Laziness

After few weeks of hard work in job searching, I was really tired with street walking. To be honest, it is hard to get a job while global economic still under recession. I think Australia is one of the affected countries in this economic downturn. For those Asians who are living with working permit/holiday visa permit, I believe most of them are holding a professional certificate. However, they work as a waiting staff, chef, sandwich maker and those non-executive jobs. Through out the difficult period, I never give up in my job searching. I searched jobs online, and walked in to submit my resume. And, I feel it was a great experience to me where it never happened in my life.

These two days, I was a bit lazy in my routine activity. After tendered my resume in the morning session, then I spent my time sitting in Dockland. It is a beautiful port where located in the central of Melbourne. I met a Chinese guy from China. He was enjoying his fishing activity. Initially, I was just enjoyed the port view. However, the regularly of him to getting fish made me feel curious. I walked near and started to chat with him. He told me fishing is one of his relax hobby and he used to fish often. However, it is needed a fishing license (Just 23 Aussie p/year. Should I take a license, so I can spend my time in fishing while jobless?). Lastly, we make as friend. As what I have shown in my previous blog, life is simple, and we can always trigger our happiness anytime, anywhere.

** Fishing rule
There are some fishing rules in Australia. First, fisher must get a license. The size of a fish must not greater than the size as written in the fishing policy. If same species of a fish exceed with certain amount as listed in the fishing policy, then, fisher must releases back its freedom. The government enforces this policy to protect the population of the fish species by avoid extinct in future.

My First Night at St Kilda Beach

It was a tired day for my past 2 days. I woke up at nine and checked out at 10am. We temporary left our luggage in the hostel and walked to the Queen Victoria Market. It is a huge market within the city, where mainly attracts tourists and residents surrounded. The stalls are ordered by section based on the food type, and it is clean in the pedestrian way. If you want me to compare it with Malaysia’s market, they are much more organized and structured. After a short visit to the market, we took a free city tram surrounded the city. We stopped at Dockland, city port of Melbourne. I strolled along the jetty and enjoyed the view of the port. Beside the Jetty, some luxury apartments are constructed along the Port. It is so beautiful. After that, we took the free city tram back to my hostel, then moved into my new “house” at St Kilda Beach Hostel.

St Kilda Beach Hostel is one of the international hostels near the beach (5-10 minutes walk). To be honest, the outlook of this hostel is good, but the room’s quality is not as good as Victoria Hall Hostel. However, it is not bad in overall. The room price is much cheaper than other hostels where it costs me RM18 per day (dorm with 8 beds) if occupied for the whole week (winter sale). We shared the room with two persons from New South Wale Australia and Sepia. They are coupled. They treated us and nice and friendly. This is my first night at St Kilda.

The next day, we spent some times in Sunday Esplanade Market. This market is located at the Esplanade Road, besides sea bay. Most of the stuff are unique and local made. And, stall owners were always not allowing the tourist take photo on their local made products.

** What I hear in my shared dorm. Europeans are too open minded until they can make love in public. Unfortunetely, it was dark. Hehe!
