Expect the Unexpected

Good Day Everyone! :)
So it's Monday again which means back to work for some people. I hope everyone has had a good Monday so far.. If I can share with you all on how my Monday has treated me so far? then I'd probably say pretty nice. Started off the day with such a nice and fresh feeling, followed by doing some errands accompanied by a strong headache I got from yesterday, duhh.. But the day has got any better when I decided to have this simple sweet treat for myself. <3

It's sweet enough, isn't it? 

I was supposed to post a blog yesterday, but since I couldn't manage to finish the whole thing with a headache as an obstacle, I decided to finish it today.

So on Saturday evening, my friend and I had a plan to go to the church together on the Sunday, which made me fantasizing on how good it would be to visit a church again after such a long time being absent from one, and couldn't be any better than having a companion to go there, I just felt so excited until I felt asleep.
Unfortunately, the only thing I got as soon as I woke on Sunday morning was headache, I was not feeling too well. Since my excitement of going to church is way stronger than the headache I had, I decided to get it going.

Yeayy! I arrived earlier as expected before the mass, I decided to have breakfast while waiting for my friend and realized that he was actually being late, pretty late. And the whole imaginations I got in mind about going to church was just gone as soon as we were told by the church member that the church was actually full and there wasn't any space left. My friend also told me that the church usually has enough space for people, just not for yesterday. Well, I was a bit gutted in the first place but then I realized it wasn't really anybody's fault. I couldn't really blame my friend about him being late. Maybe it was just meant to be that way and I will have to come back another week which I'm really keen to.

Since our plan of going to church was destroyed and buried, we decided to chill around for a bit just for some conversations cause we haven't actually met at all before. The lunch we had was actually really good, the locals call it "cha sio pui" and it is one of the dishes I've missed most from my hometown. The food won't get any better without such a drink like Barley. I was just happy about what I had for lunch.

And we suddenly also came out with the idea of going for a movie since we haven't been to the movie for ages. (it's sad, isn't it?). Godzilla is the one we decided to watch, it was an ok movie, not great enough to put away the yawn from him. And for your information, the headache I got kept following me the whole day, it has always been with from the beginning of the day and I was successful enough to put it away by trying to enjoy my time with my friend. We finished off the day by having drinks before we headed home.
What a day. It was such a great day for me. It was just special in so many ways. Good thing that I have such an amazing friend to spend the day with, started off by the rejection of entering church, unplanned movie thing, drinks drinks and our random and inspiring conversations.

Totally a blessed Sunday!
Despite of being rejected for entering the church, we managed to turn simple things to be our own happiness, just enough to fill up the Sunday. So thank you to a friend of mine (which I can't mention the name for now) for such a great Sunday. Hope to at least succeed our delayed church mission next time :)

Last but not least , 

Let's hope and pray a for great days ahead this week, everyone!

With Love

"Old" Friends

Holla....
Back to Monday again..  Some may feel terribly lazy to start off the week, some may even feel over excited to see what the next days have to offer. In regard of everybody's feeling today, I hope everybody is having an amazing Monday..

Since I managed to finish some paper-works need to be done for today by noon, I guess today's blog will be a long one.. :)

So, when I almost finished my paperwork around an hour ago, I got this scenario in my head where I suddenly thought of nothing else but my pals back in New Zealand. The scenario was pretty much filled with all the memories made in the past. Therefore I decided to write about some of my most amazing friends back in New Zealand.

The first person would be...
What I can recall about this first person is countless, endless. There were so many memories made with him during my stay in New Zealand. I guess I can proudly say we know each other too well. From clothes we were wearing on daily basis, our crushes, our favourite foods and boozes, our favourite hang out places, our favourite midnight hangout ideas, our ATM card pin number, how messy our rooms are, and thousands more to follow..
He pretty much knew what I was thinking in some scenarios, and it also happened the other way around..
I have always treasured him as a precious one, it was started from the moment I knew him, the moment he did a "confession" outside the church, and until now.
So, let me show you some of our crazy captured moments..

Remember this? It was back in 2011 when we were both still "innocent". It was taken at HuluCat Anzac Avenue. 

I surely miss this hair :D

and I just love posting the picture which you look like such a mess :p (it is still cute tho :))

our not so pretty facial expression

Thank you for taking part in my birthday celebration through the past two years

and another thank you for the little surprise on my 20th birthday. Something I won't surely forget :)

HA HA. trying to confess your love to me? Don't even think about it. :p

I guess this happened at our last dinner before my departure? :(

one of the most precious moment we had? Its finally our graduation day! :

Thank you for being my most lovely yet bet competitor at class and congratulation for being a top scholar !

Last but not least, your legendary pose.. Can't get away with that huh? I haven't seen them in your profile pictures. :D

I guess I will have to at least introduce him after all of the photos above. So he is my Mr. Danny Nguyen, or I prefer calling him Linh, indeed.

Quite a long one for the first person I guess. Can't manage to upload all photos we got otherwise it would be an endless blog for today :)

I just wanna say it is really sad for me to be part from him. Despite of the distance, I just wanna wish all the best for you in whatever you are pursuing right now. Hope to see you sometime <3

Done with the first person, I am still full of energy to write about the second one. 

And the person would be...

This time would be more than one person. I was so lucky to spent most of my last days in New Zealand with them. Since I am the youngest one among them, I would say its totally acceptable to call them sisters.. To be living with them for few months will definitely be one of the unforgettable experiences I've had in my life. They have been there for me through the goods and bads. I have learnt so much from them from such small things like cooking, baking, cleaning, how to enjoy life throughout the sadness, and more of other life lessons. Every moment I had spent with them was the one of the best moments in my life. Words can't fully describe how much I value them in my life. Nothing like thinking about bringing them foods to be enjoyed together at our flat, nothing like preparing the surprise for the birthday, it brought me happiness to do all of those things.

So let me introduce them to you, they are Jen, Kat, and Ninia. I once called them my minion sisters since they could imitate the minions most of the time.

I guess this could be counted as a quite creative birthday surprise for you Jen? :) hope you had a good time 

HA HA ! :D

I am happy that I could be part of your birthday. 

PS : missing our karaoke nights :(

Our joint birthday party <3

I guess this was not long after I first met Kat and Jen. Browns Bay trip.

Our once in a while toilet mirror selfie :p

Our minion night

I surely miss night like this

Our typical Japanese dinner <3

Thank you for taking part in the last days of my stay in NZ.

Lastly, thank you for being there for my departure.

I found it pretty hard to select the best pictures out of the best ones. To my minion sisters, I just wanna say that I miss you guys so much. I am looking forward meeting you guys soon, anywhere when it's meant to be.

There are so many other friends that took part of the memories I had in New Zealand. I just couldn't mention all of them here. 

But I have one message for all of you, friendship made won't be destroyed by such a distance as long as both parties are committed to keep it remains strong. 

So to all my friends back in New Zealand, I miss you all and hoping to see you guys again..

I had posted this quote on my previous blog. I just can't resist to repost this quote again on this blog.

I hope this blog can 'entertain' you and hope you enjoy reading this blog. 

Here is another quote to end today's blog.

Have a good day! :)

Love,

Sylvia <3

HOLLA EVERYONE!

It feels good to be back again after such a long time being absent. I guess there will be few things I would like to share on this blog, a little bit about me and definitely some quotes.

Firstly, I am not in my "home away from home" country (New Zealand) anymore, I had to go back to Indonesia last November, for good. If I can recall on how I actually felt at that time, I would then say sad, excited, and other thousand mixed feelings. asdf@#$%^...
The first few seconds after I stepped out of the plane, the only thing came to my mind was "Ok, let's do this". It was just funny how my mind started to think the opposite way as soon as I got into the car, there were just these feelings of sad, pain, irritated ; my mind could only say these words "take me back to Auckland".. Well, 3 years isn't a short time, it is long enough for me to actually love that country as much as I love my hometown. The time I started to adopt the cultural and any other differences in that country is also the time I started to get too attached and it made me even harder to leave that country, for good.

I guess sooner or later I will get used to the life in Indonesia especially when I am not all alone living independently without family like how it was back then in Auckland. :)

Let's move on to another topic..
So earlier today I found these pieces of quote which I think pretty interesting to reflect on.

Can we call them as bad temptations for some reasons?

I guess it won't be that easy? It happens people always take them another way around?

Kind of true..... How I wish I can have positive thoughts all the time.

That's how I pretty much fill my past few days with, reading quotes which some will inspire me, change the way of thinking, or even kick and slap me inside. 

Lastly, 

See you here again soon

With Love


Sylvia :)
