How's married life?

Marriage is not one-hundred-percent of happiness, really... The reality is that... There are things that you have to leave behind, There are things that you gain while stepping forward into the new beginning. Once, you belong to a family. Now, you own your own family. It's a kingdom that both of you, your partner and you, have to build to be strong, full of love, peace and joy. Family should be a kingdom that imparts the joys of Heaven in Earth. - nie, 06 May 2007 I once wrote my thought above about wedding and marriage in this post before I was officially married. And yes, things changed and are still continuing to change. But, hey, marriage is not as scary as some people think it is. Well, this post is to answer all of you, who have asked me *and are going to ask me* about how my married life has been. I'd have to say that this post might not be the definite answer from me, because, as most of you already knew, I have to be apart from my husband, Lan, for 2 mon

My latest news

L ong time no update, Anita asked me why, hehehe... I've been unwell and busy lately. The maid has gone home for two weeks, so... *if you can guess right* I am her replacement. Well, not 100% replacing her, otherwise, I will be lying on the hospital's bed. Mum and I work together, although, for the last two days, I had to force myself to get out of bed and forget the painful headaches on my head. I've been sick for 2 weeks, now. My nose can't breath and, most of the time, it affects my ears, I can't hear *sob*, then, the headache follows. Sometimes, it is really painful that I feel like fainting, it's like there are many nails going through my head. I went to the doctor, yesterday, but he said I'm OK (really?!). I left the doctor with disbelief and complaint for such an expensive cost. He's really making money, isn't he?! Well, that's all I have for now. I am very tired and thinking of having an early night. Tomorrow awaits with its business

In a month time...

17 September 2007 is the date I will certainly reunite with you. Honey, I miss you... Every breath I breath, Every tears I cry, Every blink of my eyes, and every thought of my mind They always think of you. Wait for me and miss me there. Love, Sherly It has been awhile since I made a poem. I think it's coming back to me hehe...

Thank You, JESUS!

Update: I got my passport and visa now. However, my plan to fly to UK asap has to be postponed. For some reasons the British Embassy has given me a visa that will only be valid on 17 September 2007! That's a month from now... Well, can't do much about that, except wait for another month. I am so sorry, honey... T hat's the most important sentence that I should and have been saying these two days! Thanks also for all of your prayers, my dear friends. As planned, I went for an interview to the British Embassy yesterday for my UK visa application at Floor 19th Deutsche Bank Building, Jl. Imam Bonjol, Jakarta at 10.00 a.m. The interviewer was a very nice lady. She asked many questions, starting from my course title, Lan's details, future plans and the amount of funding available for my living costs during my study. Thanks Jesus for the extra calmness He gave me that I could answer each and every question correctly and comfortably. At the end of the interview, she to

Been a month

"B een a month already!" Lan said that to me in his email. I wonder which is the real reality; time flies or we've been apart too long? We miss each other terribly that we've gone through some sicknesses one after another. The visa application has not given us a happy news. Instead, on Tuesday, 07 August 2007 at 10.00 a.m., the British embassy requires me to attend an interview in Jakarta. So, here is an extra effort to get my visa. Please, dear friends, kindly pray for me and for this visa application that it will come out quickly. Anyhow, being apart gives us many important lessons; about our feelings towards each other, the importance of each other's presence, the meaning of our marriage and many others. Being apart does not mean we don't grow, instead, it makes us much mature and gives us great understanding about our marriage. Thank you, Jesus, for allowing this to happen. I believe that You have a great plan for us. Amen! OK, friends, that's al
