My Casual Works and MCG!

I have not been updating my blogs for quite awhile. I was pretty busy with my lab works... It is almost the end of the year and I need to finish my first part of the Honours project. Besides I finally find a job. Yes! Me with a job! Last year I thought I waste my money to apply for a work permit, but now it is off good use!

Finally, without any interview or resume sending routine, I got 2 jobs, from the same research centre! It is Australian Sustainable Industry Research Centre (ASIRC), you guys might heard of it because previously I was doing my Third Year project in this place! So they are pretty much know me! Okay okay, first job is as Colour Monitorist. So from the name you will know that it is about monitoring the colour. What I do is I monitor the colour in the paper run in Australian Paper. I can't talk much about this because everything I do is private, I might get sued if I elaborate more, so talk about the wages! It is 20 bucks per hour and the job is a shift job. My night shift is about 50 bucks per hour!!!!! But I need to work from 12am to 8am....

Don't think that I am rich from these kind of work. The stupid Australian government tax me about 20% of my pay. So means I was left very little after the taxing..... But I have planned what I wanna buy from that money.

The second job is something related to my studies!!!! Bioremediation of oily sludges too!!!! Now in the beginning, I get paid just to write literature review! 20 bucks per hour for me to write up a lit. review, which I count it as a normal assignment! So isn't it good? Instead of writing an assignments, it becomes a work and I get paid! After that I will need to work maybe 2-3 days per week, = more money to the government through tax. Anyway I am happy that I got this job, cause my future resume will look very nice!

I have planned to spend all those money on electronic gadgets like ipod and cool sound systems! And of course I need to save some money for my Aussie PR application.

Yesterday, I was invited by Rona to attend this Melbourne University End of the Year Party! I went back to city just for that, pretty awesome to be able to dine in MCG! This blog is mostly about the tour in MCG, if you wanna know more, go to Moomoolanders to have look! Okay, this is a rare opportunity, for me to stand on the ground of MCG, where people in white and zink lotion play their balls with sticks in summer, and guys with short sleeve and shorts kicking and catching oval balls in winter (Cricket and Aussie Football).

I just write heaps of stuffs over that Moomoolander's blog, so I am pretty knacked.

Do I look like the coach or team captain being interviewed by the media? Oops, there is no microphones.

Pretty Rona, on the poor man seats. I reckon their are the cheap seats, since they are so damn high and hard to view the game from up there.

Me on the poor man seats as well. Oh well, we are poor, so need to seat on those seats.

The dinner was pretty nice. And heaps more picture on foods in the Moomoolander's blog. Oh after taking picture with this famous tour guide of ours, we walked into a row of waitress and waiter, holding all sorts of drinks! Beers, champagne, red wine, white wine, and others!


Well this is the working life in Australia! At the end of year, you will have all sorts of party and business events! Next week I will have another end of the year party, this time with ASIRC! I was just hired last month and now I am invited to attend their party! So it is good to start work at the end of the year, then you pretty much spends most of the time attending parties! But of course, I am still doing my Honours, so can't really enjoy this month as others.......
