a new moth, a new city: Sydney

a sigh of relief and a "whoo hoo" of excitement as i arrived at my apartment, it's been a rough ride to get here - even the flight was bumpy.

as i walked to discover the timing of my route to the office, the unfamiliar faces remind me that there are many new people to meet and new streets to discover, also that there will be no one calling out "hey binni" as i walk past my favourite local places. yet.

by now, a little of, the excitement has worn off and i am appreciating this luxury - 9th floor, spacious 2 bedroom apartment, sparking pools and manicured courtyards just a stones' throw, lines of shiny, clean cars and dozens upon dozens of windows into apartments and other peoples lives. nice, but no thanks.

brilliant. i'm back in my favourite state of uncertainty - i am staying here tonight and tomorrow night, tomorrow, and for the next 9 months, i will be working here in sydney, next sunday i will fly back to albury for 2 nights, and for christmas i will be in cambodia. but, i don't know where i will stay on wednesday, thursday, friday or saturday nights this week. i don't know where or who i will be spending saturday night, or where i will shop, eat drink, laugh or cry!!! will i be lonely? maybe.

but it is a new adventure, salvation for my sobbing soul. open and wide, deep and blue as the ocean
