Just read ollie's and glowie's blogs..suddenly the time to go back to sydney is looming & I can't say that I'm entirely upset at the thought of returning..but I'm just feeling sad at the thought of having to leave home again..

I wonder if there's ever any truth to the things people keep telling me..like "it gets easier to leave as the years go by".. and my mom keeps saying "6 years is a short time in your life" and "by the end of 6 years you won't want to be coming home"..but it's so easy to tell another person these things..whether or not you really believe them is another thing..then again my mom usually isn't the optimistic kind..so I guess for her to say things like that must mean something..

One thing I'll miss alot: babysitting Lucas!Yes although he's cranky and noisy alot of the time I'll miss him. And the sad thing is that he won't even remember me :( I definitely don't remember anything when I was a baby anyway..but I'll always have a picture in my mind of him smiling at me with his little cheeky expression:) I don't really get it..it's not exactly possible to have a conversation with a baby or dog, so why is it so easy to feel attached to them? we usually feel closer to people through lengthy conversations and laughter..but with babies and animals it's different..is it the physical closeness that makes us attached to them? or maybe simply caring for another living being makes us more receptive to love..

anyway some weird happenings in the last couple of days..
1. I nearly got smacked in the face by a fish. I was at the wet market with my mom..waiting patiently for her in front of a couple of fishtanks while she was making some purchases..suddenly there was a huge splash sound and this HUGE fish came sailing out of the tank in front of me, brushed past my shoulder (ugh. Yes I actually felt its slimy scales brushing past me) and smacked into the lift door behind me. Lucky me..it would have smashed right into my face if I had been standing just a couple more centimetres to the right. Think the person in the lift was pretty lucky too..imagine seeing a fish flying towards you but the lift doors closing just in time.
2. We were driving the car into my driveway when my mom suddenly exclaimed, "birdflu!" She had apparantly spotted a falling bird from the sky. But to give her credit there really was a dead bird lying on the driveway when we got out to investigate..ah but I seriously doubt that the cause of death was birdflu. hmm but then what else could have caused a bird to drop dead from the sky? heart attack?

cindy: Haah yeah I enjoyed myself that night too la:)
jing: jing!miss you too:) Haha I had a dream about you the other day.
nad: ONE more day!!! :)
nic: it cost $45!hmm but I think we ate alot more worth than that:) I had more than 3 helpings of sashimi & at least 5 portions of dessert:) and alot alot more!
ruth: happy vday!:) back from amsterdam? hope you had fun:) haha maybe but I'm happy enough already with the buffet now:)
