Fortune

Even the fortune cookie is mocking me! Arrrrrggghhh! All this waiting is killing me.

Today's fortune...

The elements of my new life -

- laptop, tv, maruku, soda (hidden behind shoe), and fleece blanket.


Trying my new shoooz... (Whoo hoo!)

It's been (almost) a week since I got back from my Helsinki - St. Petersburg - Moscow - London trip. I'm finally settling down and getting things in place. I got a new trash can for the kitchen, so no more clanging and banging. Threw out boxes, cleaned the garage, Nils's car, etc. Hah, now I can rest and comfortably plant my butt on the couch (Iddy, I miss the window by your couch!). The house doesn't feel as sunyi as it did when my family first left. Although I'm still reminded of them when I drive by the Marriott and the mall. :( It's ok, I'll see them again soon.

My new life will unfold in the next few weeks, and I hope it turns out ok. New place, new job, new routine. New everything. Got my New Jersey license, and getting new title and registration on Monday. And I keep getting sms from my mom to make drinks for Nils and to take care of him. Hehehe thanks, Mak. It's still a few months before our trip to Malaysia in October, but things will be so hectic, I'm sure it'll be here in a hurry. (I can't wait to eat sambal goreng!)

I still need to finish up our Nikah wedding album, send pictures, and all that good stuff. Will do so as soon as I can. The last few days I've been battling a virus attack on my laptop. I think I finally cleaned it up. Next time must be careful when opening files.......

Hello, St. Petersburg

Am I really in Russia?

Day 1: Newark - SFO - London - Helsinki

I'm sitting at the airport, waiting to board my flight to Helsinki (via London). Thank God for the 6-hour wait, I finally got the time to do address changes, send out emails, etc. Even managed to get my blackberry unlocked for free (thank you, Cingular).

Iddy, I'll see you in 2 weeks!! I might change my flight to a later one so I can fly directly to Newark from London nanti. I wonder if I should stay an extra day. Hmmmmm... What do u think? But then I will need to find another room for the night. Cannot stay at Park Lane for the second night. Haha. :p. Can tido at your house or not? Hehehe

Keep smiling

There are some things you just never forget...

That's what friends are for

And I never thought I'd feel this way
And as far as I'm concerned
I'm glad I got the chance to say
That I do believe I love you

And if I should ever go away
Well, then close your eyes and try to feel
The way we do today
And then if you can remember

Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

Well, you came and opened me
And now there's so much more I see
And so by the way I thank you

And then for the times when we're apart
Well, then close your eyes and know
These words are comin' from my heart
And then if you can remember, oh

Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, oh, for sure
'Cause I tell you that's what friends are for
For good times and for bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for
