Stranded 0210

Damn, we're stranded. Me, Bos Noy, and Boti left Jakarta to Bandung last night, well, more like earlier today as it was actually 1 am. We stopped by for supper and I bought another Starbucks tumbler. Teehee. It was a relatively slow journey. We got to Bandung at about 4.30, couldn't find any vacant room in any hotel. Jeez, those stupid Jakartans really don't know any other places for their holiday, huh? Wait, don't include me. I'm here to work. Anyways, due to no place to go, the boss called one of our friend which is also one of our vendor and he instantly invited us to his house. At 5 in the morning. I doubt if it was totally voluntarily, though. But, he's hot! ;)

He's hot, and taken. Damn. There goes another opportunity. What a waste... *sobs*

SYTYCD Today

Spent the day watching various clip of SYTYCD. Hahaa... Instead of working, I watched those clips on Youtube. Well, mainly playing the Season 3 because I love Kherington, Twitch, Katee and Joshua, as well as Courtney.

Favorite routines:
1. Kherington & Twitch - Viennese Waltz
2. Katee & Joshua - Bollywood Dance
3. etc.

I like so many routines in this season competition, but those two stood out. :D

Right, back to Youtube now. :p

Rainfall - Nitin Sawhney

Got today's tasks done. And I wanted to go somewhere to grab a great coffee. But alas, it rained suddenly. So I had to drink instant coffee-mix. Again. In this mood. Bah!!

CrewCut and Gramps are out on a survey, and Boti is somewhere doing who-knows-what, while Doyok is of course playing an online games. I've harvested my crops and cooked some dishes. And I don't know what else to do. Facebook is getting boring these days. And I don't have any ideas to twit on Twitter.

Then I remember. I am the only notebook user in this office and it means I can browse and download to my heart content with no shared wifi. Oh bliss!! And it's what got me to play all those videos on Youtube. From one musician to the others, and I landed on Nitin Sawhney's world. Was checking the #nowplaying on Twitter, and found this girl hashtagging #nitinsawhney. I must say I could love that girl's tweets. Hahaa.

So here I am, playing his songs one after another without any disturbance. No loading, no usual shits. All smooth and lovely. And set my mood to right. Anyways, the first song of his that I've ever listened to was Rainfall. He collaborated with Urban something, I guess it must be a hip hop group or whatever. And I fell in love instantly with that song. Then I waited until his album came out here in Indonesia. I didn't even care about the price. He's my key to India. Before his songs, I'm sorry to say, I kinda looked down on everthing Indian. I always associated India with countless Bollywood ugly movies and songs and poverty, dungs on the street, etc. No offense. I wasn't cruel, but I was ignorant. And now, I would grab the first opportunity to visit the country.

I started by looking up his name on the internet. Then I was curious on how he could make his music so beautiful. Despite his British background, his music is influenced by his homeland. That is definite. And one thing led to another, one search pushed to another search. I started to look up India history. I fell in love with their myth. I started to read Indian literature. I dream of visiting all those historical and beautiful places scattered all over the country. And it's all because of Nitin Sawhney. Maybe he should get an award for influencing people to get the positive aspects of his country?

Babbling Babbling Babbling

Ahaa... The triple events were all done and over with. And all hopes for holidays are banished too. Damn... Langsung aja disuruh bikin proposal lagi gitu. Teganya teganya teganya... Oh well, can't complain much. I'm paid for it. Hahah.

Right, stop babbling, start working!

Bengal's Beautiful & Solitary Sunday

For the first time this year, I have a full work-free weekend. All Saturday and Sunday, only got 2 BB messages from the boss and nothing urgent. Ahahahaaayyy... Me luv it!!

Woke up late this morning, or should I say noon? Then had nasi goreng for breakfast, uh I mean lunch. Brunch, then. Back to bed. I only wanted to lay down for a while and listening to some music, but I ended up falling asleep again. Mom woke me up again for something, then I took a shower. I wanted something refreshing and light to finish the day. And I decided to watch some movies. I was curious about Percy Jackson, then I'd also seen a movie poster with Jonathan Rhys Meyers on it. There's no way I'd miss it!Hahahaa...

So, I watched 2 movies, Percy Jackson and From Paris With Love. Alone. Teehee... I started with Starbucks Cafe Moccha. Then Percy Jackson and pop corns lathered in butter. Then a classic cheeseburger and fries in a diner. The From Paris With Love plus caramel pop corns. Then another Stabucks Signature to go. Then I took a taxi home.

What a beautiful Sunday. All laid back and no work stuff. Just Bengal and pure pleasure. :D

First Gala

Just got a gig over last night. One down, two to go. After that, I slept for 18 hours. So, yeah, I feel better now. Though surely I could always use a vacation. The mind needs a holiday, badly. Buuuut, I have an appointment with Menik and Kucil later this afternoon. Yaayyy!! At last, we can all get together. Teehee...

Anyways, it was our first formal gala event, and I think it went quite well. There were some miss, but for others who didn't know what the rundown was like would think it was a great gala. Oh well, even the satanic boss admitted to it. :D

The best part of the night was definitely free flow of sushi and sashimi!! Hahahahahaaaa... And speaking of food, it's time for me to get my late lunch. Tataa...

Headache & No Life

Been having this massive headache for 2 days. Body feels chaotic inside. Need rest, I know. But I might as well get the wrath from the boss, as we're already more than swamped as it is. And to top it all off, I'm not only in need of rest physically, I also am so bored. I need to get a life. It's so gloomy inside. Damn!

But seriously, I do not have a life outside work. 3 fourths of my days are spent at work, sometimes even 24 hours a day. And very rarely got an off weekend. There were always calls and messages and instructions. Yeah, on weekends. I haven't seen my best friends for weeks. I don't even have time to hug Bangbag properly in the mornings. Fudge!

Payah Lu, Bos!

Berisik amat ya ni orang? Trus gk bisa gk panik gitu. Kalo ngomong musti dengan intonasi tinggi. Bikin org lain jadi ikut senewen. Buset deh! Bikin orang bete, senewen, stres, keki, kesel, n heran. Cuih!!

Pengen Libur!!

Lumayan refreshed setelah tidur selama 12 jam. Tapi gue pengen libuuuur. Hiks. Gila aja, 2 bulan gue gak pernah ada day off. Selalu aja ada yang harus dilakukan tentang kerjaan kantor. Edan, sumpe!! Pokoknya gue pengen libuuuuurrrr!!!

Almost Explode

At last, alone at the office. Ihiiy... Don't misunderstand me. I love the guys, but they could get overbearing at times. And I need daytime without my bosses and workpals. Oh, such a bliss... :p

My headphone's broken. Now I have to listen to all those various music blaring from each of the guys' speakers. The genres? You name it, you got it. My head feels like exploding. I can imagine myself, sitting at my desk, trying to concentrate on 3 different proposals, no headphones, Beatles and Pat Boone from Boti's place, Dangdut from Gramp's, Doyok's singing falsette Bon Jovi, and house music from CrewCut's. And for the past 3 days, the air conditioner in our room had been broken, so we need to keep the door opened. For circulation, that is. And when we do, the Boss' alay bands music would also blare into the room. Then my hair would get straigtened up, the scowl get even deeper, eyes red, smoke from the ears, getting worse, and getting even worse, aaaand, EXPLODE!! Brains, blood, hair and meat splattered all over the place, and the guys would still be oblivious. Oh, kill me...

But, thank God they're all gone for the day. Well, half day. At least I have a solitary and calming time even if only for today. Gonna sing out loud all the songs in my playlist, working on the proposal in peace, and blogging without paranoia. Hah!!

02022010, 11:14 am

A relatively slow day. First thing done when I got to the office was to make a hot cocoa. Blissfully warm and therapeutic in the cloudy morning. And then I harvested my crops and cooked another batch of tandoori. Gosh, I love Farmville and Cafe World. :)

It's not often I could play those games. Well, it's not often I can have time for myself these days. And when I do have time, priority numero uno is to harvest and cook. You see, I might have me time, but mostly it's only for a few minutes and always in the office. Weekend? I wish...

And I don't even think I have more than 5 minutes from now to do as I want. I know this won't be a good posting. Doh...
