Happy New Year in Advance :)

 Di akhir taun ini..

Daku mo mabur lagi ke Pekanbaru untuk kawinan sodaranya Arip, semoga trip gw yang kali ini ke Pekanbaru baik baik aja, ga seperti trip gw yang sebelonnya. Gw bakal stay di Pekanbaru sampe tanggal 2 Jan bo, agak basi sih benernya gitu lama di Pekanbaru, ngapain ya enaknya?

Not fancy the city much nor the food.

Ingin rasanya menclok ke Jakarta trus massage en nyalon aja sehari hari.

Tapi apa daya, tiket dah dibeli dan daku ingin ketemu sama cousin nya Arip yang bakal merit itu.

Namanya Vanni, one strong and humble lady in the family. Love her much and my blessing is with her for her wedding.

Lalu satu lagi yang bikin agak males menclok kesana yah pertanyaan

" kapan giliran kamu (punya anak?) sama handai taulan yang ada disana "

 -_-'

* gw dah nyiapin jawabannya btw*

~*~

Di akhir taun ini..

Daku bersyukur banget sama Tuhan kalo taon ini has been the great year in my life :)

Happily married, healthy, wonderful career, business Bubbly Brush lancar sama blogging life juga sip. Pokonya, bener bener full of blessing deh. 

~*~

Di akhir taun ini...

Aku sama Bang Arip plan untuk having our little family :)

*Mak gw bisa toss convetti kali kalo baca tulisan gw ini*

All this while, seperti yang gw curhat ke Belzy..gw takut untuk having commitment untuk anak.

Gw berasa gw tuh selfish, dan gw ga mo trade the comfortable life yang gw punya sekarang with baby. Tapi the more gw ngobrol sama dia, ditambah teknik kamar tidur dari Elsiey..pelan pelan ngebuka pikiran en mental gw sih to try out for this little bundle of joy.

Jadi, aku mo minta tolong yaaa..buat temen temen..doakan aku :)

Sempilin nama aku di doa kalian, aku mau baby (girl).

~ Gw selalu di komplen pol ama Arip saban doa, gw minta baby girl, 

yang akhirnya..selalu ditanya " kamu kalo dapet baby boy bakal sayang ga sih? " ~

Yeeee! sayang lah! gw berhati lemah lembut penuh cinta gini (dan juga gemar menabung), mana mungkin ga sayang anak kecil!

Tes pack dah gw beliin, MAHAL mampus di SG! $15 satu test pack!

Sapa yang mo sumbangin test pas baru ke gw sini, gw terima!

Ovulation test pack juga gw beli, sama mahalnya $65/box.

*Dapet foundation MUFE tuh* ini buat dikencingin bo.

Ah anyway, mohon doanya yah.

Dan aku jangan di judge soal maunya baby girl :)

Dapet baby boy juga bersyukur kok, tapi kalo boleh didoain..doain baby girl yah! *teteup*

Alesannya apa? ya jelas laaaah, gw gitu loh! 

Apalagi kalo bukan tutu pink yang uda gw mimpi mimpiin bakal gw pakein ke baby girl gw.

*shallow abis yee!*

~*~

Di akhir taun ini...

Daku bener bener berasa, God knows the best.

He gave me the best family ever (although not the best extended family), 

best husband (mang ada berapa yah?),

best blessing..and the best of all..

are..

BEST PEOPLE AROUND :)

Makasih buat temen temen semua for all these years.

I am happy to know each and every one of you.

HAPPY NEW YEAR & HAPPY HOLIDAY!

Psst...It's Gamila Secret!

" I have committed my life to blending the healing powers of herbs to create the purest possible skin care products " 

~ Gamila ~

Wow! 

That powerful line caught my attention when I first reading the most

 " au naturale "press release I ever received. 

I was thinking, how could someone so troublesome committing her life to blend herbs, just for the sake of pure possible skin care products? 

It's year 2012, hello! go to the expert lab, ask them to create some magic skin care and sell it..

Voilaaa!!  kaching in!

~ I mean, all this while I am using a lab products anyway, so I dun mind another one..~

I was so curious about this product that I actually took my sweet time testing it for a good 4 weeks before starting to draft this entry. 

It's like, I need to convinced myself first before I convinced you all while reading this.

This is the proof from my instagram :)

(follow me, if you have not ^^ Thank u very much)

After using it for a full 1 month, I must say that FINALLY!! I found a soap that I can use as daily soap apart from Cetaphil. * DAMN happy lor* 

Cetaphil is awesome, but it is fragrance free, and I am a huge fans of something that smells lovely >.<'

Super omg lah, my body skin is pretty sensitive to a harsh element in the soap. The moment i use a harsh soap in daily basis, my eczema starts acting funny and decided to be a permanent resident in my elbow lor.

* Le sigh*

Anyway..anyway..back to my new love, Gamila Secret..

A product that contain a basic ingredients; pure extra-virgin olive oil, with a mixture of vegetable oils, Shea butter, grape seed oil, sweet almond oil, avocado oil and lavender oil and a cocktail of no less than 15 fully active hand-picked wild herbs from Peki'in, nothern Israel that nourish the skin with minerals and vitamins.

Apart from the awesome soap that helps to get my therapeutic shower ritual back, Gamila sercret not only cleanses and revitalize the skin, it also has healing qualities for people whose skin has lost it's natural balance. 

It is really a perfect combination created skin care for everyone to have the opportunity of having the healthy, and beautiful skin.

I love this product and surely will re-purchase this at Metro, PARAGON- Orchard.

Although I know this products is a little bit pricy for the soap ( $46-$63), I still think it's really worth every cents of it ~ at least for me. It's been a while since I am truly enjoying my shower ritual.

So, thank you Gamila Secret :)

Touch the red up at Salon De choix :)

I didn't know that Red hair is damn hard to maintain >.<'

The colour faded pretty fast and left the unhealthy looking corn hair kind afterwards.

*BIG sigh*

How I wish the colour could stay longer and the same like the day I left the Salon.

But, I am thankful for Salon de Choix that keep helping me in doing the touch up for my hidden red hair. Or else, i guess it will be pretty troublesome for me :) 

Btw, have any of you tried the treatment at the Salon De Choix?

If you have not, try it :)

I am loving it, and maybe you will too.

You know sometimes, after you dye your hair..it will be a bit dry and not healthy feeling when you comb it with your finger, this treatment is actually works on closing up the hair follicle after the hair colouring and it leaves the silk smooth feeling on your hair and hand. :D

 

Presenting you, my still red hidden hair :)
*nothing new hor*
^^

 

Re-rame-an ke Taiwan!

Akuh minggu lalu baru pulang dari Taiwan,
sedang sakit tapi masi berasa hepi nya!

Berangkat dari Singapore Kemis subuh jam 1.15 am en nyampe ke Taipei jam 6 pagi..gubrak gabruk urusin imigrasi, ambil koper dan langsung keluar ambil Taxi ke pusat kotanya buat nyari sarapan.

Karena masi pagi banget, jadinya tempat yang buka tuh cuma stall stall pinggir jalan kayak gini, akhirnya..tak ada rotan akar pun lebih enak, kita nyicipin sederetan makanan yang ada di jalan itu.

Mulai dari Carrot cake + meatball soup ala Taiwan

Misua


Sama beberapa makanan laen yang ga sempet kepoto, karena pas dateng .." hap " langsung dimakan rame rame. :)



Setelah muter muter gajebo karena nyampe kepagian en masi nunggu beberapa colleague yang belon nyampe, kita akhirnya nangkring2 di Starbucks.

Sembari nunggu sayah bikin kepangan rambut ini:
* Dan abang yang di belakang itu temen kantor gw, si Alex - ingetin yah..karena trip ini banyak cerita soal dia*



Ada kali ampir 2 jem kita nongkrong sampe waktunya ketemuan sama colleague yang laen di Taipei station, lalu kita cabut ke Taipei 101.



Gw sungguh girang banget ketemu tulisan LOVE ini loh!
Entah kenapa dulu waktu liat tugu ini * eh ini termasuk tugu ga seh?* di photo axioo..gw bilang " nanti gw juga ah poto disana " eh kesampean jek! Omongan gw memang manjur!

Lalu dong, saya poto lompat bahagia gini.



Ini Taipei tower 101,
err..ga ada special specialnya sih, cuma gedung tinggi macam twin tower di KL aja gitu.


Kelar dari Taipei 101 dan sekitarnya, kita mampir untuk makan siang..dan yah ini makanan terenak yang gw makan selama trip di Taiwan. Geeeeezzzzuss...sumpee enak abis!
tapi makannya pake doa " Tuhan semoga makanan ini ga bikin saya gendud "
" NGAREP LOE " kl Tuhan bisa jawab di muka gw.

Niu ro fan apa apalah gitu namanya..gw ga tau.
Yang pasti enaknya syalala pol.


Kelar lunch, kita ngumpul di Taipei station trus mabur ke Taichung,
tempat kita tinggal selama 4 hari 3 malem.

Trainnya cepet bo, cm 58 menit, bayarnya Taiwan $ 600 aja.


Daku duduk sama Bang Ryan (ki) ama Bang Alex (ka)


Keretanya bersih, ada gantungan coat ama tas , cepet padahal baru merem eh uda nyampe lagi. Astaga.



Dan dari situ naek taxi sejem-an kali baru nyampe ke tempat yang Ndeeeso banget dan akhirnya ketemu tempat B & B kita..si rumah biru ini :)



Ga mewah, tapi view nya gilaaa cakep ajeeee..dan yah, gw kok jadi berasanya kayak anak SMA pergi karyawisata yah di trip ini. Colleague gw rata-rata seumuran gw..dan super camen semua.
Ga laki ga perempuan..geblek pol.



Di tempat B & B ini, mereka ada rooftopnya yang mayan romantic kalo hang out sama Mas henney..tapi karena ga ada yg seganteng dia, jadinya ya biasa aja..cuma rooftop yang berangin dan dingin aja..*ngimpi gw emang di siang bolong*



Mulai hari kedua (karena hari pertama nyampe uda malem bo), kita ada team building game..yang OMG..seru abis!!





Kita disuruh bikin team2 kecil gitu..dan maen game sampe ketemu team yang menang :)







Dan dong yang menang dapet HKD3000..huhuhu..aku mau..Dan yang kalah..dapet hukuman..hahaha..team yang kalah ada 3 team, gw juga kalah..

Team 1 yang kalah, hukumannya si jijay loh..
Tema leadernya tiduran, trus mukanya ditutup pake wrap plastic gitu dan diolesin selai nanas..abis itu..team nya, harus bersiin selai itu pake lidah! Ewww POL!! tapi kocak gilaaaa...



Boss gw si abang Ryan, langsung naek ke si orang ini kayak posisi women on top and nge-licknya nepsong ajeee...hahahaha..*pikiran gw ampe kemana mana bentar bo* hahaha..

Trus team gw, kalah..akhirnya di cemong2 pake lipstik en disuruh kiss each other..



Dan team yang terakhir, pas kalah..disuruh Yoga-an booo!



Sumpe bego banget dah!!

Selama 4 hari ini yah di Taiwan, gw berasa happy luar biasa loh! ketawa cengangas cengenges melolo pas siang, pas malem pada minum sambil snack-an liatin bintang gitu. I love the moment there.

Belon lagi kalo sore nungguin sunset gitu..dan cuma duduk ngobrol ngobrol di rooftop..ah blissful.

Me, abang KL, abang Alex

Lalu aku mo gocip soal abang Alex..hahaha..si abang ini yah ternyata di nominasikan sebage laki terganteng se-company..-_-' dan temen2 kantor gw yang cewek ngomongin dia melulu saban malem di kamar. Gw ampe mabok.com dengerinnya. Secara abang ini satu kantor sama gw dan gw sering banget liat dia tiap hari..jadi menurut gw B aja gitu, ga ampe ganteng ampeee gimana gitu, tapi emang kalo senyum mayan manis. :D

Nah, selama di Taiwan ini..karena gw paling deket sama dia (dan satu temen gw lagi yang based di KL) jadinya kita bertiga selalu stay together gitu. Dan kalo makan biasanya, gw disebelah abang ini ato ga sama si temen KL itu. Mereka berdua sumpeee baek banget ama gw, dan selalu take care banget ke gw..dan gw suka diperlakuin gitu. Kalo misalnya pas makan, pasti gw dijepitin sayur sama mereka ke piring gw..baru mereka ambil ke piring mereka gitu. Gw mah hepi hepi aja lah ya bo, tinggal makan kok. Tapi ternyata diliat jadi aneh sama temen kantor yang laen, dan dong ada satu temen team gw naek ke ranjang gw dan nanya " lu sebenernya seberapa deket ama abang itu? kenapa dia ambilin lu makanan? kenapa dia bawain tas lu? kenapa dia bawain belanjaan lu? " bujug dah! akyu seram. Padahal eh, gw sungguh tak napsu ama abang ini.

 Dan ada satu cici2 yang uda punya anak, ternyata suka bener ama abang ini..omg dah. Suka tiba-tiba manggil abang ini suruh duduk di sebelahnya en dikasih makanan..hahahahhaa..kita liatnya agak2
" yaolooo.." hahaha..
Ternyata yah, walo uda cici cici..tetep ga bisa liat barang bagus nganggur! hahahha..

Ah sekian update ku soal Taiwan company trip ini :)
Yang pasti, gw berasa super happy to be a part of this small family. Walo kerjaan numpuk selalu en OT suka kelebihan jama kadang-kadang..tapi ibarat, panas 9 bulan diapus ujan 4 hari lah kira-kira.
Gw happy and this trip is unforgettable.

Happy me.

How to: Take PADI Open water dive certificate in Bali

Easy!
as easy as booking a trustworthy dive centre and dive school
that could give you the international PADI standard certification.

We've been recommended by a close friend of ours, Erlina, to go for
BALI STINGRAY DIVERS
for our PADI open water certification.

So we did make a booking to the owner and dive instructor of Bali Stingray Divers, Mr. Putu.
A humble, super fun and full of responsibility man.

Kopi susu belon diaduk.

If you don't know, I have a phobia of being in open sea.
Something scary on this little head of shark, giant cuttle fish, or even some random scary thought of anything bad. Am just scared of I don't know what, or maybe just one particular things; sea.

But this lovely Mr. Putu could help me in going down the water and dive along with him without being scared. Although I must say, I am nervous. BIG time nervous on the first day going down the sea.

If you have the same fear with me, I think I should share this with you.
Our fear is worth to conquered. Down below the scary bluish black sea is full of amazing colourful creatures that simply could take your breath away --> in a bloody good way though.

And fear not, if you go for a dive class, you will go through a little baby steps to know more about diving and  slowly learn how to save yourself and other in case of emergency. But seriously, if you check your timing under the water, keep you buddy close with you, and going down with a dive master. You don't have to worry too much. Just enjoy the view.
~*~

With Bali Stingray Divers, I went through half day session of theory and many paper review before finally go for the PADI certification exam on the second day, just right before the pool session training.

The most annoying part for me is counting the nitrogen level in our body. Blah!
The only counting I love is counting money and how many shoes I have. :D
Apart from that, umm..not so much a fan.



The package we took is included everything. The training, the certification, the transport, the food, the equipment and even the pick up from and to hotel. It's really a top notch service we had.

The Pool session is the hardest day to kill for me. We learnt so many under water technique, including taking off the regulator from your mouth, the mask, and even the BCD (the life jacket in instant). Also we have to learn under water sign language, and Arief keep doing the heart shape *sarangheyo* type under water to me when I was so concentrating to breath and get my body control under the water. So he got my middle finger in return. :P

After 2 days of stressful moment in my life, *more stressful than my wedding*,
we finally off to the open water for my very first dive in my life.

~*~

Our very first open water dive started with buddy check, just to make sure our oxygen is working properly and the BCD( the jacket) is fit properly and we are good to go.
BTW, that Oxygen tank is seriously FUCKING heavy. I barely could lift my 15kg luggage up and down the stairs, but I have to carry this to steps into the water. Bloody hell.

Walking down to the Aisle Sea..

The moment we got into the water, we've gotta float and put on our fin.
This is also quiet a hard work. Shit, I never know that diving require quite a physical muscle.

After all set and done, we deflate our BCD and off we down to the underwater world...

Tulamben
Wreck Dive on American Cargo US Liberty from the World War II.
Spotted: Baracuda, Clown fish, Anemon, Garden Eel, Moray Eel, Nude branch , Sweet lips fish, stingray, Orang utan crab and frog fish.

It is super breath taking..

I could stay here..all day long..

Look at this little creature..

Garden Eel

Look at this cute and shy Nudebranch..

And see how small it is in the ocean..btw, Nice to meet you Nudee.

Ghost pipe fish

Another nude branch

We also practise how to take alternative oxygen from our friend just in case we have problem with ours.

Practising in the pool and in the sea is totally 2 different things, as in pool, you know if something goes wrong..u can always flip your fin up to the surface to breath some oxygen. But if it's in the sea, it's a totally different scenario, we are in 17 metres deep, even we have left oxygen in our lung, we can't just flip it up due to the different pressure, it will cost a lung expansion injury. SO, take diving seriously in a fun way.

Because after all, we don't have fish fin to breath.

~*~

Second day dive, we went to Padang Bai

Spotted: Shark, Giant cuttle fish, Scorpio fish, long tom, Giant Sea turtle, hugeass lobster, and Soldier fish.

I don't have photos on the second day, because the visibility of the water is only 8 metres. 

Totally different from the smooth and pretty dive in Tulamben.

This one is quite tough because of the strong currents, and also this time we jump straight away from boat.

We were looking for a sea turtle and shark during this dive, and it was amazing..we saw a super BIG sea turtle just enjoying on a red plate-alike coral. It was so, OMG! very beautiful. We also saw 2 medium small shark resting by the bottom of the sea. Not fancy shark much, but suddenly we saw quite a sharky shadow pass by near us, which is a medium big size of shark. That's where the adrenaline start to kick a little bit.

~ totally a typical Noob diver~

I must say, every dive..is totally a different experience to another.

Shit, I think I am addicted to it.

~*~

I will close this entry with my temporary diving cert * YAY~*

And a proud me to be a certified diver!

Not because I made it, but also it's because I could conquer my fear.

Happy diving everybody.
