just got back from an impulse trip to adelaide!
just lying in bed one night on a boring tuesday...
when it dawned on me...
what's there stopping me from going on a trip right there and then?
so i did!
thanks to my saviour rachel, who drove all the way to my place at 5am send me to the airport!
love u girl..
anyways..
i went, had the best time ever, made great new friends...
and i regret nothing.
true it set me back financially, raised a few eyebrows, made me have a bad bout of early morning sickness( no im not pregnant, i'm just born with morning sickness. make me do anything early like TRAVELLING and im a goner.)
but it was all worth it.
owe it all to my cousin and her housemates and friends, who were all so welcoming and friendly even though i came so suddenly and pretty much unannounced.
went around the wineries, to the lovely Hahndorf, the international rugby sevens, various yummy restaurants, shopping in town, central market and the beach too.
had pretty meaningful conversations with my cousin's housemate's boyfriend Clyde, which made me think looong and hard bout my future.
coming from a 30 yr old guy, who made it for himself in australia..
i would say it's all good advice.
and if nothing else...
the whole trip , plus my stay here so far in sydney,
made me realize my direction and what i want for sure.
i wanna live here in australia, and have my kids grow up here.
i want them to have space, to appreciate nature, to have countless opportunites to pursue their dreams...
and i wanna grow old in a country where i can own my own home, an actual house, not a bloody flat.
travel around, and being able to afford the little pleasures in life.
life in singapore isn't living, it's mere hand to mouth existence unless you've been blessed with super money-saving powers, rich parents, or plain good luck.
most of us get by on an ordinary existence.
and no offense to people who choose singapore's comforts and stability...
i just know it's not for me.
so i shall go back, give back to the community that have given me the privilege of the scholarship by working my bond off...
then i'm coming back.
where i know, ever since i was a kid...
i belong.
