It's been a very busy couple of weeks for me, and I literally had to stop doing what I usually do in my leisure time(including blogging). First up my Grand Mother died on the 6th of November 2008, I had to fly back to indonesia to attend her funeral. Her funeral was held in Bangka Island on Sunday 9th of November 2008. Bangka island is an insland on south end of Sumatra island, its a place where most of my family are from, including my parents. I spent about a week in Indonesia, because After her funeral, there were some post-funeral ceremonies I need to attend, such as: the 3 days after burial ceremony (or in chinesse term: Sam Cao), and the 7 days after death ceremony (this is the catholic one).

I flew back to Sydney on the 16th and arived on the 17th of November. Didn't spend that day to rest, because I had to accompany my girlfriend and her brother to walk around the circular quay area. Her brother had just been granted an Australian permanent resident visa, and had to enter Australia to obtain it. He stayed in Sydney for like 2 weeks and in that 2 weeks I spend most of my leisure time to show him sydney. We went to Sydney opera house, Bondi beach, The Gap @ Watson Bay, and Darling Harbour. On his last night, we had dinner @ Sydney Tower restaurant to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday. I have to say the restaurant is a bit overrated. It's expensive, the food was sub-par, and service was almost none to existent. The only good thing about the restaurant is the view, but it doesn't worth the $65 dollars fee though.

That's what I've been doing in the last couple of weeks. Looking forward to get back on my daily things to do.
