Birthday Surprise for Suci

SUdah tiba di Jakarta dari tgl 29 sore.

Dari sebelum berangkat sampai tiba di Jakarta ngga mau updet apa-apa dulu apalagi buka path. Takut rencana surprise buat suci gagal! Haha.

Tiba juga tanggal 31 Januari.

Udah bikin grup khusus dari sebelum pulang, khusus buat surprise suci. Sampai si Budy suaminya Suci kerjaannya keluar masuk grup karena ikut memberikan info-info. Budy pun jug baru tau kalo gue sudah di Jkt. Kirain tgl 5 Feb seperti yang gue bilang ke Suci.

Rencana suci dan sekeluarga akan maksi di PIM 2.

Jam 12an temen temen sudah mulai berdatangan di pim. Ada juga siti yang belom berangkat. 

Kita-kita berinisiatif untuk ngumpul di PIM 1 aja biar aman. Agak lumayan lama tunggu-tungguan, solat dulu ampe makan dulu di hokben. Hihi.

Jam 1an kita udah kumpul.

Akhirnya berbekal dari info si adiknya Suci, kita berbondong-bondong ke Sushi Tei. Dan eksekusi langsung di ruangan yang udah dikasitau.

Alhamdulillah berhasil! Suci kaget heheheheh.. Kaget lihat temen-temen dateng apalagi ada gue yang ujug-ujug nongol. Walau katanya dia curiga kalo gue udah di Jkt ah tapj yang penting berhasil xixixixi. 

Langsung deh kita foto-foto, dan kongkow rame-rame di Fish n Co.

Alhamdulillah.

Thanks suci! Mulai tgl 31 ini gue udah bisa update macem-macem di path hahaha...

It started from a blog....

Tiba-tiba muncul keinginan nulis tentang hal ini di blog.

Alhamdulillah mulai ngeblog dari tahun 2007  gara-gara Raditya Dika, pengen kocak kaya dia cerita hidupnya dan gaya penulisannya tapi ga bisa hehe. Berlanjut ini blog jadi Diary gue banget, tiap hari ngeblog terus.

Sampe adakalanya gue ga nyaman untuk nulis hal hal pribadi lagi di blog ini, yaitu tepatnya pas gue mulai ikut hijabers community, dan link blog ini terpampang nyata di blog hijabscarf yang hits pada jamannya dan di blog HC. Ya padahal apalah isi blog gue ini dibanding blog yang lain yang fashion blog, gue blognya isinya tulisan aja dan cerita. Nah makanya itu jadi labil, pengen juga blognya jadi kaya ala fashion blog. Tapi ah susyah, ga punya skillnya. Jadi yaudah balik deui dehhh...

Nah pada jamannya lagi hits-hitsnya hijab blogger, ada satu blogger yang menyita perhatian gue. I kept stalking on her blog, on her tweets. Akhirnya juga nyapa-nyapaan di twitter ya kalo ga salah, dan bertukar pin bb. Seneng banget bisa punya temen baru dari dan di dunia maya. 

Suci Utami namanya.

Siapa yang tak kenal dia?

Huehehhehe.. Saat itu suci masih stay di KL sama suaminya yang lagi S2, jadi belom ada kesempatan kopi darat.

Selama itu kita suka bbm-an, cerita- cerita. Seneng deh nyambung pokoknya, apalagi gue juga ornagnya suka chatting di hp.

Singkat cerita, waktu itu kita dan teman-teman lain meng-arrange suatu pertemuan dengan suci utami, mumpung dia lagi di Jakarta. 

Wahhh seneng dan deg-degan ketemu suci. Rasanya kaya waktu ketemu suami dulu, kopi darat juge! Hahaha.. Pas ketemu, yaaaaaa dia masih banyak diem dan malu-malu gitu. Ternyata dia ga seekspresif kaya di foto-fotonya yang konyol dan lucu haha. Dan suaranya juga lucu, sunda abis haha..

Dari situ, muncul lah ide untuk bikin grup dibbm bernama Blogger Married (dulu sering post ttg mereka). Ya we shared many things lah bersama-sama, tapi tetep ketertarikan antara kara dan suci lebih kuat (hah maksudnya?) ya ngobrolnya nyambung.

Berikut kesamaan gue dan suci:

Lahir di bulan Januari

Menikah di tahun 2010

Suka nonton tv show sampah Indonesia (haha)

Tau artis-artis indonesia

Pengamat

Alert banget sama HP

IRT :p

Suka makeup

Hmm apalagi yaa,

Tapi lama kelamaan sering ketemu kita jadi cair juga. Tapi tetep sih lebih nyablak kalo di chat room, kalo ketemuan langsung beneran kaya kopi darat ama pacar, malu malu awkward dulu awalnya. Butuh ice breaking haha. Rasanya kaya aneh aja gitu ketemu ngobrol langsung, denger suara masing2, liat ekspresi masing2. Jadinya bawaanya mau mesem2 mulu *jahh nggilani yak hahhaa

Kita sering ketemuan di Bandung waktu jaman gue kuliah di sana, pernah juga tahun lalu lagi hamil ke rumah suci yang jauh itu, dibeliin martabak pulak, dinner di rumahnya pulak, masuk kamarnya pulak main ama kenza.

Kita beberapa kali transaksi nih, pernah beli LM di dia, nih sekarang giliran dia yang transaksi ke gue minta beliin *sensor* hahaha.

Berasa banget kehadiran suci di dunia maya tuh pas gue di melbourne ini. Hiks. Gue ga punya temen yang bisa kapan aja hangout, jalan2 girls out gitu gaada . Huhu. Jadilah dihabiskan ngobrol di LINE sama suci. Tiada hari tanpa chatting sama dia, tanpa liat pathnya, dsb.

Pernah hp gue rusak kecemplung wc, mati total, sekitar 4 harian.. Dan dia kayanya krik krik banget hidupnya hahhaah, sampe sampe dia memutuskan untuk main candy crush dong! Hhaha

Berasa sepi juga gue pas suci umroh 9 hari, duhhhh kaya yang bingung mau ngapain. Jadilah gue nonton youtube aja. Terus di tengah dia umroh, dia kasih kabar via LINE, kasih foto masjid (apa tu ya?) trus bilang dia baik2 aja dan bilang kangen. Duilehhh kalo dipikir2 mesra amat kita??? Hhahah.

We share everything deh, gossips, bahas keluarga, anak, resep masakan, makeup, tas, sepatu, curhat, artis, acara tv indo, becanda2, banyakk dehh.

Kenapa kita sering chatting? Karena kita sama-sama ibu rumah tangga, yang gak sibuk amat, sering di rumah, sering leyeh leyeh pegang hp sambil nonton tv. Hahahhaa bahaya emang nih kalo pegang hp mulu, tugas gue sbg irt sering terbengkalai. Lah kalo dia mah enak ada si bibi hahah..

Mau tidur chatting ama dia, gue bangun tidur pun dia juga udah bangun di sana! Ajaib banget dah nih orang haha..

I would say she is one of my bestfriend, selain Rommy. Kalo temenan ama Rommy mah mesti secara real, dia bukan tipe yang pegang hp dan chatting lama-lama, jadi susah mau keep in touch sama dia. Hehe. Tapi kalo ketemu dan ngobrol pasti otomatis nyambung. Itulah ciri sahabat.

Alhamdulillah, makasih ya Allah udah kirim sahabat melalui dunia maya. Ga nyangka banget dari blog bisa jadi sahabatan. Semoga terjalin terus sampai akhir hayat. Aamin

Ini nih foto pertama kali ketemu

Ini bukan foto terbaru, males nyarinya haha... 

Dan emang belom ada foto teranyar sih, secara ketemu dia setahun laluuuuu...

Semoga lancar ya suci hamil keduanya, gile udah mau punya anak dua ajah. Jangan doain gue nyusul dulu yaa, haha yah gapapa deh kehidupan kita agak berbeda nanti kalo lo udah lahiran yang penting tetep cerita sama akooohhh. Mmuaaahh!

Graduation Day

Ada cerita seru di balik wisuda gue..

Tadinya nait balik ke Indo untuk wisuda dan memenuhi janji ke ortu kalo gue akan pulang lagi setelah 3 bulan di Indo. Tapi seiring ribetnya birokrasi wisuda di kampus gue dan lagipula gue pulangnya terlalu mepet, gue pulang tgl 1 Nov, sedangkan wisudanya tanggal 6-8 Nov. Belom gue revisi lalalilinya. Pasrah, tapi sebelum-sebelumnya gue selalu doa supaya wisuda gue dilancarkan. Tapi begitu tau dari temen gue, Dinda, Ehm temen satu-satunya yang bakal wisuda bareng, kalo wisuda banyak persyaratannya.. jadilah gue pasrah dan berniat balik ke Indo untuk revisi.

Tapi bokap gue sangatlah keukeuh dalam urusan beginian, beliau nelpon kampus gue dan bilang kalo anaknya lagi di australi dan pengen ikut wisuda, sudah lulus dari bulan Juli. Jadi kalau anaknya bisa ikut wisuda mohon dikabari. Dan pihak kampus berjanji akan menelpon balik bokap gue untuk ngabarin.

Kamis tgl 1 Nov malem gue sampai Jakarta dan hopeless bakal ikut wisuda sedangkan Dinda agak sedih karena bakal wisuda sendirian hari Kamis nanti.

Senin 5 November, tiba-tiba gue di telepon bokap dari kantornya dikabarin kalo gue bisa ikut wisuda!!! Yeayyyy!!! Bokap ditelepon pihak kampus dan gue silakan ambil undangannya dan toga... whatttt jadi gue ga harus revisi sebelum wisuda??? ihiyyy! Rasanya pengen ke Bandung hari itu juga tapi ga mungkin.

Oiya dan gue agak ragu ke bandung sendirian karena takutnya ada apa-apa dan gue ga bisa jelasin ke pihak kampus. So gue dan bokap pergi ke Bandung hari selasa, ke kampus...

Ambil undangan, ambil toga.. Hah semudah ini??? heuehehhe Alhamdulillah. Jadi gaenak sama bokap yang udah jauh-jauh nganterin padahal tinggal ngambil doang.

Dan anehnyaaa gue enggak ngeliat nama Dinda di daftar para wisudawan yang sudah atau yang belum ambil undangan. Nah lohh..

Gue coba telfon Dinda, dan Dinda panikkk.. karena dia emang sengaja dan belom ambil toga dan segala macamnya. Dia berencana ke Bandung H-1 bersama bokap nyokapnya biar sekalian.

Nah lohhh.. ini kenapa jadi kebalik. Dinda yang disini malah ga ada daftar namanya, gue yang baru sampai malah ada namanya ...

Dan besok paginya, Rabu. Dinda ngabarin kalo dia gak bisa ikut wisuda. HAHHH! HOW COME??? dan bener aja emang nama dia gak ada. Padahal dia udah ngumpulin revisi dan segala macamnya. dia udah daftar di web dsb. Tapi menurut pihak kampus dia gak punya surat keterangan kalo dia mau ikut wisuda November dan sudah lulus dari bulan Juli lalu. Waduhhh. Padahal Dinda udah kesana sama bokap nyokapnya yang siap nginep di Bandung, udah cuti kantor. Huhuhu sedih bgt. Tapi bismillah diusahain semoga bisa ikut wisuda gimanapun caranyaaaa, Dinda bilang dia sampe nangis2.

Menjelang sore dia ngabarin kalo dia akhirnya bisa wisuda. Yeayy! Alhamdulillahhh.. ga kebayang kalo Dinda ga ikut :(

Kamis pagi.

Gue pun ketemu Dinda. Udah rapi jali kita. Masuk kampus barengan, dan ternyata ditanyain nomor kursi.. dan kita baru tahu kalau kursi kita di paling akhir dan sebelahan! OMG! Alhamdulillah banget kemaren pake ada drama-dramaan itu, hikmahnya kita bisa duduk sebelahan. Gue baru tau kalo tempat duduknya diatur sedemikian rupa. soalnya kalo di UI gak ada, bebas duduknya..

Hihihi kebayang deh kalo gue ama dinda jauhan, krik krik amat... :)

Prosesinya terbilang cepat, ternyata deg-degan ya dipanggil ke depan podium hehehe soalnya wisuda UI kan ga dipanggil satu-satu.

Oiya, mertuaku dateng juga lohhh dari Jakarta :)

Alhamdulillah akhirnya diakui juga sama bokap gue kalo gue udah lulus. Selama kemarin lulus sidang kayanya gue belom dianggep lulus karena ga ada buktinya -___-
Hepi juga bisa nyenengin eyang sebagai cucu pertama yang akhirnya sarjana juga. heuheheu..
Sekarang tinggal revisinya dehh.. duh males ya? :p

Btw ngerasa ga sih kalo gue tambah lebar? apa karena bajunya? Hmm gak juga, karena pipi gue pun tambah lebwaaarr!

Hi everyone,
Last saturday i had a long fun day with my girlfriendsss... yeahh.. no hubby! haha...
Been missing this time of having a girls day out...

Yea..We arranged to play laser skirmish (kinf of paint ball games but its a laser) on Saturday at High Point. we have booked to play at 11.30 am..
Saturday morning about 10.30-ish, Kania picked me up with her hubby.. He wanted to drop by us at Footscray.. Its our meeting point with Isni and Mbak Ruby..
Actually we a bit (or lot) late heheh.. sorry Isni and Mbak Ruby :D

We got on tram from footscray to High point at 11.. And arrived High point 15 mins afterwards. Then we gotta walk a bit to get the place... waw.. actuallya its kinda time zone heehe... there are games like in timezone, bowling and the laser skirmish.

We got there at 11.25. and lets play! Oohh too bad its just 4 of us who play the game.. hahaha... if there any other people who join.. we can make a two groups to battle.. but its just us.. so we should fight each other by ourselves hueheheh...

We wore kind of laser jacket on our body and carried a weapon.. we gotta shoot other's jacket as we have different colors. We got into a hall which full of walls.. yeah its our field to battle. The light is off and there was a music playing on.... haha actually i was a bit scared because of the darkness and the place is too big for 4 persons only.. and i dont really into some kind of comeptitive games. I dont like battle/ war games!!! hahahaha... and when one got shot, we (the shooter and the one got shot) usually screamed! hahahah.. funny! The game was only 20 minutes but it feels like so loong hahah.. tired of running and hiding from others hihihi it was fun tho! its an unusual activity for me hihiihi

These are some photos as we tried hard to take in a dark place haha..

Oiyaa.. actually we asked denis to join play laser, but she couldnt yet she would join us afterwards..
Yeaaa we walked back to Highpoint mall, to get some lunch.. we met denis there...
Got some lunch at the foodcourt... uhh yeaa.. i miss mall-ing hahhaa... my hubby never get me to the mall hiks. he hates mall that much hahah.. but i love!

Having chit chat while lunchy lunchy.. we moved to pray dhuhur. but we hard to find a proper place to pray.. planned to pray in the fitting room.. we entered store that much but mostly they have it half open.. finally we prayed at target's fitting room hehehe..

after pray, we continue window shopping hahaha... many stores i got in.. :p :p so tired.. As the time showed 5 pm, we gotta go home.. home?? ohh nooo... we should go to the mosque, bcoz there was a ngaji hehe..
Wait... before go home... we tried to take some pics five of us.. we used self timer! LOL... until a bule came to help us taking photo.. but her photo is not good -___- hahah

Macaroon time

Assalamualaikum..

its a late post actually.
On Wednesday, last weekend. I was hang out with my new girl friend in here in Melbourne. Actually we've arranged to hang out with others too, but the girls who can made it just the three of us. They are Kania and Mbak Ruby. They're married too and also a student.

We went to City, yeah as usual, coz city is easy to reach with train or tram. Me and Kania came together by train cause our home is nearby Then met Mbak Ruby at SBS city.

Kania felt hungry so we had Lord of the fries.. ate some fries. Yummy! We had a quite long chat.. it was a deep conversation loh! We shared many things and discuss about Islamic study hihihi.. coz living abroad is different with living in our hometown, so we discussed about many things as a muslim who live in Australia.
Oya, Kania is Indonesian but she born in Sydney, she moved to Melbourne bcause his husband live here. So  Kania is obviously influent in speaking English, yet her Bahasa Indonesia vocabulary is minim. Thats what makes her funny, her accent is very oz but she try to speak Indonesia and when me and mbak Ruby talking about some Indonesia words, she might doesnt whats the meaning hehe.. especially bahasa Indonesia yang baku and some slang Indonesia words :p
While Mbak Ruby is doing her master scholarship.. she just moved here in early 2012.

After had a long chat, and feel a bit cold.. we moved to Madinah, a mosque in a city, to pray Dhuhur.
We got confused where to go afterward.. just walked down the street.. back to QV.. and Kania got an idea where to go. She said that she knowa a macaroon store in City. Its name is La Belle at Lt Bourke St.. we still need a map tho we were just walking.. haha..
Yea finally found it! Thanks maps hihi..
The concept of the store is cute. It reminds me of Nanny's pancake in Jakarta heheh. I rare find cute store in here.

Kania asked them which macaroon doesnt consist alcohol. So we ordered the one without. Oya, its $2.50 each. Hmm pricey ya haha.. but thats ok
I ordered caramel one, while Mbak Ruby had raspberry, and Kania had Earl Grey and Rose.
Haaa.. mine is yummy! yeaa its a play safe-flavour rite hehe.

This wasn't the last stop. We moved to Pappa Rich lohh to have some drinks.. we craved something seger-seger.. hahah.

Yeaa finally we gotta back home. Went back home by train again... and ask hubby to pick me up at the station. hehehe.. because my house doesnt nearby the station huhhuhu

Alhamdulillah.. had a great quality time with them. I feel refreshed hehee.. because this is the second time i hang out with girlfriends huihui.. compare to me in Jakarta, i often hang out with my girlfriends huihui. So i was so extremely happyyyy having time with them, having some girl talks which i can't get with husband hehehek

alright.

See yaa

Great Ocean Rd

Assalamualaikuuumm..

Last Monday me and hubby and friends went to Great Ocean Road. Its 3 hours away from Melbourne. Actually its a spontanous plan, so we didnt arrange it well... Moreover i just woke up at 9 o' clock hahaha.. and asked Jane to join in the last minute! hehehek.. Jane is a friend whom spend her holiday for 3 months in here.. she's Mbak Jenahara sister..
As usual, we arranged to have barbeque for our lunch.. (the most simple way to eat haha) so we bought some meats first and some snack.

We (five persons in a car) left Melbourne at 11 am
Me, Jane, My husband, Vian and Aziz...
We shared some laughs and stories along the trip.. and alsoo some snacks! haha full of chips..
At about 2pm we stopped at some place in Angle Sea to have barbeque..
aaaa but i forgot to take some pics hehehe.. we also pray there as we were a musafir..
Then off we go to continue the trip..

But turns out we stopped again at nearby the ocean to take some pics...

The weather was sooooooo frikkin cold!!! Brrrr... luckily hubby reminded me to bring a jacket before we left home. Huaaa... never been to a beach as cold as this place... its like event not match at all. Beach and cold weather? hahh.. bad idea!

After taking some pics, then we moved to the 12 Apostles.. long way to gooo.. its afternoon already! So we gotta be hurry to catch sunset..

Finally after long way trip.. we reached the 12 Apostles. And it was even moreeee coldddd... frozen. Felt like having some cubicle ice right on my face...
Its sunset time! We arrived at the right time..

Well, we only spent about 15 minutes there haha it was so quick compared to our long trip.. But we had so much fun...
Going back home with some wind in our tummy.. so we (ehm especially me and hubby) keep farting along way back home.. nyiahahaha and the small were sooooo bad, even worse! Poor vian, aziz and jane who keep opened up the window when the smells wafted kikikikkk... :p

We got back in Melbourne at 9 pm. But we stopped by at Mcdonald's for dinner...

Thats all for our short trip..
Alhamdulillah :)

*coming up next: the video of our trip*
