Vincent's Blog

Presentation, a big smile and hands on the counter (Big Joe's advice) is how you get your resume accepted.

Today, I went job-hunting at Doncaster Westfield with Big Joe and Yoong. After just realising my printer ran out of ink in the morning, I went to Office works to print 10 resumes. The lady told me to apply for Office works (I couldn't reject) and so I did. Handed most of my resumes to clothing retail stores, surprisingly and one to Bubble Cup (pressured by Yoong).

At the end of the day, I got all 10 of my resumes successfully handed out and hopefully, at least one will reply! Also, I had to 'obey' Big Joe's golden rule of: 'If I apply there, you can't. Vice versa'. He doesn't know I applied for French Connection after he left - Joking. Have it!

Yesterday, I went to Yum Cha at Gold Leaf, Burwood with my C.Y.S.M friends. The turn out was big, so splitting the bill came to $20/head - Good value. As usual, lots of laughs and lots of Har Gao, Char Siu Cheung Fun, Har Cheung, Siu Mai, Lor Mai Gai - I'll stop, I'm getting hungry.

It's a Sunday today, which meant back to training! It felt good to be back in the clubhouse and to see everyone again. I am determined to 'go hard' this year and can't wait for Chinese New Year '10 - the best time of the year, hands down. Hopefully, I can make it to Wednesday and Thursday trainings.

I have decided that my 18th birthday will be on the 12/12. A bit late because of preparation. I hate making choices, I really do. And to add to my rant, I really need a job - To pay for summer camp, to buy a new laptop, to add clothes to my closet etc. Money, oh, how important it is.

Happy Birthday to James Le; a good friend who is always smiling (I repeat: always).

Today was the beginning of my three month break - And what better to kick start it with badminton at the Boroondara Sports Complex. Despite getting only four hours of sleep because I had to wake up at 9:00 to book the court! It was all worthwhile and fun playing with Sherwin, Yvonne and David To. I have realised how unfit I am after today and hopefully, I can motivate myself to start running a route or laps around Greythorn park.

I also got straight into Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood after/hours before my Japanese SL exam. The storyline is really interesting and there is plenty of humor, especially the protagonist Edward Elric being mocked of his short height and the constant misunderstanding of who the 'Full Metal' Alchemist is. It is a must watch!



Before going, I just want to say goodbye to my two good friends who are leaving tomorrow; Han and Pennie, and wish them a safe trip ♥ Remember to buy me something (anything but cow turd, Han). Also, wishing Alda who is taking a H2N1 needle tomorrow, good luck and hopefully, to be alive in the end.

That's it for today folks =)

Hello boys & girls. I'm back!

Hopefully, I'll keep an active blog from today as I - wait for it.. have just officially completed my 'Victorian Certificate of Education' studies! So relieved and relaxed - No more head in books, practice exams and stress. To all the Year 11s, Year 12 is going to be the worst, back-breaking year of your life.. opps =) Good luck!

Now that I'm done, I plan to do many things which I have abandoned for studying.

To do list:

Definitely going back to lion-dance training on Sundays and (try to) get back in shape. I don't even think I can hold a horse stance for one minute now =( Year 12 has deprived my physical appearance - panda eyes from late nights of cramming and practice exams and no exercise contemplating to a build up in muscle fat - I'll work it off, you just wait. Oh, oh and as soon as Joe finishes his University exams, Junior training on Wednesdays will be back on track. It's time to be a lion-head/tail for Chinese New Year!

Play more badminton! Re-group with my fellow badminton team mates: Sherwin, Brendan, Andrew, Eric.. and Yvonne =P and hopefully play a good, serious, down-to-the-ground game of badminton. By the way, I recently got an invitation to presentation night which means I've won an award. And you guessed it, for Badminton! Oh, what good times on the badminton courts of the Melbourne Sports & Aquatic centre.

Work. I seriously need to find a job, so I can save up for Japan next year. I really miss my Japan friends. What I'm looking at, I wouldn't mind being a clothing retail assistant - discounts YA-TA! or a waiter at a Chinese/Japanese restaurant. Actually.. I wouldn't mind anything, as long as it is decent pay. Hopefully, I will get off this chair and go job-hunting with Ishan or Big Joe very soon.

And more:

Ice-skating with Y-koo
Experience the taste of Green tea Ice-cream
My 18th birthday (to be decided)
Karaoke!
CY Summer camp
All night Warcraft
Learning to drive.. after I pass my L's
Making a profit at the Casino
Drama

And even more.. the list keeps going.

Anyway, keep reading boys & girls - its only the beginning. To all my friends going overseas soon - remember to buy Vincent a present, surprise me! To all my friends who are stuck in Australia - poke me and we shall hang out =)

You & I - Park Bom (of 2NE1)



Been on repeat since Ishan sent it. Enjoy.
