August Random

I cant be happier than this, im excited about going home to see my family and friends, wedding and the trip. Couple more days, 2 days left at work then im done. i got my "tax return" back which helps alot with this wedding n trip. I dont really do much since i came back from indo a month ago, all i did so far was work, work and assessment. cant do much in this cold weather. Im not that excited to drive around as i used to be.

Sydney is such a beautiful city, im just happy to see beautiful sunset on the beach every morning. the sounds of the ocean, the fresh and cold air. Manly wakes up pretty early. if you go to the beach around 6am you could see many people walk their dogs, jogging, biking, surfing, yoga on the beach, etc etc.. pretty beachy northern beaches life. Manly ferry runs every half and hour to the city and forth. Beautiful people rush to their work nice suit black long winter boots looking cool! so stylish. indeed Sydney is really such a stylish city.. if you r out of style you r out of line. i saw petty ladies struggled walking on her high heels boots in the city...

Im going to pick up my Chinese Visa tomorrow, seems like my dream to see the great wall and forbidden city are almost come true. im just excited to think about it. i have booked half of the trip's tickets. i will probably have 10 different flights... the longest will be 8 hours to KL from Sydney.. off and on the plane baby!! yes travel day is always suck!! not to mention about the transit, delay, etc etc..

My 2012 trip
this is just a random thoughts. last time when i went home... i was excited but kinda feeling out of blue.. things that used to be excited isnt that excited anymore...food that used to be delicious and my favorite isnt that great anymore.. i guess i have seen and tried alot that makes me realize there are so many options in this world. there are so many things that i want to see and try that i havent... like some says "better regret things you haven't tried that things u have tried

Drinking Bintang Beer instead of Guinness when you r in bali for instance...
And friends... used to be a number one list but not anymore, not as much as family, yes family is a matter. and at the end of the day everyone sticks with their own family. i guess they then realize how important family are. i used to call my mom once a month or every two months but now.. i almost call her every week. who's else can you talk to and who always there for you if its not your family when everyone else are busy with their own agenda of life.

my very first old station wagon ride
and i can say.."mature life is alot harder than teenage life lol... "i think that's why some people are too scare to go out of their confort zone... but the best part of being mature is that "you" is your own boss...  i guess this is just a random thought of mine:)

Ps: then finally at the age of 28 i finally could effort to buy my own cheppo ride.. and plan a trip across continents.. i can say hey better late than sorry! at least i did it!!

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

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
