the art of letting go
Wednesday, October 08, 2008
The art of letting go. The art I should’ve been able to excel ages ago.
I wonder if the best school to learn the art does really exist. Does it?
Lies have been told. Lies I once used to believe as the truth with 110% confidence level.
Too many sins already committed and more is really unnecessary.It’s a bittersweet. It always has

Lebaran
Sunday, September 21, 2008
Travel permit (am still on bridging visa), check. Annual leave permission, granted. Work, apart from those daily routine, everything pretty much done. I am so ready to go. Mudik mudik mudik! Aaah serunya, mudik Lebaran. Cuman kok banyak banget yang kudu dikerjain ya. My apartment is a total mess with stuff here and there. Havent packed just yet coz havent even done my laundry! The only spot worth praising is the kitchen, super neat super clean. The rest....hmm well I guess I should consider myself lucky to at least find a space to place my feet on!

Mama's gonna pick me up and insyallah we're gonna have a quick shopping in Jakarta. Thanks to the oh-it-so-costs-me-a-fortune tag of working outfit here, I prefer to spend my cash for something as good as the stuff here, but with a more pleasant tag. Gonna be exciting as I've never shopped in Jakarta for ages, no idea about all these fancy shopping centres back there. The only place I always visit in Jakarta is the airport! Yet apparently, it aint technically located in Jakarta. Dunno, everytime I'm home in Bandung, I just dont feel like going anywhere outta the town. I'm simlply a country bum.

Cant wait for those catch ups with loved ones. Starts on the 28th with this buka puasa bersama. Moving on to the 1st and 2nd day of Lebaran when the extended family would normally ambush my house (I've missed these moments for the last 3 years). Then either on the 4th or 5th, another catch up to celebrate Lebaran and my bday with friends. Yes, I'm getting a year older! And I'm happy that I've got myself a bday pressie (in advance it is). Canon EOS 450D is my new playmate. Need a more thorough interaction to get to know each other better, gaptek abis!

HAPPY EID MUBARAK!

indecisive
Thursday, July 24, 2008
Heran deh, orang Libra tuh kan harusnya jagoan at decision making tapi kok gua mah payah banget yah. It keeps changing overtime. Kasian orang yang gua ajak curhat, bingung kali yah dengerin cerita gua. Few months ago I made myself crystally clear that I'd be working at my current job for 1.5 years, until the end of 2009 that is. Few weeks later, I happily decided that 1.5 years was way too long. Shorten it down to 1 year shouldn't do me any harm. Decided. And two days ago, tempted by my work buddy's holiday plan back home in Dec, the idea of going back home for Lebaran seemed to be a brilliant one! It's gonna be the first time since three years. And guess what, since I wont be entitled to two-weeks leave by June 2009 just yet, I might as well stick to the very initial plan, stay here till the end of next year while making a good progress on my savings hehe. Fyuh...let's see if any amendments necessary. Anywho, cant wait to be back home, even for just a tiny short break. Just need to confirm the date with the boss, grab the tix and making my way home. Aku pulaaaaang!

from wedding to breakfast
Sunday, July 20, 2008
Two of my best friends just got married. Congrats to Ian - Yantie and Mijung - Rully. You have no idea how much I wish I could be there!


The world's number two defeated five-times-in-a-row Wimbledon champ. The match was claimed to be the greatest match ever. If it wasnt for the 1.5 hours suspension due to the rain, I would have stayed awake until the match's complete. Anywho, I feel sorry for Fed to cope with this so-called 'the thoughest lost', but hey....you've been at the throne for ages man!


Been drooling for this Nikon D80. Perfect match for my savings-in-progress holiday. Oh my birthday's less than 3 months away, so you still have plenty of time to get me my baby hihihi

It's decided. After a long haul of thinking and consideration, June 09 is gonna be the time to be back home. This time for good, insyaallah.



Went to this place for four consecutive weeks! Love this plave since the first visit. Though they have slightly higher tags for breakkie, I reckon it's worth every penny. I've been drawn by the chicness of the place. My fave spot is the one facing the park where the sun's coming through the clear drape so i can watch people playing tennis or just simply walking their dogs. More often than not my fingers always end up in the scrambled eggs on Dench organic sourdough toast with extra mushroom, salmon, and spinach plus a cup of latte. Fantabulous!

screw you!
Saturday, April 26, 2008
Keseeeeeeel!! Cita cita mu ber weekend ria dengan hati tenang dan bahagia jadi kacau balau gara gara gua salah pilih orang buat jadi tempat curhat!! Bukan relief atau consolation yang di dapet, gua malah diomelin!! You know NOTHING and so I wasnt deserved to be told off that way! Jujur, gua suka gengsi mengakui kesalahan. Tapi kalo emang gua bener2 salah, at the end of the day gua pasti ngaku. Kaya ibu ini yang suka ngomelin gua kalo emang gua salah dan akhirnya gua ngaku sambil bilang "hmm iya juga yah, harusnya gua kaya gini/gitu". But this wasnt the case, I havent even finished what I was saying!! Dia udah motong sambil ngomel ngomel bilang "kamu sih salah, harusnya jangan kaya gitu" dengan nada sewoooot! I'm not mad just because this person's not on my side. This person should've listened to all I was trying to say. If I was really at wrong, I'd have been more than happy to admit it. This person had always been one of my favorite trash bins. That's why I decided to ring this person last nite when tears nearly streaming down my face (akhirnya sih mewek juga). Arrrggghhh thanks for ruining my weekend!!

Bukan "waaah congrats ya Ne akhirnya dah lulus" atau "waaah keren2 pake grad dress" yang didapet dari temen2 pas mereka liat poto diatas. Semua comment nya sama "Ne, lo cina abis!!!". Not kinda comment I was expecting really, tapi tak apa lah, acceptable walaupun I cant stop thinking "se cina itu kah??"

Anywaaay.... am an official Monash alumni now. Bangga dan lega banget rasanya walaupun jalannya muter2 dulu. Dimulai dengan kuliah 2 taun di Unpar yang akhirnya voluntarily terminated, lanjut di foundie bersama para ABG yang baru lulus high school pada jamannya, then kuliah di Monash yang kampusnya nun jauh di south eastern suburb sana sampe akhirnya menyandang gelar bachelor, alhamdulillah. There was this moment when I nearly shed my tears when mama & papa looked at me for the first time with my grad dress on. I know they're so proud of me and I'm grateful I could make them so. Tapi emang dasar cengeng, pas mama papa pulang mah tetep aja nangis bombay. Sesenggukan di departure gate all the way ampe rumah. Memalukan.

Oh...akhirnya 'warisan' setumpuk kerjaan yang dikasih ma si bule yang posisinya Inne gantiin selesai sudah. I nailed it!! Jadi sekarang I'm pretty much up to date which is good coz then I'll be able to learn new stuffs. Awalnya dah ga enak aja ma si boss coz jawabannya selalu sama tiap dia nanya "where u up to?". Tapi kmaren dengan bangganya I told him "it's all done. no more stuffs piling up on my desk". Jadi sebelum next week bertempur lagi ma kerjaan, long weekend ini I'm so gonna pamper myself dengan wisata kuliner, good companions, coffee, and a quality sleep.

highlights of the week
Saturday, April 05, 2008
Went to Maroon 5 concert last Sunday nite. Had the best seat ever! Front row, lower section stadium facing straight to the stage! Pleased to tell my friends who bought the tix ages ago and sat further way up "Gue baru beli tiket nya dua hari sebelum concert lho!" hahaha. Awesome concert! Love the music, love the way he engaged with the audience, perfect! Sebelum liat mereka perform live, I had never considered that Adam Levine is that hot! Ampun deh, kalo lagi puasa bisa batal tuh liatin dia! Menggairahkan! Jadilah setelah concert tenggorokan ku berasa ga minum seharian, keriiiiiing!

Next on the list, finally have my own desk at work! Well, benernya dari awal kerja juga itu meja dah jadi hak milik, cuman kan si bule yang resigned masih kerja as my trainer, so we pretty much shared the space. Now that he's gone, betapa senangnya liat work station yang rapi dengan folder2 tersusun dengan indahnya! Started to enjoy work and now I treasure Friday more than ever. Yang bikin sebel, I gotta prepare my lunch every single day secara di kantor ga ada cafe atau canteen! Males banget. Pulang kerja bawaannya dah pengen relax dan leha leha. But this wont be running for long coz that exactly what catering is for :) Enak, murah, no fuss! One thing that i havent found the solution yet is my yoga session. Ga mungkin lagi ke gym buat yoga soalnya ga bakal kekejar waktunya. I'll prolly get a yoga DVD and my own mat and just do it myself at home.

fave phrase of the day: I love you, I love you NOT
