Back from Australia

25 08 2005

I’m finally back from Australia, almost a month of breadiful days.. the evil Eva and Joey said that i’m soggy, soggy like bread. Which means i’m fat. Hmmp. I’m not fat, me just gained abit of baby fats nia.

I missed the chee cheong fun in Amoy, i’m gonna have it for breakfast on monday when i go back to Robsinson office. I wanna eat dim sum buffet and sushi, I figured out a way to extort $$$ so he will have to treat me. Roti prata, although its made of flour (same as bread), i crave for it.

Its not a bad trip after all, even though loneliness keep on knocking on my apartment, and money keep on moving out of my pocket. Its a whole new kind of experience. Taking the airplane alone, taking the train alone, visiting fun places alone, having meals alone, eating fresh vegatables, and cooking for myself (fail terribly). I actually enjoy eating the onions in the sandwiches, incredible. It all feel so adult, to be alone. I acted cool when i’m walking in the city, even when i have lost my way. Sometimes the streets are just not the way they are suppose to be on the map. Everytime i got out of a shop, i wondered if i came in from the left or from the right. Haha..

The Central train station was huge, with 40 over platforms if i remember correctly. Theres only 1 train every hour to get back from Sydney to Wollongong. Waiting at platform 4, my haversack loaded with 5kg nougats and chocolates. Something is not so right. The train is approaching, but Wollongong does not appear on the screen. Damn, i’m at the wrong platform. The guard told me that the train to Wollongong, platform 25 it is at. I dun wanna miss my train and wait for another chilling hour. Platform 25 i have to get to, in 4 min. Up the escalator, cross the long hallway, turn left and up the escalator. Time seems to pause for me.. Panting.. "to wollongong?" i asked the guard, breathing in all the air i can get around me. Yup, i made it, 5kg of dairy products, safe and sound, i’m proud of myself. Grinning and panting at the same time. The train moved off immediately once i got a seat onboard.

Most of the photos are still in my camera. Lazy to upload them. Only satisfied with a few of them.

View1 This is the North Beach near my apartment. No, its actually a lagoon, the beach is over at the right. Calm and serene. Beautiful !

Will upload more photos next time. Stay tuned.
