I Want Time!!! I Want additional 24 hours!!!

The subjects that I am now studying (this quarter) are as follows:

Skin & Nail Science
Cosmetic Chemistry - I'm going to make a skincare product on my own, haha!
Selling Beauty Product
Beauty Therapy Principles & Etiquette
Manicure & Pedicure
Temporary Hair Epilation (Waxing)
Anatomy & Physiology
Occupational Health & Safety
Nutrition
Facial Treatments - Foundation

Subjects like Skin & Nail Science, Cosmetic Chemistry, Nutrition and Anatomy & Physiology are academic subjects. This is really a tragedy to me as I need to memorize hundreds new terminology in these few weeks before I could get a pass in the upcoming exam!!!

To be honest, who cares about the structure of a cell and the function of organelles? Ribosomes and Cytoplasm are nothing to me. I wonder why I threw myself to the unknown situation with so many challenges ahead of me...Time is not enough, I wish I had 48 hours a day so that I won't fall behind of it...

Exhausted and was extremely tensed!

生活在Sydney - New Life New Things

繁重的功課與緊迫的課程實在讓我們吃不消,每天返學放學,回到家裡還要弄飯吃,打掃清潔也花掉不少寶貴時間,更遑論找消閒節目或四處去跟人聯誼了.

悉尼生活點滴,以圖片記事,如下:




Rockdale的小食店售賣這種廉價飯盒與小食,實在是窮學生的佳音啊~(才賣AUD4)



由於物價指數高,最後還是決定買部打印機來列印所需參考資料(表姐的朋友替我買的,照著指示去
做,我竟然也能成功接駁好呢~)

My nephews, so....hahahaha



一次煮足幾天的量,全部放進冰箱內,要吃便拿出來翻熱便可

Change in Life

初到貴境,加上功課考試繁重,三餐不繼,隨隨便便又是一餐,務求快快快,好騰出多點時間來溫習.

忙亂中便過了一個星期,獨自一人生活,脫離過往的生活圈子,間中也會想念起家人朋友,但對於新環境還是蠻能適應的.

由於澳元現正值強勢時期,每次當我想買東西時,總會有所遲疑,覺得物品的價錢過於昂貴,不欲花那些基本開支.

揮金如土的日子已經一去不返了,現在的我變得錙銖必較,拘泥於那十元八塊,連買一瓶豉油也不太捨得.

也許你會說,這不像你呀,我才不太相信呢,沒錯,連我自己也不太相信發生在我身上的這種變化啊~

忽然很想將這個blog的名稱改為"我在悉尼的清貧生活",或是"反樸歸真,回歸貧窮日記",其實生活沒有這般難捱,只是這次留學花去了不少錢,沒有這種覺醒是不行的,我可不想一貧如洗,兩袖清風啊~

說真的我不是一個很懂得替自己打算的人,未來的出路是如何,我大概有個預算,但真正會怎樣,我可是沒有頭緒,也不太著緊.

我明白很多人會認為這樣欠缺周詳,但人生的意義在那裡呢,安定的工作,穩定的收入?名譽地位愛情家庭?我這次留學,與其說是對將來的一種投資,不如說是找尋自己的一個過程.

有時候我會想,今天我所受的傷害,所有的難過都是自找的,我實在無須為了某些不重視我感受的人而傷心難過,我大可拂袖而去,頭也不回地昂首闊步.

我可以只想著自己,一切以己為先,任性地生活,然而這樣的我真的就感到快樂嗎?還是會比現在更難受?

從去年九月起,我一直難過到現在,雖然間中也會忘記傷痛,但惡夢還是揮之不去...

每次想起都悲從中來,記憶猶新,瀝瀝在目,聲聲在耳.

我不太懷疑別人的性格,結果為自己帶來最慘痛的教訓,我一直在想,我是活該的嗎?

但願我可拋下這一切,重新出發.

這是我的簡便晚餐 (真的非常隨便啊):


即沖湯,罐頭吞拿魚,麵包(表皮燒焦了啊~>_<)


某天到表姐的家裡,總算有頓"住家飯"吃~




煎餅


皮蛋乾貝豬骨粥


魚肉燒賣


雜菜炒米粉

That's all about the Transit Flight

前文提到本人赴澳之行李令途人咋舌,現將於越南胡志明市等候轉機時的手提行李陣容張貼出來,好讓大家對此有更清晰概念

要不是被那個爛agent所累,需要臨時找機位的話,我老早就乘坐了CX的航機,輕輕鬆鬆,簡單直接地便抵達澳洲的領土了,才不會像這樣扛著沉重的行李,如江湖賣藝者般手舉千斤!(其誇張程度,只差沒有打鑼打鼓囉)

越南航空嘛,真是乘搭一次便夠了,我之所以這樣說,沒有其他,不過是實話實說罷了.要知道那些服務員的質素,簡直找不到更惡劣的.

事件一

某空姐顯然是沒有經過正規的訓練,倒汽水的手法太過粗魯,以至衝力過大,坐在我旁邊的女士的一隻臂膀慘被徹底淋濕.

後來這位女士跟我攀談起來,告訴了我一個事實,嘿,原來我的衣服也沾了兩滴汽水呢~-_-

事件二

說時遲那時快,剛發生了"可樂灌頂"事件,兩名服務員狹路相逢,雙方竟沒有一方打算禮讓,讓對方先通過,硬闖之下兩車相撞,死傷無數(餐包丟了一地).

事件三

一位相貌出眾,美若天仙的空姐扶著一位老太太,舉步為艱地逐步走到她的坐位中,路才走了一半,別的服務員在催促著,這位空姐竟變得粗野起來,挾著老太太,企圖迅速的向前移動.只見老太太年事已高,氣力不遞,如何能加速呢?這位空姐於是板起了臉,手粗暴地指著最靠近的座位,然後身體力行地強行將老太太安頓在那座位上.

其後我忍不住看了這位空姐多次,她的樣子很漂亮,笑容也很燦爛吸引,但是她會間歇性地流露厭惡的表情,一念地獄,一念天堂,也許就是指這種情況吧?

突然我替她感到悲哀,即使外表很漂亮又有何用呢?一個人若沒有一顆美麗的心,僅有一張漂亮的臉蛋,她的美是空洞及虛無的.

總之在越南航空的服務員身上,我看不出專業的影子.

同場加映: 轉機時所分發的冷飯乙個,說不上好吃,但聊勝於無囉~

Life in Sydney

由香港到越南,呆坐4個小時等待轉機,其間每次上落飛機及過關,手提十多公斤的東西,陌生人總忍不住對我說:Hey lady, your luggage is too large for you 或是 Are you sure you can handle this?且不說手提行李, 寄倉的特大行李箱重達31.5kg, 起初地勤人員見到我的行李陣型, 都看傻了眼, 怎樣也不肯通融一下

洗髮水和一些可有可無的日用品而浪擲這一千數百元,不正是”為粒糖,輸間廠”嗎? 我才不至於這麼笨吧?!

於是得到一眾好友的幫助,終於成功地將行李”減磅”(其實不過是障眼法左袋放右袋,行李一點也沒有減少,只是感覺上較之前輕盈一點罷了),後來還爭取到免費多寄1件,否則以我的體力,不是找死還有什麼?

最搞笑的是,我竟然忘了將隨身攜帶的液體物件放進膠袋內封好,又將CUTTER連同其他文具放在手提行李內,幸好這次運氣好,沒有被發現,否則問題可大了,就違例攜帶危險物品,我會被列入黑名單呢,真的要感謝主喇~

昨天才抵達Sydney,今天便正式開始上課了,課程非常密集,剛完了課便要趕著上下一堂課,在後樓梯不停地上下奔跑,真是最好的瘦身方法呢~

一天下來,只覺得很累,不想進食,盼望假日的時候可以睡個天昏地暗囉~
