November, rain, and everything in between

God is so full of surprises… I love you God, more than anything in this world and beyond… Contohnya malam ini, jam dipergelangan tangan saya menunjukkan pukul 21:49… tapi di toll Jagorawi tidak bergerak, entah ada apa didepan sana… sementara argo taxi sudah mencapai angka 51500 duh… gimana mo kaya raya hidup begini modelnya… ofcourse I can take 56 yang lebih ramah dompet tapi malam ini hujan dan saya mesti bawa pulang lappy…
I’m not unemployed okay… but unlike many other young girls in this city… *celingak celinguk*…. I’m not that loaded :D

…………

I met Bunga this afternoon… janjian jam 4 sore di Setiabudi Building, saya terlambat satu jam. Not because I’m not reliable *sigh* …the meeting was scheduled to be finished by 4, tapi jam lima kurang sepuluh baru bubar… jadilah gw kayak nerd banyak tentengan tergopoh-gopoh a la Ugly Betty buru2 nyari taxi terus cabut.

.........

Anak itu sedang duduk dengan manis di cakery shop, minum something that looks like iced cappuccino and a slice of pizza *I guess…*, dia menghabiskan snacks sore itu kemudian kami langsung menuju 21, cuma ada 3 film sore ini, Casino Royale, Harsh Times dan film hantu murahan a la Indonesia… berhubung saya udah nonton that blonde Bond, jadi nggak ada pilihan lain selain Harsh Times (don’t ask me ‘bout the movie… it’s just… not recommended) we should’ve went to Hollywood KC dan nonton Black Dahlia ya Bung… yeah whatever…

Selesai nonton we had dinner di salah satu Malaysian restaurant… lumayan lah… you know, di Setiabudi Building nggak ada restaurant enak menurut gw… selain Ming… tapi harganya asli nggak sopan… so, forget about that… unless you are broke but a snob-lifestyler…

And then we headed to Starbucks… you know what… frankly, I really really hate to buy all their products ever since I found out that they’re supporting the blody zionist… but what can I say? I need their hi-speed wireless Internet access people… (which happen to be ‘error’ right as I got my cup of hot tea ready…). Nice. Very nice. It’s a Palestinian curse! There are few choices of cafés which also offers Wi-Fi access, Amadeus for instance… but we’re too lazy.

…………

Saya tidak punya banyak ‘tempat curhat’ untuk relieve stress. Hanya ada tiga. Septi, Ade dan Bunga… udah lama nggak ketemu any of them, so many stories, complains and gossips to laugh and cry… jadi saya seneng banget bisa ketemu Bunga, having a private time, just me and her..., the tea, the cozy sofa and the rain outside...

You are a tough girl, I’m so very proud of you Bung… no doubt about it.
I’ve learned my lesson and I screwed up too.


Kalau curhat sama si Bungtje ya… dia hanya mendengarkan cerita saya, ketawa ketawa pas ceritanya konyol…, unbelievably-jayus atau bodoh-sedunia… kalau ceritanya appalling she just gave me that impish grin… that’s what I love about her… she’s quirky and unique and she's not fond of giving advises.

Tomorrow she’ll depart back to Jogja… I’m gonna miss her… kalau jadi ke Jogja untuk dateng ke wedding-nya… mmm…, temennya temen, (which happen to be her friend as well) then I’ll see you again soon.

Hey, I hate staying at the hotel… would you be kind enough to share your bed for a couple night Bung? ^-^

Life is tough, and this endless rambling have to be ended… I’m reaching home.
Nite nite everyone.

I miss you already

A Piece Of Heaven In Sungai Gerong

I was just wondering.. how does it feel like to live in a cozy house like this...









where you can feel the wind blowing thru your hair in warm afternoon...
sitting on the terrace looking at the view...
watching the birds fly around...
looking out over Sungai Musi with fresh croissants and a cup of caffè latte...


hmm... that’s what we call ‘a piece of heaven’

Need Some Remedies

why can't i be a nggak neko-neko person just like any other woman in this world?

What-Car-Should-You-Drive?

You Should Drive a Saturn Sky

You're sleek and smooth, and you need a car to match your hot persona.
Besides, sometimes you want your top up - and sometimes you want it down.



Perfetto.

I Will Look After You Forever....







They could’ve been happier… if they lived with parent/s…
where they could feel the warmth of having a family…
nurtured by love...
surrounded by care…

I’ve been asking myself lately… should I adopt?
According to Surat Edaran Mahkamah Agung No.6 Tahun 1983 yes I can adopt…
we don’t have to be married to become adoptive parent… this is a very good news for sure… :D.
I agree with what adopting.org wrote on their website..
“Children do not need "perfect" parent/s - they need one or more caring and committed individuals willing to meet their needs and to incorporate them into a nurturing lifetime family environment”…

The question now is… can I be good mom?… I know adoption is not a simple thing… the adoptive parents are responsible for the adoptee’s life for the rest of their life… their well-being, health, school and many other… although I have the motive for adoption I don't think it’s enough.
I know I should seriously think about it before making any decission… because I kinda think saving the lives of my own children is a selfish act… because I saved them for myself… I can save the live of these children as well…

so... why wouldn’t I do it?

A Million Little Pieces



From what I have read so far, it is worth every penny..
you should read it too...

Fireworks..
oh..
I'm so in love with you..

Tante Zuraida & Inalum

Ceritanya waktu mudik kemarin... saya sempat berkunjung ke rumah Tante Zuraida di daerah Tanjung Gading... Tante Zu ini adalah sahabat keluarga kami.. She is...
a mother..
a hardworker..
a very caring person..

Kami datang kerumah 'dinas'nya di kompleks PT Inalum (Indonesia Asahan Aluminium)... karena kebetulan Tante Zu adalah contractor penyedia catering disitu... rumah 'dinas'nya itu sederhanaaa banget... disebelahnya berdiri dapur yang cukup luas dengan peralatan masak yang segede-gede bagong. Tante Zu memang jago masak dan cekatan... dalam tempo 10 menit sreng sreng sreng.. jadi deh kami disuguhin makan siang ayam goreng tepung, ikan gembung bumbu kari, balado udang & kentang yang rasanya yummy banget...

Aku terharu sekaligus salut mendengar flashback perjuangan hidup Tante Zu... semua 'cobaan hidup' yang selama ini aku keluhkan jadi tidak berarti sesudah mendengar cerita hidupnya..

Tante Zu punya anak perempuan namanya Bebi... Bebi yang nggak kalah ramahnya sama mamanya itu menawarkan diri untuk jadi guide kita2... keliling liat2 isi kompleks Inalum yang luas banget... aku dan adikku ya seneng buanget thoo... kita foto-foto.. ketawa ketiwi... naik sepeda motor boncengan bertiga (sumpah baru sekali ini melanggar aturan.. bertiga...? with no helmet? oooh.. so un-me) muter-muter kompleks... karena itu didalem kompleks jadi ya udaranya seger banget... nggak kayak di Jakarta...naik motor sebentar aja muka berasa abis didempul debu.. :P

Pokoknya kita semua having a wonderful time disitu.. norak norak bergembira? Pastinyaa.. enjoy the pictures! :P
