Tika's Note: Washington State-Lake Stevens-Exchange student

i'll continue my story :)
yap i lived in Lake Steven for about 3 weeks maybe i'm not sure :P
i live there till i got my permanent hostfam :)
oke, i've told you guys that i lived with mom,dad,bam,and our pets ( you know exactly that american people really love their pets and we have 6 pets, CooLLLLL)
the view from their house is really beautiful :) we can see the lake from our living room :)
and one thing i amazed from mom and dad's house....their kitchen LoL
it's so cool,, hha yah almost like all american kitchen with microwave,dishwasher,refigerator, but my favorite is (tempat cuci piringnya not dishwasher :P) if we push a button there, "tempat cuci piring" akan nyedot sisa2 makanan kita hahahaahaha g perlu susah2 nyari tong sampah :P.
Unfortunately, i dont have the picture of it :(
Yeah, because WA school start on September 8th, i still had almost one month holiday :P
i just spent my holiday at home :( hha bored? sometimes
i watched movie and played internet were my activities at home :P
but then mom and dad invited us to watch movie (excited? of course it's my first time go cinema here :P), we watched "inception" i already watched it when i was in Indonesia :P, than guess what??? i just slept during the movie LOL ! it because i was so tired :) hha (lagi puasa buuuu hawanya pengin tidur) but at least i have ever watched that movie before,hhehe
i also did a volunteri job :) kinda fun! our curch has like an event named "citi fest" there was a lot of "Stan" like face painting, family photo, finger nails, bike repair, and so on. And i did face painting, kinda fun ! it was my first time LoL i was so nervous but i can do it! Fun fun fun!!

We had some picture to order (blues cluse-gimana sih spellnya?-,- . rainbow, flower, monkey, cros, love,and many more :). One thing that i amazed (again) there was no garbage on the land :') every body throw their garbage in the rubish, bayangin kalo pasar malem di Indonesia? sampah dimana-mana :( . jadi inget dari guruku :
"ada sebuah museum mainan yang sangat besar dan penuh dengan permainan yang menyenangkan, saat itu semua anak dari seluruh dunia berkumpul untuk pembukaan museum, saat museum di buka ternyata banyak sampah didalam museum hampir semua anak dari seluruh dunia memulai membersihkan sampah sebelum mulai bermain, kecuali satu anak yang tetap cuek dan memilih untuk langsung bermain instead of mungutin sampah, sayang sekali anak itu adalah anak indonesia :( "
Ayo kawan kita ubah persepsi itu! YES WE CAN!!

Back to topic :P
Yeah, than on August 23rd we also had BBQ party!!! That was so blast fun!! but it made me broke my fasting :'( i felt so regret huhuu. Yeah that was the event for welcoming we! Exchange student from around the world :P.
So there're a rich people who has a big house by the lake, and usually they borrowed their house for us :P
yeah i met a lot of frieng there :), i had to wake up in the early morning because my dad has to picked up another student, wow that was cool!! Sekalian jalan2 hhha
