perth

this trip to perth symbolised many things for me. it was my first breath. it was my first dance with independence. it was a time for me to spread my wings on my own, now unsheltered and hungry for opportunities to prove myself, to test myself. it was a time for reflection. throughout the past 3 and a half months in training, i was happy to be in a a batch with some very passionate, fun-loving people who shared the same goals and dreams as i did. we laughed together, we cried together, and we so affectionally named ourselves "forever 21". we've shared countless memories and inside jokes, and now, we've graduated and it is time for us to leave the nest. through these experiences, i learnt to cherish the idea of familiarity in the unfamiliar, of not knowing what to expect, and of the simple joys of friendship. 

 


it was a whopping 37 degrees when we landed in perth. i didn't venture out much on this trip or take many photos, unfortunately. i would like to visit the swan river or fremantle market in the future. perth seemed to be filled with a peaceful lull in the air, in the grass, even in the summer heat. calm and quiet, the city slept before dusk. only the summer bush flies were left, basking in the spotlights of street lamps.
