Officially 15 Years Old

Yesterday, 21 February of 2011, was my birthday. Yes folks, I'm officially 15 YO now, no longer 14 YO anymore. How fast time flies huh? We didn't really do anything yesterday, my birthday cake still sitting neatly inside the refrigerator till now (I believe, my Mathematics course was far more important than this birthday bash). And I didn't ask for pressie to my parents, I just couldn't, I owe them too many things during my life. Anyway, I came back from my Mathematics course around 10 PM last night, my siblings were peacefully falling into their deep sleep, there were only me and my parents. So what did they do for this birthday girl? They gave me a precious priceless intimate moment. Just me and them. I felt like an only child..., and special. 

My birthday cake, with a little Ballet girl, I learned Ballet for few years but stopped since I entered Junior High :(

I was so tired back then, but either happy at the same time :)

 

Still making silly silly pose :P

 

With my love :)

I heart this pic way too much, I feel so touched everytime I see this

Ah well, we were teasing, chattering, taking pictures. We didn't cut the cake, we used it and brought it back inside the refrigerator ha ha ha. Just a silly dilly wonderful time with my Dad and Mum. A very rare moment for me as a child with 2 other siblings that need my parent's attentions. Did you recognized that even all of the pics above are self-cam?

Without Him

I was chatting with my Sonsaengnim via Blackberry Messenger back then, I found a quite shocking realization that I never recognized before.

Ssm: 백화점 가요? (Go to the mal?)

Me: 안가, 아빠 없어! (Not go, Daddy isn't around!) 

Ssm: 슬퍼하지마,그냥 백화점 동생이랑 가, Strabucks 가보자! (Don't be sad, just go with your siblings, try to go to Starbucks too!)

Me: 아빠 없으면, 어딜가든,행복수없어! (If there's no Daddy, wherever I go, I can't be happy!) 

That's true, what I said in the last line, I wasn't really think if I could answered her with that kind of reply. You know, I just found it was so right. Every week I go to the mal with Daddy, I always think I'm happy cause of the outings, cause he allows me to buy bunch of new books, cause he takes me to the cinema, cause he buys me treats that I like. But today, without him besides me and I did exactly the same outing rituals, I felt totally hubbub. And with what I said to my Sonsaengnim before, I realized, it's not about the outing that we do every week that make me happy, but it's because of his existence around me. It's because of him, his smiles, his warmth, his affection that really matter for me all of this time, yet I never realize until this day came. Ha! How fool of me :'( I really wanna hug him tight when he come home next Monday and show how much I love him.

Okay now, it has been while since my last post, how're you doing? I was quite busy with school stuffs and I've been a total slacker, so I didn't touch either my notebook nor computer throughout this week. Instead, I always lied down lazily with bunch of books during my spare-times. Anyway, after a hard time coaxing myself to update this blog today, I finally here to tell about my outing last week.

  

We went to Grand Indonesia

 

    

Pic of my Mum and Dad, do you realize my Mum's new hair?

 

The first place I stepped in was, Kinokuniya Bookstore :P

The books, I bought with my CNY money :)

Dad bought Crocs, a pair for each of his girls :)

 

We also visited Blitz-Megaplex to watch movie

Views of Blitz-Megaplex, which happened to be the biggest cinema in Indonesia

We actually planned to see this movie

 

Until this baby crying in horror, but still Dad already bought the tickets -_-

 

So, we Daddy and Mommy met at Marche Swiss Market, hence Chelsea didn't go with us to watch the movie, she was shopping with Mum instead :)

I took a chance to pick Swiss food, I chose Rosti (kind of potato dish)

The movie ended around 6.30 PM, we went to The Coffee Bean after that :)

 

 My evening beverage before back to home :)

I miss my Daddy so much now, but you all enjoy your weekend! God bless you ^_^

Gram's Birthday and Few Updates

So, I supposed to post this subject since last week, but due to my business I should regretfully postponed this post. My Gram's (my Mum's Mum) birthday was celebrated last Sunday with whole family at Coca Suki Steamboat Restaurant. My Gram is a talkative one, just like another Grams, but I love the way she expresses her affection to me and I like to be cuddled embarrassing. I'm her first grandchild, I spent many days of my childhood at her house, and before I born she really hoped for a safe arrival of me (I should have an elder brother but my Mum was miscarried). Thus, I constantly happy to be around her (I even wanted to move to her house, if only I can). My Gram's birthday date always confusing me, she follows Chinese calendar which I have no idea about :-/ But Happy Belated Birthday, Gram!

Entrance of the restaurant

 

My Mum's elder brother already booked a VIP room

The room with 15 people capacity, my family arrived first

 

Never forget to take a pic :-/

 

And finally the room became so crowded after everybody arrived

 

My Gram with her children, my Mum is the only daughter and also middle child, my Gong-gong already died since my Mum was only a kid

Me, Gram, and Mum ;)

 

Waiting for the steamboats

Yeriel, Chelsea, and Alfredo

 

Sergio with Fay, do you notice that Fay had half Chinese half Indonesian face? That's because my Mum's elder brother married an Indonesian (Sundanese) woman 

Yeriel, my Mum's younger brother's son

 

Antics? :P

Usual Outing, Unusual Chat

Today is Saturday. Just like usual folks, I went to mal with my Dad and siblings. We chose Central Park as our destination. We rarely go there, I was bit surprised when I saw how different Central Park now -- well, I visited Central Park once, way long time ago. Okay, I will let my pictures do the talk!

Main enterance, I found this medium-sized Christmas Tree

We were eating on an Indonesian Cuisine

We distracted by a Homemade-Chocolate Store called Chocola lol

Dangerous zone ha ha ha please ourselves with many choices of chocolate

We spent IDR 110.000 for 2 little packs of chocolate that we picked, what the!

We found a cozy park near main lobby, we were playing around there ;)

Ugh! Bad quality of picture :-/

We started to see a beautiful enviroment as we walked around

This place reminded me with one of Boys Over Flowers park scene ;P

Fish pond! A slight Jazz music floated nicely when I entered this area

So weird here!

Oh, I didn't expected a bigger Christmas Tree :)

Snap this! Snap that! :P

After that, we decided to watch a movie as usual. We immediately headed to Blitzmegaplex. I loved Central Park Blitzmegaplex's theme, they used a Space theme. Whereas Grand Indonesia and Pacific Place Blitzmegaplex chose an ordinary modern theme, but still they're huge, all Blitzmegaplex are somehow exclusive. Grand Indonesia Blitzmegaplex is the biggest movie theater in Indonesia. Anyway, we watched Due Date, didn't really work on me, you know I barely laughed :P

During way back home, I was chatting with my Dad while both of my siblings were sleeping peacefully. Our topics were his business, my life purpose and future, his friend problem, my friendship life, his opinion about Indonesia, my opinion about this life, and last but not least, about Mummy. We weren't talk behind her back, it was just a simple discussion about how she behaves and etc (Dad and I, we're similar with a mature and introvert characteristic. On the other side, Mummy is a childish cheerful woman who thinks a lot about herself). That was an unusual chat, we picked many hard weighty topics. Well, I do often talk with a weighty topic to him, but never we had enough time like what we did tonight, collected many weight topics and discussing it one by one. Thanks to crazy traffic! For earth sake it was 11 PM at night but this is Jakarta, a sleepless city.
