just my random thoughts

It has been 2 months away from home, living on the road; from country to country, city to city Hotel – hotel and home to home… from plane, train, bus, boat, etc… I don’t feel like I belong to anywhere but my own country. it is weird; why? When I was in Indo I wanted to get out of the country seeking for a better life and happiness. But when im already out, im kinda miss my country… my food, my people, i think there isn’t happiness anywhere, u can’t seek for it but it’s there in your heart and your mind. You will always feel the same everywhere you go at least you set your mind into something that make you happy. no wonder why those people who we think have everything that we possible wanted but still feeling unhappy. It is you is the one who decide to be happy or not happy.

I’m sure I have reached the point when I think I have enough… I mean enough for a while, kind of taking a break and relax. I miss talking in Bahasa… eating the food. but you know what… everything is never be permanent… everything is temporary… life is also temporary I guess!!, and I know this homesick will be temporary…

When I looked back to the time when we travel… I just could say Wow how did I do that! I hated every minute in Laos, the people weren’t nice, food was suck weather was hot but then I say to myself.. “wow I did make it there”. i ate Pho noodle every meals in Vietnam and i loved it. the elephant ride and visiting long neck village was the best of the best...from thailand, and of course magnificient of Angkot Wat in Saim Reap Cambodia is always in my head..i feel like i went there yesterday. I think about all the busses ride for hours and hours… crossing the border.. dragging those heavy bags form country to country.. moving hotels from good to shitty! Eating different taste of food but at end I could say “wow I did it!” things would never be the same after these days of travelling. i ENJOY/-ed every minutes of it...
Im glad i do/did...im glad I’ve seen stuffs, im glad I’ve experience these!!…
but the best of the BEST is MORE way to come...more countries and more cities to see! im stil as excited as the first time i started this TRIP!!!.. Now im proud to call myself as #TRAVELER!!

Motherhood

Motherhood! I really enjoy being a mum, perhaps because my kids are young and I am still in complete control of their life! their well being are depends on me as their mum. They said "Teach them what you wanted to learn when you were a little instead of give them what you wish to have" im not sure what I wanted or wish to learn. Perhaps Piano, I always wish I could be able to play any musical instruments or perhaps I wish I have the "people skill" how to deal with people as I was so shy. Most of those leaders aren't really the smartest but one thing they have in common is their skill of how to convincing or pursuing people! I know for sure the only precious thing I could give my kids is my time! playing and explaining thing. they are little so everything is new and there is always new exciting thing for them to know. like last week I told Zack we are going to have a walk to the hill next to little manly beach where there are little bunnies because...

My first 4th of July

It has been a week or so now we r staying at the Beach House in Hull… Summer is real hot like back home weather… but at least we settle for a while… same stuffs every day; wake up, have breakfast, beach/bay/ sunset, here n there random things to do, dinner then bed… ah I feel like a normal person again after a while.. 4 th of July is American Independent Day, I heard about it in my history lesson but now I experienced it! first of July's Weekend, Everyone were here. Karen, Paul and Beando’s/ they came on Friday… the house became crowded but the more the merry… I’m glad I experienced real American family; live and interact with them.

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 ...
