FD Gathering at Lila's

FD gath last Saturday at Lila's turned out to be a huge success. 30+ members attended the gathering which starts at around 11 till I dunno, 4..5 PM? Lotsa girls had their own 'lapak', ranging from makeup, batik, bags, accessories, clothes, and designer bags. Each participant got a goody bag from the host, Lila aka Dini (the owner of AkuSukaTas.com).. it's a cute lil leather pouch, which fits perfectly for cigs, cellphone, and lipstick. Thank you so much Dini :-)

Sana sini wedding!

Lagi musim orang kawin yah? Kemaren Winda, hari ini Tika, temen gue dari SD. Anyway, wedding receptionnya Tika-Adrian was at Dharmawangsa hotel. It was nice, gue udah takut sumpek (secara tu tempat kecil), taunya ampe blakang2nya ditendain juga, jadi orang terbagi bagi ga tumplek plek jadi satu. Tika cantik, pake kebaya adat sunda, makeupnya juga bagus. Ketemu macem2, ada temen2 ex SD-SMP, Denise-Amal and the gang, dll.

Pics coming up soon, coz I didn't bring my camera, jadi kudu nunggu ada yg aplot dulu baru dicolong :D

Winda-Aji's Wedding

So, yeah, yesterday was my friend's (Winda) wedding reception at Museum Keramik. We were ex roomies back in Melbourne. What a party, huh! Talking 'bout free flow drinks and all :D Sapa sih yg pulang dari situ ga tipsy.. This would be the 1st time that I attend a wedding party at the museum. It's a fresh change I must say, daripada pesta2 kawinan yg ga jauh2 dari hotel or tempat2 sekitarnya itu.

Congratulations ya Win, hope married life suits you!

Bandung trip

Just got back from Bandung tonight with a group of FD friends (me, Linda, Dhyta, Tjepi, Irene, Lena, Iyank, Juleha, Bebe, and... the special guest, Ayu (who came all the way down from Malta.. this trip is for her)). We stayed at SummerHill Residence, a nice lil hotel in Setrasari, and our lil 3 bedroom apartment was just perfect to accommodate all of us. Great foods, great shopping, endless gossiping, free manicure, makeup, tons of pics, non-stop laughter, and fantastic gals.. these are my way to sum up our perfect weekend at Bandung. Definitely included as one of my best weekends, I feel like doing it all over again :D

* mulai gak waras :D *

* tebak.. kuku2 siapakah ini? *

* banci tampil dan bir bintang kesayangan *

Sometimes, great results are achieved thru lil or no planning.. well, this saying is def true in this case. Up 'till Wednesday last week I still didn't know whether I can go or not (dad being in the hospital and all). I'm just glad I decided to go at the end, coz I'll be damned if I missed this fantastic trip!

Nopai's b'day lunch

One of my FD friends, Novi or Nopai as we affectionately call her, is celebrating her 32nd b'day today. A group of us (me, Linda, Rani, Woro, Irene, Tjepi, Dhyta, Lita, Amal, Fifin, Indrya, Yustin, and Ella) decided to throw her a b'day lunch at the Grand Duck King Grand Indonesia. Wait, isn't it the other way around, the b'day girl treating her friends? Nope. This time Nopai didn't ask for a gift, instead, she asked for a lil get together and we happily obliged. A really great idea, indeed.

It was a fun day, the food was splendid, the cake was yummy.. 13 women together.. chit chatting, gossiping, dan diakhiri dengan apalagi kalo bukan.. transaksi lenong :D
After that, kita jalan2 bentar liat2 Chanel (ngomporin Rani, hihihi), MAC, and then we parted ways. Cabut dari GI, mampir ke dr. Wong bentar, terus pulang deh. Fun Saturday, indeed.

Sephora - Champs Elysees, Paris

If you read my previous post, you gotta know that I recently got the chance for a 25 days holiday which includes Paris as one of the destination. Other than hunting for the famous orange boxes in 24 Rue du Faubourg St. Honore, Sephora is another thing at the top of my to-do list. Yes, I have succesfully become a makeup junkie (thanks to FD!), and Sephora is like heaven for junkies like me. I still remember how it feels when I first saw that big Sephora flag on Champs Elysees, how my walk became quicker and quicker to reach it as fast as I could, and how big the grin on my face was when I finally enter the big store. You can call me orang kampung, but it sure felt like I died and gone to heaven in that store! With my lil notebook in hand, I start hunting for the things I've wanted but can only dreamed so far.. Urban Decay, Smashbox, Laura Mercier, Stila, Dr. Brandt, MUFE, Cargo, Too Faced, Giorgio Armani, here I come! Oh, as an added bonus, there's a big MAC counter inside the store that sells MAC Pro products too!
At the end, I think I made around 8 trips to Sephora, once with Sissi (my FD friend who lives in Paris) with her 20% discount (thank you, Sissi!), and I managed to know a couple of SAs who, judging by the looks on their faces, were amazed that this tiny girl always came back over and over in such a short time.
Note: ini waktu sama Sissi di depan Sephora, saking paniknya mengejar diskon, sampe foto cuman sekali.

Bachelorette Night

Tonight was my best friend's, Denise, bachelorette party. She's getting married later this May and a group of us decided to surprised her with a small party complete with a male stripper at a friend's apartment. There was a mini accident when Denise decided to throw up in front of the stripper (poor thing!). No, she wasn't drunk yet, she said she choked on her drink, yeah whatever, lol. A party wouldn't be complete with an endless supply of booze, and this one is no exception, well kind of. All I can say is there were enough bottles to entertain all of us. The party continues at Dragon Fly, where the place was jam packed with people, hello.. Wednesday night! We all wore pink and white fur hair bandeau and some people thought we were the dancers, doh! The grin on Denise's face sums up the mood for the night. Love you girl, and we all wish you luck on your new life ahead with Rahim!
