-a dainty hokey pokey-

Greeting from Nanjing! -since I'm posting this from Nanjing- Just borrowed my sister's laptop on my visit to Nanjing..Got this 4days off from Bali Bistro since last week was a hectic week for us, I decided to go visiting my sister and also to help my mom extending her visa to stay longer in China. 

Hm, it looks like I don't really have any topic to share, rather than what I post on my other blog, you can check it on here. 

anyway, life is hard..but you just need to adjust your sail.. :)

Could you guys see it clearly? It's quite a coincidence that I have this wine cap written my special number on the top of it.. It's Italian San Marino D'Abruzzo, 19187 I had with Adi, Silva, and Christina..The night before Christina went back to Korea... Spent only a bottle, we had a bit damage on our brain, since the party for Gold Cider took place an hour before..a bit too much alcohol contains in the blood vessel..eh?

Adi came out later alone, since we tried to call Lisa to know that she was sleeping..and of course at that time her mother was in Shanghai..  

Anyway, the wine is good..and I should have kept the cap for my lucky number..19187, it's my birthday, isnt it?

it's quite interesting to know how communication between two person with different background, different culture, different language, could lead in a misunderstanding situation.. how funny to realize how childish we are, bringing the ego of ourselves in our point of view..without regardless try to put our feet in their shoes.. 

hei, we still have a long to go, don't we? through difficulties, the bond will become unbreakable.. every moment that spent together shall be priceless..

and above all, the words misunderstood will be slowly turn into an understandable solution and matters. 

cheers, my miss understood!

hello! Greeting from Shanghai! :)

Do you believe in failure? What is failure if you enjoyed the whole process?? 

Therefore, I don't really call it failure, let's just call it a lesson.. :)

anyway, I like this Adele-Rolling in the Deep song, performed by Boyce Avenue.. Enjoy!

The Scars of your love remind of us

They keep me thinking that we almost had it all 

The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling 

We could have had it all 

Rolling in the deep

You have my hear inside of your hand 

But you played it to the beat

-Adele-

Greeting from Shanghai! -which had just experienced snow for an hour today-

Recently, I was very busy with Bali Bistro and found that I had a little time to share my life a bit, so I just share it..=) Up until now, I'm reading a good book by Jack Canfield, titled The Success Principles.. It's been fascinating from the first chapter that I learned quickly afterwards.. It is a formula, the very basic one.. I remember Bill Gates once quote this "If you were born poor, that is not your mistake. But if you die poor, that is". The formula which I learned more about, is this equation : 

The basic idea is that, everything happens in your life, happiness, sadness, success, failure, or whatever, is the result of how you response to your previous things in your life. This is quite a good guidance for me, in order to survive in my workplace now. There are a lot of factor that put me in frustration, pressure, and whatsoever, but I think I will just change the way I respond it, change the way of think, change how I communicate, to bring the outcome I'd like to have. 

Anyway, I'm now preparing for the next Valentine Promo here, so I hope everything turns out well. Shanghai is cold, as always during the winter time..but Europe is much colder than here..Wishing they could survive the cold there..

Natal 2011-Tahun baru 2012

Natal dan tahun baru kemarin ini saya merayakan bersama keluarga di GKI Tm.Majapahit, kebetulan Gaby Geboy, adik saya ini, mementaskan drama musikal berjudul Inn Keeper bersama teman-temannya. Berjumpa dengan wajah-wajah yang familiar memang menyenangkan. Serasa menjadi bintang film dadakan juga karena banyak orang menanyakan bermacam2 hal... Well yang paling penting ya bisa natalan bareng mami papi n Geboy, setelah sekian tahun.. #lebay

Tanggal 30 dan 31nya, kami ber4 memutuskan untuk berlibur ke Jogja, karena disamping tidak begitu jauh untuk tour yang tidak direncanakan, kebetulan keluarga Om Aris dari Singapore pas ada di Jogja juga, jadi sekalian bersilaturahmi dengan keluarga Om Aris.. 

Sepulangnya dari Jogja, kami langsung menuju ke Gardenia untuk merayakan tahun baru bersama keluarga Om Dede dan Miss Lusy, sayangnya lil ken ud tidur.... Anyway, it was fun to have gather like this... 

Last but not least was, my 25th Birthday

YEp! Ulang tahun saya yang ke 25 kali ini dapat saya rayakan di Indonesia, bersama keluarga..setelah kurang lebih, 4tahun juga saya tidak merayakan bersama mereka.. kalau dipikir2, memasuki usia ke 25 ini artinya sudah 24tahun saya berada di bumi ini.. resolusi apa kira2 yang saya miliki ya?? ah, saya simpan saja jawabannya untuk saya sendiri..dan sayalah juga yang akhirnya dapat membuktikan kepada diri saya sendiri... =) 

and when the parties and fun are all over, it's time for me to move again.. Only God know what lies in front of my journey.. and with the support of my family and my friends, I believe it won't be an impossible task to do..coz God makes the impossible possible..

An old Italian gentleman lived alone in New Jersey. He wanted to plan his annual tomato garden, but it was difficult work, as the ground was hard. His only son, Vincent, who used to helped him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament : 

Dear Vincent, I'm feeling pretty sad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here my troubles would be over. I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days. Love, Papa. 

A few days later he received a letter from his son.

Dear Papa, don't dig up that garden. That's where the bodies are buried. Love, Vinnie. 

At 4a.m the next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left. That same day, the old man received another letter from his son.

Dear Papa, go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That's the best I could do under the circumstances. Love you, Vinnie.
