7th year itch

There's 1 more thing that bugged me about our 7th year relationship: 7th year itch: this time, it comes from external factor. people kept asking when we're getting married. Oh come on! We're too young for that.. Although we've been through many phases, but still, we, I mean ME, is NOT ready for Marriage. Just yet. Wow MARRIAGE. 1 powerful word. What's crossing in your mind when u heard this magic word? Me personally, when thinking about marriage, that means I have to deal with many things like: - kitchenette (cook, wash the dishes, etc), - motherhood (get pregnant, deliver the baby, breast feeding, get fat, change diapers, n RAISE the baby - that is the MOST important thing, if u're not ready YET, don't even dare to born a new baby to this world) - houses (clean the house, arrange the garden & flowers) - get up in the morning & prepare breakfast to your hubby while u have to go to work too (if there's any). - money -> here's the most ...

May 2010

as days go by, so does my life.. I stated May somehow a memorable month in my whole life. Seriously. Too many things happened on May 2010. It all started when I got a phone call from someone on early May, he said that I won the contest that I joined a month before. I cried a happy tears, knowing that my essay won that competition. I couldn't believe what I hear. On the same day, 11PM for exact, I got another phone call that delivered a very bad news: my grandma had a STROKE attack. GOD! How could I receive 1 VERY good news & another VERY bad news at the same time? Me & my parents went to the hospital as fast as we could. When I met my Nan, I burst into tears. But this time, a sad tears. This is the person that have a big effect in my life, especially in my childhood.. She took care of me & my sister, taught me many things, and got us closer to God. I was so sad to see my Nan laying on the ER bed, she hugged me & told me that it would be OK. When I see her eyes, I kn...

Secret Single Behavior

When your relationship has reach the magic number SEVEN, do u think u ALREADY know about him? Well, think again ladies. Along the way, I thought I knew all about him, but turns out, after all these major ups n downs for 7 years, I think I've just known him about 70%. That means, 10% each year. I knew general things like what he likes what he doesn't like, who's friends who's not, what songs he listen to, what movies he interested to, what style & color he love, etc etc. The rest 30%? I believe it's 15% sex & 15% SSB. Since I know nothing about the other one, so I guess I'm gonna find out his SSB (Secret Single Behavior). I didn't notice about this at all, but recently, I've found some when he stay at my house the other day. No we didn't sleep together, he just spend the night in my house & sleep on our guest room cos he had to go to work early in the morning, n my house is closer to his workplace. We did spend many nights together on vaca...

happy wedding Daisy & Alvin

Last May, me & all my friends attended our best friend wedding party at Bali. We flew to Bali on May 11 (the party is on May 15). We're having so much fun there.. Lots of experience, laughs, even there are tears & cat fight involved too. This is the first time we traveled together, and really tested our friendship. with the bride before the big night :) best ribs in town! memorable night at Rosso Vivo my fave underwater photo wif the girls at the beach ku de ta! never ever forget that night! bubba gump! The wedding party is huge! Located in one of the most beautiful chapel in Bali, at Conrad Hotel. I love the idea how they made cocktail party before the party started and the foods were great! I'm sick of Chinese food that mainly present at the regular wedding party here. They served the finest Bali food with free flow both red & white wines. Ferdy Hasan became the Master of Ceremony & Dian HP designated to be the Master of Entertainment (I don't know what th...

The girls are back

charlotte, samantha, carrie, miranda I was so thrilled when I read somewhere last year, that Michael Patrick King will make another sequel of Sex and The City movie. I hooked up with SATC (the series) years ago, but then, I was too young to know about what they discussed so I watched it every once in a while. And when HBO started to broadcast it again last year, when I "old" enough to know their issues, I was totally hooked up. The stories are original, beyond expectation. The 4 characters from the story are Carrie Bradshaw (played by Sarah Jessica Parker), Charlotte York (Kristin Davis), Samantha Jones (Kim Catrall), and Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon). Although it seems my character look a lot like Charlotte, but I'm a huge fan of Carrie. She's a writer of "sex & the city" column at NY newspaper, and she journeys with her 3 BFF to find true love and how they struggle in a relationship & life. Even The Guardian named Bradshaw as an icon of the decade...

rats & cockroaches

Bad people are like rats & cockroaches. You don't always see them, but they always there. Please read the story of two bloggers from Indonesia who join the GSS contest: http://bit.ly/9n3YYZ I feel really sorry for them. Contests are sucks. They encourage me to share my story too. At first, I think I didn't have to do this. But I'll write about the contest I was in.

what is it like being an indonesian?

I was born in Indonesia almost 23 years ago. My Dad is a Chinese and my Mom is Indonesian. So no wonder, I don't have Chinese eyes & skin. At first, I don't mind about it at all. Some called my skin is exotic, some hated it, and some don't give a shit. As for me, I was wondering why I'm different from my friends at elementary school, but then I found out & I don't give a shit. I was perfectly fine with my own skin until one day I applied my American visa and realized how BAD our image as Indonesian in American's eyes. We described as "alien" who want to travel to America to be a "smuggler". Thanks to bad publicity such as terrorist thingy. Not once, not twice, but several bombs have exploded in Bali, in Jakarta, etc. In short, my visa was rejected. I feel terrible to see how bad Indonesian in the world's eyes.. Despite our rich natures, Indonesia have a lot troubles inside. I don't have to write this sensitive issue one by one...
