Swim…swim…swim…

22 Jan 2012

Masih dalam suasana long weekend, yipppiieee…..Hari kedua long wiken ini rencananya kita mau leyeh-leyeh di rumah aja sambil beberes rumah. Bosen juga kalau ke mall mulu tiap hari…mau jalan2 ke outdoor playground takut hujan. Ya sudlah…at home indeed.

Di rumah kebetulan ada beberapa pernak-pernik rumah yang udah lama banget dibelinya tapi masih teronggok rapi di pojokan, belum diapa2in. Jadilah si papap diberdayakan untuk ngebor dinding supaya lukisan2 buah/sayuran cantik itu bisa terpasang rapi dinding ruang makan. Enak juga kalau punya suami handy man begini, hehehehe, irit ongkos ga perlu panggil tukang. Tadinya mau sekalian ngerapiin taman belakang yang baru setengah jadi, tapi belum dapat wangsit, bingung mau diapain lagi tuh taman, walhasil batal.

Ga lama baru inget, Rasya tuh sampe saat ini belom sempet nyobain kolam renang plastiknya dia. Mumpung kondisi fisik Tisya dan Rasya lagi sehat dua-duanya, akhirnya emak bapaknya sibuk mompain dua kolam untuk persiapan mereka berenang sore nanti. Untung lagi yeee punya pompa elektrik, ga kebayang deh klo harus mompa itu kolam secara manual, bisa jontor bin ledeh kite punya mulut, hahahaha.

7Ders reunited

Yeeaaayyy, Debby is back in town again…for another vacay. As usual, kalo formasi lengkap gini (yang biasanya jarang bangeet), kita langsung mengosongkan agenda untuk atur jadwal ketemuan. Cap cip cup kembang kuncup, Sabtu 21 Januari 2012 kemaren kita berhasil ketemuan semua lengkap. Janjiannya di Food Court Sency yang berlanjut ke Dante’s Coffee.

Tujuh tahun berlalu, and our appearance haven’t change a bit…well maybe except for Ruby, who gained an extra pound or two. But that extra is actually good for her, soalnya waktu kuliah Ruby begeeeennkkk bangeeet , mana tingginya menjulang…persis kayak tiang listrik, hahahaha, piiisssss ya By Kali ini ada anggota 7Ders yang lagi hamdun anak kedua, bumil Debby en Ungy. Lucu deh ngeliat ibu2 hamil, jadi pengen hamil lagi….#eh #uups #nahloh. Lucunya lagi, anak pertama kita semuanya cewe, hahahaha, bener-bener regenerasi 7Ders bangeeettt. Tapi sekarang udah ada cowonya satu, si Mbem2 Rasya

All and all, we have a blast…chit chat, catching up stories, walopun ya…tetep sedikit riweh dengan anak masing-masing, ya pun gimana ya… status kan udah berubah jadi emak2 beranak, hahahaha. See u soon ladies….

Over Rice

As stated on their website, Over Rice is a lifestyle restaurant concept serving delicious delicacies from South East Asia influenced by Chinese heritage. I’ve been to two of their outlet, the ones in Citos and Pacific Place. The one in Citos is actually their first outlet in Jakarta. Their Chinese cuisines are inspired from Cantonese and Cze Chuan, while their Thai cuisines are inspired from the southern part of Thailand.

At Over Rice, we have the choice of having an Over Rice, Over Noodle, or Ala Carte serving when we order our food. My hubby and I decided to take individual order since we were craving for different menus at that time.

For appetizer, we ordered Tahu Goreng Ala Thai / Deep Fried Tofu Thai Style (15,8k). To be honest, from all of the food we ordered, this cuisine is the one we liked the most. Smooth fried tofu coated with crispy batter served with XO sauce, thumbs up.

The Plus-ses of Having a Daughter

By posting this, I didn’t mean that I like my daughter more than I like my son. Son or daughter…both are a gift from God and should be treated as such. Besides lots and lots of shopping options, ranging from pretty dresses, cute legging/jegging, adorable shoes, make up, accessories, etc, the thing I love of having a daughter (besides shopping together ofkors) is that you can go to the beauty salon and do your treatment there together. Since my 3 years old daughter now has become more aware of her surroundings, and pretty much know the routine of wearing makeup (too much seeing her mom dress up), I’ve decided to take her along to the beauty salon on Christmas day. Usually hubby was the one who always accompanied me each time I went to the beauty salon to do my treatment.

As usual, I chose my routine treatment which are hair spa creambath, manicure, pedicure, and eyebrow shaping. As for Tisya, I chose her to do strawberry creambath. At first, Tisya looks a bit reluctant but didn’t refuse when the hair stylist (kapster) started to massage her head with creambath cream. She quite enjoy it actually Yeaayyyy……this is what I called girl to girl bonding….hihihi….Btw, she decided to do her nails as well….

Vietopia

Two weeks ago I had a lunch date with some of my girlfriends at a Vietnamese restaurant called Vietopia – Cikini. The looks of the restaurant from the outside can be somewhat deceiving. If you don’t look carefully, you would probably missed the place since they don’t have a big signage in front of their restaurant. As we stepped into the restaurant, instantly we felt the cozy and relaxing atmosphere. The restaurant was nicely designed with minimalist concept and was dominated with white color. The architecture looks kinda old but reminds us back to French Colonial era.

Happy 30th Bday Pap

Desember bener-bener jadi bulan kejayaannya si Papap. Setelah sukses ngerayain anniversary 3 hari lalu, berlanjut ke ultahnya si Pap ndut. Ultah yang kali ini cukup berkesan karena menandakan masuknya si papap ke era umur 30s (hohohohoho), errr….early 30s lah ya. Masih muda dan ganteng kok Pap ;p

Ultahnya Papap tuh pas Christmas eve alias 24 Desember, walhasil bikin rempong bininya pas beli kue ultahnya jadi desek2an ama yang beli kue buat Natalan decchhh. Ya tapi seru lah ya, berasa perjuangan, hahahaha, lebay. Kado udah disiapin dari 3 minggu lalu, pas moment-nya dengan musim diskon, high quality stuff with almost half price, mantaaabs. Niat hati sih mau ngucapin selamat pas tepat midnite, apa daya….sang istripun ketiduran menjelang jam 22.30, zzzzzzzzzzzzzz……… 0___________0 Ya wes lah, yang ultah juga sibuk bobo pun, kita ucapin pagi2 aja yaaa…… *ngeles*

Sopra Ristorante Italiano

Yesterday, hubby and I were celebrating our 4^th anniversary (yeaayyy). We usually celebrate our anniversary just by having dinner and watch a movie at Cineplex. But for this year, we weren’t in the mood to watch a movie so we decided to skip it.

We have planned to have dinner at Sopra. Sopra is an Italian restaurant that serves Italian cuisine ranging from pasta, risotto, various kind of thin crust pizza, and some meat-seafood entrees.  Sopra restaurant located at Pacific Place 1^st level. The restaurant is quite spacious and nicely decorated in dark wood color and some rough bricks interior for the wall. The ambiance creates a high scale fine dining atmosphere.

A message for my husband, my soul mate, my best friend

Dear hubby,
Time has passed in our lives, the seconds continue to wandered
We’ve experienced a lot of things together

I paused and think all of the memories that we have made
The good and the bad times we have shared
The love between us continue to grow

You are not only my husband, you’re my best friend and my soul mate
For me, you are a blessing from above, my blessing…
One that I do not want to take for granted

And today …
We’ve been together for four wonderful years
Through every joy and sorrow … raising hope, achieving goals

For in you I have found an ally
In you I have a protector, in your arms is the safest place I can be
In you I have a friend – an honest, caring, loving, and faithful friend
Someone whom I can trust, be myself with and someone in whom I can depend
In you I have a lover who with every touch makes my body shiver, and with every kiss brings my knees to shake and quiver

My husband
Thank you for everything
For the time that you’ve giving me

For your patience when confronting me
For the shoulders that are always ready whenever needed
For the hands that always outstretched in helping me
For the eyes that always looking out after me
And the words that always comfort me whenever I’m in a such gloomy mood

I thank you for all the things that you have done for me and the kids
Not only you’re a wonderful husband, you’re also a terrific father, provider, and caregiver
It’s your abundant love that keeps me sane
Your smile reassures me that everything will always be alright
Your arms embrace me and at that moment there is no place I’d rather be

I’m sorry …
Who seems to always troubled you
Who always complain and easily despair

Forgive…
All the tears that I may have caused you
The mouth that always demanding and complaining
For all of my fault which can make you angry and dissapointed

And I promise …
As I said 4 years ago
I will love and honor you
Both in good times and in bad , in sickness and in health
For richer for poorer
Forever …

I love you Pap … more than words, more than life. You have made me a better person by loving me for who I am. I’m forever grateful for your love and proud to be your wife.

Happy 4^th Anniversary pap…

And just like Bruno Mars said, ”…you’re amazing just the way you are..”

forever love

our two bundles of joy

RM Pagi Sore

Rumah Makan Pagi Sore adalah rumah makan yang menyajikan masakan khas Minang dengan nuansa Palembang. Di kota Palembang sendiri, RM Pagi Sore sudah mempunyai hampir 13 cabang. Saya dan hubby berkesempatan menyambangi RM Pagi Sore cabang Cipete, di tengah kemacetan Jakarta dan perut yang kian terasa kerucukan, tanpa ragu akhirnya mobil pun membelokkan setirnya dengan mantap ke restoran itu.

Menu spesial yang ditawarkan RM Pagi Sore beraneka ragam seperti ayam pop, ayam opor, gulai ayam, daun ubi tumbuk, dendeng batokok, tahu udang, gulai tunjang, gulai ikan mas, ikan mas bakar, ikan bilis cabe merah, sampai tempe mendoan juga ada. Ga berlebihan jika saya bilang kalau ayam pop-nya (14k) Pagi Sore juara banget. Dibuat dari ayam kampung pilihan, gurih dan lembut dagingnya, dicocol dengan sambal cabe tomat, makkkk nyeeeeeessss. Daun ubi tumbuknya (10k) juga enak, rasa gulainya yang gurih terasa segar dipadukan dengan potongan mentimun segar. Seperti biasa, makanan dolanannya hubby di setiap restoran, ada di RM ini (makanya dia seneng makan disini). Emang apa makanan dolanannya si Papap? Tidak lain tidak bukan adalah telur dadar (6k), tempe mendoan (4k),  tahu udang goreng (7k), dan bumbu rendang (graatiiisss). Hahahahaha….standar abis yaa….tapi hubby emang doyannya makan itu, katanya aja orang Padang tapi soal selera bukan Padang bangeeetttt, hihihihihi. Tapi dia juga makan gulai ayam (13k) kok…nasi putih anget (6k) yang masih mengepul disiram dengan bumbu gulai gurih, mak nyoooossssss *ngileeer*.

Nasi di piringku sudah habis tapi mata ga bisa nahan kalo ga nyobain gulai tunjang (13k) yang seperti memanggil-manggil untuk dimakan *mulai lebaay*. It’s just like love at first bite….tunjangnya dimasak dengan sempurna, empuk bangeett, acung jempol deh. Dendeng batokok dan ikan bilis cabe merah kayaknya layak untuk dicoba, sayang perut kita waktu itu sudah ga muat lagi. Sebagai pencuci mulut, disediakan srikaya khas Palembang.
