The Coolest Little Capital

I love this city.
Cuma satu yg gw ga suka.
Weathernya!!

Ini yg namanya weather watch lah, weather warning lah... Bisa literally 2 ari sekali kalo lg winter gini. 
Anginlah, ujanlah, badailah....
Ampuuunn deh.

Baru seneng2 liat MetWeather App (official govt punya) udah normal, tau2 udah merah2 lagi aja gitu atasnya. Ini baru kemaren weather warning been lifted, ni ari ngecek udah merah2 lagi aja.

Good thing nya, biasanya selalu tepat. 
Kalo dia bilang mulai angin jam 9pm, ya jam 9pm tuh beneran angin mulai gegerungan. Biasanya wind gusting between 120-130km/hr.  

Kurang lebih begini deh. 

Padahal ni ari matahari lagi bagus, ga dingin juga. 
Serem kalo angin, karena kita tinggal di atas bukit. Bunyinya itu looh. Mana samping kiri masi tanah kosong kan, jadi ga ada yg ngalangin rumah dr angin. Bener2 bunyinya gegerungan booo.

Terus yaaah, Kamis kemaren apparently ada gempa 2x! Lumayan org2 pada berasa, tapiiii thank God apparently our house itu adanya di a more solid ground, jd ga berasa. 
Gw tau ada gempa juga dari FB page nya official Wellington Regional Emergency Managent Office.

Duh gw parno banget kalo ama yg namanya gempa. Gara2 taun lalu yg big quake sampe 6.9 sr. Itu bener2 gw ampiir pack my bag and balik indo loh!
Mana wkt itu kita masi tinggal di low rise apartment... Low rise aja berasanya kayak gitu. Gila deh itu bener2 one of the scariest thing in my life. Bunyinya kuenceeeng and bener2 goyang. 

Beneran deh, that moment I realized one thing.
Gw GAK takut mati!!
Tapiiii!!! Gw takut prosesnyaaaaa.
Beneran gw jadi berdoa when my times come, kalo bisa let me just die on my sleep.
Gila deh rasa takutnya.
Belon pernah setakut itu.
Belon pernah seworry itu about Onya and Andi.
Reaksi reflek gw saat itu gw langsung cover Onya (yg lagi tidur on boyh big quakes) pake badan gw. 

Dooh, tok tok toookk amit2 dah jangan lagi ngalamin yg gitu. Chooyy!

Ini ngomongin weather aja panjang amat.
Ya Wellington itu emang dikenal as a windy city. Bahkan signage nya aja portrayed the wind kok. 


The sign pretty much speaks for itself.

Bucket List

Yep. Been hearing a lot about people dropped dead suddenly. Mulai dari si Adjie Masaid, babenya si Joshua, then just now Emma's friend juga Dadaism died of heart attack. She was 29 years old, just got ,arrayed last October. Life is so fragile. That's why I really hate Andi each time I have to remind him over and over again about healthy lifestyle. Anyway, decided to make a bucket list for myself. 1. Back to NZ 2. Sky dive 3. Vacation to Russia 4. Having more than enough funds for Onya to pursue her degree in England, Oxford University preferably :) 5. Ngeliat Andi punya bodi keren 6. Buying a house for my parents 7. Karet tengsin dijual Hmmm....... Belon kepikiran yg lawn. Nanti di update lg deh

Lavender and Butterfly

My very first (and probably my last) tattoo. Why lavender ?  Because I love the smell.  I love the colour.  Lavender is pretty much the only plant that stays alive in my garden. It thrives in pretty much any weather with very little care. It lives with a big bunch of other lavenders but it can also lives on its own little bundle. It shows strength, and grace. Butterfly means beauty. Not just superficial beauty... but beauty after a storm. Beauty that was earned.  Like, after it went through struggles from a cocoon. Plus, you see butterfly (normally) in a great weather. Adds the beauty to the surroundings, like a balance in the universe.  Psalm 23:6 , is what I really resonate in my life.  That no matter what, no matter where, no matter how many bad decisions I’ve made.... God’s goodness and mercy is always with me. That I’m okay. That the God who made the universe loves me still.  That regardless how fucked up I am, His goodness and mercy is always wi...

A Wife's Heart

Postingan kali ini buat Andi. Feel so blessed beyond words punya suami kaya beliau. Walo banyak rese n nyebelinnya juga. He works really hard. I mean REALLY hard. I know I've complained about him being too busy, but lately he changed. Yes, dia masih sibuk banget di kantor. Yes, dia masih suka 'nyetrap' gw di mobil suru tunggu. Tapi I know that family is his top priority. The house is almost done. Andi spent hours last Sat and Sun buat bebersih rumah. Gw ga boleh ikut. "masih debuan banget" - gitu katanya. He knows Im allergic to dust and frankly, what can a pregnant woman possibly do? Ga mungkin juga kan gw ngangkat2 furniture. Naek tangga aja suka engap. Dapet laporan dari Otoy, Andi ngangkat2 barang ampe mukanya merah, ampe kringetan ngeces2... Gw tau dia pasti cape banget. Tapi begitu pulang he brought nothing but his big, warm smile. "Udah. Nanti gw sekali lagi kesana, finalize bersih2 - then you can come. Tuh gw beliin kelapa, mau diminum sekarang ga?...
