Meet Carrie before her Movie


Here it is Carrie Bradshaw's Diaries by Candace Bushnell. The first volume of The Carrie Diaries is scheduled for release April 27, 2010, just a month before the theaterical release ofSex And The City 2. I love the idea of the releasement of this book as an effort to endorse the movie itself.


Can't wait! Can't wait!

My Piggy Bank

Saya masih mengandalkan CELENGAN untuk menabung. Bisa dibilang celengan adalah satu-satunya tempat yang saya percaya dan andalkan untuk menyimpan uang saya, bahkan melebihi BANK yang memiliki kredibilitas terbaik sekalipun. Bukannya saya tidak percaya pada bank manapun untuk melindungi keamanan simpanan uang saya namun teknologi ATM membuat bank tidak mampu melindungi uang saya dari saya. SAYA? iya saya! Teknologi ATM yang memudahkan saya untuk kapanpun, dimanapun, dan dalam situasi apapun, membuat saya tidak mampu melindungi uang saya dari saya (yang dapat dengan mudah dan seenaknya) mengambil uang saya. Saya, si compulsive buyer, yang mempunyai kecenderungan agak parah dalam hal beli membeli, kemudian mencari cara paling pas untuk tetap dapat mempertahankan eksistensi uang saya dari kepunahan. Cara ini terbukti PALING AMPUH untuk saya mengumpulkan uang. Asumsi dari tindakan menabung di celengan ini adalah dengan memasukkan uang saya secara rutin ke dalam tempat tertutup yang hanya memiliki satu lubang kecil, tanpa celah, dan tidak dapat dibuka dengan cara apapun, bahkan saya sendiri tidak mampu untuk mengambil uang saya yang sudah saya masukan ke dalam tempat tersebut. Sesederhana itu!! Hehehehe.. Saya memang harus berkomitmen untuk tidak membukanya dengan alasan apa pun sampai saatnya tiba. Asumsi lain, bila saya meninggalkan celengan saya di rumah, uang tersebut akan aman karena uang tersebut tidak akan saya ganggu gugat ketika penyakit compulsive buying saya lagi kumat. hehehhehe.. Saat saya tidak memiliki uang dan kepepetnya harus mengambil uang jajan saya dari ATM, saya tetap memiliki uang di dalam celengan yang aman tersimpan di rumah.

Menabung di celengan.. Saya sudah melakukannya bertahun-tahun. Beruntung saya mempunyai orangtua yang sangat menghargai uang dan mensosialisasi nilai tersebut kepada saya dan adik sejak kecil. Teringat masa kecil saya, ketika saya SD, orangtua saya sering memberi saya dan adik uang untuk setiap prestasi yang kami peroleh, sebagai reward.. 5000 rupiah untuk nilai 9 dan 10.000 untuk nilai 10. Orangtua mengajarkan kami untuk menyimpan “uang reward” tersebut di celengan. Kemudian di setiap akhir caturwulan, celengan tersebut kami buka dan kami boleh membeli mainan atau barang apapun yang kami inginkan dengan uang tersebut. Betapa senangnya kami saat itu bisa membawa sekantung uang dan boleh mempergunakannya untuk membeli apapun yang kami mau! Hahahaha rasanya kami jadi orang paling kaya seduniaaa!!

Kebiasaan menabung tersebut terbawa hingga sekarang. Saya tetap mengandalkan celengan untuk saya menyimpan uang dan kemudian memberi diri saya reward atas keberhasilan saya berkomitmen pada diri sendiri. *Cheers*


Saya membeli Blackberry Gemini (benda ungu yang saya pegang itu) dari hasil menabung di celengan loh!

Gagal nonton 2012

Wondering the fact that 2012 is controversial here in Indonesia, me, Nanda, Dini, Mita, and Ribta planned to go watching that movie in theatre. We went to PIM with a big hope that we would get the tickets and could watch it there. Unfortunately the tickets were sold out. We were dissapointed. We just walked around the mall and had chitchat along the way. Been borring in the PIM, then we had Nasi Goreng Gila at Darmawangsa street. It's a -pinggir jalan- fried rice which is SANGAT ENAK and i think everyone in Jakarta should try. The fun thing about having this -pinggir jalan- fried rice is we had dinner in the car cos there's no other place we could comfortably sit. Hahaha!

Then, we went to Grand Indonesia. Just another -walking around moment in the mall- we had. But quite nice though.. and i love it!

Geng KAUP

KAUP is one of the subjects i learn in my postgraduate program. It's about constructing a psychological test, whether it measures person's performance or personality. Then i must say, not the hardest subject one but the most needy one.. We have to deal with all the procedures and details. With the needyness, we have to discuss all the progress of our work like all the time! Gladly i work with these guys.. They are very smart and fun people, commited to the assignments to have it all done. We like to work it outside campus. The work itself is too boring to be done in campus.. so we go finding the other alternative to do it in the fun way.. One day, we did our assignment in Panini House, EX.





Then.. we had sushi sushi sushi in Kyadon sushiiii.. nice!

Our Native Fashion Heritage

"Fashion has always been nourished and fired by the exchange of ideas. It’s almost as if, once put forward into the world, an idea belongs to no one but to a universal psyche. It seems as if that is how it should be." Dries Van Noten. So.. this is the reason behind his magical works. So inspiring!





Source: Style.com

I am beyond impressed by how Dries Van Noten put Batik, Tenun, and Ikat beautifully matched with the cut of his designs. Not forget to mention the rich colors of the fabric, which i love the most! How proud i am that the native Indonesian's fashion heritage is NOW being part of world wide fashion trend.

I had another chance to have dinner with Nanda's family. Last night was in Din Tai Fung restaurant. I felt the same excitement from the last dinner meeting with them (Trattoria). Din Tai Fung is a great restaurant which serves deliciooo food.
Enough saying, just want to share the photos here..
