happy birthday!

to the loveliest woman in my life,

happy birthday Mom, may Allah take a good care you all the time :)
for who i am now, i owe you my entire life. thanks for being such an inspiration, a motivation, and a long-life companion.

till i see you in 2 days, i'd be longing for more yoga, karaoke in car, and mom-daughter talk during traffic.
i'll be home Mom, i'll be home.. :)

love,
Anintya Hapsari

second day vs monday morning

argh.. this is my second day of period. it literally kills me.

di luar ujan deres banget, jadi tadi nyetir bener-bener super lamban, untung orang-orang juga (tumben) nyetirnya rada santai, so it was fine. sampe kantor perut langsung bergejolak, entah karena dapet, atau plus-plus sarapan makanan yang udah dingin dan tetep ngeyel gak diangetin. alhasil sekarang muka pucet pasi, mau bikin teh pait aja, mau bangun dari kursi magernya parah, karena si perut :(

hari ini senin ya, monday paperwork seperti biasa, dan karena pra-cuti, kerjaan dobel numpuk. balik dari cuti beda lagi, karena udah pasti tripel numpuk. yah intinya mah numpuk lah. ehh taunya si eneng malah blogging sekarang, sempet aja yeuhh.. haha. yauda deh hari ini ada Ops Meeting jam 9, jadi nanti pas kantor sepi gw baru bikin teh biar gak usah ditanya-tanya 'kok gak puasa?' karena terlalu males ngejelasin panjang-lebar masalah period ini, kayanya kok ya period aja kok bikin pengumuman.. mungkin perlu sih, tapi tulisannya gini.. 'beware of this lady, she's having period and is about to kill any annoyance' HUAHAHAHA :D

dih-leh-mah

terlepas dari kenyataan kalo gw sekarang udah lebih jago belanja (sangat jago tepatnya), gw ternyata masih plin-plan. ini ya dari kemaren, udah 100% bulat tekad gw untuk beli digicam baru yang murah meriah, pas begitu tau bokap baru beli kamera juga (seperti kebanyakan bapak-bapak lainnya), gw pun jadi mengurungkan niat gw untuk belanja.

dari dulu, kalo mau belanja kayanya gw gak usah minta pendapat orang lain deh, karena jadinya malah gak jadi-jadi. kepikirannya selalu priority, mana yang lebih penting, apakah perlu. padahal kalo dipikir-pikir gw deserve juga kok.. toh duit gw sendiri, kerja keras sendiri. terutama untuk hal-hal berbau elektronik ya, kok kayanya gw susaaaah banget mau belanjain. padahal kalo baju, tas atau sepatu aja udah was-wes-wos lancar pisan.. belum lagi kalo makanan, ihhh gausah pake mikir itu sih.

jadi.. beli digicamnya apa gak nih? huhu

cravings

akhir-akhir ini napsu makan lagi naik berkali-kali lipat. cravingsnya banyaaaak banget, mulai dari rendang, boost juice, almond croissant, iga penyet sampe japanese food. semuanya alhamdulillah kesampean minggu ini. ehhh.. almond croissantnya belom deh, karena la galette tutup setengah 4 sore aja lho! (gw aja belom beres kerja jam segitu mbakyuu). tapi sebagai gantinya tetep deh eclairs sama cream puffs masih dijabanin juga!

klimaksnya hari ini.. gw sama syira udah semangat untuk japanese-date, so we went to ohnamiya di Applecross. taunya udah lama banget dari si meidiwa, tapi sayangnya pernah sekali kesana pas tutup gitu sore-sore. dan akhirnya hari ini kesampean! gw sama syira pesen salmon teriyaki rice box, mixed seafood katsu with salad, dan salmon sashimi. nomnomnom.. oishi! salmonnya enaaak banget, hehe kesenengan sendiri secara udah lama gak makan ikan mentah gitu

udah gituu yang bikin makin happy jelas dessertnyaa.. GREEN TEA PANNACOTTA! rela deh gw kesini lagi cuma buat pesen 2..3..4.. green tea pannacotta buat gw sendiri --> hehe maruk, biarlah.

rasanya gak semanis yang gw kira, jadinya enaaak banget. gak bikin begah banget deh makan di sini, bener2 pas untuk ukuran perut dan pipi! :p langsung browse resep nih ceritanya secara gw dessert-addict yah. boleh lah nanti kapan di coba,  yang jelas.. lagi mau coba bikin bubur biji salak dulu, dan syira minta dibikinin kuih raya sebelum i balik. hadeehh.. gak tau deh palingan gw gak jadi masak apa-apa. yasudahlah.

skyscraper

not a big fan of demi lovato, or even this song. but i just love the lyrics, simply show how strong a broken-hearted could be.

go on and try to tear me down
i will be rising from the ground
like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper..

home

10 days away and i'll be home.

banyak ya kayanya yang mau pulang tanggal segitu. si putra balik tanggal 25 siangnya, terus denger-denger dita ucup satu pesawat sama gw. ka desi sekeluarga juga pada satu pesawat, rame euy. mulai ngebayangin rencana-rencana.. mulai dari potong rambut, hair mask, luluran, pijet, ke taman safari (semoga jadi), belanja, nginep rumah oshin, kuliner, ketemu keponakan2 baru, alend-ing, mudik ke bogor dan sukabumi, sampe gantiin si mbak di rumah yang pada mudik (baca: jadi tkw lagi).

dan untungnya gw balik tanggal 8, jadi bisa sempetin nongton ppiaccoustic tanggal 9 nya. masih ada sisa beberapa hari buat leha-leha sebelum masuk kerja lagi. mungkiin mau jalan-jalan aja, tidying up life, masak, baking, ngegym!, dan lain-lain. ah 2 minggu terakhir ini kantor bakalan hectic banget deh. kantong mata makin gede, perut makin kosong, gw yang makin kurus (ciee gitu) dan makin banyak pikiran. tapi abis itu.. here we go JAKARTA! :)

happy is.. (4)

• knowing you finally get a chance (or actually more like.. forcing yourself) to hit the kitchen and start doing some cooking
• you thought your cooking was not good enough, when it actually turned out that everyone loves it! :) :)
• getting the paperwork piles moved, and ta-daa.. bigger space to do some wee dance in the corner
• going home early because i didn't have my break - remember women section is normally closed for friday prayer, or i just don't know about it.
• my jeans-suprise: it's loosen! i'm gettin slimmer HAHAHA #wishfulthinking
• having a super duper breakfast at wilson! good food, good people, good times. all the good things! thanks for wilsoners, you guys are the first people that make perth feel like home :)
• had danil as imam tarawih prayer and realized that he's just awaaaaaaaaayy too good! i just simply fall to the way he recited all the surah during prayer *jempol*
• afterall, perfect night! and now time for some beauty sleep, planning to wake up late tomorrow, yayness :)

happy therapy

where is the passion when i need it the most?

udah beberapa bulan ini, gw jarang masak. kulkas isinya ayam baiada, frozen spring roll, prawn gyoza, bakso. kalo pun ada fresh meat, veggie or fruit, they will end up in the bin few weeks after.
seharusnya excited banget hari ini karena mau ada big breakfasting event (ceilah big darimane?), tapi semalem, mau bikin puding aja gagal. tadi pagi bikin bubur candil, seadanya, dan emang belum beres.

rasanya pengen teriak, nangis, deesbe deesbe.

kenapa sih gw? kecapekan kerja kok ya segininya. kerja juga lagi gak beres-beres amat akhir-akhir ini.
2 weeks time, cepatlah tiba.. i want home, i want my soul vacation, i want a break!

(un)happy(1)

oalah, nasibmu ty.. udah diputusin, dicuekin, terus lama-lama.. gak dianggep.

salah posting. woops. udah malem, ikan bobo..

smoking kills

you and me. physically and mentally. be aware of your non-smoking friends. they die faster than you do.

(not) wicked

once upon a time in a small office located at the kewdale industrial area, there was Glenda the good, Lindy the evil witch and Tya the-yes-girl. Tya used to work with Lindy the evil witch, lived with all the torturing, say.. given all the craps she was not supposed to do, and of course with all her pushy-and-aggressive attitude. until one day, Lindy decided to resign (as expected) and then came (thank God!) Glenda the good.

handover was not going really well, although finally Tya managed to get her head up. and trying to put all the bits of pieces together. hopefully the magic would last forever, and Tya and Glenda would live happily ever after. Amen to that.

anyways.. totally excited of this Friday, neng tya will hit the kitchen again! yeay \(^o^)/

happy is.. (3)

hectic weekdays and lovely weekend

there are always people that you met the first time you got to one place and feel comfortable with. and no matter how far you have been wandering around, you would still stick with them at the end of the day. just because for some people, they're the missing home :)

but, there is a big but(t)

imagine you're doing officework that requires you to sit the whole day, all year, the entire of your working life. how big can you imagine your butt is going to be?

your muscles get weaken, your cardio rates turn very low, and your butt is full of fat mass. gah! gotta start exercising again, although it's ramadhan, i know. okay wish me luck!

assalamu'alaykum

Adalah 'jangan ditiru' pesan untuk pagi ini. Setelah semalem pulang tarawih, gw sama syira nyangkut di McD beli apple pie, ice coffee dan fillet-o-fish, gw pun gak bangun tengah malem untuk qiyamul lail. Tau-tau udah setengah 5 aja, panik, belom sempet tahajud deesbe deesbe. Alhasil ngacir ngebut tadarusan (yang Alhamdulillah masih dalam batas target), abis itu lanjut sahur.

Adalah 'brain freeze' yang gw rasain akhir-akhir ini setiap lagi ngaji. Semakin kenceng suaranya, semakin rasanya otak cenat-cenut (nah ini bener, bukannya hati yang cenat-cenut!). Mungkin rada dehydrated, jadinya kepala agak dingin, jadi tiap kali ambil napas panjang, rasanya sakit.

Adalah panik hari ini karena billing, tapi FMG belum kirim balik paperwork mereka. Padahal pak Owen pasti udah di jalan leha-leha tau adminnya biasanya too-well-prepared, unfortunately not this time.

Adalah counting down the time, sampe zuhur dan gw siap ngacir ke mesjid Welshpool untuk rebahan sebentar sambil sembahyang Zuhur. Alhamdulillah ya Allah, kantorku deket mesjid :)

Adalah time is ticking but i am still proscatinating. See you, Folks!

si mamah dan si bapak

my dad could be the most perfect guy in the world. humble and hardworking, friendly and caring, religious and fun. yet, my dad was not as perfect as he is now if he had not met my mom. he was just a random guy my  mom met in class and since then, they have decided to keep going on accepting all the differences and imperfection.

this picture was taken at the time my dad celebrated his first-time khatam al qur'an which was last weekend. he's not perfect until he met my mom. i love you both, i'll see you soon! xo
