Auntie Dian's Homework..

I was talking to one of my sister oldest friend Dian, on a virtual. It's been a while since the last time we talked...as you already know I was pretty busy this couple of months...so talking to her is pretty rare. Even though she is my sister bestest friend since Junior High, but since i was only one year behind them, I also know her...We've spent 5 years of Junior and Senior High together.

Dian and I have quite a few things in common, but our passion of writing is one thing that bind us [even though we just realized it...we never knew that both of us love to write]...the only difference between Dian and I is that I am an impulsive write....[I only write when the mood strike] and Dian is...well she is a writer alright.. :) [u all can read her writings in this site and this site also]

She asked me why I haven't updated my blog since June, and I tell her that I was pretty busy at work. Besides that I feel like my mind is blocked...there's so many things I'd like to write but don't know where to begin. Being the good writer as she is, Dian told me that I have to make time to write, even though it seems like I don't have time at all, because only by writing makes writing more easy...[do u even know what I am saying??..hehehe...well I presume that all my blog reader is a very smart people.. :)..] It is really easier to say than done, you know...that if we want to be an expert writing we have to write and to write and to write...hehehehe.

After hearing what I've said, Dian comes up with this idea...she would give me something to write on, which is an idea from one of a posting on her blog, but I have write my story on that subject but in my version. She said, it would be very good for me. I can learn and practice and it would be really easy since I have an example. Well, consider this posting is my practice so I can write and put that mind block thingy behind me.

Movie....

Since I am one of the biggest movie freaks I know, so I already seen the list of movie that auntie Dian would like to watch...Thanks to the ITC ambassador DVD's seller. :). But there are also a few of movie I would like to watch but didn't have time and that would be :

1. Failure to Launch -- a Matthew McConaughey and Sarah Jessica Parker's Movie


2. The break-up -- a Jennifer Anniston and Vince Vaughn's Movie


3. Superman Returns [I know...i know...it is not a good movie or so I've been told...but Brandon Routh is such a hottie.. :)...


4. Firewall -- a Harrison Ford's Movie


5. The Lucky number Slevin -- a Bruce Willis and Josh Harnet's Movie

Actually I already bought all that movie, but as I said earlier, I didn't have time to watch it...[that and about 20 other movie or maybe more...:)...]. As of right now, I like watching TV Series, like 24, CSI, Gilmore Girls, Smallville, One Tree Hill, Desperate House Wife's and the new one is Grey's Anatomy. And just like auntie Dian said, TV series from America is really good..nothing like our "Sinetron". American's TV Series always pay attention on a good details that mattered...as of the cast are really doing exactly that on their real life. Not like our sinetron, which only shows a lot of screaming or crying and nothing more...too much drama... :(...

Hmm...I said I was a movie freaks, but I can't seem to remember the last time I saw a movie in the theatre...it was a very long time ago. Since I had Kay, my interest to watch a movie outside is like disappear. I would rather go home and played with her than watching a movie on theatre. But that's bring me a lot of advantage, which is I didn't waste my money [as u already know the ticket to the cineplex is about Rp. 45.000 a person, and a DVD is only Rp. 6000 each, that sure a lot of difference right?] and I can spend a lot of time playing with Kay...

If u asked me, what movie that impressed me the most, the answer would be very easy, it has to be "Pretty Women". Julia Roberts played a hollywood boulevard prostitute who happen to be lucky to have met a prince charming played by the one and only world's biggest HUNK Mr. Richard Gere...It is a real life version..[but still in the big screen..] Cindy"fu**n*rella..hehehe...that's a direct quote from the movie. I like this movie very much that I've seen it for the fiftieth times if not more... :). I guess being the romantic freak, a movie with a happy ending would always give me hope that it also can happen in the real life.

Another movie that also leave a significant memory in me is Taking Lives. I still can't believe the scene when the villain [played by Ethan Hawke] stabbed Angelina Jollie's tummy while she is nine months pregnant...ouch ouch ouch...it gotta be really hurt...:(....and what a sick bas***d would do something like that. As for the story, I guess it was OK, a thriller....story of a person that always taking his victim ID's after he killed them. And it had been going for several years until a detective caught up with him, but not before she fell in love with that murderer...[hahahahaha..I hope u understand what I am saying about the movie....for someone who tried to be a writer, I am suck in telling movie plot... :).... ]

Hmm...I guess that's it. pretty much what I would like to write about what movie I love, would like to watch and have a special memory of....hopefully this post would be what auntie Dian asked me to do...hahaha....and how about all of you??...do you want to share what your favorite movie is???....if so...just leave a comment or give me a shout or two on my shout box....I will be waiting......

PS:...sssstt....auntie Dian....what do you think???....I'll try to post another movie thing later k?...I wrote this post when my baby and hubby is taking a nap... busy busy day being an oshin...:).....thanks for the assignment though....I think my words are starting to come back to me...:)....

Callista's 1st birthday party

Kelamaan ga posting mbuat aku kehilangan kesempatan untuk nyeritain moment penting dalam kehidupan 'malaikat kecil' kami....Tapi menyambut pembaharuan di blog ini aku susulin deh, sedikit cerita tentang pesta ulang tahun-nya Kay....ga pa pa kan udah lewat....yang penting tetap ada history kalo aku pernah cerita tentang ganti tahun pertama buat malaikat cilik ku.... :)

1 September 2005 merupakan hari yang bersejarah dalam hidupku, selesai sudah penantian-ku dan suami selama ini. Telah hadir dalam kehidupan kami berdua, seorang bayi mungil yang lucu bernama Callista Puti Ulung [Kay].
Setahun berlalu, banyak sekali kisah indah yang saya dan suami jalani bersama Kay [ga semua indah karena ada juga cerita sedih, terutama waktu Kay sakit dan dirawat di rumah sakit..wah...pengalaman paling buruk dalam sejarah hidup aku kalo itu....:(....], namun secara keseluruhan lebih banyak kisah indah-nya deh. Gimana engga, wong udah ditunggu lama, jadi semua cerita dan kenangan pasti selalu dinikmati dan di resapi.

1 September 2006, genap satu tahun malaikan kecil kami bertambah usia dimana kepandaian dan kecerdasan nya mengalami peningkatan yang cukup pesat.....[maaf ya, kalo Bunda-nya yang cerita, jadi agak subyekti..atau malah amat subyektif?..hehehe...wajarlah...]. Di hari jadi-nya itu, Kay sudah mulai berjalan...ga cuma menapakan kaki dan merambat sembari pegangan di meja atau kursi, tapi berjalan beneran, tanpa pegangan... Waduh..seneng bener rasanya...berarti nanti pas di pesta ulang tahun-nya Kay udah bisa jalan kesana kemari sendirian. Selain itu, dia udah mulai bisa nunjukin mana perut ndut-nya, kaki dan tangannya, mata, gigi [yang belum berhasil cuma kalo nanya hidung nya mana?..yang di tunjuk pasti mata...:(....tapi kalo kita bilang hidung busuknya mana...pasti deh idungnya gerak2 kayak lagi nyium bau busuk...:)...]

Berhubung tanggal 1 September jatuh di hari jumat, jadi pesta ulang tahun Kay kita pindah di hari Minggu tanggal 3 September 2006, supaya semua yang di undang bisa hadir..kan libur..jadi ga ada alasan untuk ga dateng dong. Satu minggu sebelumnya bunda udah mulai sibuk banget deh, mulai dari nyari baju pesta untuk Kay, aksesoris rambut, stocking, kue ulang tahun, pilihan masakan, snack, dan segala pernak pernik untuk goodie bag. Bunda sampe jalan ke daerah kota sana..[aduh..lupa euy, nama daerahnya apa..tapi lumayan jauh dan panas banget....]. Tapi Bunda rela kok ngejalanin itu semua, kan Kay cuma sekali umur 1 tahun-nya. [lagian emang kalo umur yang lain berapa kali??....bukan gitu loh maksud bunda..ini kan kali pertama kay berubah dari ulang bulan ke ulang TAHUN...:)...jadi harus bener-bener special dan seru deh.....

Persiapan ulang tahun Kay masih tetap berjalan sampai hari sabtu sore. Bunda jalan ke ITC Ambassador untuk ambil goodie bag-nya Kay, di rumah auntie ama oom Kiting siap2in ruangannya, semua sudut ruangan dipenuhi sama balon-balon yang ditiup dan di gantung di plafon. Mungkin karena ini merupakan pengalaman baru untuk Kay, jadi dia excited banget. Menurut Oom Kiting ama Auntie, dia ga berhenti-hentinya teriak-teriak dan jalan kesana kemari, sambil sekali-kali kaget karena pasti aja ada balon yang meledak. Seneng campur kaget gitu deh dia. Akibat dari saking excitednya, pas bobo malem, Kay malah jadi sangat gelisah. sebentar-sebentar nangis...mungkin masih kaget ndenger balon-balon yang meletus siang nya...:(...

Hari minggu pagi, oma, opa, auntie, oom kiting dan adek Kaka yang pertama sampai di rumah, terus mulai pasang karpet, karena kita mau pesta sembari lesehan. Nah, waktu kita masih berbenah ruangan, anak kecil yang lagi ulang tahun juga ikutan sibuk berbenah....seneng banget deh dia, jadi lebih sibuk dia malah. Saking sibuknya dia malah ga bisa bobo sesuai jadualnya.....atau lebih tepatnya ga mau bobo, karena mungkin takut kalo dia bangun nanti semua-nya kembali sepi kayak hari-hari biasanya. Wah...bisa gawat nie, kalo dia kurang tidur kan bisa jadi rewel banget....tapi mau gimana lagi...she is too excited...

Menjelang siang, undangan lainnya mulai berdatangan...[taelah...kayak apa aja...wong cuma keluarga deket aja kok ama uni Aia dari sebelah...pake bilang undangan lain :)....] dan sekitar jam 12 kurang 10 acara ulang tahunnya dimulai. Karena si malaikat kecil yang lagi ulang tahun makin siang makin rungsing [rewel banget maksudnya...hehehehe..buru-buru di translate, abis pake bahasa planet urdu gitu...pasti ga pada ngerti...].

Walaupun udah ngantuk banget, waktu yang dateng pada nyanyi "Selamat Ulang Tahun dan Happy Birthday" dia excited banget kan...beda banget ama waktu Bunda ama Daddy mau potong kue.....waduh...udah mulai marah dia....kayak mau ngomong..."please dong...aku udah capek nie..ceremonial-nya ga usah ikut aja ya.. :).."

Ya udah...karena princess-nya lagi rungsing dan super ngantuk acara di percepat. Maksudnya acara dia aja..selesai tiup lilin, langsung bunda gantiin baju...terus karantina di kamar, tapi denger di luar masih rame, eh dia masih pengen keluar...jadi deh nempel banget ama daddy....tapi ama bunda juga tetep nempel sie.

Mungkin karena excited banget juga kali ya...akhirnya Kay bobo-nya bentar banget..akibatnya rungsing mah tetep...:(....tapi udah lumayan mau ketawa ketiwi, jadi acara ulang tahunnya di lanjutin deh. Satu-satu pada mulai nyanyi tengah lingkaran dan setelah itu dapet hadiah ...dapet goody bag dari Kay sama ada tempat makan dan minum-nya :).

Akhirnya acara ulang tahun yang hectic selesai deh...karena Kay udah ga bisa kompromi lagi...ngantuk tapi ga rela tidur. jadi bunda melakukan pemaksaan kehendak..nggendong Kay terus di nina boboin...pintu kamar di kunci dan minta tolong sama yang lain untuk ga berisik dulu...akhirnya bobo dengan nyenyak juga anaknya bunda...:).....

Waduh..satu hari ini merupakan pengalaman tak terlupakan deh. mungkin Kay belum bisa inget ya...tapi bunda ama daddy kan udah inget...biar capek tapi senang dan lega rasanya...1 tahun sudah keajaiban dan anugrah dari Allah SWT melengkapi hari-hari kami. Semoga hari-hari selanjutnya akan lebih indah dan bahagia...amiin...

Terima kasih ya Allah...telah Kau anugerahkan kami anak yang cantik dan cerdas untuk menemani hari-hari kami. ....semoga kebahagiaan ini untuk selama-lamanya. Amiin ya Rabbal Alamiin....

Result of my persistence

Do u remember my posting "Stupid or Persistent" ?. If you don't , you can just scroll down this blog and find out....if you do remember....then I am happy to tell u that my persistence is finally paid off. I mean, my friend B, finally give in and asked me [please take note here...ASKED ME, not the other way around]...to go to one of the Bazaar on the office building next to mine.

That very surprising event [in my opinion was one of my 'Grammy' moment :)...] occured on the first day of this week. He said that there's this sale on Bapindo Plaza, held by PT Mitra Adhi Perkasa Tbk, a general distribution for a very well known brand in Indonesia, and he asked if I want to go and check it out.

Hearing his proposal to go to a bazaar.....I gasped, almost choked and asked him back..."Are you really asking me to go to a bazaar???....Are you feeling well??? You are not kidding????". Hahahaha...to many question huh?....I should really go to that bazaar the first time he asked me right?....but if you guys afraid that he will change his mind, don't....coz I did go to the bazaar with him........

We went to the bazaar....I got one new sling bag and one purse...a cute one...and for B....he didn't get anything, coz he went there to buy some new pants..but to bad for him...they didn't have his size...:(....
As I already told you it was my 'Grammy' moment...so I intend to enjoyed it for as long as I can...but too bad it wasn't long enough...but enough to prove me that sometimes persistence is really paid off...:)...

PS :
Hehehehe...thanks for taking me to the bazaar...you proved me that I am not STUPID....just pretty d**n PERSISTENT....and it really do pay off....:)....yiiipppiiiiieeeeee.........
Note : we went to that bazaar on October 3rd 2006 [I write down the date coz I want to remember it as long as I live....]... ;)....
