Exploration (25th of June)

After all these years, my adventurousness is still growing days by days. Today, I explored some places alone. Though it wasn't really my first time to go MCA, the novelty of seeing some artworks display in there, are still surprise me quite a bit. My role today was to be a tourist that having my smartphone for lots of photoshooting. How can you not cherish every moment you spend the rest of your time here in this beautiful country. It'll only be a waste if you don't bother to go anywhere else.

The best part I like about exploration is that I can manage my time wisely. After clearly knowing what my goals are, nothing'll be missed. During my trip to MCA, I had my newspaper with me. There was this piece of news captured my attention. That was one of the most laughable thing that made my day. So it was about some satirical cardboard figures, to depict Putin, Obama, Angela and Spanish PM mmariano, and another PM that I don't know. These figures were pure naked, and the sexualised gestures between their hands holding, which suggestively represents the political stance of how others negatively see them...

Anyways, MCA was my first destination where I found myself indulging in sort of illusion walking through the maze they built. And the artworks conceptually illuminates the fact that 'art', is an experience of multi dimensional viewing, which they often offer unpredictability in depth. People say life can be replaced by art because that the taste of life can only be deepened by experiencing once, but recalling parts of periods for more than once. Guess no words could fully be made explicit than the literal meaning of real experience. But museum is one of those places that leads me to another space, an unreachable one.

However, I should still have done some preparation before exploring some strange places. I thought Cockatoo Island would be somewhere I expect more than it actually looks like. But I was wrong. Really wrong. And I didn't drop off from there when ferry arrived there. Instead, I dropped off from the next stop-Huntley Point. I enjoyed the view around as always, though it was a bad idea to go there alone as I wouldn't dare to go a bit further. I only found a kindergarten and a huge park nearby. I walked along the park, and found nothing more than that, but a main street with cars passing through. Not to mention how cold it was on the ferry before, but I still insisted to sit at the front despite the coldness.

After I was safely back to where I was from, soon I decided to go back to Darling harbour. I found that Thai restaurant to have my own meal, and enjoying the last a few hours before I headed home. The salad I ordered wasn't worth the price. But the composition of that vodka drink made it up for my bill. The only thing I remember was the drink mixed with 10+ ingredients.

I really have that potential to be a forever tourist. I seriously do. When I think about how fob, this word really means to me. Sometimes it could be an advantage to have this incentive to explore more unknowns. And I am super lucky on the other hand, at least I still have heaps of chance to live my life. Unlike the video I've watched this afternoon, is centred on the issue of minor prostitution that has been happening in Brazil, is continuously growing due to overly poverty and domestic abuse. The fact that everyone has their stories behind, is undeniable. Nobody can measure or compare how much pain each one of us has endured from some of our past. Life doesn't leave choices or equally provides choices, so with that being said, I'm equally happy. The happy one that joyfully has this freedom, to do what she likes...
