Might get a part time job at last... going for interview later tomorrow... 2 months of slacking is really a bit too much...

I need to get back some of the money i spent in australia.

Plans:
1. Get a tour guide license... anybody wanna join me?
2. Go for Spanish lessons ($540 though....)
3. Teach Japanese to some sucker.... I hope that person hires me as his/her pvt teacher..
4. To apply to drive a BMW 735Li for the World Bank Forum Delegates in Sept... held just before the mid term break. Anybody wanna join me? 3 years driving experience makes you eligible.
5. Go to Malaysia to chill out before school starts

Post Aussie Trip

Aussie was great fun... I actually had a bias against australia, I always thought it's a boring country with the attractions distributed over long distances. Well, the latter is still true. I think we drove 4000km, flew more than 5000km within australia, and did more than 700km on a day tour.

Quite torturous distances I would say, so I salute the day tour driver who did 700km in one day within 12 hours.

Things happened that was expected:
1. I overspent.
2. I overspent
3. I overspent

Things happened that was not expected:
1. Meeting a primary school classmate at the 12 apostles 300km off melbourne
2. Seeing reallly beautiful Mother Nature.
3. Almost crashed the car, and almost got hurt when Mitsu almost crashed the car.
4. Won A$150 at Melbourne's Casino playing Blackjack... Thanx to those Latino speaking aunties who taught me how to play Blackjack properly at a casino
5. Seeing tonnes of cute asian girls in Perth and Melbourne.
6. Got slapped with a parking fine by Melbourne's government... which we did not bother to pay
7. Stupid white woman who gave me a middle finger. (but seriously, most australians are still non-racists)

OZ!

Certain disclaimers from the last post:

My stepmom's not the kind of step moms in Kids' stories, she's a kind person, i believe she's gonna take care of my dad. I don't hate her or my dad or anything, probably some things are just harder to accept.

Yeah Xiaobing, prob we can scream at each other to vent our frustrations after i get back from OZ.

Flown to Brisbane, met up with Domi at the airport, then we started our 1000km journey south to Sydney. Till now, We drove more than 3000km from the day we left Brisbane. Visited Canberra, and other small towns along the way...

So tired from the journey... gonna take a break in Domee's house b4 the flight to Mel later tom

Starting afresh

In many ways, this has been the most eventful period of time in my entire 23+ years of life.

Breaking up: Enough said bout that, A mentally drained man needs no further stress from his ex gf who decides to reveal tonnes of hidden truths. Things that could have been said 1.5 years ago.

Shifting: Don't congratulate me on shifting into a condo. I would rather be in my cosy little apartment in Tokyo.

Re-marriage: Yippee?! My dad's getting re-married... (explains the above point)... went to the ceremony, but just couldn't bear to actually sit in at the actual ceremony.

Family Past: When shifting, it's only normal that u dig every corner of your old place. I look at my lego and books, my childhood. I decided to bring along some of the most precious stuff... Significant gifts from good friends, Old photos... among others.
It's fun digging out your dad's and mom's birth certs, (Theirs! not mine) Marriage cert, death cert. I realise my mom kept a good record of everything of mine since I attended PAP preschool in Toa Payoh 20 years ago. Everything from PAP, Pei Chun, TCHS, Hwa Chong were all nicely kept.

These were among the Class A stuff that I make sure I bring along to my new place, together with my mom's photo.
A shocking revealation while i was flipping some doctor's memo. People know that I'm the only child. I found out that I actually have a younger sister. Born 1.1.1986 2am, died 13.4.1986.

My aunts have hinted to me about this before, i also suspected something wrong through some old photos. But as always, official documents make it crystal clear. So i guess I might spend some time imagining how this 20 yr old sis of mine would be like.

I guess this mentally drained man really needs a holiday in OZ...and start with a clean slate when I get back
