Surprise Presents


I haven't updated my blog in a while... Spent my last days just trying to spend as much time as I could with everyone..

Im back... back in Australia, back in Adelaide... 

How does it feel?? Well.. the first few days weren't too bad, dad was still here and Mitch had holidays from work... but now, now I'm alone, no one at home.. and I don't know what to do. All I can think about it all the friends I've left and how I wish I was still with them.

I had christmas at mums house.. heaps of presents, it was good, but it didn't really feel like christmas. Aku jauh lebih senang natalanku di Jogja... di sana aku ga dapat kado, tapi itu jauh lebih berarti. It was good to see mum again tho, see her place n now things have changed and her new dog.

Over the last few days Dama has been asking me if I unpacked yet... and Now I know the reason.. Last night I was looking for my apple remote, so i went into my suitcase, n then I noticed a small pink bag... I had no idea what it was, so I knew I didn't put it there. I opened it and saw that it was a box and a letter from Dama... Reading it made me soooo happy and so so sooo sad at the same time... I wish I didn't have to leave.. I opened the box, in it was a photo frame with four photos.... from photo box... her and vando... in each photo they are holding up a sign "we" in the first "love" in the second "you" the third and "Bondan" the fourth. and all put together in a frame... I miss you guys soo much. it might not seem like much of a present to you Dama... but to me, it has sooooo much value. Yesterday was hard, being alone the entire day, my first day where I felt like "things are going back the way they used to be" I'm always thinking about you guys, and then I find this gift, that shows you guys also care.  I don't really know what I'm saying, or what I want to say... 

Well... I guess what I want to say is Thank You!! Thank you for everything, for being there and caring. You guys mean the world to me and its so hard  for me to be away from you. 

Miss you so much.

MUM'S HEREEEE!!! and DAMA TOOOOO!!!

Well the title kinda says it all.. haha.. Mum's here!!! Well.. a few days ago. . got here on saturday, but we haven't done that much, cause I've still got exams. Me, Vando n Heru went n got her from the airport, then I took a taxi with mum back to my kos. Vando n Heru came over n chatted for a while n then went out for dinner at Pondok Cabe. After that mum was tired as, so dropped her home n I went out to Code with the others.
Sunday I spent studying, n then met up with mum at Amplaz, felt kinda bad leaving her there all day, but I needed to study for my exam. . seemed to go ok, so hopefully I passed. Then it was out to Muara Kapuas for dinner. always good and cheap. haha. . Cause Dama just got here, she spent the first few days in Saphir hotel, so we all (me, mum, vando) came back to her hotel to have a hot shower.. mum went first, then me. . . then finally Vando. I dont think he's ever had a hot shower before. . . when he came out he apologised for making the floor wet . . we were confused so went n had a look, and the entire bathroom was SOAKED!!! hahaha.. it was hilarious. we asked if he shut the shower curtain n he said "what for?" haha. lucu bangeeeeeetttt!! noranyaa.. hehe. .maaf ndo (not that you EVER read my blog!!!! hahahaha) he also made a new discovery of dental floss, and after each time using proceeded to sniff it, say it smelled, wash it, and then repeat the process over and over again with the same look of shock / amazement in his eyes. he also managed to steal the sewing kit (pronounced SOWING Vando!!) pokoknya dy lucu banget malam itu! haha.

Monday was my exam, then picked up my letters that I need to get out of the country, had a quick feed at PKL n then picked mum up at malioboro. . took her to Mirota Batik n then went for early dinner at Parsley. was gonna meet up with vando and the others, but it turned out that he had an exam the following day at 7:30am, so that didn't happen. Dama came to drop Mita off at Parsley so she could meet up with Andy, n mum wanted to ask her about Saphir. (I think she was having a hard time in my kos.. hehe) anyways.. asked the prices n stuff, n mum said it might be a nice treat to spend my last week in a hotel, hot water, tv, aircon etc etc. 

So, first thing tuesday (today) we went to the travel agent and booked into saphir, kinda nice to spend a few days with mum in a hotel, at least I think she might be happier here =) also think it will be fun to have vando and dama stay over after she leaves, we can go swimming n hang out n what not. anyways, I just dropped mum n dama off at the agent n went straight to immigration, should have gone about a week ago =S . . i went up to the 2nd floor n there was a security guy there, he saw the blue folder in my hands n asked if i was after an EPO (exit permit only) n then pointed me in the right direction. I got the office and stuck my head in. . there was a lady walking back from the bin. 
"MASUK!" (enter) she said
"Ibu Ros ya?" aku nanya
"DUDUK!" dy menggong-gong
I sat down, she threw her half eaten gorengan back onto her plate n demanded the folder. I surrendered it. she looked through it all, like she was repulsed to see another one of these ( i heard she was galak, but I had no idea. . ) I told her the date was one day wrong on the letters that I had gotten from UGM. 
"so when are you leaving?" she snappily asked me
"the 21st" I replied
"ok, so you can come back to get your passport on the 2oth! . . . Your passport ok?! the 20th!" she barked again as she stuffed the sheet of paper in my face.
I took it, said thank you and left.

I wanted to go to bali a few days before I had to go home, but I wasn't game enough to say anything. especially cause I was late in handing in all of the documents, I left only 6 days instead of 10. . So i called rocky to tell him the bad news, that I wouldn't be able to come to bali before the 20th. . He seemed disappointed, but yeah, there's nothing I can do about it now, its fixed... I guess I'll just have to see if i can get an early flight on the 20th, so i'll have a day and half with him n hopefully he doesn't have to work. . . although its a little disappointing, I'm still kinda happy, cause it means I'll have a few extra days with my mates here =)

ok, summing it up... after immigration we went to prambanan, I think mum enjoyed it, after that it started pouring with rain.. deres banget. . waited a while, it slowed down n we headed off. . went to amplaz for lunch. . did some shopping, then checked into the hotel. had some dinner, went n picked up mum's stuff n now here I am writing this!

tomorrow I gotta study again, so mum's gonna get a massage and maybe to to Borobudur. Then thursdays my final exam YAAAAYYYY!!!! but after that on friday she's already off to bali.. haha.. but hopefully we still  have a chance to hang out a bit before she leaves. . dunno if i'll have a chance to see her in bali. but yeah.. thats another blog. hehe

until next time

love you all
