so i'm left with a couple of months here. I can't even begin to describe the sudden sadness that has started to sweep my mind. By the end of Nov, everyone will say their goodbyes, and i'll be here for awhile longer, by choice, to reminisce a little about this country i've grown very much in and learnt to love it like my own. I'm sure many who have been in my shoes before have probably felt the same way as I did.
Love, Life, Happiness, Laughters... my family here has basically taught me THAT MUCH.
my cousins have started to ask me if i'm excited to be heading back home. How ironic that a year ago, they asked me if I was excited to be coming here. As selfish as this may sound, not yet. But responsibilities at home are waiting. Not that i'm being ignorant about it, i'll just leave it be for now. I havent seen it ALL yet. not just yet.
Hobart was one for the books. I never realized that I could learn to love people as friends in the shortest amount of time. We met the funniest guys at the backpackers, who treated us like queens for the week.. long story for another time, really. Cait & I definitely had the most amazing time together (obviously, we were irresistably charming!). And much can be said about my Canadian friend, you are definitely one of the funniest people i've come across, in my life, and you have become someone very dear to me. This is for you Caity boo boo, boo boo boo...
I love you baby girl and may we stay in touch for the longest time ever. Have your fun in New Zealand and i'll definitely miss you so... xoxo.. your noodlepoodles =)
p.s: so the boys said they're gonna fly the both of us to Adelaide, yes??? call Pete & Jason, NOW!

i just spent my entire monday churning out 2000 words that has some relations to spina bifida. monday blues much??? and my poor brother just stayed in the room, engulfed himself in movies while he waited patiently for me. sigh, sorry lah dik. but think about it, SYDNEY TOMORROW BABY! like others, i cant wait to see opera and the bridge from the ferry wharf again. i miss it please.
and since fb is refusing to upload my photos, first weekend with adik here has been fantastic. it's really just nice to have him around to piss the shit out of me again. i can say this again, feels like home =)
there's a story behind this btw =) (obviously, I was the winner, duh!)
a whole week of fun and adventure awaits =))

what is the best thing about my home nursing job now??
a) it's nice to be able to practice some basic skills again
b) i've been travelling ALL OVER melbourne, seriously (to the point that when i drive to work, I know the roads at the back of my hand!)
c) when i enter a client's house, I feel like there's so much history in it and being the inquisitive person that I am (well, a politer way of saying that i'm a busybody), i see how they were when they were younger, their achievements and their families.. it's interesting
d) i go with them to their hairdresser's appointment, have tea and chocolate macaroons with them and pick flowers by the road (because the elderly has a freedom of choice here and they're just so independent!)
e) though I feel EXTREMELY exhausted, i kinda of like it. opens my eyes to a whole lot of a different expect of nursing
so simply put, I'm glad i landed this gig and it's nice to earn my own dough again.
I need a massive long sleep. It's been awhile since i get to get up past 8am! so yes, I'm shit-ass tired now so goodnight lovelies.
xoxo.
