Hari Senin pagi adalah pagi paling menyebalkan buat gue dan kayaknya gitu juga buat anak-anak gue. Suasana santai mulai jumat sore dan sepanjang sabtu dan minggu kayaknya langsung kagok di Senin pagi. Pantesan ada kalimat yang bilang, I don't like Monday. Hehe..
Pagi ini gue bangun jam 07.00 am langsung buru2 masak nasi karena tadi malam belum dimasak karena kebetulan habis jadi gue pikir mending masak pagi supaya bekal anak2 lebih fresh. Setelah naiki nasi ke rice cooker, yah..bangunin anak-anak. Biasanya Ariel - yang paling gede - udah bangun, siy.. Dia mah anaknya disiplin banget. Body clock-nya udah terlatih banget dengan jadwal kegiatannya. Heibaattt emang dia. Klu Brian dan Nathan, pliz deh..ga usah dibahas. Kalo ga dibanguni mungkin bisa bangun2 hari udah siang, deh..
Setelah semua mandi (kecuali gue, hehe..), sarapan nah..mulailah berangkat pukul 08.20 am. Mudah-mudahan ga telat soalnya kelas Ariel dimulai pukul 08.35 am. Dari malam gue dengar kadang hujan kadang enggak. Gue udah berdoa mudah-mudahan pagi nanti ga hujan. Soalnya repot banget mesti turun dan manyungi anak2 masuk sekolahnya. Pasti dingin lagiii... Eh, ternyata doa gue ga dikabuli, pas waktu lagi ngunci rumah, ternyata malah turun hujan es. Iihhh...ini pertama kali gue liat hujan es. Berisik banget truss...tuh es turun kayak butiran beras. Gue sempat ngeliat yang jatuh di teras rumah gue, buat mastiin maksudnya.. dan benaran es, loh. Haha...
Untung lagi hujan kayak gitu, orang2 juga mengeluarkan their very good manner on the road. Limit kecepatan yang max. 60 km, orang-orang kayaknya nyupir sekitar 40 - 50 km/jam aja. Jadi gue bisa nyelip2 ambil jalur. Nyampe ke sekolah Ariel pukul 08.34 am untungnya hujan berhenti, jadi dia ga perlu ditemani pake payung. Kayaknya ga telat, tuh..
Then heading to Brian and Nathan's school. Sampe di sana ternyata hujan mulai turun lagi, meskipun ga deras. Terpaksa, deh..ga bisa berhenti do drop off and pick up zone. Ga tega, euy.. Jadi gue terpaksa nyari parkir dan untungnya ketemu ga gitu jauh orang yang baru mo pergi. Syukur lah.. Setelah semua aman di kelas masing-masing gue pulang, deh.. Masih banyak kerjaan di rumah. Ada setrikaan 2 keranjang yang membutuhkan perhatian. Hehe..nasib-nasib..

Winter Slippers
Cerita masih seputar winter. Hehe.. Anak-anakku semua hobby bersandal jepit. Maklum..karena tinggal di Indonesia, kayaknya pilihan bersandal jepit lebih nyaman. Biar si jempol kaki masih bisa kena angin, gitu loh.. Ternyata kebiasaan ini ga bisa dihilangkan begitu aja sesampainya di Australia. Kalo masih di summer yah..ga apa. Wong emang semua orang bersandal jepit, koq. Tapi mulai masuk ke winter, tetap aja tuh kebiasaan ga bisa ilang. Sampe kalo ada latihan2 malam si jempol tetap aja nongol buat berangin-angin. Gue aja gelisah ngeliatnya tapi anak2 gue koq pada nyante banget, yah?Sebel ngeliati kelakuan mereka, gue mulai hunting winter slippers. Nah, ketemu yang ini. Jadi si jempol udah bisa terselamatkan. Hehe..
GP.. oh GP...
Sekarang udah masuk musim dingin di Australia. Lumayan juga, niy..dinginnya. Tapi kata orang-orang belum sampe puncaknya, euy.. Kalo siang suhu masih bisa belasan, kayak 16 or 17 Celcius. Dan apabila masih ada matahari dan ga ada angin, masih kuat deh cuma pake jumper aja. Tapi kalo udah berangin, duh...tolong!! Brrr..
Awal bulan Juni gue kena alergi. Kayaknya karena udara dingin, deh.. Awalnya gejala batuk-batuk. Sampe mo muntah kadang-kadang soalnya tenggorokan gue gatal banget. Sempeti ke dokter, yah..tahu khan dokter di sini ga hobby ngasih antibiotik, nah..jelas juga gue ga dikasih obat apa-apa. Duiillee..padahal perasaan gue udah hampir mo mati, deh. Gue sampe nanya 2 kali, 'Are you sure I do not need any prescription?' Hehe..kayaknya udah desperate banget pengen makan obat, khan? Emang iya, soalnya tidur gue khan keganggu. Eehh...si dokter tetap keukeuh kalo gue ga perlu obat. Trus..katanya kalo gue rasa butuh banget, tanya aja ama apoteker. Please, deh.. Masa gitu, sih? 'Not even a clue?', gue tanya lagi. 'Well, anti histamine will be fine', kata doi.
Yo wis lah..gue ngalah kalo dia ga mau nulis resep. Padahal kalo ada resep obat gue khan bisa ditanggung asuransi. Tuh dokter ga pengertian banget. hehe.. Di farmasi gue nemu apoteker yang baik banget. Gue minta obat alergi buat batuk, dia ngasih tahu banyak banget info malah sempatin nge-print 3 lembar informasi tentang alergi. Terberkatilah dia!
Beberapa minggu kemudian di tempat latihan taekwondo anak gue, ada ortu yang nunggu yang kebetulan nurse. Gue curhat lah tentang si dokter ini. Kata teman gue, memang di sini dokter ga gampang ngasih antibiotik. Lagian kalo cuma alergi memang ga perlu obat, tapi memang sebagai dokter ada baiknya dia menginformasikan semua itu, khan? Trus..nanya2 GP yang dia pake dan dia merekomendasikan GP dia. Ga gitu jauh dari rumah gue juga, yah..lain kali mo coba juga, deh..
Ga lama setelah batuk, si alergi berpindah mencari mangsa lain. Badan gue gatal2. Yah..untung udah pernah kejadian jadi ga gue garukin jadi emang ga membengkak. Sempat kepikir dalam hati gue, di Australia aja yang dingin baru segini, gue udah hampir KO gini. Gimana kalo dulu jadi ditempati di Colorado, yah? Udah mati berdiri, ngkali gue. Haha..
Untungnya sekarang semua symptoms udah hilang. Sekarang gue baik-baik aja. Ga ada batuk, gatal-gatal, sore throat dan lain-lain. Soalnya gue pengen liburan, niy.. Haha...

Grading Test
Jumat kemarin adalah Taekwondo Grading Test pertama kalinya buat anak2 gue. Hhhmmm...mereka exciting banget tapi gue yakin juga agak sedikit nervous. Nah..acaranya dimulai pukul 18.30 tapi mereka diharapkan hadir sebelumnya buat pemanasan. Nah..seperti biasa jam 18.00 udah pada ribut ngajakin pergi karena takut terlambat.
Kita sampe di tempat tes pukul 18.15, udah ada juga ternyata yang hadir. Ga lama kemudian anak2 dipanggili buat pemanasan bersama para pemegang sabuk hitam. Duh..rasanya deg-degan juga tapi bangga juga ngeliatnya. Setelah pemanasan, ternyata Nathan dipisahkan sendiri dari kelompoknya. Di suruh berdiri di tengah. Wah, dia kayaknya agak bingun begitu juga gue. Ada apa, niy.. Ternyata mereka ngumpuli beberapa anak2 yang kecil banget - dari segi usia - supaya test-nya juga tersendiri. Mungkin maksudnya supaya si examiner ga terpengaruh dengan peserta tes yang udah gedean yang pastinya lebih bagus menerima perintah dan bersikap, ngkali ya..
Nah, pendek kata Nathan adalah kelompok pertama yang diuji. Duh..gue bangga banget ngeliatnya. Dengan badan begitu kecil, dia dengan bersemangat mengikuti perintah gerakan untuk kicking and punching. My little boy are beginning to stand for himself.
Kelompok ke-2 adalah anak gue ke-1 dan ke-2. Hhmmm...kayaknya gerekan mereka lumayan bagus. Mudah2an bisa langsung ngelompat 2 tingkat supaya langsung dapat yellow belt. hehe..
Ini foto Nathan waktu tes. Katanya boleh diambil foto tapi ga boleh divideo-in. Tapi waktu moto, yah koq cuma gue sendiri, yah? hehe..karena ga enak ati, Ariel dan Brian jadi ga ke-photo, deh.. Mudah-mudahan kalo pembagian sertifikat nanti bisa di foto, yah..

The Guest for Yesterday, Gugu
Kemarin Nathan pulang dengan membawa Gugu - si alien tamu di kelasnya yang mau menghabiskan waktunya di rumah his classmate each every night. So..pulang lah kita bersama si Gugu ini. Hehehee...
Pertama-tama Gugu nemani Nathan untuk ketemu si dentist. Yah..dia ikutan nunggu juga di ruang tunggu si dokter, dong. Trus..dari dentist langsung ke tempat latihan Taekwondo karena udah jam 17.20 dari kota dan kayaknya ga kekejar kalo mesti pulang dulu buat ganti baju. Untung gue udah bawain pakaian latihan anak2. Tapi karena mepet banget waktunya dan banyak bawaan, yah..si Gugu ketinggalan di mobil. Ga sempat ngeliat Nathan latihan kicking and punching, deh.. Mudah-mudahan dia ga kedinginan dan ketakutan di tinggal sendiri di mobil. Hihihi...
Sampe di rumah, sambil nunggu makan malam siap, Nathan nonton TV bareng Gugu. Setelah makan malam, kami sama-sama ngisi buku diary Gugu, menceritakan kegiatan Gugu bersama Nathan seharian ini. Trus..sambil nunggu Nathan sikat gigi, kayaknya Gugu belum ada giginya, sih...Gugu nonton TV lagi. Setelah itu bobo' deh..
Nice to have you with us, Gugu...
My Big Breakfast
Pengen aja ngasih tahu. Nah...pagi ini seperti biasa yah..bangun n bangunan anak2 buat siap-siap ke sekolah. Nah, karena suami gue lagi away, yah...kudu termasuk ngantar anak2, deh.. Nah, seperti biasa jam 08.20 am udah berangkat karena Ariel yang harus diantar duluan tiap harinya ada home group yang dimulai jam 08.35 am. Udah 2 hari ini dia ga telat, loh... Hebat deh mama yang satu ini. Hehe...
Nah, pulang antar anak-anak ke sekolah, yah..jam 08.45 am juga udah nyampe, wong...sekolahnya dekat-dekat sini ajah. Abis, rapiin kamar, masuki cucian, yah..acara bebas pengen sarapan yang lumayan gede. Kepikir deh..dengan yang ada di kepala. PANCAKE. Cihhhuuyyy....
Pengen tahu gimana sarapan gue tadi? Nah...ini dia...

Giginya Nathan
Seperti yang udah gue jadwalkan di MP gue, kalo kemarin adalah jadwal Nathan ketemu Pediatric Dentist. Sebenarnya gue udah bawa dia beberapa kali ke dental clinic around my house karena gigi Nathan butuh ditambal. Tapi mereka (gue sampe nyoba 2 dentists, niy..) nyarankan ketemu dengan specialist karena dia terlalu kecil untuk dapat treatment biasa. Yah..sudah gue ngalah, gue buat janjilah ke pediatrician dentist-nya yang cuma ada di sekitar kota, yah..lumayan jauh, deh..
Nah, sampe di sana si dentist cek ulang lagi semua giginya. Dan menyarankan treatment terbaik adalah hospitalization. Alamakkk...repot banget ngurusin gigi, niy.. Soalnya banyak banget gigi Nathan yang lubang dan beberapa diantaranya disarankan make yang warna silver itu karena berada di daerah geraham yang akan baru lepas pada saat dia usia 12 tahun, lebih kuat dan tentu lebih mahal - almost twice the price yang putih. Hiks.. Jadi menurut si dentist treatment-nya bakal worth banget karena sekarang Nathan juga baru usia 5 tahun.
Gue bilang ke dokternya, kalo gue butuh konsultasi dengan asuransi kesehatan gue dulu. Soalnya asuransi gue is based in UK, tempat kantor pusat suami gue. Jadi term yang jalan buat gue adalah sebagai international client yang umumnya pake sistem reimbursement. Jadi repot banget pake ngisi formulir macam2 dan ngirim ke UK lagi semua forms dan receipts. Nah, tambah lagi benefit gue cuma diganti 50% untuk dental tapi emang 100% untuk hospitalization. Nah, kalo si asuransi mau mengcover urusan gigi Nathan sebagai hospitalization coverage, nah enak. Tapi kalo cuma dental, yah...lumayan juga since from the quick quote si dentist kemarin biayanya bisa sampe AU $ 2700. Hik..hiks... Jadi kangen pulkam. Di Indonesia nambal satu gigi juga cuma 80 rebu. Ga pake repot mesti pake bius segala. Lagian dentist anak2ku di Batam udah kenal banget ama Nathan dan Nathan sebenarnya cukup co-operative, loh.
Yah, udah...mesti cepat2 masuki inquiry ke asuransi, ga tahu berapa lama jawabannya, niy.. Sabar, yah Nathan. Makanya jangan hobby makan permen...

Night Out for 2
Yesterday, my husband's boss invited us to have dinner with him. Actually this plan was set since last Sunday since he had promised himself to bring me out for dinner every time he visited us in Australia. What a boss, right? So..he asked me what kind of food I like and I chosed steak for yesterday. My husband made appointment to the 4-5 star steak restaurant in town, we got Cos in Leigh Street yesterday since the famoust one, in North Terrace is not available until Monday.
This was also the first time for us to leave the kids at home. But I made a appointment few days earlier to a friend of mine to come to look after the kids for few hours. I saw her add from the children's school flyer and called her and had an interview with her. I also asked her police clearence and any recommendations her had from her previous jobs. And it turned out she was also a parent of children in the same school with my kids.
The night was just great. I enjoy the great food and great wine. We ordered Rose that night. I need to try something new since I had muscat last week with him also. It was sweet but little bit bitter. Different with muscat that very sweet that people usually have it for dessert. I also have Riesling at home for my enjoyment.
When we reached home at 10.30 pm, the kids were just fine and still playing with their playstation. It was great night and great experience for both of us since it is the first time we went out together and enjoy Hindley Street at night.

My IELTS Test
I got IELTS test yesterday. I registered it 2 months ago and the only available date was June 21th. This was the first time for me to do IELTS test. What are the differences between IELTS and TOEFL test? Well, as fas as I know since I only got TOEFL test in paper-based, it did not have any interview and writing test. I think I need to prepare very well for this IELTS since this was the first time, I need a certain band to accept my offering, and this was so expensive. Ha! The last reason was the greatest motive for me to get pass my score band since I did not need to pay and do it again later.
The test started at 09.00 am but the applicants were supposed to be at the test place 30 minutes before because the administrator need to check our identification. At 08.50 am, we started entering the hall by our application number. And at 09.00 am sharp, we started the test. The first test was listening test and it took about 30 minutes and we will get extra 10 minutes to transfer the answers to the answering sheet. Next was the reading test. It was 60 minutes long and including transfering the answer to the answering test. So read carefully and smartly since there were 3 long passages there compare with the passages in TOEFL test. Then writing test took about 60 minutes as well. The writing test was divided into 2 tasks with the 2nd task will hold more score than the 1st task. In the 1st task, we were asked to explain the charts, or diagram, or pictures showed on the question paper at least 150 words. But the 2nd tast was little bit more difficult since we were asked to give opinion or argument about the sentence they had provided for at least 250 words.
At around 12.00 pm the 1st part of the test was finished and we had been asked to look for the schedule outside the hall for our interview time and room. My schedule was at 14.50 so I could not join my husband and kids watching football game in Port Adelaide at 14.00. Sighs! Then I just walked over to the Rundle Mall to get my lunch. Around 14.00 I walked back to the test place and decided to wait there until my time.
The interview was held about 15 minutes. The interviewer asked so many questions, including about myself, my favourite books, musics, etc. At the first time it was okay but later on I felt little bit nervous. Hopefully I did well on the test since I really need the score pass my score band. Please God....

My Birthday
It was already passed actually but my friend asked me to tell the story about my birthday steak. Haha..actually it was just a regular steak and we had it in restaurant named Louisiana Tavern in Elizabeth area, a bit further from city.
We found this restaurant since we liked to watch movies in that mall. While waiting for the movie was about to start, my kids just loved to walk and run around the small green area in that open space. I saw the restaurant and told my husband that I wanted to celebrate my birthday in that restaurant since I missed the american food. Ha! Sounds so melancolic, right? Then just after Sunday Service we went to the restaurant to have lunch and watched movie afterward.
It was nice, family oriented, new restaurant. The interior was so warm, built with wood. Just like an usual old louisana tevern. I got my steak in medium cooked just the way i like it with big ceasar salads. The salads was so much better compare to the steak actually. Ha! But the best part was the bread. So warm, smell good and soft. We ordered them twice. Ha! Since there were kids so no beer or wine that day.
