the day before xiong he

so, i finished work at 12, got back home and no-one's there. *sigh*
got bak from prima taste last nite at 11 and woke up at 6..
i tink i need to catch up on sum beauty sleep.
doing too much caffeine, however, unable me to do so.
so, threw myself on my black suede sofa, another full round of caffeine
watching "ceriwis, yo wizz" and they had maliq and the essentials on profile today
too interesting to be missed. i just found out ada aliran musik
namanya "neo-soul" ..uh-huh?! that's their kinda music.
whatever that is. i love them

bytheway.. we score the contract wif panasia.. haha..
too happy, cannot wait for my first class..
and this morning..i got sum pick-up lines di kantor..from tis manager who's goin to be my murid.
haa..i wouldnt expect anyone in indo to throw sum pik-up lines..lagian jm 9 pagi di kantor pula.. but well ! i'm just an ordinary human being.. biarpun getek, those kinda things do really make my day haha i'll make sure tat murid passes my class wif distinction/

"so you're the new teacher?"
"yep. nice to meet you"
"what's ur uni degree, miss?"
"commerce"
"not medicine? too bad. do you know CPR?"
"haha. no. why?"
"because you take my breath away"

gw kalah mutlak..kalah di tempat. tidak mampu membalikan serangan haha.. but no! he didnt get my number. that's one thing i learn frm my ex "dun mix business wif pleasure" hahaha --> see i'm a fast learner, babe :)

alrighty.. i tink the caffeine efect is gone now. i feel kinda sleepy. see you when i see you :)

talking fashion and feelings on friday


reading time magazine on the net, intriguing title: the 10 most powerful women in fashion. quite disappointed to find my fave anna wintour only sits in the third rank, and the olsen twins are in the fourth rank?! i was like.. no way.what the?! it is acceptable to say arnault of LV, aerin lauder, and kawabuko of comme des garcons are part of the list. but olsen twins? what about kate moss or my SJP. anyway, since the first position is held by the CEO of burberry and christopher bailey is also rewarded as the most happening designers, seems like burberry is penerima award terbanyak in the fashion industry these days.

reading spore bazaar this month, feeling so sad in finding the list of 10 last season items that you have to ditch a.s.a.p. pointy shoes and 50's fashion trends are out. and i was like " no way. i'm not done with them yet!" gals, if the fashion bible declares that your so called signature style is last season and need to be ditched. will you ditch them? i'm so in dilemma. haha. especially, when your domestic fashion stylist (big momma, in my case) is saying the same thing and she threw my last seaon outfits without me even knowing it. i was looking for my SJP skirt the other day, i couldnt find it and she just turned to me and said: udah mami buang. udah ga musim atuh ceh pake gituan. nih pake ini ajah. and there, before my very own eyer, the skinny jeans and victorian shirt.

hahh.. just realising it's friday already. my day begins on Friday, my day ends on friday. i love and hate friday. i feel like having to get out of the house on friday. last friday i do really feel like it, this friday on the other hand i really want to linger on my sofa wif a capucinno and let the hours go by. "masa wiken di rumah lin. malu2in bantal ah!" and there comes pressure. apparently, the socialisters of bandung do party everyday of the week. i was tryng to keep up with these people. they are all like the energizer bunnies. work from 8 to 6, istirahat bentar, then makan jam 8, ngafe jam 10, then hit the club sampai matahari terbit. salut, salut! ga tau dehh energy dari mana.. gw mah takk mampuu.. but yeah, since it is friday anyway, no harm in joining in. love hangin' out wif them anyway: full of fun full of energy.

haa..!! its' 2 days before sinciah.. cannot wait. i honestly dont like the kumpul2 for hours and hours. sitting wif 20 uncles and aunties- the relatives whom i dont even know. never see their faces except on this time of the year. but yeah, seperti kata mentor gw "asal piduiteun mah apa juga gw jabanin!" haha.. afterall, i need sum subsidi bwat liburan ke perth. arrghh.. cannot wait! one month is too long to bear. i'm so counting days to meet my gals.

a woman's worth

been listing to alicia keys unplugged album in last few days. it has been a great companion while i'm stucked in a traffic jam. here's my fave:


If you treat me fairy
I'll give you all my goods

Treat you like a real woman should
Baby I know you're worth it
If you never play me
Promise not to bluff
I'll hold you down when shit gets rough
Cause baby I know you're worth it

She walks the mile makes you
smile all the while being true
Don't take for granted the passion that she has for you
You will lose if you chose to refuse to put her first
She will if she can find a man who knows her worth

learning by the books

okay, so i got complains from my friends who said they receive email everyday from friendster which content is "caroline II has updated her blog". being a "tau diri" friend that i am, i move back to my old habitat then.

okay, so it's 4 p.m in the afternoon, and i'd chosen to stay at home doing the usual: koran, kopi, harper bazaar, metro tv, fashion tv, and of course hours and hours on the net. there are two diff papers that i read every morning: kompas and Pikiran rakyat. goodness, aint the two of them show you the clear difference between jakarta and bandung!? kompas just shows you the metropolitan with all its modernitas, komunitas, activities of all the "tbk" companies, international column and all. while koran PR is a true picture of a community newspaper, bandung exclusive: the activities of dada rosada and his crew, polisi ngejar maling, seorang ibu di kampung yang diperkosa, aktivitas kampus, all those kinda things.


geez, what a difference huh?

anyway, i am still a sucker for information yang aneh2, so both of them are pretty satisfying for me to read. I found a very interesting fact in both koran today.

kompas states the founding of biochip to detect early symptoms of disease in human body, while PR today reports new founding in health industry as well : "lengkuas dan kunyit pengganti formalin" haha..

niwey, enuf learning wif all the koran and metro tv, my true passion is harper bazaar and fashion tv anyay. i started reading the mags at 2 and when i stopped reading it was 4 already. i seriously stared at one page of a model wearing gucci, channel, chloe and all of their other friends for 5 minutes. looking at the price and gasp, looking at the make up, looking at their tall and sexy body then gasp again, then reading the column by tom ford, karl lagerferd --> how do spell his name? reading all the names of the cafe and restaurant all over new york and monte carlo.

you know, it's all too jet setters for a 21 years old, but that;s the beauty of reading harper bazzar. it encourages us to dream big. man! one day i will go to monte carlo, attend Louis vuitton private party, meet anna wintour in person, have a town house and host weekly cocktail party like padma lakhsmi, doing all those glamorous things.

hey, a gurl gotta have a dream right?
