Day Trip in Victoria
It's been a long time since last went on a road trip in Australia!
Thanks to Beres (A colleague in Australia), manage to relive the feeling again.
The day start off 0630hrs and end at 1930hrs.
Total distance travel was 680km.
Cover 4 surburb in Victoria...
From Melbourne setting off to Shepparton, from Shepparton to Bendigo,
from Bendigo to Ballarat, from Ballarat to Geelong and back home.
Shepparton is just a normal aussie country town.
Bendigo and Ballarat were the two of the three towns which formed "Golden Triangle".
In the past, both of them were gold mining town.
Although it's just a simple road trip, still enjoy it as much!
梦想
On the night flying back from Melbourne,
before boarding the taxi to airport,
after finish packing the luggage,
i was hit by sense of "lost".
Lost in life.
I'm like standing in the middle of the desert.
With no sign board and direction.
With only the sand and sky full of stars.
I can't see what lies ahead in my next step forward.
I ask myself....
What's next.....
我开始寻找下一个梦想.
不管梦想有多么不实际
只要朝着梦想努力
所付出的努力都是值得。
Thanks...
Thanks for the idea of asking the gang to write on card.
Thanks for the time taken to select the t-shirt.
Thanks for the effort for sending over the card.
Thanks for the thought of sending over the t-shirt.
(",) Thanks...
十一月二十六日 - 炒果条
Right here. Sitting in front of the laptop.
Aimlessly surfing the net.
Surfing and reading. Reading and Surfing.
Trying to be in touch with the events happening back in home.
Music and voice from tv break the slience in the room.
The slience so quiet which make the thumping sound from heartbeat easily heard.
Music from ipod liven up this moment.
Sensing the emotion from the songs.
Keeping the brain occupy and ear awake by paying attention to the lyrics.
Looking back the end is near...
Looking forward it seems so far...
Right now i'm still in it...
Project after project
Report follow by more report
Preparation follow by more preparation
Meeting follow by meeting
Queries answered
Uncertaintly arise
Felt success
Felt disappointment
Felt happiness
Felt anger
Questioning and fighting for own right
Pushing and demanding for work to be done
Mocking to endure
Rubbish to handle
Friendly smile on the surface
Bad mouth behind the back
How's it going, face to face
Fuck you idiot, behind doors
"Knowledge is the most powerful weapon one man need to equip himself with."
十一月六日 - 轻松 - 无标题
Recently there's revamp in the security guards team for the current company i'm station in.
All the previous security guard has either ask for transfer or resigned.
Anyway there is one particular new guard who just started working here ard 1 month ago.
He is an indonesian in his late 30s. At first i thought he is from Vietnam as there are lots of Vietnamese in Vic.
The first 2 weeks i met him, he was very friendly. Ex-ordinary friendly.
Whenever walk pass his desk, would ask how's my day and so on.
As i was quite busy during that period with the support and project in mind, don't actually wanna talk much and find him rather irrating.
But there's one day at that particular moment when i'm tired out and sick of all the work, i actually really "pay attention" to our conversation.
He was actually a chinese acupunture sin-seh while he was back in Indoniesia.
He had just got his Australia PR about 2 years ago. When he just arrived in Australia, he had to do 2 jobs a day - Despatch driver and Security Guard in Melbourne Ariport.
-- Admire him as he has the courage to come here alone and start a new life.
Now everything has settle down and he's in a business with his friend.
He also plan to start a acupunture business soon as that's his interest.
"We are all chinese and you know that chinese are good business man.Our mind is always thinking of ways on how to make more money. Ron, you are still young, you should start to strive for your future. Start to look for opporunity and plans on what you wish to achieve." he told me this.
What the priortiy for me now?
- Gain working experience
- Increase my income.
How? Volunteer to come to Australia next year?
Team lead has already ask for my opinion. But i say if i can choose i wun wan to come back.
But for the sake of $$? I would be able to earn the more with the allowance.
Such chance dun always come...
If another 6 more months, it will also make the resume more presentable -- 1 Year experience in Australia.
Had a dream recently. Strange part is that i can still remember it clearly after i woke up.
Its very rare for me to remember what i've dream.
Dream of a weather forecast news.
Reporting the temperture for the next day, lowest 0 degree, highest 14 degree.
Now is already summer time, such temperture can only be found during winter time!
Is ths a sign? Indicating that i'll here during winter?
Anyway, ask my dad to buy 4D and the number did not come out.
Favourite Song for now....
Boulevard Of Broken DreamsI walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me'
Til then I walk alone
I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone
Read between the lines
What's fucked up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone
Til then I walk alone...
Relieve, Glad and Fulfilling
The sense of achievement felt today is worth all the prepration and efforts put in for the past few weeks....
Its like today is the last day of exam and knowing you can get good grades.
Past 3 days were the critical period... 3 crucial days of implementation, success of the 2 projects depend on the outcome of these 3 days.
So glad that i've got this job. All the opportunity and exposure gain is tremendous. I will cherish it but will also continue to search for even better opportunities.
Given a choice between a highly paid job with routine work and an average paid job with interesting and challenging tasks.
Which one will you go for?
Me: Neither... Go for one that i love doing... Right now i'm loving mine :-)
