习惯有你

This is the horse that brought me to the crater of Gunung Bromo. The man standing besides is the master of the horse.

强颜欢笑

每天都得一大早就爬到火山的顶端，开始为一天的生活费劳碌。
自己的苦，永远只有自己才最明白。

请你许个愿- Make A Wish

Local residents believe that wishes would come true after making wishes and throw the flowers into the crater of Gunung Bromo and normally the flowers to be thrown in are beautifully decorated by themselves. Goats, cows, chickens and ducks are banned by the local government nowadays. That is why people replaced the animals by flowers.

Gunung Bromo- Mt. Bromo

Mount Bromo is in the middle of vast plain called the Sand Sea (Indonesian: Lautan Pasir), a protected nature reserved since 1919. The typical way to visit Mount Bromo is from the nearby mountain village of Cemoro Lawang. From there it is possible to walk to the volcano in about 45 minutes, but it is also possible to take an organised jeep tour, which includes a stop at the viewpoint on Mount Penanjakan (2,770 meters) (Indonesian: Gunung Penanjakan). The best views from Mount Bromo to the Sand Sea below and the surrounding volcanoes are at sunrise. The viewpoint on Mount Penanjakan can also be reached on foot in about two hours. From inside the caldera, sulfur is collected by workers.

敬你一杯

People here in Gunung Bromo (Mt. Bromo) used to rest at the stalls which are selling snacks, instant noodles, hot beverages and many more before they continue their journey to the crater of Gunung Bromo. They used to sit on the small little wooden stool and having their hot beverage just like the guy in this photograph.

Thusday Morning 9:00am

Have been awhile that I did not write any entry here huh?
People might be thinking that why does this fellow like to write in English but sometimes in Chinese?
Actually It depends on the mood of the day that I was having.
The weather seems bad today morning, the skies covered by a very thick layer of cloud.
I think the cloud ceiling is only a thousand feet or more. The wind is blowing strongly, staking out and looking at the skies, I miss home and I miss everyone who is distance apart from me.
Silently, the rain start falling on the floor, smoothly and secretly by the time I turned back and look up to the sky.
I can hear the leaves clapping their hands and the rain has start falling..Not too much, just like the shower.
Listening to the Jazz music and watching the rain..
You are my only one, my family and you.

Rainy day

爱满叶家

我是一个会经常面对思乡病的人，记得小时候在阿姨家睡的时候，突然觉得胸口闷闷，心里有种很酸的感觉，那时候脑海里一直出现爸妈的脸孔，只觉得心情很差很想哭，所以逼得阿姨让爸妈在三更半夜把我带回家，这就是我第一次的思乡病。
现在人长大了，但是对家里的心还是没有变，可以说对家人的爱一天比一天地深。
离乡背井让我的思想成长了许多，学着不再依赖父母，很多东西也要自己拿主意，已经不能什么事都跑到父母那里诉苦了。
以前小的时候根本就没有烦恼，唯一烦的就是每次发成绩的时候，担心又要被妈妈狠狠地打一顿了。小学开始妈妈就从来都没有到学校领过成绩册，每次都是爸爸自己一人开着他那小货车去领的，因为妈妈说这么烂的成绩会很丢脸，每次我都会坐在班上的后面看着爸爸的表情，每次领了过后他都会笑着说考得不错，没有被调去下一班哦。那时我和弟弟是在从后算起的第二班。从一年级开始到六年级，没有进步。现在回想起那时候的爸爸，心情一定很不好受，哪里有座父母地不想儿女成龙成凤？哪里有父母被老师说自己的儿女成绩差的时候会笑呢？但是我的爸爸就是那么的伟大，他就是会反过来安慰我们。他每天都必须一大早就爬起来准备我们五兄弟梳洗，早餐，校服和零用钱，然后就会把我们一个一个送去上课。以前家里的环境不是很好，每天爸爸得一早起床去用炭火来烧水给我们洗脸，因为他知道我们的小手不喜欢冷水。
大家可别以为我妈妈什么都没做，她可是一位颜良俗的的妻子和妈妈。我知道妈妈每次因为一早就要去上班所以才没有去领过成绩，反而她会用另一种方式去激励我们，说以后等我们成绩考好了就会去领。还记得小学的时候突然看见妈妈在下午休息的时间出现，带了饭让我和弟弟吃，我真的是特别地开心，真的很开心。
到了中学时期，因为小学的成绩差所以就得从预备班开始，那一年我考到了全班第一，是我一生人的第一次，爸爸妈妈当然是特别地开心，所以从那一年起，每次领成绩册的时候都会看见爸爸妈妈的影子在校园里出现。初中一开始，我就是在学校的第一班了，因为自己不争气，所以在班上成绩只是平平而已。妈妈最担心我们的学业，时常督促我们，以前会觉得很烦，但是现在回想其实他们是如何的用心良苦呀。
今天的思乡病让我想通了很多，已经想通了要以什么态度面对他们，必须以他们对我的心去孝顺他们俩，
出生于这个充满爱的家庭是我一生中最幸福不过的事了，爸，妈咪，大哥，二哥，三哥，弟弟，我爱你们。我要把我的一生奉献给你们，我有的一切，都会和你们分享。

爱满叶家
