It hit me so hard, right in the face.
I’m going to leave Perth, for good, in November.
The only times I’ll come back are as a tourist, not a ‘resident for tax purposes’, which has a nice ring to it in a way, even if it’s not really like being an actual resident.
But. I live here. I work here. I socialise here. I walk out of the house in the morning, when the sky is a clear, gorgeous blue, the air crisp, a slight chill, with the beautiful sunshine keeping me warm, and I think…
“What a beautiful day. I am going to miss this so much.”
There are so many beautiful days in Perth, it’s unbelieveable.
When I take the bus to the city and it goes past the Canning River, it almost makes me cry seeing all the black swans and pelicans just chilling on the water. PELICANS!! Seeing the people cycling and running along the river, makes me feel so sad that it’s not going to be a regular part of my life, like it is in theirs.
Sometimes, the day is just so gorgeous and the river is just so beautiful, it makes you want to cry.

I so love reading this blog of yours,Naya.Like I said,’Jauh perjalanan,luas permandangan’.Living abroad made me appreciate the simple things in life and made me more spiritual.I’ve definitely mellowed,but I’d much prefer the term ‘wisen up’.That’s what the whole Naya-in-Australia is.
Now,I can’t wait for Naya-in-Germany or Naya-in-Korea etc.But regardless where Naya decides to go in life,Naya did good.
Wow.Try reading this out loud and people will think you’re nuts by referring to yourself in a third-person mode.Epic gagal!Hahahaha.
