Great Time

My holiday was great, eventhough it was only for 15 days. All the tiredness is really nothing compared to the feeling and the joy being with my family.
It was busy. Most of the time we went to see my parents' friends, who came for the Christmas and New Year holidays. We visited each one of them and often took them for lunch/dinner. However, I enjoyed being with my family eventhough it was mostly in the car. We had jokes, we laughed together. It was fun!
Being at home was like being in Heaven for me, really. My mum's cooking, my dad's craziness, my sister's fussiness, my brothers' teasing habit... everything means so much.

Ps. I forgot to say about the photo above. Hehehe... it is one of the photos my dad took in my parent's room when I was at home. From left to right: Han-han my youngest brother, me, Grace my little sister and Erwin my handsome little brother.
So... dd Rwitz, jgn dianggep makanan yah adikku :p

Denpasar has not changed much, except that there is a new huge shopping mall, Discovery plaza. It looks nice and has so many shop areas. It has not completely finished and opened yet. There are still many empty space due to the unfinished building, but I could see how big it is. Oh well, probably when I come back in July, it will be completely operating.

One thing I lacked when I was at home... I did not get to see Oen-Oen. Oh well, I knew that I would not be able to see him, since I went home in all of the sudden and he was busy moving place. So, I would just wait patiently until the time comes I will see him again... Why is it so hard for us to see each other? *sigh*

There is another story about me going home. My friends and lecturer in the UK were all panicking and asking whether I am alright when they knew about the Tsunami disaster. I am so blessed that I reached Denpasar on-time before the Tsunami happened. I departed from Manchester on 24 December, arriving in KL on the night of 25 December. I stayed over night there and flied home the next morning. I arrived around mid-day in Ngurah Rai International Airport, the time Tsunami started to destroy Aceh and around it. Well, I grieved for what happened there, but... there's not much use grieving all the time. It is time for Indonesia to recover and become better.

Another thing, I would like to thank you:
  1. Yulia, my sister for sending me such a special Christmas card!! Thank you so much, sister! I love it so much!
  2. Also, Ce Ria, Mbok Ari, Jeng Loli, Lu-c, Zuzu, Lydia, and everyone else, who kindly sent me Christmas cards. Thank you so much!

Oh yes, I want to share my joy as well! Despiting a blocked nose and a ruined body, I am so happy today because The University of Liverpool has given me a conditional offer for a Master course! And so, it is up to me now to do my best in the exams to get the best result possible!

My exam today was okay. I went into the examination room with a blank brain and rugged body. At the first glance to the questions, I knew not any of the answers... but Thank God, He helped me so much in doing them. I even got to answered all of the compulsory questions and 3 out of 4 long questions, which only 2 questions are required to be done. I am so blessed! Thank God!
Oh well, I better stop now, I have to rest again before I get worse. Take care everyone! God bless!

T uesday, 29th August 2006 has became a special day for both Lan and I. Why? Well... let me tell you the story. Around five in the afternoon, Lan rang me telling me not to cook, because he will treat me for dinner. So I just waited with no thought of what will happen afterward. In the middle of me watching Marrying a Mafia , my phone rang again. It was Lan, saying that he is outside the entrance door of the hall I live. It was about six o'clock. I quickly paused the movie, grabbed my keys and ran to open the door for him. When I met him at the door, he was formally clothed and holding a bouquet of roses (and a plastic bag). I was surprised... for him to buy me a bouquet of roses in United Kingdom was the first time, I don't ask for it, because I know flowers are quite expensive here. Suspicion came to me for awhile along with the question 'what is he up to this time?!' . But I quickly brushed it off thinking that maybe he was just being nice since we only have several d...

A khirnya ludes sudah kertas lipat yang dikirim mamiku dalam jangka waktu kurang dari seminggu! Sayangnya jumlahnya kurang, jadinya botolku hanya terisi separuh. *Ada yang mau nyumbang ngirim? Karena aku tahu di sini tidak ada yang jual kertas lipat yang seperti itu, adanya yang bujur sangkar saja* So, here is the picture. Gak terlalu jelas sih, tapi ya kanggo lah ya hehe... Tak terasa sudah 2/3 dari liburanku terlewati, tugas belum semuanya tuntas, tapi mata terasa penat karena harus membaca banyak jurnal dan buku tebal untuk mencari data... *sob* Jadi minggu depan, bakal full time doing homework deh! Tadi *jumat* aku bereksperimen di dapur. Bikin brownies... belum aku coba sih rasanya bagaimana kue yang baru keluar dari oven itu, tapi waktu mengaduk adonan, rasanya sudah pas. Aku bikin kue dalam rangka ultah si Lan tanggal 13 kemarin. Kebetulan dia sudah kembali dari Cambridge, jadi besok aku akan berkunjung ke tempatnya dengan membawa kue brownies dan hadiah ulang tahunnya . Semog...
