Worcester #the tours


We left the beach house on Sunday afternoon about an hour ride to Worcester, Shea told me the city is bigger than Brisbane, I havent been there yet… Hockey Game 6 started at 8pm. we went to Banner… I wanted to have chicken wings, 10 cent chick wings after 6 o’clock… we ate tons of it.. so good n so cheap… we went to the bar at 3ish..i had a walk around the corner but nothing much to see so I went back to the bar, i couldn’t wait 5 hours for the game so I decided to go back home with Mrs. Shea. She asked me if I like ice cream., hell yes who doesn’t like ice creamJ , she took me to this store near the condo… so many variety of ice creams.. She suggested to try "banana split" i was like "sure, I’ll try everything"… we do have banana split back home but compare this one… holy cow!!! It was giant banana split.. I was shocked to see it..so big!! With three flavors; chocolate, vanilla and strawberry ice cream and peanuts on top so good. It was a great treatJ
Anyway I watched the game at home, Bruins made 4 scores 3rd period I fell a asleep and woke up when Shea came back.. he was so happy n kept saying bruins even while he was sleeping he said bruins n smiling.. crazy!. I woke up the next morning freezing asked him to "turn off the aircon"! But then when I looked around I realized I was not at home…im in New England…the plan was visiting his 95 years old aunt… we went to pick her up at 12ish… she lived in this small house not far from the condo by herself.. when we got there she hugged Shea and cried… she just lost her beloved husband-Shea’s uncle… we had lunch at Piccadily, I had steak and mash potatoes it was delicious… I think I have got my appetite back… we went to cemetery to see uncle’s bill graveyard… it was huge , neat and green cemetery…
Aunt Anna told Shea the way.. wow she is very good at direction and knows everywhere around… she has sharp memories n good eyes… I was amazed when she read all the road sign… even me having difficulties reading it.. she guided left n right n where to turn and where to go…in fact she is still driving her car and do groceries… wahh God bless her… I had so many questions to ask but I didn’t dare to ask coz Shea said she’s very determined person. Her way or high way!!!.. but it was very nice of her to lend me her pink sweater.. she seems very mellow and nice lady…she showed me her old church and house and explained things, I felt like I had short city tour… we ended up in groceries store where she bough 3 packs of Raisin bread for us. Oh she was very nice. We went back to her house around 3ish. She looked happy and gave us a big hug and smile… we continued with a short tour of Worcester… I saw some old read buildings, churches, schools, etc the government tries to make the city look nicer by doing some constructions in some old buildings. it was dark cloudy day so I didn’t take many pictures…
I had another short tour around city this morning… Mrs Shea didn’t ride her car so we could use it, she is very nice. Shea took me to Holy cross University and showed me slums area / ghetto where those poor people live… it seems pretty alright from outside… red building and moms were hanging out with the kids. next he took me to the Quinsigamond lake. It was nice and sunny day… I sat there for a while looking at the lake view.. it was beautiful. I felt like I was looking at a painting… green trees, clear blue sky and blue lake…just like a post card…

Ps: when we had our morning walk, 2 police officers came n asked me if I knew any Asian girl.. they were looking for an Asian girl about my size.. wow I was so scared… US polices are big and serious hey!

    Kali's aunt was 96 old woman but still amazing, she live in old home (panti jompo) because she need friend to talk.

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

Walk thru Harbour Bridge

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
