Baru aja Jehan bisa nyanyi "Dendong..mana mana", si Mbah Suripnya udah pergi. Mungkin seperti orang orang kebanyakan, gue juga awalnya cenderung sinis sama si Mbah ini dan bingung sama phenomena nya. Abis kayanya nggak jelas gitu, siapa sih nih orang? Kok gayanya serem gitu? Tapi ternyata tak kenal memang berarti tak sayang. I've grown to like him since then, nggak tau banyak tentang dia juga sih, tapi denger cerita tentang bagaimana dia yang mendadak kaya raya cukup inspiring juga lah...and he is loved by soo many children across the nation. For me personally, one of the meaning of success is to be loved by many children. And he is not just loved by children but also adults. Di rumah gue lagi ada sekitar 25 tukang dan kerjaannya nyanyi Tak Gendong rame rame sambil tertawa riang gembira. Berarti, suksesnya dobel kan. Combine that with the billions he has in the bank I would say he had a remarkable end of life. And he achieved everything effortlessly, at least that's what he come accross as, a laid back 'Mbah'. May he rest in peace!
Living in the US is different with living in here. Well, of course, especially with the fact that my role and my responsibilities has changed a little. I was a stay at home mom back then, taking care of the house and the three of us. There was nothing else I needed to do outside of my role as a mom and as a wife, and I depended on no one. Just myself. In here, I'm not a 100% full time mom, I have works to do outside and I can do that because I have the support system. My mom, to watch the kids when I'm away, the maid to make sure the house is always clean and we have food to eat, the nanny to take care of the kids, the driver, to take me anywhere I need to go. All of them is interconnected so when one of them is missing that means I have to alter the plan. That's how depended I am on them...:(
The situation in these past few days haven't been on my side. The nanny is sick, I haven't even seen her the last 2 days cause she just sleep helplessy in her room (mom took her to the doctor today though). The house is super messy cause we just moved in, boxes and stuff is everywhere. I have a lot of works to, FD-wise. But I don't have a land internet connection yet, Telkomsel Flash is unbelievably slow. Nduti is sick as a puppy, his temperature is pretty high. And when Jibran went home from school, his temperature skyrocketed too, he said he was dizzy and he felt warm too...:(. Meanwhile, it's the first day of my period and I made a dumb mistake by chewing a gum on the tooth that has untreated cavity and it hurt like hell!! I even cried for a good one minute, not just because of the toothache but by everything that has spiraled down since this morning..:(. I felt like ripping my hairs off.
Thank God I feel much better now (eventhough my throat and my nose is giving me annoying flu symptomps, hopefully they'll go away tomorrow morning). Let's hope nduti and Jibran feel much better too tomorrow.

I just spend the last hour trying to install wordpress for Blackberry. It won't let me add this blog, instead it gives me the 401 error message.
I'm typing this from the blackberry browser, a little too overwhelming. But I'm lying down due to a sudden nausea so I cannot do anything else anyway, just trying to maximizing the use of GPRS connection that's never been avaliable before in my room since I moved in a week ago.

Iyap, udah bulan Mei aja dan tetep yaa belum bisa rutin nulis..:-(. Bahkan password untuk login ke wordpressnya aja lupa lupa terus..
Anyway, sekarang Minggu sore, lagi di rumah Pondok Indah, nungguin orang-orang balik dari Cilegon. Pengen J-CO froyo, toppingnya seperti biasa, longan sama kacang kenari..hihi, almond itu kacang kenari kan?
I think my monthly guest is about to come, aslii keram keram gini perutnya.
Weekend ini cukup menyenangkan. Jumat treatment di Itje and then a little shopping spree with Ella at PIM, Sabtunya makan di Red Duck FX with my high school friends, Aan, Popi, Mina and Ratih. It feels warm to see the familiar old faces, the ones that you spent your days together, the ones that so close they feel like your family..:). Hari Minggunya cuma belanja di Ranch Market aja. We might go to PIM before going back to Cemput.
Semalem ada Indonesian Movie Award, dan Laskar Pelangi banyak dapet nominasi, which is not surprising at all. Filmnya bagus..dari aktingnya, soundtracknya, sinematografinya dan juga pesan pesan moral yang ada di dalamnya. Film ini juga berperan dalam meningkatkan pariwisata dalam negri. Pasti banyak banget yang langsung pengen jalan jalan ke Belitung setelah nonton film ini. Semalem juga ada pemain-pemain Laskar Pelangi yang anak anak, they looked so cute with their suit on. Just like them, I will dream big and keep my dreams alive. Hope you will too.

I'm not a bitchy person, I think I'm pretty tolerant when it comes to people shortcomings, but today..I couldn't hold it anymore...I.s.n.a.p.p.e.d o.u.t!!. Like really mad for a good 1 minute, I was screaming and feeling like throwing everything on my sight...:(. It's scary, you don't want to see me go crazy like that, even I scared of my self because I don't sound or look like my self. I didn't lost control but I could if I really let it out. Good thing I was carrying Jehan so I had to watch my way around afraid I might hurt her.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you or anything, but I just wanted to make a point, to wake you up from your hopeless days, hoping you can turn things around and make something worthwhile out of your time because you need to, and you have to, for your own benefits, for your own future.

Udah beli domainnya dari dua minggu yang lalu tapi mana...postingan baru juga belum ada..huh. Susah deh kalo banyak maunya tapi tidak bisa memanage waktu dengan baik. Padahal hari ini nggak ada kerjaan banyak sih, I updated FD, reply some emails, wrote notes on the MOU and some other things. Did monthly grocery shopping at Carrefour this afternoon too. Senangnya grocery shopping siang siang atau pagi pagi dikala weekdays, no one is waiting in line at the checkout counter...blissful.
Tomorrow is the opening of the photo exhibition by Nicoline Patricia at Senayan City, after that is the fashion show from Fashion First. Saturday is Clinique event, but this one should only take about one hour. Can't wait for next week, or is it the week after that we're gonna have a loong loong weekend?
Anyway, I dreamt about snake two days ago, it's not the first time I dream about snake, always have one every now and then, I don't know why. Maybe because I'm petrified of something? Or maybe because deep down I'm worried about something?...I don't know. But the dream was not so bad, the two snakes were not that long, maybe about 1 meter long, the skins were pretty though, one is bright yellow with black stripes and the other one is black with some shiny jewels. I think I killed the yellow one, shot it by the neck!

Yay, finally I have my own personal space again in the world wide web. I'm determined to maintain this blog but it's gonna take a while for this to look organized and somewhat nice.
The most important thing is to get this going and start writing, like everyday no matter how piece of junk it is. I just have to make it a habit.
This post won't be a long one though since I type it from Oki's Bold and my fingers are getting sore. We're spending the weekend at his parents' so we only have 1 laptop around. I didn't bring my acer aspire because Jibran decided to bring his Nintendo Wii and I thought it's already too much things to bring for 2 nights.
Oh well, nighty night..and have a great weekend.
Btw, as usual thank you pak thomas for registering the domain and installing the wordpress.all done in a mere 30 minutes...:))

Kemaren baru denger kabar kalo seseorang baru pindah kantor, jadi dia udah tiga hari ngantor di kantor barunya, dan berarti selama tiga hari itu pula dia ngilang dari kantor lamanya. Yupe, this person started a new job without even giving a resignation letter to the old office. Padahal dia juga baru 2 bulanan kerja disitu dan seneng seneng aja sebenernya sama kerjaannya dan suasana kantornya, nggak pernah ngerasa di perlakukan secara tidak fair. So why did this person leave the office abruptly is beyond me. I mean, I can understand if there’s a better opportunity come knocking your door that you can’t pass, afraid that it might not come again. But it’s only common sense to handle the whole thing with dignity and follow the standard procedure, like giving them two week notice and say proper good byes and thankyous to everyone at work and leaving a good impression about yourself.
I believe good manners can take you faaarrr in life, especially when you’re just at the start of your career. Jakarta is small, it’s not impossible to bump into the people from the old office in the future, or to have the ex boss become your boss again. I also believe that unfinished business can create obstacle down the road. So better closed one chapter first before moving on to the next one. But hey maybe that’s just me, afterall we all have different set of standards and values for ourselves.

That this is Jakarta, not St. Louis!!!. If I need to be in Mampang at 4 then I need to leave the house at 3 o’clock, not 3.35!!. The drive from one end of Kuningan to the other end, which only takes about 5 minutes at midnight, can stretch to about 45 minutes alone. How grand!
Semalem baru dikasih tau tentang keberadaan sebuah blog, yang isinya didedikasikan untuk member member di forum karena semua postingannya tentang member member yang dianggap tercela oleh si penulis. I have to admit that I’m not a saint, but I am not that low either to breath in hatred, to make gossiping as my full time job and to purposely embarass people I know (even virtually) in a public forum and possibly create havoc in a community. Some people really do have too much time in their hands. And it’s especially dissapointing that there’s a big chance I know the master(s) behind...:(
miss miss miss writing…I really do. Tapi kenapa gue nggak pernah sempet? Am I THAT busy?? Kadang gue bingung sebenernya gue ngapain aja sih from the time I opened my eyes in the morning till I closed them at midnight? Masa segitu nggak sempetnya yah…..tapi memang bener I don’t have the freaking time..:(((…
