yay! 2 more days...
...until i go to portugal!
i finally booked my flight to portugal, leaving saturday from amsterdam, direct flight to oporto, and returning the following saturday. am staying with yacinta for a week. hooray!
my roles next week will be:
1. babysitter: yay! babysitting my nephew xavier while his parents are at work!
2. resident chef: my sister can only cook one thing, and that is nasi goreng, fried rice (but she makes the best fried rice ever). she calls me sometimes, tearful, missing my cooking, telling me that she'd only eaten indomie instant noodles for dinner. pitiful. *aduh ade, kasian deh lo, ga bisa masak*
3. dissertation mentor: yacinta has been a bit stressed about her thesis so we're going to sit and work together on it next week. if i thought ravensbourne was giving their students very little support in thesis writing, yacinta's university offers even less. oops, you're not supposed to say "very little support", at ravensbourne they call that "encouraging independent thought".
4. design consultant: am helping the subudyouth with their nomads website project. i am working together with silvia, so i may have to pop down to lisbon, or she comes up to oporto for a day. nomads is a roadtrip starting from lisbon, portugal and ending in innsbruck, austria, lasting for five days in july 2005. any subud youth (or anyone who feels young, that is) from any country is welcome to join. it will be good fun, and you'll meet lots of young people from all over the world. maybe i will see you there :)
phew! that is a lot to do in a week, isn't it? that's not all though...
5. spoiled daughter: my mom is arriving in portugal sometime in the middle of next week! yay! i have asked her to bring me the following: pempek palembang *yang banyak ya, ma*, bakmie GM; *ma, jangan lupa sayurannya diambilin biar ga basi selama perjalanan*, and rendang (specially cooked by my aunt anne)... yumm, we're going to have a food fest...
i'm happy, i miss portuguese living, i'm soooo looking forward... :)
