「 12:05 PM 」


How weird is it when the time shows 12.25pm and 45 minutes later, when you check again, it shows 11.57am. It is damn VEIRD and I feel muddled.

In other not-so-muddling news, I have been reminiscing about Perth every single day.

10 reasons why I miss Perth (in random order):

10. The climate and pure air
9. The beaches
8. The super duper yummy boys from USA who arrive each semester for overseas exchange programmes
7. Shopping. For some reason, every shop is enticing and all apparel/shoes/bags appealing.
6. The city. It is extremely serene yet bustling and has amazing colours
5. Little Creatures. A brewery that serves beer and food. I still crave for the frites and pesto pizzas. And the Little Creatures' Amber ale is.the.best. Makes beer drinking feel like an event.
4. King's Park. It is quaint, green and unpretentious.
3. Perth Bell Tower. Mesmerising, tall structure that never fails to brighten my day with the wide array of colours and captivating design.
2. Fremantle. The busy market that has treats for all ages, ranging from milky honey, sweet buttered corn, face painting, dream catchers, honey comb, antiques, incense, fruity tea, art, classic lamps, fresh fruit & veg, mince pies and various other knick knacks and cosy cafes that serve the most amazing coffee and cakes.
1. Autumn. It is the most perfect season in Perth with fallen leaves, cosy climate and perfect temperature. It is heartwarming, nostalgic and completely calms the senses.


It doesn't help that friends who enjoyed Perth with me, talk about migrating there or are currently pursuing their Masters or contemplating to, or have not even returned home in the last two years.

I am tempted to pack and leave, but there is the dreaded factor of emotional attachment. The attachment to this wretched city, friends and family who refuse to budge from this country.

I could be naive and wrong, not realising the sheer joy of being enveloped in familiar surroundings and comfort.

However, I could also be clinging onto blind faith, failing to seek my true calling or desire.

Let's see what God has in store.....shall we....
