"When in Rome, being like a Roman" so when people drink or smoke ganja for instance then i should do the same things, Yea right I'm not Damn. Hell no... i do what i like how i want it. if it is cross the limit for sure i will act. i understand if they say "it is the culture" then i can say "yes" i don't like it and it doesn't suit me then". so when things bother me and i did nothing to do about it of course i will act... calling police for instance if people drink, drunk n being stupid and too laud at 1.30 AM in front of my house when i have to sleep and have to wake up in the morning.
i just want to hang out with normal people, those who knows when to party and when to stop and appreciate neighbour.. those who knows there is kids sleeping next door. those who knows the limit to be too drunk and stay up a whole morning and go to work late the next day. a normal people who appreciate life and the health God gives.
im not saying stop having fun and enjoy life... do whatever u like as long as you don't bother anyone. party till 12midnite weekend in someone house i think it's still ok, but party till late morning at someone house is unacceptable. i don't feel like i miss the fun coz i hv my own definition of fun and enjoy youthful. yes this is just my frustration just a thought. as soon as we move out of this neighbour (which some ladies i met call it "party house") i would be so much happier and stop complaining. im looking forward to it.
anyway, summer is officially here... i usually wake up freezing and feeling cold, but not anymore... in fact i put the fan on the whole night. it is beautiful and sunny day and i like the sun here... back home is different... so humid and make you sweat alot.. but here is nice... im not scare of the sun like back home, i search for the sun and i appreciated it more coz now i know how it feels like in winter with no sun but freeze our ass off sitting in front of the heater.. it wasnt even winter but feel like winter.
ahh at least i have couple months to enjoy the heat and beautiful manly beach. im still loving US more and i dont thing this will change..but here in Oz, the money and weather are so much better... i just got my medical card when i can go to public hospital for free. (that's what they say) being an immigrant and away from family n friends.. health care is very important for me. another most important thing i need is a stable job... i might be a well educated woman back home with my master degree but here in Oz it doesn't guarantee and it might not counted. speaking English as my second language it frustrate me sometimes. i guess i have to go to school and get some kind of certificate... i dont mind to do anything for now as long as i make $$$.
speaking about language.. im so get use to the swear words and they swear alot i mean not everyone but at least those people i hv meet so far. it is like become apart of their language.. f#ck, son of th bitch, @sshole, sh#t, mothe f#ck, etc etc... you name it they say it... it comes out of their mouth like water... so easily.. i really cant raise my kids in this circumstances for sure.
Christmas tree, i bough one for Shea and put the ornament and light. i had never had one in my life as i never celebrate christmas. friends back home might wonder and mock me "uhh you celebrate xmas, you are not christian, what the hell are you doing, bla..bla..bla.." for me Christmas is like new year, it is a festival. sometings nice to celebrate..... it is not like going to the church and pray... none of these people i know here goes to church. (i guess it's an option, or i dont know... may be i have to ask and have an discussion "the whys" with them) i care less coz when it comes to religion it is very private, sensitive topic to discuss with no where to end and something that only you and God knows... i got Shea a yankee hat i found in Waringgah mall, and an ipod (since i broke his) nothing fancy. he doesnt like me to shop and buy things expensive. the only time i can is throu this festival or birthday.. he has no excuse to preach me about saving money becuase it is Christmas.. i told him "enjoy life" you work hard you deserve it.. why should u wait till you r retired to enjoy money you work for it... by then you will have limitation of health and it wont be fun.. lol (just joking)
Shea promised to show me a real xmas, i asked him "what do you mean with the real xmas" he keeps saying it doesnt feel like one here.. real xmas for him is a white christmas with snow, xmas trees, family around and xmas carol. ahh i cant wait to see the real one.... must be fun like in the movie. i asked him my xmas present then he pull some $ for me to buy my own xmas present then he asked me to give it to him then he wil wrap it then give it to me back... ahhh it wont be fun it i know what's inside..
in Manly church, they have the play on stange and these camels parade.. family brings their kids there and see the animal, it was fun and the kids loved it. i cooked Indoensian food. and invited friends who are away from family just like us. they loved my food. xmas day spent on the beach, scuba (our British friend) purposed his gf to marry him on the beach infornt of everyone, it was so sweet and romantic...my 1st xmas i sydney------> i can say so far so good, as life is good (when you appreciate little things, just like a penny wont make a dollar if u only have 99cent, so yes a small thing sometimes..makes it matter)
MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!!!
Wish you all have a great one
