past few days I've been missing Cape Town ridicilously lot
Just going through the best moments of the 7months in my mind over and over again, the memories just make me smile
Other half of me is super excitied about moving to new zealand and other half of me is still wishing I would be going to SA.*sigh* I just miss those moments of grabbing your board after work and paddling out to the line up on a sunny winter day, catching few waves, sitting there alone,watching the sun to set behind you with Table Mountain on the other side of you and finishing the day off with lovely dinner and glass of wine and an occasional joint with friends and flatmates.
The time in South Africa really teached me to enjoy those little moments that make life so beautiful and that easy going and relaxed vibe and the people there are what I miss the most. Morning coffee in the garden, silly game nights by the fire at my bosses place, sundowners, tuesday pool sessions, surfing, long walks with my bosses dog, late sunday breakfast sessions, friday gandalfd nights with friends, the office desk filled with coffee and tea flasks, the township youngsters we went sailing with, obz book shop, movie nights, learning to make cartwheels, little roadtrips...
I guess I am just afraid that I will compare everything in NZ to cape Tow and my life there and will still miss cape Town. I should not but it might be hard not to. I know it will be pretty much impossible to find a job where my boss phones me in the morning "hey fibi (the name he gave me,comes from Finnish Bitch
) the dungeons big wave competition is on, no work today,we gonna pick you up in 30mins and drive to the beach." then we sit the whole day there, drinking tea from a flask and watching surfing and then my boss wants me to find out where the after party is so that me and my friends could go to check out some surfer dudes If this job would only pay me salary I would go back immediately cant really afford volunteering forever
Before xmas I am planning to organise some kind of fundraising/graduation party and invite my relatives and friends. I said I wont be needing any xmas or any other presents myself but I would love to donate something to the organisation I was working with in South Africa.Im now trying to figure out something to raise money..The organisation is planning to take 5 South African township kids on a sailing trip from Denmark to Poland, via Finland and Sweden as a part of a large tall ship race in July 2007 and they got the places on ships sponsored but they still need money for flights. .I would be so happy to see these kids taking part to the tall ship race, they really deserve it. They are just the sweetest kids even they got no money, no food, no proper homes, often no parents they still keep going, trying and smiling. All of us who complain how sh*t or boring our lives are really should have nothing to complain compared to these kids.
Off to uni now, the new period has started and there are still lots of courses to finish before xmas but I guess I will worked it out. at least there is one course that really interestest me!yay! rest are those compulsory things that you got to do but once they are done Im a happy girl!
