Lesmurdie Falls - Volunteer @ Curtin - Huggy - Carrot cake

Recently brought huggy to Lesmurdie Falls - 45mins drive from my place.. Nice and serene place.. beautiful waterfall.. took approx 5 mins to go to the top of the fall.. (from the entrance).. 640m to reach the mid-fall.. approx 30mins to climb the way down to the base of the fall.. there's a nice look out at the mid section of the fall.. able to have a magnificient view of the city.. wasted part is that forgotten to tk a short cooling session @ the base of the fall.. as the water was icy cold.. got to do it someday..

Thoughts..

Realised in life, we cant have the best of both world.. Was kind of -.- over some issue.. Due to several factors: 2 F's.. even though part of me want to continue, but the other part was telling me not to.. There are definitely the Good n the Bad memories.. as nothing is perfect in this world.. however, so long u r willing to give it a shot.. all worthwhile.. But.. after some through reconsideration.. I really have no choice but to end it.. as there are too many parties involved.. we can alway say.. who care or consider what other people think or feel.. but.. in reality.. we simply cant.. some things.. the longer you drag.. the more difficult to get it "undone"..

Dislikes when ppl starts telling tales, making up their own theory, tales telling, fanciful imagination, manipulating others, taking other ppl goodness for granted, assuming they have motives in all things that they have done for them.. felt really hurt when I heard this.. but what I can say.. when others have already painted their own pictures (colorful indeed)..

Even worst, superficially they seems to be nice.. but at ur back.. you never know what they might say about you..

Feel really uncomfortable when ppl put up a superficial front with you.. can really feel the pressure, uncomfyness and coldness... makes me wana retreat and stay away.. dont feel a least bits welcoming..

Really dont wana feel so emo.. and upset over this.. but simply cant help it.. Only God knows what I am feeling at this point of time.. and what really happened.. no point kept explaining... when they already have their own mind.. and thoughts..

The only solution, for the best of all.. is to give up what I treasure for the sake of overall wellbeing..

I alway believe, a Good Friendship is hard to come by.. if you ever have it.. learnt to treasure it..

Updating.. Melb trip.. Gingerbread cookies..

Fulfilling but tiring trip, stressful @ times (due to lots of factors). Believe when travel in groups or for any tour, keys factor is to learn to compromise, accomodate, free and easy spirit. If not, its really hard for one to enjoy urself to the fullest.. no matter how fun or exciting the event is.. Learnt better not to travel in trio.. make it easier for all.. as no one will be left out.. hard to include all in @ all times..

Had a enjoyable one day tour with buddy.. nice catching up.. laughing and doing random stuff.. taking FOC tram ride.. black n white pic.. 3 trip after graduation.. discussed that there are more to come.. haa..

Life is pretty mundane, working, resting, baking, learning to play keyboard (although i might be a retard to music - that's what zhen say *evil).. huggy is growing horizonally and vertically, getting bigger, silly, adorable each day..

Animal instinct exist.. before the actual thunderstorm came, huggy was whinning outside, trying to come into the house, not allowed too fury..

Huggy - 1Yrs 2 months old..
