To: My dearest friend Zahira. Thank you so much for the invitation to attend your birthday,
I really wish I could come and hug you and say “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” in person but I guess the
distance stopped me from doing that, all I can do now is to wish you Joy and Happiness and good health
throughout the years, I hope someday we could meet and have a blast! Speaking of you in Spain, I remembered a song
in a movie “My Fair Lady” it says “The Rain in Spain Stays Mainly in the plain” (or something like that).

On another note, I’m currently under the weather, a usual combo desease has struck me, a combination of light fever,
flu, cough and dizziness, not sure what’s the cause of it, obviously many may have caused it as I stayed up late almost
every nite, smoke like a train, the weather or just that I’m due to have those.

On Happier note, I have new babies!!! Let me introduce you, my dear readers to my darling little squirrels, I have 3 of them,
My younger brother bought me those as prezzies (or should I say to annoy me), they were so tiny and still babies when he brought
them to me, but after 2 months passed, they grow up so quickly and I didnt realized how energetic they are and adorable (besides leaving
me with scratches here and there).

The girls are Chi Chi & Cha Cha, they are so active and spoilt, always wanted to sleep with me and everytime I hold something in my hand
they would (especially Chi Chi) would run and climb to my hand to investigate and if I had food in my hand then she would steal it away
or eat it on my palm. While the shy boy is Cho Cho, he’s very timid and dont like to mingle but he’s very adorable when he sleeps and never
give me problems.

Ok That’s it, I’m done for now and see you in another edition of The Daily Susan.

A trip to Sukabumi in West Java is about 4 hours drive from Jakarta, actually we went there last month but since I only got a chance to post this entry now so it’s not the latest news about me but anyway let’s start.
The Gang was consisted of 7 people (my cousin + hubby, my aunt, my 2 brothers, our friend and me), so we drove to my aunt’s place in Sukabumi, the plan was to have a more spiritual connection by meditation but of course my funny and loud aunt was also entertaining, my uncle which almost exactly looks like my late dad is the most kindness man on earth! He has like more than an acre of land that he planted all sorts of things.

The Gang also went to the Tea farm where we could pick the tea leafs or buy it from the shops there but we had only enough time to take pictures before the fog descended upon us and block the way in front of us but since all the other photos are not too clear except this one, shall we give the title of my brother pic “The Last of The Tea Picker?” .

So this is the house of my aunt, made all from wood and very traditional. The terrace is so big that we had lunch or dinner there by sitting on the carpeted floor, since it’s cold because we’re so close to the mount of Pangrango, we were always served hot and warm drinks and food, we even had a sweet potatoes’ barbeque at night before we did our meditation.

This last pic (click for larger image) is the best even though my older brother wasnt in the pic but I love it besides you can see the fog behind us that started to descend it also shows my design on the jacket. I have a small business selling t-shirts/polo shirt for men and women with my own brand and design. I wanted to sell them via internet by making a website for it but I havent got a chance yet, I’m sure I’ll do it as soon as possible, I’ll just have to take pictures of the products for sample and see if anyone interested in buying it? I’ll let you know once I’m done with the website so you guys perhaps could have a look and maybe buy it? ahahaha (sorry im in a promotion mode).

Anyways, that’s all about me for now, hope you guys are doing great?

So little time so much to tell! let’s see…. Okay I went to a few places out of town and the recent place I went was a pub in my town Jakarta. My older brother asked me to accompany him to Yogyakarta with his friends and so we went the four of us by his friend’s car, it was a grueling and tiresom journey, about 12 hours drive from Jakarta. The picture was taken in Yogyakarta’s most popular shopping place called Malioboro Street, we took a tricycle around the town while shopping.

Next I went to Bandung, my niece needed a chaperon aka an elder to watch over her while she joined a tour from her school. I must say I felt like in a bus full of little rascals that were going to be sent to a juvenile prison! it was soooooo trying! hard work to stay cool and calm and hard to rest with them running around and there’s always someone missing each time the teachers called their names! it was about 4 hours drive and we visited few places like Strawberry’s farm to pick lovely sweet and sour strawberries and then to the Cow’s farm to milk …yes the lesson on how to milk the cow and get a free fresh milk afterward and then we went to the planetarium to see stars and lessons about planets and stuff and last one of course for the chaperones of the kids alias for their parents/relatives to go shopping . All in all…tiring and tiring.

Last I went to Sadang, it’s a place just outside Bandung that we stopped to shop for souvenirs and stuff. Connie invited me to join her and her friends to Hard Rock Cafe the next day and so I went there, experienced a little mishap that embarrasing, one of my shoes is broken and i had to drag to walk but luckily one of my friend kept a spare so I borrowed hers. It was 5 girls having a great time and some guys approached us and it was fun, one of them asked to take a pic of me with him, I didnt really remember his name but he said he’s a captain of a cargo ship that docked in Indonesia for 5 days with his crew.

One of his crew caught my attention though as he was the quiet one and he wasnt really interested in engaging us in conversation, he was just sitting next to his loud friends and smoke and just enjoying the music, I caught his eyes and smiled and he returned the favor, I was sitting on his opposite side with my friends and his separate us from saying anything but I guess he seems so cool and he wasnt flirty like his friends, I like that kind of guy and so I whispered to my friend to ask his name but instead my friend told another and another and they were trying to matchmake me and drag me across to be closer to him. He’s very polite and we talked a little, too bad I dont have his pic and well he said he’ll be in Hard Rock Cafe again the next evening if I wanted to see him, too bad the next day I couldnt make it as I got things to do and so I guess he’s on his way sailing to another place and another pub and meet another girl. I’m not really into sailors and so it’s not really bothered me that much although he’s really cute and i like his cool attitude.

As I said So little time and I still have alot to say but well…I gotta run now, I’ll write more whenever…..

I’m sure that a simple Thank you wouldnt be enough for everything that you (my dearest friends) did for me over these times that we’ve been friends, even we’re far from each other but now I know the meaning that Love is powerfull, it doesnt matter if you’re a world away or live in a different time or place, Love could reach anything and anyone anywhere. I really am gratefull for your love and I want you to know that I really treasure our friendship, it gives me the will to go on and thrive in this uncertain life of mine, it makes me feel like I am not alone and that there are people that are still care for me, love me and think about me, Once again Thank YOU!

Chubby arrived in Jakarta on the 5th of January from Singapore, he just stayed for 3 days, I feel like a part of me was glad he came but the other was sad and angry, coz for all the 3 days he was here, his girlfriend kept calling him and so it was disturbing our time being together when we both know if we could meet again in the future or not, it brought back alot of memories and it hurts so bad, he still hold my hands when we walk and being kind to me and that made me feel like shit, I dont want to feel regrets that we broke up but I also dont want to be reminded on the good times we once had. The jealousy and possessif feelings were intruding and it was hard to stay cool. It was a bad timing he came here, when Im not ready to let him go and the past, I hope I’ll get through this and let the time heals the pain.

Anyways, I recieved lots of Christmas cards and gifts, Thank you so much coz I really love them, I love reading them and it always make me smile, Thank You Magie for the gifts and cards, Holly for the Thinkerbell’s journal and lovely words, I hope soon I could meet you all in UK . Thank You Jori for the SMS-es and the Xmas Card, you’re always surprise me with those texts msgs, Thomas , you’re really so sweet as to send me a big cuddly teddy bear from Sweden, I really love it and it accompanies me sleeping now, Thank You!

Well I hope I wont left out anyone or anything but if I did then know this, my brain is weak and so hope you’ll understand hahaha, I got a very bad memory so Sorry, it’s my fault! but I still love you all and always will. Right now I’m trying to create my own business, it’s not a really big one coz everything has to start from zero, right? anyways I dont have the money to create a big business, I’m trying to sell some tidbits and supply it to small provision shops or vendors, well just hope that it would sell. I am also helping my older brother with his work and I’m thinking to find another job again, I know I havent been succeeded last year and was really down coz of that and stopped looking, but this year, I want to try and try and try again and if I should fall, well then I’ll just have to keep trying again, wont I?

Things have been confusing with me and Mark, our relationship is still long distance and well complicated as I dont know if we could meet someday and although he’s giving me his full attention and makes me his priority, I still feel like our relationship is still at stage 1. There’s no improvement and it goes at a snail’s pace. He keeps delaying coming here and I dont want to pressure him or ask the same question again coz I already know what his answer would be. I believe now that if we’re meant for each other, we will meet and be together soon but if we’re not meant to be well then …you know what will happen. Well time’s up for me.

Hope you’re all doing fine and have a wonderfull new year 2007! I love you and Thank You!
