Back in Swan City
Holla from the Foochow town! :D
Just landed a couple of hours ago, and I already had my fix of the infamous kampua noodles. *Slurps*
As happy as I am to be back in the embrace of my family, I'm missing Bee terribly. It's SO hard to be away from the boy again after being around him everyday for the past 8 months. I don't even wanna start thinking about how I'm gonna leave and go back to Melbourne all by myself. *Sighs*
On the brighter side, it might be a good thing for my (already) dwindling bank account to have a much needed break from the never-ending crazy sales in KL. I've been shopping so much for the past few weeks that it's really not funny anymore.
I did a rough mental calculation the other day. I'm gonna have to pay back a hefty AU$15-20k to Australian government when I finally get around to doing my tax return for year 2007/2008. And that's on top of the tax that's already been automatically deducted from my wages each pay cycle!
I'm feeling like a pauper already. *Double sighs*
If there's one thing that I seriously loathe about living in Oz, it's gotta be their evil blood-sucking tax system! We often feel like we're being punished for working hard and earning more. :(
Okie dokes, that's enough ranting for one day. Let's leave the rest till I go back to Melbourne and face thedragon accountant.
For now, I'm just gonna put my legs up and enjoy being a spoilt brat at home.
Toodles!
