My first vlog :)

Last year, my third brother, who's super close to me like my best friend, gave me a super cute camera. I've been wanting to vlog for long time, so I was so happy when he gave me camera. And I promised him that I will start to vlog usingthe camera.
When I went to Gold Coast with Azza to celebrate our anniversary, I vlogged my trip, but because that was my first time vlogging so it wasn't that good, still a bit boring I think, and Azza doesn't really like to be appeared in front of the camera, so I couldn't really vlog freely, but I did it anyway. So here's my first vlog, please watch it. I will continue vlogging when I'm doing trips, and I hope I'll get better as I go. I am still learning in editing the video as well. It's a learning process for me. So hope you'll enjoy my first vlog and will watch next one and next one :) Cheers!

We are happy parents :)

Azza and I have been wanting to have a dog since before we moved in to our new house in 2015. But, we were not ready that time because our house just wasn't ready for the dog, as we just finished built it and there were some stuffs that needed to be done. We didn't even have proper backyard and fences. In the beginning of this year, finally all the jobs done. We have nice backyard with grass, and we also have beautiful fences that Azza made himself. So we were thinking that it is time to have fur baby.
We (mostly Azza, lol) were doing some serious research for the perfect fur baby for us. I want the one that cute and doesn't drop hair because our house already full with my freaking hair everywhere, I'm so sick looking at it, lol. And Azza wants relatively big dog that could run with him and could guard the house from unwelcome creatures. So we came into conclusion that it would be poodle crossed something fairly big. We googled googled and googled and we found someone posted an ad on Gumtree that she'll be selling some pups of poodle crossed staffy. We thought that would be perfect combination. But, the thing is, the pup would not come until 18 weeks at that time, so we had to wait.

During our waiting period, Azza still kept on searching. And finally he found someone that was ready to sell her pup, but the breed was Lagotto Romagnolo. We weren't sure because the breed wasn't common. But, when Azza showed me the pic of the pup, I fell in love straight away. In my heart I knew that he was the one. But Azza wasn't sure and he was doing proper research about this type of breed. I sort of pushing Azza to give the owner a call just to get more information about this pup. Luckily he listened to me, thank god! The more he researched about this breed the more he liked it.

So, on 25 Janury 2017, on Australia Day, we decided to drive to Ipswich to get the pup. When we arrived there and looked at the pup, we were so happy because he's such a super cute pup and the family that had him was a very nice family. We took the pup home and we named him Rollo. We took the name from the series Vikings.

We introduced Rollo to Azza's family, and they also fell in love with him straight away because he's super duper cute.
Lagotto Romagnolo is dog breed originally from Italy. It is a working dog and a water dog. People in Italy use them for truffle hunting. And they also love to swim. Lagotto is a medium sized dog with fluffy wool which is perfect for us. We really got what we wanted.

Rollo is such a good pup, he likes to be with you but he's not demanding. He's very independent dog. He could entertain himself if he sees us busy or resting or sleeping. Rollo is also very smart dog, he learns very quickly and understands us as well. We take him to pup school every Tuesday and Saturday. We have him for almost 3 months now, and he already grown so much. We love him very much.

The new chapter of my love life ;)


Hello,

I haven't opened my blog for god knows how long, and I found this draft below and I haven't published it for long time. This is story about when I started dating my fiancee, so I think I need to publish it because this story is very important to me, my life changed after I met him :))
So hope you'll enjoy it!

G'day people...

Today is Friday, 23 November 2012, four more days for him to come home after three weeks working away.

So, I met this guy on 30 October 2012 at one of the coffee shop not far from my brother's house.
My first impression about him was good looking, nice personality and know-how-to-dress type of guy. Actually, he's my type of guy (I think every women's type of guy, hahaha..).

We had a little chit-chat at the coffee shop and after that we went to watch Savages in one of the plaza in the Sunshine Coast. It was a very nice movie though. The movie scene ended up in Indonesia, which is weird, hahaha...

After that, he took me home and I told him to meet my brother and my sister-in-law. I thought he was going to run away or getting scared after I told him that, but luckily he didn't scared at all. I was so happy. He, my brother and my sister-in-law had a very nice little chit-chat that night.

Before he left the house, he told me that he would like to see me again tomorrow. He said he was gonna show me around Sunshine Coast. We went to Mooloolaba, he showed me the beach and he explained a lot to me about the beach. He also explained about some other places, which I totally forgot the name of those places.

I really enjoyed my moment with him, he's such a very nice guy (I hope his kindness is not fake, hahahaa...)

Last time I met him was on 5 November, one day before he left for work. I invited him to have dinner at my brother's house. I baked fish that night because my brother just went fishing with his friends the night before.

After we had dinner, he took me to his sister's house and he introduced me to his sister. His sister is a very nice and beautiful woman. The sister has seven-year-old and eight-year-old boys.

That night, he promised me that he would ring me and text me while he's away for his job. He also told me not to look for other guy because I already got him. Actually, those are very sweet. I was so happy when he told me that. But, I didn't want to be too excited because I had some bad experiences with guys' sweet words. So, that time I just told myself "let's see what will happen."

So far, the guy can really keep his promise, he text me and ring me almost every night. I was so happy when he said he's looking forward to see me again. He also said that he misses me.

This guy can really make me happy. I feel like a teenager who is in love. I have this kind of feeling inside me every time he text me or call me.. He definitely could make me fly, I can't stop thinking about him everyday.

I really hope that he's the one. Let's see what will happen in the future.. Can't hardly wait to see him in the next four days :)

My first Australian wedding

Last week, my boyfriend's bestfriend had a wedding. I was so excited because it would be my first Australian wedding to attend.
Few days before the wedding, my boyfriend and I were so busy looking for what to wear. We went shopping and buy stuffs to wear. He bought pants, button shirt and a jacket, and I bought a bag to match my shoes, got my hair and my nails done. When we came back from shopping I found out that my new bag doesn't match with my shoes. I was so worried, even my boyfriend said that maybe I should buy new shoes to match my bag. Then we were thinking, aw well doesn't matter, I hope people won't notice it.
Then on Saturday, we went to the wedding. They rent a house on the beach which was so pretty. The house is so awesome with very pretty view. When we arrived at the house, the groom's family said that we can't wear high heel shoes because it can hurt the timber floor, so I was barefoot at the party. I was thinking: "Bloody hell, I was sooo worried that my bag doesn't match my shoes, and now I'm not even wear shoes!"
The party was sooo fun and soooo not formal. So, I had funny experience from my first Australian wedding.

Dis/Advantages of working from home

Advantages:
1. You don't need to go anywhere.
2. You can wear anything you want, or don't wear anything :).
3. You can do anything while you are working, like watch TV, cooking, clean your house, take care of your kids, read books, swimming, shopping, etc.
4. You can work anywhere, such as in bed, in front of your TV, in the kitchen, on your couch, on the beach, at the cafe, in shopping mall, literary anywhere you want.
5. Save more money, because you don't need to go anywhere, so you are saving more transport money/fuel money.

Disadvantages:
1. Boring, because you don't get to see anyone, no one to talk to.
2. Feel lazy, because you are your-own boss so sometimes you just feel lazy to work.
3.  Not 100% concentration, sometimes you are working while doing something else so you don't give 100% of your concentration to your work.
4. Miss-communication, sometimes you can misunderstood what your collegues or your boss want because it is easier to have face-to-face conversation.

I think that's so far what I know about dis/advantages of working from home from my 15 months experience of working from home. Choose your own work, people! :)

Apartment sucks!

Living in an apartment is 100% worst than living in a house. Why? Because you don't have privacy at all! You are living very close with your next door neighbor, sometimes they can see inside your apartment from their apartment or sometimes they can hear you or you can hear them talking. And the most annoying thing is if your neighbors have kids or your neighbors are renovating their units, that are the most annoying things that ever happen in my life. Like right now, there are more than one units are doing a renovation. It is already more than two weeks I need to be annoyed with their noisy activities, like their non-stop drilling, their non-stop banging and everything, soooooo freaking annoying!! I hate it 100%! We already called the construction company and they said they supposed to be finish yesterday, but they are still doing it until now, so crazy! I lost my patience already! I hate living in an apartment, I want to live in my own house!
