you prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies you anoint my head with oil my cup overflows
if only. i have a lot of things in my mind, sometimes the thought "if only" comes out.. but it's just foolish seriously. there is no if only.
oh well, personal stuff will go to my other journal.. as for this blog, i'll talk bout my recent trip to indonesia =)
it's a wonderful journey home that feels like a month though it's only a week. me and shirls left home on friday morning, to our horror we left some goodies that we've bought and prepared for our relatives at home! sigh so blur... at the end we had to shop again at changi airport. it took us quite some time that we almost missed the plane. lol.
a few funny things happened on our first day there. first, my mom couldn't recognize us hahah.. we were waiting for one another at airport for quite some time before she realized that we're her daughters. apparently, she thought that we somehow grew taller and prettier.. ok i think she's having an illusion.
here's the best part, when we were on our way to highway, the car broke down. it just stopped. oh my... it's just amusing >< so we got ourselves a tow-truck and at the end me n shirls shared a bajaj (a three wheeled small vehicle that makes tremendous noise pollution)
it was great to see my grandparents, dear cousins again.. and yah of course my brother. they kept rattling on about shirls being the lost grandchild considering that she has not gone back home for more than 10 years ^^ i've finally met my bro's fiancee. it's amusing. but seriously i'm really glad for him to find someone who can control him. a nice gal all in all.
we spent our reunion at bandung (my parents' place) it was great, the weather's cool, ranged around 15-20 degrees? who needs aircon with it haha.. and it's true indeed that they stay at the top of a mountain, the view is great. i could see the mountains.. fields.. the cities. the sky looks beautiful and i could see many many stars at night, aaaw felt so romantic.. only God can show love in such a way. we all should get out of the city once in a while and experience some nature, it's wonderful~
to make it complete, we made a trip to tangkuban perahu (an inactive volcano) as well. shirls was busy taking pics, not everyday we can see such beautiful place. funny that both of us remembered justin during this time, yah he would love it man.. maybe we could bring him there after his ORD =p
spent some time at jakarta as well, i did a lot of shopping and we certainly ate a lot of good spicy stuff. my bro has quite a collection of dvds at home that we spent a lot of time watching movies at night also. here's what i got from 'italian job' - you know when someone asks 'how are you' and you say 'i'm fine', FINE means Freaked-out, Insecure, Neurotic, Emotional. hahaha... yeah man.. i totally agree.
i'm really blessed with this year's cny, family is indeed a blessing yah.. we have to treasure more. this trip also taught me of God's greatness once again. the world is vast and beautiful. i'm still waiting for my cousin to send the photos to me, will post them up for sure~
