 dream what you want to dream;
go where you want to go;
be what you want to be;
because you have only one life and
one chance to do all the things you want to do
enjoy a slice of life of me,
single shyguy living in
Jakarta Indonesia,
work as retail buyer,
who love travelling, reading,
clubbing... and shopping of course,
since the best stress reliever
is retail therapy
i'm a happy dreamer, i believe in love because life is an endless celebration...
xoxo,
Arief

Aku Ingin - Sapardi Djoko Damono Aku ingin mencintaimu dengan sederhana
dengan kata yang tak sempat diucapkan
kayu kepada api yang menjadikannya abu
Aku ingin mencintaimu dengan sederhana
dengan isyarat yang tak sempat disampaikan
awan kepada hujan yang menjadikannya tiada*buat seseorang yang memilih cinta lain yang tidak sederhana*harusnya hari ini kita bisa bersama rayakan hari jadi ke-9 tahun*aku kangen kamu. sangat...

Delivered Sat nite Sep 05 from my youngest sister Eva and her husband Chandra. A baby girl named Abiyasha Nadya Olivia. She's Vito's little sister and a Virgo like me & Eva. Small and beautiful creature she is. I think she'll grown up as a beautiful girl.

last nite me and 3 close friends tried seribu rasa, new trendy hip and very 'in' eating hole. avoiding buka bersama rush, we decided to have dinner around 8 pm. none of us tried this resto. fortunately it's close by bundaran hi and very accessible, convenient from plaza indonesia as our lifestyle 'mecca'. anything close to plaza indonesia is consider near since our afterhour activities usually around there.
from outside there's nothing special about this place. we just see lots of high glass windows of a contemporary wood 'tropical' building, you know when you see it, just like the one we always found in bali. no entrance from the street level. we have to bring our car down semi basement level, valet the car and climb short stairs to... voila, surprise surprise, to an inner courtyard. the courtyard is beautiful. rough batu paras as floor and with fish ponds around it, it held a big urn as center point, well lit, make it a very strong focal point for everyone enter that courtyard foyer from downstair.
at right there are 3 private rooms which its' glass windows act as building front facade. at left they have white big indoor aircon dining room, with high ceiling and high glass windows. at nite with lots of candles flicker, we transported ourself to some secret paradise, feeling not in the middle of jakarta. this white big dining room fills with simple wooden table n chair and ornate with just high white curtain wrap around 4 wood column, just like 4 poster bed. very simple yet warm and inviting. around 20 tables scattered the room, each with own candle in the table. very romantic.
behind the big dining room they have another inner grass courtyard housing bigger private room in the form of glass-walled aircon wantilan in the middle of it. another wow. at left, connected with a door from main dining room, is a long room of smoking area tables. since two of my friends are smoking we requested smoking table and ushered to this long smoking section.
why in the world i write down my impression of the building instead of the food for this resto? because the building and the atmosphere created more wow to me than the food. don't blame me. blame the architect in me :)
okay now the food. called seribu rasa since they served indonesian cuisine and some neighbor dishes. the foods was delicious. dunno because we already starving, it's already past 8 pm, or because the food are actually good. the damage is consider affordable for that much dishes we order: fried fish cake, red kakap fish in mango sauce, chicken satay, tauge with ikan asin, barbeque squid, beef rendang, kangkung belacan, prawn satay and 4 rice. plus drinks: one hot honey ginger tea, one strawberry mango juice, one hot camomile honey tea, 2 mineral waters, one iced tea, one lemon tea and one es campur. huuufff, so many and too many for only 4 person.
all in all we like it. it's time indonesian cuisine presented as decent as its colleague like french or italian cuisine, which always get nicer treatment. and oh, i still love the seribu rasa building MORE than the food :)

found this old un-finished posting.
i decided to post as it is.
just for remembering him.
part of the process to let go:
Hi yang,
kamu lagi ngapain? Udah seminggu nih kita nggak kabar kabari. Biasanya sehari terima sms kamu lebih dari 2 lusin. Telfon sehari juga bisa 5 - 6 kali. Tiba2 sepi. Kangen juga. Kamu kangen nggak ma aku?
Kemaren Sabtu aku ke PRJ ma Ajeng, keponakan aku. Biasanya ama kamu. Hmm rasanya lain kalo nggak ada kamu. Hari Minggu nya aku nonton filem Heart, juga ama keponakan aku. Kita dah lama rencana mau nonton film itu tapi nggak sempat2 juga. Mumpung masih ada di bioskop akhirnya aku nonton. Tanpa kamu. Again, lain rasanya. Duh begitu banyak hal yang terasa lain tanpa kamu. Aku bertanya2 dalam hati apa kamu juga merasa hal yang sama.
Film Heart lumayan bagus juga. Romantis. Akting Irwansyah lumayan natural. Jadi inget waktu awal2 kamu dapet iklan. Bertiga sama Irwansyah dan Hessel. Kalian bertiga sama2 belum ngetop. Tapi ngga tahu kenapa Irwansyah dan Hessel lebih bagus kariernya dibanding kamu. Aku tetep nganggep kamu buang2 waktu selama 2,5 tahun nggak penting bareng orang itu. Jadi kamu nggak fokus.
Malemnya aku telfon Wisnu temen baik kita. Aku kaget karena pas dia angkat suaranya kedengeran lagi nangis. Aku tanya kenapa. Dia bilang dia lagi menangisi kebodohannya sendiri. Beberapa hari lalu dia emang telfon mau curhat dan minta pendapat. Katanya dia terlibat selingkuh sama anak baru di kost dia. Aku cuman nanya, ini selingkuh tubuh atau hati. Dia jawab dua2nya, karena dia mulai suka. Anak baru itu kasih semua hal yang tidak dikasih sama bf-nya. Aku cuma bilang, kamu beratin yang mana? Dia jawab bf gw. Ya udah saran aku kamu bicara ama bf kamu. Minta perlindungan dan kekuatan karena ada cobaan dari luar. Ini semua persis seperti apa yang kau omongin ke kamu yang. Tapi nggak pernah kamu kerjain. Selalu saja semuanya sudah terlambat dan berantakan, baru kamu cerita ke aku.
Rupanya Wisnu menuruti nasehat aku. Dan sejak itu lah dia menyesal luar biasa kenapa bisa tergoda. Dia yang menodai hubungan cinta mereka. Padahal seperti cerita dia, Wisnu yang curiga kalau si bf nya yang berpaling hati. Ternyata salah. Bf nya sayang luar biasa, namun dia memang tidak ekspresif jadi nggak bisa menyampaikan rasa sa

inilah saatnya untuk sungguh belajar melepaskan dengan cara memaafkan.

The Longest Night of My Life Today, 2 years ago around the same time I wrote this, I got the most shocking news of my life.
My mom passed away.
I was still in the office when i got the news & rushed to the hospital.
But she didn't wait for me, nor any of her family.
As she always said before, I don't want to bring any trouble to my family when my time comes.
Around 10pm we finished her preparation & brought her home.
I stayed awake the whole night beside her body. It was the longest night of my life.
I feel empty inside.
Crushed.
Hollow.
Ibu, though you went away 2 years already, I always feel you beside.
I missed you.
Can't wait the time we could meet again.
I love you always.

Six months ago I quitted my 5 years old job and moved to new company.
It's not that easy after sitting comfortably for 5 years.
But i decided to do it for a better future.
Though am not that comfortable today, compare to my last job, but i could say am in okay position.
Today, I sold my 3 years old car, paid the remaining installment n planned to move to new living place where I could walk to work cos I don't have car anymore.
Planning n prepare that this transition period will last max 6 months. After that i will buy new car, my dream car n move to better living place.
Am I scare with this change? You bet I am, but I deliberately do it for the sake of avoiding statics life situation. Add a little bit excitement n adrenaline to life. What for? To enjoy life better n the fullest of it.
After all, it only material world that is changing.
Something that we left over when we die.
Your not going to bring your money to heaven aren't you?

Itu sebabnya sangat penting untuk membiarkan hal-hal tertentu berlalu. Lepaskan saja. Biarkan. Orang perlu mengetahui bahwa hidup ini tidak pasti. Kadang-kadang kita menang; kadang-kadang kita kalah.
