im so bored of this place, next post, hit it!

hello sista!

say hello to my sister, her name is natya.
i tease and bite her all the time.
but i love you loh :D

how far?

so, i live in carnegie
it is only one station from my uni - caulfield
so, i usually go to uni by foot, it takes around 20 minutes one way
not that bad. put it as an exercise and clearing my brains out before/after lectures
one way to save transportation cost :p but i still go on trains when its too late at night, or too cold/raining/windy or just as simple as too lazy to walk :p
so, on the second day, my family are all curious on how far does it take to walk.
guess what? yes, of course complaint : too far.
well, they asked for it :p sorry guys! but at least they get to see the nice houses in the neighbourhood, right?

have a lovely weekend!

hello! im spending my saturday at home,
i got flu after spending the whole day cleaning my bedroom yesterday, its very clean now :D
needed a rest after the insane start at uni - its only the first week and im going crazy
wish me luck for this semester.
and hey! its fasting month already next week! well, eat up people!
i cannot believe august is just around the corner!
hoping y'all have a great weekend :)

that picture was taken on the second day at swanston street, melbourne cbd.

the gifts

one month of family vacation with two and a half cameras (why half? well, theres three cameras with us, but we rarely used my old one)
resulting 36 GB 36 folders, we managed to organized them per day and wrote down the places we went that day.
so there won't be trouble in remembering, its all there, i just need time and time to upload them :D
first day was exchange gifts day, maybe like christmas, and surprisingly i got lots of gifts and letters, it was like my birthday :)
there was a set of kandura keramik from my talented lovely ladies nuri and ghia, kiss kiss.
and the necklace was from my aunties family - thank you tante atiek and family
i should publish this post right now or else i could not stop saying thank you :)

let's start.

cant believe the last time i posted was that long ago
the thing was, we were on a roadtrip where internet access was limited
and right after we were back in melbourne, besides we're so exhausted, my laptop was highly occupied by my brother, sister, mom even my dad - these people could not live without internet, geez.
well, they're back already in indonesia and as well as myself back to uni starting yesterday. not the happiest moment. but, we have to carry on, yes?
took a look of our photo folders and it hits to 36 GB, can you believe it? crazy.
now i just dont know where to start, well probably i do (from the first day and goes on from there)
hmm i will try my best between my readings, assignments, social life, cooking and sleep. just be patient :p

starting point then.
well, these pictures were from the first folder, which was the arrival.
i remember the feeling, a little bit sleepy waking up too early and it actually made everything seems more likely to be a dream.
it took quite some time to believe that they are actually here! at southern cross station, waiting for me to pick them up.
its been nearly one and a half years (except my mom) since the last time we were face to face in person - skype does not count since we were seperated by two screens and miles of distance haha
we went straight to carnegie, where i live
thanks to the worlds greatest landlord who let my family stayed here for almost 3 weeeks, cant thank them enough.
made them a simple omellete and friends for breakfast yet very tasty for them (or they're just too happy to see me, or too tired after the eight hours flight :D)
after hugs and kisses we went to the most crucial place for my father : toorak.
why? in 1994 we lived here, i was in primary school and my bro and sis are still in kindergarden.
so here we are, back to where we were. and we agreed that everything seems smaller than we remembered.
our school, apartment, sidewalks of brookville, toorak.
