Home sweet Home soon!!

It is the end of May, time goes fast almost half year. 3 weeks ago i just turned 28. would never have thought that i would be in Sydney in my 28th bday, my 27th was in Cambodia, 26th was in Bali, 25th was in Jakarta with buch of friends and bday cake, 24th i didnt really remember..lol. nothing special just relaxing and enjoying quiet bday by myself. no good friends to celebrate and dont really know special place to go. i took a bus to chastwood. it is an hour away from Manly. big mall and supermarket and store. Hectic and busy street. first time i was there i felt like in Singapore. just like when the first time i got to see Toronto. it is like an Asian community. most of the people are Asian, there are also many asian restaurant where selling spicy food. i had pho noodle for dinner.
The weather is getting really cool. i have to put my gloves and long boots. the sun goes up and down earlier unlike back home. but at least it's still there. beautiful sunset on the beach. All i think so far is home, i miss my family, country, people and the food. i will stay as long as i could until i get sick of it or till i broke.
Work is the only option for winter. yes i work so hard. work and study... my certification study goes well as well as my practice teaching at Kid City kindergarten. i love being with the kids. those little cute evil. kids are always full of surprise.. my students are so cute and small some are still so baby. i become a morning person, wake up at the same time and do pretty much the same things. Back home i used to wake up whatever i want as i start working at 3, the trip also was the best of the best... live life day by day.. no plans nor worries just go with the flow.. oh how i miss those days.
Home, thats what i have in my mind. i wanted to go home in August for Ramadhan. another 3 months.. so excited..but i guess i will go sooner!!1 yes my man bought me return ticket home.. IM GOING HOME for my brother's wedding, Shea insisted as he missed his sister's wedding and he doesnt want me to feel the same way. i will just knock the door and surprise everyone.. this is going to be great.. as no body in my family knows about it. i just opened my trip diary, searching for leftover Rupiah (Indo money) i have. yes i found 30 thousand or $4. enough to get thru the airport.. $2 dinner and $2 bus.. oh how i miss being in Indo... everything is so much cheaper! i might have to adjust the 35 degrees weather and the heat but i love the sun.
Yes im ready to go back to the road...aeroplane, bus, train and boad.
Home sweet home, Indonesia-Jakarta-Jambi
Ps: Will be long direct flight, i hate flying:/

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
