Chasing Intan

See. I've been working on my engagement post. Not this one . But this time, the official one (which was involved by both families). Why it took so long? First of all, I'm not procrastinating (since it occured on last two weeks). But I waited till the photos done while I wrote the text.  Earlier this week I got the CD from the photographer, I was so excited and I copied all of them to my laptop. The text was done too.  I should have post it earlier but my internet connection as usual, sucky. And didn't know why, I couldn't upload any photos.  Here's the thing. Yesterday morning before I went to work, I found out that my laptop with its bag was MIA. I searched it like crazy cos I CAN'T lose it. Valuable. I bought the laptop with my own money that I got from working at the bank couple years ago. Not forget to mention, thousands of photos and important files were there too. Shortly, the laptop was missing and later we found out that there's a thief sneaking i...

the thorn bird “There is a legend about a bird which sings just once in its life, more sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth. From the moment it leaves the nest it searches for a thorn tree, and does not rest until it has found one. Then, singing among the savage branches, it impales itself upon the longest, sharpest spine. And, dying, it rises above its own agony to outcarol the lark and the nightingale. One superlative song, existence the price. But the whole world stills to listen, and God in His heaven smiles. For the best is only bought at the cost of great pain… Or so says the legend.” The Thorn Birds

Dieter turned over a new year on February 7th.. I've known him for NINE glorious year. What a long rollercoaster and of course, I'd buy another ticket! and this time, for a lifetime.. Cos our journey will end the day we close our eyes and leave this world.  Happy birthday baby . There's nothing more I can say than my pride of being your longtime partner and (hoping) soon to be your lifetime wifey. with every beat of my heart, there's a beat for you may your wishes will come true :3

...three hours max is a common time we need to finish a wedding reception. BUT it takes more than a year to prep that!! how crazy is that. INSANE but it is what it is :( And I'm getting so fed up with the preparation. I honestly think that "marriage" in Indonesia (I don't know in other part of the world) is really exploited. People tend to jump into this business cos it's so tantalizing. There are lots of my friends who turned into photographers, decorators, wedding organizers, make up artists, and so on. The business is literally mushroomed. I went to the wedding exhibition one day and met my friends, and I was like "Oh you're a photographer now? Okay. Good luck!" and "what, wedding organizers? thank you." also "IDR 7.5mill for a make up fee? Well.. lemme think about it first." I'm just so amazed... with how a marriage concept turned into nowadays. We're so busy thinking about the pre-wedding pictures, decorations, music...

i feel so enormously sad that my first blog post after such long absent would be another sad news. God is now throwing parties up there with all the talents that He called back home. so what are we left with? soon, there won't be any legends left. RIP Whitney Houston , you will greatly be missed. long live Whitney, long live Amy, long live Etta.. what a nice girlgroup they have in heaven xx P.S Amy just received her 6th Grammy for her "Body & Soul" duet with Tony Bennett.. Her parents acceptance speech made me teary eyed :'(

music world has lost another legend.. Etta James  passed away on age 73.  I've actually been thinking that I will use At Last as my wedding song.. Well here it is.  RIP Etta James .  Amy now will take care of you.
