Old & New

As the owlhugger a new blog for me, I’ll start with a comparison between my old and new life in general.

My old life, back to Sydney where everything was easier and happier

• Uni life, with the assignments, group meetings, exams, uncountable essays and many sleepless nights. No matter how much people or even myself sworn upon these things, I do love schooling.


• Lame nights, where me and my favorite cousin aka roommate doing exactly nothing at home but online or watching tv and decided to our usual place worldsquare or woolies to buy or just look around the grocery stuffs or walking around city, it’s pathetic but I miss those timesss really T__T


• Late supper, it could be anything or being creative by make some stuff hehe and then let my roommate to try it


• Again, since I have other extras roommates (I won’t mentioned it here cuz it's simply too many and again I should “behave” here) we had many “tradition” that we usually do. One of them is talking till God knows what time before we fall asleep in my beloved sofa bed (tired with all the gossiping). Dinner all together, sitting on the floor, in front of the tv (with different varieties of food, woolies chicken, my cooking, etc etc)


• Weekend rituals – Saturday (waking up really early and then go to the market With my lovely “sister”, find a new café, second hand accessories, oohhhhhhh goshhhhhh bring me back to those timess) and then Sunday church, lunch, a little shopping and we usually spend most of the days sleeping.


• Movie Night (Tuesday) the ticket is cheaper and everyone should make their schedule free to go to the cinema.


• Shopping Night (Thursday) even if you don’t have money, it is a must to go out and shop no matter what, the usual place – Centre point and Myer (Witchery, Peter Alexander, SES, Valley Girl, JeansWest, Spotsgirl, General Pants, Susan, Mimco and many more of Australian Store)


• The weekend gateway, and cultural night where we eat, gossip, and laugh till out brain burst out.


• And lastly, the most important thing that make Sydney “home” to me is my friends that have been more than a family to me and they are really home to me and only with you guys I can be ME.


• PS: every corner of these place have certain memories for me (UTS, Broadway, Newtown, Glebe, Opera House, Circular Quay, Market City, Bondi, Paddington, Martin Place, TownHall, City, and Kogarah).
  

The latest and current lifestyle, (please…dunt make it my new life but rather a tempory phase)

• Wake up early (6.30 am) as well as go to bed early (9pm and if im lucky, I can make it to 11pm) what a shame!!!


• Working my ass off (deal with numbersssss… sounds impossible but it is seriously happening)


• Finish work at 4.30 pm then straight to home, maybe groceries shopping on the way home and luckily, if some relatives or friends visit me, I can hang out a bit in Malang (big sigh)


• And then my favorite part, lay in my bed watching my favorite series or go online with the very disturbing speed and connection.


• Making long distance phone calls, coz mostly my friends are far far always from here.

So far I can survive, but then again this is not the best but the only way I should take. I’m trying to take the positive side, in indo there are several things that I could do such as:

· Spa (meni,pedi, all different kind of treatment from head to toe)
· Healthy food (don’t have to think about the money to spend to buy it)
· Mbak (who will take care of everything)
· Money (it’s always there)
and what mostly people would say a family .... (eric cartman voice)

But again, right now I just go with flow; as my good friend told me that someday soon I’ll get and be exactly what I want and I just pray that day will come real soon. I miss all my friends very much, I wish I could turn back the time and be with you guys like the way we used to be. However, rather than keep dreaming, I know and realize that now is
the time to change to be more serious and focus with the future.
