its all the gloomy weather's fault.
i got up reasonably late, had a not-too-much-not-to-little breakky/lunch, just enough to last me through the 10km hike. and most importantly, i managed to avoid a single puff. changed to my trackies&jumper and drove off to this place which is usually, (on a normal friday) 30 minsdrive from my house. but the fact that its long weekend, heaps of jakarta ppl come to bandung for holiday, traffic jam everywhere. and 30 mins easily turned to one hour.
anyway, then when i met my grandpa there, he goes
"lets cancel for today. its raining quite heavily, im still gonna walk. but strongly suggest that you dont. we'll walk again on tuesday instead?"
so now, i am back at my parents office, in sportsgear and thongs, hair tied up, list goes on. but nvm, usually on fridays, not many young suppliers/guests arrive at the office.
happy china new year to everyone btw (before i forget).
and so how was my CNY?
well the night before i had dinner at my grandparents which was good to see some old familiar faces. relatives that i havent seen for years. many "omg. youve grown so much", or "hey, your dimple is still there" or even "when you were little you love singing, come sing us a song". those questions or remarks that left me with nothing to say except give them a nod and a forced smile. anyway, then we played like some random games, which got everyone involved. anyway, the funniest thing was that, my grandma wrapped all the presents, and like obv she got them all. so then it was like a doorprize kinda thing. everyone got a present of course. and grandma must be short of a couple and she didnt have time to buy some more. so unlucky father, he got this photoframe thing and it had a couples name on them with like lovehearts all over it. HAHA. THE PHOTOFRAME WAS FROM SOMEONES WEDDING GIFT. LIKE YOU KNOW WHNE YOU GO TO A WEDDING AND THEY GIVE YOU A WEDDING SOUVENIER!!
and the next day we went to my grandparents again, cos it was the chinese new year actual day. and ang pao! there were only three aunties/uncle though. and so total i got four red packets (incl. grandparents). i opened them in the on the way back home, and all the four packets contain 200thou rupiah exactly. thats like less than 30 bucks aus each. and my mom forgot to gimme in the morning, so then in the car she said "remind me to give you angpao once we get home". and i said"no, dont need". awwwww, HIGH is a changed person. fine fine, frankly speaking, i really really really want a mac book air for my birthday thats why. its around 20mil rupiah here, which is like 2800aus ish.
shit. my birthday is like in five weeks exactly.
5 weeks till i am eighteen.
what should i do for my remaning 5 weeks being young&seventeen?
also, ive decided to become a full veg every tuesdays&fridays.
and that is definite. i mean, it is posted and you guys can be my witness.
so my reason being is that, i feel that i have to give back something to God especially for being with me always the whole London trip. you know there, i dare to sleep in the house by myself and there was not a single night i had nightmare!
damn. i just realized that 14 of march falls on friday.
nvm. the more i sacrifice, the better it is:)
