this was actually another one of my adventures in australia, last summer. i remember my 5 year old little sister absolutely awestruck by the gorgeous white horse attached to the cart, and by the cute little fairy lights strung around the cart it self. i also remember being amazed by how the man just drove the cart we were in right into traffic. i remember waving at the pedestrians on either side of the streets, how the horse stank so much i had to cover my nose with the sleeve of my sweater, and looking up to see how nice the starry sky was in australia, compared to the smoky, pitch black skies we get in jakarta. i remember how friendly and chatty the man driving our cart was, and how my dad had awkwardly tried to reply with his asian accent and limited vocabulary. it was great.

I’ve always had pets, like the dozens of koi fish in the pond of my garden, or the cute little goldfish in the tank on my porch. When I was about four years old, I remember having two tiny little turtles as pets. One for me, and one for my little sister. I’d named it something stupid, a color, I think. Which was silly because turtles are green, not whatever I named it. I also had two incredibly fluffy, white rabbits. Again, one for me, and one for my sister. It was practically impossible for us to share. One of the rabbits was a fat, lazy bunny, while the other was small and energetic. I cant remember which one was mine, but I do remember that a stray cat had snuck in through my front gate and ate one of the rabbits (I didnt actually see this happen, of course, but I believe it nontheless). The other rabbit apparently ran away. A few years after that, maybe when I was eight, I purchased a box of brightly dyed chicks. I was young, and didnt realize how stupid it was to buy a bunch of baby chicken off of a street vendor, but the colors had hypnotized me and I wanted them. Of course, my mom freaked out when I got to the car. The chicks were then given away to who knows where. The first time I had a cat as a pet was when a few kittens were left under the rambutan tree in my backyard. My mother and I rescued these poor kittens, and I even fed them milk. The next day, they were taken to an animal shelter, to be cared for properly. Then, when I was around 11, I begged and begged for a cat. I was finally given the cutest, black and white persian kitten I had ever seen in my entire life. I named him Max and absolutely loved him. To be honest, though, I did struggle in taking proper care in Maxy. I simply left everything to be done by the maids. When we left for vacation that summer, Max was given away to a dear friend of my mom’s, and he’s been with them ever since. I now realize that I wasn’t ready for a pet, and that I shouldnt have asked for Max in the first place. I know that Max wont be the last pet I have, and I look forward to someday having a dog.

i’m proud to say that i actually have been to the sydney opera house. although it was only last summer, i cant remember why i was even there, or what performance i had seen. what i do remember, though, was having a blast in australia. i loved it and i really hope to come back there someday.
