Day 1




The first thing people ask..... 
What will you eat!?

The first thing I thought...
What will I eat!?


Today I can honestly say I have enjoyed my food.

A lot simpler but also quicker, here is the run down:

Breakfast: Peanut butter and cold porridge 
Snack: Scrambled egg sandwich 
Lunch: Beef and shiitake congee and half an apple
Dinner: Mixed vegetable fried rice
Desert: Frozen banana and peanut butter for desert

And tea.  Cannot forget the tea.. the Chinese in me loves a congee, but the Brit in me cannot live without the tea. I am however limited with just one box of teabags and one litre of milk. I never thought I'd see the day where I had to count my teabags and measure how much milk went into my tea. 30ml incase you are wondering. 2 TBS. A dash. JUST enough. 

That's all for today - more tomorrow on my refugee journey!!

Day 5

$10,414!!! Can't believe I have hit the 10k mark. Thank you so much everyone. The school week has come to an end and I'm looking forward to my next milestone of this challenge - the weekend. I had a feeling I was never going to make it through the week without having to walk in the rain - so close but not quite.

Feet soaked, stomach grumbling, ankles aching, I quickly talked myself out of the Friday Fitness session I was originally heading into work early for.  I've been indecisive the entire week as to whether I should even have the opportunity to do it this week - an air-conditioned sports hall isn't exactly a common feature of refugee type living. I opted out. I am tired and today I feel like the hAngriness has really kicked in. One of today's highlights for the kids (and woul...

Day 6

Weekends are always over too quickly.  One good thing about having next to no money? Time goes very slowly... your weekend feels longer!! Up at 6:15am I thought about how to fill my day.  After some life admin, the rain had stopped and the cabin fever was already building by 9am, I went for a run and my parents came over shortly after.  Budget bread for me,  mum's home made bread for everyone else. Much of the morning was spent reading and sharing the SCMP article that was published about what I have been doing this week (link here ).  As expected, there are a few comments from some sad readers who obviously have no better purpose in life than to pick apart the good people are trying to do and criticise.  It makes my blood boil that people can be so ignorant and cold hearted, but in comparison to the positivity I have received, it's nothing. My biggest issue is that these pessimistic readers have completely missed the point of what I am doing.  ...
