Gadgets To Die For

I don't think I'm talking in same the page with others when talking about cool gadgets (who usually will choose* latest version of the-sleek-and-sexy-Macbook Pro, or latest version of Canon camera, or Storm BB/Iphone/, or even cool WD HD TV), as they favorite. My kind of cool gadgets are a bit different.

Speaking about gadgets, my interest is only for Dive Gadgets! For me, an expensive dive gear can be a good investment too! Of course i love Macbook or HD TV with home theater set, and i don't mind if someday my husband buy them for us. But with my own money, i rather buy cool dive computer or the latest Scuba Pro wetsuit instead of Macbook. Besides, i already have my Vaio, so what's the point to buy the latest version laptop?

So, here's my fave random gadgets which i die to buy - but due to the lack of money (at the mean time), i only can dream to have them..


# OCEANIC DIVE COMPUTER (can be used as daily watch as well)
It got everything in one package! Price: USD 1669


# AQUALUNG TITAN MICRA REGULATOR - MICRA OCTOPUS
very light with air turbo system.. Once i used this regulator on 30m depth and non can beat this regulator! Price: USD 400 (regulator only - exclude octopus)

Really need to work my ass very hard for these toys, huh!

What I've Been Missed...

...in the last 4 months:

# Tulamben dive trip on 4th oct...
# Sepa dive trip on my birthday *sigh*
#Menjangan dive trip on 26-29 nov... which is TODAY! and also Clem's birthday party there
#Medan trip for family reunion
#Mr.Big's concert
#Indian art cultures exhibition (especially for those curry!!!)
#some weddings invitations


however, i'm glad that i'm having this baby...

I Never Really Loved You, Anyway....

Just like what has been said once by The Corrs... The title described how i feel.

Yup, i never loved - even like Jakarta. Not even a minute!

Look at to these random facts: depressing traffic, polluted air (even the pollution here is polluted!) which always give me shortness of breath, random weather - but mostly hot to dry, bad public transportation (yes those stupid KOPAJA with reckless driver), flood hitting whenever rain season comes, limited energy supply (please PLN, i always pay on time!!) the city of corruptors, overrated shopping malls with high consumerism people (especially those ABG with the latest version BB!), etc etc etc.....

But that fact, i have to live in this city and not too sure why i still live in here. Maybe because it's more easy to find good job with good salary?? Or maybe because i married someone who live and worked here. Isn't it ironic??


Compare to where i came from.... Jakarta is NOTHING!


You know what Jakarta, i used to live in the city where no curroptors live freely, a city which provides 1 house with 15.000watt electricity (believe me, we used to have AC in our bathrooms, a 3000watt refrigerator and electric stove!), a city with NO pollution, a city with hi-tech facilities and mostly it's for free....!
*gowd how i miss Duri so much!*,


And I'm coming back soon to my home town... very soon...

Welcoming The 3rd Month

Tepatnya sih udah 13 minggu memasuki minggu ke 14, which is hampir 3 1/2 bulan. Jadi tulisan ini harusnya untuk 2 minggu lalu ya, hihihi...

Anyway, so far, saya masih mengalami mual yang berlebihan dan muntah-muntah sampe berdarah gara-gara lambung luka *sigh*.. Yup, ternyata saya salah satu dari sekian perempuan yang mengalami "Hiperemesis Gravidarum", yaitu mual dan muntah yang berlebihan dengan mual dan muntah yang berlebihan dan beresiko menimbulkan dehidrasi yang berat, penurunan berat badan sampai malnutrisi pada ibu hamil. Mirip morning sickness, tapi dengan gejala dan keluhan yang lebih berat dan berlangsung selama 24 jam, kecuali pada saat saya tidur. Kata dokter, biasanya terjadi pada tiga bulan pertama kehamilan (Trimester I) dan lebih sering ditemukan pada ibu hamil untuk pertama kalinya (Primigravida). Berat badan sempat turun 4kg, dan akhirnya dokter merekomendasikan untuk bed rest total dan rawat inap untuk infus. Tapi untungnya nggak sampe masuk rumah sakit, karena serem juga lagi hamil trus di infus, trus dikasih obat-obatan yang ga jelas...bisa-bisa mempengaruhi perkembangan babynya. Tau sendirikan, banyak cerita-cerita miring tentang pelayanan RS di jakarta... hiiiiii sereeeem! Mudah-mudahan memasuki bulan ke-empat nanti, mual dan muntah-muntahnya mulai hilang.


Ngomong-ngomong tentang si Hiperemesis Gravidarum, sayangnya nggak banyak orang-orang yang tau kondisi ini. Parahnya lagi, sebagian orang-orang di kantor (dan perempuan-perempuan pula!) nggak ngerti kondisi ini. Akibatnya, banyak yang mandang sinis ke saya karena sering nggak masuk ngantor akibat muntah 3x sehari. To be honset, saya mulai nggak nyaman dengan beberapa orang dikantor yang "bodoh dan ignorant" itu... taunya cuma nanya dengan sinis:
"emang parah banget ya sampe nggak bisa masuk kantor gitu? sampe nggak bisa kerja gitu?"
well helloooooo....kondisi tiap orang kan beda-beda tanteeee.... jangankan hamil, period bulanan aja ada yang badak, ada yang suka kram perut. *sedikit curhat*, cerita tolol lainnya dari salah satu orang kantor yang konon berpangkat manager, tapi nggak punya etika, suatu hari nggak ada angin nggak ada ujan nanya kesaya (padahal biasanya kalo berpapasan, senyum pun tidak):

dia: "baru masuk ya? ko nggak pernah keliatan?"
saya: "iya nih, gw sempet bedrest 2 minggu disuruh dokter"
dia: "emang lu sampe ngga bisa ngapa2in gitu? sampe harus tiduran mulu hanya gara2 muntah?"
saya: "yaaa lu kawin dulu aja mba, nah trus hamil, baru deh tau rasanya gimana.."
dia: *dengan muka BT dan cemberut, pergi pura2 ada kerjaan mendadak*

hahahaha, makanya mba, jangan sok sinis deh mentang-mentang berpangkat manager. Saya memang berpangkat lebih rendah dari dirimu, tapi bukan berarti bakal takut dan ngejawab dengan sopan santun tata krama. no way jose!

Back to the main topic, hal lain yang bikin saya menderita: nggak bisa cium bau nasi! Huaaaa..! padahal kan nasi makanan wajib pokok masyarakat indonesia. Apalagi nasi padang kapau! *alamaaak.... sampe berapa lama saya nggak bisa makan nasi padang????* Tapi ya gitu, tiap cium bau nasi, pasti eneg banget sampai ke ubun-ubun. Kalo dipaksa makan nasi, ya ujung-ujungnya muntah. Terpaksa deh makan sandwich atau pasta atau buah-buahan aja. Ya nasib.. ya nasib... Sepertinya si baby ini beneran deh turunan bapak saya, hollander, maunya roti - keju -roti -keju dan sesekali minta ice cream praline.... aiiiiiih mateeee!
