QUIET
I've been back from my holiday in Melbourne & Tasmania for about 2 weeks now and I'm really missing those places. So I've decided to list down 10 favourite moments/things I miss.
In no specific order,
01. The scenery. Mountains, valleys, snow, the seeming change from one season to another.
02. The feeling of being at least 2 km away from the next human being, with the exception of family.
03. The 5 seconds of complete silence I had while travelling up to Mount Wellington. I had to stop talking before I realised how quiet it was. IT WAS AMAZING till the next person started to talk. I really wished I could have just sat there appreciating that moment, but we had to rush off before it got dark.
04. Really getting up close to the wild animals, this excludes all the roadkill we drove passed (Thank God we didn't kill any). We could just hop off our car and see wild koalas eating or napping. At our stay in a cabin at Cradle Mountain, we had wallaby's, quollas & a huge ass crow just at our backyard seeking food and shelter from the snow. There were also kangeroo's at the sanctuary, wild rabbits, love birds & parakeets. Strangest sight seeing these supposed pets wild. OH, we also had a 3 hr eco-tour cruise on this crazy fast boat and managed to get close to seals and penguins!
05. SNOW! We weren't expecting to see any so it was the best surprise we got at Tasmania. The snow was about 6 inches thick by morning and we got our chance to make a proper snowman. (we had an attempt in 1996 but it was really dirty and pathetic). Did you know making snowman is actually really tough work?! From being a frozen ball myself, I was all warm and pumped when we finished.
06. FARM DOGS! I met 3 of them at separate places. Their coats were so full and lush, and they were just the most gorgeous and friendliest dogs. <3
07. Visiting cheese farms, honey farms, berry farms, salmon farms & vineyards. Sadly it was the wrong season for almost everything, but we still managed to get really amazing fresh food from the farms. Berries, milk, strawberries, avocados... FOOD-GASM!. Whenever I go to the supermarket now I feel so ehh~ cause the produce aren't really that fresh and are full of bruises ):
08 This it gonna sound a little strange for a moment, but I truly truly miss eating Freddo's. That's cause they have completely jazzed them up there! There's the 100's & 1000's Freddo, Peppermint Lillypad Freddo & POPPING CANDY Freddo! GAHH~
09. R A I N B O W ! We saw 1 almost everyday! Full Rainbows. Double rainbows even!
10. How could I not mention the cold weather. Throughout the 2 weeks, the temperature ranged from -1 to 16 degrees celcius. At first it felt really insane, but by the last day I was walking around in just a hoodie at 10 degrees. (Singapore is really hot and humid. ughh.)
Okay, now back to finishing my CV.
