21 Jan-25 Jan 2012

Saturday, 21st Jan 2012 is a memorable moment: My three handsome boys with a sparkling traditional clothes celebrate their important days. Raqi and Wali were finishing a period of learning how to recite Qur'an (Khataman) and Abi was celebrating a thanksgiving (syukuran) for his transition period indicated by circumscission ritual. I looovvvve them and they look so gorgeous and adorable in that clothes. Muuaccchhh....

3 days from it, I'm supposed to leave them as 25th Jan is my departure time to OZ. Thanks God, my visa has not been granted until today and it means I will have delays. It's ok. I need to take breath while getting done with some bussiness and duties. However, I really hope my visa and my families' visa won't take that long... many activities are waiting for me in the UWS.... And look forward to being a student again...

My Visa.....I'm waiting for you!

Crossing 2011

It's been a year, I did not write anything in this blog. Time passes so quickly and 2012 is already there. Thinking back of 2011, innumerable things I did, joy and sorrow I shared, disappointment and achievement I felt. Here is a flash back of 2011:

Jan-March: Were boring days; I was a single parent with 3 active boys as their dad stayed miles away for his P.hD program. Riding and picking them up to and from their schools are among every day routines. Hot days or cold should be enjoyed with my old motorcycle. Yes, a car is parked nicely in the garage but I was so worried to drive it for Lombok's crazy traffic and careless drivers. Until one day, my second son should be hospitalized and with all my courage, yeee I drive in Indonesia, eventually. I my self even could not believe it. Sun shines.....!!!!!

Work place is even more boring, or ... (he he he, disgusting, wkkkk). In an educational institution, where I work, everybody seemed to forget why they are there: they are busy, instead to make any effort for getting 'position'? without considering rules and agreement?????? I hate them!

30 March: my 34th birthday.... a surprise from my men.

April-June: Struggling for a government scholarship, getting acceptance form a university in Australia, etc etc... and ta daaaa,I made it.

June: deciding to apply for another scholarship which I applied previously. Hoped to get my luck this time.

Agustus: having a very good time in my hometown mith families and relatives.... happy happy happy

6 Sept: Succesful Notification from a really prestigious scholarship (ALA) wooow wooow... a breaktrough in my life...at this moment I should withdraw my Dikti Scholarship. (Opportunities always in fighters' hand)

Sept-Nop: was very busy to finish all the duties in institution , prepare the documents needed, arrange everything for my men before leaving.... with mixed feeling of course

Des: another milestone: is awarded Alison Sudradjat Award

14 Des: having reception and pre departure briefing.... time is almost there...

.... waiting for 25 Jan 2011.... time to leave....!!!!
