April 13, i just came back from Easter Camp yesterday! woah! it was fun man! even though loads of assignments piled up, i'm glad that i made the choice to go for the camp last weekend. No regrets!!!
yeh! it was absolutely fun, enjoyable and memorable! i've gota practice my cantonese throughout this camp...haha! many of them are from HK and it was just interesting how i tried to communicate with them in my inadequate and limited cantonese vocabulary! oh yeah~ i met my good buddy again, YS! it was another time when i gota catch up with him. as usual, he disturbed me during the camp...he pulled my hair!!!! *complaint, keke* gota talk to him quite abit this camp, especially on sunday. there was once when everyone were having their turns in playing archery, i had jo-jo (a 5-years old little boy) on my lap. while i carried jo-jo in my arms, YS came over and asked me: "when will you have your own baby??" haha, well, hmm~ sorta grinned and told him, i seriously won't mind playing with kids...especially when they are cute and cuddly! (jo-jo is so cute! just can't resist not carrying him and playing with that little boy! he's a very cheeky fellow, who plants kisses on your cheek when u are unaware of it! hehe...so cute!) but guess taking care of kids is a totally different story altogether. then he told me something that striked me quite a bit, "well~ i guess if it's your own, it will be different"! yeah, guess i won't mind taking care of my own kids, when i have them!! =) *grin*
not only was i able to meet new people and make more friends, it was a great weekend in Nature! i gota go for hiking and also cruise to an island with a nice beach! the sand on that beach was so soft that i just simply took off my sandles! i left my footprints in the sand and they were washed away by the shoreline waves. my girlfriends and i started having fun in the waters...all of us locked our arms in a single file as we marched towards the oncoming wave tide. it was too late for us to run when the final huge wave came and we were buried under it! we got ourselves all wet from head to toe!~ simply embarassing but fun tho'! it's been a long while since i let my hair down and really enjoyed myself.
oh yar, i had a chance to go for star gazing that night.....the sky was absolutely marvelloussss!! it was a cloudless night with dozens of twinkling stars hanging in the absolute dark sky! tell you something!!! i caught the Milky Way!!!!!! WOHHHH~ my dream was finally fulfilled that night!!!!! i had always wanted to catch it and i caught this rare opportunity! the stars in the sky just looked like milk pouring out from a milkjar....it's just beyond description..!!!!!! it was however too cold that night and so, i didn't stay out there in the open to catch shooting stars...many of those guys brought their sleeping bags along and hugged close to one another as they counted their shooting stars one by one!!!! the silent night burst out with screams of cheers whenever a shooting star flew across the sky! what a good experience eh? yeah, this is ever the first camp i took so many pictures with so many people in so many different digital cams! hey! i shall send some to you guys if you are interested in seeing them! i feel that this camp has been really great! even on our way back from Lakewood Park, i gota catch the beautiful sunset with a rainbow! simply Beeeeeauuuuuutiful!
after spending a weekend over here in the wilderness, i just feel that Australia isn't that bad afterall! the 'moo-moo cow' lifestyle--this rural life is something that i've been searching for. now, if you were to ask me once more, i'd tell you that i won't mind staying here in melbourne! life is good over here! 4 seasons, nice Nature, good friends and a lifestyle in which i have grown to love! i'm beginning to feel that the city life back home is too hectic....too tiring and too noisy for me....if i had a chance to settle down in one place, that would be australia. i want my house to be built on a hill overlooking the sea.....with a nice beach and a cruise......whoa~
dream dream dream.....=) what would be really good is my loved ones are with me in that dream too.....that will be really really
Puuuur-Fect!!!
