Skambarassing*

Holla!

Pernahkan kalian bermain ice skating?? Sekadar informasi, saya belum pernah dan hari senin kemarin jadi kali pertama saya nyobain main ice skating.. 

Pas dateng masih sepi. Tempatnya di Monterey dan cuma muncul pas holiday season aja. Itu esnya juga buatan kok soalnya di California aslinya ga turun salju. Ngeliat arena yang masih sepi, saya nekat pengen nyoba.


Tadaaa.. saya terlihat full of confidence kan? Mantep gitu keliatannya pake sepatunya..:p


Yak, saya pun mulai meluncur. Yang pertama muncul di kepala saya: 'wew, licin banget yak?' hahaa,, karna baru nyoba pertama kali dan nggak tau tekniknya dan nggak ada yang ngajarin atau ngegandeng, saya cuma bisa pegangan terus sama pinggirannya.


Terus mulai disalip orang..


Kemudian disalip lagi, kali ini sama bocah..


Dan tanpa sadar, di belakang saya udah ada antrian bocah-bocah yang baru belajar ice skating jugak.. Ahiahahaa,, sumpah itu saya nggak sadar, mungkin terlalu konsentrasi biar bisa tetep maju tanpa jatoh sambil terus pegangan kenceng-kenceng.


Dan masih pada setia ngantri di belakang saya... anak cewek yang pake helm pink di belakang saya udah mulai nggak sabar dan berkali-kali bilang 'excuse me'. Saya cuma bisa cengengesan sambil bilang " Sorry, I'm a beginner too!"


Dan, akhirnya kepleset juga dan hampir jatoh, tapi untung ga sampe jatoh beneran,, haha,, kalo sampe jatoh, bukannya sakit tapi malunya itu lohh,, ;D


Dan akhirnya, dengan tetap sumringah saya menyerah. Hahaa,, cuma berani 2 puteran, itu pun memakan waktu sekitar 45 menit, sedangkan yang lain udah pada seliweran dengan gampangnya..


Makin sore makin rame. Bukan cuma yang main, tapi juga yang nonton,, ini juga alasan saya nyerah,, malu bok kalo nanti sampe beneran jatoh. Kalah dah sama bocah-bocah,, :p


Karena salah teknik, kaki saya jadi sakit abis main dan besok paginya lengan saya pegal-pegal. Haduuhh,, ndeso banget deh saya.. Katanya main ice skating tekniknya sama kaya main roller skate (yang pas jam SD sempet ngetren banget itu loh), tapi sayangnya saya pun nggak pernah main roller skate. Dulu punyanya sepatu roda yang rodanya 4 dan itu juga jarang dipake gara-gara tiap make pasti ujung-ujungnya jatoh gedubrakan,, hahaa... Tapi saya mau nyoba ice skating lagi kok kalo ada yang mau ngajarin. hehee.. :))

Hasta luego!

*skambarassing: skating embarassing (haha,, ngacoo!)

I believe in 'Santa' ;)

Holla!

me and housemates with our beautiful tree :))

Feliz Navidad! Merry Christmas! Selamat Natal!

Maap kalo telat yah dan maap kalo saya jarang banget ngepost akhir-akhir ini. Saya lagi galau dan moody parah akhir-akhir ini. Hehee,, maklum drama queen..

Sekarang saya mau cerita tentang natalan disini aja deh yaa,, FYI, sekarang nursery lagi libur akhir taun selama dua minggu, dimulai dari tanggal 19 Desember kemarin sampe tanggal 3 Januari. Tapiii,, kemarin ditawarin sama grower mau tetep kerja atau libur. Nah, berhubung saya ga ada acara pergi-pergi ke luar kota akhir taun ini, yaudah saya pilih kerja aja deh, daripada bengong doang di rumah.
itu pita super gedenya saya yang bikin lohh ;)
cute tree ornament
yang kurang dr Christmas disini: salju
Malam Natal kemarin seperti biasa interns diundang ke rumahnya Luen buat Christmas Eve dinner. Bener-bener ini keluarganya Luen sosialis banget dah,, Tiap ada event apa aja pasti dia ngadain acara dan ngundang famili dan koleganya. Kemarin yang diundang ke rumahnya Luen bukan sodara2nya kaya waktu Thanksgiving, tapi tetangga-tetangga, kenalan, sampe orang tua temen2 anaknya. Baru tau ternyata budaya Natal disini nggak mesti ngerayain sama keluarga aja. Soalnya kalo di keluarga besar saya, Natal itu khusus buat keluarga gitu deh, nggak tau ya kalo yang lain.
So, acara dinner itu diisi dengan makan2, ngobrol2, dan yang paling asik ada games juga: pomander & decorating ginger house alias rumah jahe.Yeyy! Gamesnya iseng-iseng aja sih, cuma buat seru-seruan. Pomander itu mainan dengan 2 bahan: jeruk & cengkeh. Jadi cengkeh ditusuk-tusukkin ke kulit jeruknya, terserah mau bikin pola apa. Trus pomandernya ini boleh dibawa pulang, katanya bisa buat pewangi ruangan, soalnya setelah beberapa waktu, jeruk bakal mengkerut dan cengkeh yang ditusuk-tusukkin bakal menghasilkan aroma yang unik. 

my ginger house
too cute!
Pulang, nyampe rumah sekitar jam setengah 12, kaget banget pas liat jumlah kado di bawah pohon natal di rumah udah bertambah,, Wawww! Ternyata 'Santa' does exist! Hehee,, yang masih jadi misteri sampe sekarang (ceilehh misterii.. :p) yaitu kapan santanya masuk rumah dan naro kado cobak? Secara yang kita curigai jadi secret santa ini terakhir kita liat masih melayani tamu2 di rumahnya,, (tau dong siapa tersangka utama ini? ;)). Dan kita juga belum sempet naro susu dan cookies buat Santa (jadi disini ada tradisi anak2 yang masih pada percaya Santa buat ninggalin susu dan cookies buat Santa pas dateng bawa kado tengah malamnya). Nah, taun lalu Santa juga dateng ke rumah intern dan susu dan cookiesnya bneran diminum&dimakan loh,, lucu yaahh?? :)

never get gifts this much! excited! :D
Besok paginya yang paling ditunggu-tunggu: buka kadooo! Yihaww!

can you feel the excitement?
tulisan santa (agak) berantakan yak? :p
isi stocking yang ditaro di deket perapian, dari santa juga loh..
jaket pink ini hadiah dari salah satu worker,, so sweet! :')
Forever 21 giftcard from Joe and mini pink tripod from Ka Chiqa! Yayness!
kertas kado bertebaraann! Aaa,, senang! \(^o^)/
Selain yang di foto, saya dapet sleeves blanket & wireless headset juga. Pas banget! Soalnya headset yang saya punya udah rusak. Hmm,, Santa always knows yaa! ;)
Pokoknya intinya sihh seneeengg banget dapet kado dari Santa. Di Indonesia mana mungkin?? Secara saya-nya juga emang nggak merayakan Natal. So, thank you so much Santa for the presents! :))

Hasta luegoo!

Favorite Job (so far)

Holla!

I love planting!
(pic from here)
Selama 9 bulan disini, saya udah pernah ngerjain hampir semua kerjaan di nursery, dari mulai propagasi, nanem, nyiram, ngasi pupuk, prunning, weeding, inventory, loading truck, nyapuin green house, sampe buang sampah. Semuanya pernah saya lakuin. Mulai dari tanah & media tanam berbagai jenis, cacing, bekicot, kodok, dan berbagai macam spesies yang hidup di dalam dan di atas tanah, semuanya udah pernah saya pegang (atau ga sengaja kepegang (trus langsung saya lempar) pas lagi kerja).
Awalnya berat ngelakuin kerjaan-kerjaan yang nggak berhubungan sama ilmu yang saya dapet waktu kuliah dulu. Well, nggak cuma awalnya doang tapi sampe sekarang juga masih kerasa berat. hee.. But, at least, ada kerjaan yang paling enjoy buat saya disini: planting atau nanem! Saya suka nanem (atau 'menanam' dalam bahasa Indonesia yang baik dan benar). Menurut saya pekerjaan ini menenangkan, entah kenapa. Padahal sebelom kesini mana pernah saya nanem tanaman kecuali pas MK Desain Penanaman Lanskap dulu (itu juga akhirnya ga numbuh deh kayaknya).
Tapiiii karena ini wholesale nursery dan semuanya diproduksi dalam skala besar, berarti semua kerjaan mesti dikerjain dengan efektif dan efisien, singkatnya semua harus dilakukan dengan cepat, termasuk nanem. Sayangnya saya bukan tipikal orang yang gesit, sat set sat set selesai. Saya tipe orang yang cenderung perfeksionis dan penuh pertimbangan, that's why saya lelet kalo ngapa-ngapain (excuse :p). Ditegor supervisor sih udah sering. Nah, karena saya lelet, saya nggak terlalu sering dikasi kerjaan nanem. Jadi sekalinya dikasi nanem, saya seneng banget dan merasa penting, hehee.. Saya selalu usahain nanem secepet yang saya bisa dan seperfect mungkin. Alhamdulilah tanamannya idup loh.. ;p

Haa,, postingan yang nggak jelas sih ini sebenernya. Lagi stress sayahh,, Hoaahhmm! 

Hasta luego!

Thanksgiving!!

Holla!

Happy late Thanksgiving!!
Thanksgiving adalah salah satu holiday yang paling ditunggu-tunggu di Amerika. Thanksgiving selalu jatuh di hari Kamis minggu keempat di bulan November. Saya kurang terlalu ngerti ya asal muasalnya Thanksgiving ini, tapi sih katanya sebagai tanda terima kasih buat orang-orang yang udah nemuin daratan Amerika pertama kalinya (which is mostly European) dan kenapa thanksgiving identik sama kalkun sih katanya karena jaman dulu kala di waktu Amerika masih banyak hutan, kalkunlah hewan yang paling gampang ditemukan. Itu short historynya yang saya juga nggak tau bener atau nggak,, hehee.. So, kemarin tuh kita akhirnya punya long weekend lagi. Mestinya saya libur dari hari Kamis, Jumat, Sabtu, dan Minggu. Tapi sayangnya liburan panjang agak terganggu sedikit sama jadwal shift kerja weekend: saya kebagian kerja Sabtunya. But that's oklah.. Well, saya nggak mau ngebahas tentang kerjanya tapi thanksgivingnya.

Jadi pas hari Kamis kemarin, intern diundang sama Luen untuk dinner di rumahnya. Selain intern, ada sodara-sodaranya Luen yang lain. Nah, itu kan malemnya ya, paginya biasanya org2 Amerika udah sibuk masak2 buat dinernya atau mungkin juga lagi sibuk berkunjung ke rumah sodaranya atau kenalannya. Btw, Thanksgiving ini katanya kaya semacam Lebarannya orang Amerika. Mereka yang tinggal jauh dari rumah biasanya bakal pulang kampung. Jadi semacam ajang kumpul-kumpul dan meyambung silaturahmi gitu deh.
Kalo di rumah saya, pagi-pagi ka Chiqa dan Joe udah mulai masak-masak. Ka Chiqa masak lasagna & caserol, joe masak pavlova (traditional Australian dessert) buat dibawa ke rumah Luen. Sedangkan saya masih males-malesan, guling-gulingan, tidur-tiduran. Rencananya mau masak kalkun yang dikasih company, tapi kok malesss yaa? Lagian malemnya juga bakalan makan kalkun di rumah Luen. So, saya nggak jadi masak hari itu dan malah asik aja nonton Thanksgiving Parade di NY yang disiarin di TV (Tou wrote about this), abis bosen nonton trus tidur lagi sampe akhirnya mesti siap2 dinner ke rumah Luen. What a lazy thursday! 

Miller family on action








Selesai dinner sekitar jam 9 dan sampe rumah jam 10 kurang. Nah, malam di hari Thanksgiving ini dikenal orang dengan nama Black Friday. Jadi ini adalah saat dimana toko-toko buka dari jam 12 malem dan semuanya menggelar diskon besar-besaran. Saya dan Ka Chiqa udah berencana ikutan black friday di salah satu mall di dekat rumah saya. Jadi pulang dari rumah Luen, kita tidur dulu simpen tenaga buat belanja nanti. Tapiiii,, ternyata kita berdua nggak ada yang bangun pas jam 12-nya. Hahaa.. Mungkin kita kecapean (atau mungkin kekenyangan) abis dari rumah Luen. Hehee, tapi saya nggak nyesel2 banget juga sih, soalnya nggak Black Friday juga saya udah sering banget belanja. Lagian beberapa store juga memperpanjang Black Friday ini sampe siangnya. Jadi Jumat pagi itu, saya dan Ka Chiqa pun berangkat ke Mall yang dituju. Kita mendatangi beberapa store, seperti Target, Best Buy, dan Northridge Mall. Target itu departemen store yang isinya macem-macem. Dari grocery, elektronik, perlengkapan rumah tangga, semuanya lengkap! Pas sampe sana, suasana lumayan rame tapi masih terkontrollah. Saya beli jeans dan curling iron (kaya rambut saya ga keriting aja yak? hehee..). lanjut ke Best Buy yang khusus jual barang-barang elektronik. Nah, disini baru ruamee banget! Mana nih yang katanya Amerika lagi krisis? bener-bener ga keliatan disini. Antrian di kasir pun panjang banget! Saya kesini mau cari DSLR, kebetulan saya liat di websitenya lagi diskon dan dapet gratis SD card, tapi ternyata harga toko dan harga online beda sodara-sodaraa,, jadi ya saya nggak jadi beli deh.. Abis itu, lanjut ke Northridge Mall. Sama seperti mall-mall di Indonesia, di dalam mall ini banyak toko-toko lagi. Tujuan pertama adalah JC Penney (semacam Metro). Di pintu masuk udah keliatan ada diskon sepatu. Pas masuk, yaolohhh ramenya naujubileee!! Orang bertebaran dimana-mana sampe jalanpun sulit, antrian kasir puanjaang banget, kotak sepatu dan sepatunya juga bertebaran dimana-mana. Diskonnya emang lumayan banget, hampir semua sepatu harganya jadi $20 atau $30 yang harga aslinya sekitar $50an. Sayangnya diskonnya cuma sampe jam 1. Saya dateng sekitar jam setengah 12-an dan ngeliat orang desek-desekan kaya gitu jadi bikin saya nggak semangat belanja. Sempet milih-milih dan nyoba-nyoba juga tapi nggak ada yang sreg. Yasudah deh nggak jadi belanja. Tapi yang saya salut nih, toko sepertinya udah mempersiapkan diri for that kind of madness, terlihat dari banyaknya mbak-mbak dan mas-mas (apa sih ya nyebutnya? pramuniaga?) yang siap membantu nyariin nomor sepatu yang diinginkan customer dan mereka sigap banget loh, kayaknya emang udah terlatih.. Nice!
Dari JC Penney, lanjut liat2 yang lain: Macy's, Wet Seal, Forever 21, Aeropostale, Vans,, masih nggak nemu juga loh yang saya pengen. Udah eneg juga kali ya ngeliat suasana mall yang rame banget. Dan terakhirnya masuk ke Old Navy. Sempet males liat antrian di kasir, tapi akhirnya saya belanja juga sih, dapet sweater dan tights.

Pulang dari shopping udah sekitar jam 6-an. Kita baru inget kalo kalkun nggak ditaro di freezer dari hari kemarinannya, jadi harus cepet-cepet dimasak sebelum bener-bener jadi bangkai. Btw, semua worker di nursery dapet kalkun atau ham gratis dari company tiap Thanksgiving. Mantep kan? Saya nggak tau apa ini kebijakan semua company di Amerika atau cuma di nursery tempat kerja saya aja.
Saya yang dari awal emang nggak semangat masak kalkun karena nggak ngerti caranya akhirnya mesti masak juga deh karena terpaksa dan untungnya ada Ka Chiqa juga yang bantuin. Dengan bantuan resep Martha Stewart dan proses memasak nan ribet yang lebih dari 7 jam (baru selesai dipanggang jam 3 pagi!) akhirnya jadilah kalkun ala Sendyyy! Yippi! Tampilan luarnya menggiurkan yak, rasanya juga not bad lahhh! :9






Yippii! FYI, buat yang belom pernah makan kalkun, rasanya more or less kaya ayam cuma lebih alot sedikit. 

Hasta luego! :D

Tiger Mom

Holla!

Actually I have a lot to tell,, but I keep putting it off because I feel easily tired and feel sleepy sooner than usual. Omg, is that because I'm getting older and older everyday?? I remember when I was still in uni, I could sleep late almost everyday because of the never ending assignment. And noww? even at 8.30 PM I usually already start yawning. Arghh! Okay, before I fell asleep without writing anything, I better start now.. 
Tonight I wanna write a book review that finally I could finished after mmm.. about 6 weeks reading (or maybe more). Hehee.. The book is in english. <-- That's the answer if you ask why I need such time to finished it. Roughly, I just need a night or less than a week to finished a book in Bahasa Indonesia. For me, it needs more effort to read an english book. Sometimes in just one page there's more than 5 words that I didn't understand. So, usually I couldn't stand read more than 2 chapters a day. But I should proud of myself after finished a 237 pages book wrote in english with approximately 390 words per page, right? :p

pict from here
Ka Chiqa borrowed this book from Watsonville Public Library. She said this's a controversial book that told a true story about a very strict chinese mother and how she raised her two daughters. Then, I read the summary on the back of the book, it was said like this:

" Here are some things my daughters were never allowed to do: attend sleepover, have a playdate, be in school play, complain about not being in a school play, watch TV or play computer games, choose their own extracurricular activities, get any grade less than A, not be the #1 student in every subject except gym and drama, play any instrument other than the piano or violin, not play the piano or violin. "

What the heck! That's popped up in my mind as I read the summary. I was curious about the author, Amy Chua, and how she rules her family and how her daughters deal with it. I never agree of parents insist their wants to their kids and that's why I wanted to read this book.
But wait, the idea of this book doesn't similar with the other true story book, The Child Called It, that told about a child that being cruely tortured for years by his parents. No, this's totally different. This's more about how she educates her daughters using 'brain' not physically.
I really don't like about what she thought about her parenting in the few first chapters. I thought she's an over confident show-off mother. She thought she knew what's the best for her daughters and that's made me sick. This's also become one reason why I need a long time to finished this book: I hate the main character of this book. Sometimes I feel like I didn't wanna continue to read it but the I read it again anyway.
Amy Chua herself is a Harvard alumni and now a Law Proffesor at Yale. Her husband is a Jewish and also a Yale Proffesor. She always compared Chinese parenting versus Western Parenting and bragged that Chinese's is better. She said childhood was a training period. She chose what instrument that she thought suits her daughter. She obliged her daughters to practice 2-3 hours everyday, even on the weekend and also in vacation! OMG! That's crazy! She's crazy, precisely! 
That's my opinion at the first time, but as I read, read, and read, I saw that she did quite a good job actually. Her daughter are a straight A student at school, really well spoken, and have many friends. In music, they won in several prestigious competition in a very young age. The result is undoubtly very clear. Her ways of strict parenting works! 
My hatred feeling to Amy is diminished. She's very consistent and demanding in raising her daughters and it's not easy. I saw that Amy was ready to be disliked and hate by her daughters. And, she's not only struggle with the obedient first daughter, Sophia, but also the rebel, Lulu, the younger daughter. She believed that her daughters could do anything that they themself thought they couldn't. She's not just demanding because she would give appreciation and something unexpected if they could do it very well. 
In the end, she just realized that her Chinese parenting could not applied to any child (which she had a big fight with Lulu on their vacation at Rusia because Lulu just couldn't stand it anymore) because every child is different. She also finally wanted to listen what her daughter actually wants and let them did it (She let Lulu played tennis). She showed that she's just a loving mom with unusual ways to showed it.
After reading this book, I randomly search at google how's her family doing right now and I found a fact that her daughters finally turn to be a brilliant girls that every other girl would envy. Even Sophia (that made it to Harvard) , who used to be a shy and loner girl, became a confident, smart, and has a good sense of humor. I found a video on Youtube that  Sophia was giving a speech on her high school graduation and on that video, someone left a comment that maybe Amy Chua doesn't make mistake after all that somehow I agreed.   

This book make me thinking about something: Every child doesn't know what they really want is, so parents have to guide them to find what they want to do for they future. It's not that I definitely will adopted Amy's ways in parenting whenever I have kids in the future. I don't want to be a tiger mom.
I just remember about 19 years back when I was still a toddler, I really like to draw and always won a competition and I also like to play with keyboard piano at my mom's school (my mom is a teacher). I'm wondering, didn't my parents saw my interest in that two things? Because they never push me to develop that talent, so now my ability in drawing is just mediocre and I can't play even just one music instrument. I don't want to regret what my parents have give to me all this time, I just want to do something different to my kids in the future. I will watch my kids closely so I know what they good at and will push them to improve their skill since a young age. It sounds easy right? I don't know what will the future brings, I just hope they can do better than me. Amin. ;) (btw, kok jadi ngayal punya anak ajee gw..)

Hasta luego!

My Happy Last Saturday

Holla!

Last saturday went really well I guess.
First, we went to Michael's, this's the name of the craft store in here. And I looovveeeeeeee this place so much! First time I came here, I went crazy! I feel like I wanna buy everything in this store. gosh! That's the second time I went there and thankfully I already had a list what should I buy that would made me keep on track so I wasn't get lost and ended up buying something I actually don't really need just like the first time. Hehee..
what I got yesterday:
1. misc ribbon (my fav is the blue polkadot, ♥ that pattern so much!)
2. wool
3. cute heart plastic box
what I got at first visit:
1 fancy paper (they're on sale $1 for 6! yayness! I bought 18 sheets)
2. cute stamps ($1 for 3,including ink pad)
3. mini puch
4. sticky notes with S symbol
5. misc ribbon (the bottom one is really sweeet!)

After that, we watched Breaking Dawn Part 1,, I can't believe that will be the first movie I saw again after almost 4 months not going to the cinema. Hahaa.. I only watched the first one and I like it, but don't know why, I'm il-feel with the second and the third. Yesterday was the second day the movie was released, so as expected, there was quite a line at the front door, with mostly teenagers in it. Ha! And the studio was full, even we got not very comfort seat, which was at the fifth row from the big screen. And yes, I clearly could hear that some of that teens screamed when Edward or Jacob were on the screen (sama aja alaynya men.. :p).
So, the latest movie surprisingly turn to be not as bad as I thought before. Well, maybe because I didn't expect too much from the beginning and I know that the rating is only 4.2 out of 10 (based on IMDB). For me who read the book, it's quite represent my imagination, except, yeah, the casts of course. My housemate said Stewart and Pattinson are always look like they're in pain when they act. Hahaa! Couldn't agree more! And oh, my favorite part is the wedding! It's outdoor, in the middle oh forest, white flower everywhere, and the same song  when Bella and Edward dance in the end of first movie was played again. I love that scene!
Okay, that's a short review I can tell you guys. Time for you to decide. ;)

Back from the cinema, we got picked from home by Irma & Luis at 6 to attended the event called Shrimp and Crab Festival. That's an annual charity event brought by Portuguese community in East Lake Area. Every year Manuel, my boss, bought the charity ticket, which was not cheap, for the interns. So, we could ate all that shrimp and crab as much as our stomach could handle. Yaayy!! Thank you Manuel! :9

we sat along the long table and they gonna brought the food
it's crazy! they kept asking 'do you want more shrimp or crab?'
the next one up to two hour since we took a seat
and there were also garlic bread and salad on the menu
white wine + soda = cooler wine,, this's taste better,
I like it! ;)
we're all using this plastic apron that made us look like a baby, hihii..
Soo,, that was my fun saturday story! Hasta luegooo! :D
