Introducing the almost 10th mont old 'newborn' baby :p

2011-09-21T10:01:00.000+08:00

Ah yes, I forget to introduce my baby girl...Sarah Emma Setiawan. Born 25th November 2010. 3.3kg and 50cm. Round and cute like a cabbage baby ;)And now, she is almost 10 month old :D sha can crawl very fast, standing while holding on something, says papa& mama & cie cie. She loves to play a lot. She is active. She babbles. She loves watching little children playing, she also loves watching people singing and dancing. She HATES headbands -__-! as in really hates it. She would just grab it and throw it away. And if you insist on putting it on her head, then she would start to scream and cry, hehehe. I love to dress her in simple jumper and she gets used to it, so if i dress her in a dress or frilly, frilly clothes, she would look at it uncomfortably, tried to take it off and kepp pulling her dress, hihi.Of course by now baby blue is long gone :) by now I just can't thanks Him enough for trusting me with this little, sweet angel.

:D

2011-09-16T11:20:00.001+08:00

Ehem... Blog has a new face? Wow! That makes me have to 'learn' blogging again. That shows how long i haven't been blogging, I guess. Well to be honest, i even forget my own username & password!! *big guilty grin*So... To start where i stopped is like impossible :p and now I'm confused what to share,where to start :(Ok, about pregnancy... Well, I still dislike 'pregnancy'. The feeling of huge, bloated, sentimental, and the attention from all the people. Not to mention those caressing ur stomach, haha. On top of that, I was ugly with those pimples all over my face :( so, yeah.. Let's skip this part.Baby blues... Yeah I'm in! I tought all babies are angelic? Having a baby is the best feeling in the world? Your husband would look at you so tenderly, so lovingly and shower you with presents and love?? I tought it ws heaven???But how come what I'm feeling is far from 'the best feeling in the world?' I had such a bad flu that I can't even hold my baby as long as I like?!!That caesar, I can hardly move! My breastmilk is not produced, yet! I insisted not to give Sarah anything but breastmilk. People kept questioning me, can breastfeed already? Has it comes out?? Don't use breastpump, use breastpump, use hand pump, use formula, bla bla bla and I'm stressed out. Baby is crying, she is hungry, I can't hold her. I forced myelf to move that it hurts. Now baby is screaming!! What to do?? She won't stop crying? I'm tired, i want to sleep!!! Rudy was busy! Can't really be with us 24/7. Reality bites....And when I'm just starting to enjoy having that cute little pie, she was taken away again from me (a bit sentimantal) she got jaundice. The bilirubin was very high. It was 26. From a fair skinned baby, she turned so dark :'( I hated the hospital doctors that failed to notice sooner. I hated all of them to inject such a frail little baby's hand with needle. I hate the fact that she had to be away from us for more than a week. That week without Sarah, I cried so hard and so much. BUT, that moment also made me learn more about breastfeeding and made up my mind to start breastfeeding exclusively. All I do then was pump. And pump. And pump. I don't care I get a little, I pump. I was so determined. I felt like a cow, yes! But I couldn't care anymore. We kept sending the breastmilk to Sarah. I tought mine is not so bad. Quite ok. But when I saw another mommy send her breastmilk to the hospital for her jaundice baby, I felt heartbroken again. Mine is nothing compared to her.... Omg! When Sarah returned from the hospital, she got nipple confused. She doesn't want to breastfeed to me. She wanted bottle feeding. I kept trying to breastfeed her, but she would scream and cry. I felt so rejected. I was so frustated. So the battle with breastpumps and bottles kept going. If you ask me whether is tiring or not to keep pumping, i would answer VERY! I almost give up during the 4th month. Lucky for me, I had such a patient husband. He kept motivating me n help me in however he can.Yes. Having a baby is not 'that' fun. Along with the fun, comes big responsibilty. Ego n me time no longer come first. But YES! Having a baby is beautiful. The best feeling in the world. Cos' whenever you are down andtired, by looking at her smile, angelic face when she's asleep, touching that little fingers of hers and the feeling of loved by such an innocent being felt in heaven :)

what the...

I just shared this and that, but how come only the title shown?? where's the story?? aerghhh

Oh and by the way, I missed the details of my uud's bday and our own 2nd anniversary :p

Well, for Ud's bday.. I bought him a navigator which can't be use in Samarinda. smart! _ _" It can only be use in JAVA, Bali and Sumatra if I'm not mistaken. well never mind. and we didn't have much celebration, as we just get back from Jakarta. So, I just booked a room in Aston, Balikpapan. enjoyed our rest. the big boy turned 30. I wrote him a little love notes for him to read every single day. So, he got his note in Samarinda, Bali and jakarta :) quite an effort. and he got a bday card. a present. and dinner. that's about it, hehehe.

and the anniversary...well the night before, I was down because I thought he didn't plan or have anything for us. I got him a little cake by midnight. :(
and on the day itself, I spend most of the days in my mom's house.
So, he just fetched me to have a dinner. and we headed back home. but guess what?
He decorated the home! WOW!!
It turn out that the whole afternoon, he didn't go to the office but to buy this and that (candles n stuff). then he put lots and lots of candles and candles in a small glass all around our living room. he bought a bigger cake, haha. he put romantic music on. WOW!!!
thank u, darling :D super duper touched.

You are always the sweetest. I know there will be times when maybe we're out of idea of how to be romantic. or maybe we pass that stage. I don't know. But, I'm enjoying this very much now.
Love u, Ud.

boy or girl?

2010-08-06T10:02:00.002+08:00

So, the baby is secretive! and up to today, I still don't know its gender, yet. At first, I was so sure that it's a boy. but now I'm beginning to wonder.

And the silliest part is that... I miscalculated my month. I guess 'a dodol' will always be a dodol. I know my weeks! but wrong months, I thought I'm in my 6th month by now, but I'm only in my 5th. sigh!! That means I'm even more overweight than I already am :( hiks.

I didn't pig out. but why so much weight gained?? and I realized, during the first trisemester when I was still throwing up so much, I drank plenty of those 'sweet-drinks' remember when I said I had to have juices in my refrigerator? I drank buavita, pulpy orange, love juice, you name it. _ _"
right from the moment I realized that, I quit drinking those sweet drinks and my weight become more controllable. thanks God. (but still overweight)

yes, I'm huge. Yes, its getting more and more heavy each day. but I'm still thanking God :)

5 Months Preggo ups I mean 4 months!

2010-07-08T10:40:00.003+08:00

18 weeks...

I already put on weight around 6-7 kg. :(
I feel so bloated
I can't help my tummy to stay slim. it just keeps on bulging
I still don't like the taste of rice. except for sushi
I still don't like the taste and smell of soto. Even thinking about soto upset me
I also don't like meatball. but I still can eat it.
during the first trisemester up to my 4 months pregnancy, I had no trouble with food at all. I can eat almost anything, its just I still throw up a lot.
But around end of 4 months till now, I become picky on food.
I like to eat es serut. like ice kachang or melon sago type. but I particularly want the ice to still looks like mountain, you cant just 'obok2' the ice. Rudy did that twice! and I felt so sad.. lol... so weird.
I have to stock juices or any sweet drinks in my refrigerator.
I get tired so very easily
The Imsonia start! and I hate it
the uncomfiness of the big tummy also affect my sleeping pose already.

lots and lots of women out there enjoy being pregnant. love being pregnant. they said, they are pampered. they can eat 'guiltyless'. they feel very womanly.matured. love the changing of their body shape. and so on and so on.
NOT ME! I want this phrase to pass quickly. Around 4 more months to go and I can't wait!
yes, I'm terrible. I really don't like the pregnancy stage :p
Thankfully there is Jo around. who felt the same way like I do. make me feel less guilty and something like 'hey, I know someone who feels this way too! I'm not an alien after all' hahaha

the lost

2010-07-08T10:31:00.002+08:00

After the Bali trip, actually both Rudy and I lost our close relative.
I lost an aunt.. she fight cancer
He lost his uncle (aunt's husband) he passed away too fast :( after fighting tetanus.

So, after the wonderful trip, there goes the bad news. And we had to help to do this and that, lost our beauty sleep, cried, and forget all about updating the blog.

Its been a month. I can't even start to write what I felt.. what i faced.. so just leave it be.

Bye Ku Ing. Bye Om Siong. You will greatly be missed.
(6/7/2010 & 8/7/2010)

SilQ Priavate Residence

2010-06-04T12:41:00.004+08:00

here I am, enjoying our private villa to the very bits...

I ensure you, this villa is so highly recommended. we LOVE it here.

Its spacious. Its clean. Its modern. Its well equipped. The hospitality is warm.
I get up early this morning and enjoy swimming in the private pool. We can also enjoy the jacuzzi. My, my, my....

there will be a second time we spend it here. worth every penny spend :)

Btw, Last night, we enjoyed Indian exotic cuisine in Seminyak area, called Queen Tandoor. Its yummy. but quite pricey, but then again, whats not pricey in Bali?? :p I love the rogan josh and of course the tasty Tomato soup :) :)

Oh and yesterday I also spent time at the Rock Bar, Ayana. a bit far, but a lovely place. Its at a cliff and u can see the indian ocean from the bar. unfortunetely we can't see sunset yesterday, but still the place is beautiful. Its open at 5 PM but u have to wait earlier than that. we arrived at around 4 and already lined up... at 5, u can only wait to go in. the place is not that big.. but if u have the time, do visit :)

okay, I'll post more story and more picture, I forget to bring cable to connect my camera to the lappy :p see ya

yay!

2010-06-03T10:16:00.003+08:00

(Laka Leke, Ubud)

(Queen tandoor, Seminyak) (Bu Oka, Ubud) (Baten Waru, Kuta)

babymooning is here :)

Start from Surabaya to Malang. I've eaten a lot!
From nasi buk, rawon tessy, bakso subur, nasi krengsengan daging Subuh up to Sushi, Salmon and grilled scallop :p

Enjoying the wedding party of Erwin and Zenia. A simple yet warm party where we can mingle around. Rain was pouring cat and dog.. I was morning sick. but it didn't stop the warm and happy feeling shared that day :)

and then we go to BALI!!!! :)

1st day, we stayed at Harris riverview. the hotel itself is actually not bad. It's an apartment type with two rooms. clean. modern. spacious. the only thing is that is not that near to the beach or the crowd of legian/kuta. so, to go around one still have to drive around. If you're familiar with Bali, it is ok. but if you're not then it's not that reccomended eventhough its fare is good.
We stayed here with the newly weds and Ge. (a honeymoon with followers, hihi)

But, we didn't waste time staying at the hotel. the 1st day itself, we already went to Ubud. It took us around 45minutes to get there. and we pigged out! satisfied but I can hardly breathe. lol
I eat 'babi guling' or suckling pig bu Oka. it's very, very well-known. crowded and yummy. a plate shared by me and ud. not because the portion is small, but because we still want to hunt other food.
after bu Oka, I thought we would walk around ubud area and then eat again. Turn out, we went to naughty nuri's straight to eat spare ribs, and the spare ribs here is SO GOOD!!! of course we shared it again.
and then, we continued looking for a place called LAKA LEKE. I saw it at the "pak Bondan" show in tv. its a hideaway restaurant. nice place. like padi field. The 5 of us ordered a plate of 'the famous Laka Leke Crispy Duck' and shared it. delicious. but we are already very full. hehe.

So, off we back to Kuta area. had an ice cream. and go home, exhausted. my tummy is so bloated! I felt like I gain 10 kgs just in 1 day :p
and I thought we had enough food dor the day. Apparently we still had nasi padang for the night... and off we go to dreamland =)

so long... till we meet in day 2 in Bali. (Psstt... we're gping to SilQ villa) tata...
p/s: photos of food will be uploaded..

preparing my "babymoon"

2010-05-14T17:01:00.002+08:00

Just like you know, how much Rudy and I love travelling, we're going to have our (1st) 'babymoon'.
I just hope there will be the 2nd, 3rd and so on, yah ud?? :)

Why 'babymooning' ?
1. Of course it is just an excuse so I can still travel :p
2. Well, I think it is very important (at least for us) cos' this is going to be our very last chance of being a 'single' couple. after this our life would be mommy and daddy.. forever! so, yeah! Let's travel, beybeh!
3. I don't know what kind of life behold after a baby enters our world. Should be a wonderful one. But our life now is 1 hell of a wonderful one, too... so it is our kind of 'goodbye' to old life

Basicly its just that.

So, where to?
A place that is loved by both of us, for sure..
I want USA!! huhuhu but, its very far and costly :'( so have to wait next in line, hikz

This time, have to be content with Bali. But, I always love Bali. So, it really doesn't matter if we have to spend again and again and again in Bali. Funny is that, when we go to Bali, it's most likely that we stay at the same hotel over and over again :( that way how can we explore new hotels? sigh... well, to be honest, we would like to try different accommodations, but facing the $$$$$ problem, usually 'forced' us to return to our lovely bed n breakfast hotel. ha ha.

but not this time! We want a new environment. a new atmosphere. and we made a deal to always try a new accommodation the next time we go to Bali. (cross my fingers) ha ha.

And now, I'm browsing around to find nice villa, nice hotel. of course nice as in great location, great rooms, clean, modern, hip, happening and AFFORDABLE!. and that can be so hard because of the budget, rite? rite? argghhhh.... headache. If we've seen some that we like, its fully booked on the date. the one available, we don't really like the room. or the facilities... sigh.

well, I will keep this updated. I will share where we stay. how is the service. how is the hotel or villa. so long for now. tata

2 months, yet so amazing (at least to me)

2010-04-28T12:07:00.002+08:00

With 2 months of pregnancy :

my tummy is already bulging. and its quite big!! I though 2 months time the tummy should still be flat??!! I'm supposedly still slim? how come my tummy is bulging already ?? oh no!!

the baby likes to travel or go out a lot. I was so worried that I'll have trouble flying. I'll be weak or nausea like always. but amazingly, the baby is soooo good!!! -.-" no trouble AT ALL! It was in fact one of my best day throughout my pregnancy. amazing, haha.

morning sickness and him :)

2010-04-25T12:49:00.003+08:00

Oh and by the way, believe it or not, Rudy also get the 'morning sickness' hehe

During the first week of my pregnancy, he also felt nausea and weak. And now, he cannot see something 'disgusting' or 'smelly' as he said.

eg. He went to a public toilet. it stinks. usually, he would feel nothing, now he wanted to vomit. Also, we went outside to eat. the server is late to clean up the mess on the table, he saw the 'dirty' plate (its just a plate with unfinished rice, actually) and he's again so disgusted and almost vomit. that's so funny, :D

Anyway, I still feel weak sometimes. Lik yesterday, ugh, it was one of the worst day. I cant even get up.. sigh. and I think my stomach is so gassy, that it hurts... I felt as if i'm being poked.
the bad news doesn't stop there. So this morning when I ate yellow rice, my upper top braces came off! I don't know how it happen, but because of it, I have to fly to Jakarta. tommorow! Being honest, I really dread this trip. I'm just worried that the pregnancy is so young that something might happen, but also, the braces is very disturbing. So, I guess i'm left with no choice. sigh. So, if you happen to read this post, please pray for us. I really, really hope that everything is going to be alright.

Do you face morning sickness, yent?

2010-04-20T08:11:00.002+08:00

'Sure, I do!'

In fact, its not only in the morning. but almost throughout the day. But, I still think that it's better than most people, hehe.

Well, at least I still could eat happily. When some people can't stand the smell of this and that, I'm fine. When some people crave for this and that, I'm fine. Well, I do want to eat some particular food, but so far it's not weird. Oh, and I do realized that I especially love soup, lately. yah, I do look for soup to accompany for almost all my meals :)

In the earlier week, after eating I would usually threw up. Felt very bad nausea, my whole body felt weak. low blood-pressure. felt very sick. felt miserable. But, it ease up along the way. Thanks God. I still face nausea and vomitting still continue. But it's much better compared to the earlier week. So, I think... I hope... I don't have to face this for more than 3 months :D

Oh one more difference since the pregnancy, now almost every morning, I wake up before 8 o'clock. Something so rare, haha...

Well, okay, that's it. cheers everyone ;)

wow..

2010-04-12T12:16:00.002+08:00

There are two stripes in my test pack ;) hehe

yes, it's a positive. I have even checked it @ a lab, and it is positive :)

I can't help but smile the whole day.

Details:

So, the 'uninvited every month guest' is late this month. But is normal, isn't it. It should come real soon, or so I guess because I had these stomach and leg cramps every night. I was sleepy for 2 days, days and night.. but again I thought it was because I woke up too early to work and anyway, I love sleeping :p One day at my grandma, I was very very hungry around 5.30 PM. unusual, but nothing cross my mind. Somehow, its already late by a week. and the cramps wouldn't go away. I jokingly said to Rudy, if it is not the menstruation, must be the pregnancy. I must be pregnant. But, that was just a crazy joke we shared. and because on Friday morning Rudy had to fly to Jakarta, so we decided to buy another test pack.

On Thursday morning, I sleepily took the test. well, to be honest I was expecting a stripe. cos, the few times I tested, it was ALWAYS a stripe. I took the test this time just to make sure its another a stripe and I would be 'see, a stripe rite? nothing to worry'. but then, 2 stripes appeared. fast and clear. and I was there, in the toilet, stunned and ... stunned...

walked slowly back to the bed, showed it to my sleeping dodol, and he was like... urmmmm read the instruction and we prayed. yes, he tried not too be overjoyed :( cos, he's afraid its a wrong alarm...haiyah. So we went to the lab and checked... and its positive. see husband! you should be overjoyed, so happy with me on the first alarm... on the second one just to ensure you, its not that surprising anymore, isn't it?? dodol! hehehe

we prayed, I had tears in my eyes. I couldn't believe it. God trusted us with the little baby. I can't thank You God, enough.

Only in You, I surrender our health and well-being.

Plastic

2010-03-27T17:41:00.002+08:00

I think I've been quite negative lately :(

I dunno, it's not like I want to be so negative.. but it's so hard to stay positive while u r seeing some negative things happen. I tried to look at the positive sides, but.. well I've tried too much to look at the positive sides, but who am I fooling?

I am just so freaking tired with manipulative, fake, pretentious, full of shit people rite now. Like I shared in my facebook status; pretentious person is just like a cross stitches piece. pretty at the front but so twisted and messed up at the back. dont u think so??

I'm disappointed with someone close to me. To see 'this' side of them.. well, I never like fake, 'plastic' type of person, so yeah, its still hard for me to respect them.
have u ever meet anyone like that? care to share with me?

people change

2010-03-27T11:41:00.002+08:00

so what have I been up to???

1. I cook real dish food! and yes, I'm really excited and proud about it :p it's not that simple frozen food. Not the fry-fry only type. Not the simple ingredients type of dish. But those dish with cutting, chopping, onion, ginger, oyster sauce, this and that sauce. also the clean and chopping meat also veggies. all the 'beribed', messy preparations. and success!! taste good. edible. no one has stomache. hoho. yay!

2. I started to give tuition to kids again. I stopped because I was bored. had a limited time for myself. likes to be free. but then when the offer is there, I think again. and I'm ready to give tuition again.

3. I am into gardening now, hehe. It's been a year my garden is just grass and 2 trees. that's it. I don't even water it and so on. But now, I bought lotsa sanseviera and planted it in a pot. many, many pots. I planted iris. water lily. Pandan Bali, and bambu air in the garden. I water, I watched it everyday. I even plucked out 'rumput liar' hahay.... Let's see how long it will last :p

well, I changed :)

for fun :)

Banjarmasin

2010-02-16T12:03:00.004+08:00

Banjarmasin...

is hot, gersang, not much to see. Has a nicer mall compared to Samarinda, much nicer. Has a YUMMY seafood. overall, not much we can do in Banjar.

We enjoyed our short holiday trip there. I always try to enjoy my wherever-I-go-trip. especially this is my first time there. Also, spending quality time with my bro n sis in-law is always a pleasure.

I thank God that we (me with bro n sis in-law) are quite close. Still not that close, yet cos I just know them for a short period of time and don't have the chance to know them on daily basics. But still, we don't have any problem with each other. each of my in-law is great. nice. kind. friendly. and on top of everything, no jealousy between us. I really hope we could really become a great in law. having a conflict with in-laws must be sucks =p

anyway, really happy to see my hubby enjoyed having a great time with his brothers.
Happy Chinese New Year and also a wonderful Valentine, all =)

yuhu...

2010-02-01T11:18:00.002+08:00

:D im back... :D
yayyyy!!!
hihihi, feel a little guilty.

Actually I was excited for this year valentine. because Rudy had an idea in mind n that he'll surprise me. Oooo, how I love surprises. So, the plan was to fly to a place (I dunno where). I just have to be ready with the luggage and we will celebrate there.

but then.. we just realised that this year valentine is on the same day as Chinese New Year. Ooo... I'm dissapointed. and we have to celebrate the CNY with my big family....

......

guess what?? my parents, who I am supposed to celebrate the CNY with, are planning to leave us to Singapore for medical check up. uh ow.... what's so fun then staying in Samarinda for CNY? the only thing is that Nicole (my niece) is left behind. So, we have to look after her.

but yeyent will still be yeyent, huh??? I really wish to be able to go somewhere. explore somewhere. not just to stay here, in Samarinda. So, I check travel agents here and there, and ta raaaaa...... we're going to Banjarmasin (visit Rudy's brothers) with nicole along, yey!!!!!!!

Banjar, we're coming!!!!

ps: I'm sorry, Nicole. this year we couldn't bring you angpao hunting... ;p

finally!!

some highlights of spore trip

2009-10-24T12:24:00.005+08:00

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...

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....

2009-10-15T21:43:00.002+08:00

update

2009-10-13T00:32:00.002+08:00

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

2009-10-10T12:09:00.003+08:00

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

2009-10-04T10:02:00.002+08:00

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?

2009-10-04T09:30:00.003+08:00

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

2009-10-04T09:10:00.002+08:00

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!

2009-09-18T19:18:00.004+08:00

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

2009-09-03T11:26:00.000+08:00

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..

2009-08-19T11:30:00.001+08:00

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
buat yg tinggal di luar negeri jangan lupa ke kedutaan n semangat patriotnya di pompa lagi.
buat yg lagi liburan tapi sakit cuciannn degh lo, haha kidding!

yuk kita semua bersatu buat Indonesia. kl perlu sambl berdiri tegak, kepala diangkat, busungkan dada, nyanyi Indonesia Raya! I am proud to be Indonesian :)
Majulah Indonesiaku! MERDEKA!!

PS. btw, pas malam2 cari makan, ketemu depot rawon nguling yg buka cabang loh. asal tau aja, pas ke malang makan rawon nguling ini nikmat benerrrr... jadi kebetulan ketemu cabangnya, bahagia bener rasanya :D enak pula, besok maw makan kesini lagi ahhhh...... :)

Beautiful Reminder

I received an inspiring email. I hope these will inspire and strengthen you guys ;)

Enjoy....

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

2009-08-09T16:22:00.002+08:00

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

2009-08-03T23:24:00.003+08:00

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

2009-07-26T23:53:00.004+08:00

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

I choose to do it. even before we get married. that's why we get a small house for the 2 of us.
then of course, yes, the house is not big. So I am still able to do it. stick to my words ;)
I love my house so much. I have this syndrome of not trusting the other can do it better than me, haha.
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
I love my hubby. this is one of the ways I express my feeling towards him. weird huh?? kekeke.
we don't really like the idea 'there is a stranger in our house'
I feel very matured doing it :p
everytime, I finish doing it, I would really feel that satisfication with myself
I dun exercise much, this is one way of exercising

but of course there are also some stuffs that dread me

I hate it when my hands are dry and dusty. this is always a problem esp. after mopping =(
I hate it when it comes to clean those disgusting, geeky, smelly part
cleaning toilet bowl can be such a pain in the ass!!
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 ^^

I'm back...

2009-07-25T23:21:00.002+08:00

after so long gone, here I am... back :)
where have I been?? nowhere actually. juz that everytime I want to blog, I have to ask dodol to bring back his lappy back from work :p well, it's his lappy, I borrowed it, keke. so poor him, have to trouble him everytime.

the thing is, I just got a new blackberry ^^ haha... so excited =p I know, I know, I did mention that I wanted to get dodol a BB for his bday. and now, I am the one using it ;p the BB is actually a gift from my mom lah. dunno what struck her for her to buy me one, hehehehe. so, I'm still very into it. everyday also do something, something with it ;p too bad, blogging thru BB is not that fun. sigh. so here I am, still borrowing ud's lappy to blog :p

btw, if only I know my mom get me a BB, that time on ud's bday I should realy get him one =(

another thing is my sofa for the game room has finally arrived. yai! so, only audio set to go. now the game room looks like what it should look like. no more matress on the floor. no more backache when playing xbox.

thanks God for all His blessings.

I am sick

2009-07-19T09:40:00.003+08:00

it's like the whole package of sickness.
running nose, cough, fever, toothache (so bad), headache, my bodyache, my eyes watery...
arghhhhh.... I really hate it when I'm sick.

but dodol is so nice. At night when we're going to sleep, he didn't turn on the AC. well, if he is sick, I didn't turn on the AC, too. but I'm used to sleep in hot condition since kiddo. I'm the type that prefer feeling hot than feeling cold. so I think he made a bigger contribution. he did everything he could to make me feel better. thanks ya Ud.

Now, I write it down in my blog not to make u guys wanna puke, hihi. I believe your hubby do nice things, too if you are sick. I write it because I want it to be a reminder. if one day I'm frustated with this dodol (yg emang sukanya irritate gue!!) then I remember this and reluctantly forgive his foolness =p kekekkee.....=p

terrorist kejam...

2009-07-19T09:35:00.001+08:00

kenapa yah harus ada bom lagi??
kenapa ada orang yg tega ngelukain, ngecelakain bahkan membunuh nyawa orang lain??? =(

be strong yah orang2 yg ditinggal oleh yg dikasihi. cepet sembuh buat yg luka2.
mudah2an Indonesia akan menjadi negara yang lebih baik and lebih aman. God bless Indonesia.

happy 1st anniversary dodol...

2009-07-14T22:33:00.005+08:00

wew, been a year yah dutz?? still a newbie ;)
well anyway, thanks a lot for this wonderful and colorful year together. just like the card I gave you... our marriage works because we can discuss anything! you're hardly ever right, but we can still discuss it ;D

dodolz gave me a surprise on our anniversary. ^^ yupz, I lurveee surprises... and presents, kekeke. he booked a room in Novotel, Balikpapan. It's a really nice hotel. we spent our valentine over there, too. but this time, he booked a deluxe room, which is of course bigger and nicer. then he told the receptionist that we're on honeymoon, so is there anything the hotel can do for us, perhaps flowers?? and guess what, they gave us a room with the best view, decorated the rooms with bouquet of fresh flowers and also made a heart shape flower petals on the bed and filled the bath tub with rose petals. WOW.... so nice!! thank u hunzie... =) and also novotel of course..

the funny part was it was my first time having rose petals on the bed and bath tub. So, I really think what a waste when I go to sleep or take a bath!! what to do?? I'm gonna mess those up!! such a waste. still very suaku leh, hihi. then, I also asked dodolz, how to clean up the petals?? haiz.... in the end, we left the petals all over the place, kekekkeeke ;p

Once again, happy anniversary dear. hope more good years to come, yah ^^ mwacks!

bali

2009-07-10T18:46:00.003+08:00

Here are some places that I went at the Bali trip :

waterboom ~ nice place. fun. great to take ur kids there too, cos they have a big kiddy pool. you can rent a gazebo to put ur stuff and chill out but of course there should be someone to look after your belongings. If that's not possible, then just use the locker. simple. by the way, during my visit, I was having my period =( so I just sat at the gazebo gloomily. but after sometime I couldn't take it anymore. I crossed the street to discovery mall... bought a shorts and tampoon, wakakakkaa..... and back I went to waterboom and.... splash, splash ;)
Arena ~ It's a restaurant with great food and great price. not expansive. they have different kind of food from many countries. I love the baby back ribs and the pork ham chop.
Naughty Nuris at Ubud is a yumz yumz...
I also ate at Bu Oka suckling pig at Ubud. It's a famous place for suckling pig
Ocean 27 at the discovery mall is a cool place to hang out. even nicole likes it
kuta beach. borrowed the small surfing board for Rp. 15.000
swimming pool
seminyak to window shopping
rumors reastaurant. quite nice
sukowati market. a place where u get cheaper stuff. dont forget to bargain!
flap jack. they have nice waffles and ice creams. but quite expensive

oh ya, you might wanna try kudeta, another cool hang out place. or go to monkey forest, but watch out for the very naughty monkeys. try to buy pai susu, yummy and u might want to try water sport around Nusa dua beach. hmmm... that's all I remember. Have fun

Sby...presidentku... Lanjutkan!

2009-07-09T00:02:00.005+08:00

~Jusuf Kalla~ ~Megawati~

~SBY~

Today is the president's election day for Indonesia. There are 3 candidates. Rudy and I chose our current president, SBY to continue the leadership for this country. and look like he's winning.

Semoga Indonesia lebih jaya n makin maju dengan kepemimpinan president yang terpilih.

lebih bersih, lebih ijo, lebih aman, ga macet, kemiskinan ga merajalela lagi, pendidikan pun semakin baik dan anak2 di pedesaan bisa sekolah.

Maju terus Indonesia!!

~Naughty Nuris, Ubud~

refresh ^^

2009-07-07T23:28:00.009+08:00

Yai.... just get back from my 2 weeks holiday trip. Bali and Batu. I really enjoy the trip. So fun.. I thought it's gonna be a dread since so many people involved (more than 50 in Bali and more than 30 in Batu!) I thought 'oh shit, this time I can't go anywhere' or 'is it gonna be fun?? hmmmm' or 'haiyohhhh, who can I hang out with??' but it turns out to be so fun, relaxing, enjoyable. hope we can do it again next year, haha..

some interesting events:

my mom's bday. we tried to make her drunk. instead she made another woman drunk. sigh. then we planned to plunge her into the pool at midnite, but since she was quite drunk, we abandon the idea. but then we threw rudy into the pool, kekeke and he pulled my uncle with him, together with my uncle's handphone....
in the afternoon, my mom thought she was safe. she even washed her hair. we pulled her and threw her into the pool ;p and then no one is safe and dry anymore...
On rudy's bday, I forced him to take picture with 2 sexy, bunny girls :p still waiting for Zenia to send me the pic...
Nicole is almost drown... Rudy plunged into the pool to save her. how sweet of him. but this dear dodol (read: silly) hubby of mine forgot that his wallet, handphone and car keys are in his pocket.... arghhhh..... wet wet wet.... and yes, the car key is the remote one, so we panicked when we can't open the door, hiks hiks
one of my aunt fell down when she was carrying her baby grandson ='( thankfully the baby is ok and so does she.

Actually there are so many interesting events/incidents... but I dunno how to put it in words ;p lousy me =p
just enjoy some of the pictures I took. as always, I dun take so many pictures... and again it's just taken from handphone ;p

here is Nicole and my dad cuddling like a turtle in Batu. It was super cold!

walau mungkin dari 3 anak mami, yang paling sering keras 'mokong'nya and kalau ngomong ketus, judes, to the point, susah diatur, teoritis, suka keras kepala, suka sok tau itu yeyent... tapi semua itu juga karna yent ga pernah mau nutupin apapun yg yent pikirin atau rasain dari mami. ga pernah sedikitpun terbersit mau lukain/sakitin perasaan mami... walau yent juga sadar sering kali yent bikin sedih mami. apalagi kalau kita udah mulai quarrel... soalnya sama2 ga mau kalah and perang dingin pun terjadi. but guess what, kata c cuint, papi m rudy ternyata itu soalnya yent itu nurun mami. sifat n karakter paling mirip mami, jadi kl ribut, sama2 keras, kekeke.

udah 50 yah mi..... yent masih lom bisa kasih mami apa2. blom bisa ajak mami jalan keluar negri. blom bisa kasih mami hadiah perhiasan. blom bisa beliin mami tas2 branded (soalnya yg ada juga kebeli buat diri sendiri, hehe) I wish soon yent bisa cepet2 do sumthing for you. bikin mami happy and proud of me =) tunggu yah mi yang sabar....

I love you so much mum..... inspirasi yent, tempat yent berkeluh kesah, tempat yent minta nasehat, teman yang asik buat gosip, jalan, blanja. pemberi nasehat yg super. minoritas and ibu ketam yang unik ;) u r my everything..... mwacks

helppp.....

Huaaa.... Rudy's bday is coming. still confused on what to give him =(
what to do?? what to do??? actually my mom's bday is 1 day earlier than his, but I guess this time I'm gonna get her a bday cake only. dunno what else to buy. and we're all goin to spend the bday in Bali this year. but really should get sumthing for dodol, don't u think?? (well, it's a must so he'll also have to get me something on my bday, kekekeke ;p)

here are some lists of the 'might be' present:

Blackberry Bold (but its Rp. 6.500.000, bow!! and if I get him a BB, then what are we gonna do with his old HTC?? Isn't HTC is a good mobile, too??)
belt (but I dun think I have enough time to get him a nice belt. for sure can't find a nice 1 down here in Smd, must wait till at least we arrived in Surabaya)
he ever told me to get him a Wii but I actually know not that he really wanted a wii but he wanted me to be able to play in the games room, too. playing his xbox is almost impossible cos almost all the games are too 'macho' for me. so is wii actually present for him or for me?? =(
what else, what else??? i'm stuck... no more idea... =( dunno what else...

I dun think this year I will have time to make him some 'art n craft' present that I used to make for him.... am I left with the BB option?? nothing else??? any idea for me???

in my own lala land.....

2009-06-17T00:15:00.003+08:00

temen2 di luar kota lebih tau tentang gossip2 seputar kota ini daripada saia, bused dah
sekalinya kemaren bisa jalan2 di mall sendirian berasa 'hueee, dah lama bener since the last time gue jalan2 sendiri gini'
mummy n yg lain suka nanya 'hari ini kesini ga??' nanyanya si saban ari. maunya saban ari ogud kesono. kalau bisa yg lamaan dikit disononya. hehe. dah gitu sekalinya kaga kesono dibilang 'lama2 jadi orang antik lo!' :/
berasa disini hampir tak ada temen baru lagi. itu2 doank. apalagi ama temen baek si aci. wah terakhir jalan ama anak ini sih dah kapan yah?? ama epinga juga dah jarang kontek. ck ck ck
sekarang call log gue yg nelpon paling2 si papi, mami, dodol, nicole, dv, aci, chuantau. yg lain sih jarangggg... kekekeke
pengetahuan gue akan program tv n cerita2 seputar selebriti semakin bertambah, kekeke
duh udah deh ya, malu saia buka aib sendiri =p

yah gitu deh......... sebenernya sih I live in my own lala land ini dah lama. since pindah Samarinda sini udah rada2 mengkungkung diri deh kayanya gue. ga tau juga kenapa. tapi kayanya abis merid makin akut aja ini penyakit... tapi kayanya kalian pasti ada juga dunk yg live in your own lala land?? ya kan ya kan?? gue ga sendirian kan????? =)

2009-06-15T20:01:00.005+08:00

Every time I go to a salon, there will be a 'repeated-never-fail' statement from the worker.
"wuihhh, rambutnya tebel yah mba...." (wuiiihhhh, what a thick hair you have)
never fail!

the funny one is that once I went with rudy. he shaved his hair. I just blow dry mine. The lady can't help herself and said "so thick, you should give some of your hair to your hubby"

wkwkwkwkwkwkw =p

counting the days...

2009-06-13T18:36:00.005+08:00

YAI! we're heading to Bali in a few more days. can't hardly wait. ^^ I always love Bali. dunno why. and seems like even so many things I have done there, there are still many, many more I haven't do, yet. like staying at villa de daun =)
Hopefully this time I can spare some time to spa at the Dalla. craving for spa but always failed to do so. Naughty Nuris is a must! =)

I will fly on the 24th and on the 25th we already scheduled for water boom *excited mode on*

Bali, bali, bali, bali....

*this pic was taken years ago.. our 1st trip to Bali =)

swim swim

2009-06-13T11:01:00.005+08:00

Yesterday, I went to Jessica water park in a big group of almost 30 of us. ck ck ck. little cousins, niece with some of their nannies. my parents, my aunts and uncles.

Now, my thighs and arms ache ='( must be because I'm so lazy and exercise no more. damn...

Since I'm not a good photographer, I just post some pics that I took but not so nice... and this one is after swimming. in the middle is Sean, successfully fall asleep, kekeke.

cape dheeee.....

2009-06-11T19:49:00.003+08:00

depan rumah itu mestinya ada kolam kecil. tapi dari pindah mpe hari ini itu kolam blom bisa beroperasi dengan baik. bete de. gara2 ada bocornya, entah dimana. udah di waterproof ama tukang mahal2 sampe batu candi jadi rusak n jelek semua juga masih aja tetep bocor. sighhh...

akhirnya setelah berpikir, berdiskusi, berargumen, kita putusin buat ngerombak total tuh kolam dari awal lagi. cape deee. and si papi yang notabene pinter masalah kontruksi rumah gitu ngusulin buat ngewaterproof ulang aja, since udah mulai dari awal lagi...

Pas malam, lagi ngobrol2 ama papi mami...
"Pi, itu waterproofnya mahal loh.."

"soalnya high season waterboom itu... itu di jakarta aja udah ada waterpark baru, tadi papi nonton di tv ama anak2" *dengan semangat 45 neranginnya* hah????

trus si mami juga nyambung "iya, itu udah high season... itu aja kita dah dapet harga murah lohhhh..."

"lah??? aku ini ngomongin waterprooffffff... bukan waterboom, bukan waterpark!!!??? gimana sihhhh??? semangat bener mau ke Bali???"

Jaka sembung naik ojek, ga nyambunggggg Jack!!!

well, aniwei, Nicole is having her examinations. but she seems to be doing well. Last Friday, she and my other lil' cousins played bicycles and scooter at my complex. It was so fun. Nicole is the only one who still cannot ride a bike =( so she just played scooter.

then another news is that Rudy just cut his hair SHORT. like really short. like botak actually, haha.
thanks God he still look good.

** I've seen some of nicole's result. mostly she scored 80s.. some she answered very silly! juz like her.
eg. Where is the car?? ..........
answer should be " It is in the garage" but this very dudul girl answered "It is in the school" !!!??

"loh, kok di school si Nicole??" (how come 'in the school?)
"uncle Donny kan taruh mobil sekolah di sekolah???" (uncle Donny parked the school's car in the school??)
*sigh*

Oops...

2009-05-25T13:10:00.002+08:00

shabby?

2009-05-21T23:46:00.003+08:00

My sis said I am shabby, now. After being married... =(
Hmmphhh. well, I used to be vain when I was younger. But, I don't think I'm shabby... urrggghhh..

Just because I don't dress up, doesnt make me shabby does it?? (correct me if i'm wrong) but I don't see the point of dressing up, here. No place to hang out. nobody to be seen and be seen. I go out to eat for a while then go back home. The places are also lame, so, why bother to dress up?? as long as I wear comfy clothes, off I go. BUT, I do dress nicer if I go to church, or party. or if there is any event held.

Like today, I try to put on some nice clothes. to show how wrong my sis is, hehehe =p

well, I admit, I became lazier to dress up after marriage. but it's also because I try to save up, what?? 1st of all, there is no nice shop down here, in Samarinda. 2ndly, whenever I go to nicer city, plan to shop, look at the price tags, do some reasoning, usually always end up being unable to buy clothes. such a pity to spend money on clothes when I still have other needs. So, if I used to shop, shop and shop for clothes, nowadays no more shopping for clothes. So, If I don't really dress up is also because my clothes are not updated already.

I am not shabby. I just choose not to dress up that much. no point. I will dress up if I want to =p (excuses, excuses, excuses) ok lah, I admit... I'm a BIT shabby, huh! puas puas?? masih ga terima nih =p!!

Credit card Fraud

2009-05-18T23:33:00.004+08:00

Rudy almost has a credit card fraud!

The chronology : a man called Rudy on his cellphone. the caller is using Jakarta's number. He said Rudy get a voucher to stay at any 3 star or 4 star hotel anywhere in Indonesia. Included samarinda hotel such as Bumi Senyiur. and also he could stay at Nanda hotel, Bali for 2 days free. and the tickets to Bali gets 50% disc. So far, nothing about credit card is mention. oh ya, btw, he knew Rudy's full name, rudy's address, rudy's office name, Rudy's number. also rudy's first 8 credit card's number.

Then, after some courtasy talk bla bla bla bla and bla, he stressed out that these vouchers valid for 5 years and made sure that Rudy's card would still be valid till then. and asked for the validation date. here is the mistake. Rudy didn't know that validation date would be as dangerous as the 3 cvw number. He thought, as long as he didn't know the 3 cvw number, it's ok. but it's not ok!!! now, we know.

This fraud guy even sms Rudy the details of Nanda hotel, Bali. included with the website. which I later on check, look like some bullshit website. Well, this guy said that it's a 3 stars hotel upgraded to a 4 stars hotel. but, looking at the website, impossible! He even gave contact number to be confirmed on.

After some thinking, we agreed that this might be one of those credit card fraud. so we called the bank call center, intended to block this transaction. but guess what? a Rp. 1.900.000 transaction has been made. The guy did mention earlier that this sum is is to be depositted, bla bla bla. Rudy has to send a copy of his identity card and he will send back the card, bla bla bla. but hey, how come he already made a transaction??

the bank did help us to block the credit card. but we also can't sign on anything sent. nothing at all. not even tiki's receipt. so we have to wait on and see. I hope we don't have to pay for that damn Rp. 1.900.000 transaction. please, please, please, please....

So guys, beware. I hope this post could help anyone out there not to be cheated.

for you who did this to us... well, u just rot in hell! wah, so mean??! hhehe. ok, ok.... hmmm
for you who did this to us... well, ...... well,...... damn you! huh!

KUTU KUPRED SIALAN!

2009-05-17T22:17:00.003+08:00

heaven sent

2009-05-17T09:02:00.004+08:00

3 years ago, I was engaged to X. why I broke up, it's because we no longer have the same vision ahead. the way we think and face problems are way too different and it seems hard for us to adjust. I also found him very manipulative and narrow-minded. But he sure has a very decent face which made me seems to be the bad guy.

why is he manipulative? well, first of all, he let me seems to be the bad guy. his parents thought there's a 3rd party. and accused rudy for it. why? because rudy is single and is my best friend. which made us quite close. and he lets his parents and also most people who know us think that way. but, he made my mom thought that the 3rd party was my ex that my mom doesn't approve of. but the real reason is not a 3rd party. there's no 3rd party. It's simply he's narrow minded. and I dun love him. I realised I never really love him. what I had back then was flattered, liking, but not chemistry. and so I was thinking what is wrong with us? why don't I want to be touch by him? why don't I really care if we're not together? I was thinking to postpone the wedding. never in my mind crossed to cancel the wedding. cos I thought, if u were meant to be, it's ok to postpone the wedding. u don't have to rush it. If you are afraid that the wedding is off, there must be something wrong on your relationship then. and he was afraid. he didn't want to postpone. the wedding has to go on.

It hit me hard. I realised our relationship is not strong. we can't force a wedding if the foundation is not strong enough.
After long argument, quarrels, fight, counselings, depression, lots and lots of tears, heartaches, we broke up.
In this small town, it became public consumption and people talk about it. hmm. and thanks to my not-decent face, and always-put-on-a-smile- face, people really believed that I was fine and we broke up because of a 3rd party. damn it!

Yes, I was hurt. and yes I was humiliated. yes, it broke my heart. yes, i was sad. I felt those,too. even if I was the one who decided to cancel off the wedding. but I'm just a girl. and those upset me, too.

thankfully, even most of my friends drew away (doesn't want to get involve, it's ok, I understand) but Rudy stay still. and there's one more special person who stay still by my side. her name is devi aka epinga =) I just can't thanks her enough for her friendship. She was the one who trust me. she was the one who always said ok whenever, wherever I 'kidnapped' her. At that time I almost always went out with rudy, epinga and another girl, siuling. So, what made epinga so special to me?

cos' she stayed still on my side even if most of her friends were on X side. She knew X too. but that didn't make her to avoid me. remember when I said people thought that Rudy was a 3rd party? yes, that made people think that rudy and I were just using epinga as our cover up. mean, huh?

Pi, thank you so much yah for the friendship. for your kindness, for your ears, for your trust and also for your time. It must be tough on you to trust us when people said we're using you. and I knew you were dissapointed in us, too, once (I know once, I don't know if there's more =p) when we finally really court. but once again, thanks for opening your heart one more time for us.

friends forever. love you much. Muach.

hoahmmm...

2009-05-13T23:27:00.003+08:00

bye bye anger

2009-05-12T09:46:00.004+08:00

Maia (a singer) has another song. "Sang Juara" (read: The champion)

I like the morale of this song. This song is not about a champion who succeed to defeat her opponent. Instead, what it's trying to share is that no matter how hard someone is trying to topple you down, and even if u failed and toppled down badly, what matters is that u still stay rigid and try to stand up without having to take revenge.

(read: Lagu Sang Juara bukan tentang seorang pemenang yang berhasil mengalahkan lawannya, tapi lagu ini ingin menyampaikan pesan bahwa sehebat apapun seseorang ingin menjatuhkan aku, bahkan sampai aku terjatuh sekalipun, aku tetap berusaha tegar an kembali berdiri tanpa harus membalas dendam) dalemmm ya??

I do wanna be a champion. I fell down hard. like 3 years ago. it hurts me so bad that sometime when I think about it, it still hurts me. people don't know that it hit me so hard, cos I always put on a smile. sometime, me, myself don't even know that I'm hurt this bad. But, after knowing this song, reading HANDBOOK and some prayer, I managed to let go. phewww... thanks God. Thanks a lot, God.
I don't want to waste my time holding grunges, holding regret, hating people. bye bye hatred. bye bye heartache, bye bye tears (not that I dun wanna cry again, I'm such a crybaby =p , but no more tears for this matter, =D ) bye bye anger.
Welcome peacefullness. welcome beautiful life =D Yeyent is ready to face a better future.

Siap Grak!!

2009-05-11T09:18:00.001+08:00

tambahan

2009-05-10T12:23:00.005+08:00

oh iya.. sembari menyambung post ku sebelumnya, ada yg mau aku tambahin nih
padahal yg sebelumnya udah panjang lebar. bawel banget sih ini anak :p

kemaren2 ini sempet ngobrol2 ama sodara yang hidupnya kayanya lempenggg bener. dari yang pacaran ama cowo anak orang kaya yg super royal, kikikik :p trus meridnya yg ga perlu pusing budget (ga seperti cc'mu ini) honeymoon ke Europe, tinggal jalan. rumah mewah berikut perabot, tersedia. trus mau hamil, langsung tokcer, mau melahirkan ga pusing biaya persalinan. ke dokter, beli2 barang bayi, beli2 barang pribadi buat ibu hamil, semua terjamin dan serba mudah. blom lagi ntaran yang anak mo sekolah atau apapun juga, ga usah pusing. ditambah sekarang ini anaknya yang menjadi kesayangan grandparents dari both side. maklum for both grandparents, ini adalah grandchild mereka yg pertama and super gres!! kikikik... mudah yah? bused dah.

dah gitu aku baca blog ini. beda banget idupnya. serdehana. penuh lika liku. tapi semua dijabar dengan jujur ga pake pretense sok kaya. tapi tetep full of life. tetep happy. tetep asik. aku yang baca ikutan terhibur. dari muda udah kena kista. dia ada nulis wanita + kista + pacar tapi gak mao kawin berat banget rasanya. aku sendiri ga ada kista. amit2 jangan sampe deh jadi ga tau juga rasanya gimana. tapi pasti berat bgt deh. tapi kayanya di blognya ini dia happy2 aja deh ama suaminya.

aku jadi belajar... hidup ini emang lucu. bukannya kehidupan sodaraku itu salah. ngga koq. dia ga salah sama sekali. I'm happy for her, too. cuman kadang orang maunya hidupnya keliatannya serba WAH. tapi dari orang2 kaya Viol ini'lah kita bisa belajar, apa sih arti hidup yg sebenernya. hidup itu penuh perjuangan. ada keringat, air mata. tapi itu yg bikin hidup makin berarti. bikin hidup lebih hidup, hehehe. koq kayanya gue jadi lebay sih? as if blog nya viol itu hidupnya susah amat?
ngga koq viol, hidup lo asik koq, beneran deh. gue cuman doyan aja lo ga kaya cewe kebanyakan yg typical hedonis gitu, =D

please deh, jangan lebay...

2009-05-10T11:40:00.002+08:00

Hmmpfhh.
Dunia ini koq makin hedonis aja yah perasaan?? orang2 makin sok glamour gitu. iya kalau emang hidupnya glamour beneran. gue sih happy2 aja liatnya kalau bener2 glamour, tapi kalau ketemu yg sok2'an glamour gitu, suka ilfil deh liatinnya.

sekarang ini cewe2 dah banyak yg dicekokin buat cari cowo yg tajir. jadi ga usah susah2 lagi kedepannya. masa depan yg cerah.
dimana yah 'susah senang ditanggung bersama?' atau 'merintis sama2, dari susah mpe sukses bareng2?' yg ada 'si A anaknya siapa?' 'coba kamu kaya si B, pacarnya kuaya, loh'. cari pacar juga cari yang instant. jadi bisa secara instant menjadi cewe yang kaya =p
kesuksesan seseorang diartikan dengan kekayaan materi seseorang. ck ck ck.

blom lagi cewe2 ataupun ibu2 yang dengan riangnya menenteng tas2 brand luar negri yang ternyata palsu?? yah bukannya saya against barang palsu.. tapi kalau emang blom mampu beli, ya ga usah dipaksakan lah. soalnya kan selama kita membeli barang palsu, pasar barang palsu itu ada selalu. and itu kan membiarkan children labour gitu?? and lagian emang enak orang udah susah payah mendesign suatu barang trus dengan gampangnya di jiplak gitu? lagian apa serunya sih memamerkan barang yang palsu? mending duitnya dikumpulin terus beli deh yg asli, kan lebih PUAS, hehehe. eh, ini opini pribadi loh yaaaa.... jadi kalau ada yg ga seneng ya maap2 aja =)

ada juga yg punya tas2 branded buat dijadikan ajang 'ga mau kalah'. sampe segitunya yah??

pokok yg pamer sana sini ini, aduh duh duh duh..... please deh ah.... masa ya aku ada kenalan nih (mulai dah curhatnya) bisa2nya bilang kl dirumahnya dibangun ruangan yg gede and ber a.c? biarkan orang lain aja yg menilai kenapa si? sampe sebegitu pedenya muji2 rumah sendiri ke orang lain? yaelahhh.... kecuali orang nanya, ga usah sesumbar dulu deh.... haiyoh. lagian ruangannya juga ga gede2 amat gitu loh, tante... masi banyak yg lebih gede2 ini... hihihi.

kenapa gue nulis ini? ga ada alesan. cuman mau ngeluarin uneg2 aja. opini pribadi kan boleh donk. gue ada koq temen2 yg super tajir and hidupnya emang kesannya glamour bgt. yg tas brandednya berjejer jejer. kl mau cuci rambut aja di salon. pake baju ga ngulang 2x. padahal kan sayang yah. rumah segede gaban. rumah yg segede gaban and masih ada swimming pool yg segede gaban juga. yang kalau mau berangkat luar negri sana sini, gampanggg.... yang punya mall gede. yah, pokok yg bisa bikin gue ngiler deh, haha. tapi ini memang kehidupan mereka asli yang ga dibuat-buat and ga bikin mereka melarat buat jalaninnya. lagian temen2 gue yg emang tuajir2 ini, merekanya sih biasanya baik bgt. humble and ga norak banyak gaya buat pamer2. kali soalnya bapak emaknya dah kaya and mereka dah biasa dari kecil ama hidup yg gitu yah. jadi yah biasa2 aja. yang pingin ngerasain hidup gini, baru sok sok'an, hehehe.

aneh ya manusia ini?? kalau saia sih tetep memilih hidup yg biasa2 aja bersama suami tercinta, kikikik. rudy dari kecil udah terbiasa hidup mandiri. mau dapet apa ya harus berjuang dapetnya. ga ada yg serba mudah atau instant buat dia. dia ga dididik dengan materi yang berlimpah. walaupun dia bukan dari keluarga yg kekurangan.
kalau gue beda lagi. bokap dulu waktu muda, hidupnya mayan susah. jadi pas bokap usahanya maju,anak2nya ini dimanja banget. kita mau apa, sebisanya diturutin. kalau ga ada nyokap yg galak bin pelit ups hemat, ihihihihi, wah keenakan dah kita. bisa2 jadi spoiled brats.

nah sejak merid ama rudy dodol ini, yang banyak berubah dari aku ya cara 'pandang'ku ini. dari dulu si saia udah ga suka ama cewe2 hedonis bin matre, tapi abis ama rudy, jadi semakin bertambah deh. suka males bgt liat orang yang mau dapetin apa2 pake cara instant. dah gitu gayanya selangit pula. ck ck ck. capheee deeee.... temen2 gue yg super tajir aja gayanya ga selangit. kalian yg blom ada apa2nya, gayanya udah sebegitunya... haiyooohhhh..... pleaseee deh..

happy holidae, all =)
selamat hari waisak bagi yg merayakan.

No holidae for me n ud. We have to wait for handyman to repair this and that.
at my home, the handyman add another lamp outside my house cos' we found it's too dark. we have to wait for him for so many days... but it's ok lah. at least now, there's a lamp outside. and it's nice. so I am happy.

then, we have to go to Rudy's office (lebi tepatnya ruko). Because of the flood... which already been the second time at his place there, he decided to elevated the floor. My gosh... it's so messy. soil, bricks, cement, sand, dust, ck ck ck.... He elevated around 50cm from the ground. So, hopefully this time, the office will be free from flood. amen!

wahai kentang... melembutlah....

2009-05-08T17:16:00.004+08:00

ya emang si dodolnya gue ndiri, masa kudu di microwave malah gue steam?? maksa bener. yg ada cheesenya meltnya ga sexy n yummy gitu. malah berair2 ga jelas. dah gitu tuh kentang bloon masi keras ajeee (koq malah salahin kentang ya??) hiks hiks. bete nihhh... ya masi bisa di mamam si, cuman udah ga cantik lagi. kan jadinya gue ga bisa pamer?? =(

tau ga siy, tadi si dodol juga ledek2 masakan gue. dihina hina gue di depan grandma gue... menjatuhkan martabat gue gitu!! (hiperbola dah gue, sebenernya cuman diledek koq) cuman semped bikin gue bete juga. ga tau napa bete, haha. padahal emang bener si masakan gue standard bgt, n uda sering di make fun ini.tapi yg kali ini punya dari yg awalnya pura2 sok ngambek, jadi ngambek beneran deh. "HUH, pokoknya abis ini gue ga mau masakin lo lagi! ga mau masak lagi. lo makan catering aja sono!!! HUH!!" hahahaha......

holiday

2009-05-08T15:48:00.002+08:00

I like travelling a lot. go to a new place, explore a place. even if it's not really a new place, I still love travelling. (esp. since I get bored so easily down here)

and this June, Rudy and I are going to Bali again, yiha!
just like I've mentioned at previous post, this time we're going with lots of my family member from my dad's side. and I mean a LOT. Might be up to 30 people going... see? a lot, right??

After Bali, we plan to make a stop at Batu, Malang for a while, too. Rudy's hometown.

I can't wait for the holidae to come... for the fun, for the sun, and most importantly, for the food!!=D

nasi babi, bu Oka
baby ribs, naughty nuris
bakwan subur
rawon dengkul
tahu campur, pak kumis

and many, many more =)
*excited mode on* Bali, Malang, here we comeee.....
Bali, Bali, Bali....

y: eh? No... they plan to stay at other place.
m: huh?? then?

m: what? what a waste of money??!! It's going to be quite pricy, why not stay with us??

m: OooOOooo... he feels uncomfy because we're paying, is it?? well, let him pays for the room and let us stay with you then...

feeling Blue, Mellow, Yellow

2009-04-27T23:50:00.003+08:00

I miss my friends!=(

Being in Samarinda can be something really challenging. Especially for someone that is so used being in the big city like myself. The things I love being in Samarinda are :

I can hang out with my family. We are so closed to each other. I'm surrounded by my big, fun family 100. There are always so many stories over the weekends and of course if we gather, foods will be provided, too, kekeke.
no heavy traffic jam. going anywhere is still nearby.
I have a HOME here
hmmm, what else?? I think that's about it!! can u imagine????

It's so hard to find anything nice here. yeah another good thing is that I can save up! hehe since there's not much things to buy. Not much place to hang out. there's even no cafe here, they only have coffee shop. the worse, I don't have much friends here :( arrrghhh... The only one person who can connect nicely beside uud is Epinga... She is the only one who can spend time to talk and gossip about almost anything. I can be myself and so does she. But even so, lately we don't really spend time a lot since each of us have our own activity.

So, here I am feeling blue. mellow yellow. I miss my sister. I miss my cousin, ce ponk. I miss Lisa, bertha, rio, Sandra. I even miss my in-laws!! haha, weird. but yes, I really do miss them. I want to spend time having fun with them :( It's not that I dun have a great time with Uud, It's just different with friends, rite??

:( I might really think about somewhere else to live, huh? perhaps Surabaya like Zen recommended? So if we're gonna travel, it's easier for us? hehe. weleh2 be te bener kalau blue gini ye? Zen, nti di Bali hibur daku ya?? kikikiki :D

condolence

2009-04-27T23:32:00.002+08:00

oh ya, forget to show my condolence to 'uncle' Donny. Donny is a dear friend who used to be my sis' housemate back in US. and then now, he works in Samarinda and stay with my parents. A really nice, and great friend.

So sorry to hear that ur dad passed away. be strong, Don. I hope you'll be fine and your father will rest peacefully.

We will never be ready to be departed from someone we love. So, while you have the chance, make sure those you love, know that you love them. Don't ever take them for granted. I'm always wretched to hear 'passed away news' I think, I will never, ever be ready or even able to face it. My gosh....
I love you, all...

Nicole's Update

2009-04-27T22:35:00.002+08:00

Nicole is getting better ~ Thanks God!
Yesterday afternoon, she was better. She became her usual bubbly, happy self. she ate, she sang, she talked, she played, I even managed to wash her hair. Then her fever went high again at night. It was so high that it scared me. She became so quiet and so weak. she just lied on a mattress and closed her eyes. she breathe heavily. hiks. I thought of bringing her to hospital, already (hiperbola juga, hehe) But then, I decided to wait for one more day.

But then, today when I visitted her, she is ok already. she is bubbly. she is happy. she watched tv, she played with me, she even study! kekeke. so happy for her. I think she lost some weight, though. her bootylicious is not that 'spongy' anymore, haha! :p

get better, dear.

Abused princess

2009-04-25T17:46:00.004+08:00

Gini hari makin gile aja ya?? Menyambung post ku ttg "any comments" nih lagi ada berita heboh di infotainment lately.

Sapa lagi kalau bukan Manohara Odelia Pinot. A very young Indonesian model who got married with Kelatan Royalty, Malaysia. Yup, she is married to a prince. She is only 16,5 years old when she got married and now is at a tender age of 17, ck ck ck. Seems to have a glamorous life. Secara dia princess gitu loh! Berangkat kemana mana aje naik jet pribadi! But what happened?? Her mom is not even allowed to see her. The news said that she is being abused by her prince charming. Charming my ass! Poor Manohara. Very young, very beautiful, very charming and have to suffer at her tender age. Mana sekarang kasusnya jadi tambah melebar lagi. Orang Indo ama Malaysians jadi hina2an di beberapa forum blogs. Blom lagi kasusnya yg bener ini sebenernya gimana?? Apa bener si Mano ini disiksa? Ada yg bilang mamanya Mano ini penipu segalalah. Kasian deh. Kalau gue sih, yah, sembarang deh mau nipu apa kaga, tapi mama ga boleh ketemu anaknya kesian aje. Kalau emang ga ada apa2, si Mano ini kaga disiksa, kenapa ga bole ketemu coba?

Yah itu lah ye… masi muda udah merid?? Happy2 dulu, nikmatin masa muda napa?? Emang si mamanya si Mano ini bilang buat respect the royal family. Ga boleh ngomong 'NO' ke raja, itu penghinaan. Ok, dia emang ga dikasih pilihan. Tapi buat mama-mama lain yang ada pilihan, ngapain sih anak lo mau lo kawinin muda2??? Takut ditinggal lari cowonya ya? Kl mpe ini cowo kaga mau nungguin anak lo gedean kan salah dicowonya?? Heran deh? Kalau anak lo ngebet pingin merid cepet2, dinasehatin kek?? Hari gini kawin ceped2?? Emangnya ga mau nuntut ilmu dulu? Cobain kerja? Main2 ama temen? Jalan2 keluar kota kek, ke luar negri kek ama temen2?? Itu seru coi?!! perluas kandidat2 cowomu? hihihi

Weleh weleh…. Kalian heran kali ye? Ngapain juga gue bawel masala orang mo kawin muda? Secara itu kan urusan orang masing2, he he he, iya sih…. Emang gue ga against gimana2 banget koq, cuman kadang heran aja. Suka gemes liatnya… haha. Kasian aja, nti kalau kedepannya cewenya regret kawin muda kan kasian kaum wanita juga, ya ga? =D kaya si Mano ini, awalnya dia seneng. Dia mau merid ama ini prince. Pastinya dia bahagia n flattered lah ya?? Tapi blom setaon dah stress abis dia =( kesian. Nah, gue pingin cewe2 tuh mikir mateng2 aja sebelon merid, ok gals?

Poor Nicole

2009-04-25T15:23:00.003+08:00

Nicole is sick. yupz, poor her, she is having a fever. doctor said "itu gejala tifus".

She vomitted while she was schooling. then the teacher sent her to rest, but when the teacher tried to look for her, she wasnt resting.... guess what she was doing??
she was... eating!! yes, eating! haha... sighhhh... what a good apetite, haha. she said she was hungry after the vomit, lol.

But last night, she lost her apetite, already. she was very quiet. My mom had to spoonfeed her. Ooo, my poor baby girl... (nicole is already like my own baby)
may you get well soon!

Nu' Hair

2009-04-22T21:07:00.003+08:00

Yep, Nicole just cut her hair. My mom was the one who cut it. I think she looks cuter but also rounder, haha!

Si Dudul

2009-04-22T20:49:00.002+08:00

Despite the heavy flooding, Nicole dodol is going to have mathematics test, tomorrow. here she is, studying and relaxing with her uncle dudutz. what a nice way to study! also, she recently learned how to cut her nails. she did it on her own and also help uncle to cut his.

For info, for the past 3 days, there was no electricity at my parents house. can u imagine?? 3 days straight without electricity from morning to night???!!! my gosh! Luckily my parents do have a gen set. So, my grandparents, aunts, uncles and also cousins sleepover at my parents house. ck ck ck....

Habis Gelap Terbitlah Terang...

2009-04-21T19:19:00.003+08:00

It's Kartini's Day. (Kartini is a hero who fought for women's right) Although, everywhere is flooded, I still tried my best to go to school as we celebrated it. (for your info I am a kindergarten teacher :P) The teachers have to wear kebaya today. So here I post some pics of mine wearing my mom's kebaya.
The children dressed so nicely and cute! they had a contest. too bad, I didn't get the chance to take their pictures :(

Well, I am glad we don't have to wear kebaya as daily clothing anymore. It's SO HARD for me to walk, also today I wore heels, and it's killing me... the pain for being pretty, haha!
Thanks to Kartini, women now can have the sime right to have education, to work not only to stay at home, cook, look after children and get wasted.

Selamat Hari Kartini, all

nest

some addition photos of my nest. namanya juga masi rumah baru, masi banyak yg di tambah2i and diutak atik. since budgetnya terbatas, jadilah ngisinya di cicil2.

nah, this is my living room. I bought the sofabed sometimes ago, itended to put it in the games room, but too bulky so we moved it to the living room. harga bagus,bahan empuk tapi kainnya ga enak, panas. ntar mau ku ganti ah. I got the carpet in Mangga Dua, Jakarta. murah bgt. biasanya karpet gede gini bisa sampe 1 or 2 jutaan. but, I had it for Rp. 850.000,- murah ya??? :)

ini juga masi in the living room. biasanya kalau ranjang udah dibersihin, aku nonton tv disini deh. foto2 diatas dijepret dede pas prewed. trus tv samsung series 4, 32" nya bonus dari kerjaan uud, mayannnnnnnnn........ he he he.

last but not least, this is my super comfy bed, where I spend most of my times at, kekekeke.
yah kamarnya udah ada lah dari awal, cuman blom semped kefoto-foto aja. nah di kesempatan ini cailah sekalian aku mau thanks Ivana yang udah kasi aku duvet cover ama pillow and bolster cover buat wedding giftku. sizenya tepat, warnanya gue suka, bahannya enak bgt. lembut n dingin. berguna bgt! jadinya gue hemat bener deh :) cuman tinggal nambahin bedsheet yg matching, voila!
