Hello December!

My fav month is in action, everyone! Oh, I loveeee December so much. The weather, the feel, the ambience of Christmas time is all around. The song, the light, and all decoration are completed its touch. Lucky the music in my work place also change to Christmas songs for the whole December :) at least I can feel Christmas is near and is coming.

It's gona be a new unique experience in my life. Happiness and sadness altogether will accompany me in this December.
Let's start from the sad part.
1. I can't take any of my leave for the whole December! company's rule. *sigh* so I can't go back home to Jkt and will celebrate Christmas alone in Singapore without my family around T_T
2. I still don't get any decision yet whether or not I'll have my off day on the 25th so that I can go to church. hope & pray. *crossing fingers*
3. I'll miss my mom's special Christmas food and decoration as well :'(
4. I HAVE TO work in this holiday season and it's gona be busy like hell..........
5. It's just...weird...I'm not used to it, yet.

And the happy part is, soon, I will experience myself, a new way of celebrating Christmas, and it will definitely leave such a great mark in my living journey. Just try to enjoy it! :D

God bless everyone and happy Holidazzle (dec theme of my workplace).

Miraculous Quotes

A good-old-friend of mine suddenly sent me a message, just to show his care, to cheer me up, and to give the strength of what happened in my life.. A simple message which gives an extraordinary positive feeling when everyone seems to judge me of what I've been doing.

"There is no oil, if olives are not squeezed...
No wine, if grapes are not pressed...
No perfume, if flowers are not crushed...

If you felt any pressure in life today?
Don't worry..
God is just bringing you out the best in you!."

another amazing quotes for tonight,

"We are like teabags,
whose true strength comes out when we're put in hot water.

So, when problems upset you..
Just think, you must be God's favorite cup of Tea!."

AMEN!!
Reading these quotes gives me a peacefull heart without being judged of each of its words.
Thank you, K., for giving me such a nice quotes.
Thank you, Lord, for such a great life. Lucky I have you.

I do hope this post can bring peacefullness for those who read. :)

Sense of Idul Fitri 1930H

For those who celebrate Hari Raya, I want to say Minal Aidin Walfa Idzin, mohon maaf lahir dan batin.

I'm eating ketupat and families rite now at my landlord house somewhere in Singapore. hm..nyummy... it reminds me of Indonesia. Though I'm not celebrating it, my mom usually cooks its dishes every year. Just to participate a bit and enjoy the meals, me n fam all like it. It's really tasty!! spicy, salty, all mixed together!! too bad i'm not at home this time, but quite happy to eat ketupat since I always (have to) eat Singapore food (Orcahrd Rd's esp) everyday for 5 months. At last, I eat Indo's taste^^

Still in the mode of short sexy stylish BOB

Holaaa..I just got back home from today's activities: go to church, since today is Sunday and is my off day, and do my hair cut! happy.happy.happy..

This is the 1st time I miss going to church. I never felt that before, maybe because I never be in the situation. But then, my job requires me to work in an unfixed off day. I only get once a month for an off-day on the weekend. Today I feel like I found my family back :) because i know some of them, they're also from GKY-GV, Jakarta. They ask me to participate in church activities, esp for Christmas. I feel so sad. I want to join them, i used to participate in church since i was a kid. But then, my job is the only reason!!.. *sigh*

Moving on, I was a bit in rush from Bugis to Orchard, to catch my appointment at 5 p.m. I feel so excited to cut my hair. It's Kimrobinson!! and it's the salon director, Michael.. I can't wait for the surprise he'll give to me through his cutting on my hair. hm...wondering. hoping. praying.
1 and a half hours later...
It's FABULOUS!!! Still in the bob theme, the style i like the most which suits me best (my face, my style, and my personality). Simple, fresh, short, volume, sexy...hmm? hahaha like it. like it. like it. The best hair cut ever in the last 23 years. Have to be admitted, money talks in this skill of hair world. He cuts my hair using razor. At first I doubt his skill cos I had bad experience with razor. I once asked him, "is it ok u cut my hair using razor cos I had bad experience of it?" he just smile back to me and answer, "yes, for some styles using razor gives the best look. In your case, maybe the person didn't know well how to use razor." Then, I just kept quiet, smile and tried to believe him. Surprised!!! Money talks. that's all I can say. That's the only reason why i always spend more when it comes to my haircut ;')

I fall in love with Kimrobinson. the classy ambience salon, the way they treat me like a princess, the privacy I get...ohh..it's so lovely :) and the best part is the result of my hairstyle :D
I wish Michael reduce his price point, it's quite pricey though..., or even better, my company gives me more for the hair voucher every month! HAHA.. I loveeeee my new hair style!!!..

Thankfulness

Nothing I could say but Thank You, Lord.. I got my confirmation letter already. =) God is good to me..

Time flies. 7 months ago, I did the 1st interview for this job. 1 month later, she called & congratulated me after I did the 2nd interview in the morning. 2 months later, I signed the agreement letter with the company. The next month, April 13, 2008, she called & informed my departure would be on morning time the day after tomorrow. I was in a hurry-mode packing my things within 1 full day. Blur. Couldn't believe it!! It truly happened. I would start a new life by myself in God's hand!..

After working for 4 months, that letter finally come. pheww..thanks God..my appraisal said positive things :') I feel releived n happy n excited!!
Releived - I pass my probation time..
Happy - happy feeling!! err...no need to explain, everyone knows.
Excited - about all benefits I can get!!.. HaHa psssttt....just a 'lil bit info for u, I'll get my hair voucher every month $$ at Kimrobinson salon, LV shoes uniform and shoes i buy myself (which i can claim up to hundreds $$$ :p) every year, participate in all kinds of staff sales, and last but not least, here n there discount...and still many more about my company benefits, SOON....woohoooww...what a life ;P

That's the best of working in such a big retail company. And I'm so in love with it!!.. :D

Love this time..

Moment like this makes me feel very happy =) at the same time killing me softly. miss him so bad :'(

Cutie.Newbie.Topsie

Last Saturday after B shift work (ends at 7.15 p.m), I had no appointment with anybody. I just want to have quality time with myself..this time goes to..SHOPPING!! yay...hihihi I chose to browse at Ion which I haven't browse enough since the opening at 20th July.

Zara is a must-shop to visit! And this is the right time for me, because I found so many cute tops which was hard to decide which one should I buy. It made me 3x to go to the fitting room!! hahaha lucky there was no queue! It took more than 1 hour to browse all clothes. And at the end,, I decided to buy all those I like the most. They're so cute and I love it^^
Before I went home, I dropped by to Pull n Bear. Roughly, the collections are similar to Zara's but less expensive. They are also very cutee...but I stopped myself to buy and grab 'em..enough shopping!! Only 1 top that 'click' to my heart...and couldn't resist that so I bought it :D hehehe
When you shop, you have to have that 'click' feeling with the item..It's a sign that it is yours!! hahaha happy quality time shopping I had.. enough for few months stocks of clothes, I hope so......... ;P

enjoy ;D

One Fine Day

Today should be my off day after 3 days working & C shift yesterday. Sadly, I still have to come to the store in the morning for monthly general meeting with big boss of LV Singapore, JC. A bit about my boss, he is French, 1st time working in SG, and he is the humblest, friendliest, the most down-to-earth boss I've ever met. Not "jaim" bossy type of person, e.g. smoking in front of his staffs when he walks in Orchard Rd, but keep smiling to us when he's passing by, with all his wrinkles in his face everytime he smiles, which I like the most ;D and..he always greet us with the word "halo" while at the same time, smiling :')...When he started the meeting this morning, the 1st word is "halo" with his smiling wrinkles face ;P

okay, I don't want to talk about the meeting I had, it's more to my story after the meeting.

Today's agenda:
1. Attend the general monthly meeting
2. Go to the bank to open my 2nd account (strictly for saving!!)
3. Go to salon to cut my hair
4. Go back home, wash my clothes, and sleep...

I had lunch before I went to the bank @ Ayam Penyet Ria, Lucky Plaza with friends. It's Indonesian resto n it's yummy...esp their balacan sambal!! hot&spicy!!!...
Then, my friends back to work n I went to the bank. I didn't completed 1 out of 3 requisites of opening an acc, which is I didn't bring along my passport. I thought my S-Pass can cover all...but...*sigh*...too bad!! :'(

I moved on with my 3rd plan, going to my friend's reccomendation salon, Essentuals. It's located at 1 of the newest shopping centers in Orchard Rd. Otw there, I came by to Apple store just to look around my next target: iPhone 3Gs and, or, maybe mac book pro ;P. Back to track, my friend reccomends me to cut my hair with the boss as well as the owner, or his assistance, but both of them were not available because I hadn't make any appointment before. (p.s: I also don't want to spend too much money to cut my hair for this time. I'll wait for my confirmation letter n get my hair voucher @ Kimrobinson ;P) So, I ended with Marcus, the senior stylist. I asked for something simple, tidy, n easy. (just save the best for the last *crossing fingers*). And...TADAAA...I like it! ;D it's more to bob layers. Fresh. Short. Simple. It is so me :DD but still, i prefer Indo's hair stylist. what you think?

Around 1 p.m I went back home after beat my shopping temptation to go back to Lucky Plaza where I saw Bossini is on sale 50% off!! pheww..lucky I can manage it. I stick to my plan, go back home and do the cleaning. =)

So, Today's results:
1. DONE
2. Pending
3. DONE
4. DONE except sleeping...not enough time to sleep!! already 7 p.m now n want to cook my dinner, then sleep like a pig HA..HA..

Auld Lang Syne

Still awake in this time. I try to close my eyes but still it doesn't work! (feels so lucky tomorrow is my 2nd off days). Never think this'll happen like a blast. Like a bomb that blows eventually.

Just try to understand and follow my heart. Life is gambling and love is unfair..But then it all completes a whole great story of your life.

Now it's time to move on because life must go on.. I have to believe in myself who still have 2 feet to stand on and continue to write another chapter of my life.


With all my heart...

Backstage

I'm so excited...today I experienced myself of what I imagined when I read shopaholic series! why why why?? because Louis Vuitton @ Ion mall Singapore is opening soon! It looks like when Becky wants to re-opening her store in London (Shopaholic & Baby) :P

Today is the first time for all ion-staffs-to-be to come to the store, explore it, and prepare everything! It looks like what is on the novel. Everyone is busy here and there preparing many many things for the opening on July 2nd.
As for me, now I'm in accesories team so I prepare anything related to it. Textiles, sunglasses, belts, ties, and fancy jewelry. The store is big that i could get lost maybe hahaha..

A bit description of the store, this is the biggest one in South East Asia, the first 2 storey level of LV store in Singapore, and it's actually a new concept of LV store. They are creating a warm 'home' ambience as well as a comfy luxurious place to shop as you entering the store.

Level 1 is separated into 2 areas, man's universe and ladies'. There's also a new design for LV store which is a bar, a 'bag' bar for both area. A main long bar in the center spot of ladies area consists of Monogram products (the one with LV flower), one of LV icon which is designed by Louis Vuitton's son, Georges Vuitton, in memoriam of his father. Ladies area also has damier (the checkers one), SLG (small leather goods), and accesories counter. For those who don't know the origin of LV, Damier is the 1st LV product line and the only pattern which is designed by Louis Vuitton himself in 1888. While in man's universe besides the bag bar there's also watches and sunglasses.

Level 2 is meant to be for high-end. Consists of RTW (ready-to-wear), shoes both for men and women, yet some high-end bags in Suhali, Mahina, and Multi colore range. We have watches as well. Last but not least, there're few comfy sofas for customer who are waiting for their loved ones, friends, scandal partner (oops..) to shop.

Never have this kind of such experience before. It gives another story of my life. Can't wait for the opening party next Thursday ;)

In Memoriam

I remember this day 13 years ago.
God asked my beloved Papa to come to see Him. I was 10 years old. It was really unpredictable. He had a heart-attack when I was sleeping. My mom shocked the most. I was so sad...though I was a kid, I could feel the feeling of lost.

Since then, I have to start standing on my own, protect myself, and also protect my mom. I think my elder sisters also did the same. They were also protecting me as their youngest sister, I could feel it.
It made me grew-up as a tough and mature girl rather than my friends in the same age.

So many moments, problems that I passed without my dad around. Happiness and sadness. Sometimes I asked God why He took my dad when I needed most? But I believe that He is preparing something best for my life and He won't give any difficulties which is beyond your ability! and for sure, it makes me as a 'today's me' :)) whom I'm proud of.

Now I've finished my study and I'm in the working world. "Your little daughter is transformed to an independent woman." =)
I wish I've already made my mom and dad proud of me and I can make him smiling from above.. I love u, mama. I love u, papa. Always have always will..

Day Off...

Recently, the happiest time in my life is having a day off or, if possible, 2 days off in a row...woohoohooow! Sometimes I go out with my friends exploring Singapore, or stay at home take a rest. Just like today, i'm enjoying my day off alone at home. I always enjoy staying at home alone. why?? because I don't have to talk to anyone. I just do all my things I wana do by myself :')) My job requires me to talk as much as I can everytime dealing with customer. Since I'm an introvert person, I re-charge my energy on my day off, alone.

So, today I woke up at 10a.m after having a beauty-10-hours-sleep last nite! I think this is the 1st time in sg I sleep that much!! oh..I loveee sleeping...lazy me!! haha
and, I'm ready to start my day. As usual, I have a time to read my bible n daily bread before I start or end my day. And today's plan: washing clothes, cooking, watching silet (indo's infotainment :P), sweeping n mopping my room, n waiting bf to call me, that's it!! so the rest is my free lazy day...yiiipppiiieeee...

For the cooking part, I manage to cook tomato n carrot chicken soup. Cooking is my new hobby since I have to find meal by myself. Yet, it's healthy. When it's finished and the taste is good, ehmm...at least for me it's more than eatable meal^^, I feel satisfied!! I loveeee eating good food...It gives me pleasures..hahaha U guys don't know how it feels!! Back then in Jkt, I cooked when I wanted to..it's rarely happen!! My bf often asked me to cook but I was too lazy to do it maybe because there'll always be my mom who'll cook for us or maybe because I could only cook rice, egg, instant noodle, fried rice, and spaghetti (my & his fav)!! Now, I'm trying to cook variety food. Start from the simplest: soup world!! :D

Now I'm done all today's plan n already shower, I still have few hours alone n I'm going to do my meni pedi, write my diary, n read my novel...what a day.. 8)

Dream Job do Come True...

2.15 p.m. GMT +8.
I'm lying on my bed..resting for a while after going back from MOM to do the tap screen and doing some house work. Very tiring days since I came here last week...lack of time, lack of sleep, lack of enough rest..all days busy! phew...

Okay, I'm telling you now, I work at one of the top world retails company based on Singapore as a sales associate^^ yay!!! That's my dream job to work on a fashion world. Since it is the top brand, the benefits they give to the employee is AWESOME! haha.. you'll be so surprised to hear those! hehehe I used to say will not having a single item from that brand because it's kind of everyone's dream brand, and I don't like it! it's everywhere. and the worst, the fake ones are easy to find! You can see on Mangga Dua Jakarta, there're like sands and very cheap!! that's y I wasn't even dreaming to buy one.
but now, I work here..and I'm in love with it!! esp after last training, I've seen and understood all their materials, how to create a single item, felt the real one, etc. and the most important one, the staff benefit :P

Yesterday I finished my 3 days inductive training..excellent training ever! very attractive, knowledgeable, and professional. Can't explain by words..I wish I can remember and will apply it all on the store.

and, Voila...tomorrow I'll start working, on a job training at the store. Wow...I'm very nervous but real excited :D
I'll read all the catalogue and the guidelines as well..
wish me luck!

1st Sin Weekend

Hi hi..this is my 1st blog I write in SG, 1st mobile phone blog, and 1st weekend, too!! ;D
I'll update my weekend here. It's a bit different from my usual. I woke up in the morning @ 9.30 a.m. I made my bed, clean up my room (just rapi2 n nyapu), had my cereal & milk, and I did cooking with my roomate. Today we cooked baby kailan cah, and fried egg. It's too salty hahaha...Time flies really fast, it's already 1 p.m. and I had a plan meeting up with my friend, actually he's my bf's bff, @ 2.30 at Plaza Singapura. So, I was in a rush.

The weather is so d*mn hot! can't imagine...it's worse than Jkt. Luckily SG transportation is better than Jkt..hmm...cool..! It took only 45min more or less to get to the city from my place, Bedok.

My friend had already waited for us @ the mrt station. We had lunch @ MOS burger, it's all on him..! he didn't want us to pay. and he said, after 6 months he'll ask us to treat him at Tony Roma's and Sushi Tei hahaha then we just look around the mall, looking for our shoes 4 work but didn't find one. He accompanied us patiently and he really helped us in everything. Thanks to you, bun!
Then we moved to Esplanade to meet up with my highschool friend for dinner. While we're waiting 4 her, we took lots pictures outside durian building. Its roof is like durian so it's called durian building.

After a while, I met my friend, she still has the same look since highschool. So happy to meet her^^. She was my desk-mate at last grade. We had dinner at Taman Sutra, the one like outside foodcourt, very crowded! We chit chat a lot then we went home @ 9 after taking some photos, of course ;P My friend and her bf brought us back home..we thank u Rika n Edward!
We had some fun on this weekend! should do it next time...

Phewww...so tired..I haven't get along yet with SG habit, walk..walk..walk..A LOT!!! hahaha

Shoes Collection

Phew...finally I finished packing for tomorrow's leaving and I'm not sleepy but sooo tired! But I still have time for re-arranging my shoes. Put them out from the box for 1 or 2 days, let them breath of the room temperature, then put them back to each box. That's how I take care of my shoes! Fyi, I really love shoes..It completes my appearance and it really fashionable, besides your bags of course :P
Here is all my shoes. Yeps, some of them are still nice-to-wear, but some of them are not hahaha. Again, since there's limitation of my baggage, I can't bring them all..So I have to do this way to maintain their beauty..!!! I just bring few of them for very strict usage. Maybe I should buy new ones there ^.^ just for makes me happy..

Heart Attack!

For less than 2x24 hours I'll leave Jakarta and move to Singapore. I got a bit 'heart attack' when I read the message tonite in the middle of my family chit-chatting after having dinner.
OMG OMG..I haven't packed yet..and still don't believe it. I'll leave all my precious SOON! It's too soon!! My beloved family, caring bf, soul-mate gossipers girls, some of my lovely shoes collection, my books, my nail polishes, and all my things which i can't carry now..feel like I wana bring them all but there's a limitation of the baggage..why must have?!!! hate it!!... :P

I definitely will miss you all, Jakarta..oh, wana cry..and cry...and cry...but back to smile again..and again...and again...that's me :D Take care you when I'm not around.

Fyi, I will live without internet connection for a while, so readers..I'll update this blog as soon as possible.. Cya!!

Heartwarming Quality Time

I was laying enjoying my day and time, laughing and joking as usual, talking and chit chatting about my going job abroad soon, with bf.
Suddenly, he cried in the middle of our laughter..T_T..
I was sooo touched. He never cry like this before. And, I cried on his warm hug and kept silent...

This is the first time we both cry not because of the fighting!
I'm going to miss him..(^_^)

Pampering Myself

Today I just relaxing my free lazy day @ home after having some busy days. So I manage to pamper myself and I choose facial! Almost 3 months I didn't do facial so it's the time! =)

This idea comes from yesterday SQCI training as part of my job, it's about grooming. We girls have to do many rituals to get our best look. agree girls out there? yessss...!!! They explained us how we should maintained our body from top to toe. It's really interesting...I like the girly stuffs but I don't know about it in details before. So I like the training as well, it really useful for my body treatment to get the fresh look on my retired aged. So I can still look young and pretty when I am 50! hahahaha We call it as an investment ;P

About my facial, today I choose only standard facial, no chemical peeling and so on. I just want to get the relaxation when they purify, massage, and mask my face. It feels like heaven..oh-la-la..!!! I usually slept in the middle of my facial, but since lately I've been busy and tired, today is worse than usual..I can sleep in the middle of the beautician massage my face or even worse, when she's dealing with my pore I can go to sleep :P don't ask me when the mask time...I'm on my dream world..zzz...hahah
oh...I feel so fresh and relax after doing facial! You guys should try it.

For the place, I always go to Natasha skin care. I like the treatment and (I take it as a bonus) the price is rather not too expensive than the other skin care including their cream. I like the place also. Mine is in Bintaro. It's a new big modern building with a clean environment. In my opinion, they should improve their system, it's too long, and their front-liner, too! some of them are very jutek..that's not a good front-liner! I'm going to work as a front-liner, too, and I was trained about the service quality, so I know a lil bit.

Anyway, from now on I commit myself to fully take care of my body treatment from top to toe though it's ribet and not an easy commitment. But it's my investment for living, rite? and I'm going to enjoy it..definitely! :))

A 'lil Surprised just to Make Me Happy on My 23rd

This post should be made last week (straight after my b'day), but I've been busy for the last 2 weeks so I made it today. My birthday is on Sunday, March 22 and I did have a wonderful b'day! Yessss...I spent my day with my beloved ones..Okay, now I'm 23-year-old..yay!! I am proud and happy of being 23 :) I have got my Bachelor degree and also have signed the work contract (though i haven't started working yet but still, categorized as their employee :P). That's enough to make myself complete for now on.

A 'lil surprised from my bf opening my bday. He asked me out to have a b'day brunch without mentioning the place, he said it was a secret. It was so odd. We usually had our b'day celebration on dinner..So I just dressed-up and enjoyed it! fyi, Wilma really loves surprises..^.^

Otw to the secret place, he asked me to not open my eyes. It's so funny and I didn't want to ruin his plan so I kept closing my eyes..On my duty, I felt what the blind men feel. It's so hard to be one of them, you only rely on your feeling. Sometimes it made me a lil headache when it turned to u-turn, turn-left, turn-right, etc..I often asked him would we arrive soon? He answered, almost there..I got wrong way! LOL

Later, he said okay it's the time, open your eyes!
It's Shangri-La Hotel!!! and I directly knew the place..YAY!!! I've been lusting to try this Shangri-La Italian restaurant, Rosso, but haven't found the right time and the money hahahaha. I did browsing and found this rest and they give positive response. I want to eat there! I love Italian food and I really love good food by the way =P I'm in good mood when eating good food :DD we ate like a cow since it is all-u-can-eat high class version hahahaha.

I was sooo happy and sooo surprised he asked me out there on my b'day. I was quite shocked of his surprise and did like udik people go to fancy restaurant =D It's the first time he has a secret place to eat. He always has tons of surprises for me but this way is the newest! He is so romantic :)) luv y..muachmuach..

Rosso Rocks! that represents my feeling..Love the foods, love the ambiance, love the place, love the services, love Rosso!!!...It's really worth!! Go there anytime you feel like dressing up and eating the cosmopolitan way^-^

Confession of a Shopaholic Movie

It's kinda late to review this my fav movie type i watched last 2 weekend, but I'm eager to write about it since it's one of my fav novel.

I was very excited to see this movie. I expected to see it as I imagined when I read the novel. You know, it's based on Sophie Kinsella's novel. I am a big fan of it and still reading the 4th novel now. But I had read the movie story before the film released and quite disappointed seeing that this movie is a compilation between the 1st n 2nd novels. hm..still wondering though!

Ok, I a bit disappointed because there's too many story changed and cut! For example, they change the setting. It should be in London and NY instead of only NY. But I'm still in love with it heheheh even though many people said this movie isn't suitable to be released nowaday, when the world is in economic crisis, for me, I take it as an entertainment in the middle of our crisis. I can live for a while in my dream-world of shopping hahaha The story is very funny, relaxing my mind which full of designer labels...dreaming...dreaming...dreaming.... :P

At first I thought the actress does not suit well to the character, but I'm wrong. I really like Isla Fisher as Rebecca Bloomwood. She is cute, fabulous fashionista, and really fit the character even though her British accent is not really heard. From many aspects, she can be a true Becky Bloomwood in the novel with all her silliness in order to do her biggest problem: SHOPPING..!!

Kinsella's ROCK!!!...

a blessed phase of life, byebye jobless group ;')

hi hi hellooow..finally, yesterday i have signed a contract with a company based on Spore (no need to mention the name of the company, tho) ;) It means, bye bye jobless group! hehehe

Everything is beautiful in His time^^ yeps, agree with that!! I'll tell you the story. As I wrote in my blog before, I failed for being a SIA stewardess. This was really hurt me. I asked God, "why?" and didn't understand, but now I know the answer, it's GREAT!!! back, a month later (Dec 2008), the same SIA agency called me n offered me another more interesting job, based on Spore, too. So I came for an interview n I passed. Then another day, I continued with another user interview from both Spore and Indo company branches, n I passed again..thank GOd, only 2 persons instead of 10 from the final interview, accepted. I did all the requirements n patiently waiting for further information which came soooo loooonnggg! They once informed me in Jan '09 that I will start working in Spore on May 1, 2009. So, before that, I have to do several training in town, 2 months for company training in Jakarta's stores, 1 month in SQCentre Indonesia's.

I was quite impatient when entering this March n still no news from them, but I still praying hard n trying to wait patiently. THADAAA..my patience brings me luck. Last Tue, she called me n invited me to come n sign the contract, also cancel the indo training part (will straightly have Spore training) :D got it!!

God is really good to me. I do believe He'll give the best for me in His time, and He does! (seeing 2 of my friends in pre-SIA stewardess in the same batch with me, they got the hold on position recently because of the economic recession, after waiting almost 3 months without notification at all). Also, considering I have already submitted my resignation of my part-time teaching job at the end of this March term before I got this job. Firstly, I thought I will be jobless for some time, u know, it's hard to get a job recently due to the global crisis, but fortunately, NO.

Now, the feeling part. I am in complicated feeling: very happy and real excited =)) yet a bit sad and really scareddd :'((... why?
- happy & excited part:
1. I get a job...YAYYY!!! no more jobless group hihi (accomplished my 2009 wishes lists no. 1)
2. I get one of my dream job, in a world-class fashion retail :P (can be classified to wishes lists no.1)
3. It's a job abroad, in Singapore..hey! meaning, I'll livee abroaaadddd soon...hihihi =S (accomplished my wishes lists no. 7)
4. I reach my expected salary as in Rp but not yet in SGD (accomplished my wishes lists no. 2)..even much much better than my Rupiah's target income hahaha but don't count it..start to think in SGD, Singapore is in the list of top ten most expensive countries in the world :'(
5. I will have a new different phase-life lots of new experiences, good and bad!..

- sad & scared part:
1. I only have time in Jkt for about 1 month from now. times flies!
2. I have to live alone, without my beloved family, bf, n friends :'(( (i never live separately from my fam, esp my mom before).
3. I am not a very health person, so scared if i'm sick n not having my mom besides me :(
4. I'm afraid something bad happen to my beloved in Indonesia or even to me there..*sigh* God will take care of us, tho!
5. I have to face all the culture-shock, adapt to a new situation, new friends, daily life n working life, ALL BY MYSELF..!!!
6. last but not least, i can't cook! heheehe (bisa2 bankrupt klo mkn diluar terus.. ;pp)

This moment strengthen my faith and just be patient. God isn't finished with me yet!. Trials can make life seem not worth living. Focusing on ourselves can lead to despair. But putting our trust in God gives us entirely different perspective. As long as we live in this world, we can be certain that our all-sufficient God will sustain us.

Yeah..that's my newest story,,it's enough for this time..now I'm going to prepare myself to teach my students. Thatha everyone...

especially towards those we love the best.

Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes.

What is it else?
A madness most discreet,
a choking gall and a preserving sweet.

Children Learn What They Live

If you want to make a better world, please educate your children with good values.
It's more than money and toys to make them feel loved.
Use your heart, eyes, and hands to touch their life.
It's more than theories and words to shape them to be men of integrity.
Remember this: your children are your own reflection.


Children Learn What They Live

If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn.
If children live with hostility, they learn to fight.
If children live with fear, they learn to be apprehensive.
If children live with pity, they learn to feel sorry for themselves.
If children live with ridicule, they learn to feel shy.
If children live with jealousy, they learn to feel envy.
If children live with shame, they learn to feel guilty.
If children live with encouragement, they learn confidence.
If children live with tolerance, they learn patience.
If children live with praise, they learn appreciation.
If children live with acceptance, they learn to love.
If children live with approval, they learn to like themselves.
If children live with recognition, they learn it is good to have a goal.
If children live with sharing, they learn generosity.
If children live with honesty, they learn truthfulness.
If children live with fairness, they learn justice.
If children live with kindness and consideration, they learn respect.
If children live with security, they learn to have faith in themselves and in those around them.
If children live with friendliness, they learn the world is a nice place in which to live.

I've heard this poetry long time ago when i was in junior high, and i recently found it on my friend's note which inspires me to write it here. Still remember and love it, too. This is a very good poetry for all parents-to-be. It is oh-so-true and yet so touching..^^

Cupcakes a.l.a Wilma :')

One fine morning on Saturday, i decided to make something hand-made for this year valentine's gift..esp for my bf, for sure!!! Actually we don't specially celebrate val's day because there's nothing special on that day. For me, birthdays and anniversary are much better than valentine's. But this idea just comes straight in my mind, i just want to make something hand-made for him and fortuitous, it's valentine! I know he likes my-hand-made gift better than buying-stuff gift. So, I chose making cupcakes..since it is today's trend and i haven't tried to make it. Unfortunately, i'm not good yet in terms of recipe, but thank God, my super-best mom has this great recipe. As you know, my mom is very good in culinary world. So i asked her help in doing my project hihihi..

My mom just helped me in making the dough till it was baked on the oven, after that she had to go somewhere..so i had to do this all by myself. Can be said, this is my first time doing it all alone. I have to check several times to make sure the cake is already done. To put it off from the cake tin. To pour the rum into the cake (it's just only on my estimation). To cut out the cupcakes. And the last one to decorate each cupcakes :') interesting!!!

First of all, preheat the oven to 180 C. Back to the dough, beat together the butter and sugar until it's pale. Then add the eggs one at a time, beating in well after each addition, then gradually pour the mixture of flour and cocoa, beat it till the dough comes together. Finally, put the dough into the cake tin and baked it in the oven.


After the cake is done baked, let the tin sits on a cooling rack for 5-10 minutes and then turn them out from the tin, and started to cut out the cakes using the special cut out tools (mine are heart and curly circle).

Break up the chocolate into small pieces and melted it by swirling it around to cover in the hot liquid. Pour the melted chocolate to the top of each cupcakes. You can fill it full, or just fill it abstract, like spider web. You choose!!

Now it's time to decorate each cupcakes....It's up to your creativity and imagination in this part. You can use everything as the decoration as long as it can be eaten. You can find it many in a bakery shop. This time, i don't have time to go to the bakery shop so i just use ordinary snacks: Cha Cha milk chocolate, Yupi candy, and nyam nyam's crunchy. Decor it as you wish^^

and...Voila..!!! Cupcakes a.l.a Wilma..
This one is for my bf.

and this one is for my mom who makes the dough..it's yummy tummy :D thanks, mom^^

Movie Review: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a movie inspired from a short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald, a famous American novelist who wrote about classic literature. I have a little knowledge about classic literature since i chose sub-major literature for my final paper at uni. But i've just only read one of his masterpieces, The Great Gatsby.

Back to the movie, it goes straight as one of the best movies in mine. It's about the life of Benjamin Button who is aging backwards. He was born as an old-grandfather look alike and dead in a proportion of a baby. Told from the second point of view, i guess, the movie is told in a flash-back style which is quite interesting. When i watched this, i had a feeling as if i was reading a novel. Maybe it's because the plot goes smoothly and they describe it with details so that it makes the duration of the movie reaches almost 3 hours.

Some people said it is a boring, awful movie, just talking no action. But in my case, i have a different point of view. A movie is not just a story. There's also a meaning behind it. I enjoy every single stories in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and their conversation as well.
This meaningful movie brings me to one of my life's greatest lessons. Life is just about a time. It's full of choices! and the choice is yours..it's all depends on how you create your life by using any given opportunities. You just have to be careful when it's time to choose an option because your life opportunity never comes twice. And you should know how to handle the easiness and difficulties in every choices you choose, because the life opportunity can come both in time of happiness and sadness. You'll never know it!! Don't just stay in your comfort zone. Sometimes you should choose a little more challenging option. You'll never know what's inside the box if you'll never open it. Whatever goals you have in life, don't think you can't reach it! So live your life to the fullest!!...Don't be too afraid to step back once to get 10 more better steps ahead. Once, a Chinese says, "A journey of a thousand miles, begins with a single step." -Confusion-


"Your life is defined by its opportunities... even the ones you miss." -Benjamin Button-

"For what it's worth: it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again." -Benjamin Button-


Goodnight Benjamin. Goodnight Daisy.

En Dining

En Japanese Dining Bar is now open at Crystal Lagoon, Senayan City, LG floor.
i haven't tried this one before at EX, guess why?? yes..bcos the place is so classy-expensive looks like and it relates to the 'wallet thing' hahahha. Because of the new opening restaurant, they give 50% promo discount ended last week...yippieee...so last weekend me & bf decided to have our dinner there...it's a rare opportunity!!

Photos taken from lobby stairs & EN's Main entrance

The place is located at the special design of Senci, the circle-glass building at the main lobby, the best spot in Senayan City, i guess. At first, I think they build that additional building for just an art reason hehehe, but actually they don't. En's main entrance is from Crystal Lagoon, LG floor. It has two-floor. 1st floor is just like ordinary Japanese restaurant, tables, vip room, and tatami, while the 2nd floor is the Japanese bar. The place is comfy but the chair is not quite comfy enough (some of them are backless chairs). My seat is rather private than public. They are quite large space between one another, so it's a perfect seat for me! no crowded noisy people around us hehehe

The service is excellent. The waiter is easily to find and they are always ready to serve their best to the customer. One waiter poured the sauce to my bowl when he brought our sushi order, it was my 1st experience like tat, i duno if other fancy restaurant served like that hehehe...oh, and they always re-fill my ocha before i asked them to..!! ha.ha.

For the food, this time we start with our fav Jap appetizer, Chawanmusi. It is steamed egg custard with mixed of chicken, shrimp, mushroom, and don't know exactly the others. It is YUMMYYYY...this one comes to my number 1 list, beat one in Sumire.

Chawanmusi (22k)

I continue with the sushi, since i'm not a fan of raw food, i ordered California Rolls and Tiger Rolls..both of them are TASTYYYYY....it's so fresh..the rice, and all the topping is really fresh and crispy when u bite 'em...i like both!! This is like in Rakuzen's, maybe better...

California Rolls (56k) Tiger Rolls (78k)

I also wana try the ordinary Jap food, Chicken Katsu, again...it's DELICIOUS.. even if it's just ordinary chicken katsu but they cook it in their own way. crispy yet tasty!!!!!!!! plus the LIP-SMACKING sauce, it's just like liquor-sauce and there's sesame on the top. i'm not good at explaining the ingredients tho hahahha..I'm starving at that time so i also ordered this expensive Gohan (it costs 12k) in completing my Chicken Katsu.Katsu Chicken (58k)

My bf's choice for the main course is Crab Chahan. It is Japanese fried rice covered with crab soup and soft shell crab on top. I guess it is 'kepiting soka'. It is DAMN GOOD....and quite big portion..!!Crab Chahan (85k)

We chose macha ice cream for dessert. This green tea ice cream is average, not as special as the food i ordered. It's better Cream&Fudge's n Haagen Daaz's.

Macha Ice Cream (18k)

We were very very full..these sluruppp yummy food are really worth! aside from the price, it's a bit overprice, but hey..it's 50% disc hahahaaa...We're fully satisfied when paying off the bill..
En Dining is surely one of the best Japanese restaurants in Jakarta.

High school reunion 2009

After 4 and a half years we graduated from SMUK-4, two of our friends (we call them, the EOs: BJ n AHA) suddenly invited me via FB to join the small reunion. Wow...i was so excited yet had a little doubt of it..!!! it will be our 1st reunion...meeting my old high school friends...will it be fun? or will it be boring? cos i almost lost contact with them all. but i always like hanging out n gathering with friends, well, no further explanation, i just love it!! so i decided to come tat Sunday evening at Glass House, Pluit.

1st high school habit: they were late for almost 1 hour!!! even the EOs still not there hahaha.
The invitation is at 6.30 p.m. when i arrived there at 6.35 p.m, there are only 2 persons, my friend, n his gf. Actually for me it's out of my mind, ur gf/bf join the school reunion..come on...it's reunion, the time u re-meeting and sharing ur story with ur old school friends (no offense to those who brought their partners yesterday..). i also came with my bf, in my case, we knew each other in high school, started our relationship on the 1st grade and we're still be together, so this is also our reunion, our friends, from the same batch, the same high school.. =)

2nd high school habit: gossipping and narcissism!!!

As we met each other, we started talking, laughing, and taking pictures...a lot!!! it's so much fun hahahha :D we're kind of sharing stories n etc..Reunion is also the best time to meet up with the x-ers :P yeps, n this topic can be caused a hot gossippp...hihi some people caught in an action with their x, well, they're just having a lil chit chat, but still...interesting and potentially to become a hot gossip...!!

Eniweiii, how about high school love story?? As i know, in our batch, there are 3 couples having a relationship since high school. but unfortunately, 1 couple ended their relationship about a month ago, so there's only 2 couples left. and I'm the one of them :) yeah..no one ever know what will happen next, it's God business..!! so we'll see later...
3 of our female friends have just got married, and 1 friend has already had a daughter..but none of them came to the reunion..too bad!

Last but not least, we've grown mature and we're adults! Some people change, some are still the same (physically n personality sides). Yeah...people change...i agree with tat statement! Some are totally changed and some are not, just a little changed hahaha complicated though! and 80% of us have already graduated but only 60% got a job already hehehe..Due to the global crisis, it's not the best time for a job seeker! so good luck everyone..

in conclusion, my uneasiness before is wrong, totally wrong!!! I had so much fun meeting up with them all..It's not 'garing' but go with the flow hahaha yeah..i know it's one of my talents, i can talk n adapt easily to different people, different environment, and i always have a topic to be talked. Again, i love to smile..it's the best way to melt down the atmosphere :)

see ya friends..
