Bubbling..

Akhir-akhir ini pikiran d kepala lagi penuh.. thinking about my wedding prep, finishing the report for my last job, and again the wedding prep.. it's all so confusing..
Ada bener nya juga yang dikata orang.. kalo lagi persiapan pernikahan, be more patient, hold your tongue and re-think of all the things you want to say, especially when you're in a high temper and lot's of other things. Joining two families is not a simple thing, and both of you, the groom and bride to be are the connectors of the two.. there might be some missunderstanding, mismatched culture, different point of views and lot's of other things that can cause an arguments..
We had that.. and it's not easy.. and both of us has to choose words wisely talking to each others' parents.. not again if you add our own problems..

I bought a wedding magazine today.. and the words from the editor moves me.. I cried reading that.. it's about forgiveness and love..

I think I'm just going to share it here.. and it's in Indonesian..

Letter from Diany
Wedding in Pastel

Halo pembaca,

Apa kabar? Semoga semua dalam keadaan baik, bahkan Luar Biasa! Saya sendiri, dua bulan ini mengalami hal-hal yang DAHSYAT! Dahsyat prestasi, tapi juga dahsyat emosi. Saya menyesal, dan juga tidak bangga mengakui bahwa dua bulan ini saya ada bertengkar dengan suami, dengan anak, dengan mama. Saya sungguh menyesal, sekaligus menjadi bahan refleksi untuk saya yang ingin saya sharing-kan disini:
"Sadarkah kita bahwa kita melampiaskan 99% kemarahan justru kepada orang yang paling kita cintai?"

Simak kisah nyata berikut ini:

Fiona: "Yang paling kamu cintai di dunia ini siapa?"
Albert: "Kamu dong!!"
Fiona: "Menurut kamu, aku ini siapa?"
Albert: " (berpikir sejenak lalu menatap Fiona dengan pasti.) Kamu tulang rusukku!!! Karena Tuhan melihat bahwa Adam kesepian. Saat Adam tidur, Tuhan mengambil rusuk dari Adamdan menciptakan Hawa. Semua pria mencari tulang rusuknya yang hilang dan saat menemukan wanita untuknya, tidak lagi merasakan sakit di hati..."

Setelah menikah, pasangan itu mengalami masa yang indah dan manis untuk sesaat. Setelah itu, pasangan muda ini mulai tenggelam dalam kesibukkan masing-masing dan kepenatan hidup yang ada. Hidup mereka menjadi membosankan. Mereka mulai menyisihkan impian dan cinta satu sama lain. Mereka mulai bertengkar dan pertengkaran itu menjadi semakin panas. Pada suatu hari pada akhir sebuah pertengkaran, Fiona lari keluar rumah. Saat tiba di seberang jalan, dia berteriak, "Kamu nggak cinta lagi sama aku!!" Albert sangat membenci keidakdewasaan Fiona dan secara spontan balik berteriak, "Aku menyesal kita menikah! Kamu ternyata bukan tulang rusukku!!"

Tiba-tiba Fiona menjadi terdiam dan berdiri terpaku beberapa saat. Albert menyesal akan apa yang sudah dia ucapkan, tetapi seperti air yang telah tertumpah tidak mngkin untuk diambil kembali. Dengan berlinang air mata, Fiona kembali ke rumah dan mengambil barang-barangnya, bertekad untuk berpisah. "Kalau aku bukan tulang rusukmu, biarkan aku pergi! Biarkan kita berpisah dan mencari pasangan sejati masing-masing."

Lima tahun berlalu. Albert tidak menikah lagi, tetapi berusaha mencari tahu kehidupan Fiona. Fiona pernah ke luar negeri tetapi sudah kembali. Dia menikah dengan seorang asing dan bercerai. Albert agak kecewa bahwa Fiona tidak menunggunya kembali. Di tengah malam yang sunyi dia meminum kopinya dan merasakan sakit di hatinya. Tetapi dia tidak sanggup mengakui bahwa dia merindukan Fiona.

Suatu hari, mereka akhirnya kembali bertemu. Di airport, di tempat di mana banyak terjadi pertemuan dan perpisahan, mereka dipisahkan hanya oleh sebuah dinding pembatas.

Albert: "Apa kabar?"
Fiona: "Baik... Apakah kamu sudah menemukan tulang rusukmu yang hilang?"
Albert: "Belum."
FIona: "Aku terbang ke New York dengan penerbangan berikut. Aku akan kembali 2 minggu lagi. Telepon aku kalau kamu sempat. Kamu tahu nomor telepon kita, tidak ada yang berubah. Fiona tersenyum manis, lalu berlalu."

Satu minggu kemudian ternyata FIona adalah salah satu korban menara WTC. Malam itu, sekali lagi Albert mereguk kopinya dan kembali merasakan sakit di hatinya. Akhirnya dia sadar bahwa sakit itu adalah karena Fiona, tulang rusuknya sendiri yang telah dengan bodohnya dia patahkan.

Kita melampiaskan 99% kemarahan justru kepada orang yang paling kita cintai. Dan akibatnya adalah fatal. Seringkali penyesalan itu datang belakangan. Akibatnya setelah kita menyadari kesalahan kita, semua sudah terlambat. Karena itu jagalah dan sayangilah orang yang kita cintai dengan segenap hati. Sebelum mengucapkan sesuatu pikirlah dahulu, apakah kata-kata yang diucapkan akan menyakiti orang yang kau cintai? Kalau iya, sebaiknya jangan diucapkan, karena akan semakin besar resiko kehilangan orang yang dicintai.

Sebaliknya, bagi yang kena lampiasan amarah, ingatlah bahwa itu berarti kita adalah salah satu orang yang paling dicintai orang yang marah itu. Dengan menyadari hal ini, saya harap pengampunan menjadi lebih mudah. Dan bila dalam suatu relasi ada Kasih dan Pengampunan, apakah yang sulit diatasi? Tidak ada. Tidak ada yang mustahil di dalam kasih dan Pengampunan.

Maka dengan semangat Kasih dan Pengampunan, saya ucapkan kepada calon pengantin (maupun pembaca yang sudah menikah): "Selamat menempuh hidup pernikahan yang adventurous yet beautiful..."

Diany P. Chandra

To be honest, I cried reading this.. seringkali aku marah, atau pasangan ku yang marah.. pernah juga sampai teriak-teriak, we lost control. But then, just like Diany said.. most of the times, we regret the angry words we said towards each other..
Kadang-kadang kita bisa menemukan ketidak cocokkan dengan pasangan, namun aku berpikir, this is my commitment, he's the one I choose to be the one I'm going to spend the rest of my life with. I love him for who he is, all his good and bad.

Tentang tulang rusuk seperti yang disebut dalam cerita, aku tidak tahu dan mungkin tidak bisa dengan percaya diri mengatakan "aku tulang rusuk nya". Aku merasa, bahwa itu semua Tuhan lah yang menentukan. Untuk sekarang, aku hanya bisa bilang.. ya, dia pria yang aku cintai dan aku pun berharap dia sama mencintai ku.. sedihnya sedihku, bahagianya pun jadi bahagiaku.. menjadi bagian dalam hidupnya adalah mimpiku..
Aku ingin menjalani semua ini, I'm taking the chances that love is giving me.. and I will not regret every single thing. If this is the plan God has laid for me, what more can I ask beside praying to Him with all gratitude.

I hope God will bless us both & smooth our way towards the marriage.. looking forward for our adventurous & beautiful marriage life soon!!

Him & photography..

I think I have shared this before..
My fiancee started to love photography for about (more or less) two years ago.. and yep he's loving it more and more.. I saw his works, his trainings.. going hunting here and there, making new friends from photography club and finally made his own group..
With his friends, he saved some money to invite models, make up artist and also to upgrade their tools, photography gadget from lenses, to light, other photography accessories and of course the camera itself.
I like photography myself.. maybe coz its in the blood.. my dad used to like it too, he still tho.. it's just that he got some problem with his eyes that gives him some limitation to continue on photography..
I like using LOMO cameras.. haha.. yea.. they're really jadul and a bit ma fan to deal with.. since it uses negative film and they need to be processed first before we can see our shots results.
I don't really understand using DLSR cameras yet.. they have so many features, but I hope to be able to operate one soon or later.. so I can help my fiancee a bit. hehe..

By the way.. I'm really proud of him.. he has made this hobby become a business.. with some of his best mates, he made a photography service, BITe Photography..
They already made quite a lot projects till now.. from birthdays, fashion shows, pre-weds and weddings.. wee.. so, are you interested? just click on the Facebook profile to find out (^^,)*

I'm wishing him all the best with this business and I hope I'll be able to help him..
I'm starting to help him at the office too, his main job beside photography.. although up to now, still haven't help him a lot besides helping him arrange the room.. I'll be learning a lot soon I hope.. *fingers crossed*

Looking for the dress..

Wow.. last Thursday I just had a new experience.. trying on a wedding dress!!!!
Like the other engaged girls out there and the wedding that is coming up.. this is something that's written on a MUST DO list.. haha..

So yea.. I was planning to go there with my lovely friend, Yeane.. but she phoned me last night, that she's pregnant!! (Wee.. luv it, congrats to her & hubby) and according to her condition and last time experience, she must have a bed-rest.. so she can't come and help me find my wedding needs.. well, it's oke lah.. I hope her condition will get better & the child is strong (^^,)*
So, went there with my little brother instead.. since he doesn't have much things to do, just counting days till the graduation day, which is next week.. hehe..

Then, we went to two places.. I looooove the first..
I don't know why.. perhaps because when I asked the second one.. do you have another one (models)? They just came up with dresses in the same cutting, and just different material, beads, additional lace, etc.. but overall are just the same.. while I mean is different shape.. like ball-gowns or like a mermaid ones.. both of us just got bored.. and then they said, we have different collections, but it's up stairs, the VIP ones and cost triplets than the ones down here.. what??! kamsia deh..
While the first.. I think they or actually she, have fresh ideas.. and yea.. I just like it.
It is true, the second one is known already and the fitting room is huuuge.. tapi mungkin dah jatuh cintrong tu ya susah kali yaa.. hahaha..

Oh well, I'm going back there (the 1st place) again Tuesday, tomorrow with my Mum.. (^^,)*
I already picked two shapes.. whether it is the half mermaid that will make me look slim (ohh.. all women love that) and longer legs, or the ball-gown which I think is so romantic.. hihi..

* extra to the story..
at the end of the fitting trip.. my brother said; " Sis, it feels really different you know.. seeing girls fitting regular dress on dept store and seeing this.. when you came out of the fitting room with the wedding dress.. it felt so.. WOW!! and you're NOT my bride!! I wonder how I would feel when I see mine later.."
haha..

I wonder how Indra would feel if he came fitting with me.. hmm..

I'm engaged.. (^^,)*

*speechless.. hahaha..
I just smile all day.. so so so happy.. hehe..
Like my fiancee said (*cieee...) "We passed the semi-final, let's get ready for the final round!" woohoo.. final round as in the wedding.. ('^,)*

Woke up early this morning to have a simple make up at the beauty salon, maklum deh g iso make up dewe.. I wonder what time should I wake up for the wedding day.. my friend woke up at 3 in the early morning.. oh my.. I have to prepare my stamina *jia you..

Indra asked our friends to take our photos and a lil'video.. I was so nervous, not used to so much attention on me.. a bit salting but I try to relax.. haha..

In a Chinese tradition, the girl should not be seen (or should be hidden in the room) when they guy came.. so, I went to my room when Indra came.. tried to take a peek from my window, but couldn't see a thing.. only his Mum's friend in a flowery dress, hehe.. sweet dress.. I like it. Then I heard voices in the family room telling me that they already there.. made me so curious.. what happen, what are they doing.. I spent the 10 minutes checking the dress (it's a bit loose since the day I bought it, lost some weight, but it's okay), checked my nails hand and toes.. and then my Mum came.. "come on.. let's go.." she said.. *dag dig dug..

*smile smile.. ahh.. I saw my babe.. he's so cute, all shaved.. hmm..
I was told to go around pai2 to the elders and shake hands with all families..
Hugs and kisses to Indra's parents and they put a necklace on me as a symbol that I'm proposed and we're engaged.. different with the western yah, you just kneel, show her the ring, she said yes and you're engaged.. in eastern culture, you need the whole family to be there, haha..

Then we took photos, haha.. had lunch prepared by my Mum at our house and more photos.. hehehe.. so I'm officially engaged and not available, hahaha..

After the party, we also went to his (other) grandma's house and deliver some engagement hampers to families & friends. I really like the hampers, Indra's Mum made it for us from felt.. so cute (>.<)* our friends like them, especially the cookies, candies and food inside, especially bee cheng hiang, hahaha.. a one of a kind hampers we have & it's everybody's favorites, YAY!!

The day was great! I got a new sister, and two sets of parents, Indra has another mama and papa angkat in Jakarta, haha.. so I have three sets now (>.<)*
And later that night, we went to see movies, two married couple, one engaged couple and sweet little sister.. we watched Whisper.. I kept the movie ticket.. haha.. this is our first movie as an engaged, hoho..

So desu, I'm going to bed now..
Good night everyone.. sweet dreams.. (^^,)*

Spreading the Korean Syndrome..

Woohoo!! as you already know.. I'm in a really Korean mood right now, or since Alex. Btw, I have memorized Saranghao's lyrics.. hehe.. I'm going to sing it the next time I had a chance to karaoke, hahaha.. well, if I can find it on the list ('^,)*
When I went to Pasar Atum yesterday, I also looked for some K-Pop CDs, can't found any Clazziquai apalagi Alex, but I found Wonder Girls, Korean soundtrack albums, some compilations..
Haven't listen to them all yet, but I like Wonder Girls.. the song, Nobody is kinda cute, the MV is funny too.. I embeded it here..

Cute eh? hahaha..
Besides getting myself to know more about Korean, I'm also spreading it to my boyfriend, haha..
I sent him a copy of Alex CD with my personal CD cover, designed by me with the help of photofunia for the TV thing. I hope he likes it. (^^,)*

Pagi ini bangun pagi-pagi, soal nya mesti ke Gereja dulu, ikutan misa pagi sekalian kaya misa merayakan Imlek gitu lah..
Di Gereja ada Barongsai juga loh.. dibentuk sama anak2 Mudika, secara taon lalu (kalo g dua taon lalu), mereka pengen nyari dana untuk beli keyboard baru.. lumayan juga kan? Bisa buat olahraga, sarana kumpul2 and cari dana untuk kegiatan Mudika d Gereja.

Abis dari Gereja, pulang rumah.. belom sarapan euy! Emak masak Mie Sua.. Romo juga ikutan sarapan d rumah.. secara pas abis misa, dia ngajakin makan (soale lagi sendiri, Romo satunya keluar kota), tapi kita g mau soal nya tau d rumah udah dmasakkin makanan, jadi Romo nya aja yang kita ajak k rumah.. Makanan nya beliau juga digotong; sate, tempe bacem ama rujak. Tempenya enak loh, hahaha..

Trus abis sarapan, mulai deh tamu2 berdatangan and si Romo pamit mau kerumah umat yg lain, udah janjian gitu deh.. banyaaak banget sodara2 ama kenalan papa yg ke rumah, abis gitu gantian kita jg kerumah sodara e papa yg lain.. aku jg dah lama g ketemu ama sepupu2, ada seng dah hamil 8 bulan, abis dari taon lalu aku baru ketemu dia sekarang.. hehehe..
Ramee rameee..

Ohya, sama Indra juga.. trus Cen gantian ke rumah dia, kunjungin mami papi e Indra, and jalan2 and karaoke juga.. hahaha..
At last, aku nyanyi dengan suara kenceng and bukan background aja.. soale cuma berdua, langsung putus urat malu, hahaha..
Care for another one beb? hehehe..

Seharian ini seneng, gembira and capek jadi satu.. hehe.. puas? dapet angpao juga.. hehe.. dah gede gini malu juga seh bai2 trus dikasih angpao gitu.. tapi namanya juga tradisi.. sapa yang nolak, hahaha..

(^^,)* Pas malemnya..
Ngumpul2 ama mama, papa and adek2 ku d kamar sehabis doa (syukur gitu kita masih bisa kumpul bareng, dikasih kesehatan & selalu diberkati oleh -Nya).
Adek2ku mainan PS sama papa.. Cen nemenin mama, ngebantuin bales sms temen2e.. trus mikir.. mikir.. YA'ELAH!!! ama mama papa Cen & adek belum pada bai2!!! baru keinget..
Saking sibuknya kesana sini, trus ngurus tamu2 sampe mama papa sendiri belum d bai2 in, bilang Gong Xi, moga panjang umur, dll.. LUPA!! Jadi lah kita berenam d kamar jam 11 malem bai2 bai2 - an, peluk sana sini, cipika cipiki.. hehehe..

Mulai dari petasan yang meledak, kehabisan kertas angpao, sampe mama papa yang kelupaan diselametin..
Kayak nya taon baru kali ini bener2 ga terlupakan deh!

Our 3rd Anniversary..

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009!!!
and
HAPPY 3rd ANNIVERSARY for Indra & me (^^,)*

Wow! The time has passed and here we are again, at the beginning of a new year..
I'm so thankful for everything.. all the blessings my family & I received last year.. so many that sometimes I can't believe it's even true. Thank you God.
I hope the coming year will be the same and perhaps (in God's will), will be more and more blessings to come, hehe..

As for my relationship with Indra, we just had our 3rd anniversary.. YAY!!
We've been through a lot, a very very long distance at first from Indonesia to China, closer then from Surabaya to Banjarmasin.. happy times, tremendous times, sad times, fighting times, and all.. But I believe our love's growing and more and more stronger each day..
Hopefully, the road for the next stage of our relationship is smooth and blessed. Amien.
Doa'in yaaa..



This is a video Indra made for me.. our 3rd Anniversary..
I love you, Indra (^^,)*

P.S.
We went out together today.. hehe.. 1st movie of the year, Bedtime Stories. cute one. luv it!
