Our 1st and 2nd day in San Diego


The weather wasn’t really friendly in San Diego, it was cool and windy. First day, I woke up early around 7am… so did Shea, when I looked at the time it was 10am di Boston, that’s why ( about 3 hours difference). We had a walk all the way to Mission beach, many people did. Some were biking, rollerblade, jogging. The street is given after alphabet name, Loli and Yogi live in V (Verona) street, but our upcoming studio rent is in D (Dover) street. It was pretty long walk. We walked along the beach. The place is in peninsula between mission beach and mission bay.. just like Hull. It is beautiful; white sand, blue ocean, palm trees.. etc just like I saw on TV. No wonder why this place is pretty expensive. The dream of American living near the beach and nice weather!
Anyway, Yogi cooked us our first breakfast, delicious. Loli’s friend was having birthday cook out. So we joined them, sitting on the beach and enjoy the ocean.  BBQ- Burger and Hot dog (so American), Brownie, cookies, potatoes chips etc… they r nice people, end of the day we played card- Shea taught them the card we play at the beach house…  Loli n Yogi has his cool matrass which u can pump the air in and out. It is confortable just like real matrass-it is where we slept for the last 3 days. I would love to have one… my mom would love it!
Our second day was the same, woke up then had a walk. We walked along the mission bay. Less windy, no wave, big n expensive houses along the bay, private boat, etc. what a life! I saw so many Mexican restaurants, Shea wants to eat as much Mexican food as he can during staying here. it makes sense coz San Diego to Mexico is only an hour drive so the food here  is authentic and delicious. I ate Mexican few times in my life and I started to like it. so our second day of breakfast was Mexican food, Burritos. And buffalo chick wings for lunch.

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

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
