Silvia Meinita Laurensia. that's my name. my own, real, official, and full name. what a beautiful name, eh?

some of you might ask: "hey, where's your family name?"

now let me explain you about this.

i was born in mojokerto, a small town in indonesia, on may 09, 1985. i was born with the name of Ang ViVi.

i was born as a foreign citizen, or in bahasa we call it WNA (warga negara asing). how come i was born in indonesia as a foreigner? please dont ask me. i dont know why. my parents were also born in indonesia, and even my my grandparents were also born in indonesia. so strange, huh? in our own hometown, which is indonesia, we were still considered as foreigners. in china, a country where some native indonesians think that it's our hometown and we should be there,not in indonesia, we werent considered as their citizen.

when i almost graduated from my elementary school, at that time i was around 12 years old, my parents applied to the government to get the indonesian citizen. i didnt know how the process was, but in my memory, it took a long long time to get that citizen. my parents also applied for me and my sister.

so after i got the indonesian citizen, i was given the opportunity to change my name into an indonesian name. haha. so funny. so, a 12-years-old-girl could change her own name to be whatever she wanted. haha. me and my sister were so excited that we could change our name, so we browsed all the books to get such a beautiful name. haha.

as the conclusion, i changed my name from Ang ViVi into Silvia Meinita Laurensia. my sister changed her name from Yeni into Yenita Elviana Janesky. my father changed his name from Ang Tek Bing into Stefanus Bing Siswanto. and my mother decided to kept her chinese name, which is Njoo Kiem Swat.

accidentally, after i graduated from the elementary school, i went to malang to continue my study, and i had new friends, new situations, etc. my friends in malang didnt know that my name was Ang ViVi. they only knew that my name was Silvia Meinita Laurensia. so everybody started to call me Sil, instead of Vi.

and to answer why i dont have a family name, uhm, actually i dont really know the answer. but at the time we were given the chance to change our name, we didnt know that everybody must have a family name behind. we just chose for the name we liked. and what can u expect a 12-years-old-girl when she was given the opportunity to change her own name? of course she would choose to have a beautiful name like a princess, or an angel in the fairytale.

i do hope that i have a family name. if only i knew that everybody must have a family name.

maybe someday i'll marry a man with a family name behind, so i can adopt his family name into mine. if i marry Brad Pitt, for example, my name will change again into Silvia Meinita Laurensia Pitt. lol. so strange.

i'm back

kemarin hari sabtu yg harusnya dipuas2in jalan2 malah akhirnya di rumah doang. bener2 gak ngapa2in. what a waste of a weekend!! cuma chatting doang sama mama yg 4 jam itu, terus beresin dapur, terus ngapain lg ya? oo iya, bobok siang. sampe bosen dah kemarin itu di rumah mulu.

krn kemarin aku sama okki di rumah mulu, hari ini kita putusin jalan2 deh ke amsterdam. tujuan utamanya seh mau makan ice cream yg di muntplein itu. dah lama gak makan situ. akhirnya tadi beli 4 bol, dimakan berdua sama okki, beli yg rasanya stracciatella, walnoot, pistache, sama chocolade. enak bgt deh. terus abis beli ice cream, kok pingin makan burger king ya. hehe. jadi tadi abis makan ice cream langsung makan burger king deh. beli yg crispy chicken large dimakan berdua juga. hehe. romantis ye. hehe.

abis dari BK, jalan2 bentar ke kalverstraat, soalnya dah lama gak ke sana. tapi pas tadi jalan2 itu udah sekitar jam 5an, jadi toko2nya dah mau tutup. cuma sempet mampir ke vero moda, only, sama american book store. tadi ada baju bagus deh di only, gak gitu mahal juga cuma 15 euro, tapi gak sempet cobain, soalnya dah mau tutup tokonya. nanti aja deh weekend depan balik sana lg kalo gak males.

abis jalan2 di kalverstraat, maunya ke albert heijn yg di deket magna plaza itu. mau beli makanan buat besok breakfast.

eh pas tadi lewat dam, ternyata lg ada acara kayak bazaar-nya orang india gitu. ada yg jual baju, jual makanan, jual CD, panggung boneka, dll dah. ada panggung kecilnya juga, buat orang doa gitu. terus tadi aku sama okki cobain makanannya juga, namanya pakora. padahal dah kenyang bgt deh pas itu. hehe. not bad juga rasanya, tapi aku lbh suka bara seh drpd pakora. terus cobain juga 1 piring plastik gitu isi nasi kuning, curry, bubur manis2 gitu, sama kayak ada permennya gitu. yg nasi 1 piring ini gak ditentuin loh harganya brp, sukarela gitu ngasihnya. mau bayar juga gak papa, gak mau bayar juga terserah.

tapi pas makan nasi kuning itu tadi, aku bisa jijik gitu yah. bukannya rasis ato apa, tapi aku gak enjoy aja makannya. kesannya kayak itu makanannya orang miskin gitu. no offense loh. padahal enak seh makanannya itu, tapi gak tau napa tadi aku bisa jijik gitu. gak abis deh akhirnya itu nasi kuningnya.

abis dari acara itu, aku sama okki ke albert heijn. pas di AH ini perutku sakittt banget. mampus dah. pingin boker. hehe. akhirnya cepet2 deh ambil makanan seadanya buat besok makan pagi. akhirnya tadi beli iglo viscuisine, sama dr oetker pizza yg kecil.

harusnya tadi ke AH beli lays juga ya. aku sama okki lg demeeennn banget sama lays yg rasa heinz tomato sauce. enak bgt. kerasa gitu kecut2nya.

sekarang aku lg pingin makan sayur asin neh. duh. padahal dah sering banget masak sayur asin ini. tapi tetep aja enak ya. sayangnya itu sayur asin cuma ada di oriental, sedang kalo aku pulang kerja kantor itu orientalnya dah tutup. aku kalo masak sayur asin itu gak pernah dibikin baikut, tapi selalu dimasak yg keringan itu. gak ada tulang babinya seh disini. ato aku aja yah yg gak tau?

bbrp hari ini appetite ku nambah banyakkkk bangetttt. lg PMS seh. selalu deh tiap aku PMS jadi pingin makan banyak2, terus tambah ndut. benci deh. rasanya ini mulut pingin ngemil mulu.

eh sekarang internetku pake firefox, bukan pake internet explorer lg. lbh cepet kali yah rasanya. tapi kok kalo buka blog, tulisannya gak bisa di scroll bawah yah?

besok dah senin lg neh. duh. pingin weekend mulu rasanya. masih lama neh selesenya internshipku, masih 10 bulan 2 minggu lg. duh.

ya udah deh, sekarang aku mau beresin dulu sepatuku di bawah. mau dimasuk2in kotak aja semua sepatu2 yg gak pake. terus mau beresin kamar tidur. terus mau bobok dah.

kusje kusje,

silvia

uhm...

Thx God it's weekend...

seneng deh kalo weekend gini, soalnya bisa bebas mau ngapa2in... bisa bangun siang, bisa jalan2, bisa masak2, bisa makan2, bisa sayang2an sama okki... wekekeke...

kemarin abis aku pulang kantor, aku sama okki langsung makan di Bird Thai resto... enak juga masakannya... tapi kenyang bgt ya abis kemarin makan di situ...kenyangnya aja masih kerasa sampe sekarang...

tambah ndut dah...

abis makan di bird, kita jalan2 di red light bentar, iseng aja seh kesana... terus iseng juga nungguin orang keluar dari abis nyewa cewek... hehe... pingin liat reaksinya gimana... hehe... kemarin liat ada cowok abis nyewa cewek gitu terus cepet2 lari... malu kali ya?

kalo okki tau aku nulis kayak gini pasti dimarahin deh... biarin deh, prinsipku kalo oki marah2: badai pasti berlalu... wekekeke...

sekarang aku juga lg nonton serian full house... udah nyampe seri 14 neh liatnya... bagus juga, tapi tengah2 agak bosen juga seh liat itu ji-eun sama yong-jae tengkaran mulu... ceritanya juga gak masuk akal banget... hehe... sekarang aku sama okki jadi sering gak sadar gitu nyanyi2 lagunya full house... wekekeke... padahal okki bilang itu pelem jijay bajay deh, tapi kenapa dia ikut2an nyanyi lagunya yah? hehe... nanti abis nyelesein ini serian full house enaknya download apa lg ya? memories in bali aja kali ya?

besok mau jalan2 ke amsterdam... mau ke supermarket juga kali, beli makanan buat sarapan senin paginya... pingin makan sushi ato squidnya new king... wekeke... pingin makan ice cream yg di muntplein itu juga... enak deh ice cream yg itu, soalnya lembut banget ama pilihan rasanya ada banyak bgt, dari yg standar kayak chocolate, strawberry, sampe yg aneh2 kayak grand marnier, appeltart, dll... harganya lbh murah lg dibanding yg laen2... di sini 1 bol/scope cuma 0,9 euro... kalo di australian gitu kan 1 bol sampe 1,5 euro... makanannn mulu yg dipikirin...

tadi chatting ama mama... lamaaaa banget chattingnya... 4 jam ada kali yah... abisnya sekarang kalo chatting cuma bisa weekend doang seh... soalnya kalo gak weekend kan aku sampe rumah dah jam 6 sore, di indo dah jam 11 malem... banyak deh tadi yg diomongin (ya jelas, chatting 4 jam gitu loh hehe)... untung tadi audionya juga jelas banget, jadi gak usah repot2 ngetik...

kangen deh rasanya ama mama, papa, cece, apalagi sekarang ada alex... gimana yah mukanya alex? ganteng kali yah, kayak auntienya yg 1 ini... wekekeke... kangen juga ama makanan di indo... pingin makan pecel lele, es duren, nasi bebek, gorengan, bakso, duhhh semua deh...
