My boss asked me to stay here in Sydney for three month??? He must be out of his mind. There is no way for me to stay for three months, perhaps three weeks is the most I can stay since I still need to go back and move house sometime around the middle of July. Still, what am I suppose to do here for three weeks???
I think I will try to get back early. I seriously don’t see any reason for me to stay here for that long.
Company is complaining the cost in Australis is too high, and now I can understand why.
I arrived at the customs and got busted with two cartons of ciggies valued at NTD470 each. They confiscated the ciggies, and to get them back, no problem, AUD105.00.
I took taxi from airport to hotel, AUD115.00.
The hotel is OK but it is certainly not the best, but it is certainly the most expensive so far. By the way, they do not even offer tooth brush, and it is costing me each night, probably excluding GST, AUD198.00.
This place has no free internet (even Vietnam and Philippines do), and per hour is AUD9.90. One day unlimited is AUD19.90.
This place offers no complementary breakfast, and breakfast costs a mere, well, per person is, AUD14.00.
Australia is a land of money fiends.
Then again, like always, here is a picture of my hotel room.
Man, I love business class. Actually, no, I didn’t take business class, I just have priority baggage. It does look pretty good hanging there though.
Me. Good night.
There is Mister Donuts, now there is Mr Baoz.
Apparently there is this new franchise that specializes in meat buns 包å. Except it is not like the tradition ones where they all look and taste pretty much the same, white with meat inside. The ones Mr Baoz are offering have more flavors, beef, chicken, curry, seafood, sweet and sour pork, and so on. They also offer soup and deserts, like chocolate buns, or cream buns.
Just look at the store, wow, its just like a Mister Donuts, or McDonalds, but can you believe they sell meat buns???
A display of the buns they offer. Wahh, look at them, so colorful, they look too nice to be meat buns!
I ordered three myself. A beef, chicken, and chocolate bun. I was going to take a shot of the filling but I was too hungry and ate them first. They did taste pretty good though, definitely different to the traditional ones. The chocolate bun wasn’t too special though. It was more like a chocolate flavored bread.
This is my last dinner before I go to Australia. See you in ten days Mr Baoz!
Next week is going to be strange. I will fly back to Australia, well, not for holidays, but for work related trip. I will stay in Sydney, but I need to make my own way to Melbourne.
Company is stingy. They won’t let me have a direct flight back to Taipei from Melbourne, because I purposely delayed the trip for personal benefit. Gay.
Anyway, like always, I am under tremendous pressure again. I don’t like business trips. They send you and make sure you cannot come back unless you get the tasks done.
If this statement stands, then dammit!! Maybe I cannot come back.
Some funny looking ear picks at work.
This one is in the form of a lady.
This one is a bear but the ear pick is poking through the head, and the bear looks to be very annoyed.
Group shot, even though I do not see the purpose of doing this.
My God, I must be real bored.
I got a haircut today. I look, well, different. Actually, every time after I had a haircut, people just say I look very different. They always say that I look very “not me”. Nevertheless, this haircut I like a lot, so I am not complaining.
However, one problem though, because of this haircut, now I look too young. I don’t mind looking young, except for one person, hahaha.
I went to watch Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, and regrettably to say, as predicted, it was shit.
The movie was long, it was boring, it wasn’t exciting and it was predictable. The movie wasn’t fun like the first one and it just dragged on for a bit too long, more than three hours to be exact. I actually had a sore bottom after watching it because it was just too long. I had the same feel watching Spider Man 3.
Well, the movie that I really really want to watch, Ocean’s Thirteen, will be out soon, and hopefully it won’t disappoint again.
A new RPG game for PSP, Jeanne d’Arc.
I do not think this PSP game has anything to do with the Jeanne d’Arc from history books (heroine of France), but the ad for this game is a must watch. Absolutely hilarious.
Thanks, Google Video.
Well, not mine really, but it is a production unit for testing. Hopefully it can become mine for good, because after using it, I can never, ever, go back to the old crappy 15″ Dell I had been using for the last two and a half year.
Anyway, it is a new LCD monitor I get to use at work. It is one of recently released monitors, the BenQ FP93GW Senseye+photo. It is a 16:10 wide screen, slim bezel design, ultra-fast 5ms response time, contrast ratio of 700:1 and our exclusive Senseye+photo technology for consistent color reproduction.
What I like about best is the slim bezel design, only a mere 12mm, and it looks absolutely gorgeous when you have a full screen wallpaper filling up the 1440 x 900 display. Too bad I cannot try any DVDs or at work.
I like the logo too. Sweet.
