Especially for you: Mother.

Today, as I said previously, is my Mum's birthday. It's her 42nd year of life. No fancy gifts for her, only a little greeting card from me. But, I'm sure it still is meaningful for her. For me, it is a special gift, because it contains my gratefulness and thankfulness to my Jesus for giving me such a special mother, and my thankfulness to her for being who she is all this time, a mother to me and my siblings. I feel that 'thank you' is never enough when it's compared to what she's done for me since the first time I was in her womb, but from her point of view, a little 'thank you' might be able to put a smile on her face.
That's what most important about it. To make her smile. To make her happy.

In my life, these are the important things: To please my Jesus by obeying Him. To make my parents happy. And, if I become a wife in the future, be a good wife and have a happy family. Sounds simple, but not so easy, huh?

Well, during dinner at Widuran Resto, after a phonecall from Oma, my mum mentioned about how all Oma's children don't even take care of her. (Oma is not my blood-related grandma, but she takes me as her grand-daughter). My mum, then, continued about her thought that one day, she might be in the same situation, too. That is, when she (and my dad, too) grows older, none of her children will take care of her (or him). I said that it will never happen that way, because I will not let it happen. Never.
After all that they have done for us (I and my siblings) and how they teach everyone of us, I am very sure that none of us will ignore our parents when they grow older. And I will make sure of that. :)
There are no fancy words.
Only gratefulness and thankfulness to our Jesus Christ for who you are.
And prayers for blessings, wisdom, peace and joy continually pour out in your life from Heaven.
And thankfulness to you, for being the best Mother in my world.
I love you, Mum!

Jesus bless you and be with you always.

love,

.Cece.

T uesday, 29th August 2006 has became a special day for both Lan and I. Why? Well... let me tell you the story. Around five in the afternoon, Lan rang me telling me not to cook, because he will treat me for dinner. So I just waited with no thought of what will happen afterward. In the middle of me watching Marrying a Mafia , my phone rang again. It was Lan, saying that he is outside the entrance door of the hall I live. It was about six o'clock. I quickly paused the movie, grabbed my keys and ran to open the door for him. When I met him at the door, he was formally clothed and holding a bouquet of roses (and a plastic bag). I was surprised... for him to buy me a bouquet of roses in United Kingdom was the first time, I don't ask for it, because I know flowers are quite expensive here. Suspicion came to me for awhile along with the question 'what is he up to this time?!' . But I quickly brushed it off thinking that maybe he was just being nice since we only have several d...

A loha!!! I am back from busy days... I miss my blogging world so much hehehe... probably missed a lot of stories as well from you guys. Oh well... now that the exams are over , I can have a little bit relaxation for myself. For the last several weeks, I and my feelings have been up and down... There are times I am sad, stressed out, happy, leaping in joy, oh... it is a mixture of feelings. Well, I don't really want to discuss any of them in particular, but this post is just to tell you that I am back. Now, I have so much blogwalking to do! So wait for me in your blog, okay!!

A khirnya ludes sudah kertas lipat yang dikirim mamiku dalam jangka waktu kurang dari seminggu! Sayangnya jumlahnya kurang, jadinya botolku hanya terisi separuh. *Ada yang mau nyumbang ngirim? Karena aku tahu di sini tidak ada yang jual kertas lipat yang seperti itu, adanya yang bujur sangkar saja* So, here is the picture. Gak terlalu jelas sih, tapi ya kanggo lah ya hehe... Tak terasa sudah 2/3 dari liburanku terlewati, tugas belum semuanya tuntas, tapi mata terasa penat karena harus membaca banyak jurnal dan buku tebal untuk mencari data... *sob* Jadi minggu depan, bakal full time doing homework deh! Tadi *jumat* aku bereksperimen di dapur. Bikin brownies... belum aku coba sih rasanya bagaimana kue yang baru keluar dari oven itu, tapi waktu mengaduk adonan, rasanya sudah pas. Aku bikin kue dalam rangka ultah si Lan tanggal 13 kemarin. Kebetulan dia sudah kembali dari Cambridge, jadi besok aku akan berkunjung ke tempatnya dengan membawa kue brownies dan hadiah ulang tahunnya . Semog...
