Yeay! Finally! Ke Singapore juga.. setelah booking tiket dari April 2010 :D

Day I

Sampe di sana jam 11.40

Celingak celinguk kaya orang dodol, bingung ga tw MRT ada dimana..

*cara paling gampang emang naek taxi*

Mondar mandir berkali-kali, akirnya tanya information..

Ternyata harus ke terminal II dulu naek skytrain khusus airport..

Sampe di Terminal II ngeliat tempat beli tiket MRT dan lgsg ngantri..

Setelah dpt MRT card, bingung lagi MRTnya dimana.. XD

Udah masuk ke MRT station, tanya lagi di Passenger service..

Takut nyasar..

Thx God, ternyata orang Indo, jadi lebih gampang di cerna.. :D

dan kita minta MRT map sama dia..

Karena gw stay di Chinatown, jadi naek MRT Changi turun di MRT Tanah Merah.. 

Lanjut lagi ke arah Joo Koon turun di MRT Outram Park..

Ganti ke Purple Line ambil arah Punggol turun di Chinatown deh..

Ambil exit D ke arah Upper Cross Street..

Begitu keluar, bingung lagi, People's Parknya mana..

Nyebrang jalan..

Dari sebrang baru ngeh, kalau keluar MRT itu langsung People's Park Centre..

Jadi nyebrang lagi deh.. 
Wakakakakaka, bawa" koper bolak balik, odong :D

Begitu nyebrang, kendalanya beda lagi.. 

Sekarang bingung mau ke apartmennya lewat mana..

Nyari Lift 1.2.3 ampe masuk" ke dalam Centrenya..

Ternyata ada di luar.. :D

Akirnya dpt liftnya, naik ke lantai 20, langsung taro koper dkk, cabut lagiii...

Penuh perjuangan juga, tapi seru, buat pengalaman :)

Lanjut ketemuan ama El dan Arip..

Mereka nunggu di dlm MRT station..

Kita langsgung ke Bugis.. tadinya mau ke Bugis market, tapi ternyata batal..

*di hari terakhir kita jadi kesana ternyata*

Cuma makan aja disana..

*ToriQ, enaaakkk*

Abis makan, kita liat-liat barang apa yang bagus..

Trus kita lanjut ke Orchard minum di Old Town Coffee..

Baru mau masuk, eh telunjuk kaki kiri gw mau ngacung, dia kram.. --"

Maklum dah, di Jakarta jarang jalan :D

Jam 5an kita pisah dgn El dan Arip coz mereka harus ke Thai..

*thx ya guys udah luangin waktu buat tmnin kita*

Abis pisah, gw shopping di Orchard.. 

Beli ini beli itu.. nunggu sampe malem..

Ngeliat cwo cantik kaya leonardo dicaprio..

Jadi ketularan crita El tentang tagline Nilam..

Langsung mandi.. Trus kita makan bubur babi mantab di bawah..

Lutut kanan gw masih sakit klo di tekuk, huu..

Langsung menuju ke Jurong Bird Park..

Salah turun MRT lagi..

Mustinya di Boon lay, kita turun di Jurong East, untung belom keluar stationnya..

Sampe sana, nunggu bis ke arah Jurong..

Jam 11 kita sampai disana, langsung gerak cepat..

Kelilingin Jurong dalam wkt 2 jam saja..

Ngebut bo!

Abis itu kita nunggu bus dari Jurong ke Zoo..

Ternyata datengnya jam 2.10, sedangkan kita jam 1 sudah selesai..

Akirnya kita naik Singapore Express tapi bayar double..

Masing" SGD 4..

Gpp lah, daripada buang waktu..

Ternyata dari Jurong ke Zoo itu jauh juga, 1/2 jam ada..

Begitu sampai sana, langsung hajar lagi keliling Zoo..

Cukup 3 jam saja, trus kita lanjut ke daerah Dhoby Ghaut..

Mau makan sushi di Nihonmura..

Lokasinya di dalem The Cathay, di basementnya..

Makan ampe kenyang buanget disana.. Yummy!

Dari sini, kita bingung mau kemana lagi.. Akirnya kita putuskan jalan-jalan di Marina Bay..

Pas di dlm MRT ada 1 kejadian yg gw pgn crita tapi ga enak.. 

Rada nge-ras soale.. 
Yang mau kepo, tanya langsung ke gw aja ya.. :D


Keluar MRT Marina Bay, jalan kaki ke Bay-nya..

Duduk-duduk disana, enak bangeettt..

Trus mau ke Merlion, jalan kaki lagi.. 

Jauh bo!

Kaki gw ampe panas..

Udah puas foto", sekarang mau balik..

Ga tau MRT terdekat dimana, kalo balik lagi ke MRT Marina Bay sih OGAH!

Jadi tanya-tanya orang, tapi tetep aja ga tau dimana..

Untung ketemu orang SGP bae, di anterin deh sampe MRT Raffles..

To those who are married, .. Not married .. and soon to be married, I hope you will be touched with this story...

MARRIAGE
 

When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and
said, I've got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly.
Again I observed the hurt in her eyes.

Suddenly I didn't know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know
what I was thinking. I want a divorce.. I raised the topic calmly.

She didn't seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly,
why?

I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the
chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we didn't
talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what
had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory
answer; she had lost my heart to Dew. I didn't love her anymore. I just
pitied her!

With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated
that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company.

She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The woman who had spent
ten years of her life with me had become a stranger. I felt sorry for
her wasted time, resources and energy but I could not take back what I
had said for I loved Dew so dearly. Finally she cried loudly in front of
me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her cry was actually a
kind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me for several
weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer now.

The next day, I came back home very late and found her writing something
at the table. I didn't have supper but went straight to sleep and fell
asleep very fast because I was tired after an eventful day with Dew.

When I woke up, she was still there at the table writing. I just did not
care so I turned over and was asleep again.

In the morning she presented her divorce conditions: she didn't want
anything from me, but needed a month's notice before the divorce.

She requested that in that one month we both struggle to live as normal a
life as possible. Her reasons were simple: our son had his exams in a
month's time and she didn't want to disrupt him with our broken
marriage.

This was agreeable to me. But she had something more, she asked me to
recall how I had carried her into out bridal room on our wedding day.

She requested that everyday for the month's duration I carry her out of
our bedroom to the front door ever morning.. I thought she was going
crazy. Just to make our last days together bearable I accepted her odd
request.

I told Dew about my wife's divorce conditions.. . She laughed loudly and
thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she applies, she has to
face the divorce, she said scornfully..

My wife and I hadn't had any body contact since my divorce intention was
explicitly expressed. So when I carried her out on the first day, we
both appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us, daddy is holding mummy
in his arms. His words brought me a sense of pain. From the bedroom to
the sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten meters with her in
my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly; don't tell our son about
the divorce. I nodded, feeling somewhat upset. I put her down outside
the door. She went to wait for the bus to work. I drove alone to the
office.

On the second day, both of us acted much more easily. She leaned on my
chest. I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I realized that I
hadn't looked at this woman carefully for a long time.. I realized she
was not young any more. There were fine wrinkles on her face, her hair
was graying! Our marriage had taken its toll on her. For a minute I
wondered what I had done to her.

On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I felt a sense of intimacy
returning. This was the woman who had given ten years of her life to me.

On the fifth and sixth day, I realized that our sense of intimacy was
growing again. I didn't tell Dew about this. It became easier to carry
her as the month slipped by. Perhaps the everyday workout made me
stronger.

She was choosing what to wear one morning. She tried on quite a few
dresses but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, all my
dresses have grown bigger. I suddenly realized that she had grown so
thin, that was the reason why I could carry her more easily.

Suddenly it hit me... she had buried so much pain and bitterness in her
heart. Subconsciously I reached out and touched her head.

Our son came in at the moment and said, Dad, it's time to carry mum out.
To him, seeing his father carrying his mother out had become an
essential part of his life. My wife gestured to our son to come closer
and hugged him tightly. I turned my face away because I was afraid I
might change my mind at this last minute. I then held her in my arms,
walking from the bedroom, through the sitting room, to the hallway. Her
hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. I held her body tightly;
it was just like our wedding day.

But her much lighter weight made me sad. On the last day, when I held
her in my arms I could hardly move a step. Our son had gone to school. I
held her tightly and said, I hadn't noticed that our life lacked
intimacy.

I drove to office.... jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the
door. I was afraid any delay would make me change my mind...I walked
upstairs. Dew opened the door and I said to her, Sorry, Dew, I do not
want the divorce anymore.

She looked at me, astonished, and then touched my forehead.. Do you have
a fever? She said. I moved her hand off my head. Sorry, Dew, I said, I
won't divorce. My marriage life was boring probably because she and I
didn't value the details of our lives, not because we didn't love each
other any more. Now I realize that since I carried her into my home on
our wedding day I am supposed to hold her until death do us apart.

Dew seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud slap and then slammed
the door and burst into tears. I walked downstairs and drove away.

At the floral shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet of flowers for my
wife. The salesgirl asked me what to write on the card. I smiled and
wrote, I'll carry you out every morning until death do us apart.

That evening I arrived home, flowers in my hands, a smile on my face, I
run up stairs, only to find my wife in the bed - dead.

The small details of your lives are what really matter in a
relationship. It is not the mansion, the car, property, the money in the
bank. These create an environment conducive for happiness but cannot
give happiness in themselves. So find time to be your spouse's friend
and do those little things for each other that build intimacy. Do have a
real happy marriage!

If you don't share this, nothing will happen to you.

If you do, you just might save a marriage.

Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they
were to success when they gave up.

3 bulan kedepan..

today my mom ke acara persekutuan doa di Sarinah..

pembicaranya Romy Sahertian..

Dia bisa mendengar suara Tuhan..

yang bilang kalau dalam 3 bulan kedepan, kita harus semakin mendekatkan diri kepada Tuhan..

Dia ga berani tanya apa yang akan terjadi..

tapi 1 hal dia minta udah ga saatnya kita maen" lagi..

Rajin doa, rajin puasa, dekatkan diri pada Tuhan..

Gw cerita sama Aldwin 'bout this..

And he send me a text..

'Yang penting bukan kita mengira" apa yang mungkin terjadi 3 bulan kedepan, 

tapi apa yang bisa kita lakukan hari ini,

kita lakukan yang terbaik..

dan bukan keinginan kita, 

tapi kehendak Tuhan yang jadi..'

Gosh, i love him soooo much..

*kiss*

14.11.2010

Hari ini gw dan Ald resmi selesai mengikuti Bina Pranikah di GKI.. :)

Akirnya selesai juga setelah mengikuti 2x hari minggu..

 dari jam 7.00 pagi - 5.00 sore..

Selama 2 minggu banyak banget info" yang bisa kita dapet..

Mulai dari info tentang tata cara GKI, gimana ngurus di catatan sipil,

info seputar sex, gimana cara memanage keuangan yang baik,
sifat" cewe atau cowo dari segi psikologis,

dan gimana build keluarga yang OK di tengah konflik yang terjadi..

Nanti gw akan coba share deh, khususnya di segi psikologis dan masalah konflik.. 
Lagi nyari kata" yang gampang di pahami hehehehe..

*xoxo*

Dream of Wedding..

Setiap orang pasti punya impian kira" weddingnya akan seperti apa..

Yap, itu yang lagi gw alamin skrng..

Gak tau juga sih, akan kesampaian ato ga..

hehehehe

 

1.Bridal

 Gak ada yg khusus dari Bridal..

Yang penting make up bagus, gak terlihat medok..

Bajunya gak masalah mau second juga..

Walopun mereka bilang itu baju baru, 

mana kita tahu kalo gak pernah di pakai orang lain?

*Note: Ada beberapa bridal yang make up cuma muka saja lho, galz..

Bagian leher dan pundak gak rata sama muka..

Hasilnya pas di foto udah kaya ronggeng..

Oia, dan ada beberapa bridal yang gownnya itu ngegantung..

Hasilnya aneh saja, karena kitanya akan pakai hak sepatu..

Persis kaya kandang ayam di gantung :D

My Dream:

Atasan entah kemben doang atau ada lengan, no problem..

Tapi bawahan maunya celana pendek sepaha..

hahahahahahaha

Gw males banget ngebayangin harus pake kandang ayam gitu..

Ribet banget kalo mau pipis.. :D

Kalo soal sepatu, thanks God gw dapet Aldwin..

Jadi gw bisa pakai sepatu yang haknya cuma 3cm.. 

Amaaannnn..

Problems:

Soal celana pendek, aneh kali ya..

Dan paha gw sih gak kecil" amat.. :D

2. Foto Prewed
Gw boseeeennn banget liat foto prewed yang cuma saling menatap pasangan..
or saling menatap yang gak jelas kemana..
or saling kissing.. dimana" kissing mulu, halah!
Bosen banget deh!

My Dream:

Karena gw dan Ald itu pecinta anjing...

Pengennya sih foto di 1 tempat peternakan anjing gitu..

Entah dengan puppies or doggy yang besar" juga gak masalah..

Duduk di tengah" anjing yang banyak itu, main" sama mereka..

Bisa terbayang betapa menyenangkan sekali rasanya..
:)

Problems: 

Gak tahu ada gak tempat kaya gitu yang bisa buat foto prewed..

Kalo special case biasanya UUD sih.. hehehehe

3. Tempat Resepsi

Standarnya sih di gedung..

Masuk, narik wedding bell, jalan lagi ke pelaminan..

Duduk, bangun, potong kue, suap"an..

 Tuang sampanye..

Duduk lagi, dan liatin orang lain makan..

Salam"in orang sampe senyum kering..

My Dream:

Lokasi outdoor..

Entah itu di pinggir pantai, pinggir kolam renang juga gak papa..

Or di daerah yang banyak pohon juga bagus..

Bukan hutan ya..

 Dengan dekorasi yang minimalis but elegan..

Wedding cake yang pendek" aja, simple..

Masuk, NO wedding bell yang harus di tarik" itu..

Duduk bentar, potong kue + suap"an..

And then, berbaur dengan tamu..

Bareng / Pisah dengan Ald juga gak papa..

Terlihat lebih hidup saja..

Dan gw juga bisa makan, hahahaha.. 

Oia, malah gw pengen 2 kali resepsi..

Yang WAH itu khusus saudara dan teman dekat gitu..

Yang 1 lagi untuk orang yang kita kurang dekat..

Kalo yang ini di gedung sih gak papa..

Hahahaha, diskriminasi ya gw?

Problems:

Outdoor gak murah..

Apalagi dengan 2x resepsi..

Pengennya sih cuma 1 yang saudara dan teman" dekat saja, 

tapi apa daya, gw anak tunggal dengan berjibun teman dari orang tua..

Banyak maunya ya gw.. hahahaha :D

Finally.. Our Engagement Party.. :)

10.10.2010

1. Lunch with Aldwin

Gw dan Aldwin ke GI dulu, kita makan di Social House..

It was a nice place, very cozy..

Actually, sebenernya gw udah ada feeling tentang siang ini di ajak ke GI..

tapi berhubung ga ada tanda" lebih lanjut dari Aldwin, 

jadi ya gw juga lupa apalagi pas liat makanan dateng.. XD

Dan.. setelah makanan kita mau habis, doi mulai gelisah ga jelas..

*muka dia mah keliatan banget kalo lagi mikir*

Me: kenapa?

Him: lagi bingung..

Me: bingung kenapa?

Him: pusing.. aku emang ga romantis..

Me: ya ga usah juga.. 

*gw kira dia mikirin ttg ntar malem*

And then....

Him: iya, aku ga tau gmn harus kasih ini ke kamu..

*sambil ngeluarin cincin dari kantongnya*

Me: woaaaahhh... *langsung grab it fast* :D

And my first question is... 'si el udah balik?'

*entah kenapa pertanyaan itu yang muncul pas liat tuh cincin*

Me: trus, kok ga tanya sih 'will u marry me??'

Him: ah iya, will you marry me?

*akirnyaa....*

Me: hmm, jawab iya ato ga ya.. toh nih cincin juga udah di gw, hahahaha..

Him: beeegghhhh :D

Ya pastinya gw bilang 'Yes, of course.. Tengkiu so much..'

And he put the ring on my right hand..

It should be on left, i know :D

Oia, Aldwin gak minum" lho dari tadi.. hahaha

padahal kan dia bukan orang yang tahan kalo ga minum..

bener" pusing dia.. :D

akirnya ya dud..

aus ya?? :D

At the end mau ninggalin restaurant..

Me: dud, cepetan.. aku kebelet pipis..

Him: beeegghh, bukannya dari tadi? kan aku bisa taro cincinnya di atas dessert..

*hahahaha*

Eventhough, acara purposenya jauh banget dari yang namanya romantic.. 

but i still like it, at least dia ga perlu berpura" to be a romantic guy.. :)

..i love you..

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Dinner with our BIG fam..

Semua udah ngumpul, udah ambil posisi masing"..

Ngobrol" bentar antar 2 keluarga, trus tiba" silent..

Ngobrol lagi, trus silent lagi..

hihihi, jadi lucu sendiri..

And then, papi Ald mulai angkat suara tentang mau ngelamar bla bla bla..

di jawab sama bokap and finish..

Ga sampe 10 menit sih acaranya..

Tapi part lucunya adalah mengetahui bahwa kedua orang tua kita,

ga ada yang bisa tidur malemnya coz mereka mikirin mau ngomong apa hari itu..

Padahal sih gw ama Aldwin mah tidur" aja.. :D

Hampir semua temen gw pada tny,'lu deg2an ga sih?'

dan selalu gw jawab 'ga.. emang harus deg2an ya?'

Gw cerita ke mam soal ini dan jawaban dia....

'ya lu ga, gw yang deg2an...' 

:D

Oia, Ald's fam gave me a very beautiful neckless...

tengkiu so much :)

And yes, i'm now officialy engaged to Aldwin :)
