A Baby? (Part 2: The end)

My sister has gone back to medan… Raymond, after two days, hasn’t recovered yet. He still doesn’t want to eat anything… keep crying, hugging and cuddling sister all the time. After all consideration, mum and dad decides that it might be better for him to recover himself at his own home, rather than at this unfamiliar environment. So, a driver is called, sister and Raymond go back on 9.30. After the departure, the home felt so silent…

I never expect them to go back so fast… A lot of things that I have been planning hasn’t been done yet.. having photos with sis, ray, mum and dad, cooking with sister, having a walk with Raymond, going to saloon with sister… and lots more. Seems like I have to reserve it for next year… hahaha.. Farewell, Raymond.. C ya again next week at Medan! :P On that time, you must have been healthy and happy2 hor! I’m the one to be the guest next week.. huahaha

Right now.. I suddenly feel don’t know what to do.. ^^; heem.. any idea? Haha.. I’m still waiting for my CSC279..oooh.. what took you so long? Hahaha... Btw, most probably, I will be going back to sg at 7 July. From Batam :D

A Baby?

It is believed that having baby can bond the married couple closer together. However, the reverse can also be true, it can feed up your stress level, especially if it’s your first baby. Your well-organized day will soon become a dream… (glek, what kind of Technical Report am I trying to type? Haha..)

Ok, back to the true story.. These few days, I have been a babysitter! A babysitter who wakeup later than the baby ^^; Yup2, as I mentioned before, my big sister is back to hometown, along with her child, Raymond. They arrived home on Saturday, 10pm. Really2 wanted to start playing with him.. however, he needed rest… thus.. the first day end without any play…

Sunday.. Typical me, woke up at 9.30. Father, Mother, Sister and Raymond had had breakfast when I woke up >< After having a chop2 breakfast, then it’s the time to play! Yuhuuuii.. not a bad start, he wasn’t scared of me (is it because I look like his mother?) then, he wanted me to lift him. Glek. Then.. ok.. first lesson from my sister: learn how to hug and lift the little baby =.= hahaha.. He also out for a ride with his grandpa.. Have fun on the Sunday :D

The next day.. still woke up at 9.30 ^^;… I wasn’t a good babysitter, was I? but after that, I had fun with Raymond.. Played with him.. Fed him.. also helping my mother with her cooking. However, I didn’t manage to deliver lunch to my daddy as usual at 12.00. Like what I said in the first paragraph, the day won’t be as well organized as you want it to be anymore. The baby can’t just eat when it’s the time for him to eat.. or sleep as ordered.. Sometimes it was really unbearable.. however, when we saw his cute innocent face… we just melt ^^;

This happy and cheerful situation didn’t last for long.. the very next day, Raymond got sick. ><><.. I was really shocked. Sister called and asked her husband of the right medicine. The I run to buy the medicine. However, it didn’t really help. He kept vomiting as he drank the milk :’( Eventually.. in the evening… after 4 medicines.. as he woke up from the nap, we thought that he was getting well already.. no more vomiting, and he was much more cheerful already. Who knows, at the end of the day, around 10pm in the night, when we just going to sleep, he vomited again :’(.. poor Raymond. His mother wasn’t dare to give him milk anymore.. he must be very hungry as he felt asleep. :’(

Today, the situation isn’t getting better. He still keeps crying and don’t want to play, although he isn’t vomiting anymore.. hopefully that he isn’t getting fever. Currently.. He is taking a nap.. (that’s why the babysitter slackin and writin blog :P) hahaha..

Here, I want to explain abit with what I mean with “feed up the stress level” by having baby. Must have been a bit self-explained as you read the blog. My sister and his husband, my dad and mom… as Raymond got sick, looked much more tense. Mum and dad arguing on what medicine should be taken, what to be done.. Amin koko was worrying and kept asking for his son situation, my sister who confused with whose advice to be followed.. Cleaning all the vomiting trace, washing the cloth… And me stuck in the middle of them, don’t know what to do.. It really needs a lot of courage to take care of a baby. Another story before I closed this blog… Yesterday, my sister in China also called home. She said that her son just get poured by hot water. It was when she was washing the dishes, and the child played at latter where she put the hot water termos. Only because that bit of ignorance. Then her husband was angry of why she lets him played with the termos… and take him to the hospital. It is settled now.. but still having baby isn’t easy, is it? ^^;

ok.. To early to talk about it :P.. Going to shop now! :D

Wish Raymond will get well soon,
Erlin.D

Some Updates ^^

Just a short blog this time. These few days, I can’t sleep well =.=… don’t know why… and as it is getting late and late.. my mind began to think of some silly stupid things ><

Today my big sister will come home! Huraaayyy ^^.. She will sleep at upstairs with me.. hopefully this sleeping trouble will get cured… wait wait.. or all these happened because I drink too much tea before sleepin? Hahaha… Btw.. as an update from the previous blog.. yep.. I did rent comics ^^;.. a lot ^^;.. and out from my own consciousness, all the comics I borrowed were detective serial: Clamp Campus Detective, Q.E.D, Detective Q, and currently: 11 books of kirika and kabayashi detective series. Sigh. Total of 20 books in these few days.. wooow O.o… Most probably that my mind wanders after reading all those murders and make me hard to fall asleep ^^;

Oh ya.. another news.. Since the world cup began, black out only happened 4times. Amazing! Compared with the first week of my arrival at TB.. where I really lost counts of the black out. 2-3 times in a day, with duration of 2-4 hours. I didn’t even dare to open computer that time. Hahaha.. Alrite.. that’s all for this time :D.. I’m still waiting for my CID result.. hem.. This sem.. my result is 1A+ (but it’s GE!! ><), 2A, 1B+ and 2B(and both are Core!!) ^^; Not very sad... but I need to ganbatteee a lot this sem!

Cheerz,

And The Holiday Continues....

Wow! It has been more than 1 week without a post! Time really flies… especially holiday’s ^^;

I have really been relaxing in this holiday. (Almost) everyday.. wake up at 9.30.. brush my teeth, have breakfast… help mommy to cook, have lunch.. (notice how short it is between breakfast and lunch? ^^).. bring lunch for daddy at shop.. help watching shop and read novel.. back.. help preparing dinner… have a ‘grand’ dinner (grand means eat lots more than breakfast and lunch.. if u’re curious) then wash the dishes… watch movie and have a nice chat with mum and dad until I feel sleepy and sleep again.. ^^;… sometimes.. the time I sleep is more than the time I wake up… ><.. alrite.. not something to be proud of.. ^^;.. however.. I’m enjoying it :P

During this ten days, many things happened. Albert has gone back to Singapore.. (sob sob).. Brother has moved to his new house at Sydney… (Sob sob also.. can’t go to see it.. mum and dad plan to go there on idul fitri… want to go toooooooo ><) hahaha.. just joking.. Wishing you good days in the new house! Oh… yes, Albert has also moved to new place.. (sob sob again).. haha.. can’t wait to check it out soon o^.^o Hopefully that you wont get too tired with all the moving stuffs hor :D.. and jia you in playing monopoly!! I know you can do it!!! Huahaha... Glad to hear that your place is pleasant ^^

Oh ya… My auntie has came back from penang again, from her regular checkup. Seems like the things not going very well this time :’(.. she is weaker than the last time. Pray that she will be fine soon.. I miss her bakery… ^^ Inche has back to Medan. Horas Che! Must have a good holiday after one month of studying hor :P.. She said that our rooms has been like store room ^^;.. messy and dusty. Heeem… but should be ok.. btw, we’ll be roommate again next year! Yeah ^^v we got our first choice.. never thought that hall 14 will get gcp.. sigh.. =.=.. another thing, hall 6, you know, the one with 141 pts last year, drop almost half to 70+!! Unbelievable! (don’t know to be happy to angry?) haha.. however, the man hcp for hall 6 is crazy.. 171.1 (if I’m not wrong).. Arianto said that it’s just 0.1 difference from Guntur’s point, which is 171.1 They assumed that there must be some politic inside.. because the room is wanted by JCRC. Heem? Is it true? Anyway, eventually, Guntur got hall 9, but prefer to move and stay at JW.. What a story! Oh ya, another news.. the Gigahertz will be left for 7th management committee… hurraaay!! V^^v (you’re reading the blog of the slacking committee member :P).. hahaha..

Ok2.. back to local news, internet at tb is really2 worth to get a big sigh from me.. slower than last year, I felt. I didn’t even manage to schedule my timetable… what will happen with the registration later? ><.. btw.. this time, I note that we got 2 hour for registration :D.. not bad, huh? May be I need to went to Juni’s place to register… I managed to get my timetable schedule at her place… Although both of us are same at TB… Not fair! Why hers is faster? Modem problem? Computer problem? (looking hopelessly to my 128MB com) hahaha.. Oh ya, Juni has just had his 20th b’day.. on 18th. You should be able to figure out the month from her name :P.. Happy b’day hor. So sorry that I got headache on the day itself and didn’t manage to go out with you =.=.. will make it up to you this week :D.. haha.. Btw, to your curiosity, Juni is my auntie, although she is just one year older than me :P

Yesterday, I have just finished all the novels I have.. (that’s why now I’m blogging instead of reading :P) haha.. Few Agatha Christie’s novels and one children story book “The Thief Lord”. I never heard about the writer of the children book before.. but I can say that I prefer it than the rest of the novels. Huahaha.. (does it mean that I’m not grown up yet? ^^;)… The children novel language is much more direct.. while the detective’s novel.. alrite.. maybe to put it simple.. I understand more English vocab in the children novel than the latter. :P.. huahaha.. There are 4 books I read: The death on the nile, The murder on Orient Express, The moving fingers, and The postern of faith, chronologically. The first and the second one present hercule poirot :D. While the third one, it is miss maple as the hero. And the forth one.. well, a couple of husband and wife. ^^.. I love the second book’s plot the most ^^.. I managed to predict the murder on the first book.. and the third and fourth one get really boring until I slept while reading it several times ^^;. Btw, most of it includes some French words. The simple ones, of course. I felt thankful that I at least learnt some French before ^^. While on the children book, the setting is at Italia.. Venice.. thus I got some italian vocab :P Alrite2.. enough with the books.. but.. anyway.. I don’t know what to do without novel now.. want to watch TV.. but the antenna is not so good that I can hardly see a picture in it.. hahaha.. may be I need to start borrowing comic :D :D.. but afraid to be addicted later… sigh.. borrow? Not? Borrow? Not?

Oh.. another news before I end this blog… My big sister… Merlin.. is coming to TB next week! With her cute cun sen.. kyaaa :D :D.. looking forward for them… Mum has been planning to cook some delicious stuff for us.. o^.^o..

Fatter and fatter…
Buonanotte and.. arrivederci! (Italian: good nite and.. good bye!)
Erlin.D

Another news: Kyaaa.. Ureca payment has just been accepted ^^.. happy2 although it has been late for a month.. :D :D.. that will be my last ureca payment :’)

The Journey

Alrite... It’s a long loooong journeyyy… From Surabaya, we transit at Jakarta for 4 hours. Fly back to Medan at 12.45. Reach Medan punctually at 2.45. Then.. have a rest for a while at sis’ home. We’re thinking of staying over night there.. but out from expectation, amin koko is sick! (never see it before). Seems like it’s bad enough.. as he vomited 3 times from airport to home :(.. All of us are so worried… Later.. thinking that it might be better for us to go back to tb instead of bothering amin koko, we called taxi and went back to tb at 5 ^^;.. doeeng.. haha.. unexpected.. but afterall, it felt so nice to eventually reached home again :D.. So.. alohaaa :D.. here I’m again :D at TB :D.. felt happy2.. but.. terribly bad mood everytime I tried to connect to internet.. it’s so so slooww.. I can’t even plan for my subject registration.. how am I going to register it later? Haiizz.. maybe I should try to play at mid night.. who know it might get faster. Hahaha.. Alrite.. 4 pm now.. time to prepare for dinner :P.. haha… Albert is coming back to Medan today. Should be reaching soon :D

After 2 weeks at Indonesia,

Erlin.D

Back From Surabaya :D

As I have mentioned in the last post, I went there for a week.. Accompanying my mum to attend relative wedding party :D.. Well.. It’s only one of the ‘reasons’. Hahaha.. I went to Surabaya 6 years ago.. That time, I was accompanying my mother for attending grandpa b’day celebration.. I meet my cousins there… we played a lot that time… now.. after so long no see… How are they now? Erlin was going there to check it out! Huahaha…

On last Friday, the first day we reached there, being picked up by Ationg ku and Awang ku family. Have dinner at “Tempo Doloe” restaurant. Although I was hungry that time, I was shocked with the amount of food they ordered! 4 kinds of fishes! Huaa ><… eventually.. didn’t manage to finish all of them… thus.. da pao.. huahaha..

After such a grand dinner.. went back to grandma’s place. There.. after so many years, I meet Arief and Andi again… Arief is one year younger than me, out from the fact that he is tall now, nothing change much.. Andi, is Arief’s younger brother.. but Wow! He is even taller than his brother ^^;..His mother herself said that he is goodlooking ^^;.. alrite, it’s true. Hahaha.. That night, we stayed at grandma’s house.

The next day… early in the morning.. Ayong ie ie came.. and brought us breakfast.. after that.. we began to shop.. at Tunjungan Plaza if I’m not wrong :P.. then.. have lunch at Duck’s King restaurant.. then.. shop2 again… until night. Hahaha.. Tonite, we stay at ayong ie ie house :D meet another cousin there: Alwi. I really really have no idea who is he at the first place ^^;.. he really changed a lot.. hahaha…

Sunday morning, Juni and I slept like a pig. (Mum has already waken up at 4 am) We slept until my other cousin, chink2, came and shocked me. Huahaha… She didn’t change at all, still so sooo friendly with anybody :D.. Being with her for 5 minutes, felt like we have already knew each others for years. She is the same age as me.. and going to Taiwan soon for her university live :D.. I believe you will success there!.. So.. Sunday.. what to do? Shopping again :P.. We went to one mall.. (which name I can’t remember.. something like ITC?) shopped for a while.. then went to Pasar Atum. Being called ‘Pasar’, I thought that the place must be hot.. and.. ‘cheap’.. huahaha… later.. found out the reversed of it… Alrite.. it’s air conditioned.. and guess what.. the price there! Million for 1 dress!! Ckckck.. =.=.. can’t afford it there.. thus.. again.. I did windows shopping.. huahaha..

The next day.. felt that haven’t spent enough at ITC, Ching, Juni, and I went there again. This time.. it’s really like a party for us.. (alrite.. yesterday was accompanied by mother :P).. hahaha.. We entered almost every shopped.. and guess what.. we walked from 1 until 6.. but haven’t even finished the first floor ^^;.. doeeng… but bo pien, we need to went back soon.. and then have dinner at XO restaurant.. haha.. btw.. one thing I noticed, breadtalk had opened their branch there. The queue of people at the cashier make me think if they were giving free buns or what.. so crowded! I believe it’s sale at Indonesia is better that it’s sale at Singapore. Another brand, breadLife is also quite popular. They said that both brand have some relations.. but I didn’t investigate further… :P

Tuesday.. here came the wedding party!! We have been busy from morning… Accompanying mum’s to ‘phang tea’, have a ceremonial lunch.. then waiting for makeover.. hahaha.. we finished just ontime. After some pic shoots, we went for the wedding party.. wooow..it’s very crowded already.. and one more woow.. I got the red table :P.. hahaha.. the place is really2 nice.. the decoration.. 2 thumbs up. We reach there at around 6.45.. got 10 sweet bites for us waiting at the table. Finished the cake, they add in more biscuit for us.. woow.. Then2, the waiter pour tea.. and asked whether I want sprite or plain water.. wow.. 2 drinks at a time? Haha.. the party started at 7 o’clock. Another shock for me. Then.. not long after the course, the waiter came again and offer us lemon tea. Eventually.. I ate with 3 drinks infront of me ^^;.. they changed the plate everytime it’s new menu.. and filled the drink everytime you drink it.. ckckck.. eventually.. I felt full at the 5th menu ><.. The party finished right before 10. but we took photos until 11.. and then.. went back to ayong ie ie house… and ZzZzz

The next morning.. we sleep soundly until late ^^;.. after that.. ayong ie ie and awangku took us for Safari.. :D.. it’s so nice… :D.. the first time that I saw zebra so sooo close.. even can touched them (they just stand outside the car!) finished with the short safari, they accompanying us to Kretes.. It’s a place like Brastagi. But, I think this Kretes is much higher than Brastagi.. the pressure there is really low that I became dumb for most of the time =.=.. enjoying the scenery until afternoon.. then went for some tea break.. bakso + sate kelinci.. then went for the real dinner :P.. huahaha.. the restaurant was very famous for it’s roasted chicken. I ate a lot there ^^ Back from there, Ali ku took us to CitraLand. It was designed to look like Singapore. They called it.. “The Singapore of Surabaya”. They got the merlion for sure.. also the fountain at suntec city! And also, the bridge near the fullerton hotel :D.. of course, they are in smaller size. all looked so so cute. ^^ We also have supper there.. roasted corn, drink, and also es khacang :P.. haha.. then, again, they took us to de boliva.. an ice cream restaurant.. the ice cream they ordered got alcohol inside.. hik… almost drunk. done with icecream.. next stop: martabak! Huahaha.. trust me.. I almost can’t breath when I reached home ^^;

Thursday… the last day before we back to Medan… Today.. we went to visit ie ie’s and aku’s shops. From cosmetic to Chinese medicine shop. Take some ‘free’ medicine and ‘free’ cosmetic stuff from there.. haha.. Then, we went back to grandma’s house.. very2 tired.. but then.. after resting for awhile, we went out again! To Giant Hypermarket.. and to our luck, we managed to get into Ice House (^^) which actually, will only be grandly opened by tomorrow. Lucky that I got some photos inside before being kicked out. Huahahaaa.. free and nice, anyway :P… It was night already when we end the journey. We have a big dinner at grandma house.. chitchat for awhile.. then went to sleep at 10 :D

Friday… The time is 5.30… and I still can’t open my eyes.. although knowing that I must must depart at 6.30.. haha.. eventually, got up at 5.45, had a duck bath, then did final packing :D.. Almost all of our relative sent us to airport.. hik2.. :’) so touched. (although I knew it’s mum that matter to them.. huahaha..) We took Batavia air this time. At 8.45, we flew to Jakarta… Sayonara Surabaya… Sayonara Meme,Chink,Fely,Arief,Andi,Alwi,Nini :D.. Thanx so much for all of you!!
