Whatever happened to me? Was I busy? Yes. Did I fall ill? Yes. Did I injure myself? Not on purpose, more like the case of transportation accidents. Say for instance you are on a tram and due to population issues, I had to stand; the tram slams on the brakes twice and I lost balance with this I would end up with a bruised hand or a shoulder or arm. In this case, I ended up hurting my neck! I cannot sit facing the computer without feeling nausea and so I've avoided long period of computer use. I stay on for less than an hour at best.
I blame immature car drivers that do U-turns on tram ways for my neck and shoulder injury. I blame taxi's for doing U-turns on Friday/Saturday nights for my bruise on my hand. Oddly, enough there is nothing you can do about these crimes. I mean, these reckless drivers are endangering and making healthy people semi disabled for what! For whose benefit, I dare to ask. There is no compo for such incidents on the roads, as they are all too common and too general as some pollys have stated.
I have spent most of my ill days holed up at home lying down listen to pod casts on Japanese phrases. On better days I would catch up with friends before the year is out or I play "Sacred 2: fallen angel" on the PC for an hour and no more.

アリス九號 (Arisu kyugou) = Alice Nine
As of recent I have been fascinated by a jrock band, they are part of the visual kei movement, which is an unknown in the western world. I love ALICE NINE and their costumes, i am so jealous of their jackets, totally want to get myself a copy. Perhaps one day they would have an exhibition like Kylie Minogue had for her video clip and concert outfits. Seriously, their music is a great fusion of Japanese and rock. Some elements of Korn and Linkin Park yet unique.
"Ruri no ame" is the song that first caught my attention when accidentally stumbled upon while searching for audio and video clips on japanese language. The video clip is like a reminiscent of Kyoto's summer, nevermind the fact i never been there in Japan during summer but the video transports you there, and to find the lyrics mentions summer, summer rain, it all comes into place. So serene. We are short of summer rain in Melbourne. Lol.
The others songs I have come to adore are "rainbow", "tsubasa", "blue planet", "eraser", and "cosmic world". My ears have yet to adjust to "kousai" and "velvet", and so on.
Somehow I prefer checking social networking site updating my status or wall comments via my mobile. However, when it comes to uploading files or downloading i prefer using the PC/laptop. I like things that are nomad and mobile connected web applications. Sorry, to those who wanted me to sign up to FanBox Tagged, Friendster, Myspace, VOX, Bebo, LiveJournal, and so on. I can be so lame.

September 2008
6th September, Spirit of Tasmania the ship had an open day by invitation only. My father, mys sister and I went to check it out. There was food sampling, tourist activity promotion, and accommodations plus resorts. The ship was enormous and glamorous on the inside. The rooms look like a decent hotel room. En suite included as well. The fresh air on the upper deck was sea salty slightly chilly cold but refreshing. After months of work on the land, some sea side break away is nice.
The neighbour without permission drilled and bolted a 2m iron gate against my property and yes, it swings open against my wall. You can feel the earthquake when it slams. Mom and the neighbour negotiated to move the gate against the bordering wooden fence for good measure. What else would the neighbour do behind our backs, eh? Damage to property is unlawful!
13th September, 7:45am Sha Sha our family pet guinea pig died of a heart attack. A sad time for us all, especially mom and my sister, they took it pretty bad.
FYI.See most world monuments in miniuate style

26th September, Unconfence web 2.0 "Learn through play".
Upon entry is registration of name and sign permission to have your picture taken during this conference. In the foyer you can see Wii Sports was setup for use and so was Wii fit in another section of the foyer. We all congregated in the community room, here we were introduced to the concept of unconference and the general principles.
We had to sort our selves into a group of 10 people and everyone in that group must not know each other. Then we told to allocate a person from our group to be the pilot. hee hee. in my group there was only 1 guy and we all instant named him our pilot. Each group was given paper, elastic bands, and sticky tape. The goal was make a missile and see which one flew the most furthest. The group that made the big paper ball flew the furthest. Our group got noted for looking most anaesthetic of all missiles. hee hee. While those who threw the sticky tape was ingenious but was disqualified. After that butcher paper (big white post it notes) was laid on the ground with colour markers. We are all asked to write down topics of interest which is related to Internet and library. Bold and not knowingly I wrote down "information overload and that we need to keep it simple for staff and patron" in this modernity. Once all the topics are hung up in the window and being rearranged, they were allocated into time slots, and you who wrote the topic was to mediate the session. Quite the shock. I have not prepared anything nor was i ready to wing it. Luckily for me I had Zoe help me out and we co-host mediated the session.
The session opened with too much online products, Internet progression drives the change of services, then organisational change is bound to follow suit. But we are more or less not prepared for the change of our traditional roles. Just because patrons have expectation of us should we bow down or should we be more diplomatic and be selective of what we should be expected to skilled in. Many patrons seem to treat us like computer technicians than librarians when it comes to Internet and computer problems. Many of the queries are not about the library website or online services. Also other organisations such as Tax Office and Immigration Office has pointed citizens to their local library to download or fill out forms online. However, library staff are not trained to do that due to privacy reasons and out of library services scope. Also people see the library not as the place to ask reference questions but a recreational place or Internet cafe.
Morning tea break with cookies and Wii.
I chose to attend MLC Skoolaborate session conducted by Mr. Westly (my bad spelling). Schools from all over the world come together online in Second Life environment yet Skoolaborate's portal to learn from each other or undertake educational units or explore or collaborate on projects or create online teams. Second Life uses PDT time (pacific daylight time). Skoolaborate aim to collaborate globally with other schools. He also showed us the potential future ways interaction in education and beyond.
QR code used in UK, Japan, and Telstra. Allows mobile customers to use their camera phones as barcode readers. Check out these websites for information:
Tactile Google Earth. 3D image if combined with touch screen screen it becomes interactive. see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLconRxEyzc
mybusuu.com language garden website where students from overseas can teach local aussie students their language and we teach them English in return.
Teachers still have a role in class, they act as mentors, guiding students at the beginning and assisting where necessary but ultimately students in class are expected to self educate and have initiative to google and search for more materials online while in class.
Lunch break.
PLCMC now Charlotte Mecklenburg library showed us how public library operated in the USA, in their state anyway. 24+ branches, 1.5 million floating collection, partnership with high schools and companies in the area. Lots of community support and donation to the library. Not too far from the library is Imagine On library only for children and no adults. Here kids and teens can explore reading material, computers, gaming zone, make their own stories or music videos, etc. Also two theatres dedicated to showing plays for children. All round full on interaction for the young ones.
Afternoon tea.
Mp3 and mobile computing session. More and more people are owning a mobile phone or a mp3 player, we question how can libraries supply to these audiences and communicate with them. Audio book is one, Overdrive the American company supplies plenty of titles but not many Australian titled books. We question about patrons copying these mp3s (against copyright regulations) and also that we cannot bookmark them as we can easily do with a printed version of the book. We talked of the Daisy format which VisionAustralia is currently using which requires a Dairy reader device. Sms overdue notices especially for teenagers. Cable issues with mp3 players and itune required for ipods, bluetooth enabled computers for mobile phone which can read mp3 files. Should library be considering these technical problems with gadgets when targeting younger patrons who are gadget obsessed? To what extent should a library commit to these formats and gadgets when they phase our in quick successions?
A sea of faces, only recall a few names, I'd like to thank Linda [MPri], Margie[VU], Dence[EGipp] for nice chats we had. The conference was very engaging and I learnt a lot about library doing their best be relevant in the modern society.
Sorry for any spelling mistakes on the blog.

August 2008
We watched forbidden kingdom and pow the fight scene between Jet Li and Jackie Chan was like a dream come true. The story line was cheesy but overall fun and magical. We liked movies so much my sister and I go on to buy a few dvds from JB Hi-Fi sale, they had a special offer of "buy 3 and get the last one free".
Francis, Sis, and I attended Outdoor-Indoor cinema screening LoudQUIETloud which was a documentary of the band PIXIE from USA. Oh gosh, do they have strong lyrics and guitar use in all their songs. I see where Nivarna got their music influence from, PIXIE. hee hee.
Most weekends I hang with my dad around shopping centres and shopping district. Of course, my sister tags along too. There were one or two weekends I spent a whole Saturday playing "God of War" PS2. The story is amazingly detailed and enticing and it gave my family revisions about the Greek gods.
Planning a trip brings joy and pain, oh the information and the forms. Ugh. Next month I will going to a free tour of the ship "Spirit of Tasmania". How cool is that?
July 28, 2008
July was bam shazzam movie month
My sister and i watched: don't mess with the zohan, hancock, get
smart, and the dark knight. Also attend an art forum called 'art aloud
- parallel views', listen to 'flashpoint reading of 3 plays', and
eharmony group activity @ NGV.
Heath Ledger was amazing in his performance as the joker, you actually felt the angst and danger when his character was present and he was very much into his character. Not one second did he sound the Heath we know from the earlier days. My favourite film starring Heath is "10 things i hate about you". It was an introduction to a clever witty handsome actor I have come to know and respect. I was devasted and definitely shocked by his death and angry at Ms. O for not getting emergency help quick enough. Aussie actor are worth gold, more than you will ever be.

May MADDNESS
Work has been hectic and a few items gone AWOL.
Then there is the issue of Broadband modem never arrived to my house yet the ISP said Alexi and Oyakmah had sign off saying modem has been received. WHOEVER the HELL these two people are, they are NOT ME, that's for sure. Why should I pay for a modem I NEVER received and service I CANNOT USE?!
Outside of work and home realm is booking tables at restaurants, for some places FRIDAY and SATURDAY are OFF LIMITS. So unheard of! Anyways, there are many other delightful places to eat.
FYI. BYO modem only!
Self NOTE: I have to EAT oats to settle the stress in my stomach. I haven't had much interest in eating or sleeping this month. Although I did drink heaps of Boost Juice.
Dim lights in rooms puts into Zzz mode. Ugh.
Movies I have seen this month were 'Deception', 'Ironman', and 'Indiana Jones & the crystal skull'.
Zooey Deschanel is a cool actress!

April buzz
April is all about work. I learnt about legal loose leaf service, international interlibrary loan procedures, and what's exactly involved when changing work procedures. The formality was unfolded before my eyes and i have greater respect for managers who undertake such responsibility. We as staff get to be part of that process of change, here at SLV my opinion and ideas matters, that is by the far the coolest thing. The meetings were intense but you get to see where things are going and you do you darn best to comprehend, communicate, and compromise. The procedure is being drafted and to be refined in weeks to come. The procedure is coded as "Internal Loans". The two divisions (mine and another) that usually supervises loans are having discussion with upper management about this procedure but this procedure affects the whole organisation. wow.
From the training session on deal with difficult situations, i will need to learn to evaluate situations and be more resilient.
At home my brother and mother don't believe in using their wardrobe. So you can expect to see their dusty clothes laying about and clogging up space. If you try to lift any of these clothes, they give you a scolding, whatthe! The only things I can control are my desk, wardrobe, and my well being; and ignore the mess.

March to my own beat
Aroma party.There was this book and box of cards talking about chaka and aroma oil abilities. I drew three cards from the box and Mr SR made me concotion consist of rose, spearmint, and patchouli into a massage oil roll on bottle. Rose for the heart, spearmint for disgestive system, and patchouli for alertness/clarity. Smells like toothpaste/nail polish/just spearmint dominant. lol. Overall good stuff.
2008 products i like so far are:_
Clinique Super city block sheer oil free daily face protector spf 30+
Ultraceuticals skin care range (for acne)
Pupa gloss chic ref. 028309 / D329
菊花茶
Crayon Shinchan comics.
Brown Brothers moscato late harvest 2007 [dessert wine]
more ... *drools*
I went to seminar held by Mortgage Choice for first home buyers. Of course, i don't fit the first buyer's category, more or less i'm a spectator, still i wanted to hear how mortgages are handled and applied to property ownership. There is so much more than just application for a mortgage and paying back with interest. Mortgage choice called in special guests, a rep from consumer affairs in property sector and two solicitors from R&G. Very impressive. Knowing key terms helps when dealing with vendors, contracts, banks, and whether a method of sale (private sale/auction) coincide with your ideals.
The key words used were:
letter of offer
deposit bond
stamp duty
contract of sale [!!! be weary of]
contract notes (addition from private sale)
contractual inclusions (more areas to be concerned about)
vendor statement (doco given to you in reagrds to the property)
vendor countersigns the contract (officiation the sale of property)
section 32 of the Sale of Land Act
POA = price on application
solicitor (for reading the various document & process doco)
conveyancer (processing property transaction documents)
property valuation
caveats (3rd party interest in property)
convenants (land restriction)
section 173 agreements (council&developer&owner comply)
easements (3rd party access your property, eg. plumbing pipes)
GST (does it apply & is it well catered esp new property)
settlement
note: auction does not have cooling off period but you are allowed to ask for contract of sale weeks before the actual auction day.
The seminar was useful and informative, and there was good demonstrations of mortgage repayments calculations. Say if you were buying pre-owned property versus buying a new plot of land. I must say my salary is too low for a mortgage repyments. i might need to reconsider my career and lifestyle.
Easter long weekend was good. Friday was hot as ever i did get the chance to sleep in and watch my siblings' latest anime volume: mushi, eureka7, and school rumble. Wonderful tales. Funny and some shocking moments.
The ferris wheel ride after work with Mr. SR, Mr. CM, Ms. FMS, and my sister was fun. An unexpected surprise! Something about being suspending in the air brings excitement to us humans. I want to thank Mr. CM for organising the fun outing. For dinner we had buffet at Sante, Crown casino. We tottally stuffed ourselves. hee hee.

Funny February 2008
Saturday 16th
After getting off the flight, my ears were muffled but i try not yell at people asking for direction or buying airport link ticket. The ears cleared up after i had sneezed. I headed straight to the hostel and the place i stayed at was neat, efficient, and friendly. I rented a locker to store my lugguage as check in was not until later in noon.
I decided to go for a walk. I strolled down George street into Myer and DJones for handbag drool session, i somehow ended up in DJ shoe dept looking at a small fashion show (which was not busy), then headed over to men's dept to say "hi?" to my friend Mr.A. Oh gosh, he was ultra busy. I decided to go in search bus 325 bus stop around William street (never been there) only to find it was on Elizabeth street. ah ha. I hurried back to the hostel to check in and called Mr.MHC to hang out in the city.
Sunday 17th
My Watson Bay adventure. Now that i know where the bus stop was and i have my ticket, i take my chances and see where it ends. The bus terminated at precisely at the right spot I was seeking, yay. It only took 30mins which is normal. It did not take long as some tourist mentioned online. Geez, i'm bloodly early. Yet, wow, the views here is great it reminds me of Torquay. I took some windy shots of the bay, view of Sydney tower and harbour bridge.
While i sat on a bench waiting for my friend, Ms.RL and her friends, a family approached me to see if i was planning to use the picnic table, i nicely informed them i'm not, then they ask me if is it okay that i mind the table for a while and i agreed. hee hee.
Lunch @ Waston Bay Hotel was good and Ms.RL's friends' babies were the entertainment and main topic. The babies would delight us with their curiousity and such calmness in their behaviour amongst this noisy open area. I was amazed and so were the parents. One baby pushed over his mother's 1st and 2nd glass of lemonade twice but oddly the baby didn't push any other bottle or glass. A toddler was even funnier he would push his car toys over the table and get female waiters to pick it up for him yet he didn't do that when male waiters came by. lol. We took lots of kodak moments shots.
Ms.RL and I walk and climbed up over the gap bluff. Took some happy snaps. When you look closely at the rocks, looks as if they got carved but colouring of the rocks seem more like water corrosion. Nice of my friend to drive me to my cousin's place.
My cousin's baby is so cute and smart. He is good at shredding tissue and making it seem fun. Oh he points to things before reaching for them. We had dinner with aunty and uncle @ D&D. Steak was way too meaty for me. Quality time well spent. The baby sure got all of our attention. He tends to have an itchy feet. A drink kicker.
Overall the trip was short but sweet!
notes: ppl I've meet along the way. Ben/Sarah, Adam/Belinda, Michael, Nick/Helen, Robyn. Teja-Marissa-Holley-Timmy-Fiona quit Civica.

January 2008
Our summer is experiencing a uppy and down kind of weather, too bad the 20 degrees weather is non-existence since climate change occurred. now the range are 30~41 degrees, then there's sharp 10 degrees and heavy rain, enough to crack a tile. ouch.
I'm working in a real library now which is wonderful and a sea change from call centres and helpdesk. Now i will start working my career path in this direction yet keeping IT as a hobby, just to be up to date with all the modern fuss. lol.
It seems the feeling of a having a crush on someone, like when you were in high school, is is more intense when you get older. Amazing feeling. Something that hasn't been triggered within me for a while. hee hee.
There is this Hong Kong singer 張敬軒 who I'm keen and have a celeb-crush on. I have seen him before in the film "moments of love" and thought 'aww what a cutie', now i think of him as a 'hottie who is also intelligent'. *drools* I cannot stop listening to his songs, especially 'adrently love' 酷愛 song. Here are some pics of him.
Also I have been self studying Web 2.0. Overall, mashed up applications are cool but whether you want to be member for everything that is out there online is a bit of an ask to spread yourself too thinly and also not to forget high maintenance. Here is a link to the other blog where i gave my two cents about each session. http://melslv.blogspot.com/
Rabbits are so cute when they press themselves against the window and do a belly rub dance. So cute. They look adorable when they stand up as well.

It seems the feeling of a having a crush on someone, like when you were in high school, is is more intense when you get older. Amazing feeling. Something that hasn't been triggered within me for a while. hee hee.
There is this Hong Kong singer 張敬軒 who I'm keen and have a celeb-crush on. I have seen him before in the film "moments of love" and thought 'aww what a cutie', now i think of him as a 'hottie who is also intelligent'. *drools* I cannot stop listening to his songs, especially 'adrently love' 酷愛 song. Here are some pics of him.
Also I have been self studying Web 2.0. Overall, mashed up applications are cool but whether you want to be member for everything that is out there online is a bit of an ask to spread yourself too thinly and also not to forget high maintenance. Here is a link to the other blog where i gave my two cents about each session. http://melslv.blogspot.com/
