The break that I've been longing has almost come to an end. Didn't go any places though, but somewhat I'm quite happy about it, as the time I spend at home getting to know about my interesting housemates from many different yet exciting walks of life. It's quite an experience, I think it's merely because our topics are not all general, but somewhat personal which really brought the gap closer!
Just the other day, I've met 2 of my housemate' nieces, whom came to Adelaide for a 2 week vacation. It was at night when I was in the kitchen preparing dinner, the closed door besides me opened and came to sight of 2 unfamiliar faces! I thought they are new tenants of the place and that's how the conversation begin. First, came the name, the happenings, and we eventually move on our discussion to our family roots. This is the point where it really amaze me, when I learned that they are actually half Chinese! As he conversation goes on and on, we eventually strikes a topics on our Chinese names as well.
I've learned something about Thailand! Is that they have their long school breaks on March - May, approx of 3 months! That explains much regarding the students with uniforms walking on the streets while we're having a holiday in Bangkok last year.
The best moment of that night was when I offered them fruits after dinner. Apparently they unheard of honeydew! It is my childhood fav' fruits in the whole wide world, and they took the courage and take a bite of a piece of fruit that they unheard of. They first response after taking a taste of it was a rather sweet response. They even considering of making this newly acknowledged honeydew as their fav' fruit. With a smile of my face, bearing to laughter, my thoughts told me, generous gesture often followed by positive results, like how sweet things always put a smile on kid's faces.
It's a fine day to end with. =)
