Welcome August,half year to go...
and August means Ramadhan, fasting month for muslim. This is my first Ramadhan in Sydney. No food nor drink for a whole day. good thing it is winter so i can eat an hour early than back home. some people think it is crazynnot to eat but i do what i belief to do at least i know what it feels like to be in hunger so i'll be appriciated food more and not to waste it. sometimes we eat too much more than our body needs it. well yes if you are teenagers you need to eat more as your body is growing but us..??? I have no problem with fasting and get use to it. i have done it since i was 5years old. and i do it every year for the last 23 years of my life. well if you put your mind into something im sure you can do anything. i remember last year when i had to do fasting in US, it was summer and the day was so long.. i had to stay until 8.30pm but i did it and i was fine.
what i like from this ramadhan is that i can fit on my old jeans. feeling so light and good. i guess it is good to have a month break from those greesy, oily, spicy or any kinda of food and drink that torturing your body a whole year. Fasting teaches me to relax and take things slow, to be patient, to hold the temper, temptation etc. you have to really commit to yourself.
About a week and half im going to fly back to Indonesia. this ramadhan makes me miss my family more. the celebration after a month fasting Idul Fitri what we called it in Indonesia is coming soon. im excited as excited as when i was kid. this is like christrmas for Muslim but in different way. a big festival and feast for everyone. alot of delicious food, family and relatives visit each other asking for forgiveness etc. Getting merriage!!! we r also going to have Indonesian wedding, this is going to be fun.. imagine Shea an American has to wear traditional custume who doesnt even speak the language. Last year was In Boston... the engagement was in Amrican way.. now its my turn!! Indo style.
now or never... i just put china in my next trip yes im going to travel!!! Just applying for VISA it costs me $90, im sure it will be much cheaper if i apply in Jakarta. Great wall and frobiddin city... just to think about it makes me excited... so excited im afraid if i go back to Sydney straight away after this indo visit i might stuck work and study...cant go anywhere. real life sucks work and work. we are definately going back to US next year but its going to be a short visit. next will be either Indonesia or USA. Great thou at least we got to travel every year to visit our family.
everything turns perfect...i can say life is good. even better than the pretending life like everyone post in facebook:) no complain no more... it happens and i will keep dreaming big for sure!!!
Sydney-Jakarta-Jambi-Jakarta-Beijing (China)-Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia)- Singapore-BALI!!!-Perth-Melborne and back to sydney!!! it is going to be pain in the butt off and on airoplane... hey you got to do what to got to do!! travel day is always suck but TRAVELLING!!! is fun more than words can describe!
i love travelling!!
