After a month of long wait, my dear flatmate Claire-Marie and Samir are finally back! But this time, they are leaving for real. They will be heading back to France. :( I am really excited to see them again yesterday but at the same time had to send them off this morning. It's such a short period of time. I really misses them a lot. I guess they will be my best flatmates. I was really fortunate to meet them. Life is full of gifts and surprises and they are the gift that was presented to me at this stage of my life. I send a farewell sms to Claire-Marie before they board the plane and she told me that I am important to her. I was really touched by her simple words and it meant so much to me. Tears always well up when I read that message. They really brighten up my life here in Australia. I will cherish our friendship and we've got to keep in touch. Hope to meet them again at some corner of the world. I'm really grateful for what I have in this life. Goodbye my dear Claire-Marie and Samir but that's definitely not the end of our friendship.

"I love u, u love me we are HAPPY FAMILY!"
Here's some of the works I've done in this semester. Somehow I don't really feel very proud of them. Maybe some alright but some I totally dislike and feel that I didn't put in enough effort. Maybe what Yihao said was right. Anyway I have try to move out of my comfort zone doing realistic painting and try different styles of painting. Really hope that I can really discover a style that I like.
