Went to PIM yesterday and enjoying Sushi Tei. It was bliss. After so long, at last I could satisfy my craving of it. I went solo, and had California Roll, Stamina Roll, and Salmon Sashimi. I wanted more, but I was so full already. Damn!! Anyways, I took a picture of my solo dinner and then posted it on my FB profile. Then I tagged Frigie and Kunti who were also sushi maniacs. And boy, were they mad!! Wkwkwkwkwk... Peace, yo...
And then I strolled around, checked a new fragrance from L'Occitane, then crossed the bridge to PIM 1. I went to Gramedia and bought Raditya Dika's Kambing Jantan. I started reading it this morning, and it was hilarious!! Haha... I digress... From Gramedia, I went to Body Shop and there's BIG SALE!! Yippeee... I bought my favorite Body Mist for my stock. And believe it or not, I left my shopping there at the counter and I'd only came to realize it this morning. Idiot!! I've been calling them today and not once did they answer it. Huh!!
I met Psycho and his wife and kid in front of Levi's shop. We chatted and caught up some news, meanwhile I also played with their daughter. She was cute. But not nearly as cute as my Li'l Bangbag. :)
I moved on to Starbucks. I had a decaf dripped black, and enjoying it on the couch. Not long after that, my brother pinged my BB Messenger and told me that he was at BK. So I went there and finish his french fries. :p He bought a book of Learning Piano because we just acquired a new piano at home. And no one could play it, hahahh... But it's a good investment. I'm going to push Bangbag to learn it when she's old enough to learn it. Go, Bangbag!! Soon to be the new Maksim. I think I'm going to be her manager and give her a stage name: Lady Maksima. Tweww...
Before going home, I and my brother dropped by at Famous Amos and bought an ounce each of their cookies assortment. Overall we bought 7 ounces. Imagine all the fat and sugar swimming on my thighs. Not trimming at all. *Sigh*
When I got home, Batman texted me saying that he's on his way to the ER because his condition got worse instead of getting better. Dammit!! I don't know what to do or say. No doctors could diagnose his illness so far. Where else should he go?

Dalam Rangka HUT Jakarta
Nulis post ini dalam rangka HUT Jakarta niy. Jadi thematic gitu. Padahal mah isinya sungguh amat subyektif. Tweww... Jakarta, ibukota dari Indonesia. Pertama kali disebut dengan nama Jayakarta, kemudian oleh Belanda disebut Batavia, hence the name 'Betawi' for the settler there. Then it became Jakarta. I was born in Jakarta, and have been raised here as well. Regardless all the craziness of life, I love it here, and wouldn't trade it for any other place. Yet. Hahaa...
Memori kehidupan gue pastinya semua seputar Jakarta. Dan sedihnya, gak ada yang seru dan lucu kayak yang di acara si Bolang. Hehee... Tapi waktu kecil, gue inget sekolah di playgroup yang ada kolam renangnya, trus masuk TK di daerah Pondok Indah. Pulang pergi sekolah naik becak. Sekarang bisa nemu becak aja udah syukur. Trus kalo sore kan pasti banyak banget tuh tukang jualan yang lewat depan rumah. Naaah, suatu hari, ada tukang rambut nenek. Gue pengen banget, dan gue cuman punya duit 25 perak. Gue pikir cukup. Jadi gue bilang sama abangnya bahwa gue mau beli satu. Udah siap, gue terima tu rambut nenek, trus gue kasih duitnya. Eeeeeh, dia bilang kurang, mustinya cepek. Huh... Gue nawar dong, niru nyokap kalo pergi ke pasar. Cuma masalahnya tu barang udah gue pegang kan, udah gue mulai makan pula. Dia tetep gak mau nurunin harga. Gue marahlah, gue bilang, 'Abang pelit!! Jualan kok mahal amat!!' sambil gue tinggal. Kelar main, sorenya gue pulang, nyokap langsung marah besar ke gue. "Mama gak pernah ngajarin kamu ngompas orang gitu!! Bla bla bla...' Sialaaan... masa iya siy gue umur 5 tahun dibilang udah bisa ngompas orang. Gak mungkin deh. Orang itu aja yang kalo jualan kemahalan. Huh!! Dasar tukang ngadu tu abang2...
Entah kenapa gue punya banyak flashback kamar hotel. Dan nama Hotel Mandarin sangat melekat di otak gut kalo pas lagi inget2 masa kecil. Ternyata ya, gue diceritain sama kakak gue kalo waktu gue masih pitik dulu, nyokap suka impulsively decided mau nginep di hotel. Cuma untuk iseng aja. Halah, mak. Iseng aja bisa mpe nginep di hotel. Sayang gue cuma dapet flashback kamar hotel doang, gak inget ngapain aja dulu. Hiks... Sama suka dibangunin jam 2an malem gitu trus sekeluarga pergi makan bubur ayam di coffee shopnya Hotel Indonesia. Sekarang udah gak ada lagi, padahal enak bangeeet... Sumpah tu bubur enak!
Dulu kalo mau makan Kwetiau paling enak di daerah Mangga Besar. Kalo sekarang mah yang namanya Kwetiau Pontianak udah ada dimana2. Tapi kenapa ya sambelnya udah gak ada yang seenak dulu? Kalo mau makan sea food perginya ke Pecenongan. Kangkung hot platenya gue gak lupa mpe sekarang. KFC cuma ada di lantai 2-nya Supermarket Gelael di Blok M. Kalo Burger King ada di sebelahnya. Gue dulu jadi member kiddies clubnya BK loh. Hahaaa... Eh ampir lupa. Di Gelael ada hotdog paling enak sedunia. At least itu menurut gue dan bokap gue. Secara dulu rumah kita gak jauh dari Blok M, kalo pulang sekolah ato sore2 gitu suka beli hotdognya. Practically everyday tuh. Hiks, kangen sama hotdog itu. Sampe hari ini belum ada yang nyamain. *BTW, kenapa jadinya malah nulis tentang memori makanan siy?*
Biarpun Monas jadi icon Jakarta, gue cuma pernah beberapa kali aja masuk kesitu. Sebenernya siy 2 kali doang. Sekali pas karyawisata sekolah, yang sekali lagi sama bokap gue. Pokoknya gue udah pernah berada di puncak Monaaas!! Tapi kalo pas Jakarta Fair mah pasti dateng duunks... Makan kerak telor, makan gulali sampe mules, digendong bokap di bahu, minta dibeliin balon, sama nangis kalo liat badut. Believe it or not, waktu kecil gue takut banget sama yang namanya badut. Kalo sekarang siy gue tendang2in aja pantatnya. :p Kalo perlu gue tarik wignya. Hihihi.Sejak Jakarta Fair dipindahin ke Kemayoran, gue jadi males kesana. Cuman sekali doang dulu waktu masih baru2 pindah. Dan baru sekarang lagi gue kesana, itu juga gara2 kerjaan. Jauh amat yak? Trus susah pula kendaraannya. Modalnya gede banget tu, kalo pulang malem kan terpaksa naik taxi. Gila, dari Kemayoran mpe Sudirman aja udah berapa, apalagi sampe rumah gue. Tweww...
Waktu SD gue ikut klub renang, latihannya 2x seminggu di Senayan. Kakak gue dengan setia dan galak anter jemput gue latihan. Emang beliau yang maksa dan ngebet gue masuk klub renang gitu kayaknya. Ditungguin pula. Hiiii... Kalo berani nolak, eh gak pernah berani gue deng... Gue sempet jadi juara 3 se-Jakarta loh. *Cih, gitu aja bangga!* Trus waktu SMP kan musti ada nilai olahraga dan kalo berenang di kolam renang Pondok Indah aja dong. Gak ada deh yang bisa ngalahin gue, termasuk cowok2nya. Kalo disuruh lomba sama gue, pada gak mau. That's how good I was at the time. Kalo sekarang mah bisa ngambang aja udah bagus. *Halahh* Pernah sekali gue musti berenang di kolam renang Bulungan. Cukup sekali2nya itu aja deh gue kesitu. Pengalaman buruk yang bener2 made me scarred for life. Jeez... Pas udah ganti pake baju renang, gue sama temen gue jalan ke ujung kolam, siap2 nyemplung. Alhamdulillah gue udah terbiasa untuk stretching dulu. Sementara temen gue main langsung nyemplung aja. Pas lagi stretching itu, gue ngeliat ke dalem kolam, penasaran kok kayaknya ada sampah ato apa di dasar kolam gitu. Kirain apaan, tapi ternyata oh ternyata, itu adalah BOKER sodara2!! Sekali lagi, itu adalah BOKER MANUSIA yang berwarna coklat berbentuk seperti lontong dan berwarna coklat menjijikkan. Ohmaigat!! Untuuung aja gue ngikutin pakem olahraga untuk stretching, jadi sempet buying time to observe the warzone. *Halahh, lebay!* Gue cuma bisa nyengir jijik sambil manggil temen gue dan menunjuk ke arah benda tertuduh di dasar kolam itu. Apes lo, cuy!! Wakakakakakakak!!!
Dia langsung naik dan mandi sambil jerit2 jijik sendiri. Gue ganti baju lagi dan nunggu dia sambil duduk di deretan kursi penonton yang ngelilingin kolam. Di belakang gue adalah pagar kawat yang menghadap jalan. Gue gak inget apa yang membuat gue menoleh ke belakang, tapi gue noleh. Damn!! There was this bapak2 lagi ganti baju di rerumputan depan pagar itu dan gue melihat BURUNGnyaaah!!! I saw 2 inappropriate lontongs in one shitty day! *Hueeek!!!* Gue yang jelas kaget dan sempet terpaku menatap benda aneh itu, dan si bapak itu tau gue lagi ngeliat dia, cuek aja loh. Malah ketawa mesum ke gue. *ANJIIING!!!* Gue langsung lari ke kamar mandi dan nyuruh temen gue untuk buru2 kelar. Gak lagi2 deh gue ke kolam renang Bulungan. Najis!! Cuma di Jakarta gak ya yang kayak gitu?
Yah, ini cuma beberapa pengalaman gue di ibukota tercinta. Kapan-kapan bikin sequelnya deh. Haha. Udah gak konsen, soalnya banyak yang musti dikerjain. Cya, peeps...

Fortunate - Maxwell
Verse 1:
Never seen a sun shine like this
Never seen the moon glow like this
Never seen the waterfalls like this
Never seen the lights off like this
Never dug anyone like this
Never had tasty lips to kiss
Never had someone to miss
Never wrote a song quite like this
Chorus:
Fortunate to have you girl,
I'm so glad you're in my world,
Just as sure as the sky is blue,
I bless the day that I found you.
Verse 2:
Never had room service all night
Never took a trip first class flight
Never had a love affair so tight
I've never felt a feeling so right
Never seen a winter so white
Never had words to recite
Never had a flame to ignite
And I never sang a song with all my might.
Chorus 2x
Silence child hope you hear
I'm callin out to your body
Baby you know just what to do
Close the door no interlude
chorus 2x
Maxwell, is definitely one of my favorite musicians!! You rule, Max!! Keep on the great musics...
Getting Sweeter
I’m in love. Or infatuated. Who cares? What matters is I’m with him now. There are still complications about his past, but he never did bad things to me, nor did he do bad things in front of me. And I can see that he cares for me too. So that’s it. Can’t say for sure if we’re really a couple now, but this relationship is mutually exclusive.
On the surface, he says the most endearing words to me. He wishes good things for me. He holds my hand, kisses my cheek, rests his head on my shoulder, smiles lovingly, and looks at me as if I’m the prettiest girl in the world. He puts me on a pedestal. It gives me the high. But on the other hand, it makes me worried too. I don’t want him to be disappointed in me. And I’m a little scared to get hurt again. But I’m going to enjoy it while it lasts. And wishing there would be no more problems.
Bengal and Batman, what a weird couple…
06202009, 10:15 pm
Batman was still treated at the hospital. The guys planned to visit him and see how he was. But at the last minute they changed their minds and all went home. I have thought that I would see him and spend the night there. I knew he was alone. So I went alone by ojek to the God-knows-where hospital. He was so happy that I was there. And so was I.
I kissed his forehead the instant I saw him, and he wouldn’t let go of my hand. We just looked at each other and smiled stupidly. Hahah… He didn’t look so good, mainly because he had headaches and high temperature. Later, his fever spiked and I called the nurse. He was shivering and sweating and looked in pain. He was feeling so cold, and the stupid hospital didn’t even have an extra blanket. So I took off my jacket and wrap his feet in it. I also had brought a ‘kain bali’ to keep me warm at night, and I put it around his upper body. Then I climbed on the bed and held him close to me until his fever subsided. The nurses checked on him occasionally, and seemed fine with the fact that I’m in bed with him, so I continued until he’s feeling better. Than I tried to sleep on the hard chair while he slept. Couldn’t find a comfortable position, so I just watch him slept while dozing every other minute.
Morning came, I washed my face and then waited for him to wake up. When he did, it was so cute. He seemed stunned that I was still there, and a bit overwhelmed too. It was so sweet. Hahaa… We spent the morning chatting and being happy, just the two of us. So sweet… :D
At 7 am, I left him and went to Menik’s place and spend the day with her. Couldn’t have anyone from his circle see me yet. Hehee… Get well soon, dear. Muaach…
