Posting from Foreign Lands 1

This Christmas till New year, I'm not at home.
Finally!!! I'm going abroad..

My family from my father's side is taking a family trip to 3 different neighboring countries. Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand.
Wow..
well... Those who know me and my family would raise an eyebrow..
Coz, me and my father's family (the Sinagas) are well known for our financial management. Yeah.. yeah.. many people, including a close family of us, call us the family of uncle scrooge.
No doubt of it.

We're not a money spender kind, we save each cent of our earnings, and use it carefully.

But now, we'll going to spend a bunch of it. That will shock many people. huahahhaha...

My family do a gathering and also collect money in every month in an event Indonesians call Arisan. It's been 3 years of saving, and the sum of it can pay for the accomodation and transportation cost of 30 people in 7 families.

Wow.. That amazes me..
Coz, moments like Arisans usually used only to tighten the family bonding (and to spread family gossip too), but as far as I know, it never been used for economical reason. And my family really use every advantage of the Arisan.

I'm very proud of my family. And I wish, the spirit of the family leaders now can transcend to the youngsters too.. May we all will still be like this years afterwards.

Next posting, I'll share you my adventure in foreign lands..

Pray for my save journey, will ya...

God Bless
