a glimpse of LolaLolyBugsy

2011-12-30T22:47:00.000-08:00

it's new year's eve and I'm still stuck at the office .. hopefully we can go home by 15.00
I've bought the lollies that Shafa and Kaysa had been asking for ..
while doing my work it always relieving for me to stroll around LolaLolyBugsy photos. Here they are :

another year

2011-12-29T01:53:00.000-08:00

Another year nearly flewn by .. my baby boy grows out so fast right before my very eyes ..
Dear God, please allow me to cherish and adore Your mighty creations .. Subhanallah .. Allahu Akbar ..
I want to be reminded of their baby's memories .. as often as possible ..

tough week

2011-11-15T23:43:00.001-08:00

Because our nanny is visiting her hometown .. I managed to get my annual leave ( with note : that I'm available on call if there's any urgent matters, alritey then ) ..
A lot of work to be done to maintain our house not too damaged (caused by my three little rascals creativity) .. but I enjoyed every minute of it. My favorite moments :
- when I mop the floor, and Al wants to walk on it.. I told him not too because it's slippery. What he did : he tip toed !!
- when Shafa told me why she refused to go outside because she envied her sister playing with other cousins
- when Al refuse to take a nap, and wanted to accompany me had lunch .. and after a few minutes he fell asleep while hugging me
- when Kaysa and I laugh hard after commenting her fellow friends / school activities
- when Shafa and Al wanted to eat their meal hastily
- our day off at fun world / bambino grand indo after daddy went to his office to sign some papers (it's on thursday afternoon until 10 pm wohoooo)
and many more (i should've wrote it before they slipped my mind)

But now the nannies are back, so mom need to get back to work, back to oriflame, lolalolybugsy and many other matters .. but I treasure my last week with the kiddos .. and I miss them already much :'(

happy bday to me

2011-10-17T23:21:00.000-07:00

I can't count the blessings that had been given to me .. thank you dear God for everything

today

2011-10-16T21:53:00.000-07:00

My husband is away for business trips .. which is sucks cause today is my bday..
I can't asked for a leave since my leave quota is dedicated for next month when my nanny will go to visit her hometown.
My boss .. well he said I've been asking too many times for permission leave :P ..
so I end up here in my office doing daily routine ..

Since a few weeks ago my fellow mommies talked about schools for their kids.. some are thinking of putting their kids to another school which they think is more qualified. I found many schools have better methods but looking at their tuition .. I repel sending my kids to go there. I found my kids current school is not that bad .. well many times I was disappointed cause the teacher could not give more attention to my kids, but when I'm in his/her position I'd probably do the same. There are 20+ kids in the classroom so it's hard to maintain our emotions and keep being cheerful/nice and at the same time pay good attentions to every kid.

In reality, kids need to be faced that the environment sometimes are not that friendly. Sometimes we have to fight and strive to get what we want, not waiting until someone give it to us. So I try not to rely on the school too much. Teacher are human like us too, and they can not guarantee that our children will be able to do math/reading through their studying time at school. We as parents still need to guide our children, thought them what they need to know in a fun way. We know them more than their teacher knows them, and we have plenty of time to spend with them, so I think parents are still better teacher for their children.

>>Praying and hoping that our kids can go through whatever curriculum set for them, and be successful leaders in the future<<

specially made for miss D

some medicine note

2011-06-19T20:31:00.000-07:00

My 3 kids are often got caught on flu, sore throat, and fever. Our companies don't cover our kids out patient .. and you know how expensive if we need to go to doctor every time our kids suffer from a disease .. It can cost 300-400rb IDR per children.
Luckily my dear aunt is a pediatrics so I often consult with her. From time to time, my children were given similar prescriptions;
If they got fever caused by an infection (which you can see from their throat, it should be reddish), she would prescribed amoxsan syrup (from baby until 15kg) or amoxsan forte syrup (from 15 kg). Those are antibiotics that should be finished in 3-4 days. Do not let our kids drink any milk before and after they took the antibiotics. Allow 30mins - 1 hour time in between.
If they got a flu/sore throat (not the heavy one), I give them natrabio cough and flu syrup. It cost us 150rb per bottle, but it is made from herbal medicine so it's safe for our kids.
If they got a quite heavy cough / sore throat, they should be given mucopect/mucos/any syrup with ambroxol when the cough came with slam. For dry cough, my aunt often recommends transpulmin (1/2 sdt for children under 2 years old).

is it ok ?

2011-06-13T21:00:00.000-07:00

I'm having my period and my mood is a bit jumpy ..
I realized that I really need to loose some weights so I plan to do little exercise every night. I looked for the video over Youtube.
However, my daughters last night are watching youtube for princesses movie .. after 9 o'clock I beg them to switch for my video (please.. mommy really need some exercise). You know how kids can be so selfish ? I really don't know the best way to handle it. Sometimes I told them nicely to share with others .. and last night it didn't work. So I started to use higher tone, because I don't want them to be selfish. And I want them to respect their parents.. I know it sounds horrible when you speak like that to your children. It might make you like a bad mom who didn't love their kids .. but at the same time kids should know there are boundaries ..
(well I prefer to do it in a room with no one else around).

Enough about my rambling. I want to post a knit dress I made for my 2nd daughter. I just love the color combo.
I don't know why Shafa posed like that (with holding the cup as is she's drinking something). Well that girl is something ^^

stop press

2011-06-01T02:38:00.000-07:00

Stop press !!! my baby boy is standing !!!
well he's been doing that since weeks ago, but not as high as this one .. and not as long as this one too
I know this milestone might be a bit late compared to other kids, but who cares ?
we are currently sad .. because our fridge (given by my parents) is broken .. I'm really really hoping it could get fixed tomorrow (without much costs). Why we're so sad ? because we used to put many food for kids / for stock in it. Since I'm working I don't have much time to do grocery, so I tend to buy many food for stock.
Yesterday I bought this frozen butter croissant, but since the fridge is broken, the butter croissants were expanding, popped and ready to explode. My kids are playing with it, my nannies didn't know what to do and too busy with the kids. When I found out after I got home, I hurriedly open it up and bake them .. Thank goodness they are still in good conditions.

Do you know that my girls adore their baby brother? They do, they like to hug him, kiss him .. which I think is very cute ^^

PS : all pictures were taken by my nanny since it all happening when I was in the office / at the road "P

not in a good mood

2011-05-06T01:36:00.000-07:00

Today I'm not in a good mood, although it's weekend already. I know it's not a good thing to write, but I just want to express whatever I feel so I can feel much better after that.
Some people commented that my baby boy is too skinny, and he might have some worms inside his tummy .. I hope that's not true ..
All of my 3 kids just suffered from a fever this week, yes it's been a tough week for us. Their weight might be decreasing.
I've been postponing my kids vaccination schedule because of their diseases .. Thank God 2 of 3 kids are healthy today, so our job for the next few days it too fulfill their appetite so they can compensate their weight loss.
I just registered my second child preschool. Everyday I always update my budget sheet .. and whenever I go to the market I always told myself not too buy anything apart from my plan (hate doing it :( ) .. but it's for our own good sake.
Whenever I feel bad like this I always want to do shopping, and I've been longing for fabric shopping for weeks now :( I know I already had lots of fabrics, but having many patterns is good for my creativity :)
Alhamdulillah one customer of mine ordered another dress for her child, it's using shirring method which is new for me. I just shirred the front part. I plan to make the pattern today, hopefully I can finish the dress on sunday.

Oh and also, my dearest baby boy birthday is yesterday! we didn't do anything fancy, just order a 3D cars birthday cake and my kids blowing the candle in the morning. Dek Al, bunda loves you soo much, bunda did make some prayers for you, it's not only for your birthday.. Bunda tries to do it as often as bunda could :)

Another news, I found a dress made by overseas designer quite similar like the dress I made a year ago !!
I feel so overwhelmed, *ge er maksudnya :)

moms knit top

2011-04-25T23:31:00.000-07:00

My mom bought this knit fabric for her top, she asked me to sew it.. Oh, as long as the fabric is not too expensive I'd love to do it. I trace her top to make the pattern, the chest part supposed to be wavy .. after I sewed it, it turned out very odd .. I cut it, and try again.. after several attempts I use straight cut for the chest and it turned out okay, but resulting in a shorter top (too short for my mom) :P I'm sorry mom, better luck next time ^^
Another project is remodel my daughter's legging .. the legging is supposed to have ruffles in its bottom, but I don't know what I was thinking at that time, I only used half part of my cut fabrics .. so the ruffle is not too puffy. I want to remodel it using lace fabrics, it takes only 5 minutes to cut the old ruffle and sew the new lace fabric. Love the result.

planning my 2nd child preschool

2011-04-24T21:57:00.000-07:00

I've been browsing and surveying some preschool near our house ..
it seems so easy when I did this 2 years ago for my oldest .. but now that my oldest will enter primary next year .. and my second will enter kindy too next year, I'm calculating and .. I have to take a very deep breath .. the numbers are there ..
my husband and I will have to work hard in making .. planning.. budgeting.. executing everything in order for us to achieve the goals; able to put our kids in their dream school with our own money ..
Fingers crossed .. believe in ourselves that we can do it .. God will lead us the way .. Insya Allah ..

dc cupcakes

2011-04-17T21:06:00.000-07:00

I just watched the serial last night, and I love it! together with junior master chef Australia is a perfect weekend wrapped up for me. My daughter like it as well she began to draw picture of cakes with some figurine (picture soon), and she insisted me to make that cake last night. I was so tired and I didn't have any cake supplies .. so I passed it, she cried and I have to persuade her and make her calm.

I promise I will buy the cake supplies tomorrow so we can bake anytime we like. And make cupcakes !
I was horrible in making big cakes (it failed the first time and I have no courage to make the second one) .. and it will result in huge cake and no body can finish it so it ended up in trash :( that's why I prefer baking small amount of cookies or cakes (cupcakes sounds good rite ?).

friends wedding

2011-03-21T22:31:00.001-07:00

We went to friends wedding last Sunday. It was held in Bandung, Bumi Sangkuriang. It's an outdoor party (good thing because the building is old, so it will need lots of decoration). I'm in love with the decorator taste .. they are into details, very neat, creative. I always adore Bandung atmosphere and their talented artists .. somehow together they really make the 'Bandung Paris van Java' idiom come into reality.
I wish I brought my kids here, the view is spacious, I'm sure they would love to play in there .. But I remember that our reason is to avoid morning rush with the kids, their boredom in the way to Bandung and also their impatience of waiting their mommy shopping :)

first crunches, done !

2011-03-21T21:04:00.000-07:00

Okay, the excess fat in my tummy really2 annoys me .. It's hard for me to find the right size of pants without squeezing my tummy .. i know, it's been my problem since my first delivery, but after three consecutive pregnancies and deliveries, the excess fat I had now is the biggest ..
At first, I want join aerobic classes, but I don't think I have the time. So last night I did several crunches in bed. After 20 sit ups, I was lack of breath .. *ngos2an ceritanya ..
but my oldest was cheering me up .. She said 'Ayo bunda, olahraga (come on bunda, keep practising) !'
she tried to do the same exercise .. I was so touched ;')
I plan to do this every night .. wish me luck

arisan RT

2011-03-15T21:57:00.000-07:00

It's my first time hosting arisan RT (group of people in our community gather around to collect some money for public services and chit chat in) .. There will be around 30 people coming, and with the 250k rupiah given I should be able to provide some snacks and light meal. So we're making soto mie from here, and I bought the snacks from the pastry shop. The result is quite delightful (thanks to my lovely assistants, and it cost us around 300-350k (include the extra tips for my assistants) .

nutella cookies

2011-03-15T03:06:00.000-07:00

My daughter is so persistent she made me make a choc.olate chip cookie last sunday .. with any supply you had (she wouldn't care if I don't have this and that, I have to make it !)
ok, if its not because of her persistency, I might never discover this recipe by myself.
my lack of cocoa powder supply brings this recipe to another account.
check it out :

Ingredients :
---------------
140gr flour
100gr caster sugar
1 egg
75gr margarine
2 sachet of koko crunch
chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda (soda kue)
1 teaspoon vanilla crystal
pinch of salt
2 tablespoon of nutella

how to :
----------
mix together flour, caster sugar, baking powder, vanilla, baking soda, salt and nutella
in separate bowl, mix or blend margarine and egg until they are soft and well beaten
crush the koko crunch into little crumbs
put it inside the flour mix, and then put the margarine-egg blend also
stir it using big spoon until they change color into chocolate and until evenly beaten
last but not least, pour the chocolate chips inside the cookie dough

preheat the oven 150-180 C. I use 150 C because of the power consumption ;P
meanwhile, prepare the bread paper on top of the loyang
kids could help shaping the cookie dough ..

careful, you might caught them eating the dough ;)

bake the cookie 15-30 min depending on the temperature you used.
do not bake too long if you want to get the chewy version

there you go, its soo easy.

your kid could also help stuffing the cookies inside the cookie jar ..

as you can see, my oldest didn't care about the cookies anymore (that's sooo her !)

voila .. all done (clap clap clap)

yes you can keep it dear ;) don't forget to share it to your little brother ..
he has been peeking all day long

playing with my pocket

2011-03-13T21:37:00.000-07:00

Husband knows how much I want to purchase new SLR .. I want it badly ..
but we are in a situation that it has to come after other priorities ..
I must not complain, I have blessed with soo many things that I could not mention one by one ..
In the mean time, I play around with my pocket ;)
I bought it 2.5 years ago, a few days before the birth of Shafa .. we have to document it right ?
it cost us 1.5 mill (klo gak salah).

shafa 5 mon

2011-03-03T02:34:00.000-08:00

I nearly forgot how cute shafa was when she's 5 month old.

Look at her now (32 mon), soo pretty and girly. Her smile could melt any hearts away.
Shafa, eat well ok.. It really hurts Bunda everytime Bunda received news from the nannies that you do not want to eat rice .. or when it took 1-2 hours for you to finish the meal (with several 'lepehan' of course).

I love you soo pumpkin ..

playing around with SLR camera

2011-02-28T20:54:00.000-08:00

My husband's friend is so kind that he lent us his SLR .. we use it last weekend, and the result really really beautiful .. all (well most of the) photos came out really clear and into details .. it's best when used outside without flash. We're hoping that soon we can purchase one .. hehe.. the good version of course (praying praying)

this is really scary

2011-02-23T22:51:00.000-08:00

Just found this article from the internet .. really scary phenomena, but reminded me as parents to spend more quality time with my children, teach them more in prayers, and reading Qur'an (which I also seldom do :( ) .
I do not know about other parents, but luckily my husband and I are not gamers, we play games sometimes but not that much ..
I don't know about boys, but my girls are not into games too. When my boy is grown up we might let him know that according to us games are for entertainment only.. that's all, apart from that it will bring no good, so use your time wisely.

my second order

2011-02-23T00:44:00.000-08:00

Just finished up my second order; sooo happy about it.
My middle child is wearing two of them .. a bit too large for her.
Currently I'm doing another tutu projects .. if I have the time, should be finished this week (yup, it so hard to find free time nowadays, I'd rather spend my time playing with the kids).

Office space is not too friendly nowadays, well still trying to be cheerful and happy and try not too worry about it. I'm sure that God will lead me the best way, I'm strong and not afraid of anything because I have Him..
Still, my kids will always brighten my day after I got home.. Love them all.. muaah

A friend of mine, asked which kids is our fave .. well to be honest, we love them all the same, they're different between one and another.. and our home will never be the same without them ..
My oldest yesterday made this vegetable person (probably she was inspired by the tv show). She asked me for vegetables early in the morning .. after getting what she wanted to do, I gather the onion leaves, baby carrot etc .. Here's the result. She also made the illustration. Cute rite ?

my baby boy

2010-12-15T18:22:00.000-08:00

cepet banget kamu gedenya sih dek .. hixx
yang sehat yaa.. yang kuat .. jasmani rohani ..

about travelling

2010-12-05T21:03:00.000-08:00

setelah anak pertama lahir dan pindah ke company baru, aku selalu minta role without travelling, no working late hours (unless ada project yang sifatnya once in a while).. I feel good for few years .. tapi kadang sempat tergelitik menyaksikan orang lain bolak balik ke luar negeri .. dan bagaimana orang lainnya 'seperti' menganggap diriku remeh temeh karena selalu di jakarta ajah ..
suamiku kemaren bilang .. mungkin taun ini ke bangkok, kamu jd mo ikut ? bangkok biasa aja kok .. believe me ..
aku pikir2 lagi dong, kepikir cost nya sama cutinya sama rasa bersalah meninggalkan si kecil ..
oya, fyi .. rata2 orang yang ke LN itu masih asia2 aja sih, singapore, KL, bangkok .. yah pastinya dong, kan tiket keluar asia lebih muahal lg ..
semalem pas nonton travel living channel, globe trekkernya lg ke calcutta ..
Masya Allah orang2 disana kok serem2 gitu tampangnya (rata2 item2 banget, kumis tebal2) , kayak preman .. terus kumuh banget yak
perasaan aku masih lebih nyaman jalan2 ke jawa ketimbang ke calcutta :P
yah ternyata luar negeri gak keren2 amat ..
mm mungkin bangkok kayak gini jg .. begitu pula dengan negara2 asia lainnya hihihi ..
soo I don't mind not going there, at least for now ..
(klo ada yg pergi ke jepang, korea baru deh beda ceritanya huehuehue)

ketika anak jatuh dari tempat tidur

2010-12-05T19:57:00.000-08:00

It's one of my worst nightmare .. sampai sekarang masih menyesali mengapa terjadi .. mengapa aku bisa selengah itu .. tapi yang terjadi sudah terjadi dan tidak bisa dipungkiri hixx ..
Biar anak udah 3, tetep aja masalah jatuh2an aku selalu traumaaa
I know kemungkinan untuk ini selalu ada, aku udah pikirin dari jauh2 hari, sempet bikin pembatas guling, tapi cuma bikin 1 sisi karena alhasil tempat tidur nya jd sempit banget ..
Mau ditaro di box, tapi baby gak nyenyak boboknya, terus kitanya gak bisa ngelonin ..
Mau beli kasur buat ditaro di bawah dimentahin sama suami ktnya kasur kita jd banyak banget doong .. *plis deh, namanya jg punya anak kecil
Soo, bukan salahku seorang kan ? karena orang lain cuma mengomentari bukannya memberi solusi *_*

I found a good article, summarynya adalah :
- kalau anak masih nangis dan badannya masih gerak, boleh diangkat dari tempat jatuh dan ditenangi
- kalau anak gak sadar/tidak seperti keadaan di atas, jangan diangkat karena takut malah memperparah
- observasi 2x24 jam, gerakkan tangan, kaki, kepala ditolehkan kanan kiri, atas bawah .. kalau menangis berarti ada yang keseleo, bisa di bawa ke dokter / tukang urut
- waspadai kalau anak sampai muntah tersembur (segera bawa ke dsa)
- perhatikan bagaimana jatuhnya anak, apakah langsung ke tempat datar / sempat terbentur sesuatu dulu.
- perhatikan bagian yang lebam, seperti dada/kepala/ dsb, kalau mencurigakan segera bawa ke dokter
- untuk bagian lebam, apabila tidak luka bisa diobatin dengan antitrauma oles (seperti thrombopop, thrombogel)

Ya Allah senantiasa lindungi anak-anak kami .. La Hawla Walaa Quwwata Illa BIllahil Aliyyil Azim

my scrapping mood is back again !!

2010-10-05T23:15:00.000-07:00

Hello people, guess what .. my scrapping mood is back again !!! I'm soo happy.
How did it happen? when I was putting my layout into my new store (check it out : http://lolalolybugsy.multiply.com/photos/album/5/graphic_designs), I just realized that I've done something sweet back then .. treasuring my children moments into scrap pages .. I love seeing them and it reminds me that I used to be that creative .. and can be that skillful using photoshop .. Before that I also scrapped al's banner for his blogspot ... So there you go .. enough reasons to bring my mood back again ..
The problem now is : do I have enough time to scrap ? my work load at the office is quite high, and I haven't spent much time in my new hobby .. and time for pump, time for playing with the kids ..
Oh well .. we'll see lah :)
This is al's banner :

feeling blue

2010-09-24T01:32:00.002-07:00

Because my dear uncle passed away last week, and I just found out that a good neighbor of mine also passed away today. They both are good people and their death happened so sudden without any sickness / health matters.
Ya Allah, semua keduanya diampuni dosanya, dilapangkan kuburnya, dijauhkan dari siksa kubur maupun siksa neraka dan ditempatkan di syurgaMu .. amin ..
To Om Adri and Pak Eddy, we're going to miss you ..

about asi

Dear God, please, kindly allow me to be able to fullfill my baby's appetite with my rich breast milk until 6 months at least .. Amiin

kalau disuruh memilih

2010-08-30T21:02:00.000-07:00

ada yang punya banyak perhiasan bertatahkan berlian, tapi suaminya udah tua .. dan kawin lagi
ada yang gonta ganti mobil mewah, tapi sampe sekarang belum bisa punya anak
ada yang gak kerja karena uang belanja udah cukup, tapi hidupnya membosankan .. bingung mo ngapain lagi karena segalanya udah ada
ada yang dikasih rumah warisan ortu (jd gak perlu pusing nyari rumah and menyicilnya) .. tapi ortunya udah gak ada, gak ada yang disambangin pas lebaran nanti ..

kalau disuruh memilih, aku lebih memilih keadaanku sekarang ..
be grateful of what you have ..

I'm baaaack !!!

2010-08-23T23:55:00.001-07:00

Akhirnyaaa aku kembali menorehkan tulisan di blogku tercinta inih .. kemaren2 gak sempet, males, gak semangat de el el ..
Aku balik kerja lagi tgl 3 Agt kemaren setelah ngelahirin anak ke-3 sih alde yang ganteng nan lucu .. meskipun udah baby ke-3 tapi I still amazed of them .. their cuteness, their amazing growth, their learning capabilities .. Soo selama cuti I enjoy watching them growing from day to day .. still until now meskipun bunda sudah kembali kerja hixxx
Be strong ? Alhamdulillah aku gak sesedih wkt balik cuti sebelum2nya .. mungkin krn gak sempet sedih jg kali yaa .. semua ini kan aku lakuin demi masa depan anak2ku .. tp aku usahain balance jg untuk bisa ngasih perhatian ke mereka sebisaku .. Pulang kerja pasti maen sama mereka .. sampe tidur ngelonin mereka jg (terutama si bontot) .. wkt buatku : pas jam kerja (misal lg istirahat), atau pas anak2 lagi pada tidur (klo aku nya jg gak teler) ..
The good thing about working is : kembali mengasah otak yang udah seret jarang diajak mikir2 yg susah2 selama the last couple of months, bisa nganterin kaysa (ngeliat progress dia di sekolah meskipun cuma 5 menit), bisa berangkat / spend more time sama suamiku hehe, bisa explore / ngelakuin errands yang sebelumnya tgantung banget sama suamiku (krn dia yg bawa mobil) ..
Yah apapun kondisi anda, pikirin aja positifnya oke .. semua keadaan pasti ada positif negatifnya tooh ..
Ini dia foto cah lanangku (usia 3 mgg dan 2,5 bln) .. pardon the pink blankie, lungsuran dari kakak2nya yang notabene cewe soalnya ^^

back to sabang opis

2010-04-07T22:29:00.001-07:00

Sebulan terakhir ini aku back ke sabang .. hehe miss this place .. emang sih, naksi dari sini ke rumah/ dari bsd ke rumah hampir sama .. tp paginya aku bisa dianterin suami .. terus2, jumatan bisa ke tempat2 asik selain sms/itc bsd (boseeen .. ) .. tp jumatan yg spt itu belum dilakuin sih ..

hmm tadi pagi aku ngerasa one of my assistant rada bete .. itu sih, assistant yang emg mungkin mau disudahi next month .. aku pikir2, klo kerja udah bete, minta naek gaji (berarti dia berasa kurang), sering melakukan kesalahan disana-sini .. kayaknya udah ga ada enak2nya yah .. emg sih sekarang jaman susah, tp bukan berarti dong jd spt itu .. yah dinikmati aja .. enjoy life, your work, gak usah complaining all the time apalagi melakukan hal2 yang merugikan / bikin bete org lain .. padat kata .. tetep ikhlas lah .. Insya Allah klo emg rejeki pasti ada ajaaa .. Yah begitu, aku suka dilema antara menyudahi/ngga .. kasian jg, tp makan ati jg .. bingung ntar ngomong ke orgnya gimana .. that's why aku tunda dulu sampe delivery hehe .. males mikir yang susah2 .. :P

sekarang i'm stuck in the opis, krn males keluar .. toh aku udah loaded sama makanan :P bayangin udah makan roti susu 2 potong, kacang edamame .. sampe kenyang .. masih ada makan siang (ati ampla + sayur bening katuk), nasi goreng, donat pinat butter :P gilingannnn .. yah semoga aku beratnya ttp tp baby t dapet kenaikan yang signifikan .. amin ..

btw itu roti susu bikin semalem lhoo .. sempet mati2in semua ac pas manggang di oven .. oh nasib .. males naekin kw nanti tagihan listrik membludak, pinginnya ganti ac sama yang watt nya lebih rendah, tp tidak dalam wkt dekat sptnya .. terus2 pas nyari oven thn lalu jg dilema sih, secara semua oven wattnya 2000an ke atas .. udah dilarang sama suami/ibu mertua .. tp bagaimana donngg .. aku pingin punya oven listrik di kitchenku .. krn pingin sering bikin kue .. terbukti selama setaun ini aku udah pernah bikin bronis, kastengels, bolu ketan item (ini bantat gara2 kurang lama ngemixer dan suhunya aku turunin) sama roti susu semalem (alhamdulillah sukses) ..

alritey then .. sambil nunggu makananku turun dulu, brosing2 dulu aah ..

it's a downtime for me

2010-03-18T23:05:00.000-07:00

Yup belum pernah sedown ini dalam hal financing .. sebenernya ini masalah pribadi yang seharusnya aku simpen aja buat diriku sendiri .. tp pingin jg deh ditulis di my personal journal .. since I don't have any manual diary, anymore since college .. so this is it ..
Aku ngerasa bodoh banget .. tp nasi udah jadi bubur .. aku gak mau ngalamin hal kayak gini lagi .. soo sembari aku menata ulang hidupku dan nelen pil pahit ini .. aku mo nulis lesson learnt yang aku peroleh :
1. jangan pernah belanja pake kartu kredit secara berlebihan, klo gak perlu2 amat mending gak usah dipake deh kartu kredit ini ..
2. bikin alokasi dana di awal gajian .. sounds cliche ya .. tp believe me ini perlu banget .. setelah diallocate uang belanja sekian, uang spp sekian, gaji asisten sekian and so on .. abis itu keliatan deh sisanya tinggal berapa .. jd sisa inilah yg sebenernya jadi uang kamu selama sebulan ini
3. kalo dapet uang lebih, misalnya dari bonus atau gawe sampingan .. mending ditabung deh .. don't even think of using it buat beli2 barang2 for your own pleasure .. unless you have a lot and lot of savings ..
4. do save !!! kamu gak pernah tau kapan kamu butuh uang dari saving itu .. I miss those times dimana tiap bulan aku bisa nabung .. hixxx
5. jangan invest di asuransi unless you have a lot and lot of savings, dan punya dana darurat sekian kali gaji .. asuransi itu gak bisa diandelin buat dana darurat .. dia sistemnya long term, gak jelas .. klo kita bakal butuh uang dalam waktu kurang dari 20 taun .. mending invest di tabungan/reksadana yang lebih fleksibel .. sumpah aku bete bgt sama asuransi ini !! udah agennya sweet talk, gak semua kata2 mereka bisa dipegang ..
6. smart spending for your leisure .. aku butuh leisure, apalagi krn kerja .. kadang suntuk .. tp hindari leisure yang sifatnya impulsive dan waste of money (gak sebanding dengan kenikmatan yang kita terima) .. seperti beli tas bermerk yang harganya jutaan misalnya .. kecuali klo kita punya duitnya hehe .. itu mah lain soal ..
beli es krim favorit 1 pint dan menikmatinya bersama keluarga di rumah mungkin lebih smart ketimbang ngafe bareng keluarga di mall
hmm belum kepikir lesson learnt lainnya ..
Tapi meskipun lg down spt ini, banyak hal lain yang aku syukuri .. seperti anak2 .. keluarga, kesehatan, dll .. mudah2an aku dan suamiku bisa melewati masalah ini dengan baik .. Aminn ..

wisata air di situ babakan

2010-01-24T23:47:00.000-08:00

Secara tanggal tua .. dan resolusi kita untuk mengurangi jalan2 ke mall, hari minggu pagi kemaren aku ngajak suami dan anak2 ke situ babakan di jl kahfi 2. Dari rumah kita sih deket .. kita belum pada mandi hehe .. abis nanti klo mandi segala takut keburu siang .. (mmm pingin cepet2 atau memang males yah) . Aku udah pernah ke tempat itu sih sebelumnya, sekitar 5 taun yl .. gila lama bgt ..
Pas sampe sana (sempet nyasar) .. dan ternyata kita ke bagian danau yang kotor .. hiks sedih jg ngeliatnya, perasaan dulu gak sejelek ini deh .. suami ku kayaknya sempet pesimis sama aku :P .. oops ..
Untung akhirnya ketemu juga bagian danau yang deket sama pusat kebudayaan betawi dan wisata airnya .. gaya amat ya wisata air, padahal cuma naek perahu bebek biasa :P
Yah tnyata emg gak sebagus dulu .. sayang banget .. tp untung anak2 cukup seneng dan puas naek bebek2annya .. aku pun puas krn cuma merogoh kocek 25 rb utk naik bebek sekeluarga + mbak2 .. sama suamiku sih yang bayar minuman kayak teh botol sama ngopi2 dikit .. gak lama2 kita pulang deh, krn mo sarapan di rumah aja .. hahaha dasar ngirit !!

masih eneg

2010-01-24T23:12:00.000-08:00

Tau kan klo sebelumnya aku hobi bgt sama scrapbooking .. hampir tiap mgg aku dapet newsletter yang ngasih tau kit apa aja yg baru .. dan pasti deh newsletter itu aku buka ..
Semenjak beberapa bln yg lalu krn bawaan orok, aku lgs eneg .. ngeliat kit nya aja kadang mo muntah ... aneh ya ..
terus hari ini aku iseng buka imel newsletter yang masuk ke inbox ku .. lucu2 sih kit yg barunya .. tp asli ilfeel bgt ngeliatnyaa .. eneg abisss .. ternyata masih yaa .. :P

Anyway .. the good news from the weekend is .. my Shafa udah bisa jalann !!! duh aku terharu banget ngeliatnyaaa .. sempet foto2 dia jalan across the living room .. besok2 mo aku posting di blognya Shafa. Berarti .. saat2 dia menyambutku pulang dengan merangkak sambil ketawa tinggal kenangan .. lho kok aku jadi meloow gini .. She's growing up .. and she's still my beautiful daughter .. dasar hormon ku ini gak jelas deh ngebawa emosiku kemana2 .. I love you so much Shafa !! And Kaysa tooo !!!

untuk kesekian kalinya

2009-12-27T22:35:00.000-08:00

They come and go.. untuk kesekian kalinya terjadi lg kemaren .. aku tau sih, nowadays kayaknya susaah bgt dapet yg bisa bertahan lama .. entah mereka nya yang bosenan, looking for better salary, better facilities .. sama aja kayak pegawai kantoran yak .. for the better facilities and salaries .. yah sori demori aja ya .. namanya juga masih keluarga muda yang berjuang dari awal, jangan dibandingin sama miliuner yang tinggal di pondok indah / real estate lainnya dengan jumlah asisten lebih dari 3 doong :P
Meskipun faktanya spt itu, tp bete juga sih krn aku musti nyari2 lagi, menyesuaikan diri lagi sama yg baru .. but it's life .. I just have to deal with it .. moga2 aku dapet yang bagus, yg pengertian, yg sabar dan sayang sama anak2, jujur, rajin, sopan, bersih dan bisa kerja sama sama kita .. Amin ..

my random thoughts

2009-12-16T21:02:00.000-08:00

Begini deh klo kerjaan udah rampung sementara jam pulang masih lama .. jadi mikir kemana2 ..

miss my capuccino - pengen banget nyeruput .. tp takutt .. boleh gak sih ?

miss my daugthers - gara2 liat foto2 kecil mereka .. huaa jd kangeeennnnn .. klo kayak gini, aku gak nyesel deh punya kerjaan yang begitu2 aja slama bisa pulang tenggo dan bisa spend time sama mereka ..

gemes sama shafa bayi - duuuh dia itu adorable bangeett deeh .. kayaknya aku gak akan pernah bosan sama bayi .. apalagi klo anakku sendiri ..

liat kaysa pas awal2 di sekolah - klo liat foto ini perasaanku jd gak keruan .. I wonder what's her thought at that time ? jadi sebelumnya dia lagi gak ngeh ada aku, terus dia liat aku, terus tampangnya gitu deh .. but she looks cutee in there .. klo sekarang mah, dia pasti bakal teriakk 'bundaa!!! dadaaah' sambil tertawa lebar dan melambaikan tangannya :D

my favorite sports team

2009-09-13T22:58:00.000-07:00

It's been decade since I followed any sport events and news. Today I was meant to write about my favorite sport team. Haaah, it's hard, but I would choose Indonesia uber cup team 2008. They managed to enter the final round Uber Cup 2008 after 10 years waiting. Even though they didn't win the uber cup, I was quite proud of their achievement.

few updates

2009-09-02T02:00:00.000-07:00

Gosh, ternyata uda lama jg ga update blog ini selain update2 yg sifatnya buat ikutan challenge di SSD :P
Ok, mm mau tulis apa ya. Inget2, in random order :

- Tentang Shafa .. lately Shafa udah mulai bisa pegang sendok, terus lg belajar untuk berdiri di atas kedua kakinya tanpa pegangan .. hmm paling sebel klo kita comparing milestone ini sama ibu2/bapak2 lainnya krn kadang mereka suka melebih2kan .. kayak bilang anaknya udah bisa berdiri (padahal sama pegangan) .. so .. aku jd males deh sharing2 milestone begini ke those kind of people kekekek. Terus emotionally, Shafa udah tambah berkembang .. jd tambah manja .. tambah intense nenennya .. bingung yak .. biasanya dia gak minta lhoo.. aku yang nyodorin .. sekarang dia sering minta terus mau buka bajuku sendiri gubrakk .. padahal nenenku jg udah gak banyak airnya :P
Shafa jg gampang merajuk, kerasa deh perbedaan dia dengan kakaknya .. lebih pemalu, suka ngambek, pinginnya disayang2 terus .. hihihi typical anak kecil kali ya apalagi yang bundanya kerja

- Tentang Kaysa .. kosa katanya udah mulai nambah; kayak pusing, belepotan, cape, sandalnya mana .. udah mulai sering merangkai kata. Udah gape bgt sama warna, sama huruf lg belajar, udah bisa nunjukin gambar berdasarkan aktivitas org tsb. Seperti, tunjukin gambar org yang lagi pegang balon .. etc . Kaysa masih suka joged2 atau nari2 kalo denger lagu2 soundtrack film yang lucu2 .. thank god for this .. soalnya ngeliat dia nari2 gitu sangat menghibur hati. Teruss .. dia sekarang tambah gemuk lhoo, beratnya udah 16.5 kg .. termasuk gemuk diantara temen2 sepantarannya .. I wouldn't say gemuk sih, berisi lebih tepatnya .. soalnya pas .. klo gemuk kan kesannya overweight.
Kaysa juga selalu ingin tau dan pingin get involve di kegiatan2 yang aku lakuin, seperti masak, ngeprint foto, bikin prakarya .. Dia bakal narik kursi kecilnya di deketku terus berdiri disampingku .. so cute .. Kayak kemarin pas aku bikin prakarya buat challengenya SSD, dia ikut2an mau nempelin double tape (nempelnya asal tuh), alhasil aku sempet ngomel2 krn challenge nya kan musti selse hari itu jg sementara aku bikinnya last minute. Abis itu aku nyesel jg, dia kan cuma mau bantu :(

- Tentang pekerjaan, hehe ini sih so so lah.

- Tentang rumah, tambah betah deh disini .. tp masih ada kamar yang jd pool barang2 .. masih berantakan .. belum sempet diberesin :(

Ok deh segitu dulu update annya.

exercise plan

2009-08-29T15:11:00.000-07:00

OK, it's been a week of Ramadhan Fasting .. how time flies ..
I know that the essence of fasting has nothing to do with loosing weights, but with my weights now, I was hoping I can get extra something from it :P Well, the fact is, til now, I only loose 1kg .. it's not good ..
OK then, perhaps I should lower my expectations, not to rely too much on fasting. I plan to go to the gym again after Ramadhan and on Ramadhan too when I have my period.
I plan to take at least 1 yoga class and 1 session of treadmill + sit ups per week. Is it enough ? I hope so.

the best cheese cake - according to me

2009-07-30T20:23:00.000-07:00

I've had tried cheese cake from that place and that place and that place .. They're all good .. But to me, the best is the cheese cake I've had is the one served in 4 seasons jakarta .. A friend of mine invited me dinner over there, I managed to stash a few pieces of cheese cake into my bag LOL .. Well, when you're eating buffet, your tummy is too full for too many desserts right ?
Hmm, the cheese cake taste like ordinary cheese cake but with the additional strawberry flavor mixed into it .. So it's not too sweet nor too creamy .. probably because of the fresh and sour favor of strawberry which covers the original flavor of cheese cake ..
I wonder do they sell it separately ?

what kind of names do you like ?

2009-07-28T02:32:00.000-07:00

You Like Names That Are Unique and Trendy

You tend to prefer names that are up and coming.

You wouldn't dare name your kid or pet last year's hot name.

You think names should be stylish, modern, and interesting...

But not so unique that they're hard to pronounce!

Some female names you might like: Alexa, Brooklyn, Cheyenne, Danica, Elle, Kennedy, Maya, and Raven

Some male names you might like: Aidan, Hunter, Marco, Preston, Quentin, Riley, and Tate

what place you should spend your summer at ?

2009-07-16T19:35:00.000-07:00

You Should Spend Your Summer in the City

You're a trooper, and the summer heat doesn't really get to you.

So you rather stay in the city, where you can sip iced lattes and go to midnight movies.

Forget the beach! You rather be where the good restaurants and stores are.

Where Should You Spend Your Summer?

setaun yang lalu

2009-07-15T02:44:00.000-07:00

Setaun yang lalu, jam segini .. Aku mungkin lagi terbaring di tempat tidur rs, sambil didorong sama suster ke kamar inapku .. dengan bayi mungil di dekapanku .. seakan ingin menunjukkan kepada seisi dunia .. kami sudah melewati medan pertempuran dengan selamat .. Alhamdulillah ..
Semua orang menepi memberi jalan kepada kami, pandangan mereka sudah pasti kepada kami .. tatapan mereka berbinar melihat bayi mungil yang tengah tertidur .. sang bayi seakan memancarkan cahaya yang membuat siapapun yang memandangnya merasakan bahagia dan indahnya dunia .. yes they're smiling .. eventhough they don't know us .. some of them told their kids 'liat adek bayinya lucu yaa ..' anak2 mereka pun dengan tulusnya memuji bayi mungil yang tengah kudekap ..
Yes Shafa, you are that special .. kehadiranmu membius kami semua yang berada di dekatmu, menghilangkan rasa sedih, marah, gundah .. yang ada hanyalah keceriaan ..
Dan kini, genap setahun sudah usiamu .. bunda selalu bahagia jika melihat wajahmu .. your smile, your eyes are sooo beatiful .. memancarkan cahaya murni dan bening .. seperti namamu ..
Selamat ulang tahun Nak .. semoga engkau selalu dilindungi Allah .. dan tumbuh menjadi umatNya yang sempurna lahir dan batin ..

about today's weather

2009-07-10T02:42:00.000-07:00

Today's weather is pretty much the same like a few weeks behind .. it's truely hot !! hotter than last year .. when I went out during lunch I have to open the car window wide enough so the hot air will go out of my car .. it's not nice being trapped with hot air inside the cabin .. But now, looks like the clouds are ready to pour the heavy burden they got inside .. I think it's going to rain ..

Considering the weather in Jakarta lately, I need to water the plants twice a day .. here's the pic a few months ago .. my plant was blooming at that time .. but now, they're dying .. hikss ..

I'm a banana smoothie

2009-07-05T21:11:00.000-07:00

You Are a Banana Smoothie

You are friendly and popular without even trying to be. People just like you.

You are easy to be around and never offend everyone. You're quite mild.

You have a warm demeanor, and many people find you to be inviting.

You are sympathetic and kind. You have a soft spot in your heart for everyone.

What Flavor Smoothie Are You?

congratz, downtime, and not anymore

2009-07-03T03:31:00.000-07:00

Congratz to my sis who just finished her thesis and passed it with flying colors .. So happy for youu !! Okay now we can concentrate more on the wedding prep right ? ;;)
Yesterday I did feel down a little .. funny hah ? people would see me having everything; having wonderful family; loving husband; beautiful children; steady job; lovely house; and so on .. the list could grow longer and longer .. we never feel satisfied rite ?
I was just thinking how awful I was .. not having these .. and these .. I miss my friends back then ..
After my sis went home, I still feel down a little until my 3 YO asked me to go to bath at 9 pm .. Oh dear, it's late already .. but she insisted. Ok I didn't have the power to argue with her, she's still ON very ON !! so not possible to ask her to sleep .. I just did what she asked for, played with her hoping she'll be exhaustic and then go to sleep ..
First I turned on the water and filled the tub .. she's waiting .. and then jumped in .. woo hoo .. we laugh .. she's having a good time ..
and then afterwards .. she started looking sleepy .. I made her the milk .. then shed asked for a coffee .. o dearr ..
I said coffee after drinking her milk .. ok, she's sipping the milk until finished, and then asked for the coffee again ..
Alrite then, I opened up the cabinet looking for my java capuccino .. but couldn't find it .. Asking to myself ,'Dimana ya bunda taro coffee bunda?' My 3 YO then run into the other cabinet, tried to open it .. I helped her, and then she took the java capucino from the inside .. I'm speechless .. I'm thrilled .. 'Allahu Akbar, Kaysa pinter banget'.
Suddenly, I felt like I'm in the top of the world..
I want to treasure those moments .. how my children colored my world, with their cuteness, their symphaty, their pure thoughts .. I should learn more from them ..

Below are the pics of my daughter, taken after they're just awaken in the morning .. see their eyes ? and their sleepy head look .. so cuteeee!!

again, shafa 1 minggu

2009-07-01T02:57:00.000-07:00

Duh, mulai addicted sama digiscrap niih .. mm dari dulu sih, tp sekarang tambah intense .. klo gak inget diri, aku mungkin keterusan donlod / beli2 kit yang lucu2 .. tp udah banyak nih stock kit, dan belum semuanya kepake .. :P Jadi, rem dulu kali yak .. kayak ada waktu aja buat ngescrapnya .. huehue ..
Ini nih, salah satu karyaku hari ini .. duh liat foto ini jd inget deh betapa dulu waktu bayi shafa tuh suka melenting2 badannya, meliuk2 .. apalagi klo lg gak dibedong .. sampe bingung aku ngegendongnya .. sekarang jg masih nih .. dia suka melenting ke belakang kayak mo salto gitu .. repot deh gendongnya .. apalagi klo malem2 dia kebangung dan musti dibikinin susu .. heboh deh, tangan kanan bikin susu, tangan kiri gendong dia .. apalagi klo dia mulai melenting2 ke belakang ..

Mm besok my sissy mo sidang s2 .. good luck ya sis .. aku doain dekkk .. jd inget dulu waktu mo sidang s1 .. wow it's like hari yang paling mendebarkan .. selain umptn, pengumuman umptn .. hari2 interview pertama kerja, dan hari2 mendebarkan lainnya .. it was those times when I had butterfly in my stomach ..

PS : gak tau kenapa perutku rada2 gassy kayak maag gitu dari semalem (dari tadi sendawa terus td pagi jg sempet rada diare) .. udah lama gak kayak gini .. apa gara2 makan santen ya ? (ada lodeh di menu hari ini dan kemaren)

almost a year

2009-06-26T01:02:00.000-07:00

My second daughter is almost a year .. this is her .. when she was only 5 days old .. so small, so fragile, so soft like feather, so beautiful like a little fairy .. I want to remember those times .. and treasure it on my mind ..

trims buat concernnya

2009-06-23T23:30:00.000-07:00

Aku baru mau posting sb nya my daughter, terus liat ada beberapa comment yang isinya sih kontra sama tulisanku .. mm mau ditanggepin tp ntar malah jadi debat kusir ..
Sebenernya wajar ada berbagai opini .. karena konteks ruang dan waktu yang aku alami berbeda dengan yg lain .. aku gak mau ngejudge siapa yang bener / siapa yang salah .. semuanya sama2 benar karena melihat dari sudut pandang yang berbeda2 .. singkat kata, trims buat concernnya :)
Emang sih kadang aku suka posting yg sesuai sama pikiranku saat itu, gak ngeh klo blog ini dibaca sama org lain juga .. hehe jd serba salah .. masak sih setiap posting aku musti review lagi, berarti gak spontan dong .. lagian kok ge er banget ya kesannya blog ku bakal dibaca org .. jd begitu deh .. mohon maaf kalau ada tulisan yang tidak berkenan .. karena sebenernya sih ini cuma curahan hatiku pribadi, tanpa ada maksud apapun .. kalau ada yang gak berkenan gak usah terlalu dibaca, diskip aja ya :)

Anyway ini dia yang sebenernya mau diposting foto anakku 1 taun yang lalu. How time flies .. Miss those times .. one of the best time in my life is the time I spent with my children ..

shafa sakit

2009-06-22T05:38:00.000-07:00

Sedihnya kalau anak sakit, ini pertama kali shafa demam .. lgs deh sedih + panik. Kita langsung ke dr sri mulyani (aka budeku) buat minta resep, shafa dikasi puyer buat demam sama puyer buat pilek yg ada antibiotiknya ..

Dulu aku suka baca di artikel / internet klo anak jgn sedikit2 dikasi antibiotik, biarin aja demamnya sampe 3 hari baru deh .. dulu aku ikutin tuh saran2 kayak gitu .. 2-3 hari dikasi paracetamol tp demam anak tetep naik turun, gak berenti .. akhirnya ke dokter ujung2nya dikasi antibiotik juga baru deh turun demamnya, mana sempet dites darah beberapa kali karena udah 3 hari demam bisa jadi kena DB .. itu kejadian beberapa kali sama kaysa .. semakin kesini aku gak ngikutin teori itu lg, kasian anak naik turun demamnya sampe 3 hari .. gak tega .. mana panasnya bisa tinggi banget sampe 40.. duh jgn sampe kayak gitu lagi ..

Jadi klo ke dokter dan tnyata radang, ya wis hajar bleh pake antibiotik .. gak usah tunggu beberapa hari .. Alhamdulillah sama dokter sri cocok tuh, anakku langsung turun demamnya .. udah bisa ketawa2 lagi .. mana obat2nya gak mahal, shafa kemaren cuma abis 30ribuan .. kaysa sebelumnya juga gak sampe 100ribu obatnya .. enaknya klo pake puyer, komposisinya dan takarannya bisa disesuaikan dengan berat badan anak dan penyakit anak .. untuk demam selain paracetamol ada diazepam yang bisa untuk mencegah step .. terus untuk obat pileknya bisa dicampur antara CTM dan antibiotik yang kadarnya disesuaikan juga ..

PS : untuk pengalaman pribadiku ini .. anakku memang terkena radang yang disebabkan oleh bakteri dan disertai oleh flu. Pengalaman dengan kakaknya dibiarkan 3 hari ternyata panasnya naik turun sehingga perlu diobati dengan antibiotik.

2009-06-16T02:08:00.000-07:00

menscrap diri sendiri

2009-06-02T22:57:00.000-07:00

Ultah kaysa kemaren Alhamdulillah berlangsung lancar dan cukup meriah. Biar cuma 1/2 jam tapi itu 1/2 jam yang berkesan untuk aku. My sis film it, and I watch it over and over again. Apalagi ultahnya di sekolah, jadi aku bisa liat gimana interaksi kaysa dengan teman2nya. Overall, she made me really2 proud as a mother ..

Trims buat mbak peni yang udah buat kue ultah yang cantik dan enakk .. anak2 pada sukaaa .. kaysa makanin lebahnya sampe abis .. Mengenai foto2 dan detail ceritanya nanti mau aku post di blognya Kaysa.

Hari ini aku udah kerja lagi sih .. kemaren kan cuti .. seharian maen sama anak2 .. duuh capenya .. Mana Shafa lg sensitif berat, suka marah2 .. Kaysa beberapa kali dicakar, sabar ya Kak. Btw, ini hari aku iseng menscrap diri sendiri .. krn warna nya susah (paduan orange dan ungu) .. tpaksa aku recolor template2 sama elemen2 yg aku punya .. Foto2nya diambil di kamar amangtua pas housewarming kemaren .. hehe gak sopan yaa numpang2 kamar orang .. i love the orange/brown color in that room..

malam minggu

2009-05-30T08:40:00.000-07:00

Saat ini anak2 udah pada tidur, suamiku lg ke suatu event .. I'm at my parents house with the kids .. Gosh I miss this house, miss my parents, my brother and sister .. Lagi donlod2 pake jump .. disini jauh lebih kenceng ketimbang di rumahku .. dan .. nyamannya main2 di laptop di atas meja belajar .. I should consider buying a desk for my room .. buat kerja, internetan .. maen photoshop ..

Mm sebenernya udah 3 taunan kali ya aku gak pernah kerja di rumah hahaha .. life is beautiful .. yah maksudnya buat suamiku kerja, soalnya dia klo gak kerja di meja makan ya sambil tiduran di lantai .. aku sih gak betah maen2 laptop di lantai sambil tengkurep gitu .. tulangku pada kaku2 abis ituu ..

Update blognya anak2 dulu ah ..

nasi goreng

2009-05-19T22:15:00.000-07:00

Semalem rasanya gak pingin makan makanan yang tersedia di meja, tp gak tau juga mau makan apa. Sekitar jam 8 malam, mulai berasa laper .. terus kok pingin nasi goreng yaa ? Aku ambil ayam kecap yang ada di meja, disuwir2, terus ngulek 3 siung bawang putih, 1 siung bawang merah, 1 cabe rawit gendut tanpa biji, sedikit garam. Ditumis dulu bumbunya dengan sedikit minyak, pas udah wangi masukin nasi + ayam suwir itu. Tambah kecap terus aduk rata.

Pas udah dimatiin aku coba .. kok masih kurang asin ya, jd tambahin kecap asin crut crut .. mm sempurna deh menurutku .. terus ceplok telor jg ..
Terus aku samperin kaysa yang lg nonton tv, sambil nawarin nasi goreng bikinan ku .. dia lgs melirik terus ngambil sendokku terus dimakan deh sama dia .. ternyata Kaysa doyan, meskipun beberapa kali dia bilang 'pedess .. pedess ..' 'minuum ..' (sambil ngisi tumbler barbienya sama air dispenser) tapi dia tetep makan nasgor ku tuh .. ada kali ya dia makan 1/3 nyaa :D

Aku pikir2, kayaknya baru sekarang ini aku bikin nasi goreng sendiri di dapur baru .. terus hasil nya not bad dan disukai ama Kaysa ..
Rasanya hepi banget .. Ternyata kebahagiaan bisa datang dari hal sekecil apapun ya, termasuk momen semalem ini ..

garage gourmet, berenang di rumah

2009-05-11T22:29:00.000-07:00

Wiken ini bener2 padat, dari :
1. beres2 rumah .. yup, meskipun udah pindah rumah sekian bulan, masih ada pojokan yang isinya barang2 berserakan hikss ..
Jumat kemaren aku sempetin beli rak buku di carrefour, buat storing barang2 yang masih di kardus/ berserakan, jd paling ngga ngeliatnya masih rapih

2. kaysa minta berenang di kolam karet. Duuh gak nyangka setelah beres2 kmr main dia minta kolam karet ini .. padahal niupnya kan lumayan juga. untung ada pompa, jd bibir gak doer .. aku lhoo yang niupin sendiri hhuhuyyy .. terus pas isi airnya jg dikit2 krn pompa air rumah lg ngadat jd airnya gak gitu kenceng .. sempet rebus air jg biar airnya anget, kan shafa mo diceburin kesitu juga heheh.
3. garage gourmet. Kan bs kedua lg cuti, jadinya aku handle shafa full. Untung cutinya menjelang maghrib jd urusan renang dan beres2 rumah udah selesai .. untuk sementara. Terus suamiku ngajak jalan2 .. wooow mau bangettt .. kitapun mutusin ke daerah kemang karena citos pasti rameee bgt, cilandak udah bosen .. Pertamanya sih pingin di daerah ampera aja, tp ragu2 .. sampe akhirnya suamiku ngajak ke garage gourmet, lgs aku setuju .. abis tempatnya dari luar keren .. ternyata dalemnya emg keren banget .. makanannya enak2 .. harganya .. hmm jangan ditanya, ada harga ada rupa lah. Di bagian bawahnya ada supermarket kecil yg intinya jualan bahan2 makanan yang fresh dan rata2 import .. 100 gr dagingnya bisa 70-100rb rupiah .. weleh mahal banget, ternyata itu emg buat steak .. krn di rumah banyak populasinya .. kayaknya rugi bandar deh beli daging semahal itu.

4. minggu siangnya kita makan di grand indo, di duck king bareng ma,pa,adi,asri,siskha .. dibayarin ma, enak tenannn .. kaysa minta es krim sampe marah2, pas es krimnya datang dia lgs hepi .. abis itu kita ngajak dia maen di fun worldd .. lucu banget .. Duck king emang mantap, tp ... soal harga jangan ditanyaa :P

Akhirnya sorenya bs kedua dateng .. lega deh, ternyata handle baby emang repot ya.. jadi inget waktu dulu baru lahiran dimana aku handle anak sendiri .. sampe gak sempet ngapa2in, sisiran aja gak sempet.. tapi rasanya gimana gitu, hepi dan puass ..

family expense

2009-04-29T19:41:00.000-07:00

Beberapa hari yang lalu suamiku bertanya kepadaku apakah uang yang beliau berikan kepadaku untuk family spending cukup ? Karenanya aku kemaren2 ini ngumpulin struk2 yang membuat dompetku gendut dan berexcel2 ria .. Tadinya aku pikir n jt yang diberikan olehnya is far from enough .. ternyata ... jeng jeng jeng .. ngepas bangettt ..
Emang sih, lately aku ngerasa harga2 di supermarket kok slowly naek2 .. tp aku gak terlalu peduliin .. Kaysa lg doyan2nya makan, Shafa juga .. jadi segala sesuatu yang berbau sandang, dan tetek bengek rumah tangga aku gak terlalu itungan .. Entah itu keju, susu, roti dan cemilan lainnya selalu aku beli pas ke supermarket ..
Aku notice juga klo keju slice bikinan perancis yang jd favorit Kaysa slowly naek terus harganya (dulu 20 ribuan, terus naek jd 28 rb, 30 rb dan sekarang 34 rb :(( ) .. Kalo aku setop kasian juga anak2 .. Shafa jg doyan keju itu ..
Selain itu susu ultra, dulu harganya 2200, terus naek jadi 2400, 2600 dan sekarang jadi 2900 :((
Ada apa sih dengan harga2 ? :(( hikss ..

Well, mungkin aku hrs berhemat lg ? atau entah gimana caranya .. tp udah ah, gak mau complaining terus2an .. life is too short buat mikirin yang beginih2 .. dan kadang2 aku jg pingin enjoying life .. hehehe

jangan taruh obat sembarangan

2009-04-16T02:40:00.000-07:00

Dua hari yl, malemnya kan dua anakku lg pada pilek, yang kecil aku kasih neo triaminic .4ml. Yg gede sekalian jg deh. Terus botol itu aku taro di tengah meja (td sempet rada kepinggir terus aku ketengahin), masih terbuka, belum ditutup (I'm cursing myself for this) .. Terus aku ke sink buat cuci pipet, .. aku notice sih kaysa naek2 ke kursi .. terus mungkin liat2 makanan yang ada di meja (batinku). Ternyata oh ternyata, pas aku balik badan, aku liat botol sudah tumpah2 dan lagi dia pegang dalam keadaan kosong .. dan dia sempet bilang 'maniiiss..' .. Dengan panic mode aku lgs panggil the nannies .. dan sempet telp suami .. akhirnya aku minta mbaknya sodok mulut kaysa pake sikat gigi dan aku ngajarin dia untuk muntahin yang dia makan barusan (dia sempet minum air putih juga). Keluar juga muntahnya .. dan kasihan banget Kaysa .. dia trauma seperti nya disuruh muntah seperti itu .. maafin bunda ya Kay .. Pelajaran berharga untukku.

Ketika ayahnya pulang, Kaysa lgs deh laporan 'ini itu ini dulu obat .. muntah .. itu (sambil nunjuk2 meja makan) .. muntahin muntahin air .. ' (berusaha bercerita dengan kosa katanya yang terbatas) .. Oh sweety .. forgive me yaaah ..

2009-03-30T21:43:00.000-07:00

Lately sering kesiangan karena sama suami begadang sama anak2 .. bayangkan, yang gede ama yang kecil masih ON sampe jam 11an - 12an.. hikss. Mereka ngajak maen .. yg kecil gak bisa diem, kadang rebutan maenan sama yang gede .. yang gede jg suka rebutan akuu ..

Anyway .. semalem sempet mimpi buruk .. tema nya ttg kematian .. terus barusan dapet forwardan dari temen yang isinya corpse semuaa .. walah segitu tidak berharganyakah manusia .. yang mati dipajang / berserakan begitu sajaa .. my question dari dulu still the same : bagaimana menyikapi kematiaan ?

kahitna - menikahimu

2009-03-11T20:27:00.000-07:00

Menantimu...
Hingga saat cintaku temukan dirimu
Usai sudah
Sampai di sini
Berdiri melabuhkan asmara

Menikah denganku
Menempatkan cinta
Melintasi perjalanan usia
Menikah denganmu
Menetapkan jiwa
Bertahtakan kesetiaan cinta
Selamanya

http://www.imeem.com/people/Mrw0ZG/music/VHCNf1rG/kahitna-menikahimu/

Aku suka banget sama lagu ini, sayang pas aku merid taun 2005 kemaren musisinya gak nyanyiin lagu ini padahal aku udah request. Terus .. terus kemaren pas temenku Alin merid tgl 22 Feb 2008 di bdg, lagu ini adalah lagu yang pertama dinyanyiin ... dooow ... lgs deh berselimut suasana romantiss .. Dan kayaknya ini lagu sesuai banget deh sama mereka .. hehe menurutku lhooo ..

To Alin and Rifki, you both belong to each other .. congratz and i hope you find true happiness together ..
Kata om Anca (Ustadz Ihsan Tanjung), jangan bilang semoga bahagia selamanya karena yg namanya hidup gak seperti itu, pasti ada kalanya kita senang dan ada kalanya kita sedih .. kita akan merasakan nikmatnya kebahagiaan kalau kita pernah merasakan kesedihan. Yang diharapkan dari pasangan suami istri adalah bagaimana mereka bisa melaluinya bersama .. dan yang penting berkah ..

pernah gak sih ?

2009-02-22T19:14:00.000-08:00

Pernahkah kamu merasakan bahwa setiap lembar 5000, 10000 bahkan 20000 menjadi begitu berarti ...
Dimana kita menghitung hari menuju hari gajian .. hikss masih lama ..
Dimana kita memilih tetap bertahan tanpa hrs pinjem sama org lain lagi krn malu / gak enak .. kecuali klo kepepetttt bangettt ..
Kata suamiku suatu hari kita akan mengenang saat2 ini ..

Sebenernya bisa aja gak seperti ini klo aku bayar kartu kredit kemaren partially .. tapi pernah sekali kayak gitu, ternyata interest nya gedeeee banget .. jd kapok .. mending bayar lunas daaah, biarin abis itu duitku abis yg penting gak ada utang sama kartu kredit.

Klo belanja ke supermarket bener2 mengandalkan kartu kredit yang dibillingnya bulan depan .. hikss .. klo gak bisa digesek gak tau lg deh mo bayar pake apa .. Sebenernya bisa aja menghemat gak beli2 baju/asesoris .. yg ini sih gampang krn aku jg gak terlalu fashionoholic .. tp klo belanja sembako mah gak bisa dihemat2 .. jd klo ke supermarket beli ini itu .. bisa abis ratusan ribuu .. susu anak aja udah berapa ratus ribu sendiri .. belum pampers dan lain2 ..

Tp kata adekku aku kok tetep happy yaa .. hehe .. aku happy krn masih bisa belanja pake kartu kredit :P, terus aku masih happy krn rumah baru itu kali yaaa .. kayak td pagi, rasanya seneeng banget sekarang bisa buang air *maaf di kloset duduk .. dulu waktu di kontrakan cuma di kloset jongkok .. bahkan waktu aku baru pulang dari rs abis lahiran, klo mo buang air ya musti jongkok .. pelan2 krn takut perih sama bekas jaitan .. Sekarang udah ngga lagi .. bahkan bisa sambil baca buku seperti yg aku suka lakuin di rumah Uti .. :P Kaysa juga gitu .. gak perlu jongkok2 di bawah lagi .. sekarang dia bisa pup di wc duduk kayak org gedeee ..

Yah itu salah satunya .. masih banyak hal2 yang bikin happy lainnya ..

tentang newly weds

2009-02-20T02:17:00.000-08:00

Aku baru baca blog salah seorang teman yang newly weds .. dari ceritanya yang very specific, tentang persiapan, tentang honeymoon nya .. ketebak deh how they are madly in love, how they are so happy akhirnya udah jadi suami istri dimana sudah gak ada lagi batasan muhrim .. how they are now free ..

Aku jadi inget waktu dulu .. seperti diingetin rasanya .. buat yang udah nikah sekian taun mungkin juga ngerasain dimana setelah nikah kemudian timbul hal2 seperti kehamilan, pekerjaan, karir, anak, dll .. yang bikin kita jadi lupa sama bagaimana kita dulu sama pasangan kita .. don't get it wrong, we still love each other .. tapi pasti gaya pacarannya beda kan antara yang newly weds sama yang 3,5 years wed ..

Trims ya udah diingetin .. jd kangenn ..

panggil 'bunda'

2009-02-17T22:18:00.000-08:00

Hari Sabtu kemaren, tepatnya tanggal 14 Feb 2009, di rumah Mbah Uti paginya .. Kaysa manggil aku 'Bunda' loudd and clearr .. aku sampe kaget, adekku juga .. terus lgs terharu biru dan melukin Kaysa ..

Kaysa emang perkembangan bicaranya tidak secepat anak2 lain, beberapa keluarga dekat sempet khawatir tp beberapa org bilang itu wajar karena disisi lain Kaysa perkembangannya pesat, seperti bisa membedakan dan sebut warna, suka nari dan nyanyi2, dan sederet milestone lainnya .. jadi kita tetap optimis, dan memang terbukti lambat laun she's catching up ..

Sempet papaku minta supaya aku jgn dipanggil bunda krn terlalu susah buat Kaysa .. owalah .. masak digantii .. terus sempet juga Kaysa manggilnya 'mak mak mak' .. entah apa yang ada di pikirannya. Tapi yah dijalanin aja ... Alhamdulillah sekarang udah gak begitu lagi.

Sekarang klo lagi nyariin aku, dia langsung deh panggil2 'Bunda .. bunda .. bunda' .. terus klo udah nemuin aku, langsung deh dia lari2 menghampiriku dengan senyumnya yang mengembaang .. hiksss .. jadi kangenn ..

PS : sebelumnya Kaysa juga pernah sih panggil 'nda', 'unda' .. tp tidak seloud and clear yang sekarang ..
Pumpkin .. I love you soo ..

PSS : kesimpulannya, perkembangan setiap anak beda2, jadi jangan terlalu dibandingin .. benchmarking ke anak lain boleh saja, tapi jgn terus jadi parno. Jangan memberi label kepada anak, tetap optimis .. dan omongin yang bagus2 ke anak, mereka akan tumbuh seperti yang kita bayangkan. Misal : anak cantik, pinter .. gak nakal yaa.. jadi anak yang baik yaa ..

2009-02-13T23:12:00.000-08:00

seribu rasa

2009-02-05T23:25:00.000-08:00

Dua minggu yang lalu aku ama suamiku lunch di seribu rasa, lokasinya dari arah imam bonjol ke HI, belok kanan di perempatan Gani Jemat .. abis itu liat aja di sebelah kiri jalan ada umbul2 warna orange cokelat. Parkirannya di basement, restonya di atasnya. Dari depan sih kecil keliatannya tapi pas masuk .. ckckck besarrrnyaa .. emang rumah di menteng besar2 yaak .. Yah mumpung waktu itu aku masih di Sabang, puas2in deh jalan2 sekitar menteng ..

Mengenai makanannya bener2 makanan melayu, mirip sama menu makanan yang suka dibuat sama ibu mertuaku, seperti daun singkong tumbuk, oseng2 tauco udang .. Aku bawa kamera siy, tapi gak foto2 karena takut gak boleh .. tempatnya keren banget .. nuansa kolonial, minimalis .. makanannya juga enak2 . Tapi menurutku rather expensive sih, yah worth it sih karena tempatnya nyaman banget .. klo mo pacaran / mo relaxing cocok dah ..

Kemaren disc. 15% karena masih opening .. yah lumayan deeh .. Klo mo liat foto2nya nih aku nemu disini.
