They are Canadians

It was on friday afternoon, 23rd July 2010. That day is the last day me and friends get around in Beijing. Because the day after tomorrow we are going back to our beloved Country, Indonesia. So, after our friends has been leaved China on afternoon, 23rd July. My friend asked to me to get around in Beijing for the last time. I have no reason to reject it. So that after lunch, we went to Beijing. As usual, we are used bus 930 which bus bring us from Sanhe to Beijing.

While listening my favourite music in my MP3 player, I'm looking for the highway of Beijing, took some pictures in bus, hehe.. :D yeah, I did it to record my last traveling in China. During in the bus, I saw so many people not only Chinese but also other people with black skin, curl hair. I guess, they are foreigners in China. It seems they look like confused and hesitated. But I just saw them, I don't have any idea to say hello or some words to them.
After our bus arrived in Dawanglu station in Beijing, as expressively I said "go, go, go!" why I said like that? So many people want to getting off from bus in Dawanglu station, cowded and jostled. Maybe the foreigners heard that I spoke English (go, go, go). After we get off from bus, the foreigners said to me; You speak English? Yeah, I said. And he shows his handphone to me, and I saw some Chinese character ”呵呵。。“。He asked me to translate that words into English. And I know a little Chinese character, as directly I told to him; it means, "hehe.." your friend laughing on you, said me to him. O yeah? Hahaa.. thank you, thank you! answered him to me while laughing. Then he said to me, your English is very good. I just smile to him, hehe.. 8)

And then, it's my turn to ask him a few questions. I asked him, what is your name, where are you come from, and something like that. After I already knew their names, they are Canadians and come to China just for business. Then I introduced my self and my friend to them, we are Indonesians, come to China for study in one power plant. After heard my explanation that I'm Indonesian he said to me "APA KABAR? SUDAH BERAPA LAMA DI CINA?". Wow, surprised! Did he spoke Indonesian? Said me in my heart!? Great, you can speak Indonesian man, your Indonesian is very great. Said me to him. Yeah, I have been in Indonesia. My wife and my baby are Indonesians. Awesome!!! Nice to heard that.

Then, we took some photos, giving phone number each other also email address. After that, I continue our traveling with my friend, get around in Beijing. They are Mark and Jeff! Glad to know you guys, see you later! I'm so proud as Indonesian because I have so many friends not only in my hometown but also in China, Canada, Pakistan and Arab. Alhamdulillah, that's all because God blessing. Thanks God, to gave me so many friends in the world.

Maybe this is the first time any of you reading about me saying thanks to Something or Someone up there, who gives me a lot of blessings or even the smallest luck that I never realize, thank you.
I would like to say thank you very much to God. Who gave me chance to always improve my self, gave me health until now. Thanks to my parent, even they were having hard time.

Is she your Girlfriend?

Before I begin my writing, I want to ask a question. Do you have a girlfriend? Hehe.. I’m sure some of you already have a girlfriend right? :D Nowadays some people said “girlfriend can make you feel comfort, she can make you feel happy when you sad, and she can understand you”. Yeah, everyone has own opinion about girlfriend. Including me. For me, girlfriend is someone who make your heart feel calmdown, with her words, with her smile and so on. I’m sure some of you ever make a relationship with girlfriend more than one or two times right! hehe.. :D it’s normally happened, because when we felt unconveinient with girlfriend, and your girlfriend didn’t care about you anymore, or girlfriend didn’t love you anymore so both of you decided to broke your relationship. Then, you find the other girlfriend in outside. Am I right? Because my brother said Don’t worry so many girls in the world! broke one, grow one million. Hahaa.. :D I like that words. Here, I want to tell you about my first experiences when I made a relationship with my ex-girlfriend.
It was happy with her. Her name is Nurhayati, she was born on January 1992. Actually she's younger than me. But, it's ok! She's the only one in her family without brother or sister. When she was 2nd grade of senior high school, unfortunatelly her mother was passed away. So, it makes she's so depressed. However, me as her boyfriend always entertain her with my words and my love.
Our story between me and her are very short. Because, after graduated from senior high school. She decided to continue study to the university, but me not yet continue my study. My family have problem in financial. So that, I decided to earn money and follow the job training. Since that was happened, we seldom meet each other like a few months ago. When we're still in senior high school.
After several months following the job training, she said to me to broke our relationship without any reason. Based on her statements "I'm too kindhearted. Actually she's lying on me, because when she want to broke our relationship she's only supposed me as her BEST FRIEND not as boyfriend during that relationship. Oh my God! How could it be?
I only laughing loudly when I remember that story, hahaaa.. :D maybe I'm so handsome, so it makes her always nervous whenever beside me so she decided to broke up! Hehe.. 8). Yeah, no problem guys. That's normally happened. Thanks for all the memories that you gave me as my 1st girlfriend. Thanks for the good and bad that happened between us. Hope that you’re happy. Thank you, Nur.
Now, I'm looking for a new girlfriend. With new specification, handy, futuristic and so on! Hehe.. :D yeah, that's all about my ex-girlfriend. Maybe you can share your story with your girlfriend to me. Ok guys! Thank you!

It was unbelievable and incredible!

Before I tell you much about my experience that I want to write in my blog. Let me tell you about someone first. To make you clear what's my purpose in my blog. Her initial is 'MI'. I knew her, when I were in China. At the first time when I made an account on facebook, I added all people that I met on facebook without thinking whether that people I know or not. And then, I have many friends on facebook. After that, I often chatt or comment with all my friends on facebook. Upload some photos, notes, status or something like that.
After a several months, I made an account on facebook. I met someone on facebook, she's girl, she's Indonesian, pretty good and her intial is 'MI'. Of course she's human, hehe.. :D. We often chatt to know each other, share some experiences or even make a joke. From facebook we moved to Yahoo Messenger which application special for chatting on internet. And from YM we often made a video call or voice call. Yeah, that's all we did to know much each other.
Then, on 25th July 2010 has come. All of us back to Indonesia. Before I leaved China, I told to her, I said; 'It will be better if we meet each other in one place after I'm back to home later' and she said 'yeah, we'll meet each other if I still alive' while joking with me, hehe.. :D I only laughing in my heart when she said like that! Then I said; 'I hope you still alive when I arrived in my home later'. After one week I haven't keep in touch with her, I've sent some messages to her on facebook, I asked her to meet in one place which place we've agreed to meet. And she has agreed. It was 7th August 2010 I went to that place. Actually, I want to bring motorcycle but unfortunately I haven't driving license card yet. So, I decided to go there by bus. I told to her, that I will go there by bus and she said; I also don't have motorcycle, are we really use on foot to get around? It's up to you! For me, it's fine or even CRAWLING I'll do it! Hehe.. :D, she said while laughing. Oh my God! It was AWESOME! I never meet someone especially girl have said sentences like that! Unbelievable!
After a few hours through bus and waiting, I arrived in that place and finally I saw her with my own eyes. Yeah, glad to saw her! Do you know what will happen next? We are really use on foot to get around in that place. It's almost same what did I've done when I were in China! INCREDIBLE! I know, she's very shy, because she told me, it's the first time to get around with me by on foot. Hahaa.. :D yeah I know that but I try to enjoy that situation with her. And we used 'Ojeg' to pick us up went to BA park. It was beyond my imagine, I have nothing words to tell you how crazy I'm with her at my first date! We did a silly behave that never ever did for people like us. After get around, much talk with her I decided to go back. It's going to rain and I said to her 'nice to meet you!'. Bye-bye.
So guys, it's very important for all of you. If you want to date with someone the most important thing is you should have a DRIVING LICENSE for your personal safety then the policeman will not stop or take your motorcycle because you haven't a driving license. Or you will have the same experiences like me! Hehe.. :D
