Used Condoms Imported

Hmm.. While I'm still a lil bit sober... I'm gonna write about this a bit.

Just read this morning on the news. So, it's still fresh news!

In Tanjung Priok port, the custom is holding a container (25.280 kg) full of used (?) condoms imported from Germany.

PT. RRT said that the condoms are recycled and used to make (car) wheels. But the rumors, that are going around the people, are that the condoms are for gums (eewww.. nasty!!) and hair rubber bands (ugghhh!).

But the company said that the condoms are NOT used. They are rejected condoms.
Nevertheless, Indonesian custom is trying to re-export the condoms.

One of the minister (couldn't remember her name, I think she's that Financial Minister) said that since other countries are taking advantage of Indonesia by dumping all the industrial wastes there (remember that Singapore wastes that contained radioactive thing?), we need to charge higher tax (or is it tariffs?).

Hmm... that might be one way to do it...

The point is to stop those countries to dump wastes anywhere in Indonesia. We're not a trash can, you know..=p

However.................... made you wonder though.

How in the world they were able to collect 25.8 kg container full of used condoms????

I meant, don't you guys throw it to the trash after used it?? I hope you guys did throw them away...hahahah ^^
Who doesn't have any work to do that they collect those from the trash??? hahahahhahaha... =p

Well.. if it's containing used condoms, it'll remain a mystery, I guess.....

Anyway, if you want to read the whole story, clik here.

I apologize that it's in Indonesian. (btw I hate it when ppl said you speak bahasa! We speak Indonesian! hahahha =p)

Taxi?? Hare geneee...

Taxi?? Aduh hari gini masih naek taxi!!

Hari gini mah naek helikopter cuy!! hahahaha..

Agak2 basi sih beritanya... tapi kalo mo baca lengkapnya disini.

Karena beritanya pake bahasa Indo, posting kali ini pake indo aja deh huehuehe

Siapa sih yg gak tau Jakarta macet? Siapa juga yg gak tau kalo macetnya Jakarta tambah parah?

Orang2 banyak yg jadi tua di jalan. Diam di mobil berjam2. Buang2 bensin (bensin mahal euy), abis2in pulsa telpon (iyalah, coba ngapain bengong di mobil kalo gak telp ato sms?), betis jadi gede (kebanyakan injek kopling hehe).

Hmm.. gue masih inget tuh terakhir pulang Indo 4 tahun lalu. Kita mau ke Bandung, macet abis!!
Saking macetnya kita bisa turun dulu jajan di warung, turun dari mobil buat beli makanan di abang2 trus ketinggalan mobil (udah maju ceritanya) tapi tetep aja bisa kekejar dengan jalan santai (kagak pake lari!) ahahhahaa... canggih dah... cuma ada di Indonesia =p

Ok back to topic...

Dan karena waktu itu adalah uang dan orang2 kerja untuk mengejar uang.
Kalo kelamaan di jalan, waktu/uang itu akan terbuang sia2 donk.

Maka dari itu... gunakanlah busway! (loh kok?! btw, I seriously support busway... haha) eh.. sewalah helicopter!!

Transportasi masa kini!!!

Cepat (banget!), mudah, bebas macet (jelas!), gak pake ngantri, bebas polusi (eh yg ini gak tau deh gue hehe), dan murah!

Murah?? Iya coba aja itung.
Sewa helicopter paling $1,400. Coba kalo tender bermilyar2 itu hilang.... kan lebih rugi!
Apa artinyalah hilang duit $1,400 doank mah... ahahahahha... *halah!*

Hmm... ngomong2 gue juga blom pernah nih naek heli...taon depan ah ke grand canyon hiihihihi... btw, I'm going skiing next week!! YAY! Never been skiing before.. it'll be interesting hahaha..

hahaha topicnya dah acak kadut... too much wine does this to you..
udah ah tidur, pusing gue...

The Golden Compass


Just got home from the theatre.

And the verdict is..... I like this movie!

Unlike Beowulf that put me to sleep in the middle of the movie and made my friend left the theatre halfway... ^^

Contrary to the buzz around about this movie being pro-atheism, I really don't see anything about religion or atheism at all.

Or maybe I'm just dense?? huehuheuhe..

Anyway, after the movie ended, I asked my friend where the atheism thing is. (He's an American btw) and he told me that if you think about it, the magistrate kinds of represent the Roman Catholic way and the demon being our soul.. blablabla..

I told him.. well.. who thinks about all of that when watching a movie?? Geezz.. Americans are just so extreme to the core!

So what if the author is an atheist or an agnostic? I thought this is the land of the "free"??

They banned Harry Potter because of almost the same thing like this Golden Compass. It didn't really slow down the movie theatre from taking people's money...

Anyway, it is just a MOVIE.... chill out people!

I read the reviews yesterday and most of them said that the ending sucks. That reminds me that I haven't write anything about the movie itself. But then again, do I really need to write it all for you?? Nah.. you guys can just ask Mr. Google yourself....hehehehe..

Hmm.... I don't think the ending is that bad..
Sure they left it hanging, I think there will be a 2nd Golden Compass.
Why there wouldn't be? There are 3 books after all.

Btw... the 2nd Narnia is going to be out on May next year and a few of similar movies too, such as Inkheart (I think that's the title) is gonna be out on March. And there is another movie I think, don't remember.

But next year is going to be full of these kind of movies (saw them on previews when waiting for the movie to start)... I can't wait for the next Narnia. I hope it's not a disappointment....

Viva AeroBus

Just heard this on the radio this morning on my way to work.

Next March? there will be a new airline that offers low, cheap airfare, Viva AeroBus.
But you need to go to Austin, TX first.
From there, you can go to Cancun, Mexico and some other places for as low as....






$9.99!!!!





Yes! You saw it right, no need to check your eyesight or critique me for writing the wrong number... It's $9.99... too good to be true?? who knows...


We'll find out next year, won't we?

Simple is Best

Is it?

Sick and Tired

So sick and tired of:

people who act like they know you better -- changed?! I changed?! you don't even talk to me for a few months and you dared to say i changed and not for the better?!
people who act like they know what is best for you
people who want to and try to dictate you
people who try to control you
people who pressure you to do things
people who think that you can't think for yourselves
people who think that you're still a kid and yet don't let you to grow up
people who always tell me what to do

people who try to decide everything for you and said "it's for your own good!"--my own good my ass!
people who try to decide everything for you and don't want to listen to you even though it is about your own lives.

people who try to decide everything for you and yet still said "it's up to you but...." --there's always a but... "but i think you should do this..." isn't this the same as dictate your moves?
people who try to decide everything for you but never listen to what you want or what you think.....
people who try to decide everything for you but never listen to you and yet still tell you to tell them what you want...like they're gonna really listen, since they already decided on everything, they might as well just go and do everything as well, no need to basa-basi ask you..really!

people who said that they are listening to you but always give negative inputs on everything you said -- what's the point coba?!

really...

I'm so damn sick and tired of you people!!
Just stay the hell away from me for now... it's my life after all.
You're entitled to and welcome to give all your opinions, comments, or anything. But still the last decision should be made by me!

Capeee deee.....



Losing one's confidence causes a person to fall into confusion, which is hell.

Embarrasing Incident at Tiffanys

2 weeks ago, Martin gave me a Tiffany's bracelet.
You know, the one with the chain, the one that has so many fakes.

But the clasp was broken. We need to fix it.
He said that he found it in front of Tiffany's... *whatever!*

M: Here, it's for you... found it in front of Tiffany's
J: yea rite!
M: Seriously.... here's for your bday... i don't need to give you anything else yah say....
J: Is it fake?
M: I don't think so, it's pretty heavy. But you need to fix the chain though. Bring it to Tiff and they'll fix it for you.
J: OK! Even though I don't like this kind of bracelet.. but thanks!

And so we went to Tiff store.

Went to the customer service.

CS: Can I help you?
Je: Yes, i need to fix this bracelet.
CS: Hold a moment please.

*walking to a room*

CS: Ma'am, where did you buy this bracelet?
Je: It was a gift. *I didn't lie, it really was a gift =p*
CS: I see... well, we don't use this kind of clasp for this kind of bracelet. Also, our chains are not broken like this, they are all round.
Je: I see, thank you..

DAMMIT! It's a FAKE bracelet!!!

I was soooooo damn embarrased!

Siyal lo Tin... malah ketawa lage lo pas gue keluar dari toko....

I will never ever show my face in Tiffany's Northpark Mall ever again!!!


Huhuhuhuhuhuhuhu........

Some People Are Just............

So freaking unbelievable!!!!

Really...!!

I'm sure all of you have had this kind of thinking before. *Admit it! =p*

So freaking unbelievable that made you speechless and want to slap him at the same time.

Ugghhh... I seriously want to slap this stupid guy.

In my mind, I already imagined it... Me going to Canada only to slap him hard and then go back home. Yep, I want to slap him that bad! ^^

Began when he asked me for a favor a while ago (after not contacting me for so long). He wanted to buy a Ferragamo wallet (a gift from his gf but he paid half of it anyway, at least that's what he said) but he said that they don't ship to Canada. *What? No Ferragamo store in Canada as well?!?*
And of course, him being cheap as hell, wanted that wallet to be sent to me (US) and then I need to send it there.

Fine... no problem... but you need to pay for the shipping fee that I spent.
Why can't you see it as my bday gift?
Yeeehh enak aja lu..
Ok, don't worry I'll pay the shipping fee.

Then, a couple of months after that he called me again at MSN Messenger.

Vic: Pank, my sis is coming to visit me on June.
Je: So?
Vic: She wants to buy a digital camera and a video camera.
Je: Yea, so??
Vic: But it's cheaper in the US and there's no international shipping. *Seriously, can you really believe that??* So I need you favor to send them here. I'll buy them and ask them to ship it to your place. Do you mind?
Je: No.
Vic: Why not???? Come on Pank... sweetie...blablabla *biasalah manisnya keluar*
Je: Nope, those are expensive stuffs, I don't want to be responsible for them.
Vic: You don't need to responsible for those. You only need to send them here.
Je: Still no..
Vic: Come on Pank. Don't you remember that I went to visit you out of the blue from San Fransisco? I drove for 2 days just to go there. How come you don't want to help me??
Je: Puhlease! That was like in 2004....ages ago... Ungkit2 masa lalu banget seh... heran! Harusnya gue bilang jg yah... well gue jg dah kirimin barang ke elu dulu... I don't owe anything anymore kali yah.?? D'oh!
Vic: Come on Pank... blablablabla *too tired to type and remember useless things, I'll let your imagination run*
Je: Hhhh*sigh* fine.. send them here.
Vic: That's my Jepank... blablablabla *sekali lage manisnya keluar*

So... here I am... waiting....

waiting.....


waiting.....

Still there're no damn packages!! and no news what so ever.

So, I decided to call him, even though I really didn't want to that, and asked where the hell his stuffs are. I mean, really, who's the one asking the favor here? Why do I have to call and ask him for his stuffs??
And guess what?!

This is his answer that made me want to go to Canada just to slap him hard.

Oh, yea.... I didn't buy them... We're being cheated to. Those are stuffs from China.. They're not good. I'm in Montreal right now with my family.

Lebih tepatnya lage: oiya Pank, gue gak jadi beli.. Ditipu Pank... Itu barang2 buatan China. Gak jadi beli... Buat apa.. buang2 duit aja... Cici gue jg gak jadi beli... Sekarang gue lage di Montreal neh jalan2 ama keluarga gue.

Sumpe pengen gue gampar lu Vic saat itu jg dan sekarang kalo gue inget2 lage!!

No sorry, no regrets, no nothing! AND I HAVE TO CALL HIM!!! What the hell?!

He is just so f*cking unbelievable!!

Pissed me off!!

Victor Louise you're pissing me off right now.. Please don't call me at MSN for now since I'm still so damn pissed at you! Well, not that I need to worry about that. You only call me when you need something. Bloody hell! *huehuehue kebanyakan baca novel nih bloody hell nyangkut di pala*

Sumpe deh Vic... keterlaluan abis tau gak lu!! HUH! Tolong!

Owen, sorry I didn't do the whole thing on this subject (some ppl are just so freaking unbelievable) coz this in the only thing that is in my head heuhuehuhe... Next time yah say..

Kenapa sih?

Kenapa yah kalo pacaran ngomongnya jadi aku kamu??

George Benson & Al Jarreau

Went to see their concert on June 1st at Dallas Symphony.

It's bloody awesome... huehuhehe much much better than Natalie Cole... (well duh!)

Started with a meddley (is this how you spell it?) and both of them performed.
Then it was Al's stage for about an hour.

George went out, performed a song together, and then it was George's stage.

They closed it up together.

I absolutely loveeee their sax & keyboard player/background singer and their guitar player/background singer.
The sax/keyboard player/singer is a white bald guy (Joe Turner) and the guitar player/singer is a black bald guy (Chris Walker). *What's up with bald men lately??*

Chris was cute (hehe) and he's not that dark.. great voice!
But I like Joe better hehe...
Joe was awesome... Loved his sax playing. He used 3 sax(es?) small, medium, large...hahahha. (seriously!)

And well of course George is awesome on the guitar but then who doesn't know that hehe.

Al... now Al.....! Damn! He can still pull up that high note....
His voice is still very strong even though he's already aged. (65? 68? Eh, too lazy to do research.)

Man, I certainly didn't regret going to their concert. It's probably once in a lifetime experience to see them performing together.


Huhuhuh I missed Chris Botti! He was here May 9. I didn't know.

Farewell....

Hihihi rekor neh 3 posts in a night!
Sambil nunggu temen gue selese install wireless thing.. taulah apaan huehuehe...

2 minggu lalu ada pesta.
Pesta ultah Muslimah Dallas yg ke 4 sekalian pesta farewell buat ketua KMI (Kerukunan Masyarakat Indo) Dallas. Oh iye, sekalian farewell buat 1 couple yg left for Canada. Couldn't remember the name though since I don't know them hehe...

Mas Ari, ex-ketua KMI, dan keluarganya pulang for good setelah tinggal disini 9 tahunan (kurang lebihlah) akhir May lalu. Gimana sih ini Mas Ari... kok ketuanya yg kabur duluan??

At the same time, temen gue Rinnie di SF jg pulang Indo for good akhir May lalu.

Gilee kok pada pulangnya barengan gini seh??

Rinnieeee... curang lu meninggalkan gue sendirian neh.. Kita blom sempet penuhin janji mo ke NY bareng kan... Elu ke NY dadakan, gimana gue bisa nyusul booo....

Mas Ari, yah ilang deh 1 org yg rame, kocak, dan bawel deh... Ketawa mulu kalo ada dia...hehhehe

Yah.. friends come and go especially when you live abroad... Just have to accept it... ^^

But I received good news from Angelique though, she'll come here to visit next month... If she can find cheap ticket from France...
Just come Ange.....it'll be worthed to see me... =D

Married Young Anyone?

Ngobrol ama temen gue tadi, online tentunya.

Sumardi, temen SD gue yg baru ketemu lage di MSN. Gila itu MSN gue jg bingung gimana dia bisa ketemu nama gue hahhaa...btw dia ada di Jakarta (buat referensi aja kalo ada yg tanya2 gitu haha)

Di: Eh Jess mo nanya donk.
Je: Yah tanya aja..
Di: Kalo co lu lebih tua 8 taon gimana?
Je: Yah gak gimana2lah, emang kenapa?
Di: Gue lage deketin dan dideketin ama anak SMU neh. Beda 7 taon... gimana nih?
Je: Oh, ya udah emang mo gimana? Yah cengli ajalah 7-8 taon doank mah. Cuek aja.
Di: Iya sih... tapi kalo misalnya gue mo merid ama dia, kan kudu tunggu dia selese kuliah, 4 taonan tuh. Trus itu kan berarti gue dah 29an! Masa gue merid umur 29 seh?! Kalo dia kuliah kedokteran gimana, makin lama ajaaaa.....
Je: Hueh... emang kenapa coba merid umur 29?? Lagian jg, byk kok org2 yg merid masih kuliah apalage di kedokteran, byk jg yg dah merid lagih...
Di: Yg bener aja, guekan kudu mikirin masa depan donk. Kalo gak cocok kan gue kudu cari lage, itu udah buang waktu gue.
Je: YA ELAH! elu nih... udah jodoh lu yah jodoh aja dah. Lagian mana lu tau cocok apa gak kalo gak dijalanin!
Di: iya seh... Tapi kalo nungguin dia kuliah gitu lama2 gue jadi bujang lapuk donk?
Je: Gimana seh?! gimana elu bisa jadi bujang lapuk seh?? Lu kan ada ce?
Di: IYa tapi kalo gitu kan gue kelamaan meridnya.
Je: Buset gak salah neh?! Biasa co2 yg pada gak mo merid cepet2, ini malah elu yg ngebet.....ckckck...
Di: hehehhe... Kata sapa co2 gak mo merid cepet2?
Je: temen gue yg co
Di: ah gak lage... gak gitu...
Je: .........


Setelah gue pikir2 lage selama gue kerja tadi... emang iya seh kayaknya cowok2 indo pada demen merid cepet2...
Menurut survey tidak resmi yg dilakukan oleh gue hehe, rata2 co2 indo (kenapa indo seh? yah karena yg masuk daftar peserta survey gue yah co2 indo) pengen merid sekitar 25-26.

Dan tentunya gue sebagai drama queen bereaksi extreme donk... Gile aje!! Ini co2 pada pengen merid 25an. Mo dikasih makan apa istrinya? Emang makan cinta bikin kenyang?? Ya gak Wen?? Ckckckckkc...

Kalo emang udah mapan lahir batin seh yah oklah, bukan urusan gue mo merid umur 18, 25 ato 40 sekalipun.. Tapi ini ecek2 yg baru lulus kuliah dan kerja beberapa taon singkat. (Iya donk, kan kalo lulus umur 23, merid umur 25 berarti baru kerja 2 taonan; itupun kalo lancar sesuai plan huehuehue)

Weleh... kerja 2 taon bisa nabung seberapa banyak buat modal merid?
Catet yah modal merid bukan berarti modal buat pesta meridnya, tapi modal buat elu hidup abis pesta nikah itulah.
Masa mo dibiayain bonyok terus seh?? Mana tradisi org indo kan langsung punya anak abis merid. ^^

Ada temennya temen gue yg dah merid.
Temen gue nanya ke dia ngapain cepet2 punya anaknya? Dijawab, "Yah, mo ngapain lage atuh kalo gak punya anak?"

Dan pas dia punya anak, anaknya kudu dititipin ama bonyoknya yg tinggal di lain kota.
Kembali ditanya kenapa dititipin gitu dan dijawab "Yah mana cukup kalo cuma suami gue yg kerja..."

Reaksi kita berdua "Gubrak!" donk...hahhahhaha...

Kemaren ini ditanya jawabnya mo ngapain lage.... sekarang baru mikir...
Kenapa gak mikir dari awal2 gitu... hare gene punya anak itu muahaallll.... ^^

But then again, gue jg gak bisa terlalu harsh ke dia karena siapa gue buat ngejudge dia...hehhe..
Itu hidup dia, gak ngerugiin gue jg dia mau punya anak atau gak...
Cuma tetep karena gue sebagai manusia kepo...mulut eh tangan gue... gatel buat komen...wkakakka..

Dan setelah gue pikir2 lagi, yah gue gak bisa bilang dia seharusnya jangan punya anak dulu sampai mapan juga.
Karena mapan itu relatif....

Kalo mau nunggu sampai mapan, yah bisa jadi gak bakal punya anak sampe kapan...karena nunggu aja terus...heuhuehuehuheu...

Jadi yah.........terserah elu2 jg deh mo merid muda apa gak wakakkakak...

Buat elu Di, yah udahlah kejer aja tuh ce.... mana lu tau seh dia jodoh lu apa bukan. Kali aja dia jg ngebet sama kayak elu pengen cepetan merid... Gak usah nunggu sampe elu 29 dah...heuheuhuehuhe..

Hihihihih..... So Freaking Happy!!

Yesterday morning I walked in to my tiny cubicle and thinking.. "Hmm...where's everybody?? I'm the first one here?"

Oh well, started my morning coffee (kopi kantor gue Starbucks bow huehuhe), check emails, spread my works, and opened KoKi.

8:30ish my boss walked in, still nobody showed up.

Doing my things, and then my boss showed up in my cubicle.

B: Jessica, can I talk to you for a second?
J: Yes *Damn! What did I do wrong? Is it about me chatting all the time?? Oh God!*

Went in to her office.

J: Is everybody coming? *biasalah basa basi heuhueh*
B: That's partly what I want to talk about. *Uh-oh!*
J: Oh...
B: I would like to switch your job with Gayle. *Gayle is the staff acct who deals with almost everything while I just deal with acct payable*
J: *Speechless...asli booo bengong gue...hahahha*
B: Yes, I need someone who will be here everyday. And Gayle called in sick again. She only has 1 more day left til November. She has called in sick way too much and I need somebody who'll be here everyday.
J: I see...
B: I understand you have a degree in accounting? *Me nodding* So, I'm asking if you would like to try that. Is that something that you would be interested on doing?
J: I would love to.
B: I need somebody who is dependable and I think you are dependable. *yadayadayada bs aja nih bos haha*
J: Thank you
B: And of course the money will be more too...
J: *smiling widely...ceria bener dah senyum gue* Great!!

Hihihihi.... I've been promoted to staff accountant!!

The next level to that staff accountant is assistant controller, and then controller... just you wait n see...wakakkakak *aduh sombongnya keluar*

And of course what did I do today after she gave me that offer?? I woke up late and went to work an hour late.
Forgot to set the alarm.... ^^ wakakkakak rusuh dah.

Forgot to mention my dilemma... was too happy with the raise huehuehuhe..

I mentioned that my boss wants me to switch jobs with Gayle. That means it's a step down for her and a step up for me... Hmm... and she sits next to me. Been there for a while too.. ^^
Felt a bit bad for her though and worse when Owen asked me if it's considered as I backstabbed her. Dang! I don't really think so though.

I mean whoever is going to be dumb enough to reject an offer like this just because she feels bad for her co-worker?? No? I thought so..

And I don't know if she has been told this or not since my boss told me to keep it between the 3 of us for now..... hmm...

A bit worry here.... coz ever since I started working there, my job description never matches what I do...
And with this change, once again I changed my position...

Agak2 rusuh juga yah ini company...ckckck... eniwei... gue naek gaji! hihihihihi....

What a Thunderstorm!

Should have listened to my feeling earlier!

Wanted to call in sick since I'm so tired and sleepy, just got home at midnite last night.
But then I remembered all my tasks that needed to be done today since it's month-end.
Had to post everything by 2PM today.
Also, we're supposed to have a meeting in the morning but she postpone it to next week.

Then there's the thunderstorm.
So dark, it almost like we're working at night time.
Rained so hard that you could hear the wind blowing and the rain splashed on the windows.
Thunders came next.

Blew out our electricity!

I was in the middle of typing a message on MSN Messenger to my friend (yes dear, I know, I said I was working, didn't I?) the power went out just like that!
It was around 10 AM.

Generator was on in minute or so but it only provided lights.
Couldn't do anything really...

10:05 Sat at my desk, texting my friends.
10:07 Walked around to the contract acctg dept.
10:15 Walked back to my desk since everybody was kind of went back to "work"
10:20 Sort my utilities bills and texting my friends
10:30 Texting my friends
10:50 Texting my friends, work a little bit. My boss went to tell us that she's leaving for early lunch.
11:00 Texting my friends
11:15 Texting
11:30 Bored to death and still texting
11:45 Talked to my coworkers
11:55 Went to lunch, couldn't stand it any longer.
11:57 Waiting for the only elevator-that-never-came, went down the stairs (oh, did I ever tell you that my office is on 7th floor? No? Well, now you know.)
12:03 Met my boss who's walking in to the building. *Damn, now she knows when I left...*
01:05 Went back to the office, the power's still out.
01:06 Missed the elevator, took the stairs.
01:10 3rd floor.. still ok... I can do it!
01:12 5th floor...dammit still 2 more togo!
01:14 6th floor....my leg hurts!
01:16 FINALLY! Never have I been so glad to see a door.
01:20 Went back to my humble cubicle.
01:30 yada yada yada...
01:40 My boss told me I could leave if I really don't have anything to do.
01:50 *thinking* Hmm... should I just leave?? But nobody's leaving... hmm..
01:55 Got my clorox wipes (love this stuff!) and cleaned my desk.
02:05 Talked to my coworkers
02:09 Getting ready to go home
02:15 Put away all my craps
02:17 Got my purse

New Rates

Starting Saturday, May 19th, the post rate will change from 39 cents to 41 cents.

Not really a problem for me since I pay almost all of my bills online.

BUT... not for my company since we have to send all these checks out through mail.

Apparently, not only did they increase the rate, they also set these ridiculous charges:

- additional charge for additional weights, I think it's for every pound? *well nothing new about this*
- additional charge for metal clasps on the envelope *wth?!*
- additional charge for brown envelopes? *I really need to get back with Emily the receptionist for this*
- I don't what the deal here, but Emily told us not to put more than 8 pages per regular-white envelope. I'm guessing there's an additional fee.
- I let you know more if I found out some more.

Seriously, they're rediculous. What they should do is close at 7 M-F! So we, working ppl, don't have to sacrifice our lunch time to wait in loooonggggg lines where they work so slow. Geezz we only get an hour, you know.

Oh, I finally found Teh Botol in asian grocery store... Soooo happy... hihihi *not related to the topic but I'm so happy that I have to mention it here heuheuhuhe*

Expat.... Oh Expat....

Whoa.. This is the first time ever that I'm writing a blog this early...=p *gini deh kalo gak ada kerjaan di kantor hehhehe... EH enak aja gak ada kerjaan! Gue lage lunch... tolong... =p*

Yesterday (at work of course), came across an expat's website. Expats in Indonesia to be exact.

http://www.expat.or.id

Got my attention because of one article (couldn't remember what it is now ^^)
Go to Aida Speaks Out and see it for yourself.

She's sarcastic, nope that's not the right word, cynical. Yes! that's the right word. She's a cynic. heuheuhe.. Maybe that's why it catch my attention =p

Anyway, I checked out the forum and read some of the threads. 2 threads made me itch to yell at those stupid (bule) men. *Gee Sen, I think I need to join you on that anger management class =p*

So this stupid man from UK (that's what I assumed anyway, intinya bulelah) Oh, before I go even further, will it help if I tell you guys his nickname? It's Jutawan, so go and look him up huehuehuhe...

He was asking for advices to the forum about coming to Indonesia to find a wife... *hari gini... what are we? A supplier of wives?! Damn, not only we're the biggest (at least according to my opinion) supplier of cheap labors (TKI) but apparently we are also wives supplier. D'oh!*

He's 40ish, and couldn't get any woman there in his home so his (stupid) friend told him to go to Indonesia since he got his wife from Indonesia too.

He also asked what he should do to this girl who emailed him (I guess, she wants him or something) but they have this 18 years of age-gap. >.<
He asked what he should do blablablabla... Oh and btw he's gonna spend about 90 days to find a wife.

Duh! Do you think finding a wife is like buying a candy? And besides, if what he wants is an Indonesia wife, can he not find an Indonesian woman there in his country?? Lord knows that our people is spread around the world.

Well, let me tell him, it'll certainly be easy for him to find a wife in that short of a time.
Just tell those silly women that he's from UK or something. Really, we aren't that particular on where you came from anyway, just as long as you're a bule, so we can brag to our friends that we could snatch a bule. And besides we all think you're rich anyway, so of course we'll go throw ourselves to your feet.

And another expat answered him that Jutawan'll find a wonderful wife that will take care of him just like his wonderful wife that he found in Indonesia when he couldn't get anybody back home.
I'm assuming by take care means that we serve them like a maid? Cook meals, clean the house, feed the kids, make their lives comfortable.....if you know what I'm saying ^.^ Dang! I didn't know that they're just the same like Indonesian men who needs their wives to serve them. ^^

Whoa! I didn't know that all the things that we had (or we'll get scowled for not wanting to learn) to learn long time ago from our moms, that they said it's for our own good when we're married later, is for us to be maids for those bule... huehuheuhe...

Came to think about it (I really need to stop thinking too much), from what I've seen and noticed, most of them prefer "traditional" wives. Ha! Wait til you marry her and you'll see how traditional she'll be, especially when they live abroad. God knows how many of them I've come across and thanks God I have a good (seriously!) self control not to blurt out my mind.

Cape dee... bule gedong doank....*pada tau kan gedong? Gede2 dongo? huahuha* no offense for you ppl who have Indonesian spouse OR bule spouse. If you're offended... too bad! I certainly didn't ask you to read this blog.. =p

To be continued when I'm in the mood to continue or maybe not... Right now I need to go back and earn my measly money.

Luckily Jay brought Nathan....Thank God! And he's in the army too... so useful haha..

Around 12ish Terrence called.... just woke up and left the cell ph in his car... ^.^!

That's ok, we made him made it up by setting our lights, table and TV stand the next day whahaha...

Can't watch DVDs coz we don't have a DVD player.

Broken Rice



Ce Elvy, I'm too lazy to send you an email or to wait you online in ym. So, I decided to write the blog hahahaa...

Just realized that I know what a broken rice is.... =p
It looks like this.... I had the korean bbq for the meat. I tried pork before.

Kuby's

Went to Kuby's for dinner last week. It's a German restaurant.
They also have a grocery store attached to the restaurant. You have to go inside the grocery store and then go into the restaurant.

A bit confusing at first. We were like where's the entrance?? heuuhehuhe

It's not that big of a restaurant but quite a cozy place. You seated yourself, there's no hostess to seat you down.
They have an old man played the accordion(?), who knows haha..


The foods are really good, well at least what I ordered hahaha... I had the rouladen. It's beef with bacon, pickle, err... I forgot what else are inside haha but it's good...

Priscil had schnitzel (? Is this how you spell it?) And Lorraine had spatzel (?) Man, German words are hard to spell hahaha...

I don't really like that spatzel. A bit bland for my taste.
We also ordered some sausages. Don't ask me what kind, wouldn't know anyhow.

Ajisen, Pissed Me Off!!

Ok, so I went to this new Japanese restaurant in Chinatown.
I noticed this restaurant a couple weeks ago but didn't have a chance to check it out.
And finally, last Sunday I went there to have lunch.

It was around 1PM. We went there from Whiterock Lake to take some pics for my photography class. I wasn't really going to go to Ajisen coz I need to make a detour (it's in the other side of the town - from that lake). But then, I thought, "Let's check it out, I've been meaning to check it out anyway. Why not now?!" Beuh, big MISTAKE!!!!!

And so, Priscil n I went there.

The place is actually quite nice. I like the decor.
There's a sushi bar and you can see the display kitchen where they cook the appetizer. It's covered by the glass tho', so you won't smell anything from that kitchen. but you can see everything.
They also have the back kitchen which we can't see.

The restaurant itself is not that big of a size.

So, we went in and were greeted by the confused hostess.
Why I said confused?? Well, coz she looked overwhelming n didn't really know where the sections were. Simply to put: she didn't know where to put us! ^.^!
What a newbie!!! *hahahahha... bragging a bit... since I used to be a GREAT hostess haha*

We were seated at the last table, near the kitchen. People were going back n forth behind my back. Ugh!
Anyway, since it was crowded, we didn't really have any choices.

We sat there waiting for the waiter/waitress to come.

And we wait....*still chatting happily and checking out the menu*

Still waiting.....*starting looking around*

Still waiting.....*starting to get pissed off... where the hell is the waitress?! It's been more than 5 minutes!!! No water, nobody asked us anything, NOTHING!!*

Finally, she came, looked at me and asked me what I would like to drink. Oh, no greetings btw.
I told her water. And guess what?!?

After she asked me that, she just went away without even LOOKING at Priscil who sat in front of me.
We were like, what the hell?! She didn't even look at you!! Wah deeppp *wah dalem maksudnya hahhaahaa*

The water came. Yes, she brought 2 glasses of water. But...... there is a but hehehe...
But, she brought 1 glass with lemon and the other 1 without. She also didn't ask for our orders.... ckckckkckc....

We waited again for her to come back and take our orders.

Again we waited....*I'm already a bit pissed off by this time.*

And waited......

Finally *warning, I'm gonna be using this word alot in this post ^^*, she came and took our orders.
I ordered katsu don and Priscil had the gyudon.
We also got miso soup n salad.

Again *warning, I'll be using this alot too hahaha*, we waited....

While we waited, there was a waitress came and asked if we had placed our orders. Then we continued waiting.

After like 5-10 minutes, somebody brought our soup n salad.

And again of course we waited oh-so-patiently for our foods to come.

And of course, they just had to had to take their time bringing out the foods.

I was already sooo damn pissed off!! In fact, I'm pissed off again rite now just remembering!
heuhuehuheuhe...

We waited for a good 15-20 minutes before our foods came.
The weirdest thing was, nobody ever came by to take our soup's bowls and salad's plates the whole time we were waiting.
Then, the busgirl came and clean ALL the bowls, plates, chopsticks, forks, spoons, and clean the table.
She even said thank you! We were like, what in the world just happened there?! @____@!
Did she try to kick us out? haha...

After that the food came. Luckily, they came with spoons.

And of course, as you all can guess by now, the foods suck!!!!! Damn it!
I've wasted my precious time and waited for that kind of food?! And it wasn't that cheap either!

We ate for about 10-15 minutes... HUH! We ate faster that they cooked.

The whole time, and I mean the WHOLE TIME we were there, nobody, NOBODY, asked us if everything was ok or do you need anything or you know... all those kind of bullshits that we do to get good tips.... ^^

The only person came that often to our table was the busgirl to refill our water. OH, don't get me wrong... all waitresses were going back n forth alot but they just didn't stop at our table.

I will never ever go back there again.... I'm so pissed off I could hit somebody.

That was the longest time I ever spent (2 hours) in a restaurant..... waiting.....

FYI: Ajisen is located at Chinatown by Arapaho n Greenville.
Next to Canton restaurant across from Caravelle restaurant. You can easily see it from the street (Greenville).

Blood Diamond


Watched Blood Diamond a couple of weeks ago.

You guys gotta watch this movie. It's good!!

Leo spoke with African-English accent.... awesome, even though I can barely understand what he was saying... hahahah... but he spoke just like a native, IMHO.

Damn this movie! After watched it, I don't want to buy diamonds ever again.

Well......................

Not really ever again.... we'll see in about 3 months (?), see if I have already forgotten what the movie about...heuhuehuehuhe...

Oh btw, notice that I didn't say that I would never ACCEPT diamonds ever again, I will still accept them though, just not gonna buy them... *hint hint ;p*

You guys better watch it!!

Am going to sleep now...

Hmmmm.... I didn't write any summary, huh? Eh, you guys should all now know about it somehow anyway. ^____^

5. Be more friendly than last year *jgn jutek2 hahaha, susah pisan neh! Very2 hard to do since annoying people still exist in this world.*
6. Be unsingle? *is that even a real word? hahahha....=p capeee deehhh*
5. Be............*we'll see along the way...haha*

But the most important resolution of all is number........ 2!!
I wish and wish and wish and hope and wish and hope and pray and hope and hope that my luck will never run out.

Hahahhahaha... It's such a lazy person's prayer... ^___^
