my lovely parents

Mom was in her mid 30s and Dad was around 40
Painted by a local artist in a small area around Jepara, Mid Java
....long...long time ago...


Does love at first sight exist? ... Well it does...
Dad never had a girl friend until he met Mom
They met through friend at work.
Dad was a young engineer and Mom was a legal staff.


When Dad saw Mom's smile for the first time,
he knew that he found the love of his life...

They married 6 months later...

....Dad died two months ago, and really...
...only death do they apart...


Love you both...

I Miss You ...

Wednesday, 10 June 2009 10 comments


I lost my very best friend almost a month ago...

my best friend who taught me so much, I could never say all…
who stood by me whether I was right or wrong…
who just proud of me even for my small achievement…
who always protected me… loved me…

and he is my father

He died while taking a nap. It was a sudden for us but very peaceful - because I could see him smiling. He had no sickness nor felt like he was dying… doctor said it was a heart attack…
He surely never gave us any burdens and no hustles…

I miss him so much… more than I can say…


Sometimes I feel it was not right... He supposed to watch my children grow... attend his 40th wedding anniversary with Mom that we have planned… But I believe more than anything that he is safe and happy in his new place…


As long as I’m living, you will stay in my heart…
I love you Dad…

I don't know how many times I heard that phrase since internet & mobile phone concord the world. Years ago, when checking email become one of my daily activity, I started connecting with friends from university, and obtain new friends & contacts from network.





Then blog came along - adding new friends from around the world, and easily share thoughts....


Now facebook, won't even believe who I will meet there - friends from elementary, junior, senior, universities, clubbing mates... ;-) to people I would love to know. And I could be updated with their activities at anytime without asking...

Award for my blog - Award for my busy days

Friday, 3 April 2009 4 comments

Hello my blog…. Hi my lovely bloggers friends….
Miss you so much…..

First of all thank you for Artist Unplugged for giving me Friends and Sisterhood awards, very sweet of you – I love it. She is a very talented artist, consistent and has lots of beautiful collections – I recommend you to visit her blog. Amongst her paintings and sketches, the one that I like the most is a housewife hanging cloths, the color is simple & soft but so real. Really sorry that I won’t be able to pass the award to my fellow bloggers at this time…




Second of all - After weeks or perhaps months where I couldn't be able to enjoy life as I should be - I took a short holiday to Bali. Enjoying beach and culture so much.... especially watching kecak dance on the top of Uluwatu cliff – during sunset…. Beautiful scenery…. Paid off…

A copycat

Tuesday, 24 February 2009 4 comments

oil on canvas, (60 x 40) cm


While one should always study the method of great artist, one should
never imitate his manner. The manner of an artist is essentially
individual, the method of an artist is absolutely universal. The first
is personality, which no one should copy; the second is perfection,
which all should aim at.

Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900)
