very new and they have a rather sophisticated security system in comparison to ours. I met with HR staffs from various Victorian government departments and institutions. The meeting itself was rather boring, but.... they have good budgets to spend on cakes and sweets. I could see ladies fingers, mud cakes, fruit cakes, cheese cakes, pastries, donuts, and so on. They piled up all those things in 3 big plates and it was really over piled. I swear, it was probably my one year supply of sweets or maybe more... It was lovely, but hey that's where my tax money goes. Sigh... =_="

最初の日は、事務所

Nervous, a bit panic, not sure what to expect, not sure what gonna happens, not sure what to do if I make mistakes... All these thoughts played around my mind as I entered the Department of Planning and Community Development Office. My hands were terribly cold, the weather didn't help either. As my supervisor greeted me, he introduced me to several people in the human resource department and before long, I was off to a meeting 15 minutes walk away from the office.

First meeting: It was about the changes in individual awards agreements contracts and so on... Basically giving the employees better work conditions. Very very boring... If it's a class, I will definitely dozed off away to the never neverland. Luckily, we were there for only 40minutes, but my luck don't stay for long, bcoz now I'm off to my.....

Second meeting: This time it is much better, much more interesting. It's a weekly meeting within the human resource department. It was just giving a general update on what's everyone has been doing. By the end of it, there was a presentation, every one seems to take turn on doing the presentation. It was actually to get to know everyone better. It happens that this week's presentation was done by my supervisor who were talking about his interest in language and surfing. They also said I have set a higher bar on standard male looks in this human resource departments, lol... You heard that IEL? Now, I don't need to cut my hair :P

The rest of the day after lunchtime was filled with reading employment law and inductions regarding the organisations, boring stuffs... Yawn...

Tomorrow? Another meeting @ 9.30, urgh... This time with human resource people from various government departments in Melbourne.... Now, this gonna be a big one...

インタビュー = 大成功!!!

Wooohoooo... Got accepted for the job. Went for interview at 10.30, I was so damn nervous. I think, the person there could see me being very anxious. I asked lots of questions, tried to be eager, well.. I was really keen to get the job anyway. The interview last for half an hour and 2 hours later, I got called... Congratulations, blah blah blah... Yeshhh... 大成功!!! and guess what?!?! They want me to start tomorrow, unbelievable, am I really that impressive? LOL....

But this evening, I feel a bit bad and terrible, I feel sorry for my friend who didn't get accepted. He tried harder than I did, he applied to more jobs and went to more interviews. I only went once and got in. I wish him the best of luck, I will try to help him a bit when I'm not so busy in a couple of days.

就職の面接

I have an interview for an internship with a government office tomorrow. I was very relax about this initially, didn't even care coz I believe I can do it. For all of a sudden, this evening I feel aggitated and nervous. There are only 2 people going for this interview and only one of us can get accepted. By fate or by mistake, the other person is a good friend of mine. This internship will require me to get involved in a human resource project. However, at this stage, it is still unclear what kind of project they are going to assign. Fingers crossed, I will do fine... I'm still not sure what to wear either... >_<"

Hi Miss Alice
貴方 硝子の目で　どんな夢を　見られるの？
