Day 2: Indonesia for CNY

Hey guys,

I actually wrote the post for day 1 on day 1 itself but when I wrote it, there wasn't any wifi so I saved it as a draft and I forgot to upload it.

So today, Day 2 was really more of just chill out day without my cousins, because they had visiting (maternal side).

So the first thing after I got up and dressed up, I sat at the table. Why the table? Because it's that table where I just EAT and EAT all the cny goodies. Seriously they are the type of goodies where once you eat, you just want more and more!

We gathered with my other cousins and we had lunch! Lunch was delicious. Sometime I wonder why I can't have Indonesian food everyday. Hahahah!

So after lunch we went visiting and tree was more eating, and eating and eating, until I was so full. Then I kept reminding myself of what coach said, to eat moderately. Hahahha so I controlled!

Then all of us got pretty sleepy probably because we ate too much and drank too many soft drinks. So we had a short rest at my uncle's place before leaving for some hair wash and mani pedi.

I had hair wash, which they call cream bath. It was basically someone washing your hair and drying it for you! Honestly I love it when someone washes my hair for me. That feeling when they scrub on your scalp is heavenly.

While waiting for my cousins to come back from visiting, we went to Starbucks and my genius younger sister managed to get 2 Starbucks for the price of one by feigning that we didn't get our order when she had taken someone else's accidentally. Sneaky eh?

Which after we had dinner and yes, delicious Indonesian food again. HOW BLESSED! The food is just... Thank God for Indonesians.

When we reached home, the girls had another girlie session haahhaha! Eye patches to send the eye bags off!

Ps. (Thank you 伯伯 for letting us stay at your place and being such a caring host!)

Shalom,
Jo

Day 3: Indonesia for CNY

so today is the last dayyyy :-(
Time flies really fast! The last time I went to Indonesia for CNY was 2 years ago and it seemed like it just happened recently.

Today I feel a little more emotional when we said our goodbyes and honestly I wish I could stay a little longer and chill out.

But then again, there's my stack of work and it's not getting any smaller.

So we had brunch at Johan's dad'a place and it was yummy! I personally loved the fish because it was spicy and unique. At first I feels hesitant to try it because it looked a little weird. But when I tried it, it was spicy, soft and tender.

The meatball soup was good too. I remember the last time 婆婆 cooked that for us was when we were at 姑姑 Hui Li's house. I love the meatball soup and I always drink all of my soup. That warm fuzzy feeling when you drink warm soup.

After taking a few pictures, it was time to go back to my other cousin's place to pick up our luggages and head to the airport.

So right now I'm at the airport, having JCO donuts, ice Thai Tea and yoghurt.

Just wanted to thank William, Clarrisa and Fio for letting is stay in their cozy rooms and I honestly love their rooms. The wallpaper is still the same but that's what makes me feel comfortable in their house.
Thank you!

Feeling blessed.
Jakarta, see you soon.

Shalom,
Jo

Day 1: Indonesia for CNY

heyyyyyy!

So it's CNY and yes, I'm going to Indonesia to celebrate CNY!
INDONESIA NOT CHINA AH PLS.

By the way, if you're wondering, I'm NOT INDONESIAN. My dad is, I mean was. He's Singaporean now, but he was born and raised in Indonesia.

So obviously most of my relatives will be in Indonesia that's why I'm actually going there for CNY.

So day 1 nothing much happened but it was really satisfying because I managed to see my relatives again!

Dinner didn't disappoint and it was so so good. I love Indonesian food. Although they don't look as colourfull or appetizing as western food, (not all, only some) they taste wayyyyy better than western food!

And I'm also glad to see my Grandma smiling again because it's been a while, especially after she had stroke. It's really heart warming to see her just laugh or smile when I talk to her :-)

These are a few pictures from Day 1!
(Mostly traveling part because most pictures during reunion dinner was taken by my relatives. )

Shalom,
Jo

Studying isn't a chore anymore

Heyyyy,

So quick one today!
It's a new year, 2013 and it's gonna be the best year yet!
Although January has just passed, it felt as though millions of events just took place but February is a new month! January has taught me alot and i feel that although I tried plucking myself out of the Lord's hands, i failed.

Terribly.

So this month, i'm trusting God for favour and Grace this month and that no matter what I do, I'll enjoy myself!

And for all those out there who are busy preparing for CAs, I urge you to take a break once in a while and just go back to the word of God because that is what will recharge you physically and mentally!

For me, studying has been a breeze even though there's introduction of new subjects. But really trusting God for a joyful time of studying EVERY SINGLE DAY!

So that's all from me :-)
Good night and God bless! Have a blessed week ahead!

Shalom,
Jo

P.s happy CNY and just eat because eating is also a form of being happy :')
And yes I had a hair cut hahahaah
