Wira Wiri Cars

You don’t have to pay to ride this car. It’s a free facility from Nusantara Flower Park (Cipanas, West Java, Indonesia). You can start from the first stop near the entrance, or you can wait the car in every stopping place. In our last visit, we didn’t use this car as we prefer to walk. Tired but happy; and we could take lots of pictures!

Couple’s Corner: Being a Sister or Friend

I have three brothers and no sister. Honestly, I envy with my friends who have close relationships with their sisters. I think that’s why my mom and I became very close. She’s my mom; but she can also be my sister and best friend. I have no secrets with my mom; I told her all my stories. We’re often going together; for shopping girl stuffs, just window shopping or watching kid movies at cinemas.

Years ago, when we’re still little kids, my brothers love teasing me. My mom became my protector at that time. Every time she saw any one of my brothers teasing me; she would yell and reprimanded him. But when we’re teenagers, we became closer one another. Every weekend, we did fun things together; like attending a music show or watching movies. I could ask them to teach me if I needed a help in finishing my home works. I could also ask for their help to pick me up or drop me off at any place; such as school or a friend’s house. They all are helpful brothers!

Now, my brothers already have their own families. We live far each other. My hubby assumes me as a good sister and sometimes my hubby sees me as a mediator between my brothers; if a misunderstanding happens. I most often communicate with my oldest brother, he calls me regularly.

My hubby can’t say anything about me as a friend. It’s a pity, but all good friends of mine live far from me. One best friend is living abroad. We just ‘talk’ via FB.

Well, that’s my story. Sorry for not sharing an interesting one here.

A Water Hole

I saw a water hole in one fish pond inside a fishing place. The function of this hole is to keep stable the water height level by flowing out the exceeding water. The flowing out water creates interesting sound and movement for Watery Wednesday post.

A Heritage House

Thank God, my husband is better now. Last Sunday we can take my father to a fishing place. My father is really a fishing lover! I was busy discussing with the owner to arrange a family gathering that will be held at a restaurant inside the fishing place. The gathering will be held at June 4th, 2011.

For Blue Monday this week, I’ll share a heritage house that belongs to my husband’s family; the first owner was my husband’s great-grand father from his mother’s side. The original house was built in 1890. This house has been renovated twice, in 1918 and 2008. The last renovation was a big one; it included rebuilding the roof structure.

There are blue touches on this heritage house. You can see the light blue color on the fence, windows and doors. I love this house. I feel so comfortable inside it.

Couple's Corner: Being a Daughter

I’m the only one daughter in the family. Moreover, I’m the youngest, too. My hubby doesn’t know my mom; she had passed away before I met my hubby. I’m so close with my mom; we’re best friends. I always accompany her during her days in hospitals. When she took her last breath; I sat near her. The day she left me was like the darkest day in my life. I always miss u, mom.

I and my hubby live together with my father; he doesn’t want to live alone. My hubby said that I’m the best daughter for my father. Sometimes hubby complains that I more prioritize my father than him. Well, I can't choose between my father and hubby; I love them both!

But I must admit here that I prefer to always try fulfilling my father’s wants. And it sometimes collides with hubby’s wants. I’m stuck in the middle. If it happens; I always persuade hubby to be more compromise and patient. I think it would be better if we, daughter and son in law, sacrifice some of our wants for my father’s sake. Am I right or wrong to have this kind of mind? Hubby and I argue about this occasionally.
