ARYA AND ARIEL: kisah dalam sepotong kaos

On new year’s eve, Mbak Dyah and Pierre gave Arya and Ariel a funny gift, a T-shirt with 2 holes for their heads, but only 2 holes for arms (1 for Arya’s right arm and the other one for Ariel’s left arm). Well, you should see the picture.. Hehe…

So, they wore the T-shirt during the countdown to 2008.. the T-shirt says: KITA INI BUKAN HANYA SEKEDAR SEHIDUP SEMATI, TAPI JUGA SEHIDUP SE-T-SHIRT.
Hahaha…
Happily ever after you love birds…

A LITTLE STORY ABOUT BAYU’S SUNATAN

My cousin, Bayu just being ‘sunat’ on 28 December 2007. He finally decided to do that after seeing the doctor who helped him with the whole process. It took only 20 minutes.

The next day, on Saturday, 29 Dec 2007 we all came to Bayu’s sunatan celebration at his home. We brought some money as a gift to him, so called ‘salam tempel’. He put the money into his piggy bank he just got from Mbak Dyah on Christmas. Every money inserted into that red piggy bank will sound ‘oink oink..’. Hehehe.. funny piggy bank.

We were surprised when Mbak Lia, one of my cousins, asked him to show his penis with the result of the ‘sunat’,, and Bayu, with no doubt showed it to her. It’s just simply because she has ‘paid’ him through the salam tempel. Hahaha…

Mbak Dyah and I didn’t want to miss that once in a lifetime opportunity.. we asked Bayu to show us that ‘thing’ too. Hehe…

But.. having seen ‘that’, we deliberately screamed… ‘yiieks… eeeuugh…’ Oooh, can’t describe it.. we rather not see it in the first place. Bayu laughed at us..

Well, Bayu, hope you’ll get better soon and grow much bigger and taller…I think that was one of his happy day.. not to mention that he got so much money from all of us.. also in different currencies.. hahaa…

A THOUGHT OF 2007

2007 was a year full of so many important things in my life..

It started in the beginning of the 2007, when Nini had the attack and passed away in January 2007. It was a big loss for all of us.. a person who has been a center of our lives, our godmother, our foundation of love..

But that’s life.. and this is the circle of life.. not much later than January, there was a happy news knowing that Intan is pregnant. Banu and Intan were expecting a baby. A new life was about to begin..

I also experience a moment when I had to make a very hard decision in my life. I just hoped that it was for a good cause, although I knew for sure that I had hurt someone I respect and love so much by taking that decision. I just kept asking God to guide me so that was the right thing to do.

By being on our own now, (without Nini at our side), we were more convinced to decide to move out to our new home at Bukit Nirvana. We didn’t have to worry anymore that we might leave Nini alone at Cilandak. We moved in to Bukit Nirvana in May 2007.

Few months later, in August, just about our 2nd wedding anniversary, my hubby and I got this wonderful news. The answer to our prayers… Doctor said that I am also pregnant. It was just like the most precious anniversary gift for us.
Dear God, thank you for all of these big steps in my life. I believe that everything happened for a reason. Hope 2008 will bring us more happiness, health, success, love and joy. Please keep us in Your guide always…

THE NEW YEAR'S EVE

Like last year, we gathered at Bintaro to celebrate new year…it was a year ago when Nini joined the new year eve 2007.. our last gathering with her before the attack.

This time we have more companies, the Olsons were also joining us, Rod, Anna and Ariel. Plus Arya of course,, and another new member in our family, the one-month-old Bana..

We started with BBQ from Ranch Market. Two ranch market’s staffs were there to help us with the barbeque. Fyuuh, so we don’t need to be around the smoky BBQ pan. Hehe..
We had meat, fish, shrimp and chicken. Well, I only ate the fish and chicken. Plus there were also angel hair, fish soup and others. Not to mentioned the snacks all around us. We didn’t stop eating while waiting for the midnight.

Happy New Year 2008…
The sound of the trumpets was all around the house…
Then we started the fireworks party at the backyard. It was great fun. Happy New Year everyone.. wishing all of you health, happiness, success, love, blessing and joy throughout the year and ahead…

… and we all went home at about 1.30 a.m.
