About us
We are Indonesian-Dutch couple, married in 2002, resident of Utrecht - The Netherlands, have one spoiled dog named Milo and one "gonna be spoiled" baby Isabelle.
This webpage mainly is use to share our story and pictures to our family and friends. But of course we always welcome for new friends.
The idea of this webpage is to share our story and pictures to our family and friends.
Since Ira's Dutch language is far from perfect and Dimitri's Indonesian language is even worse, we decided to use English as the main language in this blog,
eventhough lately due to the laziness of Ira, Indonesian language seems to take over.
Please feel free to browse around and give us your comment.

Watching Dim from live office cam.....  feels funny (read kinky.... ) like intruder of someone's privacy... is this what all you guys feel when login into xxxwebsite???
Anyway, I can't see Dim much.. mostly Edwin and Aljo.....  ... hey, here he comes... big yellow shirt guy ... i love you.....
opsss.. I forgot to post this message..now the time won't be correct... 
I have a rare feeling the whole day.... feel so tired, bit sick, don't gave energy to do stuff...what's wrong with me??? 
maybe I'm about having my period? I have to check my calendar eventhough that seems useless. I've never got period at the smae time every month anyway...
I think I'll just take it easy today...

finally it's done... I made my weblog in dutch.... sounds very ambitious, am I? hehehe well I just really want to write better in dutch. I noticed that after 1 year went to dutch course, I still made all the same mistake in writing. I don't really hope that in 1 year I will be perfect in dutch but at least I can minimize the mistakes....
anyway.... here sheis...

Today was a busy day.... I'm so sleepy right now, woke up early and rushed to Red Cross, turns out I'm to early. Today is secondhand's sale in there and I'm one of the volunteer in books department. Dim picked me up and we went straight to centre from groceries and have lunch in V7D. Special pizza from Vlad... hmm..echt lekker!!!
From there we went home and I saw a letter from the IBG confirming the result from the staatsexamen, I'm so relieved, I did passed all the tests... like usual I'm always neurotic about my grades and everything. Last night I even dreamed that I type the wrong number and that actually I'm not passed the examen at all... while I already told everyone that I passed it... so shamefull.... hehehe
Anyway, having the result in hand made me also realized how little I am writing in dutch nowadays. Leaving school and then go working give me more chance to speak more in Dutch but I write less. I don't think if I have to do that exam now, I can pass. I need to write more in dutch just to get used and more fluently speaking/writing Dutch. Maybe I'll take some writing course. But in mean time what I can do to improve my self is by write more, so I decide to make my dutch blog. So help me God......
first step first.. look for the nice template....

Wake up late today and then I got a phone call from Soes asked about my result from Dutch language examen.... I was like is it today???? and then like what always happen when you in a rush.... I can't find my examen number..... took me minutes and lots of cursing until I fond the paper, and guess what?!?!?! I've been holding it in my hand in the first place when I started to looking for it....
anyway......... Ik ben geslaagd!!!!!! horaaaayyyyyyy...  for all the subject... I can not be proud of my self more..... well actually i can... I will be more proud if the 'cijfer' better (dutch really into me, I can't find the word cijfer in english)
But like Soes says, who cares... the most important thing is I don't have to do it anymore.... only once!!!
this is the result that I seen from internet, well, I hope that's my result... I hope I filled the right examen number.... hehehe
anyway, in few weeks I should have the official result and diploma, then we shall see...
Actually, I'm bit surprised with the result. I really don't expect to be passed on all subject especially cos I was hmm.. hmm.. hmmm... falled asleep during luisteren aka listening examen... and I missed 2 questions.

Got new sms from Lepez... he named his son as we suggested before, Alexander... his complete name I guess will be Alexander Mirfax Latunussa...  not bad at all....
I'm so curious what the baby looks like... is it like Fajar or Tyas? I hope his skin is not too dark like Fajar... hehehe...  peace man peace... just joking...
Good news!!!!... I'm an auntie again!!!!!....
Tyas gave birth today according to my mom on her sms that I received this morning, I called Surabaya but no one home except Deni.... sms says it's a baby boy... and they haven't decided the name yet.
Too bad that Fajar is still in Smg for his exam, he can't be there for his own first kid...... I hope that doesn't upset Tyas very much....
Anyway, Deni says Tyas gave birth normally... no caesar what soever.. no complication... it's a heathly baby boy!!! I cant wait to see them soon... I have 2 nephews and 1 niece... and I only see one of them so far .... sad to be lived far from your family...
I have a strange dream last night, although according to dimitri strange dreams = normal dreams for me... ... I can't remember it very clearly now... kind of vague... but it involved something at school... something about late to school, got punishment from the teacher....
It kinds of worrying me..... from my previous experienced, if I dream something like that.. about being in school and got punishment, that means I'm worried about something in my real life unconsciusly... but what?!?!?! I hope I can find it soon.
Anyway, Dimitri woke up very early today, he has some important meeting in the morning... no chance of having breakfast together... we don't even have the chance to talk abit like usually we have in the morning before he goes to work..... I miss you.. hope to see you tonight soon...

House is very quiet at the moment, Dim is on his Indo's class, Milo is sleeping... nice to be a dog, isn't it? Just playing and sleeping all day
Reading Hanna's email about self confidence... hmmm... not sure what to say... do i have self confidence? I guess yes, at some point 'cos everyone says so. But on the other side, I'm sooooooo low confidence. So, which category am I?
Bad hair day? I got bad skin day everyday... 
I am having a 'bad hair day' .. see?
This is how i feel .. sleeeppppyyyyyyyy .. ! Malam ini saya belajar Bahasa Indonesia, tetapi mau tidur! (is that correct?) I guess we just have to sleep reallyyyy late this weekend :-)
Just made some changes to the web-template, so that the weblog items have more space on the screen. I hope it's better!
If you have any comments or suggestions, please let us know!

Today is the last day for my 'taalstage' in the library.... kind of sad. I wish I can stay.. but well, I know my limit, my dutch is not that good and to work in public library especially in the front office you need to have perfect dutch . Maybe next time, I really like to be in the library. I was holding my self from crying, they all so nice to me..... I found lots of new friends there and they are so nice to me. They even gave me flowers for my last day there...
I don't like to say goodbye and I'm never good at it.
Well, it's not a really goodbye, I'm coming regulary to library anyway. On the way home, for some reason, the song from Marco Borsato keep me company in my head...
Afscheid nemen bestaat niet,
Ik ga wel weg maar verlaat je niet,
Lief je moet me geloven, al doet het pijn...
... Afscheid nemen bestaat niet
Anyway.... I'm going to keep in touch with de dames in de bib. That's for sure...

Hello Darling,
We've been working on the site for a bit just now, and i just want to see if I can add some items from my account. Soooo .. if you read this, all is ok ! :-)
listening to skyradio... more than word from extreme.... kind of oldies but still very good to hear it from time to time... my mind goes direct to you
Saying I love you
Is not the words I want to hear from you
It's not that I want you
Not to say, but if you only knew
How easy it would be to show me how you feel
More than words is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
'Cause I'd already know
What would you do if my heart was torn in two?
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away?
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you
I miss you.... hmm btw.. what we're going to eat tonight? (try to look casual and change the subject... )
Was very surprised when i read the other blog There is a sign of life from Mia.... hehehe...
I'm so happy to see green colour on that page.... my friends aren't so 'ice age' after all... kekeke
Hanna mentioned about Pringles... kekekeke.... Those gold old days... I can't believe that i forgot it.... my secret hiding under my table... so many memory and so many things stored there....
Most of all..... just want to say I miss you sayang...

Monday was also a holiday here in Holland. It's the second day of Easter, somekind of Boxing Day in Christmas I guess... weather was so nice so we decided to have lunch in the backyard, here's some snapshots...
 read abit while waiting for the soup to be warmed
 ready to eat... see my special sambal equipment??? Hmmm... nyam nyam... 
 Dim in front of sambal..... as if he used to the taste already....
 Milo busied himself with the neighbour's cat. Amazing to see how much energy he has.. 
To all cat's lovers who read this, dont get it wrong, Milo is not trying to harm the cat, he tried to play with him, but of course the cat refuse...
It's been a lovely weekend..... started on saturday, sleep late till almost 12 am . Surprisingly, Milo also woke up that late.... this dog starts to really look like us.
After shower we went to the market, bought everything we need for weekend and then rushingly went to Lelystad for Dim's father's birthday. It was very nice, we met his oma, aunt and uncles.
On Sunday from some strange reason I felt so happy and really in the mood for cleaning and cooking... oh my mom will be so proud at me...
Day is so bright, not too cold not too hot... it was a perfect sunday.
I made Indonesian oxtail soup 
and for desert strawberry with slagroom (I have no idea what is slagroom in English)
 soooo lekker..
