Makan...yang irit....dimana yah..

Sabtu sore kemaren, ceritanya gw sama Vic mo rencana mo makan di Kemang (dia abis ultah, jd mo traktir gw dinner..hehehhe)....ada satu tempat makan seafood yang lg jd favorit banyak orang krn harganya yang supermurah...gw sih udh pernah kesana, tapi berhubung Vic blm pernah dan dia pengen kesana yah...gw ikut aja...

Frankly speaking, kl menurut gw sih rasa makanannya so so aja, kalah jauh deh sama tempat2 seafood yang suka gw datengin di daerah pecenongan...tapi, enaknya juga lumayan banyak, orang bs pesen segala macem menu dan gak takut bakal keluarin duit banyak....trus tempatnya juga lumayan cozy...ber-ac pula...

Jalan dr rmh jam 4-an sore, dengan cuaca agak dingin mendung...dijalan akhirnya mulai ujan...berhubung masih tanggung, kita ke salah satu mal yang ada deket situ...liyat2 segala macem..jam 6-an lewat kita jalan lagi ke Kemang....wuihhh ujan deres udh nunggu pas kita keluar dr parkiran....macet pulak...sampe disana gag dapet parkiran...terpaksa parkir dipinggir jalan trus lari2 dibawah siraman ujan....

Masuk kedalam...alamak...ternyata udh waiting list bow...ramenya....gw sama Vic jadi mikir, even orang Jkt banyak yang meng-claim sbg bagian dr gaya hidupkosmopolitan, dimana orang gag mikir2 lagi klngeluarin duit....ternyata pas disuguhin makana yang murah..tetep aja rebutan....sempet gw liyat juga seorang penyanyi terkenal lagi ngantri juga....hmm....

Untungnya gw cuma berdua, jd nunggu 15 menit langsung dpt meja....langsung deh, pesen segala macem, solanya di sini, kita tuh gag bisa re-order makanan,jd harus sekali pesan aja,kecuali nasi ama minumnya....dr mulai udang, cumi, kerang, tumis2an, tahu, kelapamuda...hihihihihi...udh gag ada jaim2nya deh...pasti gw disangka kalap sama Vic..tp yah secara seafood gitu....i could never pass an offering like this...hahahhaha...

Selese makan....pas jalan keluar,udh hampir 1/2 9, yang antri tambah banyak aja bow....gilaaaa.....sepanjang jalan kemang masih aja macet...keluar lewat Bangka....muter2 dulu di Tebet...pake nyasar, cause kita berdua gag ada yg familiar sama daerah situhh...hehehehe....tetep aja, disepanjang jalan kita jadi ngomongin kenapa tadi kita berdua mesennya kayak kalap gitu (gw sih...)....faktor apa sih yg bikin pengunjung kayak gitu...karena gw yakin semua yang kesana pasti kayak gitu...what a great sales...and marketing...

Home...again...

I'mmmmm backkkkkk.....


My my...last time I blog was on Jan 24...after that I was totally denied of any internet access in the new company i moved to...10 months....OMG...!!! It's kinda sad leaving my old company....but life goes on and I have to move on right....especially now, since I'm getting older, I need to carefully start re-arranging my life...soon...need to have more time with my life and my friends, things that I was deprived of.

I moved, a week ago, to be exact....to another MNC...hopefully will have me exposed to be a global worker...amin...amin...it's totally different kinda of work, but I have to try, otherwise I will never know whether I'm capable or not.

This week started very slowly, since my boss is still out of the country, I can work from home as long as I am connected to internet and phone...so I practically have lots of time, which I use to get my self relaxed, and also catching up with some old friends....Life is wonderful....

Soo...i'll be blogging more often now...start writing again...who knows that I might be a writer someday..hehehehe....

ciaooo

i have been blogging all day....darn...whan can i say....i'm enjoying the last minutes i have in this office, the free n easy net access...before i start to enjoy my 2 weeks off and start to work my ass's off at the new office next month...mann....will be a real hard work after all these times....

my bebe

my bebe, he's catching cold now...poor him...get well soon dearest hafizh...auntie loves you very much

brown eyes

Remember the first day when I saw your face
Remember the first day when you smiled at me
You stepped to me, and then you said to me
I was the woman you dreamed about
Remember the first day when you called my house
Remember the first day when you took me out
We had butterflies although we tried to hide it
And we both had a beautiful night

The way we held each other's hand
The way we talked, the way we laughed
It felt so good to find true love
I knew right then and there you were the oneooh oh oooh

I know that he loves me, cause he told me so
I know that he loves me, cause his feelings show
When he stares at me, you see he cares for me
You see how he is so deep in love
I know that he loves me cause it's obvious
I know that he loves me cause it's me he trusts
And he's missing me, if he's not kissing me
And when he looks at me his brown eyes tell his soul

Remember the first day, the first day we kissed
Remember the first day we had an arguement
We apologized, and then we compromised
And we haven't argued since
Remember the first day we stopped playing games
Remember the first day you fell in love with me
It felt so good for you to say those words
Cause I felt the same way too

The way we held each other's hand
The way we talked, the way we laughed
It felt soo good to fall in love
And I knew right then and there you were the one ooh oh ohhwoah

I know that he loves me, cause he told me so
I know that he loves me, cause his feelings show
When he stares at me you see he cares for me
You see how he is so deep in love
I know that he loves me cause it's obvious
I know that he loves me cause it's me he trusts
And he's missing me, if he's not kissing me
And when he looks at me his brown eyes tell his soul

I'm so happy, so happy that you're in my life
And baby now that you're a part of me
You showed me
Showed me the true meaning of love (the true meaning of love)
And I know he loves me

I know that he loves me, cause he told me so
I know that he loves me, cause his feelings show
When he stares at me you see he cares for me
You see how he is so deep in love
I know that he loves me cause it's obvious
I know that he loves me cause it's me he trusts
And he's missing me, if he's not kissing me
And when he looks at me his brown eyes tell his soul
He looks at me and his brown eyes...Tell his soul

brown eyes-destiny's child

cloudy days....rainy days

dark clouds over jakarta yesterday...turned to pretty hard rains....and u know what would happen if rain started in the afternoon and still rained till evening. traffic jam all over jakarta. just like yesterday, rain started at about 4pm...real hard...i didn't go home straight away cause we wanted to have bubur ayam at menteng. he picked me up at 6.10, told me bout the traffic jam everywhere...thanks God it's near...got there, packed, so we ate in the car. it was hot, tasty and yummy...after a bowl of that and a bottle of tekita, home we headed.

at 8.15, we were still jammed in taman suropati area...then we decided that we would take the route i usually took with my friend from the office everyday. from menteng, manggarai, bukit duri, out in jatinegara, passing by the train station, cipinang prison, turned right thru cipinang elok. filled the gas at spbu cipinang...more traffic jam when we turned to pahlawan revolusi, what can i say, water's everywhere...after hero, it's calmer...got home at almost 9, well well well, i didn't see my brother's car, my in law said that there's a tree going down near hero cipinang so the traffic was really jammed....pffff....glad we didn't take that road...

It's hard to be strong, isnt it

Urgghhh....it's monday noon...raining pretty hard outside, believing that there will be floods everywhere...it's cold in here, sleepy and i have my stomach gastrich....so i'm having this real hot tea to calm my upset stomach.

It's the beginning of the 3rd week in Jan 06. I already signed for my official resignation last wednesday...after i signed the contract with my futur company. So, my last day here will be Jan 30...my oh my i cant wait. I'm planning to have some days off before i start working again on Feb 15. So basically i will have 2 weeks off then....if nothing happen...like my current spv, she wanted me to stay longer to give training to some new people here...urrhhgg...i said...we'll see....on 2nd thought too much days off will make dull anyway...but on the other hand, i could call my future employer that i could commence earlier...(she asked me to do that whenever it is possible).....lets see...

Two feelings are mixed, my excitement in having new job and lil bit nervous, undercurrent question, whether i'm gonna be able to do my job properly!!!...well...i just know that i have to work my ass off so that i could pass the 3 months prob period....and could relax afterward......and maybe, maybe those are the reasons of me having so many different dreams lately....and the recent one i had, on saturday night, i dreamt of my late mother (i have never had any since she passed away more than 2 years ago)...i remember too vividly, she hold me to sleep, something she always did whenever i got the chance to be home, i always slept with her...it was so real i could feel her next to me that i woke up to the darkness...i was very shaken...partly because i miss her so dearly...and partly because i was lil bit afraid that she is not happy there she had to come....

I told my friend bout this, gladly she told me that it isn't always bad if our deceased parent come in our dreams...sometimes it's just to show us that they will always love us no matter what...like my friend Tasia beautifully puts it " she came to your dream because she loves u very much, and wants u to know that she always supports you through the hard times in your life, eventhough she is not around anymore...always"....i cried silently hearing this...cause it's so true...no matter what i always know that she always supports....in my everyway...

Love you Mom...

One of my resolutions...comes true...

It was only 'bout 5 days ago, when i and my sinfulfaces friends got together @ avenue Plangi. We decided that we would have that "rendevouz" earlier, cause we all had different agenda for the new year's eve.

As always, Dian, Sari, Haris, Jj (Sop's bf), Sophie, Tony, and I had a night full of laughter, we just love to jest to each other...and then laughing so hard...it's kind of fun u know...we don't have to talk bout serious things...mostly bout our everyday lives, bout men and women, sometimes bout our work too, but that's rarely.

On last thursday, as the new year came closer, we were talking about our resolutions for 2006. We went one by one...including me...and, mine u already knew from my previous post, one of them is "GETTING A NEW JOB".....without further saying....IT CAME TRUE!!!!.....

I got an email last night, which i just read this morning...offering the job that i've been waiting for for these last few weeks. I had underwent 2 interviews, last one with the CEO himself...finally they give me the offering package. Well...to tell u the truth..the salary is not as much as I have expected...but one can never have it all, right....i've been thinking over and over, and I still have more advantegous from this offer. Not to mention that I get a higher job level, one which I've been dreaming of before i turn 30..., it's also an MNC which I believe will give me more knowledge and skilss for my future career.

And, to quote what Tony elaborated to me this morning when I asked for his advise.."1st, my new year resolution for a new job is now REALIZED, 2nd his advise to me @Avenue that I should push my luck to reach a supervisory level before i reach 30 is now REALIZED, and 3rd the opportunity to gain more knowledge, especially from a multinational company is now also REALIZED"

Besides, one could never ask for more....cause "Opportunity never knocks ur door twice"...so guys....wish me the best of luck, okay....for me to start this new year with a brand new job and brand new life...and that this year will bring all the best thing for everyone...amin.

Small things that aren't small at all

Sabtu tgl 30 Des 05 kmrn, gue and sodara2 gue sempet keluar rumah. Bukan dalam rangka to celebrate the new year tp buat birthday dinner salah satu kakaknya ipar gue...soo...sabtu sekitar jam 7 kita udh jalan dr rumah menuju daerah Mayestik...kena macet di Otista, akhirnya sampe juga ditempat yang dimaksud sekitar jam 08.30 malem. Sampai sana semua udh lengkap, even sodara gue yg berangkatnya belakangan malah udh sampe duluan, rupanya lewat jalan2 tikus.

Acara mulai, berdoa, pesen2 makan, makan besar, ngobrol2, sampai akhirnya ada acara potong kue. Gag lupa juga photo2. Sekitar jam 10.30, acara kelar...keluarga gue mutusin buat langsung pulang kerumah, soalnya ponakan gw yg masih baby ada dirumah. Sementara yg lain ada yg langsung nerusin acara taun baruannya ke salah satu tempat clubbing di Gatsu, n ada juga yg napsu pengen liyat kembang api di Monas.

Disepanjang jalan pulang, gw liyat banyak banget pedagang terompet taun baru...ada yang mangkal ada juga yang keliling naik sepeda. Batin gue tertohok banget, udh mo jam 12 malem, tp dagangan masih banyak aja...kebayang, berapa banyak rezeki yang udah mereka dapetin malem itu...gimana mereka mo kasih makan sama keluarga mereka???....di sisi yang lain...gw juga mikir, orang yang beli terompet pasti juga semakin berkurang....dengan banyaknya bencana dan tragedi di negeri kita, kayaknya gag "tega' banget buat ngerayainnya....meskipun gag menutup mata juga, orang yang berhura2 juga tetep aja banyak...meski kita juga gag bisa bisa nyalahin mereka....

Kalau udah kayak gini...berasa sedih bgt, kayaknya gag adil bgt (hmmm...i know...Allah SWT Maha adil)...kayaknya..karena gue ngeliat dr kacamata gue, sebagai salah satu umatNya....gag ngerti juga knp pemerintah dengan "pejabat2nya" tega tetep tega ngeliat hal yang kayak gini...ketidakadilan dimana2....mungkin emang susah kl kita ngarepin yg gede2 buat berubah...at least yang bisa kita lakuin mungkin yah buat satu perbedaan kecil yang dimulai dr diri kita sendiri.....care to give any idea...?????

Happy New Year...2006

Happy New Year 2006...

May the new year bring health, joys and happiness into our lives...aminnnn

Gag terasa, tahun 2005 udh berlalu, padahal feels like it was just yesterday when we celebrated the new year of 2005. As always, tiap awal tahun, kita biasa bikin resolusi...yang dalam perjalanan waktu, bisa aja ada yg tercapai, ada juga yang enggak dengan segala keterbatasan kita sebagai human being.

Tahun ini, gw juga bikin bbrp resolusi buat diri gw sendiri....yang gue harap merupakan yang terbaik buat gue. Gue pengen dapet kerjaan baru...pengen dapet jodoh...hehehehhe....std yah...yang pasti pengen jadi manusia yang lebih baik, buat gue sendiri, buat keluarga gue, buat orang2 terdekat gue...juga buat semua orang yang kenal sama gue.

Pengen banget bisa nurunin kadar "esmosi" gue yang kata beberapa orang masih sering meledak2...yah, namanya juga proses, gag semuanya bisa berubah dalam sekejap mata. Begitu juga gue...butuh waktu buat bisa jadi lebih sabar dan lebih dewasa*trust me, i'm working on this, hard...cause i want you to see me more than just skin deep, and whatever i did or said, sometimes i didn't mean it, hope u understand me better*

Pengen jd anak yang berbakti sama bokap gue...I love u so much Dad...no matter what i do, what i say and what u do...Pengen jd orang yang lebih baik buat temen2 gue...

Satu lagi, gue pengen lebih rajin berdoa n mendekatkan diri sama Allah SWT...

Amin amin amin...
