From da west

So it's been three days,
No, FOUR DAYS in Perth.
Gee... I lost track of the dates.
Met justin yesterday for breakfast.
Yes, breakfast.
I'm in Perth, P-E-R-T-H, Perth!
The whole city closes at 8pm,
and people wake up at 7am.
He gotta leave the city at 2pm,
and was too shy to have dinner with my family the night before
I don't know since when the no-shy turned so-shy
so breakfast is all we can do to catch up.
Raja, a lecturer, err... a friend now... once told me
"Perth is for the newly weds and the nearly deads"
*laughs*
I must agree.
Me, someone who has BLACK black hair,
and the only time I'll color my hair is to make it Blacker
than the BLACK black I have.
*?!?!?* Okay, I got distracted there...
I was trying to say black hair stands out in Perth.
Everyone here has WHITE or GREY hair!
They are THAT old, and I'm not joking.
And there are less asians here compared to melbourne.

So what have I been doing for the past few days.
Went to shop for fresh fruits and vege.
Went to shop at a real Italian butcher.
Went to church.
Went to do some grocery shopping, and MORE grocery shopping.
But I'm not complaining.
It can be quite fun if you're doing it with people
you just don't mind spending time with.
Like Maggie and my favourite Aunt Amy.

One stormy night,
I'm serious, it was really stormy that night
I was sleeping soundly to the rhythm of the rain
outside the window.
Then, my phone rang.
I stumbled across the room,
into the closet room where my phone is,
It was in my bag since... always
I brought the phone, got out of the room..
looked at the tiny display screen that reads
YUENLING

I whisper, " Hello?"
"Hello, ahsook!"
"Hello?"
"Ey, we're all stoned and drunk now, hold on a sec...
Then, I realised it was actually phil on the other end.
"1,2,3... *group yells* WE MISS YOU!!!"
I was too stoned to react myself.
"Aren't you touched? We all miss you... faster come back!"
"You guys call me in the middle of the night for this?"
"Ngor hou kwa chu lei ah..." translates I' miss you' in broken cantonese
"Got a song for you... you hold on..."
After a moment of silence, I hear guitar strumming...
I can't remember how the song sounds like now,
but I remember it puts a smile on my face at 1 am...
"So how was it?"
"It's okay..." I was actually smiling
"You ungrateful bitch!"
"WTF?"

The conversation was A LOT longer than that,
I'm not gonna elaborate on how I was harassed through
the phone by Han's horny voice...
Getting a call at indecent hours and waking half the house up
is not funny at all,
and they know NO ONE messes with karis's sleep.
But it was pretty sweet of them.
Thanks guys!
I miss y'all too!
Damn, I'm just here for two weeks.
