Kidnapped By Marce for 2 nites ^___^




Still continued from the previous album…..
Desy persuaded Marce to send me home.Marce said,”Mei,I tell you what.You will make me send you home tonite,but wait till I have guts.”hahahhahahah

Desy kept persuading her and me,too.Finally she said,”Ok,Meice.Let’s gooooo”. Yipeeeeeeeeee !!!!!!

Around 7pm,we drove back to Cincinnati.Desy was leading in the front.Marce took a different exit that we splited with Desy.She called me and I said,”Marce usually takes this way,Des.” She said,”Oh, ok then. I just wanna make sure where you go.But anyway,take care then.”

We went to the bar.Ronnie and Dave were there.I gave Ronnie a piece of birthday cake.Marce and I were spending time in the back bar.

Marce said she was hungry.So,I heated some popcorn and then offered her to have dinner at home.We drove home and Ronnie was there ( he’s taking a shower before ).I still had Rendang n Sambal Goreng Ati. I teased Marce and said,”Don’t eat them allllllll.” Hahhahahhaha

Ronnie went back to the bar,meanwhile we’re still having dinner.Around 12pm,we drove back to the bar.I didn’t want to let Marce go home by herself in the middle of the nite.I offered her to take me home with her. Cie……..akhirnya jadi slumber Party dehhhh : P

Marce said to Ronnie,”Ronnie,can I kidnap Mei2 for one nite,pls?” Hahhahahhaha.Ronnie said,”Yes,take her with you,Have fun.” Hahhahahahha .Idihhhhhhhhhhhh
So,we drove back to Kettering.On the way,we’re talking.Suddenly I felt so very tired. I said to Marce,”Mar,be quite.I am so sleepy. I wanna sleep now.” But,she kept talking and I said,”Shut up,Marce.I am sleeping.”She teased me,”How can you talk while you’re sleeping?”Hahhahahahhaha

Later,she woke up me.She said,”Mei-Mei,we arrive.Goodness,you snore!!!!!!” Hahahahhaha.Blm tau diaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
Carl aka Karce opened the door for us.I walked to a bedroom they provided to me.Marce asked me,”What time should I wake you tomorrow,Mei?” I said,” Don’t wake me up.I’ll wake when I wanna.” Hihihihihi.

Day 2 :
Around 10 am,I woke up.I overheard Marce was laughing on the phone,talking abt my name.She kept laughing and said,” I kidnapped Mei2 last nite.I will ask her to help me cooking for tomorrow.You wanna come to have lunch with us here?with Mei – Mei? “ Aihhhhhhhhhhhhh si Marceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

She called a couple friends.I went out from the bedroom and looked at her laughing again.She said,” This is Irma,Mei.”She kept talking and said,”Mei – Mei just woke up.She’s laying down on the couch now.”
Marce asked me to get ready.We went to Kroger.She bought some stuff for Mbak Maya’s birthday on Sunday. On the way back home, heyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!! Garage sale!!!!! Yippeee… We stopped there. I bought 2 CDs,Christian songs and a musical round ball.
Jessy called Marce.She invited us to have lunch there instead.Well, we went there around 4pm.There, I met her Mom.She cooked us Chinese noddles.It tasted sooooooooooooo good!!!!!!!!!!!!! I loved it.Never had that before.

Jessy was talking abt dinner and dessert.She said,”Mei – Mei,can you make Onde2 ?” Wahhhh what a coinsidence!!! I brought my stuff to make Bubur Candil.But,since Jessy wanted to have Onde2,it’s fine by me.
Since Jessy didn’t have much stuff,she took us back to Kettering to Asian Store, Far East Centre and to Value City. I bought 2 clothes ( ngutang sama Marce tadinya ) ^___^
We went back to Troy ( where Jessy lives) and started cooking.I made Onde2.Marce helped me boil them. After that, I cooked Cap Chai minus green veggies.But,still tasted good.

We went home around 10pm.Karce was at home.We’re really tired.It’s almost midnite,and I gotta go home.Marce said,”Mei,wait.Let me cook rending with low flame,so we can send you home.”I helped her cut potatoes.Karce helped,too.Ihhhhhhhhh.. selingkuhan…Hahhahahhaha

We teased Karce and he was so nervous.He felt the potatoes a couple times.
I said to Marce,”Mar…what kind of wife are you?You let your hubby peel the potatoes meanwhile you’re sitting there.You are fired as a wife.”She laughed out loudly.
Again,another joke from her,”Ehh…aren’t you the other woman?”Hahhahahahha.
I replied,”Eits…. So, we’re sharing hubby then,huh?” Hahahhahahhaha

When I was done, I laid down.I thought I could wait for Marce to cook.But,alas…. I felt asleep in the couch. Karce woke me up and said,”you’re sleeping?” Goodness!!!

Marce asked me to call Ronnie.She asked whether I could be sent home the next morning,cos it’s almost 1am.They’re really tired.Ok then. I called my baby,and he said,”Aghh..sound another nite staying there,huh? Ok,babe.It’s fine.You can go home tomorrow morning.But,seems I would be going to church by myself.” Ihhhhhhhhhh….

So, Karce sent me home on Sunday morning.

Me and Desy went to attend Mami Rini’s birthday on Friday.Before,I cooked at home.I had promised to bring Lumpia n Sambal Goreng Ati.Novilia called me in the morning.She would like to stop by to say hi to me.Of course I was so very happy.Once she arrived,I had done cooking.She had lunch with me. Later on,she helped me bake Nastar. I packed some for Novi,so she shouldn’t cook at home.

After Novi left,Desy called me.She came around 3pm.I let her watch my nastar meanwhile I took a shower.She had a lil lunch in the kitchen.She ate from the pan.Hahhahahahahhaha. Gak sabaran si Dece ^____^

Around 4pm,we left for Middletown.I called Marce and she said,”We’re waiting for Celebrity here.Hurry up.The food was almost gone.” Ihhhhhhhhhh segitunyaaaaaaa

Mami Rini cut her cute purse-birthday cake.It tasted soooooo good!!!!!!!! Sabrina got the lil box with pearl necklace ^___^

The party was continued by opening the presents.Hooray!!! Mami Rini got some presents!!!

Ronnie's Smiley Note :)



Friday noon, I was picked by Anne Marie.We attended Women's Ministries Time Apart 2006 in Colombus for 2 days.As usual,I left a message to Ronnie .I put a lil note next to his desk.When I was in Colombus,I called him.He said,”Hi,baby.Missing you here.” ^___^ . I got your message,hun.Can’t wait to see you tomorrow.Enjoy the trip.Love ya.” Wuihhhhhh… it did make me wanna go home at that right time.Hahahhahahaha.


So….the next day, I went home. I found my note was still on the table.Hey,something’s different with the note.I came closer and saw a smiley symbol on the note.Ronnie made it!!  WAHHHHHHH. I am so flattered. Short message,full of meaning.Hahahahaha.


We’ve been missing one each other so bad.Aghhhh… being away far from my half soul makes me suffered.^____^. I arrived at home around 8.30pm and called him to the bar.I said to him,”Baby.. it’s so cuteeee.The smiley you made on the note,makes me happy”.He laughed and said,” love ya,hun.I’ll pick you later.Missing you so much here.Get ready.” Hooray!!!!!
