I'm a dork

Had my driving test at Willagee, guess what? I failed... in 10 minutes! MUAHAHAHAHA! How is that possible, people been asking me. I don't know what the F was wrong with me but I basically stuffed up everything. I got a complete 0. I didn't even get a single 'tick'. I was on section 1 and had 3 crosses on the boxes (we got 5 sections to complete) and he told me to drive back to the center and pull over. "You Failed"
How stupid can I go? I don't know whether i was too nervous or too relax. Hell yeah. I've been driving for nearly 6 years and I still can fail all these simple rules.

1. Did not turn on my signal and do head shake when I overtake the parked cars on the road that was blocking my way.
2. Did not stop when I see a STOP sign.
3. Stopping unnecessary at a junction when it was my road.

What the hell was I doing I don't know. That old bastard was also really sarcastic in the beginning. "Is english your first language?" "Yes~" "Were you born to speak English then?" "er, not really." "Then English is not your first language!"
Shit racist, my face look asian doesn't mean I can't speak English.
Ok, but the problem is still, I FAIL THE TEST!!!!!! $$$$$$$$$$

I have very good news for myself as well. I got a job! At Guardian Pharmacy, time to move on, quit Chemist Warehouse. Guardian Pharmacy is just 10 minutes from my house, I get to learn how to dispense, how to do consultation! Just what I need! Thank God! Signed the contract, called Ivana and all good. Final week at Chemist Warehouse this Saturday and Guardian Pharmacy!!! =) Happy!

WA license plate!

Went for my theory test today. WOW, i got 29/30. lol... it was easy but. Now gotta find out where I can get the fastest driving test, wanna get a driving license asap. Then i can go to pub without my passport too. Or buy beer and ppl don't ask me show him my ID, and then i say... "I got nadda". And they say "its an offence for us to sell beer to underage." Or go to supermarket to buy kitchen knife and they say to me at the counter, "I gotta check your ID coz we can't sell knife to under 18." "I don't carry my passport around dude and I am way over 18 years old."

Oh yeah, Lawry coming 9/feb for a week, the day my aunt gonna leave Perth. Busy busy, but at least I got to spend valentines with my baby. 어머님 아버님 신경스지마세요.

I'm looking for a 2nd pharmacy job, somebody hire me please. I gotta work over the counter, not being chuck outside the counter and do stock take, do labels, do signs, arranging the shelf, do the tills, sell perfumes. I'm a pharmacy student, I got drug knowledge all over my head. Throw me at the dispensing area please! Working once a week is not enough for me to eat. I'm hungry. =(

What a joke~!

Sat on a bus today and saw this notice, i can't help but to laugh at this notice. Obviously there is no such thing in Australia, I doubt the other countries. People in the world are still debating about the issue on whether a genetic map should be made for everyone in the world.
And if i did spit in the bus, they pick up my thing and got my DNA, what can they do? My ID card doesn't say the genetic details of my DNA.

And also, the driver carries a DNA KIT?! LOL!!! A DNA KIT can't be carried around. You need a lab!!!! Centrifuging and electrophoresis things like that. Clarify for me Mousie! Your genetic skills far greater than me.

Or maybe I am out of date, maybe they do have DNA kits in their pocket. But at least I know the government do not have my genetic details.

사라믄 모두 불완전합니다...

사람은 모두 다 불완전합니다.
그래서 비판할 것도 없고...
오직 사랑할 뿐입니다.
그렇게 살아가려는데, 잘 안되지요.
그래서 하나님의 사랑 안에 살아야 합니다.
하나님의 사랑은 그리스도 예수 안에서 나타났습니다.
오직 예수 그리스도 안에서 사랑을 할 수 있습니다.

This was written to me by my reverend (정목사) at church. I find it very meaningful and true.
No one is perfect in the world, therefore do not judge people. We should learn to love them. For god's love is in us and therefore we should live it out. Many people are hypocrites in this world, I think actually everybody is a hypocrite, including me. We criticize people but did not realize that we made the similar mistakes before. No one is perfect in this world, but some people in my life always expect me to be perfect. They give me pressure and continue to give me pain, they changes their mind and criticizes me in ways that I could never change. Sometimes I wish people would be more accepting than to continue judging, isn't it better to have a friend than an enemy? Trying my best to win their hearts but things never change. How much more can I give, I asked myself frequently.

Love is a powerful thing, but could love overcome the obstacles in life?
I pray that it will. Be strong!

End of Semester's Holiday

Sigh, time sure flies. Been working in the holiday, having soooo much fun that the time just went so fast. Never been a day I was so bored that I felt like dying. First 2 weeks straight after my exam, Lawrence visited me from Melbourne. We had soooo much fun! We went kayaking at Rockingham (that was when I got REALLY ill), to the theme park, movies, finally Rottnest Island.
Kayaking was great, i was not that 'muscular' so Lawrence was doing most of the job. HAHA! We kayaked all the way to the seal island, the seals came and played with us, they were indeed quite friendly. Then we kayak all the way to the penguin island. Some parts were really challenging as the waves were not as still when you approach the island. At Penguin Island, we saw many tiny penguins. At that time, they were undergoing feather shedding season. So they can't swim and do anything but to sit there for like 1 month until their feathers were completely replaced by their new waterproof feathers.
Adventure Park was alright. I was quite sick so I did not do much except to eat a lot of fairy floss. The guys went for the water rides. It was not bad for Perth's standard.
Rottnest Island was really pretty! I really love that place. The sea is full on blue, there were wild animals walking around and the sea water was so clear and refreshing. Loved it! As I was still VERY sick, we had to rent a tandem bike (double seater) and explore the island. Highly recommended. Rottnest Island was great!!! A+++

Well, after that Lawry went back, i became really bored but thank god I had my cousins. So we continue have fun and met more new friends too! Before Christmas, I was working like 4 times a week. So tiring. After Christmas, we went and watch almost every nice movies that were out in the cinema. During extreme hot weather, we will escape to our friend's house for the air-conditioner. HAHAHA! Other times, we just fool around and to the cinema. Of all the movies I had watched (I am Legend, National Treasures 2, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Enchanted, Golden Compass and many more), I still think National Treasures 2 is the best. Really like that movie. I hated Alvin and the Chipmunks, sorry guys, but I nearly slept in the cinema and the voices of the chipmunks were driving me nuts.

Oh well, back to uni tomorrow. Sigh, study hard~ 5 subjects this semester! What a pain.

Happy New Year 2008

Its 2008. I wonder if its gonna be a good year? 2007 has been a stressful and lotsa ups and downs for me. Big surprises, sadness, happiness... everything. I guess 2007 is a year for me to grow up and learn the outside world. Indeed it was 2007 that made me more mature and have more understanding about the real world outside. Grateful for 2007 but it is also a scary year for me. Now that it is over, 2008, what is going to happen? I've got my PR, what will be my main concern now? Studies of course, and my love life, my future. I went through 1st semester of Pharmacy and got good grades, 1st semester is always easy... but will i still excel in the coming semester? Will I still be working in Chemist Warehouse? Not sure!

I think 2008 is going to be an easy year i reckon. But 2009 is going to be another tough year, because I'll graduate from my course and will have to look for work, and where will I be? In Melbourne, or in Perth?

Yesterday, we played games at home, drank some beer, had desserts, invited cousins and a friend. We were playing Cluedo. It sucks, maybe we didn't really know how to play. Lotsa thinking there and I can't be bothered thinking. In just 1 hour, everyone just made a wild accusation.

Up til now, I still love what I'm doing. Studying Pharmacy and working in a Pharmacy. When people come to you and complain to you about their frustration because of their Cold, their pain, their headaches.. I just love to help them, give them the best option. Sunday at work, there was this lady with toothache who was on her way to the dental hospital. She wasn't able to hold the pain all the way until the hospital so she ran in the pharmacy to get some help. Her eyes were already teary and she couldn't speak properly because it was hurting so much. I offered her fast rapid pain relieve Panadol, but she said she doesn't want to do that as she wants to let the doctor know HOW much is the pain. Yup, reasonable, so I gave her anesthetic solution specially for toothache. Dip it in cotton bud and asked her to bite on it. That was the best option as it numbs the pain and is fast acting and it goes away pretty fast. I was quite nervous as she was getting teary and i could see that it was soooooooo painful. But after that, she was sooooo grateful and you can see the appreciation in her face and how relieved she was.
