I got a job!!!

Well I went to my first ever job interview in London yesterday and an hour later I got a call from the job agency who gave me the good news!! Ahhhh I got the job!!! The pay is a little lower than expected but quite reasonable for a starting role and a step in the door within the Architectural industry for me!

I'll be working on a rolling contracting min. 6-8wks in a med-large Architectural practice called Stefan Zins where my role will be as an Architectural Assistant/ Technician. (http://www.szal.co.uk/ ) I'm a little nervous because I havent touched AUTOCAD for a good year now so I'll need to brush up on my skills before starting on Monday! I can't believe I actually got a foot in the door- it will be a great challenge for me, I can't wait! And then.... I can't wait to finish the contract so I can go travelling again!! =D

-yay!!!

Still looking...

- So we've finally moved out-yay! And there were new duvets, bed sheets and quilt covers so I didn't have to go out and buy them!! I've finally got my own bed and am sharing a room with Irene whilst Bora has her own room until Annie comes back from her tour around Europe.
- Still unemployed... =( BUT I've got the patience to wait!
- I'm spending quite abit when I shouldn't be!
- We never reached Scotland the other weekend but instead we travelled to Leeds, York Castle, The Roman Baths and to Stonehenge. It was one uncomfortable sleep for the 4 of us in the car! Never again I tell ya.. never again!
- Last night in the old house: the crazy guy spat beer at Bora and never admitted to it! -even when we all saw it!!! He's crazy I tell ya!
- Went clubbing at poshy Capisce and saw lots of Sydney-siders there. We even got our photo taken at the club!
- I'm cooking tonite... I think I'll make Bruschetta as entree and Spaghetti as the main. We're all trying to eat healthy so I don't know if I should buy Icecream for dessert. We all really need to work out. There's a park directly across the road from where we live and Bora intends for us all to go jogging there every arvo... hmmmmz I don't know about that! Though, I do still look pregnantish- ahhhh!

- Oanhsta- I went to Camden Town yesterday!!! Not for dnb though, just to check out the massive market. I'm so sure that it's your kind of place missy!! =) Man, I'm really starting to miss all you guys!!!

- Jimmy- I knew I left my Burmese purse behind! Im sure you'll take good care of it for me -even if you don't like it! hehe

Having breakfast in front of the Abbey Church... York Castle

At the beautiful Roman Bath..... drinking water from the fountain of youth (yeh right!)

Our new living area WITH sofas! .... Bora, myself and Irene at club Capisce

What's been happening..

- Am still looking for a new place for us 4 girls to move into. There is one potential flat in Brook Green that I checked out today- 2 double bedroom (big enough for storage space and to fit 2 single beds), a separate dining and living space (with a TV!), lots of sunlight and ventilation, washer AND dryer, close to Hammersmith station, convenient to shops and small restaurants nearby, clean kitchen (with HOTPLATES!), and a very clean bathroom. We're viewing the place again this evening and if the girls like it, we're putting down a deposit immediately and can move in MONDAY!!

- Currently living with a "crazy" 30yr old house mate who talks to himself when no one is around. He's starting to scare us girls in the house a lot with the Italian words that comes out of his mouth (one of the girl's Italian so she can understand him)... "I want to eat those girls".... " How can I deal with those bitches"... and Irene offered him ice-cream last night and he turned around and said to her "Put it up your ass". Ahhhhhh!! Since last night, I really want to move out ASAP!

- Have got my FIRST interview with an Architectural company on Monday. I'm a little nervous atm... *fingers crossed also!* Have been a little stressed out from applying for so many jobs and looking for a new place to stay since I got back from Holland. I only recently registered with some agencies who specifies in Architecture to look for work for me and it's so much easier to let them handle it all than having me go to the internet cafe everyday and surf for jobs. If only I had done it sooner!

- Went to an interesting photo shoot with David the other day. Amongst a few other asians we wore all black with our hair tied and slicked back to look "sheek" and "professional" and we stood behind the female singer in the photo shoots. Her name's China and she's an upcoming singer here in the UK-the photo shoots were for her promotional advertisements and her album cover. I got to be in two different photo shoots, it was fun!!

- Have been convinced to go to Scotland this weekend with other housemates (not the crazy dude!) because it is cheap. David has rented a car for us and according to his words, "I'll tie you up and throw you in the boot" if I don't go! -hehe only joking that is!

- Still getting used to settling into the London lifestyle. It's not easy when you're unsettled with no proper place to stay or even have a job. I give myself another week or two for it to all work out...

*fingers crossed*

P.S. My cousin Jimmy, you were wrong!! In regards to soccer, Australia ain't sh** at all!!! 1-1 for Australia vs Netherlands! Hah! :)
