Donate Blood

Today I went to one blood donor center near to my place . It was my first time in Australia . They give me 2 forms : 1_personal information 2_questions about health background.

I answered most of questions and I left two questions without answer because I was not sure about answers. After that I had a interview with a doctor (one nice lady) , she check some questions with me and help me to answer those two questions . To make story short , I was alright with all questions expect one , and that one was: did you have contact with blood of somebody else ?, and my answer was Yes!! how did happened !? , well we were playing rugby in lismore and one guy get hurt and he washed his blood with one bottle of water . I did not have contact with that guy but my mistake was I washed my tooth protection with water of that bottle !oops! I know, I saw that after washing ! I feel Ok because that guy was their best player :-)

The doctor told me it could be risky if they take my blood and I have to wait until 27 Nov 2009.
At the end I like to add donating blood is a nice thing to do and is a sign of thinking about other people not only yourself!
I read this some where : only one in 30 donate blood but one in 3 will need blood in their lifetime . hope more people became motivated to donate blood ... thanks for reading.

August 2009 - Move out, Rugby, Assignments

Move out :
I move out to the new house on 11th august . At first i was a little bit sad but after passing a week I understand, that was good and necessary action for me. Now i am living with two Chinese friends . They can cook good and I can wash the dishes !:-) We sharing our budget and result for me is less budget than before.

Rugby :
Last week we traveled to Lismore (Southern Cross University (main campus)) for playing rugby with their team . They win the game ! :-( but we had lot of fun ! :-) for example after game there was a party : free food , free drinks and happy people. Next day in the bus was another enjoyable time for us (drinks + funny friends). After arriving to Coffs Harbour we went to the pub (Green house) then we had drinks+playing billiard . Finally we had party in campus's accommodation (drinks and dancing!) . In summery I could say Australian drinks a lot ! ;-)

Assignments :
I am studying BIT in SCU .Assignments could be divide to two groups , group 1 writing , group 2 coding . Group 2 are easier for me and takes less time + enjoyment ! :-) . On the other hand Group 1 is a little bit of pain for me! ;-)
anyway I realize that, you can do the perfect things if you could enjoy from it.

my foot ! football and hospital

Did you see the picture ? :-)
This happened one week ago , Now I am much better ! ;-)

Last Monday when we were playing indoor soccer , I turned fast but my foot didn't ! ;-) and I went to hospital at 19:30. I like to thank all of myFirends [Wayne, Jack, Poya, Matthew, Alex and Phil] because of their support by coming to hospital.

Doctor took picture (x-ray) from my leg and good news was nothing was broken ! and he recommend me to walk as soon as possible , then I start walking from there to the car . we left around 20:30 . (one of my friends said , we were lucky , some people have to wait for long time, even until midnight)
They charge me $A140.00 (include $70.00 x-ray) . I have medibank insurance and They will give me back some money , probably after three week.
First night was the hardest part for me , I couldn't sleep and continuously pain.

I am happy after one week I could walk and riding my bicycle to school .
And I have two options 1. lose some weight 2.don't play soccer anymore . I will choose option 1 :-)

Google code

I like to thank Google because of Google code service . I am happy with free subversion server. You have to chose one of open source license for your code. In my case Apache license version 2 .

I start first with Appfuse-gwt project , Appfuse (open source-java-web-maven!) is a great project and GWT (ajax-java-client!) is a great project.
I am very intersted on Appfuse and I worked with GWT recently , curently there is no module for GWT in Appfuse , then i decide to have a try . finally it comes up with very basic setting, it is only Hello World ! (I wish i had time for work on this more)

Second project is jijws , this one is PHP project (simple online shoping) and it was one of my project when i was student around 2 years ago . Now we (me & wayne) are working on this project for selling it to one car dealer .

I like to write more on my blog but finding time for writing is the hardest part and after 1 or 2 days is even harder to write something about the past ! ;-)

Happy time for our world :-)

Nana Glen & pretzels !

I was in Nana Glen today , and we(me & Annette) were invited to Edi property . They cooked pretzels bread there together . watching them during make bread was very interesting , they were all from Germany and the quality of there work was fantastic ! ;-) now pretzels with butter are my favorite taste . Green is the color all around , big trees and beautiful houses creates very great views there. some roads were closed because of huge amount of rain in last night. Actually we experience flooded-in 5 weeks ago !(Coffs Harbour 2009). And this time Lismore was in trouble . anyway driving time was enjoyable and i like to remmber and save these moments.

Annette's Birthday

Annette is my mother homestay family in Australia ! she came to Australia from East Germany with her husband(Ludwig) in 1971 . They didn't had any children and Ludwig past away 2 years ago . You may think Annette should be unhappy and alone woman , but she is not ! I am surprise with her lifestyle , she is happy and very active ,she use to walk every day for 1 hour and she is always busy with doing something, so we(me & phil(chinese guy)) have good foods + clean house . Today was her birthday (66 years old)she received many phone calls from her family and friends , and also many gifts . Tonight we (me & Annette & Ghozi) were in sawtell RSL club for dinner and after that we played billiard , it was my first time which i played real billiard (not in computer !:-)) , we had fun and i think i put more balls into gate more than others!, and at end Annette played on chance machines and she win $A20.00 and Ghozi lose $A2.00.

Playing Ragbi (First Time)

Yes , today i played Ragbi for the first time ! at first i didn't have any idea about what they are doing ! and what should i do ! :-)
The good things was they were Australian which means they are friendly and happy for answering you and helping you to find the way.

Yes , they explained hole the game to me during the game ! ;-)
Then we have some practices which in my opinion was serious training because 3 guys gets a little hurt on leg , shoulder and noise ,
seems a little serious yeah ? :-)

I enjoyed from playing, hole the time and if my body was more ready then surly my enjoyable time was more . Also last part of practice was very wonderful , one player should carry the ball by running and when he became stopped with defenders , then we should support him until one another player takes the ball and this process has continue very fast some times and created amazing moment for me , and I like to say thank you very much for these moments.

today was 19March2009 and i was in CHEC (Coffs Harbour Education Campus) at Australia .

p.s. currently i am in English language center which means my English will became better soon!:-)
