On Saturday, just right a day after I arrived here at Indonesia. My family and I went to my granpa's house which is located in a super small city in Central Java. It's around 4 hours ride from where I live.

That day was kinda chilly |
Right after that we all went to a Chinese new year celebration at the temple, we went back afterwards and watched a movie called
in Time at home.
Amanda Seyfried is so gorgeous!! the movie itself is just ok. But I really love the idea of using time instead of money, so creative!
