Facebook


Facebook? Almost all the people in my circle now have Facebook accounts. I've been using it for almost a year now. Managing relationships with friends and acquaintances, keeping updated on their lives, finding old friends as well as making new friends, playing games and having fun with those thousands of applications, even flirting, and of course as a personal website. I must say the creator of Facebook and the guys who develop it to be the way it is now are geniuses. Facebook? Megang banget dah!!!

Currently on my FB:
  • 383 friends
  • Favorite applications: Car Madness, Speed Racing, Parking Wars, Pet Pupz, Li'l Green Patch
  • 12 photo albums
  • 171 photo tags
  • Had a school reunion as a result of my photo on Facebook
  • Intense wall-to-wall with some nutcases, eg: Batman and Cuno
  • Pages: Daniel Craig, Clive Owen, Marat Safin, Sushi Tei, Pocoyo, Max Brenner, Daughtry, Bailey's, YouTube, Sour Sally, Sting, Jason mraz, James Morrison, Robin Thicke, etc
  • Etc
Hmm, I guess I just can't describe it with words. It's THE phenomenon now. Heil, Facebook!!!

My Saturday to Monday

Last Saturday night Kucil, Menik and I went to Chubby's wedding. So, Kucil and Chubby's fling is officially over. I know Kucil is sad about it. But she knew what's gonna happen since they started their relationship. Right now, I could only keep her company while she licks her wounds. Be tough there, girl... We're with you...

We then went to New Score! at Citos. Mana mungkin siy kita langsung pulang? Malem minggu pula... Apa kata dunia??? Xixixixixi... We got a table right in front of the stage. While waiting for the band to play, we chatted about Chubby's friends which had become our friends too. Let's call them Arty, Ducky, and Liong. Mereka ternyata asik2 n baik. Yaaah, si Arty siy emang makhluk ajaib yg penuh misteri, Ducky itu orang baik2 yang mayan gaul n lucu, sementara Liong tuh kliatannya lempeng banget. Jadi mau ketawa kalo inget mereka.
Despite Kucil's misery, we still managed to have a good time. The band was a good one. We knew all the songs they played. Oh by the way, I ordered a Carlsberg. It turned out that there's an offer: buy 1 get 1 free. They gave me the usual Carlsberg, and then they gave me the NEW packaging of Carlsberg for free. It's simple and good. Just plain green with some embossing on the bottle. So I got to drank 2 for the price of 1. Cihuuuuy!!

Jam 1 kita putusin untuk kelar karena keesokan paginya temen Kucil mau buat foto prewed di rumah gue. We took a taxi to Kucil's house to get her and Menik's things, as well as the makeup kit as they were going to do the hair and makeup for Pipi's photoshoot. By Jove!! There were so many bottles and things just for makeup. Aaaaargh... At last they were ready and we went to my home. They were starving so I made 3 Indomie with 3 eggs, and we ate it together from the same big bowl. Wild, eh? Hehee... We went to sleep at 3.30. Woke up at 7, and started Pipi's makeup process. Overall, it was productive. It went all day. I gotta say this, one of the photographer was a hunk. Hahaa...

Later that day Batman called and said that he wanted to take me to this place to watch DVD. So I booked a room for the evening. But as usual, we had to cancel. He had to go with his boss, and it was raining anyway. Okay, udah biasa cancel gini, jadi gue udah bodo amat juga. Dari awal janjian juga gue gak gitu ngarep siy, biarpun pengen. Xixixixixi... I hitch a ride with Pipi to a warnet. You see, I and Batman's friends are competing on one of Facebook's application, Car Madness. I'm trying to beat them all, so far, it's going well. I just need to beat 2 more guys, but it's gonna be hard since they have 24 hours Internet access, and they're always online. So I don't think I can beat them in a long time. Sigh... Uh, I digress...

Anyways, gue kayaknya tidur jam 11an gitu. Tapi kebangun jam 1 gara-gara Batman nelpon. Katanya dia lagi makan di Blok S. Dia mau mutusin telpon waktu tau gue tadinya udah tidur, ya gue omelin, secara gue udah bangun ya mau gimana coba? Jadi terusin ngobrol, tentang hal-hal yang tak kunjung terjadi. Hihiks... Akhirnya dia bilang udah mau jalan pulang. "Mau nungguin gue sampe rumah gak? Ntar gue telpon. Tapi suara yang keluar ntar cuman boleh 2 huruf aja. Gimana?" I couldn't help laughing my ass off, "Yo wis, gue tungguin ya, pak..." About an hour later, I was already half asleep again, he called. Dan terjadilah apa yang diinginkan untuk terjadi. Halahh... Bener-bener tuh suara yang keluar cuman terdiri dari 2 huruf, plus bunyi nafas. Anjriiiit!!! Enaks, cuuy... Udahannya lemes d. Xixixixixixi... Trus bobo d. Trus bangunnya hampir kesiangan, eh, masih ujan pula. Gileee...

Tadi siang gue ke divisi sebelah, eeeeh ada Batman. Gue gak tau deh gimana bentuk ekspresi kita masing-masing pas ketemu disana tadi. Apalagi ada kejadian kayak telpon semalem. Yang jelas kocak. Wuahahahahaa... Pengen ketawa nakal tapi gak bisa, musti jaim n jangan sampe ada yang curiga. There's no such thing as 'terlalu parno'. Better be too careful than sorry, yeah? Sayangnya tadi banyak orang. Coba dia lagi sendirian kali udah gue cium langsung tuh makhluk. Waktu gue YM ma Kucil, dia bilang, "Udah bukan cuman cium lagi, cuy. Yang ada langsung dikelarin tuh disitu!" Damn right!! Huahahahaha!!

Sekarang jam 10 pm, gue masih di kantor nunggu approval dari klien buat desain soalnya mau naik printing malem ini. Huaaaaa... Eh, by the way, barusan Batman nelpon, katanya dia musti balik ke kantor, but with his boss. So I still couldn't get a ride with him. Sigh... Story of my life. And I AM still waiting for that approval. Come on, Sensei. Quickly!!!
Goody!!! Frigie called saying that Sensei has approved the final design. Now on to Final Artwork, then go to production. Let's go home, baby!!

Another day of battling with letters and words. Translations, wordings, spellings, and endless revisions. *cue wailing*.
When almost all details had been done/finished/sent/approved, at last we could take a breather. Then started facebooking again like crazy. Frigie, Batman, Dwarfy (Batman's pal), and I kept going back and forth and made shots at each other's walls and status. It was hilarious, especially when Batman and I used Frigie's status for our little flirting session. Xixixixixixi...

It's 10:42 pm now, and we're all still at the office. Not necessarily working, hehe. For these few days, I've practically been living on black coffee. I even put a pinch of salt in it to help me awake, but to no avail. Too much coffee, too little water, too much revisions, and too little sleep. But it's okay. It's weekend, and Frigie confirmed that we won't be working tomorrow. Totally free weekend. Yippee... But I know Monday is gonna be suck!!

Batman YM-ed me this morning, asking if it's possible for us to go out tonight. But as I know today was gonna be so friggin hectic, I must say no to his offer. I realize that our communication is lagging lately. I don't mind that much, but I kinda miss his frequent calls and SMS everyday. I know it's because he feels that I'm trying to call off. But that's really not the case. I have too much going on these days, and I couldn't find a perfect time for us to make it work.But whatever, I don't put much hope in this weird relationship. He seems to blame me on any cancellation. If it's gonna happen, that's good. If it ain't gonna happen, that might be even better for any of us. Hahaa...

I'm going home now. It's almost midnight, and still raining. When I get home, I'll just fix a long drink, change into pajamas, put on Brian Culbertson on my player, then enjoy my room, then have a restful night. Tomorrow is Chubby's wedding. I'm going to accompany Kucil attending the reception. Ciao...

Went to our client's office with Frigie to have a meeting with them. One of the persons in charge for the current project, let's call him Taka, is soooo gorgeous. Bening cuuuy... Xixixixixi... I tried not to look at him too often for fear of drooling like a fool. Hehee... The hair is styled like Takeshi Kaneshiro, side swept, longish at the front and back, it's perfect for him. Sharp eyebrows, long eyelashes, nice chin, laughing eyes, awwww... He looks so good when laughing. It's as if the whole face cracks open, I mean, the way he laughs so openly, throwing back the head and swing the hands along. It's so Un-Japanese. If you get my drift. :)

Anyway, Takeshi Kaneshiro is definitely my favorite Asian guy for now. I've known about him for quite a long time, but the first moment I really really got so crazy about him was when I saw his photos for the Biotherm ads. Hot Damn!!! It's surreal... Too good to be true. Yeah, I know those pics must have been touched up, but still, he totally rocks my Asian world. Hahaa... And I'm sorry to say, Russel Wong is so out.

Enough about drooling over Asians. I'm going home now to continue my unfinished work at home. The translations were done, but I still need to proof-read them. Ciao...

Mabok Huruf


Maboooook!!!

Mau pake bahasa Endonesia aja dah ah!! Abis translate eh nerjemahin 24 halaman konten tentang program bantuan dari salah satu negara donor ke Aceh setelah Tsunami. Huruf smuah cuuy, kagak ada gambarnye... Mata gue ampe juling n kering n retak-retak neh!! Udah mulai ngerjain dari kemaren, plus semaleman gue begadang demi job ini. Trus tadi siang dateng revisiannya, eh bentuknya mecah2 poin jadi lebih banyak gitu. Trus ama ngerubah konten di tengah2 kalimat. Mending kalow dikit gwettoh! Kampreeet...

Ok, cukup udah bahasa Endonesia nyang super ngaconya. Hehee... Sekarang giliran bahasa kalbu. Halahh...

Need to rest my eyes. An hour ago, I went down and.., eh shit. Maksud gue, tadi gue turun bentar, maksudnya mau cuci muka. Eh baru sampe bawah kok aneh ya rasanya. Ngeliat sekeliling kayak oleng ngambang gitu. Uh oh, gue langsung berlagak cool trus jalan pelan2 ke sofa di depan. Liat kanan kiri, gak ada orang, aman, gue langsung tiduran sambil ambil nafas buat stabilisasi, caelaaah... Emang hebat banget ya kekuatan huruf. Bisa bikin gue nyaris tepar, padahal ini cuman huruf loh!! Gimana kalo cowok?? Hmm, cowok aja mungkin gak bisa bikin gue mpe gini (knock on wood), xixixixixixi... Sepuluh menit udah dirasa cukup, gue cuci muka, trus keluar mau cari udara segar. Eeehhh, ada tukang siomay. :p

Baru mau makan, muncullah si CrewCut. Jadilah dia nemenin gue makan, sok narik tangan gue gitu biar gak usah masuk ke kantor. Dasar... Masih penasaran dia rupanya. Gubraak... Hahaa... One thing for sure, he's one guy yang gue males untuk terusin flirtingnya. Udah kepalang males, secara kalo denger dia ngomong aja udah sangat2 tidak atraktif. By the way, gue udah cerita belum kalo ternyata dia pernah kerja untuk kakak gue? Nightmare gak siiiy? Hehee... Yaaah... Mungkin dia mendingan dipake aja langsung daripada diajak ngobrol ya cuuy... (Huuussh! Awas disabunin tu mulut!). :D

Pulang ah. Pengen merem di kamar sambil dengerin Brian Culbertson. Mungkin setelah itu mau bo'ongin Miss V bareng ma Batman via phone. Xixixixixi... Mantaaaap... Dadadadadadadadadadahh... ;)

A Calm Day

Another hectic project. Must prepare for an exhibition, starting from scratch, all in a week. Booth design, panels designs, panels contents, content translations, booth building, not to say the revisions. For example, the client wanted total revision for the booth design. Or should I say, a whole new design, yeah? Hahaa... My role is as traffic, but I love it. The urgency and time limitation got my adrenaline pumped. Woohoo...

At the moment, I'm so hungry I think I could eat a horse. Even if I still can feel the aftermath of having Abuba for dinner twice in three days, thanks to Madame Kucil. :p

Anyway, yesterday I spent all day at home. Woke up at 12 noon, having super late brekkie, then the family left me at home and went to the mall. I always looove being home alone. I tried to sleep again, but I woke up half an hour later. Damn!! So I watched the Amazing Race Asia marathon on AXN. Shit, man!! Allan Wu is sooo sexy. He looked so manly. His well-built body, rugged face with a little facial hair, oh wow!! Got me squealing like a school girl. But he still can't beat Takeshi Kaneshiro. Hehehee... At about 4 pm, I brought my lunch to the Saung along with a Tom Clancy book, The Cardinal of Kremlin, a pulpy Minute Maid, and the MacBook so I could have some music, and enjoyed my time alone. The wind was blowing softly. A bit cloudy, but it made a lovely afternoon because there was no heat at all. The only thing I wish were there was a cold beer or a long drink. That would make my afternoon even more perfect. But oh well, I'd take what I could get...

At 6 pm I went back home and washed my hair. By the time I finished my bath, my family were all home, except for my still missing brother. I watched NCIS and CSI Vegas. Would you believe I went to sleep at 9? Even though I woke up again at half past ten. Hehee... Insomnia much? Not!! :D
Overall, it was a calm and good day. Thank you, Lord...
:)

Again, I am in Starbucks at Citos with Kucil and Menik. They stayed at my place last night. Kucil went to a friend's wedding presently while Menik and I just hang around here. We ate at Malay Village. Have I told you that it's my one of my favorite place to eat here in Citos? I ordered Malay Curry Laksa. It was delicious and refreshing. Menik had a Char noodle. Please note that the portion was huge. Would you believe I didn't finish my food? Hahaa...

Then we walked around Citos. Menik looked for some kind of make up kit, while I chatted with Batman on the phone. We talked about nothing in particular, just keeping in touch. I kinda miss him now. We'd planned to go to Puncak this weekend, but we had to cancel because my bro hasn't been home for a week, and I'm having my period. Poor Batman, he's so disappointed. And so am I. Damn!!!

There was this band playing acoustically for an FMCG brand's launching event. It's called Katakita. The vocalist has a great voice, resonant, strong, it's just so great it got me speechless watching him sang. They played songs by James Morrisson, Tompi, The Police, Goo Goo Dolls, John Meyer, Ran, and all other songs with similar genre. This is not a promotion, they don't even know about this blog, but I recommend Katakita for your event. One day, I'm gonna have them play on my wedding. Huahahahahaaa... As if...

Right now, I really want to see Batman. Not necessarily to make out, though it's something I wouldn't refuse, but I just want to meet him face to face. Don't take me wrong, I'm just worried, because he sounded so down these few nights. He called me everynight, and on those calls, he told me how he felt so alone, and that he felt the need to have someone to hold him, motivate him. He's not comfortable when there are people around, but he also couldn't stand being alone. At times like this, the temptation to go back to drugs is very hard to resist. And when it got so strong, he called me. I know this is not to be taken romantically. I think he feels comfortable with me. He knows I'm not judgmental, I don't take sides, I don't offer advice unless he asks for it. And I appreciate his trust, because I know how hard it is for him to trust someone, especially after his traumatic experiences previously. I can feel how he needs a hug. And I can give it to him. Ah well, I'm just being sentimental, and maybe it's the angel in me talking. :)

I'm taking turn with Menik. I'll let her use this laptop to blog, and I'll just chat with Kucil or just observe those people sitting around as well as walking by. It's one of my favorite pastime. Cheers...
