Swan River Colony

I acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which I worked and live, and recognise their continuing connection to land, water and community. I pay respect to Elder past, present and emerging.

I was lucky to be here for my company's international assignment, which I will work until early next year. When I arrived here, I was surprised with the high security checking in the airport. If compare to Sydney or Melbourne, here is stricter and I think it is good. There was an officer stopped me and asked me for my declaration custom card. Then the officer asked did I bring any 'bakwa'. I was like.... Haha! Currently I am staying in CBD area, which is less than 2km to the office. I can walk to the office and back easily, except for now because it is the winter time. The temperature can reach to the lowest point, which is 6-7 degree Celcius. The office environment is different if compare to the Red Dot. The working desk is bigger, the walking space is bigger, the pantry is bigger, there is a mini fridge which stores the beers. Oh my... There is a monthly event, the 'Friday Forum' where everyone can drink as much they can for 2 hours. I do not think this will happen in the Red Dot office. How fortunate the OZ colleagues here. The workload is not that much, I was lucky to off work on time. I can treat this year as a gap year. To rest well, enjoy the environment alone. Sometimes it is not easy to stay alone, but time flies fast. I will make it through. I cannot wait to explore more here.



I wanna take you somewhere so you know I care
But it's so cold and I don't know where
I brought you daffodils in a pretty string
But they won't flower like they did last spring
And I wanna kiss you, make you feel alright
I'm just so tired to share my nights
I wanna cry and I wanna love
But all my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up
Oh oh 
And if somebody hurts you, I wanna fight
But my hands been broken, one too many times
So I'll use my voice, I'll be so fucking rude
Words they always win, but I know I'll lose
And I'd sing a song, that'd be just ours
But I sang 'em all to another heart
And I wanna cry I wanna learn to love
But all my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up
Oh oh 
Oh, need a love, now, my heart is thinking of
I wanna sing a song, that'd be just ours
But I sang 'em all to another heart
And I wanna cry, I wanna fall in love
But all my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up oh oh
