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:)

Motherhood

Motherhood! I really enjoy being a mum, perhaps because my kids are young and I am  still in complete control of their life! their well being are depends on me as their mum. They said "Teach them what you wanted to learn when you were a little instead of give them what you wish to have" im not sure what I wanted or wish to learn. Perhaps Piano, I always wish I could be able to play any musical instruments or perhaps I wish I have the "people skill" how to deal with people as I was so shy. Most of those leaders aren't really the smartest but one thing they have in common is their skill of how to convincing or pursuing people! I know for sure the only precious thing I could give my kids is my time! playing and explaining thing. they are little so everything is new and there is always new exciting thing for them to know. like last week I told Zack we are going to have a walk to the hill next to little manly beach where there are little bunnies because...

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 ...
