Finally, my winter break comes. I have a long rest.. 7 weeks.. It is just the first week of my vacation, but I feel quite bore and nothing to do. Anyway, I am going to review what I have done this few days.
Jobs:
I have been searching for casual or part time jobs recently. However, due to economic recession, I dont even able to get a job. Firstly, I went to Victoria Park with Chee Wen. When we approached the employer, they treat us nicely. Although she didnt reply whether she would employ us or not, but I was satisfied with her attitude. However, I have made a decision to reject her when she asks me to work. I am pretty sure that you guys are wondering why I will make such a decision. The main reason is the location is too far away from my living place. I need a long period of time to travel to there. Further, if I am working on a night shift, it will be quite dangerous and the avaibility of the bus will also be a problem for me. After I left the Victoria Park, I went to Perth city and Northbridge (Chinatown) to seek for a job. Unfortunately, what I saw were sales notices rather than vaccancy notices. Frankly speaking, I felt a bit disappointed.
When i came back from Perth city, Lucas told me that his friend got a job which paid him AUD 300 a day. Oh gosh.. why I couldnt get it? According to the information provided, I tried to seek for the job but it ended up either already filled up by someone or experience is required. Once again, I felt disappointed. Then, I submitted the application for KFC, McDonald, Hungry Jack and Red Rooster. Till this moment, only KFC have rejected my application without any specific reason being mentioned and the rest are still waiting for response.
Today afternoon, I met up with an Australian. He is a MBA student who is interested in learning chinese. If I able to get this jobs, then my food expenses will not be a problem. I dont need my parents to support my food expenses. I sincerely hope that it will be alright.
Just now, I talked with my parents. I got lots of feelings. I felt that my mum doesnt really believe what I was saying. However, one thing I am pretty sure - my mum didnt seem really happy when I mentioned that I might not go back to Malaysia during the summer holiday if I got a job that is related to my course. I felt that my dad have accepted it thoroughly.. but my mum seems not.. may be.. she really wish me to go back.Sometimes I am wondering whether I have made a right decision.I chose to stay here is because I wish to work to add value to my resume, but at the same time I am thinking off I should go back to gather with them. I really dont know. I wish to add value to my resume because I am pretty sure that it will easier for me to get employed and continued to stay in Perth after I graduated.I really wish to earn money to support my sister's studies and at the same time to relieve their expenses. So, which is the right decision?
Movie:
Recently, I am sitting in front of my computer to watch movies. Suddenly, I realised that I have watched all the movies that have shown in Astro On Demand. I really dont know what I should do after finished watching all those movies. Credit thanks to Alison for copying those movies for me. Haha..
Friends & Shopping:
Talking about friends, the first two that come across my mind are Alison and Chua Kit. We went to harbour town that day. It was really a happy journey. I really enjoyed it. Although I ended up didnt buy anything, but this window shopping was really great. Just suddenly felt a bit disappointed that all my secondary school friends seem has forgetten that the existence of me. May be I am the only one in Murdoch University. When they are discussing about an event, I am always the one who is being left out. The second reasonable explanation might be I am the one who alwyas didnt join them for activities during the last semester. I really dont know. But never mind, I am satisfied with my current life with peaceful and silence that I really like.
Permenant Residency & IETLS:
Last few days, I have recieved an email from the migration agent telling me about that requirement I need to meet to get a PR. When mentioning about the IETLS, I shivered. Honestly, I stil dont have confident with my english. The requirement of minumum 7 each band in General Training paper might be a hard task for me. But, I know I got no choice but go on with it.
Thanks for reading such a long blog.
