My Mini-Hunting

Since two months ago, I already beg one Mini Dress ( again) to my hubby, and due to that reason, we visited some of the Mall where I used to buy one.

The problem was not the Items but my body size ( Yes, I am an extra-S woman!). For the Asian Size, I will be fit on Small or Medium Size where for the American or European, I need no size than Extra Small!!

Fortunately, I heard that one of my favorite brand "Minimal" have opened their Boutique in Jakarta ( before, we had to go to Bandung to buy one dress from them) and lucky me, it was in "Citra Land" shopping center which was so near to my flat, so at the opening day, we went there

But I was not lucky as I thought before because their collections for now is available in a " big " size ( even tough I had already gotten the Extra Small One) due to the style or just say the " seasons" that they are having now. So I just said Bye bye to this collections this time, hope that I will find the suitable one ( for me ) next sessions!

Next, we went to my favorite shopping center when I stayed in Sudirman : Ambassador and Plaza Semanggi . Centro in Plaza Semanggi is one of my favorite Department Store but once again I wasn't lucky because their " trends" for now is the " Elegant" party dress where I just looked for a semi casual " Mini Dress".

Then we also went to Plaza Indonesia and Grand Indonesia but what we had was not so different from Centro. Ok, I do love chiffon with floral patterns on it, but please do not make me looked too old with that colors and cuts!

The next destination was Puri Indah Mall which is the nearest Mall from my house ( beside Mall Taman Palem where can't be labeled " Mall" ) there I found one black chiffon mini dress which I liked, but only available in size S/M ( means ; the size S is equal with size M) where it length couldn't be "compromise" with me

Depressed with the conditions, I decided to give up after this recent sessions end. Just hope that the next trends are suitable for me. My hubby tried to cheer me up by buying a short pants for me ( what a nice rewards! Hehe)

But Lucky me, when we went to Daan Mogot Mall ( also near my house) to get my watch fixed, I found a black mini dress at Matahari Department Store. The size was " M" but it was still suitable for me! what a nice surprise after a long and tiring hunting! Thanks God!

Never Give Up

Never Give Up On Anything

Its Madness -
To hate all roses, because you got scratched by one thorn.
To give up all your dreams, because one did not come true.
To lose faith in prayers, because one was not answered.

To give up on your efforts, because one of them failed.
To condemn all your friends, because one of them betrayed.
Not to believe in love, because someone was unfaithful.

Remember that, another chance may come up.
A new friend, A new love, A new life.

Never give up on anything!

The Piano

My hubby's is a Pianist, let's say : Piano freak. Practicing piano filled his life, from childhood time until now.

Poor for us, we don't have that beautiful but very expensive thing inside our small flat. So my hubby only can play it at the time we go to my parents in law home at Bandung. There he will met his black buddy!

Then last week, we found a new store in Plaza Semanggi, name : "Buku Musik". Where it provides so many music books, lets say "Partiture" of classical until modern songs, and no wonder, He spent a long time inside that store.

Anyway, there is just OK if he decided to buy one of the partiture, but the problems is the partitures are all originally imported from US or Canada, and we have to pay the original price plus 20% of the total cost. can you imagine, none book costs less than IDR 150,000 ? what a expensive price for us now! ( not for the other people, I mean)

Then the second problems is, we couldn't have only one book to be bought. You know, if you were a pianist, you would be very interested in finding as many songs that you can. So due to this reason, my hubby finally decided not to buy even one, before spending hundreds thousand rupiah inside this luxury books store.

Next, after accidentally visited the store, my hubby now is missing his black mate. And as I can guess before, he is now searching for Yamaha Clavinnova rather than the upright piano as he has at his parents house because its price is cheaper and also contains more -lets say- music gadget as electronic keyboard or Electone has

By the way, I am also -lets say- an organist and a Piano lover . I am too dreaming about having our piano at home some day. But to be honest, we can't afford it this time. The cheapest price of it is around IDR 20 billion ( the old and already used one) and it really impossible for us to afford it at least this year. So honey, please be patience, you will have your best mate as soon as we could afford!

First Try

Well, this is gonna be my first post about Pregnancy...:D

Setelah satu tahun "bersantai" ria, akhirnya gw dan hubby "menggencarkan" program "baby" juga.. bukan apa-apa, As time goes by, keinginan untuk jadi mom and dad makin kuat aja buat kita, ngeliat hubby yang tadinya cuek jadi " sayang banget" ama ponakan2 juga udah kasi signal kalo He wants to be a dad beside the inside fact that I want to give birth of our son as soon, as I can

So kemarin, setelah " melakukannya" di masa subur gw, kita pun berharap-harap cemas akan kedatangan si bayi.. tiga minggu sesudahnya, gejala-gejala aneh muncul di gw. Mulai dari rasa lemas, cepet cape yang berkepanjangan, lapar yang sangat ( walopun emang udah rakus juga pada dasarnya..hehe) dan yang paling signifikan : Haid gw gak mampir sampai lewat 3 hari,

Nah, dengan semangat 45, hubby pun menyarankan agar gw ngintip pake test pack. Malah tadinya mau sekalian check darah aja ama papi mertua karna kita juga pas ada di Bandung. Tapi gw rasanya segan, takut kalo hasilnya negatif dan buat papi&mami mertua jadi kecewa, karna mereka, terutama papi udah suka nanya2 dan berharap kita secepatnya punya baby. So gw pun memilih untuk beli test pack setelah kita nyampe di Jakarta

Then, this morning, hubby yang biasanya masih molor pas gw bikin sarapan dan bekal, dengan semangat 45 bangun en nanya " yang udah pipis belum??" ok, karna gw belum pipis, doi pun menunggu dengan sabar, dan akhirnya setelah gw pipis, kita ngelihat hasilnya sama2 dengan perasaan harap-harap cemas, dan hasilnya pun menunjukkan strip merah 1 biji

Rasanya ga tega ngelihat hubby kecewa, bahkan setelah test packnya dibuang, doi maksain bongkar lagi tong sampah dapur untuk re-chek hasilnya..Tapi test packnya ga berubah, nothing changed.

Well, walaupun kita sedikit kecewa, tapi kita tau kalo Tuhan pasti kasih kita baby disaat yang paling tepat, so no reason for being sad, the Grace will come on the right time!!
