:: i love melbourne (?)

as i'm currently in my final study, some favourite questions people really keen to ask me are something like this, "so, are you going back for good?" or "what's your plan after your degree is finished?".

but surprising statements (not a question) came out from couple of my friends i'd talked to days ago. they asked me at first, but when i was about to reply, to my surpise, they spontaneously said, "ahh...i know you'll stay here. you like it to live here in melbourne, right? " or "i can't see yourself leaving melbourne for good" and "you seem to enjoy living in this city very much, don't you?"

fyi, these friends i had a brief conversation with are not my very close friends. i mean, i do talk with them more than once, but never really talk about what i feel or what i think. you know what i mean... and these two people also happen not knowing each other and the conversations were not at the same time too, so i was really curious how on earth they could say such a thing, came to such a conclusion and dubbed me as a loyal melbournian...

i wonder how these people could end up wild guessing about me because i really never said it out. as long as i can recall, i've never worn a t-shirt with I LOVE MELBOURNE plastered on it, or use a kangaroo keyring for my apartment keys. or even boomerang for room decoration. not even drink from a cute koala mug. i don't even have any single of them.

"how could you tell, my dear fellas...i wonder???"
