After the lunch, a car comes picking us up and drops us at our apartment. We all live in the same building but different floors, mine is 30th

"Mommy! I like it here!" Olivia days with beautiful sparkling eyes"Really? Do you want to stroll the city before dinner?" I ask Olivia"Can we? But, aren't you tired, Mommy?"

"Mommy! I like it here!" Olivia days with beautiful sparkling eyes
"Really? Do you want to stroll the city before dinner?" I ask Olivia
"Can we? But, aren't you tired, Mommy?"

She's such a good girl. But I feel very eager to walk in this city with Olivia
"Of course I'm not tired. Besides, I really want to stuff my tummy with aaaalll Korean food! Hahaha" I say as I give Olivia a lot of kisses

A few hours later..
"Olivia, I don't think I can take in any more food. I'm so full! Gosh!"
she giggles while eating her ice cream.

So this is how spring feels in Seoul.. Ah, the company is very close to our apartment. I don't have to worry about the transportation then.

While enjoying the night scene in Seoul, I call my parents and they say they will move here in a month.
What a relief.

Grocery shopping, done ✔️
School supplies shopping, done ✔️
House chores, done ✔️

it's our second day in Seoul, and I start to gain a little confident after talking with my friends on skype. How I wish they were here..

*knocks knocks*
"Who might that be?" I ask myself while looking at Olivia

It's Jullie and Martin
"Get in, guys.."
"Whoaa.. your apartment is very different from mine!" says Martin
"Aha, like, how different? Aren't we getting the same type of apartment?" I ask
"No.. no, what I mean is, your apartment is very neat and tidy!"
Jullie laughs, "I guess it's because she's a mother"

"I always feel weird if I don't clean up the house, it has been a habit way before I have Olivia"
"Really? Guess I'll have to learn from you!" Jullie says cheerfully

While I cook pasta for our dinner, Jullie, Martin and Olivia are learning Korean together. I can say, Korean is a whole new world for me. In order to speak Korean, we have to learn hangun and pronuncation. It's very different when I learn Bahasa Indonesia to English, English to Dutch.

"Guys, come here! Dinner's ready"
"YEAAAY I LOVE PASTA!" says Olivia happily

I cook her favorite food, Mac n Cheese. And for the adults, Spaghetti Aglio E Olio.

"Adri.. Thank you so much for cooking us delicious food! We enjoyed it so much" says Martin and Jullie.

"Nah, I'm really happy to cook for my friends"
"Please teach me how to make that Spaghetti one day, okay?!" says Martin
"Yeah, but teach me how to memorize these Hangul"

and the night is spent with learning Korean together at my apartment.

*the next day*

My 3 best friends, Adiva, Neyla, and Danielle surprise me by coming to Seoul. They take a leave from work just to help me taking care of Olivia so I can get ready for my first day of work. I'm beyond blessed
