1. Having a BBQ party at a coworker's place. It was so much fun. I laughed until my cheeks got sore LOL!!! And it was the perfect timing for the BBQ because the weather was good (the weather went downhill the next day until now).
2. My homemade pork satay (on the left side of the photo below) was a hit at the BBQ party. :-D Photo courtesy of my coworker HL:
3. I had a couple of guests coming today and we had fun, too. I cooked some rice, chicken panini and popped in some spring rolls and chicken nuggets in the oven and prepared some salad. It was enough for everybody (there's only a little leftover).
4. Surviving tough shifts at work this week. My body felt very sore after coming back home because of the pace and everything (summer busy weeks have started and a coworker has been sick for a while, so we're all swamped).
5. Playing hide the doll and hide-and-seek with my friend's daughter. :-D I managed to accidentally spook her once by hiding in a dark toilet ha ha...
6. The cheap huggable pillow I bought from our trip to Haparanda. It's been very useful to hug during the nights. In Finland the product will cost more than that (I was too used to sleeping with a bolster in Indo).

7. A coworker told me a funny story. Upon seeing me from the back at work, her 4-year-old asked her, "Mommy, mommy, is there a child working here?" ROFL ROFL ROFL...Yes, I was thought of as a child because I'm short ha ha ha ha ha ha...very funny! :-D :-D :-D
8. These words from the movie "Frozen" (yeah, we just saw it last night because we waited until the 3D disc came out): "Some people are just worth melting for." I thought it was such a brilliant line because it also showed how Olaf started to melt! :-D
9. Cheap new panties bought from Haparanda. Very comfy! :-D And hubby loves the tiny blings on them ha ha ha...
10. Coming home to hubby's homemade pizza. Yum! And I didn't even have to do a thing! :-D
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYY!!! I managed to call my parents again earlier today and I could talk to Mom, my brother, and his new wife he he he he he...
First of all, the wedding was a success though they said it was SO crowded there. They sent out 450 invitations and ordered 700 plates (portions of food). They held the wedding in one of the Chinese restaurants in Bandung. As usual, since it's a restaurant, they were ready to add more food if there were more guests. And indeed they had to add more food: 145 plates (portions) more!!! Gee...I can imagine how crowded it was even though they decided to rent both the first and second floor.
Even the restaurant owner was shocked and said to my Mom, "I've never seen these many guests coming to a wedding held here." HA HA HA HA HA...My Mom told me that it was because I didn't invite many relatives at all on my wedding day. Plus both my brother and his wife have SO MANY friends!!!!
Then my Mom said that my brother's wife's Mom kept on crying at church during the wedding ceremony. Poor her!!! Even today she came over to our house with her hubby to talk to their daughter he he he he...I guess they missed her already!!! ;-D My brother spent two nights in a hotel with his new bride, and then today they came back to my parents' place. They are given an upstairs bedroom and a small living room at the side of my parents' house so that they can get some privacy he he he...
Then I asked Mom to hand over the phone to my brother. My brother said that he was sweating like a pig NON-STOP for hours during the party since the room was so crowded. Oh daer he he he he...He bought a digital camera earlier today since tomorrow they're going to Bali on their honeymoon. I told him to be careful there and I wished him a nice honeymoon.
I also got to talk to his wife for a little while. She said that it was SO tiring he he he...but she was glad it was over. Then I asked how she liked her new bedroom. She said that she still couldn't sleep well since it felt weird that there was another "creature" sleeping next to her HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA...Ahem...then I wished her an enjoyable honeymoon as well and I didn't talk too long since I knew her parents wanted to talk to her, too.

I'm glad that now my parents have a new daughter he he he he...I hope that they'll live together harmoniously throughout the years and that God'll give them good health all through the coming days. ;-D And I'm GLAD finally my brother got himself a digital camera so he can keep on sending pictures of my familyyyyyyy via emaillll he he he he he he he he he he he he he...
I've been busy today, so I'll only begin blog-hopping now he he he he...All in all, today's a WONDERFUL Monday for me. Hope today's been MAGNIFICENT for you too! ;-D
