Old liao...!

I was asked by my colleague yesterday morning “If given you the choice, would you go back to Australia again?”
My immediate answer was “YES!”

I love Australia and I miss Australia.
Of course, I do know that it’s the people that I spent my time there with that make the country all so much more perfect.

Yet, there’s just this something about Australia that I love a lot.
It’s more than just the memories that I have with friend there.
I can spend my time there alone walking along the parks or rivers or hide in my secret place, swinging myself away, and driving along the expressways.
Perhaps, it’s THE air that I breathe there…?
Perhaps, it’s THE freedom of space that I have there…?
Perhaps, perhaps perhaps…

After a while after the question my colleague asked, I ask myself – In all reality, would my answer really be that immediate?
Hmm… It will really be an honest “No”.
There are more commitments now.
Gone are those younger days where there’s more freedom of choices – NUS, NTU or overseas?

Then again, my colleague asked me “Hey… Is there anyone ‘chasing’ you?”
I nearly flipped!
That’s the term used when I was in Poly days!!!
It’s been ages that I even hear the word “chase” near my vicinity of vocabulary.

And again, I was thinking, gone are those younger days.

Now, older and more mature, will tend to take a sit back and THINK first.
Think far, think carefully.

Yes… Old liao!
