Small Events

Finally I'm updating again, I know I've become very lazy lately and I know I'm not supposed to as the exams are approaching and I still have like 3 assignments and tonnes of study to be done. The worst thing is that I was addicted to Nintendo my friend borrowed me which is still with me now. Why on earth I can still be so relaxed while I have so many stuff yet to do?!??
Anyway, I have gone to a few events like the Merdeka Nite, Cultural Awakening and Soo Siang's birthday which was last month. That's what I can remember, apart from the recent ones, I think.... the oldest event that I went to was the Olympic Ceremony which I'm not gonna write anything about it anymore as it was like....... forever ago. When was the olympic again?? OOh Right... 080808. Okay maybe not that old.

~Olympic Opening~
We went to the Bar on the Hill (uni bar) on that day to watch the olympic as they have a huge plasma tv over there. The place was crowded and was full of chinese, mainly from China. It was fun, and we got the 2nd place in the trivia game! Well the priza was useless, we were given a discount voucher for international flights. As if I'll fly international from here, and their international flight exclude New Zealand. And for the closing ceremony, we just watch it in my small garage. Not bad, I like the opening better. And did I ever say that we watch the badminton finals in my room, via webcam live cast from my home?!! My mum set up for me as I was complaining the telly here not showing the finals!! It was great! hehe!!

-everyone in my room-

~Soo Siang's Birthday~
We made a small birthday party for her. Nothing to write more except I just had to say that I had HOKKIAN MEE!!! THANKS Joe and Cien, I know it's late but still THANKSSS!! Will ya make again???

-the birthday girl-

-Hokkian meeeeee *salivating*-

~Merdeka Night~
I paid $25 dollar to attend that event. It wasn't bad, but I don't like the food. It looks good on the outside but it doesn't taste good in the inside. Merdeka Night to me is like another Alumni night, you pay to dress up and take pictures, provided in a nice ambiance. Since it's Merdeka Night, thus it's all Malaysians, well most of it. Before that I didn't know there are a lot of Malaysians in the uni, now I know. But sadly I dunno any of them and I didn't make any effort to get to know them. I know I suck. Anyhoo It wasn't bad, I wouldn't say it was fun as I had to dress up and walked in heels in a chilly night. But great experiance! =D

-me and siang-

-all dressed up, but was too cold so we had our jacket on-

-Jun shoong and the ladies-

-my dinner for that night, forgot what barramundi with dunno-

-Siang's $25 dinner, steamed egg with mixed vege-

-us with the best dressed guy clad in Iban traditional clothing-

-Cynthia, Joe, Siang and me-

~Cultural Awakening~
Our uni has lotsa students from all over the world and thus they have a series of events going on all week long. Sadly I couldn't attend all of them and the saddest part is that I wasn't able to go to the last day of the event as they have some sort of international food stalls. I had to attend classes!! T_T sad right... But I am glad that I went to the Ramadhan break fast on the 2nd day of the fasting month. Students from Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and etc prepared the food and we get to enjoy it for free. It kinda reminds me of the International Night in INTI. It was raining that day so all of us had to stay indoor. Yep and so I get to eat some Malaysian food like roti jala, curry and ayam merah. The food were not enough and so I didn't get to eat the chicken!!! only the sauce... T_T and I had air bandung(rose syrup mixed with soy milk or condensed milk). Overall was fun, good food good company. I was half drenched that was as I walked home in rain, I have killed THREE, TIGA, SAN umbrella since I came here, the wind was just tooo strong! Oh wait, I think only my umbrellas broken, is it that I didn't take care enough if it?? I need a golf umbrella!!

-Joe, Hua, Siang and me-

That's pretty much about it. Can't wait for the holiday to come so I can go to Queenland soon!! One more week and I'm going for holiday!!! YAY!! Still have one assignment to be completed before holiday. And three weeks after holiday will be finals and after finals I will be going home and eat my char koay teow, laksa, hokkian mee etc....

Bad Day

2 days ago, I was sitting in front of my computer playing games and I hear *knock knock* Sandra opened the door, and my manager's husband ask whether he can talk to me in private. So we talked in my room. Apparently, I was accused of backstabbing my manager a.k.a his wife. I'll name the person that accused me as AB. AB told the manager that I said to her that the manager doesn't like her, and is cutting her shift hours and gonna dismiss her soon. Well, there was this conversation going on between me and the manager, but I never say anything like that to AB and I'm very sure about it!! If I remember correctly, I only work together on the same shift with AB like 3 or 4 times and I'm definitely not close enough with her to tell her everything!! I hardly even have a long conversation with her!! Someone else told her that but definitely not me! That cause me nearly lose my job and my trust from the manager!! HOW COULD DO THAT TO ME WHILE I DID NOTHING BUT BEING NICE TO YOU!!!!!

Later, I found out that she is the one who made Sandra lose the job coz she put all the blame on Sandra while she is the one who did majority of the mistakes!! And I found out that she wanted the Sunday shift VERY badly and keep asking the other staff to change with her and she got rejected of course. She left a note for the manager and ask whether she can have my shift on Sunday and apparently she got rejected too. I think she is trying to get rid of me and Sandra coz we took away her shift. She was doing Sunday shift before Sandra started working there, I think she felt unhappy about it and trying to get rid of Sandra and now I am the one replacing Sandra but not her so she tries to get rid of me now.

I got stabbed really badly by her, what would you do if you're in my position?? She not only trying to get rid of me some more trying to shake the trust of the manager towards me!! The manager was really angry when she heard what she said to her and nearly set me off!! But, after my manager calmed down, she thought about the matter again, and she trusted me and believed me that I won't do things like that!! The manager also considering the fact that AB has the history of making her own stories last time and made a girl got fired and even ruined their relationship. Why she so bitchy one!! Never think what she had done that makes the manager to cut her shift hours and just trying to get rid of innocent people who came in her way!! DAMN YOU!!!

And don't you think I dunno what you have done! I saw it clearly and I just kept my mouth shut and pretend I didn't see anything!! WHY AM I SO NICE TO YOU AND YOU STILL TREAT ME LIKE SHIT!! Oh right... you didn't know that I know what you have done! serve me right.. I should have tell everything to the managers!! I didn't tell cause I always thought you are a nice person and I don't wish to see you get fired!! I'll still keep my mouth shut anyway... I don't want to make things complicated...

I still have my job and my Sunday shift at the end and I'll see what she will say when she sees my name still on there.
I'm really glad that the manager trusted me but not her... I can swear to the whole world that I never tell anything to AB. And I will never ever wanna talk to her AGAIN!!

BACKSTABBER!!

ps: I know I'm supposed to post up the pics of my one day trip to Sydney, well... I'll do that in my next post. So stay tuned!!

pps: GAWD.. I dedicated the whole post to that unworthy person...

Trip to the Newcastle Town

Holiday is over. I'm back to my mundane uni life. And I've got a part time job! Only 8 hours per week tho, but it's good enough to pay for my shopping and food rental fees. During my holiday, I spent most of the time working. All my tiredness, sore back and shoulders finally paid off when I got my pay!! *grin*

Of course, I also taken the chance to explore this place that I've stayed for half a year and for the next one and a half year. Not that I don't have the chance anymore, but when the uni starts, I will not have much time going out to explore anymore. Newcastle is pretty much a small town. I can't go to the beaches during winter, so I'll only do so when the summer comes. So left the historic places and scenic areas to explore. I wasn't able to go all of it because of the time constraint but I’ll do so in the future.

To save your time reading my crap, I present you the pictures. The pictures are not in order. The reason is I'm lazy to drag all the pictures down.

-lunch for day 2-

-Siang's lunch for day 2-

-Newcastle cathedral, very nice ol' building-

-from another angle-

-inside of the cathedral-

-I dunno what it is, anyone who knows please tell me-

-view from the cathedral tower-

-another angle-

-another angle 2, the round thing is the place called Stockton, another part of Newcastle-

-see how tall it is the tower is-

-we are all from INTI DCMAU-

-grumpy old lady-

-Fort Scratchley-

-Manning mah fort. Look! the battleships have arrived, prepare to fight!-

-Waiting for my food-

-my dinner for day 1-

- erm.. erm... I forgot what it's call, al funghi risotto?? something like that(dinner for day 1)-

-View from fort Scrathley-

-Nobby's beach behind me-

-Convict Lumber Yard, for the history, click here-

-just a clinic, coz it looks so different, but that's pretty much how the houses in the city looks like, some of it, not all of it.-

-I think this is interesting, 7 different colours houses in a row sloping down-

-Just a lookout area-

-the picture says it all-

If you are wondering why I have 2 different clothes, this is because I made it 2 trips there. Went with different people to different places. I still got tones of pictures, but too lazy to upload all of it here. I'll post it up in my facebook and my picasaweb. So check it out over there!

Conclusion: Newcastle is not that bad after all...

*Coming up next: One day trip to Sydney
