post-trip entry - impression

first of all, i would like to thank kiau, ok i better be nice, i would like to thank Joanne, =p for everything! i really enjoy the entire trip with you, from melbourne to gold coast, and i guess our friendship grows deeper? previously i didnt know her that much, but after spending this holiday with her, i got to know things i never knew before, like things about her family and relationship. and also things like she only eats butter when its melted. sigh... hahaha !! anyway, really thanks for the company! in regards to that, im now adjusting my english back to normal. since i met kiau, we have been speaking manglish, so manglish sometimes im sick of it! you know, with all the broken language like :
1. very hooott!! can die !
2. so cham wan.
3. wah, so geng wan you.
4. yoh, have to wait for one hour bus again, can die!
5. eh, tell you something ar, i want to shit! (she would say this everyday)
6. yoh, i want to kam fei ady, or not really can die!
7. ei, later the kangaroo come again, how? im very scared la !
8. can die
i dont know why or how we develop saying 'can die'. hahaha! we used it almost everyday!
anyway, at the same time i felt so back at home. hahaha !

secondly, thanks to all my new friends! all these people from hongkong adds so much colour into my trip, with all the babbling and jokes and chit chats. i could blend in with this bunch easily as they are all really friendly people. well, all i can say that is the next time i visit hk, i would have more friends to hang out with. =)

thirdly, thanks to yw and wl. thanks for planning my trip in brisbane, i know it was hard to think of where to bring me as im from melb. haha !! i see it now, how hard it was for both of you when trying to think of places! anyway, just want to let you all know that even if we were to just sit at home for two days, i would still enjoy it as all the chats that we had were really meaningful! we had so much to talk, from life to uni, to relationship and to gakkai internationally. i find it really different when i talk to comrades, we can just relate every single thing in life with faith and at the end of each conversation, we are all recharged and have things re-determine again, on how we should continue our life in Australia, what can we contribute and what we want to create here and to be a different person when we return, and lastly to inspire and to be inspired!

fourth, this thing about mayonaise! well, i dont think i need to go over it again, its already in my previous post. all i want to say is that, i was glad that i drop him a message in friendster and that's how it got us connected again. =) it was really amazing how i was in friendster one fine day, and i just suddenly have this thought of visiting this friend eventhough i wasnt sure whether or not he is still in Aus because its been sooooo looooonnnngggg since was last kept in touch. what we are doing now is the like re-live of the good old times on icq, just that this time is on msn. this is so deja-vu. haha

lastly, im glad that this trip has been really enjoyable and that i felt so good as for the first time, all my traveling needs are all covered myself, every single cents i used were money that i earn myself. well, for others, this might be nothing to you, but for me, i think this is one of my biggest achievement in Aus on top of other aspects. ive been using my dad's money for 20 years, i never work before so this is something new in my life. well, 5 months gone, i felt that im a step ahead of what i am before, i felt very independent and im looking forward for more challenges ahead, to grow and continue to see more wonders in life. =)
