Happy Birthday Special Girl!

When I was little, I often asked my mom for a baby sister. I wanted someone to play Barbie with =) My wishes did come true. However, it was a little bit too late. When I finally got a baby sister, I was already 9 years old. Hence, when she was at "playing Barbie" stage, I was already a teenager. We never really played together =P 

Still, I was very happy to get a little sister. Moreover, she was a pretty baby. When she was 2 or 3 months old, she got really sick. She had to stay in the hospital for a month! I was scared and sad. I remember how I used to cry every time I saw any baby-related TV commercial. I was afraid to lose this pretty little sister. Miraculously, she was healed and healthy again. This pretty little baby soon grew into a witty, strong-willed, loyal, and caring girl. And I love her ...

Even though we never really played Barbie together, we are really close. Well... of course there were also times when we fight. Who doesn't? =P We were never able to stay mad to each other for long though =) 

When she was almost 15

Anyway, when I got married and moved to the US, I was sad because I knew I couldn't see her turned into a young woman. I wouldn't be there on her sweet 17th birthday. I wouldn't be there on her first day of college... Now that we live so far away from each other, all I can do is to pray for her.

Along with her age, I pray that God will give her maturity and wisdom. I also pray that she will continuously grow in her faith in God. May God use her to be a blessing for others around her. Of course I also pray for her health, success, and happiness.    

Happy birthday special girl! I love you!

    Awww.. I'm so touched. Let me be your second little sister in the US. Being a kind older sister that you are, I believe you will take care of me with good food and stuff. You're welcome!

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 ...
