HAPPY NEW YEAR 2007!!!!

The first time in my life to spend New Year night at home with my parents!!! We used to spend New Year with a family gathering, but this year looked like everyone's occupied and have their own schedules. Not bad... just that I didn't have anything special at all... Spent the night watching DVDs in my room and prayed at midnight. Sent some text messages to friends and families...

Do I have a resolution in entering 2007? Like always, I just wished that I become a better person. At home, at work, at ministry, everywhere! And a soulmate as a bonus is highly appreciated and expected! (^0^)

My brother came before Christmas and stayed for about 10 days. Too bad I didn't get leave from the office so I couldn't spend much time with him. But we managed to dine out a couple of times, watched a movie at the cinema and on his last night he picked me up from work with my mom. We went to PlaNgi to have dinner, I bought him some things that he needed. After that he stayed in my room watching DVD, burning some CDs and just chatted about random things. It was already a quarter to midnight when I asked him to leave my room he3x He took me to work with my dad the next morning and headed directly to the airport.

Our church held the Christmas service on Sunday morning, December 24, 2006. I was on duty as a backup singer. After that we visited my uncle's house. Met some cousins and decided to have fun together. We went to PIM2 to watch Eragon. My little cousin, Krissy, tagged along. And boy did she eat a lot!! Ha3x She already had lunch at my uncle's so we were a little surprised to see her finished off a quiche with her hot chocolate at Starbucks. Just when we're about to order a 2nd one, she told me: "Why can't we just eat some rice??" She was actually hungry so I sent her off to KFC with my other cousin, Sarah. Then we watched the 6.15pm show of Eragon. After the movie, we were hurrying to take her home... but just when we were about to head to the parking lot, another request from her came up: "Can't we have some dinner now? It'll be too late for me to have it at home..." WHAT??? She just ate before the movie!! Well, I guess children ate a lot... so we gave in and had some dinner before we took her home.

Actually, the surprise didn't end there. My older cousin drove the 3 of us (the others went different way), and on our way to Krissy's house she heard that he (my older cousin) was going to spend the night at my house after taking her home. So she said: "Well, why don't we just take my clothes from home and I could spend the night at Kak Titin's (that's how she called me) house too with Abang (what she called my older cousin)!" Hahahahaha too bad she was going to leave town with her parents the next day! Otherwise, I'd just take her home with me. (^__^)

On Christmas Day, I went to Gale's house in the morning then left to pick up Kota dan his girldfriend, Sachiko, at Plaza Senayan's parking lot. As Kota requested, he wanted to see Taman Mini Indonesia Indah, so we went there. We spent half day there, then had a very late lunch at The Duck King, PlaNgi. Then we headed directly to the airport because they had to take a flight to Bali at 6pm. So glad, I finally had 3 single CDs and 1 album CD of INSPI just for Rp 200.000,- They were already on SALE. But I still didn't get the album that I wanted. Well, maybe next time.

On New Year, January 1st, my niece & nephews visited my house with their parents. Since we (my older cousin and I) already promised to take them out but never find the right time, we decided to take that time to go out with them. I called Sarah on the way to PIM 2 and she caught up with us later on. We dined at HOT SHOTS. After touring the mall, we headed for some tea at The Tea Gallery, Senayan City. Bought some herbal tea leaves home. While us, the olders spent a quiet time drinking tea and reading magazines, the kids were playing games a the arcade and just never finished, not until we picked them up & reminded them that some of us already start working the next day.

After that, spent the whole 2 days at home, recovering from my bad flu and cough he3x Now back to work... and work... and more work... Till later everyone!!!
