The house where I grew up

Above is the picture of the house where I grew up. The house is still standing on it's original location, but it's been renovated, so it looks different. We lived here for a good eight years, before we move to a better and safer neighbourhood after the 1998 riots.

This house is much smaller than the house we live in now, and we don't have as much as we do now, but this house is the BEST. This is the place where our family is at it's best, quality wise. Not saying that we are not great now, but it was so much better before (maybe I felt this way because I was just a little kid before, so I don't know much about life) It's amazing how living small makes you feel more contented.

So many happy memories happened in this house. We play in the front yard a lot, and on the street as well. We rode our bikes, and catches fishes on the sewer, running around chasing dragon flies, or play with the neighbour on the street. Climbed over the wall to get into our neighbour's house, or play cards and exchanged sailor moon cards while we were sitting on the wall.

Old picture in a band

My friend, Astrida found old pictures from Junior High, and scanned it.
I got tagged, and it is a picture of me (and some other people) in a band ! Playing BASS !!!

I don't even remember playing that day. I still remember wearing the outfit, but not remember being on the stage play music.
It was our junior high's farewell party, where we stay in the school all night.
It was fun.
The skinny guy on the blue shirt was my ex boyfriend, Adit, whom I dated for 1,5 years.
And actually we're going to have a wedding reception on the same day! What a coincidence!

I remember wearing those jeans which previously belong to my dad, modified with some appliques, black spyderbilt t-shirt (was my fave t-shirt), basketball shoes, and a long sleeves shirt belong to him.

Sesuatu untuk diingat

Lagu yang diciptakan :

Ada gadis manis, 

dengan rambut pendek

Membuat semua orang 

kesamber geledek

Kulitnya yang putih sekaligus mulus

................. (Can't remember the text here)

Sekarang dia berada di dalam

pelukanku.....oooo...pelukanku....

Oh Tuhan, ku berterima kasih

mendapat seorang gadis 

yang berparas manis

Akan kujaga dia 

sampai akhir nanti....

Tak kan kubiarkan

All my only dreams by The Wonders

Rumah angan-angan sama ruang band-nya

Diary / Memory book from Elementary School Time...

During elementary school, especially when we're in the 6th grade, there is something popular called Diary.

This Diary is a thick book, really looks like a journal where people usually get their daily life written.

But in our school, it's different.
We give this diary to our friends, to fill.
They will write their name, birthday, hobbies, favorite food and drinks, what they want to be, and so on.

I have mine, and when I clean up my bedroom yesterday, I found it !
And I knew right away that I have to scan and put it on Facebook, tagging along my elementary school friends.

Here are some scanned file of my diary :

translation :

Georgiana Natasha Marinska Lukman (my full name)

Please fill in this memorial book

Rules :

1.Photo is a must

2. Address , phone number

3. Neat

4. Do not write in other's pages

Thanx!

Then, as an owner, I will write first, and below is my page:

As you can see, the date is on October 15, 1995

So I wrote down my full name, nick name, home address, religion, best friends, fave animal, fave drinks...Originally I have my picture there, but I don't know where it is now.

And some other of my friends pages :

Samuel's (Ucok) page

He got commented a lot, because his page is so funny.

He used to be so small, but seems like he is pretty tall now.

He wrote "kiss your parents before you kiss your gf/bf"

Dea's page

Julius Ali's page.

He is special. During 6th grade, he is sitting in front of me. That time, me and my deskmate, Paulus, used to be very naughty. I used to kick on his chair, and Paulus did the same mischievous things to him.

He has diabetes, and he passed away on April 18, 1996, even before the final exam of Elementary School.I remember crying so hard at his house. Now, I feel so lucky that I have him write on my diary.

Anas's page.

Here he already wrote down his boyfriend type, which is :

1. handsome

2. mighty and strong

3. caring

4. funny/comedian

Of course I tag his bf into this picture (his BF is Ritter, which is also our elementary school friend !)

And this page is a blast ! super funny...

There are some other pages,

but I will only put some here.

And yesterday, my facebook was so busy because of tons of comments coming from them.

It was super funny, and it made my day (and probably some other friends as well)

Highschool Life is FUN !!

Raymond-Sentio-Feri-Dhana-Yanto (+)-Arie-Ason-Denni

Frenki-Me-Erik

Kemang Pratama 2001

Me-Devi-Maria

Felice

Kemang Pratama 2002

Meet THE BLAST !!

They are my group of friends when I was in high school, its all started when Frenki-Maria got together, followed by Devi-Sentio, and since Me and Felice are friends with Maria and Devi, and Frenki-Sentio are friends with the rest of the boys, we became Friends.

With them I had a great time during highschool.

Most of the time we went out together, like to malls, birthdays (lots of it), and to Puncak !

The main group was : 4 girls and the boys except Yanto(+)-Arie and Dhana.

We also went swimming together at my neighborhood's sports club, and I remember we always had so 

muchhhh fun 

Recently I saw their (the boys) pictures at Bali. I miss them so.

I wish I (and the girls) could go with them, but I think it remains as dream, since Maria and Devi are married, and NOT with their bf on this pictures, and Devi have 1 daughter already.

Felice is in Germany.

And I, oh I'm the happy go lucky one ! ^___^

Felice and Me might still be able to go with the boys, traveling and have some fun.

The question is WHEN ???

Hahaha....

We'll see, maybe someday :)

Miss BLAST

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Below is some pictures from highschool,

not with BLAST, buy I'll give you a little explanation on the caption

This is Saturday at 2E, Marsudirini High School. We have to wear either checkers print or stripes combined with our uniform's skirt/pants. This class is the BEST class EVER ! We're so naughty, we made troubles, but we bond really tight.

We do things together, got punished together.

Since Junior high - High school I'm a big fans of Baby G :D

2E during the weekdays, after school. We have to place our chair on top of our desk, so it will be easier for the cleaner to clean the class room. As you can see, the girl's top uniform come in 2 colors, grey and basic white. For the skirts, we have to wear white on Monday, while Tue-Sat is Grey. For the boys, the top is basic white, with White pants on Mon, and Dark Green from Tue-Sat

I LOVE uniform :)

Class pictures of 2E

I think that year we made the BEST class pictures ever. Everyone looks very relaxed and comfy here.

Our class teacher was Pak Heru.

Below are some other pictures during random time of high school

I think this is 2E's gathering when we're in the 3rd grade.

2E's farewell trip to Vila Kompas, Puncak, June 2001

 I LOVE high school, it was sooooo much fun and I miss it sooo much !

Memories of house maid

Since I was a kid, I almost always have a house maid.
She is there to help cleaning the house.
Sweep and mop the floor, wash and iron the laundry, watering the garden, dusting, clean the bathroon, etc.

Some of them stay for several years, while some of them only stay for few months or sometimes just 2 days !!

I still have some memories of them,  and I will share it with you.

Here they are.
1. Mba Mut
Mba Mut work in our house when I was in elementary school, probably when I'm in the 5-6th grade.
She was a teenager, probably around 15-16 years old.
She work at our house from morning to noon, and come again in the afternoon around 4pm to help mom watering the plants.

One time mom and dad went to Europe for 20days, and I stayed at home with my brother, Oma was in charge to take care of us, so she stayed with us. During this time, Mom instructed Mba Mut to stay in our house, so Oma could get any help in anytime.

Mba Mut sleep together with me in my bedroom. She sleep on the lower bed, and I'm on the upper bed.
She tell me some stories from her village, sometimes pretty scary one ! I got scared and end up sleeping while holding her hands.
She is also my 1st student, I taught her english, by gave her 1 page of dictionary to memorized, and give her the test the day after. It was fun.
She let me play with her hair (she is really clean), and she love to joke around with me.

From mom she learn to sew and make clothes, and now she have her own sewing machine and make clothes for other people in her village

Right now she is married and have 1 daughter. She sms my mom sometimes, and it's always good to hear news from her.

2. Mba Siti and Mba Sri.
They worked for us when I was younger, probably around 1st grade of elementary school
It was Mba Siti first, followed by Mba Sri.
Mba Siti can't read at all.
Both of them are very nice and patient with us.

Mba Sri quit to get married,
Mba Siti quit for a while, but end up working for us again later on.

3. Mba Enje
She used to be Tante Keng's maid.
But then she worked for us, I think since I'm in high school till now (there's a gap in between, which replaced by Marni)
She is nice, but a little bit lazy.
She is very honest and she is okay with dogs.
She give a good massage
and she is very chatty

Thats some of our maid. :)

Tante & Cousins....

I live in Bekasi, and when I was a kid, on walking distance, 2 of my Tante (english : Aunt) lives near us.
I am so close with them, and their kids.

Then when I was in college, I have a memory with them, which I just re-call this morning.
So the story is :
That time my car is a Honda Jazz (or Fit in some countries), and its hatchback car, small, designed for 4-5 people.

One day, in the afternoon, during the college and school break, I promised to pick them up, and go to Hema Cafe near my house.
So, first I drove to their house, (10 mins driving),
and I load them into my car.
They are (mom and the kids below)
1. Tante Keng
2. Monique
3. Helen
4. Tante Nani
5. Putra
6. Jason

At that time, Helen and Putra is on elementary school, Monique is Junior High, and Jason might only 3-4 years old.

This time everyone sit peacefully on the car (well, its a little bit cramp, but who cares !)

Then we went to my house to pick up my mom, and here's where the arrangement of seats needs to be done.
1. Me driver seat
2. Mom and Jason : front seat
3. Monique, Helen, Tante Keng, Putra : back seat
4. Tante Nani : squatting on the back of the car !!

It was really hilarious to see my car cramped with them, but since everyone just laugh and happy all the time, so it is also really fun for me to drive with them.

The cafe is only 5 minutes driving, and it was the funest 5 minutes with my Tante and cousins (and my mom !)

I miss them so !
