1M in M!
Heyo, LJ!
It has been 1 month and 1 day since I arrived here one cold winter day in Melbourne. So much has happened since then.
Is it just me or I just happen to have all sorts of adventures/misadventures the moment i set foot in Oz? Man, everything and everyone is so brand effin new, i am loving every single of it!!! Despite of me tearing up sometimes. It's all part of it. Uprooting yourself from everything/everyone you've been comfortable with and moving to a brand new foreign place. No matter how much I dreamed of moving to Melb, I just can't help it - I get into emotions of all sorts. And it's okay. I just bask in it, and find myself moving on.
Did I say that ever since I landed in Oz, I felt totally at home? Yes for some strange reason, it really felt like i was Home, finally. It felt like I am finally in a place where I belong - people are friendly, trusting, honest, apologetic and genuine; coffee, surf, wine culture; dog lovers everywhere; healthy lifestyle. Everyone, everything and the mentality is just so much like me!
I have had it with trust issues, with paranoia, toxic comparisons, exclusivity, co-dependence and never-ending drama. Everything here - where I work and live - are the exact opposite!
In my workplace, everyone has practically lived elsewhere before moving to Australia. Everyone practically was a migrant of Oz. Diversity to the Nth level yo! Colleagues from England, Indonesia, HK, South Africa, US, Ukraine, Italy, China, Singapore, Russia, Colombia, etc. Everyone's from a different background and I LOVE how the directors have selected the current employees. No cliques. No exclusivity. Everyone's open-minded, non-judgmental, independent and genuninely friendly. I LOVE it so much that I still find myself marvelling at the diversity at the workplace. I can practially seat anywhere in any day, during any event and talk to anyone without any issues. I love that I am the 10% of the office population - the female population. During lunch today, I was really amused that I'm the only girl in the lunch table. My crush, T, was there hihihi. Plus, everyone in office is beautiful, be it male or female. No kidding. Is it just me or are they hiring the good-looking ones? Ahem ahem. Hahahaha! Seriously, the girls especially are beauifully gorgeous. The guys are good looking. It's either I am just so psyched and still on a high that I see everyone and everything through rose-coloured lenses or there's this selection hiring critieria going on - beautiful, smart, gorgeous and genuinely kind. Seriously. I am still AMAZED.
Everything here in Oz is just sooooo good. Colleague T and I happen to always bump into one another on our way home riding the trains. Agent B (I call him JJ - Joshua Jackson look-alike haha) has been calling me every so often, keeping in touch and all that. Colleague M has been sooo nice to me and asking me out in a friendly kinda way. I made beso with Colleague MT, who was just soooo warm with me and all. Colleague T & MT are my crushes in the workplace. Cute guys from random places at random occasions smiling at me. Matches in Tinder hahaha (does that count?) I am just loving it. The attention. The smiles. The good vibes. I LOVE IT. Thank you, Oz. Thank you, Syd and Melb. THANK YOU, UNIVERSE! Makes me look forward to the coming days. Exciting times. I am loving every single minute of it <3
