Quick update

I promise to my friend that i will keep my life updated, i mean my new journey in perth. Some of you are aware that i have moved city and some do not know yet. Yes, i have been living in Perth now, exactly 2 weeks and 2 days. Tony and i decide to move to perth as he got a very good job offer there. I support him and i wouldn't mind having adventure so here we are..

I have to say leaving Sydney is one of biggest decision in my life. I have had most of everything in sydney for these 5 years. home, family, job, good friends, and entertainment. Oh importantly the suburb i live in is the best place to live in sydney ( i guess ).. I simply love my neighbourhood and i thought i would never find a perfect neighbourhood like One..

I came here as student, studied then get married, work and so on. A normal life cycle , but it has never been better.. Sydney has been part of my life.. I even never miss Jakarta that much (except for my family and friends ) but seriously i will always miss sydney..

Sydney has given me much, it taught me to be stronger, to be mature, to be reliable and to grow up quicker. Sydney has brought me to closer family members, closer friends and it brought me to tony...

I never think too much what it will be like to be in Perth, i was thinking it is still Australia so there should be not much difference. Well, It does and it does not.

As a city and its life.. Perth is a modern city with less number of people, people are friendly and polite... the city itself give you a very homely feeling... It is quiet in most of suburb, cleaner, park everywhere, u can find lots of nice estates..Public transport here are clean, pretty punctual for time schedule . However it operates frequently less especially on weekends. People usually drive, oh good thing you don't have to pay toll / highway fee. Traffic is less, only peak hours are bad .. Weather is a bit extreme. Say summer it reaches 40 in daytime then drop to 20 in night.

what i admire most about Perth is the place / suburbs i visited mostly are clean and organised. i am not quite sure is it maybe because i live in southern suburbs ? But its not, i went to some areas and its all nice and clean. Not like Sydney half of the suburbs are pretty scary and dangerous.

I am lucky enough i live in good neighbourhood in perth. I never feel like to go to city when i am here ( despite of work i need to go)... House are relatively cheaper than sydney too. O plus point u can find a nice big park in each estate / suburb.

I have to admit i was quite moody few times in early week, i bragged how i miss sydney and complaint this city is too quiet for me. But now i do enjoy the peacefulness and start to adore each part of perth. Tony enjoys living here since the first day.

The only thing i cant adapt yet is the hot weather, as i am more winter cold person.

I found the asian groceries here are relatively pricey than sydney. I assume sydney has more shops so the have to smash the price lower.

I heard from people saying find a job in perth is easier than other city. I am not quite sure too, but it might be true , i found more opportunity in hospitality field.

Right, i have started to work since this week. I chose to work in hospitality, if thing gets better and as per plan,
I'll do more management hospitality.

I started to enjoy my days, i suppose once i get back to work i feel more alive.. I also started to have new friends
(not much Indo's so far). My housemates are both taiwanese and they are very nice.

What else?

I guess i could only tell you this much...

I promise i will bring up more stories next time... ;)

You guys take care.....!!!!

We are young

2012 has gone and i realise clock is ticking even faster... Its 2013 now, the third month of the year .. Hey im getting older...

I wasn't that aware couple months ago but when i looked at bathroom mirror one day, i know i am getting older..

I can see wrinkle next to my lip, darker circle below my eyes.. And the color of my skin is not as bright as i used to have..

I have to admit, i always think i am just over 20ish something. Reason is asian here does look younger than their age. People mostly think i am a uni student and i love the feeling they think so.. Sometimes i proud to say i am 28 hey when they guess i am 23 or 24. Well, thats why i like to dress casually shorts t shirt and sneakers..

In fact i never think how mature i am or how old i am now cos i enjoy my life too much... Its true.. And o please do feel that you are young..

Its kinda bad bcos of that, i tend to buy teenager stuff, lets say i bought baby g watch still ( o my god isn't it) , i bought a very cute backpack recently ( damn high school bag).. And so on so on..

Blame me but a part of me i am still kid.. (i love kids)

Back to clock is ticking quicker, i also realise that my parents are getting old... My parents recently were visiting us here, and my dad looks pale and tired.

Well everyone will be in that stage, no one is eternally young...

I look at my mum and i feel deeply sad.. She has been working hard for the whole decades.. She is still... Her hair is getting little, her wrinkles is obvious and her leg is getting weak..

I cant describe how do i feel but it made me respect her even more..

Good way, they are taking their life more relax now. They travel a lot for the past few years.. They know, time is ticking and that is what mum teach me.. Do what u want do what u like while u still can...

And i do mum.. I always remember what u say to me..

Im still young and i will cherish every moment i have, i will travel as much as i can.. Will Work hard save money and enjoy life...taking care of myself too.

Happy "young" day people ...!!
