how do you measure ?
So my sister's wedding was over, December 17' 2011.
Having been into much of wedding party, and having the privilege to be the organizer / helper in some of them, being human we tend to compare the wedding we went through. Also, we (read I) tend to be selfish in the sense I always hope for my family member & those friends whose wedding I helped is smooth & successful.
So how do we measure the success of my sister's wedding ? As I'm her sister, my answer would mostly be biased here.
Let's see:
The preparation :
Before the wedding day, baju gua dikritik sama my mom & my sis and they keep asking me to buy new dress which was so last minute. Buat tenangin dia orang, gua pergi ke TA, find some dresses, ga nemu, and then decided to stand on my ground buat ga beli new dress. Stick to my decision.
Also, gua udah leave dari tanggal 12 Dec, while my sis cuman mulai leave dari kamis on Dec 15. In that short time span dia harus kejar sana sini, en selesaiin video sendiri using my Macbook. Cool, I never even make any video using Imovie/ Iphoto. She completed all and even teach me how to use IDVD as well. Cuman yah itu: the timing is so mephet. Thank God selesai.
Taking everything into consideration, I say the preparation is okay. We've done all we could and... que sera sera.
As for my sis & leo, they received lots of praises for taking care of everything about the wedding themselves. Ga nyusahin. Lucunya they got critics for rejecting parents funding. Mereka insist on funding the wedding themselves, and parents di Indo pada protes. well ....?!?!?! speechless abit.
The Holy Matrimony, Saturday December 17' 2011 : 11 AM. Annex building.
Have I told you how happy I was to hear the best news this year that dede gua udah join gereja, JPCC ga nanggung nanggung, and after years of her pending her faith confirmation, she finally get baptized taon ini, officiated by none other the father of gembala JPCC Pst. Jeffrey Rahmat, and above all : accepted and sanctified by one and only GOD ?
For many years I waited, sometimes giving up, to hear the good news and this year semuanya Tuhan kerjakan dengan baik dan sempurna. So buat ngeliat dede gua bisa jalanin wedding ala Holy Matrimony-an gereja instead of makan tok..... I feel SO BLESSED to witness the wedding, and to see my parents taste the goodness of His grace.
Even happier to know that they are planted in JPCC, udah join date, udah ikutin semua aturan panjang persyaratan nikah JPCC (seriously : kudos for their persistence), and to know that the wedding is blessed by Pst. Jose Carol whom I personally favored & respect.
Best part : I have my relatives came, mostly are not believers yet, but at the end of the holy matrimony we saw tears everywhere on every girls and guys (my cousins & uncles are crying)
So I guess : it's one score of success for the Holy Matrimony.
The dinner : 17 December 2011 : Upper room annex building. 7PM onwards
Overall I say :
1. Family members are VERY happy & entertained.
2. MC is good. Dede gua hire Ferly dari stasiun TV mana gua jg kagak ngerti...yg udah sering dipake for his company event. Yg pasti dia profesional, bagus en manteb, warna bajunya aja sampe masuk ke decor, sampe semua pada minta contact si Ferly en pada mo foto2.
3. Band is spectacular. Fantastic. The singer, the songs, the grand piano... woots :) good :) Dede gua sewa some band yg perform dari Nikko hotel on live show every monday. Sekali lagi gua ga tau show yg mana.
4. Baju gua received lots of praises on the day itself ...heheheheh ..untung gua ngotot not to buy new one. Thank you El for recommending Rani. And I've relearnt another lesson that sometimes, you just have to stick to what you believe regardless what the world say, when you know that it's something right & good. It's not what they think that matters, it's how standing in the right ground made you feel, that's what matters.
Also another lesson: parents don't always know best. And I know from the long history of my mom buying or choosing some clothes design for me, that she doesn't know best. Sometimes a hit, sometimes a miss. Tapi biasa mothers, they always think they know best. Spt halnya dlm baju gua dimana dia ngotot luar biasa for me to make/ buy new dress. Well I stick to my ground.
5. Baju dede gua seh ..... va va voom lah hoh. The designer is her high school friend who designed one of dresses worn by Lady Gaga for her photoshoot in harper's bazaar. Google aja namanya : Tex Saverio. Gua sempet ketemu dia sekali doang less than 1 minute, and yup : dia beneran keliatan keluar dari some Manga book :P so animetic.
Banyak yg berentiin dede gua pas lg siang2 foto di hotel buat numpang foto sama dia en bajunya :P Pas dinner, banyak yg nunggu dia turun panggung buat foto sama dia, sambil nanya nanya designer nya siapa. She hired a very good make up artist yg bikin dia cakep bener. Thank God dia share make up artistnya sama gua :P eheheheh thank you De :P
6. General feedback on food was super fantastic. My cousin's fiance, Rachel the Korean girl terus2an dateng ke gua siang en malem just to say : Melissa , food is SUPER GOOD !! I love it..
7. Timing is of the essence and they didn't start too late and didn't end that early either. At the end of the reception we saw alot of ppl staying late just to enjoy the party, and keep taking pics with the couple.
Really overall-ly successful in my own limited WO-ing experience view. WO yg dede gua sewapun do a very good job. Team-nya jg manteb.
So I say overall : it's a successful wedding party with lil bit of small minor hiccups here and there which is normal and make the day unforgettable.
But is that how we measure the success of a wedding ?
The dress, the food, the number of guests, the photos, the make up, the band ?
Which bring us to the sermon that Pst. Jose brought in the morning.
Dia cerita about his wedding. It was in 1998, year of riots. Jadi pendetanya telat 3 jam datengnya karena ketunda penutupan jalan. Sound systemnya sewa 2, yg dateng cuman 1 set, so harus dipindah pindah dari ruang holy matrimony ke ruang wedding. By the time the wedding is started in the evening, itu udah jam 8.30 akibat ke drag sama telatnya holy matrimony en akibat sound systemnya yg baru selesai set up. Undangan yg nongol cuman setengah dari yg diundang coz ppl masih trauma sama riots, and then by the time 8.30 PM udah kesisa temen2 Pst and wife only, which is 300 an orang doang. Sekitar 500 an orang are the parents invite and they have went home.
His wedding was a mess. But is his marriage in a mess ? Definitely not.
So he told my sis en husband (now) : your marriage doesn't depend on the success of your wedding. And the success of your wedding doesn't determine the success of your marriage.
What so good about a successful wedding but a train wreck marriage life ? Good thing about wedding is probably ang pao cuan (kata si Pst.)
So is my sis wedding a success ? Given everything that I saw and the feedback from people during the night, I say it is.
Her marriage however, we just have to wait and see, while praying and blessing them with strength and hope and understanding to go through it all till the end, till it last a lifetime.
a happy sis {=^o^=}

rambut
gua smoothing rambut gua kemaren
coz udah ga tahan sama rambut panjang gua yg susah dilurusin, en kl dibiarin keriting yg bener cuman bagian bawahnya doang. Yg atas udah acak adut kagak jelas, plus keriting itu amat sangat merontokkan rambut sodara2..... so gua decide buat lurusin dulu sambil jaga kesehatan rambut biar lebat ....
potong jg...belon potong sependek yg gua mau coz gua pikir potong pendekannya nanti aja di SG :P potong ini biar liberating benernya
tapi....GUA GA SUKA HASILNYAAAAAA......
huaaa kembalikan rambut keriting gua
udah gua bilang sama mbaknya jangan lurus2....udah bilang mbak ga usah catok2an lagi...jangan lama2 kasih obatnya...udah sampe bediri diri ingetin dia udah waktunya cuci...
capek deh...kuciwa daku kuciwaaa.....
bener2 laen kali bonding di Singapore aja deh
I did once in Singapore, it took less than 2 hours, painless, and the result is fantastic
benernya tadi masih mo bonding di SG cuman pikir besok kan I'm rushing with time to get everything done before travelling. So I decided to do it in Indo. Half price of SG anyway.
I did many times in indo wkt msh zama kuliah, the result is always flat hair, and it took me more than 3 hours sitting my butt in salon. Though cheap.
Points taken. next time, ga usah ngirit.
Go for the best.
huaaaa

random things in this short span of time
So I'm back home sabtu lalu Dec 10.
Next day I went to JPCC with my sis and bro in law to be in less than 1 week time.
Guess who served the PW that day ? GBI Rock Ambon :P hahahha ;)
Lagu yg dia orang bawa to open the Worship is : Sembah Dia 4X.
Followed with songs that some I know, some I didn't, but overall I felt (yg diconfirm with my sister too) like coming home .... GBI :P hahahahah:) My sis said yg JPCC bengong....ga biasa sama GBI style. While me there, is awed sama suara2 indah rekan2 GBI Ambon and the presence of God we experienced that day :) Mereka pelayanan ke 4 hari itu, there is still one more, and they are still SO powerfull.
Yup... I felt like coming home. haha :P
And so that was Sunday dan gua tidak menyia nyiakan waktu dan kesempatan yg ada di stiap saat buat cari makanan Indo yg gua suka.
So on Saturday evening when I landed gua minta nyokap beli Martabak telor :) Terus minggu siangnya gua minta titip Sekba (bebek Tim) then malemnya gua dinner sama dede gua after church di Pepenero : my face Italian Restaurant yg kudu gua makan tiap kali I'm back in Indo. Terus senen quest berlanjut, gua minta nasi goreng & bihun goreng dahlia. Kemaren gua makan hachi2 di TA, then today udah ada bakmi, nasi Nci Medan dari K7 dulu, en Nasi padang on the way... MAKMUR abis !! busyet dah.... dan kawinan dede gua on the way sabtu ini... haih...
Tiap hari gua sempetin diri sit up push up plus planking demi melawan semua lemak jahat :P *erm..yah kl makannya gitu yah susah jg yah....* cuman gimana cara ngelawan makanan enak yg jarang2 mendarat di perut gua ini coba ? hohaoehoaho :P *alesan*
now on to other things:
I have some pretty humbling things coming home, where smua yg gua lakuin, pilih, dan sukai kembali jadi hal2 yg kurang dimata keluarga gua.... well you heard the word before : family is you best critics (but it may lead to some other not so good things as we all know)
So yah anyway : gua bikin baju buat dede gua yang gua suka, but my family smua protes bilang ga suka... haih sedih. Sekarang gua lagi dipaksa cari baju baru dalam waktu sekejap, spend some money again, and fact that body gua bukan body indonesia biasa (alias kata bengkak kl ukuran Indo)....ga segampang itu buat masuk ukuran L tok. All gamble, kadang muat kadang kagak :P...
So itu satu yg kurang di mata keluarga gua.
Then kemaren gua bantu nyokap isi raport mandarin. Dan kerjaan gua harus nulis huruf dari angka nilai mereka...
Contoh my mom nulis 100, nah gua tulis di kotak yg disediakan : SERATUS.
Bokap gua terus terusan kan cheong terus : kita ada 8 kelas Cie.... 8, sehari doang harus selesai..... gimana bisa ? Sementara gua sok pede : ada Cie Cie Pa...another hand to help, takut apa seh ?
Teruslah gua proceed buat bantu nulis huruf2 itu. Alhasil first attempt : langsung kena cela my mother, ini ga perfect ga bagus ga rapih ga ini ga itu dan ga ga ga lainnya... haih :P sedih lagi :P ahhahah :) there is nothing that's ever be perfect enough from what I do for my mom.... but I grew up with it so I'm used to be belittled and strong enough not to take the face value of her (or their) words, instead dig deeper to know that they are actually proud enough to have me..
oh intermezzo : to all the teacher friends out there who needs to fill up report card, salute dah sama kalian. Tangan gua sampe berasa mo copot semalem nulisin 3 kelas doang :P beh :P hari ini berlanjut my missery :P mana mata kunang2 pula :P ehuahueh :) but well.. I got a job to do :P
Back to the topic, friends if you have a choice, do teach your children with a mix of western and eastern value okay ? It's hard enough to be children of eastern culture where nothing you do is ever enough.
Kiyoko did remind me : don't be too hard on yourself girl. Give credits where it's due.
I like those line and I will hold it dearly.
But overall it's a good humbling experience after I lots of "victories" this year (from musical to DND to small lil competition for Xmas deco in the bank), I'm happy to know that I'm still not good enough. That way I know, I have BIG ROOMS to grow :)
sekian Indo report till this day....
now off to write some more raport and getting busy for my sis wedding prep.

random
nope I wasn't tag
tp ini lagi ga ada kerjaan en belon mo tidur
so here we go...iseng2 ngisi things yg udah di tag earlier by El & Gill *sambil melatih muter kepala mikirin jawaban hal2 ginian......susah sodara2*
Rules:
1. Link back the person who gave you this award
2. Share 7 random things about yourself
3. Answer the favorite question
4. Award this to 7 blogger
7 Random things about me:
#1 I never felt pretty, always want & put effort to be pretty, and always wonder what would I be if I'm born pretty.
#2 I REFUSE (caps lock intended)to eat seafood & chili for the first 19 years of my life....at all. No fish, shrimps, crabs, lobster, especially not clam/ oysters. I started eating sea food & chili when I land in Singapore. I would say I can eat them, but I don't love love them.
#3 In my parallel imaginative world : I see myself as an American living in New York, can dance bend & shake like nobody's business, can sing & scream well like Lea Michelle, and living a career as pro dancer, actress, director / producer in LA & Broadway, and E news office is my usual business interview place :P hehehe speak about some dream :P
#4 I love classical music, choir, Disney movies & music, Jazz & blues. It gives you that kind of feeling that you are somewhere chic & high end, comforting & soothing, or that u're just somewhere in USA (when I hear blues)....en anyway classical music's complexity is good for your brain.
#5 My favorite movie when I was young : Sound of music. My fave activity : play piano, dance, sing edelweis, and act the so long farewell part before went up to my old house 2nd floor and pretended to be asleep.
#6 I used to refuse to go to spa because I don't like the idea of people massaging your body when u are lying down with just disposable panties on your body...and I hate to fork out the pricey cost...
#7 Of all animal : I hate snake the most
Questions:
Name your favorite color: anything BLUE off course !! greenish blue & purplish blue
Name your favorite songs: Too many. But one song I strike me the most when I first heard it : We could be in love by Lea Salonga & Brad Kane.
Name your favorite dessert: too much choice, but I welcome cheese cake any day.
What is annoying to you? Unreasonable rich snobbish egotistical good for nothing people who look down on others and worship money as king of everything, parading their branded life & lazy ass.
When you are upset you: most of the time just keep quiet. Unless I'm really really upset, which by then I will run while crying, just wandering around the streets, along the river .....to talk to God and calm my heart.
Your favorite pet: Don't wanna have pet. Chinchilla & puppies are cute but I'll never ever have pets.
Your biggest fear: 3 actually : that one day I walk away from His love forgetting all that He's done for me, that I'll never get married, and that my family don't get saved.
My best feature: I never know... physically : what I like is my teeth that's straight without having to put braces, and my lips. But I think my best feature should be about my behaviour or personality...and on that I say : I like how I love to be neat & clean.
My everyday attitude: life is shrt, why so serious ?
What is perfection: Jesus.
Guilty pleasure: I can tell u but I need to kill u after that :P
*aih capek jawabin ginian euy*
go ahead and take the challenge guys
tp ini lagi ga ada kerjaan en belon mo tidur
so here we go...iseng2 ngisi things yg udah di tag earlier by El & Gill *sambil melatih muter kepala mikirin jawaban hal2 ginian......susah sodara2*
Rules:
1. Link back the person who gave you this award
2. Share 7 random things about yourself
3. Answer the favorite question
4. Award this to 7 blogger
7 Random things about me:
#1 I never felt pretty, always want & put effort to be pretty, and always wonder what would I be if I'm born pretty.
#2 I REFUSE (caps lock intended)to eat seafood & chili for the first 19 years of my life....at all. No fish, shrimps, crabs, lobster, especially not clam/ oysters. I started eating sea food & chili when I land in Singapore. I would say I can eat them, but I don't love love them.
#3 In my parallel imaginative world : I see myself as an American living in New York, can dance bend & shake like nobody's business, can sing & scream well like Lea Michelle, and living a career as pro dancer, actress, director / producer in LA & Broadway, and E news office is my usual business interview place :P hehehe speak about some dream :P
#4 I love classical music, choir, Disney movies & music, Jazz & blues. It gives you that kind of feeling that you are somewhere chic & high end, comforting & soothing, or that u're just somewhere in USA (when I hear blues)....en anyway classical music's complexity is good for your brain.
#5 My favorite movie when I was young : Sound of music. My fave activity : play piano, dance, sing edelweis, and act the so long farewell part before went up to my old house 2nd floor and pretended to be asleep.
#6 I used to refuse to go to spa because I don't like the idea of people massaging your body when u are lying down with just disposable panties on your body...and I hate to fork out the pricey cost...
#7 Of all animal : I hate snake the most
Questions:
Name your favorite color: anything BLUE off course !! greenish blue & purplish blue
Name your favorite songs: Too many. But one song I strike me the most when I first heard it : We could be in love by Lea Salonga & Brad Kane.
Name your favorite dessert: too much choice, but I welcome cheese cake any day.
What is annoying to you? Unreasonable rich snobbish egotistical good for nothing people who look down on others and worship money as king of everything, parading their branded life & lazy ass.
When you are upset you: most of the time just keep quiet. Unless I'm really really upset, which by then I will run while crying, just wandering around the streets, along the river .....to talk to God and calm my heart.
Your favorite pet: Don't wanna have pet. Chinchilla & puppies are cute but I'll never ever have pets.
Your biggest fear: 3 actually : that one day I walk away from His love forgetting all that He's done for me, that I'll never get married, and that my family don't get saved.
My best feature: I never know... physically : what I like is my teeth that's straight without having to put braces, and my lips. But I think my best feature should be about my behaviour or personality...and on that I say : I like how I love to be neat & clean.

and again....at terminal 2
crazy how time flies when you are enjoying life to your fullest..
just like how 2011 has been for me... it way surpassed whatever best year I've ever had....
and the funniest part is.... I declare this as the best year of my life when in actual, my bank account is in it's slimest condition ever since I started to work in 2004.
So what does it says here ? Is that life can be great without money to worry about ... :P hehehehe :P ga penting..
anyway back in terminal 2 about to fly back to Indo for my sister wedding
in the beginning of the year I made resolution to be skinny babe by the time my sister is getting married.... hhhhhh..... resolutions...resolutions... unless I make sure to sign up to a gym membership and find the hottest personal trainer who is single straight available and also looking for long term commitment, plus a christian, not a womaniser, can cook and have a good sense of humour, I'm pretty sure that I'll not lose this weight coz that kind of personal trainer does not exist.... unless they are hollywood actress...
anyway ga penting lagi ... yah gitulah nungguin boarding...u have nothing much to do so ... you blog :P *better than spending my fortune away to another Marc Jacobs perfume : Daisy, that smells pretty damn nice and pretty freaking expensive and will just be another collection of my sweet aroma in my room... forgotten... so....yeah....blogging is better*
point is (do we have any?) ... yeah...point is : I do not manage to achieve losing weight for my sis wedding, I'm back to size 0...with size 0 meaning my original size...not the real size 0 like Fenny Lo size....
but anyway... who cares ? I am HAPPY with my size as long as I dont see that much of double chin and making sure that I eat right..
I am happy when food enters my mouth and taste good... this tounge that can taste is one of God's amazing gift anyone ever have...so u know what ? ... I love food, I accept me the way I am with my fats curve and extra everywhere....I am in charge of my body... and I'll deal with this body when I'm not happy with the way it makes me feel...
Right now : I am just happy...
happy that my sister is getting married
happy that she took the pressure off me a lil bit
happy that I have AMAZING GOD
happy that I live
and happy...that I live...in abundance of God's everlasting love..

what in the name of 24 ?
24 Nov 11 AM
So I arrived at office, entered into lift. Met some colleagues inside. First girl greeted me congrats for the performance last week. The other colleagues were talking. When we joined the conversation, the she told me that they were talking abt her dress. Let's say her name is ES. Turns out ES has the same dress as DB, and they both knew. So the other colleagues reminded her to go and text DB not to wear the same dress today. All of the girls are going down at 7th floor, while I'll go down at 10th floor. When the lift door opened at 7th floor, guess who's standing outside ?
Who else ? DB !! ES and the rest were so shocked and straight away she told DB "OMG, we're just talking about u. U have this dress right ? Wanted to tell u not to wear dress"
Cannot stand: I said to them : what are u both talking ? You girls are wearing the same dress what ?
Next thing u know they were screaming, laughing, promise to avoid each other, en make appointment to buy 4D !!!!! Untill one uncle in the lift laugh laugh. What a way to start a day !!!!!!
Then at 10 sth, my phone rang. Usual sales number. I picked up still. Answered with my lazy tone, the girl were quite shock to hear my ignore rant tone. Next thing I heard her saying OCBC. So my natural reaction as usual : sorry not interested, hang up.
And to my crisis, the number kept calling, and I kept rejecting, silencing, and getting more and more pissed, wondering: why is she so persistent ? Wah laooooo
She even called using her mobile# that I ignore. I almost wanted to text her (and I alsos thought) : do I owe her money ? Why she kept calling? I never had any dealing with OCBC anyway.
Thank God I never SMS back, coz she finally SMSed and told me that she's calling from peach garden OCBC to confirm my reservation at 1.30PM, and that she's NOT (typed in caps lock) selling anything. Hahahahahhahaha so malu, I apologized many2 time and explained that I had very bad experience with cold call thus my reaction. I found out her name and called the line back to say sorry. When I reached there, I look for her and say sorry again (to avoid anyone spat on my food).
Ahhahhahahhahhahaha fail !!!!! So malu !!!! What a 24 !!!!

into make up
yup
gw belon ceritain about last week
the historical 17 Nov 2011, the one that signifies a truly new beginning of my 8 years journey in office.....
intinya Puji Tuhan kita menang the group competition within our internal Department.... we being the legendary Kikoko (bukan nama sebenarnya) and moi.
more on that on next blog.. gua ngutang banyak benernya.....dari cerita nginep di MBS bulan July (en bulan November) kemaren, sampe si talent time inih... emang gua blogger kurang motivasi neh.. hehehe :P ada award blogger malesh ga ? boleh di nubuatkan ke gua...
karena gua bukan blogger inactive (yg tenggelam sebulan - 2 bulan sebelon nongol lagi)....ataupun super active blogger seperti tante Gillian Sastra en Tante Elrica :) .....tp gua blogger sesuka ati guaaa.. hahaah:P intinya seh blogger mood moodan.... more into mood *ah malesh ah ngeblog hari ini*
ANYWAY BUSWAY KETEMU SUBWAYYYY...... gw lagi ketepa El neh... jadi rajin make up... gelora jiwa terpendam dari kecil yg tiba2 bergejolak gitu kencengnya...
bisa jadi gara2 gua udah harus train my hands again karena banyak wedding depan mata en makin hari gua makin ga percaya tangan orang lain to do make up on my face selain tangan2 seperti Wi In, tangan gua...or tangan orang yg udah gua liat hasil kerja Fabulousnya seperti El :)
selipan comment : mata peacock loe seh El..... GILEEEE !!!! Aye jatoh cintrong sama si mata PEACOCK...kuereeennnn ...sayang gua ga bisa pake mata peacock on people's wedding :P AHHAHAHAH :) or not even on my own wedding... HAUEHAUHEUAUAHEUH :P *bisa jadi I don't instead of I do... or maybe ..Do I ?*
So anyway gua ngerasa I need to train my hands again, karena makin hari makin berasa rusty doing make up.... eh benernya mah gua memang ga terlatih seh make up make up an .... cara pake base foundation yg bener gitu semua....gua cuman tau satu : PAKE FEELING AJA :P ahhahahah :P paling kayak ngelukis di muka gitu... muka jadi canvas...tangan jadi kuas... eye shadow jadi color tube...air jadi oil nya :P
mungkin diliat orang kadang2 ada yg bilang hasilnya bagus.... tapi kl dia orang tau teknik gua seh...maybe geleng2 kepala in disapproval :P
yah anyway dalam keisengan gua mampirlah gua ke Daiso, liat make up murah (semuanya 2 dollar kan anyway ? ahhahah) tangan gatel...beli lah gua... recently gua lagi very much into shading yg bikin muka khurus :P en gua berasa Gatot in this field... alias gagal total !! jadi gua mo belajar teknik shading yg benar.....hebatnya belajarnya bukan cari youtube....tapi maksa pake teknik spt biasa and again....feeling :P
yah kl ada waktu gua pasti ke rumah El belajar teknik make up yg baik dan benar sebelon datelinenya.
so inilah hasil iseng tangan gua di tengah malem jam 12 AM jg.. (bahaya ini kl inspirasi datengnya jam 12 malem tiap kali.. hahaha)
masih kurang berhasil neh....kurang kurus pipinya....
but anyway ... gua cukup bahagia dengan hasilnya en I've decided to go with this look for my morning session di gereja for my sis wedding. Natural look... tapi matanya agak2 serem ga ? hahahaha :P
gua cukup yakin bokap akan protes as usual : Jie.. mata jangan dibiruin, itemin Cie... kayak Batman. Mata kita udah sipit jangan tarik more attention ke mata sipit kita...cukup dikit merah2-in aja.... terimalah nasib mata sipit ..... *very encouraging Dad....very...*
okie that's all for tonite...
lastly : just to be clear : I am VERY into make up anytime actually... the very same girl who did not want to go to school unless her mother buy her a RED lipstick that she chose on her own, is still within me....
yup...I'm very into make up.... as long as the make up is not on me everyday :) just weekend or as and when I want it to be :) HEEE HEEE
I LOVE MAKE UP UHUY !!!

sebelas. sebelas. sebelas
di hari ke 11, bulan ke 11, taon 2011 ini
ane mo ngepost hal2 yg ga penting dari keluarga ane
topiknya mengenai kega(galan)tek(nologi)kan babe sama mak aye
jadi, kalau orang tua orang lain udah pake facebook, skype, email, whatsapp dari zamannya backstreet boys
my parents baru aja get in touch with technology. Itupun setelah my mother kepaksa harus open email account buat urusah ngajar mengajar bahasa mandarin nya.
Jadilah di satu malem gua terima email dari nyokap aye yg bikin gua surprised !!!!! WUEDEH... my mother punya email..and sending me email yg isinya luar biasa :
"test"
sekian.
Stelah 30 tahun gua idup, my mother akhirnya punya email, and the text only goes for " TEST "????????????????? {"--__--"} capek deh mak...
anyway, gua cukup bahagia si mak punya email. Sampe...... dede gua cerita proses pembuatan email tersebut (yg tentunya dikerjakan oleh dede gua instead of my parents).
Pertama : Mama mo pake nama apa Ma emailnya ?
Parents : sekian sekian sekian (censored maksudnya )@gmail.com
Dede : Okay sekarang password
Papa : Nah, passwordnya ini kita mesti bikin yg gampang inget nih, biar ga susah lupanya.
Dede : Lah kl terlalu gampang inget ga bagus Pa. Password itu harus susah biar ga gampang ditebak orang lain.
Papa : LOH ???? Justru biar gampang diinget orang lain dong De ? Makanya bikin yg gampang biar Papa bisa kasih tau temen2, jadi temen2 jg gampang ingetnya, gimana seh De ?
Dede : !@#$%^&*()_+)(*&^%$# @!#$%^&*()_+ ????????? Papa mo kasih password email kita ke temen Papa ngapain Pa ? Namanya jg password itu buat disimpen sendiri dong Pa.
Papa : HAH ? Lah temen Papa kl mo buka email yg Papa kirim ke dia, kan dia perlu password Papa De ? Emang bisa dia buka tanpa pake password kita ?
Dede : *tang ting tung teng tong Gubrax dags dugs digs jreng gombreng* {"--__--"} capek dehhhhh............
sekian cerita pembukaan email.
Sekarang soal password. Dasar parents emang ga gitu suka sama computer, cuman terpaksa belajar words sama excel buat persiapan pelajaran, gua pulang kali ini and my mom minta gua cekin emailnya.
Mama : Jie, bukain email mama dong Jie.... Cepetan ini mama lagi nunggu email dari si guru sekolahan.
me : *lagi baca komik males malesan di ranjang.....* hmmmm hah....
Mama : ayoh Jie...neh passwordnya mama kasih.... bla bla bla bla bla ... mama spell yah ... bla....bla...bla....
me : *terusik dari baca komik*.... apa Ma ? itu passwordnya ??? *ketawa gegulingan di ranjang sampe sakit perut* ......itu password mama ? mateng deh... ini si dede iseng ngerjain bikin password sampe norak gitu apa siapa seh yg nge joke banget passwordnya begituan ?
pertanyaan : apa menurut kalian password email bonyok gua ? cukup berpikir ala indonesian chinese parents, 60 - 65 years old, yg gatek en pengen password gampang (yg gua baru tau dari Dede gua, masih sering dilupain sama dia orang.....hebattttt )
{"-_-"} anak yg terhibur

about a very good, lost and found, very strong, changed friend
Thursday Nov 3' 2011 : 11.57 PM I received this sms :
K : Thank u for giving me the best gifts anyone cld ever give- the gift of new found confidence n excitement towards doing something tt I love( singing) n Tt I loved ( dancing).
Thank u Mel.
I m sry if I've hurt u in past. I admit I tend to get lazy at times wif friendship. Dun make enuf of am effort but jus so u Noe ALL of u in team A the old arms I mean all hold special meaning in my heart. Cos u guys saw me thru my ugliest, lousiest, weakest moment. In fact looking back I din cry Tt much Wen my dad died cos I wad too bz looking after mom n worrying to cry..
So THANK U FOR BEING THERE THEN N NOW. always told sis I Hv this group of special frens where tho we dun meet often we will ALWAYS b there for one another in time of need. And I meant it then n I mean it now. Always knew that I could count on u. Wen I stained my skirt.. Oops Tt was June haha n lost my contact lense rem?? I was still quite uncomfortable n new in team A n u helped me look thru the rubbish bin. I will never forget that. Love u Mel Mel.N thank u for .. Maybe helping me relight my love for dancing again. :)
and I replied this :
B : HahahahahahhaMy pleasure to be a blessing for ur life... HAHHAHAHAHAHAH
I noe u lah... That's why even when that happen i know u dont intentionally did it... And that's why I get over it....
If that's ur ugliest.. Then i can tell u this : IT'S NOT THAT UGLY !!!! don't think so badly on that period okay ? Anyone.. Who went through what u went u through..will do even MORE UGLIER things than what u did....
Fact that u LIVE....and living LIFE even more.... If I'm a writer, i want to write a bookabout ur life...
U are a living testimony of the good old story.. That it doesn't matter where u came from... It doesn't decide where u can go in life.....
God is good in ur life... And I want u to wait to see even more what God can do to you.. And THROUGH YOU !!!
Will give u bible verse .. Wait for it okay ?
Good nite... Good rest pls...
And for ur info... U put more effort in our frenship....If it's for me... We wouldn't be talking by now coz I wont bother to ask u lunch... Hahahhahaah
and she replied again:
K : Haha Wat Eva I like Ur company so I will still ask n wif u I can b myself. So yeah. TOO BAD!
A great teacher not only transfers knowledge, she's able to inspire her student. N u my fren has inspired me. :)
Thank u for Tt.N yes I will wait for the verse. :)
Uve come a long way urself too. Admire ur courage n independence. I cld never do Tt. Cldn survive hall already. Ha.N YOU at such a young age bought ur OWN PROPERTY wif YOUR OWN MONEY. Not parents BUT ur OWN MONEY hard earned n saved in a v disciplined manner over the yrs. So U SHD BE V PROUD of urself.
N of cos we wun be where we r without Him.Rest well too. Gd night my fren. God bless us all. :)
This is a blog entry about a friend named Kiyoko.
Some of original blessed version 1 would have heard about her, long way back to 2005. We first met in 2004, became colleague in the good old ARM days.
In '05, I told much of Blessed V1 about her struggle, having just broke up then. Like seen above in her SMS, it was her ugliest days. It wasn't pretty for sure.
So 2 girls sitting next to each other, both melancholy, both soft, both silly, both juniors, both have very differrent approach towards neatness (me neat, she likes to mess up my things, me very serious, she just like to pull a prank on me ), we blended. Blended quite well. If u ask me to point one closest colleagues who has turned into a good friend, I'll point to her. Hey 7 years of relationship (knew her since '04) goes a long way don't you think ?
But in actual, we've almost lost touch in between, with me being annoyed that she didn't really see how our relationship the way I saw our relationship. I knew that it was probably just me being sensitive, but me and my strong head in my sensitivity decided not to give a damn to mend the broken string.
I wasn't bitter, I didn't cry when I talked about our broken relationship then, and I never cry even till today. I just thought, hey I'll still be here when she needs me. She doesn't have to know how I feel about our relationship, but honestly I will not put in anymore effort in this thing. I won't ask for lunch, I won't email, I just will not do anything at all...anyway who cares ? right ?
Best thing about her, she never care about how I feel towards her :P *that should be bad right ?* but no. With that confidence, she always step back into my life with her usual way of annoying me, always try to guide me but fail, laugh at my clumsiness, making me laugh with her idiocracy, sharing good quotes, motivates each other to carry on with life coz it always goes on and it's meant to be lived beautifully in abundance, not knowing that I almost wanted to kill her :P hahahaha :P
Simply said: she went back bugging me for lunch right when I'm ready to write her off my "current friends that I foresee will be friends for life" list. Thank God, I did not stay being stubborn rejecting her lunch. What happen between us affirm my previous postings that things are not always what they seem to be.
When we make up, she found a better me, and I found a changed her. 7 years of life added in our age have definitely taught us some lessons to live this life with a better strategy.
But other than that, we're just the same 2 girls finding comfort in the good old friendship, and expanding it to new frienships along the way :)
And for things that you could never have thought and imagined before, she now believes in the living God. Attended Catholic church lunch mass, reading scriptures and downloading bible apps which SHOCKED me *but I tried not to show* when she told me. Her name is Kiyoko for a very good reason that she used to believe in Japanese Buddhism.
I have no part in this salvation works. I was even away from her life when it happened. God is the ONE and only GOD who cares about her. I just hoped whatever role I have played in her life, me and my weaknesses have done our best in shining His love to her :)
And for all that I know : The Kiyoko now is really a changed woman, then the girl name Kiyoko in 2004. I thanked God I've found back my best friend in my office, and thank Him for finding her back to His love.
to even hear this from her :
"There's one thing that I want us to do if we ever get through to final. I want us to pray before our performance"
and :
"remind me to pray before we practice later on "
and :
"Mel !!! We forgot to pray today !!! No wonder I can't seem to get it right. Can we pray now please ?"
is a sweet melody to my ears.
Thank you GOD for finding me, and letting me keep, a beautiful friendship with a living testimony of Your work. A very good friend indeed.
If you read this friend, please keep her in your prayer so one day she can openly attend a church service without any fear. She's still unable to do so.
And after hearing so much legend about her, David Chandra managed to finally meet the legendary Kiyoko on the day I decided to buy my home. They were there with me on the day I made the biggest decision in my life (so far). 2 persons I will invite on my home grande opening day, are both of them :) *Vid, RSVP open from now...hahahah*

N of cos we wun be where we r without Him.Rest well too. Gd night my fren. God bless us all. :)
This is a blog entry about a friend named Kiyoko.
Some of original blessed version 1 would have heard about her, long way back to 2005. We first met in 2004, became colleague in the good old ARM days.
In '05, I told much of Blessed V1 about her struggle, having just broke up then. Like seen above in her SMS, it was her ugliest days. It wasn't pretty for sure.
So 2 girls sitting next to each other, both melancholy, both soft, both silly, both juniors, both have very differrent approach towards neatness (me neat, she likes to mess up my things, me very serious, she just like to pull a prank on me ), we blended. Blended quite well. If u ask me to point one closest colleagues who has turned into a good friend, I'll point to her. Hey 7 years of relationship (knew her since '04) goes a long way don't you think ?
But in actual, we've almost lost touch in between, with me being annoyed that she didn't really see how our relationship the way I saw our relationship. I knew that it was probably just me being sensitive, but me and my strong head in my sensitivity decided not to give a damn to mend the broken string.
I wasn't bitter, I didn't cry when I talked about our broken relationship then, and I never cry even till today. I just thought, hey I'll still be here when she needs me. She doesn't have to know how I feel about our relationship, but honestly I will not put in anymore effort in this thing. I won't ask for lunch, I won't email, I just will not do anything at all...anyway who cares ? right ?
Best thing about her, she never care about how I feel towards her :P *that should be bad right ?* but no. With that confidence, she always step back into my life with her usual way of annoying me, always try to guide me but fail, laugh at my clumsiness, making me laugh with her idiocracy, sharing good quotes, motivates each other to carry on with life coz it always goes on and it's meant to be lived beautifully in abundance, not knowing that I almost wanted to kill her :P hahahaha :P
Simply said: she went back bugging me for lunch right when I'm ready to write her off my "current friends that I foresee will be friends for life" list. Thank God, I did not stay being stubborn rejecting her lunch. What happen between us affirm my previous postings that things are not always what they seem to be.
When we make up, she found a better me, and I found a changed her. 7 years of life added in our age have definitely taught us some lessons to live this life with a better strategy.
But other than that, we're just the same 2 girls finding comfort in the good old friendship, and expanding it to new frienships along the way :)
And for things that you could never have thought and imagined before, she now believes in the living God. Attended Catholic church lunch mass, reading scriptures and downloading bible apps which SHOCKED me *but I tried not to show* when she told me. Her name is Kiyoko for a very good reason that she used to believe in Japanese Buddhism.
I have no part in this salvation works. I was even away from her life when it happened. God is the ONE and only GOD who cares about her. I just hoped whatever role I have played in her life, me and my weaknesses have done our best in shining His love to her :)
And for all that I know : The Kiyoko now is really a changed woman, then the girl name Kiyoko in 2004. I thanked God I've found back my best friend in my office, and thank Him for finding her back to His love.
to even hear this from her :
"There's one thing that I want us to do if we ever get through to final. I want us to pray before our performance"
and :
"remind me to pray before we practice later on "
and :
"Mel !!! We forgot to pray today !!! No wonder I can't seem to get it right. Can we pray now please ?"
is a sweet melody to my ears.
Thank you GOD for finding me, and letting me keep, a beautiful friendship with a living testimony of Your work. A very good friend indeed.
If you read this friend, please keep her in your prayer so one day she can openly attend a church service without any fear. She's still unable to do so.
And after hearing so much legend about her, David Chandra managed to finally meet the legendary Kiyoko on the day I decided to buy my home. They were there with me on the day I made the biggest decision in my life (so far). 2 persons I will invite on my home grande opening day, are both of them :) *Vid, RSVP open from now...hahahah*

pulank
at T2 boarding gate E4, Changi Singapore
somehow, I like to post something while I'm at Changi alone, before flying off anywhere
yeah, pulank Indo for a good 1 week.
after experiencing another cousin's wedding, this time around.....closest cousin of us...Margie
very much mixed feeling kept deep in my memories...
and then gua pulang hari ini while all my aunties masih di SG...and they were asking me...
"Pulang ? Loh kok pulang ? kenapa pulang ? ada urusan ? Ga ada urusan ngapain pulang ?"
bingung gua jawabnya....in the first place bingung gua..... kenapa gua pulang orang2 heran ....
especially when they ask "kl ga ada urusan di Indo ngapain pulang?"
you know : there is 365 days in a year... out of that 365 days, I probably went home, to the max, 3 weeks in total that makes it good 21 days ? 21 days to meet, talk, share, *and argue sometimes* with my parents, enjoying the good days of being a child, or serving a good quality time as a child honoring parents, what's so weird with that ? ahhahahhahah...
really....I think 21 days out of 365 days a year, is not alot for a single girl, commitment free like me....to give to my parents...
and somehow gua cukup sedih jg.... I know they know how much I love Singapore, but come on, I'm not that detached to Indo either....*speaking of which kayaknya gua udah harus perpanjang SIM di indo...though ga nyetir as a good citizen gua masih punya en tetep perpanjang SIM all this while....see ?*
kok gua pulang Indo orang2 heran ? huuuu...
anyway : the reason why I go home is : I just need a good break
after musicals, wedding ...and another 4 project in the coming months waiting...
it's time to withdraw from the world and withdraw what's pouring from above
so see ya in a week
miss me...dont miss me... ur choice

one day
One day
on halloween 2011
me, david, owen
went to watch a movie
titled...
what else ?
"One day"
spoiler alert, felem ini quite draggy built up nya
but at the end the movie touched Owen, got David thinking, and made me lost for words quite a bit and then sleepless at nite...
intinya sama...it got me thinking...
thinking..... how painful it can be when you lost someone who has been that close to you, as close as husband and wife or lovers can be ?
gua .... thank God .... belon pernah rasain hal itu so far....
the closest to that feeling will be putus..betul ? dan gua jg belon pernah putus.... karena jadian aja belon... gimana putus ?
surely patah hati kagak bisa disamain sama the lost caused by death.....
if........just by watching a movie and see how close 2 human being can be, and then in less than 2 hours the built up of the movie made me fall in love to Anne's character named Emma, and then as expected she passed away suddenly and I felt the lost in my heart wanting her to be alive again, that it was just a twist, how then real lovers in real life ? Gimana coba rasanya keilangan ur lover ?
separation by death is indeed a very fearful powerful thing......that if we are not strengthen by Christ to move on........ life will be a sombre phase to live on....
belon jalanin....bayangin aja....gua cukup shaken... so jgn dibayangin now frens.......
if one day it has to come, grace and strength to carry on will be sufficient to us in Christ alone
right now..... let's just ..... LOVE & LIVE LIFE

D & D-1
That's what we called Sep 30 and Oct 1st' 2011......Been wanting to blog on what happen on D-1 and D day...... if there were most memorable moments nomination on MP journey.... these 2 days are definitely in, together with Dancers audition days, 1st Practice @ Beck's home, the first combined opening dance & music @ OHGS, the day when I finally cry it all @ OHGS, the mass dance practice on last Sunday Sep 25th, and last practice @ MPS
but for now : D-1 and D day wins them all, and here's what happen
D-1 : 30 September 2011
I took whole day leave. At first I need to arrive by 9 AM @ ACJC. But thank God, by Andri's grace he allowed me to arrive @ 10.00 AM.
Tetep gua bilang ke Andri that I'll try to come earlier than 10. But in the end, due to too much packing and preparation for D day, I slept late, got up late to a beautiful rainy day which should make me even harder to wake up supposedly, but due to much of the stress level I woke up just nice to make it to ACJC @...... 9.50 AM (later than what I promised earlier....around 9.30)
When I reached AC, anak2 props udah pada sampe semua lengkap sama SEMUA props on stage, demikian pula baju2 udah ada sampe.... salut sama dia orang.....pagi ajeee sampenya....wow....
Tp gara2 gua buru2 pagi itu, en coz of the woman's date that's getting nearer to my calendar, gua sakit perut sepanjang taxi. So gitu nyampe ACJC, say hi hi bentar.....taroh tas, and then gua langsung cari WC. Tapi ga dibuka.... panick.... gua cari si OM ACJC Shawn... minta dia bukain WC...
My first thing that I do in ACJC ? Boker :P ahhahahhah :p gw udah mo sms Gill, laporan kl sekali dateng gua udah mark teritory di tempat ini... by blessing them with my human pupuk. Parah :P ...
Gitu keluar dari WC, gua langsung disambut Glenn Mykey Venessa yg super high energy... they welcome me with CICI ..why u look so tired...... lah orang baru boker..... mana bokernya sampe melilit bener itu perut....gimana kagak lemesh ya tampang gua ? ahhahha
And .... sementara gua lemesh, they kept being so energized. By the time gua balik ke theatre, barang2 props di stage udah cukup ilang, and Andri & directors at AV room are trying on pre recorded songs like dugem and MRT. Shandy & Shella juga udah nyampe...
Since para directors in AV room played a lil bit of lighting on the stage..... Ga ba bi bu... dancers take on the stage (whatever area left for us to dance) and practice some moves. Kaki gua masih sakit by then so I do a little bit extra of warming up :) .... the rest of the dancers just move along the music while they were played.....en it seems like it kept on playing on loop.... capek jg benernya pagi2 langsung overdrive :P ......but Glenn.... was on HIGH energy ...
By the time they stopped with all the songs, we figure out we have nothing to do at theatre, so gua bawa dancers2 yg udah dateng ke bawah to show them backstage and tell them the dancers space. Waktu kita sampe di bawah, wardrobe crew were hanging up all the clothes to the hangers. Since my dancers were just sitting down doing nothing and wardrobe crew were left with 2 ppl hanging aaaaalllllllllll those clothes, gua minta (i.e merintah kali yah....hahahahha) dancers there to help hang all the clothes. With 5 additional man power added, kita berhasil gantung semua baju dengan cantik, arrange them in the girls name & dancing order, even sampe park the shoes nicely under the clothes. And then gua bilangin dancers lagi to chop their own mirror space and park our stuffs in our territory. Terus gua minta tolong Nessa & Shella to post dancers rule & blocking in dancers room.
By the time we did all of that it was already 12.20 PM.
Lunch break was supposed to be from 1 - 2 PM, tapi gua request ke Andri to release us early so we can come back early too. Since beneran dancersnya dah pada bengong....and what we do when we bengong ? most of the time..........langsung kagak focuss......
So we go for lunch by 12.30 PM. Kita makan di canteen nya AC. Dasar makanan skolah murah banget, Shandy ordered : chicken chop with wedges, nasi padang, and some more food. Gua makan nasi padang for 2.30 only.... nice !!! Milo peng was another legendary drink there and it's super shiok !! 1 bottle (600ml) for just 1.20......shiokkk :P
After the eating spree, shandy me shella nessa (mykey & glenn milih tidur di theatre instead of makan since dia orang udah makan paginya) balik ke theatre and I straight away head to dressing rooms with the girls to put on make up and do hair.
Soon other dancers slowly arrived. Gill nyampe and again the first thing she did....spray dressing room with her Cherry blossom perfume...... and then she did what I first did : boker !!!!! Wakakakaakaka. Buat mencegah wangi2 yg ga enak...dia bawa si perfume ke kamar mandi and semprot semprot disana.... Nah ini yg seru.... kita punya 2 shower room & 2 toilet in each of the dressing room. Tapi .....ada tapinya... ga ada pintu gede buat si toilet.... :P jadi toiletnya lumayan open concept.... whauheuaueaea....so kl boker yah ati2 aja deh sama baunya... pasti kena berkat harumnya dah yg kesisa di dressing roomnya .... hahhah
Dressing roomnya sendiri, yg kebagi 2 for girls & guys, ada 19 mirror on each room. Since dancers gua cuman 14 coz Jennita & Shandy itung cast juga, kebayang dong luxury kita yg ada EXTRA 5 mirror ? heheheheh :) and one LONG & BIG mirror di samping gantungan baju yg spaciousssssssssssssss.....honestly...AC lumayan ciamik lah backstagenya.... en each room is equipped with 2 TV to show what's going on at stage, and the best part...audionya nyala... :) ahhaah :) we didnt have such luxury during Naboeng :P
Anyway, waktu bergulir and dancers2 lain : Selvy, Daisy, Jenny, Jen Tjung (who skipped her class) mulai berdatengan around 2 PM. Gitu sampe, semua dancers I ask them to put on make up and do hair right away. Jen Tjung di bantuin sama Nessa yg sampe ngambil posisi tiduran ala cleopatra di dressing table just to help Jen with her make up..... hahahahah......saking keasikan dia orang sempet break satu bohlam di dressing tablenya.... buru2 kita buang tuh bohlam, and Nessa took picture of the moddle and series buat ganti exactly the same bohlam the next day. Sambil dandan, miss Gill yg doyan bener music ( gua notice dari taon ini waktu kita leaders retreat, Mrs Praptana suka geber music pake HP nya di pagi2.......ahhahhha) minta diputerin lagu sambil kita dandan. Ga tanggung2 gua puterin....BURLESQUE theme songs.... ciss...... darah showmanship dancers pada gua bakar pake lagu gituan....berasa beneran di dressing room kayak pelem2 (aih norak)...make up pada berani tebel semua langsung... HAHAHAHA....
By 15.30 PM kita udah pada siap with hair & make up and Jawa costume, and director udah minta kita mulai with practice on stage
The practice was kind of detaileeeeeeddddddddddd ajehhhh........so much so detailed that latian buat babak 1 doang went aaaaallllllll the way to 6.30 pm. Although by then semua dancers udah dateng....(was quite happy with the early arrival of them) We still have not touched on act 2 yet and we still dreamed on running full dress rehearsal...
Nah kl udah latian gini... kita most of the time pasti ada timeline nya dunk ? en kl based on Naboeng..timeline kita pasti LARI semua.... alias kata let's play by ear di hari H nya nanti.... kl menurut timeline...by jam 2 - 6 kita udah harusnya selesai lighting & blocking practice.... en then kita dinner and straight away full run...
but see where we where then at 6.30 PM ? gua cukup yakin saat itu kl kita ga bakal run full dress again this time around... like .. mana mungkin cuy with our musical being longer than Nasi Boengkoes ?
So by then, with stomach starts growling, food was no where to be smell, and Act 2 untouched , if u ask me I am super pessimistic that we can clean a full dress rehearsal that day and get out by 11.00 PM.
But gua salut sama siapapun jg yg come out with the next action plan...... manteb !!!
Directors release us by 6.30 PM for dinner, to come back by 7.05PM. Dinner kita was not packed per box so kita mesti ngantri lagi buat ambil makanan, another frustration of mine. I hands on and help shove the rice then continue to eat with thunder speed, we did our best to finish asap... but in the end kita mulai2 lagi sekitar 7.15 PM.
Terus Andri's kasih direction : we'll practice act 2 till 7.50 PM, secepatnya.... By 7.50 PM we'll go down dressed up, and at 8 PM, we'll run FULLY Full dress rehearsals NON STOP like the actual day.
Pessimist tetep kl kita bisa mulai jam 7.50 PM. True enough, kita mulai full dress rehearsals at 8.10 PM. When the full dress rehearsal start, that's when I start to feel a little disbelief that hey..... we are running full dress rehearsal..... literally running it NON STOP just like how it's gonna be tomorrow, just exactly what we need to do right here....right now !!!! WOW .... sedikit serrrrr.... we are running....wooo :p something we missed to do on our 1st musical trial..... kl kata principalnya Glee seh : Achievement ?!?!?!?! ehhehehehe :) indeed it was a betterment
When we run the full dress, ada beberapa usher & crew lain yg duduk nonton. Iot was there taking pictures .... GREAT pictures I must say... aih Iot ane mah bangga punya temen kayak loe ;) heuehauheu :) biar kata kursi2 pada kosong.....lumayan berasa gimana rasanya tomorrow will be....
Selama full dress berlangsung, though kita harus ganti baju back stage and for that harus naek turun tangga, I dont feel the urgent pressing need of time... berasa kayak normal latian di MPS aja....waktunya jalan normal2......
contrary to Nasi Boengkoes yg waktu latian aja kita udah HEBOH hectic bener ganti bajunya dikejar kejar waktu and space ....dont say on D day... haywire.... kl sepatu aja biar nyasar ke sound system....yah El ? hauehauuahuhau *super sweet memory*
but as the nite go on... ga tau pengaruh kurang tidur....apa gara2 pake make up dari siang gua jadi capek .....pala gua makin malem makin pusing... hajar tolak angin pun ga nolong....yg nolong benernya harusnya seh panadol...but gua kagak bawa si panadol :P
so waktu gua lagi nunggu buat nongol for battle scene... entah napa itu badan capekkkk banget.. di backstage gua cuman mau tidur benernya kl bisa.... gua merem aja all the while... berasa busyettttt.... ini lama amattttt yah latiannya...
mana sebelomnya pas anak2 nanya...ci ada intermission ga ? gua sok yakin ngejawab kl ga bakal ada intermission soalnya kita mulai latian aja 8.10 PM.....EH...tiba2 Andri announce kl bakal ada intermission 15 menit......kita bener2 latianin si 15 menit itu btw.... gua bingung jg.... lah emang we have the luxury of time kah ? maklum lagi joget ga boleh bawa jam tangan cuy.....
so anyway...masuk ke babak 2 yg dibuka sama MRT dance....sempet ada kejadian cukup ricuh.... salah satu kita ga dapet majalah yg harusnya udah siap buat MRT scene dance.. gaswat... since itu full run kita jg ga boleh teriak WAITTT STOPPP majalah.... !!! kita cuman silent wagging and screaming ke props team... majalahhhhhhh majalahhhhhhhh kurang satu !!! bahaya.... suara Satria dah nongol euy..... bentar lagi pintu MRT naek.... yah worst come to worst gua pikir no majalah sampe besok loh...
Suddenly bagai kegelapan petir malem......dedenya Billy & Debby..yg sampe sekarang gua susah bener inget namanya....(so sorryyy)...... lari dari belakang and pass the magazine terus flash out like black thunder.....feel like a super props hero team......gua cukup IMPRESSED with his initiative & speed !! terharu.... kl itu interview kerja.. confirm dia gua HIRED !!!
yah lanjut balik ke battle scene... dimana gua nunggu en kepala makin pusing ga karuan..... en gua nanya ke Gill bawa panadol ga and Gill jg ga ada....gua titip besok buat bawain panadol soalnya gua ga pulang malem itu...
entah kenapa battle scene malem itu set my blood super boiling.... selama latian kita udah mulai bener....tapi sekali lg malem itu... music buat battle masuknya lebih cepet lagi...making gank antonio belon sempet stand on the right blocking en dah mulai nari.... en the best part....bukan salah Gill... tapi karena satu dan lain hal pala gua sempet mencium paha Gill alias kata kena tendang......di tengah kepusingan kepala gw... Gill sampe sorry abis itu..... tapi gara2 gua udah keburu bete sama si music.....pala gw yg pusing en kena goyangan dasyat itu jd ga berasa apa2 banding betenya gua saat itu...
ga tau napa waktu itu gua sampe.....eerrrggghhh gemeshhh banget mo protes en minta ulang lagi sama music team... kayak pengen teriak... CUT !!! repeat.... off course kagak bisa .... :P
yah.... roll roll roll...not long.... we finish full dress..... WE FINISH FULL DRESS !!! aaarrrrggghhh....kebetean gw cukup sirna sesaat inget the new mile stone we achieve in our 2nd attempt doing musical...
time left : 15 mins to clear the hall.... langsung all dancers balik bawah, park baju kita balik nicely at the dress hanging bar, and shoes under each own table, pack pack pack... keluar by 11 PM..... *when I look back at dancers room.....I'm happy........ it was NEAT & NICE :)*
Then kita briefing di luar theater. 11.15 PM, everyone is released. Iot ketemu gua en bilang: nice bomb :P.... gua bingung antara percaya ato ngerasa dikasianin.......kadang kuping tuh susah percaya that it's nice... honestly..... yah gua ga nonton mana tau nice or not yah kan ? cuman yah gua thank you in aja and hoping so much things will be better tmrw....u noe perfectionist ?? en Iot give honest feedback jg bilang kl kita kecapean on Act 2....it all shows up...... true ...gua pusing remember ? kena tendangan tanpa bayangan pula... en bete sama music dah bikin gua....ahhhh..males dah....
I prayed hard my mood will not be affected like that tmrw.... gua compose myself and talk to Ceka, set some code on timing tmrw.. then hati cukup damai abis itu....
Then we go home... When we walked out... Raimond bilang ke Gill....untung rumah kita deket yah.... puji Tuhan... then Gill bilang : tanya dong bombie tinggal mana ? Mana bomb ? ....gua tunjuk : tuh sebrang....one north....jalan kaki 15 menit sampe dari AC..keliatan tinggi menjulang....
So basically gua udah plan buat tinggal di rumah Kaoru malem itu... since besoknya kita harus sampe di AC jam 9 pagi....cukup kejam Serangoon AC dikejar jam 9 pagi.......so gua udah minta Kaoru izin jauh2 buat tinggal, buat pinjem hair dryer, anduk, piama....etc.... Kaoru bilang okie ......dia bilang just come anytime Ci....
okie...so gua dadagh dadagh sama all dancers.... sahhhh gaya....jalan ke depan nyebrang....pas gitu gua call Kaoru... ga ada yg angkat... call sekali lagi....dia angkat... wah...dari suaranya kedengeran udah tidur si Kaoru... oh no.... mana gua perlu keramas pula that nite...kl gua hairdryeran di studio si Kaoru which mean satu kamar gede tanpa batesan pintu yg isinya ada 3 mahluk yg dah teler semua...gimana ? Kaoru bilang gapapa Ci....just come....
okie deh gua lanjut jalan sampe di bawah rumahnya...then gua sms... no reply.... sms lagi...no reply lagi... so gua mulai telpon.....telpon...... telpon lagi....en teleponnnnn lagi... sampe pusing gua dari ada sampe makin ilang......25 menit berlalu....gua sampe duduk di trotoar diliatin satpam en residence yg pada pulang...
akhirnya gua nyerah gua sms Kaoru bilang I will go home.... walk back cari taxi.... pulanglah gua ke serangoon......tadaaaaa :P
garink abis emang but it's definitely a wiser option to go home daripada brisikin mereka...and when I reach home jg gua langsung berasa bebas gitu so I move faster to clean up and get to bed......and gua bisa tinggalin barang2 nginep gua yg notabene...berat :P yah... I'm happy I went home... familiar with my bed...
terus jam 1 AM just when I was about to go to sleep...kaoru telp :) ahhahahah .... say sorry :) so funny...gua seh ketawa2 aja...kasian dia feel so guilty..
anyway....even though this is like 2nd musical and I should be familiar with stuffs......that I'll probably be sleepless and easy to wake up..... tetep aja gua berasa kayak bakal telat dateng ke AC .....
But then....ternyata..... jam 7 pagi....alarm belon bunyi gua udah TRENG !! terang mata en seger:P gua paksain tidur tiduran bentar sampe udah deket timingnya baru gua jalan.. we're supposed to reach AC by 9....dan gua sampe 8.45 AM..
sampe sana, Andri & Eggie & Glenn....DAH SAMPE !! beneran si Glenn sempet Mac Donald breakfast sama Eggie....superb Bukit Batok Brotherhood :P padahal malemnya gua udah mo taroan kl dia ga bisa bangun pagi gitu.... ga disangka sangka..... :P hebat *tepok tangan*
en yg udah disana jg.... Wi In... dedenya Wina.... to me she's the best make up artist in town :) hehehehe :) gua cocok banget sama make up nya Wi In dah :) love it so much :) gua contact Wi In for last minute help buat keritingin rambut anak2 dancers.
Since kita bisa masuk AC jam 9 pagi, gua langsung do my hair at 9 di dressing rooms. Jadwal gua jam 9.30 benernya...but I thot let's save some time.... pas jam 9 tepat di AC tuh kayak kena guyur badai...ujan GUEDE :P gelap bener langit... so yg seharusnya pada dah dateng jam 9 pagi, pada kagak nongol.... yah gua pikir gapapa lah ujan... anyway gua udah consen sama rambut gua jg...
sekitar 9.15 am udah pada nongol dah manusia2.... Wi In selesai keriting gua jam 9.30, langsung gua oper next Gill. Other dancers gua minta diem dulu or warm up or stretch or...basically jangan wandering around ga jelas lah.... sambil nungguin Ci Ida dateng buat keriting dancers laennya...
by jam 12 siang...most of the dancers dah pada kribo......yg belom dateng tinggal Jen Tjung...some dancers bahkan udah di lenongin mukanya sama team lenong martha tilaar... honestly.....we're pretty much ahead of time... so kita makan siang...nasi goreng dari indo padang...
selesai makan siang......baru most of the dancers lanjut dilenongin mukanya....
sekarang gua baru bisa jawab jujur kl benernya gua AMAT takut sama make up dari Indo......awalnya... :P soalnya gua pernah di make up in sama team Indo jg en jadinya gua cina bener .... itu di IAF taon 2003.....aih gilee serem dah kl liat fotonya jg.......so gua cukup was was sama team MT kali ini...
tp waktu dia orang trial muka Daisy & Tania yg pertama kali gua send pergi make up....... slowly gua cukup ditenangkan ngeliat at leasttt.... mereka ga bikin muka yg model chinaaaa abis :P
so after lunch, gitu ada chance gua langsung duduk minta didandanin.... ada 2 orang make up artist... dua2nya okie tapi somehow gua ga mo kl dikasih warna kuning di mata gua.... en gua masih agak fail to recognize yg mana yg pake warna kuning di muka... jadi gua cross fingers aja waktu duduk minta dandan....moga2 bukan dia aja :P
thank God .... gua dapet orang yg tepat... yg waktu dia layer the make up slowly....I have to say I was at ease...and very happy indeed.... looks cool colourful and pretty ...orang yg sama yg dandanin Gill jg... en Gill jg demen sama si mbak kita...
by 3.30 most of the dancers are done with make up semua... MT team ini yah ... MUANTEB ABIS !! palagi si mas rambut kite... satu orang dia hajar rambut semua dancers di handle sama dia.. aje gilee mass... cepet bener pula dia kerjanya... Team si Julien yg lbh banyak waktu itu aja ga ada apa apanya sama dia dah !!! saluttttt abis
sambil kita dandan di bawah...yg di atas tetep latian full di stage.. sapapun yg selesai make up naek ke atas latian..... so sekitar 4 PM udah pada latian full semua..
at this hour gua inget lari larian siapin bakul dancers sama roti rotian Manda. Stage and backstage Gill yg in charge...
so waktu si bakul beres, gua ikutan latian di stage yg waktu itu udah battle dance....kita masih betulin diri kita... I remember one point dimana semua orang ngomong and dancers pada goyang2 ga jelas di stage yg bikin off course hati gua panas... so keluarlah hardikan terakhir.... DANCERS !!! Stop moving .... be SERIOUS pls ......
effectively....mereka diem....en kita progress... sorry if I need to do that dancers...but time were crucial and I believe our musical is not a game to play.... yah ...anyway.....I dont regret being harsh when required on the right time
jam 5...latian selesai...kumpul semua for briefing......then we go for dinner...
selesai dinner ... maybe 5.45 PM kita kumpul lagi di stage...lalu kami berdoa bersama semua.. gabung tangan ke tengah...and then BERSERAH :)
then all the haywire at backstage happen...ganti baju ... pemanasan... siap sana siap sini ....as explain in the previous entry....
what happen during the musical... mostly udah gua ceritain semua di previous entry... yg kurang gua sebut perhaps are just this :
1> martha tilaar team yg cuman 6 orang aja .... berhasil touch up, ganti rambut, ganti lipstick, pasang glitter, ganti eye shadow colour sodara2....to around 38 cast members in total... SALUT GA SEH ? gua seh beneran.... terharu deh dapet dia orang... HEBAT abis !!!! asli...gua sukaaaa banget team dia orang yg waste no time..
2> banding ruang cast, ruang dancers itu kayak spa... sepi tenang sepoi2....ga havoc or haywire... gua bahkan sempet collect all valuablesnya anak2 and kumpulin in my bag, lalu di lock... all dancers baju accessories semua rapihhhhh di meja masing.... during performance no screaming no running ... everything....in order....
siangnya gua cukup kasian ruangan kita ga lively....ga kayak ruang cast, coz all the make up artist are there... so havoc and heboh di backstage cast room dong..... gua cukup kasian sm dancers2 yg ... pengen heboh hebohan jg dung pastinya....
gua seh seneng sm ruangan kita yang serene peaceful gitu... belon tentu dia orang iyah kan...
tapi dari sore ke malemnya.... I'm totally happy that ruangan kita in a very good order.... en tenang gitu... sampe2 cast member yg mo latian pada dateng ke ruangan kita buat concentrasi... I'm very happy with the ambience... with the commitment level and the profesionalism going around in the room... I feel like a professional performing...I really hope my dancers can feel the seriousness level too...
saking tenangnya sampe gua bisa : lipet en rapihin semua baju, barang, and sepatu gua sebelom curtain call.....and I look around the room, kagak berantakan :) baju2 dancersnya jg rapih.... each individual... :) THANK YOU DANCERS !!! SO PROUD of u all.... really !!!!!
3> di backstage ada TV yg sorot stage... so whoever backstage pada bisa nonton semua... and that's a very good thing :) si willy, raimond ...tiap kali kita turun en ganti baju...the adrenalin rush was really there...kita bahkan sempet tos tosan... encourage each other... turun disorakin... hahahahah :P lucu seh ... tapi berasanya.... ARRRGGGHHH ..gimana gitu *neh gua merinding lag*.... kayak...aaaa we're doing good job...
harusnya gua udah mention semua ....
and by 10 plus plus... we are done....
WE ARE DONE.......
the curtain calls
the lights are off....
and my body was TOTALLY tired by 11 PM..
