State Election

Last Saturday, I worked for the state election. I worked at the Cabra Vale Leisure Centre but initially I thought I was working at Cabravale Diggers because of the 'Cabravale' part. It was only recently that Cabra Vale Leisure Centre became a polling area. Maybe because it's recent, not that many people knew about it, or they just rather go to a place where they're used to going. So by the end of the day, less than 300 people voted at our place and hence, we get to go home earlier than most people =). I wish it was more busy, but it wasn't so bad. There were boxing bags there so we just exercised while we waited for people to come. I also had fun talking to the liberal scrutineers for our location; Michelle and Christine. I wonder if I'll ever see them again =). 
Anyways, Dai Le received the most votes in our location but overall, it was Nick Lalich who won the seat for Cabramatta. Apparently, for this year's state election, Liberal won with 67 seats, Labor with 18 seats and others (Independent groups) with 3 seats. Bummer. Well, Labor has been running the government for the last 16 years. I guess people felt a need for change.

it's raining candies and lollies =)

23O311 - Derek's 19th and Julie C.'s 19th Birthday.
24O311 - Jessica Tan's 19th Birthday.

 Derek, the birthday boy =).

On Friday night, we ate at Villawood's Killa Burger and bowled at AMF Bowling for Derek's 19th birthday outing. We were split into four groups; I was with Kelly, Wendy, Jessica T. and Minhky. Luckily, I didn't come last for either of the cames. I managed to get a strike, so I'm happy =) but I did worse in the second game than the first. I wanted to beat Minhky but I was too busy taking photos and socialising to bother with bowling anymore. Oh wells, there's always next time =). In our group, Kelly was the best =). There were quite a few people who were really good at bowling, or maybe I just suck =P. I'm happy to see Wendy improved so much in one game =D; she was last in the first one, but she went up to the 60s in the second one =D. Anyways, everyone was pretty much all over the place LOL taking photos and goofing around; I even learnt some dance moves from the guys. I think they were more like comedic dance moves than anything else HAHAHA. Mimi, Maxine and I kept on doing them for the rest of the night xD I had heaps of fun. I hope Derek did too =).

We loitered around the parking lot after the bowling. A couple of people left by then. We decided to finally play with the pinata that Kenneth and Rebecka bought for Derek. Derek destroyed it in one punch O_O and like Edim said 'The pinata is bleeding candy. Derek's such a brute!' HAHAHA It didn't matter because pinatas are meant to be destroyed/demolished in order to reach for the lovely, sweet goodies inside =D. We then moved to a close by maccas, but it was closed. Hence, after a good half an hour of thinking of where to go, Rebecka suggested that we went to her old house since she still had the keys for it. Since Harrison and Margaret left with his car, we had to squish 19 people into 3 cars *sigh* I was in Derek's car. We had to drive Jenifer home since she wanted to go home by then. So we drove all the way to Bossley Park and then back to Rebecka's house at Chesterhill. We didn't stay long at Rebecka's house; after about 20 minutes, we all went home. Again, Derek drove me home =). Thanks Derek! Anyways, I hope he had a heaps of fun =).

The pinata bled =(.

PS. Got home by around 12AM.
PSS. It was Jessica Tan's birthday hahaha. We wished her happy birthday as she drove away from Rebecka's house. 
PSSS. Thanks for the photos Derek, Sarah, Shirley, Jenifer and Jessica =).
PSSSS. Some of the people in the group sang Friday by Rebecca Black =____________=' NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

RSA + RCG

After 2 weeks, I finally got both my RSA (Responsible Services of Alcohol) and RCG (Responsible Conduct of Gambling) at the Coffee School near Central station. Kelly also got her 2 certificates there; she said that it was the cheapest place she could find. All together, I paid $100 for it =) hopefully I'll be able to find a job easier, and hopefully I'll be able to work at an RSL club >.

It took 2 weeks because at first I only wanted to do the RSA but then I made a friend there and she said in order to work at an RSL club I need the RCG as well, and went I went home to book it for the next day it was full, so i had to wait for another week. 

I had a funny teach for my RSG; Mark Almond. He told us stories about all the jobs and funny incidents that he's been through, so it wasn't so bad. For RCG, I had Greg White. He wasn't as funny as Mark, but he tried to make the most of it, and he taught us quicker than Mark did; we finished an hour earlier. I almost thought I wasn't going to pass the test because the questions were worded weirdly and all, so I received quite a lot of help from the girl sitting next to me. I was also having trouble staying awake in class because I only had 3 hours of sleep the night before. It was also because it was raining; rain tend to make me sleepy. Who wouldn't be. 

Anyways, it was sunny again by the time I took the train. It became cloudy again when I reached my stop *sigh*. I really don't like the weather =.=. Autumn's all over the place.
