Precious Memories
with Alan & Orietta
Croydon, Melbourne

Met Alan for the first time.
The only thing I can tell is that
What a nice, wise man he was!
I soon felt, he was a compassionate man.

Nice home, Alan, Orietta.
If only we had got a longer time to stay
we would have liked to make more visits
to your lovely and cozy home.

Orietta
A dear friend
we would like to cherish.
She is not only beautiful
but also so friendly, warm,
caring, and thoughtful.

Two precious friends
who made our stay in Melbourne
feel like home.

Sitting comfortably and peacefully
in Comfort Inn

I don't know when we can see you again
but please know that whatever happens,
I feel lucky I met kind people like you
in this life.

I don't remember if it is
Eastland Shopping Mall,
a mall that is located
not so far from Comfort Inn,
the inn that Alan and Orietta
had carefully chosen for us.


Thank you, Alan
Thank you, Orietta
you made things so eazy
when we stayed in your area.

Melbourne: Croydon

with Alan

You and Orietta were the first persons in Melbourne
who helped us get proper information on
getting to Australia.

How wouldn't we be so thankful to you
for visiting us at the hotel
while you yourself were not feeling really fine.

Everyone of us (Deki, my mom, Holly,
my aunt Betty, and me)
will hold you and Orietta so dear to our hearts.

Whether we can see each other again or not
is not really important.
What is important is that
my family and I have such
a pleasant memory of Croydon, Melbourne
because of YOU!

Thank you, Alan,
Thank you, Orietta

Sleeping Koala @ Koala Conservation Center

Ketika saya melihatnya pertama kali, terasa sedikit merinding, karena ternyata Koala yang sedang tidur di pohon Eucalyptus, sejenis pohon kayu putih, punya cakar yang cukup menyeramkan: panjang, agak melengkung ke dalam, dan panjang. Tentu saja ia punya cakar seperti itu, kalau tidak, bagaimana dia akan menahan tubuhnya sendiri di atas pohon kalau dia sedang tertidur pulas selama 21 jam sehari?

Walaupun menyeramkan, kalau kita perhatikan lebih dekat, wajahnya sangat lucu, imuuut, dan selalu menimbulkan kesan "memelas"... jauh dari kesan buas. Bulunya yang tampak halus, lembut, memang tak ubahnya boneka koala yang pernah saya miliki dulu... hadiah dari seorang teman dekat.
