Salatiga.....

We're now in Salatiga already....busy doing so many things since our arrival.

Me- as usual, can't stand with dust. I ended up catching a light soar throat as well as Koko. Of course, I don't want to keep this forever, three days ago, bravely I did dusting, sweeping, and moping the floor, not to forget, wiping the windows.

I feel better now. Our home is cleaner now.
I can't however iron the clothes for a while since the ironning room is so filthy.
I attempted to find a helper to clean the house for the next few weeks or so.
Yesterday I found one. She used to work for my sister-in-law for quite so long.
As scheduled, she would come to work from 7-9.30 a.m. Well...it is quite challenging for me to wake up at 7 now.

Since we were in Salatiga for the last 5 days, I woke up late. 7 o'clock for me now is too early.
Like this morning, I woke up at 9. (Well..probably because last night again, I got a headache - got a medicine - slept soundly) realizing that it was late. Hurriedly, I checked the front gate looking for our new helper who was already here yesterday.
Unfortunately, she wasn't there. I bet she had been waiting for such a long time and decided to leave at last.

Well..this is a lesson for me to wake up earlier next time.
I don't want to disappoint someone else. I need to force myself to wake up earlier.
There is nothing wrong of being awake early in the morning. I can do more things as I get more time to do them all.

Koko, on the other hand, is now busy preparing all stuff needed to open the Formulatrix Indonesia..starting from meeting the lawyer regarding the legal documents for establishing a new company in Indonesia, searching for location, looking for and recruiting employees, opening a bank account, etc.
Sometime, I will come with him being a good secretary (for a while) as well as a wonderful wife, helping him to organize his today's schedule.

Wherever I go now, my faithful green organizer is with me.
(Inside the organizer, I still have my cute bookmark with the pic of me and my first lovely niece - Jeje, in Koko's bedroom when we were dating).

I enjoy the warmth of love of my nephew (from my side) and two nieces (from Koko's side).
When I was in Jakarta, more than any other experiences I had, I enjoyed being with my nephew - Samuel Bryant Handoko. He acted so cute, pure, a little bit "naughty" being a boy, but polite.
He asked me and Koko to come with him showing his toys upstairs. He held our hands (both Koko and me) gently. There he picked a box of toys and told me his stocks. He suddenly would like to show us a different toy, what he did was amazing.
He collected all the former toys, put them in the box, closed the box carefully, and returned the box in the shelf. "What a boy!"
His mom used to call him, "Boy" because he was the only boy in the extended family- the only grandson for both sides (mom and dad).

My nieces (from Koko's side) are as charming as my nephew.
As we arrived in Salatiga, (my mom and my brother together with his girlfriend picked us up at the airport in Semarang), we took a bath and ate out at "Beringin" restaurant - the best Chinese Restaurant in Salatiga.
Together with my sister-in-law, my brother-in-law, my father-in-law (from Koko's side) in addition to from my side, our nieces were there - Jeje and Iva.
They gave me lots of hugs and told me lots of stories they had been longing to share. I showered them with hugs and kisses 'coz as I missed my nephew, I also missed my nieces.
I brought them books in English. (well..this is the result of having an auntie who is an English teacher) hahaha :)

Strangely, Iva refused to be with Koko but me. (Well...I thought because Koko is the inside uncle, she would get attached to him easily, but I was wrong)
But hey..... Samuel got closer to Koko easily...so....no regret!!!!
