Wish the rain goes away from everybody's life.............

Life is not always fair
when you think that you are happy, there is still something which makes you not to be happy
I'm happy now but my friends is not in the good luck, how can I be happy???

Roda kehidupan berputar, sometimes you are up, sometimes you are down..........
When you are in the peak, do not be overwhelmed..........
When you are not in your luck, don't worry......the rain will go away....

Be tough my dear, .........
Perhaps it's not your day, but you will be even stronger ahead...
I cannot make you feel better, only you who can make everything to be the best.........

Hold on friends.......
I will try to give you my shoulder, you can count on me
but what can I do if I cannot make you feel better........
I don't have power, I'm not the one who can turn my hands on and off........
because I'm only me.........

Day sightseeing @ Pancoran

No place to go this weekend………

Hectic Malls and traffic jam within Christmas shopping are one of many reasons why I hate travelling.

Hence, we should go to Pancoran yippie……a lot of `pernak pernik`, many `jajanan`, and interesting `printilan` everywhere ^_^

Actually, still wondering if Kani is ok travelling by mikrolet, but in the way she is going fine, no need to worry. She enjoys enough to be near strangers.

The problem is, oh….you are quiet heavy now baby………..

And still you choose to be with mama rather than papa,

`Come to papa ya kani….`

“mama……”

`Sebentar aja de…….., tuh di kantong papa ada apa tuh?`

“mama………”

Okelah kalau begitu………

Anyway…………..what we got from asemka – pancoran:

- 6 animated big bags of Hello Kitty, Winnie the Pooh, and Princess – sold out

- Pita serot -- titipan

- socks – titipan

- cheong sam of Hello Kitty for Kani – hope brings our shincia brighter due to cute Kani ^_^

- ice cream hmmmm yummy……horay

Still want others but time yet flies so fast, and Kani is sleepy so I think its time to go home………

Next time we’ll go onward yahhhhh

Cheers,

vani

New words

Kani,
kenapa kata2 berikutnya "Kupuk......"
enak yah makan kerupuk :)

Adventure with Kani 6 Dec’10

On this kejepit day, Kani and I went to Mangga Dua square……….only two of us hohoho………

It was the first time we went together, only two of us,

Felt so adventurous………

Pertama, kita ke Pancoran dulu de, katanya sih mau lihat2 ada apa yah disana, hmmmmmm ….mau beli angpao, obat amah, dan apa lagi yah………gak tau deh………

Mau naik mikrolet, kok yah penuh terus yah………mana kamu udah berat lagi digendongnya nih,,,,,,

Yah udah, naik bajaj aja deh……..:)

Eh….kok malah nangis pas mau naik bajaj………..takut yah de denger suaranya yang garing bangetttt!!!

Tenang yah de, its ok……..bajaj is no fear……..

Anyway, after shopping in Pancoran, we went forward to Mangga Dua Square to see Moni, mom’s best friend and spent time together like old time………

First time went by taxy,,,,,,kani was so shy, and quiet…..did not want to sit alone, just wanted to be seated with me……

Luckily she was had fun after all in Mangga Dua Square, crowling around the Dolphin Fun land.

Playing with ayunan, balok2, kotak2, dan tiny house……….

Had a little accident when Kani met funky little girl who was very wild and almost scream on her, kasihan kamu de, sampe2 pipinya merah dicakar dia, untung gak kenapa2, …hfhfhfhf……awas aja tuh anak kalo sampe kenapa2 yah……..hahahha J

Terus kita main yang lain yah sama kezia………had lunch with KFC and then went back home.

Felt so tired, kani feel a sleep on the way home, sambil kepalanya terantuk2 di gendongan ……hehehee

Next time, kita jalan2 lagi yah de………..

Cheers

Life is like roller coaster

Just found out that a friend of mine, had bad miserable moment in life.

I knew Mimi from Linda when I was depressed in my love life; she introduced me to Buddha, and taught me how to live in Buddha way. They drove me to wihara twice I guess, since then I found the most religious moment in my life. They both were happy couple and nice person.

Once, Linda was also jealous with her boyfriend, since he was such a loyal person. He always took care and served Mimi all the way, they had long relationship before we did.

But her boyfriend has passed away last year due to seriously sick.

Sorry mimi, I never knew it before, and pray the best for you. Wish your karma brings you happiness.

Life is never flat……….

Cheers,

vani

Flashbacks.........Wedding vendor part 1

Flashbacks

Time goes by so fast, and suddenly we have been married for 2 years. Still bear in mind the wedding day and the hectic preparation at the moments.

What I really bear in mind during that day is the preparation, and it comes up to my mind that there is nothing too lose if I make up some review about how I felt at those moments. So here we go, just like others who review their wedding vendor just after the time, I also want to concern about the “Wedding Vendor Review” ……….hehehe telat yak………better late than never……J

We only had few vendors to prepare our wedding, because many wedding package which we picked served wedding package to make us easier arranging the day……..it was the main purpose, but the fact was……….tetep aja ribet deh……..

a. Eva Bun Bridal

Location : Harmoni and Mall Artha Gading

Products :

1. the wedding gown and make up

As many other `brides to be`, we also visited some of wedding fairs, which hopefully we could have special offer during the fair and easily compare among one vendor to another.

We picked this bridal at one wedding fair held in Hailai, Ancol.

Actually this was not `my dream bridal` at the moment, what in my mind about this bridal was Eva Bun = old fashion style, and `kayak ibu2 banget deh`, furthermore compared to other new style bridal such as New Brides, JJ Bride, or else……..ooohhh I love them. But si koko kept convincing me that with their experiences handling many wedding for many years, we could count on them……..yeah…..

Anyway, since I did not have any interest to this vendor, ….i made many and even more extra bonus than they offered, yeah….just like other vendors who used to impress the customer, they tried to impress us, me with more and more other package that we could get by choosing them. Moreover, the first wedding fair day was so calm, and only visited by few customers. Thanks to other wedding fairs who also held at other place, such as Jakarta Fair wedding fair……..

And I `aji mumpung banget.com` kept asking more and more………..

We spared some time in the car once after we got some offering from other bridals, such as New Brides, JJ Bride, that all I remember, and came back to the fair with `one decision`……..yes we picked Eva Bun Bridal as our bridal………and still with many wishes………..i wished they could dress me with modern gown that I could have every woman wedding dress………..©and wish I could have every woman wedding dream………

From the standard package which they offered the first time, we could have almost doubled than before:

#GOWN AND DRESS#

For the bride :

One wedding dress on `D` day (Nov 1^st;2008)

One wedding dress for the Holy Matrimony (Oct 4^th, 2008) à additional

Two wedding dress for Pre-wed photo session pictures, one for in-door session and one for out-door session

One folk dress for Pre wed in door photo session

For the groom :

1 million (plus additional 0.5M) voucher for the Blazer; our choice came to Grisvian Hewis since they have the showroom @ Plangi.

For the mothers of the bride :

Two gown for my mom and mom in law; fiuhh….. although this extra bonus has made some argue as they did not admit it once we came along with our mothers, then also made si koko claimed that I was not carefull watching up this agreement in the beginning. Anyway after some arguing and hustle, we did not pick these gown though, our mothers made up their gown by other tailor, but following our theme color – Gold –

For others : one gown for the bridesmaid, two gowns for the Front door, plus 3 extra gowns for the rest.

In total we got 7 extra dresses for everyone, except for me.

On D day, the gown goes to my mom for `Tea pai session`, my sis, two sis in law, one front door

Thanks to Nuri, our sales agent, who helped me a lot grabbing my bonus J

And also a lot thanks for their staff who were not so bother if I came there almost every week, picking up, choosing, demanding out to achieve my dream wedding gown.

If you see my finally choice, ………it’s so adorable, not to say glamour, but kinda simple elegant `Cinderella look alike princess` dress……….hahahha……….

#MAKE UP SESSION#

As promised at the start, I would have the make up artist by Eva bun herself for the wedding day and holy matrimony too. That’s what I concerned about at the first time, since the holy matrimony took the one day after Lebaran day, wish `she` did not go abroad for holiday.

But in the middle of the stage,…..they said that they could not afford this……..OMG……..

I was so upset and disappointed at the moment………as the compensation, we asked more bargaining to substitute that one; that is 10 more extra Pre wed photo pictures, as stated in my compliance letter.

And they were agreed.

Though, at the holy matrimony day, ms. Paula, the daughter of Eva Bun, was there, and still did my make up. Oh….boy………she was so nice and very much well indeed as the result.

I could have a touch up make at the hotel, as the started, but they said, I could not afford it.

Anyway, since I already got more extra, plus there was the Mercedes Benz which was not used optimally (8-hour-rent for free) as another of their offer, then I agreed it.

The fact is, I arrived at noon at the bridal for touch up make up and ms Paula was still there, and she did the touch up. One of the staff who handled the finishing stated that, `I was so lucky to have the touch up by her`……..jarang2 loh mbak bu Paula mau touch up lagi……..lucky me……J

#WEDDING CAKE BY PAULA CAKE#

Well, I wished I could have high stage cake, not so call – glamour cake- but the price is too expensive, not to say, it was only as accessories, due the original cake has already in packed by pieces, ready to be given; so we deal for simple ordinary cake but…….. I did not know that an ordinary cake would be so nice and perfect, fitted to our theme – again, Gold and a little Reddish.

In the end, we did not count on the taste, as I only ate piece by piece for the photo session.

#FOTOGRAPHY#

Yet, ordinary result, but we could have it on CD besides of cassette à another bonus J

Although not so great, since it mostly contained of the holy matrimony, ……ohhh I wished I could have more time to edit it and have the wedding day event longer………L

#PHOTO ALBUM#

Wow…..so nice ……..if you see it……….so impress and love it so much………

Enough folk for this moment, if I had more time later, and………. More willing to review other vendor, I will continue this story……..

Cheers,

vani
