ゴールドコースト

I went to Goldcoast for the weekend with my parents, sister, and her fiance. It was supposed to be a welcome relief from my day to day routine, but alas it ended up as a rigid stifling weekend. My parents always bicker with each other and I can't keep up with their expectations, so I avoid them whenever I can. My sister always with her fiance, and I felt very lonely. They were there with me, but I didn't feel emotional connections whatsoever. I got a few consolations though, the stun driver show in Movie World was amazing and one of the drivers was very hot (pic down below). LOL.. Then I got to drive the Audi A4 that we rented and my parents got me a new dslr camera, Canon 500D. I would leave you with a few pics from the trip. Am so glad that it was over, but things would not be so rosy from tomorrow when they finally arrive in Melbourne.

典型的なインドネシアの家族は何ですか。

While sitting in a restaurant and waited for my take away, I was observing people around me. As i got bored of my observation subjects, an Audi Q5 appeared and I saw my perfect observation subjects, an Indonesian family! This is very much typical of many well off or wealthy Indonesian families:

* The dad is so overweight that he looks like a retired sumo wrestler
* The mother has hair as high as Taipei 101 and carry a LV multicolore handbag
* The sons wear nice shirts from Politix or Saba with thongs instead of shoes
* and the daughters would carry a Gucci handbag and a cheap outfits bought in Mangga Dua or Far East Plaza
* Then.. an expensive SUV will complete the picture....



I'm so mean hey... But it does describe my family into certain extend... and what my description of a typical Indonesian families do extend to gay people. We tend to quickly judge gay guys as promiscuous and superficial. I would blame it largely on those guys who are out and about in the scene. There are still a lot of gay guys who are more discreet, down to earth, and less happenings. Those rare commodities, however, are hard to grab. I hope, one day, I could find my prince charming, who is not a stereotypical gay guys.

Il n'y a qu' un bonheur dans la vie, c'est d'aimer et d'être aimé.

I'm confused.. Feel like I'm becoming more anti social these days. Despite the improvement in my moods and feelings, I still feel a little lost. Once, I was leashed and confined. Suddenly, I got all these freedom from being unleashed and only think for me me me and me.... There's almost no one else to consider. It's kinda weird and good at the same time. I also don't know how my relations with this virtual date will continue. Rationally, it's a waste of time and hopeless, but it's kinda hard when the heart betrays my rationality and my mind to do the right thing. Just like what I have been doing with my ex.

Parents visit is looming and I still have to confirm my moving out date asap. I still have to change my address on my bills, uni, etc, then arrange for cleaning to be done, take my parents around when they are here, and so on. So many things to do, so little time to have...
