Day 140:
One week of #CPMelbLyfePt2 already. Pretty quick, but nothing really happened in that one week. The past week has been vastly different from the two weeks in Singapore. Can't quite say if I'm really enjoying Melbourne or not. I had so much to do in Singapore and was trying to find more time there, but here, I have all the time but zero motivation to do anything. Contrast.
Winter sounds cool and I know everyone prefers to be in a cold country. But now that I'm dealing with the cold day in day out again and having to cycle in the stupid wet windy weather, most times I just can't be bothered to train or to just go out. Going out is expensive anyway. Don't remind me about how troublesome is it to dry your washed clothes...
Did a bit of training on Saturday but just felt like how I felt when I was in Melbourne the last time round. I 100% can confirm I train better in Singapore. Blaming on the weather sounds like a good old excuse, but it definitely affects my jumps. Which sucks. I can't wait for summer.
Work has been slow recently because I'm still in the process of earning back my shifts... and so I have to settle for shifts in South Yarra which will soon be the death of me if I were to keep this up. Then again, it's still money... which is what I need.
I was greeted with a letter on the first day of arriving back here, regarding the tram incident back in my first few weeks of living in Melbourne. It's undoubtedly the worst thing that happened to me in this 140 days so far. Worst memory... each time I cycle past that tram stop I'm like 'fuck this place'. Have not been taking a tram for ages but each time I step inside one, I just hate it.
Yeah so it seems like the case thing got blowed out of proportion and I have to go to court. Probably will end up having to pay close to 400/500AUD... hopefully. May be even more, or could be less... I'm not sure. What a burden... and it's only going to be heard mid October. Can't even get this over and done with... hope nothing bad happens to me.
Yesterday I punctured my tyre unknowingly and had to fix it today for like $35... thanks to the mark up of Australia's labour work. #MelbourneProblems
My life is filled with all this stupid unnecessary expenditure... which kinda nullifies the reason why I work... all the earnings just to cover silly mistakes that 'happens' to me. Remember last year with all the missed flights, buying a new flight, fixing camera, gambling losses... #storyofmylife
I hate how money puts me down so much. It affects my entire mood. It affects how I'm feeling about my life at the moment. It's crazy how $$$ controls the world.
School starts in 2 1/2 weeks and it'll be a 3 day school week again. I probably will still have some time to work in the first few weeks before it gets hectic towards end Aug/early Sep, but I'm not sure if exceeding the 20/hr visa restriction is a good idea. Too much playing with fire already.
Also should take this time to edit my videos and get good with Premiere Pro before handling project footage after my shoots. And learn more about the Red Camera.
Today is also the first time since being back that I took a full day's break from the greens.
I want to be more productive.
Each day is passing too quickly and nothing much happens in between...
That probably sums up my life here in Melbourne.
