4 more days left

What happened to all the stuff that you have been doing for the past month? Where are the posts for all of that? I never wrote them and never will.

Its not that i dont have anything to write or i havent done anything! I have done and seen lots of things while im here in Perth. Its just that ive never updated this blog for soo long, it seems tedious to write them here and post the pics at the same time.

I have lots of images i wanna share, but im just lazy to post them. I have lots of pictures taken during the memorably Red Bull Air Race, which in my opinion is the best event that i have ever attended so far in Perth. Its a once in a lifetime experience and i dont think i would encounter such event again ever. Its such a rarity and for me to witness it and absorb all those raw atmosphere, its intense. Anyway, loads of material to share when i get back, but dont feel like sharing it here.

So has boiled down to just 4 days. 4 more days left and i just cannot wait. I miss lots of things back at home. the food, the people, my friends, my family, my life.

I just want to get back to a normal life and return to my humble pc back at home which has been coughing blood a few weeks ago and needed a monitor and motherboard replacement. Great, now i have zero pocket money and those 2 costs a bomb. Guess ill be living in scraps for a month or two. Heh! its funny when im already living in scraps, barely enough to get by with what i have right now in perth. Trying so hard to save money, that extra bit of money to buy souvenirs and stuff for my friends, precious as they are and will be for time to come. I still havent buy some of the souvenirs for some of my friends and i dont know what to buy for some of them. Oh well i guess i do a little shopping on the last day here to get something for them. I hope they like it.

Well anyway, last week, something terrible happened to me in my lodge that ive been living for the past 3 months. Those darn frenchies! They recently accused me of hogging the internet, when i can barely get internet! Thats not all, i know that they know that they block me. Why they block me you ask? Well because that thought that ive been hogging the bandwidth. Since when!? Oh god, seriously, they just dont know who to point fingers at the correct person. They have no proof and i can show you that im not a resource hogger. And to block me to boot, thats gone to far. For me thats ok, since i can use the internet in school and i can live without internet for a while, but sometimes i try my luck and sometimes i can get in, and its godsend believe me. So one day they appraoched me and told me to back off and try to reduce my download speed. Excuse me? since when did i download anything on hours on end? And to think that the same person tries to block my access, is the same person to tell me to back off, im soo pissed. But i didnt do anything. I simply said, i didnt download anything, and that if i ve done something wrong ill just see if i can do something about it. I didnt apologise ( no use for those blockheads). At least they didnt pursue the matter and i just let it go , since i only got a week left here anyway.

Yeah a week left, nothing to fear anyway, just avoid them anyway. Its so easy, since i roughly know thier daily habits, since they are longterm stayers. But im lucky that thats the only incident ive encountered. And im fortunate that im not evicted. out. Heh.

Yeah so there was another incident, a real lame incident, based on a very flawed system of bus ticketing. Well what happened was, usually when we board the bus, we pay concession rates which is at 90 cents, for 1 zone ( limit of your area of travel) and that ticket can be used for 2 hours and within that period you can trasnfer to as many busses as you can, so long as its within one zone. Fine, its kinda cheap, considering that i pay $1.80 a day on transportation to and fro a day and that i have to take 2 different busses to get to the University. (Adult fare is $2.10 by the way and they still use the coinage system)

So it happens to be that the lady driver was having a bad morning, or having her PMS, we board her bus one fine day, and she told us to present our student card for proof that we are students. Excuse me, student card? We are students, cant you see? No she dont. She insisted on the student card. We dont have one. University doesnt issue one to us. Bam! $2.10 on the spot. We were like: ‘Dumbfuck! She’s blind!”

Okie some might argue that its their policy to ask for student card as proof. But 99% of the bus driver dont do that! Why should you? we are going to the university for pete’s sake! And the fact that they dont have such policy on issuing student cards for temporary students, is just plain stupid. Plain stupid.

Fortunately that doesnt happen often, and the fact that they are changing the system soon to the EZlink copycat kinda system and that its mandatory for university students to be issued a tap card, provided that you are a full time student, im lucky to be leaving soon!

Oh one last thing: (Click for bigger picture)

The whole team that i have been working with for my attachment program! They are really great people to be with and ill missed all of them dearly!
