Blanja di Pasar Tradisional

Huh.. hari ini gara2 persediaan sayur and bahan makanan dikulkas harus di Reload, gw pun nebeng hubby sampe pasar tradisional disimpang Cengkareng sana..tdnya hubby sih ga tega ngelepas sendirian, tp karna udah pernah juga sendirian dan lagi pengen ya gw maksain aja..masa sih kepasar aja ga bisa sendirian ..hehe

Nah ga enaknya di Pasar ini ya banyak mas2 yang ga tahan iman ngeliat cewe jalan sendiri.. padahal udah ibu2 lagi.. jadi deh gw kaya model lagi jalan di Catwalk karna banyak yang suit2 tin, belum lagi penjual cowo yang genit bin nyebelin kaya penjual Tempe yang bilang gini " ya dah buat Neng yang cantik saya kurangin deh harganya" ( padahal harganyanya juga bisanya segitu kok..)

Belum lagi tukang Ojek yang ngikutin, padahal gw belum selesai belanja.. pas gw tanya berapa harga ke rumah gw eh dipatok 20 ribu! padahal biasanya juga 7 ribu.. eh dia minta 8 ribu sampe akhirnya gw ga mau dan nemu ojek lain yang juga kasi harga 20 ribu tp pas gw bilang "biasanya juga 7 ribu" dia malu sendiri dan akhirnya lanjutt deh nganterin gw..

Tapi ada penjual tahu yang baik hari ini.. dia nanyain gw gini " ko tumben sendirian, biasanya berdua". At least dia ga godain gw lah..hehe..dia juga nawarin kalo emang masih mau keliling silahkan aja titip barang disini dulu ...hmm kalo yg ini gw ga tau modusnya apaan..tp yang pasti dia bantuin gw ngiketin plastik kresek belanjaan gw..Hehe

Eh hari ini juga ketemu dua penjual pelit..biasanya gw beli bawang merah yang udah di giling seharga 2 ribu untuk hampir 1 plastik seperempat kg.. tp hari ini cuma nyampe setengahnya doang..tp gw males komplain, cukup tau aja kalo beli di dia kaya gini..dan lain kali gw balik ke langganan gw aja..

Trs ada ibu2 yang jual tempe dengan harga yang gila2 an.. pas gw tinggalin dia masih manggil2 tp gw udah males.. sempat ngeliat dia bohong pas nyebutin harga ( dengan malingin muka dan ga berani ngeliat gw) huh..maaf ya bu, saya males ama yang ga jujur,bukannya ga mau nawar tp kalo harganya sampe di mark up 2 kali lipat saya dah ga sukaa...hehe

Enaknya belanja di Pasar daripada di pasar Swalayan kaya Carrefour yang juga ada fresh marketnya, dengan harga yang jauh lebih murah kita bisa dapetin sayur atau fresh item dengan jumlah yang sama! contohnya aja 1 iket Daun Bawang yang biasanya di Carrefour dibandrol RP 9 ribu Idr sementara di Pasar ini gw bisa dapetin seharga 2 ribuan dengan jumlah yang sama! cuma ya bedanya, yang di Carrefour udah dibersihin, akarnya udah dipotongin dan emang gede2.. cuma kan kalo liat selisih harga yang jauh banget kaya gitu kan lumayan bangett..

Trs ada juga kentang yang biasanya gw beli di Pasar dengan harga 6 ribu per kilo sementara di Carrefour dipatok 9 ribuan..tp ini ga masalah sih kalo sekali2 secara juga kentangnya lebih bagus ( biasanya) setali ama tomat, wortel atau bawang bombay yang menurut gw ya ga terlalu rugi juga ..

Untuk sayuran ijo juga sih ga terlalu rugi kalo beli di Carrefour..misalnya Bayam yang 1 iketnya seribu sementara di Pasar bisa dapet 2 ribu 3 iket atau 1500 2 iket tergantung mood penjualnya dan kepinteran menawar..hehe..tp menurut gw kalo ga beli banyak item ya its still worth-ed kalo beli di Carrefour

Satu lagi yang kalo beli di Carrefour bikin sakit ati.. Tahu! tahu yang dijual rata2 Tahu Pong petak yang bisa sampe 10 ribuan..sedangkan di pasar 10 biji tahu cina juga udah dapet seharga 3 ribuan.. so does with the Tempe..bikin sakit ati kalo gw bilang

Fresh Market yang di Superindo Daan Mogot lebih lengkap kalo menurutgw..harga sih ga jauh beda ama Carrefour dan enaknya.. ada Tahu Sumedang yang udah dipotong . harganya sih 2 kali harga di pasar tradisonal, 700 per pcs .. hiks..mahall..walopun enak ..

Pelangi KasihNya

Sejak minggu lalu pas lagi browsing2, tiba-tiba kepikiran lagu ini..lagu ini judulnya Pelangi Kasihnya..dulu waktu masih tinggal di Asrama, lagu ini sering banget dinyanyiin mahasiswa pas kebaktian dan dari pertama denger gw udah suka sih, tapi berhubung waktu masih diasrama suka yang Rebel2, lagu ini ga berhasil menduduki posisi Hoobastank Dan Radiohead di Playlist gw

Naahh ga tau kenapa, tiba2 kepikiran pengen denger lagu ini ..emang sih beberapa minggu sebelumnya pernah liat text lagu ini di status temen di FB tp udah lumayan lamaa... but whatever, lagunya baguss and inspiratif banget..mungkin Tuhan lagi kasih gw pernyataan lewat lagu ini berhubung gw suka grumbled dan desperado..hehe.. anyway sejak denger lagu ini gw nyadar kalo semuanya sudah diatur ama Tuhan dan his Plan is the best..so no reason for not counting on Him!

Pelangi KasihNya ( Maria Shandy)

Apa yang kau alami kini
Mungkin tak dapat engkau mengerti
Cobaan yang engkau alami
Tak melebihi kekuatanmu

Tuhanmu tak akan memberi
Ular beracun pada yang minta roti
Satu hal tanamkan di hati
Indah semua yang Tuhan bri

Tangan Tuhan sedang merenda
Suatu karya yang agung mulia
Saatnya ‘kan tiba nanti
Kau lihat pelangi kasihNya

Inglorious Basterds

This movie talks about world war where Nazi was in France and before, they did the Genocide to the Jewish where one girl escaped and later she tried to kill Hitler and his soldiers where an American and British soldiers also tried to defeat Hitler.
Brad Pitt is act as the leader of an American army which was a Big enemy of Nazi where at the end, they got a way to face Hitler and kill them.
From the beginning, it is hard to guess the plot an no wonder it makes us curious. The movie also full of "bloody action" which I think is not proper for children even tough there are some "funny things" such us where Brad Pitt was arrested by Nazi, he shouted " let me go, you are a Germany sausages !"
Above all, this more than 2 hours movie is really exciting movie where you will have some " Therapy shock for your heart"!

Hmmmm I am Speechless to review this Cool Movie...Outstanding!!

So funny when I tried to have a Peep in seeing this Beautiful gown!

FYi this shoot was taken by my beloved one when I did the Gown fitting.. this one is my favorite, anyway .,

Bad Service of Axis Semanggi

Rabu kemarin , gw and Hubby ngunjugin counter Axis untuk ngurus sesuatu. Nyampe disana jam 11 siang, dan pas nyampe cuma ada 1 CS yang jd penerima tamu, 1 Cs yang bertugas plus 1 customer yang lagi dilayanin dan 1 lagi costumer yang lagi ngantri..so kita pikir ini ga rame dong, wong cuma 2 costumer lagi kok...

But Guys, we were absolutely wrong...costumer yang kedua, yang ngaku udah 2 jam nunggu baru bisa dilayani jam setengah 1 dan giliran kita pun tiba jam 1 lebih ..ck ck ck 3 jam menunggu 2 antrian ...!!!!

Semua yang ngantri pada emosi, yang mau beli tiket konser, isi pulsa atau keperluan lain terpaksa harus duduk manis berjam2 untuk nunggu dilayanin.. gemesnya, Cs yang tugasnya "Cuma" bediri nerima tamu itu masih sempatnya ngelayanin costumer sambil SMS san dan bahkan ada 1 pelanggan yang udah duduk lama tapi ga kebagian nomor antrian karna si CS cantik itu sibuk smssan!!! what a good service!!!!!

Pada emosi, wajar aja, semua pada ngomel2 bahkan ada yang udah beberapa kali bolak balik untuk ngechek antrian..herannya CS yang sok manis itu malah ga ada rasa malu atau tanggung jawab sedikit pun..asikkk aja sms san..kalo ditanya jawabannya " aduh saya juga ga tau," atau " saya tanya dulu ya" heeeyyy ..so what are you paid forrr????

Sedihnya liat vendor yang katanya "BAIK" ini, counternya ga ada bedanya ama Lapak di Mangga Dua sana..untuk "counter resmi", gak ada Manajer atau SP atau at least orang yang bertanggung jawab..sooo mau ngomel2 sampe pingsan juga tuh dua orang cs yang super duper lelet ga nyadar2...heraaan yaaa..apa Vendor yang mengklaim dirinya baik ini kekurangan SDM yang kinerja nya okk ???

Untungnya, Kita ga jadi pake Axis and never ever use that..Ogah gw berhubungan ama vendor yang ga profesional kaya gitu..sebenernya Udah 3 kali gw kesana dan ga ada satupun pelayanan nya yang maksimal..dibandingan dengan 2 Vendor lain yang ada dilokasi yang sama, Axis is the worst.!!!yaah mungkin ada harga ada rupa berlaku banget buat yang satu ini ..

Another Shoot

This is a shoot which was taken by one of our friend at our church ( thanks Ka Vinna!) Actually I don't really like my hubby keeps his Mustache and beard " stay" longer such us this picture shows.. But Glad to say, since a week ago, He always shave them every morning and it makes me hard to stay away from his "bling" Cheek..!

Earthquake, Again

Yeah, Last Friday, we again, Had an Earthquake!

I was alone in my flat, did chatting with my friends while the desk where I put my lappy shook and made me shocked. I run outside to the hall and saw there was no panic things such us usually happen when an Earthquake happen. Ok I saw two of my neighbors whom I don't know the name ( that's Jakarta: its an amazing if you knew who stays near your house) They went downstairs by using the emergency stairs in spite of the elevator, but the way they reacted, it looked that they were not panic at all. The other mommy that I saw held the two daughters and tried to went downstairs too, but again, they were not panic at all.

So I remembered the advice of my mom in law that in there were an earthquake, we better not run downstairs use the emergency stairs to avoid the "breaking material buildings". So because we stay in the highest floor, it is better for us to stay there and find a hard material to hold on after the shaking time is over.. Because its more risky if we run through the stairs ( emergency stairs is the weakest area where earthquake happens, because most of people use that)

Then I stood in the edge of the floor, observed another hall trough the glass window for a few second. After I felt Ok, I went inside our flat and chatted with my fellas. One of them asked me " Grace, did you feel the earthquake ??" and I Shocked, released it, took my mobile, got my Jacket and there I saw a missed called from my hubby..ok, its really an earthquake, I thought.

Then I went downstairs and found that there were so many people. I did not want to go upstairs before my hubby came because I knew He will go home directly in this case and I was not wrong, 10-15 minutes waiting ( because the office is near) He arrived and I felt sooooo Happy and roomy ... Huh..Please God be with us every time and thank you for the guidance

Me and Beauty Treatment

I always laugh at people who ask me about the body treatment that I always have to get my skin " bling " and fairer. My friends at my former office thought that I like to spend not only money but my " precious" hours at the Beauty house in order to get and maintain my body and face skin and that's the reason why I got my - just as they said- Fair Skin..hoho..wrong hypotheses, Gals..

One of my friend had ever asked me like this : Grace, you often "luluran" , don't you?. Then I answered based on the fact: "No, I have never". But doubt of my answer, she said : "then how come your arms skin are ok, I mean there is no different between the "cover" areas and the opposite..the my other fellas said " Because she has the fair skin already". Then She said " I also has the fair one" and the other said " but yours and her is different, Niasnese has fairer skin rather than your tribes ( I don't mean to compare with the other tribes, its only talks about the physical characteristic, where no one are better than other)

Ok, let me tell you..as the only daughter in my family, the influence of my brothers are bigger than my mom. I grew up as a " Boyish" or in indonesian we called it " Tomboy" where I prefer to use hot pants rather than Skirt, train set rather than fancy piggy dolls, joined my brothers play "tamiya" in the field rather than play " masak-masakan" with the girls with the same age.

Then when I came to the " teen" age, where my friends knew " cosmetic for the teen one", I prefered to know how to play " Caesar" games in our PC. Where my friends made their own peer groups or Gank based on their appearances and family social status, I prefered to watch and collect the albums of Nirvana, Green Day, Radiohead and Limpbizkit to the Linkin Park one..I was the big fans of Kurt Cobain, where my friends mad of the cute and charming F4, together with my second brother, we prefer to read "Hai" magazine rather than "Kawanku" magazine which my parents subscribed for me.

From the review, you may see how is my personality. I prefered to have the simple and uncomplicated things rather than the others and also the "woman things". I really mind to spend my money or hours to get "Beauty treatment". The first and ever cream bath time for me was in my 16th, when my aunt asked me to accompany her. Also the Facial treatment, I only had 2 times in my whole life. The 1st one when I was in Bandung, got trapped of the " Sales Promotion Girls" of the product that I used ( I started use the cosmetic since I was in my 2nd years of my college) and the result was sooo hurt and I promised myself that I will never ever have it anymore..but a few days of my wedding day, the bridal owner " forced" me to have one because it will make the make up of my wedding will vivid longer..ok, that was the cool reason to get me in that zone.

How about Luluran or Milky bath or any treatment to make our skin soft and fairer?? I have never tried it even once. Where brides to be are busy in managing the body treatment before the wedding day, I prefered doing nothing but hunt the wedding item. My friend had ever said that the Pre-wedding treatment is the 2nd precious time after The Honey moon preparation..but For me, the best thing that I like is when I and my hubby did the searching for find the simple item such us the bells for the bell boys and get confused to find the suitable rent house according to our budget. .

But I admit since I worked, I can't go away from the main beauty items such us the face powder and the foundation, the eye shadow, eye liner, eye brows , lipstick and blush on because without them, I will looked pale and everyone will ask : " are you sick? because you're looked so pale" . My best friend at the former office will be my delegation and said " she isn't sick, she just don't polish the face yet".

But thanks God, even tough I don't have any desire to do the body treatment, He had already given me the fine skin, where other try hard to get their skin fairer. My parents have a fair one and thats the reason why I got the heritage. So its not about the "luluran" things, but it is just a Grace from above

So even tough I am not a good mates in doing the body treatment for my friend, I don't need to be worry. God knows at the 1st that I am gonna be the lazy lady, so He gives me the bonus one..hehe..Thanks Father!

Choco Cheese Crepes

Yesterday, one thing that occurred in my mind is Choco Cheese Crepes. I really wanted to take a bite of it .. actually no need a long trip to get one, only by 5 minutes from my flat i could have one at Mall Taman Palem Cengkareng

But I just felt lazy to go there alone and I didn't know why.. But lucky me my beloved hubby promised to take me there tomorrow..yeah!!! Thanks Baby!

For your information, before, we had a Crepes stall at the food court downstairs. The item that I liked was Choco Cheese..I always buy it almost everyday before it closed due to the limited and few customer .. hiks .. Good bye my crepes..

Black Day

Today I feel bored and down.. 3 months become a Jobless makes me tired and bored..but whom I can blame?? Whom I can complain to? arrghh...

Saying : Ok Grace, you just need to be patience, God will give you the best one at the best time! I know it already but in fact, to apply it into my condition now is really hard..hikss..God please forgive me..I know you will give me the best answer in Your time..give me the patience, father, give me the strength to pass it and show me your Grace..

Parkiran PlanGi yang (Ternyata) Gak Aman

Sabtu sore kemarin, gw dan hubby main ke Plaza Semanggi karna ada keperluan ke counter Axis yang ada di sana. Karna selama ini kita sering banget ke Plangi ini ( apalagi gw pernah ngekos di Sudirman selama 10 bulan) hubby gw pun ga ragu untuk markir kendaraan motor di parkiran baru Plangi, yang walopun belum di bangun dan masih berupa lahan kosong tapi udah ada pos petugasnya dan diklaim " sama amannya" ama yang didalam bangunan atau Basement karna ini juga official's parking land nya. karna alesan ini trs ditambah akses nya yang lebih cepat dan gampang, hubby gw lebih milih markir di sono

Ternyata pas kita mau balik, ada beberapa laki2 yang nongkrong di beberapa motor yang diparkir ( untung ga ada yang duduk di motor kita) dan waktu kita ngantri untuk diperiksa tiket parkirnya, salah 1 cowo yang duduk di motor orang lain itu nawarin diri untuk meriksa tiket kita..gw yang ga tau apa2 dan ngirain dia salah 1 petugas ( karna kan biasanya lahan parkir mall gitu ga terbuka untuk umum ya) ga ragu untuk nyerahin tiket tadi, eh ternyata abis meriksa tiket tuh orang bilang gini " tambah seribu lagi bang" ( padahal untuk parkir dilahan baru ituh, semua kendaraan dikenakan tarif flat 2 ribu perak yang dibayar di muka, sesuai yang tertera di tiket parkir) hubby gw yang tau kalo ituh pemalakan langsung tancap gas walopun tuh orang masih sempat manggil2..jeleknya lagi, kejadian itu didepan mata salah 1 petugas pemeriksa tiket Plangi..ck ck ck ..

Ternyata perkiraan kita kalo parkir luar itu aman, salah besar.. mungkin lahan yang ga dipager membebaskan preman2 setempat untuk masuk dan duduk di kendaraan kita sehingga kita pun dijadikan lahan untuk dipalak..bukan masalah duit seribu nya yang bikin kita bete, tapi keamanan kendaraan kita yang ternyata ga seperti yang diharapkan..coba kalo ada yang rusak ato ilang disono, emang manajemen Plangi mau disalahkan?? dan sebagai salah satu sentra niaga dan komersil papan atas, masa sih keamanan parkiran ga jauh beda ama pasar Tanah Abang atau low class commercial center lain??

Buat yang sering ke Plaza Semanggi, you better not to park your vehicle in this extra parking land..mendingan di basement aja deh walopun ngantri tapi aman dan bebas preman.. dan buat manajemen Plaza Semanggi, tolong dong hal ini dibenahi sebagai salah satu kriteria untuk shopping center ternama..

Kota Tua Art Festival

I found this interesting banner through a mailing List that I joined. From the 1st time I saw I feel interested to attend this event, why? 1st we like to take some cool pictures at Kota Tua ( one of our pre wedding pics was taken there) second the art festival may be different from the modern one which usually held in a modern fancy shopping mal. This traditional and vintage things will be interesting to spend the weekend. Plan to be there!

How To Face an Earthquake

This pictures is informative, shows us what we are supposed to do when earthquake happen. The location is inside the classroom so I think maybe this media is used to the early hood..so simple, but informative, easy to adapt and very useful

Curhat Dari Malaysia

Tadi siang salah satu sohib gw yang berkebangsaan en skarang tinggal di Malaysia nelpon, just want to say hi karna kita dah lumayan lama ga ngobrol

Anyway, doi cerita kalo tentang persiapan pernikahannya yang bakal di langsungin tanggal 14 Februari nanti di kotanya, Kota Kinabalu.. abis itu dia cerita kalo tadinya mereka punya rencana untuk Honey Moon di Indonesia : Bali en abis itu main dong ketempat gw di Jakarta..tapi pemberitaan di media dimana warga negara Indonesia lagi sebel banget ama Malaysia bahkan sampe ngadain aksi sweeping ngebuat "travel warning" tersirat walopun ga di tetapkan secara nyata disana..yah wajar ya, syapa sih yang ga takut dengan situasi panas kaya gini..

Then temen gw yang dia and calon suaminya 4 tahun kuliah di Malaysia ini terpaksa ngurungin niatnya untuk ngunjungin Indonesia lagi..padahal mereka tau kalo ga semua orang Indonesia "barbar" seperti yang terlihat di media..malah menurut mereka penduduk Indonesia tuh ramah2 banget, makanya mereka kaget pas ngeliat ada aksi "anti Malaysia" disini..

Jujur aja sebagai orang Indonesia gw ngerasa malu. Dengan sok wise gw bilang klo yang ngadaain aksi sweeping and anti Malaysia itu cuma sekumpulan orang uneducated yang gampang diprovokasi ( terbukti mereka ga ada kerjaan sampe rela panas2 ngerazia semua orang yang lewat disalah satu jalan, padahal harusnya mereka tau kalo mereka ga punya hak sama sekali untuk ngelakuin itu) en Gw juga bilang kalo Presiden sendiri bilang kalo konflik bilateral ini tengah diselesaikan dengan cara yang damai dan ga pake adu otot apalagi militer..hari gini masih perang? kelaut aja deh...hehe

At least, apapun yang dikatakan orang lain sebagai alasan untuk ngebenci Malaysia, gw bilang ga akan mempengaruhi pertemenan kami.. Masalah yang ada biarlah jadi urusan pemerintah and lets say stop Violence..

PT Pharos

Yesterday I went to PT Pharos Indonesia to attend the Pscho test. There was so may people who attended the test also. The test was held at thd HRD room for Pscho test, so we don't need to use stationary because its already used the computer..the test was common except some which is a Medical issue..

I wish I could be the one whom they are required for the position. It takes about 1 month to get the information whether I am chosen or not

Please God, let it happen as your Plan. Amen

I am Thinner.. Yeah!

Hectic Monday and News From Padang

what a hectic Monday that I had today!! I went out at 11 am and just arrived at 8 pm! so tired..but I tell it later tomorrow

This time I would say big thanks for Jesus Christ for saving most of my relatives in Padang. They are now gathering at my mom's sister house which is not being damaged by the earthquake but unfortunately, 2 of my nephew are not founded yet..please show where they are Father.

Anyway I am so tired and want to go sleep because tomorrow I don't want to wake up late.. Thank you Jesus, Please be with us tonight.

My Family

My Stick Family from WiddlyTinks.com

this is my stick family, maybe I will tell you a little bit about the family where I was born.
My dad is a Teacher, He has been teaching English for the children and adult since He graduated from the college. My dad whom I call Papa is a nice man, He is so patience, caring and "Modern" ( maybe because He works with the foreigner) I like to go shopping with him because its easier for me to grab my favorite things rather than go with my mom..hehe..anyway My dad loves study and education. From Him I knew education and English earlier, which is being my field now.He also encourages us to keep study no matter how old are we now

My Mom whom I call Mama is my Mom and best friend. We are so close each other. We laugh, we cry and we fight every time and it make my dad likes to say " Hey you are only two but hard to be joined. I think the cause for being "debates often" because we are having the same personality. But after all, we are a good mates. My mom likes to call me almost everyday and I like to share everything with her, as my best friend. She is my good adviser too where She was the one whom really believed that I will marry my hubby now even tough we were separated and had no more relationship at that time. We like to go shopping together, bake a cake, eat chocolates, candy and snack just two of us, or just sharing hundreds stories thru phone. O ya She is a good cook and my hubby always tell me to learn more from her, because He loves her own made "Padang Food"

My Oldest Brother is Jeffrey. I call her "Abang". He is an accountant and now are having duty in a remote area at Maluku. He loves traveling and hiking and that was also the reason for him to move to that village. He is a kind of "Discipline and stick to the rule person". He is a good example for me and my second brother. He is also a nice son whom never made any mistakes since he was a kid ( different with two of us who always make our parents angry to us) He also has a good leadership when he was in college where some lecturers admire it ( soo significant with me..) He is really a good figures as as son and brothers.

My second brother is Fajar. Actually he was born twins but only him who can survive. Different with my first brother, He is the person who doesn't like something monotonous. That is why he feels better in "art" rather than other fields. He got his "Disain komunikasi Visual" Degree at the college and now working at a creative house in Bintaro. He is a brother and a friend for me because we are so close. Just like a friend, we like to share everything and I feel more free sharing with him rather than with my first brother because he is more " democratic" so i still can do the " naughty " things as long as it is till tolerable. I am so lucky to have this kind of brother where some of my friend have a gap with their brother.

The only daughter in my family is me. As the youngest, I am being a selfish, spoiled-up and childish person. At first I am not use to share my things with others and it make me hard to stay in a dormitory. I also a shy person who doesn't like to meet a new person actually ( but I don't know why people say the opposite) I am a complicated person, who makes the simple things become more complicated. Queen of Drama who has a "fragile" heart and some of my friends say I am a Good Adviser. I can give a wise and good advice where I my self find hard to implement them in my life.

We are a "Cross Cultural" family where my Dad was born in Nias Island, My Mom was born in Padang, West Sumatra where all of the children were born and raised in Pekanbaru Riau. So never ask us about Nias Culture or Padang Culture because we only know a little bit of our ancient blood.

and now, this is my new little family stick


My Stick Family from WiddlyTinks.com

As a newly-weds, we are not yet having any baby or even a pets. My hubby loves doggy so much but this time because we are staying in a flat, we can't rise any doggy. We also ever had a plan to have an aquarium with the little small fish inside but I am still unlike ths fishy things.

My husband is a calm and quite person, the opposite of me. He likes reading, watching and studying a lot besides traveling, hiking and playing piano. He is not kind of a romantic person, but he is willing to do any things to make me happy. He is caring and understanding person. There are so many good side that I should learn from him. One of them is his Patience where he always face my " bad side" patiently.

Anyway we live in a small flat in west Jakarta, near his office. My husband is a Bataknese and at home we use multilingual such us : Bahasa Indonesia, English, Batak, Melayu Riau ( where we spent the childhood time together) Minang ( because in Pekanbaru people speak Minang Languange often) and little bit Nias Language for other maybe it looks weird but for us its really fun!

Happy Batik!

Akhirnya hari ini Unesco mensyahkan Batik sebagai warisan kebudayaan Bangsa Indonesia walopun menurutku agak telat karna Batik sendiri udah dari zaman Bahelua sono emang jadi peninggalan nenek moyang kita eh, kenapa baru di tetapkannya abad ini..hmm setelah dicoba di utak atik negara tetangga? kalo gitu kita perlu berterima kasih ama negara sahabat ini karna setidaknya udah memberikan kita sedikit cubitan agar kita melestarikan kebudayaan aseli kita..

Ngomong-ngomong tentang Batik.. dulu Papaku tersayang sempat "terobsesi" untuk menjadi pembuat batik kelas teri..hehe.. karna pengen banget belajar, si Papa rela ngeborong alat-alat ngebatik dari Jogjakarta, mulai dari cangklong nya atau pewarna alaminya sampai kain polos en sketsa2 batik tulis made in Jogjakarta..tapi sayang karna kesibukannya, Papa ga sempat "ngebatik" sampe sekarang..yang ada malah pewarnanya diambil alih ama kakak laki-lakiku nomor dua yang waktu itu masih kuliah dan berjurusan Desain Komunikasi Visual.. jadi deh pewarna alami tadi dikombinasiin ama disain2 kontemporer his own made

Anyway, lucunya hari Ini mulai di recoki ama postingan2 lucu temen2ku yang sibuk mengkampanyekan idenya ini lewat jejaring sosial sampe personal message. Bukannya berterima kasih ama UNESCO dan mendukung batik, mereka malah sibuk buat banyolan tersendiri..hmm..dasar nih..ini namanya darah muda darah remaja...(looh??) misalnya satu banyolan yang dikirim dari beberapa ( bukan cuma 1 loh) temenku di personal Message ku:

Bulan depan 02 Nov Unesco mengakui Koteka sebagai warisan budaya indonesia, mari pada tgl tersebut kita sama sama memakai koteka. INGAT...!! Sebarkan ke teman2 yg lain

hehe.. anyway, mariih bersama-sama kita melestarikan peninggalan nenek moyang kita (aku lagi punya ide untuk ngejahit batik seragam ama hubby tercinta nih) bukan hanya Batik sebenernya.. masih ada lagi banyak warisan oma-opa nenek-kakek moyang kita yang kurang kita perhatikan dan hampiir tenggelam di era moderen saat ini, misalnya: songket, ulos, baju bodo atau kain tenun dari berbagai daerah di Timur sana..kalo Koteka ?? hmm no comment deh..hehe

Gathering at PIM

Yesterday was a tired day for us, because there are an extra agenda for me and my hubby, to meet my best friend at Pondok Indah Mall after working hours.

Early in the morning, I had to attend the interview for the position as the Secretary ( as I told before ) at Jl. Gunung Sahari ( its not quite distance anyway, but because I only know to reach there by using TransJakarta, it took a longer time when I had to change the bus at Terminal Senen, even tough it was not really far from Harmoni) and thanks God I were there before the due time.

The interviewer was one of my 4 directors to be. She was so kind and smart. She explained what kind of job that I will have if I am chosen. The short training will be held for me because I don't have any experience yet in that field

After the interview ( I do hope they will accept me to fill the position) I went to Atrium Plaza to find something I need. At First I want to buy a jacket for my hubby and a quite bigger bag for me, but at the end I just Found a black bag in Farrel's outlet and two magnetic miniature in one cute shop ( I will buy more when I visit that place!)

At 3 pm, I went thru Harmoni-Pulogadung Transjakarta route and "changed" the bus to the "Kalideres" route then finally again must got the " Lebak Bulus" one and arrived at PIM at 4 something..soo many cute things I found there but thanks God I was able to manage my wants...hehe

At 6 pm, my friends came and one hour after my hubby arrived there. We had dinner at my favorite one : Pizza Hut..but because I am a Vegetarian, I just ate a Cheese Pizza which has no beef or fish as the topping..

We went home at 8.30 and arrived at our flat at 10.30..my hubby was so tired and He complained because we always gossip other people every meeting..hehe.. that's a women things baby..!
