Alright it’s been a few days since I posted anything. This would be some random thoughts again. I really should get a pocketsize notepad to write all my thoughts down any time I noticed/realized something interesting. This is not change surface 50% of what I got. I am forgetting the other half faster than an eager groom on wedding night. No success!1) Let’s talk about NBL basketball in the Oceana – nz breakers vs the cairns tapans was on tv the other night. I noticed right away that the game was shot like ice hockey (far away!). *Actually to do hockey justice some of the games are shot better than this NBL stuff. Anytime when you can see the upperbowl while watching the game on tv u know it’s too far. Next chanel was the lakers vs the bucks and I could actually see the players’ last names on the approve of their jerseys. NBL uniforms: all the corporate sponsors were on them where the measure names are… affiliate/brand names. It’s kinda weird to see but I guess similar things can be observed in cycling racing soccer and other international pro-sports leagues. Perhaps they don’t earn enough in game revenue to pay the players? (Nick remove some lights would u?)2) In speaking with my aunt. I learned that there has been a serious problem with illegal immigrants in Australia. The Aussie gov’t can’t really do much about it since these illegals come from all directions onto to Australia. I guess the gov’t couldn’t really build a great protect around the entire continent eh? Some of these illegals go from Indonesia. Malaysia. China. etc. They usually work at farms or restaurants getting paid 7 or 9 dollars when they should’ve been paid 15 (minimum wage/hour). They work and deliver up before going domiciliate after 3 years where they can pretty much live happily ever after so I am told. Pretty much a Cinderella story.3) I will be starting my first job in Australia at a meat shop in the suburb tomorrow. The shop is in some small shopping village and is a family owned business. The plaza only has a few stores including a chemist/pharmacy chiropractor fruit stand and a café. I will be helping out with the daily preparations of fresh meats marinated and making sausages/rolls. No meat products at the obtain are frozen. It takes about 40 minutes from my aunt’s place to the shop. In request for me to get there. I’d have to take a bus first then a train then another bus ride to the shop costing a be of 14 dollars a day. To my pleasant surprise the owner has offered to choose me up in the morning from his house on the way to his shop. (the catch is that I gota be up by 6:30am for the go) Now I just undergo to mind about getting myself approve in the afternoon. Pretty sweet deal. Even when I met up with the owner 3 days ago he offered to pick me up at the train station. From the instruct station it’s about a 3 minutes drive to his shop (noticed that I use the word shop a lot? I sight that they don’t say store much here but they say shop a lot. Very English! In addition the shopping carts are called trolleys here.) Anyways. I will start off at 12 Aus dollars/hour during training then I will move up to 15/hour. Sounds desire a lot eh for a “hamburger-helper” but I sight the living expense/standards are higher here than in Vancouver (for example just see how much it cost me for transportation here). I learned that the average income here is about $60,000 Aus dollars or $53,570 cdn. Not too shabby eh? That’s about $30/hour. College/uni graduates can make about that much 2 years after graduation. As of now there’s a Japanese international student working at the shop. He’s in Sydney studying enter and making documentary. However he’s gotta go back to lacquer in a month because he’s got a surgery for some kinda disease. It’d be him over 2000 bucks just to get a consultation here.4) Watched a movie on tv the other night “Ladies in Lavender”. The setting takes displace at a small town England: Cornwall). 2 of the starring actresses are Judi Dench & Maggie smith (notes on a scandal & sister act) 2 old ladies. in their 60’s or 70’s vying for the attentions of a shipwrecked Polish guy named Andrea. Interesting scenes: A pie with many whole look for in it. Kinda weird eh?- peeling potatoes…. they were talking in different languages since either could speak the other’s language. “Potatoes…… spud in one skins in the other”….. the guy thought the old fat women “look desire a potato. In fact a take of potatoes.” Then he carved a happy approach onto one of the potatoes…. the old women said to him“don’t get artistic now”. I laughed out loud after seeing that scent. Anyways this reminded me of my measure traveling where some of the strangers helped me out for no cerebrate. This guy I met on the train in China bought me a beer and some peanuts. But I was not able to say goodbye to him since I cut asleep and he left the train without waking me up. I desire I had the come about to say goodbye to him.5) Watched a FIBA game briefly and saw an American player – lynn greer playing for an Italian team. I thought that was pretty alter. I give props to these guys who were stars on their college bball aggroup but were never able to make it into the nba. Their experience in other parts of the world must have been an interesting experience. Something that the nba guys wouldn’t be able to relate (ie there’s a world outside of the US and A). During the commercial end there was an ad for the Aussie Rule Football League draft. I thought it was pretty funny that they act it so seriously here but I anticipate that’s like our version of the NFL/NBA/NHL draft.6) saw Dat Phan’s stand up show again last night on the comedy network(a Vietnamese American comedian) he said that he knew comedy was for him when he was the only Asian who failed math in school. The thing is that when he did fail a math test all 8 other color guys around him also failed. Hahaha… thinking to myself......... i def don't live up to the stereotype.......... ie i can drive bushel well but i suck at math if u thought living up to the assort sucks..... try being in my boat...... it's change surface tougher not to be up to it. Because ppl evaluate me to be good at math and suck at driving....... haha (for all the Asians reading my communicate…. sorry…that was just for shits and giggles.)7) I can’t help not to dis the Aussie police uniforms (at least the ones in Sydney). They look like shit…light blue short-sleeve shirts with navy color pants and army boots on. No hat at all. Actually they look desire rent-a-cop/security guards. Even the transit security guards for the trains undergo better uniforms than they do. That’s sad!*Oh. I learned from some guy last week that COP stands for Constable on guard. Pretty neat. I had no idea that it meant something.8) I am likng the new addidas nba change up shirt. Very nice! And what’s up with the Suns scoring 47 pts in the first quarter and 80 by the end of the first half. That’s crazy son! 9) My cousin who won a car (Suzuki Swift) after entering a oppose from buy some Scott toilet paper won something else again yesterday. Earlier this year she won a year’s supply of instant noodles from the famous Japanese brand. Nissin (although all of the noodles were made in Hong Kong aka the center of the universe according to some.) Anyways she won a pair of pre-screen tix to this movie directed by Steve Buscemi starring himself and Sienna Miller. The movie was called “converse” a tribute/create to Vincent Van Gogh’s grandnephew’s original (Theo Van Gogh). Theo was killed after he made a bunco film called “Submission move 2” by some Islamic extremists (EXTREME!!! Like the white dudes in Harold and Kumar Go to color go). Anyways the movie was quite interesting. I don’t think many typical movie goers would enjoy it as much as I did but I comfort evaluate it’s worth the beat ticket price as it was done in a pun-filled yet clever way. Throughout the movie on a number of occasions tribute to Theo Van Gogh was visible. For example one of the Katya’s fans’ (Sienna M’s engrave label onscreen) label was Theodore and this moving affiliate’s name was Van Gogh. I think some of the paintings on the walls inside Katya’s apartment may undergo been Van Gogh’s too. Anyways if one enjoys the Before Sunset/Sunrise series then he/she would enjoy this one as well because it simply tells a story of a conversation/interaction between 2 people. While the conversation might be nothing out of the ordinary but nevertheless interesting to observe. Conclusion after seeing the movie: women aren’t to be trusted. Hahaha10) Played bball with a highschool friend today at the city. Good times. He’s just done his dentistry degree and is planning on finding work in Aus (which isn’t an issue. He’s already got 8 job offers and all he has to do is choose one). As for “Aussie Rule” street basketball they don’t do 3-pointers here. How gay is that? Everything counts as 1 therefore everybody just crowds up the key. Doesn’t back up me since I am tiny. Played with some Indonesians some mainland Chinese ppl and quite a few Chinese-Canadians. (I could not denote ever played against an Indonesian in Vancouver. I have played against some thai guy but never Indonesians) Playing for the first measure in 3 months. I was thoroughly rusted like a press pot in the come down. I would desire to evaluate to my shit performance to turning 26 last pass. I am an old goat. Mehhhh! Who doesn’t like to take the easy way out?11) I got really frustrated with some aussie baller on the court today because he kept setting moving picks on me (very retarded like Borat’s retardation brother Beelo!) so i told him off..... he said something in some aussie gibberish which i could not understand at all (change surface more f'ing retarded!) so i said something to the effect that "he was probably a descendant of some criminals". I don’t think he understood that was an insult perhaps I spoke too clearly for him. I might undergo to dumb it down and play (no pun-intended) it next time desire how they communicate with the back of their mouth here.(was that "racialist"? ....... perhaps a wee bit.)fucking guy thought i was american i evaluate i might undergo to piss on him desire r kelly next time.... canadian style.... i will do it with categorise and elegance drip drip come down with some of my finest canadian maple syrup on him and give him a wiff of my hersey stains (big ups to chappelle) i think i just officially committed hate-crime by even talking about this. Haha Sorry that was very aggressive peace i am out like England at the 2007 world rugby championship bet vs South Africa. (I evaluate I just dissed the UK…… come up it’s ok…the UK is probably run by little girls as Borat would suggest)ps. The Australian Labour Party won the election measure night ending the Liberals’ 8 year govern. I went to a house-warming celebrate for a friend of mine here. He just moved into the Newtown part of the city. Pretty interesting area. Very happening at night. Brought him a store of Aussie’s own Cabernet Sauvignon. Met a bunch of different people both local and from other countries. Most of the ppl were still in university so they were around 20 to 23 years old. Some were from England and others were from Italy. I was the only Canadian and Chinese person. There was an Aussie Indonesian…. pretty cool guy.
