SMA 8 Medan Plus and Pluses...

Silaturahmi ...the silly, the serious.. NOT! hee hee... (by Rachma)

Silaturahmi itu perlu.. paling gak bagi ku it is amazaing if one can keep friendship to last a long time.. Satu.. aku dan Sarah Anna.. sudah 16 tahun best bosom friend.. nah kali ini yang menakjubkan bagiku adalah pertemanan anak anak SMA 8 Medan yang tamat tahun 1991...

Begitu akrabnya sampe aku gak merasa kalo mereka itu temennya Putra, tapi seperti temen SMAku juga.. jadi serasa SMA di Medan juga.. dan kerennya, pertemanan yang sudah dijaga hampir 20 tahun ini, menular ke kami kami sang istri-istri.. (walau rasanya tua banget menyebut judul istri-istri...

hmm boys, hope it will be continued to our siblings.. the second generation of SMA 8 bunch... (dulu ex SMP 11...) go parbus!!!

Coolness!.. hee hee

Happy Birthday Little Lady Dasha !!!

Hmm.... this morning is great! feels like a special day already! Dasha is finally five and just yesterday she learned that she has to know how to count first before she "jajan di sekolahan" and ... Jajan is not that great really because it is better to save the money for something more useful... Hemat Dasha!.. :o)

"Amie, so is this mean I can tell my friends that I am five now? But in school I am six, right?" Correct! a big girl should know to finish her milk and eat nicely.. and know to do their homework without having her Amie telling her to do so...

Our girl is a little lady now... May Allah give the best for her.. as for now, time to hunt for birthday present and a little surprise party!

We love you, Dasha! Happy birthday, girl!

Ultah Perkawinan dan Cinta Jarak Jauh (by Rachma)

Baru aja baca blog Esti dengan judul week end husband, tapi ya sutralah.. sekarang emang bukan weekend husband, tapi holiday husband...

Sejak Putra kuliah lagi di USM, Malaysia, ya semua serba ngurus sendiri di Medan. Sebenarnya ini sudah komitmen kami berdua, semua harus bersedia untuk saling support untuk kemajuan - yah... itung itung ini kan ngemodalin juga buat kerja dan wawasan. Ternyata hidup sendiri itu rumit, apalagi kalau udah kebiasaan ada yang ngrusuin, even though I can survive.

Yah, setelah 15 tahun sama.. ini termasuk dari masa 'buddies" sampe sekarang - kita masih tetap 'best-est buddies.... sepertinya masih ok ok saja.. tapi seperti masih kemaren duduk di musholla teknik USU, atau sama sama naik sudaco ke Nomensen buat fotocopy pakai kertas kuning khusus, atau ber-sepeda ria ke kampus.. as always...

Tujuh tahun yang lalu di waktu yang sama Daddy menikahkan kami, waktu itu saksi dan ustadz semua dari orang orang yang kami sayang. Waktu itu seperti semua akan tetap sama.. ternyata waktu dan masa membuat perubahan. Tahun ini tidak ada lagi sms 'selamat' dari Daddy, tahun ini tidak ada 'perayaan kecil kecilan' selain telpon 2 jam yang jelas akan membengkakkan rekening. Yah.. semua itu ada tempat dan masanya.

Today, sweety, I would like to say Happy 7th Wedding Anniversary. You're always the best in my heart and mind. Your patience, kindness, support, love are endless - thank you for sharing your life with me, Dasha and Aqila.

Happy Anniversary, Abach!

This is most likely our faces as we get back to our real life in small cubicles in the office.. ha ..ha... (We don't wanna!!!!...we're not ready!!!... ... AARRGHGHH!!!!)

Back gRouNd (terjemahan ala Rachma... back=belakang ; ground=tanah... tanah belakang.. wah berarti back ground artinya halaman belakang rumah!!! ngawur rek!...)

Finally the two girls, Esti and Rachma decided to meet – kopi darat akhirnya, nengs! – to finalize their meetings all this time through emails. Imagine the two had never met before! They are both working in the same foreign diplomatic mission but different posts – but surely both have crazy ideas about traveling and they made it and I will tell you all about it in this “Sandal Jepit” travel story.

It was all started by daring their buddy “Cigil” who happened not be posted in Phnom Penh – so why not! They picked up their flip flop (so called Sandal Jepit) and getting ready to hang there – lay easy and cool (no HOT!) to enjoy the mysterious Cambodia, the land of the ancient Siamese kingdoms and temples (so called “wat” in Thai and Khmer, but “candi” in Indonesian)

This is of course Rachma’s side of the story (Hey, Yo! Esti, you promise to add on the other link.. work on it, girl!)
