When I first came to Melbourne, I was pretty scared. One question that was constantly running through my head was " What if they aren't friendly? " That however, was not the case when I met them. They greeted me with warm hugs and kept smiling through out. They were extremely friendly and hospitable. They treat me very well and never once have I ever felt uncomfortable living in their home.
After 4 days of living with my host family, I have learnt that they are an extremely loving and fun family. They really do treasure time they have with each other from watching "Eurovision" and "Desperate Housewives" to going out shopping and having meals together. When they meet their friends and relatives, they greet each other with big hugs and pecks on the cheek. Another thing I also realised was that my host, Adrienne always makes it a point to hug her parents and tell them that she loves them. Her parents do the same too and never fail to give her goodnight hugs and kisses. These few actions came across to me as very sweet and rare as you do not see that happening very often in Singapore homes. And when I go back to Singapore, I hope to do the same for my parents, from hugging them to telling them that I love them. The most important thing that I learnt from this trip was that I ought to show more love and affection towards my parents and I honestly hope to do so when I go back. :)
