And Now.... There Are Two


This year has been the best year of our life...
Early this year my son was born on 17th of January...
Now eleven months later, on 13th of December, my daughter was born...
Healthy and pretty and we hope she will be an intelligent person
So we named her: Aurelia Pradnyaswari Sanjaya Erawan
The meaning of the name is "a pretty and smart princess"
Hopefully our hope will come true...
Now beside our little king, we also have our little princess...

Adios: Part Deux

Two months have passed, it seems like I've just finished my final exams, now I have to go back and continue my study. These past two months, I've become familiar of getting up from my bed with a little cute baby beside me. Reality struck, studying is s**k (sorry for my language). Really, it's hard to go back but I realize this is for a better future. Well, I certainly hope so because that's the only reason why I am willing to leave my wife and child behind. This is for both of you...
And for my friends at IVO, will miss u guys. Thanks for the farewell party (the second time). If we have a chance maybe we can sit together and barbequeing, and have a laugh together. Adios, and may we meet again...

Old Friend

This morning when I logged on to yahoo messenger, a message window popped up. It said: "kadek_sutrisna would like to add you....." First question in my mind is who is kadek_sutrisna? That question lingered in my head for about 10-20 minutes. At last I found an answer, "Dek Dian". That's his short name, the full name is (do appologize if I wrote it wrongly) Kadek Dian Sutrisna Artha. He was my junior highschool friends. Although we were not on the same class, we made good friends because we both were in the student organization. We then went to the same senior highschool but the range of friends there were bigger than I expected, so we haven't had the time to hang around together. Last time I heard he continued his study to Indonesia University and after graduated, become a lecturer there.
This afternoon he contacted me on yahoo, we chatted a little while. He is now in Amsterdam (as in Netherlands), already finished his postgraduate study and will be going home early September. He is married and has one child. Well, I'm not surprised he is known to be a bright student and I think he still is. Success to you Dek Dian, I hope they accept your application.

Reswa: Six Months Ceremony

Hey it's Ewa again, I hope you are not bored with me, here are the pictures which I have promised you before. Before that here is a little knowledge of the ceremony. Six months ceremony in Balinese culture is performed when a baby has reached 210 days or 6 months according to Balinese calendar (1 month is equal to 35 days). As you all know, most of Balinese follow the Hindu religion. One of the most important beliefs in Hindu's religion is reincarnation. We all have lived before, we just didn't realize it and couldn't remember how it was. In the past life, we might have done something wrong that we haven't had the time to redeem it in that lifetime. This (maybe you can call it sins) will be passed on to our next life. So, six month ceremony symbolized the redemption of our sins and the blessing to have a better life than before.

This was before the ceremony, with my mom.
And this was me and my dad (so nobody would be jealous).
Praying before the ceremony.
The holy man (Pedanda in Balinese) cut my hair.
Drinking the holy water and wish for blessing.
Looking for the remains of my hair.
Leaving the scene, entering the trading zone.
Me in the cage, looking for my ring and fish.
Selling goods, anybody want to buy a cracker?
I've sold all my goods, now I want to count the result.

Intermezzo...

Office, is where you meet people, interact and co-exists in a working environment. You can meet someone you like or maybe you have to work with a person who dislike you. What can you do about it? Trying too hard to make friend with someone who obviously doesn't share the same passion as you, can be a worthless effort. Suppose that someone in the office ask you for a favour, which you know can jeopardize your position. Two choices, if you do it, you have to make sure noone knows about it (except of course both of you) and do it right (there is no point on telling you what will happen if you do it wrongly, you can figure it out by yourself). If you don't do it, you may lose a friend. Tough choices, but that's life. You learn as you journey through it, hopefully the choices you make is the correct one. And if it doesn't, you need no turning back, carry on and let the past behind you.
Another issue: if you know your friend is doing something wrong, would you remind him? "A friend in need is a friend indeed". Does that ring a bell? Your friend maybe need you to tell him what's right and what's wrong. But if you're friend is a stubborn and rock-headed person then leave him... No, I'm just kidding. Let me give you an example, suppose your friend is having an affair. He/she already has a family and child. At this point, the only victim is the child. I know how the child would feel, because I've seen someone close to me who doesn't have a family as a whole. It would make him/her depressed knowing that something is wrong with his/her family. Now get back to the root of the problem. Why would you have an affair? In my opinion, it started as a miscommunication which is not cleared up. As this miscommunication goes on, there will be dissatisfaction which in turn make up a fight. Then the outcome of this fight is an AFFAIR. I always believe marriage is a sacred thing, you can do it only once in your life with your loved one. It is not just a bunch of "I DO"s in front of a pack crowd, but it is something more than that. It consists of friendship, understanding and sacrifice. The base of friendship is understanding, you have to build an understanding with someone before you become friends. As this friendship become stronger then you will sacrifice anything for your friend (giving up your life is an exception :D). The same thing apply for marriage. The key to a healthy and successfull marriage is communication. Always communicate with your partner because he/she is the closest person to you. Well, I am a married person (maybe not long enough to give you any advice) and I want to make my marriage a long lasting one because I love my wife and son very much. I hope all of you who already have a family feel the same way. Family is number one, the rest is just an addition.

PS: ManU won 5-1, but Chelsea also won :(

First Steps In The Marathon: The Premiership

The League title race, we are habitually reminded, is a marathon, not a sprint; but there is nothing like making the first step on that nine-month-long slog a winning one. And getting off to a winning start is the ambition of all 20 Premiership managers this weekend, though some start out more in hope than expectation. Kick-off on the opening day is the one and only time in any season that all clubs start level – and the fans of every club can savour, however briefly, an unbeaten record and a dream of glory.

Hip hip hurray, football season starts today. What a happy day, prepare yourself for lots of drama and kick & rush. Rush to the nearest supermarket to buy soft drinks and some chips for today is the D-Day. Viva football....

"Back to nature" is the slogan here, so we have to use stairs.
At last after many steps, this is our villa.
Welcome drinks, of course not for me :(
The main bedroom, really nice.

Tired of my aunt, back to my lovely mom.
