Best of 2009

Perjalanan gue selama 2009? Penuh warna banget! Semua kejadian yang gue alamin tahun ini bener2 bermacam-macam dan bermakna. Seperti yang udah dibilang berulang kali, 2009 adalah tahun yang bener2 penuh warna untuk Bidadari Bengal. Because I don't know what to say, without further ado, here's the list in no chronological order:

• Getting closer to Menik and Kucil. They really made my year! Luv you, gals. ;)
  
• I broke up with my ex. Really broke up. I mean, for good. And I had to thank Mbul for it.
  
• Had a great time with Mbul. We had no status of relationship, but we were happy. Sadly, the happiness was cut by his death. And I don't think I could forget about it.
  
• Being busy at work. Super busy. Had no time to grieve.
  
• Errr, got a friend with benefit. Well, you know, CrewCut... Great body, no great mind. Well damn, nobody's perfect, eh? And yeah, Mbul is still lurking in the back of my mind.
  
• Last but not least, My Li'l Bangbag. That little munchkin is the source of my joy and happiness everyday. I need at least a smile from her in the morning. Or a kiss. That kid is really a bundle of joy. Luv you so so so much, kiddo.
  
• Oh, at last we got to be close again to Mama, our long lost member of the gang. She's in deep shit. And I'm really sorry for that. But I'm glad because she trusts us to stay a part of her life.
  
• Many things I forgot to mention, but surely not forgotten in time.

Maybe they don't seem much. No material things, nothing to be proud of. But I am happy. I got to be more open to my friends. And I learn to give and take, be more sympathetic, broaden my mind, and more importantly, to be more patient. Like I said few months ago, 2009 was a colorful year. That's exactly what it was. From darkest colors to lightest colors. Gloomy and merry. I had them all in 2009. What a year to be in. ;)

I Will Carry You - Clay Aiken

I WILL CARRY YOU - Clay Aiken

Yeah I know it hurts 

Yeah I know you're scared walking down the road that leads to who knows where 

Don't you hang your head don't you give up yet 

When courage starts to disappear I will be right here

[Chorus:]

When your world breaks down and the voices tell you turn around 

When your dreams give out I will carry you, carry you

When the stars go blind and the darkness starts to flood your eyes 

When you're falling behind, I will carry you

Everybody cries 

Everybody bleeds 

No one ever said that lifes an easy thing 

Thats the beauty of it, when you lose your way

Close your eyes and go to sleep and wake up to another day

[Chorus]

You should know now that you're not alone 

Take my heart and we will find, you will find, your way home 

When your dreams give out I will carry you, carry you 

When the stars go blind and the darkness starts to flood your eyes

When you're falling behind 

I will carry you, carry you 

I will carry you, carry you 

I will carry you, carry you 

I will carry you

Bengal's 2010 Wish

What to do next year? I wonder if I could make it gloriously. Hmmm... What follows next is not really a resolution, but more to what I wish to have/do/make in year 2010. Here they are:

• Be more feminine. Or should I say, ladylike?
  
• Work harder. I'll do my damnedest to be indispensable. Who knows? Along with bigger money, I might be one of the decision makers in a few years.
  
• Leadership. I have no leadership whatsoever. But I kick ass! Ask Menik, if you don't believe it. Peace, yo!
  
• Tone my body. I hope being busy would be enough for it. No budget for gyms or dieticians. Mwehehehehehh...
  
• Be totally independent. Financially and mentally.
  
• Put a better watch on my health. Eat more carefully, and move my body. Yeah, be grooooovy... *Backsound: Lady Gaga's songs. Pick one.*
• Saving. I want to have a nest egg by the time I'm forty. 
• Stay clear from any arguments and clashes. Hate clashes. Of any form. Totally a pacifist.
• Stay happy, and be even happier. Woohooo!!

Quite simple, eh? Will they all be fulfilled? Let's see it on 31st December 2010, yeah? Exactly one year from now on. I need to be focused on my job, and expand my abilities and knowledge. This year, I'm gonna be an ambitious bitch. Haha, like I could! Oh well, wish me luck, peeps...

Rant Rant Rant

I wanna get off now, boss. Pleaseee??? Let me goooo... I've got an appointment at 6, and you guys suddenly drag me out for a meeting, at the time I'm supposed to finish work. Come on!

Jeez!

Bengal's If-Onlys

Sometimes, no, most of the time I wish I could make Menik permanently pissed. Hihihiy. It's sometimes too easy to prank her, with a little help from Kucil, of course. Especially at times like this. Yo Menik, stop being too uptight. You said you are easy going. Hell, no! You're still letting Duypret playing havoc with your mind. Chill out, cuy. Do as you said you would. Open your heart to other guys. Guys are great! I love guys! Qiqiqiqiqi...

Until now, I still haven't had any plan for new year's eve. Any suggestions? Menik keeps saying that she's going to semedi and tirakat at her boarding place. Meanwhile, Kucil hasn't made any suggestion either. I want to spend old & new with my best friends. But I don't know. I guess they have other plans. Maybe I should just stay at home and sleep. *Hueeeek!*

At the moment, I have lots of 'if onlys':

• If only hotel room rates are affordable and could still get a booking for new year's eve.
• If only there's no traffic jam on NYE.
• If only my 3 best friends can make it with me. All together.
• If only Menik would eat sushi and sashimi.
• If only there's no such thing as sweet chili sauce. *Yaikss!*
• If only I could drive. At least I could cruise the highway alone if those 3 gengges women couldn't get together for NYE.
• If only Menik would be able to banish Duypret from her mind and live normally.
• If only there's always cheesecake in my fridge.
• If only every warung roti bakar made hot black coffee as Starbucks do.
• If only I have my own Milo machine at home.
• If only I had my Starbucks agenda by now.
• If only Clive Owen would convert to Islam and propose to me. *No offense. I just want him so badly. Sigh*
• If only I have a wide selection of sexy hunks in my room.
• If only I lived in Bali.
• If only I could live in Toscano instead.
• And if only I didn't ramble so much about these 'if-onlys'.

I digress. Menik, Kucil, Mama... Discuss what are we to do on New Year's Eve. As long as it doesn't involve work, I'm in. Uh, maybe I shouldn't say that just now. *Knock on wood*.

Super headache. And gets more escalated by the continous cigarettes smoke hovering all over my workplace. Seriously, why can't they work without smoking?

*Sigh*

Kenyang

Mein Gott!! All these food sitting on my table.

• Dominos Pizza
• Jesslyn Loaf Breads (Muesli and Cranberry)
• Sop Buntut
• Apple Pie
• KFC's Original Chicken and Perkedel

Hadoooooh... Ampuni aku, mom!

Bengal's Pedicuring Thoughts

After a pretty long while, I can have myself pampered again. Right at this moment, I'm having a pedicure and also hairstyling. If I had a longer time, I might have a facial, manicure, foot massage, ear therapy and also creambath. Wow, would that all be bliss! Mmmhhh...

Anyways, this Christmas, we don't visit my uncle's family as they are celebrating it out of town with the oldest child. I actually missed them. The last time I met them was months ago. He's my favorite uncle. He has 4 kids, all of em are married with children, and live in different countries. How cool is that? They're scattered across 3 continents. And I will visit them one by one when it's possible. *Yeah, you wish!*

I forgot to bring my current reading with me. I'm onto the mids of Middlesex, and I haven't touched it in nearly a month! Damn! I still have Eat, Pray and Love, and I actually can feel my body craving for more books. This is crazy! Why am I so careless about money when it comes to books? I could spend more than 300 Gs for one time spending in books. And I would not hesitate to swipe my credit cards when I was broke. Jeez...

Oh. My. Gosh! There's a guy! An attractive guy! I have a good sighting in front of me! Yaayy!!! I heart this beauty parlor. :D Hmm. He's about 35, light complexion, height about 175, and ALONE. I wonder, does that mean he's single, or the wife's busy, or might he be gay? Oh Lord, please no. Such a waste for such a goodlooking guy to be gay. Give us ladies a break! The guy's population is only one third of female population. And watching the trends now, almost half of the guys are gay and bisexual. And my family can't stop nagging as to why I'm still single? Well, duh! Talk to the hand, brotha!

Right. I woke up this morning at the usual hour, even earlier than my snooze alarm. Then I continue reading my favorite comic exactly where I left it last night. It was still lying open on my stomach. After the second comic of the day, Li'l Bangbag knocked at my door. She's already bather and looking so cute wearing a pastel polka dotted dress. Her dad breezed into my room also and laid down on the carpet then went straight back to sleep. Right then, Bengal had a cute hyperactive toddler jumping on her bed, and a hippopotamus sleeping nearby. What a sweet morning. Not long after that, Bangbag's mom yelling at us to have breakfast. Her infamous fried rice! Yaayy!! It was probably made of 4 liters of rice, and the three of us finished it all in one seating. No wonder we all look utterly sexy. *Wink*

I bought new DVDs yesterday after work. CrewCut patiently waited while I made my wide selections of movies. I knew he was bored, but what the hell. He could always leave me there. But I know he wouldn't. He lusts me to much for that! LOL. So, I started to watch those DVDs after breakfast this morning. The first disc was scratched. Shit. Then I put on The Rebound which is starred by Catherine Zeta-Jones and Justin Bartha. If I remember correctly, he was in National Treasure alongside Nicholas Cage and Diane Krueger. Not very tall. And was still too young then. But in The Rebound, I so heart him. I'm not oftenly attracted to cute or sweet looking guys. But I'm willing to make an exception for him. Uh, or I might only be infatuated with Aram Finkelstein, his character in that movie? Hey, I think I've grown more mature! I mean, I am actually able to differentiate to whom this attraction is, the actor or the character. Welldone, Bengal! Congratulation!

Hokay! Holy shitty crap! This pedicure is killing me! Oh Holy Spaghetti! It fuckin hurts! Please stop! No, go on! Oh please please make the pain disappear! Aaaaaarrrrrgh!!

Jeez, okay okay! I'll stop now. Damnit!

In a few moment, I'll be meeting Kucil n hubby for a sushi dinner. Hooorraaaay!!

Wishing all Christians a very Merry X'mas!
Have a joyful day...

Long Weekend After Effect

Capeknya liburan long weekend kemarin baru terasa hari ini. Kemarin mah enak2 aja, gak capek banget rasanya. Cuma rada pegel pas sampe rumah karena duduk berjam-jam di mobil. Tapi udah gitu doang. Gue masih semangat beraktivitas. Malahan sempet pergi lagi ke acara party temen kantor gue. Hehe. Tapi pagi ini, pagi ini gue bangun dengan badan yang terasa amat berat. Mata gak mau kebuka. Badan pegel. Heuhh. Mau ke kantor rasanya males banget. Udah di kantor rasanya sengsara banget. Baru merem dikit, udah terdengar teriakan boss manggil2 gue. Padahal mah manggil juga gak selalu mengenai kerjaan. Kadang malah cuma mau ngasih tau ada acara bagus di TV. Halah, boss. Tega banget luuuu...

Aaaarrrgh. gue capek! Pengen tidur... Tidur tiduur tiduuuuurrr...

Happy 1st Anniversary, Blog si Bidadari Bengal!

Today is exactly one year after I decided to become a real Bidadari Bengal. I wrote about my decision to do this, and you can read it here. The blog's anniversary is actually on 9th December. Lots of things had happened since then. My heartbreak, my being in love again, the loss of Mbul, the hookup with CrewCut, my friendship with Menik and Kucil, and stuffs.

And now it all force me to reminisce. About my story with Mbul. How I got pissed at him, how I fell in love with him, about his death, and how I'm still losing him. I miss him. So much. Sometimes I wonder what would happen if he were still alive now. We might still be together, or we might be enemies by now. Hahah. Whichever it might be, I miss you, Mbul.

Right, this post is supposed to be kinda festive, not gloomy. So,

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, DEAR BLOG
You're one of the best thing in my life.
XOXOXOXOXOXO

Mau nulis tentang apa ya? Oh iya, ada yang tau gak superhero Indonesia tuh siapa aja? Yang familiar bagi gue siy cuma segelintir doang. Itu juga cuma tau nama doang, gak tau bentuknya.

Asli dikit banget. Coba gue bikin list-nya:

• Gundala Putra Petir
• Denny Manusia Ikan
• Aquanus
• Pangeran Mlaar
• Gatot Kaca
• Godam

Siapa lagi ya? Hmm... Totally random thinking. Yang itu nama2 superhero yang ada di ingatan gue doang, gak pake search di Internet. Hehee.

Long Weekend!

Long weekend! Hoorraaay!!! After missing my last weekend because of works, now I get to enjoy my long weekend. Well, not fully, since I've got a translation project, but still, I don't need to go to work. I can do it on the beach. Yaayy!! 

This time, I'm taking Menik with me. A beach holiday will do her some good. It would be even better if I could take Kucil and Mama too. Maybe next time. :) 

Oh man. Can't barely wait for the sand on the beach, the lagoon, the sea, skin diving, banana boat, picnic cruise, oh man oh man... Beach, luv, I'm coming. Mwaaaa...

Bidadari Bengal's Men List

Gue kemaren sempet nemu postingan blog yang alamatnya sendiri gue lupa, tentang buku berisi nama2 cowok yang dia suka. Nah, gue jadi inget juga nih, ehm, malu siy, tapi gue juga punya loh buku kayak gitu. Hihi. Sejak gue SD, gue punya 1 buku yang isinya nama2 cowok yang menurut gue cakep, dan jumlah nama yang tercatat disitu sampe ada 500 nama lebih!! Pertama punya buku itu waktu gue kelas 5 SD, dan terakhir gue ngeliat wujud buku itu kalo gak salah waktu gue masuk SMU. Udah gak tau kemana itu buku, mungkin udah kebakar, mungkin udah jadi kertas pembungkus sayur, ato udah jadi bahan ketawaan siapapun penemunya. Buku tulis biasa merek AA, disampul coklat dan dibungkus plastik, begitu dibuka ada tulisan: 

"Property of Bidadari Bengal

Daftar Calon Bapak Anak-anaknya Bidadari Bengal"

Ternyata dari kecil gue tu emang udah parah yak? Gila laki! Hahahahahahh... Nomor 1 adalah pastinya Johnny Depp. I've been in love with him since the first time I watched him in 21 Jump Street. Sejak gue punya buku ini, gue jadi detail banget kalo nonton film dan serial TV. Ada yang cakep dikit, langsung gue cari namanya. Biarpun perannya cuma kecil banget ato numpang lewat. Yang ada itu film gak gue tonton dengan konsen karena gak sabar nungguin credit titlenya. Demi mencari nama sang cowok yang menarik mata si Bidadari Bengal kecil. Gue bisa loh nyewa laser disc (masih jamannya laser disc!! gilee...) dan mencari nama aktor yang memerankan, misalnya: Pizza Delivery Man, ato Beach Volley Player #3. Najis banget ih gue ternyata waktu kecil! Najong, sumpah! 

Bisa dibilang gue jadi ngikutin perjalanan aktor itu mulai dari awal karir mereka sebagai figuran sampe jadi pemeran utama. Gue yakin, pasti udah jarang yang masih tau ato inget siapa itu Dalton James, River Phoenix, Sean Astin (sebelum dia main di LOTR). Apalagi William McNamara (gue jatuh cinta abis sama niy cowok gara2 liat serialnya kalo gak salah di TVRI. Judulnya lupa, pokoknya lokasinya di Hawaii. Sempet nongol di Dumb & Dumber kalo gak salah), sama Dan Gauthier (siapa hayooo?)

In a disorderly order, here are some of my more than 500 husband-to-be (gubrak!):

Johnny Depp

Yang ini mah gak perlu diterangin lagi. Ailapyu Kang Dedeeepp...

Richard Grieco

Officer Dennis Booker yang akhirnya dibuatin serial spin off dari 21 Jump Street, Booker. Aww, this guy is hot!

William McNamara

Namanya inget, tapi filmnya lupa. Pokoknya settingnya di Hawaii deh.

Sean Connery

Tuh, yang tua aja gue doyan. Uh...

Sting

Gue rasa cewek yang gak suka Sting tu bukan cewek sejati. Muka keren, suara maut, lagu enak. Apa lagi yang kurang, coba? 

Ken Olandt

Dia yang memperkosa Officer Judy Hoffs kalo gak salah. Ato yang nolong dia ya? Pokoknya dia sempet jadi bintang tamu deh di 21 Jump Street.

Dan Gauthier

Pilot helikopter di Tour of Duty. Oh mamak... Cakep kali makhluk ini dahulu. Hingga kini pun. Halah...

Dalton James

Makhluk keren yang akhirnya dapet peran lumayan di Father of The Bride. Trus ilang lagi deh. Hehe.

Jan Michael Vincent

Lt Hawk di Airwolf. Cita2 gue jadi pilot Airwolf loh dulu. Keren banget kan. Turbo on! Whoooossshhhh... 

Yah demikian laporan memori sekilas si Bidadari Bengal yang haus lelaki. Kalo dulu gue suka cowok yang cakep dan manis dan imut, sekarang mah gue sukanya yang cakep tapi manly. Clive Owen, Daniel Craig, CrewCut. Ihiks... Tapi kalo diliat2 lagi, sebenernya selera gue cukup konsisten ya. Cowok2 diatas itu gak semuanya imut banget kan? :p

Sorry, Menik

Just read my best friend's blog. So sorry if I had stepped over the limit that time with my joke. Just tell me anytime you feel like it, cuy! It's your right. And, peace yo. :)

So, this is officially my apology to you. Please don't sue me like those infotainment guys about to do to Luna Maya ya cuy! :D

Mwaaa...

Luna Maya vs Infotainment

Semalem Luna Maya memaki wartawan melalui account Twitternya. Gue males cari yamg verbatim, tapi lebih kurang isinya begini:

'Infotemnt derajatnya lebih HINA dr pd PELACUR, PEMBUNUH!!!may ur soul burn in hell!'

Setelah itu kabarnya dia sempet minta maaf melalui Twitter juga, lalu accountnya ditutup. Sayang aja sampe kejadian hal seperti ini. Tapi secara manusiawi hal ini wajar banget. Siapa sih yang suka hidupnya diburu-buru oleh pekerja infotainment? Dikorek kehidupannya, dicari aibnya, lalu kalau gak dapat apa2, dipancing sehingga berbuat salah.

Gue jadi ingin ikut membahas tentang hal ini. Menurut diri gue pribadi, sah-sah aja Lunmay marah seperti itu. Mau artis atau bukan, siapa siy yang mau setiap saat dikejar pekerja infotainment dan dikorek-korek kehidupan pribadinya? Karena gue sangat menghargai privasi, gue mengerti perasaan Lunmay. Gak cuma Lunmay sih, gue yakin kebanyakan public figure juga gak sukalah kalau kehidupan pribadinya dikorek secara paksa. Memang Lunmay agak kelewatan juga dengan kata-kata dalam twitnya, namun at least itu ungkapan dia yang jujur dari dalam hati. Baru dia aja yang jujur menampar pekerja infotainment dengan sikapnya. Sementara artis yang lain masih takut karena memang risikonya sangat besar. Yah, seperti apa yang dihadapi Lunmay saat ini deh.

Seharusnya para pekerja infotainment gak perlu ngotot meliput para artis itu sampai malah mengganggu gerakan mereka. Karena kekasaran dan tingkah mereka yang memang tidak simpatik makanya banyak artis jadi gak suka dengan infotainment. Setiap ada celah, mereka mengerubungi artis dan memaksa mereka untuk memberikan statement. Memancing dan menjebak agar para artis tersandung atau salah ucap, lalu hal itu menjadi bumerang bagi mereka.

Gue yakin juga bahwa gak semua pekerja infotainment memiliki sikap yang buruk seperti itu. Tapi itu juga jarang pastinya. Karena selama ini yang kita lihat dari program2 yang ditayangkan, isinya melulu tentang keburukan dan kekurangan para artis. Perceraian, perselingkuhan, penipuan, ganti pacar, perseteruan, dll dsb dst. Tidak banyak isi liputan yang bermutu, apakah itu mengenai prestasi para artis dan semacamnya. Ada tentang prestasi dan kelebihan, dan stop pada 1 kali penayangan. Sementara mengenai keburukan pasti diblow up, dibahas begitu mendalam hingga berkesan memaksa dan mencari-cari, seolah-olah misalnya perceraian sang artis adalah merupakan berita yang sangat penting seperti penyelewengan uang negara. Tayangan2 infotainment seperti Insert (Pagi, Siang, Sore, et dah!!), Silet, Cek & Ricek, Kroscek, mungkin menghibur bagi sebagian orang, tetapi tidak membuat pemirsanya manjadi pintar dan kritis. Justru membodohi dan membuka aib orang.

Dengan sebegitu banyaknya tayangan infotainment yang tayang setiap hari, seolah mengungkap keburukan dan kekurangan orang lalu memblow-upnya adalah hal yang wajar. Aib orang menjadi santapan sehari-hari. Padahal menurut ajaran agama (padahal gue juga bukan orang yang taat banget sih, tapi gak munafik juga cuy), membuka aib orang adalah hal yang dosa. Lalu dimana tanggung jawab moral para pekerja infotainment itu? Dulu sebelum ada infotainment rasanya gak ada masalah kok. Malah beritanya lebih bermutu karena isinya yang mengenai sisi positif para public figure, sehingga justru memotivasi masyarakat. Menjadi inspirasi bagi masyarakat untuk menjadi lebih baik seperti idolanya, walaupun dalam kehidupan sebenarnya belum tentu mereka adalah makhluk sempurna. Sekarang? Anak2 kecil jadi tau tentang kawin cerai artis, selingkuh itu indah, dll. Gimana gak rusak bangsa kita?

Kesannya gue jadi memburuk-burukkan infotainment ya? Gue suka juga nonton kalo sempat. Tapi jujur, pada saat ada liputan mengenai keburukan para artis itu, gue justru merasa risih dan sebel. Bukan hal yang pantas untuk ditonton. Kadang gue kasihan pada artis2 itu. Tapi mungkin gue seharusnya lebih kasihan pada para pekerja infotainment yang mencari makan dengan cara seperti itu ya? Menurut mereka, karena infotainmentlah maka para artis menjadi besar dan terkenal. Kalo menurut gue, karena prestasinyalah para artis jadi besar dan terkenal. Masyarakat yang menilai. Infotainment berusaha membentuk opini masyarakat, tapi dengan terjadinya hal seperti ini bisa2 masyarakat malah jadi antipati. Jangan salah, banyak banget loh orang yang gak suka infotainment. Tayangan gak mutu dan gak mendidik. Dan cara mereka mencari 'berita' juga sama sekali gak menarik simpati, baik dari artis maupun dari pemirsa. Lama2 makin jijik aja deh.

Alangkah bijaksananya bila para artis bersaing dengan cara positif untuk menjadi populer, aranya ya dengan berprestasi. Dan alangkah bijaksananya bila infotainment pun mulai mengurangi secara perlahan bentuk tayangan2 mereka yang melulu mengenai kebobrokan artis. Menjadilah lebih positif! Supaya bangsa kita tercinta menjadi bangsa yang pintar dan kritis. Kalau terus seperti ini, sayang juga kan. Bisa aja ada artis yang prestasinya bagus tapi kehidupan pribadinya kurang ok, jadi terjegal. Kehidupan pribadi orang lain bukanlah konsumsi publik. Mau bilang public figure, tapi itu lebih karena prestasinya. Dibilang risiko jadi seleb? Oh please... Pelanggaran privasi sudah terlalu lama berlangsung terus-menerus sehingga masyarakat yang dibodohi menganggap ini adalah hal yang wajar, hal yang memang semestinya. Padahal salah kaprah banget tuh! Bisa-bisanya pekerja infotainment dan jurnalis2 kacangan pencari sensasi aja sampe terjadi hal seperti ini. Pada dasarnya manusia juga memiliki sifat pemangsa. Ada korban, santap! Tapi manusia juga makhluk bernalar kan. Memiliki akal budi, sehingga bisa membedakan mana yang baik dan yang tidak baik.

Ini adalah soal pilihan. Merusak diri sendiri adalah pilihan. Tapi merusak orang lain adalah kejahatan! That's it from Bidadari Bengal. Over and out...

Klien Super Kampret, Biarpun Seru Juga...

HUAAAAAHHHHH!!!! KELAR JUGA KERJAAN KAMPRET INI!! Legaaaaa...

Alhamdulillah.

Fiuhh!!

Kliennya mintanya banyak banget, dan melewati perjanjian. Bikin emosi banget. Tapi seru juga, daripada bengong. At least I have something to curse. Hehe. Guess I am a masochist. This pressure kind of makes me feel more alive. Wheew, I am a freak!

I'm officially deg-degan. Bukan karena liat cowok cakep, biarpun emang bener ada 1 di depan mata, tapi deg-degan takut hasil kerjaan kita masih ada yang kurang. Udah berapa kali revisi, sampai melebihi jatah yang udah dijanjiin. Editor gue pada gak tidur seminggu. Gue hampir seminggu juga gak tidur. Untungnya masih sempet gaul juga siy semalem sama Menik dan Kucil. Hehee. Ini aja udah dimundurin 2 hari dari deadline, bukan karena kita yang sala, tapi karena kliennya yang nambah-nambah konten dengan cueknya tanpa mikirin bakal makan waktu sampe seberapa. Tapi demi sepiring nasi warteg dan sekarung berlian, kita jabanin aja deh. Hiks.

Semalem pulang jam 11an, trus tadi pagi jam 9 udah ditelpon Ryan nanyain gue bakal ketempat dia ato gak. Ya iyalah, masa mau langsung di-wrap tanpa gue lihat dulu hasilnya gimana... Kalo ada yang masih kurang, mampus aja kita. Hhhhhh... Akhirnya janjian dateng jam 12 dan gue didaulat untuk bawain makan siang. Anything deh asal kerjaan kita cepet kelar dan beres, guys. Bener aja, pas gue sampe, mereka masih ngedit, dan gue lihat masih ada yang kelewat sama mereka, belum diedit. Wuiiih... Nyariiisss...

Gue mantengin terus mereka pas ngedit, sambil facebookan juga siy, qiqiqiqiqi... Sambil bentar-bentar diganggu BB messages dari Boss Lady yang panikan kurang ini itu, padahal dia sendiri sebenernya juga gak paham dengan isi presentasi yang kita buat ini. Gue n Ryan udah bete abis mukanya asal ada bunyi telpon ato message. Sumpah, sore yang sangat stressful. Emang siy Boss Lady selalu gitu. Panik yang tidak perlu, gak perlu panik juga nanti semua beres. Dan yang gue gak nyangka, Ryan yang notabene orang luar pun bete dan protes ke gue tentang ibu bos yang satu itu. Wkwkwkwkwkwk... Semua orang siy protes sebenernya. Huahahahahaaa...

Thank Almighty, sekarang kita udah masuk tahap akhir. Tinggal rendering dan burning, then I have to bring these stuffs to our clint's home. OUR CLIENT'S HOME. WHICH IS IN WEST JAVA... HOW KAMPRET IS THAT????? Cita-cita pengen nonton di bioskop, ato at least duduk-duduk ngopi di Starbucks kembali hanya menjadi angan belaka. Shoot!! When this is finished, I'm gonna take some time for myself. I spent this whole weekend practically working. Only slipping in Menik and Kucil for a few hours yesterday. Oh well, I think I'm gonna swim for a whole day when it's all finished. :p

Special gratitude to my editors who haven't been home for a week. Mang enak, cuuy??? Qiqiqiqiqiqi... Tau deh lo sekarang gimana gue waktu event, gak pulang-pulang. Baru gini aja lo ngeluhnya udah kayak anak mama. Masa kalah sama cewek? :p Semangat! You guys are cool. 

Gonna wait for dinner while waiting for the rendering to be done. Tataa...

12122009, 06:08 pm

Again, at Starbucks. Menik is here, Kucil is still on the way. Listening to Menik telling about her feelings to Duypret. That asshole. I should kill him if he tries to get near her again! Prick! He hurts Menik so many times. He makes her cry over and over again. She knows it's an unhealthy relationship. But after last night, I really wish she would delete him from her life. No more anything about him. Turn a new leaf, cuy. Get better soon. And you, Duypret! You can just screw your own ass to the hell and don't come back!

Now the rant is over, let's talk about my days. On Thursday, there's an event. A big one in Ritz-Carlton, Pacific Place. It was crazy. There was no brief. We had to go by feeling. All were improvised. The rundown was revised all the time, even when the activity was going on. Nuts! And we didn't have any chance to sit. There were no seats in our booth! Damn! It's officially the shittiest event I was ever in. I can still feel my feet swollen. I need a reflexology badly.

Yesterday, I spent almost all day at Ryan's again. Revision, revision. Oh why don't you guys just accept it as it is? The presentation was already more than good. The flow was already correct. Why did you have to change it?? Aaaaarrrrrgh!!! Boss Lady was in such a state of panic that she wanted me to be at Ryan's until this thing is finished. I had too earn my keep, so I went. And let him did his work unsupervised while I caught my long lost sleep. He's good, didn't need me there. But thank God he understood how Boss Lady was like. He and the guys just laughed when I told them that I was only there to sleep. :p

The appointment was at 5 pm and we had to bring the presentation to be previewed by the client and my boss. At 4.30, we had just started rendering. At 5.30 we decided to burn it into the disk in the taxi. At 6.15 the client said that they were still in North Jakarta area. THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US EARLIER SO WE DIDN'T NEED TO RUSH LIKE THAT, KIND FREAKIN SIRS??? Dan mereka tiba jam 8.30 aja loh! Baek banget yak? Pengertian yang luar biasa... Ckckckk... And the meeting lasted at about 11 pm. Cantik dah. Pada ngerjain gue aja lo semua!

Today, again, I went to Ryan's. No more comments from him seeing me there. I know, bro. I know how it feels to crave holiday. So I just give them the rest of the data and told them I was going. They were kinda surprised at first. "It's raining, Bengal. You can leave later." Aaww. How sweet. But I just wanted to go somewhere quiet and forget about works. Ryan gave a parting shot, " Bagus, Ngal. Get a life. Don't work all the time." Hello, speak for yourself, bro! I know you're even busier than me. Hahahaaa. Welcome to real life.

So now, here I am. At Starbucks, Menik is pouring her heart out, waiting for Kucil, jazzy melody in the background, and snacking on Quiches. This is my favorite moment, when I don't have to work, and just be with my best friends. Doing nothing, sometimes even not talking. But it's a comfortable silence. We're here for each other, yet still have our own life. I'm cherishing it. Life is beautiful indeed. Thank you for small blessings. Thank you, God. Alhamdulillah.

Ngendon seharian di kantor Ryan. Dari tadi pagi sampe sekarang jam 9 malem, dan kayaknya masih lanjut terus niy. Kesian editornya. Mangap yak... Abis udah diuber deadline siy. Belum lagi kalo ntar ada revisi, kacau deh.

Makan siang sama Ryan dan Menik di resto Makassar gitu. Tadinya gue pengen pesen ribsnya, tapi pas sampe sana, mendadak ngerubah pesenan jadi coto. Udah lama gak makan coto plus buras. Trus Menik yang sampe duluan disana udah duluan pesen es isang ijo. Sadeeess... Gue kenalin Ryan ke Menik. Gak tau niy, si Menik gak terlihat berminat, padahal Ryan tu keren loh. Ganteng! *Ajiiib, tu bahasanya...* Cuman ya emang mungkin masalahnya karena baru kenal. Dan kayaknya Menik langsung veto karena dia udah jelas berondong. Wkwkwkwkwk...

Anyways, Menik uda ngajuin surat resign ke kantornya. Dia dapet tawaran dari Wendy, temen kita dulu di NtarTV. Dan dia ingin Menik langsung mulai. Gila aja kan. Lebih kurang seperti waktu gue cabut dari NtarTV dulu untuk pindah ke salah satu research company. Gue dateng interview hari ini, dia langsung nyuruh gue resign dan mulai minggu depannya. Dimana-mana juga rata-rata perusahaan minta 1 bulan setelah ngajuin resign baru kita bener-bener keluar. Hahahaaa... Well, selamat menempuh pekerjaan baru, cuy. :)

Sekarang udah jam 9 leat. Udah laper banget. Mau makan dulu ah. Baru kerja lagi. Begadang siy kayaknya, jadi butuh energi ekstra. Msti makan 2 porsi deh. Twew...

Rihanna - Russian Roulette

Russian Roulette - Rihanna

Take a Breathe, take a deal
Calm yourself, he says to me
If you play, you play for keeps
Take the gun and count to three
You're sweating now, moving slow
No time to think, my turn to go

And you can see my heart.. beating
You can see it through my chest
I'm terrified, but I'm not leaving
I know that I must pass this test
So just pull the trigger.....

Say a prayer to yourself
He says close your eyes, sometimes it helps
And then I get a scary thought
That he's here, means he's never lost

And you can see my heart.. beating
You can see it through my chest
I'm terrified, but I'm not leaving
I know that I must pass this test
So just pull the trigger.....

As my life flashes before my eyes
I'm wondering if I will ever see another sunrise
So many won't get the chance to say goodbye
But it's to late to think of the value of my life

And you can see my heart.. beating
You can see it through my chest
I'm terrified, but I'm not leaving
I know that I must pass this test
So just pull the trigger.....

Rihanna's new song. Cool beat. But the lyrics, well, sounds kinda like a fatalist, eh?

Duypret Tai!

Yesterday was the climax of Menik's heartbreak. At least I hope so. I don't want her to stoop lower than this. This should be her turning point. Delete him from your life, cuy. In this case, Kunti's strategy is an effective one. Hehee... He disappointed her again. And in a very not nice way. Laki gak tau diri!

She arrived, went to our table, and cried. only that is enough for making me crackling my knuckles and give my sweet fist to his face, hard. What an evening. That guy needs to be give a lesson for treating her like that. Inhumanly, unfeelingly, and kurangajarly. Mampus aja lo, laki pembawa sial!!

12062009, 03:41 pm

Back at the same spot as last night, this time I'm alone. Menik is on a meeting with her prospective boss who is also our friend back when we all still in NtarTipi. Kucil is on her way here. Long time no hangout all three of us. :)

Anyways, I read my previous posting and came out with the fact that the current guy is only good for sex, not wit. Before I'm with him, I never thought that it would be a problem. But oh well, let me just use him while I can. After all, it's a mutual symbiosm, right? We both get something out of this thing.

I searched for sex blogs and found Zoe Margolis' blog, and the controversy that surrounded her outed previously secret identity. Linked to other blogs and articles, then I found about NightJack and his also outed identity. As the result, his blog had been deleted. The culprit for both cases was The Times, a British paper. I just can't get it in my mind, why would those so called journalists do such things. Nothing got out of it but unnecessary troubles, wrecked lives of the bloggers, and so on. Did they think it's great journalism? I guess they had, and still have, illusions of being famous journalist, and in time would make them high profiled such as Christiane Ammanpour and Riz Khan. Teehee. No wisdoms, only trashy thinking. Shame on you, Brit papers!

Right, enough on that subject. A billion critics won't be able to change their misled way of thinking. Instead, let's enjoy coffee and some bloghopping. Wishing for Kucil and Menik to come soon. Gonna watch a movie, and who knows? Maybe steak for dinner?

Bengal and CrewCut in Early December

Mulai berasa garing lagi. Hidup datar gitu. Almost always swamped with work. Can't barely meet with the gals. And no sex. Tweuww...

Been stucked with CrewCut these past few months. The appeal has started to wear off. At least from my side. I'm not as attracted to him as before. So he's the most appealing guy in the office. But I don't know. He sounded stupid sometimes. And always makes me sort of disgusted by his written language, be it SMS or emails. Yaiks. I can't stand illiterate or intellectual people. At least, for a partner, even if it's for physical things, I still expect some witty remarks or enough knowledge on some worldly and popular stuff. Not being arrogant, stupid as I am, he's still not a match intellectually. Damn! 

Ah well, he's not totally useless. At least I can save my transport money. Hehee. I'm a bitch. Some kind of slut, even. But hey, a girl needs to survive, right? One way or another, I get some physical, and an extra saving on the side. *Wink*

12052009, 08:10 pm

Sekarang gue niatin untuk menulis sesuatu yang memiliki arti, bukan sekadar sampah seperti sebelumnya. Gak yakin bakal berhasil siy, tapi yaaah, usaha boleh dong? Hehe...

At the moment, I'm at my favorite Starbuck outlet with Menik. I sort of kidnapped her this morning and dragged her to my office. I had to do some work there, which turned out to be no work at all. Damn! I went for nothing. But okay, I decided to harvest my crops on Farmville while listening to her rambling about her recent problems. It's sad, really. I don't think I should tell about her problems here. But I do sympathize with her. I wish everything will turn out alright for her soon. Hey, Menik. As Kucil always say, you're not alone. We'll try try to help you whenever we can. That goes without saying, actually. But I just want to assure you of that. :D

Again, we're really worried about Mama. She wouldn't tell us anything. She said she needed some time alone. It's kinda making our imaginations go overdrive. At first, I thought it has something to do with her ex, but she said it's the least of her problems. Menik thinks that maybe Mama's current boyfriend had passed away, but I don't think so. Well, he's terminally ill, but I'm pretty sure it's not his time yet. Kucil hasn't voiced her prediction, yet. Mama, we're all with you. Stay strong, Ma. Whatever it is, however hard it is, you'll get through this sooner or later. It might not feel like it, now. But it will.

On a better note, I copied some bokep stuff from one of my client's external hard disk! Wkwkwkwkwk!! I'm bad, I know. But I can't help it. He lent the hard disk for me to get some much needed data on our recent project. And those files now circulated in my division. Bad girl! :p

This place is nicely unpacked. There are still a few empty tables. And most of the customers have been here for hours. Such as yours truly. There's this cute Japanese guy. He's always at the same corner, EVERYTIME I come here, he's always there. He has a new notebook. It looks slimmer than his usual one. And he also looks better today. Heheheee... I wonder if he's taken yet? Stealing looks at him. And he seems oblivious. To everything. To everyone. Is he autistic? I know he can speak because he takes calls now and then. Hmm, maybe he's the son of the adjacent Japanese grocery store owner? If he's a student, he never seems to be doing any research. No text books around. If he's a business owner, no smartphones around. No BlackBerries nor iPhones. He's mysterious. Always alone at the same place everyday. Doesn't care weekdays or weekends. And one additional problem: I think he's younger. Hehee... Don't want any berondong at the moment. But a bag of pop corns is always welcomed. :D

Later, babe. Let's meet in our entwined dreams tonight. And have explosive sex. I can be your Miyabi, Sensei. Can't wait. ;) 

*Menik, he's mine. Stay the fuck away from him!*

The Cutest Couple 2009

Love this pic!

What a cute couple. ;)

Menunggu 12042009

Hari ini judulnya menunggu. Menunggu hasil revisi outline. Menunggu tim produksinya dateng. Menunggu sang copywriter ngelarin editing narasi. Menunggu klien datang. Menunggu masakan di Cafe World jadi. Dan menunggu tanaman di Farmville untuk panen. Hehee...

Menunggu itu emang bener2 hal yang sangat menyebalkan. Tapi itu kalo gak ada hal lain yang bisa dilakukan. Kalo sekarang sih gue punya beberapa option sambil menunggu:

1. Ngemil
2. Baca buku, eh gak deng. Hari ini gue gak bawa
3. Denger lagu
4. Browsing bokep (wadefak??)
5. Main Farmville (udah dipanenin sama CrewCut)
6. Main Cafe World (udah dimasakin sama CrewCut)
7. Bloghopping (mmh, gak mood juga siy)
8. Ngeblog (...)
9. etc.

Yaaah, mumpung bisa dan situsi aman, ya gue ngeblog aja deh. Cihuy! Blog gue emang akhir2 ini isinya sampah gak penting banget.Dan sekarang juga tetep nyampah siy. Tapi lumayanlah, nambah2 jumlah postingan. 

Udah lama rasanya gue gak ngumpul sama Kucil, Menik, n Mama. Tiap kali mau ketemu, ada aja halangan. Salah satu dari kita gak bisalah, jalanan super macet n stuck n bikin kita immobile lah, gak ada duitlah (klasik, hehee...), dll. Moga2 siy ntar malem bisa ketemu. Tapi belum ada sounding apa2 nih. Wooooy cuuuyz, pada kemana kalian?? Anyway, rada kuatir tentang Mama niy. Kayaknya Mama lagi ada masalah. Waktu chat di BBM kemarin, she said she's not okay. Either it has something to do with her getting married ex, or office matter. I hope she'll be okay soon. Amen.

Menik lagi sibuk dengan pemulihan diri pasca Duypret. Kataya siy udah gak labil lagi. Eeeehh, tau2 malah ada masalah dengan kantornya. Bukan dia bikin masalah ato apa, tapi kayaknya mau ada pengurangan karyawan gitu. I wish the best for you, cuy. Don't give up, yeah?

Dan Kucil, sang nyonya yang lagi dalam proses bikin anak. Xixixi... Baru sembuh dari demam katanya. Moga2 gue cepet dapet ponakan baru. Buat temen mainnya Li'l Bangbag. Must be so cute. Iiiih, jadi gak sabar. Cuy, cepetan deh bikin anak. Kalo butuh bantuan jurus, ntar gue dampingin deh pas lo ML ma laki lo. :p

11302009, 06:45 pm

Been having no freedom to write. Or more like it: no time. Dammit! I miss writing, even if I don't know what to write. Even if I had no ideas whatsoever. But this blog has been keeping me sane as well as creative. At least until a few months ago. Fudge!!

On a worse note, I just read my friends' twits that there was a death in Grand Indonesia. A young woman fell off 5 floors and struck an elevator handlebar, broke her bones, and died. The news hasn't been fixed yet. Some said that it was a suicide, and another said that it was an accident. But the sad thing if this was an accident is it was said that she was taking pictures with her friends when she lost her balance and fell down. Shit! May her rest in peace. Amen.

So folks, try to be less narcissistic next time, yeah? Love your life better.

Long Weekend 11272009

This week was highlighted by the Idul Adha which is one of the Moslem's great day in which they made a sacrifice. In this case, lamb or cow. But that's not what I wanted to tell you about. This posting is about my holiday with my family. All of us went. It's not often that we could all go together. We had a great time. Three days in a beach resort. What else could I ask for? Thank you so much, dearest family. I love you!

Right after the Eid prayer, we departed Jakarta toward Anyer. We needed 2 cars as there were 7 of us. And A huge load of baggage. I assure you, nothing emotional about the baggage. :D

As soon as we arrived, we unpacked, had lunch, then I changed into my swimsuit. Time to jump into the pool! Woohooo!!! Frolicking in the water, splashing, playing with Li'l Bangbag, such a lovely start of this holiday. Had seafood barbeque for dinner. And an early night.

My daily schedule is: breakfast, swimming, lunch, swimming, dinner, sleep. And fitting Bangbag into the schedule whenever possible. I love that kid. Such a cute little munchkin. Oh dear. Please stay cute forever, kid.

Can't seem to pull myself away from the water for long. It's either the beach or the pool. Always the first to jump in, and the last to climb out. Bidadari Bengal is a mermaid. Or a dolphin? Or a dugong? Teehee. Bengal is first and foremost a water creature. And she has nothing more to say at the moment. But a lot of good memories. *Smiling like a stupid dugong*

Huh

At last, I could be freed from this hostage situation. Too extreme, huh? It's just that I was too swamped with works. Swamped with events and pitchings. Almost none of them went well. How shitty is that?

Stuck n Go

Wow, I'm blogging again! It feels great! This morning, I couldn't access blogspot from my office due to the miscommunication between the Depkominfo and First Media or whatever regarding a banned blog. As the result, blogspot couldn't be accessed from PCs using First Media as the ISP. Moron!! 

It's been kinda a long time. I haven't written anything of essence. Even if I wrote, it's just as a passing time, or something I tried to do so there are as many postings I could make. But still, it's nothing. And for the fact that my desk is adjacent to CrewCut's and Gramp's desks at the office, I cannot write freely. Restrictions suck!! Damn, he's coming!

3 hours later:

At the moment, I'm at Starbucks Melawai, doing a project with Frigie. We're stuck on ideas and needed a new ambience. So we decided to go to this place, and yeah, the gear started turning again. And she just left to go to her campus. And CrewCut is coming in 10 minutes. And I still don't know what to blog. Aaaaaarrrrgh!!!

More Brains, Please!

Just got back home last night after working 6 days straight. Slept no more than 2 hours every night. I'm drained, physically and mentally. Totally in need of a recharging, even after Bali. *Sigh*.

Worked on a client's company gathering in Puncak, one booklet editing which materials were all last minute and always revised, and 3 upcoming pitchings. It's official, I need 8 extra brains.

Kurang Otak

Weleh... Banyak perintah dari bos yang berbeda-beda. Hihii... Yang satu nyuruh gue begini, yang satu lagi nyuruh gue begitu, yang satu lagi gak pernah keliatan batang hidungnya, tapi nelpon mulu nyuruh gue begini begitu. Tangan gue siy udah cukup 2, tapi otaknya kayaknya butuh tambahan 7 lagi deh. Hiks... Secaraaa, debit otak gue kan rendah. Kamfreeet...

Eric Gadd - Permission To Love

11102009, 05:48 pm

Hari yang gak produktif. Kemaren gara2 mati lampu. Hari ini gara2 gak ada kerjaan yang jelas. Pas lagi gak ada kerjaan aja, listrik menyaa dengan tenang dan kita jadi sibuk berfacebook ria. Pas ada kerjaan, mati aja tu listrik. Gak bisa liat orang makan gaji halal apa ya? Hehee...

Tapi hikmah mati lampu adalah gue bisa baca novel2 simpenan gue di kantor dengan tenang. Gak perlu ngerasa gak enak kalo si bos lewat, secara semua jadi gak bisa kerja juga kalo gak ada komputer. Mau pindah ke Starbucks demi wifi, gak dikasih. Yaaah, bukan salah gue dong kalo gak kerja??

Udah beberapa hari si bos ribut nyuruh kita ngelarin suatu proyek, at least mulai brainstorming. Tapi gak ada brief yang jelas tentang apa proyek yang mereka ributin ini. Trus pas kita minta, mereka ada ajalah musti pergi kemana, ato lagi ada janji sama orang. Yaaaa, bos. Trus kita musti ngapain lagi dong? Facebookan lagi deh. Tweww...

Banci Goblooook!!

Enough with the drama, you asshole!! Get lost! Dasar banci!

*No offense to all bancis and bencongs of this world loh. Just this one.

Ngarep Bali

Nyawa gue masih ketinggalan di Bali. Masih belum puas ngabisin waktu disana. Berdoa berdoa berdoa bisa cepet balik kesana dengan uang yang banyak dan waktu yang cukup. Amiiin...

Duyung Bengal atau Dakocan Bengal?

Tepar abis. Kemarin baru pulang dari Bali sama teman2 sekantor. Dari sebelum berangkat aja udah begadang, apalagi disana. Baru bisa tidur bener tuh tadi malem di rumah. Itu aja pas gue sampe rumah ternyata mati lampu. Sialan! Tapi secara gue jalannya aja udah sambil tidur, ya mati lampu itu gak ngefek juga sama kadar kepulasan gue. Hehee. Pas tadi pagi bangun lampunya udah nyala. Badan rasanya ancur2an. Mata masih susah ngebuka. Dan tidak ada libur. Langsung masuk kerja lagi hari ini. Hajar terus, cuuuy...

Mungkin pada bingung kali kok pulang liburan malah tepar, bukannya seger. Masalahnya, disana tuh kita kemana2 naik motor cuy! Touring 4 hari naik motor. Kalo gak lagi gak di motor, gue pastinya berada di dalam air dong. Kan gue Duyung Bengal. Hihihi... Yaaa, kalo badannya jadi gak keruan gini rasanya, ya maklum aja. Dan karena semua orang sekantor pada tepar juga, berarti gue sebenernya lebih fit dari mereka, soalnya mereka pada takut air. Gak ada yang berenang. Kerjanya cuma belanja dan duduk2. Hohohoo... Sementara gue dan CrewCut pasti berenang tiap hari. Abis touring hari pertama aja kita langsung ganti baju berenang dan nyemplung ke kolam. Padahal udah jam 11 malem tuh. Airnya enak banget, anget. Hari kedua gue bangun pagi nyemplung lagi sebelum sarapan. Balik touring kita udah pindah hotel, dan nyemplung lagi deh. Besoknya ke Dreamland, nyemplung dong. Pulang dari Dreamland juga masih nyemplung di kolam hotel. The only downside is: gue jadi kayak dakocan sekarang. Item banget. Belang2 deh. Hiks...

Hari terakhir gue habiskan di Kuta. Dari subuh udah nongkrong di pantai sama CrewCut. Anginnya, airnya, ombaknya... Mantaaff... Karena lagi bulan purnama, air pasangnya dan ombaknya tinggi banget. Gue udah gak keluar dari air deh. I'm so in my element! I love being in the water. Apalagi waktu di Klapa, Dreamland. Anjing! View-nya gak nahaan. Allah Maha Besar.

I swear I'll go back there one day. And with my closest friends too. Free time all around. We'll totally have fun there. Yeaah!!

Arrived in Bali

Bidadari Bengal is on the loose in Bali! Ohohoho... Gak sabar ngubek2 Bali dan yang pasti have fun disini. Bakal touring rame2 naik motor. Yang penting buat gue cuma gue kepengen di dalem air! Mo berenang, di kolam dan di pantai. Pengen ngabisin waktu sebebas2nya siy sebenarnya. Tapi kalo yang kayak gini musti pergi sendiri deh kayaknya. Gak rame2 dan tergantung rundown gini. Tapi yang penting bisa bikin memori disini ya. Horeee...

Tampur Gak Penting

Akhirnya jadi juga pergi ke Tampur. Mana gak sempet ke ATM, jadi gak bawa duit juga. Tapi bagus deh, jadi duitnya masih ada buat ntar di Bali. Di Tampur gue cuma beli sendal jepit sama kacamata hitam. Keren2 pula. Dan total cuma keluar duit 40 ribu perak. Itu juga musti ditambahain goceng sama Boss Man karena duit gue kurang. Hihii...

Sebenernya siy gue cuma mau nemenin Boty ke Tampur karena dua mau cari sendal GEOX buat dipake jalan ke Bali. Eh, si Boss denger. Dia langsung berisik minta ikut. Huahaha. Dasar bos sableng. Lumayan puas keliling Tampur biarpun gak bawa uang. :D

Inglourious Basterds

This one is a krazy movie. No wonder as Quentin Tarantino was the director. One really weird guy. I don't want to tell you the plot. But there's a scene that I like most. he scene where the Basterds had to disguise as Italians. Wkwkwkwk... Watch that one scene! Krazy aje dah!

10282009, 11:15 am

Kirain udah kelar semua gitu loh kerjaannya. Eh sial, ternyata ada yang musti direvisi. Sementara yang dimintain approval pada gak bisa dihubungi semua. Sedaaap... Rasanya kayak sapi perah deh this week. But it's okay. Gue orang sabar kok. Ciaaaaattt!!! Jeddiiiiiggghh!!!

Nyampah Lagi

Kampretos. Mustinya udah kelar, malah terjebak bikin proposal roro jonggrang lagi. Bukannya gue ngeluh gimana gitu. Eh emang iya ngeluh ini siy yak? Yaaah, pokoknya, kagak begini caranya dah, bos! Gue pengen ceritain juga males. Kusut. Huh.

Sorry, just wanna trash.

Starbucking with New Friends

I'm at Starbucks PS with these funny guys who are the personnels of a band. They just started to rise up in the industry, and I hope they'll make it. They're actually great, I love their music. The songs are potential.

We're talking about their band, our lives, and our dogs. Haha. The manager is a dog lover, so he seems enthralled by my dogs' stories. Originally from Bandung, they are kinda still adjusting with life in Jakarta. This is their first time in PS which made me shocked when they told me that. And when I asked which place they want most to visit, my God, this is freakin cliché, their answer is: the RAGUNAN ZOO!!! *laughing hysterically*

Right, the next time we hang out, I'll take them somewhere they've never been. At the moment, I'll just enjoy their somewhat cute and naive stories. *very much entertained* :p

10242009, 11:46 pm

Enjoying today by indulging myself. Woke up at 6 with a craving of being in the water. So I decided to go swimming. A little incident when Bangbag wouldn't let me go. So I played with her. I could never refuse you, baby. You're my world. Haha... So I ended up leaving the house at 7. I thought there wouldn't be so many people swimming at that hour, but it was crowded/ It turned out that there's a swimming course for children. Yaaaahhh... Kolamnya penuh kecebong deh... Untung gue berhasil ambil celah di bagian yang dalem, biarpun rada rebutan sama orang, at least keinginan gue untuk berenang tercapai.

Setelah berenang gue gak langsung pulang. Laper niy ceritanya, dan gue penasaran kepengen ke TRS Diner. Jadilah gue sarapan disana. Cuman pesen omelet sih, tapi kenyang juga. Secara sidesnya ada hash brown, baked beans, n toast. Enak kok, cuma baked beansnya aja rada ajaib rasanya. Next time gue mungkin mau coba pancake ato french toastnya.

Kelar itu gue nyalon di Lutuye. Cuma cuci blow aja sih, tapi bayarnya kayak kalo krimbat plus blow plus refleksi di salon langganan gue. Mang beda kasta ya tempatnya. Hehee... Untung hasil blownya lumayan. Masih bagusan tempat langganan gue sih, niarpun jauh lebih murah. :p

Lumayan juga hari ini. Manjain diri sampe tengah hari. Trus pulang dan manjain Lil Bangbag deh. *Countless kisses and hugs for Bangbag*.
