On 11 June 2008 I flew to Sydney, saya dan mami naik pesawat Garuda. Perjalanan dari Salatiga ke Airport Yogya kami tempuh pada pagi hari. Lalu, dari Yogya kami terbang ke Denpasar, Bali siang itu. Kira-kira jam 12 tengah malam waktu Bali kami terbang ke Sydney. It was my first time having a long journey. I am sorry, it was actually not my first time travel with airplane since I was born in the Netherlands. I had my first air travel when me and mom returned from the Netherlands to Indonesia, but I was a little baby so I didn’t know how it was.
We arrived in the next morning, around 7am Sydney time. After long queuing at the immigration and custom checking, we went out the airport and met Neil and Oma Jenny at the arrival gate. Oma Jenny then drove us home. At that time, I felt it was very cold because I arrived at the end of Autumn and a transition to Winter.

My dad said we stay at 120 Epping Rd, North Ryde, New South Wales. We live in a shared house. Our house just at the main street of North Ryde suburb. Not too far from the house there is a shopping centre, Macquarie Centre, but the interesting thing for me is a park which is just across the shopping centre.
After a few days resting, I asked my dad to bring me there. I also visited Macquarie University, where he is taking his PhD. And after a week, my dad brought me also to a school that I will attend. The school is just close to my house. We just walked to the school and met the principal of the school, Mrs. Shannon. She said I will soon be joining year 2 after I got a letter from the government to enroll.
