life from a balcony

I live in a top floor of the apartment building number 5.

I love everything about this apartment building, except that it has stairs (in small steps), in the ground floor corridor where the main door is. It didn't really matter before, but now it start to annoy me. It's not user friendly for people who walk in wheels like handicaps or babies in the stroller. I'm not strong enough to carry the whole stroller plus baby in it through the stairs. While I can't be so mobile anymore, it would be nice to stroll outside the house sometimes for a change, especially in the weather like now. It started to get cooler but not so cold. It's warm, not hot. But alas, I can't do it just because of those little annoying stairs around the main door!

What I can do is only take the stroller out to the medium or big size balconies in my apt. Or sometimes I just carry the little boy out there to see things and feel the fresh air. The routine to walk/stroll in the medium balcony has been going on since about 7 weeks ago, around 4-6pm, before the little boy's bath time. This medium balcony is facing east and the main street where other buildings are, so it's busier than the other balcony and not sunny during those hours.

I was not intentionally observing, but went out to the same spot everyday at the same time,... I can't help myself to notice unimportant routines that happened around my neighbourhood:

- a van will deliver a box of meal for the guard of the building next door
- a white-brown cat will move back and fort or sit on the top of the wall fence across the street
- a grey Prado will come and park at building number 4 across the street, then a well dressed women with a toddler and a baby carried by maid will emerge from the front door and jump into the car
- a car will stop in front of my building, the driver will dial his hand phone. Not long after a teenage boy will come out of my building and jump into the car.
- a funky sport car will stop across the street, at the building number 4, to let a trendy women out of the passenger seat then the car will leave with loud sound
-a truck selling gas will pass on the other street, it has loud musical sound like ice cream seller.
- a man who I guess is a driver will clean a car across the street
- two Filipino maids will be at the front of the house number 6 across the street, gardening. Sometimes they chat with the maid who is watering the garden at the first floor in my building.
- my neighbour at the first floor watering her garden every second day.
- a man will walk a dog that looks like chihuahua. The man always busy with his hand phone. Either texting, or talking on the phone.
- a boy will pass by with his bike, with two plastic of arabic breads hanging on each side of the handlebar.

Very unnecessary. But that's one of the thing that keep my mind in place after being at home the whole day.

A Shadow

whose shadow is it??

it's a shadow of no one!

it's only a shadow of the funky cutting tree in front of my neighbour's house

Buddies

Just killin the time...

It's a rainy gloomy day today. Good time for snuggling up at home, had a cup of (decaf) coffee with mozart at the background, and played around with left over pictures.

Cheery Mood

New Year, new appearance. Yup,.. new template, again!

Some people like my last template and made a good comment of it, but I just need a refreshment. This new template represent what I feel and what I want to feel in the next 4-5 months. It's bright, colourful, and unique with the spiral main body. I need this colour in this winter and pregnancy season. The bright colours will cheer me up, bring more energy, and turn me to warm and happy mood.

However, i'm not sure how long it going to last, as I get bored quite easily and always want new challenge, new style, new appearance. :)

Talking about new year and new look,... I finally had my hair dyed and cut my fringe bit more shorter just a day before new year eve. Simply to say, I have a new look too. :)

Poor G Of Mine

It must be hard to be a g-string, especially it's back side, where it always have to stuck between buttocks. Lucky if it gets to clean nice puffy fragrant buttock. I feel so sorry for them....

Mmmm..... i'm not sure why I wrote this. It might be effect of the flu. ;p

But also maybe because I accidentally bought wrong undies and can't wear them. About 5 of them, and all are g-string model. I never have or worn g-string before and too lazy to return it back. So I thought I would try and keep it. It looks cute anyway. I understand it was made for women and men who especially have nice buttock, to show off their buttock, or for other people who need to wear it when they wear white or tight pants, and swimwear. And it does look good when i see other people wear it. But I didn't work for me. Not that I don't look good (*grin*) but mainly coz I don't feel convenient. I tried few times,... but always can't last long. At least half day and I would change to usual undies again. Well, at least I've tried. While I'm sure some people used to wear this and feel convenient, still I wonder if some other people feel inconvenient but wear it anyway just for the sake of their buttock's look in public. I can't see if it's worth it enough for me. Being convenient when you wearing something is number one for me, especially if it's about underwear. I do not see the need for me to use g-strings model. My buttock looks good enough already with usual undies. :D I've decided, I'm not a g-string person! ;p

So I don't know what to do with my g-strings now. They might just sit in the drawer for a looooong time.

Btw, I woke up this morning feeling much better than yesterday. But I still feeling weak, have runny nose and sore mucle and a bit of cough (*uhuk..uhuk..*)

Bamboo Mambo

Ada taneman baru di dalem rumah. Gak jelas taneman apa, tapi yang punya toko nyebutnya bambu. Yang berulir-ulir gini kalo gak salah namanya love bamboo.

Sebenernya sih gak sengaja, kebetulan aja nemu vas gede lagi sale. Ke toko bunga, cari yang cocok, kebetulan juga nemu taneman ini yang tampangnya unik, tinggi, tahan lama, dan gak perlu banyak perawatan. Tinggal di jogrokin aja di vas dan diganti air tiap minggu.

Ternyata taneman ini juga masih tergolong salah satu lucky bamboos. Menurut feng shui taneman bambu simbol keberuntungan dan kesuksesan karena bambu tumbuh cepat dan kuat. Punya taneman bambu di rumah dipercaya bisa meningkatkan energi di dalam rumah, memberikan penghuni rumah energi tambahan buat menghadapi hari-hari dalam kehidupan mereka. Juga dipercaya membawa keberuntungan pada rumah, bisnis, dan orang-orang yang dicintai. Sifat bambu yang mudah menyesuaikan diri dengan cuaca, dan dapat bertahan lama, menjadi simbol dari kemampuan untuk maju terus dan beradaptasi dengan perubahan dalam hidup. Tanaman bambu yang disimpan di dalam rumah dan kantor akan membantu pertumbuhan dalam segala aspek dalam kehidupan. Tanaman ini juga melindungi penghuni rumah dari 'unforseen force'.

Hmmm...gak tau bener apa nggak, tapi mudah-mudahan bener deh. Yang pasti sih it's nice to see green fresh thing in the house.

Morning Surprise

I woke up this morning and surprised with what I saw outside. Clouds! It was cloudy and no bright sun! Where did the sun go?? It almost looked like it was going to rain. Does it mean summer is going to end soon? Oooh... noo... it's going to be freeeezziiing cold!

One Fine Evening

Conversation of 3 women in a fancy cafe

A = Are you just recently married ?
Me = Errm,... not really, I got married in 2005.
M = OMG, I got married 10 years before you, in 1995.
A = And I was in 1985!

Hmmm... a bit weird.....

and I suddenly felt young. ;p

Another Transformation

Found this when I browse YouTube last night. I tought it's lovely and quite amazing.

Let's Go To Pup!

One of the thing I found in west part of the city. I thought I'll share. :)

Little Blue Boy

Say hello to Pocoyo!

I don't know much about this little blue boy. First time I watched him about 3 weeks ago, after Spongebob. Eerrrmm.... yes, I'm old, and I still like to see cartoon and anime, and I stay tune on Disney channel and Show Kids every now and then since I moved here (*grin*).

Anyway, I never heard this Pocoyo show before, and as soon as I watched it, I couldn't move my eyes from it. It's soooo cute! Made my laugh, so entertaining, even for people at my age. This is an anime series program for kids ages 2-6 (i think). It does not have many characters, the story are very simple and educating. The little blue boy named Pocoyo is the main character of the series and the programmes centre around his adventures, who is full of curiosity and adorable. Check the POCOYO WEBSITE and see this video. You better watch it NOW before they take it out from youtube!

Zodiac Reading

Read my horoscope in one of the local women magazine. Instead of having Finance, Romance, or Business as I normally read in other magazines, this one has mystic message, hottest date, and karmic goal. This is what it says:

Mystic message: That song you can't stop singing has a message for you.
Hottest Date : 27 June
Karmic Goal : To admit you're wrong, we know it's going to be hard.

I'm not sure what the karmic goal message means. I thought I always right! (*grin*)

I don't think I had a hottest date on 27 June. That was when hubby got home late from work and I cooked dinner and eat alone at home....

The mystic message is interesting. Since I watched the concert, I have this SONG in my head that I can't get rid off. It's stuck there, even until now. Its title, Yemma, might means Mummy I Lie To You (not really sure). I can't remember when was the last time I lied to my mum (It's true!) ;p. And of course I can't understand what the lyric says.

Never trust what horoscope says. But always fun to read and compare it to the real life. ;p

Cutie Pie

OMG!,... this little girl 'innocent' performance gave me a chill and tears!! Then I knew it wasn't only me, she did it to the judges as well.





Found this accidentally when I browse YouTube this morning. Thought this is another silly talent competition that currently happens everywhere in the world. But then I could not stop browse. Some are absolutely silly-funny and don't have talent at all. But there are some that are really good, like that little cutie pie Conny, and

Sampai Kapan???

Lagi pundung.

Bukan cuma karena sakit perut dan kurang tidur.

bukan cuma karena ribet sama pembantu yang keliaran di sini, saat ini,
juga bosen sama berbagai 'garing' acara,

lagi cape denger berita-berita suram dan menyedihkan di dunia bagian sini,

sedih denger berbagai berita bencana alam di dunia bagian lain,

tapi terutama,

gemas sama protokol dan birokrasi yang bikin barang-barang kami belum juga nyampe di depan pintu.

I want my stuff !!!!

I want my own fried pan

I want my own blanket

I want my own iron board

I want my other clothes and shirts

I want my other shoes

I want my own everything!

Moji 'Mood' Bear

Waaa... finally the moji bear finally awake from his loooong sleep!! See him on the right side bar. How clever!

This Moment

Empty big house to wander around
Dinners, functions, parties, every night
Girls meeting, walks, shops at day time
Dress up, full make up, at all time
New people, new life style
Smile, listen, remember names, chit-chat, jibber jabber
Familiarization, adaptation,
Depressing news from neighbour countries
Excited and alive,
Thankful,
Tired,
Very tired
Exhausted, weak, no energy
I just want to have a rest
I just want to be left alone, at least for this moment.

Ngoceh

Saat ini, aku...

nguap beribu kali tapi gak bisa tidur,
pingin minum tapi males ke dapur ambil gelas n air,
berasa gendut, magteh.. kebanyakan makan,
gemes sama ke-omdo-an teman-temanku,
sebel ga bisa ngeeng-ngeeng (baca: nyetir) sendiri,
bosen seharian nge-sensus dipidi,

Blah !....

Teman Lama

Ada seorang teman,... teman lama. Kapan terakhir aku berjumpa dengannya? Tak bisa lagi kuingat. Apakah dia sahabat baikku? Tidak juga. Apakah aku pernah dekat dengannya? Tidak sama sekali. Apakah aku sering mengingat-ingat atau berharap bertemu dengan dia? Sama sekali tidak. Apakah aku mengidam-idamkannya? Gak lah yaa....

Lalu kenapa dia seringkali masuk ke dalam mimpi-mimpiku akhir-akhir ini? Bukan satu dua kali. Bukan mimpi buruk, tapi bukan juga mimpi yang mudah aku lupakan.

Aaah.... mudah-mudahan mimpi itu hanya mimpi.....

Iseng Lagi

Just another 'busy' day at work. This is one of the thing I did. I know i'm being naughty here. But I can't help it. So fun, so curious, and could not do this at home last night as the internet went so slow.

What the...! Jet Li ??!! :D
Jet Li, Richard Gere and Denzel Washington are all my fav and... they are hot! Are they really look like my hubby, dont you think ??

Anyway, Happy Valentine's day my dear hubby, and everyone too! :)

Cuma Iseng

Tried few times, with different photos, and the result were the same.
Crazy. Hmmm.... wish I have Alba's body too!
