I was hoping I could catch my roommate on Satuday night so I can party. When I got home, no one was there, so I walked to the main strip which is a 10-15 minute walk and see if I might catch her or even go in somewhere myself. Well, I couldn't do it. So I walked all the way back home again. Did I mention that, everytime I go to the ferry or main strip, I have to walk the same damn distance? Anyhow, I went back home again, and she caught me. She was actually drinking in another room with other people so I joined them. We played drinking games (no chai mui) which was kinda fun. There was this skinny weird dutch guy who mooned my roommate! I also could see his arse briefly and it was pretty nasty.

At around one, we decided to go ...CLUBBING! Yes, finally.

They have decided to go into this bar with a live band which I thought would be lame. Little did I know, there were actually 2 rooms downstairs and 2 more upstairs. Some fiascos were happening and the guys with shorts weren't allowed to be upstairs. I ended up staying with this Iraq US guy, who was super pissed because everyone stayed up there. He was going to leave but I made him stay and we ended up having a great time. He bought me drinks too...and hey, the Greek guy in the afternoon too. I guess I was allowing abundance flow through me, hehe. He's a pretty good and funny dancer, good times. Another night before he was telling me and only me about the real things happening in Iraq. It's pretty sad how the world is sometimes.

At the end of the night, I went to get a kebab. I had a pretty bad racial remark made to me by the counter guy. I don't even think he's an Australian. Some friendly guy was buying food beside me, and he was joking to the counter guy about woman smoking cigar. Then the counter guy said "except for that," indicating me. So I stared at him and said, "that's not nice," as the other guy was agreeing with me. He said while looking at me, "yes, it's not." I'm still not sure if he was embarrassed and realized that it was bad, or if he was confirming his racist believes. I had a chat with the nice guy, and he was cool as he was very understanding. I was so sad and hating this place, especially when I was also under the influence of alcohol. I thought of trying to get my hostel fee back and really wanted to take off to Bali. Screw trying to make a life out of this ignorant coutry! The same day I was made fun of by some kids, saying "haro, haro..." Alright alright, I have to process my world properly and not be influenced by some random incidents. I can't control what others do and I have to realize that those things happen for a reason. It's an eye opener for me for sure.

The next day I went tanning on the beach. Some French guy picked me up, and asked me to have a chocolate in the evening. I agreed because I don't really know anyone and he mentioned that he would have rooms for rent when the renters leave. He was also leaving in a week too.

I have 2 new roommates, and they are originally from Brazil. I have to mention that Latin people are fun. One of the guys asked me to go to the Brazillian bar that evening. I was hoping to go after I meet up with Frenchie.

Ok, Frenchie and I had chocolate, and then I checked out his place for the sake of the room. I also did some Matrix on him but I got uncomfortable because he was telling me about his "feelings" or testosterone. I reclined from his verbal advances, and at some point called Brazil guy so I didn't have to stay there too long. He apologized though, and I'm still considering the room because it's a good deal. Besides, I wouldn't have to see him for 2 months because he's supposed to go somewhere for work. I don't know if I should stay on Manly though, an isolated peninsula from the city.

I was too late for the Brazillian party, but I chatted with one of them back at the hostel after. He showed me his Thailand pics, and also the special Brazillian green tea. He kept saying that it would change my life. It's made in a metal (ceramic too?) cup and straw, and it's really strong! It was good though, and I'm hoping to have some more when he gets home tonight. Yum yum.

Today, I applied for a job online, and the guy got back to me right away. He asked me to go there the same day and it took me almost 2 fukin hours to get there! It's some warehouse like furniture store in some suburbs. I ended up working there for an hour getting to know their sofas and fabrics. It's only part time for now with weekends, but o well...whatever I can get right? He pays under the table so I think it works out better without the tax. Also, I feel this guy is good and the job is chilled. Ok, so I can say I'm somewhat employed now?

Ok a funny thing happened. I thought I found Jeremy on facebook (djdizzydee), and thought he has moved to Australia. We were exchanging breif messages, and it ended up to be another guy with a similar dj name. He just called me and I suddenly figured out the misunderstanding. I was really LOL at this internet cafe.

OK hoping for some mate tea tonite...
