Bringing Melbourne Alive
through rekindled reunions from home. birthday gifts that touch the heart and late night catch ups till 5am. hardly sleeping always eating, just your average tourist for the month. graduating through thunderstorm and sunshine, adding on to the joys and harsh realizations of the day. the crazy people i call friends who came to support me- you all made my day! (p.s. i miss you girls, and ironically, im seeing the guys in beijing soon) wine and dine, in not much style but lots of comfort. GPS-ing through long drives, SMS-ing in between naps, trigger-happy souls wandered through the sights and sounds in ultimate delight.

Macau and everything in between
was supposedly a shopping paradise, both for the brand-conscious (macau) and for the thrifty fashionistas (other parts of China). the best company for whisky and dirty jokes during dinner. family friends are the kind of friends you keep as family, for all time. endless massages, by young but skilled masseurs. travelling from north to south to east to west, for the best culinary treats. winning at roulette, only to splurge on everything else. coffee was almost impossible to find. conversing in broken bits of mandarin, only to have them reply in cantonese.. bah. an interesting trip.

Chinese New Year
sparkling red with gorgeous hakka meals, day through night through dawn. obligatory wishes, added on to the overflowing yee sang. cries of forgotten faces and new additions to the family tree. kids blooming into teenagers, young adults looking for adventures abroad and beyond.. the old, smiling at them all. festivity joined in by two barking dogs who hate being left out of the chatter. some people change, but nothing bonds better than a deck of cards laid on the table of course.

12 weeks of intensive Mandarin classes at BLCU, and then off to realize an AIESEC internship. for the first time, im going alone.
Fingers crossed, the adventure begins.
