Sekolah dan Menikah

Mama :

Investasi Papa yang paling besar itu di anak-anaknya. Kecuali kamu, kamu SD sampai SMA, negeri yang bayarannya ga pernah diatas Rp 50.000. Kuliah cuma bayar taun pertama, didiskon lagi. Ampe wisuda malah ga bayar apa-apa...

Diantara adek-adek kamu kan kamu yang sekolah paling murah.. Makanya kawinan kamu gede-gedean.

Me :

Hah?

In A Rush

I started to think of how my life will goes later...

and I started to understand.

Right now, I need to chop my body in 3 pieces.

1 for me, 1 for my work, 1 for my family (which consists of his and mine)

anyway, I'm enjoying it :)

rr.. okey, i'll think about the other later. :P

Prewedding Pictures

Last Sunday my soulmate and I were taking prewedding pictures. Very sorry I can't upload it now. BIG SURPRISE hahaha... (i know, the title cheated you hahaha)

Anyway, our pictures were taken by Andi Sufyandi (+628122050551). During photo session, this guy -without realizing at all- had his wallet accidentally opened by my Sis (because she thought it was my fiancee's wallet) and accidentally taken to the office by my Dad (because he thought it was his wallet) hahaha

Our make up were done by Dyah Margiastuti (+628129459142). Tante Dyah is now enjoying her 51st years of living, having 1 grand daughter, yet still productive and stunning!

Here are some peek of their work (but not for my prewed pictures)

Tante Dyah's magic tricks:

Andi's magic clicks:

do contact them soon, they won't disappoint you :)

High Tension

Before I decided when to get married, lots of people told me that the preparation of a wedding is one big mess. A mix of fun, excitement, horror, stress, pressure and hope. with a sprinkle of lovey-dovey and conflict. Abang once told me that when those frictions happen, we both are the one supposed to stay calm. I agree with that, but sometimes things are easier said than done. I kinda feel the tension around is pretty unstable and high. Especially when my work forces me to spend more time on it... Then, I seem to be the person who cannot hold the patience.

Don't know why,,

maybe because when everyone seem to take high-pitched voice tone or being cynical or being doubtful or yelling or getting mad at me, I manage to hold my grudge..

And maybe, I want people to do things I've done for them (pretty much holding up to the sayings: if you want people to do things you want them to do to you, do the things to people)...

And maybe, I need to learn more about fixing myself to get a better me. .

And maybe, I need to start smiling again even though things are complicated and everyone around me are being stressful too..

I definitely have to pray more. Well, if I can coupe with all of the thoughts and the problems that come, then I can get along well right? It's for my future anyway :')

So Called Sports Day

I was doing 2 sports today:

First, Mom+I took a fabrics-hunting sport @ mayestik. Yes, for the wedding kebayas+suits. Thought that we're going to look for mine first, and the rest can wait until the other day.

We go hunting to 2 shops first, one has this 50% discount for all stuffs, one has lots of men's fabrics. Bought 1 for my ceremony and 2 (for reception+ceremony) for my beloved soulmate, Abang (in the end of my day, we just realized that the fabric Abang is going to use for ceremony didnt really match my kebaya fabric. So we decided to borrow it form the make up artist, but we're going to buy the batik and etc.).

Mom was pretty much confuse about the colours of the jilbab for the kebayas, so the guy in the 2nd shop pointed us to this shop called Purnama Tekstil. We ended bought the uniforms for ceremony and reception for our parents, grannies, aunties, sisters, and brothers over there.

We also bought fabrics for my reception. It's my most expensive fabrics, and very much the apple of my eye! I think i'll end up gazing/adoring/memorizing it before have it being sewn. We also being served with cappucinos, croissants, samosas (which they wrapped too so i can bring them home), sate ayam and teh tawar. Definitely my most expensive snacks+lunch. hahaha

Second, I'm swimming!!! yeaaay!!! Abang sms-ed me saying that he didnt quite feel good so he wanted me to accompany him swimming. Right after i came home, Abang pick me up to swim in Ocean Park. never really liked the place, but i think swimming in the afternoon over there is OK. Wasn't too crowded and we can swim in the riverstream pool without any hesitation :). I am so gonna take my Abang for swimming again, I love swimming and I love it more when Abang is with me! ^^

Actually, the reason why Abang was dropping by was because we had our appointment with our future photographer being cancelled because his boss suddenly asked him to accompany the office's client. Kinda disappointed especially Abang drove real far from Jatibening just to meet him @ the very first place. I know he's very tired. Seeing him coming without even thinkin about his tireness reall put me in a very ambiguous feeling. Touched, for he came all the way for the sake of our wedding preparation and for swimming with me, but kinda sad seeing him super tired like that. Probably I love him too much, I'm being over-worried.

Thank God, Dad's fave guy to sew his suit was dropping by to fit Dad+Abang's height so the suit can be sewn real fast! Quite paid Abang's effort to come all the way! :)

It's a nice day.
