Resepsi Pernikahan Gue

Kali ini gue mau nulis soal pernikahan, (Yha I know harusnya gue nulis tulisan Singapore Trip Part 2 but hell I can't wait to write this issue) gue menggunakan bahasa Indonesia yang gue harapkan pesannya bisa sampe ke kalian, anggap aja gue teman kalian yang lagi gemez meletup-letup mau cerita.

Tulisan ini terinspirasi oleh pernikahan dari salah satu sahabat pacar gue, yang dengan budget kecil, tanpa wedding organizer, hanya dengan bantuan sahabat, kerabat dekat, dan beberapa teman, pernikahan ini terlaksana dengan 'hangat', intim, nyaman, dan sangat mengharukan. Iya, meskipun pada saat itu baru kali keduanya gue ketemu mempelai perempuan dan lelaki, yang berarti gue secara personal belum memiliki hubungan dekat dengan mereka, pun, dapat sangat terharu atas pernikahan tersebut. 

Singkat cerita, gue datang bersama pacar ke acara pernikahan tersebut dengan dresscode yang sebelumnya sudah ditetapkan oleh panitia, yaitu pakaian dengan warna hitam dan baju yang cenderung casual. Setelah gue nanya rinci soal gue-mesti-pake-baju-apa-stuff ke salah satu panitianya, dia cuma jawab "gue aja  pake sandal, kok, Sha."  emm.. okay.. Mungkin juga ini kali pertamanya gue datang ke pernikahan dengan konsep casual wedding, jadi gue takut salah kostum, khan~ (BRB buying Sandals Swallow. Not.)

Dan bener aja, lokasi pernikahannya outdoor dan sangat santai tapi tetep kece. Ngga kaku, tapi tetep nyaman. 

"Aku rasa nikah harusnya emang gini aja ngga, sih." cerita gue ke pacar, (bukan kode, or well.. maybe a bit.) Karena pernikahan di kota besar seperti Jakarta ini menurut gue ridiculously mahallll banget. Ini bukan bahas soal mampu atau tidaknya gue, atau siapapun calon suami gue untuk membiayai biaya pernikahan ratusan juta, nope at all. Untuk beberapa orang terdekat gue bakal tau bahwa gue tipe orang yang ngga masalah dengan biaya, ASAL apa yang gue dapat memang sepadan. ASAL gue bisa enjoy dan happy dengan uang tersebut. Mungkin terdengar egois.. bisa jadi. (LAH) (KAN EMANG PAKE DUIT GUE, EGO)

Ambil contoh, jika gue harus mengeluarkan uang IDR 300 juta, gue akan memilih untuk membeli mobil favorit gue yang nyaman, aman, dan dengan warna kesukaan gue. Gue bisa nikmatin saat gue pergi ke luar rumah pake mobil, gue happy. Sisanya bisa untuk investasi, jelas tujuannya masa depan biar gue ngga kere-kere amat nantinya. Gue untung. Atau, gue pake untuk jalan-jalan ke luar negeri, dan keliling Indonesia, astaga, pastinya gue girang happy bahagia senang ha ha ha. Tas? Jam tangan mahal? Sepatu? sebut.
Tapi untuk pesta pernikahan yang gue harus susah-susahan pake buntelan rambut di kepala gue, durasi waktu berjam-jam, dengan hal yang bikin gue stress mampus berbulan-bulan sebelumnya karena persiapan ini itu, plus orang-orang yang datang rame banget bikin pusing dan banyak yang ngga gue kenal, tapi gue harus senyum meringis tekuk lutut separo and answering "makasih ya.. makasih.. makasih lho.. Haloo makasih.." gitu terus sampe Edward Cullen baca kalimat Syahadat. Aduh.. Pengen nangis karena puyeng duluan.

Gue sampe bilang "kalo bisa budget nikah ngga perlu dialokasikan ke resepsi. Jadi abis KUA, langsung Belah Duren ke Maldives, terus lanjut Jepang, China, abis itu muterin Eropa". Awesome, kan? Bulan madu bikin lo happy, kalo mau pamer juga tinggal atur, bisa belajar banyak, pengalaman juga seru, otak jadi  fresh ngga liat Kopaja terus di Jakarta. 

(Tapi gue boleh laaaah cincin nikah berlian mahal gitu. Ihiy!) 

Atau ini masalah mental gue yang belum siap soal pernikahan? Maybe yes.. maybe no.. 

Tapi serius, buat gue pernikahan kan masih puuuuaaannnjanggggggg berpuluh-puluh tahunnnnnn bersamaaaaaa dengan masalah (dan jelas kebahagiaan) yang segudangggggggg. Jadi kenapa ngga simpen tenaga buat nanti aja daripada sekedar untuk resepsi?

Orang tua gue kebetulan punya sejarah pernikahan yang tidak berhasil. Mereka bercerai saat gue berumur sekitar 5 tahun. Mungkin dari dulu gue sering tahu hal-hal yang seharusnya gue belum tahu. Selain soal fakta-fakta pernikahan mereka yang tidak seindah cerita FTV, pernah suatu ketika gue mendengar curhatan dari seorang wanita berumur 40 tahun, yang baru ia ketahui bahwa suaminya memiliki anak hasil hubungan gelap bersama perempuan lain, istri dari anak buahnya. Ada juga teman perempuan yang menikah muda, berhijab Syar'i atas kemauan suami, namun ia baru tahu bahwa suaminya bukan seperti apa yang ia bayangkan, beberapa bulan kemudian bercerai dan kembali pergi ke pantai mengenakan bikini seksi. (Which is I don't mind and I don't care, but... It makes me think real hard about the concept of marriage)
Pernikahan tidak melulu amsyong, tapi juga tidak melulu sparkling

Kalo bahagianya, siapapun akan dengan mudah menerima, tidak perlu dibahas. Tapi susahnya? Masalahnya? Rintangannya? Biaya sekolah anak yang mahal? Tarif PLN yang naik? Mertua yang mungkin rese? Dll dll? 

Ya itu, sih, menurut pendapat gue pribadi.. yang mengambil kesimpulan bahwa nikah itu cuma perlu resepsi santai aja. Kalo pun meriah, gue usahakan orang-orang terdekat saja yang gue undang.

Lalu ada yang bilang ke gue, "tapi tujuannya resepsi gede-gedean kan biar ngga terjadi fitnah kalo nanti pergi berdua atau tinggal serumah, Sha." 

*sigh* 

Gue ngga masalah kalo harus difitnah zinah, selama di rumah gue punya buku nikah. Sumpah deh, bodo amat gue. Yang penting nyokap bokap gue tahu, keluarga suami gue tau, orang-orang terdekat gue tau dan pastinya TUHAN TAU MENNN kalo gue sudah sah di mata hukum, negara, sama agama. SISANYA SERAHHHH MAU GOSSIPIN GUE PAKE TOA MESJID JUGA ATUR. :))))) 

Kalo lo gimana? Punya pandangan lain ngga soal resepsi pernikahan? :D

First Timer Solo Trip (Part 1)

Yep, you read it. This is my first time doing the solo trip, well actually this was already become my wish list since a long time ago and just accomplished now, when I'm 24. After I think over this about where should I choose as my first destination, *Drumrolls* I chose one of the safest area; Singapore, despite, a few months ago I went there for Samsung Event Galaxy S6 Next is Now

Why Singapore?

Please never mention anything about nationalist or something stupid like "You don't love your country" bla-bla-bla stuff. At that time, I was going to find a place with a cool halloween party so Singapore was the right answer. It was pretty close from Indonesia, and surely one of safest country.

HA!

My Gosh. It was the first time for me being alone in another country, like.. really alone. LOL. Kinda hard especially for me who live in a comfort zone AND love to take a photo every minute. (and now I just know the function of Action Camera..) Let's take a look:

PS: it's a day one. ;)

Another PS: Im an amateur solo traveler




Last month; Day one: Ugh, I was not sleep well because the day before the departure I was sleep all day long. I think I just got 3-4 hours sleep only. *_* I decided to went early 5 A.M, to take some photos and it was pretty quit because people in Singapore usually start to do their activities around 8 AM (correct me if I'm wrong).  I walk around Clarke Quay area since I sleep around this place, and it was rainnnninggg aaaaa! What a lovely weather! Just in case you guys wondering about the issue of Smoke Haze due to forest fires in Riau, which, Singapore actually one of the country who effected, (huhu so sorrrry SG's people) THANK GOD it was already okay. I landed in Singapore happily and welcomed by a super clear sky.. YEAAAY.!


 Empty MRT? Let's take a selfie! 


I know... I'm sorry these are not fantastic photos during holiday as you guys (maybe) expected, but daaaamn hahaha it was sooo hard focusing on took great photos while you're allllll alone. *cry*

See ya at my next Part 2 post! Loveeee yaaaaa mmmwach!

Fashion Trends, Follow or Not To Follow?

We are adults, we have so many things to do, dead-f-ing-lines, or maybe taking care your little son if you already married, etc etc. I find a bit difficult to catch a time with some of my good friends. So once they have free time to spend and so do I, it is very impossible to ignore. 

We picked time, and met. Conversation about life, love-life, anything. Then that time, one of my friend said: "Why do you still use that Furla Candy Bag? Isn't that a lame trend?" 

Hehe. What should I say? I do breath for fashion, but I think I'm the one who should control, you named it, fashion trend, gadget, what to watch, what to eat, who I have to be friends with, not the other way around. I think we can buy any expensive stuff we want, every fashion trend we follow, everything they told you "This is so cool." and you definitely chase it. Your choice. But, sugar, my mind doesn't work that way. 

So when I said I'm not into a thing, (for now) (because you know.. never say never), I will purely bloody-hell-it and use things that make me happy, even mostly people mocking me and disagree. I will still dancing like there is no tomorrow. :))

Here some magical things that will always be my favorite:

Fishergirl

I love fisherman hat. It was a fun new trend to try. One day I walked into a street, trying to find some outfits  for my job as a fashion stylist (we can talk about this photoshoot later in details :*) and as you know, it is hard to focus when you got distracted by another stunning fashion items. 

So I picked that day, going out and wore the new hat and my boyfriend said "you look cute." but we both know if he said the other way, the war will be out soon (LOL No I'm kidding). And yeaaa I bought new Anna Masotti sandals in silver. Have a good day everyone! Stay in love!

Adding Bunnies into My Life

I love dogs, I really do. Anjing menurut saya adalah salah satu hewan peliharaan yang menyenangkan. Berbeda seperti hewan peliharaan lain seperti kucing, anjing menurut saya memiliki beberapa kualitas unggul seperti, interaktif, penjaga, dan setia. It doesn't mean that I hate cats, but from scale 1-5, dogs will be my number one baby, sedangkan kucing ada di peringkat kedua.

The problem comes now when I want a pet badly. Dulu, waktu saya masih bekerja sebagai Public Relation di sebuah hotel, saya hampir memutuskan untuk benar-benar menggesek kartu debit saya, untuk membeli seekor anjing kecil yang sungguh... adorable. Saya tahu, memang terdengar impulsif tanpa berdiskusi panjang, setidaknya dengan penghuni rumah saya yang lain, which is my mom.

Then the second option is a cat. Saya dan mama menyukai kucing. We actually love animals in cute shape. Masalahnya adalah; bulu kucing. Saya menderita asma sejak kecil, dan bulu kucing yang punya hobi berterbangan kesana-kemari.... will be a disaster. 

 *sigh. 

Beberapa masalah lain seperti trust issue antara mama dan saya, mengenai apakah saya cukup bertanggung jawab atas nyawa makhluk lain?  Hmm. Sesuatu yang hanya bisa dijawab dengan bukti, bukan statement panjang untuk meyakinkannya. 

Then I have thought about a rabbit.

 Yep, another cute creatures. 

My boyfriend, my cousins, and for sure my mom, said no. HA. Kontra terjadi karena menurut mereka (dan mungkin memang fakta) berpendapat bahwa kelinci adalah hewan yang ringkih dan mudah mati. *__* Entahlah, saya sendiri berpikir cukup lama mengenai pendapat mereka, karena DAMN they were just right. 

But I bought them anyway. 
Tentunya dengan pertimbangan matang, beserta situasi terburuk yang mungkin terjadi. :)


Let me show you their faces. 




 Apapun memang bisa terjadi, segala kemungkinan buruk; mereka sakit, dan mati.


Namun di lubuk hati saya yang paling dalam, saya masih percaya adanya kemungkinan terbaik, yang mana adalah mereka tumbuh dengan sehat, gendut-gendut, dan bahagia. :)


All I can do is being my best, put my brain and heart into it, and pray about them getting well until they become really old. I love you Kincis!

Knockin'

Crazy in love with the typical-cheesy-teenage-yet-sweet story. Well actually I already watched this  "Cinderella Story 3 - Once Upon a Song" film long time ago, then yesterday I was rewatching this film uh-oh so lovely. 

*Spoiler Alert*

Just like any other Cinderella Story, there are Cinderella, prince charming, the uncool stepmom from hell, and her dumb daughter. A fun thing was this story ain't (only) about being pretty at the dance party but chasing your dream, in this case, as a rockstar. 

Then suddenly.. this cutehawtOMGsogoodlookin 'prince charming came. 

Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce you to the one and only: Freddie Stroma


The character he played was about a talented young man trying to manifest his passion as a song writter and a musician, but his daddy won't allowed him to and the other way push him as the daddy's passion being a producer who manage some music.

And his voice. jsdnsincfjnwedjclkjokopwkdoaoiadi gorgeous dakjdkajsdkuau! 

 

I'm lost in a world that rattles my brain
I'm cleaning up my life from the mess you made
 
 My soul's in debt but my bills are paid
I'd give anything just to make an escape
 
So you can keep knockin', knockin', knockin'
Baby you're knockin'
But there ain't no way I'm ever letting you in 
Not again

I went out on a limb again
I guess I had to lose to win
I was too confused to know which way to turn


Different point of view between us and our parents are classic yet general issue, eh? I don't know about you, but here me got a lil same problem with cutie-daddy so.. tee-hee. :)) Oh, and I think you should watch this movie, pretty entertaining. :D

This event was held on Conclave Cafe, South Jakarta, to select some candidates for being their website official contributors. How fun is that?

Me crazy about fashion. This class is one of my favorite from Cerita Kita Casting Call: Fashion Stylist Class from Kak Media Friesna, Fashion Editor of Go Girl! Magazine. I mean, whoa..

She taught us soooo many things about fashion such as how to have a good taste in fashion, which is can be learn as much as possible, how to mix and match something classic and trendy into one chic look.
Also she taught about how we need to create a concept before we do the styling so we will not 'lost' after choosing some outfits. The lesson from the class will help me out to run this blog, yeaaaaaaah! Osom!
