US visit

It always feels good to be back to home sweet home, our visit to US was great, my good friends Claudia and her family came down to Boston to visit us. It was great to see her. she doesn't change or aged at all. we have been friends for 13 years now, how time flies. you feel old when you meet your friends who then have kids and you as well have your own kids, you were wondering where are these little people come from! they can be little but they are so powerful that can control your happiness and takes so much room in your heart. I love my children beyond word. It just felt weird, I have travelled a lot in the past, each time I wake up first thing I wonder was "where am I today"? sometimes it takes awhile to realise that I am a mum.

Like some people said 'don't take thing for granted" I haven't had a peace time in the toilet for 3 years now since Zack was born. even when i do have my time then my mind doesnt and still wonder "what zack is up to now!" I guess you wont stop worrying ever since you decide to become a parent. It's hard job! i only have the tittle of a mum for almost 3 years and i love every minutes of it!.
Anyway, i love US despite of those terrible gun news etc, i still love US and would love to live there one day. Shopping is great! people are less racist, food is excellent, most important thing is the family. I would love my kids to know and have great memories with their grandparents, cousins, uncles and aunties. They would be there if we ever need help! I love Indonesia but for the shake of my children future i decide to live in first world countries either US or Australia.

Zack had such a great time playing with his cousins so did Noah, he was with his grandparent pretty much most of the time. I only fed him and put hin to bed. I had so much time myself I even finished 2 books. i haven't read any books for i can't even remember! Zack turned to be a beach bum, he went to the beach pretty much everyday.
It was hard to say goodbye... some of Kevin Joseph's friends came to visit us either in Boston and LA. we did have a good time in US. this time visit we didn't end up in emergency room like last tine. the flights were easy, both boys were doing so great! Noah was an angel, didn't cry at all but slept through. I managed to do another big shopping for Zack and Noah, they should be good for next 2 years, they both have a whole new outfit to wear! from Carter, Oshkosh, GAP, children place, CK, etc etc. Karen, Shaynan and Jill took me these big outlets called Wrenthum. I love it! they have so many good brands with good price as well. Mr. Shea also took me to the Mall so i could do some more shopping while he was minded Noah, of bless him, Noah wasn't really so found of mall and cried a lot. shopping in US is the best so far as they have these coupon and sale. The more you shop the better deal they offer.

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

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
