Highlights Flashback

The Highlights of being 10 (teens):

Senior High School graduation, preparation for my further study in United States
apart from parents,  somewhat independent life, new atmosphere,
new places, not a single familiar faces, new education system,
and obviously, a totally new language....huahuahuahua...

didn't realize it was that hard back then, but praise God, i encounter new friends, new surroundings.
the Korean student advisor, some nice Japanese and American roommates, very kind-hearted and caring host family, the McCarriers, and
all others nice and kind people surround me who
build and made my Campus Life be Extraordinary Fantastic, and Extraordinary Memorable.


The Highlights of being 20 (twenty something):

Two highlights of this decade:
1.  Being 21 years old ---
in the lovely United States of America, getting 21 years old meant A Whole New World ahead. The avoidable and the forbidden world such as alcohol, entering club, sex (i don't mean free sex), let's just say all of the above suddenly became friend and welcomed you as the fresh member of the club.

2.  Marriage Life.
Get married too young, having kids too young, and separated too young as well...
heks, it's not something i brag about, but that's become part of  the life journey - admit it or not, some experience it well and nice, few like me experience it not too well and definitely not something to be modelized and followed.

To be short, not easy to adapt another whole different world in that age....
Marriage certainly needs more thought inside it, behind it, and deep through it, besides only based on the Nice 4 Letter Word :
L ~ O ~ V ~ E.

The Highlights of being 30 (thirty something):
 

This decade differentiate me with other kind of venue in two separate areas:
Prioritizing and task-juggling is the most skill needed for this decade.
the ability to juggle between raising kids and having an uprising go in my career.
Being trustworthy, dependable, and  performed career woman,
Being trustworthy, independent, and fitted mother to my kids...


To conclude quarter part of  the life journey,
The Three Decades of My Life, in the big or little screen,
may be categorized as Romance, Drama, Fun Comedy movie, or some of the times even Action-Thrilled movie, Good thing is not yet categorized as Horror movie.

Turning 40

there is a saying that life begin at 40,,
hehehe, don't know what's the reason behind that quote...


anyway, how's turning 40 for me...
actually it is not any different when i turned 35 or 30 or any other year...

as far as i can recall
the birthday that i really wished and expected was when turning 21 years old...
becoz it is the age when another world opened up for me...


oou, ya, did i mention that TMII, the surrounding place i worked at also have the same birthday as me...
it was 35th TMII birthday...
we wore the same green batik which they gave us to sew according to the pattern and wear in the day...
at Langgeng Sasono Budoyo, had some celebration of TMII's birthday...
Ibu Siti Hardiyanti Rukmana, as more well-known as Mbak Tutut,
as the Chairman of the TMII foundation ,
was the one who leads the Celebration,
cut the "tumpeng" etc...

@ working place
just like regular birthday...
have a nice lunch with my superior team...
a Sundanese kind of lunch...
nice place, nice food...
not too far away from where we work...

before that,
my fb team celebrates my birthday,
Birthday cake from breadtalk,
Nice gift. ....
almost get flushed to the pool,
but somehow by wearing this batik,
it saves me from the Snowbay Birthday routine celebration, hehhehe, lucky me



@ home with my family

my brother already bought me a cake from eaton,
birthday cake wishes, blowing candles, cutting cake, and eating cake...
Jonathan, my son, leads the Birthday prayer  ....

i was thinking of eating out somewhere near here,,
but since my staff cooked me the complete nasi ulam
i changed my mind...
great simple dinner,
mom came over...

almost 23, my brother and his family came over,,

simple and meaningful ...

Admiration n ResPect


my first year with him
it was very rough n unpredictable
many gloom, disappointment, not too mention perhaps some tears was rolling down my cheek

for a while i thought ...
was it a gender thingy
was it looks n physical performance wise..
or what was it...

but now...
i am very glad i have him,,,
becoz he is the one who supported me all this time...
he is the one who cheer me up during the rough time...
he know when he has to give me a hug of "i am there n back you up"
he is the one who cares n pays attention to little n detail thing...


just wanna say,,,,
i am very thankful n grateful for everything u've done for us,
for me specifically...



i still remember vividly,
you are the one who accompany n take us everywhere
we want to see
i still remember when you had to run all the way,
wake up early in the morning,
sleep very late at night,
all of that just to make the three of us happy n satisfied...

and when u were back here,
i was overjoyed ..
becoz some of my problems can be shared with u ..

and i am soo grateful of you...
thank you for the support, the cares, and the wisdom...

Wisdom not come from age,
but it comes from the mind, the heart, and maybe from some life experience

***  Love, Admiration and Respect  ***

wise words

this morning @ hardrock fm...
Renee Suhandono from  Career Coach Indonesia said this to a caller who experienced being told by the parents that he/she can't do anything/useless:

When  a person said something that let you down, it is THEIR problem;  but when you start on believing on what they say on you, then it is YOUR problem.  Thus, don't let people let you down, because you are the one who know how you are.

It is very true, isn't it ... i just realized it ... nice enlightenment....
