Share the happiness..

One day in early May, I got this very special opportunity to share the happiness with those who unlucky in their lives.. (I can't say poor), because I remember this wisdom saying:
He is rich or poor according to what he is, not according to what he has. ~Henry Ward Beecher

Story telling to children is the best medicine to make you feel whole again, home again...
Thank you to CSR activity of Dharma Dexa for this precious moments I could share...















We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of
getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what
we do have. ~Frederick Keonig

My Office - Dexa Medica
8th of May, I've been One year with DexaGroup, the place I learn a lot of things that some, never have it before from my previous companies. New cultures, new systems, new people to service, new friendship, new environment and new way of thinking, but for sure, more easier... Also easier in traffic because it's closer to my home so I have no rush to go and return home. Ahh.. lots of love too ;-) make u feel younger everyday.. so far, I enjoy work here..

My blast trip - Medan, Siantar, Balige, Tarutung
The most fantastic event of the month was about our TRIP TO SUMATRA from 20 to 27 May 2007. Due to my father-in-law 75th birthday last April, we planned to 'pulang kampong' together all the family, then do ZIARAH to our Ancestors as Batak traditional did. I've been working for 1 year so I earned annual leave. From Jakarta to Medan, we stay overnight at Inangtua's house at Parang Garuda, and we meet my family: namboru Lena, Charles & family, Deden, kak Ganda, tante Butet, and also Kak Ros who follows until kampong. We also mampir sebentar di Siantar to see Opung Edo and family there. Our Kampong is in Balige, Tampahan, near lovely Danau Toba - north Sumatra. Not important how we get there, but WE must be THERE on Sunday 20th May and pray together at HKBP Tampahan Church. To complete the tradition, we did baby shower (baptism) for my baby Kylie Rachel Christinami Simanjuntak. They called her 'boru siambat dalan' means a girl from siambat dalan (name of the street where Simanjuntak family's kampong was). So lovely trip.. please see all the pictures in this site.

After we pray at the church then we have a little ceremony at our family's house at Balige, quite a surprise to see that my kids were so happy and enjoy being there.. they surely know their homeland.. oh, almost forget to tell. My mom was joined us too, so the day before we go to My Dad's grieve and praying there. Miss u Pop, here are your grandchildren..
Very long trip it was, after the ceremony, we go to Tarutung to see the homeland of my mother-in-law, Tobing's homeland. It was a one hour trip and we pray and taking pictures also.. then we stay overnight at Tarutung at tante Duma's house, to have a rest. Monday, 21st May tulang Andre's birthday. Udah sms kan yah bro'....

Next trip, Pekanbaru, here we are.
Not even have a good rest, very early in the morning at 7.30, we left Tarutung & 2 Kijangs vehicles brought us, 2 families to Pekanbaru. It was a long long heavy road, offroad actually!! For about 20 hours driving and few times rest for the kids at Rantau Prapat, & somewhere outhere that I don't even remember the name anymore, etc. then we arrived exactly before Storm and Thunder, at 3.30 a.m, safely to Rumbai Pekanbaru. Thank you LORD for your kindness.. hopefully never have this kind of trip again.. poor baby Kylie, so tired on this trip, she got ill when we arrived in Pekanbaru. At a glance in Pekanbaru:
Abang William & Dedek Kylie enjoy playing toghether

Aditya's bday celebrated at 24th May Oma very happy to travel to PkuThank you Eda Jeanny for your lovely home.. thanks Hon... for everything u did to us. Still in Pekanbaru, on 24th of May, my lovely husband Neil Simanjuntak's 38th birthday. I wish you honey all the good things, may your dreams come true and all of your wishes happened for good. It's not easy being apart, but u must achieve what u're hoping for, then everything will be just fine... More pictures captured here.

Happiness and Sadness






We go back to Jakarta with full of memories about the trip and the moments at kampong. But, since Kylie was not in good health (diarheas & hi fever), so I felt so worry. Fortunately Abang William was a very good boy during the trip.. I love u Abang..!

Then, I heard that my sister Siska also sick and hospitalized due to DBD.. poor aunty Siska.. This picture of my sister siska was taken on her birthday last 16th April 2007. We pray for your healthiness aunty...

(Today Siska already home from hospital, thanks God).
There's also condolence news from sims family, one of our relative, bp Eta, abang Panggabean died of heart attack at Cikini's hospital.
Deep symphathy to daughter and wife.
FFfffuuuhhh.... that's all.. so, I come again to my lovely office, since I found love everywhere here.. then here I am with extra energy to do my job as a professional.

Thanks God for this full of blessings Month...!
