Project 365

Welcome! This is my own 365 project of creating at least one post per day about the stuff that I learnt, achieved, and found, the stuff that made me happy, or the new thing I did every single day.

The project was started on 21 February 2010. It has stopped for few times but I am determined to continue!

This project is dedicated to myself. I want to feel grateful for every single thing I have. I want to be thankful for my own life. I just want to feel that I have enough.

Salwar Kameez & Churidaar

I’m in looooooove with salwar kameez and churidaar!!! I don’t know why I suddenly like it so much. This isn’t the first time I see people wearing it. But maybe I just woke up…

I have to go to India one day just to buy these clothes and saree! Well, I can buy them everywhere actually hehehe 😛

A Guest

My friend, Elaine, came all the way from the States today. She’s going to stay at my place for two nights before traveling somewhere else. I’m SO glad to meet her again! I can’t believe it’s been 2 years since the last time we met and she promised me that she’ll be back one day to Europe again. She did 🙂

Previously she gave me a San Francisco cable car miniature and today she gave me a new cool pair of shoes! Hehehe. This isn’t my type of shoes, but it seems comfortable and it’s good for traveling! 😛 I’m so happy 🙂

A Present from Belitung

Belitung

A friend of mine sent me this picture of Belitung. She is enjoying her vacation over there at the moment. She sent this picture to cheer me up while doing my thesis in the winterland of the Netherlands. Hehehehe. Thank you, dear 🙂

It’s strange to say this, but I can’t wait to go back to Indonesia. To settle, that is. Now I know EXACTLY what I’m going to do!!! This excitement and the feeling of "know-what-to-do" override every other feeling, including my hesitation to settle there 🙂

Thank you all my dear friends… who have never failed to inspire me 🙂 YOU ROCK!

The Invitation

Wedding Invitation

Wedding Invitation Wedding Invitation

Surprise!!! I got the official wedding invitation today from Mayu 🙂 So very excited! The wedding is going to be in Gold Coast. Yay!!!

I feel bad that I am not able to help her with the wedding preparation. It should be fun doing it, I suppose! Planning for a small and intimate wedding is much more fun than "mass wedding", as I call it.

Hiding

hidden in the alps

I just feel like secluding myself from the outside world.

Sunset at Kinderdijk

Sunset at Kinderdijk with Wiza

This was me and Wiza in Kinderdijk. Look at our facial expressions! Hahaha! Hillarious! We were supposed to be jumping, but as usual, we failed LOL!

The photo was taken last week.

Tea

I’m not a big fan of tea, to be honest. Hot chocolate and mango juice are my top favorites. Coffee (preferably cappuccino) is the next favorite (but trying so hard NOT to drink this frequently). Tea and soda drinks are, however, at the bottom of my list.

But ever since I got sick, I’ve avoided hot chocolate and coffee altogether. Somehow I feel they’re not good for my throat. But I need to drink something warm (too lazy to make a lemonade + honey mixture). So I opt for a tea!!!! 😀

It feels weird. I never bought a box of tea before. A change of lifestyle, I guess? 😛 Every time I drink tea, I remember about my ex-housemate and good friend, Jenny. She used to sit in our living room after dinner, watching TV and drinking a cup of green tea.

Ohhhh damn! I haven’t written to her for AGES! Maybe I should! 😐

Merci

Bu Asri’s Birthday

Bu Asri's birthday

Two days ago, Angga and I were told to come to Bu Asri’s place to pick up something. When we arrived (during dinner time haha), we were asked to join the birthday dinner! It was totally unexpected! There were a lot of foods! Most importantly, there were IKAN ASIN and SAYUR ASEM!!! waaaaaa… Those were my favorite food that my mum always made!!!! I was so happy to find them!!! hehehehe…. Alhamdulillah :). Happy birthday, Ibuuu Asri 🙂

Yet Another Easter Road Trip

Possible places to visit for the road trip

Despite my busy schedule and a 2-hour sleep last night, I can still do this!!! weeeewww!

I’ve been so grumpy and cranky lately. I can’t believe I haven’t traveled for 6 months!!! I can’t wait any longer. I promised myself not to travel until I graduate, but it doesn’t seem to work! I’ll end up insane if I don’t travel.

My friends and I were planning to do a road trip in Spain, but the flight ticket is so expensive! We’ve been waiting for more than a month and it doesn’t get any lower. So last night, I said to myself: THAT’S IT! Let’s change the destination! Let’s just drive somewhere!

You know you’re so desperate to travel when you open the whole map of Europe and try to pick whatever places to visit. Pasrah? Yep. I just need to get out.

Then my friend suggested  this route shown above. I immediately AGREE with it! Lyon — Nice — Monaco — Torino — Geneva — Lausanne — Montreux — Luzern. The cities are still not confirmed yet, as we’re still discussing about it. But I’m so excited already! Finally, I’ve got something I’m so looking forward to in 2 months time!!! AAAAAAHHHHHHH….

Ok, I need to sleep. Nitey nite!
