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..!
