Train To Dorval.

It's amazing.

I feel like Harry Potter. Haha. Traveling by train with wifi on it. When will we have such thing in Indonesia? Next 20 years? Or maybe we do have it and I'm the one who doesn't know that? Help me!

It's going to be more or less 4 hours 30 minutes trip to Dorval, Montreal from Toronto. My sister is going to pick us up on the train station there. I hope it's going to be great there in Montreal.

I'm feeling a little dizzy, traveling backwards on the train. Feels like going to "jackpot"! Oh not again.

Should I sleep instead?

Cold Breeze.

Good Morning from Toronto.

It's a simple hello from Toronto, Canada. Starting my day at 9, take shower then go out and play. What a wonderful morning and it's definitely cold breeze stoned in my skin.

The slumber was nice. A long sleep one after another. Had jet lag yesterday! But today would be good, I promise.

I'm going out. I'm having loads of fun! Can't wait to see my sister and everyone else.

Love from Toronto,

Welcome To Canada!

Oh my! Another trip when I can’t go to sleep.

This is not fun at all. But I hope Canada pays for this devastating long trip. Five hours to Hong Kong, then stayed there for like another five hours. Thank God I decided to bring my BlackBook with me. Since I’m not activating my BlackBerry. It’s good to know that HKIA has free WiFi connection. So five hours wasn’t really anything back then. What is really SOMETHING is the next thing I’m going to tell you.

It’s like hell to have a long trip without being able to go to sleep. Not that I’m not trying. But the position was impossible for me to enjoy this long freakin’ trip. LOL! The flight itself was at 2.45 in the morning, which was killing me. On the plane, it turned out that I couldn’t fall asleep. Sleeping and waking up was not very delightful. What bothered me most when it became a bumpy flight while I was feeling hungry. It makes me want to “jackpot”! From Hong Kong to Toronto, it took 14.38 hours. From now on, I officially hate long trips! Well, it’s not really from now on, coz I realized that the first time I went to my sister’s six years ago. Oh yeah! And now that she’s getting married, I can’t refuse to go. Hey! I’m the maid of honor! Ha! That is why.

We are going to stay in Toronto for three nights. See Niagara Falls, meet my cousin and then take the train for another 4.5 hours to Montreal. But my sister said, there’s Internet on the train. So yes, this is why I decided to carry 9 KGs of heavy load on my shoulder, in my backpack. LOL! So lame! I really hope I’ll have fun in Canada and have some pop tarts, poutine, beavertail, malt ovaltine, and the best part is my favorite Cadbury chocolate mint!

Canada, I’m coming!

Full of hopes,

Hong Kong International Airport

Waiting for my connection flight.

Hong Kong International Airport, like others International airport, is clean and nice. Why can't our airport be like this? LOL!!

It's a 5 hours transit in HKIA to Toronto. Will be staying n Toronto for 2 nights then take the train to Montreal. Having plans to meet some of the Canadians' delegation. I hope I can meet them though.

Ah, starting to feel sleepy. I think I'm going to take a rest for a while.

See you soon,

Coffee For My Soul.

Coffee indeed for the soul in need.

A glass of coffee could cheer up my day.
Sometimes it makes me howl when I can't find a cup.

Coffee is sweet and sometimes bitter.
I find myself enjoy cups of coffee with all it tastes.

Black Coffee, White Coffee, Blended Coffee, Over Iced Coffee.
Whatever coffee fills my life with gladness.

Therefore, I want to thank all my friends for being my HUGE cup of coffee.


Loving coffee. Loving friends,

It's not goodbye.

Aku harus memilih jalan yang lain.

Setahun sudah berlalu. Banyak yang kudapatkan dari perjalanan selama setahun belakangan ini. Aku bertemu teman-teman yang membuat hariku pernuh warna, hatiku menyanyikan lagu riang gembira. Walau tak menutup adanya kemungkinan aku merasakan kepahitan dan kecewa. Tapi itulah hidup yang sesungguhnya. Di sini aku punya keluarga. Perselisihan, pertengkaran, kebahagiaan, keriuhan dalam tawa adalah bagian dalam keluarga. Apa pun itu, aku tetap bagian dari keluarga ini.

Aku belajar berjalan seperti bayi yang kegirangan. Perlahan aku menapaki bagian hidup yang lain, yang sebelumnya tak pernah kukenal. Banyak cerita yang membuat hatiku tak pernah hampa. Kami saling menertawakan, saling menghibur, saling menjaga. Setahun yang penuh dengan kenangan. Aku yakin, kenangan ini tidak akan hanya berhenti sampai di sini. Walaupun aku melangkahkan kaki ke tempat lain, tempat ini akan selalu jadi tempat perhentianku karena di dalamnya ada saudara-saudaraku.

Di sini aku belajar mengerti tentang kehidupan yang tidak semuanya sempurna. Selalu ada sisi yang gompal, sisi yang tidak terawat, sisi yang penuh dengan tambalan. Ada yang terlihat sempurna, tapi sebenarnya tidak. Mungkin juga ada yang terlihat bahagia, namun tidak di dalamnya. Tidak ada yang tahu. Aku hanya belajar memahami dan tersenyum saat menemukan kenyataan itu ada.

Aku akan pergi membawa semua kenangan pahit dan manis bersamaku. Tapi jelas aku akan mengunjungi tempat ini lagi, mengunjungi saudara-saudaraku di Satucitra.


Sampai nanti,
