Read vs Write

I am more interested in reading than writing blog nowadays, although I always want to have my blog updated.

Well anyways, here are some of the things that I want to know/do/learn or at least wish to:
1. SWIM (still can't conquer my feelings of being afraid with water depth)
2. TAKE ENGLISH COURSE
3. LEARN SEWING WITH MACHINE
4. PLAYING THE PIANO

LOL! Seems like I (almost) don't know how to do "anything". Haysh.. :)))
If I say "I want my kid to know everything that I don't know", means that my kid must be taking  A LOT of courses! Hahaha..

Curiosity

Rememember this post? (click the word "this")

Yes.. last weekend, out of my curiosity, I went to Payless shoe store, tried on the size 6 of the same model. LOL! And.. no, it didn't fit.  So I got the right size already, just.. not that right?!

I saw new shoes and sandals..  and I wanted some of them.. yes, "wanted".

Me: "Bagus ngga?"
Him: "Biasa aja.."
Me: "Kalo ini?"
Him: "Bagus.. beli aja.."
Me: "Ah ngga ah, nanti aja balik kalo kebawa mimpi" ;p

Lagi berusahaaaaa banget untuk kontrol diri ngga membeli yang ngga begitu dibutuhkan.  Or paling ngga "pakailah sepatumu sampai rusak, jangan biarkan ada lagi sepatu yang rusak termakan usia di dalam kardus". *ketok-ketok kepala sendiri*.  Jadi bangga sendiri sepatu kitten heels Charles & Keith udah ada kerusakan gara-gara dipake-pake kekantor.  Aneh yah... -_-".

Picture says..

Last Friday we went buying more flowers and.. a new Canary bird.. hehe.. :)

Now we got 3 birds, the bottom one is the
new Canary

Lala poop and pee outside the house.. and when she got
the chance to go out although sometimes it means sneaking out
when someone opens the door, calling her name won't bring her home.

Sunday - Opa & Oma Lefrand Onsoe'
 50th wedding anniversary celebration

Lunch date with husband after a check up in the hospital.
No, I'm not pregnant (yet).

My new Woman @ Work shirt. Hahaha.. :D

Last night I tried to make this drink :)

Lala & Friends (not the artist)

Meet Lala, the Mini Pincher:

Abis dimandiin sama adek ipar :)

Ganti baju

Ketakutan karena hujan & petir :)

Last weekend we went back home to Jakarta to celebrate Papa's birthday (my father in law).
For some reasons, my sister in law asked us to bring Lala to our house at Bandung, and to keep her for some time.  She said "nanti ku ambil lagi yah Kak.." :).

During the first days I met Lala, I was so afraid.  Well I'm afraid of dogs. Duh!
I didn't touch her.. I'm not use to touch animals.. specially those with fur.. I would feel like the fur is on my tongue... err..
So as we take her to our house, it was around 2.5-3 hours ride.. she was being a good dog in the car :D.

I then finally started to touch her more and sit with her in the house.  Hahahaha.. Oh I always wash my hands after I touch her and would touch other stuff, specially food.

Slowly I understand how and why some people would really love their dog(s): giving them good expensive food, buy nice clothes, bring them to pet salon (though the person alone rarely goes to human salon!), and take them to the veterinarian when they're sick (okay, I googled for this term. LOL!).
When Lala is left alone in the house, she would look out from the bottom window with both front feet up.  Hahaha.. :') Pity her.. and when we comes back, she would scratch the door with the crying voice, and when we get in, she would jump and jump and shakes her tail.. LOL!!! She would also stick with someone most familiar to her: with Ramos, my brother in law, and with me and husband when Ramos isn't around.  Hihihihi.. it's funny how she will follow me back and forth.. :D.

Her food? homemade.  Rice+carrot+meat (usually "hati sapi")+a little water.  All mixed and cooked.

Husband cooked for Lala :D

Oh, Lala rarely barks!  Hahahaha.. so the night we arrived from Jakarta, one of the student who was inside her room, thought we brought a kid along, since we were calling " Lala..! Lala..!" and no barking.  Hahahaha..

The friends?
2 days ago we bought 2 birds.  Husband's good idea :).
We'll buy more if we can keep these two alive.  Haha..
Sometimes I remember what my Mom said: "birds are suppose to live freely.." well that's true Mom, but on the other hand, people will still catch & sell.. if we didn't buy it, the others will still buy it.. oh well.. nevermind.. ;(.

Morning routines: put the cages in front of the
house, feed and bath.  Put them back inside
before leaving to the office.

So here are the new pets in our house, though the left one is only temporary:

Lala.  The other two are still anonymous :)).

Buying fishes & stuff later to fill the empty aquarium. Later. Step by step. One by one..
$$$$$$
Can I have them free?? | You wish!!

A pair of happiness ?

all this time, I've been wandering around UP's online shoe store.  Always excited with some new stuff, but as I seriously want to order, I just couldn't pick the right one to choose.  One more thing: "will it look as good as it is in pic? will it fit my feet?".  They have their measurement chart, I tried to measure my feet, it would go with their 36-37 size.  Eh? Well 37 will make sense.. but my size is normally 38, except for Charles & Keith, I have to go down to 37. But 36?

As I see UP's shoes, I can't stand the front, the open-toe.  I think it's too big/wide for me, for my feet are skinny, so with my fingers, they would just slip away.  I really want a try, though.. maybe sometime..

Last sunday after attending a wedding, we went looking for a car service station for new oil, then we went to Istana Plaza and then to Ciwalk.  We dropped by Payless Shoe Store, I went checking on the shoes I wanted about few months ago.. they still have it :) but too bad, no new pair available anymore, so I had to choose a pair from 3 pairs on their display.
Right foot it a bit loose. 
Yes, I bought it. Size 7.

The next morning, I wore it right away to the office, and both were loose!! Aarghh..!! (well you know, the problem with buying shoes in the evening.. a bit swollen feet). That's the only problem you know, no foot blisters, the right height, with rubber soles.  Errrr..!! I've tried this and that, still, haven't find the comfy way to wear it.. ehm.

Karena agak lebar kali yah ternyata sepatunya?
Jadi penasaran sama size 6-nya. Tapi seingat gw waktu itu gw nyoba size 6 duluan deh malah.. tapi sempit. Wait, was it size 6 with the same pair or a different one?? o oww...

14th of February

So how was your V-day?

Ours were:
as we were getting ready for work, a group of students came to our house, delivering flowers with note :).  I didn't know if my husband is an adviser for Accounting Club here in this Univ.  I knew he was for a choir.

Then in the afternoon, he gave me the things he received from the cafeteria : a pink heart-shape chocolate on a stick with note, fruit soup, and he said he ate the heart-shaped watermelon :)).  He also handed me a bar of Snickers from Mrs. Heriyana :)), all those was delivered for all Business Office staff.

I was thinking of having a dinner date near the campus, at Sida Mulya, but then that lunch time BO crew (male only) ate there, so we had a free lunch at that place :D.  Yahoooo!!
"Hari apa nih? main badminton yuk tar sore.." "Hayok!!".  Kalo diajak olahraga mah, gue hayuuuuu!!! Secara gue adalah orang yang not into sports but want to exercise.  So last night, I was sweating like never before here, at UNAI :).

Yesterday also marked the 4th year of the loss of my Mother.  Wow.. time surely flies..  She existed in my dreams for sooo many times, with almost the same dream: she was recovered, because the dreams were too real!!  Don't pity me.  This is life and its' phase.

It's Official

I haven't officially said it yet, eh?

So,

meet the new secretary..

I was going to sell this actually..

But then I used it ;p.
Bebeph gave me 2/3 of the bonus he received and told me:
"buat beli Charles & Keith ya"| "hah?? ngga usah..
ngga usah.. buat kamu aja" I refused| "aah udah.. nih.."|
"makasi yaa.."
:')

Di counter C&K..
"Katanya mau cari tas?"| "waduh yank ga kuat nalangin
selisihnya kalo beli tas"
hahahahaha...

Finally I gave up.  I need face cream.  Face gets so dry
nowadays.. Hope I'll be diligent with this.

Homemade

"TLTSN" pair, I got during SenCy year-end SALE 2011
Guess how much?
IDR99,900 FOR 2 PAIR!! :)). Ok, let's say IDR50,000/pair :))

"Surabi" with various flavors :)

Current reading :). Review to follow after I finish reading both.

I thought this "Wings Fire" level 5 (highest level) will be just hot,
but I was wrong, it was ZUUUPERRR HOOOTTTTHHH!!!
I thought I could handle it just like "Maicih" level 10.
Husband even had to spit and mouthwash :))).

Some in-car-madness & You should read the (bottom) story!!

"7 Eleven" really well translated. LOL!!

This number called, then send me an SMS
like this.. :)) crazy.

My latest findings: hairclips (again) ;p

There's a story behind this last picture.

I bought all these hair clips because I like them, and I think they all worth the price.  Although later I won't be using them on my hair, I can turn them into brooches :).
That isn't the story.

Usually when I buy stuff from the accessories store, it came with a bigger plastic bag.  But that time, it came with a plastic bag that just fit everything inside.  After paying them and walked away few steps, I was thinking whether I should carry it like that, or should I put it inside the other plastic bag (I just bought a Peter Pan collar shirt from another store).  Then I realized the bottom of the bag was ripped.

"Should I go on, put in in the other bag, or get back to the store for another bag?"  I decided to walked 4-5 steps back to the cashier.  I asked for another bag.  Opened the ripped bag in front of her, dropped the stuff on the table, and suddenly surprised that I didn't find the 2 small hair clips, at the same time, she (the cashier) opened her palm, and smiled guiltily. What da heck???? what if I didn't come back???  Into my surprise, my husband and I just walked away, me, still shocked with what had happened.  On the way,  I told him that I should have talked to her before walking away, on what was her intention of doing that.  She could've called me if ever she forgot to put it in.  Watdahel...

Of course I was pissed!!  I just can't understand how someone can do that.
