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 ^_^

Our Last Outing Before CNY

Our last outing before CNY was on Taman Anggrek Mal (TAM). My Mum happened to search for our CNY outfits there because many outfits were on sale.

Had a luncheon first at Padang Restaurant

Whereas me, I walked alone by myself. I was hunting a pressie for Ilona (her birthday was last week) and visited Gramedia Bookstore to buy some novels. Oh, I also went to Honeymoon Dessert (note, I've been craving for glutinous rice with vanilla sauce throughout a month).

I gave this (plus a pencil-case) for Ilona :)

I bought Minx by Julia Quinn and Prince Charming by Julie Garwood, I finished Minx 2 days ago

Heaven X)~

My drawings update:

 

Yep, I drew so many stuffs these days :)

Lastly, since today is CNY, I want to say Happy Chinese New Year for those who celebrate! Gong Xi Fa Cai, wish you many lucks for this Rabbit Year :) I didn't take many photos today, I was focusing my eyes on Angbao :P

 

I'm so happy as I received many $$$ today ;P

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

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.
