Liana & Clayton

Clayton had to attend the conference in Canberra on Friday 16th. He decided to take me and Aditya with him so we could have a short holidays there. We drove to get to Canberra and it took 9 hours to get there and it was include the stopped for a rest aqnd lunch. Also I needed to feed Aditya and changed his nappy. We left Bendigo at 9am and got into Canberra at 6pm.

When we finished unloaded our lugaged we went out to look for a nice place to have our dinner. We went to chinese restaurant and had a very nice food there.

On Friday when Clayton went for the conference, Aditya and I took a walk in tthe city. We did a window shopping. In the evening when Clayton came back from the conference we arranged to meet his friend John who lived in Canberra. We had a picnic on the Lake Barley Griffin with John and his wife Vicky and also his cute son Michael. We had pizza and zuchini balls.

The next day we visited John and his family. They took us to see Cockington Green. It was a very nice place to visit. You could see a lot of mini building and places from around the world. Vicky had to take Michael home because he was tired. So John came with us in our car to take us to see the Parliament House. We did a tour and the things that amazed me was a very big tapestry who made by hand. It took more than a year to finished that tapestry. It was made based on the painting which painted by an artist Arthur Boyd in 1984. The weight of the tapistry was an half tonnes. The tour guide also told us that the name of Canberra was taken from the Aboriginal laguage meant meeting point. She showed us some parts of the building.

John also took us to see the War Memorial. Unfortunately we were late. They were nearly closed. We just saw a little bit of the closing ceremony but that was fine. Maybe if we came to Canberra next time we could visit this place.

On Sunday, Clayton took Aditya and I to see Sydney. We drove to Sydney suburb called Campbelltown. We parked our car in the station and took a train from there. It took one and half hour to get to the central of Sydney. We visited the Sydney Opera House and did the tour. It was a very beautiful building. Salute for the designer who planned this beautiful building. As usual I forgot his name but I really appreciated his amazing work. When the tour guide took us into one of the performance room she said that the the first and the second row of the seat near the stage was build under the sea level. How amazing.

From the Sydney Opera House we could see a famous Sydney Harbour Bridge.

We also took a ferry ride. Before we left Sydney, we visited Central Point Tower.It was so high and we could saw the view of Sydney from the top of this tower. The size of this tower was more than 4 times a high as the Opera house and more than double the height of the Harbour Bridge. Could you imagine that

Anyway…it was a big trip for Clayton and I….specially for our little Aditya but we enjoyed it

Beberapa wkt yg lalu, gw taro Aditya di tmpt tdr gw. Biasanya klu di tmpt tdr gw, dia bisa tdr siang agak lamaan. Udah gitu gw tinggal dia di kamar sendirian krn gw hrs masak for a dinner. Meski hari itu hari Sabtu, Clayton hrs kerja krn kebetulan dia dpt giliran utk kerja di bagian informasi di perpustakaan.

Sambil masak, gw juga ngobrol sama temen gw di telp. Gw denger Aditya nagis di kamar, tp itu biasa krn memang dia agak rewel. Ngga lama gw denger dia ngga ada suaranya…so gw pikir pasti dia dah tdr nyenyak. Tiba2 gw denger dia nangis lagi…berhubung gw msh telp2an sama temen sambil masak, gw biarin aza dia nangis.

Setelah selesai masak n telp2an sama temen gw, gw ngecheck dia di kamar. Pas gw buka pintu kamar ternyata Aditya dah ngga ada di tmpt tdr gw. Gw noleh ke bassinettenya yg ada di samping tmpt tdr gw krn gw pikir Clayton mindahin dia kesitu sblm dia berangkat kerja. Tp ngga ada juga. Yg gw denger cuma suara nangisnya doank. Gw langsung nyari2 Aditya n tanpa disangka2, Aditya ada di bawah tmpt tdr gw dg posisi tengkurep. Dia lg berusaha utk telentang. Mukanya merah bgt…hehehehe….ternyata Aditya jatuh saudara2….sebenernya pas saat itu gw agak khawatir. Tp skrng klu dipikir2 lucu juga…hehehehe… Ternyata pas dia nangis, kakinya nendang2 terus & itu ngebadan dia kebelakang smp akhirnya jatoh dr tmpt tdr.

Last Friday I called my friend and we chatted for a while. Suddenly she offered me her gold fish. She said that her husband wanted to flush the fish because it was so bully That fish liked to bite the other fish’s tail,hahahaha…. So I agreed to take care of him. My friend, her husband and their son dropped the fish. It was a black gold fish. At that time we didn’t have any fish tank, so we put the fish into the  round vase and put some sheels in it.

On Sunday after the church, we went to look for a fish tank. We got a nice little fiah tank for our fish. We hoped he would like it. On the way home, we discussed what would we called that bully fish. I wanted to called him "bul-bul the bully" but Clayton said that that name was very difficult to remember. He gave me an idea to call him "billy" and it sounded good. So I decided to call him billy….billy the kid,hahahaha…. but after a while I liked to call him "silly billy" because he was silly

Cinta datang mengetuk pintu hati,

kemudian bersemi di padang sunyi

Tapi sayang sungguh sayang,

ketika Cinta mimbang menanti

Cinta itu harus pergi

Namun Cinta selalu akan membekas di dalam hati

sebagai memori yang tak ternodai

Klu diceritain secara lengkap mgkn pnjg bgt ceritanya, so gw singkat aza kali ya. Kehamilan gw berjln lancar smp pd minggu ke-34. Pas gw check kehamilan t’nyata gw kena darah tinggi. So gw t’paksa tinggal di RS. Gw tinggal di RS mulai tgl 9 Mei. Tiap 2 jam sekali perawat ngecheck tensi gw & tensi gw udah kaya yoyo, naik turun trs. Gw hrs mengkonsumsi obat2an darah tinggi yg dosisnya trs dinaikin. Tp walaupun dosisnya udah dinaikin bahkan ditambah obat2an lain, tensi gw tetep ngga b’ubah. Para dokter di RS khawatir akan keselamatan gw n bayi gw. Mereka takut klu darah tinggi gw b’pengaruh pd ginjal & hati gw begitu juga dg plasenta & aliran darah ke bayi gw. Smp pd akhirnya mereka ngambil keputusan utk ngeluarin bayi gw hari Jumat, 25 Mei jam 2pm. Tp rencana tinggal rencana, pas hari Kamis, 24 Mei tensi gw smp 170/105 dan saat itu jg dokter mutusin utk melakukan sesar krn mrk takut bayi gw collapse. Gw kaget n bingung hrs bagaimana. Jam 4pm gw disiapin utk masuk ruang operasi smp akhirnya Aditya lahir pd jam 5.58pm. Betapa bersyukurnya gw akhirnya bayi gw bisa lahir dg selamat dan hilang sudah rasa khawatir gw. Aditya lahir 3 minggu lbh awal dg berat 2,304kg & panjang 45,8cm. He is a gorgeous little boy. Aditya hrs tinggal di Special Care Unit & dipasangin selang utk nyalurin susu krn gw blm bisa nyusuin dia. Tp stlh dia udah bisa nyusu, selangnya dilepas & dia udah bisa keluar dr Special care Unit. Gw & Aditya tinggal 1 minggu di RS stlh kelahiran Aditya. Kita berdua pulang ke rmh bersama Kamis, 31 Mei. Home sweet home, akhirnya gw bs ngerasain tinggal di rmh lg stlh 3 minggu tinggal di RS. Lega rasanya….

Well, kejadian ini terjadi beberapa minggu yg lalu. Awal cerita gw mau masak gado2 utk mkn mlm. Gw ngerebus air di teko yg pake listrik. Pas udah mateng, gw langsung matiin teko itu, tp sialnya gw lupa cabut kabel teko. Alhasil pas gw tarik teko tumpahlah air panas yg ada di dlmnya ke perut gw bagian kanan. terang aza gw panik n langsung ngelepas teko dr tangan gw. Pas teko jatuh ke lantai, air panasnya numpahin kaki kanan gw, bener2 apes dech.

Gw langsung buka baju n ternyata kulit perut gw udah ngelupas…iiihhhhh…menakutkan. Gw nangis aza keras2 n langsung ke kamar mandi utk ambil Gel Aloe Vera n langsung gw olesin ke perut n kaki gw. Abiz itu gw langsung telp Clayton yg kebetulan msh kerja. Untungnya jarak tmpt kerjanya ngga jauh dr rmh. So dia bisa cepet smp rmh.

Pas dia nyampe, dia langsung telp ambulance utk bawa gw ke Emergency Room. Trus operatornya ngasih saran klu kesirem air panas n kulitnya udah mengelupas, jgn dipakein Gel apapun. Dia ngasih tahu utk langsung mandi dg air dingin. Krn Gel bukannya menghilangkan rasa panas, tp malah menyimpan panas di kulit. Gel bisa diolesin ke kulit yg terkena air panas tp ngga ngelupas dan juga diolesin setelah luka kering.

Clayton langsung ngambil gelas dg air dingin di dlmnya. Dia coba utk nyirem luka gw dg air itu, sumpah perih banget bo…tp emang abiz itu luka gw agak mendingan dikit, ngga byk,hehehe…

Gw langsung masuk ke Emergency n dikasih pain relief juga perban utk nutupin luka bakarnya. Kata dokter, luka gw itu termasuk 2nd degree burnt (1%). Dan Puji Tuhan kejadian ini ngga mempengaruhi bayi yg ada di kandungan gw.

Nach…itu aza cerita gw, mudah2an bisa berguna utk teman2 yg mgkn mengalami kejadian serupa nantinya. Ciao…

Clayton punya kebiasaan ngedengerin berita dari Radio BBC di komputer…katanya sich sekalian belajar utk ngertiin apa yg disiarin di acara radio itu krn kebetulan siaran itu pake Bahasa Indonesia. Singkat cerita, tiba-tiba dia komentar tentang penyiar radio itu : "Hon, he said damn good. That’s funny". Gw sedikit bingung, krn yg gw tahu siaran itu pake bahasa Indonesia. Pas gw coba puter lagi…ternyata penyiar itu bilang "direnggut"….gw ketawa ngga berhenti-berhenti sampai Clayton malu sendiri…hehehehe…..kok jauh banget ya..??? Damn Good sama Direnggut….

Gw & Clayton ngerayain Anniversary kita yg ke-2 di Bright. Kita mutusin utk pergi kesana krn daerah tsb cukup terkenal keindahannya saat autumn. Kita udah booking motel juga utk semlm. Bruiser (our puppy) ngga ketinggalan….dia kita bawa juga kesana. Tp emang lg bernasib sial….stlh kita tiba di Bright dan berjln2 di taman, Bruiser bertingkah aneh dan keliatan kesakitan. Gw pikir dia cuma kena duri…so gw berencana mandiin dia setelah itu. Sebelum balik ke motel, gw & Clay mutusin utk belanja dulu di mini market, Bruiser kita tinggal di dlm mobil. Pas kita balik ke mobil….gw nyium bau ngga enak & ternyata Bruiser muntah. Ngga cuma itu aza…muka, mulut, mata dan kaki kiri depannya bengkak. Kita baru tahu klu dia ternyata disengat tawon…Gw panik bgt…. Krn kita ngga tahu di mana dokter hewan yg ada di daerah itu, kita terpaksa ke informasi utk cari tahu dokter hewan terdekat. Ternyata dokter hewan terdekat jaraknya cukup jauh…sekitar 30 menit dr Bright. Bruiser dpt 2 suntikan…& cukup mahal bo….Abiz itu kita balik ke motel dan jagain Bruiser. Pdhl kita ada rencana dinner keluar…tp berhubung Bruiser sakit, batal dech acara kita berdua….Tp ngga cuma itu aza…pagi harinya Bruiser udah sehat..so kita mutusin utk jln2 ke Mt. Buffalo. Perjalanan kesana cukup jauh…tp pas udah smp disana, kita ngga diizinin masuk sama penjaganya…krn kita bawa anjing di dlm mobil. Penjaga itu bilang anjing ngga diizinin masuk ke National Park. Terpaksa dech kita balik…hik…hik….
