Sometimes when life takes a new step towards freedom, you tend to lose sight of who yu really are and what you’re doing. Now, I really feel that. What sort of life I seek in Adelaide? Seriously, what type of lifestyle and personality should I embrace while I’m so far away from my parents, my home and my self control. Goodness, I really wish I don’t have to worry about this. I guess these are the temptations while living in a western country where freedom judges your every decision.

I’m not judging. I’m just not used to this kind of things yet. You have idea what kind of things they do here in Adelaide. In Australia, actually, in general. No wonder people change when they’re here. When I say, you have no idea, I think, you really have no idea. Seriously.

That kind of lifestyle is definitely not what I look forward. I do feel lost every now and then.

Damn those Onitsuka Tiger, baby!

Exams coming pretty soon. I really hope I’ll be there for my exams. Sounds weird, eh? I can’t believe this but I think I fell in love. With chinatown. LOL. At first, I didn’t like going there. I mean, come on! Everyone there looks exactly like me. I rather stay at home and look into the mirror. After I went there like 2 times in 2 days, I loved it there. Never mind the yellow faces that stares at you outside the window. The food there is really nice. 5 dollars for an all you can eat chinese food. James with his food stacking optimization skills. I’m so going to play that trick on you, just wait for it. :0

I recently moved to Magill. A bit far from Mawson Lakes but at least I know I don’t have to go campus these few days. The people here are really nice. At least nicer than those people, those cheap people that I actually pay. Screw it. Had a great time actually. Life on the turbo fast lane, I would say. I just really hope things don’t get out of hand so quickly. Pretty pretty. BTW, Luung, Happy Birthday!

I nearly forgot, I’ll get a goal for you. Happy Birthday, Geetha!

post – script: It’s summer and yes, I do miss you.

From,

Hanjun.

One of the greatest night ever in Heidi considering how boring my life is in the suburban area of Mawson Lakes. Real shit boring living here. Believe me. I wanted to name the title as Booze + Food + Girls but I know I would be lying. It’s more of an award night, for those who represented the university in the recent university games. My name, apparently was on the team sheet for the South Australian Challenge. Although I wasn’t playing (I’m just a reserve and yes, I know, I suck at it), my team won. In fact, I’m not too sure whether they won it, all I know is my team made it to the final and for that, I’m awarded. Awesome!

The dinner plus party was held in Ed Castle on Currie. As usual, it was an Australian style party. A lot of booze and just a little bit of food. Bottomless booze. It was on all the uni’s tab. So, a lot of guys just hit the bar over and over again. Ok, I’m not a bad boy. I didn’t really drink that much. I guess the best part was having the opportunity to spend some time with my team mates outside the pitch or the locker room. Ran, Hugo, Susana, Donovan, David, Harry, Tak and Neil were there. Neil won the MVP award for the SA challenge futsal. I was even shocked when he won the MVP for table tennis. :0 I didn’t know he played table tennis. We even joked about starting a table tennis team with Neil as our coach.

Then, in the middle of the party, Dave just walked up a blonde and start chatting her up. Too bad, she has a boyfriend. Dave was pretty upset. haha. We cheered him on as he returns to our circle as if he scored a goal. He then told me to walk up a random chick of my choice and dared me to talk to her. “Great”! She wasn’t interested at all. It’s written all over her face but at least I tried and I have nothing to lose, they said. “Do you think Australian chicks dig Asian dudes?”, “propably not.”

By the way, my mechanical engineering project didn’t fail as predicted. Thank Goodness. It reached up to a metre. Wasn’t really great but at least it didn’t fail. I was really pleased by the fact that I didn’t have much assistant and time to finish it. I had to put in my own time, money and effort, no thanks to you guys.

I would like to end this blog post with a shout out to one of my closest coursemates in Adelaide, Norman. Happy belated birthday! Hope you had a great one this year. Below are some of yesterday night’s picture. I’m not a camwhore but at least my parents (their favourtie passtime is watching my weight) get to know whether I did put on an extra kilos.

Tak, Susana, me, David, Ran, Harry, Don and Neil

Cheers, Don!

post – script : Ozzies love to drink. You cannot believe how many cups some of the other award winners drank.

I’m drank responsibly,

Sometimes when all you do is look as everyone walks past you. In the streets of Melbourne, alleys of Kuala Lumpur and boroughs of New York, all you do is walk past someone. The one before the next one. Sometimes, it’s so lonely when the whole world is moving but you just want to stop and forget the world. When the time freezes, you’ll noticed me just around the corner.

The other day, I went for a job interview. A good opportunity, good job, nice pay and an awesome experience. It’s a 20 miuntes drive away, but I don’t have anyone to drive me there so I took a 90 minutes train + bus ride there. While walking from a closest bus stop to the factory, which was like 15 minutes away, I was attacked by a dog. Nice, the fact that I was suited up, with my white shirt and that skinny tie of mine. Plus, it was freaking hot that day. After all those trouble, I got the job. Despite all these stuff, I’m was really upset, because:

A minute of silence. I’m would like to take this opportunity to send out my deepest condolences and sympathy to Sathya and his family members. I’m terribly sorry for your loss. To be honest, I’m really speechless and shocked cause his dad never showed any signs of sickness. I apologize for not being able to be there. Rest in peace, Sat’s father.

The Orange Sky reminds us of who we are and where we were. We're one and we're home.

 

post – script : I dreamt of you too. I just am too afraid to let you know.

Thwarted,

HANjun
