some highlights of spore trip

Guys if u happen to read my post and was in spore, I'm so sorry if I didn't look for you :)

It was really hard to find the time, or I don't know how to contact you, or I'm not confident enough to meet up with you, yet :)

Spore was really joyful.

16 Oct 2009

Arrived in Spore!! yay!! took MRT with Ud to Bugis and then walk around to find our Ibis Hotel. It was crazy. We didn't know the exact place, yet, we just try to figure out the hotel by asking people here and there bringing the big luggage with us, hehe. It was big and orange bright. But the thing is Singapore people are mostly very helpful, so we found our hotel. it was nice, clean and very small, hehehhee. but still, it's very nice. ... Then, I joined my parents, sis, bro, niece, cousins and aunt in Ion Orchard. Then we head up to eat Bakuteh. In Balestiar Rd. we took MRT to Novena and walk so..... far.. *sigh* then took taxi back to my cousin's HDB. where my family (except me n my aunt) sleep at.

17 Oct 2009

Walk around in Bugis for awhile then continue the trip to Science Centre In Jurong East. Spend the noon there, then continue to Ikea. Always love Ikea. dunno why =) After ikea, back to Orchard and separate with my fam to meet up with Bertha. It was very brief meeting but very precious one. Really glad to found some friends who still stick up till now. after wandering around with no aim, just chit chatting and yak-king about almost anything, we finally settled back with my family in a cafe in front of Wisma drinking wine ;) *special thanks to Iley who treat us the wine*

Together with me were Bertha, Rudy, Iley, Ais who were asleep most of the time!! my cousin Daniel and his room mate, Verson.

at 00.00 which makes it the 18 Oct 2009 we decided to go home. Rudy called me to come over to his side. which I obediently followed.. and then got all the ice blocks inside of my shirt!!! hah! b'day tricks! shocked but actually very happy, hehehe. my aunt too, just threw the ice blocks to me. put it inside my shirts..my bra!! my undies..... oh my.... got my 2nd b'day present from bertha n rio (thanks guy) *the 1st one is from my aunt, a watch. then get back to my cousin's place. got another b'day surprise. a cake with the candles that they bought from Ikea... huhuhu so touched! then bday present from my sis n bro (camera..at last!! now I try to take more pics) then also bday card :D then also present from my cousins (apron and a PAN!! wowww, haha)

yap, only my hubbie haven't give me the present, hehehe. well, Singapore trip itself is actually a present from him. but, as a present of an object not, yet :p but after that he gave me, but later on, alrite :)

on the 18th, all my family returned to Indonesia (except my sis to US) so Rudy and I just wandering around from Vivo City to Orchard looking for the 'perfect' bday present =p but couldn't find the one, yet. But at least we had explored Orchard.

at night, Rudy and I go to Spice to eat a yummy, yummy prata =D verrryyyy nice! but here, I got some incident... when I rushed back to the bus stop to catch the last bus to clarke quey, I tripped and fell, huhuhuhuhuhu... YAP FELL DOWN REAL HARD! very, very paiseh >.<

and hurt like hell, too... my elbow and hands bleed. hiks hiks..... then I was like "OH MY!! I fell down on my bday??!!!" and ud replied "errr... no honey, dun worry its already 00.01" wakakakka. yup a minute past the last hour of my bday and I fell. great!

The journey continue to clarke quey. Daniel n verson joined us here. nothing much to do, cos we're there too late. so we just hang out and drank beer and home... time to meet my bed.

19 Oct 2009

hummm, all I can remember today is he bought me a present!! yay!! hihihii.

and it is a .... eng ing engg.... Tod's bag.. my gosh! hua. me loph it. not because its a branded bag. well, ok, I love Tod's style. casual, yet classy. just like me, wakakaka I wish! but owning a Tod's? nah.. never crossed my mind, yet. its kinda expensive. but then we found 1 we love. nice. and not that expensive. so there he goes, paying the bill, giving me the orange big paperbag!! whoa!! thank u sayang.. u spoiled me with all these, I can't wait for next year, hehe.

So we marched down Orchard with pride goes up to the maximal limit, wakakaka... took bus home (planning to go to sentosa) and got lost! in Little India!! *gubrak*

oh my God.... we're so lost. in a wrong place! with that big, screaming paperbag. 2nd embarrassment huhuhuhu =s

Luckily, we found the nearest MRT and zoom... off we go back to Bugis, change quickly, and zoom again to Sentosa.

over at Sentosa, we only played Luge, and watched Song Of the Sea. The laser and water fountain show. Entree to Sentosa is $3 with monorail. Luge is $11/pax. and Song Of the Sea is $10. well, Sentosa is also very much different from the way I remember it. they keep upgrading it. overall ok lah...

After sentosa, we still don't want to go back hotel, just yet. So we continued to City Hall. walk to find the Esplanade. I've been there during noon. it was beautiful. but then this time, it was night. with all the lights lit up. it was soooo beautiful. gorgeous. spectacular, okay, lebay=p. but really, it was very nice. took a long walk to the merlion. pose here and there, took picture. trying to get back home, but found a bus directly to balestiar street. hummm hummm... so BAKUTEHHH, we're coming again, hehehe. and then after bakuteh, we took direct bus which stop right in front of the hotel! yipi!

20 Oct 2009

So, after many days of exploring here and there, not much things we want to do today. Exploring Bugis Junction. lunch with Daniel and Verson. hunting for some souvenirs. walk here and there. but the excitement for today is I got to see some old friend. I meet up with Claudia and her very lovely son, Caden. It's been so long since I catch up with Claudia, and I never got the chance to meet Caden, he is so cute. and the I also got to meet with Yilun and his fiancee.

after catching up with old friends, Rudy and I just walked back home to the hotel. Yes, Walk! and I'm not even a bit tired walking with him. the power of love? =) and just 1 day before going back, then i realised that in Bugis, there is a new mall named .... errrr... duh! how could I forget?? my gosh...

21 Oct 2009

time to head back to Jakarta. It was a very pleasant and lovely trip. I couldn't ask for more. really enjoyed the holiday. Today, we just took MRT to Changi Airport. Explore Changi as there are so many things to enjoy at that SUPERB airport. You should try check out the Terminal 3...

Thank you God for giving us the chance to have this wonderful holiday. Thank you Ud for saving up and making this holiday possible. Thank you all for reading this post. hope u enjoy it..

note: by the way, i'm so sorry it took so long and no pictures, yet. :( got some problem with my lappie, hiks. but it will show up.

just a quick update

Guys, I know u guys wanna see the pic and details of the holiday (pd)

So do I. but, please be patient for a little more =D

So just a quick update from me in Jakarta. Supposed I should be back to Samarinda, today. but since the dentist confirmed that he could help me with the teeth and that took another 2 weeks time, no choice but to postpone my trip back... so guys, I'm actually super, duper worried with that braces =(

1. I'm so scared of the pain

2. it is so costly

3. I'm gonna look so weird!! huhuhu

4. haha... hummm a lil' shy with this... but uhmmm.... no more....u know... no more kissing deh, lol =p

that was the update for teeth and jaw. For Singapore.. wowww, we were having so much fun =)

really can't Thank God enough. we explore a lot of places, even the places that I barely go before (read: get lost hahahaha) Singapore is different now. and still keep upgrading its look continuously.ck ck ck

alrite... more pictures later alrite (in 2 weeks time, kekeke, when im going to use my own lappy)

Singapore, I am coming....

yipiii, going to spore, tomorrow...

I'm so excited about this trip. I grew up there, so I wanted to share my childhood memory with rudy =) and also this is our 1st overseas trip together. should be fun and exciting =)

wait for me, merlion :D

by the way, if u happen to read this and could suggest some cool place to go or to eat or just to hang around, please tell me so....thanks a lot. ><

update

hi guys...

just a little update. So, I've been to the orthopedist (gini bukan spellingnya ya??) well, after some explanations this and that, check that and this, answering to the questions given, putting his fingers around my teeth and 'obok2' the teeth, counting my teeth up and down, ask me to open up my mouth and close and bite and open and close and bite for I don't know how many times.... he shared his thought...

and I'm quite shocked and sad with the result. he said "it's too late" :'( hiks I'm too late for coming to him at this age and it's very hard for him to do something to my teeth. my jaw is affected because of my teeth... even if I should take mouth surgery, I should do it abroad, cause he's not too sure with the work done by local dentist (or whatever its called for someone who does mouth surgery) and when I asked abroad as in where, he told me "German" as simple as that... I was like "whoaaaa....??!!" *gulp* continued by hopeless expression, huhuhuhu, ini orang udah cara ngomongnya to the point, ngomong german juga kaya ngomong lo ke tetangga lo aja, bagus tuh dia... nyadar ga yah German itu jauh n so pasti biaya gede, hiks hiks hiks... untungnya he's very good in his job and knows what he is doing. another thing is that my case is actually one of the bad n difficult one... (well I know it's bad, that's why I check it, but I didn't expect it to be this bad...)

so for today, beside the shock therapy that he gave me, I am assigned to take a photo of my teeth throughly. the teeth, the jaws, x-ray, bla bla bla, not even so sure the procedures taken. I just know I have to go to this faraway place in Jkt, and give them the letter he wrote with the details and the man would know what he would be expected to do.... then in the evening, I've to be back at the orthopedist place.

sigh... still hope for the best....

nitez blogger.. sleep well...

#lesson learned : never underestimate your teeth condition. do check up and ask the condition.

another trip

I am going to Jakarta, tomorrow :) will be on my own. Rudy will only join me on the 15th. It'll be our first time being away from each other since our wedding day, deh...
going to the check up on my teeth. errr... maybe jaw. I find my jaw is not symmetrical anymore. it slant to the left. and its getting worse each year. of course rite now you won't find it very disturbing, but i'm afraid in years to come, especially when i'm old and weak (grandma) i'm gonna look so weirdly frightening =p

also, a dentist used to tell me to prctice chewing food with my left jaw, cos if I keep chewing from my right, he is afraid that it's going to slant even worse. but these days, it's really hard to chew from the left side :( really, really hard.. so I keep on chewing from the right.

well, so off I go to check.. I don't know what will happen with me.. maybe braces? but maybe also some surgury... ihhhh, tatuttt... well... I just hope, its going to be ok and symmetrical again, Amen.

after that, I'm goin to Singapore with Rudy!!! yay!! so, so excited :) our first trip abroad together :) we will spend 2 days with my parents, sis, bro and niece who are already there. then we will continue the holiday by ourselves. can't wait!

I'm gleaming now ;)

oh-not-always-so-sweet

humm, humm.. I'm going to compliment other bloggers. guess who?? yes, it's you Arman and Jo.
why? Because of your honesty in telling the oh-not-always-so-sweet stories version of marriage.

honestly, I've been thinking of writing my own oh-not-always-so-sweet stories version of marriage. :) my quarrels, my fights with Rudy. but, still thinking on the topic. and these 2 people are way faster than me, haha.

well, who have the 'perfect' marriage anyway?? of course people will have their fights. but not everyone would be willing to share it to the world what they fight about...

I always wanted my blog to be honest. with my ups and downs. with my likes and dislikes. and sometime, being truthful is quite a challenge for me. for I'm afraid that person I'm talking about might read my blog...I don't want to have enemy, also, I'm afraid some people who read the blog will catch it differently. sometimes, it also take many efforst to be willing for letting people to think they have better life than mine ;p well... not people actually.. but just some people that i dislike and afraid that they read my blog, hahaha. for time being, those people that i dun really like don't read my blog. but who knows someday they will? or they are reading but I don't know?? hehe. (so if you know, I know you're reading my blog, u r okay. u r safe. I like you ;) )

well, ayway... I will post that oh-not-always-so-sweet stories version of marriage. my own marriage. but not now. let me - again think, what n how to write it :)

what's happening?

something weird happen to me. I think it's very weird. and please someone help me, tell me what syndrome is this??

So, okay.. you guys know rite, that I'm not an animal lover?? no whatsoever feeling towards any animals? I hate cats (again, I'm sorry ber :p) if my sis n her girl think doggie is cute, I don't know what's so cute about them? my sis bought a yorkie and named him Boba. my mom hates it so much, haha. me? I don't hate Boba. nor that I love him, hahaha. just plain.

and yes... I kinda...errr... interested in dogs lately??? huaaaa.... it's so weird!!! *gengsi ngakunya*
I really don't know when it start or how it start... maybe because I watched dog movie lately?? but I've watched lotsa dog movie (marley & me, hotel for dogs, cats & dogs, etc) and nothing moved me, so??? or maybe because I'm alone at home, maybe it's cute to own a dog to play with? but all this while, even before I'm married, I always enjoy my being alone?? so what is this? why?? urgh..

I always enjoy my not-animal-lover being. so, now that i'm interested in dog is very new n weird to me. you know, when I went to book store, I even took a time reading a book of different breed of dog...-.- then ask myself, what the hell am I doing? but yes, they are soooo cute, hahaha. I even considered to pet a dog, play with him, brush him, touch its face and make faces to him =p I imagined him running along with me everywhere I go. I have someone to talk to already if I'm alone at home. when Rudy and I go out, we bring him in our car, hahahaha. and I already know what breed I want to pet. its a pug :D but, after some serious thinking.. well, let that just be a dream =p of mine. because.... *hey, dun judge me,yet* well, I don't know how commited I am. then also, I still like to travel a lot. and if I travel, I don't know who can take care of the little pugsie, cieeeee, skg dah pake nama pugsie, wakakakaka.... yap. this is how bad I fall in love with this creature. look at him... isn't he such an adorable little cutie?? with that round eye and that expression!! gila, expressionnya buanyol banget. oh and 1 more thing... no matter how bad i like this pugsie lately, but I still love my furniture more. I'm not willing to let this little pug to destroy my furniture ;p


but anyway, I'm sure the one who will laugh the loudest at my 'turnover' will be bertha n my dearest sister...urggghhh... swt....

lazy bumz

kemaren ini liburan lagi yah seminggu?? libur lebaran tepatnya. kali ni yeyent n uud ga brangkat kemana mana lagi, soalnya ticket mahal. dah gitu kita juga ada rencana mau berangkat bulan October. jadi masa skg berangkat, nti oct' berangkat lagi... boros. selain itu juga, papi mami kan lagi pada di jakarta. rumah mereka kosong. jadi bantu2 ngawasin'lah dari sini.

walhasil, kita (ruyent) malas2an mulu dirumah, hehe. seneng juga si, kalau biasa bangun pagi, muled2, si uud dah siap2 buat berangkat ngantor meninggalkanku malas2an sendiri dirumah, kali ini dia ikut2an malas2an, hehehe. jadilah kita 'lazing day 1', 'lazing day2', dst, dst... =) after few days, lelah juga malas2an mulu. akhirnyalah kita pack up n jalan2 lagi ke balikpapan and nginep lagi di sagita. tapi kali ini sagita'nya ga seenak trip pertama :( kita dapat kamar tepat di sebelah toa'nya mesjid kali ya? jadi pas subuh gitu kebangun... dah gitu pagi2nya ada anak2 dari kamar2 sebelah rame bgt.. tereak2 di alley, kertas 'do not disturb' kita dimain2in... omg, berisik bener. bete deh gue. minta pindah kamar sama receptionist. mba'nya bukannya ramah n helpful malah ignorant sekali. ughhhh, akhirnya semped gue sarkas'in juga tuh mba, moahahaha *ketawa puas* iya. gue emang kejam kl membete =p padahal biasa, gw ini ramah bener loh sama mba2. beneran. cuman kl gw dah bete, trus dia'nya belagu, kadang kl gw kumad suka gw rese'in.
but after pindah kamar udah much better lah. so ok.

liburan kali ini juga ada aunty gue yg biasa di sby pulang kampung bawa 2 anak kembarnya. anak kembarnya itu cowo n cewe loh. jadi enak dia, sekali melahirkan udah stop. =D jadi yah keluarga2 yg lain pada sibuk traktir makan kesini, kesitu..wahhhh menggemuklah lagi saia. perasaan ini leher udah double chin super tebel deh =( hiks hiks

oh ya, tadinya liburan kemaren ini ada niat mau ke banjar. visit uud's brothers gitu. kan lagian aku lom pernah main ke banjar... tapi akhirnya ga jadi, kalau jadi maybe nti december aja deh sblon pulang ke Malang... well after all, liburannya menyenangkan juga. bisa lazing around. tapi setelah kupikir2, lain kali kl liburan slalu coba buat berangkat deh. sayang juga 1 minggu yg diisi malas2an mulu. bagusan kl kita explore something kali ya?? =D

biggest indoor theme park in the world!

Gile ya Trans TV ini. umur bole muda, tapi prestasinya ga bisa dipandang sebelah mata nih. Umur Trans TV emang blom seberapa kl dibandingin ama RCTI atau SCTV, tapi banyak program2nya yg jadi hits. Kaya misalnya extravaganza, juga empat matanya si Tukul, komplt sama "kembali ke laptop'nya, wih dulu kan hits bgt ye? Trus blom lagi infotainmentnya si Insert! yg yahud!! wah dari dulu saia penggemarnya insert! hehe. apalagi kl yg bawa acara Cut Tary & Indra Herlambang :) Banyak progamnya yg bagus2 deh.

Skg dia bikin Trans Studio di Makassar. yang katanya the biggest indoor theme park in the world!hebat ya? kayanya sih dia mau bikin kaya Universal Studionya US deh. Kalau liat promosinya di tv, wihhh bagus loh tempatnya. wahana2nya menarik bgt n ada banyak pula! Huhuhuhu, saia jadi pingin kesana! saia kan suka bgt ama theme park :p

Ngomong2 ttg theme park, iya ogud emang suka ama theme park. wahana2nya kudu dicobain satu2. Yg biasa gw ga suka n jarang mau mainin cuman yg diputer2, diputer2, diputer2 naik turun gitu mulu sampe gw peyang n maw muntah. Contohnya kalau di Dufan itu yg 'burung elang' tuh.Dulu cuman naik sekali dah' kapok. Nah, dari kecil kalau main di theme park selalu ada partner in crimenya. cici gw, d gw, spupu2 gw mostly juga suka main di theme park. Jadi kan seru tuh. Kalau misal main roller coaster duduk ber2, tereak2 kan asik tuh. Soalnya yg fun kan emang tereak2nya, hehe. Serius loh, kadang kita kalau main biar ga serem juga tetep aja tereak2 kaya orang goblog, kekekeke. Nah kalau sendirian tuh kan ga enak bgt! Ga ada temen jejeritan... ga ada temen ketawa ketiwi, ga ada temen yg sama2 heboh cerita how fun that was... kalau kita tereak2 sendiri walau ga serem, yah..... kaya orang goblog... (Loh? ada temen tereak2 kaya org goblog? ga ada temen juga kaya orang goblog?? piye to? Nasibbb, nasib jadi orang goblog, hihihihi)

And yg ga asiknya nih!! ternyata saudara2, para pembaca blog yg budiman (halah!) si dodol suami saia itu ga suka main theme park, huhuhuhuhu :'( atau lebih tepatnya dia takut! hahaha. Alasannya ga tau aman apa ngga lah! Takut lah! sigh... And I thought he should be my lifetime partner in crime?? gimana nih?? kalau sampai ke theme park kudu cari partner lagi? haiyahhh, kan repod yah?? dasar dudud koq....

balik lagi ke theme park... jadi gw masi niat nih main di Trans studio... kaya kata dodol ke zenia di facebook, kali aja bisa ketemu Cut Tary?? atau nti gw ditawarin jadi pragawati top?? hehehe...
hayukkk... sapa mau ke Makassar?? main theme park??? become my partner in crime??? kabari saiaaaaaa..... :)

Oh mama, oh papa

Trima kasih Tuhan,
Engkau udah melancarkan operasi katarak dan juga laser mata mami... Kalau semua bisa berjalan dengan baik, itu pasti karna campur tanganMu. Amin

*** si mami kemaren ini emng operasi katarak di Jkt. Kalau ga salah, si mami pake Dr. Oen. Nah, di Jkt ini, si mami cuman ditemenin spupu2ku yg masi smp. Jadilah si papi ini maju mundur. Mau berangkat nemenin apa ngga ya? Pertama si papi udah maw berangkat, mami blg ga usah aja, toh cmn operasi kecil. Ya udah. Malamnya si papi pergi ke 'ama' (his mom) si Ama suruh papi berangkat aja nemenin mami, kasian... Jadilah papi mau berangkat lagi, tapi lagi2 ditolak mami. 'Ga usah, ga usah, bener deh!'. Ya udah. Papi ga jadi lagi. Pagi2nya si Ama nelpon papi lagi, keukeh suruh berangkat, papi mulai pusing, haha. Telp aku. Yah aku pertamanya bilang si, ya udahlah, kl mami blg ga usah, ya udah ga usah, kasian ntar nicole ga ada yg temenin. Tapi pas siang, si rudy dodol suruh aku yg brangkat temenin mami, hehe hadohhhh, ini ya apa toh?? Mbuleddd ae! Akhirnya cek2 tiket. Kl brangkat malam itu juga, naik garuda, bisa dapat lmayan nih... Rp. 460.000. Garuda loh, lmyan... Tapi sapa yg brangkat?? Aku atau papi?? Harus make a quick decision nih! Waktunya mepet..
Papi telp si mami, mau aku atau si papi yg brangkat, ehhhh ditolak lagi ama si mami, hahaha. Bener2 bingung si papi, kecepit sana sini.

Akhirnya aku, aunty2ku sepakat suruh papi pergi aja! Nti Nicole biar kita yg jagain. Kl si mami ngomel, kita suruh papi bilang 'kl ga brangkat ada 4 cewe yg ngomel di smd!' Kekeke.

Akhirnya dengan tergesa2 (mana kita kan lg dikolam renang nemenin anak2 berenang) si papi pulang ke rumah, mandi and packing, aku ke atm urus pembayaran tiket, and langsung abis gitu papi berangkat. Phewww.... Hehehehe. Ribed!

Skg si mami matanya udah baik. Katanya udah terang. Baguslah... Jadi dia bisa melihat n makin sadar how beautiful this life is and how beautiful her 2nd daughter is, hahahah *kaburrrr......*

Burung mungil..

Alkisah suatu siang di TK Kristen Sunodia...

Miss Octa (gue) sedang mematut2 pantulan dirinya didepan kaca kamar mandi sblum masuk wc buat pipis... Tiba2 datanglah si Ruben, seorang murid TK A. Perbincangan pun terjadi diantara mereka.
R: Ruben mau pipis!
M: oh iya... (Dgn nada sok kalem ala guru)
R: (udh mau masuk wc, balikin badan) Mba mau apa??

!!!???!!!! MBA???, Mba!! Ga salah tuh???

M: (masih dgn nada kalem pdhl gondok, smbl tetap tersenyum) mba, ibu atau miss??
R: (kasih tatapan kosong......)
**********

Ya sudahlah, sabar n pipis aja deh gue. Si Ruben jg pipis di wc sebelah. Sudahannya, gue mau cabut nih, si Ruben panggil lagi...
R: Miss Octa (udh bener dia kali ini, hahaha.)
Miss octa dgn muka penuh kemenangan : ya Ruben??
R: ruben ga bisa buka clana'nya nih....
What??? Huuuuuu, ini anak...ya udah deh, dengan seletingnya yang udah kebuka, aku bantuin dia aja buat pipis. Sudah pegangin burungnya tuh!! Arahain kesini, eh kesana, eh jangan gerak2 donk! Ga taunya....
R: ruben udah pipis koq miss... Ruben skg hebat, bisa pipis sendiri!

Dan begitulah si Miss octa jadi bengong dan Ruben berlari2 kecil kembali kekelasnya sambil teriak2 'HORE, horeee' ......

Swt....
***********

Notes: walau udah merid, aku masi tetep dipanggil miss loh ama anak2, hehe. Ga mau rugi, maunya muda terus :p lagian ini anak2 udah hapalnya Miss Octa, jadi ga mau ubah panggilan. Kalau gue sih, seneng2 aja :p

berhubung Samarinda ini cukup membosankan n kurang banyak hiburan, kita jalan2 ke Balikpapan lagi ;p Ga bosen yent, balikpapan mulu?? ya ngga juga. secara di Bpn ada XXI whereas di samarinda cuman 21. trus di Bpn ada hypermart, banyak hotel2 mayan bagus apalagi kl dicompare ke smd, ada Ace hardware, ada Index, n masi banyak lg yg bisa diliat2. heran yah... koq ibukotanya Kaltim ini Samarinda, tapi apa2 semua di Bpn?? even airport aja di Bpn... sigh...

so back to the topic, jadilah kita ke Bpn. but this time kaga nginep di Novotel lagi. mahal soalnya, huhuhu. tadinya ke Aston yg baru soft launching, bagus deh Aston di Bpn ini. viewnya bagus. dia condotel gitu. tapi ratenya booo.... masi harga promo aja udah 600an. hummm, tak jadi deh disini :p oh ya, kita juga datengin citraland punya town house, mahal juga. jadi ga mau, haha. kali ini pegi Bpn'nya hitung2an bgt deh pokoknya....

akhirnya kita memutuskan u/ nginep di hotel Sagita. harga sip, kamar sip, kebersihan sip. yg kurang si receptionist tadi rada kurang ramah... heran deh, receptionist gitu kan mustnya yg manis, senyum, ramah, helpful.... ini mukanya datar without senyuman gitu =| trus udah gitu welcome drinknya ga ditawarin. aku pede aja nanya "mba, dapat welcome drink ga nih?"
si receptionistnya jawab "oh, ibu mau welcome drink?" lahhhh.... kek apa siy??? idihhh gemes deh! trus masuk kamar mandinya punya waste basket bikin cengok. lah, ini koq plastik2 biasa gitu waste basketnya?? kaya merk maspion getu?? hahaha, aneh juga... and handuknya kurang nyaman. kurang nyerep, agak tipis n ga wangi gitu. *hihihi, bawel yah? tapi gue emang seneng handuk yg wangi softener getu :)* but other than that, ok bgt koq ini hotel. kamar deluxenya dapet Rp. 469.000 and kamarnya tipe minimalis modern.

trus kita nonton bioskop nih di XXI. nonton MERANTAU. bagus loh filmnya :) yahhh, walau masi ada keganjelan disini situ, but buat film laga, ok nih. berantem2nya pun very natural. trus aktornya ganteng, hihihi. boleh ditonton. bioskopnya di Bpn ini bagus loh *udik* kaya di Jkt gitu. dah gedeee, bersih. kursinya masi empuk, ga kaya kursi 21 di Smd yg udah bolong2, kadang bau tengik, tekel lantainya aja ada yg bocel2, sigh....

sayangnya ada ibu2 jilbaban yg duduk depan kita rada norak =( *sorrie ya kl ada baca yg juga jilbab'an :p gue bukannya ngomongin agama disini* nah si ibu ini perginya rame2 ama temen2nya yg juga jilbaban n ada anak2 kecilnya juga. trus si ibu jilbaban ini yg abis gini gue singkat jadi IJ berisik bgt. sepanjang film, adaaaaa aja komentarnya. super bawel + very norak bgt deh. pertama2 cuek aja. lama2 ganggu juga nih ibu, ugh. jujur yah, gue sampe udah ngudak2 ini isi tas loh, nyari2 ada apa ga yg bisa dipake buat nimpuk si IJ ini, hahahaha, jahat yah??? =p sayangnya ga ada apa2, saudara2 =\
nah hebatnya lagiiii, si IJ ini rupanya makin gemes kali yah ama filmnya, meresapi bgt kali. pas ada musuhnya gitu, dia bisa ngomong kenceng bgt loh. ngomong apaan?? ngomong "FUCK YOU!" wiiiiiii, gue mpe kaget n mau ngakak dengernya... aduh ibuuuuu, begimana siy??? haiyah! pake jilbab n di depan anak2 gitu koq malah maki2??

well, skg ogut mau bobo dulu, menikmati ranjangnya hotel sagita =) oh and btw, post kali ini bukannya mau mempromosikan Bpn... Smd juga banyak attractionsnya koq, haha. beneran, gue ga niat jadi duta pariwisata gitu...blom daftar buat miss miss'an gitu koq (GR, haha)

buat yg lagi liburan panjang, have fun.
buat yg lagi liburan ke luar kota, have fun, take care, jgn lupa oleh2 ;p

Written By Regina Brett, 90 years old, of The Plain Dealer, Cleveland, Ohio :"To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most-requested column I've ever written. My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more:"
1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.
8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.
10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.
12. It's OK to let your children see you cry.
13. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.
15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never blinks.
16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
17. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
18. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.
19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.
20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.
21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.
22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.
23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.
24. The most important sex organ is the brain.
25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words ''In five years, will this matter?".
27. Always choose life.
28. Forgive everyone everything.
29. What other people think of you is none of your business.
30. Time heals almost everything. Give time, time.
31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
32. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
33. Believe in miracles.
34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.
35. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
36. Growing old beats the alternative -- dying young.
37. Your children get only one childhood.
38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.
41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
42. The best is yet to come.
43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
44. Yield.
45. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift

simple tips

I want to share some little tips. I hope they will be useful :D

1. There used to be a cat who really liked to laze around at my front door, on my door mat. yes kitty, I understand that my house is very homy, but I don't like you on my mat, so please go away.. (sorry for cat lover, such as bertha :p but as u guys know, I'm not an animal lover) So, yes, that cat irritates me. but never mind, I know a way to 'shoo' a cat away. I put on a 'kapur barus' ~I dunno what is kapur barus in english, but I check on a translater it said 'camphoric'~ on my mat. and yes!! the cat never ever return to laze on my mat, haha >.<

2. this one should be quite popular method la, but still post up here, just in case you dunno :p
well, my house has a lot of glasses and mirrors (not glasses for drinking purpose). and cleaning up glasses can be quite tiring. so, use vinegar! langsung kinclong

3. also, you can use tooth paste to clean almost everything. from your teeth, glass, shower handle up to bathroom tiles!! seriously!

4. my sink smells really, really bad! sometime, the odour so strong that I feel my whole house stink. eewwww... I tried this and that but failed. but since I put coffee powder on a bowl and left it in the drawer under the sink, the odour slowly but sure dissapear. =)

So, these are something from me, hopefully useful n informative =p
makin 'enci enci' dah gue, hueee ='( ga mauuu

pasangan lelet

akhirnyaaaa KK'ku jadi juga, hihi. udah 2 minggu yg lalu si, cuman lom sempat nge'post' aja.

so, kemaren ini udah married, ktp mati, kartu keluarga lom' ada, pas awal2 si catatan sipil pun lom dibuat, haha. payah koq emang. si rudy juga tuh, kemaren ktp samarindanya juga ilang. jadilah kita ber2 ini 'penduduk gelap' kekeke.

-catatan sipil dibuat almost a month after the wedding...

-ktp mati dari oktober bulan lalu... sampe july kemaren baru ada yg baru :p (yg btw, ga asik bgt nih ktp baru. dari fotonya yg kecil abis kaya ga keliatan apa2 sampe ke 'plastik' laminating yg tipis)

-begitu pula sama rudy yg keilangan ktp'nya since.... hummm liburan yg di jkt kapan ari itu. perasaan dah lama bgt ya?? rambutku aja masi panjang gitu.

- selama merid ini ga ada KK, baru jadi juga July lalu. yang akhirnya meng'sah'kan kedudukan dan kewarga nergaraan kita ber2, hehe. and dodolnya lagiiii, ini kaka infonya rada2 ngaco gitu. kacauuu, kacau. haiyoh, tapi ya udah deh biarin aja. ga bermasalah ini kan?? info nama ortu, kerjaan and pendidikan si?? bermasalah ga si? kl ada yg tau kasitau ya....

yah begitulah... akhirnya saya dan rudy pasangan suami istri yang SAH, hahaha

yes, I'm surprised, too

Friends always find it hard to believe that I clean up my house by myself. well, I take that as a compliment :) I know I used to be "princessy" kind of girl. also, this is Indonesia... most people will afford at least one servant. then why don't I use one?? why do I bother to do house chores like I'm such a hardworking housewife ~ when actually not really??

someone made a remark "why no servant? servant is cheap nowadays" haha. 1st of all, servant is no longer cheap nowadays darlink. but it's not so much about cheap or not. I have my reasons

1. I choose to do it. even before we get married. that's why we get a small house for the 2 of us.
2. then of course, yes, the house is not big. So I am still able to do it. stick to my words ;)
   
3. I love my house so much. I have this syndrome of not trusting the other can do it better than me, haha.
4. I also think, if one day I would have a servant, I should know which area would be hard to clean, would be the soft spot, etc... haha yes, I'm kinda freak here :p
5. I love my hubby. this is one of the ways I express my feeling towards him. weird huh?? kekeke.
   
6. we don't really like the idea 'there is a stranger in our house'
7. I feel very matured doing it :p
8. everytime, I finish doing it, I would really feel that satisfication with myself
9. I dun exercise much, this is one way of exercising
   

but of course there are also some stuffs that dread me

1. I hate it when my hands are dry and dusty. this is always a problem esp. after mopping =(
2. I hate it when it comes to clean those disgusting, geeky, smelly part
3. cleaning toilet bowl can be such a pain in the ass!!
4. sometime I wish I can do housechores and still look as hot as Julia Perez (Indonesian, very sexy artist, haha)

dun get me wrong. I'm not using servant as for NOW. But~of course I have a but, I will use one if I can't handle it anymore. If I'm pregnant. If I have a baby. then I'll reconsider it ;)

So guys, if u have a servant, be grateful for it ^^
