For The One I Love

Thank you for sharing my world
for warming it with your thoughtfulness
and brightening it with your laughter

For always listening with patience
and somehow understanding what I can't find words to say
or reaching out so often with a tender look or smile
and gently touching my heart

For being a part of my happiest moments
and bringing the sun to my cloudiest of days

For encouraging my highest hopes
and praising even my smallest succcesses

For giving so much of yourself
and helping me to discover so much about myself

For being the caring person who makes my world so beautiful ...

I Love You

My Birthday!

Yesterday was my 28th birthday. It wasn't perfect but it was a great day. I got to spend the day with my little family at home and end the day with a nice birthday dinner with my family. I ended up with full tummy and so sleepy that I fell asleep on the way home. :)

Last but not least, I would love to say thank you to everyone for the wishes. Love you all.

Today's cooking!

Trying new recipe today. Decided to go for Honey Mustard Grilled Chicken and I had mushrooms and rice on the side. It was good, but I still prefer the Balsamic Chicken. I also tried to make a new look for Clarissa's breakfast. It was her usual but with a different look. I am glad that she actually like the way it looked and she was excited. :)

New Look

I decided to actually redo the look. So here it is :)

Packing

Hmm ... since the last time I wrote here before the panda post, I haven't really say that I have left Perth for good early this year. And since then I have been living in Beijing, China.

I cannot really say how I feel about Beijing. I just don't know what to say. It is a totally different way of living than Perth. There are heaps and heaps of people here in China. From my experience living here, I think they are rude and barbaric. They are some kind of idiotic, especially with the way they are walking, riding bicycle, or driving car on the street. I don't say all of them are, but most of them are. Oh, one other thing is I hate the spitting! Sometimes you can think "Ah ok, it's their habbit and you can tolerate them", but if they spit on your apartment lifts or malls, do you think it is tolerable? Maybe it's just me and some other people who just came and live here.

Anyhow soon, as in about 3 days, I am going to leave Beijing. I finished my beginner course of Chinese language. Would love to continue learning for another half year but gotta do some stuffs back in Jakarta. Packing? I hate packing when I am going home for good. Last time it really blew my mind doing all that packing thing. It isn't that bad now, but it's still making me feel really annoyed as I have my sister here and also my little sister is here for holiday. It was easier with just me and Hendra but now everyone wants their own things without thinking about other people. Arghhh .... why can't everyone respect and think about other people for a little bit.

Beijing Zoo

Yes, I haven't write in a while, but today I feel like writing something. As you can see the picture, it is a panda. I feel that the poor looking panda feels sad. Honestly it's not only the panda but also the other animals. I am not complaining, but seeing the condition of the zoo it was so unfortunate for the animals to live in such condition. Look at the panda! Look at how dirty it is , it's not even black and white anymore, it's more like black and brown. In my opinion, the zoo was in a really bad condition, it was dirty, lots of broken exhitbits, exhitbit doesn't suit the animals, an so on and so on. But anyway, I have always love animals and enjoy going to zoo, so it was fun. :D
