The city council sent two people to plant Black Birch in our street yesterday. We will take good care of it.
Wednesday is nearly always a good day. I caught Lost in the evening. I have not been watching it for a while so it is a little bit difficult to comprehend why some of the characters do what they do, then again, I deduce even if you are watching every episode diligently, you may still not know what is happening: it is a big mystery! That's what get the audiences hooked!
The housework is becoming easier now. I always wash the dishes from the previous evening in the morning, and that's taking shorter and shorter time. The weather is not so bright yesterday, but I stayed indoor most of the day.
Watch a Chinese Ching dynasty drama with dad. I am also reading the novels that I borrowed from the library at the same time. I would like to complete before Friday, and if I can't, I will have to renew them online today.
Sent my CV to the milk company to apply for a project engineer job. This job sounds infinitisimally better: location close to home, something that I have learned. Just hope they will consider me!

The soccer world cup is officially over now. The last game was great. Both sides gave their best shot, and it was a shame that Z.Z. had to go off. Dad and I were watching Ghengkis Khan before the soccer started yesterday afternoon. I washed and hung the clothes before that.
The Aviator was a good movie with a very determined central character, who is fighting against inner and outer demons. He did have many girlfriends, but no real life companion. He had vision in developing new airplanes and flying them. We can still see The Hercules in the sky right now, thanks to Howard Hughs.
Fuzzy fractionated the mince into two parts for dinner. I added soy sauce and some spices for one part, and cut the onions for the other part. Cooked cabbage as vegetable.
Today the weather was really fine in the morning, with sun shining, but now it is heavily overcast. Just hope we can get more sunshine!
Swept a little leaves on the driveway and sent my CV to a milk factory. Hope they will like me enough to give me an interview.

Casual interview in a coffee shop
I believe that we should have checked out where the interview venue is on net before we leave for Auckland yesterday, because there are new roads built in the last 10 years after our map came out. They are very confusing! We drove around twice and took a leap of faith on the new road and finally get to the street where we want to go. Whew....and we were 1 hour early! YA!
The boss asked some questions and he hinted about some companies in the Innovation Park here in Ruakura, but I don't really know them! But I know that the companies that are in the Innovation Park changes anyway, so I will get to know them later. I guess I will have to know more companies in Ham and Auckland and other cities if I ever go work for this company.
He also asked me whether I have used HPLC and Mass Spec before. Oh, no! I haven't. I had the chance to use HPLC in my previous work experience, but my samples didn't require it. Apart from these two things, I guess I answered the questions pretty well.
There are four other 'contestants' in this job interview. I just hope that I seen to know what I am doing. Praying now. Just hope they like me, even if they don't, I hope I will get another chance.
We drove out to the Beachlands area in Auckland and saw a very beautiful Maraetai beach in the afternoon. Didn't get a chance to get out there, but come to think of it again, the gale force wind was probably not as enjoyable as the temperature in the car.
Get home and cooked a simple dinner. Fuzzy and I watched HP1 for the nth time. It was a good evening.

Domestic training: getting better
The weather is still unpredictable, but I took the clothes out in the sun for a short while. Today's main objective is to drink the rest of the milk...I am getting quite domestic now, am I? My left shoulder is a bit sore and after walking around it is okay now.
I took the overnight DVDs back to the video shop and filled up the petrol. You never know when the petrol price will go up again! Just hope it will be stable. Fuzzy got up and we watched the not so scary The Jacket. I feel quite sympathetic to Jack Starks. Poor guy.
Fuzzy cooked macoroni and cheese and instant noodle for dad. Should have just given up cooking macoroni because it was too old. I ate another rice ball.
Dad cut the cherry and some other trees in the garden. I got the location of the meeting/casual interview tomorrow. Dad doesn't feel very enthusiastic about the job, but I am going to give it the benefit of the doubt. Just hope it is safe and not a scam. I have not done much preparation, but am going to get clothes out of the closet.
I planned the soup (spinach, tempura, thin beef cuts) and dad boiled everything on the gas stove. He made cabbage there, too. I cut the last part of the raddish cake and Fuzzy fried them. Very delicious dinner. We had Weight Watcher chocolate mousse.
Thank God It Is Friday! So we sat on the couch to watch television. "Medium" has a very nice season finale.
Ate a grapefruit (not ripe enough yet), a mango and grapes. Thank you, Mrs. T, for giving us the grapes. I will probably go shopping tomorrow after I get back to Ham.

Breakdown and bounceback
Dad went to D's place to fix Mr. Lee's windscreen. The car didn't pass WOF. I felt really bad and couldn't cook dinner properly...the emotion took over and I went to my room and laid on the bed for half an hour, then thought better of it and got up to cook. Almost walked to Pizzahut, but when I got to the mailbox, I remembered that I didn't bring any money or credit card. There was this evil voice inside my head saying: they all have excuses not to do house work, broken finger, sick etc. But I know that if I don't hold it together, no one will.
Dad came back and took over the cooking. Things settled down and I apologised to Fuzzy. I will try harder.
It is raining today, but I actually feel a lot better in the morning. Washed the second load of clothes today. Dad let D took Mr. Lee's car to the garage to talk about the windscreen. I fried the rice in the afternoon and took Fuzzy to pay for her tuition: she finally discovered that the due day is tomorrow! Friday! That's why mum kept asking me to take her to uni...that's sorted now.
We got 6 new DVDs again. I am still worried about Fuzzy, or maybe I shouldn't worry so much about her. I am going to AKL on Saturday again for a 'casual discussion' about work. Hope this time I have better luck. Don't know how to prepare for this informal interview.
Feel bad about weight, still didn't lose any in July. I will have to eat less.
