Graduation Day

I finally had my graduation last Sunday, October 30th, 2011
I was graduated from Tarumanagara University, Jakarta, major in Interior Design.
That was the 58th graduation from my campus and located in Jakarta Convention Center.
I was so excited and happy for the graduation since I can make my family, especially mom, and hopefully my late dad, proud of me. 
My mom, my sister, my boyfriend, and my friends was there to congratulated me and many pictures taken.
Later I had my graduation dinner, in Caza Suki, Mahakam, South Jakarta. 
Fortunately, the interior of the restaurant just been renovated by my former boss, Nobuyuki Narabayashi, from Desain9, Bali. 
Great food, great design, with great people around. 
What a perfect dinner to end the celebration day.

Rest In Peace Steve Jobs (1955 - 2011) the founder of Apple.
I'm really sad like people all around the world do. 
He's a great innovator and inspiration in our generation. 
Life would be different without his Pods, Pads, Books, Pros, Touches, and all the softwares he made. 
Goodbye Steve, maybe you can keep on innovating in heaven.

Think Different. Stay hungry. Stay foolish.

My Inspiration

I wanna share a link of someone so gorgeous that inspired me to start writing again. I found her from Lookbook, while I was lookbook-ing. First I was impressed by the way she dressed, her astonishing red hair, her red lips, and when I entered her website, I just became a fan of her. Her name is Cosette Munch. Please visit her website and her lookbook yourself and see why she inspired me so much..

A year after..

It’s almost been a year since my dad left.
So many things have changed and happened in a year. To my family, my circumstances, and myself.
I can’t say that I’m over the sorrow yet, but I can say that I’m not mourning anymore.
I still miss him so much and I’m longing for his presence, now, here, with us.
I miss his joke, I miss his laugh, I miss his hug, I miss his wisdom, I miss his genius thoughts, I miss his kind eyes.
He was a great dad, an all-in-one dad.
He’s my walking encyclopedia, my doctor, my healer, my tutor, my friend, and now he’s my saint.

I couldn’t forgive myself for not being a really good daughter. I hadn’t made him proud of me enough. And I hadn’t do good things to him, I didn’t even had time to serve and nurse him when he was sick. I wasn’t there. Yes, I wasn’t there when he left. It might be the biggest regret in my life. And it became a wound that cannot be cured in my heart.
A year after he left..
I’m still trying to cover the wound and wipe the tears.
I survived, I’m still running my life.
I live his dreams in my own dreams.
I know it’s not the best but I will keep on trying.
After he left..
I know that he’s not going anywhere.
He stays here.
He stays in my heart.

The Island of Art, Food, and Pleasure

100_4921

I haven’t post anything about Bali because I was literally had no time for blogging while I was there. Me and my classmate, Jessy Bongsu, worked at PT. Desain9 (read: Desain Sembilan) in Kerobokan, Bali. The boss is a famous Japanese interior designer Nobuyuki Narabayashi, former designer at Super Potato, Japan. He had been living in Bali for over 10 years so he can speak Indonesian fluently. Desain9 is a small interior design company with huge astonishing projects, such as The Junction, Casa del Mango, Indi-vie, and so on. Formally, I worked from 10 to 6, but in reality, the clock is ticking much longer than it should be. But no matter how long we stayed at the office, I’ve never got bored, because the atmosphere is really fun and warm. I feel like we were all family from different parents. I learned many things from this small community, from the design things to lifestyle, how to have a (my boss’ version of) balance life. We spent lots of time together, even when we were not in working time. We went karaokeing, baseball, futsal (every Friday), bowling, etc. In my last week in Bali, we went to Ubud, to stay in Jungle Villa for one night. It’s a beautiful private villa, surrounded by a real tropical jungle, with a modern ethnic interior and marvelous landscape. I was really lucky to have such oportunity to experience all those things. I really Bali, and the people, and I promise I’ll come back to Bali, very soon.

Lesson learned: We should have a balance life, and we cannot be a lazy person. We have to sketch (for designers only), we have to eat, we have to drink, we have to play, and we have to do it in equal quantities.

and here's some photos from Bali...

Bali Sampling.. The jars containing different spices, traditional foods, etc, It's really satisfying to finally see it, arranged neatly, on the kitchen front of The Junction, after a very long process,and meetings, and trips, and frustrations..
