Australia Cheered Me Up

I've been in Melbourne for a week now. I feel quite good.

I don't know, it's always easier to break free from the world that is hard on you, and just get a fresh start somewhere else. Maybe that is also part of the reason why I can never stay at one place for too long? Saying goodbye is really hard, everytime, but thinking about it, I probably prefer quitting while I'm ahead over staying long enough for drama to catch up with me. Sounds like I'm the type who likes to take a run when it gets hard, no?

I'm not, actually. But I won't deny running away is always easier. (And the convenient thing about not having another choice is that guilt just doesn't drown you as much).

I've reunited with family members that I haven't seen in years. Leave one family to get to another. Yeah, that's not so bad if done once in a while. I'm happy where I am right now.

Also, Melbourne reminds me of someone. A pretty cool person from a long, long time ago. You know that feeling when you're trying to meet up with someone you used to have a crush on, and while you probably aren't crushing on them that much anymore, you still get that nervous and tingling feeling in your stomach? I don't even know if we can meet, but my mind has already conjured up endless of possible scenarios already. Everytime I think about it, I grin like an idiot. Silly me...

Well. Let's just see how this Aussie land treats me, yeah?

ETA: I can't believe what just happened.

I watched a weird youtube video with my 4-year-old cousin and almost blurted out, "What the f--", but stopped myself just in time. I was like, phew, nice save there, Phiphi.

Ten minutes into playing another game, she burped out of nowhere. I laughed at her, but she turned and said into my face, "Fuck you!" And ran away crying with laughter.

W.T.F.

I was paralysed right then and there. Just like that one time in Singapore, when Quynh threw such a filthy word at me I was in shock for the rest of the day.

Sigh. Kids nowadays...
