Viet-Nam #day4

Day4, was kinda relax. i wake up late.. had nice breakfast friedrice and scrumble eggs for 90.000 dong / $4. then we went to the park.. big park in the central main road. it was so nice... it has stuffs for work out/excercise, long bench and palm/coconut trees.. we also went to BEN THANH Market... it;'s a big market sells everything from clothes, jewerly, food etc. it is similar like Blok M in Jakarta. but the thing impressed me alot was the cobra and scorpion wine. they put the real cobra n animal into a bottle with the wine.. pictures after pictures..


there are some things i noticed from this city: there is red flag with yellow start everywhere, people arent very friendly unlike my people (Indonesia), the sidewalks are bigger than the road itself - it's nice, so we can walk, the steer is like American in the left side, traffic is such a chaos with mopet/motorbikes comes from any directions left and right (so make sure to see both sides if u want to cross the street)...


Another Pho noodle for dinner fo 92.000dong..+ sprong roll at Boston sport bar 80.000dong, delicious.. i think i should stop talking abt how much i spend coz basically things r so cheap here..cheaper that Jakarta.. so dont worry abt $$$:) if you go to local way n eat local food from the treet stall will be so much cheaper..

PS: The price i mention above are for two person (me and Shea), so if u go solo just cut it half:0

i wish i could go back n live in US

You won’t miss cookies if u never have one but once you have one and u like it im sure you want more! Im talking about me liking US. my friends might not miss it coz they have never been there and experience the life but I did and I know how it feels like! I have been to only 3 great countries where people wish to stay and immigrant; Canada, US and Australia. I compare a lot about each and I conclude or in my personal opinion US is my choice. It is not because the super power country, police of the world etc, but I see it from the “quality of life” that this county offers for me or perhaps my kids in the future. The quality of life, there is so much better… im talking about very simple things I need for daily life such us things that makes easy in the kitchen ; wash disher, nice oven, good clean water, cheap groceries, cheap food / eating out, good shopping,   very good transportation system , quick response of 911 or fire fighter, good sanitation, quick services (bank/post office/stor

My Indo (Jambi) Wedding

Jambi Traditional wedding cloth hand painting One of the happiest days of my life… Yes the wedding went perfect like what I expected. Words can’t explain how I felt but I will try my best. Seems like everyone likes Yusuf Kevin (that’s what they called him). I really wish he could speak Bahasa, blame on me!! I was too lazy to teach him my language. On Saturday a day before the wedding, we visited my aunty, she offered Shea a place to stay but we refused, rejection isn’t polite here they expected you to always say Yes all the time. it is more to the culture thingy. We went back to the village… everyone was waiting and excited to see Bule (white/western) to take some pictures. Derek and Shea were like celebrity of the weekend. The kids followed wherever they went. Shea bought about 30 kids ice cream which cost only $5 they were all happy. Bless him. We stayed for a few hours and learn the Indo sentence for the marriage. Shea has to remember bahasa word “Aku terima nikahi

My full time job just required me to come 4x a week, i had Friday off last week and Monday off this week so basically i had long weekend! which is great so i could have some times for my self and write this blog. well i did work on Saturday part time job but just for 3 hours making $26/hours extra $60 to pay my phone bill. I call my family alot lately as i miss them more and more, this month i spent $90 for my Vodafone! I wanted to go to Brisbane as  have never been there but perhaps sometime this month or next month.  i cant stuck like this doing nothing but work -eat and sleep. I always end up feeling exhausted at the end of the day and refuse to do anything but sit in the couch and watch TV or sleep. Yesterday i drove to Neutral bay 20  minutes from Manly to see my work mate Maureen, i also met her guy housemate and we had lunch. It was nice. Hose is her housemate is from Mexico and his bf ( i forgot the name) is from Scotland. Everywhere you go in Australia, most of those
