ASK!

Oooh God, today is mid May already. Never post anything since 2013. Why am I so reluctant doing something valuable on my blog.. Many stories to share since the beginning of new year, but due to my short term memories syndrome, most of them successfully evaporated from my mind.. hahahaa.. 

For a quick sum-up, in January, I turn 24, unlike any other years where I always being so hyperbolic about birthday, this year i am being quite normal.. hahaha.. nothing special happened actually, no surprise, no celebration, just a self wonder that i am getting older but also becoming more mature indeed.. (am thinking if it's really me or more about the way I look that getting mature.. *observing wrinkles & grey hairrr* *huks*) Hahahaa..

In February, ummm.. not really remember what i did in Feb.. OOOOHH, I KNOW, I secured a place for a master degree programme that going to be start in June. Proud a bit I finally got a plan about what am I going to achieve for the next 2 years. hahahaa.. In March, umm no particular event needs to be told.. in April, ummm *thinking* ummm *stillthinking* UMMMM *thinkingharder*…. DAMN nothing special as well.. the months just flew by didn't they? hiiiksss..

Oke initially in this peaceful friday night, while waiting Mr.G's late night call,  i just wanna write a quick post about a quote that i found somewhere, that makes me over analyze the meaning of it and decided to apply it into my daily basis.

Here is the quote : 

"There is only one true way to get what you want: Ask."

Not a 'complex quote' as you expected huh? Hahahaa.. Why am I telling you, it's because this particular subject concern me so many times.. I found my self a bit passive when it comes to straightforwardly saying what I want, I easily feel uneasy if i need help from others, especially when i have to work in a team. I'm not confident enough to divide tasks or delegate my job, if i feel i can do it on my own, i will do it. The worst part is, i always assume everything will be falling the way i wanted it to be without me personally telling them to do so.. Well, sometimes its not.. They're not a mind readers, and sometimes in the end, i regretted my self by not outspokenly saying what i want. Hence, this quote changed my perspective about getting something. Even the simplest one. After digested the quote, I realize the basic of pursuing a goal is 'ASKING'.. whatever it is, for example in small cases, if you fall for someone, you will never know he/she is your other-half if you're not ASKING them to be your soulmate. You can't get the job that you desire, if you didn't apply for that position (means you ASKING the HR to recruit you), OR you didn't know your wildest dream is just a pinch away if you have enough bravery to ASKING your girlfriend to marry you (HAHAHAA, no no noo  for now please remain like this G ;P Hahaha *intermezzo*). Well, back to the topic.. I challenge my self to be more provocative since then, plainly asking if I want to get any specific request from others. It's not a sin, I might not get a 'yes' as an answer but at least i took the 50% chances by trying. I stop hoping for "mind readers" towards others. I applied this method several times, and surprisingly yess its way moreee easier simply by asking for it.

Hemmm.. friday night and random talks.. hahahaa.. I know its not important for some of you, or maybe all of you.. hahaha I just think I need to share it. So if you face the similar issue with mine, just remember,  you can always get what you want if you have enough guts to actually ASKING FOR IT. Ask what you want, Ask with confidence. Ask as if you expect to get it. Stop assuming others will grant your wishes if you're not saying it.. Cause the bottom line is, If you do not ask, the answer will always be NO. ;)

Hope this quick post can redeeem my long gone hehehe… Thankyou baby for reading.. Ciao guys!

Marriage!

This post was made to reminds me that one by one, slowly but sure, me and my 911 will separate each other. One day we'll make a decision, to move forward to the next step of life - a deeper level of relationship - It is build our own family. Which means new priorities besides works & hang out. More responsibilities to come and it will leads to the limited access to spend time together. And the 1st one who's ready to take that commitment is Wulan, the youngest among us, the cleverest, and we admit she's the most mature one. We have no doubt she will be the 1st who tied the knot. Hahahaa..

To celebrate Wulan's big day, we threw a sleepover - bachelorette party 2 weeks before the wedding. We had all gathered and we rent a jumbo room for a day at Ritz Carlton - thanks to my Tika for gave us the employee rate, we know we couldn't afford that such a nice room in Ritz if you don't lend us a hand *kiss*. Its good to know we are in the complete team on that time, we manage to clear out the schedule, even Dian came far away from Surabaya to attend this party!

At night, we went to Otel Lobby, dine dine and help Wulan executed her 'bride to be' game. At first we want her to kiss 10 random boys she meet on the street, but because it was very late at night when we start the game, the mall was already deserted and it was difficult to find a victim. Sooo to make the 'game' a lot easier to fulfill, we just asked Wulan to took pictures with 5 random guy with her weird costume and appearance. YESSS IT WAS WAAAAYY TOO EASYYY!!! demnn! ok, we should be more evil for the next bride. Grrr ~

There was never a dull moment on that night. After wasted plenty of energy to complete the game, giggles and walk around with heels, we went to karaoke all night long, it turns out that one night was not enough, we really maximize the time by singing, dancing, jumping till we ran out of voice!!! We mocked each other, we made fun of each other, we practically comfortable with each other's presence. We sucked the happiness in every moments. Sometimes I forgot how wonderful the simple life must be, with all the constant business of life nowadays makes me appreciate each seconds of time with the one I love. Family, boyfriend, close friends, and here with my girlss, being nonsense is appropriate. I love being nonsense Hahahaa.. I love you my anaksingkongerss ~ :*

Comfyyy roommm ~

US!

Pasrah ~

Victims!

"We don't even have to try.. its always a GOOD TIME!!!" - Owl City ; )

22 - December 2012

In the wedding ceremony, Wulan looks adorably fantastic with white kebaya, in line with Latu. The couple makes a public declaration of lifelong commitment to love each other. I nearly shed some tears when the couple asked permission to build their own family to both parents. Every mother mostly will break into tears when they through this kind of situation. Heemm, I don't think my mom will.. *krik* Hahaha..

Woww.. MARRIAGE. This is a BIG word! I mean its quite a challenge. You know, when you say ‘I will’ to those wedding vows, it means you're ready to commit till the rest of your life. Which means, when you decide things, you have to consider how it will affect your lifetime partner, not just you. Your world is not run by you anymore. every step you want to take should be under discussions and It will be tough at times, isn't? isn't?? isn't??? or is it only me who over reacted? Hahaha.. Okay no worries, don't get affected by my words. It just me and my own toughs. Marriage is a good thing, grow in love and support for each other, having children. I wanna have that magical moments also. One day, If i'm ready. Hahahaa.. 

SAH! SAH! SAH!

Days in Bali ~

In love with the 1st week of November. My cousin (which is Gaura's cousin as well) had wedding in Bali. Couple of days before we went, I've already got a little trip planned during the weekend at my hometown. We took a flight at Saturday super early in the morning and went back to Jakarta at Sunday night. So if I calculated, it was only 1 and a half day in Bali. God, not a lot we could do with that time table. To make each seconds count, I browsed several places to see and visit, I don't want to waste my time, so I made a list and reckon all things.

Right after we arrived, we went straight away to my uncle's house at Renon, we changed clothes. Me with kebaya and Mr.G with his Balinese traditional outfit (I don't know what we called it). Then in such a hurry we went to our cousin wed, met our big family, mingle, ate porks, and flooded by the question of "Kapan Nyusul?" ( I guess now I got used to it ;) hahaha.. 

It was almost 2pm in Bali when the ceremony completed. We rush back to Renon, took a bath, got a rest for a while then heading to Uluwatu! Wohoo!!! Yeah, Me who voted for watching Kecak fire dance at the edge of Uluwatu Temple! Catching the dawn while look on the fire dance is a very good idea! I've been experienced it before and it was magical, so I want Mr.G to feel it too! (but it turns dull to him i guess hahahaa). The Uluwatu temple never failed me, I still felt sacred by the dance. With the sunset as a the backround I couldn't argue for more. :)

Collected some pictures before we left, its nearly 7pm when we decided to leave and look for a dine. We went to Jimbaran and took a seafood dine at the beach side. The place is beautiful indeed but I'm not quite enjoy the vibe, the bad mood took over. *ngookkk ~

Maybe around 10, we already reached Renon. Whacked for sure. Got our body cleaned and sleep.

On day 2, we didn't have much time to spent, cause we had an appointment to lunch with Mr.G's family relatives, so we looked for a place where we can spend a whole daylight to savor. At first our planned goes to Taman Safari Park, the web said it is the biggest Botanical Gardens and Zoos in Asia, but we guess we running out of time if we still enforce to go there, yes due to the length of distance. So we picked our second plan, Bali Bird & Reptile Park! Not bad at all, it's beautiful, clean and cool. Although not so many attractions, but for holiday destination, the package is worthwhile and not too expensive I guess for local.

While waiting till the lunch time come, we went to Nasi Be Guling Bundaran Renon (this was the most important part! PORKS! Hahahaa). The restaurant itself is my friend's family business. Too bad the owner not gave me any discount!!! *summoningngurah* *sinis* hehehee..

After had ourselves full of food, we went to lunch with Gaura's aunty (hukss, fatty fat i don't care..). I got my self introduced, and presented by another dish as lunch made by porkss!! ooh I couldn't be happpier.. hahahhaa.. Around 3pm we finished, and should catch the flight at 7. Not knowing where to go with those limited time. So we directly went to the airport and waited there till we took off. Thanking God there was no delay. Only the traffic to the airport that bugs us.

Around 11.30pm I landed safely in my own room. Thanks Mr.G for the super short vacay, little bit impossible at first to get the permission from dad. hahahaa.. Wish we could spent time like this more often.. hahaa I L Y G!

Recently.

I can say, it was so much for a week! Start from preparing new store opening at Kemang Village. Thanking God it was finally open last wed. The preparation drained my energy so much till I got trouble delivering voice since the last 2 days due to the serious sore throat! but the hard work paid off, we satisfied with the result. The event was interesting! The theme is UK - London, so we decorated the stage, performances, and all things related to UK. One of the unique parts was, there are loads of mini coopers to fetch the VVIPs guest into the venue and the mini coppers decorated with the union flag of UK also. Sooo cute! 

I had a good time during the event, but the sore throat seriously killing me, I've got my eyes burned and my body getting warmed. It was pretty annoyed. After the party, my boss allowed me to took 2 days off since my fever getting worse and I had to re-scheduled my other wisdom teeth operation on the day after.

Nights before the due date, All VMs prepared the store ~

UK union flag mini copper! Cutee!

 UK's VM team, Bradley & Andy who helped us prepared the store since last week!

Dear Tooth Fairy..

This was what recently happened to me. I got a little operation to took out 2 of my wisdom teeth. My jaw isn't large enough to accommodate all of those. They become misaligned and pressed the other teeth. I didn't feel anything when the teeth grew, but as time goes by, I felt that my inner corner gum swelled and makes me having difficulties to eat. Since it was hampered me much, I guess I need to consult this to the dentist. To be honest, the dentist room is the place where I always want to avoid. I never got my teeth decayed, thats why its very rare for me to go seeing dentist.

With all the bravery I had, and of course with mom beside, I depicted my problems with the doctor. She just saw my teeth for a second and said "These teeth should be taken out immediately, because it was inflamed already!" I got shock attack when I heard those words, like really? my nightmare being real? Syitss.. I've tried to remain calm, then the nurse escort me to the panoramic room to photographed the teeth. I was shocked when I saw the result, my wisdom teeth being gay (since they are not grew straight. hahahaa). I knew its been infected several days ago, but I tend to ignored the sign. I just too afraid to meet the dentist and I guess the pain will gone by itself. Huksss..

After that the nurse transmitted me to the patient room, in the inside I changed my clothes and waiting for the operation room available. Damn, the tick tock was scaryyyy! never in my life I deal with the surgery thingy. Even the minor one like this. In the following 15mins, the doctor came and asked me to get ready *YOUR WISH I'M READY DOC!* *sigh*. I couldn't do anything, I just rely on God for this one. I know i'm being spoiled and lebay, but that was  tremendously scary moment!!! :"((

Surprisingly it was only took 20 mins to removed two of my wisdom teeth, I even didn't feel the pain when the doctor did the operation. The most hurting part was only when the doctor injected pain killers to my gum. That was it, after that I didn't feel anything at all. I thought my suffer moment has gone, but eventually I was wrong. after the painkillers vanished, my gum hurt like hell and it was swelled bigger than I tought. I even can't open my mouth, everytime I swallowed, I felt the fresh blood still bleeding inside. Iyuuuwhh, I know, kind of disgusting. 

I couldn't ate properly the first 2 days. Only any kind of noodles and french fries. After the 3rd day, my swollen gum became better. Today is the 5th day, I already gained my long lost appetite and I can eat anything I wanted to! Yeiiiyyy.. 

Still got the next operation in the 2 weeks ahead. Another 2 wisdom teeth needs to removed. Ooh God, the surgery still haunted me. Hikss. When I can released my self from this nightmare ~

The arrows refer to the wisdom teeth.

15mins before the operation. Still had the complete teeth! Take a poseee! Hahaha :D

2nd day. Yes, it does hurt. Huks.

I wore mask everytime I went to the office.

Couldn't bear people's attention when they saw my unbalance cheek

and start guessing maybe I've got punched in the face -___-*

Thank you for reading ~

I need my tooth fairy to guide me now : )

Lots Love ♥

Sissy Big Day! ♥

It’s been ages again for me not updating my blog. Suddenly, I felt so sorry for my blog and thus I’m here to write something. Nothing special but at least refreshing my blog. Not sure will I change the layout of my blog later. I’ll see how then~

Hemm, what am I missing since the past 2 months? MANY THINGS! My sister got married, me who start to work at my new office, new environment that needs to adapt, loads of new friends, new projects to handle and of course new relationship with Gaura. Hahahaa..

Well, where I have to begin, humm.. 

OK! Let me post about my sister wedding 1st! My other half finally getting married, my God, it was like a big commitment I can say. Praise God that both my sister and her boyfie ready to take the next step. The wedding held in Bali and Jakarta. This was my favorite time of the month, cause I don't have to be stressed out thinking of the works (since I'm in the middle of waiting for my new job to start), I will have a time to gather with Landra's Big Family and also I can spend my holiday in Bali a bit longer. yeayness.. 

A day before my sister's big day, a whole family got busy prepared everything. Me also! Me as a bride's maid should accompanied the bride doing body treatment from head to toe. Lucky me that was the job that I'm looking for. hahahaa.. We choose Kanaya Spa at Singaraja, never been to that place before. I even not assume there's a beautiful spa place in the small city like Singaraja. The good thing is the price is really much lower compared with Jakarta. Happy!

… Finally the day has come, its 28 of June to be exact. I dont expect that wedding ceremony in Bali would be that exhausted. In keeping with tradition, the ceremony should be held at both of the groom's and the bride's village. I even should change my clothes for 3 times. Yes, in Kebaya! I torture every part of my body for 2 days. Huksss.. yes, sorry for compalining, kids nowadays are being spoiled badly. I’m an example for that as well. Hahaa. 

The ceremony went well, everything went smooth. The only thing i should prepare for an answer was the family and relatives' question who asked me when will I decided to get married? I know it just a casual question. But it is indeed annoying. They asked me, over and over again. Syiits. It suits exactly like when I was in Olga's wedding, on that time I do have an answer, I said "Yes I will! But after Mandy (my sister) got married! hehee" and close the conversation. Now, the only thing I can do is comforting myself with smile and said "Yakinin jodohnya dulu tante.. hehee.." and done.
Humm, I have no idea when I'll be ready to take the next big step. There's no correlation with my current BF actually. Its only me with my own perspective. Getting married is one of the scariest commitment in life. I still need time for my self to grown up and maybe the timetable of getting married will be perfect for the next 2 years for me. Who knows what will happen by that time?? Hahahaa.. I don't know.. I’m waiting for it to pop out in my mind someday. Maybe it’ll appear when it’s time for me to get a husband. Just let God do the plan. *wow, I’m a professional in self-comforting. Hahahaa..*

Anyway, here it is some pictures of the wedding ceremony in Bali. I really want to share a better quality of the photos, since these are not taken by the professional one. Will post it later after I received the files from Mandy.

The bride's maid doing her job! at Kanaya Spa ~

1st day, at Banyuning Village *ignore my crocs please*

2nd day, at Bubunan Village. *now, please kindly neglect my make-up.Thank you* -___-

New Family member! :))

Happy Wedding Sissyyy...

Hew. The post finally comes to the end. I gotta stop here cause my stomach is having a concert inside right now. Ciao and hope that I manage to update from time to time again. Cheers.

Lots love. ♥

Bye RAOUL! :" )

Another opportunity has come, another chances are open.. Its not easy to take the decision to leave my current office. I learned so many new things here, gained so many experiences, met loads of new people and this place help me build my characteristic and makes me know my abilities further. I got heaps of projects while i'm here, at first, i'm wasn't confident at all because i'm a new bie, I never handle big projects like RAOUL brand before. But as time goes by and with the people around me I learned how to be a good leader, how to solve my mistakes, how to handle bosses and how to deal with principals professionally. Window roll out every seasons, Press Open House, lots of trunk show, in charge for RAOUL runway during fashion nation, VM evaluation report, attending market week in Singapore and have to do the VM presentation in front of principals by my self were the most memorable and cherished memories RAOUL ever gave me. My team taught me more than I could ever ask. I became more confident and never underestimate my self anymore. 

Finally, after a year and a half of exciting and memorable stint with RAOUL, with a lot of consideration, I decided to resign in order to pursue other career opportunities. huks! 

I remember it was March 28, 2011 when I first walked in to Gilang Agung Persada office and I was so excited about this place and now I know taking a chance to work in RAOUL was a right thing I ever did. : ) 

Here it is my 'See You Around!' email blast to my co-workers. Its a tradition in Gilang, to wrote a goodbye notes in your last day as an employee there. Lil bit emotional when i wrote this one. Hahahaa.. I don't know, i became super sensitive when it comes to saying goodbye! huksss.. 

Dear colleagues, 

As you all know, I am moving out from this company to pursue my other career. This was my first job and therefore I am quite emotional about leaving the place. I have made very good friends and acquaintances here. Today is my last working day and I couldn’t leave without saying good bye to you all. :" ) 

I take this chance to thank all of you for your support and guidance through out my work as a VM here. It was great working with you all and I have learned a lot from each one of you, especially my RAOUL super team, Mba Winny, Mba Ingrid, terimakasih banyak telah mempercayakan aku si fresh graduate ini untuk menghandle RAOUL selama kurang lebih setahun belakangan, banyak hal baru dan kesempatan belajar yang aku dapet. Terimakasih banyak untuk bimbingannya! :" ) 

Mba Hilda, Ninov, thank you for all the support that you have given me. I got a lot of learning and lots of cherished memories. Jangan berantem terus yaa.. hahaa.. Sukses selalu di RAOUL! 

Mba Linda, Dicky, Cha-cha, Farah and Winny, maaf udah banyak ngerepotin tiap RAOUL ganti season.. atau lagi ada event.. Terimakasih buat kerjasamanyaaa.. HITS Selalu untuk marcomm! ; ) 

Terimakasih teman2 di Gilang yang tidak bisa disebutin satu persatu, Its been a lifetime experience having a friendship and working in the company with you. I am leaving my job with a happy note! : ) 

Warmest Regards, 

NINDA

Bye Mr. Rabits and nom-nom. Take care there! :" )

Got a 'little' but expensive gift from my team. I'm in tears when I read those messages.

Huks. Thank youu RAOUL team! ;" )

… And to most of my peers who read this: even though we barely acknowledged each other within that office walls, I hope that in the future, should we pass on the street, you will regard me the same way as I regard you! Please do keep in touch!!! ; )

Lots of Love,


NINDA
