"Kevin or Johnny??" asked my colleague.
Of course she wasn't asking whether Kevin Costner or Johnny Depp is more dashingly handsome.
With the election looming around the corner, this is the hottest topic at the water cooler. Almost everybody has their two cents worth of opinion.
Neither Kevin nor Johnny, i told my colleague, coz i dun have no voting rights. In fact, i have never been around during election in Malaysia. Hence, never had a chance to exercise voting rights even in my own coutry. Proabably i have unknowingly been downgraded to illegal immigrant status by now. Haven't gone back to Malaysia for too long :p
Colleague suggested that i take up Australian citizenship. Now..... that idea is nothing new to me, i did think of it before, but somehow i dun have the peace to let go of what i have. What's there to lose?? Seriously speaking, nothing and no one is in my way. Hmmmm.... probably it is the sentiment of it being the place i was born, the place that i had my past memories.
I am getting more and more aussiefied than ever. I love vegemite, my name resembles a kangaroo, i had fun learning australian slangs, sort of caught on the footy madness, love the parks, love the river, love the beach, love the cafes, love the much more courteous (or should i say civilised) driving manners here, love australian humor (not the crudeness though). I'll even admit that i like Australia better than my own country. Yet, i don't feel that i can embrace Australia and call it my homeland. I am one confused girl sometimes.
To be or not to be?? Hehehe, i'll leave that question to be simmered for another few more years. I've got better fish to fry for now.
