travel note.

went to HK-Shenzhen-Macau for a week last week (27 sept - 2 Oct 2011).


kudunya terbang dr cgk jam 1 pagi, 28 Sept 2011. but last minute di pilipin sono ada taifun, jadi lah kita semua dipindahin ke cathay which flying timenya 1 hr earlier and rutenya jkt lsg hk. dan gua pun jingkrak2 kegirangan. puji Tuhaaannn....soalnya dari sebelom brangkat udah males bener ngebayangin kudu transit di manila dulu 3 jem-an. eng ing eng...jadi lah kita sampe di hk 4 hrs earlier...hore!


thank God for the great weather on our first day in HK. ketemu poge and aiden. had lunch together di resto yg gua ga tau namanya apa. truuuss....nongkrong di coffee shop (lupa namanya apa; kelly/hellye brown) tapi enak. did a little shopping.
kayanya muter2 ampe lemes dah. mulai dari central, causeway bay. ngeliatin dari baju, spatu ampe elektronik. ga napsu ke ladies market. mahal sih. males. malem2 di causeway bay ujaaan....ga jadi deh ke sogo. huh!!!!!!! sebaaal! malah ke time square. huh! 
yang lain ke disneyland and ocean park. 


besokannya supposed to start the city tour at 8am, but too bad mother earth say otherwise. no city tour in the morning! she decided to hit hk with typhoon. haiya.....jadinya santai2 di hotel, jalan2 ke mall deket hotel yg dimana semua tokonya tutup....hahaha...T8 sih ye...
akhirnya jam 12 siang baru city tour dimulai...ujan2an pula...
went to avenue of the star ditemenin ujan plus angin kenceng. trus ke the peak, sepi pisan deh tu tempat, serasa milik sendiri. huhuhuuuuyy....
lunch at jumbo restoran pun tiada. hmm...pdhal seinget gua, disana itu lah tempat makan paling enak kalo ikut tur. oh well..... trus malemnya kita ke shenzhen. 


hotel di HK was nice, cuman jauhnya sebujung2 yah....tapi ada mtr, so oke lah ya...i dont mind...hihiihi....


hotel di shenzhen sih buluk, judulnya aja bintang 4...breakfastnya kaya losmen....hiiiiyy...
diajak ke toko obat....pake 'dipaksa' baca tlapak tangan ama sinseh...ga gua dengerin deh. males...ntar kecele suruh beli obat ampe 6 jeti....haih...tidak!
high light di shenzhen cuman lou wu aje...itu juga ga dapet banyak. tadinya mabok mo liat apa disana...ahahaha....dapet oleh2, ya lumayan deh...
shenzhen sih maju banget loh. jalanan cakep, taman2 kota rappiiiihh jali, gedong2 keren, ga ada tuh sampah bertebaran dimana2. padahal orang2nya not that discipline/nice/tau aturan. camnya pemerintah cina pinter aje. politiknya stabil sih ya, makanya banyak investor asing masuk and maju lah si shenzhen. ga kaya di endonesia ini...orang mao (bahasanye) ngasih duit ke pemerintah/penduduk endonesia malah dipersulit pake undang2 ini ono lah...repot! heran deh! ga pinter2! *kok jadi ngoceh2?*


then went to macau by ferry - i always love macau. nice. tempatnya kecil. gampang. 
taxi driver driving like mad! hehehe...ga peduli cuy di korsi blakang mo padet ato kaga. pas belok hajarrr ngebut...ahahahah....
love street foodnya. too bad masih banyak banget yg ga bisa bahasa inggris. pdhal macau itu one of the biggest tourism spot (for gambling), but as for me gua suka strolling di jalan2 kecil macau. 
influence portugisnya masih kenceng banget. seneng liatin nama2 jalannya walo kadang susah amet dibacanya...
mungkin gua suka macau karena influence portugisnya itu kali ya? serasa di eropah sana...heheheh...
kalo ada kesempatan balik ke macau lagi, pasti gua mau dah...ahahahahah....


jadwal balik dari macau ke manila trus jkt. tapi oh tapiiii....karena si taifun sayang, tak bisa lah kita terbang. di cancel lah pesawat ke manila itu. seumur2 baru pernah nih pesawat di cancel. 
jadi lah kita semua digiring kaya anak bebek ke ferry terminal untuk nyebrang ke hkia. dari hkia baru lah kita terbang ke manila. delay pula pesawat dari hk. jadi lah pesawat di manila nungguin kita sehingga doi ikutan delay juga. orang2 yg kena delay uda pada bt aje. sapa sih yang ga bt di delay ampe 2 jem??
lalu sampe lah kite di jkt jem 2 pagi. urus penginapan tim marketing, bobo lah kita jem 4 pagi. gua pake acara mandi dulu lagi. jijay kalo ga..lengket gitu. 


all in all...gua seneng liat tim marketing juga seneng. itu artinya kaga sia2 gitu ngeluarin duit. win win....hehehehhe....


anyway, ini travel note brantakan banget ya? heheheheheh....
sampai jumpa di travel note berikutnya (amiiinn)

septembeeeerrrr

september yah...
cepet yah...taun 2011 udah mau abis lagi ajee..


udah mau 2012 aje gitu. gua masih inget waktu masuk taun 2000. masih pake hp nokia 5110. hihihi....tu hp sih kuat. 


trus apa yah? 
lagi di kantor nih. 
hari ini baru bagi deviden. 3rd time in 2011. Thank God. bisa dibilang bisnis lancar. but cant compare apple to apple ama kantor kelapa gading yeeee...

laluhhh....
oh! there's always a first time for eveything kan? kemaren sukses ngerokin pundak sendiri. item bo! angin bener dah. pundak tight bgt kemaren. i thought kolesterol. tapi pas dikerok langsung feeling so much better. haiya...ada2 aja deh....
weather been bad. ujan ecek2 trus langsung panas lagi...ihhh...menyebalkan.


si ganteng dekil banget deh. udah kudu mandi....gak demen bener liat dia dekil pisan. mandiin doonnnggg.....


mau ke ace, cari pompa dan kemoceng....


cao!

this is that random

kenapa there are some people yang unbelievably self centered?

orang lain dijadiin tameng. padahal dia yang punya keperluan. 

dia yang punya mau, tapi suruh orang lain yang ngomong? 

eneg kale!

anyway...i think i lost few of my friends. not losing contact, but losing friendship.

baru mikir aja. 

im well aware orang2 itu sibuk. punya urusan masing2. ga punya waktu to chit and chat. jadi semuanya sinking aja.....and then gone...

truuusss.....

i think i need something to do. jadi otak ga mikir yg aneh2...hehehe...

plenty to do domestically, tapi office wise....all done, all done. done!

ntar cuma pengen pulaaaannng....trus gosok bajuuuuu sambil nonton tipiii...trus tidooor. hehehe....

dikala matahari meredup

kutemui dirinya...

dikala matahari menghilang

dia datang menghampiri...

dikala senjak menyeruak

kulihat dia datang...

............

 

Trying on Blogger new interface. 
clean ya keliatannya. 


kemaren sempet baca2 posting yg lama. lucu2 juga ya...
dodol!


tadi pagi ke AVAC, sampe jam 7.55am. anddd...ga ada yg antrin sama skali. we were the first sampe  sana. gile, kalo di jkt sih orang2 udah pada antri bererot kalo mo apply visa. 
disini santai pisan kali ya orang2. jam 8.30am, tukang bakmi aja belom buka. di gading jem 6 pagi udah pada buka....susah jadinya tadi mo cari makanan...ahahauehuae...
palingan toko roti yang udah buka. itu juga ga napsuin. hmmm...


emang beda banget sih ya idup di bali ama idup di jkt. disini orang2nya jauh lebih santai, jauh lebih relax. cenderung keliatan males. hehehe....bawaan lokasi wisata kali ya? 


contohnyaa....noh, di bank! buset eh buset...mo nangiiiiis kalo inget ngantri di bank kemaren. 
udah tau rame nih yg antri, mereka kerja tetep kaya siput dong ah! pick up your phase people! orang punya urusan lain other than antri di bank! and yg lebih parahnyaaaa....kemaren 1 klien buka tabungan, yg layain 4 freaking customer service. sedangkan orang di teller cuman 2 and yg antri sampe nomor 40an aje gitu! buset! pengen gua toyorin deh atu2...gemes!


on a very random notes, 
i think its time for me to go to hairdresser again. sudah gondrong. 
pengennya sih tahan2in sampe akhir september.

oh! bedoaaa...semoga application disetujuin. ameeeeeeeeennn....and dapet longer length period of time. ameenn....

on a random note, 

i think i need to pay a visit to the hairdresser soon dah..

and need to clean the house....especially the shower. hiiiiy....

.laughing my ass off with my bestie.

.watching cartoons.

.taking picture and be taken picture of.

.going shopping and get a great bargain.

.cleaning the house and enjoying the results.

.getting my hair cut.

.hugging my love ones.

.listen to jazzy tunes.

.seeing oncom.

...and i'm sure my list of happiness will grow and keep growing...!

i am happy. i decided to be happy....hehehe....

anyways...

don't feel like working today.

badan pada sakit. kemaren pijet, tapi kok paginya kaya orang abis digebukin.

sakit pisan!

this post is sooo random yeh?

hehehe...

kemaren grout the whole house. bersiinnya setenga mateeek!

kena deh dimarahin. hehehe....

lu lu pade!

lu!

kenapa lu tolol banget jadi orang? udah jelas-jelas puluan taon gak pernah dihargain.

selalu disakitin, selalu dikecewain. tapi tetep aje lu cinta mati ama die.

lu bahkan ga peduli orang lain, yang lu pikirin cuma die dan elu aje. selama lu bareng, lu hepi.

mao lu diinjek-injek kek, mao lu diludahin kek, mao lu digoblok-goblokin kek...lu juga ga peduli. yang paling penting lu bisa bareng ama die.

mana pernah sih lu mikirin perasaan orang laen? mana pernah? bahkan orang2 yang kudunya bener2 lu peduliin juga lu ga peduliin. yang lu peduliin kan cuma lu dan die ye? pokoke bareng ama die.

lu selalu ada buat die. selalu nyelametin die dari ketolol2an die, selalu ngelindungin die dari dosa2 die. hebat sih lu! sampe kapan mo jadi Tuhan? mungkin lu pikir lu hepi ye. seneng bisa bareng die walo lu sama skali ga pernah dihargain dan selalu jadi babu. jadi orang yang kerja keras dan diperes tenaga dan duitnya.

lu 'royal' banget sama die. berapa pun jumlahnya lu ga pusingin kalo buat nolongin die. awal2nya emang lu gak rela, lu ngomel2. tapi kita sama2 tau akhirnya lu akan rela, karena dia balik lagi ke elu.

gua heran, sama yang laen lu pelit banget. buat ongkosin acara terakhir orang yg kudunya penting banget didalem idup lu lu gak mau. kalo ga ditagih, ga bakalan tuh lu ngeluarin duit. lu bahkan ngingkarin janji, bilang kalo mo keluarin duit buat acara terakhir dia tapi nyatanya gak tuh...karena dia ga ngungkit janji lu, lu diem2 aje...PELIT BANGET LU!!!!

lu pernah mikir ga orang2 yang selalu ada buat elu? yang bela2in idup dia buat elu? mana pernah ya? orang2 itu ga pernah ada ya. kan yang ada cuma die. dunia lu isinya cuma lu berdua aje.

lu!!

kenapa lu bajingan banget? you value yourself too much.

lu mah ga peduli orang laen. yang penting lu bisa bikin dosa sebanyak2nya dan nanti tinggal meraung2 minta tolong ke 'tuhan' lu aja ya. gampang kan! jalan keluar lu cuma 1. itu ajah. gua yakin, lu tau kalo lu ngemis2 dia pasti nolongin elu. emang lu orang paling bangsat yang pernah gua temuin.

dari dulu lu paling hobi nyelakain orang laen. ngorbanin orang laen demi dapet semua yang lu mao. kurang bangsat apa coba lu? jangan harap ya gua mau nolongin elu. not in a million years. lu telpon kalo ada maonya doang.

gengsi lu kegedean padahal lu tuh ga punya apa2 tau gak? lu ga punya apa2 yang bisa dibanggain. lu kira lu cari duit? kaga tuh, lu cuma tau buang2 duit aja.

lu cuma mau seneng aja. ga kerja tapi selalu bisa beli apa aja yang lu mao. bisa jalan2 tiap taon. trus mamer ke orang2 kalo lu udah pernah kesono sini. enak ya idup lu. semuanya dapet.

lu tuh tukang tipu, ga lebih dari itu di mata gua.

aer mata lu tuh aer mata buaya. semua palsu, semua boong. semua penyesalan lu itu cuma sesaat, mentok juga setengah taon. abis itu setannya balik lagi.

lu tuh dramaaaa banget. kalo sakit teaduh2 kaya orang udah mo mati. tapi sama sekali ga ada usaha mau sembuh. cuma drama aje. aus peratian lu mah. tengil!

gua sih benci banget sama elu dari dulu. ga pengen ada urusan ama elu. jadi ya lu-lu gua-gua aja deh. liat muka lu aje gua males, apa lagi disuruh ngomong. duh...ga ada urusan deh ama lu mah.

lu lu pade emang cocok. satu si buta, satu si bangsat.

klop deh!

enjoy your world. don't (DO NOT) count me in. i'm outta there!

i miss...

.1810 #611

.....

waaawww...!

baru ngeh kalo ternyata i've been blogging since jan 2006?

udeh 5 taon aje gitu? waaaw....

gak berasa ya?

kayanya gua kebanyakan mikir ya jadi orang.

yang ada diotak semalem sebelom tidur: ac samsung, microwave panasonic, stabilizer matsuyama, bola warna warni bounce out, jumlah cash flow...

yea...im THAT random. haiya....

gak ngerti...

katanya jaman sekarang cari kerja susah.

banyak orang ga punya kerjaan dan cari kerjaa.

tapi ga ngerti kenapa banyak orang juga yang daftar kerja, dipanggil buat interview.

dateng interview, trus diproses ke interview ke dua. bilangnya mau dateng.

tapi di hari H, batang idungnya ga keliatan. ditelponin ga diangkat.

nah kalo kaya gitu, ngapain cari kerja? ga punya insiatif sopan santun untuk ngabarin juga.

maunya apa? udah ga perlu duit ya? ga perlu cari kerja?

gua ga ngerti maunya apa sih?

kalo memang terima kerjaan yang lain sih gak apa2, tapi jangan menghilang begitu aja.

buang2 waktu orang kan?

heran!

kalo begitu bukannya namanya gak appreciate orang ya? ga menghargai kesempatan yang dia punya sekarang? aneh....

ato mungkin emang belom jodoh juga kali apa ya? i dont know. kesel aja gitu.

o well!

on looking for an employee....

my first time ever looking for an employee.

apa sih yang paling penting dari seorang calon pegawai?

skills?

attitude?

to me it's attitude. iya, skills are important. tapi attitude lebih penting.

as long as orangnya mau belajar, pasti bisa.

gitu deh...hihihihi....

mari berdoa semoga kita ga salah pilih...amiiiiinnn....

pengen pulang....

males loh di kantor. i just have nothing to do at the moment.

looking forward to jakarta tomorrow.

waktu kok jalannya lama banget ya hari ini?

kuku udah mulai panjang, tanggung kalo mo potong. nanti aja deh di hot nails.

cant wait to have beautiful nails....hehehehe...

lapar. tapi gak tau mau makan apa. bosaaaaaaaaannn...

Inisiatif

Yang namanya Inisiatif itu bisa sangat membantu.

tapi bisa juga bikin ribet.

inisiatif in a proper portion can be real good.

lagi empet. seempet-empetnya.

kenapa ga punya inisiatif? kenapa musti disuruh?

why on earth???!!?

and kenape sensi banget? kalo soal diri sendiri aje loe, sensi...ke orang laen mana sensi sih lu?

kupret!

modnar

i found watering the plants is therapeutic. it slows me down. it gives me time to think and to enjoy myself.

i'm excited coz i'm leaving for jakarta in a few days.

i love wearing shawl. it gives me comfort and warm.

i miss my colorful nails. gonna have them soon! yey!

i finally found a hairdresser here in bali. yehew!

lusting on...

leather nude pump and or flats.

not sure what to write, since i have no clue what i'm feeling now.

....and that is weird!

i think something is different with my body. i think i'm not 100% healthy yet.

something is missing. something different!

tiny headache. too tiny i decided to ignore it.

anyhow, back in the office...

why can't you.....?

be more responsible?

paid more attention to what i said?

be more reliable and get things done without me keep reminding you what to do?

have the initiative to do more without me pushing you around to do stuff?

WHY?

barusan iseng baca2 entry blog yang lama...

tapi somehow bacanya things yang bikin gua keki dulu...

can really feel the emotion loh...ahauhuhauhea....

hari ini i feel oke. maksudnya bodynya gitu loh...

punggungnya getting better. ga pegel2 lagi

i think karena mandi air dingin malem2 kali ya? jadi kaku gitu...

daku menua...oh no!

barusan melototin cash flow. haduh! saya stress....

almost no more pipelines? eeeeekkk!! bahaya ini bahaya iniiii....

tapi saya percayaaaaa Tuhan itu a provider God, akan dicukupin...amin, amin, amiiinn...

by the way, i think i should put my braces back on. males deh bobo pake braces. ganggu gitu...

ah ntar ganti sprei ah....

masak apa ya ntar malem?

having a bad day....

yeap!

i declare today is the bad ass day....

reason(s)? you mas ask.

no reason(s) at all.

but the mood hasn't been pretty since an hour ago.

mau marah marah, mau ngoceh ngoceh. pengen nampolin orang.

mau mengumpat pake semua bahasa di dunia kalo bisa...

gah!

everything got in my nerve.

mau mesem aje susye ni ari.

and to top of it, i have nothing to do. nothing to distract this mind. numpuk lah ye....

on trying something new

tried snorkeling yesterday at Mengiat Beach, nusa dua.

i have to pad my shoulder for trying something new.

i'm not an adventurous person. i don't like taking risks. in a fact, i refused to take any risks!

which lead to...i am a boring person. hehehehhe....

awal-awalnya gak enjoy sih. ya mungkin karena freak out duluan. kok napas aja susah bener...air laut masuk mulut mulu...cape deh...

trus kok rasanya cape banget. mungkin karena uda panik duluan. orang lain kok kayanya santai banget, kenapa kok gua ga bisa ya?

udah almost gave up! udah mo balik to the beach aja and sit down!

but again, i decided to give it another shot. and im glad!

coba lagi deh and this time pake kaki kodok itu loh....and belajar napas lagi. gak berapa lama bisa kok...i enjoy malaaaahhh....hahauhahua...

too excited....liat ikan tunjuk sana, tunjuk sini...hehehe...noraknya ampun2an...ahuehuae...

im ready for tulamben! heheheheh....

thank God!

again

kan lagi kan?

terlalu banyak mikir.

cape de....

the random me

bosan ya?

not sure what to do. nothing to do juga.

all done. all beres!

sometimes i miss writing....

kalo baca blog orang lain soooo interesting ya.

how come i cant be that creative?

hehehhe...oh well...

lagi mikir mau buat butter cookies...hihihih...

tapi ga punya cetakan yak!

bahan2nya gampang banget,....make from scratch or beli yg udah siap bake aja ya?

from scratch mungkin lbh seru ya...

hell yeah i'm freaking out.

sebenernya i know, i need to. i mean, everything is gonna be okay.

i just have to believe. yakin dan percaya that everything is gonna be okay.

and it's not a waste. it's an investment. amiiiiinnn....

aih....

annoying!

keseeell!

ga pengen dealing with tax issues!

ga perna punya pengalaman soal tax, all i know cuma dulu urus tax personal ajaaa...

ga pernah urus tax perusahaan.

yang lebih annoying lagi, tax consultant-nya ignorant!

jelas jelas judulnya 'consultant', ya dia harus consult gua dong...tapi ini gak tau apa2...

taunya cuma terima duit doang!

pale lu benjut!

trus i panic over his bad decisions...*sigh*

mati lah...lemes...

the only thing yg oke itu rasanya cuma bau minyak telon di kantor, yg si peni pake....

such a morning!

My very 1st car

punya cita cita haruuuuuus punya mobil. gak tau mobil apa, tapi haruuus punya mobil, padahal belom bisa nyetir. terakhir belajar nyetir umur 15 taon. hehehe...

jadi, pulang kuliah dulu...first thing i did itu belajar setir dan bikin sim.

ngimpi punya ngimpi dulu pengen punya honda jazz. tapi apa daya duitnya ga cukup (maklum deh abis pake duit tabungan).

akhirnya...dengan modal nekad and minta ditemenin dombleh, jadi lah saya beli karimun item keluaran taun 2003 yang harganya cukup menguras seluruh isi celengan di bank. nasib, nasib....tapi gak apa-apa, demi kemandirian di kelak hari.

abis punya mobil, mau gak mau harus belajar setir dong? mubajir kalo engga. tapi emang sudah bertekad harus bisa nyetir. gak mau naek angkot, bukannya sombong loh...tapi tingkat kriminalitas di jakarta kan tinggi pisan. jadi kalo masih bisa melindungi diri sendiri ya saya lakonin.

awal-awal masih ditemenin. mostly ama dombleh and kendi. mereka lah orang yang berjasa ngajarin gua nyetir. dari super culun, harus liat dikala ganti gigi, anjluk2an pas angkat kopling sampe akhirnya gapeee (istilahnya merem juga bisaaa...jieee...)

rute biasanya dari rumah ke kantor (kuningan) lewat casablanca (dulu macetnya ga kaya neraka model sekarang ini...hiih) ato rumah ke mester.

saban sabtu pagi si kendi dateng ke cawang, just for nemenin gua nyetir dari cawang ke kuningan. sepi kan noh sabtu, gak ada yg kerja...cuma kantor indihe aje yang ngewajibin kita kerja rodi di hari sabtu!

nah si karimun itu, i named him Roti. secara kata mak gua kotak bener tu mobil! tapi ga pernah nyebut nyebut roti. kayanya gua lupa gua namain dia. hehehehhe....

tapi yang paling penting, tu mobil amat sangat gua rawat!! saban minggu pagi gua mandiin luar dalem. gak boleh bawa orang banyak-banyak. disayang banget deh!

si karimun sempet jadi the only car in the house. jadi suka ada yg pinjem, walo dalem ati gua kaga rela. soalnya yg minjem suka jorok!

selain for me, dia juga jasanya banyaaakk banget buat orang lain....

1. sering jadi mobil angkut barang dagangan nyokap, sampe terseok seok shock breakernya (!!)

2. pernah jadi mobil angkut barang dagangan kendi and gua. belanja ke asemka, diisiin ama blanjaan segambreng tapi ga seberat seragam yeee....namanya juga jualan stationary!

3. pernah jadi mobil penyelamat mlb and family di kala gading banjir. gua tutupiiiin tuh semua karpet saking takutnya sendal2 becek sembarangan masuk mobil.

4. pernah jadi mobil angkut pas clubbing. perna juga gua nyetir sedikit tipsy.

he's been there for me through the thick and the thin.

bela2in balik nama dia jadi nama gua pribadi. B 2341 HI used to be B 2553 OW.

disaat gua bener2 gak punya duit, gak pernah sekalipun terlintas di kepala gua mau jual dia. disaat bener2 tong pes, gua masih bela2in beli bensin, sparepart, and service (thank you mami pau for the special price!)

he was there when i laughed my ass off, i cried my eyes out, i prayed, i sang and danced (when driving along of coz), i ditilang polisi siaul....

namanya juga manusia or in this case barang ya....pasti ga perfect. dia sempet punya problem dinamo. kalo distarter suka gak mau, accu maot, trus selang bensin ke mesin bocor (untung masih bisa diakalin pake lem besi...hehe)

regardless, dia still my best car!

i took a damn good care of him!

bahkan when i decided to let him go, gua gak mau kompromi soal harga. it was either you take it or leave it! and i prayed semoga they took a damn good care of him!

pernah liat dia kalo diacara kumpul keluarga (secara yang beli sepupu sendiri). sedih, miris, dan celingak celinguk ke dalem mobilnya. pengen liat dia udah diapain sih? rapih ga sih? disayang ga sih? diurus ga sih?

intinya, i still love him! he'll always be in my heart *lebay ye...bodo ah!*

he was my very first car....

apa kabarnya dia sekarang ya?

hiks hiks hiks hiks....

hari ini....

jadi penghuni lantai 3...sendirian...

peni and pak michael tumbang gara2 flu...

semua kerjaan udah gua selesain...hhhmm....

things i did in the office today (other than my normal job desc):

1. stretching - need to start yoga-in...soooonn!

2. cut my hair - yep, cut my hair. did it in jakarta, but not too fond of the result. managed to make it look better.

3. thinking of what should be doing for the house, especially the kitchen. haiyo! ga mau pake raknya ah...jijay!

dot dot dot dot dot.....

this and that!

crappy!

rumah kok rasanya ga beres2....cape aja jadi the one whose being positive all the time.

had my break down last night! nangis ga, marah iya!

couldnt do laundry properly! what the heck???!?!

dimana lagi yg salah?apa lagi yang salah?

most of the time i feel nobody to count on. nobody to help me think and actually do stuff.

bikin marah. kesel. emosiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii...........

gua yang harus mikir, gua yang harus ingetin, gua yang harus dorong2,....gila kali!

gua punya bates kaleee!

camnya ga ada niat to do stuff. to make the house better.

gak mikir2 apa2.... or kalo mikir juga cuma ngomong doang...ga ada tuh tindak lanjutnye!

hih!

cape de!

Lent

Today is Ash Wednesday.

Lent starts.

What should I give up?

Meat? Sweets? Facebook? The Internet? Coffee?

WHAT?

on pictures taking

i like taking pictures but have no interest editing them.

i like good raw pictures.

set a challenge for myself a while ago - use a pocket camera to take good (or great) pictures.

no need the great device(s). just 1 pocket camera.

i think it's not about the great device or the great technology.

its about the skill, the perception, the angle, and the mood (to me yes, mood is a big thing).

and yep, i'm continuing and enjoying the challenge.

remembering you....

sometimes i forget that you are gone...

like now, like today.

it brought up tears.

how are you up there?

great i suppose....yea, i'm sure. :)

gak sengaja nemu your email back in 2006.

you asked me how i feel the day after mlb got hitched.

how ade felt.

you care, you always cared...

aku tahan kantuk
sampe ngangguk ngangguk
kerjaan bertumpuk tumpuk
pasang muka kusuk
aku belaga sibuk
aku celingak celinguk
liat orang2 pada sibuk
aku makin terpuruk
dalam keadaan yang buruk
ingin mengamuk
menghantam kelabu hiruk pikuk
aku ngoceh sampe terbatuk batuk
menahan murka yang makin terbentuk
jancuk!
ayo semangat jangan mengkerut
biar jalan di depan licin berlumut
biar pandangan penuh kabut
jangan sampai terhasut
ayo maju terus pantang kusut
mari panjatkan doa sambil berlutut
semoga kita tidak lagi takut
menghadapi hidup yang penuh kemelut

Ps. I miss writing.

the importance of a warning

after the boss called and warned 2 of our sales people, today both came to the office and brought some new listings.

as much as i really want to let them go, i still appreciate their effort.

so let's pray that this isn't temporary. let's pray that they will take this job seriously.

i know not all people can do what they do now (see me, i tried for 4 months, i couldn't do it).

i miss my legacy....

my legacy = dagangan stationary and school bag.

it's almost that time of year again.

i really miss doing all the shopping, the thinking, the wrapping, the labeling, and most importantly...i miss feeling the excitement of selling those stuffs.

i guess i have to pass on the legacy yea?

i hope whoever yang lanjutin my legacy would do such a good job.

please do not disappointed me. i built it and too bad i can't continue. i would if i could.

hikhikhikhikhik....

moment like this...

today is the day when i miss my blog, but have no idea what to write about.

i guess, just wrote down whatever pop in my head, ya?

sudden crave for sushi!

a bit hungry, maybe that's why.

i wanna eat.....

*so randooommm*

i miss my blog sometimes.

i miss writing now and then.

just like now...writing about everything under the sky.

anyway, found pepsi ice cucumber (yep, ice cucumber).

they were gonna launched it back in 2007 in Japan.

don't think it was a big hit, yea?

wonder how it taste?

weird.

i know i should work on my stuff since it's almost the end of the month.

but...i have no mood laaahh....

chinese new year is next week.

decided to spend CNY in bali rather than going back to jakarta.

used to be very, very excited abt CNY. not anymore (most likely becoz im not longer eligible receiving that red envelopes *hik*)

i need travelling. now, i wanna go to korea. eat, eat, eat, eaaattt....

also japan...and yes, to eat, eat, eat, eaaattt....

okay, got my power back now...time to get busy...

here, there, and everywhere

rain just stopped.

sky still gloomy.

fine with that.

got nothing to do.

finished everything.

so how?

what to do?

bla blehe bloho blihiiiiii....

so bored.

lately, feeling so bored.

here, almost got no life.

i think i'd lost my sanity if i have no tv cable.

thank God for tv cable.

can't stand watching local channel.

tired. yea, for no apparent reason.

went to ubud yesterday. 1st black and white trial.

not so great. so so.

haven't got a chance to review the result.

not looking forward either.

but! i shall say i love starbucks ubud!

nice atmosphere.

would love to come back for a longer coffee/tea session.

nyepi mau kabur kemana ya?

Vivian Maier

Cant get enough of Vivian Maier's pictures.

kadang sampe agak merinding liat foto2nya...

keren!

ampe terinspirasi mau belajar foto black and white.

these questions been running in my head:

how to capture great pictures without using great camera?

how to make the most out of my pocket camera?

jadi pengen foto foto.

but i want a city setting. not landscape.

dimane ye?

heeehhh??!?!

Typed this yesterday.

Honestly, I don’t understand.

Kok ada orang ga tau diri model gitu?

Ke kantor ga pernah, menghasilkan pun engga sama sekali…eh giliran ada undangan meeting trus makan2 dia dateng dengan santainya dan tentunya pake alesan ‘dateng telat’, so she can skip the actual meeting and join the festive. Kaya ga ada apa2 aja gitu. Apa gak malu?

Trus bisa dengan pd nya bilang dia harus diingetin ke kantor. HELLLOOOOWWW???!?!?! Cari duit kudu diingetin? Sama sekali GAK masuk akal! Kalo mau bela diri mbok ya pinteran sedikit. Jangan tolol2 amat lah! If I were the bos, I’d fired her on the spot! That’s ridiculous! Mana ada orang cari duit kudu diingetin? Emang makan juga lu kudu diingetin? Stupid!

I’m pretty sure, gak lama dia balik kok. She haas no steady income. Gak punya kerjaan tetap. Cuma cari free lunch aja. Lumayan kan dapet free lunch di resto yg ok. Geez….bener2 ga masuk akal! Gak ngerti jalan pikiran dia apa? Ga punya otak kali ye? Ga punya urat malu juga! Bener deh….malu2in banget!

oh well....

Christmas Eve

Don't feel like spreading the 'Merry Christmas' greetings to anybody.

Not sure why.

In fact, don't feel like going to the Church and celebrate Christmas.

What's wrong with me ya?

Oh, well...

shaved ice falling from the sky

checked out a friend pictures whom still live in Milwaukee.

snowing already.

i miss snow...i really do.

i miss watching the first snow falling down to the earth.

i miss touching the snow with my hands (and sometimes tongue).

i miss the warm feeling of looking at the city covered with snow.

snow....

hiks....

Everybody has a Monday blues, right?

Note: Wrote this on Monday, 20 Dec 2010

Dari melek mata udah kesel….thus, no good mood today. Plus, it’s Monday.

Crap crap crap craaaaapppp!!!!!!

Pagi pagi listrik mati di rumah…kaga bisa mandi. Ruined my mood already. Karena bangun ga enak, pala jadi puyeng…mongki! Kalo pala puyeng gua ga bisa kerja. Truuuss like its not enough yet, internet di kantor mati lagi….reseee….

Gua cuma pengen mandi kok….keramas…clean my hair and body…emang sih ga keringetan, tapi kan bawaannya kaga enak. Lengket for some reason!

Keseeeelll!

Ga ngerti kenapa mati lampu mulu…monyet! Udah 4 kali nih….hari sabtu 2 kali, tapi Cuma sebentar aja. Minggu pagi, electricity went off for 2 hrs. trus tadi pagi dari jem 8 pagi…maunya apaan sih?

Gua ga peduli orang mo kate gua manja ato apa lah…sebodo amat! This is how I feel…so yeah, I have every right to say whatever I want! I cant do this, I cant function well today! Gggrrrr…..

Why everything seems so berantakan? Why I have no control over all things?

Lately mikir, kalo gua ini orangnya yg harus punya control over stuff. Harus punya!kalo ga bisa stress sendiri. Like now. Like lately. Stress sampe rambut rontok! Bikin gua makin stress aje. Udah rambut tipis, eeehh die rontok….makin streeeesssss…..

selama I live in bali, I barely ngerasa relax. Stress! Really stress! Emang kita jalan2 ke pantai lah, ke ubud lah, ato watch tv lah….but deep down I know gua stress. Rumah yg ga layak tinggal (and im freaking glad that we are moving out soon!!!), taman yg kotor, daon pohon jepun yang rontok mulu bikin gua keki. Rumah yang selalu kotor, baru sapu pel, 10 menit kemudian udah kotor lagi. Belom lagi lemari yg bener2 gua benci! Dari depan gede, tapi dalemnya kecil dan nyebelin. Trus the house smelly. I hate it! Dapur yg udah kaya gudang. Udara dalem rumah yg gua benci! Suasana rumah yg gua benci!

I can say, bali is great for vacation, but NOT for living!

Gua ga pernah fully setuju move to bali kok. He never really asked me. He decided and then he told me we are moving to bali. I have been trying to look at the silver lining. But I haven’t found it yet. Things happened here malah bikin gua makin sebel pindah ke sini. I miss Jakarta, I miss kelapa gading. As much as I hate traffic jam yang rese, I prefer to live in Jakarta. Coz I have everything I needed in Jakarta.

Yes, I am complaining now!!! Biiiiaaarrr…..kesel, kesel, kesel….

3 days til Christmas....

okay, first of all, this post has nothing to do with Christmas countdown....

I just feel like yapping here since I have no mood to talk to a person....

This morning, I found out that somebody hit my car. I dont know how it happened, when it happened.

But cant deny the anger (yep, ANGER) is here!

Been wondering why everything seems falling apart. I lost my grip! hiks....

I cant even handle tiny little thing, like remembering my car insurance due date. heeek!

blah to the blaaaahhh

there's no such thing as Christmas in Bali

Yep! you are reading it right!

No Christmas here.

No decent decorations.

No red nor green color.

No Christmas tree.

(almost) nothing!

haih!

On other note, I think I'm going to skip my yoga (agaaain!!)

A bit guilty, but the mood hasn't been good today.

A new year resolution: Do yoga at least twice a week starting January 2011.

Not sure what am I going to do this weekend. Only have 1 more day left.

I need a good closure, I really do. :(

oh! I want a good book and a quiet night.

!!!!!

PALING GAK SUKA DITUNJUK-TUNJUK DI DEPAN MUKA!

emang menurut lu, gua apaan?

emang menurut lu, lu siapa?

mongki!

i want something more

I want something more.

Other than spending the time together.

I want us to listen and to share.

It's not only about having fun.

It's not only about watching TV together.

I want something more.

Something special, something meaningful.

I want him to listen without judging.

I don't need any comments from him.

I just want his ear and heart.

I want something more.....

mi casa no es su casa

Few people knew I'm a very private person when it came to my properties; i.e: room, house, car, clothes, shoes etc. Basically, everything I owned. You get the picture. Hence, I can be really fussy when one come near (barely touch) my properties without me inviting or offering him/her.

Call me possessive or whatever, like I care.

Saying that, I am well aware sometimes my very-private-behavior can be a pain in my ass.

I have place for everything (read: EVERYTHING), really!

A small example: My desk. I organized my desk with a purpose, which to ensure that I, the owner of the desk, can get everything I need without have to hustle and bustle.

I don't mind they borrowing my stuff, but please keep in mind to be responsible and return it exactly where you get it. Why is it so hard? Am I asking too much?

Let's talk about my car.

Hell, I love my car. I took a damn good care of my car. It's clean (not always, but I try my best to keep it as clean as I can). It's tidy. It's organized. It smells good.

Few rules in my car:

No food allowed (especially something oily, soup of any kind), therefore no eating (or munching) in my car. Hard candy is tolerable, chocolate bar and ice cream are not. Food smells the car, the whole car. It's disturbing!

No colored drinks allowed (as much as I love coffee, I NEVER drink coffee in my car). I can tolerate mineral water.

Max passenger including the driver is four. Five is tolerable, depends on the situation. But five is THE max, regardless my type of car. If I had more than five, you'd see my grumpy face.

No feet or toe on the dashboard. It's simply impolite. Please behave.

Do not step on the side frame of the car when you are going into the car.

Check your shoes/sandals for any mud before you get in. If you have any, please make sure you clean it before you step into the car. Any attempt of cleaning would be great appreciated.

No complaining about how my car looked like, the suspension or any kind. You are riding in my car. I do you a favor. Keep your comments to yourself. Only positive and constructive comments are welcome.

Now move to my house, shall we?

I hate being a host. I really do. My house is my personal area. Therefore, I barely ask people to come and visit my house. But when I decided to invite you, I am inviting you with all my heart.

I drew a pretty thick line between my house and others.

If you are really nice and really responsible or if I knew you well or if you are my immediate family, I might invite you to come, hang around, and maybe spend few nights.

When you took a shower in my bathroom and using my towel without asking for my permission, it was WAY over the line! It was unacceptable!! No laughing matter!!

I think what I'm trying to say is, "mi casa no es su casa."

can feel the heat

judul diatas sama sekali ga ada hubungannya sama isi postingannya....

we got a house.

they are still building it, but we manage to have changes here and there.

had a miscommunication regarding the placement of the shower glass between the builder and us.

he's willing to bongkar, but there's no guarantee the pipe bisa di konek ke saluran air....ah ribet deh pokoke....

....despite that, i think the house will look great. it's about decoratingnya aja.

went to a yoga session yesterday.

the heat i couldn't bear! sweating from the top of my head to the bottom of my toe!

almost passed out in the class. hehehe....

but it was a good class after all. all good!

will be going to Australia in 5 days. *excited!*

pray for a nice weather.

didn't get enough sleep. short fused in the morning. now, okay.

sleepy all day long.

When you are given a warning and a chance....

What would you do?
would you give up instead of fighting?
would you fight?
would you surrender to die?

I hope you are going to fight, not for me or anybody else, but for your own sake.
You are deserve to be more than happy.
So, this is your time to fight to find your Eureka!

Fight, Mother, fight.....

Farewell, Mami....
