Counting down the days!



It's exactly a week before out next departure, Sydney Australia. OMG 5 months already passed, long trip we have... San Diego has been fun, i met new people, going here and there. we r kinda busy of nothing, meeting people, party here and there. the weather for the last couple days is beautiful, nice warm sunny day. I'm started to love this city. i could see the view clearly, the beach, the bay, palm trees etc spectacular... such a beautiful city.
we have kept going, meeting people, make plan, BBQ, parties, etc..which is good, keep me busy:). last week we finally went to San Diego Downtown, meeting both Jeffs (Shea's friends), had dinner with Loli, Yogi and Lisa. we had short San Diego' tour walked around the city. i did little bit shopping. Broadway... downtown San Diego has so many good fine dining/restaurants and shopping boutiques. very nice city, and walking distance; u can walk anywhere around downtown. palm trees along both sides of the road makes it so character and neat. we went to this village seaport, beautiful park near the city harbor where millions dollars boat parked! the sunset was beautiful...
strips house (if I'm not mistaken) was where we had our New York steak, delicious but we have to grill it ourselves which i think insufficient, pretty expensive too coz  i think we could have paid the same amount of price in other restaurant and have someone cooks for us:), we wont come back to this restaurant but life to learn!
Yogi invited us to this wedding reception, i was excited and wanted to see what is it like but we didn't know either of them (bride or broom) we came anyway. free flow wine or beer, i thought it's going to be no food or drink. i felt bad. then in the afternoon we had BBQ at Megan's house in Mission Bay. it was good and the chick was delicious.
Yogi;s 15.000 days was the next day, we went to see his marathon (swim, bike and run) competition in the morning, thousand of people here in San Diego signed up. Broken york was where we had our breakfast, it says a famous and the best restaurant for brunch. the portion was huge, i think it was OK, it serves champagne for breakfast too.
Prospect bar was where the 15.000 days of Yogi's celebration. it is in La jolla (which pronounce lahoya). i came there myself by bus. La Jolla is the Beverly Hills of San Diego where those rich people lives. it is beautiful there, many good shopping places, and restaurants. i arrived at 4 it was kind of late, many people came, they come and go at different times, some were stayed. we all were there for Yogi (who doesnt love Yogi:)) 
Time goes so quick, we are counting down the days of departure. it's going to be another long flight... a nightmare!

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 ...

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.

muslim Celebration in Oz

When you are somewhere abroad then someone asks "where r u from" the answer is always "Indonesia" but then when u r somewhere in Indonesia and someone asks "where are you from" then will be "Jambi" yes i always miss my country not the crazy traffic Jakarta or corrupt government but the people, the weather and the food. the people is all the matter... especially my family and friends. i miss speaking in my own language, eating Indonesia's street food which cost $1 and friendly smiles of my people. Nov 6 (if I'm not mistaken) was happen to be the Idul Adha, one of Muslim big celebrations. i searched the mosque in Manly area and they have some nearby. i called and came for the pray. we had no car at the moment so i had to go myself by bus. up early and left home at around 6ish. i took my first bus to Dee why (area next to  Manly) $3.30 stopped half way coz i wasnt sure the location then i took my first taxi to the mosque. we prayed in the f...
