Wish me luck for tomorrow

Our friend took her sister, brother-in-law, nieces and her friends to our house to visit. A bunch of kids were playing with our rabbit on the lawn, then I brought out the Monopoly game for them to play. I was in charge of the bank in the beginning and not long after I gave the job to a girl who was too absorbed with the rabbit. Our friend's brother-in-law works in China and his company makes air conditioning units and cleaning room.
The weather was beautiful today. I took a walk before lunch. The second hand clothes shop looked deserted. I wonder what will happen there. I also did 100 crunches today.
Tomorrow I have an interview with the agriculture research company. I have been preparing for this interview since Monday. Keep my fingers crossed for this job. I know what I am going to say, just hope my potential employers like me.

Two books in a week

I have been reading Lee Child's Killing Floor and Agatha Christie's Cat among pigeons. Killing Floor is about murder and counterfeiting money. It is fast paced. It is brutal. It is also tender and loving in some ways. Reading this story is like peeling an onion. The people who wants to get out of the counterfeiting scheme are killed, and the people who wants to expose the scheme are also killed. You can also sense that the main character's loneliness.
Agatha's Cat among the pigeons follows her formula of detective story. Murder takes place in an innocent girl's school. Police and the F.O. investigate with no conclusion, Poirot comes in and sits down to solve the problem. The good part is in the beginning with the middle eastern flavour. The teenage girl's life is also portrayed vividly.
I have applied for two more jobs. Just have to wait patiently for the results now. I have also received the tickets for graduation yesterday. I am content and happy about the upcoming graduation. I have worked very hard on the thesis. This graduation ceremony will be a good finishing note.

Through the looking glass and the beautiful dresses

We have been taking the weeds out of our front yard in the afternoon. The tulips are still blooming, and they are an interesting colour. The petals look like raspberry ice cream, with white background and pink stripes. We collect some weeds to feed our new rabbit, Ginger. It is happy to eat grass, carrot peels, kiwifruit peels, and dandilions. She does not like other food.
I went to the bank when mum is doing her weekly shopping. Walking from the supermarket to the bank proves to be a very good exercise on my legs. I keep my eyes on the new upmarket boutiques on Victoria Street, and there seems to be many shoppers in the shops even though today is a working day.
Another rejection letter does not get me down so easily. I believe in myself and that is the most important thing. I will not let the bastards get me down. I will keep typing curriculum vitaes and coverletters. I will keep sending them out. I am a hard worker. I am a good worker. I am willing to work. I am motivated. I am organised. I can be the best investment you make.

Kite making and Fly a kite

It is a windy day. We get free newspapers from the major newspaper distributor and they don't seem to be staying in the letterbox at all. As we chase the flying newspaper in our yard, mum and I come across a transparent plastic bag. It is attached to a line. I let my imagination run wild, this contraption is probably a kite. However, the plastic bag is broken and not very pretty, so I swap it for a red Warehouse plastic bag. I have also extended the line so the kite can fly a bit higher.
How often does an adult have time to fly a kite? I guess everybody is too busy working or doing housework. I fly a kite without a care in the world. I haven't felt so happy for a long time.

Wake Up Call

I was still dreaming when the telephone rang this morning, and I blame myself not getting the call. What if it was from a company that want to set up an interview? How can I sleep through that? I keep beating myself up for it, but what's done is done. I can only pray that the person who wants to call me will call later.
The weather is exceptionally fine today. I am so happy! I made red bean soup and prepared the ingredients for chicken breast spaghetii.
Ghost Club is a moive that I watched last Thursday. 市井滋 was the ghost who made her husband promise her that he would not remarry after she died. 山口智子 was the woman who married the pub owner after 市井滋 died. The movie was filled with funny moments and the pub owner's goodwill went a long way. A daughter was reunited with her father, and a gambler was reunited with his family with the ghost's help. The set was simple and clear cut, and you can see the cluttered graveyard in the urban area. The small pub was cozy and warm, a sanctuary where you could spend some time after work.
The new season of NCIS and ER started in New Zealand. Both are griping drama. I enjoyed them.
Still looking very hard for a job. I will try to get up even earlier so if there is any telephone call, I will get it.
