pink skies all over again

yes people, the mcdreamy addiction is still on. I'm so mezmerized by his charms and kindness, so fascinated by his intelligence and his unbelievably handsome face (hewl yeah!!)

huahhh.. ko Tuhan baek banget yahhh sama guaa.. not only that HE creates this beautiful, annointed, so close to perfection human being, HE also allows him to cross path wif me... sighhh....

So, dear friends, please accept my apology for turning down all of the invitations for lunch, dinner, coffee, movie, goodness me, i dont even say yes to a painting exebition and salon and midnight shopping spree di sensi . I am totally out off my mind. i know, i commit the cardinal sin of abandoning my friend for a hot, correction super hot, date.

I spend time wif him, all the time, from lunch to coffee, to dinner, to coffee again pokoknya tiap hari full on deh. And this is what i hate abt jakarta.. why the city is so big?? and macet?? why do people have to live far away from each other??? kalo di bandung it will only take you 20 mins to go from bandung utara to selatan. but yesterday we went all the way from kemang to pantai indah kapuk, it was like... D'oh!! forever!!!

but well, seperti mami papi bilangg... kalo lagi fall in lurrveee... even 3 hours in traffic feels like not long enough ahahhahaha... it was like, "We're home already?? Damn!" So yeahhh... by this time, i should have been calling all of my bestfriends to give them the detail of the detail of my mcdreamy obsession... i've told cha2, fely, tirzah, i even called buruts and christine. so, if i have not called you yet, stand by the fone. san, you'll get the details when we meet up nex wik yah.. and bob! if you want to kno, you call me, bro! poi, since i hardly meet you, tanya cha2 ajah deh... okay, who did i miss?? oww hot mama, you can ask tirzah if you are not buzy watching jerry springer hahaha.. anyway, please be happy for me, and please pray for me...

how i meet mcDreamy

btw, before i start, have you watched that show, how i meet your mother. Well, if you have not, go to kemang foodfest and buy the DVD immediately. It is funnier than FRIENDS, i swear on Gucci. Usually i would spend 2x12 hours to do a DVD marathon to finish every DVD that i purchased. I think i spend 4 days to watch the whole 2 seasons of Prison break. But with this series, it is so good that i dont want to spill it out. I want to indulge on it. So i spend 6 days, one disc per day. I drink Dry Martini and eat Lindtt Dark chocolate while watching it. What can i say? something that great is worth the wait haha.

Anyway, the storys goes up like this,

i was sitting down with my girlfriends having lunch. we were talking and laughing and were having a good time. Then he enters the room. The room is crowded and it was quite noisy. But then he looked at me, I looked back and tried not to fall from my chair. (Hey come on! he is drop dead gorgeous. All the girls in the room were drooling when he walked into the room) He was talking to other people, and then i was having trouble tuning into the conversation. My mind was on the other part of the room. He looked at me, the second time. Now, i am trying not to choke the meat in my mouth. He is still gorgeous, for goodness sake. He was walking towards my crowds, and i swear this time i almost fell from my chair, due regards to a sudden nervous attack. But then he smiled and asking for my name. I was smiling, and hoping that the spinach did not stuck in between my teeth, shook his hand and told him my name.

From then on, the story turns out to be very interesting. If you happen to be one of my friends whom i called in the middle of the night terus aku curhat2in kaya orang gila, saking aku stressnya dealing and trapped in this game, well you might say that "very interesting" is an understatement. But yeah, things are going well wif McDreamy and we are up to "un-date Date" number 10 so far. and if i happen to be together with MCDreamy at last, i would ask him his side of the story. otherwise, just remember this as the story when saint kryptonite almost fall from her chair because she is astound by the presence of a drop dead gorgeous man.

i'll say oui!

AAhh.. kenyang bangettt.. baso malang definetely tastes good! MSG rocks! i wondered when wud i be starting to live a healthy life again? humm.. been a while since i last blogged (considering the fact that i used to post writings forthnightly) Anyhow, life's been greaatt.. See, this is for all of the single girls out there, SINGLEDOM ROCKS! well, i love to be in a relationship, and if people ask me to choose between being single or being in a relationship, i would choose relationship at any given day. But, now that if you have not found Mr.right, please do your fabulous self a favour; Choose singledom other than settling with some mr right now. YOu know what the best thing about being single is, it's easy, and you'll always be fabolous. Relationship is great but it requires many compromies, many hardworks, many forgiveness, many patience, but when you are single, all you need to do is just be yourself, and everything is fabulous. So, i'm enjoying every single solitary day of being single, because i sense that this good thing wont last very long (haha!) When i told Angie last night, she's like "jadi maksud loe, loe udah mau jadian lagi gitu??"

Ahh.. i'd been treating myself to extravagant food retreat in the past 7 days because my niu set of friends happen to become food and wine lovers. if any of you fancy french cuisine, there is this awesome place that i just been to last night. It is located in Cipete and the name is BokaBoku. My dear Yasleen, she's one truly droit food hunter and she found this tiny restaurant in the middle of nowhere and it happened to have the best escargot in the city. Teams up wif my niu fren monsieur Jabin the first (btw he wants to name his kids jabin the second and jabin the third), whom is great food critique and dinner commentator (and preacher and discussion moderator as well haha)Together these 2 people have taken up my dining experience to a new level.

AAAhhh... banyak acara for the next 2 wks yaahh??? margaretha and Sammy's wedding, trip to surabaya wif San and anto (may be), trup to Singapore wif Monique and Yasleen (another may be) U turn Concert and Narrowgate dinner (still deciding) another great date with Mc.Dreamy (definetely coming) and the best is still yet to come

WHY

• treating someone nice is different to treating someone right
• i just realise that physics does exist in everyday life: the law of momentum (if you have got a positive word of mouth, it exegerates to your advantage. but if you have a bad word of mouth, the momentum will harm your reputation by double the force) , the transfer of energy (energy is neither lost or destroyed, it is transfered from one form to another. The bigger the energy that i carry, the bigger the aura and energy that i am transforming to other while i am communicating with them. Therefore, increase the forces within) ---> hey trust me, i got a distinction in physics class in year 11 haha
• it is easier to start than to maintain
• it is easier to break than to maintain
• the rewards on waiting on God is worth it.

back into You

how fast cud it be yah? udah hari sabtu lagi. so exhausting. cape banget. kurang tidur, kurang makan, kurang terawat in the past 7 days. geez. i just realised that when life is moving in a fast pace, sometimes you take everyday life for granted. You dont really think about what is going on, who you are, or even be conscious of what you are doing. You just roll into activities after activities and by the time you got home, you were like "What have i been doing in the last 24 hours? ko udah malem lagi?" This is always happening to me when i am trapped in a busy schedule, like all of the activities in your life is timed by the hours. 10-11 meeting A, 12- 13 meeting B, 14-16 meeting C, you hardly can squeeze time to breathe.

Yahhh sekarang sih berasanya kaya gitu lagi, only that instead of having meeting A,B, and C, i am more of a ngopi sama A, lunch sama B, telepon sama C, shopping sama D, nyalon sama E, then followed by dinner sama F and movie sama G. You think that's relaxing? well, you guess wrong! Talking to different people continuously in one day is exhausting. Sama ajah kaya kerja EO ato pi-are ato marketing. BEcause you dont just show up and be there, you actually have to "be there". You listen to them, converse intelligently (yes, btw we are still hot on stock market and bonds) halaaahh... i have been lying down on bed at 3 in the morning and thinking, "what a hekk of a day?" PAdahal cuman maen doang sharian, tapi tubuh jiwa raga ko kaya abis diperes abis2an?? humm...

but then again, i am thankful for being in a fast paced life period at the moment. though the other day, i went to bed at 3 and found myself udah bangun jam 7 pagi. I catched up on my morning prayer and saat teduh, only then i got the opportunity to really "get into me". Praying is a good way to remember who you are, because i am sure that many times we forget who we are, to see the big picture of what is happening in your life, to anyalise your goals and see whether you are still on track or not. And when you really know the answers to all of those issues, i think you wouldnt feel lost eventhough trapped in a fast pace life. You think?

hello world

Have been so capeekk.. so exhausted lately.. udah 9 hari nih.. gak pulang ke rumah before 1 in the morning!! i need to catch up on my beauty sleep!! pegi maeenn terus.. seru sihh.. i cannot complain.. finally i got an occasion to wear my "spandex" dress. It looks good though, since i've dropped couple of pounds due regard to tired-ness. Ow have i told you that i cropped my hair supershort? I'm trying to pull out "Vic beckham" look, skinny gal in le smoking, black vest and super tight white shirt, of course wif her brunette straight-dropped bop hair. so loving this new style.

Anyway, i'm so enjoying hanging out wif these grupz of friends. You know, once you passed the awkward moments, started to bond, started to get close and feel comfortable being in a new group, once you have turned from a new-comer to a regular, and started to become one of us. It is good. You want to see them everyday, have so much things to talk about and since it is the initial stage, you have not seen the bad traits of you friends, you think they are perfect and you love them so much. yah, friendship is basically just like relationship, only that you could have more than one love interest. haha.

So, i have been seeing my niu friends 24/7. my day would start at 7, since most of my friends work in Jalan sudirman, they all woke up at 6 and they managed to give the kemang girl wake up calls, and we talked all day, we meet for lunch, then for coffee breaks, then for nyalon or shopping di PI or PS, then big group dinner, then evening coktails, then followed by late night fone calls. (See, apa bedanya sama orang pacaran??)

and, claudia, bobske, burut, cha2, popoy, if you read this, please notify that my dream has come true. i have found my MCDREAMY. I've called my mum yesterday morning and told her that i have found the impossible dreamboat. haha. the funnier thing is, my exboyfriend is the one who sets us up. i mean how could this be any crazier? see girls, that's what i am saying about maintaining good friendships with your ex, you never know if years later the bastard broke your heart might introduce you to the next big thing. And all in all, Mcdreamy had asked me out.. AAA!! who wants to accompany me to shop for new dress and shoes? Now, please pray hard, and to all of my girlfriends out there, please get your praying equipments out and start fasting and get down on your knees and pray for me hahahahaha.

i'm home..

sitting down in my office at 12:45 and told myself, "Finally back in civilisation". I hate the first days coming back from holidays, because i still am wishing that the holiday is not over. I love the fact that i finally got to see indri gautama in person. I have huge respect for cum laude student/sucessful business woman/annointed preacher who can deliver a three hours sermon in perfect English. It's worth the 2 hours traveling to Bogor over the weekend.

Actually the 3 days retreat had hooked me up with a new set of friends, the overseas educated/young professionals/ christian breed. I was like, "this is home!" I am so thanking Silvia for introducing me to these people and calling me persistently to come to this retreat. I imagine how much i would hav missed if i did not go. See, the first years when i went back from perth, i was nagging and whining and crying my eyeballs out to my girls, telling them how hard it is to find people with the same passion and background as you are. The passionate christians are not so business minded, and the smart cookies who bring home the bacon (i ended up dating some of em) are party animals, and most of the people who go to the same boutique and gala dinners with you, do not speak english and can only talk about cosmetics. I was driving myself to insanity. But Thank God, i could finally meet a group of people who (constantly) talking about the stock market over the dining table and gather every Thursday for prayer meeting.

Yuukss.. so if anyone ask me what i'd be doin in the next couple of days, in the near future, i'll be wif them. Learning about the stock market (since that's always be the main conversation topic), learning how to play piano (since they ask me to play in the gathering, and D will teach me how to), learning more about Christianity (since pastor Jani is always present wherever we go) and be inspired, be stimulated, be motivated to grow.

*Yah yah.. you all know that i'm a person who is gak mau kalah.. i hav to at least keep up wif my friends, so guess what i'm doing this morning: I gathered all the business papers in the past 7 days, and studied the fluctuations of shares, dollars and index in BEJ haha.. Geex i've never studied those tables diligently even back during the the times of economic exam.*

It has only been one day since i unpack my trunk, i havent even send my clothes to the laundry, i've already got loads of holiday invitations.. ARGh!! mau pegi pisann.. tapi jatah bolosnya udah abis?! gimana dong!

• Mr. Big is going to Spore for Singapore great Sale (and the JET concert)
• Silvia is leaving for perth next week (care for indonesia concert by mr.I Yudhoyono),
• Seni is leaving for Melbourne on June (for the release of "Kado KEnzo" movie)
• Tirzah is going to Sydney on July (for hillsongs conference)
• and Andrew is planning this bali trip on August..

Huahh.. Jalan2 tiap bulan!! bayarnya pake apaa euy.. kapan gua nabungnya yaahh??
