Duo "gengges"

2011-01-14T07:29:00.000-08:00

Our managing editor give us title "Duo Gengges" because we always make annoyed voices when we call her, and definitely we always hang together. Sometimes we called ourself "dumb & dumber," hahahaha...

*Gengges is an indonesia slank for disturbing other people...

But, she doesn't mean to... It's like a "love calls," show that she love us

Oftenly we took some pictures, when we had nothing to do :D

Bali Trip

I found treasure

2009-04-24T09:15:00.001-07:00

After quite a long time I forgot that I still have "fringe bag". My dad bought in Bandung (I guess) and it still look good. You know, I almost buy fringe bag in Luna Maya's store but still arguing with myself (cause it's a bit pricey) til the day I remember that I already have one, and look better, and save my money...hahaha...

jacket: pull & bear

shoes: gift from my gals

Back to Solo

2009-04-24T08:17:00.000-07:00

First of all, I want to introduce the heritage city in Indonesia (my dad versions :p) SOLO...Solo isn't a big city, but the people are so friendly and still retain their heritage. We can easily find old lady wearing kebaya and batik, the king servants always serve their king faithfully with their uniform, roundsman peddle their traditional meal, and many more...

Solo is my Dad's blood...If you ask him where he is from, then he would say "I'm a solonese & Solo is a great fabulous amazing city" with pride. I adore his demeanor to this country especially his city, cause nowadays, youngers like me don't take notice about culture. He reminds me to not forget our root. We should proud of our country, no matter what the condition is...No place like home right? ;)

I will show you what I have got from Solo, here it is :p

rattan hat, wooden batik necklace

Give me some ROCK

2009-04-13T08:49:00.000-07:00

After about 2 months not doing "blogging" thing, I think my brain wont work well...hahaha, kinda stuck to write. But I want to write, hmmm. I'm just going to tell you about this pictures, I have two little brothers. One is big enough (cause he already flown away to Surabaya to study in a technique national university) and the little one is going to celebrate his 10th birthday on 22 june. So my little brother can I declare as my son because the range of age between me & him hold to 16 years. Hahaha, kidding...

Continuing the story, one day my little brother wore a rock star look alike T-shirt and I said to myself "wow, it look cool" and I want to try it with version of mine. Fortunately, my little brother –that I told you is big enough, gave me his T-shirt that he'd never wear cause he think it's too big with graffiti or rock star pic. Lucky me, now I'm not confused anymore about how to wear that big T-shirt in a comfy look and still with my version ;)

It's FREE!!!!!!

2009-03-09T05:47:00.000-07:00

I just found this wonderful site from my friend Mona...And I just want to thank to Jannypie for her great blog background design and give us as a free...Yayyyyyy, my blog is now more pretty ;)

Unpredictable Season

2009-03-08T08:29:00.000-07:00

Lately in Jakarta, seasons are so unpredictable. On the morning till daylight the sun shines so strong that we can melt if we doesn't bring hat or umbrella and just walk like we used to be...Oh no we can't, our head is the witnesses. I only walked for about 15 minutes and when I touched my head I felt guilty not to covered it with anything. It's soooo hot! And suddenly I felt a bit dizzy...

So I guess this outfit doesn't suit if I walked on the daylight- because of my turtleneck...Hahaha, wrong costume ;p

May the flowers be with you

2009-03-04T20:38:00.000-08:00

Maybe if master Yoda was a girl he would say "may the flowers be with you", flowers indicate with women, they're definitely suits to people who fell in love. Every girl likes to get flowers, even me which considered a very unromantic person and doesn't idolise romantic movie. I prefer comedy ;p

Flowers raise our energy with their beautiful look, various sense...So, anybody who are willing to give me flowers I would accept that with open arms :)

La isla Bonita

2009-03-02T09:05:00.000-08:00

Why I want to sing La isla Bonita everytime I saw me or any other girl wearing flower in our hair? Cause to me it sounds so feminime, let's sing...

Last night I dreamt of San Pedro

Just like I'd never gone, I knew the song

A young girl with eyes like the desert

It all seems like yesterday, not far away

Tropical the island breeze

All of nature wild and free

This is where I long to be

La isla bonita

And when the samba played

The sun would set so high

Ring through my ears and sting my eyes

Your spanish lullaby

See fashion through my Mom

2009-02-26T10:34:00.001-08:00

I made this title first when I posted my mom's pictures in facebook. Then I got good response from my friends especially Vanessa Datore - friend from modepass, that asked me whether she can post about my mom in her blog or not. Of course I said yes, my mom was so happy when I told her that my friends are very much like her pictures. Plus a sweet girl Vanessa made a lovely post about her. I enjoy seeing my mom's old pictures cause it's so inspiring. She has a great body, gorgeous black hair, elegant face, beautiful smile. She's like an angel for me...I love you mommy

Just playing with my lovely cousin

2009-02-14T20:22:00.000-08:00

I met my cousin – Mira at my other cousin's house, named Wina...We play "arisan" which means regular cousins gathering for purposes of conducting a lottery. Each of us that play arisan definitely will get the money. But we don't know when we'll get it. It's a surprise...

This time, I won...So happy, because this month I have a lot of needs to be paid and it took me extra money...Hehe, hooorayyyyyy....

Then we took some pictures in front of Wina's house...So here it is

Strawberry Field

2009-02-07T21:09:00.000-08:00

Went to Bandung last weekend was so fun. We stopped at the rest area first to take a breakfast because we go early in the morning. The trip take about 2 hours, then we straight to Lembang where we drank fresh milk and continued visit the strawberry field.

I wore polkadot skirt with a little accent of plastic heart and T-shirt covered with Blazer to prevent the cold weather.

Very much fun ^,^

Roses are Red & Violets are blue

2009-01-23T09:44:00.000-08:00

Violet cardigan and shades of viloet bow tie just fit me, I like to mix between stripes and polkadot...They have a good connection...

Today I'm happy, so happy...I don't know why but very thankful for that...Maybe the violet gave a positive energy for me ;)

check baby check

2009-01-23T08:56:00.000-08:00

Since I join the modepass competition, I always pray to God to be win...It's my big dream (cause my boss told me I should have a BIG dream) to see the country of fashion...

Yeah, flying to Paris is my dream...Since it costs so expensive maybe I can fly there for about 10 years later. If I pay it with my own money, hehehe...

I even dreaming to be a stylist of VOGUE magazine, hahaha...It's ok to have a dream right? ;p

Anyway, I like this boots...So comfortable, and my jacket? My dad pick that for me...Isn't he such a sweet dad? I love you daddy ^,^

Why do I like green?

2009-01-21T08:20:00.000-08:00

Hmmm...maybe because I love nature. I love seeing leaves, rice field, grass, grasshopper, green apple, everything that come out with green.

The meaning of colors that www.color-wheel-pro.com have write. Green symbolized growth, harmony, freshness, and fertility. Green has strong emotional correspondence with safety. Dark green is also commonly associated with money (hmmm, no wonder I like shopping....hahahaha kidding)

Anyway, let's go green...Never too late to save our world ;)

dress: GAP

hat: my brother's

flower brooch: my sister's

shoes: amante

Old Tree

2009-01-17T08:11:00.000-08:00

Waiting to take pictures with this old tree for about two months maybe...It was Mona who convinced me that there's one tree I should have a look...Since then I fell in love with that old tree...Why it took me so long? Maybe I think I have no guts to take pictures while people worked in other office which located at the back of this tree staring at me....Very uncomfortable....

I really love this tree because this tree looks elegant and strong, consider with how long he already stands there, being umbrella for people who get wet by rain or protecting people from the heat of the sun, or just giving us a good oxygen...

One day I walked with Mona, by the time we passed that tree she suddenly stopped. I didn't realize what she was doing till she said "Gita, don't you want to make a picture with this tree?" and I said "yeah, of course I do" I looked around and realized that no one there (people who will stare) I said "yayyyyyyyy, let's bring it on!!!!" thanks Mona for making me this lovely picture....

Love you like I always do ;)

On Monday

2009-01-09T18:52:00.000-08:00

When I had a little walk on sunday I found this bow headband...Very cute, this cost for only Rp. 8000 or maybe $0.7...The next day which is monday, my headband accompanied me when I'm late to work. Unfortunately my boss didn't get mad for seeing me late...

This vintage dress found in Pasar Baru – new place for me to buy some vintage clothes. A lot of vintage dress and much more comfortable (because using Air Conditioner) comparing with no Air conditioner (so hottttt) in Senen...

Klik klik...

2008-12-26T09:26:00.000-08:00

Last pic...

2008-12-18T07:00:00.000-08:00

This is my last pictures I found in my computer that taken from my camera before it broke...First time I cut my hair, I got pictured by my sister...

I like layering oufit, as you can see...I wore shirt, covered by dress, and legging...It's a bit strange in my country if we're layering outfit...Cause we only have 2 seasons, rainy and summer...And most of it summer, so people wearing just T-shirt, cotton cloth or skirt, etc (summer dress) and sometimes my friends asking me "why you're wearing that? don't you just melting to death?" hahahaha...They feel hot seeing me, but I'm not...

I like that ;)

wannaBee

2008-12-14T10:38:00.000-08:00

On friday, Mona asked me to wore outfit inspired by honeybee...Which is yellow with black & white stripes...She's so cute...

As I....A bit vintage look ;)

Oh...I have a little story to share....On that morning I got a little accident, my shoes broke and I have nothing to wear. But Mona such a sweetheart, she asked me to wore her shoes that she left in the office...

How happy I am, it's a black shoes – Nine West...With little flower on the side (also black) so cute...Maybe you couldn't see it in here, but I swear those shoes are so great...And that's what I look like...

Education Corner:

About honeybee – Honey is a thick liquid produced by certain types of bees from the nectar of flowers. While many species of insects consume nectars, honeybees refine and concentrate nectar to make honey. Indeed, they make lots of honey so they will have plenty of food for times when flower nectar is unavailable, such as winter. Unlike most insects, honeybees remain active through the winter, consuming and metabolizing honey in order to keep from freezing to death. Early humans probably watched bears and other mammals raid bee hives for honey and then tried it themselves. Once people found out what honey was, next they had to learn how to get it from the bees safely! (source from www.gpnc.org)

New Hair

2008-12-13T07:38:00.000-08:00

I've cut my hair...I like this cut because it's simple and light...But the main reason it's because my hair keep fallin and fallin...Wish with this cut my hair will back into health condition...I wore this black dress in my friend wedding – Syarief & Nucky....Congrats you guys, may you live happily ever after (like Cinderella) ;)

Put some Lace...

2008-12-13T07:20:00.000-08:00

If you want to get the romantic touch, just put some lace and it will be perfect (that's my opinion)...Originally, I'm not too feminime...But sometimes I want to look like a girl, and I've tried by wearing this peach lace cardigan...I don't know if this looks could categorized to feminime, did I?

Ready to school...

2008-12-08T09:42:00.000-08:00

Hmmm, found my dad's sweater when he studied in Sussex University-England; old grey skirt; stripes scarf; glasses...What else could it be except looking like a good student on a private school ;p

Or, do you have any idea? Please give me some advice...It means a lot to me...

Thank You (^,^)v

I didn't know this pant called jodhpurs till my friend-Sielly told me...All I know is this pant's so cute and makes me feel 'free to move'....

This is a few story about jodhpurs:

Jodhpurs are tight-fitting trousers worn primarily for horse riding. Originally, jodhpurs (as worn in and around the city in India after which they are named) were tight-fitting only from the knee to the ankle and were flared above the knee; modern stretch-fabrics have allowed jodhpurs to be supportive and flexible. (source from wikipedia)

I'm a little bit obsessed with anything from India...Because it's color, songs, movies, and last but not least is my 'guy' - Shakhrukh Khan (actor from India ;p)....Everything's so exotic...

And this is me wearing jodhpurs on JakJazz. A quite big event of jazz, held in Jakarta and give a great musics from international (Ray Harris, Kyoto Massive Jazz, etc) & local (Tompi, Maliq & D'essentials, Dimi, etc) talented musicians. You guys should see this ;)

Batik can be modern

2008-11-22T19:40:00.000-08:00

(this is how to make batik tulis, pic by peterloud.co.uk)

Batik is one of Indonesian's cultural heritages. Batik means write, but in general it has a specific meaning that is drawing in a piece of a cloth with wax or 'malam', using a tool called canting. Batik that I wore is a printed Yogyakartan batik. It can be seen by the color of this batik, which is brown (earth color)

I wore 'batik cap', because it is cheaper than 'batik tulis' I can't afford it...But maybe someday I will buy batik tulis to keeping from generation to generation of my culture...Batik cap made by using 'cap' or stamp and batik tulis made by drawing with a wax (handmade, that's why it's more expensive than batik cap)

Ancients worn batik as a skirt and it has a lot of pattern on many different meaning...

Nowadays, designers in Indonesia made batik become more modern, by designing it aplicable to daily life and more stylish...

I'm trying to pull my look by combining tradition and modern...Hope it works ;)

Syekh Paul

2008-11-12T07:28:00.000-08:00

This man between me & Mona named Paul...He is a multi talented, humorous, 'rempong', fashion advisor (for me) and last but not least sweet person ;)

He also has a blog, take a look in here...You can see his writing and great pictures by him

When he was in the same office with me & Mona, we liked to pretend that he's 'our hubby' considered that he's the only man on that editorial room - which automatically he had a lot of wives. And now, referring to the hot news about a man named Syekh Puji who married for the sixth times with a 12-year old kiddo. Now we give Paul a nickname: Syekh Paul...Very funny, sometimes he gives up and let us flirt with him (he knows that our jokes and flirts mean nothing, just kidding)

Remember when u were a kid?

My Dad just bought me a T-Shirt with jack-o'-lantern on it...Here's the story about Halloween, source from wikipedia:

Halloween (or hallowe'en) is a holiday celebrated on October 31. Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, ghost tours, bonfires, costume parties, visiting haunted attractions, carving jack-o'-lanterns, reading scary stories, and watching horror movies. Irish immigrants carried versions of the tradition to North America in the 19th century. Other western countries embraced the holiday in the late 20th century. Halloween is celebrated in several countries of the western world, most commonly in the US, Canada, Ireland, Puerto Rico, Japan, the United Kingdom, and at times in parts of Australia and New Zealand.

Sabtu (entah kapan) saya jalan-jalan bersama keluarga ke Pondok Indah Mall, lalu kami rehat sejenak di A&W karena Agra, adik bungsu saya yang sekarang duduk di kelas 4 SD minta dibelikan popcorn...

Berhubung saya belum terlalu lapar, maka saya foto-foto saja sambil menunggu dia selesai menikmati popcorn-nya ;)

i like balloons...

2008-11-03T21:14:00.000-08:00

Beberapa bulan lewat teman saya Sielly membeli balon, dan kami berfoto bergantian berpose bersama dengan 3 balon yang dalam waktu 4 jam sudah menyusut...

Saya sempat posting satu gambar yang di edit Sielly di awal saya membuat blog, tapi belakangan ini saya iseng ingin edit foto dengan gaya 'sok2' polaroid...

Mudah-mudahan mendekati keinginan, hehehe...Kalau tidak ya maklum sajalah, namanya juga bukan dari kamera polaroid ;p

Waktu itu saya habis makan bakmi di dekat kantor, dalam perjalanan pulang saya & teman yaitu mba Widi berencana pulang ke kantor melewati jalan lain. Nah, disitulah saya menemukan tembok yang dihiasi graffiti 'asal' untuk dijadikan lokasi pemotretan 'saya sendiri'

Beberapa hari kemudian saya memberitahu Mona teman yang juda hobi difoto, bahwa saya menemukan 'spot' yang bagus untuk kita bergaya didepan kamera. Gayung pun bersambut, Mona ikut semangat untuk berfoto di tempat tersebut, walaupun dia belum tahu tempatnya seperti apa (hanya mengandalkan ucapan persuasif saya ;p)

Kebetulan kami sedang memakai baju ber-dress code NAVY, jadi kami tampak lebih serasi. Karena kami ingin ada foto kami berdua maka kami mengajak salah seorang teman yang pasrah saja disuruh kemana & disuruh ngapain...

Dialah Freddy yang dalam sekejap kami angkat menjadi fotografer GIMONS (red. Gita Mona)...

Terima Kasih Freddy ;)

So...this is my new shoes...And I love em so much...Akhirnya kesampaian juga punya sepatu berwarna hitam dengan hak tinggi, hehehe...Soalnya selama ini punya sepatu kebanyakan "flat" jadi kemarin saya jalan-jalan ke Mall Pondok Indah, begitu lewat toko yang bernama "Charles & Keith" ramai didatangi pengunjung Mall saya penasaran dan ikut masuk ke toko tersebut...

Dan ternyata, sepatunya sedang SALE...Hmmm, langsung saja saya "obok-obok" tu toko...Cari sepatu SALE yang modelnya tidak terlalu rumit tapi juga enak dipandang, nyaman dipakai...

Akhirnya pilihan jatuh pada sepatu dengan tali silang di depan ini, warna hitam solid dengan bahan mengkilat...

LOVE IT ;)

BOWLING TIME

2008-10-03T10:42:00.000-07:00

Jumat 3 Oktober 2008, kami sekeluarga mulai bermain bowling kembali setelah vakum sampai beberapa tahun lamanya...Sighs....

Saya sangat bersemangat sekali, tapi sayang semangat tidak dibarengi oleh stamina yang fit dan permainan yang OK...Game pertama berhasil saya lewati dengan skor: LUMAYAN. Tapi di game kedua, entah kenapa tiba-tiba bola warna kuning no. 9 yang saya pakai beberapa kali terlepas dari tangan, sebelum saya mulai mengontrolnya. Walhasil bola menggelinding tak terarah...

Nilai saya pun ikut-ikut tak terarah...Hahaha, but it's okay...My dad told me that it was our happy hours, so we have to enjoy it ;) adik saya yang paling kecil saja 'pede' sekali dalam melempar bola. Walau bola sering melenceng ke pinggir tapi dia pantang menyerah, sehingga pada akhirnya dia menemukan sendiri caranya dan perlahan dia mulai mendapatkan nilai. Satu atau dua bola yang terjatuh pun dia sudah senang bukan kepalang. Terlihat bangga akan lemparannya. Kami pun jadi makin semangat melempar, kena tidak kena pokoknya HAJAR saja...Kekekekek...

Pesan untuk diri saya sendiri...Next time will be better...

Oh my lemonade

Cocok sekali bukan? Jika dipakai untuk berkeliling ke rumah nenek, pak de, eyang...Dengan kondisi cuaca seperti di Jakarta yang agak panas ini ??? Hehehe...

Pokoknya selamat hari raya idul fitri ya buat yang merayakan...Mohon maaf lahir & batin :)

Life Is Very....

2008-10-01T20:40:00.001-07:00

Di hari terakhir puasa ramadhan, kami sekeluarga pergi makan ke Plaza Semanggi di SkyDining-nya. Karena ayah, ibu dan adik saya ingin mencoba tempat yang sudah saya & kakak promosikan...

Kami berbuka di salah satu restoran bernama LIV yang ternyata singkatan dari Life Is Very....

Lucu juga namanya, kita bisa melanjutkan sendiri kata-katanya sesuai keinginan kita...Hehehe, akhirnya kami memesan tempat tepat di pinggir sehingga kami dapat melihat dari atas beberapa tempat di kota Jakarta ini...

Makanannya pun juga lumayan enak, adik saya memesan kepiting soka dengan bumbu bawang putih, dan tampaknya dia sangat menggemarinya ;)

Sehabis itu, pulanglah kami dengan hati senang....Life Is Very SWEET (^,^)v

PS

2008-09-27T10:32:00.001-07:00

Malem minggu kali ini bingung mau kemana, karena sudah bosan mengunjungi tempat yang biasanya kami kunjungi (ribet bgt ngomongnya) hehehe...Mati gaya menyerang, maka akhirnya saya dan yuda memutuskan makan di Burger King - Senayan City saja. Setelah kenyang, kamipun melakukan "window shopping" ternyata toko yang diskon hanya sedikit, itupun diskonnya tidak banyak...

Walhasil, kamipun nyebrang ke mal seberang yaitu Plaza Senayan...Barangkali disana akan ada diskon besar-besaran...11-12 dengan Senayan City, diskon yang ditawarkan seperti tidak niat. 20% ataupun 50% tapi dengan embel-embel "on second items" Please deh, Come on you guys, udah mau lebaran neh, masa gak mau beramal sedikit sih untuk konsumen? :D

Tgl 30 Juli 2008 kemarin saya, Sielly, Cutipai (people from pulo raya ;p) melancong ke negeri jiran dilanjutkan melihat-lihat lady boy di bangkok. Hehehe, saya akan menceritakan sedikit rute kami dalam bepergian kemarin. Pertama kami naik budget airlines AirAsia menuju Batam, dengan harapan biaya transportasi kami akan lebih murah karena untuk menyeberang ke Johor Baru dengan naik kapal fery kami dikenai fiskal hanya setengah daripada fiskal penerbangan yang langsung ke tempat tujuan. Tapi ya ada harga ada barang. Karena ingin hemat, kami malah diperlakukan semena-mena oleh bapak2 penjaga imigrasi di Johor Baru. Mungkin kami dikira TKW kali yah? Dari awal kami sampai, kami memang sedikit terburu-buru karena senangnya mungkin. Jadi, kami tidak membaca aturan2 yang harus diikuti. Tapi bukan salah kami juga, wong peraturannya letaknya membelakangi kami (gimana bisa baca coba?) Sampai harus Sielly yang membalikkan tulisan. Jadi dengan nada sok tegas petugas itu menyuruh kami berhenti di blkg garis kuning, yang mana warna garisnya sudah menyerupai warna lantai (yuk, salah sendiri tidak dicat ulang) maka nurutlah kami. Kami lalu menunjuk Cut sebagai orang pertama yang menghampiri petugas imigrasi karena dialah yang paling akrab dengan luar negeri dibanding kami berdua, kami agak2 ngeri gt deh. Lalu setelah selesai, Cut menunggu kami tepat di belakang petugas tersebut. Ternyata, disitu juga tertulis "Dilarang menunggu disini" gitu deh intinya dalam bahasa Indonesia, karena lagi-lagi tulisan itu tidak ingin menampakkan diri maka terdengarlah suara seorang bapak yang sudah hampir bau tanah membentak Cut, dia bilang "TUNGGU DILUAR!!!!" Cut pun kaget dan berkata "biasa aja dong ngomongnya" lalu bapak itu tidak terima dan melanjutkan dengan emosi yang memuncak dan dengan inisiatif yang tinggi teman2 senegerinya yang bertugas sebagai petugas keamanan langsung sigap menyuruh kami membuka koper (pokoknya semua tas dibuka) bahkan dengan koper kami yang berat2 tidak satupun dari mereka yang mau membantu kami mengangkat koper keatas meja yang tidak pendek (dilihat saja kami kesusahan mengangkat, ada juga yang menertawakan kami). Nyuruhnya dengan nada yang pastinya kasar (teteup) sambil diperiksa bapak itu tetap ngoceh marah2, lalu pergi (dasar gak Tanggung Jawab). Dan ketika Cut ditanyai petugas keamanan kenapa nyolot. Cut langsung bilang "bisa kan dia berbicara yang lebih sopan?" temannya lantas membela bapak itu, dia bilang "Penat dia dari pagi bekerja, banyak orang aneh2 dan dia nak penat" Cut pun tidak mau kalah, disambar lagi omongan petugas itu "saya pun penat sangat, perjalanan jauh" "bapak itu tidak harus marah2 kan?" petugas yang memiliki rasa nasionalis yang tinggi tetap membela si bapak mati2an. Dengan penasarannya petugas itu bertanya pada Cut, katanya "Apa kerja?" Cut menjawab "reporter a.k.a journalist" si petugas langsung agak berubah raut mukanya (sedikit ciut saya rasa) dan dia berkata "patutlah" terus langsung sok menasihati Cut supaya jadi orang jangan gampang emosi (emang dia tadi nggak?!!!!) anyway, negeri jiran itu benar-benar sudah bukan negeri yang bersahabat lagi untuk kita orang Indonesia yang disana pun kami dibilang Indon (red.panggilan merendahkan). But hey, it's ok. Memang perjalanan kami dimulai oleh sesuatu yang kurang menyenangkan tapi sudah dilupakan saja. Karena sayang, kami sudah telanjur berada disana. Jadi ya harus dinikmati. Hehehehe....

Dari Johor Baru kami harus ke Kuala Lumpur, untuk menginap di rumah saudaranya Cut di Jl. Athinahapan. Sekitar 6 jam harus kami tempuh untuk sampai di terminal bus Puduraya Kuala Lumpur. Hal yang membuat kami mual selama kami berada didalam bus adalah kami ditemani oleh film2 yang sangaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatttttttttt sadis. Mungkin maksud supirnya untuk menghibur penumpang, tapi saya rasa tidak ada yang terhibur. Bagaimana tidak mual coba? Di film itu tidak ada yang disensor sama sekali adegannya. Ada adegan mencopot kuku seorang gadis karena tidak mau mengaku siapa bos dia (klise bgt deh), adegan menembak (lumayan biasa sih), memotong kuping, memotong lidah,dan adegan2 sadis lainnya. Tolong dicatat yah, ini benar2 diperlihatkan prosesnya. Bukan adegan yang mau berbuat jahat terus dipotong sehingga kita hanya melihat akhirnya saja yang sudah berdarah-darah. INI BENAR2 PROSESNYA!!! TANPA DISENSOR. Jadinya adegan menembak adalah adegan yang paling biasa dibanding adegan lainnya. Sampai stress kami dibuatnya, dua film yang diputar sama saja menunjukkan kesadisan. Saya & Sielly sampai berpikir. "Jangan2 supirnya ini seorang psikopat yah?" dan langsung terbayang-bayanglah wajah Ryan the executor...Hiiiiii, ngeri. Untungnya saya aga2 kebluk. Jadi saya lebih pilih menyender ke jendela cari posisi enak, dan dalam hitungan detik sudah tertidur. ZzzzzzZZzzzzzZZZZZZ....

Jam 12 waktu Malaysia kami tiba di terminal Puduraya, dan ternyata tanpa terlalu lama kami menunggu. Nenek & sepupunya Cut sudah datang menjemput, bukan main senangnya hati kami. Setelah stress didalam bus akhirnya kami menemukan kehidupan yang normal. Neneknya Cut adalah orang yang ramah, gesit (dia bantu kami mengangkat koper loh & nenek mana yang jam 12 blm tidur tapi malah jemput kami ke terminal?) sedangkan anaknya yang notabene adalah sepupunya Cut bernama Yanti. Yanti yang menyetir mobil dalam urusan menjemput kami, sedikit pendiam tapi tidak sombong. Bertubuh tinggi semampai serta berambut hitam panjang terawat dan memiliki wajah yang manis. Belakangan saya tahu kalau dia pernah berprofesi jadi model (pantes...)

Didalam mobil, nenek bertanya pada kami apakah kami mau makan. Kalau saya sih karena agak2 maruk mau2 aja (tapi jawaban disimpan dalam hati, malu kaleeee) tetap akhirnya kami menuju tempat makan didekat rumah nenek. Ternyata menu yang disajikan adalah menu masakan India. Untuk amannya, saya & Sielly memesan roti canai, karena sudah tahu rasanya. Yanti & Cut memesan roti tisu. Saya ceritakan sedikit mengenai roti tisu, roti ini terbuat dari bahan yang sama dengan roti canai hanya yang ini dibuat kering sekali sampai garing lalu dibuat mengerucut, sampai tinggi sekitar 20cm. Lalu dilumuri susu kental manis yang warnanya putih. Mmmmmmmm, Maknyus kalau kata Pak Bondan. Saya mencicipi roti tisu-nya Cut. Lalu malam itu kami akhiri dengan tidur nyenyak di kamar sepupunya Cut yang nyaman layaknya hotel bintang lima....Lagi-lagi ZZZZzzzzzZZZZZZzzzzzZZZZZZzzzz...

Keesokan paginya kami bersiap-siap menuju Genting Highland. Naik taksi menuju stasiun kereta. Karena katanya disana kami dapat membeli tiket menuju Genting. Sudah semangat2nya kami ingin ke Genting, ternyata skyway-nya (kereta gantung) sedang maintenance. Jadilah Sielly kecewa dan mengurungkan niatnya. Karena menurut dia percuma. Saya & Cut sih asik2 aja. Akhirnya rencana berubah jadi 'hunting sepatu vincci'. Dengan menaiki kereta 'rapidKL' kami menuju Suria KLCC. Pertokoan yang menjadi satu dengan menara Petronas kebanggaan orang Malaysia, pernah dipakai shooting film Entrapment juga (pantes aja bangga) tapi mereka belum tau saja kalau artis2 Hollywood sering ke Bali, ngadain pernikahannya di Bali. Atau pernah untuk video clip, kita sih sebagai masyarakat Indonesia selalu merendah gak pernah nyombong (loh? kok jd ngawur ngomongnya? ;p)

Pertama kali menginjakkan kaki di toko Vincci-nya Suria KLCC kami langsung terpana. Banyak sekali orang2 berada didalam sana. Ternyata sedang SALE, wah...Dewi Fortuna berpihak pada kami. "Tau aja nih, orang yang duitnya pas2an dikasih SALE" setelah survei2, belum ada sepatu ataupun sandal yang menarik hati saya. Malah mata saya jatuh hati pada kacamata berwarna putih. Jadilah saya membeli kacamata. Aneh memang, orang2 ke Vincci ya beli sepatu. Saya malah nenteng kacamata. Lalu kami memutuskan melanjutkan hunting menuju Plaza Sungei Wang di daerah Bukit Bintang. Untuk menuju sana kami harus menaiki monorail (tidak naik rapidKL lagi) begitu keluar dari stasiun kami kelaparan dan memutuskan untuk makan di restoran cepat saji McD. Ternyata diluar McD itu terdapat booth untuk turis. Kami boleh meminta peta Kuala Lumpur. Petanya didesain menarik lagi, jadi senang juga untuk dijadikan koleksi. Didalam McD kami membuka-buka peta, lalu adik di sebelah kami bertanya "kakak ni nak kemana?" "boleh saya bantu?" wah saya berpikir "baik juga ni si adik sm ibunya" "ada juga orang Malay yang bersahabat" tadinya kami bilang tidak usah terima kasih. Tapi ternyata belakangan kami harus bertanya pada si adik dimanakah letak Plaza Sungei Wang. Kami jadi malu, tapi santai. Yang penting Sungei Wang ketemu.

Sepatu Vincci yang di Plaza Sungei Wang lebih beragam modelnya. Dan tetap SALE loh, senangnya. Disana baru saya menemukan sepatu yang cocok untuk oleh2 ibu, kakak, kakaknya pacar, dan saya sendiri tentunya. Ditambah dengan kalung lucu talinya dari rantai kuningan dengan bandul berbahan sama namun berbentuk bulat tengahnya bolong dan diberi floral print yang jatuhnya sangat murah. Setelah puas belanja-belanja sampai sore kami harus pulang karena Cut harus bertandang kerumah kakeknya yang lain. Kami memutuskan pulang naik taksi karena belanjaan sudah banyak dan kami sedikit kelelahan karena tadi sebelum ke Sungei Wang kami harus berjalan jauh dari Suria KLCC menuju stasiun monorail.

Menakjubkan, taksi yang berhenti disupiri oleh seorang bapak berdarah TiongHoa yang lagi makan rambutan ditaruh dikursi sampingnya. Melihat Sielly mau masuk untuk duduk didepan si bapak baru memindahkan rambutannya kebawah. Ditanyakannyalah tujuan kami, setelah dijawab, dia nyetir dengan still yakin. Di perjalanan dia memasang lagu mandarin dan ikut bernyanyi-nyanyi. Rambutnya yang belakang sudah tipis menuju botak. Dengan nada melayu pelo dia bertanya pada Sielly "darimana?" dijawab "Jakarta" disambut lagi olehnya "cina bukan?" "ibu cina bapak INDON?" (ngarang banget gak sih???) karena sebal Sielly nyamber "BUKAN, kungkung Beijing" (kungkung artinya kakek) trus si supir ngoceh2 pake bahasa Mandarin, dijawab sekenanya sama Sielly (untung Sielly bisa dikit2 ngomong pake bahasa mandarin) lalu disinilah keanehan terjadi. Ketika kami sampai di Taman Tun (sudah didaerah rumahnya nenek Cut) dia bertanya "dimana athinahapan?" kita bingung. "loh? bapak gak tau?" "kita juga gak tau" terus kita mulai sok tau. Cari-cari jalan, lewat wanita muda sedang lari sore. Kita bilang "tanya saja sama dia pak" lalu dia berhentikan mobilnya. Dengan nada bicara yang gak jelas dia menyuruh Sielly untuk buka kaca mobil, dia bilang "buka cermin buka cermin!!" Sielly nggak 'ngeh' diulang lagi omongan dia yang tadi, sampai Cut bilang ke Sielly "buka kaca" baru Sielly ngeh (ya iyalah, disini kan cermin itu untuk berkaca) trus dia ngomel2 sama Sielly, katanya "tak tahu buka cermin?" sambil merengut. Pas kaca sudah dibuka dan bertanya pada wanita tsb ternyata tak mendapatkan hasil. Namun wanita itu baik, dia sampai menghampiri temannya menanyakan Jl. Athinahapan. Karena wanita itu agak lama bertanya ada temannya, si supir langsung ngeloyor pergi ninggalin tu orang. Aneh banget sih ni bapak, Cut bilang "Pak, dia kan lagi nanya kenapa ditinggal?" jawaban asal yang keluar dari mulutnya adalah "tak tahulah dia" GUBRAK!!!! Setidaknya bilang terima kasih kek. Sambil garuk2 kepalanya dan sedikit stress dia nanya2 mulu "dimana?" padahal Cut juga sudah menelpon neneknya dan menyuruh supir itu untuk ngomong sm neneknya, eh dia malah bilang "tak tahu tak tahu, saya baru di KL" yo oloh, supir taksi tapi buta jalan. Sielly akhirnya memutuskan ya sudah kita berhenti di Pizza Hut saja dan naik taksi lagi atau dijemput. Ternyata dia nguping dan langsung menyetujui untuk berhenti di Pizza dan ngatur2 biar kita dijemput disana. GILING...

Kita akhirnya turun, tapi dia berhenti bukan di Pizza Hut juga. Emang dasarnya udah edan kali yah? Kita menunggu sepupu Cut yang bernama Arlina datang menjemput, sebelumnya Cut sudah berhasil menelpon dia. Ternyata tidak terlalu jauh dari tempat kita turun, kita hanya kecepetan satu belokan. Yang penting selamat sampai tujuan deh ;p Terima kasih untuk Arlina yang baik hati mau menjemput kami. Arlina ini hitam manis dengan tubuh sedikit berisi, tapi memiliki wajah yang tulus serta mempunyai karir yang baik (hiks iri, hehe)

Keesokan paginya kami berangkat jam 8 untuk mendapatkan tiket melihat skybridge-nya menara Petronas. Karena di hari kami ke Suria KLCC, kami sudah mendapatkan info dari petugasnya untuk datang pagi2 mendapatkan tiket gratis yang dibagikan terbatas. Kami pikir kami sudah termasuk pendatang awal2. Ternyata, antriannya sudah seperti ular naga panjangnya bukan kepalang. Wuih, antriannya dipenuhi turis dari berbagai negara. Menarik juga sih, sambil antri sambil melihat berbagai macam rupa dan budaya. Rata2 mereka membawa buku keluaran Lonely Planet sebagai panduan mereka di negara orang. Aduh dollar, euro, poundsterling sama rupiah kenapa jomplang amat ya? Sepertinya mereka mudah saja membeli buku seperti itu, disini kita harus browsing karena untuk membeli buku semacam itu termasuk mahal (menurut saya loh) Sudahlah, lihat hasil akhirnya saja. Sama2 terdampar di menara Petronas ;p

Antrian kami seharusnya mendapatkan jadwal naik jembatan jam 4, tapi Sielly memelas meminta pada petugasnya untuk diganti karena kami harus ke airport menuju Bangkok jam 3. Dengan modal sedikit rayuan, berhasil kami mendapatkan tiket untuk jam 12. Untuk menaiki jembatan, sebelumnya kami disuguhi film (disuruh pake kacamata 3D gt d) mengenai sejarah Petronas. Baru habis itu naik lift didampingi pemandu melihat-lihat konstruksi jembatan serta mendapatkan pemandangan Kuala Lumpur secara meluas.

Kira2 30 menit kami tur jembatan di Petronas, kami sudah dijemput nenek & Yanti untuk kembali kerumah mengambil koper dan berangkat ke airport. Eits, karena kami naik AirAsia, airport yang kami datangi bukanlah bandara internasional KLIA-nya. Tapi Air Asia membuat airport khusus karena saking banyak peminatnya. Namanya LCC, dekat dengan KLIA sih, tapi tetap saja beda. LCC ini ramai sekali akan orang dan bentuknya sebenarnya seperti hanggar yang sangat besar. Dan untuk menuju pesawatnya benar-benar yang jalan kaki terus naik tangga (gak pakai belalai2 deh)

Pesawat AirAsia yang kami naiki kali ini jauh lebih bagus daripada pesawat Jakarta-Batam. Kami naik airbus (jelas saja berbeda, ini kan penerbangan internasional ;p) Setelah sebelumnya happy2 ngayalin Bangkok akhirnya kami berada di pesawat yang menuju kesana juga...Hehehehe

And, we flew to BANGKOK......

be yourself...

Saya, Mona dan Tere mencoba memunculkan sisi diri kami masing-masing lewat tangkapan kamera SONY Cybershot DSC W-50 (ciee iklan) Mona si girlie, Tere si cuek rada tomboy, dan si Gita yang aneh :)) Walaupun berbeda-beda karakter tapi kami tetap 'happy people' loh...Lokasi foto kami ini bertempat di kantor, eits tapi kami bukannya makan gaji buta loh, kami foto-foto setelah jam kantor selesai...

Sekarang saya baru tahu perasaan senang ketika menemukan harta karun. Ya...Saya merasakan hal itu sewaktu melihat tas ayah yang sudah jaraaaaaaaaannnnnggg sekali dia pakai. Langsung saya menanyakan apakah saya boleh meminjam tasnya??? Lalu ia membolehkan bahkan tas tersebut diberikan kepada saya. Katanya, kalau saya sangat ingin tas tersebut maka ambil saja buat saya. Wahhhhhhhh, kesempatan yang tidak akan saya sia-siakan. Ayahku memang yang terbaik...

Hari sabtu kemarin saya & adik-kakak mengantarkan ibu & bapak membeli obat di daerah Puri Indah (Jakarta Barat). Nah, ketika kami berjalan di sekitarnya terdapat sebuah outlet baju favorit keluarga kami yang dari luar terlihat kurang di-desain secara serius. Di dalam tokonya pun display-nya agak terlalu di-'pepet2', kurang serius juga ;p

Maklumlah, luas tokonya tidak sebanyak jumlah bajunya. Tapi, kenapa outlet ini menjadi favorit keluarga kami adalah jika kita tekun mencari ternyata banyak terdapat baju2 yang bagus dengan harga yang sangat terjangkau...

Ada banyak baju ber-merk yang tampaknya tidak lulus uji kelayakan (di mata perusahaan tersebut, kalau di mata saya sih tampak terlihat bagus saja-tidak terlihat cacat) dijual dengan harga yang relatif terjangkau...

Bukan main senangnya hati saya, menemukan baju bermotif polkadot kecil berwarna-warni ini :)

Pagi-pagi ngantuk...

HUaaaAAaahhhhhHH, nguantuknya rek...Malas sekali hari ini pergi ke kantor...Rasanya ingin tidur kembali....

Di kantor sampai mau pulang, beberapa kali mata saya terpejam tiba-tiba...Ketika sampai dirumah langsung berlayar di pulau kasur....

Hmmmmm, enakkkkkkkkkkkkkk..........

Fitting???

Pada hari sabtu tanggal 5 Juli 2008 kemarin kami sekeluarga pergi ke Thamrin untuk melihat pawai mobil hias yang rencananya akan dimulai pada pukul 7 malam dengan rute dari istana wakil presiden melewati Thamrin sampai jalan Sudirman dalam rangka ulang tahun Jakarta 22 Juni kemarin (kok jauh ya tanggalnya?)...

Karena bapak saya tidak ingin kehabisan tempat parkir di Sarinah Thamrin (asumsi dia akan ramai orang2 parkir di Sarinah), maka kami berangkat pada pukul 4 sore...

Ketika kami menginjakkan kaki di Sarinah waktu menunjukkan masih sekitar jam 5, maka kami berjalan-jalan terlebih dahulu. "Touching2" alias pegang2 saja, lalu bapak saya menemukan kemeja yang bagus untuk dia bekerja. Kemejanya sederhana saja, berwarna dasar putih dengan aksen garis2 tipis (mungkin sekitar 0.25 pt) diisi warna-warna orange, abu2, coklat...Cocok dipakai untuk suasana resmi ataupun santai. Nah, sembari menunggu bapak 'fitting', saya dan adik berfoto-foto di kamar pas sebelah yang kosong ;p
