Amazing Result

noreply@blogger.com (Ingrid Nathania) — Thu, 03 May 2012 13:16:00 +0000

This morning I woke up with my heart pumping really fast...just to see my result in the college web. Although I was very sure this time I'm gonna make it...but the subject still makes me nervous. After all it's Business Finance that I'm talking bout right...And I kinda weak in this kind of subject. BUT surprisingly, I got an A for this result which makes me kinda speechless. Finally my hard work paid off!! But all the glory goes to God! He gave me the perseverance to go through all these and I finally managed to hang on with faith and complete the race! God even gave me bonus to my CGPA which is 2.75! Will get merit award!

I'm so happyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy :)

Will try to write as informative as I can...hopefully I'll not blabber on it too much....cuz that's what I did in every essay...lol...write my own facts...ah.....STRESSSSSSSSSS l-_-l '''

As you can see...I've change my layout.....nice eh?? hehe... =D

Moschino Cheap and Chic Fall-Winter 2011/2012 e-mook review

noreply@blogger.com (Ingrid Nathania) — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 05:02:00 +0000

It's been so long since I bought this e-mook at Kinokuniya KLCC 2 months back. Been busy lately that's why. Anyway, I'm gonna do a simple review on this e-mook. Basically it's for Japanese collection but since it's available here, I quickly grab one to see what people actually get with an e-mook. Moschino e-mook offers a big sized but fold able tote bag. The bag is made out of satin-like cloth and the handle is made of plastic ( as what I feel on it). No worries because this bag is suitable for casual outing :)

Here are some pictures of the e-mook :

This is the front cover of the e-mook.

This is what you see when you open the e-mook. Basically it's like a magazine but the collection is attached to the magazine.

This is the thickness of the e-mook.

Inside the magazine. Nice pretty clothes aren't they?

The page explaining about the bag.

The bag given with this e-mook. You can put a lot of stuff in it!

Alright those are some sneak peak of the e-mook. Will buy another e-mook if I found some interesting stuff attached with it. Till then :)

Dream

noreply@blogger.com (Ingrid Nathania) — Sat, 07 Apr 2012 08:31:00 +0000

Last night I dreamed about someone who's picture is right in front of me. Woke up feeling overwhelmed because it feels so real that I even hesitated to get myself out of the bed. It's either I'm too tired, or think about so many stuff. Guess the dream has no meaning at all. But of all the people it's that person. Just feel like posting here cuz been thinking bout this since I woke up just now. It's been bugging me. Either way, I'm kinda happy to see that person appear in my dream....Alright...gotta calm myself down again....over excited...

Another memorable experience for Easter

noreply@blogger.com (Ingrid Nathania) — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 16:53:00 +0000

Last year, my church did the Stations of the Cross to let the members feel of how and what Jesus went through before he was put onto the cross. Definitely won't forget that experience. Well this year my church did about what the people did in the old testament; Tent of the Lord's Presence. They made replicas of everything present on the Tent of the Lord's Presence and of course I get to experience them yesterday. Such an awesome personal encounter with God :)

PS: Entering Segi University on 16th. It's like FINALLY!! I can only thank God for His good timing arrangements :)

Praise God

noreply@blogger.com (Ingrid Nathania) — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 13:00:00 +0000

Sat for my exam this morning. Thank God everything comes out the way it should be. Finished my paper in just 1 and a half hours. Thank God for guiding me through this exam. God never leave me alone. Amen!!

Due Date..

noreply@blogger.com (Ingrid Nathania) — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 04:21:00 +0000

Came back from Singapore last Monday. Managed to bring granny back with us. Will take her shopping- shopping next week after exam. But first thing's first. My exam is next Tuesday!! Err..I don't know whether I'm glad or sad because I'm 3/4 prepared for this exam already. But still need to hafal nicely. Need lotsa brain juice. And finally I'm free after Tuesday which means I can go and search for my next uni. And also hanging out with friends. Miss all of them.

I've been running and doing my diet but it seems that my weight doesn't really go down after sometime. Loss only 2kg so far. Ottoke?!!! T__T

Gonna sambung my Running Man eps next week on wards. Wonder what happen when Big Bang is on Running Man....kekeke... (Kinda amazed because I can tahan not watching RM for about a month...tsk tsk..)

It's been more than a month since I log in to facebook and twitter (my own commitment for exam). Amazing huh? Now I realize the importance of mail more than social network. But I enjoyed tweeting away...lol.. >.<

And of course I always remind myself to stay in control. Do my daily devotion everyday. Sleep early. Pray a lot. Eat healthy. Exercise.

So far...so good..

noreply@blogger.com (Ingrid Nathania) — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 05:50:00 +0000

Yeah like what the title says....so far...so good.... Life is getting better after a 'big thunderstorm' hits me few weeks ago....I always remembered those words...to give thanks whenever and whatever things that comes to you no matter good things or bad things...everything happens for a reason....and I believe His reason will bring the best out of my life.

Little updates:
Dad's mood is getting better and better and even better! Gosh..I'm so glad to see him happy and smiling again. And my studies are back on track now....got everything organized properly.....and I can focus better now. Exam in few more weeks....scared?? NO! Not at all!! Amen!

Threw away my geo lenses....I've been wearing them for 2 years with different color and designs being in and out of my eyes....and when 'pink eye' struck me, I know I gotta stop wearing them....Plus I've been looking for my supplier of the lenses but that person did not reply me because I only wanted a pair of them. Well now they required their customers to buy at least 4 pairs...Sorry lah no money lo.....and I guess God is giving me the signal to stop wearing them because my eyes are not so comfortable anymore. So now I'm using the new lenses bought from optometrist...She told me not to buy lenses online anymore as it is very dangerous and can cause blindness. Pink eye already makes me really freaked out so now I better use certified lenses...phew...and it cost a little bit expensive than geo lenses but its worth anyway. RM55 for 3 pairs of clear lenses for 3 months supply is good and cheap enough eyh. So people...becareful of buying lens online...your eyes are very VERY important. I used to be stubborn and ignore all the warnings...but now I think I shouldn't. So TAKE CARE OF YOUR EYES!!

Attending baby Aaron's birthday tomorrow. He's 2 years old! Time flies!! I feel so old..... -_-'''

Ask

noreply@blogger.com (Ingrid Nathania) — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 05:37:00 +0000

Remember yesterday I was talking about meeting the Finance lecturer? I finally met her yesterday. I went with my dad to meet her and discuss about my exam and some problems. She is such a good person. Very friendly and comfortable to approach. She gave me some guidelines and will give me some exercises for me to practice my calculations. Thank God for showing His way to me. Unlike before, I only followed my own way and thought that I can overcome the obstacles by my own. Remember, "Ask, and you will receive; Seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you" (Matt 7:7).

Also, today I come across Our Daily Journey about Rejoicing in Thorns. This is what the author says in his article :

"Has the presence of thorns (weaknesses) and God’s refusal to remove them discouraged you? Be encouraged! We can find comfort and security in the truth that God’s grace is enough to sustain and strengthen us in our weaknesses. His grace is enough. We can rejoice in our thorns, stand strong in His power, and experience His glory in our lives."
—Marvin Williams

Unexpected miracle

noreply@blogger.com (Ingrid Nathania) — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 05:55:00 +0000

Many things happened recently, which is more to bad stuff than good ones. Failed my finance paper again and this time feels like my whole family been put into a test again. Well actually we all expected for me to pass my finance paper and continue my degree next month but I guess things are not going according to our plan. But God's plan is more important right?

After getting my result, my dad was kinda depressed and he tends to keep quiet and don't really talk and smile a lot anymore. Well I understand cuz I disappoint him again with that kind of result but this is not what I want too. It's been 4 years already since I started my diploma and things are mostly unpredictable and hard to go through. Not that I don't wanna study but I studied a lot and things went wrong. You can look down of me if you want but if you are in my shoes, I don't think so you'll do that. So yeah, I don't even care the way people of the world look at me. Remember life's like a wheel... you will be on the upper side at a time and the down side at another time.

This time, I too felt really depressed and don't even know what to do. But I'm glad with my close friends' encouragement and faith in God, I'm able to stand up again. One of my previous lecturer told me to contact my program supervisor in order to find the lecturer responsible for my April resit paper. I prayed really hard and asked God to show me His way and yes He did answer my prayer! My program supervisor recommend me a lecturer and finally after 1 week of emailing here and there I found the lecturer and I'm gonna meet her later. And after pastor prayed for my family, my dad is back to support me again. What a relief!

Yesterday was a whole day of surprise actually. Went to the dentist early in the morning with Karen and while waiting we talked about what God has done in our lives throughout the last 2 weeks. We exchange thoughts and encourage each other's goal. After getting my braces done, we went to settle our PTPTN documents which mine is more complicated than Karen's. Went to big post office near Central Market and then back to Wangsa Maju to get my stamp duty. We thought things are going well but we're wrong. After reaching the LHDN office and getting my stamp duty, we went to the commissioner of oath on the same floor to get the witness signature. Unfortunately, he went out and stated that he will be back at 3pm.

So Karen and I decided to kill time and take a rest at Jusco since it is only 2pm that time. We had our snack and while I was taking out my money out of my purse to buy myself an ice cream, I saw something written on my RM1 note.

Hi, just want you to know God loves you. <3

I was so surprised and began to show excitement to Karen while she wonder what had happened to me. I showed her this note and she began to get excited too. But our excitement was just for a while as the stress had overtaken ourselves again. This time after waiting until 3pm we went back to the commissioner office to get my documents signed so that we can rush to KL Sentral to hand in my document on time. But alas the officer is not coming back as he was at Putrajaya. "What a bad timing!", I thought, and I began to mumble to Karen on how to get the documents done.

We called the PTPTN customer service and asked whether there is any other people who can sign on my documents and she told us that we can go to the police and ask them to sign but too bad the police station doesn't have the police with certain degree (they need some higher position ones to sign). Once again, we feel so lost.

Walking back to the LRT we called our friends to help us search any nearby lawyer firm or commissioner firm but the result was all of them were far away and that time the time was already 4pm. I was thinking " Oh God please don't make me come back all the way again tomorrow. I'm so exhausted!". And so Karen told me to just go directly to KL Sentral and ask the PTPTN people to help us. But I keep on asking her "What if this and that happens and I need to come back again tomorrow?? It's so tiring!" But Karen told me to just go and see what happens later. So we went and reached there around 4.30pm. Rushed into the PTPTN centre and told them what happened and whether they could help us.

Amazingly, the representative said "Since your document is all complete there is no problem already. You can submit it to us and we will settle it for you." Gosh!! I feel like jumping that time!!! Thank God!!! Feels like my burdens are all gone in a second! We went back with a sight of relief.

Thanks for the Elmo earrings, Karen. Love them! I love Elmo...hehe...maybe next time you should consider buying me the real Elmo.. >.<

(Sorry for the bad image, my phone's camera is getting worse by day...my phone is getting older...)

Thank God for His miracle! :)

I've been suffering from conjunctivitis (google lah if don't know.. =P) for almost 3 days....its either because my eyes are polluted with charcoal dust (bbq last Monday) or low antibody. But I guess its both...Been really sick for this week starting with 2 days of fever and then cough and cold...then my eyes... Then my long time best friend suddenly called me to meet up this Friday which is tomorrow to be exact. All I can do is keep on praying and praying asking God to heal my eyes. Was reluctant at first because of thinking of going to clinic to let the doctor check my eyes...but I never doubt God's power of healing...cuz He is Doctor of all doctors...true enough this morning my eyes are getting better and better...no more red eyes... praise the Lord!!! I can go for tomorrow's dinner already!!

God Is Able

noreply@blogger.com (Ingrid Nathania) — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 07:00:00 +0000

It's finally 2012...Happy New Year!! Sorry I know I'm late... was planning to blog on new year's eve but eventually there's New Year + Lunar New Year dinner at dad's company. Went to Grand Millennium hotel for dinner...awesome food and awesome people..er...but I don't really like the celebration on the roadside...'scary'...with all the sprays n stuff...it makes us hard to cross the road to get back to our hotel. Anyways it's day 10 of the new year so once again HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012! (can't wait for Lunar new year!! 2 more weeks..heheh.. )

Went over youtube and searched for Hillsong's God is Able...first time hearing it...and fell in love with it...gives me goosebumps....almost shed my tears too....power of God!!

credits to the owner of the vid :)

exam in 2 more days...GOD IS ABLE!!

Merry belated Christmas!! another day to remember...

noreply@blogger.com (Ingrid Nathania) — Sun, 25 Dec 2011 18:52:00 +0000

Merry-belated-Christmas peeps!! Had a great time celebrating Christmas at church last night and thank God everything goes fine. Well except for me...something is wrong with my keyboard....and another major issue (for me only lah..) that I fell down the stairs at church while going down (Laugh la laugh....but you can't even laugh when you're me..-.-). BUT thank God for giving me quite so-called fast reflexes, when I fell I grabbed the handrail ASAP or else I'll be getting broken/twisted legs or head injury or even any other injury. Managed to survive with 3 bruises. 2 on my left leg and 1 on my hand. GREAT...my burn injury not even getting better and yet I'm getting another injury.... T__T

Anyways, went to Bukit Bintang last Saturday for a 'rush hour shopping'. Was suppose to be today's shopping but in the end decided to go last Saturday due to Charles & Keith sale period that ends yesterday (went panic after seeing their announcement that the sale only left for 3 days). So since Karen and I got no time to go yesterday that's why. We managed to buy our desired stuff. I bought C&K handbag and pumps from Summit. Totally in love with them!!! (Well though I'm kinda 'tomboy-ish' but I'm a girl too...opps...young lady....heheh....slowly changing my style) Cut short the story, we went to both C&K shops at Fahrenheit88 and Pavilion and then went back home...but kinda worth la since we get what we want.. :)

Alright gotta sleep now...my friend told me that my dark circles are forming these days...hmm...time to look for an eye cream?? @_@

Finally Two and ee one!!

noreply@blogger.com (Ingrid Nathania) — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 16:35:00 +0000

My birthday just ended 35 minutes ago.....would like to thank everyone who take the effort to wish me via SMS as well as Facebook. You know who you are :)

As expected no celebration at all....I think its my first birthday that has no celebration at all....totally quiet n lonely birthday....and of all the ages it has to be my 21st birthday (well....most people celebrate it big cuz 21 is a legal age for young adult). Honestly a bit upset..no cake to blow at this year! I should buy n blow the candles myself lol.....but its okay....very thankful that God gave me blessings through 21 years of living!!

I wanna buy a new phone for my 21st birthday....self-given present since I received nothing this year......been aiming on that phone....hopefully by the time the price drops...hehe...budget buyer...or should I buy tablet?? so indecisive...blehh...

Also this is my first time crying on my special day...all because of Listerine mouthwash...tak boleh tahan....

Appointment with dentist again tomorrow...didn't expect her to take off my braces also...since I always keep on expecting and expecting...so tired to expect therefore there is no need to expect already.....grr..

I'm back....

noreply@blogger.com (Ingrid Nathania) — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 15:41:00 +0000

Finally returned to KL after a week of holiday with my family at Jakarta, my beloved hometown. Oh we did went for Bandung for 2 days but kinda disappointed with the weather...it's not chilly anymore...totally warm....did not even had the chance to use my Uniqlo Fleece jacket....haha.... Anyways we had a very busy 7 days...from morning 7am till at least 11pm we're out meeting old friends and acquaintances....7 days is just nice to meet all of them...but I think we need at least 10 days so that it won't be that rush compare to the 7 days.

I asked God for an answer regarding whether should I work or continue for degree since my diploma was kinda disaster. Surprisingly on my trip back to Jakarta, everyone gave the same answers no matter where I go. All of them said the same thing = CONTINUE YOUR STUDIES. I was kinda alarmed by the responses. But yeah, everyone needs a Degree cert in this era. Diploma won't bring you up that much. So I guess I must sacrifice another 2 years for Degree and then proceed to work.

Its already December...the day is coming and I feel so old actually....missed those schooling times!! Being a child is better than adult cuz they got no problems at all....sigh...its okay...glad that God gave me a lot of blessings throughout these 20 years.....11 months and 2 days...... I don't expect anything for the next 3 days...its just another day actually....planned to do nothing...

My back pain comes and goes and it comes again after my trip...sigh... T_T

MO.A tomorrow...too bad couldn't go and see SuJu, Fx, MissA and B1A4. haiz.....but I really wanna go 18th Dec's one....Xander first solo fanmeet....how nice to have a good time with him that day....but for the sake of exam so forget it..... :'(

Didn't know that my family is having some Christmas activities tomorrow..so Christmas officially starts tomorrow :)

goodbam! (note: bam as in night in Korean language )

Ramblings

noreply@blogger.com (Ingrid Nathania) — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 16:21:00 +0000

Listening to I Will Be There by 3rdWave.

It's already mid November.....and I need to be productive at least.....need to study all those Business Finance all over again and again....been reading them since I seen my result......wanna do some part time but parents wouldn't let me to..... so my life is currently sticking with BF until the day of my resit exam. Thinking of not continuing for degree anymore and find work instead.... I know diploma is not enough but I think this is my limit...and time is not enough.....everything is going on fast.... I think it's almost time for me to earn a living for my family....sigh....kinda depressed when thinking of these....but thank God things are getting better....Dad is not angry anymore since 2 weeks ago......before that he was like kinda stressed up when he was talking to me...probably cuz of my result and also the accident I caused..... the car got scratched a little and the house gate was broken.....so basically I'm adding the fuel (as in causing accident) to the fire (bad result in exam). I prayed and asked God to heal his broken heart....because I know as his daughter I'm not being good enough in my studies....and once again God answered my prayer. Dad always smile and laugh now compare to the past 2 weeks...I'm relieved.

People may look down on me but I believe this is God's way for me to become a stronger girl. My diploma years was a disaster but I get to serve Him in between of facing those hard times. I believe this is not a coincidence. Everything is not a coincidence but it's HIS plans for us. Thank God for giving me the talent to play keyboard at church...the voice to serve as singer at church and some technology knowledge to serve at CF then. Remember God give you talents for you to serve HIM first before others so give your all to serve :)

Counting down on 11 more days for my whole family to travel back to Jakarta. I'm being excited all over again. This is my hometown and I always longed to go there. Would like to stay there again if I could. Haha....

Nope this is not an emo post :)

ALL GLORY TO GOD!

From May to October

noreply@blogger.com (Ingrid Nathania) — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 10:05:00 +0000

It's already mid October...and I realised that my blog is quite 'dusty' because I did not update for a long time. Many things happened during my absence from blogging. Sad n happy things. But the most sad thing is that my grandma had already returned to the Father's house in heaven last May.

It happened when she slipped off in the toilet and one regretful thing is that she is coming with grandpa 3 days later (3 days after she fell she supposedly to come to KL and meet my family). That news was really a shocking one especially for my mom. She didn't see her mom for such a long time and already prepared to meet her but I guess God loves her more. Cut short the story, we went back to Kalimantan for a week for the funeral process. I miss you dear grandma and I know that we will meet again soon in heaven :)

My studies...I didn't make it through this time once again...could not blame anyone but myself.....I always asked myself why did I entered this course...I should have entered the course of my choice....but alas...sigh... what has happened already happened. My pastor came last night and told me to never ever give up and I need to have that fighting spirit. Well actually I almost gave up in the middle but I tell myself to finish the race. Only 1 left and I need to finish this. And I know God never forsake his people. I believe it's His purpose for things to happen. Pastor also told me that while he was praying for me, he saw some snake-like creatures. I think I need to pray more and get rid of the bad stuff that I might be involved indirectly (I don't know what it is tho...). Anyways, only I know what I'm facing for these few months and I will never give up. Doesn't matter what people say about me because I believe that the best is yet to come :)

Kpop updates...jajjang!!!....er....I went to U-KISS' fanmeet showcase at Pavilion last July and also Korean Music Wave 2011 at Stadium Merdeka last September and it was super DAEBAK and awesome concert. Did not plan to go actually but at last went cuz there's UKISS performing and Kevin and Dongho were one of the emcees for the night...heheh....another reason is to see Big Bang's GD TOP and Seungri...too bad it's not 5 of them...no Big Bang songs performed that night...only their solo songs. I was amazed by the power of Malaysian V.I.Ps (Big Bang's fans) actually. The crown lightsticks was all over the stadium. O.O

Love all the other artists too = FTIsland,TeenTop, 4Minute, Park Jung Min ( makes me miss the whole SS501..). All the performances are jjang! =D

Went for 3rdWave rally featuring Alexander (my bias since U-KISS), Brian Joo and Pastor Johnny. The rally was awesome!! Can see their passion on spreading God's word :) By the way some technical error happened and therefore I can't really hear Xander's voice T-T and after that he went off after a few songs. Brian's n Ps Johnny's praise n worship singing are awesome too. Glad to hear that some of the pre-believers are saved. Glory to God! :)

Alright...I'm done with my updates....

*removed the cbox (too much spam) and thinking of a new layout...hmmm*

Kaulah Harapan

noreply@blogger.com (Ingrid Nathania) — Sun, 01 May 2011 17:20:00 +0000

Howdy folks! I'm back! It's been really really long since I had written the last post...duhh...haha...Newayz thank God for what HE has done for me throughout my life.... I feel so very blessed with everything....and I pray that everything will be the same to you too :)

I sang this song while serving at the church as back up singer just now and this song really touches me. Without You Lord I wouldn't be able to do everything. Look through the lyrics and ponder on what God has done to you. May God bless you! Have a nice day :)

(By the way this song is in Indonesian language)

Kaulah Harapan

by Sari Simorangkir

Bukan dengan kekuatanku

Ku dapat jalani hidupku

Tanpa Tuhan yang disampingku

Ku tak mampu sendiri

Engkaulah kuatku

Yang menopangku

Ku pandang wajahMu dan berseru

Petolongan ku datang dariMU

Peganglah tanganku jangan lepaskan

Kaulah harapan dalam hidupku...

Surprise Blessings from God :)

Listening to - 그여자 (That Woman) by Baek Ji Young, Secret Garden OST . Got hooked up with this drama since I finished watching it 2 weeks ago. I must say that this drama has got a creative storyline (though I declined about it before it reaches episode 5).

That's not the main topic tho...haha... Before I talk about my 'grandmother' story, I'd like to thank God for His showers of blessings upon me and my family. Seriously this has really make me felt really thankful and grateful and what He promised you, He sure will do it for you. Remember about my previous post ? I was saying that I'm going back to the place where I was born do I? God fulfilled my wish of 12 years and though I know that it's been quite a long time, but nothing is impossible if you wait you know :)

On the first day I've wasted my whole day of 5 hours traveling to Singapore's Harbour Front and 45 minutes of riding MRT to Changi Airport to meet my aunt. Then we took our plane off to Jakarta via Garuda Airlines for about an hour and 20 minutes. I reached Jakarta around 5.30pm (Indonesia's time) and finally reached my cousin's house at Senayan after stuck in a traffic jam for an hour. But it really feels good when I reached my hometown! Nothing can describe my feeling....well I feel like telling everyone in the airport that finally I've come back after 12 years..LOL....

Ok back to the main story... On the second day my aunt brought me to Plaza Senayan cuz she need to buy her CNY clothes. That time I was thinking whether I've ever been there or not....kinda hard to flash back my memories....it feels like you've lost your memories after and accident kinda feeling.... I was actually thinking that I've never been there... But once I saw the big clock in the middle of the shopping centre, I finally remembered. Ugh...well I think I need to fix my brain a bit... -_- sigh... had Nasi Bali for lunch and it was really awesome....haha....keep on telling my family to eat it when I saw the menu here in Sunway Pyramid a few days ago...

On the 3rd day, my cousin brought me to Grand Indonesia shopping centre to have our lunch. We had dim sum for lunch and it was really gastronomically delicious....tak boleh tahan... haha....then went to Senayan City for a walk with aunt since we're on the way back (my cousin's house is behind Senayan City).

4th day I met my aunties and uncle (mom's sisters and brother) and we spent the whole day together. They brought me to eat a penyet dish...not ayam penyet but it's called iga penyet. Well iga is beef lah...haha....don't ask me why they called it as iga.... seriously must try! Sedaaap! At night, I met my old friend, Ivana and also her family....Really had a good time meeting them. :)

5th day, since Ivana has got no classes on that day, we decided to have a walk at Citra Land. I really loved to go there since I was there last time cuz it is the nearest shopping centre to my house..heheh...she belanja-ed me tahu gejrot and batagor.... ok I know it is some weird names to some of you...Google it yourself if you wanna see what is it about....haha... they taste good! After meeting Ivana, I went and meet my dad's friend....an uncle and his family... They brought me to Central Park which is also another shopping mall but it's newly built lar....then went to their house and went to Itasuki for steamboat dinner.

6th day, went and meet my old neighbours whom I used to play with last time. And they were so surprised to see me grow "this" way... well hope you understand what I mean... cuz when I was small, I was a skinny small little girl...unlike now....sobs.... -_-

7th day, took plane off from Sukarno Hatta airport at 9am to Changi airport....as the airport is taking off, I almost shed my tears... Not because I'm a cry baby but because I was so so sad to leave the place where I loved the most and to add that I was touched by all the blessings that everyone has given to me...all the cares that they've given me....I really don't know how to repay them....Only God can do so...

And sorry there's no pictures....cuz my phone went dead for a few days and I left my camera at KL...camera rosak.... sigh...

As usual I celebrated my CNY at Singapore and this time I've finally stepped my feet on Marina Bay Sands! Yay! My whole family (4 of us) went all the way to the 56th and 57th floor which is the top deck of MBS and the view was amazing...you could see the whole Singapore! haha...

View of MBS from the road below. The top deck a.k.a Sky Park connects all 3 buildings.

A swimming pool along the Sky Park....you can watch the scenery while swimming...

Saw this building while viewing the sceneries at Sky Park. It's an art museum if I'm not mistaken :)

Singapore Flyer! Would like to visit this next year.. :)

Look at the vehicles!

Touch point...touch point.. :)

A Sky Bar near the sky :)

Awesome payback...

Yellow peeps! Happy new year! Sorry for the very late post......but it's still new year right?? :)

Been very busy preparing for exams earlier....went and stayed overnight at Pik Teng's house and had a great time studying together which consists of 'torturing' ourselves to wake up on 4am almost everyday just to read up our notes....but that's okay....those stuffs paid us off anyways... thank God for the exams :)

Last week, parents and Sam went for Singapore for dad's company annual dinner...and yes I was being left out because of the exams.......I was so upset because if I were to join them, I'll get free tickets to go Universal Studios Singapore. I asked God why must be on the days where my exams on (NOTE: I didn't blame God....just wondering why...) And yeah then I told myself to quit thinking badly of not going Singapore and just focus on my studies....and yes I managed to get hold on my exams...Credits goes to God :)

My aunt came last Saturday and stayed with us for 3 days....We were so happy to meet her after 12 years....and then she gave me a good news....she said " Since you're on holidays, why not you come back to Jakarta with me?" Well I thought she was joking (but her expression was kinda serious about what she's talking about) and I was kinda hesitating for a few minutes.... I agreed when she asked me for the 2nd time again....I really thank God for giving me such a great payback :)

Even so, I still need to take the consequences of travelling alone to Singapore in order to meet her at the airport. I'll have to take bus to Singapore by myself and then followed by MRT to the airport....No worries...I know God is with me all the time :)

Shall be back on 2nd Feb to Singapore and have a reunion dinner with family and of course celebrating Chinese New Year :)

I shall have fun back in Jakarta...I've been missing that place a lot and only God knows.....and I think that's why He is giving me this golden opportunity to go back!

Will do more updates regarding my journey there... I'm SO EXCITED!

Till then...bonne nuit mes amies!

Wanna thank my family and friends for encouraging, helping, cheering and also praying for me...I couldn't repay you guys with material stuff......but I will pray for all of you :)

Year 2 is a challenging year for me.....but this year is also where I make new friends and I'm truly blessed to have them as my class mates :) Sadly I only have a year to be with them and time seems to fly quite fast...

And last month I finally gave up my position as GIG head in CF....it's been a great time serving CFers and of course our great boss Jesus Christ! Thank God for making me able to serve these people...I'm truly blessed! Also thanks to Kenny for becoming my sifu! Nando's on me.. =D

Uniqlo's grand opening :]

noreply@blogger.com (Ingrid Nathania) — Fri, 05 Nov 2010 04:08:00 +0000

Woot woot.....went to Uniqlo's grand opening yesterday morning itself! It's a last minute plan with my friend Pik Teng. At first we were kinda hesitated of going there but decided to go the night before the grand opening. Reached Fahrenheit 88 at 9am and we already seeing people queuing up from the main entrance of Uniqlo store till inside the mall! It was really really a long queue! Was feeling a bit down cuz both of us already estimated that we wouldn't be the first 1000 people to get the free tote bag (at first we thought its a goody bag) so we went and take away McD breakfast first before queuing up.

Went back to F88 mall and in the end we still ended queuing up because of the excitement of getting the bag though we don't really think we'll get it. Queued till we sat on the floor due to the long hours of waiting. So we kill our time by talking and having breakfast and talking. LOL....

Uniqlo's floor plan.

See the crowd! All of us were excited as the store's gonna open!

Taking pics while killing time..... hehe...

It took us 3 hours for queuing up till we get into the store. Gosh I've never queued this long in my life just to buy some apparels. Guess I was influenced by the marketing system huh.......

This is only a quarter way through....very long queue!

We're standing opposite the main entrance....still need to wait....

While queuing, its already 11.30 and we thought we couldn't manage to go to French class at 1pm but suddenly my friend smsed me and told me that our class has been cancelled! Both of us were truly overjoyed and we're happy to do our shopping without any worries of being late. And guess what? We managed to enter the store as the 818th and 819th person! We got our free tote bag! Yipee!

Love the combination of red and white!

As we entered the store, we quickly grab the shopping baskets and the first thing that I've wanted to buy there is their Fleece collection jackets. It's so soft, warm and fluffy! Got myself a grey coloured one. Then we proceeded to the 1st floor for women's apparels cuz the ground floor was really really packed up with people. Didn't managed to choose t-shirts and didn't managed to go to the 2nd floor due to the crowd and lack of time. So in the end we could only grab a fleece jacket and some leggings. The leggings are at RM10 (usual price RM24.90) per pair and everyone just grab it without looking any further. Leggings sold out in a few seconds!

Pik Teng look so cute in this!

She look nice in this hat too :)

Anyways customers will experience 3Qs there as they have to queue to get into the store, queue to try the garments, and lastly queue to pay. Thought of buying UJ (Uniqlo Jeans) but didn't managed to cuz of the long queue in the fitting room! The prices are so affordable as they are doing their grand opening special price. Overall I'm satisfied with my fleece jacket cuz I only need to pay RM29.90 (special price RM49.90. Usual price RM79.90) cuz I've won a RM20 voucher from their web. Seriously worth the buy. Heard that each person's average spent was RM500. Wow......the power of marketing! Neways, the staffs there are very warm and friendly people! Heard that the next outlet will be in KLCC! I shall go and queue up there again.....LOL....maybe only lah....never thought that the people here are so crazy when it comes to apparel. I'm one of them. LOL.....
