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:/

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 ...

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 first 4th of July

It has been a week or so now we r staying at the Beach House in Hull… Summer is real hot like back home weather…   but at least we settle for a while…   same stuffs every day; wake up, have breakfast, beach/bay/ sunset, here n there random things to do, dinner then bed…   ah I feel   like a normal person again after a while..   4 th of July is American Independent Day, I heard about it in my history lesson but now I experienced it! first of July's Weekend, Everyone were here. Karen, Paul and Beando’s/ they came on Friday… the house became crowded but the more the merry… I’m glad I experienced real American family; live and interact with them. I’ve seen different people everyday, Shea keeps introducing me to new friends, cousin, uncles, 2 nd cousin, neighbors, etc…   I don’t even remember their name. the only one I remember is Wendy, nice neighbor who lives across the street. it’s part of experience I guess and this amazing trip.. the further you go t...
