Changing

Today is another new day.

Many things hav changed.
There's no more Dinny in this crazzy office.
Friday was the last day she work here. She'll move to Jakarta on Sept 6.
Hmmm...we'll miss her.
We hold farewell party on Friday evening. Besides of that, we were celebrate Carla's b'day too. I wont mention her age (it's a sensitive thing that u shouldnt ask to women). She'll kill me if i do it :P


Carla's b'day


Back to the evening event.
As usual, Vera n Vei, representing us, said some comments and words. Din received memorables from us (design by Jon n Iyem), then she gave each of us a card, said something 'bout us (but me..huaaa...mayb she forgot it, wrong count, or something).
We didnt talk a word about the party to Carla n Din. It's surprise! Anyway...the party were successful. Took pics w/ excellogix jacket. Cool! but lots of "foto gila", so match with this office's trade mark.


Excellogix


Wacky pose

On Saturday some of Altoers hangout for the last time w/ DingDong @ PTC.
We ate @ Sanjaya. Yummy.

Yesterday i was back to PTC, this time w/ Edwin n friends.
Tried bakmi naga, but I prefer mie special Sanjaya.
Had a tought just a sec ago, i feel that i'm more "cuex" than ever.
Some of my friends said it lately. Yes, it's not new news for me. But i feel that way getting worse. Hmm..getting worse or mayb i'm more tolerant to others. I'm worrying myself. Am I change so much, become no heart n dont care about ppl around me? Should learn harder to accept myself, n fix my lackness

Sleepy day

Just drop by to write some lines.
Today i'm not in a good mood to write. So sleepy. I cant stand myself not to yawn.
Couldn't sleep till 1.30. Edwin lent me some VCDs (to copy). Gangs in NY, Arisan!, The Negotiator and Insomnia. As usually, I'd rather watch it first before burn those CDs (except Gangs in NY which I dont like it, and maybe Negotiator. I've already watched it).

Last night I watched Arisan! Good movie. It captures high class social life. The conflict between the characters was quite unique. The story told about MeyMey's life, an interior designer. She had unhappy marriage but she had best friend, Sakti, which is a gay. Such a caring n precious person. The movie also shot Sakti's conflict. He's trapped between his frightened what if others know that he is transexual but he cant deny himself that he is a gay. I think Arisan! wanna told us, just b yourself!
U should watch the movie.

It ended around 1 am, and still couldnt close my eyes. *smt happened before that i cant told here.
My mind kept thinking lots of things and i cant bear myself to think negative things (it seemed my melancholic side play here).

Btw, we (altoers) just followed KS held by DingDong on last Friday. It's about Personality Plus (by Florence Litteur). I've already known my personality from PP Weekend, about 3 months ago. It's PM . But here, I found that my plegmathis side is increasing. But I'm still the PM.
Hhhh... sometimes I hate being plain. Hav to learn to accept myself.
So..help me God

Wonderful Rafting

17 August.
Our independence day! What did u do'? Upacara???
NOPE! RAFTING dude!! (we didnt celebrate it, but it's 4 our own excitement). Who cares about "upacara" things??
At last, my dream come true.

We had to prepare @ 6 a.m, @ my house.
Jon came earliest with his red sleepy eye
5.45 already, and still Jon the only one. So i called Edwin, he waited for Henry "Kumis" (who always late).
Called Shinta, she also waited for Iwan.
Huh...late again
Vanie & Eren came later, followed by Eddy, a guy from Songa who was became our driver.

Jon brought his digicam (it's already become part of him as u know) & insisted me to brought mine too. At first I was worried if my camera will be broken, or wet..or even worst, lost, etc..etc.
He kept insist bcoz his battery cant keep enough power. But after get info from Eddy, i decided to brought mine. Not so long, Edwin n Kumis arrived, followed by Shinta n Iwan.
Shortly, after a lil' bit mess up when arrange our seats we began our journey around 6.30 Actually they picked us up by kijang, but it had some troubles, so they exchange the car with espass.
Not in comfortable position, esp i shared the same seat w/ Edwin so i just got narrow space
Stopped by @ Bromo Asri to had breakfast. Big n wide resto. Clean as well.
So relieved bcoz i could straighten my back.phiuuh...
Change positions. Better.

[Arrived @ Songa]
Dunno what time exactly we arrived there. But from parking field, we walked about 5' to rafting prep ground.
Drank "Teh botol Sosro" (without its struck). As usually, Jon act like papparazi.
I met Andre, my senior at STTS (we had different faculty). I known him on OSPEK session. We exchange phone number.
He already participate this rafting event 3 times, and told some tips for us.

We devided into 2 groups, each consist of 4 of us.
Group 1: Jon, Edwin, Iwan and me (with dry bag contain of our camera)
Group 2: Vanie, Eren, Kumis and Shinta
Before it's begin, they gave short briefing first about commands will be used.
Songa river has 35 cascades. The greatest cascade is called God Bless cascade.
It's dry season now, so the river flow isn't as rapid as rainy season, so is the water debit.


@ start point

Anyway, it's so FUN!
After we succeed through a cascade, we did a toss! Very exciting.
We also played tricky game. If we met another boat, we attacked them by made them wet with our oars.

Then, we jumped from a bridge. First, I felt a lil' bit unsure.
The bridge was tall enough. Maybe 5m, or more.
But a little guy, one of the guy at my boat, offer to jump with me.
Uhmm..ok then.
We hold hands, and JUMP!
WIIIIIIHhhhh....Never done it in my life!
WOW! I was so excited.
My friends jumped one by one, and Edwin too.
I know that he scared of height, it need courage to jump. I'm really appreciate his attempt and gave encourage to him (during that, me n Jon still had a chance to pose for the camera ).

Continued our adventure.
On every cascade we've been through, our guides gave short explanation to us. Sometimes we met s. Our imagination flew everywhere. We were imagine as we're in LOTR scene. There're orcs chased us. Jon & Iwan were acting like they can take a picture by their eyes & teeth (oh boy).
After we passed through God Bless (the greatest one), there's another game. Tarzan, one of our guides asked whether we agreed if they made the boat upside down. Hei..no need to ask. Sure we do! So, after a quick brief, they did it.
And, as fast as a blink, we were floating again and let ourselves adrift with the flow.
Gosh...i'm really enjoy it.


Great!

After that, we had a break. Drank degan and ate some klepon. Usually I
don't have an appetite to try it. But at that time i tried to eat it. Not bad, especially if
you're wet. Unfortunately, mine was the old coconut, so i couldn't eat it. Besides, Jon made me busy bcoz I had to took his action (dasar Jon..hehehe).
After we arrived at finish point, we still had many ideas how to pose in front of camera...hehe..


End with big smile

There's funny thing.
When I take a bath, I heard Jon scream. His precious digicam fell (for the 1xxx times...hahhaha).
I just cant stand not to lol (sorry Jon :P). Actually, for his camera sake, he wrap it with his towel during rafting session, but it seemed he forgot it :P Clumsy Jon. We has the same thought, that his camera ought to registered in MURI.

Every start has an end, so was our rafting adventure. Lucky us, lots of photos to remember this precious moment(thx to Jon, Eddy, Tarzan, Jabrix, n the others). It's so nice that we could back to our childhood. Left the office and forgot our boring routine tasks. I felt like I was in Far Far Away country (remember Shrek??). If it happen as my will, I wont get back to reality (but I realized that it just my stupid wish. If it really happen to me, I will get bored too). Mankind never satisfied with what they have (sigh).
Anyway, we're so please that day, and intend to get back someday.

Last day on this week

TGIF.

Tomorrow i'm going to outta this crazy hot town.
Hope our rafting plan will success since still 1 seat left :(
Cant wait till that day come. I want my freedom. So bored with all kinds of routinity. I'm waiting news from Shinta now.

Couple of my workmates sign up for newest reality show held by AnTV.
Makza just arrived from Untag for registration sesson. Coolz will catch up later.
The audition will be held on Jkt, Surabaya, Medan n elsewhere (i dont pay attention on that). The show is called "Penghuni Terakhir". The winner will get a house in Jabotabek, value: 1 billion.

[newest news: it seems my dream will come true...get a friend 4 rafting!!...ASOY GEBOY!]

Last night me n ed watched The Village. Bought Bread Talk as snack (i was so starve). Tuna puff, tiramisu and another one i dont know its name. Too bad they forgot the spoon :(
Back to the movie. Syahmalan showed up as cameo.
Not scary at all. I think asian horror is more horrify than west.
I met "the cute guy" that i known in KRK. Our duty was help them to find their seat.
Anyway, it's nice to see him again. I dont know him personally, but i think he is good guy, sweet and smart.

Had dinner @ KFC. I sat facing the window. I tought i saw my ex pass outside :D maybe him maybe not.
On our way to parking field, when we passed in front of Bread Talk. They havent closed yet. Some ppl still bought breads. Then I saw a little girl whom selling magazines staring inside. She has curly short hair. Maybe he stared @ those yummy interesting breads, or @ ladies n gents. I didnt know what was in her mind. I think she must be want to taste the breads so badly. I could see in her eyes (did she??or not?). Or maybe she had a dream about a better life, n imagine if she is one of the ladies. She might only hope n wait somebody to buy her things. It's really touch me (so odd, bcoz usually i dont hav such feeling. i ever thought that my heart made of stone, doesnt feel anything of everything. Plain, like i said on my previous posting).

Btw, I asked ed is it ok to buy a cake for her, but i had doubt, what if her friends get jealous of her? I'll put her in trouble. As if not give me time to decide , suddenly she act like woke up from her beautiful dream, turn out her face n ran into me. Actually i still wanna buy cake for her, but she offered her mags. ok then, i bought 1. eventough i'm not satisfied enough with what i've done, when i think it over maybe it's the best way for her.

If i buy a cake for her, she only can enjoy it just a sec. Yes, maybe can helpful for a while. But the consequences could be as i worried b4. Who knows. This is hard life in cruel world.
With bought a mags was more helpful actually. Not only pitty attention which wasnt necesarry (maybe)4 her, she also got the extra money to buy her needs, which she know more than i do. Whatever it is, i'm so thankful with what i felt at that moment and what i hav right now.

Another sucks conspiration

Last night my mom told me that we should pay about 3 million (AGAIN!!) for last month phone bill.D***!!!
The same thing happen with our line, just like last month. Somebody has stole it!
Luckily we can get our money back. This must b happen while we're waiting our complaint process to telkom. But we found strange thing.
Based on charge printing from Bank Niaga we hav 2 pay 3 million, but according telkom printing we only hav 2 pay almost 3. Where's the rest gone??? When pop asked them they cant answer clearly. Imagine how much money they've gain from this kinda thing.
 
Then, pop asked our number to b blocked. Right now we cant make call which start with "0". Just for local call. I'm glad bcoz internet connection is still available..
We 100% sure that there's "MAFIA" involve there, isn't it?
I suggest we better close our account, so we wont "donate" them again in the future. But pop said that he'll see about next 1-2 months.
 
We'll see...

Aujourd hui: pas mal

[I Will Survive!!]

Hot evening.
Today many things happen 2 me.
Started from around 5 a.m.
Bcoz of each member of the family has our own agenda, I decide to go to church in the morning,
1rst mass.
When i retreat my (pop's) car. Its back hit my neighbour concrete garbage. I heard "DUK!".
Upsssyyy....peel lil' bit at the back.
I thought pop will grumble, but then i tried not 2 think bout that (actually, not too worried., n drove to church.

Always love to attend 1rst mass (although sometimes with sleepy eyes). More peacefull, fresh air and not too crowded. Enjoy the "loneliness" in early morning.
Anyway, in the middle of priest's sermon, the guy who sat behind me asked whether the seat next to me still available ("basa basi" question! off course it's empty n he already knew it).
After almost 45 minutes there's only me n old lady at the other side).
Shortly, he moved next 2 me. Had a lil' conversation (blablabla).
1rst impression: typical average guy. Conventional.
Second thought: not too bad 4 conventional typical, but not too neat as well.
I think maybe to be good looking it's not his 1rst or 2nd priority.
Btw, I've got new friend ;)

Went to PA to turn our jeans back.
Caught by ugly cop bcoz of wrong line on my way home near TP.
But he ignore the car in front of mine.
%^&%$%$!!!!
Luckily, I was w/ my folks. So i followed pop to that d%$&$$XX police's pos. It's my fault, not
him. Gotta responsible for that. Besides, I wanna know how to real deal w/ $%%^%^XX@@! cop.
Paid 20 for them (we consider later that it's too expensive, 10 is enough. But it's already
happened.) Continued our way home, pop told us that he had a dreamt last night. It's a sign 4 what just happened to us.
Note: it's my 1rst experience had to deal with the corrupt stupid d&^*(^%%^^##!! ugly cops.
Recently, Pei had it too. The difference is, it's not her 1rst as mine n she chose not to pay them. After heard what happened to her, i had a flash quick wondering.. what it's like if i hav that bad experience myself.
It seems God hear it, and He answer today.
Thx God, I've got my lesson now.
Not happy with that, but at least I can get positive thing 'bout this.

Btw...my pop's reaction not as bad as i thought.
He just keep it simple, so not a big deal...hehehe...

Tired

[office - busy day]

Take a break a lil' while, since i've been so busy starting i sat on my chair.
This is bcoz a partner keep complaint all the time.
I dont wanna to talk bout this.
Just tired.
Almost lunch.

Last night we went to CCCL for the game thing.
There's nothing there but 2x2 not so big board in the middle of the room.
So we just talk for a while @ the cafe n had a drink.
I met Monsieur De Bray n say hi (well, actually he said hi to me first..hehehe).
Btw, I asked Ed bout Jien. He told me there's no contact from jien.
That's it! Enough 4 me.
I told him that i wont trust jien again bout all kinds of money thing.
I gave him a chance n he didnt use it (even reply my sms till now).
It's ok 4 me if he's not return it right away, but at least he give a response.
Really dont like how he treat me. Begin to think, does he have any manner?
Final result:
He doesnt bother to give it back coz i wont accept it.
"anggep aja buang sial"
Besides, i dont want to make this any longer.
Wont ask about that, wont take the money, and dont wanna involve w/ him if it there's money related. The point is...he lost my trust.

Next destination: PI.
Skip the story.
Hang out with 2 of our friends @ CafeCafe (I haven't eat yet).
Ordered an omelet and lumpia. Not yum, but enough 4 my kruyuk2 stomach.
While eating, I heard the guys @ my table talk about women (yeah...make me know more about women n men). We was so enjoy until the cafe closed. We're the last customers...hahaha...

[continue busy day]

Thx a bunch 4 d3nDenG. :)

Just another ordinary day

[Magnificent 7]

After watched TO, we had some "snacks" @ cafe 55. Yummy. I tried all things we
ordered...hehehe....so yum yum yum (really love to eat recently)
I'm very excited 4 heard this song again (in Andy's car) after we got back from there.
It's energized.
Borrowed it, and made 2 copies (4 edwin too).
I'm going to play it on my trip to Tuban next week.
Hope the hotel we're going to stay is as good as they say. Pop said that we've got sea view from our room.
Where am I on 16? (90% we're on holiday) dunno yet.

Today Denni promoted his blog he made himself.
He is so proud of it.
The "big old baby" has his own at last (since i remember he said that he is too lazy to write).
I think his motivation is he wants to "show up" his existency.
He love to be different.
Must be such a competitor guy. Left a comment there to annoy him

Checks my friends' blogs has become one of my schedules.
It's interesting to know what happen in their life.
Quite help to more understand your friend.

Make plan to visit game exhibition tomorrow evening @ CCCL.
Then read some books @ their library (trying to refresh my very poor french).
Right now i just remember to say : "Excuze-moi, je parle francais un petit peu"
Hopefully i can speak frech fluently in my next life, without my javanese dialect.

Bonsoir.

[very lapar]

Dinner: had some pieces of beef salad (actually bistik) from catering, pok pok with few rice.
Snack @ 21.30 : not healthy potatoe chips, half of giant banana

For 2 days I got very angry with Jien since he just walked away, pop off, right after the concert.
He went back to Malang w/ his GF without any notice.
I knew this from his sist. It's really pissed me off.

The matter was, he hasnt paid 4 the tickets!
It's cost 50,000, quite big number. I can use that 4 the other needs.
Besides, what I hate most was the way he act.
Yes, we didnt hav time to talk, but at least he tried to pay, or at least showed his good will.
Neither sent sms or whatever it is. He didnt reply my sms either, until this time.
I already talked to Edwin 'bout this, and ask him a favour to tell Jien. Dunno yet what's the ending. So irresponsible!

This make me promise myself, i wont involved in anything with him, if it's about money.
I dont trust him anymore.
Maybe u guys think..Hei..it's not a big deal. keep it simple.
I told u, it's not about money but about responsible, which he seem doenst hav it.
Money always be a sensitive thing. I cant trust anyone so easily bout that.
Luckyly, i can count on ppl around me about this, except this one.

*Just try to improve my blog with joke section
