worth fighting for.

This year has been a big s**t for me, lots of tears, lots of arguments, lots of thinking and less laughters.

It got me thinking that God has sent his "angels" to ensure that I will always be happy and cherish every moment. Here is the short list of my angels.

Mom and Pap
I love them every minute of my life. Listening to their calm tone when I'm down is my magic drugs.

J.T
this may s ound corny and cheesy but your patience has melted me down. I found you as a mature and great man, I would never regret that I know you, deeply.

Miss Josephine
I always love your childish tone. It always cheers me up.

Audrey and Andita
Even thou our schedules sucks, our rooms are only 2 foot steps away .Uhm, we are not housemates, we are sisters.

Adi, Eve and Mandy
The crazy guys from Lawson street. You never fail to make me laugh. I always have a thought that some genes are missing from your brain, guys. YouW RocK MOi LiFe fWenS ! -hahahaha hate me now-

ICYO people
we are people full of intrics, but at the end of the day I know we just love each other as good friends. Making me busy all the time but i have to admit, I love it somehow.

warning: this is the corniest part. don't read it if you can't handle this.

They might not be the greatest people in the world but they are my greatest people. They are my "people" , they are the ones whom I'll spend hours on the couch, having non-sense conversation, they are my comfort zone.

this year, I ....

1. Finished my uni life on June.
2. Got my bachelor degree on October.
3. Got my bridging visa on July

10. am 21 years old.
11. do not go back home, not even once. I am proud of myself.
12. celebrated Christmas day without my family for the first time. I am proud, wendy, so proud of myself.

-i'll keep updating this post if something comes up to my mind-

from my perspective

I still do not know how people, esp random ones , can JUDGE me just by reading my blog or hearing about my stories or maybe seeing what I've done and where I come from. Just for your information, and I tag everyone, I do not tell and share everything to everyone I know, even my closest person, my bestest friends or my parents. I do exactly know what needs to be shared and not to be shared.

People can easily judge other people without knowing the story behind his/her behaviour.
I am a human too, I do that *slapping myself* but I always do it after my zillion thoughts *slapping myself harder*
but think of me as a victim ! Did you want to be judged by let's say for example your once and only stupid action, perhaps you were broken hearted and your brain were left at your fridge and no one knew about it? hummph, life is hard man.

I hate people judging me, you have no right doing it.

oops, I have a sense some people reading this post are "thinking" that I'm a difficult person. see? admit it.

have a wonderful Christmas !

This is definitely one of my perfect Christmas days.

Merry Christmas everyone !
may this happy day bring you happiness and joy for you and your family :)

but i have to admit that deep down in my heart I still want my mom's hugs.

an instant noodle and an egg for my christmas dinner

Hey! It's my first time celebrating Christmas without mommy and daddy and I'm doing well.

Oh well, I missed the best part of pre-Christmas at my home, opening all the parcels and tasting all the cakes and ice creams that actually were sent to my dad. I missed my parish mass, where my sis usually plays her violin. I missed my mom's cook. I missed my big family gathering. I didn't get my intangible Christmas present. but yeah, I am proudly say that I'm fine here.

I had an instant noodle and an egg for my dinner before going to the Indonesian mass at 19.30 at St Brigid's parish. and I'm not complaining at all 'cause those were my comfort food. I had a crazy stupid car bumping to my car on my way to the church ! but my car has no scratches at all. Thank God. The mass went smooth. Our choir sang loudly. The mass ended then the next thing I remember was shaking everyone's hand on the church, wishing them having a happy Christmas.

Me and my friends had supper at Saigon restaurant *considering we were at Northbridge at that time and had no other choice than Chinese food or Vietnamese*. We had bubble tea ( which made my Christmas so perfect. Bubble tea after the Xmas mass? great !). We threw some stupid jokes while eating. We laughed. We were happy.

Simple and bonding. We are having our small family here. Thank God for the community.

Having another Indonesian mass tomorrow at St Benedict 11.30 am. as usual. We'll be singing again. BBQ afterwards.

PS: Right now I'm listening to the St Joachim's ( Perth's pro Cathedral which is located next to my house) choir singing Xmas songs. It's just terrific. As if I hired a choir to sing while I was sleeping.

Merry Christmas everyone. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas day as I have. May this Christmas brings you joy and happines always.

Ga penting sih ini post dan fotonya. Lagi ga ada kerjaan aja, sambil mo pamer barang baru dan dvd yg kita nonton tadi siang Bride and Prejudice dan jadinya kita nyanyi2 dan joget2 india deh seharian hahaha.

I just bought a Christmas gift for myself. I know no one would buy me one, but that's ok. It's a hair dryer and straightener gift pack from Remington and I bought it from Coles with their special price ( but still it's quite expensive for an unemployed ex overseas student like me)

- inhale exhale -

Trying to convince myself this would still be a great Christmas season like usual thou without mom and dad. Actually I just want God to show His way as my Christmas gift and it would be my greatest Christmas gift.

life is hard

It always happens like this.

People are away when I need attention. when I need to be noticed.
People are around when I need to be alone. when I need my little own time.

Life is F*CKING SH*T !

My less than $2 lunch

I've been craving for a full breakfast since, like, ages ago but due to the - uh so no no- price, I just never had it before. Well, yesterday I tried to make one for my lunch and it really really tasted good and it only cost me less than $2 [ you have to pay at least $10 to get one in the restaurant]

[there should be toasts and baked beans but yeah I didnt have any bread or baked beans, just leave it like that]

meleleh

Gara2 kemaren bela2in makan San Churro di freo ama si Mendi tuh kulit muka smp kebakar perih bener trus hari ini rencananya males keluar2 ntar takut malah kenapa2 soalnya hari ini 38 derajat !

Udah tuh hari ini cuman ke gereja St Joachim sblh rumah persis, pas keluar gereja buset ky masuk oven panasnya (udah berasa seneng ga jadi ke Benedict ntar malah gosong gara2 nyetir). Eh siang2 gitu Jon telp ngajakin ke city sama anak2 ICYO. bah. udah janji mo nemenin dia lunch yaudah ke city lah. yang sungguh sangad panas bukan maen udah kaya dendeng manusia jalan2 di city.

HAri2 dingin yang menyenangkan udah mulai hilang. hiks. ga tau mo ngapaen lagi. ga suka panas. tidur ga bisa, buang2 aer tiap 2 jam mandi terus. parah.

things in my mind

1. Sebel

Kemarin ada plumber dateng benerin smua tap di rumah ini. As usual, dia masuk rumah pake spatu boot gedenya yg penuh lumpur trus naek2 ke kamar mandi *yang putih bersih suci itu* dan kotorlah kamar mandi, karpetku, dapurku.
Sambil ngomel kmrn ngosek kamar mandi.

Eh hari ini, dateng lagi electrician yg mo masak fan di kamar mandi *lagi lagi yg sudah suci lagi itu* kotor lagi. Karpet n lantai jadi kotor ga karuan smp mo marah liatnya. Dengan sangat terpaksa tadi sekalian bersiin shower curtain juga. Kamar mandiku jadi bersih putih suci indah kembali.

Barusan dapet telpon dari orang yg mo benerin tembok yg nglupas catnya di kamar mandi *LAGI !*
mau nangis rasanya.

2. Mbabu.
Oh ya, karpet juga aku vacuum semua. Seminggu ini aku udah vacuum karpet rumah 2x. selain itu, vacuum cleanerku udah agak lama bermasalah gitu trus kmrn aku *jauh jauh* ke good guys *yg cannington masi lurus lagi itu* eh sampe sana ternyata masalahnya cuman filternya kotor mesti di cuci.

Ya udah abis vacuum rumah tadi, buka vacuum cleaner di dpn rumah nih biar debunya ga masuk2 donk. Eh khan aku ambil posisi jongkok *yg super duper najong* itu smbl ngluarin debu2 di vacuum cleaner, trus tetangga depan yg cing cong itu keluar sambil bengong 2 detik liat posisi najong saya. dan saya pun udah kebal diliatin ky gitu.
back to vacuum, debunya emang ga karuan dan semua filter harus dicuci gitu. Parah. Di sink belakang udah ky kolam kobokan pasir gitu item2 smua hiiyyyy.

3. Super duper sebel.

Kenapa semua nyari yang udah experienced. Woiiii gimana cara fresh graduate dapet kerja kalo gitu??

4. Confused.

Mau ambil marketing, orang bakal bilang ngapaen. mau ambil IB, orang bilang mau ngapaen kalo lulus. mau ambil hairdresser, orang cuman liat sambil mikir jauh2 kok ambil itu. mau kawin aja bisa ditabok tabok ma nyokap. hehehe.

Let's face the reality. Harusnya ga usah dengerin orang2 kaya gitu, but we live in that situation. I've been there where people underestimated me. It's just not nice.

current alter ego

is a 2 year old baby.

*lagi nangis*

" huuuuwaaaa aku benci semuanya, ga mau ketemu siapa siapa lagi. Benci benci"

"huwaaaaa"

"Cuman mau mamah, huuuu mama ga ada huuuu"

"mau panda mau panda, tapi ga ada -huwaaaaaa-"

"mau peluk huey sama bear, huey sama bearnya kotor belum dicuci -huwaaaaa-"

"huhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhu"

nangis dipojokin ranjang sambil ngemut jempol tangan sampe tidur.

i.have.no.idea.nor.have.any.clues.at.all.

I'm haunted by this book. Should I or should I not?
I'm surprised how I did manage not to scream for the whole day for being almost crazy for only choosing a major.

and I have not made any decisions yet.

Hey ho,a pisces person is always on the grey area. Don't blame me. Blame my feng shui or whatever it is. haha.

Ah, can I repeat my kindergarten, please?

Immaculate Conception

Hari ini adlh perayaan Santa Maria yang Dikandung Tanpa Dosa (Immaculate Conception). It all started on the 1830 ketika Bunda Maria menampakan diri kpd Santa Katarina Laboure (yang jenasahnya smp sekarang masi segar n utuh) dan meminta agar membuat medali yg bertuliskan " O Maria yang dikandung tanpa dosa, doakanlah kami yg berlindung kepadamu" dan dogma Yang Dikandung Tanpa Dosa dihormati. Siapa saja yang mengenakan medali tersebut akan mendapat rahmat dari Yesus melalui doa-doa Ibu-Nya. Then, tahun 1854, Paus Pius *lupa yg ke berapa* akhirnya mengkukuhkan dogma tersebut setelah "rapat dan voting" dgn para Kardinal di seluruh dunia. Tahun 1858, Bunda Maria menampakan diri kpd Bernadette ( yang jenasahnya juga masi segar dan utuh) di Lourdes dan mengatakan " Akulah yang dikandung tanpa dosa" dan that was the beginning of the Lourdes' greatest holy water and it really has holy power.

It's just unbelieve, at least for me, knowing that many of the non-Catholic people are against the existence of Saint Mary and many of them are also denying that Saint Mary is one of the holy people. How come a pastor (non Catholic) ever said that Mary was actually a slut?? Oh come on, She is Jesus's mom, He wouldn't find that kind of person to be His Mom. Or, let's just imagine how Jesus will be hurt, having His beloved mum being treated like that. Kay, use our common sense we all are being taught to be respectful with our mum, you should be ashamed if you're not being respectful to Jesus's mum.

Let's have a look on Luke 1:26-35

Now in the sixth month the angel Grabiel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth. To a virgin bertrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary. HAving come in, the angel said to her," Rejoice, highly favoured one, the Lord is with you; BLESSED ARE YOU AMONG WOMEN!" but when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was. Then the angel said to her ," Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favour with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His Father David. And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever and of His kingdom there will be no end. Then Mary said to the angel," How can this be, since I do not know a man?. And the angel answered and said to her ," THE HOLY SPIRIT will come upon you and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.

Hey, I'm not saying that Catholics worship Saint Mary. We never worship Mary on the altar, not on the mass. We have special prayers and devotion to Mary but not on the altar, not even once. Have you ever seen us, Catholics; put any of Mary's statue or anything on the altar? nah, never. Just be respectful to our Mum, kk?

the worst movie ever: QUARANTINE.

Last night, we (me and Jon) had just watched the worst movie ever and I warn you all not to ever watch QUARANTINE. EVER. We fought the night before, choosing which movie to be watched. I wanted either Australia or 007 (again) and he chose Quarantine and since he doesn't like any dramas but he also doesn't want (to watch) 007 so QUARANTINE is the one. I DID lose and he DID win. I didn't want to watch any horror movie, I'm a loser, I'm a chick. so, we fought again about this movie. hahaha. but he's still a winner. okay, let's watch this movie.

It turned the movie was digusting, super yuck, didn't make sense and made me dizzy. Jon also shook his body for the entire movie, he was also scared. huahuahauhaua. I kept telling him that he's not allowed to choose any movie again. never. I remember a guy talking to his friends at the end of the movie, " I'm not gonna watch this kind of movie again, EVER, this movie sucks"

Well, on the way back home. I forced him to a DVD rental to rent a stupid comedy movie to make my day better. At least that horrible movie wouldn't be stuck on my head.

Now I DO win and he DOES lose. I'm the one who'll choose the movie. See, who's being punished? hihihihihihi

clues

tantrums

There were lots of ups and downs in my life, lots of dramas. But, this is the time that all I want to do is to cuddle under my mom's arms. Suddenly, I feel like a 2 year old baby. I'll have my very own tantrums if something doesn't go well with my plans. This is bad, worse than ever. I need much much extra care, I'll get my way to be noticed. and this is not me. Hopefully it'd be gone by next week. I feel bad to Jon, as long as mum's not here, he took all my tantrums. huh, it's not easy loving me.

Ah, all I want for Christmas is mum. and her cook.

blank

I just got too many choices and not even a decision has been made.
Having too many choices is not always a good thing, apparently.

I still love my old and boring Perth though

Even though I love Melbourne and its food but I love Perth more. hahahaha. no idea why. I always love and hate Perth
at the same time but I'm always homesick to Perth.

The two things I love about Melbourne was my old friends and the cafes.
