Grampians I







And the hiking begins....

















他们不知不觉变成了我的"家人"。

一直以来孤单寂寞的日子都是过去。。。 这段期间突然变得五彩缤纷; 充满欢乐, 嘲笑, 戏弄, 喊叫。。。

感觉十分幸福。。。

一些老朋友都比不上这些新朋友们。。。

Even though I only just got to know them not too long ago, they showed more sincerity than friends with years long friendship.

To be honest, I was never bullied or teased this much by anyone ever in my entire life but surprisingly, I don't hate it.

They refused to let me run by hanging on to my backpack and I was forced to apply some Vicks to my nose area to subdue my motion-sickness. And this group of girls hate walking empty handed while the rest are carrying stuff. You heard me right! People who actually prefer to carry bags with stuff in them.

One more thing I am totally not used to....

My lower body was buried under the sand today when we went to the beach [I am a pretty golden brown colour now :)] and since it was indeed a substantial amount of time, my legs were numb when I was dragged out and couldn't walk. They actually massaged my legs. The standard response I get each time that happens would be: laughter OR "massage la" BUT not 2 girls getting down on their knees and massaging my legs. Highly unexpected!

Best part about them is they are always really NOISY! Sounds familiar? hahaha!
I think I just found my crowd!

Maybe and just maybe I am not prepared to return home just yet. I am not prepared to be under his scrutiny all the time (constantly comparing, constantly having to do what I've been told, constantly trying to meet expectations, having to defend myself each time I fall short of the expectations).

It's ridiculous how each and everytime I am pretty satisfied with my performance but yet because it fell short of the expectations, I always end up feeling really upset and disappointed. But yet I miss home really badly .....

But thankfully, I gain strength each time and this time round, I made new friends who made my last few weeks in Melbourne an unforgettable experience. They made a "home" in Melbourne; one that I thought do not exist.
I have one more week to spend with them before I end my final year in Melbourne with a BANG! We will continue to meet up in KL whenever possible.
