Memorial Service

One of my class mates, Daphne, passed away from uterine cancer.
She was only 28 years old.

We studied Certificate III Commercial Cookery for a year together.

Since we had the same goal, getting Permanent Residence visas, we are pretty tight-knit

We helped each other. I was very busy studying at the time.

She was a really energetic, cheerful and kind person.

When she got the cancer, she went back to her home, and stayed at a hospis.

We received the sad news of her death a few days later.

So we decided to hold a memorial service instead of attending the funeral in her country.

The memorial service was held in the TAFE campus lake side.

Some lecturers, staff and all of her class mates attended.

Paul on the left, from the purchasing departemt conducted the service.

During the service, we sang some songs for her.

After the ceremony, we cast the floral tribute onto the lake.

Summer is over

Diploma in Hospitality

The new cause Diploma in Hospitality's been started.

I completed Cert III Commercial Cookery which is one year cause then 

Cert IV in Hospitality which is 6 month cause.

This course is my last semester.　After completing this cause, I'll apply the permanent

The time table is not too bad.

I'm pretty happy with the course.

Koji's Birthday Trip

Celebrating our dear Koji's 27th birthday, we came up with the idea, a trip to Margaret River on Labour day March 3.

Relaxing on a chair, Koji, also known as Onanie King, tonight's guest at age of 27

Being noisy at midnight at the campsite, we were

 kicked out there by the caretaker, we needed to move to the other place.....

We were at a loss where to go......

           

                                                                        

We decided to stay in a park, we are now homeless...

My Car

I bought my car about a year ago and was in good condition.

The previous owner was a wife of a mechanic so it had been well maintenaned. I've been to Esperance, which is about 800km from Perth, and Exmouth without any trouble. Even though it's 22 years old, it has been reliable, with few problems.

I decided to cerebrate 1 year ownership by having full service at a garage. It cost me approximately $150. The mechanic suggested I replace the universal joints and rear brake linings. They charged me about $450 for the additional work, $600 in total. I was pretty happy to pay.

However,a week after, I heard a noise from the back of the car. I though it was from the wheel-bearing. I was right, it was, and it cost me an additional $180.... Then a week later, I heard another noise from back.... it was also a wheel-bearing, on the other side. The garage charged me another $180 for that. The following day, the coolant started leaking from the radiator. I paid $400 to replace that..... I hope no more trouble from my car.....
