SPURNAMASARI: THE JOURNAL

I'm so blessed and happy!

Well first of all I'm in Sydney now! (You can say, 'again?') but it's just for a while.. Will be back to Perth on Sunday. That's practically tomorrow!

Anyways, I've got to meet Ayu and lil Israel!!!! He's so little and cute! Aww aww aww! Seeing babies makes me want to tie the knot ASAP! Lol.

I also met other friends: Lynn, Adit, Sammy, Ivan, Eddie, Candy and Astrid! I'll meet more people later this morning and I'm excited!

Meeting my friends aside, I also get to eat all the delicious food in Sydney! I can't get enough of it, seriously! I wish I can stay longer...

Dad said my face looks brighter ever since I've arrived at Sydney. Ha! I guess my whole body subconsciously loves every part of Sydney :)

Post more later!

No Way To Say

Friday, January 4, 2013

Hi again.. :)

It turns out my spirit to write burns much brighter in 2013. I hope I will always have the same spirit to write throughout the year. You know how it all starts in every new year. It's time for making resolutions!! *big yawn*

Let's be honest, no one likes resolutions. Well at first it's going to be really fun but by the end of the year it's going to be a list from hell that you can't seem to fulfill. Or maybe it's just me who made unrealistic and unachievable resolutions.

Anyhow, before I complain and rant on about what my goals are in 2013, I want to just reflect everything that has happened in 2012:

January: I was in Macau on New Year's Eve. I was still devastated over my breaking up with Luke and I was really, really sick I couldn't enjoy my holiday. And then my grandpa passed away. I must say it certainly wasn't the best way to start the year. Little did I know that my sister was already about two weeks pregnant. Well, little did everyone know. And honestly, I'm glad to know now that something good happened around that time. :)

February: Still heart-broken. And it was the time of the year where everybody celebrated 'love'. It sucked. LOL. Went to Singapore for six weeks with my sister and it was a great escape for us! We went shopping, trying good food, visiting the orchid garden. I think my heart was healing - slowly - around this time.

March: Back to hometown. Was struggling to get used to live there. Missing Sydney a lot! But then I hung out with new friends - my sister's friends actually - and things seemed to get better.

April: I decided to start to go to gym. Tada! I won't say it's the best decision but I really needed to lose few kilos.

May: Ok, I couldn't remember what happened on this month. I can't even remember where I was or what I did. I think I was just helping my parents with their works, going out with my friends, spending quality time with my laptop and with my parents as well.

June: Time for holiday! Went to USA. Awesome!!

July: Still awesome! Was in USA for the first two weeks of July. Nothing significant happened - even on my birthday! Got iPad for my birthday pressie though. The highlight of the month. Can't think of anything else other than playing with it. I abandoned both my macbook and iPod. OH! I also got an awesome present from my friends (H necklace). I. Love. It. Luke gave me cross charm from Pandora. It was beautiful.

August: Things were pretty much the same as on May. Was back to hometown and enjoy quality time with friends, with church, and with work. I think it's around this time I started my job as a freelance translator (right, Christy? :P). Got to know how tough it is to work as a translator - mostly by the fact that the pay sucked, even for a full-timer. Ha ha ha!

September: My sister's friend got married and I was the bridesmaid! Along with my bestie, Fanny, and also Brian and Yonax. It was fun, but I kind-of hating my dress. It didn't fit really well on my body and it was making me look like a 20 year-old face with a 35 year-old body. Ughh. Ok maybe it's just me who thought that way. But one thing for sure: being a bridesmaid is a tough job!

October: Another two weddings to go, with me being the bridesmaid of one of them. I think this was the month where I realized that men still think I was interesting. Not that I had issue with self-esteem, but I just didn't know that I still had it. You know? Ha! Just kidding. I was shocked on an occasion, and flattered on the other. Was really exciting because I was going to Perth - and Sydney! And the best part about October was because i got to go to Bigbang's concert!!!! Kyaaaaa!!! Bigbang was super great! Everyone's really really handsome! 진짜!
Was sick at the end of the month though. The bridesmaid and wedding thingy had taken its toll. Couldn't get close to Brooklyn even if I wanted to really bad. :(

November: Another highlight of the year. Went to Sydney to surprise my friends - and they were surprised!! :))) Had the greatest time for my short stay there. It was the best November I've ever had. Went to Melbourne as well. Learned how to play mahjong, and also got to try all the food that I've been craving for so long. It was short-lived though. Back to Perth and started my life as a nanny :p I enjoyed it. Maybe because she's my niece. And she's very cute. And chubby. And round. And tiny. And adorable. And she kept making cute noises all the time. I just love everything about her. I couldn't even get angry to her. Awwww. Bad news was I had breakout. It was major. Worst thing ever happened to my face :(

December: Brooklyn was turning two months old and she was getting cuter and cuter. I wish my children will all be as cute as her. Ha! Mom and dad and my bro came to Perth and we had fun all the time! Learned that Luke had scored himself a girlfriend and wow, it had been more than a year (me and luke broke up)! I genuinely hope they'll last. I wish you a happy life, if you're reading my post now, Luke. :) God bless. Back to my point, I visited casino and won some money! I had never won this much in my life. I never had won anything in my life! I was so proud. But guys, gambling is sinful so don't do what I did. It was just for fun.. Hahaha. Another thing to mention was… I had been praying, quite a lot to God. Was asking for a sign. I wasn't sure if my prayer was valid. I'm still not sure now. Even though He had given me the answer.. I guess. It was really nerve-wrecking as I waited for the answer.

My latest request would be two days ago. I can't tell you what it was all about but all I can say is… It's funny how you find out you really want/like something/someone when you're about to lose it/them. Does it make any sense? I think I need to pray more. On the other hand, I've been way out of topic so I'll just shut.

That's how I spent the whole twelve months last year. I hope I've done something useful. Well I'm a well-trained mother-to-be now ;) And I've seen many new places. And I realize that I really love Australia. I hope I'll keep on coming back to this place. Sydney, I'm talking about you. Ha!

That's all for now. I'm gonna spend the rest of this day thinking about my new year's resolutions. I'll keep you updated!

Pieces Of Me (Year 2012, the conclusion)

Monday, May 21, 2012

Ok, I was away for a little while and when I come back, blogger dashboard has changed! What was happening??? I was about to change my blog template but now I have no idea how to actually do it. SO I'm gonna have to stick with this one until I figure out a way to change it.

Anyways, just as this blog has been updated, my life has some updates too. Been to Jakarta back and forth this past months and I happened to go to Bandung as well. Such a great experience! I love Bandung! There aren't too many things that I hate in life though, so no wonder I get to like Bandung in such a short visit. I tried as many signature dishes as I could and I have to tell you, I'm going back to Bandung, man.

Bandung aside, I also happened to have my right eye swollen because of peanut! Seriously. I have never had an allergy towards peanut. I eat them all the time. But lately my body is changing. Pimples showin' up, and then my eye got swollen from eating roasted almonds. Unbelievable. Lucky it only swelled for a few hours.

And lucky it didn't happen on the night of Russell Peters live show! I must say my last trip to Jakarta was a real badass. Hahaha. Not only I got to meet Russell and enjoy his dirty yet funny jokes, but I could also tasted soju! I've been missing you for a very long time!! And drinking it while enjoying delicious bbq pork really brought me back to my good ol' days in Sydney. :) I miss you guys. The church, the movies, the tea club, the life group, the retreat, the restaurants, I just can't get enough!! Hopefully I can come to Sydney this year *fingers' crossed*

Back to the updates of my life, I'm going to be bridesmaids twice this year. The last time I became a bridesmaid, I was only 7 - OK, I was a flower girl I guess - and I can't recall what I did back then. I was gossiping with my 6 yo flower boy. Haha. I'm pretty excited for this though. It's something new. I bet it's going to be fun. But it's gonna be exhausting. So many weddings this year! And for this very reason, I won't be able to go to this year's retreat at Sydney! :(

:(

:(

Before I bid my goodbye, last update: I've been watching dramas lately - two to be exact - and they're both awesome!! The first drama is Autumn's Concerto (2009) and the second one is Secret Garden (2010) and yes, Secret Garden is better ;p but I recommend Autumn's Concerto too! Few things that I learned from both dramas: Van Ness Wu can act! And he's a christian. And he was working with Ryan Tedder (One Republic) once for his song. He's just full of surprise. Another thing is I'm a super fan of Hyun Bin (현빈)!!! And apparently he had a relationship with Song Hye Kyo! Lucky girl! And he is 1.84 m!! Hotness alert! Hahahah. Secret Garden has just got me falling deeper in love with Korea. Awesomeness!

PS. Don't forget to have a QT! ;)

binging on KFC and Pizza Hut! I don't know if I should be happy or sad. I mean I'm pretty sure one hour treadmill won't wash away those fat from my hips. Ughh I wish I can be like those skinny girls who don't have to go on a diet and eat a lot. And like, whatever. Hahahaha

Anyways, I don't have something to talk about actually. I just miss blogging. And Sydney. And my high school friends too! We used to be in this silly gang of five (six with Yuki?) who were inseparable. Now we're what? I never even heard anything about them anymore!! I miss you guys.. The toilet talk, the cheeky gossips, the silly pranks we pulled on each other. Guess this what happens when you 'grow up'. You just miss out on everything.

Sometimes I wonder what would my life be the next five years? Two years? It's... unknown. Hopefully I won't be getting fatter though. Maybe I'd be like Ji Hyo! :) Amen amen amen.

Hahaha.

Oh and I'm changing my blog skin. This one is just too grey. It's like an old lady's blog. Duh.

I know, I know it's not even Day #10 and I stop posting about Purpose Driven Life? :0

Well it wasn't actually my fault. It's just this one time I had to stay up for a friend, talking until 3 am and missed my chance to blog. And after that everything is... postponed. That's the word.

Anyways, my friend, Luke is now in Malaysia! His brother will get married soon. Congratz to him! :)

We Brigades miss you and Lynn a lot!! :D

Hope we can meet again, soon. Or.. someday? hahahaha

I'll continue my project tonight.. Or tomorrow :)

Well, you've read my blog, I think you have pretty much know a lot about me. But here is one thing that I often do but people might will never have guessed. Yep, I do cry. And not just on special occasion such as watching sad movies. I'm a cry baby!

I wish I wasn't like this. I can practically cry just by imagining bad things happen to people that I care about. Yeap. Just think and I can cry. Very easily.

Can you imagine what happen when I'm on my period? The slightest bit of touching moment will draw my tears. Seriously. I don't know what will happen if I'm pregnant. It's gonna be a turbulent mood swings. And not in a good way.

Knowing Me A Little Bit More

Thursday, March 24, 2011

Erm, what can I say, it's 2011 and A LOT of things have passed and I HAVEN'T posted anything at the first three months - and very close to four months, actually. But I don't think many people will miss my post at all though, because:
1. Apparently twitter is the 'thing' now
2. I don't tell people I write blog
3. I don't tell many people about my blog nor the address
4. People who know about my blog don't check for updates that much, I think. Especially after my absenteeism.

So, in this new fresh year, let me just get through the calendar and greet you a very Happy:
1. New Year
2. Chinese New Year
3. Valentine's Day
4. Birthday to my brother
5. White Day
6. Birthday to Mr. L (and to be very clear Mr. L does not refer to Mr. Liar, they are two different person)

What else did I miss? I don't know much about other significant day that I should celebrate so if I failed to mention it, sorry guys.

If anything, I know some of my - hopefully - faithful readers might wonder what had come into my mind that I start to care about this blog again. Well, believe me I love this blog and I love writing. That is the main reason why I started checking on this blog again, looking for a new skin - how do you like it? :) - and actually write something. I miss writing so much. Sometimes a lot of things just crossed my mind when something happened, like Rebecca Black!!! I don't mean to dissed about her but I have never heard more annoying sound than that. Seriously. She's just...

Anyway, back to topic; I miss writing. All of my thoughts and questions, they're all wandering around in my mind and I just didn't know how to get it out, and I swear by the name of all delicious food, I always wanted to post something here but I just never got the time. I mean, posting from my blackberry is not the same as to post from blogger! You don't get to put labels, you don't get to see your post and check for grammatical errors, it's just not good enough! The result is, it's building up in me, until BAM!, it's already March, I haven't done any post, and I got sick, ha! A great time to just stay at home, doing nothing, got bored, and updating my blog!

So, some of you, again, might be thinking, what's being going on with my life? What are the updates? How have I been? Am I OK? (Who am I kidding? I'm the only one who read my own post lol, except for some lost reader maybe. Anyway I don't care. This is for my documentation, so I'd be able to check what kind of a person I was in the future. And I still need to improve my English, so there you go...) Here are the answers, here are the list of what happened during my almost-four-months-vacuum:

I was busy. Yes, I can be busy. I don't have time to do small things, things I used to like to do: I don't write, I don't read, I don't think about stories that I wish I could write one day, I don't download Smallville anymore. MANY things. And trust me, I don't write that much in twitter as well anymore. Apparently, I got bored easily, and twitter is no exception.
I'm in a relationship. (I try not to put exclamation mark after it, lol.) Yep, having a relationship makes you, well, distracted. Ha! I'm not saying having a relationship makes me 'busy', it's just adding into my list of schedule :p hohoho. And the guy is Mr. L, you can see his photo in the homepage :) As always, I don't talk about my love relationship that much in my post and I think I'm gonna keep it that way but I am very happy right now, and that's all you have to know.
I've gained weight. Maybe I'm too happy with my life, maybe it's my muscle (hardly true lol), maybe I'm just getting lazy, maybe the foods are getting more and more delicious, maybe my bone is getting heavier, anyhow, I'm at the fattest or heaviest point of my life right now. :(
I'm sick. I think I've mentioned it somewhere above, and yeah, it feels yuck! I can't eat everything that I want, and it hurts just to swallow. It's a torture.
I'm on a diet. It's been going on for a week now and as soon as I recover from my sickness, might as well start to exercise. I can't let those fat stay forever on my hips. Can't. x(
My sister is getting married!!!! I KNOW!! It's bigger than huge! It's the biggest shock of my life. Time not only flies, it goes in a blink of an eye! Felt like yesterday we were just playing barbie together and now she's worrying about the wedding party and what to wear and stuff. It's FANTABULOUS, I have to say. :)
I have to sleep now. Cos I need to wake up early tomorrow. Got thing to do with Mr. L. Tee hee :))

So, that's all for now, everybody!! I'll be posting again soon. I hope. As for now, God bless you always!!

2011: My First Post

Saturday, February 6, 2010

I'm relaxing my mood now, and that's all because of this aromatherapy... I never know Teddy's Dream scent would be this soothing. Ha!

Anyway, Monday will be my last day on driving course and I'm so happy!! Like HAPPY happy. And I'm telling you I'm pretty good at driving now ;) ha ha ha. Kidding, I still haven't tried driving on my own. But I'll keep praying and practicing.

So I'm going to rest my body and soul with this Teddy's Dream. I love aromatherapy!

Blog again later!

Teddy's Dream

Wednesday, October 21, 2009

I was twittering and all of sudden there's this voice in my head (LOL) that somehow reminds me of blog. It's funny how we sometimes forget the thing we used to love the most, right? I say human is a scary living creature because they change so fast and sometimes we don't even remember our promises, or words, or acts, or attitudes that we used to think were our 'signature' and that we won't ever change that. DUH.

Anyway, I know I write this nowadays a lot, but: "I'm going to post more". I'm not making any promises! ahaha, just going to try - well sometimes I feel stupid writing all these and I think no one will read 'em but the hell with it: writing is fun! And not like posting status on facebook and twitter. Nu-uh, blogging is very precious for me and I'm gonna try to keep it that way.

I've just read Christy's and Vionna's blogs and - awwww - they're all still blogging now! Coolness. I'm so proud of them. Even better, Harry has like so many blogs I can't even remember all of the links. I'm gonna ask him soon. Oh and I think it's time for me to change my blog's theme; to keep my flame of writing to this blog. Ha!

My absence this few months are due to:
1. Twitter: you know the trends, I mean, it's getting so much easier through UberTwitter, so whoever run this program, please do something to make it easier for us, blogger, to blog from, let's say, blackberry or iPhone or any other smart-phones.
2. My sister's graduation it was awesome. She's pretty and she got herself a new, hopefully soulmate-to-be boyfriend :)
3. Parents did come. Time has an abstract context in both my parents' mind, day turn into night and vice-versa. And dad used this laptop the whole time! But those were the best weeks of the year!
4. Assignments are looking new ways to kill me, literally - though it didn't stop me from twittering, but you know it was much harder to blog.
5. Simple and cliche: got no time.

So, until my next post,
xoxo

So, I told you my stomach hurt so much last time. It was so bad that I had to *oops* go to the restroom thrice in an hour. Sister cewi even had to sprayed fresh citrus like five times. Hahaha..

I chatted with harry today. He asked about my deepest dream. I thought about that and I am going to reveal it. I really want to be a Victoria's Secret's angel. Don't you guys think I'd definitely fit in with Gisele, Adrianna, and Miranda Kerr? No? I like VS angels because they are so fierce on the runway even if it's soooo chill outside!! They're only wearing smallies!

I am like so frustrated. My exam was like.. Stupid. I sometimes think like: "Why siska why? Why did you chooe this major?" I could have been a stay at home wife. Isn't it nice? Eat and get a lipo when I'm too fat.. Uh-oh my stomach hurt again and it's not even my period time! Sheet, gotta go bicthes, maybe the fresh citrus that cewi sprayed won't be that useful after all. HAHAHA..

P.S. I'd totally do Hugh Jackman!

Hi! It's the last day of March, tomorrow's April's Fool! I really don't understand how fast time flies and in two months, it's in a middle of 2009 already! Shit, people are getting older even they don't mean to.

Anyway, I successfully went to work today. And I wasn't late (tadaa!) but cewi took me there actually ;) I have a friend in my workplace who is Mongol and was born in Afghanistan, but live in Sydney. So he is a Mongol Afghan Australian. He's still so young but he looks really mature (I don't want to use the word 'o'). Back to him, he listens to Indian songs, Arabic songs, Afghan rap.. Wow! I was so amazed and he can speak Afghan. I never met someone who looks like Chinese but speaks Afghan. And his English is good as well! I must stop stereotyping here.

Well I don't have much to say now. Been intending to finish my homework since forever. I'm an ultimate laziest person in the world. Catcha later!

O yeah, I want to change my blog address as well. Duchessite is so overrated. I mean who uses duchess as a nickname?? That would be me, but you know.. I better think of something better.

Daily Update

Monday, March 30, 2009

If you ever go to work, make sure you bring:
1. Some cash, but don't take too much. The quote 'If you have it, flaunt it' only relevant when you're not working and you're friggin rich. And famous.
2. House-keys. No matter what, this is the most crucial thing if you ever go out, whether it's just for a short walk or to go for a month vacation.
3. Cell-phone. Even if you're at home, you need it. And don't trust some bullshit about people can live without technology. We can't.

I woke up at 4 am today in the hope of arriving on time at work - I started at 6 today. Little did I know that the bus didn't come as it supposed to be and I missed all those three things. I waited from 5 until 5.40. It was cold, dark, and no one was around. I got so pissed off at first and panicked by the time I was in front of my door-house.

I went punching the door-bell and prayed that ANYONE would wake up and opened the door for me. Thank goodness, one of my housemate woke up and let me in. I ended up losing an eight hours shift (I called in sick). Things like these won't happen if I could be just a little smart, and if the bus could come on time as it shows on the web. I hate sydneybuses.com. They don't tell you the truth. TEN taxies were literally passing through me. And at that whole time, only TWO buses passed, which were not on service, and obviously couldn't take me to my workplace.

Seriously, today is a crazy day. And all of my shifts started at 7.30. WOW.

Anyway, I watched Paul Blart. Funny and sad. :)

And I also watched The Nanny Diaries yesterday, and I'm more than happy to admit that I am a super fan of Scarlett Johansson. She didn't play a bitch at this movie, her role is perfectly a monogamous woman. I love it, you should watch it. That's how I got my quote about 'male monogamy' on facebook, which causes Harry to think that I am a thesaurus-person. Haha. I wish. I can get an honor for that.

Things Everyone Should Learn (Especially Me)

Tuesday, March 3, 2009

Another new thing that I tried recently: Yoga. HAHAHAHA

I think I should change my blog's address to realnewexperience.blogspot.com or daretotry.blogspot.com or something else. Coz lately, I was like trying all these kind of new things. This one is not just a yoga, by the way, it was a Hattha Yoga - it's a hot yoga, actually, they just put it that way in the brochure.

I went with my always-the-perfect-companion, Cewi, and Cita's friend, Devi - which was a little weird because Cita was in Home-country. Anyway, we went for 5.30 avro class, and the yoga teacher was beautiful and hot!!

But I'm telling you, all this time I was dreaming to be like, a cool yoga practitioner, but yoga was trying to kill me. Well, not, but it was SOO HOOTTT I could not barely breathe, and even though I did, the smell was so unbearable to me. There was this one guy who stood in front of me and he was sweating all over the place. He wore a tight swimming pants!! And the pants wet! Cewi even noticed someone - by accident, of course - scratching his, um, **lls!! WTF!

And the move, the posture,.. ARRGGHHH!! It's killing me with each new movements. Now my back is hurt, and my knees are hurt, and my hands are shaking. And they are all in pain because of Yoga. But it did me good, as always. At least when the teacher told us to just lie down it really felt calm and quiet and I just wanted to sleep.

But the teacher said that the point of Yoga is staying awake - she also mentioned that the word Buddha from 'The Buddha' itself means awake. So I had to keep my eyes open, even though my eyelids are heavy and I swear, at some point of the time, the teacher's voice started to faint.

I hate Yoga.

But I still gonna do it. LOL. I paid for this!! Besides the teacher also said all the benefits of practicing Yoga and if you want to be like completely healthy, you have to do yoga everyday - yeah, every single day - for ten years. DUHH! Even the teacher has got a few years left. I was like, in the zero position of a timeline. Whatevs, I prolly gonna do it again on Friday. :)

Gotta go to class.
