so… that night we dressed up, had a bit of fancy dinner, with red wine, christmas presents, also shared some laughs and fun….. that must be christmas eve! despite being a friggin cold night, we owned the night. we didn’t even give a damn to those people in our surrounding who laughed at us (most probably because of our camera-freak-attitude). still, we rocked the night. it’s christmas eveee!  I love the christmas presents too!

and oh, please look at that red lipstick. laugh all you like, it was one of my 2010 resolution to wear a red lipstick. and I’m quite relieved that I finally made it a go.

“He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice because of his birth (Luke 1:14)“

MERRY CHRISTMAS! may all good things come your way by His grace. God bless us all.

today is Indonesia’s version of mother’s day.

Happy mother’s day to all mums! special greeting to my mum: the funniest, cutest, prettiest, greatest mum alive! I’m a proud daughter to have mum like her. and i humbly acknowledge that her prayers strengthen our family!

i’m no kidding with that cute label. she is so cute. and funny. and everything I want to have for a mum. and we are good friends. i love you, mum! thanks for everything.

hello! It has been a long time no writing and now I feel the urge to do a sneak peek to this little dear blog then drop some stories. well, my deepest heart miss writing.

you know, I’ve become a nomad these past few weeks. my life was all about packing-moving cities-unpacking and it goes on and on. my sister came about two weeks ago. our euro trip mission was completed just a few days ago. then, my parents and little brother arrived 2 days ago in the UK. needless to say, I’m now in charge of taking them for a trip around the UK. if I am to be honest, I’m tired of travelling a bit. but on the other hand, I’m sooooo happy! how can I not? all my family is here for a visit, and we have a really good time. that’s all that matters, I suppose.

Now, I’m writing from the living room in an apartment we stayed in Edinburgh, wearing as many layers of clothes as possible to keep myself warm from this chilly Scottish weather, playing christmas songs. to top off, the family gathering thingy! I love them so much. (a bit teary here) Ok, the drama queen is back. hahaha. as far as I remember, this time last year, I was facing quite a difficult time. some problems here and there. don’t worry, I won’t spill all details here because I’m not THAT drama queen at heart. haha. Now, I can only thank God for this moment. despite the past, and the future (with many uncertainties).

and christmas is just around the corner! I guess the weeks prior to christmas are the loveliest. I’m always sad when Christmas left, honestly. haha. Pretty sure I’m not the only kid who gets really fascinated by Christmas stuffs. Well, it’s a shame I can’t celebrate christmas at home with full family (parents and little brother can’t stay longer until christmas, and I can’t go back home this time). But still, I’m so thankful that at least I can have christmas with my sister and boyfriend here in the UK this year. that’s more than enough.

I also have my graduation ceremony coming up, in a few days from now. I’m so sad I can’t wear kebaya. haha. Then, welcome to the jungle! I should soon get on with job hunting and the applications thingy. It’s gonna be tough, I know. But just deal with it! work hard, pray hard!
