This was taken back in Oct 05 – on a Sunday afternoon somewhere in South Melbourne. After church, we took a train to the city and from Flinders Station, took a tram there. Typical beach activities – people fishing on the pier, joggers, lots of people walking their dogs, roller-blading and families just taking walks together. I think it was around 3pm. If this was KL, we’d probably be in some shopping complex somewhere, just walking around and window shopping. Either that or a snooze at home after catching repeats of EPL games. Life in Melbourne would be truly great only is there were more relos around. I think this is what we miss the most. Kiddo loves to be with her cousins, especially the northern one (Penang la). We are more or less alone here in Melbourne. Sure, there are other relos around – Theresa’s uncles and auntie, some old friends, etc. I dont know though if they have their own activities on weekends and if our dropping in for hours on end would be a problem with them. Actually even in Klang we hardly drop in relos’ place except for dinner on Sunday nights with Theresa’s parents. I guess it is just a question of getting used to a different set of weekend activities. Again, I am reminded of my mother’s frequent quipping of “kuan si teoh ho” (just get used to it and it’d be fine). Given a choice, which would you get used to – walking along the beach with fresh air and great relaxing outdoor atmosphere or strolling in a shopping complex amidst crowds of shoppers? I guess it is a question of tastes but in my case – either would do, as along as there are family and friends there with me. Actually I am partial to this outdoor version…
