Off to the City for Drop kick Murphy's


We finally got this small apartment for $1600/month, we just signed the lease for 3 months... not really nice but at least it has kitchen so i can cook my own food as it's very expensive to go out for meal here in Manly. it is located in the heart of Manly, yes as i wrote before, we pay the location and view instead of the place. 2 minutes walks to the beach and bay... Shea promised, we will find a nicer and better apartment after finishing this lease, that's our short goal. nice and decent apartment in Manly overview the beach or bay.we are not moving yet  till Tuesday. we are still living in friends' house.... still haven't unpack our suitcase, still haven't settle, yes it's almost 2 weeks..
Drop kick Murphy, my very first concert i just went too, crazy rock Irish concert, laud, and a bunch of drunk people, i didn't like it at all, at least it's one of the lists Shea promised me. We left manly and went to Sydney city by 30 minutes Ferry, first time i saw the city... i mean really walked around the city... such a big and hectic city just like what i expected... busy streets, high building jam together, shopping malls, restaurant... things are bit cheaper in city than in Manly... at least i know where i'm heading to next time i go back to the city.. "shopping mall" and china town"
we were meeting Matt (Shea's British friend) in town hall. we took a bus back to Matt's apartment in west Sydney (if i'm not mistaken), such a nice 2 bedrooms apartment. around 8pm we left for the concert... it was in new town... nice area with a lot of small shops. Rock band... what else can u expected other than some guys screaming on the stage.. i didn't understand what they were singing... i couldn't take it, after 4 songs i left the room and sat outside.
i waited for 2hours tired and very sleepy.... at the end it was pretty interesting, not because of the concert but bcoz of what happened during the concert... some sh#t happens such as; a lady was screaming and holding her bloody head, apparently she just injured her forehead, a drunk man broke his neck so an ambulance with the medical team came, it looked pretty bad. and another drunk man got kick out of the building by the security because he did such a riot, the waiter screamed at one of this drunk guy i didn't know why.. good thing they didn't kicked him out of the building... so yes it was pretty interesting to see for my "very first concert"
we stayed over at Matt and Rachel's house... so nice to be able to sleep in a nice n comfy bed finally... even just for 2 days. they took us to the yack club for breakfast, Sydney harbour overview these beautiful Sydney Bridge, city and ocean... beautiful sunny day. we walked around the park and harbour and back to the Manly Ferry.. Yes we r back to Manly, the ferry was packed with people from all over.. i heard some speaks different language other than English, yes these people are come from all over the world... 
Manly to Sydney; 30 minutes by ferry... very nice ride and beautiful view of Sydney bridge, city, Opera house, ocean, harbour, some yacks, people sailings, blue ocean and of course beautiful white beach... Sydney is the city where you can have it all; harbour, ocean, surf, beach, sailing, city life, shopping, you name it they've got it!.. no wonder why there are so many people want to move to Sydney...yes just SYDNEY!. Im happen to be here... to love it or not to love it, times will answer...

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

Walk thru Harbour Bridge

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. 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
