Slumber Party

Eventually it's not going to be a lonely week... (^_^)

Ira & Maya are going to sleepover tonight... Kon ban no thema wa... hai, dozo:

OHNO SATOSHI desu!

Hahahahahaha Why him?, 2 reasons:
First, Maya is a huge fan of him since many years ago
Second, I always consider him like a shadow in the group :p until I heard "Take Me Faraway" and the song got stuck in my head. Now Maya is trying her best to turn me into another crazy fan of Ohno_Satoshi! LoL So Ira's just stuck in the middle of "Riida everywhere" situation tonight Bwahahahahahahaaha (^o^)

Can't wait 'till the clock strike 5...

Update [Jul 14]
It wasn't a big success... May was so engrossed in my comics, I was too tired (lack of sleep for the past 3 days) and Ira was the one who kept reminding us the purpose of the sleep over... hahahaha But it was cool, we got to chat until 2am, too bad Maya had to leave early on Saturday :D Girls, let's have another session... and this time for real!! hehehe

Home Alone

My dad just left this morning to Balikpapan, he'll be there for PON (National Sports Competition). I'll be home alone for a week. And for my birthday. *sigh* I don't feel like celebrating my birthday anyway, I'll be serving in morning service in church on that day (7-9am), and definitely I wanna spend some time by myself. Or maybe I'll have lunch with a couple of friends. Maybe...

However, I was a bit sentimental last night. I met an old friend and that was the first time in my life that I just cried over meeting someone. I hugged her hard, she understood. And I'm thankful for that.

Another 1st time

Yesterday was supposed to be my mom's birthday. When I woke up in the morning I didn't feel a bit sad, I thought I got over the sentimental part already... well, though not completely. But then I talked to my brother who also celebrated his birthday on the same day. He told me that he's sad to celebrate his birthday by himself for the 1st time. And suddenly I felt so lonely.

My mom was the kind of person who fuss over birthdays and stuff. She always remembered people's birthday and never missed a present or a cake. There will always be some birthday cake of some sort that she bought herself on her birthday :) But yesterday was different. No celebration, no cake, no morning kiss. I tried to think that it must be harder for my brother but still the loneliness was there. It didn't go away.

For the past few weeks I've been thinking about an old friend of mine and I missed her so much, especially yesterday. Perhaps because she knew my mother longer than most of my other close friends and there were moment we spent with each other's family. I long for our time together. I sent her a text message a couple of days before but didn't get a reply until (amazingly) yesterday. And she admitted that she's been thinking of me too. I cried behind the wheel when I read her message.

She also said: "tough time to adjust to a lot of 1st time.." Then I realized that there will be lots of "1st times of something without mom" that I'll go through in the future but I'm glad that my friend understood. I felt that we're connected againafter being away from each other for quite sometime. And it was also the 1st time that I felt so grateful to have someone who understood me even when we're apart. And she has helped me back on my feet again.

Arigatou. You know who you are.

Yatta!

Woohoo!! Finally... I'm going karaoke tomorrow after work T________T Though this time I'll go with a completely different pack than the usual, I hope it will be another enjoyable karaoke session. Full story & pictures will follow on Monday... hopefully...

PS:
I'm definitely singing A-RA-SHI tomorrow!!!

Hajimete no Kare!

Not the first curry (or "kare" as the Japanese pronounce it) that I ate but the first kare that I cooked v(^__^)v I've bought the curry blocks sometime ago, but didn't really get the chance to try it. Then yesterday after church I went groceries shopping with dad & thought of finally cook it. When I got home I tried to find the recipe... I knew it's somewhere in Hanalala back issues, but the stupid me didn't even remember which issue hehehe

After trying in vain to find it in the last 10 issues I finally gave up and return to google hahahaha 1st recipe that I found somehow seemed a bit complicated, but the 2nd recipe was much more simple so I tried that one. Sent a text message to Pon-chan & Channel to wish me luck... And voila!! Not exactly the La Huma taste but it will do... Ureshii...
