FROM THE EDITOR

ABOUT US

Happy New Year!

I hope our readers all have a wonderful holiday. Some of you may have gone back to work and are still in the holiday mood. Some of you are still enjoying the last few days. Well, kids are going back to school so yay!

Every day I took kids out for some fun, you know, museums, Sealife, Legoland, Zoo, play centres, beaches, parks etc. I did fight for an afternoon nap whenever I can, even on the couch of a play centre.

With a four-year-old and a five-year-old, I have been completely exhausted. Their fun is my routine. But, do I regret?

My husband always says, he wishes the kids are ten or older, so he can have more reasonable fun with them, and argue probably with them. But I never agreed. They are at their best time. We are at our best time. I do not regret spending all the time with them, seeing them laugh, cry, argue, grow and play.

I have had a wonderful break. How about you?

Reptile Encounters Opens its Doors in Burwood!

Reptile Encounters is Melbourne's premier mobile zoo. And we’ve got some big news…

We’ve just opened a brand spanking new HQ in Burwood!

Just in case you haven’t heard of us, we’ve been delivering fun-filled, inspirational and highly educational wildlife programs to schools across Victoria for over a decade now. We also throw legendary kids birthday parties, and can even bring the fun to your house!

Coming with super-friendly and smart wildlife ambassadors, we’re proud to boast a Saltwater croc, a Woma python, a Port Jackson shark and many more in our starstudded cast!

We believe it is absolutely crucial to give people an up close experience with Australian wildlife, especially as society our today has become a little disconnected from nature. Our goal is to inspire our next generation of marine biologists and environmental scientists!

Climate change and pollution are without doubt two of the most dangerous, challenging and complex issues facing our country and our planet today. But if this generation is not connected to the natural world around them, how are they going to be motivated to fix it?

"In the end we will conserve only what we love, we will love only what we understand, and we will understand only what we are taught." Baba Dioum

猪是怎么排上12生肖的？ 猪是靠自己的努力当上了生肖，在天宫排生肖那天，玉帝规定了必须 在某个时辰到达天宫，取首先到达的十二种动物为生肖。猪自知体笨 行走慢，便半夜起床赶去排队当生肖。由于路途遥远，障碍也多，猪 pig拼死拼活才爬到南天门，但排生肖的时辰已过，但猪苦苦央求，其 他六畜也为之求情，最后终于感动了天神，把猪放进南天门，当上了 最后一名生肖。这样，马、牛、羊、鸡、狗、猪“六畜”都成为人间 的生肖。 哪一年出生的人属猪？ 属猪的年份主要有2019、年2007年、1995年、1983年、1971年、 1959年、1947、1935年、1923、1911等。 属猪的人的性格特点？ 生肖属猪的人，一般而言，头脑比较冷静，无论自己遇上多么困难的 问题，总能细心，所以能很恰当地处理事情。能言善辩属相猪，全天 下就没有他们不知道的小道消息，他们的爱好，甚至还包括了挖掘爱 豆的黑历史。在感情里他们同样嗅觉敏锐，翻看伴侣手机、打探伴侣 不想告知自己的私人消息，为的是看见一个更透明更立体的恋人。 属猪人属于朴实无华一类。与人为善，宽厚不争，善于协调人际关 系。事有不谐，则反求诸己，以隐忍之心完善自我。在与人交往时， 会在低调中让人越来越离不开他。诚实而天真，与朋友在财物上不分 你我，乐于助人而不求回报。富于激情，对工作勇气十足，全力以 赴，坚韧不拔，因而能够赢得理想中的权力和地位。缺乏深刻的识 见，往往只能欣赏事物的表面价值，或沉沦于某种诱惑之中。 属猪的人2019年幸运颜色：西瓜红色、紫色；幸运号码：8、15

小编随笔

来墨尔本整整十个年头。在这个地方读书，恋爱，结婚，工作， 定居，生子。现在说起家乡，已经有些模糊。家乡是那个从未住过的乡 村吗？家乡是那个住了九年的镇子吗？家乡是那个住了十年的城市吗？ 家乡是那个求学四年的大都市吗？从来没有忘记这些地方的一点一滴， 午夜梦回，也常常还是那个跟朋友一起打闹的初中生。可是这些地方， 都不可能回去了。回去一两周，这算回去吗？所有记忆的地方，都已经 物是人非，这些年国内发展很大，每个地方都是翻天覆地的变化，不只 高楼大厦，还有乡土人情。如果不是每次回去都有相聚的那几位老友， 我在家乡，是孤独的。朋友说，你怎么都没怎么变？样子，脾气都是十 几年前的样子。我想这是一种赞美。生活没有太多风波，我得以保存初 心。岁月的杀猪刀，尽管还是留下了痕迹，可是眼里的星星还在。 这让我不免想，如果不是生活在墨尔本这个城市，我是不是还能这 么幸运。这个是景好人好的地方，它不只“从前慢”，现在也慢。一家 老店可以开很多年，一辆火车哐当哐当可以开很久，一套房子可以住一 辈子，然后孩子继续在附近繁衍生活。深圳工作的老友来墨尔本，一天 就把市中心走遍，难以置信地问我：“这就是整个维州最繁华的地 方？！”同龄的我们，我晚上十点多午睡的时候，她们说才开始夜生 活。一位老友已经做到高管，她问我：“你每天这么早下班，这么多假 期，都用来干什么呀？”我想了想，真的也没干什么，陪陪孩子，看看 书，抽空旅游一下，跟一些朋友聚会，有时候就是发呆看夕阳，或者去 市中心饕餮一次。朋友说，这真的就是在生活，不只是生存。但末了她 也说，但她过不下去这样的生活。 年轻的我们做了自己的选择，生活成了一种习惯，我们以为自己还 可以四处流浪，但中年一到，却已经习惯在日常中找到熟悉的依赖。我 没有想要变。这样就很好。每次出去旅游，过了一段时间就会想念墨尔 本的蓝天白云，每次回来，车开在熟悉的路上，心里莫名的安全与舒适 感，这便是家吧。墨尔本，还有我爱的人，老公，女儿，儿子。他们是 我对这个城市心安的最重要原因。我们一起走过的每条路，玩过的每个 公园，吃过的每个餐厅，就是我生活的每一个小细节，这些细节真实也 踏实。 此心安处，便是家吧。
