Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is great worth in God's sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful. They were submissive to their own husbands (1 Peter 3:3-5)Lidia Sianturihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14056488556394155856noreply@blogger.comBlogger30125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-194419649759994291.post-13079150326602109152010-05-20T00:42:00.005-06:002010-05-20T01:25:13.125-06:00FOR BECOMING A MOTHERI hope I am not far from mother's day celebration and even if it is a little too late, I still hope that this writing is worth to read. This year is my 4th year of becoming a mother. It has been a joyful experience and I've never wanted to trade it with anything else.<br /><br />As some of you may know, prior to becoming a mother I was a student living my PhD dream. Student and mother are two totally different roles. Studying was depressing when I did not know the peak of its demand and I was not able to see clearly how my project would go and how my supervisor would judge my work. I had to spent my time mostly in laboratory doing my experiments and it was depressing when I was not able to control the outcomes. Sometimes I had to stay until 2am in the morning just to find the bacteria's DNA profile was unidentified or did not match to any markers. Even more stressful when my love one was living far away from me. However, I can not deny the joy I had of becoming a student. It was my dream to finish my study and get the degree, and I had passion on what I was doing for my project.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisjp3Q8MWcMj1xMuDOaJmQUpsD91TdaeGMVQPZpsaYTa-QFX-V7BaB9_SfU5tIuf_XDPgQPnX-XyBiAQRg-uKkAxbTdZWN2Npsj7A8r54_cLUWAp-FbmUKnB6TPxXoOzQMTXtPjHVcLjw/s1600/n556430539_269947_22.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisjp3Q8MWcMj1xMuDOaJmQUpsD91TdaeGMVQPZpsaYTa-QFX-V7BaB9_SfU5tIuf_XDPgQPnX-XyBiAQRg-uKkAxbTdZWN2Npsj7A8r54_cLUWAp-FbmUKnB6TPxXoOzQMTXtPjHVcLjw/s400/n556430539_269947_22.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5473239128171081970" border="0" /></a>Photo courtesy of Peter Ng<br /></div><br />April 5, 2007 I became a mother of a very beautiful baby, we named her Bianca. I was still in my one year study leave at that moment. From the time I laid my eyes on her, I could not bear the feeling of leaving her to any baby sitter. I promised to myself I will take a good care of her and will do anything to make her happy and to nurture her in God's grace. She is an expensive baby, btw. Yes, I had to pay all single pennies for health care out of my pocket when she was still in my womb due to my immigration status (I was still under visitor visa in Canada at that moment). But nothing compare to the happiness we had the moment she arrived.<br /><br />June 2007, my study leave ended. I had to go back to Australia to continue my study. Bianca was too small to fly for 24h. Thus I asked if I might have another year to be away from school. The university approved, unfortunately my scholarship did not allow me to have 2 consecutive years of leaving. Meaning if I take another year of leaving, I have to pay on my own all the remaining time I spend to finish my study. It was hard. Moreover, I had to think about asking someone else to take care of my baby, while I am studying. Even harder..<br />After thinking and pondering and another thinking...and another, I made a decision, the hardest decision ever.... July 2007, I sent out my termination letter to the University and scholarship liaison officer. I am leaving my PhD dream for becoming a mother..not that I am comparing the two roles, no..but that was the best I can do for my family.<br /><br />Now, after almost 3 years I made that decision, sometimes I miss my school times..I miss the time I spent in library reading journal articles, I miss my friends at school, I miss working on my microbiology lab...(even though it sucks sometimes)..I miss thinking hardly and trying to connect the two facts I found on my bacteria...I miss my student life. I envy people who got their PhD degree and work on their fields.<br />Having said that, I never regret to be a mother. I never regret the decision I made. I am a happy mother of two lil toddlers.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUMAjU_kXesOCqp1AKapgixirVGMmZejD3NhBEuBBPQSOq9cDjCa_upjcYgb3MtwDV7unfhC2jVE3cYbdyMpuP7M1rAQGWviHfIYIS-BUspnqU2jysV8RA9r6ptQgVxFGf4Xz06vUUb1k/s1600/26586_364091780131_563275131_5403557_6094815_n.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUMAjU_kXesOCqp1AKapgixirVGMmZejD3NhBEuBBPQSOq9cDjCa_upjcYgb3MtwDV7unfhC2jVE3cYbdyMpuP7M1rAQGWviHfIYIS-BUspnqU2jysV8RA9r6ptQgVxFGf4Xz06vUUb1k/s400/26586_364091780131_563275131_5403557_6094815_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5473239261948659346" border="0" /></a><br />I know by terminating my study I have disappointed some of my close friends and relatives.

It is a nice city, however fate brought us to our new home...Edmonton, AB.<br />On May 23 '2008 we left Montreal driving to Mississauga,ON and stayed with our parents for 4days. It was like a family farewell, since we might not be able to see each other for longer period of time due to the distance. (Read my culinary report on that farewell <a href="http://lidiasianturi.blogspot.com/2008/06/our-farewell-menu.html"><span style="font-style: italic;">here</span></a>)<br />On Tuesday, May 27 '2008 we started our long 5 days journey across 4 provinces. These are some pictures I took during those 5 days.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s288.photobucket.com/albums/ll193/lidiasianturi/?action=view&current=IMG_2021.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="width: 408px; height: 271px;" src="http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll193/lidiasianturi/IMG_2021.jpg" alt="lake superior" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br />When driving across Ontario, mainly we saw lakes and beautiful scenery. Lake Superior definitely is super big. Summer was just begun so the weather was nice not that hot but breezy. We had bad experience with filling up gas near Wawa, ON where gas station is rarely found. We almost run out of gas, thankfully we found one at just a right time. After that, we always filled up our gas every time we saw a gas station, full tank!.. coz we did not want to take a risk if there would be no gas station ahead. We also had difficulty in finding hotel in that area. Normally we drove until around 8pm and checked in a hotel for resting and continued the journey early morning the next day. But there was once when Christian had to drive until 11pm to find a motel. Poor him...<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s288.photobucket.com/albums/ll193/lidiasianturi/?action=view&current=IMG_2022.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="width: 408px; height: 273px;" src="http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll193/lidiasianturi/IMG_2022.jpg" alt="winnipeg" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br />Thursday May 29 '2008 we reached Winnipeg in the afternoon. We stayed at Nyoman and Paul's house for a night. Too bad we could not stay longer there, we just wanted to get to our destination the soonest, but it was a good reunion. I would like to make a special note about their daughter, Sarah...I was so impressed with her attitudes. She is a very good girl and I think Paul and Nyoman are successful parents. Winnipeg does not change much since I left it 8 years ago...a nice medium sized-city.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s288.photobucket.com/albums/ll193/lidiasianturi/?action=view&current=IMG_2023.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="width: 408px; height: 272px;" src="http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll193/lidiasianturi/IMG_2023.jpg" alt="flat" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br />Then we continued our journey to the next province, Saskatchewan. It was the most boring time, coz what we saw was only flat farm land nothing else.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s288.photobucket.com/albums/ll193/lidiasianturi/?action=view&current=IMG_2031.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="width: 408px; height: 270px;" src="http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll193/lidiasianturi/IMG_2031.jpg" alt="relaxing" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br />Bianca got so cozy trying to enjoy the trip by reading her book given by Nyoman with bunny as a company and of course her pacifier. I am glad she was so cooperative during our trip.<br />We spent a night in Saskatoon, it was my first time to visit this city. In my humble opinion, it is also a nice small city.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s288.photobucket.com/albums/ll193/lidiasianturi/?action=view&current=IMG_2025.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="width: 408px; height: 272px;" src="http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll193/lidiasianturi/IMG_2025.jpg" alt="border" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br />This picture was taken when we crossed Lloydminster, the border city. It means that we were almost there to our destination.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s288.photobucket.com/albums/ll193/lidiasianturi/?action=view&current=IMG_2027.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="width: 408px; height: 270px;" src="http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll193/lidiasianturi/IMG_2027.jpg" alt="alberta" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br />Finally on Saturday afternoon, May 31 '2008 we arrived at Edmonton, AB our destination. After that long journey, I can only thank God who gave us guidance and protection during the trip. Thank You Lord for Your unchanging love and mercy!Lidia Sianturihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14056488556394155856noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-194419649759994291.post-15530176398326854312008-10-07T17:18:00.003-06:002008-10-07T17:49:15.792-06:00A Good Two Days Visit From A Very Good FriendI supposed to post this writing long time ago, but due to my procrastinating behavior and bunch of my motherhood activities (a good excuse, right?) I only posted it today.<br />We were having dinner Tuesday, July 29, 2008 when the phone rang. Christian picked up the phone and instantly handed it to me. I almost could not recognize the voice. Yes, it was a call from my dear friend Peter, a good friend from my Australian uni. Suddenly I realized that I almost forgot oz's accent...it was so hard for me to understand his very thick accent on the phone...(sorry Pete...). So we agreed to meet up the next day.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.blogger.com/%3Ca%20href=" com="" albums="" ll193="" lidiasianturi="" action="view&current=Petersvisit2.jpg"" target="_blank"><img style="width: 392px; height: 294px;" src="http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll193/lidiasianturi/Petersvisit2.jpg" alt="Peter" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br />We picked him up at the hotel on Wednesday at 6.30pm. We were late for 30min, Christian had to take another route around to avoid the traffic. From the hotel we went for dinner at a Malaysian Restaurant nearby, good foods they served (the above picture shows Bianca, Peter and me while we were waiting for the foods). After that we went to West Edmonton Mall, the biggest mall in North America, we were quite late to reach there, it was already 8pm something, so we did not spend enough time to wander around since the mall closed at 9pm. <span class="nfakPe">Peter</span> said that he would go back to the mall the next day and he did all by himself (Good for him considering the distance from his hotel to the mall is quite something and he is new to this town...).<br /><br />The next day, I invited him to come over to our place for dinner. Chris picked him up after work, since his hotel is on the way to get home. I cooked Chinese-indo food <a href="http://lidiasianturi.blogspot.com/2008/08/crab-omelet-with-tomato-sauce-fuyunghai.html"><span style="font-style: italic;">Fuyunghai</span></a>, it is crab omelet with tomato sauce, and bought 3 kinds of Chinese meals (mushroom, tofu and spicy chicken), since I did not have enough time to prepare every thing. For dessert I made <a href="http://lidiasianturi.blogspot.com/2008/08/fruity-pudding-with-homemade-strawberry.html"><span style="font-style: italic;">fruity pudding with homemade strawberry syrup</span></a>. Chris bought a bottle of red wine and they both finished it up that evening. It was a very good time spending with him.<br /><br />On the first day, Bianca was a bit cranky when <span class="nfakPe">Peter</span> sat beside her in the car on the way to the mall. She cried a lot to my surprise, coz normally she is not like that, she is the most social little girl I've ever known. I needed to switch seat with <span class="nfakPe">Peter</span>, I think she needed mommy to sit beside her. By the time I sit on the back with her, she stopped crying.<br />On the next day, she has known <span class="nfakPe">Peter</span> better, so she spent some times sitting beside <span class="nfakPe">Peter</span> while watching cartoon on TV. cute....<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.blogger.com/%3Ca%20href=" com="" albums="" ll193="" lidiasianturi="" action="view&current=IMG_2358.jpg"" target="_blank"><img style="width: 393px; height: 262px;" src="http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll193/lidiasianturi/IMG_2358.jpg" alt="Gift" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br />During the visit, Peter brought us some gifts from Australia. And here is what we got. The blue shoes were a gift from Pat, my best girlfriend in Sydney. The Vegemite is a typical spread in Australia which I'd never tasted before mainly because I did not dare to try it. I am glad Peter brought it for us, so that I have an opportunity to try it. The taste is not that bad though...but it is not my favorite. We also got a key chain which is not shown in the picture since Bianca did not let it go out of her hand. And of course Tim Tam is my forever favorite chocolate coated biscuit! Thank you Pete, thanks Pat!<br />It was definitely a good visit with him....Lidia Sianturihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14056488556394155856noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-194419649759994291.post-19034143464461186362008-09-06T00:30:00.011-06:002008-09-06T00:42:25.831-06:00A Friendship Poem<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">Thank you <a style="font-style: italic;

Today in fact is my father in law's birthday. April 2nd is my husband's birthday. April 5th is Bianca's. April 10th is my mother in law's. April 27th is Shinta's-Chris' sister's. And a lot more to come for Chris' cousins. So for me it is like the busiest month of the year beside December. Busy to greet them happy birthday, make phone calls, send birthday wishes, choose gifts and prepare party.<br /><br />For my husband's birthday this year, at first I did not have any idea of what to give. I don't want to give something ordinary...clothing, including shoes , hats, belts, and other accessories to me are ordinary gifts. This time I wanted something special and...more, not in term of money..but more useful.<br />Lately, he's been begging to own GPS for our car and I kept postponing to say yes. So 3 days before his birthday, finally I said yes and let him order GPS from e-Bay. He found himself a very good deal on a brand new Navigon 7100, the one he 's been having his eyes laid on, and since it was available in Ontario, it will be easier for us to get it sent. I am so happy that at the end, we received the package exactly on his big day...so it was a perfect gift for him.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2256/2420285345_9241e05df1_o.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2256/2420285345_9241e05df1_o.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Later on that day, we went out for having dinner. It was so touching when he stated that he wanted to take me and Bianca to a restaurant which serve pasta-the food I like, as I know that he does not really like pastas. As for me, he needs not to do it, since it was his birthday, his special day...his preference should come first, why mine? However he insisted to go to that special place, and we did. I felt so touched, so loved...Thank you my lover and my best friend!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2154/2421099738_b14d479941_o.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2154/2421099738_b14d479941_o.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />And on Sunday April 6th, after church service, we had a small party for Bianca and her dad. We did not tell all of the church members ahead of time that we would have party on that day. We just casually invited people to come down stair after the service for fellowshipping. I cooked the main dishes with the help of our good friend. Below are pictures of that small birthday celebration.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3184/2403581672_8a9781552c_o.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3184/2403581672_8a9781552c_o.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Once again, happy birthday my dear husband and daughter!

The snow piling up on the road and pavement. Pedestrian needed to walk on the street together with cars and other vehicles since the pavement had not been cleared yet. For car owners it was not so nice way to exercise and build muscles.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2318/2417741238_a409729e43_o.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2318/2417741238_a409729e43_o.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Look at the white car covered by snow below...At that time, some cars got scratched by snow remover truck since they were not visible to the truck driver. It was not the driver's fault though..the car owner should move the car before the street was cleared out, but they did not do it.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3218/2417741180_395383757d_o.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3218/2417741180_395383757d_o.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />The next four pictures were taken in Mississauga, ON during our Christmas holiday visit.

They came over for spending some mutual times with Bianca, our daughter. They arrived on March 22, 2008 early in the morning. It was quite cold morning in Montreal.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3032/2412997671_00dfa30fe7_o.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3032/2412997671_00dfa30fe7_o.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Since they were in town, we wanted to entertain them and as they have been familiar with city of Montreal already, we decided this time we're gonna take them for a ride to Quebec City.<br />So we left on Saturday morning, we did not expect that Quebec City could get so cold on this time of year. When we got there, cold and strong wind welcome us. We could not bear the cold, thus we took a short walk to a cafe and stayed inside for sometimes. Apparently it was a wrong choice since the foods are so expensive there. None of us order food, except me..lucky me, pregnant woman..I got a privilege of ordering main menu, and I had fetucini alfredo, shared it with Bianca whilst every body else just got a cup of coffee.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2245/2413822554_845a49cef9_o.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2245/2413822554_845a49cef9_o.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />After warming up, we took a walk again to take some pictures, but I could not stand for cold too long. We did it quick and the results are not that great. We went back to our car and headed back to Montreal. My father in law said that he wants to visit Quebec City again during summer.

Late at night while he was asleep, I wrote something on the card and hid the card and chocolate under our dining table. Early in the morning on the D-day, I woke up and prepared his lunch box and of course I did not forget to slip in the card and the chocolate. I pretended as it was a normal ritual helping him before going to work. I even asked him,"Do you want some chocolate for snacking babe?" (as he likes to bring chocolate coated biscuits to eat when he gets his morning break). He answered,"yes please". Before leaving he asked,"which chocolate you put in my box? celebration?" he mentioned a brand. And I full of hesitation nodded and smiled.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEXRRcd0WQT7XJVVrUYl4WkBEenU-2L7zGdoV6Ejnc0mYsDntn_ThO5bq2OycNHGtwgRh3P1s1OEI98XBqY-aObyej2en_sGiIoWXrm6nRbOmS_3kTUWqZuvKzXO2-g7dKsaoex_8zHY4/s1600-h/IMG_1535.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEXRRcd0WQT7XJVVrUYl4WkBEenU-2L7zGdoV6Ejnc0mYsDntn_ThO5bq2OycNHGtwgRh3P1s1OEI98XBqY-aObyej2en_sGiIoWXrm6nRbOmS_3kTUWqZuvKzXO2-g7dKsaoex_8zHY4/s320/IMG_1535.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5167073439712661970" border="0" /></a><br />Around 10.20am the phone rang and it was him from work.

Then he asked me to put him on the speaker so that our daughter can hear him, and he said,"Daddy loves you Bianca..."<br /><br />OK, to make it short, when he came home from work, he surprised me with red roses and kisses and simply whispering I love you to my ear.

However, since the day is not end yet, I won't share a story related to it. Instead, I wanna share something that really irritated me.<br /><br />Yesterday, I went to see my chiropractor as usual for every Wednesday evening and Saturday morning. The treatment went well, the doctor was super nice. On the way home, I stopped by at a Chinese restaurant to buy some foods since I was not cooking yesterday. From the window, I saw that the place was empty, no customers at any scene, the light was a bit dim. First thought that came into my mind was it was close. Then I read the sign of the opening hours, 11am-10pm weekday..hmm..it was only 5.45pm. So with full courage I pulled the door and it was unlock which meant the restaurant was open. A gentlemen greeted me briefly, smiled and went inside. Another man came out, a skinny Chinese guy with yellow-colored hairs, no smile on his face. I said that I want to have a look at the menu book. When I was reading the menu book, his mobile rang and he answered the phone. It took a while, and when I was about ready to order, he was still on the phone. He took the order book and started to write my order and gave me a look of "what do you order?". He did not even bother to hang up the call. What the.....Okay...then I gave a sign "no no..I need to ask you something first". With a sigh he hang up and concentrated to my questions. I needed to ask about mixed vegetable, since the menu did not explain what it is. With peevish he said,"It is many kind of veggies put together". Then I asked again,"how do you prepare, stir frying or?" Quickly he said,"stir fry"...Okay...calm down man...so quickly I finished my order, paid the bill and before sitting down, I asked him if I could get a glass of warm water. I can easily get thirsty this time when I am pregnant, and because the weather outside was cold, I asked for warm water. He responded,"I don't have warm water", without even looked at me. Then I said,"ok then, plain tap water is fine" and he said,"just have a sit and I'll bring it to you".<br />As I placed my order, some customer arrived, two families. The skinny guy started busy serving them, while I was sitting around. I was waiting and waiting for the water, but he did not come to me. I saw he brought 3 glasses of cold water for the family on my left, without seeing me. And then he passed me by and prepared the table for the family on my right...again he did not look at me or I might be invisible at time. Normally at this time of situation when the service was not satisfying, I could blow up easily, but not at that time. I waited and waited, until he brought me my order. When he handed it to me I took a chance to say something to him...simply I was saying,"I'm waiting for my water but you never bring it to me". And he simply said,"I am just by myself here". What the...I can not understand...how can you be so rude and ignorant while you work at a place where people require good service and respect? oh please...do you have a right to ignore the customer for to-go and worship the customer for dine-in? what is so difficult to bring a glass of tap water? So I left the place shaking my head. Fortunately the cold air eased my irk.<br /><br />I took the metro and tried to forget that rude skinny guy. I made another stop at a supermarket to buy a card and a box of chocolate for my husband and a carton of milk for me myself. Then I had to walk from the store to our apartment, app. 7minutes away. Piles of snow were on the side road as it was snowing early that day. The pavement was cleared out for pedestrian. I walked with 3 plastic bags on my hands, one on the left and 2 on my right hand. The cleared pavement was not that wide, it only permits like two people walking side by side. So with the bags, I had to twisted it when people passed by. About halfway home, I saw a car parked laterally on the pavement blocking the way for pedestrian with the lights all blinking. Imagine, both side of the pavement was full of snow piling up high about 70-80cm. I can not comprehend, how people can get so selfish and ignorant. Even though the light was blinking, it does not mean they have a right to do whatever they want to do without even thinking of others...how people can walk pass by? I tried to seek judgement from other people who happened to be on the same situation as I was. There was only one Spanish-looking guy who happened to walk behind me. When I shake my head and raised both of my hands, he did not seem to care of what's been happening. He was easily jumping over the snow piles and then walked on the street, yes I mean STREET where a car or other vehicles can run over you! But in my case, I am a woman, 7.5 week pregnant, and carrying 3 plastic bags not to mention my heavy overcoat...how can I jump over those piles of snow. I started to observe which pile was the lowest one and carefully dipped my boot on the snow. Eventually I managed to pass that 2.5meter space which was taken by the stupid car (well the car was not stupid though..the owner yes!). Another 3minutes remaining until I reached home. As soon as I opened my door while taking off my boots, I told every things that just happened to my husband and he was not able to understand either. How people can get so rude, ignorant and selfish? I wonder how...I wonder why...seems like I still can not get the answer...Lidia Sianturihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14056488556394155856noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-194419649759994291.post-88749687956475945152008-02-13T05:49:00.000-07:002008-02-13T06:08:08.629-07:00My First Homework<div style="text-align: left;">After awhile, I found some virtual friends over blogging.

And the fact that I have not had my period for this month makes me think that I might be pregnant. However, another part of my heart says that it could not be since we managed to use the ovulation calendar for more than 6months and since my chiropractor on Saturday said that by doing the alignment treatment could interfere my cycle. By the way, I have had problem with my vertebrae which cause severe backpain, migrain and constipation, and I have visited chiropractor twice a week to do the treatment.<br /><br />On Monday after seeing my dentist, I bought a home pregnancy test and tested right away. Strange..the result came invalid, there was no blue line as it expected in the control window nor in the test window, even after 10min waiting. So we just had dinner and talked about the weird test result. Christian said that I might not use enough urine to test.<br /><br />The next morning, remembering what my husband said the night before, I urinated the stick again whilst the stick is supposed to be used once. The result came out positive. But since it is meant to be used once only, I doubted. Therefore I asked my husband to purchase another brand of home pregnancy test kit. Later that day, Christian came home with the kit and I tested eagerly. No more than 30seconds the result came out, and it was positive. I showed it to him and he responded by rubbing my tummy.<br /><br />The baby dues on Sept 28, 2008 and he/she will be 1.5 year younger than Bianca. We are thankful for the God's blessing and for the opportunity and trust to nurture another kid.Lidia Sianturihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14056488556394155856noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-194419649759994291.post-3096348409587479532007-12-17T17:29:00.001-07:002007-12-17T17:49:42.813-07:00Let it snow...We did not get to play around with snow the other day, since Christian was not able to go home before it's too dark. Like I said, inventory could take up his time a lot and indeed he spent the whole day staying in the company.<br />The snow that we got in the last two weeks was nothing compared to what we have it now. We had snow storm on Sunday, Dec 16 '2007. Early morning on that day around 7.40am, I looked out through my window, and this was what I saw. Christian's bike was almost invisible. I could only see some part of its saddle. You may compare it with the picture I put on my <a href="http://adevotedwife.blogspot.com/2007/12/bright-white-monday.html">previous post</a>.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5145103804477544306" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlyKHhdG8ZFwZN6H7O6ugG0AV0ENIfyotfYPThGGUIeML-HQvfOTU7sORGP-FYaneBmRT-ncYjjUoKm6U0jvyWjBHSsHYGN3bylEwLoVwURkm54q_YCp0Do_AwbDEskIUA6tZONm-VcCA/s320/IMG_1085.JPG" border="0" /><br />And if you take a closer look to the right of the bike, this is all snow, and it is not the whole pile. Since I was not able to shot the whole pile, I took two pictures separately. The picture below was the top of the snow pile. The top is higher than our balcony fences.<br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5145104663471003522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggzmVRGXBQsjbSqAK1PciOSSVMHczj_J3VSVr5nI7zWL0nY7i2Ad8nRliunoIKiTYy-B2p9343LjhgHfZ63kBloH4O3BrzOBjL0lhmSiWl1KbyHRJ-96dDOn4-NVxPlabgQcYh7UPlnug/s320/IMG_1087.JPG" border="0" /><br />Next time I will post more snowy pictures in this blog. For now, let's enjoy what I have around our apartment.<br /><br />Let it snow..let it snow..let it snow...!!<br /><br /><div></div>Lidia Sianturihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14056488556394155856noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-194419649759994291.post-59628610278888011002007-12-03T12:10:00.000-07:002007-12-03T12:49:02.041-07:00Bright White MondayWe've been having snow since two weeks ago. However, the initial snow from two weeks before does not stay long. Last night we started to get some more snow, and it gets really serious at this moment. The snow is just like white cotton candy shredded from the sky.<br /><br />Most of elementary schools in Quebec is closed due to snow storm that we may experience today. Christian is doing inventory job at work, so he has to go to work no matter what. He called from work, telling me how high the pile of snow is out there. He thought that I did not see anything since I did not go out. In fact, I saw the bright white snow piling up every where. From my window, I saw some kids playing around outside our apartment too. They threw snow into each other and then giggled...what a nice view.<br /><br />We are planning to go out and play outside if Christian could go home a bit early today. Well, not so sure though...coz inventory normally takes a lot of his time. Finger crossed then!<br />I will tell you if it really happens...okay? For now, I just stop here and show you the picture of Christian's bike at our balcony. Enjoy!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQwiOgx7ZV5cT1l5ika4Qcfy9VI_fUrkNMXJxXQV3F_1ym2l2EWQOW7cD9S15fnmXEpnukrr6BYSFjXLfAdIyqTBF6a8hR8XuUo84moEPyfOdbhtbmWIOVwMCrZ8fdr_NEzXnXx4vP9Ms/s1600-r/IMG_0726.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmnJ1qdd5HDdXbBwD3slJd2HMnyfnhsV1y3sub9c15nrdKFFeiv2V0JExUFeqOSkoU13JXs3iHfH74B7Qi-EosXjj0yloJucS9gsEyhGQCd7G2gP08XKFJ4CC9IK3SQXNkhRSu2QvnqTQ/s320/IMG_0726.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5139835364941093106" border="0" /></a>Lidia Sianturihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14056488556394155856noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-194419649759994291.post-30629676548149091442007-11-28T07:15:00.000-07:002007-11-28T07:37:25.792-07:00Laugh of the day<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij0fRiQx_lGmTh4qmYjGkH-Yymnyh23ErQA2yphTo6-yuQWaHSH5LtZdbTkYZqiUz52DTxPqxUeTvEJZC0kdQYwMt4TraD7lZ4Fu5GrsQMW8KjTYvMpk-8_SrqE3qbp86oEUPUwvUGnR0/s1600-h/bouche_toothbrush_02062006.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij0fRiQx_lGmTh4qmYjGkH-Yymnyh23ErQA2yphTo6-yuQWaHSH5LtZdbTkYZqiUz52DTxPqxUeTvEJZC0kdQYwMt4TraD7lZ4Fu5GrsQMW8KjTYvMpk-8_SrqE3qbp86oEUPUwvUGnR0/s320/bouche_toothbrush_02062006.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5137899763213127586" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:85%;"></span></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">picture courtesy of: http://www.kersteins.com/blogdepuree/wp-content/uploads/2007/02/bouche_toothbrush_02062006.jpg</span></span></span><br /></div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br />I read this joke on conectique newsletter this morning and really put smile on my face...<br /><br /><br /></span> <span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;" ><span style="font-family:Arial Narrow;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Husband: When I get mad at you, you never fight back.

However, something really makes me giggling and I thought it would be good to be written.<div class="entry-content"><div class="entry-body"> <p>My husband and I, both of us have our exes. And as normal human being, each of them behave differently. Most of my exes cut off our communication after I got married, and I also do not make a move to contact them or else they still communicate with me as friends, genuine friends-relationships. Some of them got married and we can talk freely about family matters, supporting each other for good.<br />Some of my husband's exes are still contacting him, mostly through friendster. They are married too, and they live far away from us. Oh well, I just want to mention two of his exes (coz they really make me giggling), two extremes...opposite to each other.</p> <p>The first one, like I said before she's married, got a kid. She was from his high school time. She sends messages to my husband every now and then (even though my husband does not respond). She acts like I am never exist. She does not really want to know me, who I am, what's my name, etc. It's completely fine with me though. She is still day dreaming about what they did/went through when they were couple. My husband always shows me her message before making any decision about what he's going to do with it. Some of her comments were approved, and some were not because we think that they are inappropriate. I really do not have problem with her comments/messages, but my husband feels uncomfortable every time he received her message. And I know what he feels, I would feel the same way if I were him.</p> <p>The second one, she's married, has a kid too. I said two extreme before coz the first one does not really want to know me or does not care, but the second one wants to be close friend with me.She knows that I am here with him, she tried to be nice to me from the very first time we knew each other, but she tried too hard and it was sickening sweet. As for me normal-nice would be just enough and if only that were what happened I would have been just fine with us being good friends. But since it was too much, I am not comfortable with it. Unfortunately, she took it hard.<br />One day my husband (at that time was my fiance) asked me to check his account, and I found her message wishing him a happy birthday. On behalf of him, I sent a reply message saying thank you for her wishes. At that moment I was so genuine, really appreciate what she did (in wishing my husband a happy one), I even did not take it hard of what she said in that message. Too bad, from that day on, she keeps assuming that I am always checking on my husband's account. At first I only smiled when my husband told me that she assumed that I read her message for him (yeah..my husband always tells me when he got a message from her). But after many times, it is quite annoying. Even if I were checking on my husband's account, so what? any problem with it? (Orang Indo bilang: "makan siomay di pesawat, so what gitu loh?" hehehehe..). My husband never complaints if I check his account, there are days that he's too busy and he will ask me to do it for him. And if I check his account, it does not mean that I want to control him and that I do not trust him or that I am curious of what he does behind my back...NO!! I 100% trust him. He is a good husband, he loves me so much, and above all...he is in God, this is the key that he won't betray me.</p> <p>Once my husband wanted to withdraw his friendster account, because he wants to protect my heart, but I said that it is absolutely okay with me...I do not have a problem with it, and why bother of what his exes did and thus he has to lose contact with other good friends? So I encouraged him to keep his account. </p> <p>I want to be a very understanding wife. Just think a positive way..they love him so much and it makes them not realizing what they did. </p> <p>Hm..what else should I say as a closing?<br />Well, at the end of the day I can tell you folks..it is good to have exes, really makes your day..</p> <p>Note: for all exes, I never hate you personally..it is not a war that I offer..nor a battle. It's only small-little things we might ponder before going to bed, what would you feel if you were on my position?<br />Have a good day and God bless you!!</p> </div> </div> Posted on <a href="http://lidia-ratnawati.blogs.friendster.com/bacillus_lover/">Friendster</a> by Lidia Ratnawati on January 24, 2007 at 09:13 PMLidia Sianturihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14056488556394155856noreply@blogger.com1
