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 ...
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.
