How rude and how ignorant he is

I had my clothes washed and hang-dried on the balcony at 8.30pm last night. And it is 2.00pm today when my undried clothes were taken off the hanger, put aside on a dirty outdoor chair by a stupid, ignorant, arrogant and unconscious person. It means the clothes only had 6 hours to dry under the weak sunlight of the winter (it's 19 degrees today, btw). Here, I did not count the time from 8.30pm - 8.00am because the temperature was so low for the water to evaporate.
An idiot, who washed his clothes, which was only half full of the laundry basket, tried to take the space to dry his clothes by throwing my clothes aside without realising that only half of my clothes were still damp.

There are 7 days a week, why doesn't he choose a better day? Why must he wash his clothes when his basket was not even full? Could he even notice that somebody is drying his/her clothes outsite and wait? No, not him. Such a waste of water and electricity. He thought the water is free. Oh, whatever is free to him, he thinks that he owns it and has the right to use as much as he wants, that explains he takes shower 3 times a day while everyone in every Australian household is trying to limit their shower time in less than 10 minutes a day. Despite the uncountable times I tried to tell him to be a bit more conscious (about everything: water usage, time to take shower, cleaning and tidy rooms ...), it just doesn't work for him. It's just like I am trying to talk to a duck. The only thing that works for him is money. Yes, he thinks he has money and money could bring him anything. In VN, he spends his money like a prince, which an excuse that it is 'freebies' money from his wealthy relatives - well, just like other saigon guys I've known, money means water - you don't have to pay for the water/money - why must you save it, it is free, right? Well, I'm nobody's mother to tell anybody what to do, let it be.

I feel so pissed off, because I have to re-dry my clothes while I was not the one to take them in. I asked him to dry my clothes again, he refused to do it. Fair enough! Just feel how rude ans selfish could a person is, trying to create his own space by throwing my stuff aside. Pissed!

Finding a self-conscious housemate has never been possible... I wish I have enough money to rent a little apartment, living alone. I know it would be boring, but it's much much better than living with someones often piss you off.

Well, that's for now. I could have continue writing this entry to 10000 words, but ... stop now. Bye.

Up and down

Well, I feel so down today. The reason was that I did not remember my lines for the Chinese oral presentation and it cut short the time by more than 30 seconds (which was very important in a 4-min presentation). Very often my brain just goes blank at the most crucial moment that requires the brain to work the most: in exams, during presentations, answering an interview, etc. After years and years of schooling, I still can't get rid of this problem.

I don't remember when was the last time I felt this way. Not so long ago perhaps, but it was just a slight hinch, but the real dissappointment and sadness often came when I did not get an expected mark for a test/exam when I was in Singapore...Singapore, yes, still Singapore, 3 years have passed but the memory is still vivid. Not that I love Singapore so much that I keep saying it. It is because 2 years in Singapore were the most memorable time I have ever had, with great friends, consistency in studying, and so much fun. Australia? nothing yet. Or only when I leave Oz then I will miss it? Maybe, I don't know.

Okay, ... the hurtful part is that I keep thinking that it was my fault. What if I remembered my lines, what if ... We had 2nd chance and unfortunately, I did not realize that I missed a few lines right in the first trial. My partner is a lawyet - Sukhpal - in my opinion, his pronounciation was not so precise and he seemed to be even more nervous than me, but he made it through, at least he remembered his lines and did not skip ahead. He also said that his personal standard is very high, which made me feel even worse, just like I've helped 'pulling' his grade down.

Okay, well, on the brighter side, the presentation was only 10% and the timing is 10% of 10%, which equals 1 mark of overall final mark, so ... be optimistic. Hope that I will do well in the last test and in final exams. I am expecting a real high grade for this Unit and really really want to achieve it. (I think the unit was not extremely hard).

What about other units?
Well, no idea what to do with Finance assignment now, just got a bit of clue ... feeling like dependent on others.
Management Accounting: started getting lost for 2 chapters, need to work extra hard to catch up and most importantly: understanding what's going on. I suppose 'the lecturer' is one of the reason I don't understand the content.
Laws: doing great (I think so), loves the tutor, love the old-lecturer (Samuel), new lectures are so boring (Genga's).

Okay, typing up few lines like this really make me feel better. Okay, FOCUS ...

Zaijian!

Oh well ...

Oh well,
What to say?
I have created this blog for a long time (probably about 4 years ago) and this is my first entry. oh ho!
In the past, I have had few blog pages. First was MSN spaces (which is a secret blog, all entries are kept only for myself, seldom log in there and write a proper entry), then Yahoo! 360 - should I blame Yahoo for removing it? - all entries were gone, at the same time I have 'Wordpress' - which I reckon the best page for blog, and this is ... blogspot.
- Well, why now?
- Just feeling like typing down some random thoughts, and daily activities, ... used to have this habit in Singapore, but completely forgotten it since came to Oz. Maybe this is the best way to talk to yourself instead of murmuring on the street and people look at you when passing by ... haha!

So, now, what should I write for the first entry? Something happy, sad, naughty ... or what? I feel like my humour sense has lost.

Okay then, let's talk a bit about studies.
Well, one more assignment to go: Intro to Finance. I don't feel like doing it at all. The result for mid-sem exam was under expectation: 63%. Can't believe I lost so much marks in MCQ, which I thought they were easy.
Law assignment - finished 2 days ago, now confidently smiling and feel sorry for those who are rushing at last minutes.
MA: don't like the lecturer (which is also tutor), her voice is ... erghhh, wonder where she is from? Which country's people have the surname "Leong"? Singapore perhaps?
Chinese: enjoyed first few weeks, enthusiastic first few weeks, now getting lay off, but it's still fine. Going for a field trip this coming Sunday to Jandakot airport (no need to mention, far far away).

Now, friends. Incredibly make 1 new friend this semester, and also giving up a few ... hoho. Don't even bother to mention. Sometimes, escape from a circle of 'too-free' people is good coz you have more time for yourself.

Hate to wake up 5am twice a week ... money is hard to earn. Hate those people who do not treasure the value of money since they always have a bank at their back.

Then, 20th b'day, purposely changed my b'day on facebook so that no body knows, even my housemates. Well, somewhere on the Earth many still remember my b'day. Anyway, it was a b'day with no present :D, simply an eating out.

I guess that's it for today.
All the best for myself till the end of semester.
Oh shit, it's raining and my clothes are all out.
