I just lost my dearest Blackberry phone.
I still cant believe it. It's not that I cant live without that.
I used to be that way, but now Im sure I can. v v sure.
It's just that the moment that he stole my phone still keep playing itself inside my head like some sort of short movie.
My friend told me to let it go.
Yes, I can. It's not about the phone per se, nor the money.
As a matter of fact, my dad already asked me whether I want a new one.
But I still cant think of having another BB.
Call me mellow, call me melancholic, but I am.
It's about the memories inside.
Too many photos, and blog drafts, and other unimportant details.
No important details such as my bank account or whatever.
Too many memories I've had together with the phone.
It had been my friend since last year. It has reconnect me with friends.
It had helped me tons.
I already miss it...T.T
And there are too many ifs.
If I didnt go to city
If I went back up and took my cardigan
If I didnt check fb
If I went out from my friend's place earlier
If only I werent such an fb-whore
If...
If....
If.....
If......
If.......
If.........
See??
Way too many..
And my mom doesnt seem to care at all.
When I told my dad, his response was "So what now?? just let it go. I'll buy you a new one"
When I told my mom, her response was, "Dont forget to block your pin, and report it to BB show room. are you ok?"
My mom supposedly able to do more of sweet-talking than my dad.
So I told her, "physically Im ok, but mentally Im still shocked, regretful and so on so on"
Her response to that was, "Yeah, but dont forget to block your pin"
Is that all you can say mom???
Even dad is able to do more sweet-talking.
Anw, bye my dearest Blackberry
Hope you find a good new user that take care of you carefully.
You've been a good friend of mine.
You were the only one who was there when I was so down during all this semester.
Miss you heaps.

Papa dan Putri Kecilnya
Biasanya, bagi seorang anak perempuan yang sudah dewasa, yang sedang bekerja diperantauan, yang ikut suaminya merantau di luar kota atau luar negeri, yang sedang bersekolah atau kuliah jauh dari kedua orang tuanya.....
Akan sering merasa kangen sekali dengan Mamanya.
Lalu bagaimana dengan Papa?
Mungkin karena Mama lebih sering menelepon untuk menanyakan keadaanmu setiap hari,
tapi tahukah kamu, jika ternyata Papa-lah yang mengingatkan Mama untuk menelponmu?
Mungkin dulu sewaktu kamu kecil, Mama-lah yang lebih sering mengajakmu bercerita atau berdongeng,
tapi tahukah kamu, bahwa sepulang Papa bekerja dan dengan wajah lelah Papa selalu menanyakan pada Mama tentang kabarmu dan apa yang kau lakukan seharian?
Pada saat dirimu masih seorang anak perempuan kecil......
Papa biasanya mengajari putri kecilnya naik sepeda.
Dan setelah Papa mengganggapmu bisa, Papa akan melepaskan roda bantu di sepedamu...
Kemudian Mama bilang : "Jangan dulu Papa, jangan dilepas dulu roda bantunya" ,
Mama takut putri manisnya terjatuh lalu terluka....
Tapi sadarkah kamu?
Bahwa Papa dengan yakin akan membiarkanmu, menatapmu, dan menjagamu mengayuh sepeda dengan seksama karena dia tahu putri kecilnya PASTI BISA.
Pada saat kamu menangis merengek meminta boneka atau mainan yang baru, Mama menatapmu iba.
Tetapi Papa akan mengatakan dengan tegas : "Boleh, kita beli nanti, tapi tidak sekarang"
Tahukah kamu, Papa melakukan itu karena Papa tidak ingin kamu menjadi anak yang manja dengan semua tuntutan yang selalu dapat dipenuhi?
Saat kamu sakit pilek, Papa yang terlalu khawatir sampai kadang sedikit membentak dengan berkata :
"Sudah di bilang! kamu jangan minum air dingin!".
Berbeda dengan Mama yang memperhatikan dan menasihatimu dengan lembut.
Ketahuilah, saat itu Papa benar-benar mengkhawatirkan keadaanmu.
Ketika kamu sudah beranjak remaja....
Kamu mulai menuntut pada Papa untuk dapat izin keluar malam, dan Papa bersikap tegas dan mengatakan: "Tidak boleh!".
Tahukah kamu, bahwa Papa melakukan itu untuk menjagamu?
Karena bagi Papa, kamu adalah sesuatu yang sangat - sangat luar biasa berharga..
Setelah itu kamu marah pada Papa, dan masuk ke kamar sambil membanting pintu...
Dan yang datang mengetok pintu dan membujukmu agar tidak marah adalah Mama....
Tahukah kamu, bahwa saat itu Papa memejamkan matanya dan menahan gejolak dalam batinnya,
Bahwa Papa sangat ingin mengikuti keinginanmu, Tapi lagi-lagi dia HARUS menjagamu?
Ketika saat seorang cowok mulai sering menelponmu, atau bahkan datang ke rumah untuk menemuimu, Papa akan memasang wajah paling cool sedunia.... :')
Papa sesekali menguping atau mengintip saat kamu sedang ngobrol berdua di ruang tamu..
Sadarkah kamu, kalau hati Papa merasa cemburu?
Saat kamu mulai lebih dipercaya, dan Papa melonggarkan sedikit peraturan untuk keluar rumah untukmu, kamu akan memaksa untuk melanggar jam malamnya.
Maka yang dilakukan Papa adalah duduk di ruang tamu, dan menunggumu pulang dengan hati yang sangat khawatir...
Dan setelah perasaan khawatir itu berlarut - larut...
Ketika melihat putri kecilnya pulang larut malam hati Papa akan mengeras dan Papa memarahimu.. .
Sadarkah kamu, bahwa ini karena hal yang di sangat ditakuti Papa akan segera datang?
"Bahwa putri kecilnya akan segera pergi meninggalkan Papa"
Setelah lulus SMA, Papa akan sedikit memaksamu untuk menjadi seorang Dokter atau Insinyur.
Ketahuilah, bahwa seluruh paksaan yang dilakukan Papa itu semata - mata hanya karena memikirkan masa depanmu nanti...
Tapi toh Papa tetap tersenyum dan mendukungmu saat pilihanmu tidak sesuai dengan keinginan Papa
Ketika kamu menjadi gadis dewasa...
Dan kamu harus pergi kuliah dikota lain...
Papa harus melepasmu di bandara.
Tahukah kamu bahwa badan Papa terasa kaku untuk memelukmu?
Papa hanya tersenyum sambil memberi nasehat ini - itu, dan menyuruhmu untuk berhati-hati. .
Padahal Papa ingin sekali menangis seperti Mama dan memelukmu erat-erat.
Yang Papa lakukan hanya menghapus sedikit air mata di sudut matanya, dan menepuk pundakmu berkata "Jaga dirimu baik-baik ya sayang".
Papa melakukan itu semua agar kamu KUAT...kuat untuk pergi dan menjadi dewasa.
Disaat kamu butuh uang untuk membiayai uang semester dan kehidupanmu, orang pertama yang mengerutkan kening adalah Papa.
Papa pasti berusaha keras mencari jalan agar anaknya bisa merasa sama dengan teman-temannya yang lain
Ketika permintaanmu bukan lagi sekedar meminta boneka baru, dan Papa tahu ia tidak bisa memberikan yang kamu inginkan...
Kata-kata yang keluar dari mulut Papa adalah : "Tidak.... Tidak bisa!"
Padahal dalam batin Papa, Ia sangat ingin mengatakan "Iya sayang, nanti Papa belikan untukmu".
Tahukah kamu bahwa pada saat itu Papa merasa gagal membuat anaknya tersenyum?
Saatnya kamu diwisuda sebagai seorang sarjana.
Papa adalah orang pertama yang berdiri dan memberi tepuk tangan untukmu.
Papa akan tersenyum dengan bangga dan puas melihat "putri kecilnya yang tidak manja berhasil tumbuh dewasa, dan telah menjadi seseorang"
Sampai saat seorang teman Lelakimu datang ke rumah dan meminta izin pada Papa untuk mengambilmu darinya.
Papa akan sangat berhati-hati memberikan izin..
Karena Papa tahu.....
Bahwa lelaki itulah yang akan menggantikan posisinya nanti.
Dan akhirnya....
Saat Papa melihatmu duduk di Panggung Pelaminan bersama seseorang Lelaki yang di anggapnya pantas menggantikannya, Papa pun tersenyum bahagia....
Apakah kamu mengetahui, di hari yang bahagia itu Papa pergi kebelakang panggung sebentar, dan menangis?
Papa menangis karena papa sangat berbahagia, kemudian Papa berdoa....
Dalam lirih doanya kepada Tuhan, Papa berkata: "Ya Allah tugasku telah selesai dengan baik...
Putri kecilku yang lucu dan kucintai telah menjadi wanita yang cantik....
Bahagiakanlah ia bersama suaminya..."
Setelah itu Papa hanya bisa menunggu kedatanganmu bersama cucu-cucunya yang sesekali datang untuk menjenguk...
Dengan rambut yang telah dan semakin memutih...
Dan badan serta lengan yang tak lagi kuat untuk menjagamu dari bahaya....
Papa telah menyelesaikan tugasnya....
Papa, Ayah, Bapak, atau Abah kita...
Adalah sosok yang harus selalu terlihat kuat...
Bahkan ketika dia tidak kuat untuk tidak menangis...
Dia harus terlihat tegas bahkan saat dia ingin memanjakanmu. .
Dan dia adalah yang orang pertama yang selalu yakin bahwa "KAMU BISA" dalam segala hal..
Akan sering merasa kangen sekali dengan Mamanya.
Lalu bagaimana dengan Papa?
Mungkin karena Mama lebih sering menelepon untuk menanyakan keadaanmu setiap hari,
tapi tahukah kamu, jika ternyata Papa-lah yang mengingatkan Mama untuk menelponmu?

Saat cinta mengenal salah
Kata orang cinta itu indah, tapi buta.
Sampai ada yang bilang kalo sudah cinta, tai kucing rasa coklat.
Ada cinta yang berjalan smoothly di jalanan yang berbatu.
Ada cinta yang menemui terlalu banyak hambatan di jalanan yang beraspal.
Saat kekuatan cinta diuji, saat waktu mengejar jawaban cinta.
Saat cinta bukan lagi urusan 2 insan.
Saat integritas cinta mulai dipertanyakan.
Terlebih lagi eksistensi dan kontinuitas nya.
Itulah saat cinta mengenal salah.
Cinta itu indah,
tapi saat indahnya cinta tidak lagi memberi ruang untuk bernafas tapi malah menghimpit dan bikin sesak nafas.
Hingga akhirnya yang bisa keluar hanyalah hembusan nafas penuh lelah dan seember air mata.
Tak ada lagi kata gombal dan rayu yang indah.
Saat itulah cinta mengenal salah.
Salahkah cinta?
bila harus tumbuh di tanah yang harus digemburkan berkali-kali sebelum akhirnya dia bisa tumbuh subur dan berkembang.
Salahkah?
For a friend who is fighting hard for just a sip of happiness,
and a taste of love..
Fight hard, dear!
and fight well..=)

The one with her fave author
So,
I have this favourite author of mine. Her name is Clara Ng.
And yes yes yes, she is Indonesian, and a BIG YES she is talented.
She has written quite many worth-reading, worth-buying, worth-rereading books such as Indiana Chronicles *and this blog is named after my fave male char*, Dimsum terakhir (The last Dimsum, rd), Tiga Venus (Three venus(es), rd), and so on.
The only thing that disturbs me is that every single one of her novel that I have read, except Utukki - Sayap Dewa (Utukki - the gods wings), I can find their counterparts.
The obvious one and the one that all chicklit lovers have been talking about is Indiana Chronicles. The story of Indiana was very much like Shopaholic. I know Clara Ng was not plagiarist for the story line was not the same but the idea, the main character's (Indiana, rd) features was very much same except that Indiana was not a shopaholic.
Dimsum Terakhir is very much similar to Danielle Steel's novel. I forgot the title, but Im very very sure it's DS' novel. Both have the story of three sisters who were separated by their own characteristics. They didnt hate each other, they just didnt love each other affectionately. One day, an event happened that unite them together and let them gone through things that strengthen the bond between them. Of course *again* Clara Ng didnt plagiarise for Dimsum Terakhir take the Chinese-Indonesian background while DS *ohhh how i love DS* is westerners.
Next one is the Unreality Show, it was similar to Sidney Sheldon's novel. They both were about someone who has multiple personality disorder and have -interestingly- as much as 8-10 alter egos *scary, eh?*
Of course *again and again* the story arent the same for SS' one is very much detective alike and CN's one is more to comedy.
The most shocking one, because this one I havent even read the counterpart and I just found out only recently, is the Tiga Venus.
The story of Tiga Venus is very unique. It is unreal, because the story was about three very very different women whose souls are just swapped with each others', but very very interesting and CN just wrote it beautifully.
The story also carries a good moral, in a sense that you have to satisfy yourself with what you have because what you see good in others might not do good to you.
I was just browsing on Tullamarine airport's bookstore one day, when my eye caught one of Jane Green's boooks. She is also one of my favourite authors especially for her "Second Chance" *four thumbs up yaaaaayyyy..!!*
The title was read something like life swapping or swapping life or swapped life *too many choices already..haha* or something like that. I was like, "hhhmm...this is interestingg.." as I was just finished my Tiga Venus book.
So, I read the synopsis, and I was soooooo so so so so soooo shocked that I told my housemate straight away. It was the very same idea with Tiga Venus.
On one of her books, Clara Ng declared something like "I dont care if people called me plagiarist, I just am not."
well, she might be she might not be.
I would very much like to met her one day..just to have a chat with her.
That would be interesting, ya reckon???hahaha;p
Anyway,
plagiarist or not, she is one talented author and I just really really enjoy reading her novels.
*except Utukki..sorry Clara Ng..that one was done miserably.=(*
Maybe if one day she can write her own novel from her own inspiration *something like genuinely genuine Clara Ng*, I would like to read that book very much.
until that time arrives, I will just read whatever idea she just took from others and make it into her own novels.
Plagiarism or not..haha.

Under melbourne sky
Sun+day=sunday
A sunny sunday....
I am tanned. It was so hot that my Fredo gelato melted in just few minutes..
I waste few drops of my roche gelato..hahaha.
But that didnt stop us to eat Thai food still. Ying Thai + Fredo = Heaven under melbourne sky.haha.
Saturday night I stayed over at my friend's place just because we, two crazy girls, suddenly decided to watch Christmas Carol.
That was a good cartoon movie except that the "three spirits" was horror!!
even for us. So, definitely that wasnt for children consumption.
Anyway, I am listening to "under adelaide sky"
A good song by Adhitya Sofyan.
I guess, by his name, he is an Indonesian.
His pronounciation was good though.
This song has successfully made me all mellow.
I am having my last two exam papers on 13th and 16th.
After that, I will be an official unemployed fresh graduate.
What am I gonna do next?
Moving to Sydney?
Moving to Singapore?
My parents expect me to stay here in Australia.
However, seeing the fact that no Permanent Residency application are to be processed in the next 2 years, I am now not all convinced that I still want to stay here in Aust.
I want so much to move to Singapore.
I want to live the life I have been dreaming of as a professional.
I cant picture myself living here in Melbourne forever.
I want to settle down in Singapore..
But I cant help with the fact that I am asian, Chinese with Indonesian background where it is the culture that a child's life is parents' dream..>.<
What will become of me?Idk.
but this much I know, I am not yet ready to leave all things that I have here.
At least not now=)

with God
What would you do if you fell for a person that you know would never fall for you?
What would you do if you wanted a thing that you can never have?
What would you do if you felt like already having what you want but suddenly it was taken away in a blink of eye?
One thing I know.
I will try so hard.....
To just hanging on.
To walk with head straight up.
To walk with poise.
With God;)

The one with the thank you and conventional way of thinking
Such a simple phrase "thank you"
As technology is evolving, people grew apart.
Such simple phrase such as "Im sorry", "thank you", "Please" are all pretty much forgotten.
Young parents nowadays are more concerned with what their children are wearing, what extracurricular courses their children are enrolled in so that they will rank better in their class.
Children nowadays are more like parents' trophies.
They often forgot to remind their kids to say thank you even to a maid or a driver working for their family.
Quite so many times I watch kids said something like this to their maid, "pick my socks and put my shoes back in the shoe rack!" and they forgot one simple word "PLEASE" or simply "THANK YOU"
Even my 7yo cousin did that. I was shocked.
This afternoon, as I was catching my breath after swam 4 laps, I noticed a boy around 2 yo playing with his dad.
His dad pretty much look like Jesus in one of Kevjumba's videos "Scaring Jesus". Try to find it on youtube. That video made me laughed so hard;p
Anyway, back to topic, after a while I realize that that boy has an older brother around 4-5 yo joining the swimming course that was still in progress that time.
Few minutes later, I saw the class had been dismissed and he ran to join his little brother and father instantenously *such a nice family they have there;)*
Suddenly I saw this boy *goshh he was sooooo cute..way too cute..If I could, I would ran into him just to pinch his cheek once. the temptation was so big though..LOL* ran back to his swimming teacher and shyly spoke "thank you" *aaww..that was way too cute..I cant help smiling*
When he realised his teacher did not hear, he pulled his teacher's hand and said again "thank you" and maybe because he was too shy, he ran back to his father instantaneously.
The father smiled to the teacher and then petted his head and said to the boy, "good boy" and the father smiled so proudly.
I cant help smiling seeing this happy little family interacting with each other.
Clearly also that the little brother adore his older brother so much.
Another story happened another day, I was going out with two of my friends, a guy and a girl, to watch a movie.
Quite a scary movie that was and my girl friend was so afraid..LOL;p
Finally me and the guy decided to accompany this girl for some times until she calmed down.
So, as we were already in front of the girl's apartment, I suggested that we might as well just go in and have a chat inside.
Then I was shocked when my friend said, "you know im a guy, right?I dont think it is a good idea to have a chat inside. I think we just find some 24 hrs maccas around here."
Maybe my pride didnt allow me to show that I, at that very second, became very respectful towards him.
Such a guy still exist.
That conventional kind of courtesy still exist.
Now, that's amazing, isnt that??;)
Not many people still do that.
Also this does not mean that those who does not do that are actually uneducated or something.
Or maybe I just have too much guy friends that tease me so much that they forgot how to behave in front of me, I honestly dont know..hahaha~~
It is just this few people opened my mind that such words, such a set of thinking are just too beautiful to let them extinct.

Suddenly I saw this boy *goshh he was sooooo cute..way too cute..If I could, I would ran into him just to pinch his cheek once. the temptation was so big though..LOL* ran back to his swimming teacher and shyly spoke "thank you" *aaww..that was way too cute..I cant help smiling*
When he realised his teacher did not hear, he pulled his teacher's hand and said again "thank you" and maybe because he was too shy, he ran back to his father instantaneously.
The father smiled to the teacher and then petted his head and said to the boy, "good boy" and the father smiled so proudly.
I cant help smiling seeing this happy little family interacting with each other.
Clearly also that the little brother adore his older brother so much.
Another story happened another day, I was going out with two of my friends, a guy and a girl, to watch a movie.
Quite a scary movie that was and my girl friend was so afraid..LOL;p
Finally me and the guy decided to accompany this girl for some times until she calmed down.
So, as we were already in front of the girl's apartment, I suggested that we might as well just go in and have a chat inside.
Then I was shocked when my friend said, "you know im a guy, right?I dont think it is a good idea to have a chat inside. I think we just find some 24 hrs maccas around here."
Maybe my pride didnt allow me to show that I, at that very second, became very respectful towards him.
Such a guy still exist.
That conventional kind of courtesy still exist.
Now, that's amazing, isnt that??;)
Not many people still do that.
Also this does not mean that those who does not do that are actually uneducated or something.
Or maybe I just have too much guy friends that tease me so much that they forgot how to behave in front of me, I honestly dont know..hahaha~~
It is just this few people opened my mind that such words, such a set of thinking are just too beautiful to let them extinct.
