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

Lavender and Butterfly

My very first (and probably my last) tattoo. Why lavender ?  Because I love the smell.  I love the colour.  Lavender is pretty much the only plant that stays alive in my garden. It thrives in pretty much any weather with very little care. It lives with a big bunch of other lavenders but it can also lives on its own little bundle. It shows strength, and grace. Butterfly means beauty. Not just superficial beauty... but beauty after a storm. Beauty that was earned.  Like, after it went through struggles from a cocoon. Plus, you see butterfly (normally) in a great weather. Adds the beauty to the surroundings, like a balance in the universe.  Psalm 23:6 , is what I really resonate in my life.  That no matter what, no matter where, no matter how many bad decisions I’ve made.... God’s goodness and mercy is always with me. That I’m okay. That the God who made the universe loves me still.  That regardless how fucked up I am, His goodness and mercy is always wi...

A Wife's Heart

Postingan kali ini buat Andi. Feel so blessed beyond words punya suami kaya beliau. Walo banyak rese n nyebelinnya juga. He works really hard. I mean REALLY hard. I know I've complained about him being too busy, but lately he changed. Yes, dia masih sibuk banget di kantor. Yes, dia masih suka 'nyetrap' gw di mobil suru tunggu. Tapi I know that family is his top priority. The house is almost done. Andi spent hours last Sat and Sun buat bebersih rumah. Gw ga boleh ikut. "masih debuan banget" - gitu katanya. He knows Im allergic to dust and frankly, what can a pregnant woman possibly do? Ga mungkin juga kan gw ngangkat2 furniture. Naek tangga aja suka engap. Dapet laporan dari Otoy, Andi ngangkat2 barang ampe mukanya merah, ampe kringetan ngeces2... Gw tau dia pasti cape banget. Tapi begitu pulang he brought nothing but his big, warm smile. "Udah. Nanti gw sekali lagi kesana, finalize bersih2 - then you can come. Tuh gw beliin kelapa, mau diminum sekarang ga?...
