Answer to my sighs

As we're struggling all these years and still can't get the answers of our waitings (or maybe almost got the answers, or at least one of them). I found a hymn in the book that Marjorie gave me. A book with its beauty of writing and somehow answer my question.

I should put it in my prayers:

Teach me to feel that Thou art always nigh;
Teach me the struggles of the soul to bear-
To check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh;
Teach me the patience of unanswered prayer.

Please, O.. Mighty Lord, patience the impatience me.

love to be Carrie

GA 4th Season

I really want to watch this season, the 4th season :'(

bersih pangkal sehat, empty recycle bin... pangkal?

ada bapak-bapak, cinta banget sama kebersihan, ga bisa liat yg jorok sedikit pun. wajar kan yaa? gwe rasa sih wajar, saking cintanya dgn kebersihan, bapak ini sangat cerewet.

tapi yg bikin bingung, kalo sampe recycle bin di komputer aja dikomentarin, katanya banyak sampah disitu. wajar ga ya?

oia, lupa bilang. bapak itu tuh..

bapakku!

tidur mangap

+: "knapa ya aku ga pernah ilfil sama kamu?"
-: "halah, mulai deh gombalnya!"
+: "beneran, yg wkt itu tuh aku maen catur sama papa kamu, sampe berjam2, kamu nungguin sampe ktiduran di kursi! inget tak?"
-: "hooh inget2, rese deh tuh si adek motoin aku ketiduran sampe mangap!"
+: "iya, aku bukannya ilfil liat kamu tidur mangap bgitu, tapi justru mikir: aduh, kasian skali sayangku kcapean.."
-: "ah, masa sih sayang?"
+: "iya beneran, kali gitu ya kalo pacaran udah serius banget.."
-: "aduh, aku tuh udah ga ada jaim2nya yaaa.. (jadi malu inget tidur sampe mangap2 bgitu)
+: "ah sayang, kamu tuh udah the best-nya aku deh, bisa stroke aku ga ada kamu"
-: (langsung GR! hahahaha)

dislaimer: mouth open while sleeping becomes a habit, caused by the fact of continuous influenza from I was a kid till now.

So many LOVE for me. indeed.

Lagi hepiii!! :)

Ulang tahun kali ini, ga ada pesta gede2lah, ngapain juga, udh lumayan tua euy! heuheuhue..
Pas tgl 20, makan sama papa & Devy, di Restoran Sederhana yang di Gandaria, lagi pengen aja makan masakan minang, abisan dari pulang belom makan itu.

Trus hari ini, ada acara ulang tahun/arisan/halal bihalal Keluarga besar Soerjoatmodjo (alm. Eyang buyut dari pihak eyang ibu gwe), jadinya ruaammmee tenan! yg lucunya, walopun tante-tante gwe udah masak banyak banget, enak banget, tapi emang dasar kami adalah keluarga tukang makan, setiap yg dateng, pasti bawa makanan juga. Kebayang kan makanannya melimpah kaya apaan.

Oom Rully yg ulang tahun, juga adek2 spupu gwe yg msh kecil2, banyak yg Libra ternyata
(gwe moto aja ah..ga ikutan tiup lilin..)

Seneng bgt deh, bude-bude pada pangling ktnya liat gwe, abisan masa dikirain masih kuliah, masih abege.. berarti gwe keliatan masih abege dong ahh... (ngarep! :P )

Pade2 sm Bude2 pada ngerumpi

Kalo keluarga dari eyang ibu pada kumpul, seru banget, tukang becanda, trus suka nyanyi2, pada pinter maen piano (nye, dari sini neeh bakat mu timbul! heuheuheue). udah gitu yg bikin bangga, smuanya pd well-educated banget. so, terjadi perbincangan seru ttg segala macem, krn eyang-eyang yg selama ini tinggal di luar negeri pada ngumpul. pokoknya seneng banget! :)

Spupu-spupu ganjen.. heuheuheue

Trus pulang ke rumah pun seperti biasa disangu-in makanan banyak banget, kalo ada adek gwe pasti lsg abis deh neeh makanan. hihihihi..

Pdk Indah Boulevard, padat merayap, bikin pegel!

sembari jalan pulang, gwe mampir ke rumah Dinda, yg dengan baiknya membawa titipan kado dari Marjorie, makasi ya din, terlebih lagi makasi ya memyku, kamu memang baik sekali, mamah aku sampe terharu, soalnya kamu perhatian banget deh sama aku.
Ritual memberi kado setiap ulang tahun terjadi begitu aja ya memy? ga jadi kewajiban, tapi ga afdol aja kalo ga ngasi, walopun gwe di Groningen pun, kita sama-sama kirim2an kado. Love u darling.

Dapet kado buku dari Marjie, very thoughtful of you dear!

I feel blessed, with many love surrounds me. Thank you, God! :)

Super Woman

Wishing to be a super girl, oh well... a super woman in the years ahead me.
Hopefully more wisdom for me, more patience, and more achievements in life.

Thanks for all my beloved ones, for all the great words, for the great wishes for me..

As my lover said, Honey, get ready! in this age, you're going to be a pregnant woman. Amen yaaa... ;)

Sayaaaang banget sama si Memy ini

U know why, I stunned seeing her profile in friendster. That is why I posted in here. I love you memmmyyy!!! mwaaahh!!

I feel so depressed about lots and lots of thing.

I refused to be a bumper this time. and why this time? :'(

cerita lebaran

Tahun ini Lebaran cukup seru, eh seru banget malahan!
dari pagi gwe udah ribet sana-sini bersihin rumah, yaah..tanggung jawab diselesaikan dulu deh sebelom pergi bersenang-senang sama tante-tante sm pade-padeku. Padahal malemnya baru aja dari dokter di RSPC krn darah rendah kumat, pake acara demam sgala!! jadinya deg2an gitu kalo ga bisa ngumpul-ngumpul.

Kenapa Lebaran ini istimewa? walopun si mami ga turun gunung dari Malang, tapi ada padeku yg emang tumben2nya ada di Jakarta. Biasanya si pade yg adalah anak lelaki nomer 2 di keluarga besar Adinoto, jarang banget bisa ngumpul bareng, karena pekerjaannya yg seorang diplomat.

Grubak grubuk sana sini, akhirnya gwe berangkat dari rumah menuju Kebayoran Lama jam 11.30, si mamah pake acara brisiiiiiikkk banget, abisan doi ngiri critanya.. hihihihi

Eh..yg nyebelinnya, gwe udah nyengir-nyengir, ngebayangin betapa Jakarta pasti indah gara-gara pada mudik, tapi rupa-rupanya warga Cinere ga pada mudiiikk!!! macet gelo! yaa..tapi lumayan deh waktu di arteri PI bisa ngebut smp 60km. hehehe

Sampe di rumah eyang, langsung disambut sama keluarga besar berikut cabang-cabangnya (arti: iparnya tante-tante gwe juga ada), seneng banget!!
eh.. si bude (istrinya si pade), langsung bikin heboh aja gitu, gara-gara gwe yg mau sok-sokan jd abege masa kini dengan memakai baju model baby doll, beliau teriak aja gituu.. "Eh, ini syapa neeh yg hamil?" ampuuunn budeee, saya ga hamil, eh belom..hihihihi

terus yg bikin tambah heboh, dengan kedatangan tante gwe yg cerewet dari Bali (emang tinggalnya di Bali), gwe langsung disembur dengan pengambekan, katanya dia paling ga pernah gwe kasi oleh-oleh.. tentu dijawab sama gwe secara diplomatis: "ya..gimana tan, abisan tante di Bali siy! kalo yg laen mah pasti kebagian abisan di Jakarta!" hahaha... *ngeles kaya bajaj

sun-sunan sama semua orang, langsung deh sang Pade yg gwe ceritain diatas nyosor dengan kecerewetannya (hey, it runs in the family lhoo knapa gwe bisa cerewet bginii!! hahaha)
Pade: "Astried! kata mamah, kamu mau kawin?"
Gwe: (mesem2 malu ahh)
Pade: "Pokonya Pade ga mau tau ya, harus nyungkem dulu kesini itu pacar kamu, minta restu, kalo di Batak, Pade kan Tulang kamu lhoo... ijin harus keluar dari sini dulu!"
Gwe: "Iya, Pade... udah pasti okeh kok ini!" ( hahahahaha)
(dalem ati gwe, aduh si mamah maahh... udah nyebar gosippp aja deh ahh)
Pade: "Ya udah, nanti kawinan juga harus ada siram-siraman ala Jawa lho ya! kamu itu bukan cuma Batak aja lho! darah kamu masih Jawa!"
Gwe: "Ok, Pade! gimana baiknya aja, aku mah nurut ajaaaa!"

langsung deh smua pada seneng, abisan biar gimana juga gwe emang cucu cewe paling gede, bakalan jadi cucu yg pertama kawin, jadinya ya bgitu deh semuanya pada hebooohhh!! tapi walaupun orangtua gwe pisah, bukan berarti dong gwe bukan orang Jawa, pejabat kalo orang bilang (Peranakan Jawa Batak). hehehehe.

Abis itu, seperti biasa acara makan-makan, yg lucunya gwe bingung, tante-tanteku malah bikin lasagna, bukan rendang, atau opor, eh sebenernya makanannya banyak banget, tapi gara-gara santen smua, bingung juga euy makan mulai darimana, yg bisa gwe bilang... diet gwe gagal total 1 hari itu!! tapi seneng dehh!! :)

Sayang ya.. si mamah sama nyenye ga ada di Jakarta, Desember kita kumpul-kumpul lagi ya nyetaaa! miss you!!

*sayangnya poto-poto entah knapa malah jadi video, ini akibat ga pernah duduk diem, ngider kesana kemari di rumah Eyang... hohoho

si ratu internet

Sebagai ratu internet, dengan sombong dan bangganya diriku bisa online trus-trusan sampe jebooooooottt!!


*banyak cerita, tapi malah pengennya nulis celaan, daripada tambah dosa, pending dulu kali yeee...

ciao!

Eid Fitr

Happy Eid Fitr everyone!!

asik asik..Lebaran di rumah eyang, makan enaaaaaaaaaaakkkkkkk!!

d'oh!

I'm getting more cynical to people, those who thinks theirselves is a smart ass..

d'oh!

hari menjadi inem dimulai!

Susah yaa jadi orang baik, mau ngebantu orang dengan kasi informasi yang sekiranya bisa nolongin, eh malah disangka yang lain-lain...ya sudahlah..

Hari ini mulai ga ada mbak di rumah, yak! angkat rambut tinggi-tinggi! Eike jadi inem deh di rumah, sendiriaaannn!! huhuhu.. Udah belanja sgala macem di Giant, kemaren juga udah numpuk sgala daging, ayam, ikan, sayur-sayuran... Hari ini masak daging rendang! hohoho.. enak, makan sendirian tapinya..

How I wish Pipi bisa nemenin, makan bareng :'( huhuhu

good lesson

I'm really looking forward to travel right now, I miss traveling!
I guess a trip to go around Indonesia is not bad at all, in fact.. I must do it! I think the time would be fit when I'm married, because we do love traveling!

Used to be, my dad said, before you know other places, other countries, you should know your Indonesia first, well.. I know Sumatera and Jawa (Bali too), but I haven't got the chance to go to Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Papua etc. I don't mind with the road trip, I like it! Not just once, me and my family traveled from Jakarta to Medan, for 3 days and 2 nights we were hitting the road by car! oh yess... I love the feeling, I love the views, I love the food etc. Humm.. I can say that my family is the adventurous type.

Once, me, mom, nyenye traveled from Jakarta to Bali by bus, because I think at that time, using airplane is not as cheap as now, my mom's sister (my auntie) lives there (Bali) until now. I wonder when can I visit her to Bali again? Maybe while we're on honeymoon..hihih...that would be great!

Also, we went to Malang (my grandparent's hometown) with all the big family, rented a big big bus, ah... by that time, I realized that from my mother's side I have a blood of one of the 'WaliSongo' (9 Wali), from Sunan Bonang, because we stopped to visit his graveyard (ziarah). How cool is that? :) and humm.. sort of Kartini's blood, I guess I know where my rebellious behaviour comes from.. hahaha

Anyways, back to my passion, why I called it passion? because I choose traveling, rather than buying things, that's just one of many things that our parents taught us. They won't spoiled us with things,materials, they want me and my brother to learn things, lots of things, and one of it, is by learning other people cultures, seeing many places and by then.. we can accept many differences from many people.

Likewise, my family is coming from a very opposite family, different culture, different religion, my father comes from North Sumatera (Batak) very discipline, very hard to understand, but in the other hand he has a gold-heart, he likes to help people, indeed. My mom is a blue-relative-blood from East Java, a very independent woman, I learn a lot from her, she always said that to be a woman, you have to be able to do many things, not just be a tough career woman, but also a good house-wife, yes she is :) and I hope I will.. ;)

Both of them are very discipline, if me and my brother wanted something, we have to achieve something first, i.e: good grades in school. Eventhough, they already separated, but both of us are not naughty, and on the right track. I believe, it's because they always give us love, support, a big one, and always teach us many valuable things in our life.

Hopefully, we can make them proud to have us as their children. Amen.

Gunther

smoochy-smoochy

finally, after a while i'm holding myself up not to join another friend-networking (Facebook), (oh yeaah..after Memy as the marketer of facebook already tired to force me to join, ), few weeks ago I decided to join,
well..actually to know and keep updating my friends, especially the LLMers of Groningen.
Although I must to admit, it's a little bit hard for me to keep maintain it. However, this Facebook is interesting with its content. I like when I can send drinks, pizza, hug my friends without actually doing it. Like today, I show in my facebook how I feel today, I'm feeling smoochy-smoochy..why? because I'm feeling a lot like love, well...yes it is love, our love, pipi's love for me.
ah ah ah....

kembaran

bahagia bgt hari ini!
barusan pulang dari PIM, nyari kado buat diri sendiri, eh sama beli blender juga deng di Acehardware.

Sebenernya siy kadonya dari si Pipi, bayangin aja udah brapa lama pacaran ga pernah dia beliin kado yg dibungkus rapi pake kartu ucapan..hehehe, payah yaa, tp seringnya aku dikasi uang aja... jd no complain deh krn udh berlangsung begitu bertahun-tahun. Ulangtahun gwe siy masih 18 hari lagi, tapi udah dikasi uangnya kemaren sm si Pipi, jd daripada kepake buat yg ga jelas, eike memutuskan untuk membeli jam tangan! hehehe... Neng Marjie pasti tau bgt apapun yg terjadi gwe slalu tergila-gila sama jam, baju? tas? ahh..ga penting! hihihi..=D

Setelah muter-muter bingung mau beli apaan, akhirnya mutusin beli jam udah gitu dpt diskonan! lalu kutelp lah si pacar:
A: "Pa, aku beli jam niy jadinya, dpt diskon 25% lumayan bgt jatuhnya!"
B: "oya? ya udah gpp na, asal kamu suka aja"
A: "Eh tapi ada pasangannya juga lho paaa"
B: "Masa siy ma? bagus emangnya?"
A: "ya bagus dong...aku gitu lho kalo milih barang pasti bagus!"
B: "brapaan?"
A: "Rp***" (ceritanya disensor! hihihi)
B: "ohh...trus gimana menurut mama?"
A: (bingung, kok dia nanya, maxudnya apaan yaakk?) "ehmm..yaa lucu juga siy ya kalo jam kita berpasangan pa! tapi ya terserah papa dehhh!"
B: "aduh aku siy terserah mama aja deh, aku jd labil niy pengen beli juga!"
A: "hahahahaha...ya udah aku liat2 dulu yaa...kalo mau juga aku beli deh pa"
B: "OK!"

Setelah bingung dihadapkan oleh 5 pasang jam tangan yg sama kecenya, akhirnya eike memutuskan 1 pasang jam simpel, keren..ah senangnya! langsung laporan sama sang pacar, kalo udah dibeli! ehh dia malah pengen langsung dikirimin!
jadi mikir, lah ini yg ulangtahun siapa yaak? hahahaha... well, it's his money though, jadi biarin aja deh! aku pun senang bisa kembaran jam, setelah henpon pun kembaran....hohoho...makasi sayangku! you're the best! ever!

recipe

tadi malem acara kumpul2nya lumayan sukses, walopun ga smua anggota tim hore dateng, tapi okelah, nice ambiance di rumah sally, thanks ya mom! heiehiheie...

kolak candil dgn modal Rp. 10rb pun cukup lumayanlah disantap, makanan2nya juga enak! kayanya baru kali ini gwe masakin kolak buat anak2, rasanya? yaah...sip dong pastinya, ditanya gimana cara buatnya? gampang ah.. actually, masak itu cuman masalah lo malas atau ga kok. smua pasti bisa masak. kalo gwe? yaahh..mungkin karena saya juga merupakan ibu rumah tangga yang belom menikah, tapi untuk 10 tahun ini gwe yg ngatur rumah.. :)

kebetulan mamaku sayang pun pandai skali memasak, i think it runs in our blood, dr mulai (alm.) eyang ibu (iya, kebiasaan manggilnya bukan eyang putri) juga pinter masak, trima2 pesanan kue, catering2an sampe skarang pun masih berjalan. bahkan mama juga punya restoran..hihihi...jd kalo anaknya sampe ga bisa masak, bisa abis gwe dicubitin sm emak gwe...

okay kembali ke cerita buka puasa kemaren, seneng banget bisa makan, nyanyi2 karaoke-an, sampe maen bilyard! hahaha.. the little Tachtyana pun sptnya ikut pusing karena temen emaknya banyak, brisik pula! pulang sampe rumah sayang2an sm pacar..

kebetulan pas tgl 30 kmrn, pas bgt kami berdua anniversary-an yg ke 6,5 tahun! kalo ditanya apa resepnya? bagaimana bertahan dalam hubungan yg selalu jarak jauh..well, sama aja kok kaya memasak, ada niat, dan tentunya penuh dengan berbagai bumbu berbau kasih sayang. love u pipi! wish us luck yaa!!
