Today's Valentine

 

This pic was taken yesterday, I rarely wear Hoodie, but yesterday was an execption

Aunty Carenina rode her motorcycle with me to the church yesterday, just two of us. Okay, that was my very first long-'motorcycle'-journey. Which unexpectedly happened to be fun, I like how it felt. I've always been a car-girl in my entire life. And when I got a chance to ride motorcycle, the outcome was tasted like freedom somehow!

Aunty Carenina was staying at our home, we had a great time together, discussing about books and Photoshop :)

I will miss that kind of girls-day-out. Oh, before I totally forget, I want to say Happy Valentine! For me everyday is a Valentine on which we can show our affection to everybody around :)

What I received today, thanks to Claudy, Clarissa, Angelica, Virna, Ilona, Edita, and Student Council section who gave me this treats!

After passed a gloomy weekend, I truly blessed with double even triple happiness today, firstly my Dad just got back home this afternoon, he picked me up from school and I got a snuggle time with him. Secondly I received lot of chocolates from my besties, I heart chocolate! Lastly, a conversation that made my day.

I had a Korean-course tonight. As usual, my Sonsaengnim set a time for me to read some passages before she finally said,

Ssm: Do your parents ever heard you write, read, or speak in Korean Language?

Me: Uh-eh, almost never, maybe just once!*grinning* (I admit, I speak only a little in front of them, I worried that they might be bored since they don't even know a single word, except for Anyeong-haseyo!)

Ssm: Really??? How come??? You should be, they will be so proud of your ability!*staring at me with half amazed and half confused face* (A few times, she praised how well I speak in Korean accent.)

I was happy to know this, at least someone noticed me and opined that I can make my beloved parents proud of me. It's a really important matter for me to make sure my parents won't be sorry to have me as their child.

Outing With Mummy

Yep, today I was going out with Ma. She asked me for a companion to Daan Mogot Mal (DM) near our home, because she wanted to go to jewelry shop to manage 'something', I didn't know at all, it was her 'little business'. She doesn't like to be alone wherever she goes, completely different from me and Dad. Anyway, I agreed (with a promise she would buy me a novel if I go with her lol).

 

I finished my previous novel and I bought this one today :)

When she was busy with her thing, she told me to wait at McDonald. I went to McDonald by myself and bought a treat. 

 

Yeay, McFlurry with M&M topping, I'm lovin it lol

Not so long after that, she brought me to a Photo Studio. She said that she wanted to print some photos from her Blackberry. But we ended up with many (I mean really really many) photos being printed.

 

Mostly printed in size 2R. A small pocket size!

 

We got 3 Barbie pocket albums for free :D cute!

 

Trapped by traffic jam as always :(

 

I got a book so cheers along way home :P

By the way, we received a Christmas gift from my Auntie (wife of Ma's older brother). They're a Muslim family actually, but we respect each other belief by giving a gift regularly every year (for Christmas and Lebaran season).

 

Christmas card :) They have 3 boys, Alfian, Alfachri, and Alfredo

 

A box full of ice cream cupcakes! So yummy but too cute to be eaten, thank you Auntie :D

Next week I'll go to Singapore, must be a fun time to relax :) Anyway I watched Tron 3D tonight! It was packed with a complicated plot plus don't forget the awesome 3D! I didn't sleep at all, just because the 3D effects mesmerizing my eyes during the show ha ha ha. I hardly understand the story, simply confusing actually, but I made it thou. I understood the main plot at last moment of the show, how pathetic!

Didn't quite satisfied with the story, but Tron's 3D was hella awesome!

 

Also bought a historical romance novel, The Magic of You by Johanna Lindsey

 

Lastly, visited Sour Sally Yogurt to buy healthy treats :D

Happy weekend to you all! Have a great refreshing time with your family :D

Yearbook Photo Session

Yeah, I had a yearbook photo session this evening, it was tiring, and no fun. But before I tell you more, I just want to talk about Christmas and Potluck Party celebration today in my school. Well, it's 16th December but we celebrated an early Christmas, I guess ha ha ha. I also received a box of food for lunch (I had no appetite and gave it to my driver). I brought 3 presents back home.

 

A new sketch book, Tupperware yellow cup, and mysterious present :P

I may not open the mysterious present from Ilona, my bestie, before 24th December. I don't know why, but I hope I can cope with my big curiosity because she hoped so.

Okay then, the photo session held on Jembatan Kota Intan (Kota Intan Bridge), Old Town, Jakarta. It started around 5.30 PM (we waited for the EO to come), but I arrived at 4 PM. Waiting for a long time successfully annoyed me!

 

Me! Recognize the Basketball headphone? I just bought it yesterday for IDR 85.000

We paid IDR 350.000 inside for 26 people include my homeroom teacher

 

The bridge, first time I saw it directly

 

Left to right, Felix, Wilson, and Steven. They were playing around and totally a LOL!

 

Everyone was busy with their make up and stuffs while I busy taking pictures

 

Cheers, I was the only one who didn't wear a dress. A dress for me, keep dreaming!

 

Miss Kris, our homeroom teacher

 

Ilona, my bestie. I'm tall like giraffe, poor her T_T

 

View of Old Town 

 

I love this shot! Gals were posing together :)

 

Gurls! So dark when we took this pic, can you spot me!? (I was holding a white hat)

I arrived home at 7.15 PM. I still think about bunch of tasks. My latest job is to draw an illustration of 9B members for yearbook, sigh. I never able to escape from school tasks, for God sake, tomorrow will be the last day of school but I still get a task? Kidding me! You want me to do it during holiday? Joking me! 

God bless me for doing this job! Amen

 

Narcissism

Please, don't read the title first he he he. Today, we (included Ma this time) visited a GL Ministry Church  around Kelapa Gading. It took one hour before we arrived there at 6.20 PM. Church started from 6.30 PM and ended 9.00 PM. Yes, two and half hours, I never expected that long, usually we just spend one and half hours on our normal church. After that, we headed to Sate Senayan Restaurant and had a wonderful supper there.

 

Menu, you could find many choices of Indonesian Cuisine there!

 

One of restaurant view

While we were waiting, I kept busy taking pictures. Ever since I own this blog, I enjoy all of my trips more, because I know I have a place to share and save my stories. Blog, which I feel like my own home, is a memory keeper or we could call it journal dairy. I believe it's important for every person who own and use it seriously :) Anyway, we took many pictures, all of us had a cheerful mood tonight which made me glad and wished a wonderful outing like this every weekend ha ha ha

 

Gurls!

 

Auntie Carenina and me :)

 

Smiling Dad!

 

I realized I would miss this, smiling Mum!

 

Kids, they put their eyes into games all the time, sigh and slap forehead 

 Our foods, just simple, 3 portions of chicken satay, 2 bowls of soup, and Gelantine. Tasted great!

Like our narcissism inside restaurant wasn't enough, we snapped another pictures outside restaurant. Oh God! I felt like my face was almost cramp lol

 

God really blessed my weekend ha ha ha. Okay, time to sleep now, night folks!

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.
