Not long after the robbery incident in our house that I have told you about earlier, we decided to move to a new house, which is also located in the Pasar Minggu area. In this new house, there are many beautiful memories as well as unforgettable tests.
Getting good neighbors
Unlike aunt number 2's house and the old house we used to live in, this new house is located quite close to other neighbors. Every time we go in and out of the house, we always greet our neighbors and talk to them. Sometimes we also share food. But they didn't know I was a foreigner because I was quite fluent in Indonesian at that time.
Near our house, there is also a house that is a dormitory for lecturers of a university in the Pasar Minggu area.

Often stop by the ornamental fish market near the new house
Near the new house, there is an ornamental fish market; since then I have started to like raising various types of ornamental fish. Every week I stop by the fish market 1 or 2 times before returning home, and almost all the ornamental fish sellers there know me. Until I returned to Hong Kong, I also still kept ornamental fish, but often because of busyness, the fish were often unkempt and died; in the end I no longer kept ornamental fish.
Our dog was poisoned in a new house
We had a dog at that time that was given by a friend shortly after this dog was born. When we were still in our old house and did not know our friends at the place of worship, we as a family were quite frustrated with our situation that I have described in previous articles. Sometimes, if our dog is naughty and disobedient, then my father will hit him with a newspaper, like educating a naughty child.
Once we started worshiping and getting to know many friends there, we were able to be free from negative thoughts, and from then on we started to love our dog and want him to be happy during his lifetime with us. Every time I came home from school, this dog would run around and ask me to play with him.
The new house is very close to a public road that many people go on and our dog sometimes likes to bark at people who pass by the road. This causes some people to hate our dog.
One morning we woke up and heard our dog screaming in pain from eating poisonous food. When we went down to the park and saw that part of his body color had turned blue, and soon he was no longer reacting and dying.
From then until now, we don't want to have a pet dog anymore for fear of being reminded of this sad story.

Experienced some mystical events in a new house
In this new house, I have experienced some mystical events, and to this day I still remember them.
The new house has 2 floors. One afternoon, as I sat at the dining table near the stairs to the 2nd floor and talked to my grandmother, who liked to sit on the stairs, I saw a dark brown soul suddenly appear on the stairs and disappear after a few seconds.
On the 2nd floor, there was my room, uncle number 7, and the room of a housekeeper. One afternoon, as I sat leisurely at the door of my room, I suddenly saw two men's heads, one rather large and one rather small, with a not-so-obvious shape hovering. Not long after, the two heads disappeared on their own.
What I remember most clearly is one night when I was lying in my room and getting ready to go to sleep; at that time I had not turned off the room light. Suddenly, on the wall near the door of the room appeared a man in a white robe with gray wings and seemed ready to run towards me. After starting to approach me then suddenly disappeared.
After praying together with our worship friends who came to our house, there were no more mystical events in the house.

Becoming a gathering place for friends of one worship
Some of my parents' good friends at the place of worship also lived in the area near the Sunday market; they often came to our house and talked. They provided strength for those of us who are going through various problems. When we experienced various problems and difficulties in Indonesia and had to return to Hong Kong, they always helped and accompanied us to deal with them.

Kidnapped in front of the house
I was kidnapped while I was in front of the house after returning home from school, and this caused me to have to return to Hong Kong. I will tell you about this in the next article.
