{ My footprints } Home and Away

Image taken and edited by me

Haven't updated this little place for a while, since I visited my hometown for 3 weeks right after Easter holidays. The reason(or excuse) that I couldn't update much is I traveled among different suburbs and cities a lot and it's not very easy to carry my camera around. This experience also made me realise that I really need to fire my four years old Blackberry to achieve better phone camera quality!! So far people still can't believe that I don't have Instagram or Lime. Oh well, it's really hard to get rid of something easily just because it's old especially it still has lots of memories with it. I guess I cherish my past strongly but on the other hand, I also enjoy the excitements of moving forward. Just like every time I went back home spending time with family and friends, all kinds of new and old emotions bubbled up strongly like the high tide and I couldn't help feeling vulnerable. I miss my home as soon as I was in the plane but I know I am ready to embrace the different sky.

I have a very nice family and close friends back home and apart from them is never easy. What I want to say is it's hard to stay at the same place forever but also very hard to leave to the different places all the time. I think I am like a sailor. I love feeling the solitude and freedom when I drift but also afraid of not knowing where to land. I love feeling the earth supporting me firmly and knowing that I will never sink. It's a massive contradiction and I believe no one has the answer. So I find myself a solution: if I drift then I will try my best to swim with joy, if I land then I will make sure I can run with jump up kicks.

Anyways, as usual I will share with you some photos I took when I was away and I apologise there are not enough photos of my lovely home town!!!!

{ My Footprints } A hint of Blue Mountain....

Hello every one! Did you all have a good weekend ? We went bush walking in the Scenic World in Blue Mountains with Andrew's family last weekend and it was absolutely a great experience spending time with family and the nature. Seasons have started revealing their exchanges, so if you have any free time in your hands then go outside and do something fun with it!


Below are the pictures I took on the streets in Leura and Scenic World, Katoomba. I wish that my photography skills can improve soon so that I can present more true beauties to all of you! Any who, life is all about learning, I just need to pace up!!
