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...

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 t...

We stayed in LA for 2 nights just to rest, We stayed at the la Quinta hotel 5 minutes from the airport with shuffle bus in Inglewood street. It isn't the best part of LA neighborhoods but we care less as we need was rest. We all jet leg slept during the day and up at night. The second night we finally managed to put both boys to sleep then suddenly we felt the building was shaking. Sometimes after 14hours flights you might think you still feel like in the airplane. It took awhile to realize it was an earth quake! We rushed to leave the hotel I grabbed Noah and Shea carried 35 pounds zack who was still sleep. We took the stairs from 7th floor! When we walked out, the street was empty! No body felt the earth quake other than us and young couple from next room. The rest of them must sleep through as it was at 1 am. when it happened, both boys awake! That was it! Zack didn't want to go back to sleep and was up from 1am until 10 am! What a night!! I couldn't  believe how h...

It has been a while since I posted my last blog. Here I am a mother of 2 very young boys. Yes I have another boy my precious little Noah! I love him beyond words. How amazing tiny little people takes so much room in your heart! I love my boys so much. 

Zachary Owen Shea, was born in Oct 4th 2013. He is our world and everything for us, we love him more than words cant explain. He is just beautiful mix of me and Shea. Last night we had diner and it felt weird but yet happy to see little me sitting with us in his high chair. He watched us eating, he drooled! I said "not yet bubba soon enough you will eat pretty much everything we eat" within just 6 months our life changed! Being a stay home mum of this gorgeous baby Zack is the best could happen in my life! We go outside everyday except when it rains, we stroll around the beach, enjoy the view, listen to  the wave, feel the ocean breeze, and birds singing! see him smiling is the medicine of the day! see him growing is the best achievement of my life! This is just random blog! My head is just couldn't think perfect words to convey how I feel while watching bubba rolling! yes it is apart of being mum! worry!

And finally we reached to this stage when the time and plans arent ours anymore, it is involved our little man, our beautiful baby boy who was born 6 weeks ago Zachary Owen Shea! he is beautiful baby in the world others isn't matter mine is the best. He is such a gift! shine sun! everything to us! how life changes in just one day! sleepless night, nappies, baby cry but best of all is the smile that bright our day. Babies are such a torture and why are they so cute? I didn't really understand how it feels like to be a mum until I have my own. It is just different, another whole story! I will not let anyone  harm him not even the wind! I love him so much. if I didn't have him this time, I would have travelled to Europe, we would have gone to US, I would have busy working, we would have had our own world-dining out, wake up late, shopping, dinner plan, pub (for Shea), etc. But these are nothing compare to what we have! we have a son! a beautiful mix son. He is Australi...

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, ...

It has been awhile, i don't even know where to start, so many things happened in life in Sydney. Last time i wrote was about my trip to Melbourne for first time, staying in this backpack somewhere in St. Kilda share room with bunch of Irish and British. Second night we all couldnt sleep because one of them had sex in same room and made such a laud noice Twice! Anyway, this is my second summer in Australia, its been beautiful and warm. Beach is always packed with tourists and parking spot is always full which i hate so much. i decided not to go anywhere during the weekend just because i dont want to lose my parking spot. suck! Manly beach is beautiful, this summer time i swam in the ocean only 3 times. still too cool for me;) We are living in a real life with full time jobs and bills lol... it sucks! living near this beautiful beach paying more than $2000 /month rents for such a tiny box flat. i dont even go to the beach, sarcasm! im so get use with high living cost especially ...

Great Ocean Road is an Australian National Heritage that stretch of road along the south to east coast of AUstralia it is started from city call Torquay until Warrnambool. Yes this great tour is the headline of my Melbourne trip and probably the best of this 2012 trip. $90 for a day tour was way worthy I would have to pay more if I have known what I would get! It was awesoooomeeee! I'm highly recommended to everyone who visit Melbourne it was the best. There are so many tour agent that you can book, online or thru brochure they all pretty much the same. I booked mine online, it was quick and easy. This tour agent has some pick up points including St. Kilda area where I stay. It is in Base backpacker which was across the street where I stay. I was ready at 7am, the bus picked me on time.... I love first work countries they don't mess with time and no rubber time either like back in Indo, Back home, if you make an appointment at 7 means they will be there at 8 lol. It was a sm...

My flight to Melbourne was better than before, tiger airline is a budget flight I got for $250 for 4 hours flight to Melbourne. I didn't know where to go, I asked random people here and there and they gave me different answers so I had to go back and forth to find the shuffle bus with my heavy luggages, pain!!!. I finally found St. Kilda bus cost $19. It took about 45 minutes ride. I thought It is going to be near the central but apparently not. St. Kilda is the suburb area with beautiful bay/beaches.  It is half an hour from downtown. I stay in a motel call Home traveller, didn't know what to expect and was thinking it should be better than Bambu backpack. In fact it does. Friendly staff, better room and clean bathroom, this room has 9 beds and mind as always is on top. The bed is clean, blanket and sheet are clean. I was happy to find a better place than Bambu hostel. Most of them who live here (yes they actually live here for weeks) are Irish and British. They are nice a...

I haven't had time to update my blog, was busy travelling off and on the plane and buses with my heavy luggages. I dislike, I should have learned from experiences that travel light. I have probably 30-40 kilos; 2 loaded bags and one backpack. Anyway, city of Perth; it is such  a small city with small downtown... I like it no rush everyone is so lay back. so nice, I can walk pretty much everywhere end everything is walking distance. Well depends but I like walking. First day in Perth without wasting my time I went to down town to see the city. There is free shuffle bus everywhere around town it calls blue cat.  There is a shelter bus in front of the hostel so it was easy for me to go around. CBD down town is where all the shopping Malls, offices and entertains are. It is located in Hay street and Murray street. I hanged out there 2 days in the row, did some shopping, ate, and enjoy the scenes. It is pretty much like shopping area where there are so many Branded store and co...

Bali vacation is over, sad to leave the island I heart most, I love BAli. The last 3 days in Kuta we just stayed, relaxing, walked alone the beach, shopped and ate. night life in Bali is pretty much the same. Every night is saturday night. Tourists are keep coming everyday. Good thing Sept is the low season so it was little bit quiet. I did nothing but ate, slept and walked along the beach. It was real vacation so nice. My flight to Perth was early morning, my sister left first at 5 am. I got to the airport at 6, it was already long queue, there were 3 different flights flew to Perth at the same time. My luggage was overloaded I had 10 kg extra and it cost $100. I didn't want to pay that much so I gave some of my stuff away like blanket, jacket, Indo spices, bag, etc. my hand luggage was also overload. I didn't want to give up my new bag. One of the officers helped me, he gave me free luggage. So instead of paying $100 I only paid $20 to him. The flight was good at the ...

Pura Uluwatu is a beautiful temple with a lot of Monkeys, it is also called Uluwatu Monkey Temple. These monkeys live here, they are pretty aggressive. We tourist have to be very careful when we walk in, all the accessories like hats, watch, ear-ing, sunglasses, camera or any small things that can be taken are must be hidden or put it in the bag. These monkeys like to grab anything they can grab, i remember last time i came here with Shea, the monkey almost took his $600 glasses, he was fighting over the glasses with a monkey.. funnny. Monkey gave up but his glasses was kind of bend and needed to be fix.  I took my sister to this temple, there was a ceremony going on, pretty much the same like the one in Tanah lot. many Balinese came wearing white cloth called "kebaya" beautiful. everyone brought a basket of offering. There are some small temples in side and one of the biggest was close for tourist. it is on the cliff, amazing view with the blue...
