Slow but sure

It is almost a year i left my country and i miss it more and more each day. i miss my family and friends and my people... everything about Indonesia incl. the traffic. Manly; the weather has been so nice lately... sunny and beach. life in Manly is getting there. slow but sure... i like my new apartment, tiny 2 bedrooms apart near the beach (that cost us $2000 per month) expensive hey.. it drives me cray every time i convert things to Rupiah (Indo currency), with the same $ i can rent a house for a year. i heard Manly is one of the most wanted places to live... the beach, surf, bay, city and the northern beaches and big city life style... i met so many europian only in Manly..any nationalities in Europe, you name it they have it... incl... America.. it is just so cool when you work in such an international circumstances where everyone else is just like you came from somewhere else. i work with Japanese, Brazilian, Korean, Italian, Germany, Venezuela, Argentinian, Swedish, American, British, Polish, Dutch, Canadian, Greece, Thai, Pakistan, Nepal... these people that i could remember so far and i'm sure so much more...
last time i complained about how shitty our old apartment was... im happy with this new apartment, clean and tidy... i try to keep it as clean and tidy as i can. i finally have a place that i can call home where i can invite friends for dinner and afternoon chitchat. we furnished unfurnished apartment and tried to make it as homey and nice as possible... the only thing that hasnt came yet is a job... a jobby for me... as Shea has already got his government IT job. i need a job... a real job!
one of the things that can make my day is shopping, living away from family and friends sucks... everything is expensive here including the fare... hard to go around without car, bus can cost $3.50 for short distance and more for long distance... i bough those student pass which cost cheaper that normal fare...i bough so much sh#its i don't need.
Certificate III for childcare, i already booked it online and ready to start, yes i want to go back to school and study... anything that bring me back on track. helps me with job and career. i cant give up and why should i? im already in this stage and need to move on. Education is the only best way to start.
Happy Easter to my royal reader...my story is flat and bored, just an update from Manly. living near the beach is everyone's dream and why should i complain. just a bit complain about the circumstances especially those you feel like against your wish. God give what we need not what we want:)

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
