I always have many things to write. As I am driving home, getting stuck at the ticketing validation place, and talking to complete strangers, I always think of things in which I can write about on this blog. Melbourne is a very active place and even in the dead of the night something is happening. The city is always exciting and buzzing. I love the news-stands and the subway.
Yet when I get home and sit down at the computer table, I completely forget :) LOL, I'm sure you must relate.
My laptop is a menace nowadays and it's less than two years old. :(
But that besides the point. The point is that I have manage to sit myself down infront of this dying computer, get out my portable keyboard and start typing so now I'll have to treat you to a flurry of the post on my Australian life.
I caught myself saying "H" the Australian way. I don't how it happened. It just seeped in unexpectedly. I was explaining spelling something to someone. It's so hard not to speak Australian when you're living here.
I feel as if my life is still in New Zealand though. Oh my NZ soul. So who do I support come commonwealth time? oh woe! :(
So what's new? *shrug*
I spent lots of time in the park beside my house. It is splendid. There's this huge field in which I have to myself most of the time. It's a good place to release. You can play the guitar for as long as you want.
I suppose this has no relevance to anybody, but most of the cambodian community that my youth has been exposed to have all resettled here. I have random people coming up to me and asking me whether I remembered them, and my mind boggles. LOL :) It's all very exciting though. My parents have met lots of people of which were in the refugee camp with them. Most of them have come from France, since many refugees fled to France during the Khmer Rouge.
One of her good friends was telling me stories of my mum when she was young which was very interesting. Now I know where I get my love of narrative from. :)
My nephew is coming into the world soon. He's due on the 11th of March. It's my aunty's fifth child. Her second died of a cochlea operation gone wrong.
ALSO! my birthday is in 3 days. How exciting! Oh all my loved ones, except my family, are so far away from me. They are all scattered around the world, mooching some where far away in a different time zone. It's so difficult to communicate but we manage it somehow.
I'm just going to post this and update more interesting details later.
