This Sunday I woke up early at eight. No catholic church anymore please. Alida is Erica's host mother. She used to live in Holland but moved to Australia and remarried with Peter. Last weekend they have already invited us to a picnic in Evans Head. And today they kindly took us to the market near the shopping centre. That was like the flea market in Hong Kong. Temporary little stores were set up. Quite a large proportion of those sell second-handed merchandise. I didn't know that at first LOL. I bought a short skirt for AUD$1. =-=" And I think that was new originally. The seller said it was a designer brand. I just fell for its price and style. Later then I caught a bracelet. That was also very cheap, AUD $0.5. I wanted to chase for souvenirs but new things there were not all of value. Maybe later when I go to Gold Coast and Sydney I will spot some really Australian specialty.
We drove back to Alida's house to have lunch. She cooked us Chinese shrimp noodles with corn soup and chicken. A recipe which mixes Western and Chinese ways of cooking although it is not as yummy as my grandma's cooking. She introduced a really convenient pie-like cake recipe and we three did that together. It is called "impossible cake" because there should be zero possibility that we will fail to make it.
We watched a movie called "Australia" in the afternoon. That was a great story featuring love among crossed nationalities and aboriginal children. Blacks were called boongs and aboriginal (mix-blooded) children creamy in the past. The stolen generation was being prejudiced at that time. The storyline starts with Nicole Kidman needs help from drover (Hugh Jackman) to run the cattle to sell. On the way they faced difficulties together and fell in love with each other. They were once separated but gave a harmonious ending. It didn't give me much reflection on race differences and the special power of Australia though. To be true, I saw a lot of magnificent scene in China and Hong Kong. I have gone through a lot of adventures and natural view. Therefore, I am not particularly fond of Australia. I would think life is Australia is peaceful if you got your beloved one living with yourself, and both willing to stay away from the crowd. If you want to have leisure activity all the time, Australia would also be a good choice because beaches are everywhere. And time would be used up for travelling…
We went out for a short walk but were Extremely Fortunate as we didn't miss the kangaroo. That's a baby kangaroo who just left her mother's pouch I think. LUCKY
Dinner's courses. Lagsane with spinach cheese and I don't know what inside. Garlic bread probably I can easily make this in HK. And salad that Australian cannot live without. We had desserts taking away *_* Very FULL. I was filled.
I watched "the mentalist" and a good episode. I sit in the living room for more than one hour. After I finished, I can hear that piece of shxt is talking about me. I know that's too easy for her to scold me for no specific reasons. But I promised myself my happiness is no longer attached to anyone in Australia now.
