What I Read These Days..

i finished reading the Buru Island Tetralogy (Buru Quartet) of Pramoedya Ananta Toer when i was in junior high school :

Bumi Manusia // This Earth of Mankind
Anak Semua Bangsa // Child of All Nations
Jejak Langkah // Footsteps
Rumah Kaca // House of Glass



Reading in library for school tasks, i didnt think that these books were so great..
then i bought another books from him named CALONARANG and PANGGIL AKU KARTINI SAJA, those two books were *two thumbs up.. :)
Feeling curious about him, i bought the new version of Buru Quartet, and started to read again..
My favorite character in this story is Nyai Ontosoroh, and i think i will post lots of thinks about her in this blog.. :)

i put oversize glasses, curly my hair, and dressed like a young girl..then we're ready to gooooooo...

we always have something to talk about, to share about.. there's no silent moment while we're driving there..it took 2hours to get to Solo..

Boring Evening

second day of my holiday..
i felt so boring..nothing to do..no one to go with..except my bff monica..
then we just went to the mall, shopping, and having pizza..

sooooooo boringggg...
when we were on pizza hut, Ambarukmo Plaza, we planned our cruel grudge on our friend who cancelled the holiday.. *smirking..hihi..

then the ice cream cheer me up.. :)

i love ice cream.. !!!!!!!!!!!

Sipping Wine To Calm Me Down

right after i knew that the holiday was ruined and messed up..
i went back to my house and grabbed my dad's wine..
*he cant take any wine anymore considering his health..

then i was spending 4nights in a row sipping wine..and more cheap wine..and more..
instead of being calm, i went more temperamental and emotional..
i could speak soooo fast and most of it was just about my friend who messed up the holiday..
*hahahahaha..

i put 'party' label on this posting..because i spent few night sharing wine with my bestfriends..
*mwahh..mwah..

He Said 'i might go to bandung'

arrrrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh...

24hours before our not-so-well-planned holiday, my friend who supposed to go with us just text me saying that he might go to bandung..his family asked him to..
and all he can say was *bingung..bingung..bingung..

me and my bestfriend, monica, were very upset..
we planned to buy durian, the cheap ones, then hit them to his head..
we also planned to buy fireworks, ones with loud sound, and blast them on his house..
we would like to give him *cumangkem award (*big mouth)...

this is our simple plan, after we did buy maps and having short meeting..i mean very short..

Hoorayyyyyyyyyyyyy Holidayyyyyyyyyyyyy

in the middle of sample tag for buyers.. *exhausting..


lots of email, stationary, queries...


and bunch of files and paperworks...


i was browsing for holidayyyy...yipppeeeee.....yayaayyyyy...
me and my friends would like to go to East Java and if we still have energy then we continue to Bali :)
cant wait..cant wait..cant wait..

Mini Bite Snack

my dad bought me these mini cakes (i forgot what the name is) when we were in Ngee Ann City, heading to the medical clinic..
he said 'take this, eat while you're waiting'
love you papa.. *mwah


they cost 5SGD for 3pcs..quite pricey..
but they tasted well..
i got chocolate, grape, and orange..yummm...

Mr. Edward Nainggolan

i love my dad so much..
lots of people said im just exactly like him..
the way we think..we talk..and the characters..


this is when we were on a plane Jogja - Singapore


arrived at Changi, Singapore


walking on Orchard Road


waiting for a doctor in medical clinic, Orchard Road


on the way homeeeeeeeeeeee....
at Changi, after expensive burger lunch and all my dad said was 'ga enak' (not good).. :p

I Look Fine

i look fine..like everything is ok..
only monica said "there's sadness in your eyes"
picture was taken right away she dropped me home..

im sad..

well..i do look ok..but yeah im totally sad because of my dad's health..
i cannot communicate what i feel to anybody..i lost that ability..
i remember what Bono said on his song 'sometimes you cant make it on your own'
maybe i should share some more with people around me

My Velvet House (inside)

so this is the inside..
this is the back of the house..on the right side there's a door to the main room.
the small room is a toilet, and the left room is supposed to be maid room. but we wont have any maid, so that would be room for our project..Animal Kingdom Projects..
the left side is kitchen..

yaaa....i mean this kitchen..pretty messy ya..
need to get stove and some kitchen utensils..
the things that i cant wait to buy is set of plates, cups, and cutie cutie mugs..


this is the main room..
near the sink i'll put fridge..and in front of it i will design my own bar counter..the small one..like 60x120cm.. and put 4 barstools that i found in retail shop here in jogja..the purple suede barstool!!
in the middle of this room, instead of having comfy pricey sofa, i'll get carpet and lots lots of pillows to chill and relax with my friends..
in the right side of this room, there are 2 bedrooms..
one for me and one for Nana, each room has its own bathroom :)

oh and i will design a room divider-cabinet to divide the living room and the main room :)

this is the small small living room..
just like main room, i'd like to put carpet (the nice one) and some throwpillows..
may be small low coffee table, rattan basket for newspaper, and floor lamp..


must be a comfy houseeee.... *yippppeeeee...

My Velvet House (on progress)

i will rent a house with my friend-become-sibling, Faradyna Nana.
but the house is not finished yet, so i have a very good opportunity to choose the colour..and i also want to order the wooden fence in front of the house..

i think this would be a velvet house, since i choosed purple paint..i would like also buy new lilac sofa and some furniture..but i allocate my money for my dad's medical need, so i prefer to buy carpet instead and lots of throwpillows..
then the others, like bar counter :) and bar stool and television and fridge and so on and so on..will be bought later..


this is the side yard.. yard????? its not wider than 2m??? hahaha..whatever..
i plan to put grass, and white stone.. i also want to order a copper lantern from my supplier..
just few small lanterns and put on the side of it.. :)

Personal Project(s)

wake up..

the daily routines just make me used to the ordinary robotic days
i hear, but i dont listen
i touch, but i dont feel
i look, but i dont see

i love working
i love pitching
i love new projects
i love new buyers
i love trade exhibition
i love bullshiting people

but i become so ordinary and forget some of my dreams
i want to work in ogilvy
i want to continue my study
i want to learn graphic stuff
i want to speak spain & french
i want to be able to sketch
i want to be on the same table with jack trout and talk about his 'positioning' theory..
i want to build my small velvet house, with small garden, and small puppy
i want to be a manhattan bitch with black blazer walking fast holding starbucks coffee
i want to do photography
i want to have my own art gallery
i want to develop my own clothing line
i want to have small ice cream shop

i dont know when im gonna start
i have commitment to what i do right now, and its gonna be a total commitment..no excuse..

but i will do..
soon..i will have my small velvet house, with small garden, and small puppy
then i have more time for myself to do my personal project(s)
