La Perouse

This is the place that I think I am going to test my device. It is at North Cronulla Beach.

This is the place that I think I am going to test my device. It is at North Cronulla Beach.

Went to a few beaches to search for a strategic place to test my wave device. First off we went to La Perouse, the waves there are too strong and it is kinda rocky so I don’t think it is a suitable place after all. After that, we went to a beach near La Perouse and it seemed like a suitable place for us as there were some man-made rocks which are good in deploying my wave device. It was raining heavily all of a sudden and I was all wet. After that, we went to Cronulla Beach in South Sydney and we found a sewage pipe which runs across to the the sea, it was very quiet, not sure if it was because of the rain but we were very happy with it. The waves are strong enough to generate 1kW of electricity and the water is kinda deep. The frequency of incoming waves is about 6-7 seconds and sometimes even faster than that. The big question will be how are we going to mount or install the device on it?

I am not in the mood yet to start my thesis, still can’t get over my holiday yet after a very hectic semester. Look like I just have to start next week, if not my supervisor will not be happy. There are still so many things to do but thanks to my dad for helping me with the unidirectional gear system, it is like a big step forward for me, I could easily spend months of that! After all, I just have to spend my whole summer on my thesis and working at the same time. My friends are leaving me one by one, either graduating or going back for summer holiday. To add salt to my injury, my love life seems like going nowhere so I am all alone here with no one to be with except for my colleagues. Guess I have to find my own happiness living alone.

Went to my friend’s graduation this evening, hoping that I will graduate with 2nd class upper, I am so close and yet there are so many things to be done to reach my goal. It is solely depending on my honours thesis now. Well, at least I only have 1 unit of study next semester so I can fully concentrate on the thesis. Around this time of the year, I should have been having fun in New Zealand but due to the nature of my work which I will not disclose here, I had to fork out another $230 to change my flight to April next year, during Easter holiday. I have finished touring the South Island of New Zealand so I will finish off the whole New Zealand by travelling around North Island of New Zealand next year. :)

Unfortunately, I just paid ATO (Australian Taxation Office) $2247 today and it hurts me so much. I guess, it will take some time for me to recover the money. In fact, I bought a Wii last week and I spend around $360 for that. Arghhh! Money is not enough! Just gonna work hard this summer and simultaneously curb my spending on food and other expenditures! Money will never be enough, just like sex!
