Poof!~ It seems so fast the time flies. First i was blogging that I was going to pick up my brother and sister at the Melbourne airport and then now i'm blogging about how i sent them off at the airport in the wee hours this morning and how my apartment seems more lonely and quiet now without the two of them around. I know, so sad. I was dreading to come home to a lonely apartment today. For 17 days, the apartment was lively with our noises, the tv and the computer. Now it just seemed too quiet. I look around the sofa and am reminded of how a few hours ago, it was my brother's bed. I look around the room, and in every corner i am reminded of them.

Mom called this afternoon. I think she knows how sentimental i get. I told her I am already missing my siblings and she says that this is life and i have to be tough and get used to it.

Even though, i've been away from home for so long, i still get homesick and no matter what people say or how United States or Australia is a much nicer place to live in, there is no place like home. And for me, it doesn't get easier. In fact, it seems tougher. Hopefully this is a phase that i will grow out and be stronger. But i do miss them so~

On the bright side, we had so much fun. Rented a car for 4 days and took a road trip. Driving (with the help of the GPS- thank god for technology) around victoria was so so much fun. I will post pictures and summaries of the trip soon. This is a picture of the road in Sherbrooke forrest in Mt Dandenong National Park.

p/s: I lost my sandal/slipper. It was my favorite and i was so clumsy and careless to leave it in the rented car and now it cannot be found. arghh~ i'm mad at myself because i love that shoe.
