Ho Ho Ho

Merry Christmas!!

Yay!!
Finally my favorite time of year has come.
The day before Christmas was absolutely hectic.
I woke up very early in the morning, finish Diana's order, went to MKG for last minute Christmas shopping, go back home to pack the pink birdies, go to the courrier and found out that they had closed (it was 8.30 PM. Of course they closed already), stay there for about 20 minutes begging for them to deliver my goods, and finally i bribed them, go back to MKG to finish the shopping.
Got back home at about 11 PM, wrap the presents, slept at 2 AM.

My honey has been sick from days before Christmas, up till now.
Last week, his body temperature was so high and he could barely move. Went to the doctor on Saturday and insisted to go to Bandung on Sunday.
Saturday Night -> no hope at all of going nowhere
Sunday Morning -> jumping like a little boy, made me think that the previous night was just a dream.
The week after, his condition was not so well, but still ok. Could work normally.
BUT, 2 days before Christmas, who kept on coughing and coughing all night and all day.
And on 1 day after Christmas, I followed him to the cave of sickness. Blah.
My throat still burning but I no sickness could hold me down =D.

Anyway, enough with the long words, let us see pictures!!
On Christmas day, I woke up at 6 AM, and go to church at 7 AM.
The mass started at 8 but we went early because every year, on Christmas and Easter, churches were all so packed.
But.. when we got to the church, it was still almost empty. Where did all the people go?
My sisters slept in the church. Ha ha ha.
After church, we went back home and start exchanging presents. The presents were more to quantity than quantity, so we just wrap whatever we had. For example, I gave my uncle 1 litre of Teh Kotak. Most of the presents were food.

My honey was there too. Yay..

And last but not least, this is the Christmas Frame that a dear customer ordered for her friend.
Merry (belated) Christmas, everyone!!

Happy Mother's Day

Last week I made 2 moms in a week.
Teehee..
Has nothing to do with Mother's Day, just a pure coincidence.
The first one is the working mom who is also a cook.

And the other one is a mom whose profession is as a stewardess at Garuda Indonesia.
I was happy with both of them =).

A mother is an angel that God has sent to guide us in our life. And when our mother is no longer with us, she will still watch us from afar, cause that is what an angel do =)

Love,
Ain

2.32 am

It's 2.32 am.
Im so desperate that i hv spent my days doing my clay but still i need more time.

Anyway,
Just sent honey an email.
I miss him so ;(

Heaven's Smile

My bestfriend's mom passed away this morning.
..

Met her a few weeks ago.
She was not in her best shape, but her spirit and love fills the room.
Only few words she could mumble and few things she could remember, but she didnt fail to make me smile.
She was so sick but she didnt want to admit it.
She keeps on answering, "ga sakit. Ngapain sakit. Buang2 duit aja."

I am so proud of her.
Tante, you may no longer be with us, but ur memories will always remain in our heart.

Tia my friend, please be strong :'(


This photo was taken a few weeks ago.
A big soul in such a small body.
Be happy with om up there, tante :)
God loves u!

It's 3 Days to Christmas Eve..

Still i dont feel nothing.

Is it a cursed to grow old?
That the excitement of seing the world, to live, and to play, are slowly but surely fade away.

Up till i was about 20, a lot of things excite me, especially Christmas.
There were 3 days in a year that i love the most:
- Christmas
- my Birthday
- Valentine's day
Yup!! Christmas was 1st on my list. I LOVE it!! I love the decorations, i love the songs, i love Christmas movies, and especially, i love the feeling that somehow i know, Christmas Is going to spread its Magic n make everyone's hearts warm and hope fulfilled.
Aah..
Looking back, life was fun when i was young.
People still giving out Christmas Cards. I got a lit every year! I still keep thim all on my closet. Sometimes, when i feel like i want to dive in the memories, i'll open them one by one, smiling, and suddenly, im 15 yo all over again.

Since the monster called technology getting bigger and smarter, people dont send 'paper cards' anymore. They send SMS to send wishes.
SmS was quite ok, though. You still have to make the effort to type and pay the SMS fee.
And to make it even worse, facebook, bbm, and twitter are now the top 3 people use to communicate. And sometimes people just Retweet a greeting as if it is his.

Oh well. The clock is ticking away.
Hapoy Tuesday everyone!

Zzzz

It's 1.48 am and i'm (finally) on my bed.
I had just watched the final episode of Australian Next Top Model Cycle 5.
These are the top 2:


Cassi (left) and Tahnee (right)
Both of them were still so young. Cassi was 16 and Tahnee was 17.
And.. Tahnee was the winner. Yay!!
She's beautiful n very lovely.
Such a sweetheart ;)

Ok. It's time to hit the sack.
1.54 am
Gotta get up at 5.30am to accompany honey to take his sister to the airport. And then, a long and tiring day awaits me.

If i make a list, it would be like this:
1. Airport
2. Find black white polka fabric
3. Finish 3 clay figurines
4. Finish Diana's birdies
5. Set up the frame that is about to be sent by today
6. House misc (this one alone can be defined in a long list)
7. Go to office
8. .....

La La La

When my honey is liking a song so much, he'll play it over and over again until when the music has stopped, it is still playing in my head. This one is a song by The Corrs.
He said that the lyric and the tune are beautiful. I think the lyric is not that beautiful, but the tune, absolutely.

Looking In The eyes of Love

I wonder should I tell you
About all the crazy things that I have done
I've been hiding all my life
When I should have stayed
I tried to run...

I was searching for an answer
In a world so full of strangers
But what I found was never really enough
Now that I've found you
I'm looking in the eyes of love (In the eyes of love)

Baby you've been good to me
Oh, so much more that you could know, yeah, yeah
I never thought that I would find
Someone who's so sweet and kind
Like you...

Please believe me when I say
This time I won't run away
I swear be all the heaven's stars above
Now that I've found you
I'm looking in the eyes of love

Looking in the eyes of love...
I can see forever, yeah...
I can see you and me
Walking in this world together

Oh, my heart's found a hope...
I've been dreaming of...
Now that I've found you
I'm looking in the eyes of love

Looking in the eyes of love...
I can see (forever), I can see forever
I can see you and me
Walking in this world together

Oh, my heart's found a hope
I've been dreaming of...
Now that I've found you, I've found you
I'm looking in the eyes of love..., yeah

Oh...

Daily Sweetness

My lil sist is on her school break and she often gets bored n doesnt know what to do. This reminds me of one of my fave tv show, Phineas and Ferb. They are geniouses! They always know how to fill their free time with useful stuffs. Like what they always say "we know what we're gonna do today!".

Anyway, these are some things my sist has done to kill the free time.
Nail polishing the colorless nails


Making me toast. Yum


Taking pics of herself with silly expressions :)

Mie Ayam Bumbu Mie Goreng

Ive been craving for noodle lately. So yesterday i went to DBB, my school for 9 years, to eat. There are 2 noodles at DBB: 1 in SMA n 1 in SD.
I like the one in SD. Not that it tastes like heaven, but there are memories in every bite. I used to eat mie ayam with bumbu mie goreng. But i was not so lucky, when i went there yesterday, the noodle n fried dumpling have sold out. So i just bought INdomie Goreng :(.

Nothin has changed around there. Event the enci2 looked the same.





My Indomie Goreng with Chopped Chicken.


Vegetarian pempek. Yum.


Voila! All hv gone (to my stomach)!


This is the entrance of DBB. They use multi language now.

Fat Burger

Last Sunday i went to Fat Burger in Plaza Indonesia for lunch. It has been two weeks in a row.
My Dad used to work part time there as a waiter when he was in State. It was like 30 years ago. Good ol' time. He was so excited when he knew we now have it in Jakarta.



Fatburger was founded by Lovie Yancey in Los Angeles, California in 1952. And while it is a fast
food restaurant, the food is cooked and made
to order. You can pick what you want to put in ur burger, like add pickle, no mustard, add egg, no tomato and so on and so on.

Im not a burger lover cause i dont eat beef and pork and many other things. But i tried a bite n i think the beef was so good.
I read somewhre that Fat Burger use Angus Beef No wonder it was so juicy!!


There are 5 burger sizes: S, M, L, and XXL, and the difference is on how many patties in a burger. S: 1, M: 2, L: 3, and XXL: 4. The S combo (burger+drink+fries/onion ring) is around 55.000 IDR n XXL combo (the most expensive there) is 118.000 IDR.

Beside burger, they also have chicken wings, hotdog, fat fries, skinny fries, onion rings, vegetarian burger, the delicious milkshake, and many more. And they also hv meal package called Baby Fat. Yum yum.

Hot dog (around 18.000 IDR)


Chicken wings (around 18.000 IDR)


Their milkshake (around 25.000 IDR) is so good! Must try!


And there is also a cool juke box on the corner. And you can pick any song for free!



For extra information, here I quote a statement from ita facebook page;
"We use only 100% USDA lean beef.
Fresh, never frozen.
Our onion rings come from onions, not the freezer.
Our shakes are made with real hand-scooped ice cream.
Our fries and onion rings are cooked in 100% cholesterol-free oil."

So convincing right. So what are u waiting for? Just go go go!

No More Jemi!

I just found out that Joe Jonas n Demi Lovato have broke up!
So sad..



They were so cute..


This was what Demi tweeted:
“ There are so many crazy rumors flying around today. I’d like to clear a few things up. First, Joe and I did split but it wasn’t over the phone. Things didn’t work out but we’ll remain friends. Secondly, I am NOT dating anybody already. Nothing is more important to me than the relationship I have with my fans.. Just thought you guys should know this. ”

And this was what Joe tweeted:
“ Demi and I knew going into our romantic relationship that it may not be an easy one. I realize over the time we have shared together that I feel I care more about our friendship right now. It was my choice to breakup but I love her as a friend. She’s been there for me when I needed her. I will continue to be her friend and be there for her. ”

Rumour has it earlier today that Joe broke Demi through telephone. And to make it even worse, it was not him who talked to Demi but it was his dad, on his behalf. Well, is that true? I thoughy they r going to last! It makes me think that Joe is auch a coward. He broke up with Taylor Swift through telephone too, right?
Oh well..
I just wish they will tweet again later something like "Gotcha! We were just kidding"



Maybe best friend just cant be the best boyfriend/ girlfriend.

Love,
Ain
