The PiaNo

Wow, look at the time! It's almost 7pm already and I finally find the time to update my blog (talking like a very busy career woman :P) I came back to sleep again after dropping the kids to school this morning. I feel like I'm turning into a bear who loves to hibernate in the winter. I woke up at around 10am and found Sam was in a happy mood. I didn't expect that coz I had to wake him up at 5.30am this morning as there was a call for him from Semarang and he was pretty pissed off with that that guy whoever he was. I already feared for the worst. He tends to get really grumpy when he had to wake up in the middle of his sleep. Found out that he won soccer bet again and this Sunday I will be getting something for myself from him. Ria asked if it was Valentine's present but Sam's not romantic so I doubt it is but since Val's Day is approaching, I'll just make myself happy and assume that it is ^.^

At 12pm I left home and went to Gina's shop to collect the cupcakes I ordered from her for Fenny's birthday. She made the decorations as per my request : in baby blue n pink. Simple yet sweet looking.

Then went to BBS to fetch Casey. Like normal Thursday, we went to TA straight from there. Just before Casey's skating lesson, we had lunch in Nan Xiang Restaurant. Not putting up any pics since I ordered the food before except this time I also ordered Drunken Chicken. I'm not even sure why it has the name "Drunken" coz I can't taste any alcohol in the chicken =.=

When Casey was skating, I went down to Gramedia to look for some books. We went home after Casey was done coz I have to wait for the piano at home. Yup, the guys were going to send over the piano today. It wasn't till 4.30pm that it arrived. Casey was really pleased.

Yes, finally she can practice what she learnt from Wisma Relasi. In the late noon, we went to Taman Permata Buana Sports Club to give Fenny her bday present and the cuppies. Her older son, Kenneth, was having swimming lesson there so we chatted while waiting for Kenneth to finish up.

BTW, these are the 4 tops I bought yesterday:

I know these tops weren't exactly the kind of clothes that I would wear but I really like them and they fit snuggly on me. Casey helped me choose a couple but out of the many that she pointed out, I only chose 1 (3rd one). She really has weird taste when it comes to clothes.... just like her dad hahaha....

MeetinG Cn, Therry & SyL

I met Cn, Therry and Syl for the very 1st time today. And only one word to describe them : awesome! Hehehe... The last time I met up with new people I know thru cyber... hmm...that was sometime ago. I mean on and off during gatherings there are bound to be people I never meet before but usually it is with people I know so I'm not entirely clueless on how I should react coz if I don't feel comfortable with the new ones, I can still talk to other friends. This time, it felt like years ago when I went on my 1st gathering with IC members. Nervous and excited.

When I first arrived, Cn was already waiting outside Sushi Tei. Therry was the 1st to arrive actually but she went somewhere else. So Cn and I waited for Therry. She came with her boyfriend but he left after we said our 'hellos', saying he doesn't want to spoil the fun for us. They really look so sweet together. My 1st impression of Cn is she's the same as her pic and she's actually more gentle in reality. Oops...I hope that doesn't sound sarcastic coz I'm making a compliment here hahaha.... She's really sweet and she smiles a lot... I mean a LOT. So u can bet she's just as friendly as she sounds in her tags. Therry... I wasn't expecting she was that tall. I mean she looks petite in her pic but she proves me wrong today. She is really easy to talk to and also smiles a lot. In fact they all smile all the time! Cn has to be the most cheerful of us all coz her happiness is really infectious I tell u. As for Syl, she is the perfect figure of how u view a teacher should be. She's the quietest among us but still, she can crack u up with her jokes. And they are all awesome in their own different ways! I'm really glad we met up today coz I did have a blast. I want to do this again sometime. One thing they all have in common: love for dogs and they all own at least one *if I'm not mistaken coz Sushi Tei was damn crowded just now and they are all soft-spoken... so opposite of me!* Now it makes me wish to have a dog. Thanks for the good time, ladies ^.^ So nice to finally meet the writers behind those wonderful blogs I love to read. Kinda reminded me of what Han told me earlier today during our chat in YM. He said Therry's blog made mine look so plain. Hahaha... Yeah, don't u all start comparing mine to hers or to any of theirs after this please coz I do admit I have limited vocab inside me. While in mine u might find errors here and there, it's hard to do so even u try to look for the flaws in their blogs.

L-R: Therry, Me, Syl & Cn

Not to forget, these are the food I ate just now:

Photobucket
Yaki Udon

Photobucket
Hotate Miso Mayo

Hmm...can't remember the last one but it's like california roll with soft-shelled crab. My advice, don't order these 3 if u go there. The roll is okay and the Yaki Udon is still edible even though it's so not like the normal fried udon I ever tried. Even Casey wouldn't want to eat it! As for the scallop, expensive and too salty! Yucks... I never eaten scallops that taste that bad before. Well, now I have.

From Plaza Indonesia, the girls and I went to Grand Indonesia. Planned to watch "Alvin & The Chipmunks" at the Satin Lounge in Blitz Megaplex. It's Rp 20K cheaper than Premiere so I was curious enough to want to try it out. We bought the 4.30pm show and then went down to Kinokuniya. Kids bought their books and I bought mine. I bought a couple of books about photography. Even though I'm not planning to buy an SLR cam but I think I want to know more about it.

Wanted to look for school shoes for Casey but it was a long walk to Planet Sport (or whatever it is called) so we decided to look for it in Plaza Senayan instead right after the movie. while going back up to the cinema, I saw Forever 21 Boutique. Finally now I know what kind of clothings they have. All this time I only know that brand through Xiaxue's blog. Forever 21 supposed to have 2 floors to themselves but only the one at 1st floor is opened at the moment. Went inside to look around and was kinda surprised coming home with 2 jackets, 1 cardigan plus 3 blouses.

I deserve it!!! I've been deprived of shopping for so long! Then when we went up one floor, there was this Guess Kids Boutique. My FIL promised the girls they can buy clothes from there and he's paying so we did go inside to look around. I bought 1 identical dress as theirs.

Photobucket

Can only buy 1 coz my FIL will wonder why the bill adds up to that much if I kept buying the same stuffs as them. We did get vouchers and it all adds up to Rp 700K! Too bad can't use it to minus the bill. Can only use it on our next visit there.

We waited at the carpark for the driver since we got a lot of plastic bags on our hands. By the time we reached the cinema it was 16.25pm, 5 mins before the show starts. I was disappointed with the Satin Lounge. It's so not worth it even though it's cheaper than Premiere. Yes, u can straighten your legs up but that's about it. No blanket, and u can't push down the back of the chair like in Premiere. It's just like normal cinema except u watch it from the top part. Total waste of money.

Photobucket

Now about the movie, I just love it. I mean, who wouldn't want to see talking chipmunks in real life? I do!!!! Theodore is just so, so adorable. It's a "MUST BUY DVD" on my kids' list.... and mine too of course hehehe....

So right from Grand Indonesia, we went to Plaza Senayan. Finally found an Osh Kosh shoes for Casey. While on our way out, passed by Agatha and I bought this cute hair accessory :

Okay, time to hit the bed now. Dead tired and tomorrow we're going to the church. I don't want to go to 10.30am mass. It's just too late. I won't be able to catch my nephews in my dad's house if I arrive later than 12pm and I don't want that.

PasteL TutuP Super YummY

Didn't go to church yesterday coz we had no driver to take us there and Sam couldn't wake up in time. Left home at 10.30am to my dad's place. Kids wish him a 'Happy Birthday' and we waited while Afen went out to buy lunch for us. I'll be dropping over at my dad's in a couple of days to give him the birthday present. Just not sure what to buy coz he always complains if I buy something too expensive for him...well, he ALWAYS complains when I buy him anything Photobucket

We left there around 12.30pm. Went to Susan's house where everyone was already there waiting for us. We normally celebrate birthdays together...I mean all those whose birthdays fall on December. We didn't get to celebrate it on the 30th like the year before coz Susan was still in Bali then. Anyway, my MIL ordered "tumpeng" again from Hendrawan. I guess it's the best. We stayed there till 5pm before we went to Ranch Market to buy groceries and then back home.

This morning, I left home at 10am as I have to bring Cecil to see a dermatologist recommended by Selvy, Sam's cousin. It was a pretty long ride there as it was situated in Pangeran Jayakarta. Dr Budi told me that Cecil should stop eating prawns for the time being. That might be the cause of the rashes she's been frequently having. Come to think of it, it might be true as Cecil only starts to eat prawns recently. She's really so into them and can finish a plate of it all by herself. So, doctor's order was to her like being struck by a lightning on a hot sunny day. She kept saying "Geez...I wish u never talk to auntie Selvy yesterday." or "Oh man, why did auntie Selvy have to tell u about the doctor?" Grumbling that throughout the journey from Pangeran Jayakarta to Kebon Sirih. Very irritating, right? If it wasn't for my DS which keeps me accompanied, I would have stuffed her mouth with anything I can find.

We fetched Casey from Sam's office and then we went to Senayan City. Had lunch in Angus House. Kids order minute steak set menu which comes with these:

Photobucket
The Appetizer

Photobucket
The Salad

Photobucket
The Dessert

Trust me, they are only pretty to look at but not that nice to taste. The salad is okay coz they have these grated cheese on top of it. The creme brulee in the dessert is yummy too.

As for me, I ordered Grilled Lamb Chops :

Photobucket

It's okay....not the best one I ever had....just okay.

When we finished, I had to look around for a CDMA phone. I've been having problems with my Motorola phone for quite sometime and Sam told me to change it. Can't find anything I like there so ended up with nothing. When we were down at the 1st Floor, saw that Bebe is on sale. Went in but found nothing I like on sale. In the end bought this bling bling blouse. It looks so much better when not in the pic.

Photobucket

Went to Promod and Miss Selfridge coz they are on sale too but also nothing to my liking.

On my way to Puri Mal, I dropped by Alfa and that's where I finally got my new CDMA phone. It's not Nokia, not Motorola, or any of those famous brands. I bought Nexian this time. Who really cares what brand it is...it's PINK, that's all I care about! And it's not shocking pink but baby pink. Really sweet looking. Very thin (half the thickness of my K850 and N82) and a bit shorter than my K850. The display in colors too! I mean for that price with that color, it's worth it.

I only stayed awhile in Puri Mall. Just to buy rainbow sherbet ice cream from Baskin Robbins. Straight away went to Irene's house after that. Last night, Irene offered me if I want to buy Pastel Tutup made by her mom and I ordered 2 small ones from her. I wanted to give to my MIL the other one actually but Cecil reminded me to give Fenny something in return coz she kept sending food to us so I gave Fenny one. When I came home, I quickly tried the food and it's simply the best Pastel Tutup I ever eaten. Cross my heart!!! They are just soooooooooooooooo delicious!!! I ordered 2 more (bigger ones this time) for Wednesday. Gonna fatten myself up before joining FF. Hehehe....

Photobucket
YUMMY!!!

One more good news, I got a Rp 200K voucher from Metro when I came home. They probably sent the vouchers to whoever owns Metro Yours cards and claimed us all as their loyal customers. They sent mine really late and it's supposed to be a special gift to end 2007. Maybe I should make a complaint and hopefully I get another Rp 200K voucher hihihi...
