Gratitude Journal : Loving Melbourne

So i landed in Melbourne on Friday afternoon. Prior to our departure from KL, all we had been hearing of the weather here was how ridiculously hot it was, even at night. As awesome as Awesome goes, however, a great thunderstorm hit on Thursday, and on Friday, it was 21 degrees C!

I love the weather right now. My brothers and i find it a tad bit too chilly, but everyone else just walks around in their dresses and shorts and tube tops enjoying it, because the weather right now is perfect. Can you imagine -- we're already feeling cold when it's 20 degrees, whereas during winter it could drop to as low as 0 degrees!

This is only our third day here, but we have had the amazing fortune to have met a few locals who took us to the city today :) so not only have we made new friends, we also had a few of the funniest tour guides show us around.

The best mindset to put into use is one of a tourist. I constantly find myself amused or intrigued by everything around me, from the random structures i come across in the city, to the street names and the people and performers they carry, to the road signs. I just love looking at each of the buildings and houses here, all so incredibly quaint. Absolute love! We should never let ourselves slide into a blindness that prevents us from seeing the beauty in everything around us.

Always stay fresh, lovely people ♥

P.S : I almost forgot! Happy Chinese New Year, and Happy Valentine's!
