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..:(((…
Finally..our very own car, our very own first car in Indonesia..:D. It's big and it looks tough, just the kind of car I like, the kind that can make me forget about the reliable Honda Pilot that we used to own. This is, when we first stepped foot back here, the first car I saw that I said I was gonna get if we were to buy a car, and it’s ours now. Hopefully, it brings many good memories and other good things for the whole family, just like what the name suggests..:D
Now..off to shop for a car insurance!

Rencananya kan kita pengen beli mobil, we’ve been eyeing on one car from Toyota. Hari Jum’at kemaren mampir dong ke dealernya di Jl. Pramuka, pengen liat mobilnya, nanya nanya and possibly sekalian inden juga karena mereka nggak ada ready stock, jadi harus nunggu satu dua bulan.
Ternyata yaa, contoh unitnya aja nggak ada..gimana coba orang mau inden kalo nggak pernah liat mobilnya sedetil detilnya..palingan selama ini juga liat seliweran aja di jalanan. Pernah juga liat di pameran sekali sama punya temen sekali tapi kan tetep yaa pengen liat lagi. Trus ya udah kita liat liat brosurnya aja, trus minta dong brosurnya satu untuk dibawa pulang. Ehh ternyata brosurnya pun nggak boleh dibawa pulang, tinggal satu satunya katanya. Ya ampun mbak..kita kan mau beli mobil..bukan sekedar beli sepatu yang maen asal bungkus aja, we need detail information, we need something to assure us that this is what we’re looking for and we want to inspect and test drive the car before we want to plunge a good chunk of money out of our bank account.
How can they expect to get a commitment from potential customer kalo begitu caranya siih? And how expensive it is to print a stack of brochures for a company as big as Toyota??..Kok merki banget yaa…mana nggak mau nyediain satu display pun, mendingan untuk dijual aja kali yah pikirnya?

Someone just emailed me regarding a promising opportunity that she has just missed. Not a pleasant feeling, rasanya pasti gemesshh banget ngebayangin sesuatu yang kayanya within reach tapi trus hilang begitu aja.
Tapi yah..memang begitu ya, whenever you have a brilliant idea, anytime you’re thinking about something, it’s possible that someone else is also thinking about it. Someone who will act fast and will not think twice.
Most of the time, when we want to start something, we always think that the timing is not right, that we don’t have enough time, that we don’t have enough money, tools or resource to build it all from scratch.
But I think I have learned that time will never come knocking our door, we have to find it in between the 24 hours that we have and we don’t need the complete tools to start. We just need to start n.o.w. Start with what we have around us and work with it. We’ll find better tools along the way and without we know it..not only we’ll have everything we needed in the beginning, we’ll also have something that is taking off.

That’s how far Nduti’s new office is from where we live. How long does it take to get there? On a good day, it takes about 35 minutes, on average it will probably take about an hour. On a bad day though, it can take up to two hours.
Back in STL, 8 miles is a distance from our house to Emerson Park Metro Station.
How long does it take to get there?
10 minutes flat, anytime of the day!
So what does that mean? That means time is really precious here in Jakarta because we have less time to do things now since we already spend so long on the road. It’s a sad fact considering that we actually have more things to do here than in STL. Time management skill is a thing that we need to excell in now.
..*sigh*..so many things to do, so little time.

Di kasirnya Gramedia waktu gue kesana kemaren disediain tumpukan peta mudik. Being addicted to maps, of course I took one home. Gue emang paling seneng liat liat peta, kayanya nggak pernah bosen karena selalu nemu daerah baru walaupun sebenernya yang diliat ya itu itu juga, emang dasarnya gue aja yang nggak teliti kali yaa..:P.
Yang paling nyenengin itu kalo lagi plan on road tripping, semangat deh liat peta nya, cari rute yang paling enak, paling deket atau paling bagus pemandangannya. Pas liat peta mudik kemaren, ternyata gue tetap merasakan excitement yang sama. Kirain senengnya cuma liat peta negara lain aja..hehe..ternyata peta Indonesia nggak kalah serunya deh. Langsung terlintas untuk nyetir ke Yogya pas abis lebaran. Rutenya Jakarta, Cikampek, Jatibarang, Cirebon, Tegal, Pekalongan, Semarang, trus bisa lewat Salatiga atau Magelang, baru deh sampe ke Yogya. Nanti bisa juga mampir ke Solo atau bablas ke Blora sekalian.
Kebayang mau belanja batik, mau ngajak Jibran ke Candi Borobudur/Prambanan dan ke Parang Tritis, ketemu FDers di Yogya (Thomas, Lala, Opi dan kayanya ada lagi deh beberapa), jalan jalan sepanjang Malioboro dan lain lainnya.Dulu waktu umur setaun sebenernya Jibran juga udah pernah ke Yogya, tapi kayanya dia udah nggak inget deh.
Nduti is going to start work on the 13th, dan setelah itu nggak ada cuti sampe setelah setahun kerja. Jadi kalo mau pergi ke luar kota ya harus sebelum masuk kerja. Makanya gue kemaren asal nyeletuk aja kita jalan jalan dulu. Kebetulan pas lagi sahur juga papanya tau tau ngajak jalan jalan ke Yogya (terinspirasi dari peta mudik yang gue bawa tampaknya) yang pastinya langsung disambut baik oleh para krucils yang langsung repot sendiri. Kayanya sih brangkuts deh kita. Sik asik, me super duper excited.

Got good news last Thursday. Honestly, it wasn’t all that surprising because we were hopeful about it..:D. It was just a matter of time to make it official.
I’m happy for him. He got the job in the industry he’s so passionate about, in the kind of company he was aiming for. He landed the position he’s been dreaming of and got the salary that he was expecting. He even got to pick the starting date he wanted. Boy got everything he asked.
