I follow up my productive week with a not so productive week. It's only Wednesday, so perhaps it's a little early to say that, but I've been spending a lot of time in my room. Just wasting time. I have gotten through quite a few episodes of Korean dramas and anime, so that's good. Haha.
monday
Monday was a sad day. Well, at least the first half of it was sad. Why? Because Aquent called. And I didn't get the job. It's at times like these that I feel like God plays with me. Why dangle a position in front of me and then take it away?! I know He's not playing with me.. but still. I want a job gosh darn it! So I went online and applied for more jobs. There are less and less jobs that I can apply for now, since I've applied to pretty much everything available. There are only so many new jobs that can get posted up every day. Quite depressing TT_TT But for dinner the whole household plus Pastor Yang and his wife went out to dinner to say goodbye to Jeffrey's mum. We went to a seafood + Korean BBQ buffet. Pretty nice. So that lifted my spirits a bit. You know how I love food :P
tuesday
Went in the morning with the pastor to take Jeffrey's mum to the airport. She was nice and gave me some money *^^* I was sad to see her go. I'm going to miss that lady. Now I'm back to being by myself. It was so nice to finally have someone to go out with.. and now she's gone. The only other significant thing I did that day was watch the Korean movie Soo. That was tragic. My poor Ji Jin Hee. But alas, not a recommendable movie.
today
Today I went out into the city! The pastor's wife is now working. Yes, the lady who does not care about working has gotten a job, while I remain unemployed TT_TT Haha. She's helping her friend out for the next two months because her store is really busy. She's in charge of inventory or something like that. Not a job I would care for. But it means she will be heading out into the city--well, to Ponsonby, a neighbourhood near the city--for the next two months. So I headed out this morning with her.
The LINK bus goes through Karangahape Road and Ponsonby Road, so I've seen the main streets before. Told myself I would have to come back someday and see the stores, so I decided that today would be the day. The pastor's wife was actually just working until 1pm today (she starts working full-time tomorrow), so I had a little more than 3.5 hours (we arrived around 9:15am). So I walked all along Ponsonby Road until I hit Karangahape Road (aka K'Road), walked all along that until I hit Queen Street, and then headed back.. on the opposite side of the road of course. The two streets weren't as great as I had hoped they would be. Although, I think K'Road is supposed to be more lively at night, since most of the businesses there were nightclubs and bars. Anyway, I got back to where I started a little past 11am.
To make things easier, if you've noticed, I try to make the first picture I post in the blogging the first picture I've added, so you don't have to go through the entire album to get there.
I decided to kill time by going to Starbucks, but that only killed around half an hour. So I decided to go into the city, which is something I should have done before. I took the LINK bus, the long way around, so I didn't arrive at the Westfield until 12:30pm. For time's sake, I should have taken the other route, but I'm glad I went the way that I did. Riding the bus and looking around helped me put into perspective the routes that I walked and saw on the map, and now I'm truly getting a map of the city centre and the nearby neighbourhoods in my head. Quite helpful. So I ended up just staying on the bus and going back to Ponsonby. Turns out that a complete circle takes an hour. I then headed over to Gifts 2 U, which is the store that the pastor's wife is helping out at, and actually bought some stuff there. I bought stickers for the scrapbook that I am planning on making. Now I just need to actually get some photos printed out..
I spent most of the time in my room today doing stuff on deviantART. Uploaded a few pictures, created a new ID. Check them out~ ^^ But what has the most impact on you guys is that I changed the album name for my pictures. So the URL is now http://picasaweb.google.com/kimcheese/NewZealandNovember
I didn't think ahead when I first created the album. It seems like I will be needing an album for each month that I will be here. So if you ever just go straight to my pictures, there is now a NOVEMBER at the end of the address. Let me just say, it was quite a pain to go back to all my past bloggings and change all the URLs for the pictures. Not fun.
