A couple of photos from last weekend when we went into the city to a buddha birthday festival (although Vesak day is not until 12 May)

He really wanted that butterfly :)

Emily really loves dragons. This green dragon was irresistible to her

And here are some photos from the birthday party the other week. I put the photos online in the image gallery but did not actually include them in a post

It can be said that I am impetuous at times but I am sure that this time I have made the right decision.

The last couple of years I have had a really bad time with my domestic life. I have found it hard to meet people and whenever I have met girls that I have been interested in they have had different needs to me.

I know that my feelings of depression have been caused by my wanting to have companionship but being unable to find success in this area.

With that in mind I joined a couple of online dating lists but ended up feeling even worse when I failed to get any interest from my attempts.

Online dating aside I am also a member of a social networking website called Friendster, which I use to chat with friends and share photos with some of the people that I chat to. I don’t really consider this a dating website but it seems that I have found an interest there.

A girl in Sydney messaged me just to say hi because she was surprised that I could speak Indonesian, so I messaged her back with my email so she could add me to her friend list. She sent me an email, I sent her my phone number and we started SMS’ing.

Then we started having long phone conversations, which is unusual because I normally get distracted after about 20 or 30 minutes, but we just keep on talking.

So back to being impetuous.. At the end of the month I am flying 4000km to visit her in Sydney.

Yes, this may be crazy but we have just hit it off so well and I have to follow my heart. I don’t want to spend the rest of my life wondering if she could have been the one for me.
