It's been long time since I updated my blog!
A lot had happened. The autumn break has come and go and the Easter has passed (I went to Sydney Royal Easter Show) and it has been a week since the college started.
The new class was super boring, I was waiting for a chance to switch back to my own class, which sounds a bit impossible. And I quit my second fucking job, and trying to search for new ones now. It's hard, and I am really running low on money now. Australian currency is shooting up like fireworks and it's hard on my parents. Whenever I think of that, my whole day will be ruined, because I will end up thinking until I am tired, browsing for jobs until my eyes couldn't open, go out and search for jobs until my toes are swollen and legs turn numb, or I would end up not eating lunch or eat apples ONLY for lunch.
Oh yes, I am in such sad situation. I just couldn't find one and if I found a job I will hesitate a lot because I will think of whether it suits me or not. Life is just hard for me, I wish I didn't have so much imagination, it's flying everywhere and when I found a job, my brain will always try to think of negative thinkings to prevent me from taking that job, and sadly, the negative points I thought of are all true.
I just hope I could find something simple, cashier or moving stocks or whatever. Or maybe a word processing operator since I graduated from Certificate 3 Business and an ex-classmate said to me that it wouldn't be hard to find a job for my age because it's cheaper to hire young people. Well, that might be true.
I might want to work at a bookshop. Kinokuniya needs CV and I couldn't possibly have that when I have not even graduated from university yet. I have yet to try Dymocks, but I don't think they'll have any though.
Well, wish me luck.

Secret Garden (시크릿 가든), Hyun Bin's last serial?
I know this is last year's K-drama, but still I would like to share about it.
Secret Garden story focuses on Kim Joo Won [played by Hyun Bin (현빈)], who is a high-powered businessman and he owns a big department store which is originally his grandfather's. He is arrogant, annoying and many people, including his workers hate him. His life changes when he met Gil Ra Im [played by Ha Ji Won (하지원)], a stuntwoman who he mistook for the actress Park Chae Rin, and since their meeting, Joo Won started to think a lot about her and unconsciously imagining her all the time, which freaked him out, and he started to look for her every time he could. Gil Ra Im who finds him annoying, gradually started to fall for him as well, despite the harsh words and treatments from Joo Won. And in one occasion, their bodies changed, which drew them closer to solve the problem.
It's not waste of time watching this serial. When I first watched it, I thought this is very boring, but the first episode kinda left me an impression, that's why I continued with it. The reason I like this movie is because the body-switching occasion in the story, which is very hilarious moment, and I can't help laughing all the time. I think Hyun Bin has quite the same role as the previous popular K-drama he played, My Lovely Sam Soon (내 이름은 김삼순) in 2005. The only dramas I liked from Hyun Bin are these two dramas. In My Lovely Sam Soon, he also played as a 'rich guy', the difference of both serials is just that his role in Secret Garden is far 'richer' than the other one. But he is still funny in the movies and yeah, many people said he's very handsome, but when you look at his face all the time, you'll realise that he's not actually handsome. You can call it a momentary handsomeness. Or whatever.
Both the serials have their 'mothers' from the male side oppose to their relationship or marriage. Maybe Hyun Bin specifically liked these type of stories eh? Haha.
Anyway, it is said that this Secret Garden might be his last TV serial for awhile, since he's going to the Army for at least two years, which is sad news to the fans. He enlisted to the army on 7 March, which is a month ago and he was said to be teary in front of his fans who waited to send him off and he knelt down and bowed to them. But his rumored girlfriend, Song He Kyo (송혜교) cannot come because she had to shoot for her movie. Here are some pictures.

Anyway, I guarantee that this drama's song is good, especially this title 상처만 by BOIS (Secret Garden OST 3, track no. , I love it so much!

Autumn Vacation: Easter coming!
This week is the last week of college! Hurray. yay, whatever.
I started working at a new place, a sandwich take away. It's not much to do, but still hard to memorise all the menus. I haven't memorised anything heavy for a year, since I graduated from Year 11 at high school. Studying abroad is really too relaxed compared to my home country. For example, in Australia's high school, you can choose up to (I think) 8 subjects, and all of them are up to you. In my country Indonesia, you are not privileged to choose subjects. You are just given chance to choose either Social or Science Department (sometimes there is Language Department as well in few schools) and you must study and pass all subjects of the department you have chosen. I was in Social department, and the total of the subjects are 15. Science department would be the same as well.
It's DST last Sunday and the difference of time between Indonesia and Australia has reduced to one; becoming 3 hours. And the winter is coming, we're currently entering autumn and the weather is like 16-18 degrees in the night and 18-24 in the midday. One thing to do: start taking out your winter clothes already. ^^
I am so confused with universities these days, because I was a bit stopped by 'fees' problem. My family's financial is a crisis, and they have yet to solve how to pay my homestay fee for this April which is due this Sunday, the tenth. Now that I have worked, that means my parents don't have to send me daily necessities money for me anymore, but living costs and also the incoming university tuition I am going to enter this July is not a joke. My parents accepted the reality of me wanting to quit business and take International Studies as my major, and I was recommended by my agent to go to University of Canberra, which is in Canberra of course. And the living costs and tuition are very low there, just around $16,000 per annum for either International Studies or Business. The highest cost, I have checked is in the science faculty, which is only $20,000, where you have to pay like almost $30,000 in Sydney universities.
That would be my second choice out of 3. First, I am going to focus on UTS, and find out the intake, and if it's not okay, then I will move to the second, which is University of Canberra (UC) and the last one is TAFE again, and taking Diploma and Advanced Diploma in Business, then Business again until I finish my bachelor degree, which would be hell for me, because I am already giving up in Business, even now, I am struggling to finish this course of mine. That's why I can't wait for June to come.
There is a slight chance few days ago that I might be going back to Indonesia and I know that would be real shame for me and my family. I can afford to lose my face, I don't really care, but I can't afford to have my parents' face lost... they struggled so much for my tuition and the other families especially that 'monster' will sneer, I am sure of that. Anyway, if the subject I am gonna take is not going to happen for me, then, I have no choice but to choose TAFE and business. Back to normal.
It's 17.33 now.
And my room is so dark already. The sky outside is dark already.
This year's summer is abnormal; too hot.
I hope this year's winter will be abnormal as well. Snow maybe.
I wish I didn't come here.
I wish I was still in Indonesia doing my Year 12 and National Exam together with my friends.
I wish I could turn back time.
I wish my boss and my closest friend here weren't Koreans.
How I wish that I close my eyes now and open it again and see that I have taken my bath. ('cause I haven't)
:P
