Minor Miracle
I bought some German beer from Aldi the other day as they were on sale. And before I finish them, I found my gum stopped bleeding! Amazing, although I'm not quite sure if there's a definite link between the two. Stop spitting red foams while brushing my teeth would never be bad though.

Recently
I've been pretty hazy these days. I should have finished my prac book by now but it was not yet halfway. I know I got another week for it but I really don't want to spend the rest of my holiday working on that 30 page book... Now, who can tell me who is the "classic" producer in Sicily for Nero D'Avola? I know I'll have to Google such and dive into the ocean of frauds to get some usful information because I can't even find the answer on Wikipedia... Grrr...
My gum's been bleeding for quite a few days and for no reason. Especially when I brush my teeth, I spit red foams. I don't even know where the blood was from because I can't see a cut or anything. It's just there, bleeding.
Been a pretty crappy day yesterday. I don't touch basketball as someone knows me may know. I was dragged to a basketball field and standing at the side alone doing almost nothing for more than one hour, extremely upset but what else can I do? I just shouldn't have accepted to be there. It was so stupid just to telling that me ridden a bike there and stand for an hour then ride back. And when I was back home I found a birthday present for me, which is the one that I was most looked forward to this year, had been attempted delivered and no one's home! And the delivery people had left me a wrong consignment number that I cannot get it redelivered until tomorrow! I was so pissed off and helpless, but all that is left to do is wait.
The photos taken on my birthday is seen today... I don't know why I look so fat and my face perfectly round! I hate that and I'll have to work harder on my Wii Fit. Well, mentioning that, I had not touched it for over a week now cos last week was a real busy one and I've been trying to sleep back those times these days...
Ya better off for it now.

Difference
I noticed recently that many Chinese college or university students are complaining that their teacher doesn't allow them to cheat in the examination... What is wrong with them! They sound like cheating is perfectly justified because everybody does it, without thinking of what cheating actually is! I feel quite a bit of mercy to these guys but more of a despise. I can't understand why the student don't do what they should during term time and end up cheating in the exam to get a pass for the subject while they learn absolutely nothing after getting a diploma for the degree they are doing!
The overly extended intake of universities in China has been causing a huge problem, which makes people disrespectful the bachelor and even master degrees because it sounds like everybody is getting one. As the teaching resources are not capable in amount with the need of the students overly taken, resulting in horrible sacrifice of quality of education, and hence further reduce the value of the degree. Adding those guys that shouldn't be qualified for entry of universities entering and struggling with it, you could imagine.
The pay for the graduates, on the other hand, is horrible. A bachelor from a regular university would probably accept an office job paying under two thousand Yuan per month. What's the concept? In a regular city the rent of a regular apartment room for the person would be 600-800 Yuan per month, food is at least 15 Yuan per day, eating out would cost more than 30 per person. A T-shirt not from luxury brands costs about 100-200 Yuan. Transportation would be around 5 Yuan per day. That means a graduate might not even afford average everyday living costs. Now, what about the tens of thousands of Yuan that his/her parents thrown onto the higher education? There's not only no sign of higher pay in reward for the input, the graduates are even suffering from poverty after expensive higher education, isn't that ridiculous enough?
Not trying to give suggestions here. The universities is not to be blamed for extended intake. Parenting is different in China that all kids are expected to finish university no matter what they are actually into. This is a big problem itself as with the population boom and place of universities limited. The government's probably forcing the universities to extend intake to please parents without considering bigger disaster following up.
University, as well as other higher educations, should be offered and "Elite Education", people who are not really keen to or able to receive a university level education should not be pushed into universities, I would rather be happier to see them earn their own living early with some skills instead of struggling in the universities playing tricks for a pass and ruin the image of university as well as graduates.
It is gone quite a bit off title but I ain't keen to hold it back for such long days, so here it goes.

Round Trip, the Other Way Though
Back in Melbourne more than one hour late from Gold Coast as Qantas engineers strike delays my Jetstar flight... When the bus reach Southern Cross it's like 12:20 so no wonder no trains or trams anymore on a weekday... Took a cab home and have to change the linen something and take a shower, bed at about 2.
Turn back a bit.
I don't remember I have ever cried like that in a bus, well actually I haven't been crying for quite a long while, and I don't even know what it is for. We'll definitely meet again right? It doesn't work that way no matter what right? Why is it like something very important that I lost somehow while I've never had it? I know I did seem weird taking up two seats with my backpack, sobbing and looking around a crowded bus through my tears, I meant to stop it but I just can't help until it was like fifteen minutes to the airport that I managed to calm down. I tried to make myself cry last night on the bed but it did not work until I am writing such stuff now.
It's maybe that hug. I finally work out.
You remind me too much about that person I guess, whom I had never hugged like that from the front. I've not been imagining the scene we say good bye, but I never expected I would cry as I was like forgot how to, I managed not to cry in front of you though. You weren't easy at that stage as well, I could see that.
Home (not mine though)
I haven't been getting used to sitting at that table on the floor crossing my legs as I told you my durability is horrible, plus the sore legs I had from that climbing. So I have been virtually lying and shifting while we were talking. I noticed that you didn't get used to look at me while we talk, that makes sense though as following what you told me later. I've been enjoying all those chats like that, very much, and I don't think I have ever talk about all those stuff to a friend face-to-face... Bit too embarrassing isn't it? Sometimes for me, but I guess it gets lots worse if I were chatting to somebody else.
Mt. Warning
All I hope is that while that large woman went pass very quickly me saying sorry on the way down she didn't hear me say 'inertia'... The rental car stuff had been very frustrating throughout the day as we almost hit on all the tricks that stupid company made...
Dream World
Bit of regret not having played Tower of Terror, not the other one though... Well if I were having someone to go with whom I could grab while falling and screaming, I would probably go.
Brisbane city
I was to say that it was bit like Sydney with a botanic garden in CBD that I realized that Melbourne has one as well... Difference is, there's not much stuff special in the Melbourne one as far as I remember, while all what Sydney botanic garden had left in my memory was the annoying flies, this one in Brisbane is actually pretty nice, I think I only mean the wet land ecosystem part beside the river looking over to Kangaroo point though. walking in there was a pretty good relax.
Picasso
The one currently showing in GoMA is not actually all Picasso's work, instead, was his own collection of some of his work and the others. The show's been pretty nice but takes too long and I didn't know that prior that I got hungry at about 2/3 of it and had to rush through the rest and run out for a Subway. Well the other bad thing for travelling alone is that I would feel weird entering gourmet restaurants alone, which ends up junk food all the way...
BEAT
The last stop of my pub tour on the first night. Not much actually, only thing is I promised a crazy girl that I will say goodbye before leaving while I actually ended up not finding her before leaving... Well I doubt I had put any effort on that though...
Brisbane Airport
Like always, feeling bit of dizzy arriving a strange city. Worked out my way to the hotel without much trouble though. The train stop I was to get to is closed... I realize that it should be the case in Brisbane just like showground in Melbourne as well. It's alright though it only takes a 10-minute walk from Brunswick St station anyway. One thing embarrassing is just that the train opens theirs doors in a different way than Melbourne trains does as the button is not on the door...
Melbourne Airport
Been arriving early, a big Boost just kept me running to toilets...
