Interior of QQ Kopitiam - Kelapa Gading Mal

Anyway, after that, spent some time with sister at QQ Kopitiam, Kelapa Gading Mal while waiting for our brother. Since we have already had lunch at home, we only order some snacks: Fried Mantou with Kaya and Toast - Kaya & Butter. For the beverage: Ice Tea Longan and Ice Tea Peach.

Toast - Kaya & Butter

Ice Tea Peach & Ice Tea Longan

The place is kind of semi-open so I think it would be better if we go there late afternoon 'til evening or if it was cloudy at noon. We chose to sit at second floor. The service was so-so, but the place itself was pretty nice though.

Sista with all the foods

Real Steel (2011)

Real Steel - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0433035/

Watched Real Steel last night with Dad, Sis, and Bro. We went to Mall of Indonesia (MOI) to watch it at Blitzmegaplex. Anyway, the movie was quite good, decent movie to watch. I think it was pretty cool watching the robots fighting in the arena, no one gets hurt for sure. He he he :D Well, the action kind of helped me forgot things. But, there was a scene that made me instantly remembered of you, one of my favorites and I hope it was with you :) 

When we spend more time with someone, we might be able to learn and know how his/her true heart is. And last, no matter what we do, who we are, and where we from; each of us CAN be SOMEBODY!!! With hard work, courage, and faith; I think everything is possible :)

Immigration Office

Finally, my new ID was finished. Once the new ID was on my hand, I went immediately to Immigration Office to process my passport. Got a number then wait until my number was called. Then, voila...it's done. It was pretty simple though to do it our self not like several years ago. The officers was very helpful and friendly, all we need just ask if there is something we do not understand. They will gladly to help us. All documents were prepared, then submitted to them, then we would get a (I do not know what to call it) proof of submission and told us when we should come back to interview, photograph, finger prints, and of course payment. 

Cheers,

Immigration Office then Headman's Office

Went to Immigration Office today to renew passport. Turned out, my ID almost expired, so I had to renew my ID first in order to renew my passport. Arrggghhhh... So, went home immediately then prepared the document to renew my ID. Went to Headman's Office Sunter Jaya (Kantor Lurah Sunter Jaya) to process the ID and took a picture there. Thankfully, my new ID could be done tomorrow. YAY :D

Grandma - 100 Days

It's been one hundred days since Grandma passed away. All of us gathered together at Mahavira Graha Pusat Temple (Vihara Mahavira Graha Pusat) to pray for Grandma. Time does fly really fast, it felt like it's only yesterday when all of these happened.

Charity Night Vegetarian Banquet

Just got back from the 'Charity Night Vegetarian Banquet' tonight (or I should say last night since it's already passes midnight). It was held in Nelayan Restaurant, Jakarta. Our temple -Yayasan Dharma Abadi- need to raise some fund to rebuild our temple. Anyway, the event went well. BUT, when we were singing, suddenly I thought of granny. Almost made me lost it :( And now, while I am sitting in the dark and on my bed, I wish you were here! Holding me tight and I know I will feel safe already.

Hugs,

Akeelah and the Bee (2006)

Akeelah and the Bee - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0437800/

It's been a long time since I watched 'Akeelah and the Bee'. Five years have passed and I did not know what got into me, I just felt in the mood for that movie. Well, it was pretty cool though. From nobody turns into somebody. Hmmm, I believe everybody is 'somebody' to somebody else. Like many people say 'everyone is unique in their own way'. We just need to know what we are good at and be excel at that. Learn hard, practice hard, and not easily give up; but also remember to have fun along the way. It all be good I hope :)

Just remember, when we are at the 'top', do not lose our ground. Remember where we come from and people around us who have helped us get here today. It's about the process, right?

I think, what is cooler was when the young boy did not win the contest...not because he lost but the way he handled it. How he turned it into a winning attitude and yep...in style :D Look at the positive side and be supportive still.

W

Macaroon's Bakerzin at Home

Sister got back from Kelapa Gading Mall and brought home Macaroons from Bakerzin. A pack of 5 macaroons: Foret (Black Forest), Ispahan (Strawberry), Lemon Cheese, Pistachio, and Frambo (Chocolate Raspberry). The lemon cheese, foret, frambo, and pistachio were good; ispahan just okay.

The Devil Wears Prada (2006)

The Devil Wears Prada - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0458352/

Just finished watching 'The Devil Wears Prada' tonight. Took me five years to finally watch this. LOL. Anyway, the movie was okay though. Despite the fashion industry things, it shows us that glamorous and power might change someone. Just to be accepted by our surrounding, sometimes we might change the way we dress or even our behavior. But, do we happy with the changes? Is that who we really are? Don't pretend to be somebody that we are not!

In the movie there's a saying (I am not sure the exact sentence) but the point is when we became good at work, it might interfere or effect our personal life. Is that true? Should we sacrifice our personal life over work? Well, I'd like to believe that there are always ways to balance both. We just have to find our own way to balance it and make the best out of it. Do not let work interferes with our own personal life -friendship, relationship with our love one, and family- but also try to do the best at work. I think if we can balance them then we are absolutely will be happy. 

And yes, everyone do have a choice. There is possible that we do not know what we truly want at first but do not let that stop us or make us down...let it be our learning experience; take a step back and think, we will see things clearer and better. Hopefully we would know what we want and would be able to make a better choice. 

Pride is not everything...our heart is more important.

W

Something Borrowed (2011)

Something Borrowed - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0491152/

Watched 'Something Borrowed' last night. Hmmm...what will we choose, friendship or love? Is there a wrong and right answer to that? ANYWAY, make up our mind and decide! When we hesitate, we will get nothing. Do not cheat or having an affair or go behind our friend's back because it will turn out ugly in the end. Better to come clean...it might hurt but at least we are being honest. Once we hurt someone, it will leave mark -a hole, scar, whatever we name it- and the question is will it go back to normal? Especially trust, what will happen when we lost someone's trust? Do we dare to hope that we will get it back?


Everyone do have a choice (or wants)...the rest is up to us whether we are brave enough to ask for it, go for it, and fight for it; at least, do something about it! And when we have the chance or moment, do not ever let it go! Do not let it passes us! Because once it passes us, we might never get it back. Put our pride aside and listen to our heart.


And in here's case...LOVE. When we have found someone we love, do not ignore the feeling. Trust our heart and express it. But, do not over do it. There's a part in this movie and I quote 'My love's not really the overwhelming kind'. And also I want to add from another movie I saw (All About Steve - 2009), I quote (again :D) 'If you love someone, set him free. If you have to stalk him, he probably wasn't yours in the first place'. Do it with our sincerity and I believe it will get to him/her.


Well, at least we tried, right?!!
