Lol.. I was like what the... Obviously promoting Australia Day which is the 26th of Jan.
A real funny story. I was working and this lady ask me what's going on the 26th. Coz the shops close on that day.
I'm like.. err.. It's Australia Day? Unbelievable. Ur Australian citizen and u don't know when's Australia Day?!? Call urself true Aussie! Even me, a PR Student manage to remember the actual date! lol..
I'm not much Aussie anyway. I dunno the history, I don't even know the number of PM the country has. And forget about the National Anthem, I know none of them except the first line. I don't adopt the Australian culture which is pretty drastic. I don't eat lamb, I never go to the beach and I don't own a BBQ set. I don't even talk Aussie as in Aussie slangs. I mean this is the 21st century, who talks like the oldies any more??? And my favourite colours are not green and gold. lol........
I sound so anti-Aussie. Don't get me wrong, I still like the country, if not I won't be living here right? It's still one of the best, civilized country where fairness and democracy is one of the priorities.
Aussie! Aussie! Aussie! OI!OI!OI!
