journey back to surabaya and bali

looking down from this 8th floor when tuesday looms to be very decent, i've found myself swept away in joy as my long holidays will fall shortly which is by tomorrow

a stunning thought of seeing my adorable mother and respectable daddy has always been a biggest wish of this month, and i've promised them to pay a visit in this month of july before august wraps me in terrible hectiness

a journey to surabaya, a city that i completed my 7 years of living, has always been sweet, if not, memorable

having a chance to play with my smart nephew, ben, is one of the best reasons but seeing my loved ones is what i want most as family is the only and best source of energy for years for me

in this family, either you are wrong or right, either you are big or small, either you are rich or poor, either you are buddhist or catholic or christian, either you are chinese or bataknese, you'll be loved based on your characters

in this family, deeds are above anything including words
in this family, openness tied up nicely with honesty
in this family, i've been loved truthfully and sincerely
in this famliy, i present my decent life

Still remember a couple nights ago when my "memes" texted me for simple question namely when will you be back again to surabaya? and i said i'd be there shortly for mixed reasons as i've been missing you all much and i want to attend my high school reunion on saturday, 2 august 2008

suddenly, life gets easier when a moment to be with loved ones is exposed
suddenly, love gets its best way to find peaceful nutshell in this humid city
suddenly, i know i shall thank to our Dear Lord to have loved much my family, big families, in the real term

now i'm counting hours as i'll fly tomorrow morning at 6.70am as my packing has been ready as bali is listing me up for exploring kintamani, ubud and perhaps, tulamben and menjangan to satisfy my diving appetite

now i'm thinking of asking my nephew, ben, to join me for swimming more as he needs to exercise more as obesity is now really grabbing him ruthlessly

now i'm hoping for one night, or two nights with decent old-high-school-friends for pulling back some of the nicest times of our life back in middle 80's when adolescence is the middle name of us

now i'm realising that i'm wiser and calmer than before as some sidekicks remind me of john mcenroe due to his explosive approaches in wimbeldon tennis game

now i know i'm here for this wonderful life and i won't waste it even in a second

...i want to live this life to the fullest...
