Goodbye Indonesia - Welcome to Holland!

Besok, BIG DAY, huh?

Yap,.. besok Oma akan meninggalkan (lagi) kota Surabaya tercinta, dan bumi Indonesia, untuk (kembali) menuntut ilmu di negeri kincir angin, negeri mantah penjajah Indonesia. Yup,.. I am going to the Netherlands.

How is Oma today?

Ada beberapa ingredients dari perasaan Oma akhir-akhir ini:
  1. Senang (of course) karena akan ketemu Bang Tepy
  2. Streesssshh karena ndak tau apa yang akan Oma encounters di Belanda nanti. Entah akan happy, apa sedih, apa kere kayak dulu lagi,... no clue!
  3. Petrified,.. karena kali ini, benar-benar-benar walk-by-faith-kinda-step. Jadi,.. I rely on no one but God. Only God knows how I can and will survive over there. Yeah,.. Oma dapet God Scholarship. Jadi ya,... tergantung yang ngasih beasiswa mo gimana.
  4. Excited. Bakal ketemu TEMAN-TEMAN!! Keluarga di Belanda!!! dan of course 3/4 of my DieKa Friends (sorry, Golda... we are waiting for you!!)
  5. Tired,..... ya iyalaaah (masak ya iya deh,.. kan lompah galah, bukan lompat gadeh :P) secara Oma packing dan beres-beres rumah gitu lho. Mana tiap malam ada yang ngajakin keluar. Tapi seneng kok :P

So,... Yeah,.. Oma pergi besok.

Oma mo minta doa dan dukungan kalian semua. Without you all, Oma bukanlah Oma Nia :) Please pray for me, for Oma en Bang Tepy, for our future.

Oma juga mo minta maaf, buat semua orang yang pernah Oma kenal. Oma minta maaf kalau Oma sudah kasar, jahat, atau nakal sama kalian. Atau kalau Oma punya salah yang Oma ngga sadar, mohon maafkan.

Dan buat satu dua orang yang mungkin merasa pernah menyakiti Oma, I wanna say, I forgive you; yet I forget you. I sincerely forgive you, tapi maaf, Oma ndak bisa lagi mengembalikan hubungan kita seperti dulu lagi. The past has gone, sorry.

Dan buat satu dua orang yang mungkin merasa Oma masih memiliki janji, atau mungkin pernah memberikan kalian ketidakpastian. Oma minta maaf. I wanna say,... I am really-100%-clearly-purely sure with what I am doing right now. Goodbye,.. but we are friends, rite?

Thanks buat semua orang, teman, sahabat, musuh atau whoever you are,... THANKS! kalian sudah membentuk Oma seperti Oma sekarang ini.

Once again, thanks.

Goodbye

Eh,.. jadi inget lagu spice girls

Look for the rainbow in every storm
Find out for certain, love's gonna be there for you
You'll always be someone's baby

Goodbye my friend
(I know you're gone, you said you're gone, but I can still feel you here)
It's not the end
(I gotta keep it strong before the pain turns into fear)
So glad we made it
Time will never change it, no no no...

God's Plan for My Slippers

Look at my cute slippers! Lucu banget, kan!  Slippers ini diberikan sebagai oleh-oleh, dari seorang sahabat yang pada saat itu baru pindah ke New Zealand . Kalau saya tidak salah, 4 atau 5 tahun lalu slippers ini diberikan. Saya adalah orang yang practical . Boro-boro pakai slippers di rumah, sandal jepit biasa pun tidak! Di dalam rumah, kami biasa nyeker alias tidak pernah pakai sandal. Jadi si slippers domba Selandia Baru yang baru ini resmi menjadi penunggu lemari baju. Setelah Axl lahir dan beranjak sedikit dewasa, slippers ini ditemukan tanpa sengaja. Axl suka sekali dan kerap memainkan slippers ini. Namun lagi-lagi, setelah beberapa minggu, si domba kembali menjadi penunggu lemari. Anak balita itu sangat gampang bosan! Sampai 1 bulan yang lalu. Di salah satu tempat ngantor saya yang baru, saya harus bekerja di ruangan yang super dingin! Tiba-tiba, saya teringat akan slippers domba ini! Ternyata benar, slippers ini bisa menghangatkan kaki saya dengan sempurna. D...

What would you do if you could live another life

What would you do if you could live another life just for one day? This line is quoted from "Last Chance Harvey" . I have watched this film twice and still feel so touched everytime I watch it. Kate Walker, the main character in this film, uttered this question to Harvey Shine. In this story, both of them lived a life that is not very happy-chappy. Kate lived in a pathetic, boring life; Harvey in a screwed one. When Kate asked this question, both of them seem to ponder: what if I could live a different life, just for one day, just to try out. This question makes me ponder, too: what would I do if I was given a chance to live any kind of life I want, just for one day? Where would I be? What would I do? Who would I be? Lately I have been thinking about the life I am living right now. Everything is so well-planned. I graduated from high school, went abroad to study, came back home to work, went abroad again to do my master, working in a reasonably good organisation, and going ho...

The Bright Side

Always look at the bright side of life - Monty Phyton This song has been sung during the Olympics closing ceremony last year; and this has been my cheer up song ever since. Thus, referring to my earlier blog about how I was not happy with the way we got married, well, I tried to look back and to see the bright side of that circumstance. So if I could share a few things, which might be helpful to you, who are in the middle of preparing a wedding, here they are: 1. Wedding dress I was really happy with my wedding dress. I love the designer, Fifi Firianty , which was very helpful and very professional, and of course her work is stunning. From the first time I met her, I knew there was a click. So, if you look for a designer, who has a European style, please do consider her.  But just some tips, make sure you ask to have you dress fitted one day before the wedding. I had it measure 3 days before the wedding, but in the last 3 days, I ate almost nothing. So this dress...
