I am missing Melbourne badly! I don't know why, but recently, I've been missing Melbourne. I wasn't born there, but I spent my earliest 5 years there. So, I was exposed to a Westernised culture since the age of 2. Not that there's anything bad with being in Malaysia. It's just that.. I MISS MELBOURNE!!! The clean air, the rubbish free streets, the polite people. Aih.. I wish Malaysians were more like that. I don't know what Melbourne is like nowadays. I left it 17years ago when Mak just had to balik kampong. Like I said, there's nothing wrong with Malaysia except for a few bad habits that Malaysians practice in their everday lives. In Melbourne, I was never a litterbug. Never! It was educated in schools and at home, that littering is so against the rules an norms. But, when I came back to Malaysia, I've picked up the habit of littering from schoolmates. Now, I play my part in keeping the environment clean.  I don't litter anymore. And, I try very hard to educate my nephews and nieces to do the same. Anyway, referring to the main topic, I truly oh so truly do miss Melbourne. These past few days, I've been flipping through my book of memories (haha..my album-lah!), and I've been dreaming of going back to Melbourne. Just for visit would make me happy enough. No, it would make me feel exhilirated! Excited. Overjoyed. I wish. Better start saving up from now. Maybe I could go there for a honeymoon or something..  But, come to think of it. I don't miss Melbourne as much as I miss my childhood IN Melbourne. Yup, I think that's it! I miss my childhood in Melbourne. Owh, how I wish I could go back to visit my kindy.. My primary school at SYPS. The friendly dentist I always went to. TARGET. Errr.. what else? Owh! Fat Cat (M'sia has it's own Fat Cat, which is called ALONG) I never liked ALONG anyway. Copy cats. Huh! And I miss Gumby! Gumby is a green little stick-like creature but he's really flexible. I'll try find a picture of Gumby later and post it here. Heheh.. Talking about all this makes me miss them even more. Woo woo! I better stop before I get all emotional over nothing. Signing off, adlenenelda.
