Ping love Joy

28^th April 2007, Where am I? I am in Brisbane Australia. Trying hard to get a job as a cleaner or waitress or fruit piker. What I am going to do is a joke but part of my life. Almost two weeks past. Did I learn something or find something new? No. I answer myself. Indeed. You might not going to believe this. I even think back Taiwan rather than stay here. The main reason is environment are quiet different from where I was in Santa Barbara U.S. I have a school program and host stay who take care of me. At least my host mama is a local American. She speaks excellent English and I must speak English to her too. Now I live with Taiwanese family who speak also excellent language too but is a Chinese. Oh…. So sad. To save money so I didn’t apply for a school. To save money I need find a job here. I felt stress form all of negative things I encounter now.

I went with my friend to deliver our Resume more than five shop today. Actually, I don’t think we will get any phone from the shop owner. After we came here, we know more about the situation here. If I were employer I won’t hire someone who only can work in my firm six months. Otherwise, I don’t have confidence in my English ability. For me is really difficult to know the entire vegetable name. I inspirit myself to stay longer even I do not work is fine. I should keep learn that’s what my purpose to come here. I want to take a Master. I know I will. This is a first time I feel I am not strong and very weakness. Or I push myself too hard? I miss the family I use to have when I was in Karen’s house. That’s a real family where I should back too. What I chase for? Chasing for what? I don’t have any idea. I do envy someone who can just go to school and concentrate on their study. I hate I can’t do this. So even I am sad but I will find some thing special. And change my mind. Be happier. No more complain just be myself and appreciated what I have now. Thank God. Amen..

Wow…Shit. Why so many things just come out at the same time? Today is not my day. Even I went to the Buddhist in early time and be honesty setting in there almost three hours.

Reading the BBC news is really helpful for improve my English ability. Then I got a time today. Opening a Radio and listening to the BBC news. Meanwhile I tried to open the .phf file as well but I couldn’t. My Adobe 7 is reminding me to upgrade my information or it can’t be used. Everyone knows that usually we are poor and smart. So I just ask someone to help me out in all of useful systems in my laptop. Of course, it must be free and some illegal. He didn’t fixing it all. So register problems is coming and continuous pop out in my screen. What can I do? I am in somewhere far away from Taiwan.

After two hours, I search it free installer on PC HOME.com. Now see I can use my iPod as well. Of course, the Adobe 7 is also correctly in my laptop. No problem at all. I tell my roommate who is also not good at computer that I will be an export of computer after one year. For no one could help me in Australia. Otherwise, I don’t want to wait someone far away sent some email to me. It doesn’t solve the problem in time. I need it now. So I fixed it by myself who is lovely and intelligently.

To celebrate my successful in this part. I went to kitchen and reward myself whole big plate Salad. Today isn’t my day. Count on tomorrow.

Oh….safely pass few days…not thing special for just study at home and eating some food.

The people not always feel happy even they are traveling. So am I. You must don’t agree with me. Right? Because you might think I am not a thankful girl. What I am doing now is a great job. They don’t have chance to do it or they even don’t dreaming about. I don’t know the reason too. I just couldn’t stay at home whole day long. Let’s get some fresh air. So I talk to my friend and ask her to join me to the Sunnybank Hills library.

See! It’s really nice to walking on the foreigner country if there is no traffic. It will be better. We walked about half hours under the strong sunshine. But it just fine. I made jokes during the time we pass by the trees and busy street.oh. the important thing is we save about two dollar of bus fee and exercised a lot.

By the way, It doesn’t difficult to get a library card in here. You only need bring your passport and take one of envelope. The one must be sent something to your temporary residence where you stay in this country. Thanks God. I have one form Taiwan. My books for Learning English. We borrow two books with eight movies of DVD. My friend watched before me and she think the movies we borrowed were really nice. I was study in my Global Talk through the laptop I bring. See what a hard working student I am is. Hay…. Let me tell you the truth. I always wake up late so I must run up to catch up the schedule I make.

The only thing need to celebrate is the meal I ate this afternoon. Some fried vegetable with big pork steak. Oh…so delicious. You should try one. Even I am not a money maker but at least I am a good cooker.

There is a elementary school near by our home. We usually take walk before day is dark. The drought is spread out in Australia now. So the playground isn’t look beautiful. Many Chinese live in here. I think they do like the weather here. As my great hometown in Taiwan. Don’t miss me too much. I’ll back in shortly time.

Tired Monday in Brisbane

I couldn’t sleep well last night. Perhaps, I need a time to accustom the life in Australia. Don’t you thing so? It’s been a long time since I come back from Unite State.

Many things are fine in here where I stay. The host is quiet nice to me and also the housemate are all of Taiwanese. So I do not have problem communicate with them.

I go with my friend who just takes the same airplane with me. She has a friend live in here about five years. Oh.. I must tell you is a magic that she is live near by our house maybe about only two blocks. We went out for the lunch at MacDonald under the City of bus station. We bought a daily ticket. It cost 6.8 AUD dollars. I felt I am a poor girl in that time when I paid the fare on bus. But think other ways. The drinks also cost a lot. Remember the first day I just waiting for my friend to pick us up at central station. For change some coins to phone her . I went to a shop and bought a small battle of cola. It cost exactly 2.95 dollar. Oh…. What’s a hell? I’d better go back at that time. Every thing is expensive in here where I am going to stay about one year. My bank will like to hear that for I might be a potential customer to them. Because I need a loan in near future.  Hay…doesn’t funny at all. I am very worry. No other way to figure out. I must to do some work in here to earn some money for allowance my poor wallet.

 By the way we took a bus and go to the city and go around to see their library. And then took a ferry to the Queensland of University. It was a nice experience for me to stand on the boat and take some photos there. Not so many people use that. Because the time was working hours and was Monday today. The campus is quiet nice and big. We even went to the business library and saw a lot of Asia students there. I have to agree with my friend. It wasn’t a good place to learn English for even you don’t know the English well. You still can go around a city. it doesn’t have problem. Ok…. when you read till now. You must think my English is really not good. right? It’s OK… Just tell me a truth. I need to improve my English so I came here to learn but I also want to explore my life and share with you guys but I don’t want to type in Chinese. See….the outcome is I am a good girl and you will see how study hard I am thought my blog in here. See you guys soon….     Eilnor
