What I Found Today

My 9th birthday gown


I ever been a little doctor but sadly I couldn't find where my little doctor uniform was :cry:

Granny's blouse


So we can see people nowadays are using 60's or 70's style back :biggrin:

Mommy's Wedding Kebaya


A kebaya is a traditional blouse-dress combination that originates from Indonesia and is worn by women in Indonesia,Malaysia, Brunei, Burma, Singapore, southern Thailand, Cambodia and the southern part of the Philippines. It is sometimes made from sheer material such as silk, thin cotton or semi-transparent nylon or polyester, adorned with brocade or floral pattern embroidery. A kebaya is usually worn with a sarong or batik kain panjang, or other traditional woven garment such as ikat, songket with a colorful motif.--Source.

Our ashoka flowers are crazily blooming



Back when I was a little girl, I used to pick this flower to suck the nectar. It's so sweet. But today I try to do the same thing again, I feel nothing. It's maybe because the bigger we grow up to be, the higher tolerance we have for sweetness :|

Yellow Card

Went to the employment service in Rampah last Sunday with Chang to make the yellow card. Yes, we are the job seekers; especially me. The yellow card often be used as one of the requirements when applying some jobs. It didn't take long to finish it but we even couldn't submit our files as we didn't know the copy of our certificate degree was a must 

Luckily it's not a waste because we continued to Sulaiman Hospital to take the certificate of able-bodied and another luckiness, there was Au who took care everything for us. We just sit down waiting for her to finish what we needed . Chang suggested we went back home to take the certificate and came again to the employment service in order to finish the whole stuffs in one day but hey, that's impossible 

There was a traditional cuisines stall across the hospital which sells something Chang missed for so long to eat. The stall was too far to reach if the reason was only for this. Lontong Pecel. Lontong means rice cake while pecel is Javanese typical culinary which is made from boiled vegetables like bean sprouts, long beans, cabbages, water spinach, cassava and papaya leaves, served with peanut flavor having a blend of savory, sour, sweet and spicy. Fried tofu and traditional 'red and white' cracker as the complement



I ordered that noodle soup. What else? It's noodle! It was like no choice if this food listed on the menu. It's kinda sweet but still tasty. I love the strong traditional taste which is rarely found if we ordered it in big city. I'm a suburban!! Back to Rampah on Tuesday and everything was done.

IMSI's Big Family Gathering

The man in white shirt is the current Rector and in his left side is the current dean. Continue to the left (your right) is Sir Eddy, my supervisor and in his left side is Sir Muhizar Muchtar, the current Head of Department.

Attended IMSI's Big Family Gathering last Saturday before went to Kampung. It's a meet and greet held for the alumni of English department in University of North Sumatera who are members of Ikatan Mahasiswa Sastra Inggris (Association of English Literature Students). As far as I know, the oldest year is Mam Redita. She is the second generation; the lecturers' lecturer. Lol. But I saw an old man whom I'm sure he must be older than Mam Redita. He is the first generation maybe. 

Not so many who attended the event but there were some were willing to come all the way from out of town and even abroad. The Rector was present and also the Dean. Of course the Dean should be present. He was from this department and most of the lecturers in this department are them who used to be the students here.


The son of late Sir Perdamean came to replace his daddy and to greet his dad's friends. "Hai, my father's friends", he said. He's only a primary school boy. His daddy was one of the best lecturers we ever had. He taught with his heart. He supported us to learn, not forced to. Dance With My Father by Luther Vandross and Home by Michael Buble reminded me of him the most. It's really made an impression on my memory how he retold his struggles to achieve his current position at that time.


Me, Fani, Tami and Sari were the youngest alumni maybe. We were too clumsy to join the seniors. Yes, only for that day we were not lecturers and students but seniors and juniors. But never hope we would be brave enough to call them Kakak and Abang. Lol. Got a mug with 'Spirit of Togetherness' printed on it.

Laugh, Cry, Laugh, Cry

bloggie.. Miss someone owns you? I miss you too as you provide me 'edit' option so I can remedy the wrong words chosen or even erase them while my mouth doesn't have. I've prepared myself to face the entrance exams for civil servants and spent my time to hunt informations as many as possible and... *too shy to say* I study. teehee. I found several chances but don't wanna talk too much because there are a huge number of people whom I'm sure have much much much better preparation

Went to Kampung last Saturday as surprise for Tigan, Mami and cousins. The sorrow was still very pronounced in that house and very happy for our coming could slightly cheer them up. There were still tears on the sidelines of talks about Mama Tiar but life must go on


Even they ignored the broken TV but smart sister brought infocus so we like flying back to the traditional ages when people got entertainment from layar tancap . Watched World War Z in the night and The Expendables 2 in the next day.

About the two films, for World War Z, I must say I'm sick about the zombie indoctrinated and The Expendables 2, nothing special besides the legendary actors (in action movie) gathered in one screen.

If you wanna see Sylvester Stallone as the protagonist with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis as his partners, not to mention Jean-Claude Van Damme as the antagonist, this movie is the best choice. But I love its fresh smart jokes.

We went home on Sunday though they asked us to postpone it but, there must be another visits. Oh, the foolish me forget to mention the happy news. Lona had been registered as a pharmacy student in one school of health science. Wish you luck, baby. *smooch* And wish Kakak luck juga ya, Dek.

Oz The Great & Powerful (2013)


Oscar 'Oz' Diggs was only a travelling circus magician with never-change and cheap tricks, poor, womanizing and cheater. When a strong circus man wanted to kill him as he knew Oz flirted with his wife, Oz escaped with his hot air balloon. But the balloon was sucked by huge tornado and Oz prayed he would be good man if he's allowed to live and the tornado brought him to Land of Oz. There he met there witches: siblings Theodora and Enora, and Glinda. Theodora was beautiful yet naive who then falling in love with him easily. Evanora was actually the wicked witch but spread rumor that it was Glinda and manipulated Theodora's jealousy to make her against Oz.

Every people except Glinda in Emerald City believed Oz was the promised wizard who would come to save the land from the wicked witch who had killed The King of Oz. Glinda knew how did Oz actually but she had only him to be the spirit for her people; the promised wizard had come.

What a sucky movie! I found nothing special from it except the Disney's typical breathtaking imagination sceneries, cute stuffs and unthinkable creatures. Not much different from mostly Black VS White storyline. This film bored me very much but I've started it so I must see the 'The End' appeared
