It rains now. Melbourne is reported of water. I saw a report, it said melbourne was going to buy water from Tasmania. Long distance pipeline was going to be built between Victoria and Tamania. More than 2 billion(experts says 8 billion) will be invested to this huge project.
According to the rainfall, rain can be classified into mist, drizzle, shower, rain, storm and typhone. But here is more mist and drizzle. less shower, maybe never typhone and heavy storm. I asked the main reason for less rainfall.(as you know, most of oz land are deserts) Maybe there are no high mountains is a key.
I went to a church nearby. The mass on Sunday Starts at 10.30 and ends at 11.30. It's a small church. A nice lady gave me a paper to introduce me some information about the church and the nearby church. I told him I believe buddha and I came here to learn new culture and religious.
Call it a day.

Last night I went to went to Vermount South to play table tennis with friends. Most of them were trained by famous coach. They play very well. It is easy to see the difference between amateur and professional. I feel unnatural when they hit the ball back to my field. and when they served, I do not know how to hit their ball back. Always only one bounce, I lost a score.
It is a table tennis court in a church, (maybe called ST Johns, but I did not know it clear) for a local table tennis club. it seems to east of Midborough Road. I have no feeling on direction especially at night.
I though of the car I bought, it was made in 1994, seems to be a bit older and not very cheap. but to the most toyota corolla in melbourne saled by dealers, it is cheap. I sent a sms to Ash and told him I did not wanna buy the car because it is too old. Ash said I should tell the dealer and the car was good. well, deal.

Yesterday afternoon, someone called me about my job hunting things. It seemed to be an agent. I was listening to the radio when the phone rang.
She asked wheather or not I applied the position. and told me the job was in sydney, would I like to move there. and asked my expect salary, I said 80 or 60. in fact I wanna say 6000 per month or 80000 per annum. but I said 80 hundred per month. she asked more about the salary and said it was different.
I did not make good preparation. I should do much for it.
