The Lakehouse

This will be my final blog post from Australia. I have less than 6 hours left in Australia, and I have to say, I am a bit scared to go now. Time went by so quickly! I can't believe it's almost over! I'm recalling the time when I was in Myanmar and we were leaving the country for good. I was saying goodbye to our 3 good little dogs, the people, and the buildings. I'm serious. I was saying goodbye to the moldy green buildings. They were all very old and very disgusting. "Goodbye filthy things!" And I never saw one again..

Now, it's different. This time, I feel reluctant to go. The things I've grown to love in this country, I will have to leave. One thing I will miss dearly, is the cold. This morning, I woke up, and it was nice and cold. I took my blankets and pillow into the living room, and watched Man Utd and Benfica battle for 1st place in their Champions League group. It was nice to be under my covers. Something I won't really enjoy in Singapore :( Oh well, there will be different 'happiness' there..

Before I leave, I'll just say one thing. I've been in Australia for the past 3 years, and it has grown to become my home. It's where I grew up from a small adolescent child, into a bigger wiser person, not only in the world but also in God. And even though I may be gone for 2 years, I will always remember how lovely this place has been, and how much I've taken out of this place (and I don't just mean the amount of water I helped waste). I think I'll change again in 2 years. It's a very long time, and lots will happen. I know will be become stronger, more independent, more mature, and probably more patient. And also at the same time, I will become more asian, more rude, more arrogant, and probably more down-right irritating to talk to. All in the name of love.

This is me, signing out from Australia, till 2 years in the year 2009.
