Hi Hi

I'm back!!! It's been such a long time... I had the urge to write, but really got no time!!! Finally today I managed to see the sun after I finished my work... Hahaha...
Well.. my last day from previous job was on 21st April. I managed to have steamboat (Ma la huo guo) with my 2 close friends from OH at Chinatown. They have accompanied me during my days there. We often have lunch and sometimes dinner together.
Next day, on 22nd, I flew back to my hometown in Jakarta, together with PY, who last minute managed to book flight and take leave from her office. We spent 5 days and 4 nights there. My parents were very happy with our arrival. We had dinner at home, asking my mom to cook sour soup (sayur asem), petai cooked with prawns, potatoes, and chillies, bought nasi uduk, yellow fried chicken, fried tofu and tempe, and some chicken organs. I ate until very full. PY drank lots of sour soup 'cos according to her, she would get smarter by drinking it.. Hahaha.. never heard of it before...
The next morning, we had turtle soup for breakfast, my mom's cooking for lunch, and we tried Chinese food at the new open restaurant in Muara Karang. After lunch, PY, me and mom went to Taman Anggrek. PY shopped lots of Polo shirts for her friends (Mom bought one for me and one for my hubby too.. hehehe.. thank you Mummy...).
We went for 2 days 1 night trip to Bandung and Puncak, together with my mom, eldest sis, my cousin, Canel and Fong2, and the driver. In Bandung, we managed to visit Tangkuban Perahu, Vipassana Graha Temple in Lembang, had rabit satay as a snack, batagor, mie kocok, mixed bakso (meat ball), es sekoteng for lunch, and at night we had dinner at Fashion Pasta. We ate outdoor, enjoying the cool air and watching the view of Bandung city from afar. Food was so so.. Next time I might try to eat at The Peak.. The next afternoon, we spent our time at few factory outlets, such as Heritage, Cascade, Branded Club, etc. On the way back, we went through Puncak. Stopped at Brasco Factory Outlet to buy some shirts and jeans, then had our dinner at Bumi Aki and took some pictures of the mountain before it turned dark.
Last day, we had dim sum for breakfast at Ah Yat Abalone Restaurant. My uncle (ku zhang) treated us. Food is not bad, but they served the dessert very slow. In the afternoon, PY and I was shopping at Mega Mal, then went to airport, fetched by my mom and dad. They sent us off and made sure that we were going in.
On my trip here, I managed to meet up with Apeng and Irene (we knew each other during my study time in Beijing, and last met 12 years ago), Vitri (my English course - ILP's friend), Santi (my high school friend), and David (to get the MS Office and anti virus CD from him.. hehehe..), thank you Pid.
I took some pictures of the house including the new house built by my dad.. He explained a lot about his concept and thinking. He built few tanks to save on water (water taken from the rain), put transparent roof so that the sunlight can go through the room, put up the ventilator so that the light and wind could go into the house, and some feng shui stuff on why he built the house in that way. Really proud of him... I hope I can go back often and meet up with them.
On 27th, I started my new job, back at where I worked before. I used those four days to the maximum by learning from the previous Cost Controller. Her last day was last Thursday. She explained quite a lot about what she did, and it really helped me doing things for this closing. Too bad I didn't manage to do outlet inventory with her 'cos I was having MC System Training in the hotel. Anyway.. I went back home quite late for those 4 days and today I managed to see the sun when I went back home.. feel very happy.. hahahaha...
And I just realized that in my new job, I become a section head in this department. Feel like dream... 'cos I really never thought of becoming one. I just hope I can do my job well and make my parents proud with what I'm doing. So that I can prove to them that their effort would not go into the drain. I'll jia you ba!!!
Glad to see the old friendly faces again around me. And the canteen food.. is still the best of the best.. Hahaha.. need to control my intake.. otherwise.. ah gu will get FATTER... hahaha...
Ok lah.. wrote quite a lot already.. time to take rest... Good night everyone...
