vermoeien rust

It wasn’t a good night sleep.
I kept awake half way, every one or two hours…
My phone rang on 6:30 AM.
Hello, did I wake you up?
Ach, it’s Mom…as usual, she is my morning call.
Anyway, I was half awake already—or even haven’t slept, maybe?
Her conversation was about usual things,
Until…
Yesterday, Mega—my cousin, she is a year younger than me—was proposed.
His boyfriend’s whole family came to ‘ask’ her…
Ugh..where was your conversation leading to, Mom?
Good for her, she must be happy, I said lightly…
I never keen to talk much about my cousin’s life.

Anyway…
Did some exercise, I was ready to work.
Got my car a general checkup;
Engine was adjusted for Premium from Pertamax…
Got it washed thoroughly, too.
It should be ready for my first time driving to Jakarta from Bandung alone, tomorrow.

Preparing things for tomorrow meeting with Pak Jo,
also list of work for Dimas.

Went home, reading sphinxku blogs…seeing her soaking in bathtub really make me envy!
Masa’ saya harus berendam di bak mandi? Hahahaha...
I promised my self, next time I build my ownhouse, it should be with bathtub installed.

Bak Mandi actually look like Japanese style ofuro, it's deep and kinda square depends on the house I guess.

Muntok - Old Lady with Trace of Beauty and Charm part 2

Walk the City, then you will get the soul… ...and you may find more hidden beneath... Filled with otak-otak and es kacang, we continued our walk around Old Muntok. Few houses from Petak 15, there is a weird signboard : " Lorong Babi" . We laugh at the funny words in the beginning and follow the direction it shows. We found a newly built kiosk in a dead-end narrow alley. In there, 3 men are selling pork. They were smiling and told us to come in. I asked them if this place is new and they approve. "We are moved here when they (the government) move the old market to the new one across the river" I could see the new market from their stall…across the river. All of you are not joining the others to the new market? "No, this is the location for us" I didn't ask further. It is clear to me. Johannes Widodo, our Keynote Speaker, coined "Meeting Pot" for Muntok. According to him, differences for centuries manage to live side by side in...

(Supposed to be) Last day with JICA Mamminasata

this was taken just before we left. Some local staff had left, so here was I, only lady in the party. on my right is the team leader, left is the deputy team leader. My only aim was to finish my leftover tasks from Mr. Koizumi and Mr. Watanabe’s Decree (well it’s Presidential Decree Draft, not his decree..but whatever) I have to transfer some of tasks to other people, since today is my last day. I did that. Eventually, Ibu Itha asked me to accompany Mr. Koizumi (our team leader which I always afraid of) to ASKINDO (Cocoa Association of Indonesia). This was my first time to be with him and in fact my first time to have conversation with him after 10 months working with this study team. I am really grateful that I had that chance. He is an extraordinary humble person with rich experiences in his professional life. Just like the story of his 30 years old leather suitcase that he purchased in Rome and still accompany him everywhere he goes around the globe. He might looks old with his grey...
