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!!

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/...

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 ...

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.
