Going back home to Indonesia doesn't mean the bonding between my Taiwanese relatives and me gets weaker. No, it even gets stronger. Thanks to social media and technology. Nearly everyday since March 30th (the day I went home), I always have a chat with Sophia, Uncle, Eva, Aunty, or even Tony David Alvin. We can communicate through Facebook, WeChat, LINE (but now I'm no longer able to use LINE due to the stupidity of Blackberry), and WhatsApp (most of the time).
We talk about anything. I ask about the latest news about fish farm members and Lin family. They ask what I'm doing and whether I miss them or not. They say they miss me a lot, too :D
So here are some pictures they sent me lately through WhatsApp :
Cho Tang, the most beautiful cat I've ever seen. The Lin family's only daughter :D.

Da Xiong, my favorite dog in fish farm. I used to feed him with chicken bone. His name means Big Bear, because there's a mark in his stomach that make him looks like Taiwanese mountain bear. Captured by Sophia.
Kembang Tahu, I don't know what's the name in English. But in Chinese I think they call it Tofu. Sweet tofu, maybe? Sophia ever treated me this cold and sweet tofu in Sanxia Night Market during Chinese New Year period.

Sweet Mango, I like this very much. It's called Suaya there. In Saturday or Sunday, when we are very busy because many customers, we usually serve Suaya for the big tables. I was in charge of preparing this Suaya (and pick and eat a little :p)
