I took a day off from the office, and since a few people were on leave too, we decided to let everyone worked from home.
- Started the day with dropping Jehan at school. It's always a pleasant thing to do. Walking hand in hand towards her class, meeting her teacher, listening to them with updates about Jehan progress, kissing and wave goodbye :)
- Marched my way to Alfon's Panglima Polim to chop off my hair. And guess who I met? It was the legendary Bambang Pamungkas who was waiting for his wife to get her hair and nails done. I wanted to say hii but I figured I better waited until my hair was done. Too bad he left before my hair was close to being decent :D
- Received a compliment from a stranger in the salon who sat next to me. It was from an older bule lady who walked down to me when she saw Roberto was giving his final touch to my hair..'Isn't that lovely?' that was her exact words..and I couldn't smiled wider. It's always nice to receive compliments from stranger..something that I don't hear often enough in here (either to me or to other people). I guess it's not something that Indonesian like to do..
- Listened to Roberto Italian action. It took me back to Venice and Milan :)
- Picked up Jehan and shopped for small knick knacks at Chic Mart
- Lunch date with Jehan at Secret Recipe. We talked, sang and laughed during the whole meal.

One of my hobbies is..beberes! Asli, setiap weekend pasti adaa aja projectnya. Weekend ini beres-beres kamar mandi, weekend lalu kamar Jibran, weekend kapan itu kamar sendiri, trus ada saatnya beresin gudang, dapur dan lain-lain. Beneran deh, I found it theurapeutic :D.
Nah weekend lalu beresin kabinet kamar mandi, decluttering, throwing stuff and rearranging. Kalo mau cari sesuatu agak susah karena barang-barangnya udah kecampur. Belum lagi bagian top cabinetnya yang penuh dengan botol-botol.

One of my new year resolutions is to wake up early! But I have been a failure on that area so far. Like today for example, I woke up at 6:10 because I kept on pressing the snooze button even though I set up the alarm at 5: 45!. Jibran is supposed to leave for school at that time. So I quickly woke him up and ushered him to the bathroom. I did Subuh prayer and fell back to sleep until he woke me up 10 minutes later. I then prepped him to school, helped him dressing up, toasted his bread and took him to the car. It was already 6:45.
I then went back to the room, three flight upstair, did the usual 'morning routine' :p, this is where I try to slowly regain my soul :D. After that, I prepared my clothes and took a shower. I think I was out of the shower by 7:25, already got my makeup done and changed my bag. Jehan just woke up so we went downstair. I wanted to bath her right away but being a 3 year old with her own mind and schedule, she wanted to eat her cereal first. So I prepared my morning coffee while waiting for her to finish her breakfast. I didn't make the instant coffee anymore where all I have to do is pouring the water and I'm still getting used to the routine, so it was a bit messy. At 7:45 I bathed Jehan and then clothed her (this takes a while! because she wanted to wear short to school where she was supposed to wear muslim clothes for today). So we settled with short over legging :D.

A range of its damage therapy shampoo to mend my broken hair shaft. My hair and I have never been in good terms, unless for the times I just stepped out of the hair salon. So I'm always happy to try new products & regimes for my hair. Anything to make it look representable without giving in too much efforts. The package has solutions for every hair problems imaginable, from Daily Shine, Dryness Care, Intense Care, Hairfall Treatment and Dandruff Care. I think I'm gonna try the Dryness Care first to lock in some moisture into my hair. Thank you, Dove :)
..if you could call them arts & crafts that is :p
