Let's get real...

Ok, after talking about something 'surreal', I think it's time to get back to my 'real' daily life. As you all know, I'm in Darwin now. Initially I just planned to stay here for a few days and then I'll jump to the East Coast. But then a thought came to me: "Why not stay here for a while?" (So, you see, I'm always changing my mind...) When my mom asked me how well do I adapt to the life here, I said I just feel like home (!!!) as it really resembles Indonesia (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). Haha...

Anyway, this was how I decided to stay here. And the sunset here in Mindil Beach is very very impressive. I even made a video of that and I knew the sun sinks within 3 minutes! :)



What's more? I'm back to the labour force now! I'm working in a resort at Cullen Bay and it's such a beautiful place. You can sit there forever (not in the office of course) and would be reluctant to leave...And what I do at work is to do everything related to reservations and at the reception desk. Incredible isnt it? If you know me well, you'll know this is not the type of job for me. ;p Let's see how it goes later on...

Surrealism

I can't believe that this is actually my first (and probably, last) entry in May! Well, I have done quite a bit of travelling over the past month. Now I'm in Darwin, which is a very tropical city up in the Northern Territory. Everything is so exotic here. I almost forget that I am STILL in Australia!


Last night we saw some backpackers who were partying till late. Clemens said it's backpacking life and it's not real life. I think I know what he means and that made me ponder upon my life here a little bit.



Sometimes I find it a bit surreal to live in Australia where it seems to be worry-free and pressure-free all the time. Perhaps it's just because I view myself as a traveller and that's why I never need to take it so serious. It's a bit indescribable but I feel a bit like d-r-e-a-m-i-n-g! :p I feel very much isolated from the rest of the world. Everything happening during this period is far too unreal to be understood. Well, maybe it was already an absurd idea to quit a stable job and come here in the first place.

No worries, for sure things will become bloody real again once I get back to Hong Kong...
