Welcome November

Finally November is here =) For me, this is one of the special months in a year. Why? Because I first met my husband face to face in November. Additionally, this is his birthday month. He will be turning 31 this year!  Thinking back, I remember how happy we were back then when we're finally able to celebrate his birthday in Jakarta for the first time together. We were not even officially a couple at that time. Well, going to be one soon =P

Anyway ... I just want to post some updates. My business law midterm was so satisfying. I got a really good score. Praise the Lord! A day after I passed my driving test, I got my California ID. Even though in our plan it was kinda late .. we've already registered our marriage in the county clerk without it ... but still I think this will make my driving license process much much faster. All is good in God's timing then =)

I got my first halloween experience yesterday. Now I know what is trick or treat =P It's kinda fun actually when little children in costume knocking your door for candy ... some of them were really cute! But I also met some grown ups and teenager last night ... I personally think they are too big to be in costume thus spoiling the cuteness of trick or treat =P

Halloween means fall is here ... and of all the seasons, I think fall is the prettiest. I remember when I was small, how amazed I was looking at fall foliage pictures. I never thought trees can change their colors. Now I've seen it with my own eyes. So amazingly beautiful. When walking around De Anza college, I often stop just for admiring those leaves which are lying in my pathway. I always want to take their pictures, but oh well ... somehow I always in a hurry from class to class and always forget to take pictures =P I'll promise to post them soon!

Happy November everyone! =)

TB Test Result

When I woke up in the morning last Thursday, the first thing I did was checked my hand. To my utmost horror ... It had became that big! Gosh ... the final result from the nurse was positive with 14 mm bump. So whether I want it or not, I need to go and get a chest X-ray =( PS : Btw, have I told you that this bump will stay for months? =( Oh, and it is starting to itch too ... =( UPDATES: The bump disappeared after a month or so. There is no scar whatsoever on my hand. I heard that a lot of people who were born in Asia usually get a positive result. It is because they had TB Vaccination while they were little. Anyway, I did get my chest X-ray. There is nothing to worry, everything is good =)

Orlando / Florida Visit General Tips

Hi everyone!  I just got back from my Orlando, Florida trip. It was super fun! I am trying to write in detail about the park that we visited and the rides that we took .. however, as usual it will take some time before the posts are ready. Yes, I will divide the Florida trip stories into several posts.  Meanwhile, here are some general tips for visiting theme parks in Orlando, Florida. Let me start with where to stay. I don't remember if I have mentioned about this before in my previous posts ... So, basically I bought the theme parks vacation deal from Costco Travel. I did try to purchase the trip separately (hotel, car, theme parks tickets, and plane tickets) on several different travel websites like Expedia, Hotwire, Kayak, etc. However, I found that the price difference was really small. So we decided to skip all the hassle and just purchased the whole vacation package from Costco.  Costco gave us different total price depending on how long we stay and where we ...

15

What is it with 15? Can you guess? Well, I'm going to visit my parents in 15 more days =) I'm so thrilled and grateful at the same time. It's been almost four years since I got married and moved to the States. I've never been this far apart from my family ... and for such a long time. We are really close to each other, so it is really painful living away from home.  I can hardly wait for the trip. We started planning sometime in May and my Mom has been counting days ever since =) I look forward to spending quality time with them. I am also super excited about all the Indonesian food that I'm gonna eat. I've been craving these food for a while:  Kwetiaw Akiaw Mangga Besar (image from foodspotting.com ) Hokkian Noodle (image from makanmana )     Sate padang (image from AIS MIT website ) and much more! Seriously, Indonesia is a heaven for food lovers. Especially if you love spicy food.  In addition to travelling back to Indonesia, me and ...
