About NZ Once Again

Lots have been going on since I last blogged.

Went to NZ on August 10 to "test the water".
Andi landed several interviews in Auckland, and few more in Wellington.

To our surprise, by the time we landed back home, he got a confirmed job offer from NZPost Wellington.

Came as a surprise, krn kita ga nyangka bakal dapet secepet itu. God is good. He is gracious and we're so grateful that His favour is upon us.

Getting a job that fast, with that amount of salary really is mindblowing. Karena most people katanya bahkan susah dapet interview, ini not only we got interviews tp within a week dapet kerja. It's truly God's hands.

Bener deh, one day kalo Onya udah gede.. She can read this blog. If she scrolls further down, she'll find out about the story of God's faithfulness to us as family.

We've come a looong way. For those yg baca blog gua, dr jaman gw mewek2 krn "terpaksa" balik indo, jaman gw jerit2 declared kalo NZ is my promised land, jaman gw yakiiiiin kalo one day gw bakal balik lg ke NZ, jaman gw lost all the faith kalo gw bakal balik Nz, jaman gw 'pasrah' kalo emang ga balik lagi ke NZ,... Ya ampuuun... Tuhan itu baiiiik.

Sekarang I'm at a point where suddenly things are moving so fast. Andi udah flew to Wellington to work for NZ Post last week (Oct 14)... And by the look of it, he's loving it there.

Naga2nya bisa2 beneran pindah kesana in 2-3 months time.

Tapi jujur... I'm so scared.
Tuhan, I really am scared.

I'm not the most sociable person.
In fact, I suck when it comes to making new friends.
kalo udah kenal, yes gw bisa diajak gila2an... Tp kalo sama org baru kenal, gw ini pemalu pisan :(

Trus Onya gimana???
Dia disini uda bisa dibilang lancar ngomongnya. She speaks mostly Bahasa walo di skul dia full inggris.
Tapi gimana nanti dia disana? Gw takut dia 'kaget'... Disini org2 ngerti dia ngomong apa... Lah org bule mana ngerti bahasa indo :(
It'll takes time sampe onya kebiasa ngomong inggris.
And I intend to keep speaking 100% Bahasa sama dia kalo di rumah. Dia harus tetep bisa bahasa indo.

Ga kebayang gw kudu haha-hehe sama bule2 di playground.

Ga kebayang gw kudu nemenin Onya field trip ditengah mami2 bule..

Apalagi di Wellington org asia dikit bener.
Kalo di Auckland mah segambreeng.
Gw bakal feel inferior ga ya?

Duh... Makin deket makin takut.

*slap my face*
This is what you've been waiting for!
You've waited like.. What? Almost 9 freakin' years!!!
Ko sekarang malah jiper??
Ayo doong... Bodoh.

God, I need you.

.... and I miss Andi a lot :(

Bucket List

Yep. Been hearing a lot about people dropped dead suddenly. Mulai dari si Adjie Masaid, babenya si Joshua, then just now Emma's friend juga Dadaism died of heart attack. She was 29 years old, just got ,arrayed last October. Life is so fragile. That's why I really hate Andi each time I have to remind him over and over again about healthy lifestyle. Anyway, decided to make a bucket list for myself. 1. Back to NZ 2. Sky dive 3. Vacation to Russia 4. Having more than enough funds for Onya to pursue her degree in England, Oxford University preferably :) 5. Ngeliat Andi punya bodi keren 6. Buying a house for my parents 7. Karet tengsin dijual Hmmm....... Belon kepikiran yg lawn. Nanti di update lg deh

Pippy

We have a new addition in the family. We adopted a Jack Russell from SPCA.  Kenapa anjing? Karena seumur idup gua, for as long as I can remember, gua selalu punya anjing. Bukan cuma sekedar "miara" loh, tapi yg bener2 part of the family.  Yg paling membekas itu tentu aja Piko ama Picca my last two dogs.  Kakah died when I was about 5 months pregnant with Onya. Jadi Onya sama sekali ga sempet ketemu my dogs.  Makin kesini gw makin yakin, kalo animals play an important role in kids life (at least di idup gw lah). They learn about responsibility, caring and most importantly compassion. I wanna give a chance buat Onya ngerasain apa yg gw rasain ke Piko n Kakah. The gift of unconditional friendship they gave... And how u learn to love them too.  Kenapa adopt? Karena saya ini agak2 idealis tapi realistis. I love animals. Dogs especially.  Idealis karena gw mau do the right thing YG GW BISA. Realistis karena, as much I want to.... Gw ga akan sanggup kl disuru jadi...

Another Random Post

It is perhaps a monumental probability that I've simply forgotten what has kept me here. Or evidently, what I have fought so hard for. What wind could be so strong, it banishes hundreds of acres of oaks, yet still ever so gentle enough to persuade even the most delicate of buds to move with, barely, an inch-long effort. My God, seeing kunyuk with that robe triggered something inside. I miss her. I know she'd worked soooo hard to be where she is now. I miss those moments. Though I must admit, maybe, just maybe... Im not running for the same dream anymore. The passion still there, ... it's just become a smaller part of me. Could I have waited this long, and demolished five full years of emotional barricade? Nah. I've walked too far to even think of steeping back. What faith could have, so morbidly, left my judgement impaired? The first scar may be the deepest, but a scar is a scar. ... and one left to bleed without stitches is bound to come undone. Tapi guess what? Im hea...
