I have no idea girls when will I meet you all again, I might meet Lippe sooner since she's in Melbourne. But, I really want us to meet again, in full team.We always have the foolest conversation in the world, but I love it. Remember, our positive ions would be negative if we are together. hahahaha. that's the lamest statement. ever.

I miss you girls.

survivor

Do you wanna know how it feels, surviving to live with only $85 in your bank account and 10 lt fuel in your car?

it does really suck

I wish I had branded things, so I could sell them on ebay. too bad. I haven't any.

I wanted to sell my textbooks in the second hand bookshop at Curtin. and they rejected all of them. they said,
" this book is the last edition, we no longer use it anymore". damn. now, I'm left with piles of book and i'm still broke.

my life is pathetic.

It is pathetic, really.

Craving for baking cakes actually but somehow I forgot that I'm broke a.k.a no money left so yeah, I think I just lay on my bed until lunch [eating whatever food left on my fridge --> refer to 1 piece of fried chick, my leftover beef stir fry, or fried tofu with pork floss] and then lay on my bed again until Jon finishes his BPL meeting and bring dinner *yay, see how desperate am I?*

One step closer to be a permanent resident.

Finally, I got my bridging visa *Thank God* just now.

I feel so relieve now, at least I won't be kicked out of Aussie when my student visa expires and I thank God again for every single thing; all of those things that I was afraid of (IELTS, my final semester, my internship), amazingly I had been through all of them smoothly, just like it was Jesus who opened all the doors for me so I can walk through with confidence.

Now, I still have one more thing to do. Get a public relations job. So, please if any of you has heard about public relations job out there, anywhere in Australia, preferably Perth :p, please let me know. Thank you.

in a place named Perth.

It's nice to be home, surrounded by the loved ones.
Laughing with friends and cuddling with him.
Sleeping like a child, in my own bed.

punel ga nasinya? - the never ending question

Below is the conversation between me and my mom via skype.

Mum: Wendy, disana jual ketan ga ?

Wendy: hah? buat apa mah?

M : Masak nasi kuning itu nasinya harus punel, itu dikasi ketan. Mama kalo bikin nasi kuning disana nanti ya apa trus? ato nasi disana udah punel ya?

W: *bengong* buat apa ma nasi kuning? aku biasane masak nasi kuning ya pake indofood langsung jadi lah ga pake ribet

M : mama itu mau ngasi nasi kuning buat sukuran kamu itu lho graduation nanti, masak mama ga ngasi apa2. mama udah bikin listnya ini : tante lili, tante paoke, ce devi, tante berkat, mamanya jon, sapa lagi ya wendy ya?

W: *speechless* ma, mama mau masak gitu? cek hebohe ma, ck ck ck. udah kalo mau masak2 gitu pake bumbu jadi wes, masak ayam dllnya gimana ?

M: ya gampang lah wendy, masak ayam ya biasa, enak ta pake bumbu jadi gitu? mama kok ga pernah pake indofood gitu, punel ga nasi'e , ini khan mau dikasi ke orang ga enak lho kalo ga enak jadinya?

W: walah ma ya mboh, biasane pake itu ya enak2 ae kok. maaa, ribet lho bikin2 gitu.

M: Udah gapapa ya nanti ngasi nasi kuning buat temen2e mama sama temen2mu juga, nanti kita makan2 juga di restoran pokoknya nasi kuningnya harus itu. nanti mama juga mau bwa kotaknya juga, trus keranjang buah ya nanti dibwain dari indo, bli buahnya disana aja. Nanti mama tinggal di apartment aja, biar bisa masak2 ga enak lho kalo masak di tempatmu.

W: * speechless lagi* *buah? bwa kotak n keranjang buah dr indo?*

M: wendy, bentar ya mama ada telpon ini

W: *untung aku ga di surabaya iki, isin jrengg heboh kayak menang olimpiade matematik gitu*

I wonder what would my mom do if i'm going to get married?

nasi kuning Wijaya^^: restoran nasi kuning terkenal di surabaya, enak sekali, mantap dan mahalnya tapi kalo pesen nasi kuning selalu disitu, jangan2 kalo ke aussie bole bawa nasi kuning, pasti baggage allowance mamaku di isi nasi kuning semua.

lho kok ?

Suddenly, bosen banged di Sydney. Emang sih, everything is better in here, but the temptation, to buy this and that sangat mengerikan. Plus, kalo si Yosi kelas khan saya muter2 sendirian ga terkontrol !

I miss Surabaya and PapMam

I can summarise what I've seen in Sydney in these 2 weeks:

Things that I hate about Sydney :

1. The public transport fares so freaking expensive ! not forgetting to mention that train tickets are different from bus tickets!

2. It doesn't seem like Sydney anymore, it's more like Seoul or Hong Kong. Where the bloody hell are you, Aussies?
In seconds, sometimes I feel like I'm in Singapore.

3. People just don't smile. The common typical of big cities.

4. Everyone was just in a rush, ok, I'm from Perth, I can see the problem now :)

Things that I love about Sydney :

1. You can find any kind of food, I really mean any food from any country and taste exactly like they suppose to be.


2. The shopping.

3. They actually open on Sunday. Including suburbs.

4. Whatever you wear, they won't notice you. There's always someone who looks weirder than you, wearing normal fashion is abnormal in here.

totally random

There was a random person, sitting next to me yesterday, using YSL perfume, definitely that one.
Oh gosh, how i miss that smell.
