Weekend

Today is a day off :)
Looking at the title itself, you'd probably know it's a day-off anyway hehe...

Today is kinda special nevertheless since this is my first weekend that I chose to stay at home since I got back from Indo...
Last week was a busy week for me so I feel that I need to rest a bit...
I don't know why but I feel that I got tired easier now hehe maybe I was influenced by other people that told me once you've reached 25 then you'd feel the difference :P

Anyway, it's not the point... I don't think I've aged a lot just by turning the age of 25... I honestly think that I've become much more positive now than a year ago...
I guess my best friends in Indo gave me so much motivation to be one :) Thanks girls!

I woke up a bit late this morning, watching 2 episodes of drama and now I'm trying to do some reading...
I hate reading so much back then but now I think it's not that bad afterall... but no, i'm not a bookworm yet :P and I still hate novels hehe so I think it's still a long way for me to be a bookworm :P

Today is a nice, sunny day. Actually I thought it'd be good if I just sit at the park beside a little lake and do a bit of reading... but I'm just too lazy to go now...
I am listening to some indo music now... let me share this with you...

Bunga Citra Lestari - Aku Tak Mau Sendiri



Bunga Citra Lestari - Sunny OST Cinta Pertama



Enjoy and have a great weekend!!!

Wonderful Bday

Yes it was my bday not long ago...
I had my bday exactly on the same day as my flight back to Sydney... isn't it wonderful? :-)
Well it is coz that means a lot of people attending my bday :-)

It was not that bad...in the morning I still got the chance to celebrate it with my parents and friends... we had lunch or to be more exact, it was a brunch coz I was afraid I wouldn't make it if it was for a lunch... so we had brunch at around 11am.
I got quite many presents and gifts...but more importantly I got the chance to celebrate it with my closest ones... and that's what made me happy :-)

I also had some important people sent me messages and emails congratulating me :-) I really appreciate that...
Even someone who is really important to me sent me a msg...hehe I thought that person would have forgotten it :P

Ummm the story doesn't end there... after the brunch.. it was the time for me to get my stuffs and went to the airport... I thought "ahh sunny day... having a trip back to syd on my bday would be blessed" and it was indeed... there were just few obstacles that I need to bore a little...
So my dad dropped me and my mom first just in front of the gate so that we could just check in while he parked the car.. I told my mom to wait for my dad and I put my luggages under the x-ray...
Guess what happened next? BLACK OUT!!!! and the sky totally changed. The sunny day had turned into a cloudy and stormy day... "Man...why it has to be now???", I thought...
When I checked in, I asked the officer if the plan would change and she said "the runway is just closed... I don't think any plan can land here...it's too dangerous!"

I was quite panic but I tried to remain positive... I told myself that I would be OK and would still fly on that day...
So I told the officer to put me into other flight which doesn't reschedule their plan. People think it was quite hopeless to try other flights coz in most cases all flights would be redirected to other airports...

Then I also met my friends who were going to go back to Jakarta...their flight is different from mine but their flight also got delayed coz of the weather...
Then after waiting for about 1/2 hrs.. the weather got better and the airport was opened again...
One plane landed and it was my friends'... so I quickly ran to the counter again and they also called my name at the same time, trying to inform me that they can put me into other flight... so you can say I was popular for 1 day coz my name was mentioned several times hahaha...

I could say I was lucky coz everyone was trying to buy tickets for that flight and it was soo full... it was the only flight which got delayed for around 1 hr... other flights could get delayed for 3 hrs or even more.. :| and IF I got delayed, my connecting flight to KL would be wasted coz I could hardly make it :-S

After I arrived at Jakarta, I still needed to change terminal and queued up to check in... you know what?? one of MH (Malaysia Airlines) flights got canceled and most passengers of that flight tried to squeeze in my flight... no wonder soo many ppl lined up in MH counters...
I got served very slowly :-| but I could make it in the end to KL...

Now, from KL to Sydney... it was a planned connecting flight so it shouldn't matter anymore...it was just too tight I could say...
Once I got off from the plane, one MH officer was waiting for me...and it was only me (?????)
She said "quick you gotta be at gate X quickly"
I walked fast there and they've boarded already... at least I wasn't the last passenger so the other passengers wouldn't hate me :P
And the story ends at Sydney where I got off safely :-)

Such a happy ending story isnt it? :P
Now I still got a little jet lag and hopefully I can adapt to Syd time again in no time...

Yosefien's Wedding

Debie is back!!!
My gosh...it took a while for me to recharge my energy...

Anyway, just want to share some pics with you on my best friend's wedding in Semarang...
You know I woke up at 4 am coz I was a bridesmaid? hehe well if you want to get that position, you gotta sacrifice a bit rite? :P
Anyway, it's nice to share your bestfriend's important moment I guess... I feel important for her and him :P hhehehe... and not to forget, of course they are very important part of me as well :-)
So wake up at 4 am was nothing really... :-)

HOWEVER, after the wedding was NOT alright!!!
I was dead right after the wedding party... the day after the wedding supposed to be my bday and normally I would sleep at 12 am on the dot hehe so that I can pick up my friends' calls (hahaha yes I sometimes anticipate this) :P but this time, I went straight to bed coz I couldn't even open my eyes...they felt sooo heavy hahaha

nevertheless, it was soo fun though.... all the invited friends sat at the balcony and pretty much we could have our own time to celebrate our little reunion :P (it's OK we still checked the couple what they were up to) hahaha :P
Here are some pics that we took together...



- At the reception


- Taking picture at the end of the party



Ah yeah let me tell you about this pic...
After the wedding, a bunch of my friends asked me to have lunch with them.. STRAIGHT from the church... so just imagine, I was still wearing this white long dress, together with the gloves :P... Once I entered the restaurant, everyone's eyes just went straight into my dress 0___0 mannn!!!
But yeah it was so fun that it didn't make me uncomfie with such appearance :P

[Music] Another creative song from Indonesia

Another good finding...
Keroncong is one of Indonesian traditional music... It has its own unique type of rhythm...
Young Indo people like to think this kind of music is only for elders and it's not popular anymore... Like what you've probably guessed... rap, pop, rnb are more popular for kids these days... So in this video, Bondan Prakoso, who used to sing in his young age, tried to make a come back and collaborate rap and keroncong into this unique song...

This song is called "Kroncong Protol", which means incomplete keroncong :-) Enjoy!

[Lyric] Sebelum Cahaya

I've been searching for this song's title and singer...and FINALLY, I found it!!! Enjoy!



Sebelum Cahaya
by Letto

ku teringat hati
yang bertabur mimpi
kemana kau pergi cinta
perjalanan sunyi
engkau tempuh sendiri
kuatkanlah hati cinta

ingatkan engkau kepada
embun pagi bersahaja
yang menemanimu sebelum cahaya
ingatkan engkau kepada
angin yang berhembus mesra
yang kan membelaimu cinta

kekuatan hati yang berpegang janji
genggamlah tanganku cinta
ku tak akan pergi meninggalkanmu sendiri
temani hatimu cinta

ingatkan engkau kepada
embun pagi bersahaja
yang menemanimu sebelum cahaya
ingatkan engkau kepada
angin yang berhembus mesra
yang kan membelaimu cinta

ku teringat hati
yang bertabur mimpi
kemana kau pergi cinta
perjalanan sunyi
engkau tempuh sendiri
kuatkanlah hati cinta

ingatkan engkau kepada
embun pagi bersahaja
yang menemanimu sebelum cahaya
ingatkan engkau kepada
angin yang berhembus mesra
yang kan membelaimu cinta

[Lyric] Selamanya Cinta

Looking for good Indonesian song? Check this out.



Sung by Yana Yulio first and then resung recently by D Cinnamons

Di kala hati resah
Seribu ragu datang … memaksaku
Rindu semakin meyerang
Kalau lah aku dapat membaca pikiranmu
Dengan sayap pengharapanku ingin terbang jauh

Biar awan pun gelisah,
Daun daun jatuh berguguran
Namun cintamu kasih terbit laksana bintang
Yang bersinar cerah menerangi jiwaku

Andaikan ku dapat mengungkapkan perasaanku
Hingga membuat kau percaya
Akan ku berikan seutuhnya rasa cintaku
Selamanya selamanya

Biar awan pun gelisah
Daun daun jatuh berguguran
Namun cintamu kasih terbit laksana bintang
Yang bersinar cerah menerangi jiwaku

Andaikan ku dapat mengungkapkan perasaanku hingga membuat kau percaya, akan ku berikan seutuhnya rasa cintaku,
Rasa cinta yang tulus, dari dasar lubuk hatiku.
Tuhan jalinkanlah cinta bersama, selamanya.

Andaikan ku dapat mengungkapkan perasaanku
Hingga membuat kau percaya
Akan ku berikan seutuhnya rasa cintaku
Selamanya … selamanya … selamanya … selamanya

[Lyric] Butterfly

I haven't watched an Indonesian movie called 'Bukan Bintang Biasa' but I've fallen in love with its soundtrack...



Here is the lyric (by Melly Goeslaw and Andhika Pratama)...


Ketika waktu mendatangkan cinta
Aku putuskan memilih dirimu
Setitik rasa itu menetes
Dan semakin parah

Bisa ku rasa getar jantungmu
Mencintaiku apa lagi aku
Jadikanlah diriku
Pilihan terakhir hatimu


Chores:
Butterfly terbanglah tinggi
Setinggi anganku untuk meraihmu
Memeluk batinmu yang sempat kacau
Karna merindu


Butterfly fly away so high
As high as hopes I pray
To come and reach for you
Rescuing your soul
that previous messed up touching me and you

Jalan ini jauh
Namun kita tempuh
Bagai bumi ini
Hanya milik berdua

Biar ku berlebihan
Mendekatimu
Namun ku tunggu

Back to chores.

Enjoy!
