Adalah: Iya Tidak Belum

I made a blogpost of countries that I have visited. One of them is Australia. Went there two times. Once when I was one year old and my grandfather was an education attaché for Indonesian Embassy. I have zero recollection of my time there, but my mother, aunties, and uncles have lots. Stories to follow. The second time I went there when I was in third grade, age 8. My father took three (?) months course in a hospital in Sydney and/or Canberra. Aunt Telly still worked in Canberra there, so we stayed at her place. My memory of this vacation was blurry, obviously. We visited Sydney Opera House, shopping centres, zoo, and aquarium. Mother purchased a christmas tree then, the one we still use to this day. It's still in the living room at this very moment, which reminds me that I need to take it down soon. It's already February! What else I remember from this visit. Food, I remember eating kangaroo meat (or so my father told me). Also ate a lot of nasi goreng with peas in them. ...

Now that I'm 30 and have recently bore my second child, I came to a epiphany that, if God's willing, in time I'd grow even older. If He'd allow, I'd go through more stages in life, gain more experiences. And looking back, He has allowed me to experience countless events - some of which are life changing, encounter people of many background and characters, visit numerous places, and so on. And if I don't write it down, I might forget all of them in the future. I keep a habit of writing diaries since I was a kid. Sadly, I've lost my elementary school diary. Can you even imagine what kind of silliness I wrote as a kid?? I still have my junior high until university diary, and they are ALL cringe-worthy. But still, I enjoy reminiscing when reading them. Those diaries entries makes me grateful for the lessons I learnt, they makes me regret for the friends I've lost contact with, and sometimes they make me crazy. The last part is because I liked to write song...
