28th january 2008Day nine.
it's a public holiday today. happy australian day.the shops are closed except for those in the city, the roads are packed with cars buzzing to places and the police are on the alert to fine anyone on the double for bad conduct. yes, on public holidays, fines go up by the double for the simplest of things that you commit wrong.
so yes. it's been almost a week and two days. sunday marked a new week here in perth and it had it's only way of making sure we took note of it. the alarm didnt rang because neither of us set for it. it was a sunday and yet the day before we all forgot about church. Father forgive us for we have sinned. anyway, we still managed to get there on time, with a few extra minutes to spare for a trip to the playground and a slow walk under the hot sun to church. mum was adamant on getting to church even if we had to rush. i feel guilty. i played the devil's advocate in trying to pre- warn my mum of the possibility of missing the bus, getting there late and all tired out or even missing mass altogether. it didnt played along with her. her faith's too strong.
so she got us dragging our soles out of the soles only to break into a short run to the bus stop where we STILL had to wait for the bus to arrive. breakfast? well, breakfast was only a few pieces of sultanabread that she had heat up in the morning. pathetic? i was looking forward to a few slices of bacon and eggs, french toast and a cup of milk poured out for us.
jobs are hard to find if you dont know where to search for. i had this problem. i cant find any that is well suited for hands that have not encounted the working world before. work at a travel agency, i could do that if not for the long bus ride there. work as a kitchen hand at chicken treat, but mum advised against it. the job wasn't meant for nimble hands like mine. i cant find any and i need one badly before i start the school term.
8 reasons why amanda should find a job:- the PAY is the most important issue
- working experience would go a long way in university
- widen social circle( even if it means nasty ones)
- get my FAT ass off the bed
- turn my current timetable upside down (wakeup, bfast, gaming, lunch, gaming, dinner, msn, blogging, sleep)
- get some exercise in walking to my work area
- take away food home from work ( if restaurant)
- i dont have to face annoying people at home
hell yes. she needs a job soonest.
