1st Day - North Sydney Wahroonga

We got to stay at my cousin's Mira & Beni.
Such a lovely couple. I did this 18 years ago, when I was expelled from my Junior high school in Japan, and stayed at Mira's room in Salatiga before. Beni her boyfriend then, is now the Dad of her 3 lovely children.

This is house is located in North Sydney, and called Wahroonga. (30 minutes from Central Sydney by Train.) It is a very greeny area, with three of the best schools in the neighbour. This area is actually within the national park!!

Houses here are heritage listed, and you can't renovate the outlook of the house. Therefore, the neighbour maintains an era of colonial design throughout.
We need that regulation in Jakarta, don't we?

The House

This is the house. Can't believe that this is a house with two elementary kids and one baby !!!!
So tidy !! We were so impressed that this can be done without a maid, and without a housewife!!

The Kids

What you need, to have a tidy house is a few well organized tidy kids.
Yup, you don't need to yell at Inez or Irene to do their homework, or practice piano.
Oh ya, and you need a naked baby, Ignatius.
I have never been a big fan of kids, but how can you not get to love these three little ones. Their Santa's favourite kids !

Hot Plate BBQ

We arrived at Sydney at around 7am. Took a few hours nap, and decided to have Hotplate BBQ at the garden for dinner.

Just what Jakartans need. Fresh Air !!

Daisei & Kak Beni are real gourmet freeks. It is not a coinsidence that me & Mira as the T-family females, gracefully let the men take the lead for dinner. With Daisei & Kak Beni in charge, nothing can go wrong.
