My Last 2 Days

Hello!!!Aaaaaaaah feel so bad for not posting anything in this several months. I thought i was that busy to share my story with you....i'm sorry....but now i'm FREE for 4 months until i start studying in London in October! Thanks God! I feel so excited every time i remember that great blessing which has sent for me :) I got that feeling, being the one who is chosen, and i take it as an honor.But actually i'm not really free.... because in this holiday i have a desire to do something for my self, my choice in fashion design, and Indonesia. I meant, anything. Yes, anything, but something. Then i'll take any chance to do it. For now, i'm designing new collection for Batik Nias, administering Campus Night (an event to celebrate Indonesia's independence day for all Indonesian students in Singapore) that will be held in Singapore in next September and trying to join some fashion design competitions. Then, one thing that boost me up, i challenge my self to be the one that really care and really want to know about Indonesia. Yes, anything about Indonesia. I don't know why, i just too in love with Indonesia, even i get a chance to study in Singapore for a year and will be a student in London in October. Still.....my heart belongs here, in Indonesia. So do not be surprised if sometimes i use Bahasa Indonesia in my blog. Proper Bahasa Indonesia is always a latest trend for me hahaha. Feel free to ask the meaning to fulfill your curiosity if you don't understand and i'll translate it with all my heart :D Don't worry, this time i'll never forget to share my stories and experiences with you. Because to keep updating my blog and share my experiences is also my deep desire. I enjoy writing as i enjoy reading. I know that what i have written in my blog, whoever read my blog, i know it will never stop here with me, it will never stop with you. Not for making me famous (but if yes....i really dont mind :$), but i just want you to know what i know.Now i'm having a mind that is chockablock with stories which i want to tell. Umm.... OK, maybe for today i will tell you my experience in this 2 days.I'll start with this great thing. Do you know Sansevieria? Sansevieria is a type of plant that is in foregone famous because it could be woven to be a cloth, musical instrument or paper. But today, world know it as a great ornamental plants, antiseptic, anti-cancer, and ANTI-POLLUTANT. NASA has proved it with their research which say that sansevieria could absorb 107 elements which are contained in air pollution. Isn't it great? As we all know that Indonesia is the third country in the world that has the highest air pollution level. I don't know how you feel, but i feel so bad about it. I got my ear hearing Indonesia is weeping, my eye  seeing it's pining to be treated better and my hand can't stop trying to do something for it.My mom gives her love to flowers and plants as her hobby in gardening and when i knew about Sansevieria from her, i found that it is another easy way to repel the pollutant. And you know? Four of our Sansevierias won the National Sansevierias Competition yesterday in Pekan Flora Flori Nasional 2012 in some categories, clap hand and thank God! There are many type of Sansevieria and it is also easy to be treated. Feel moved to plant a sansevieria at home? Give me high five! I'll post some photos of our  Sansevieria later, OK ;)Now....umm....as yesterday also my 11th monthversary with Mikhael, so until this second i still feel too in love to not posting anything about us. After taking the prize and the certificate in Pekan Flora Flori Nasional, me and Mikhael got our proper dinner in Roland's, a Germany restaurant in Medan. Yesterday was our first experience eating there and we weren't regret for choosing Roland's. But actually our monthversary is not about anything but us. We have passed so many things in this 11 months and the best part of it, we are together to pass it, Mike :$ He's the one who really care, the one who really understand. Nothing feels too bad to be true, nothing feels too difficult to be solved, and i feel could do all things when i stand here beside him. Oh! i <3 you! I have some photos of us celebrating our day and my today's outfit too. As always, i get my fashion updated as my knowledge also not less updated :)

When I Have too Much to Tell..

Hello! Suzanne's here. Ah yes, i have too many things to tell. To begin with, this is a new year - new semester - new term - NEW ME! New year is always a good starting point. Don't be afraid to commit, don't be troubled by the difficulty. An unintelligent is the one who still doing his/her bad habit when he/her have already commited to change. So i'm really sure you guys don't want to be one of them right? Place your focus to what you want to be, tell God about it and pray with your heart, and start to
DO it! :) I have a really bad habit which i have since i was a kiddie : i can't stop biting my nails. I have tried to stop biting them for a long time, but i always can't until this new year i started to suggest my self what good thing i will get if i stop doing it. Even it's sounds simple, but it's happened with a long process. Now, i'm really tickled pink because for the first time my nail is out of my finger (i don't know how to explain it more clearly) and it grows longer so i could do nail art on my nails :D Mike also never be tired to remind me to not to bite my nails too by the way (thank Mike! ) so... i have a moustache on my left ring finger nail as a little present for him hahaha.




Honestly, i have more targets this year, from the smallest thing 'till the biggest one. Last friday, i learnt about how to have a huge capacity of our heart. If you want to get abound of God's mercy so you should make sure your heart has capacity as big as how many blessings you wanna get from Him. So you could prepare your heart by :
1. Having God's thinking
    Don't ever think "i can't", "it's too difficult", etc. It's thinking of man. Because nothing is  impossible in God.
2. Developing your potential
    Every person has different potential. Just never buried your potential. If you develop it earnestly, i'm sure you can develop it well and you will be able to see more chances with your developed potential.
3. Keep Learning
    As time goes by, you learn more things from your experience. Keep learning in any positive way, eg : read some books of successful people.
Now, let's apply all these to our life. Every gospel you've heard, keep it in the best part of your heart. Let it be embedded as a seed in the fertile part so that it could be fruitful!
This term is more tough than last term. I feel the difference. I have more projects which requires more seriousness, a lot of research and need a lot of thinking. But i believe i have been prepared for this term. Always try to put my heart into it and i ask for God's participation on my way to achieve my targets! Oh, i wanna show you one of my 2D project which i have done for this term. It's about typography. So this is the book of my alphabet.





Finally...............i want to show you some things that i got from Scape. In the middle of this tough term, i think by hunting some fashion stuffs with best price is a good way to entertain my self hahaha. I went to Scape with Taryn, Jessica, Kak Iyo, Kak Rachel and her boyfriend last weekend and let's see what i've got :



Actually i also bought two vintage tops with super best price! But don't ask me to show them to you now cause i want to surprise you when i wear it and match it with my another vintage fashion stuffs hihihi.

Dans L'Amour

Hello bloggers! It has been a while since the last time i wrote my blog actually. Couldn't explain anymore how i have been always wanting to write again but there were also so many things to do lately. So...... today i'm back with a sentimental topic, that is..... LOVE


Mikhael Ketaren, a bold, forward-thinker, ingenious, perfectionist, smart, striking and unequivocal man. Sometimes he could be grumpy because of small stuff that  pumps his impatience, but it's not that hard for him to appease too. He cares, he guides, he nurtures, he supports.  We have been together for 5 months. Yeah, i know it is 'still' 5 months. But, since the beginning of our relationship, we have something which is strengthen us up : It's not about how much time you have spent together, it's about how well you have spent those times
Here we are, counting the blessing and letting go of the past. Luxuriate in a genuine and kind love. Feeling good and secure side by side. Pass through the good times and the bad times, jump over the stepping stone and get into the higher level. When distance is not a problem anymore. Hold the fort and make efforts. Let this feeling grow bigger and rooted deeper. Stand up of sincere hope of time and togetherness. 
No matter what the future brings, we are not afraid anymore as we believe we can handle and face it well.......as always. Sweet romance take part. We are the love birds, yes we are.

INDONESIA

Nggak terasa 5 minggu berlalu, kelas M.I.S (Moving Images and Sound) selesai. Itu artinya project M.I.S juga selesai. Untuk project workshop kali ini aku pakai tema Indonesia. Sejak kuliah di Singapura, rasa nasionalismeku semakin menggebu. Nggak pernah mau ketinggalan berita-berita tentang Indonesia dan selalu berusaha mengikuti dari segala sumber. Pembicaraan seru sama pacar juga sering seputar ekonomi Indonesia sampai kepada moralitas orang-orangnya. Thank God, video ini terpilih menjadi salah satu yang masuk exhibition di Lasalle. Sebagai anak bangsa yang sekolah ke luar negeri, rasa bangga dan senang bercampur aduk untuk kesempatan yang aku punya ini bisa memperkenalkan betapa kayanya dan betapa berpotensinya Indonesia kepada dunia. Special thanks to Shengen Lim (M.I.S Lecture); Mikhael Ketaren, pacar yang selalu dukung dan untuk kritiknya yang jujur dan Samuel Starlight untuk Nikon D3100 yang aku pinjam untuk rekam semua video.
