Happy birthday (again) to me!

Again?

Yup. Actually my birthday is on December 16th, and since it's already march, people arent supposed to say happy birthday to me anymore. But in fact they did, because i just celebrated my-so-called-24th birthday party on last weekend, March 5th,2011 at Seaside Suki Ancol.

Actually it wasnt only my birthday party, but it was also Erin, Melisa, Susanto, and Ade's birthday party. We celebrated it together, though it's not a real birthday party anymore. But we just wanted to meet our old high school friends, and had quality time together. And it was indeed a great time. Meet up with old friends is always fun.

On my last two birthdays, i had a 'bad habit' to celebrate my birthday late. Last year, i just had my birthday dinner with them around July. What a record haha. And this year was getting better i suppose, since i held it on march, 'only' 3 months late haha. And if you wonder why, well, December is always my busy season. It's kinda hard for me to make a dinner with them during christmas preparation and year end vacation.

Well, the good side of having late birthday dinner is, you can feel like you have two birthday in a year! Two days for being like a princess *lebay. And this is what i love most, i still get presents even if it wasnt my birthday anymore hahaha.

And these are what i got for this (last) year birthday.

The birthday cake

Very creative isnt it? The cake was made by my friend, Dian who is very talented in making any kind of cake. Veryy delicious.

And you see our photos on the cake? It was made by another friend, Kwok Albert who is really talented in graphic designing. I really love this cake. Purrfect :D

Thank you girls!

The birthday boys and girls

all of us

One last best thing about my late birthday dinner is, i got another surprise from my boyfriend. He gave me this


Well, it actually a 'cheer up' gift and card, but since i just had my late birthday dinner, he gave that birthday card instead. Wow i was really surprised. I love fragrance, i love lotion, and i love the body shop. And did you notice the card? It says, "Happy birthday! To keep young it's a good idea to go to sleep early" hahaha. Well, it's just soo him. Big thank you to you, dear :D



I cant say enough THANK YOU to all of you guys. I am really blessed having you guys in my life. Muach.

*Thanks for Marcel Spencer for those photos

For my dear sister

Dear my sister, Nirmala Putri

Hai cici, ini template blog yang aku pilihin buat cici, yang menurut aku cici banget hahaha. I hope you like it.

Aku sebenernya ga tau yang cici suka kaya gimana, paling ga bisa nebak selera orang. Waktu nyari template, yang kepikiran adalah warna kuning/orange (as you requested), something simple yet complicated, something mature, and something sensitive yet strong. Dan 1 lagi, something to do with nature; entah kenapa kalo inget cici kayanya tema alam itu masuk aja haha.

Dari sekian banyak pilihan, aku udah persempit jadi 2. You can choose which one you like most, or if you didnt like both of them, it's ok though :)

Semuanya aku ambil dari Shabby blogs, yang salah 1 nya aku jadiin template blog aku juga. Dan karena aku ga bisa share link per item dari situ, jadi aku kasih judul dan preview aja ya, nanti cici cari sendiri di blognya. okay?

The first one, outer banks



As i said before, nature themes reminds me of you, dunno why, especially beach themes. Walo cici bukan gadis pantai, tapi berasa identik aja buat cici haha. Match with your personality somehow, unpredictable. And because for me, beach reminds me of hope, as my dad said just go to the beach and you'll find hope. So, whenever you looked at this theme, I want you to remember that you should never lose hope, and never give up. Cia yo! :D

The second one, Spring sunrise


Sekilas, theme ini terlihat simple, but if you looked closely, u'll find that it isn't that simple. Kalo di zoom gambarnya, bakal keliatan ada semacam teks yang seakan tertimpa warna oranye. Something is hidden behind that cheerful color. I think in someway, it's just like you. Dari luar ceria, tapi kalau kenal lebih dalam, ada hal-hal yang di keep dengan baik dan rapat, yang mungkin ga tampak dari luar. You know, sometimes i admire you in hiding your feeling ci :) And like everything else, it has both positive and negative sides.

Warna oranye di theme ini kalem, tapi ada garis vertikal abu2 yang memberi kesan kuat. Sensitive, yet strong enough. Just like you, kuat tapi rapuh, peka tapi cuek juga. Am i right? :)

Desain keseluruhan yang terlihat 'mature', dan gambar bunga realis yang memperkuat kesan dewasa. So, for me, ini desain theme yang paling mewakili dirimu, ci..

Jadi 'utang' aku udah kelar yahh..hihi. Just tell me, do you like it? And do you think i am right in analyzing you? hahaha.
