I made some DIY for my engagement day, so many drama included but in the end it was all done. I will try more post about DIY tutorial because i dont go out too much lately so no food and new place review hahaha.

For my engagement i want to make everything by myself, too arrogant they said, but it was merely for a self pride. The backdrop itself changed more than 3 times. The first one got torn off from my wall, the second one looks hideous with colorful paper flowers, and when it just neaaarly came to dead end, i saw Oh Joy page and this page on Pinterest, and VOILA! they gave me the idea for my backdrop.

The basic idea is the fringe. You could use it for anything, it instantly make the party goes pop! just make sure use the right color. Fringe also can be made from any materials. Paper, fabric, leather, you name it.

Not so many pics during the process (only have two pictures), but i have this one just in case you curious how exactly to do this.

Supplies :

- 10 sheets white crepe paper (or neutral color you love)

- Blue and pink (or any color you like for heart shape) crepe paper, 3 sheets each

- Cardboard size 20cmx20cm (i taped two cardboard into one)

- Glue or double sided tape

How To :

1. Prepare the cardboard. Because i used 2 cardboard so i merge them into one by using tape.

2. Print with A3 size paper the Heart shape (get it here) and trace onto the cardbord using pencil.

3. Take one sheet of crepe paper and start to make fringe (approx height : 4 inc), and make this with all the crepe you have.

4. Glue or tape it onto the cardboard, start from the bottom.

5. If you already done with half of the cardboard, start to make the fringe for the heart shape by using the color crepe paper.

6. Dont forget to trim the edge of the fringe along with the heart shape.
7. Continue with the white crepe paper until everything covered.

8. Done!

Tips :

- You can hang the cardboard using string or rope.

Bahan :

- 10 lembar Kertas krep warna putih (atau warna netral)

- Kertas krep warna pink dan biru (atau warna apapun untuk bentuk hati) masing-masing 3 lembar

- Kardus bekas ukuran 20cmx20cm (saya menggabungkan 2 kardus sisa dengan lakban hitam)

- Lem kertas atau double tape

Cara:

1. Siapkan kardus. Karena saya menggunakan 2 kardus, saya menggunakan lakban hitam untuk menyatukan keduanya.

2. Print pola hati dengan kertas A3 (ambil disini) dan gambar di kardus.

3. Ambil satu lembar kertas krep warna putih, lipat menjadi 2 dan buat rumbai-rumbai dari kertas krep, kira-kira ukuran tinggi 10cm

4. Tempel di luar gambar hari dengan menggunakan lem atau double tape. Mulai dari bawah.

5. Jika sudah sampai setengah dari kardus, mulai tempel kertas krep warna untuk pola hati. Mulai dari bawah.

6. Gunting bagian pinggir-pinggir mengikuti pola hati

7. Lanjutkan menempel kertas krep warna putih sampai tas kardus.

8. Selesai!

Tips:

- Gantung kardus dengan tali atau benang wool

- Jika warna asli kardus terlihat terus, tempel kertas diatas kardus sebelum menggambar pola hati.

Not too difficult to do but you need all the patient you have because if you're using bigger cardboard, you need to cover it all and it takes time. I finished two of them in 5 hours (more less). Call your friends for help, it makes a lot easier and faster to do.

First post for 2016 about new restaurant that i just tried, called Tom Tom. It's in front of Warung Tinggi Grand Indonesia if you dont know where is it. I usually wont choose new cuisine beside Indonesian, Japan, Chinese or Italian whenever eating out. This was my first time tried Thailand Cuisine which somehow similar with Indonesian and Chinese.  But Thai cuisine rather spicy and it contains lots and lots garlic which make the soup taste soooo good.

I like the atmosphere in this restaurant, dim light and has cool color choice for the chair with industrial theme. I need to wait 10 minutes because there's queue for lunch here. I dont know that this place is hype.

We ordered Mango Sticky Rice (which very pricey compare with the main dish), Thai tea (off course) and Pad Prik Pao. It was spicy garlic clamp soup with rice. It was so so so good. Definitely will order again.

Creepy isnt it, right now we're already in December and half way through it. Time surely running so fast if we enjoyed it. Let's re run what had happen this year.

- I went abroad for holiday! (check for another list this year) and desperate to have more *winkwink*

- Had major drama because turned 25 years old.

- I joined YISC for the first time and Alhamdulilah Allah give me chances to surround my self with good people.

- Many of my friends (including my best friend) got married this year. Congraaats!

- Jurassic World and Star Wars VII play in the same year. So very happy ;D

- Starting my own party planner (not exactly start the business, i created an IG profile for Leia Projects hahaha still count right?)

- Not being included in too many drama. (That a big deal for me)

- My closest friends have babiessss (i'm an aunt!)

- I rarely hang out with my circle friend. We're just growing apart for good. Having life outside the circle and it was a good call for each and every one of us. But i miss you guys so much we should hang out sometimes!

- In this exact date in 2014 i was just a single gal who pretty much enjoyed her life. But right now i'm somebody's fiance and soon to be somebody's wife. CREEPY, it happened less than a year hahaha.

- I read less than 5 books this year (laaaazy)

- Gained some weight (need more and more and moooore exercise)

- And the end of the year, we are all being Beliebers hahaha (it was a good album guys, no shame)

So thrilled what 2016 will bring to me (and us). New title, new responsibility, new job, new place, new learning, so many new things hahahaaha, scary. But i know it'll be alright, i have someone accompany me through thick and thin :)

See you 2015, you were sweet and challenging full of surprises :)

I'll see you soon 2016, here come the bridezilla! (Kidding)

Love,
