not a boredome

What do you get when you fall in love? A guy with a pin to burst your bubble That's what you get for all your trouble. I'll never fall in love again. I'll never fall in love again. What do you get when you kiss a guy? You get enough germs to catch pneumonia. After you do, he'll never phone you. I'll never fall in love again. I'll never fall in love again. Don't tell me what is all about, 'Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out, Out of those chains, those chains that bind you That is why I'm here to remind you What do you get when you fall in love? You get enough tears to fill an ocean That's what you get for your devotion. I'll never fall in love again. I'll never fall in love again. What do you get when you fall in love? You only get lies and pain and sorrow. So, for at least until tomorrow, I'll never fall in love again! I'll never fall in love again! Don't tell me what it's all about `Cause I've been

dear stranger...

Today I just feel like writing for you. Thou I don’t know if you know me and maybe you even never notice me. You are just like other strangers I passed by on my way to office, out for lunch, q-ing at ATM, or maybe the one who ride motorcycle I almost hit few days ago. How are you? What are you thinking right now? I saw you sometimes look empty, drifted somewhere no body has know. Do you have any friend? Family? Husband, wife, kids or relatives? Excuse me if I’m a little bit noisy. I am just right now thinking if I can guess what is in your head. I saw you stepped into my Mom’s bakery just now, straight to the cakes shelves. Picked one or two then you asked for wrap to go. ‘Berapa?’you asked, ‘Tujuh ribu, bu’, pelayan answered. Well yeah, suddenly you mentioned something about q-ing for more then an hour at the gas station, and as you reached there, they only allowed you to fill up to 25.000. ‘Gila ya, sudah tunggu lama-lama…’ Hmm..so that is one of your worries. You know, stranger, yes
good food, good talk, good luck to you.

empty

that's the office as I arrived today after seminar. somes have said I'm not a person that can be alone. not preferable for a working environment. Office is so empty. Most of the Japaneses have returned to Tokyo, directly after the workshop. The only late bird will be leaving tomorrow morning, then only several local staff will stay. I have several other things to do, and that is also good since I will definitely have all the time for those things... But still, empty office is not a nice working environment. knock knock...anybody's there?

Married to Oncom

What do you wanna be for your next life? Huh? What do you wanna be for your next life? Vegetable or Fish? Huh?? I don't really believe in next life. I prefer to be human being, just like now. Well, you only have those two choices. Hmmm....Fish maybe. Why? I wanna be tomato. What? How come? I love tomato, it is red, pretty, I love tomato. Well...I like tomato too, they are pretty red, yet I never think to be one. Fish is better at least it can move. Ja, agree. It just pretty strange, that you like something and then you wanna be that thing! Well, at least it is better then be married to that thing... what? There's a friend of mine that really in love with something like fermented soya bean. Tempe? No...something with strong smell Oncom? What is that...anyway, I don't know what's the name is. But It is...fermented soya bean with strong smell... And? Well this friend of mine really likes that thing that he would be happy to be married to that thing. Married to an oncom? wh

Wicker Park Rules!

It was weekend with movies again. I borrowed 3 movies, but just managed to finish 2 of them. One is Wicker Park, the other one is Birth. I love Wicker Park . Yes, with cool soundtrack perfects the movie. It is just some usual love story, with doubts, passions, envies, and unwise decisions. Yet it is not a usual romance movie. Since the movie started I had several conclusions where this story would go, and none of them were rights, and I should change them in 2/3 of the story. The plots (I don’t think it has only one plot) are so thick, that it was difficult for me to take a pause. It is no heavy movie, not even try to be one. The actors are good, I should admit I never really know where have they played before, I think the main character Josh Harnett was in a TV series, but I’m not sure. When it comes to end, I thought it’s going to be another Hollywood style ends, thou yes a bit. But, it runs so fast with sudden thrilled moment that you (at least me) never think would come. I won’t e

Series of Unfortunate Days

Not of mine, those were of a colleague of mine. I knew him as a person that always tries to make things well-controlled. Won’t leave the office without clean-up his table (even for lunch) and put everything on the right position. Checking twice (or even more) all the assignments he has delegated to others. Writing really slow and carefully. Double (or triple) check when he is doing payroll. I accused him to be ‘obsessive compulsive’ –sure he denies it. Until these last few days… I don’t really say he haS days of bad luck…it sounds like a bad wishes. But some people see things that way. Mouse didn’t work. Left his laptop outside the office. (not unfortunate enough to lose the laptop with all financial reports, our upcoming workshop report, and other important files) Scolded by boss for being late for dinner Failed with some computer programs Lost his spec’s screw… Well, those unfortunate days may haunt some people, you or even me (knocking woods) Some say it is lowest end of your biolog

Soekarno Hatta Airport, Terminal 1A 5:46:49 AM

Taking earliest flight, I’m off from Jakarta to Makassar, directly to work. Yesterday was Mega’s wedding, my cousin from Mom’s brother. People said that yesterday (18 September 2005) was the best day throughout this year to hold a wedding. Yet still a surprise to see so many wedding cars in parking lots at Mercure Hotel Jakarta. My sis, Nat, said there were about 15 of them! In the afternoon when we went for hairstyling, it was sooo difficult to find a vacant salon. Same reason, too much clients—which would attend wedding party too, just like us. I should have taken a snap of those brides moving here and there at the lobby of Mercure Hotel, since the elevator were jammed by people, there are long q at Elevator Hall—not exception for brides! Now, I’m still half sleepy. I bet I’ll be late for office, and it’s Monday. I think I have no assignment left behind before departing for Jakarta last Thursday, so it won’t be a hectic day (crossing fingers) Purchased a book, Invisible Cities by Ita

imagination day

today is Isra Mi'raj, a moslem holiday in our country. after a bad night sleep, I decided to make my day. Brought my Mom for a hair do around 9 AM on the way home I passed Odiva, a chain video rental on Sultan Hasanuddin. It is not cheap, but anyway... I'm to lazy to stroll around on pirated DVDs. Chose several title, I went back and start to watch. First: Bridget Jones' Diary (1 & 2)...what a laugh, I remember a friend of mine during her 'single without boyfriend phase' was so influenced by this movie...too bad, it sells too much dreams. Nevertheless it is still a good mood lifter.~seeing ReneƩ Zellweger in that size, really convince me to watch my weight...hehe... Next: Banyu Biru (indonesian movie) a long and slow plot, just a bit surprising when he woke up and realized it was a dream... and just now I finished Finding Neverland a really beautiful piece on Peter Pan in the making. I love Depp in this movie, I can't wait to see him in Charlie and the Choc
