Good Stuff

Lia 
Lia came over today. I made lunch and then we watched Deep Impact and just hung out. I also packed up most of my stuff for my move on Sunday. Of course, I'm still not sure where I'm moving to.

Its kind of nice living here alone, even if its just a short time. Its clean, there aren't any ants. I can relax.

Vocab Stuff

As I'm at the point in Korean where I'm attempting to memorize some of the more useful emotion-related words, I thought I'd post them here. More for my benefit than yours of course ;-) It also forces me to type Korean, which isn't terribly hard, and while its certainly very useful to be able to type many languages, it still sucks to learn each time. That deep ache that comes from forcing your brain to work so hard in memorizing the key layout. I hope its worth the pain.

기뻐 - happy
슬퍼 - sad
위로워 - depressed
지겨워 - bored (as in not being interested in whats going on)
화났어 - angry
우울해 - depressed
재밌어 - fun
무서워 - scared

Also, here are a few ไทย words I picked up recently. They came from gambling discussions.
เท่าทุน - to break even on a financial investment; sell at par
เจ๊ง - to lose on an investment
เจ๊า - to tie, a draw

Correction!

It seems I made an error when I said "ประจำวันนอนไม่หลับเลยคิดว่าจะตายแล้ว" the other day. Here is the correction.

นอนไม่หลับสักวันจนจะตายแล้ว

Thanks Wad!

Quiet House - どうすればいいんだよ？！

Cody left on Saturday, and Dan left about 4am this morning. So I slept most of the day and then cleaned up the kitchen a bit. I'm still in this house for one more week so I will gradually make it look nice. I have nothing else to do after all.

I'm moving in with a Japanese guy in the city on the 3rd. That will be another week with nothing to do. Perhaps, I should change my flight date? I'm not really sure if I have the money to be doing nothing for 2 weeks. Hrm. I've studied a bit today, but thats about it.

I can't remember if I mentioned this already, but I went to the Melbourne Zoo with Lia last week. It was crap. I felt really bad for the big cats. Their cages are far too small and they just eat, pace and sleep. What a miserable exsistence. I suppose the only decent display was the butterfly room. It was in a special nursery where the heat and humidity were jacked up real high. They just fly all around you. Some of them are huge.

Farewell Jams

I went out for dinner and drinks with Will, Tomo, Ashin, Lia and Lana as Will is leaving fairly soon. I got pretty drunk before heading home. When I got back there was a big goodbye party going on at the IH, so I started drinking again. It was a blast! We took lots of pics and I got a few people to write in my book of many languages that I will hopefully be able to read all of someday. I'll try and get some pics up asap.

I hung out with Yun one last time today, as she is leaving for NZ on Tuesday and she won't be back to Melbourne before returning to Korea. I had a great time with her, and am lucky to have met her.
