Lunch With Lyssa In Sydney – Mad Chaos: March 5, 1998

View CES Job Placements

Speaking of the day just finished, Wednesday morning I woke up early to meet with Lyssa in Sydney.  Having a shower and dressing up, I packed my pockets and received a lift from my parents who were off to shop.  

Having a couple of minutes to spare I stepped into the CES and viewed the job placements.  There was one job that I printed before leaving for the City.

Circling Sydney With No Train Ticket

My mum gave me some money but I didn’t want to buy a train ticket.  Instead, I traveled unpaid.  Time flowed nicely.  I had half an hour to spare when I reached Central Station.  This is where the catastrophe started taking place.  

I thought I would be able to walk though the gate at Central Station without a ticket.  Mistaken I was as all the gates had guards.  Jumping onto the next available train, I caught that train to Town Hall expecting ticket machines to be on the inside of the station.  Jumping off, I found I was wrong.  They were closed down.  

Once again I was stuck with ticket collectors at the gates.  Once again I ran onto the train and impatiently caught the train around the City Circle.  

Arriving at Circular Quay I tried to quickly call Lyssa and give her a message that I would be late, but the message was cut off because I was arriving underground.  Jumping off at St. James I was already late and angry when I found that the gates were once again guarded.  

One more time I tried.  I stopped at Museum station, the last time I would stop before catching a train to Tempe to purchase a ticket.  That didn’t end up happening, as the ticket machines were not working and there was no guard.

Happy I was as I stormed out of the station and started running hard to meet with Lyssa, hoping she hadn’t left yet.  

Running fiercely, I was almost run over by a taxi when I tried to cross a road at the wrong time.  

Lunch With Lyssa In Sydney

Puffed out, I noticed Lyssa still waiting for me 15 minutes later.  Pausing for a short rest, I greeted her and then told her my story.  She listened without interest and more intensity on finding Carleigh whom we were supposed to meet for lunch.

Stopping near Wynyard we waited for 15 minutes but Carleigh didn’t show up or had already left.  Lyssa was angry at her.  Then we traveled to McDonald’s to buy some food.  It was almost time for Lyssa to go back to work, but we sat down and both ate before leaving.  Lyssa told me that when she gets some money she will take me to lunch in a better restaurant in the City.

Walking Lyssa back to work I gave her a kiss and then waited downstairs for her.  Lyssa came back in twenty minutes with the DX in her hand, as we delivered mail first.  From there we visited the banks together where she received $4,000 in cash to pay one of the partners in her office.  The day was hot as we delivered the DX.  Then it was time to go back to work.  

Visit A Sydney Optometrist

I said goodbye to Lyssa and started my own journey to the CES.  Reaching the corporate section, I sat down and arranged an interview for tomorrow in a recruitment agency as an Office Administration Trainee.  

Finishing up, I then traveled to the Optometrist just down the street to get my eye test done.  I have been wanting to wear contact lenses for a while now.  The tests were cool, as they put all these big machines on my eyes to test my vision and responses.

As I was taken upstairs more tests were done to me.  Then the optometrist asked me what color contacts I would like to wear.  Giving him the go ahead for green and blue, he took out some disposables and then tried placing them in my eyes.  

Afraid I was the first time he tried to put the contact lens in.  Not sure on how thick or dense the contact lens was, I found it a relief finding out it was just thicker then glad wrap.  The optometrist had a hard time putting the first one in my eye, as I started shedding tears from my tear ducts.

After a long time the first contact lens was in.  I then had to get used to it and rub it in to the right place.  The pain described by me felt like a piece of sand on the top of my eye.  The second contact (a different color) was placed in my other eye.  After some more time crying I took a look in the mirror.  

With two colors in my eyes I looked different.  Two green contacts were in my eye, both different greens.  I found this was my color and it made me look scary and innocent at the same time.  Placing a blue contact in I found that it didn’t match my appearance.  It was too outstanding and made me look scarier than the green contacts.  After a long talk with the optometrist I grabbed some brochures and then ran to meet with Lyssa, as I was late.

Sydney Shopping With Lyssa

Lyssa and I done the DX.  Then we headed for Hound Dog, where Lyssa decided to buy a top that we looked at in Parramatta.  From there we caught the train and headed back home.  

On the train it was hot.  We sat next to a couple of people, Lyssa on one side and me on the other.  As we settled in and people started to fall asleep, Lyssa and I started talking.  We talked about how we might be going out next week with Penelope and Ali to Lonestar.  Lyssa’s feet were tired.  She lay them across me as we relaxed on the way home.

Discuss Relationship In Lonestar

Stopping at Campbelltown, Lyssa took some money out, gave me some money and then we headed for Lonestar.  Sitting down at a booth we waited for our usual drinks, as we cracked peanuts and talked about our relationship.  

Lyssa asked me whether my love still grows for her or if it has stopped.  

I told Lyssa that with every passing moment, there is no possibility that my heart will feel less of her and stop loving her.  From this day until the days that Lyssa and I break up I will love her and will still carry a love when she is gone from my love life.  

Lyssa and I have been going through a rough couple of weeks just gone.  We’ve developed a lot of hate toward each other that we have started to resolve now.  We tend to see problems more often and argue the point of them.  Hopefully we will be over that phase soon.

As our meal came Lyssa and I dug in and finished the fries and dinner salad with still a spot in our stomachs.  Lyssa and I started conversation as we waited for our dessert to arrive.  

Lyssa told me something she has never really thought she could share with me.  After I made Lyssa feel relaxed about the farting issue, she told me how she was feeling sick in the stomach this morning.  The kind of sick that is in your bowels, she told me how while having a shower she let off a real loud one.  Not just one, but a couple.  As she talked freely, she explained that her mum could have heard.  

I then realized we were in public.  Looking over my shoulder I realized that there were people behind us.  Lyssa then also realized at how loud her voice was.  Then we both hysterically started laughing and crept our heads down to table level, still laughing.  It was a real funny moment, one to remember as we finished up, paid and then left full.

Penelope Uncovers Ali’s Secret

Lyssa didn’t want to catch a bus and called Penelope to pick her up.  Lyssa and I were also talking about Penelope and how she found out that Ali was in the City on Friday with Imad, and how girls tried to crack onto him but he rejected them and how Imad got a fuck.  Penelope and Ali are now arguing over that problem.

Ring Lyssa Up

As Lyssa left I waited for a bus over half an hour and then arrived home.  When home I called Lyssa up to talk.  Lyssa and I talked for half an hour before she had to sleep, as she told me how cute her cat was.  Lyssa also told me that she tends to sleep with her ‘Bubbsy Wubbsy Woo Woo’ (a stuffed puppy dog that I had given to her for Valentine’s Day) and slept with it last night.  Lyssa was real tired and had to go to bed.  I let her go.

Editing Music For A New CD Mix

Then I started playing around with music on my computer.   For the last two hours I’ve been playing around with music on my computer, trying to edit a song from ‘Boyz II Men’ their new CD.  

The idea for this came when I thought about the CD that I had given to Jewell eons ago.  I think it’s time to revamp that energy and give her another CD later on in life, this time with new flair, new charisma and a new passion that tells the same story.  On a song I have been working on, I have successfully edited a verse and a part of a chorus out of the song.

I’ve been thinking more and more about doing a course for audio engineering, or a small course involving music, multimedia or photography.  My Multimedia use is getting better.  I just wish now I had bought a better computer with better options, better hardware and professionalism in the programs that are used.  I just have amateur equipment.  

What I’ve had in my mind for a while now is to compile a new CD for Jewell with new songs for the old dates and then new songs for moments beyond, maybe with a compilation of my own.  This CD I won’t make for a while to come.  Instead, like the visions in my mind and the songs that I sing to myself everyday, the songs that I’ve created, I will keep in the back of my mind until the right time comes.  That time is not now.

Planning Ahead

Another day has passed and I write in my Diary late with the reason that I have been using my computer in a multimedia kind of way.  

Thursday morning I have an interview but I want to get into the City early so I can visit Eros Theatre at around 10am.  Most of the day will be spent at Eros Theatre.  I will spend lunch with Lyssa, have my interview and then visit the Eros Theatre one more time before meeting Lyssa for home time.
