Numbered
My days in the second Aussie adventure are numbered. With about two and the half week to go before I return to the country I call home. Home to the beautiful people which I grew accustomed to and the wide variety of food which I love and miss so very much.
Come to think of it, time really flies when you least expected it. It seems like yesterday when I arrived in Aussie-land a year and half ago for the first Aussie adventure. Before long, I was introduced to DOTA by the wonderful people I befriended with in less than a month. Life was fairly good, but, there is a feeling missing, the feeling of home warmth. Yes I was home sick, Aussie-land is not my comfort zone, and in fact it is 8.5 hours by plane away from the comfort I call home.
First Aussies adventure was full of pleasures and pressures that left me with great memories. One of the distinctive pleasures was the ‘freedom’ from my parents. No more mother nagging here and there and definitely no one there to tell you what to do and what not to do. Oh yes, freedom that comes with a feeling like no other. And yet, with this freedom things I did do not feel right, may be because there is no one there to nag and brood over what ever I do or may be because there wasn’t anyone who complains about the things I done.
Another memorable pleasure was the DOTA 5 man team; a team of 5 individuals who see each almost every day. This team was never difficult to be spotted; this is because for almost 4 hours a day, they hang out around the cyber café playing DOTA. Besides that, they are always seen smoking which creates an environment similar to a chimney airing the smokes away. ~~sigh~~ those great old days of pawning people in ‘battlenet’ which makes our team basically the defeat-able.
Perhaps the most worthy of pressures to mention were the two weeks spent in the computer labs. Those were the craziest time in my study life, I say. Oh well, it can’t be blamed, the marketing research assignment was about to due and then there were piles of calculations, graphs, tables, beautiful essays and findings need to be done. And of course those ‘ang moh’ in the research team are no help at all.
Yet, I am sitting here; typing this out while savoring those memories of the Aussie adventures knowing the fact my time here is coming to a close. Will I miss this place once I return home? Guess I have to answer that at another time and place.
