ayooo, hari ini hari terakhir kerja sebelum liburrrr for the next 12 days! horaaaay! :)

sekalian mengucapkan selamat hari idul fitri untuk teman2 yang merayakan, di mana pun kalian. Mohon maaf lahir & batin dari kami berdua.

rencana mudik tahun ini: h-3 sampai hari-h stay di jakarta bersama keluarga senna. hari-h sore sampai h+4 di bandung bersama keluarga saya.

oya, beberapa target sebelum lebaran: beliin kado ultah ke 3 ponakan qistan, dan nonton laskar pelangi (walopun pesimis dapet tiket).

:) senang :)

beberapa hari terakhir ini, kita berdua sering denger lagu ini di radio. yang nyanyi sindencosta, band indie dari bandung. lirik, musik, dan suara yang nyanyinya lucu deh (lucu=unik=bagus).

ini nih liriknya:

Dulu kita sahabat
Teman begitu hangat
Mengalahkan sinar mentari
Dulu kita sahabat
Berteman bagai ulat, berharap jadi kupu-kupu

Kini kita berjalan berjauh-jauhan
Kau jauhi diriku karena sesuatu
Mungkin kuterlalu bertingkah kejauhan
Namun itu karena kusayang

Persahabatan bagai kepompong
Mengubah ulat menjadi kupu-kupu
Persahabatan bagai kepompong
Hal yang tak mudah berubah jadi indah
Persahabatan bagai kepompong
Maklumi teman Hadapi perbedaan
Persahabatan bagai kepompong
na..na..na..na..na..na

eh, habis baca bener2 liriknya, gue jadi melankolis. inget sahabat2 yg dekat dan yg pernah dekat. ah, semoga aja yg sedang dekat tidak akan menjadi yg "pernah dekat".

nananananaaaa.. persahabatan bagai kepompong :)

yesterday was my 28th birthday and i feel so blessed.
this year's birthday means so much more than just a birthday.
i am a wife to my dearest husband,
and soon, to be a mother.

thank you all my dearest friends and family for sending your best wishes and pray on my birthday.
there's nothing more i could wish for :)

off course, the best gift was coming from my husband.
he set his alarm at midnight, and congratulate me on bed with his eyes nearly closed.
oh my, if you happen to know him well, he's so famous of being a "sleeper".
waking up in midnight, just to say happy birthday.. is something priceless for me :)
thank you hubbie, love you much.

cerita sahabat

ga tau ya, somehow, gue ngerasa, suatu hari nanti gue bakal deketan lagi ama my crazy sisters. walopun yg satu lagi di amrik (dan kayanya bakalan lama bgt di sana), yg satu di brasil (masih ga jelas sampai berapa lama), dan yg satu lagi di pekanbaru (ga jauh2 amat sih, tapi tetep aja susah ketemunya).

kami berempat punya karakter yg beda bgt satu sama lain, tapi bisa aja nyambung sampe sekarang. kita ga kontak2an tiap hari sih, atau bahkan tiap minggu..tapi yg namanya heart-to-heart conversation, pasti ada aja. ga mengenal jarak. bahagia rasanya punya kalian, walopun udah lebih dari 6 tahun kita ga deketan satu sama lain(ga kaya waktu kuliah dulu. bisa dibilang tiap hari ketemuan), i can still feel your existance and love near me.

1995-1998 sma 3 bandung, gue ga pernah sekelas ama 3 orang tubbies ini
1998-2002 tk itb (belajar, nongkrong, tidur, masak, dll...bareng! sering sekelompok brg, partneran labtek/penelitian)
2002 gue ke jkt, 3 tubbies msh di bdg
2003 gue dan indri di jkt, 2 tubbies di bdg
2003 gue ke paris, ena ke hamburg, anis ke eindhoven, indri di jkt

--> oya selama 3 tubbies ini sekolah lagi di eropa, kita suka sowan2an lho. ada beberapa sesi jalan2 di belanda, paris, dan jerman. terakhir kayanya desember 2005 gue maen ke tmp ena di hamburg, dan kita jalan ke berlin :) so nice.. :)
dan satu remark lagi, tempat berkunjung buat ngerasain masakan indo yg enak adalah kalo maen ke tmp anis. bukan karena di belanda banyak resto indo, tapi karena tubies yg satu ini demen dan jagoan masak :) nyummm :)

2006 anis ke texas, gue ke balikpapan, ena ke jkt, indri ke bdg
2007 ena ke brasil, indri ke pekanbaru
2008 gue ke jkt --> movement terakhir tubbies
??year?? everyone's moving to jkt??? amiiin, really hope so. lucu juga kalo one day bisa sering2 ketemuan kalian bersama anak2 dan suami2 :)

really really miss you girls.. take care take care wherever you are!

a friend is about to start a new life, far far away from here. we've already been parted for about 6 months now. before, we saw each other every day. i even sat in front of her! yeah well, she's my team leader. we shared the same room :)

for these last 6 months, communication isn't really a problem. we're just phone call away. her town is only 1 hour ahead of mine. but her new place? hmmm i'll be 5-6 hours ahead of her, not that easy, even for a phone call.

end of last year, we had some life decisions which led us to separate place, but for the better offcourse, for me and also for her. we're both happy for each decision even if we might not have a chance to be face to face again in the future. i was real sad to leave. every one in our office became the witness of that. even our office corridor witnessed the tears we shared and shed that gloomy afternoon.

now, it's her turn to leave the country. i have so much pray, wishes, and confident in my heart that she will lead her way all the way up. perhaps thing won't be easy, but remember, i'll be here. you know i will. as you were always there for me, during my rough and good times.

today she wrote me a note. i'll keep it for the rest of my life:
"ada-ada aja cara Allah itu menunjukkan jalannNya..
kalo kita emang bener2 bersabar..."

hugs and kisses for you girl, and take a very good care there.
