4 Years and 4 Months

Irwan & Tiara @ end of 2008

Irwan & Tiara @ end of 2008

Today is the 15th of March 2009, and my relationship with Tiara has reached 4 years and 4 months. It feels like it has been a long time since the first time I knew her. She is now a different person since the first time I knew her. A lot of changes that make me even more in love her.

Guess what, in one and a half more years, I will end up my relationship with Tiara as a girlfriend. And, we will start a new relationship as a husband and wife. Cool, huh? :D

It's not too early in our ages to get married though, since we have been together for a quite long time and been ready for this. We have started to plan our marriage together since now, and we hope everything goes well. Want to know where, and when we are going to get married? Just wait and see :P

My Happy Valentine

Today, is a valentine day. What's so special about it so that everyone in the world celebrating it? This year, I'm not as lucky as several previous year, because I cannot see my sweetheart on this special occasion :(

My Valentine Gift From Her

My Valentine Gift From Her

But today, I received a gift from her, which is very special for me. :D Yeahhh.. Hehehe.. I am really happy that she really made an effort for this special day :) Even it is an image, but the image itself seems like saying to me "Hey, I love you, I care about you" :D You see the picture on the left? That was my valentine gift from her! She edited it by herself! You know what? I asked her about the picture whether it has a story in it or not. And she told to me the story.

Here we go the story :) Before I and her was born in this world a long time ago, we already had a "telepathy". So we are destined to meet one day. As day went by, we grew, and at last we met, and we are having a happy ending. There's a "symbiosis mutualism" between us. We're very lucky to meet each other. Hehe.. What a touching story :)

See how caring my girlfriend is? I might be the luckiest person in this world! Hahaha..

My Valentine Gift For Her

My Valentine Gift For Her

Also, in this special day, I will not forget to give her a surprise (I'm not sure whether it is my first time or not, because I seldom gave her any surprises >.<") This is how the gift looks like (picture on the right), isn't it cute? There are two rabbits, which represents me and her :P All of its parts are made from chocolate.. And there's a text on top of it "Be Mine, Tiara" :D Girls reading this must be jealous, haha..

I hardly could found a person who can make a chocolate gift as my wish and can send it to her home. But finally I found one, and luckily she can send it to her home without using any courier services, so the chocolate was safe on its way.

This is our best valentine ever, even we're not in the same place, but we have the same feelings, and we feel like everything is just perfect for us.

Luckiest Man in The World

People might say "Hey, I am the luckiest person in the world!" Why could they say that? It might because they have something anybody else does not.

Right now, I also have the same feeling. I am the luckiest man in the world! I have my life, I have my career, and the most important is, I have the most caring girl to spend my whole life with. Isn't it beautiful, when you have someone to fill up your days? She's the one when you need to talk to. She's the one when you need someone to help you solve your problem. She's the one when you need an advice.

I said that I am the luckiest man, because there's no one can be compared to her in any way. Her caring, her kindness, her smile, her sense of humor, all things that make me crazy in love with her.

If you have your life, and your career, but you don't have someone to spend your life with, then your life would be very tasteless. Don't have one? Go find one, and have a better life! :D

Pure Dine and Drink

It was when our 3 years anniversary. I asked Tiara to go to "Pure", the only revolving restaurant in Jakarta. She was agree, and we went there at November, 15th, 2007.

When we arrived there, we were really amazed by the views. Because it is located on the 35th floor, so we can see Jakarta's view from the top, and it is really amazing, just like in the top of a mountain. It has romantic atmospheres. And the floor really moves, it revolves very slow that we don't realize it, so we can see different views each time. The floor will come back to its original position every 2 hours. We can also go out to the balcony, and feel the outside air at the 35th floor.

I ordered Crispy Salmon Skin (IDR 110,000), “The James Bond Martini” (IDR 60,000), and Tiara ordered BBQ Chicken (IDR 89,000), "French Kiss" (IDR 60,000). The Crispy Salmon Skin was great, it has a big Salmon meat along with fettuccines. The BBQ Chicken was also great, it also has a great taste. "The James Bond Martini" and "French Kiss" was quite bitter, maybe because we have an Indonesian tongue, so we don't really like it.

Tiara was really amazed, and she said "Woooow" when we arrived there. So, for you guys who wants to take your girlfriend, or someone special to this place, you won't regret it. This place is really cool.

Pure located at Menara Imperium 35th floor, Jl. Rasuna Said Kav.1 Jakarta 12980. Tel. (62-21) 8378 6001, 8378 6002, 8378 6003. It opens everyday, at 6pm till midnight.

My Love Story Began

The story began when I was first come into this University, people said this is the best Computer Studies in town. At first, I had two choices, this one, Bina Nusantara University (BiNus), and another one, Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB). I was not too interested in ITB, and I was not accepted there, so I decided to had my study in BiNus. I think it's one of God's plan for me, because I met someone there, someone I've never thought before.

As in common, every University has it's orientation week. It last 6 days, and lots of assignments to do. But, let me flashback to the day before the orientation week. It was a briefing of the orientation. I met a girl there, lastly I know her name's Tiara. My attention was get into this girl. She's pretty, not too girly, but she's quite attractive.

The first day of the orientation was a seminar. I was sitting next to her, and there was our first conversation started. We're so in common, she'd her ministry playing keyboard in her church and I was too. It is easier to get close to someone when we've something in common. So, the story began here. We exchanged our phone number, and.. That's how my love story began. How about you? Do you have your own love story? I'll continue my story in another post.
