Rudy Salvator and Cecilia Niek's Wedding :)

Yesterday is one of my besties wedding day (cecilia Niq Sumana Putri and Rudy Salvator), i and Iv are involved to their big day. it was my pleasure when she asked me to be her bridesmaid. i and Niq met in 1996, we're soon become closed not because our character (we hv different character) but we re really have a great conversation and love the same things like drawing, writing, reading, rabbit, even the japanese history and harry potter :P. i like draw but im not expert in it, not like her who is expert. i love her drawing, it always great and amazed me. anyway, we're apart when we're junior high and we met again at Tiara kasih. lols. eventhough there are many students there and mostly are girls, but we still become bestfriend like we used to, plus jess and ana. we love to chit chat, we love to hang out together, we have fun together and share our good and bad times together, we support each other and cheer up one another. but lets not skip the important part, when she met rudy and soon become a couple. They seem just like an ordinary couple, they looks comfort each other and fit each other, but not like crazily in love. lols. Frankly, we never surmise that they will become husband and wife one day. our thought re just the same. but the thing that i knew from the start is they fill each other. they complete each other. we all know (including me, for sure) who is niq, how her character and rudy could make her smile and temper her.

 

As a teenager, we love to chit chat about relationship and wedding. we converse about who is getting married later. will be niq, me, ana or jess? ana recorded it, i and ana said niq will be marry first. i win! i win! well, niq must treat us!! yeay!! ^^v

 

well, we never know about the future. most people re often to start and end relationship many times, so like i said before..we never expect that niq and rudy will through this long journey to become one.

 

Niq and Rudy's journey wasnt easy at all. they have been 8 years already. they through many things together, including their hard times. Long Distance relationship isnt easy. we all know that. many people can't survived, but they survive. USA and Indonesia are separate billion of miles, they see each other once in 2 years, they talk with skypeor any social media. its hard, they must be had many miscommunication and jealousy. but after all the things that they experienced, at the end they still together..because they love each other.

they're not a perfect couple at the beginning, but they re trying to be better and better couple. now i see them as a perfect and happy couple ever. i can see through their eyes. they dont have to utter words, we can see their love to one another within their act and the way they look each other.

 

Okay, lets back to the teenager times. niq always dream to become a wonderful bride with a wonderful wedding party, just like every girl. but not like most of the girl's dream, she dont want to have a big fancy plush luxurious wedding party. she just want a simple private party that elegant, warm and impressive.

well, now she get it. she actualize it. she, with rudy's help make her dream come true.

 

Niq looked stunning in her wedding dress. not just her gown who make her look dazzled, but also her face. she look refulgent and splendent.

i know she's exhausted after all the things that she have to prepare before the wedding day, but its not cover her happiness. its obviously seen. ivan is agree with me. isn't it? ;)

 

The wedding party perhaps not going perfect and smooth but i and ivan (soon, would be we or us :p)  must admit their wedding is one of the greatest wedding that we attend. its not enermous, or resplendent, it just a small wedding party but it full of people who close to them, who care and love them, simple, warm, eminent, unique, preferential and impressive. i love the videos and the surprise that rudy gave niq. it just a simple video, not something excessive. but its touching and sweet. it really melt niq's heart, including me and all of the people who watched it. he said his word with serenity and sincerity.

he said thankyou that niq hv been willing to wait him and suffered all this long. "I'm glad that finally you're mine" is rudy last sentence to Niq. how touching. *start to sweep tears*

how a lovely wedding.

 

Gosh! i dont want to start cry again.

i feel all the feeling altogether.

it feel weird that one of your besties is marry, that we all aren't  single anymore, we're not young anymore, its time that we have to start our new journey, our new family.

 

so, for Rudy and Niq..it isnt a happy ending story but a new beginning for both of you.

perhaps it won't be easy, it won't be happy all the time, you both must be face the hard times together. but i believe that you both can through and pass that hard times together, with trust, faith and love. you both aren't two anymore, but one. you both hv to filled each other like you both used to, through all the good and bad times together, for better for worse till death do tear you both apart.  I know that you both can do it! ;)

 

im not crying because i lost my besty.

(hmm, a bit perhaps :p) but im crying because im happy that you are married niq! you found your soulmate!

i wish nothing but all the best things and happiness for rudy and niq.

 

its hard to say goodbye, because you have to move to united states.

but i believe that many good things wait you there and i bet you will be happy there. i envy you. move to united states would be awesome! hehehe...

i and ivan(hopefully) could visit you both there, when we're officially married(hopefully) later. :p

 

Once again,

CONGRATULATION TO MR AND MRS SALVATOR.

WISH THE GOODNESS AND HAPPINESS TO YOU BOTH NEW FAMILY!

HAPPILY EVER AFTER DEAR!

LOVE YOU!

Iv's Bday (11.04.2013)

Today is my Iv's bday!! yeay!!
I dont want to give him surprise on 00.00 11 apr because it just too ordinary, so i try another way.
He always work-lat since he work at head office, so i decide to give him surprise at his office. well, i know that he already expect that i will give him surprise but he doesnt know where or when i will give him.
so, i call friend of mine, Cia who work at unilever. she gave me so much information, the secretary phone numb, his office, his floor, his desk. its really useful. THANKS NISSIA a.k.a Cia! xD
i still congrats him in the morning, because i know that he will be suspicious if i didnt congrats him. he know that i couldnt forget his birthday. but its possible if i forgot what date is today. lols.
i ever did it before with one of my besties, and she a bit angry. haha.
i also update my status for him, so he won't that sure. and a bit hesitate. 
i asked my bro to drive today. we used to used motorcycle, but today is exception. we went early morning because would be traffic if we late just a few minutes.. really.
then, we re going to cheesecake factory.  a bit puzzled which cake that i choose. the tripple cheesecake (look so yummy) and the tiramisu cake. but after a while of considering and deliberate with ky, i decide to bought the toramisu one. i never cheesecake's fact cake. it taste good. i mean, mostly. 
but for cheesecake, The Harvest is still my fav, but i already got that cake hundreds of time :p, Secret Recipe is also taste good. If wanna by chocolate, try 'Dapur Cokelat' at Greenville. its quite famous for chocolate cake. and anyway, ky also contribute for the cake. how sweet he is. :)
he really concern with his brother-in-law ;)

well, let's skip skip skip the office hours. 
its 18.00 already and he hasnt arrived yet. i feel sleepy and anxious at the same time. 40 minutes later, he arrived already bring the cake, and we ready to go. but soon after that, iv said that he wanna go home because today is his bday. well, sounds fair. he cant work-late on his own bday rite? so we decide to go to the busway stop and i will stand beside the door so when he arrived and the door open, i can step when people re coming out and wait iv. he must be totally surprised. i cant wait! xD
so, here's the plan: i and ky will go to his house, park the car and we join with his dad to the bus stop. we cant park our metalic car there, because he will notice, our jazz colour is too bright and will rivet one's attention, so park there is a bad idea. 
but when we arrived at his house area, its really difficult to seek his house. i couldnt remember his house because all the lane and the house re just look the same for me. and when we asked the people there, they dont have any idea where V street is. its kinda desperating. erggh.
finally i called his dad, and his dad arrived at the bus stop already, so i decide to go there but his dad insist that its better to me to just wait at iv's house. he also said that perhaps we couldnt make it, and my bro agree with that, so my plan isnt work out. make me feel blue, just a bit.  huff.
so when i arrived at his house, i put my gift at his bedroom, i hide my shoes under the chair and my bag at his other room. and i hide myself at the kitchen and prepare the cake and the candle. while i still prepare and light the candles, iv and his dad come home and he said out loud to the lil girl at his house (his mom's student) that her face looks strange, like theres something..and he said that he found my shoes so loud, its constantly made me dejected. Gosh, i know that today is his birthday and i just want to make him happy on his birthday but i must admit i hate him at that time. he dont respect and appreciate my effort. but i still come out, grimace and sing with discordant sounds, and i didnt care anymore. haha.
i try really hard to have smile on my face. we take pictures, eat dinner "udon with meatballs and mushroom" together. we had a bad bad bad and awkward moment. he smiled before, but because i treat him badly it alos make his mood swing. he hate me as well. 
wow. how great! failed brthday surprise, bad moment and bad feeling. the come all-together.
i just cant help it! i mean, i hate him constantly and just for a moment  i become an evil and selfish lady ever.
its his birthday and i just concern baout my failed surprise and his bad act response me. 
it takes me a while til i calm down and convinced myself that its his birthday and no matter what i felt, his feeling is the most important. i cant ruin it. because the main point of my surprise is to make him happy, not the surprise itself. surprise is just a way to make him happy.
i try to get my mood better and its get better, and also his. lols.
we end up great, we have a great chit chat with his parents, i get introduced with his cousin, a girl who look alike with him, and we take many picts, its so lovely. i asked him to look the gift, he must tried it because tomorrow is the last day we can change the shoes if the number didnt fit to his.
but its fit perfectly, and he loves it! how great!! xD

after that, we re going to the sevel, meet up ky and his friend. his nice friend. lols.
iv bought me a vanilla and chocolate Millefoglie D'italia mini Snack. its my fav snacks in beijing. lols. one of my favs, i correct. lols.

and he also bought me a cheese mash potato. yummy. super.
i went home happy and he look happy too. :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETHEART :)
LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND sorry ...

Terrific Easter xD

Today is easter! Iw and Iv will celebrate their first easter together! how nice!

so early in the morning, he pick me up on 06.30 am and im ready to go! I dont forget to wear my ring, spirt my perfume (really nice fragrance :D), pick the gifts for his cousins and ready to go.

we dont talk much in the car, he focused on the street and i turn on the musics from my mipad. we talk sometimes, but not much. he seems tired, and so do I. sleepy...sleepy... 0.0

well, after short time..we arrived at church, iv's parents already there. i met his mom, enounce happy birthday to her, give her slight kisses on the cheeks, and taking them pictures with the easter bunny and the eggs. how a lovely family :D and lovely picts.

soon after that, we enter the church..ready to worship. after the mass is ended, i meet some of their friends. there was tere (one of ivmom's student) and her parents, theyinsist ask us to have breakfast with them. they really force us! lols. well, so soon after that we bought ice cream. 'banana smoothies' by buavita, unilvere product. Iv said its yummy, so we bought for ourselves and for Tere's family that consist her, her brother, her parents and her aunty. Iv's mom said thats its too sweet, and too much milk..but because im one of those banana lover and milk, i could say that i love it! its really banana and milk. hmm, yum yum! :D

we have dim sum at Imperial Chef's. I LOVE DIM SUM! Did i ever mention before? well, if i haven't, i tell you now. I love dim sum, and I tried many all you can eat dim sum almost at 7 or 8 restaurants in Jakarta, not all of them. because it isnt good to taste something that u not sure its delicious or not even its cheap.

well, we ate quite many variety...

Fish porridge (****)

Cakwe (*****) why i give 5 stars? because its crunchy and not oily and taste good.

Another kind of cakwe that wrapped with ce ceong fan (****)

Dove's soup. (****) taste so good, but not fav. so ive 4 stars. i never taste dove's soup before.

Hakau (*****) hakau is always nice, and hakau is one of my fav all time. the shrimp re big, crunch and fresh.

Shrimp spring rolls (*****)

Fried Shrimp Dumpling (*****) crunchy and savoury.

Fried Taro with the meat inside it. (****) savoury and delicate.

A bun with the salted eggs and srikaya inside it (*****) sweet, mellow and delicate. i tasted it before in Yong he Kong, Beijing. love it!

Hrp , a kind of sticky rice with meat inside. i dont give stars, because i dont taste. I didn't taste it because i can't eat that. but i guess its savoury! :)

well, we ate all of them and getting full. like so full.

after that we back to Iv's house.. iv change his clothe, i have a small conversation with his mom, and she gave me candle ice 'es lilin', i took the soursop fruit. nice nice. i mean not the ice, but his mother. :)

after that we re going to emporium.

we bought the tickets for 14.40, Olympus Has fallen then we went to J.co, bought a couple yoghurt, not really enjoy that.

soon after that, we decice to take a walk, go to the car, put the powerbank and we're going to the cinema, we order the caramel popcorn which is small and expensive. well, we love caramel..but i decide that we just to have buy the sweet popcorn next time, because its much cheaper and much bigger. :D hehehe..

Actually iv and I got a wrong assessment. but well, thats fine. i think it would be great, hope so. its about the terorist thing.

 and we really enjoy watching it. and i really wanna watch The Host next time. i will ask iv to watch with me, because it must be awkward to watch the Science Fiction and romance with your parents. lols.

after watch, we have dinner together.

firstly, we wanna taste Raffel's. looks really good, the burger is big and looks so yummy, i never taste it before, and it turns out Iv also never taste it too. hahaha.

we wanna taste it, but we dont like the environment,it just too open. there's no privacy and incovenient. not because we wanna do things, but we just dont like it. i personally dont like noice, crowded and loud voices. i love cozy place, tranquil and homey with the soothing sounds/ music. ;)

well, after we going round and round, finally we decide to eat Ta Wan. we order beef pitanporrideg (my fav)large portion, broccoli scallop with Ta Wan sauce which is really tasteful, and dori enokki, also taste nice. we enjoy the dinner with taking pictures, having nice conversation and joking around. it just feel so great.

well, after that we re going to the ben dad's funeral. and there re some of bens's besties and iv's friends join there. I thought it would be awkward, but its not at all. ben quite surprised when he saw me, but he could handle it.

we attend the mass, then we ate the suki. i never ate suki at the funeral before. we used to eat porrige, generally.

but the suki taste good. after we hving conversation and enjoy the food, we decice to get home. iv looked not well, he look exhausted and sleepy. in the car, we still hving conversation, eat fruits and nutella crisp from his cousin (love it!), and when we arrived..he said happy easter to my dad, and my parents give the gifts to his parents.

so, today is really going great!!! SO TERRIFIC!! xD

and i have new clothe! cant wait to wear it!

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!

HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS EASTER TOO! :D

Good Friday :D

This Easter was really great for me. i mean, terrific! :D
so i spent Good Friday with Iv and my family and spent Easter with his family. perhaps it seems common to some people, but not for me. i never invite my bf or had meals together (eithers its breakfast, lunch, dinner, brunch, supper or any else like that. ) with my family. because i felt it just to intense for me. Before, i never invite my bfs not just because my parents is a picky parents, which they would not like if i invite my bfs to having meals together if thet dont disagree with our relationship (which they never agree before) but dispite of their agreement, i also feel incovenient to invite my bf hving meals with my family. So i decided i will invite my bf, if imsure with him. So, this is it. Iv is really a good bf, he's not just romantic as i ever mention before, but he also faithful, dutiful and i feel he really love me, because he wanna meet and introduced to my besties (we have several double dates appointment later) and he also introduce me to his besties and friends, he want to spend quality time with my family and he also want me to spend quality time with his family, which is incredible because most of my exes never concern about that. not because they didnt care. 
so, good friday is coming (March 29) and he came on time (or earlier) => [ i love this guy! he almost never makes me waiting and appreciate our appointment) and we re going to the saloon (across my house), he cut his hair while i watching his cute face, take picts and was playing games. after that, we back home..my parents looks exhausted. my dad was sleeping when i got home and my mom busy with something else, and me prepare for the lunch. so, whats the menu for today? its my fav actually, and would be iv's fav dish later. he always love what i love :p Actually we love some of dishes and snacks.
so, the menu today are: sweet chilli mushroom and fried cauliflower. well, perhaps sounds weird to you, but trust me its so yummy. Iv like usual ( i dunno whats wrong with him to be honest), he's not just love staring or watching me while we re watching movies together, he also love to take picts of me or videoing me. i mean, im not photogenic and look great in front of the camera. i could bet that video must be aweful. i must be look messy, sweaty, not great at all. he's rec me while i was cooking. hmm...
i wanna delete his video, but he never let me.
errggghh...

okay, after all finished, i called my parents and my bro. we ate together and the lunch went great.
that day was the first time iv having meals together with my fam.
we( i and iv with my fam) couldnt attend mass together. its because my parents re the easter comittee. well, thts fine. later maybe. actually since we all re the church activists, we re so sheldom( i wanna use this world, i kinda miss it :p) to had mass together. but yeah, with bro or mom still fine. my dad is an archdean, so he definitely couldnt attend the mass together with us. :(

so, i attend the mass just with iv. Kiky with his friends, and it would be awkward if we join them. lols.
before the mass, ky and iv played ps together at ky's bedroom. they sounds and look really enjoy the games. i can heard they yelling from downstair, my dad was heard too. lols.
i took the fruits with me to upstair and eat that while watching them play. my heart feel so warm and happy that my bf could be close with my bro, and he will being close to with my fam later. :)

at 2.00 pm we decided go to the church, i mom and iv with his car, and ky with this friends.
the mass start on 3.00 pm (weird, not raining since its always raining on good friday as long i could remember) iv like to share the book together with me, even we have 2 books. then, after the mass end, we re back home for a while just to took my ring, i wear it and also him.
we're going to my second house, puri mall. puri is kinda small, but i always love that mall. really feel convenient and nice. okay, so after we arrived there.. we re looking for iv mom's bday gift. iv wanna bought her a belt and a bag. so after we keep searching and searching, finally we found a belt at The executive and a bag at GaleriKeris. Finally we found one! (the bag i mean) because its really hard to find the good one. and the handbag look nice :)

after we get the gifts (i meet our fam's close friends) we decide to have dinner. today we just could eat veggies, so we went to Tawan, but its very crowded there just like usual, so we re going to Pizza Hut (but it hv long queue) so we re going to Din Tai Fung ( we never been here before), we wanna order porridges, but theres not porridge yet, so we order tofu. iv interest with fried tofu seaweed enokki ( we love mushroom) and i interest with the tofu coated with salted eggs (tofu telur asin) i love everything with 'telur asin' whether its shrimp, tofu, poultry, anything. lols. and we also order jiao zi ( a kind of dumpling that filled with tofu (again) and veggies), we like the dishes. quite nice and the portion is fine. (not that big and not small), but to be honest i dont like the price. din tai fung is quite expensive personally. because we spent 200k up just for that not-meat dishes. well...
i had a funny story while we re eating there. there was one family who sit beside our table. husband and wife with their mother. this family is really interesting. they keep complaining since they arrived. they complained about the meals, then the husband want to change the 4-dumpling to 10-dumpling, and the wife also wanna change their sour sweet soup with asparagus soup, but she can't..because the soup is ready. and the wife is unhappy, she said she just order 5-10 minutes ago, how come the soup is ready? so she said it must be not fresh. lols. and again, the husband ask the waitress about the tea that he ordered. he ask what tea leaf that they used to make that tea, and is it a chinese tea? because he cant sleep if he drank chinese tea, thats why he order a general tea. he insist ask the tea leaf that they used. and eventhough they explain already, he still keep asking. hewww. the husband said overall dish there arent good, and the wife said perhaps it because he didnt order the right dish. well, they also talking about our dishes. 
weirdo..

well, after we're full.. we look the stuffs, bracelet. (actually its me who look around and iv accompany me :p) and after that we re going to downstair, queue for milk tea. iv insist to pay mine, but i win. yeheey :D

after that, we back home. :) :)
 really nice good friday, isn't it? ;)

Iv-Iw's picts

Celebrate "Cheese Day" with Iv :)

whats the matter with 25th february?

theres no special even actually. but, we always celebrate our time together, everytime we meet. i always feel excited and happy everytime i meet him. perhaps because we're apart and we cant meet too often. yeah, perhaps its one of the reason.

but the other reason is just im happy to be with him, no matter often or rare frequency that we spent together.

 

so, yesterday we went to Living World, one of my fam's fav mall..then today we re having lunch together.

while i worked today at 11.20 pm..suddenly theres a cute waiter deliver a cheese ore smoothies, one of my fav! she said its from the Kaffein's guest. well, he's sweet and cute, isnt it? he always make me smile.

For Iv: *but dont to this if im angry okay? we call it "ngogok". lols.

 

then..we're going to the Cheesecake Factory, we cant eat upstair because they dont allow to, so we choose seat for four at the corner, taking pictures like we used to. today, i look prettier and more photogenic than yesterday. :p

we look up the menu, he choose lasagna and i choose 'cheese mix' pizza. yummy yummy :D and we also order banana smoothies but theres no banana, so we just order ice lemon tea and he insist to order oreo cheesecake for dessert. aaargh..

 

we enjoy the foods, i loveee them. i LOVE cheese, but if you eat too much.. we just like wanna throw up. okay, fortunately we order lemon tea, so that sour taste could balance the cheesey taste.

so, overall the lunch was great!

the lasagna is creamy and yummy, with the beef, tomatoes paste and cheese, and the pizza too. love them all. and we enjoy them while we joking. yeah.. about the "ear" thing. erggghhh...

 

sometimes, iv just too confident.

he always think iw isnt good enough to be paste (physically).

just wanna pinch and bite his chubby cheek.

 

well, we will celebrate another, perhaps banana day :P

 

PS: have fun in Bali (25-28 feb) i envy you! dont forget for the 'disco nut' and cant wait for our first month anniv. love you sweetheart. :)

Val's Day 14.02.2013

what is valentine?
most people doesnt know about where the valentine day come from, or why there 's a valentine day. people only know that we as a couple compulsory celebrate that day.
well, perhaps it isnt that important to know the history actually, but if you know, its even better. ;)
because if we know the real meaning of valentine, we could celebrate it with our heart, and not just for the 'obligation'. ;)

of course, its so common that couples celebrate the valentine day together.
they're having a romantic dinner together, like fine dining or just a simple candle light dinner. and some of couples re going vacation together, or just give a romantic gift for their partner, like something cute, flowers, chocolate or even jewelry.
couple celebrate it with their own way for sure, and even there some couple who never celebrate the valentine day, because based on their opinion, everyday is valentine.
its doesn't matter how we celebrate it. the most important is that we could enjoy the val's day together with someone we dearly love, and cherish that moment. :)

well, i hope that i and ivan could celebrate our first valentine day together.
but we're apart. but it doesnt bother. we could still celebrate it with another way, skype perhaps. ;)
i'm not born as a romantic person, but ivan is
he's the most romantic guy that i ever met and i ever love.
he gave me Godiva yesterday, which surprised me. he ALWAYS surprised me. :p
i never be surprised before when i had relationship with my exes. all surprises re expected.
maybe we couldn't meet up and celebrate this valentine day together, my love.
all i can do is just give you this post and poem, hope you like it. :)
NB: the val's day card that i send you last night is a handmade, its customize and design by myself, not template. :p


Always Valentine (originally
By Joanna Fuchs) I’ll always be the one who looks at you,
And sees you in a fond and loving light;
I'll always know that you’re the one for me,
Because when we’re together, life is right. You’ll always be my love--my hero, too,
The person I can count on constantly.
You satisfy me like no other could;
I’m ecstatic that it’s you who makes us "We." I'm always thankful for the day we met;
I love you, and I’m happy you are mine.
I’ll always feel this joy, this bliss, this peace,
If you’ll be my love forever, Ivantius. I don’t need Valentine’s Day
to remember how much I love you,
or how much I want to give you
everything you need,
everything you want,
and delightful things
you haven’t even thought of,
because you give so much to me.
I don’t need Valentine’s Day
to remind me to strive always
to create for you
surpassing happiness and satisfaction,
just as you have done for me.
I don’t need Valentine’s Day,
but it gives me a reason
to open my heart to you,
to tell you loving things
I think in my head
but forget to say out loud.
Happy Valentine’s Day, Ivantius Sweetheart;
You mean everything to me.       Love you always; Iwid ^^
