Hello Brastagi Highland

Tomorrow is a public holiday here, known as Nyepi or Balinese’s Day of Silence. We aren’t going to waste it by staying at home and slaving for our job. Instead we will join the crowd in Brastagi Highland which is 2 hours away from Medan city.

It’s been a while since I last spend a night at the cool-fresh-air-town. It will be a great getaway with the family and a chance to have a short break from computer. But we will still be able to online from the mobile-phone. Well, can’t live without Facebook and Twitter.

Breaking News

Life has been pretty hectic for me. No time to exercise with dip bar but no problem cause most importantly I still have time to consume more Medan foods.

Lots of things happened which makes my life to be more colorful. Lots of new experience from almost being summoned by the traffic police here to being suspected as a mental-illness girl and yet I dare to show up at the airport again later on. So many things to be written down in this blog, but no time to do so.

Many webdesign project in our hand now and yet we have to leave them to put on driver + tour guide cap (again) for this weekend. Cause we have some family thing coming up tomorrow, so well, going to the airport to fetch my relative later on.

Last week we have been busy with the short visit of my boy’s uncle and friends. Those few days were all about “swallow bird nest”. Boring for me but it’s very interesting for them.

As for our personal stuff, we have settled the marriage registration here. Again, money talks. Sigh. We are now in the process of settling the three-months-social-pass.

Now, I can’t wait for May to come~! Hint: my long pending honeymoon.

Hair MakeOver

I had my haircut at my all time favorite saloon on last Saturday. It was just 9am and the place already full with classy aunties and young women. Blackberry, branded handbag, bling-bling items and a chaffeur waiting for them outside has made me felt so out of the place. But heck, I was there for the haircut and not competing in showing off the expensive spirometer or the jewelry that I just bought. Anyway, the haircut costs me IDR350.000. The price keeps on increasing from time to time. Sigh.

Few days after that, which was on last Tuesday, I went for hair coloring and curly session after much consideration. It’s my 2nd time curly-ing the hair and my very first time in coloring my beloved black hair which isn’t that black at all.

Overall it took 4 hours to complete both thing, 9am – 1pm, with 2 hours for curl and 2 hours for coloring. Wash and blow-dry are included inside too. So much faster than my expectation. Probably because it was weekday and there was less customers.

All those costs me IDR1.450.000 with details as the following: IDR.700.000 for curly-ing, IDR.80.000 for vitamin, IDR.400.000 for coloring, IDR.260.000 for the Kerastase product and IDr10.000 for shaping eyebrow. Worthy for me cause 1, I only go to saloon 2 to 3 times in a year for major makeover, and 2, the curl/color can last long. I had my first curl on last year May and it’s still there before I chopped it off last Saturday. Almost 10 months.

Well, great and fabulous hair equals to good mood.

Looking forward to tonight flight

Eleven hours until my flight to KL and I haven’t pack my stuffs yet. Hate packing so much cause have to select what to bring and what not to bring while worrying it will exceed weight or not.

So looking forward to this trip cause that means I don’t need to see the KNS maid for a month and the irritating meow-ing sounds from the cats. These two (maid and cats) are just eating up the living space. I so wanna kick them out of the house. Sorry, evil mode on.

And that maid just received a phone call from her youngest daughter whom is in primary school. There she goes haihz-hm-ing and emo-ing again while thinking about going back Indonesia. No pity to her consider her super duper annoying and irresponsible attitude. Ugh.

Push that hatred away and replace it with happy mode. Til then.

Yay to Pink!

I am surfing online for whatever info that I can read and whatever picture that I can see, while organizing my computer files and updating the back-up in my HDD to prepare for our upcoming trip to KL and Medan. I am blog hopping from truck accessories page to bedroom stuffs and then I come across this oh-so-sweet-cute-girlie-pink-quilted-bedding in polkadot from potterybarnkids! Peek it here.

I want I want I want! Mom, buy for me can? I’m so wanna go back to be a kid (girl) again.

Nightmare with Illustrator Error

I woke up early this morning to rush on my illustration work only to be greeted by an ERROR message from Adobe Illustrator. Half of the file is gone. I mean, some of the illustration in the file is ‘gone’ (including the character design holding promotional bags) while the layout design is still there. One of the layer is ‘gone’ too. But when I had Ctrl + O and click on the file, I can see the complete illustration in the small screenshot. All I have is a broken AI file and I didn’t save in pdf format too.

Can’t understand why. I’ve asked Google for solution, tried but can’t work. There goes my hard work until the wee hour last night. I should just go sleep earlier and do it today. Sigh. Gotta pick myself up from this denial stage to acceptance stage. I better start working on it all over again than wasting more time trying to recover the file.

Before that, let me bang my head to the wall and cry out loud first.

Busy is Good

My boy and I might be the weirdest people on this earth. We love being busy, in a good cause of course, not busy as in gossiping about neighbour who uses best weight loss pill or take care of other people’s business. When we have free time in our hand, we will feel oh so weird like something is missing. Guess we need to learn how to enjoy the free time and relax eh?

Anyway, after having enough break and good time during Chinese New Year, we are now loaded with work. Lotsa deadline to meet. Yes, it’s another working weekend. No complain, cause it means we won’t be starving and we actually enjoy our work.

I have to finish my writing tasks today. Then there is blog design work with custom character illustration to go. I’m not sure if I can find time to resize my AD (Actual Day) wedding pic. Time to use Picasa I guess. And tonight I’ll accompany my boy to attend his high school gathering at a restaurant. Whew..
