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!
*how tiny I am between those two guys*

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! :))

Siblings. ♥

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

My cubicle.

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

VM friends!

My High End team (Raoul, Celine & Givenchy)!

Lunch together as a team at Zenbu Senopati at my last working day.

My last time do the finger prints. Hahaha..

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

Slightly Delusional

While the memory is still fresh and everything, let me share this happy moment in the newest post. hehehe..

Last saturday, my BF, Gaura celebrated his birthday, He's turning 29 this year.. *yes, 29..*

I always loveee the vibe of Birthday. Making surprise, saw a happy face of my close relatives when I congratulate them, received a gift, exchange the treats, yesss I love Birthday even if it wasn't me who celebrated the day. hahaha.. But on my BF case, it happened vice versa. He’s not that big on birthdays, so it wasn’t a big deal for him. Humm, I assumed it was because he already celebrated his birthday for 29 times, so it wasn't special anymore.. hahahaa.. I don't know, just a random guessing.. 

What you actually wished for to make your BF day more special?? Mine,  I want to do something sweet but not too gushy for him on his birthday itself. Well, my plan, I hope I can be the first one who congratulate him right at 00.01am in person, he could blowing candles, eat cakes with me, I hope that the presents I ordered are making him happy, and I hope that his day was somehow made special because of my efforts.

To actualize these plans, I start to browse some stuff that he might need. After looking to several places and based on my closest friends opinions i decided to bought two stuff that he possibly can use in his daily activities. A watch and a polo shirt. To complete the package, I'm making a scrap book card as his birthday card, included pictures, wishes from his family and I added a small column at the back of the card, and wrote "Gora's wishes at the age of 29!" at the top of it. I asked him to wrote what he wants to achieve in this year, the top 3 , so he won't lose sight during his time to reach all of those. Well, he didn't want to wrote his goals in front of me, maybe he wants to keep it just for himself. hehehe.. 

Nonetheless, the day would not just go smoothly. A day before his birthday, my car should get repaired at the car service and it takes like two days to fixed the machine. huksss.. Right on his birthday, we didn't celebrate anything, he just accompanied me to the car service to took my car back and the rest of the day was doomed. Because of my fault. huksss.. 

To paid off what was missing on the other day, Sunday early in the morning, I drove my car off to his house, with cake, card, and a bag contained with gifts. I stick to my initial plans, he blow out the candles, I directly give the present to him and he's happy. What occurs on that time was the consequences I have to fix. banded in mind. With my limited GPS brain memories, I amazed I can reach his house safely without being lost. ahahahaa..

The birthday plans effectuated well, more intimate and happier because of him and his family,  He's happy, just like 'the birthday boy' supposed to be.. at least that's what I saw.. hehee.. We compile the day by traveled around Cibubur's area. First stop, the one and only mall, Cibubur Junction.. yeah, never been to this mall before. We watched MIB 3 and taking lunch, like our usual date, then in the afternoon, we went to the lake side resto, Telaga. The weather was really nice, the eazy brezzy swingy wind brighten up our tour. hehehe..

After such a rare cibubur's tour, we went back to G house.. I'm not straight away went back to Jakarta, due to the traffic to the highway. I have to waiting like 2 hours until the cars are not too packed. At G house, his mother asked me to stay for dinner, lil bit awkward actually, cause again it was the first time I join a dinner with my BF parents.. Trying my best to contain myself, the way i act, like keep my self not too laughing out loud.. hahahaa.. yeah at least stay nice.. because sometimes I notice I overreacted if I over excited.. hahahaa.. 

Nevertheless, me and him is such a bizarre combination, he who is really silent with all his individual nature, mix with me who is talk-active in a positive way *I'm not being defensive ;p* and slovenly characteristic, but still, as always, we managed it up. At least we've tried to managed it up. hehee.. 

Okay, and its a wrapped! Hope that day remain as a good reminiscence for you G.. Lastly, as I wrote at the lowest column of the card.. "May this year be filled with all that you desire. I ♥ You!"  ;)

Lots Love,

NINDA

When Prayers & Hard Work combined

Wow, how wise my post's tittle is.. Hahahaa.. 

Well, April was such a roller coaster for me, in terms of works and career.

Remember on the last post i told you that one of my friends gave me a job offer and I still waiting for his news so i'm not telling you the whole part?

Anyway, this is the continuation of the story. I've landed to the opportunity to working overseas. Not too far from Indonesia actually, its in KL. But still, its not in Indonesia. hahaha! I was thrilled at first when I received the news that I got a chance to doing an Interview there. It just a few months after i submit my resume and CV. Yet at the same time I felt confused and a little anxious, and wonder "Well, what I have to do now?" hahahaa.. The company just gave me a very limited time to decide whether I'm in for the interview or not. Sure I said "YES!" without thinking too much, since this is the chance I've been lusting from the last couple of months. I mean working overseas has always posed a great experience for me, if I take this chances, aside from the works scope, at least I will be able to improve my english since its the 2nd language in Malay. Then, I will be more dependable on my self, I've never been live far away from home, and I am really excited on that time.

Well to keep the story short, the preparation for the interview was not as easy as I thought, I have to printed out all my projects I have done recently, revise my resume, made a proper pas photo, booked an air flight tickets, did some research and studied more about the company, and oohh btw, my passport was expired! hence, I've tried to find a 'joki' to extend my passport, and voila the passport can be use again after i paid the 'joki' for about IDR 800k (damn, he robbed a lot! -___-* ).

Soo here we go. I was being interviewed by the VM user, HR, HR Manager, and the COO. Every stage of the interview went well – my skills and my presentation positioned me as their prospective candidate. I did a window roll out on that time, I met heaps of new people there, I learning many things as I expected, I've tried 'mamak' (it's like hunting a cheap street food at night with a bunch of friends) and I got a chance to visited several new places in KL. Really a blithe full days I've spent there. : )

After I'm going back to Jakarta, the company still stay connected with me to discuss about the contract and work permit. Unfortunately, my work permit is still on process (really hard process to be approved actually) since there was a regulation that can't be ignored. The company still looking for a way to solve my work permit case. The decision haven't finalized yet. Nothing to lose. I leave it in the fate's hands. : )

Regardless of the unplanned 'work permit' issue, whether I am accepted or not, the experiences I've earned there was an excellent learning opportunity that can help me manage the next steps of my professional journey. Priceless!

Here we go! : D 

KLCC Tower, The location where I'm doing the 1st window roll out. 

My 1st KL friend who accompanied me when I was there, Nadjwa! 

I miss you Nadster!!! 

Trashy video I was made when I am at LCCT, waiting my flight back to Jakarta. 

Boring to death and my flight was delayed almost an hour! *do ignore! ; p* 

Still put my hope high on it! Wish me luck guys! ♥ 

Lots Love,

In the Spirit of Weekends.

Heyhoo.. Happy Sunday, everyone! Not sure where the week went. Not even sure where the months went, to be honest. Time just keeps flying along. hikss…

Anyway, Have you ever been lying in bed in the morning, not quite awake yet but still aware on some level, and suddenly thinking what have you done lately? Or thought of what you gonna do during the day? Or remembered that you haven't check-listed some plans in your 'what to do' list? yeah thinking about random things.. I know somehow its wasting time but that's what I loveee to do in the morning, my guilty pleasure.. I don't like shockingly awake and rushing to the office, it takes like 30mins for me to be wide awake and start doing my activities. It might be the reason why i'm super happy when the long weekends come.. Meaning that I will have double days to savor this guilty pleasure! hahahaa!

Talking about long weekends.. what you all do during this holiday? Wishing you all a lovely weekend, whatever you are celebrating. Its gonna be good for sure if you take some time to enjoy your family and friends, a good book, and maybe a little me time, like enjoy packed of DVDs or simply taking a power nap all day!

According to me, long weekend is the perfect time to divide activities, since I have more time to be used, I split my 3 days off to spent with my best friends, boyfriend, and family, so nobody feels left out! Hahahaa.. On Friday, I went to mangga dua with Dian, *yeah,girls will be girls* we shopped, shared stories, and made a little plans for our Clothing Business (yes you can check the online collection here ;)

On Saturday, as usual, I allocate all my time for my BF.. Since 8am in the morning Gaura was ready to picked me up and we went straight to Eco Park Ancol. We rented bicycle there and cycling around eco park.. It is an unusual date for us, and it was the 1st time we took physical exercise as a date, its been ages since the last time I took a casual exercise and My God, I'm dying enough while riding the bike. Thank you Gaura for make me face a near death experience on that moment! -____-*

After such a fun time riding bike, we starved and going around ancol to select the best resto for our lunch. We decided to lunch at the Pizza Hut and took a strategic place beside the beach. Although the weather was really hot, *Gaura sweating all over* the ambience of the place was really nice! Will come back to that corner again anytime soon.. :)

Well, after our stomach full, we burned some carbo by took a walk around the beach. The gloomy weather and the wind blows helped us to stay excited *you know, if its hot, I'll not going and my mood will sag in a flash* hahahaa.. While walked, There was a sculpture in the bridge that steal my attention. The heart sculpture called "Dermaga Hati". I don't know where the aesthetic of the sculpture is, but I feel its really unique and it reminds me about a place in Korea where you can tagged two padlocks with the couple names on it, and the korean belief it will leads the couple to the happily ever-after life.

These are the pics of the "Dermaga Hati" Sclupture! ;)

Many padlocks tagged around it.

I think if we care enough to read it carefully,

We will find many love messages that left unsaid. Hahaa..

The Le-Bridge!

That's a wrapped! We went back to my home, got our body cleaned and ended the day by watched The Raid and took a dinner. 14 hours with him in a day.. Thank you dear… ♥

And at 00.00am, In keeping with tradition, me and my family made a birthday surprise for dad! Our super daddy turns 56! Yihaaa...

HAPPY 56th BIRTHDAY DAD! LONG LIVE AND PROSPER! I LOVE YOU!!!!

Daddy's Straight Face : l

Thank you guys! See yaa in the next post! ;)

Regards,
