March was definitely a super busy month that took its toll on me but even in the midst of this busy schedule, there was always time for a little gathering and party. We were having a small dinner for our cell group at our place and guess what, rendang was on the menu baby! Our dearest cici prepared the dish and it was superb.

Celebrating hubby's friend's birthday at Ippudou.
.: July 29, 2012. Sunday :.
Gosh, time really flies like an arrow. It's been almost six years since the last time I met my boarding house mates, which was a year after I graduated and about to embark to a whole new world. And yet it feels like only yesterday haha. I miss my college time and staying in boarding house really helped me a lot in adapting to a new environment back then. So, I was really happy to meet them again even for a short while.
.: February 3, 2012. Friday :.
This week's Friday we had a cell group + dinner in our place. I prepared a very simple dishes, mpek-mpek, otak-otak, sushi roll, inari zushi and chicken wings. On top of that, our friends brought some side dishes and a huge blackforest cake. What a feast it was when I thought we only had a simple dinner :) We were celebrating our two cell group friends' birthday as well. Lovely night.

I was so excited to be back in Jakarta again. This time it was for a friend's wedding. We arrived on saturday, my mum and bro picked us up at the airport and we went to Bekasi straight away to inspect our new house. From there, we drove to Plaza Indonesia, since it is the closest mall to our hotel, to meet my friends Tika and Rosa. I discovered huge news, soo happy for my girl, way to go Tik, hihi.
Sadly, time didn't allow us to share many more gossips, my mum's close friend already booked us to have dinner together. Aahh the same restaurant we always went to whenever my mum visited me during my college years. After dinner, we even went to Binus, my bro wanted to sleep over at his friend's place near there. Seeing again the building where I stayed for over 3 years brought back old memories. I remember me and my "Golden Bowl" friends went out at midnight in search of a bowl of noodle and we had to literally make our way back through thunders and rain. In the middle of the night! I didn't know why I said yes to such an idea back then lol.
~ Our sinful yet super delicious dinner! ~
The drink is from a fruit called "Holland eggplant". I thought I heard my mum wrongly but yes, she said "terong belanda" with a face that said it wasn't a big deal at all haha. I asked her why would I want to drink an eggplant juice and my mum gave me her word that it was good, and It was indeed.

~ The wedding ~
Hihi it felt weird seeing my friend's getting married, particularly this friend of mine. He is a friend that has seen the lowest of my lowest states, seen my teary face and listened patiently to my incoherent blubbering. He did all those with his signature goofiness wakkkaka. So, I am super duper happy for him.
Singapore Art Festival, June 5, 2010
Uda lupa chronologist-nya gimana saking lamanya ga di-post hehe. Seingetku, kita ketemuan di Takashimaya buat lunch bareng di Korean resto, after that, off we went to Sing Art Fest. What a hot day! Kita nonton performing art dari France artists, seperti biasa, kalo nonton yg model2 contemporary art gitu suka ada perasaan uneasy feeling… mungkin karena temanya juga kali yah.
Marina Barrage, June 6, 2010
Klo yang ini bener2 mengecewakan, gw pikir Marina Barrage tuh keren abis tempatnya, eeeh ternyata ya cuman gitu, reservoir doank. Banyak orang yang maen layangan. Jd inget cerita Kite Runner :p
Marina at Keppel Bay, July 31, 2010
Nah ini pas si Mr. Rendy aka Unko dateng berkunjung ke Sg. Ceritanya hari sebelumnya gw diajak si boss ke Marina at Keppel Bay, tempatnya bagus, ada banyak yacht lagi nangkring. Yang gw seneng dr tempat ini tuh ada water-front cafe. Enak banget buat santai-santai, ngobrol, enjoy a cup of coffee, and of course I can see myself spending a hell lot of time reading a good book there. Jadi, besoknya gw ajak mereka kesitu buat having brunch hehe.
I had mushroom soup, yum Bf got himself … forgot the name :p
Pour Mon Amie,
Sampe sekarang, tetep rasanya terharu and so thankful klo inget dulu, how you supported me, cheered me up during the lowest point of my life. Masi inget nabe party kita di Machida dulu, at winter time? hehe. Tiba2 lu and temen2 yg lain dateng ke kamarku and masak2 haha. You really had no idea how much I thanked you for that.
Out of all, a memory that I cherish most, a memory that always, always brings warmth to my heart is that moment, that small party in the evening. Even though I felt like dying, having all my best friends around me back then comforted me. Meskipun apa yg gw alami dulu sama skali ga bisa dibandingin to what you are going through right now, I’d like to think the same way; that having your best friends with you during this difficult time of yours, to be there for you, can really help in some way or another.
So now, I want you to know, to believe that all your friends that love you are right beside you. And I soo believe in the power of prayer. So, even though I cannot arrange a nabe party for you when you come back *hehe*, at least I can send you a prayer from a far.
