*indonesian version # 3
ini cerita tentang hubungan antara kata2 dengan otak ngeres.
ceritanya berawal dari bosku yang baru pulang dinas dr LN & membawakan kami oleh2 coklat. coklatnya berbentuk bulet, milk chocolate yang berisi kacang almond dan dilapisi dengan bubuk dark chocolate, sehingga kalau di jilat, rasanya pahit. rasa pahitnya langsung hilang kalo kita makan sekaligus satu butir. jadi kalo mau dimakan, jangan dites2 dulu dengan dijilat, tp langsung masuk bulet2 ke mulut.
nah, tadi pagi temen2ku pada dateng ke kubikelku (yang ngga tau kenapa,pasti selalu penuh dengan makanan) untuk mencari cemilan. ak tawarin deh coklat itu. yang pertama dateng itu robby dan (sebut saja) indra.
robby : eh, bagi cemilan dong.
ak : nih, ada coklat makan aja.
robby : (dengan menjilat/mengisap dulu-->knapa sih orang pny kebiasaan menjilat coklat?).. ih, kok pahit coklatnya?
ak : ga pait rob, itu luarnya aja. coba deh, lsg makan, pasti enak.
rob : (lsg makan). oia, enak ya..
lalu dateng lah daddy aldi..
robby : di, cobain nih, coklatnya sih dyta. (sambil ketawa)
karena robby pake acara ketawa, si aldi jadi ragu utk mencobanya.
aldi : ini apaan sih dyt?
ak : itu coklat dad! (kami memanggilnya daddy krn dia pny sifat kebapakan..hoho)
aldi : oh, ya sudah. ak coba kalo gitu..(memulai menjilat/mengisap coklatnya)
ak : eh! jangan diisep, langsung dimasukin aja!!
tiba2, ga ada angin, ga ada ujan.. si indra ketawa terbahak2!!
ak : knapa kau ndra?
indra :ak ga nyangka kau ngomong kaya' gitu dyt..
ak : lah emang knapa?
tp mukanya lsg bersemu merah kaya tomat. setelah beberapa lama ak baru menyadari kalo ada arti lain dr kata2ku tadi, yg hanya bisa terpikir oleh orang yg punya otak ngeres..
dasar kau ndra!! pikiranmu itu..ckckck.. cepatlah kau married!! hihihi..;)

does SIZE really matter??
a couple of weeks ago, Garing & I went out to Senayan City to go shopping for our wedding preparations.. (yes, it's getting close guys!). after about an hour of wandering around, i finally spotted it.. it was a famous lingerie shop = La Senza.. and the windows wrote =The Biggest Sale Everr!!!
me : yang!! look! La Senza is having it's biggest sale ever!! come on buy me something for our honeymoon!!!
garing : ok, let's go inside and check it out..
me : yay!!
so we went in, and searched for the perfect piece..
me : yang, which one should i get? how about this one (pointing at a little red one), or this one? (a white one) or maybe this one (a black one)??
garing : how about this one? (he pointed at a gorgeuous baby pink bustier), this one looks pretty nice..
me : oh thats gorgeuous!! ok, i'll try it on first..
i asked the saleswoman to give me the smallest size, and she gave me an S. then i went to the fitting room..
..a couple of minutes later i went out, gave the piece back to the saleswoman and headed straight back to Garing.
garing : (looking at my puppy face) what's wrong?
me : i dont wanna buy it..
garing : why?
me : *hesitating for a while*... (whispering) it doesn't fit..
garing: what? which part doesnt fit??
me : ughh.. do have to ask?? the cup doesnt fit!!
garing : but thats already an S??
me : aaaaarrrrggghhh!!!
garing : huahahahaa... just try another one..
me : no. lets get out of here.
garing : (says nothing.. but just smiles, hugs me and pats me on the head)
what does that mean?? does size really matter to him (or all men?)..? is that a sarcastic smile, a dissapointed smile or what?? hhhmm.. i'll just have to wait and see next month..
*hey guys out there in the world!! what's your opinion? do you think size really matter??

*indonesian version (lagi males berbahasa inggris..hihihi)
dulu pernah kerja diperusahaan telekomunikasi.. sebagai account manager.. istilahnya sih keren, ada embel2 managernya, padahal artinya ya marketing juga.. jadi kita tugasnya mengelola (memanage) account2(nasabah2) yang kita miliki.. banyak suka-dukanya sih kerja di perusahaan telekomunikasi ini, salah satunya kita dituntut harus update segala macam hal ttg teknologi telekomunikasi, baik mulai dari telepon rumah, GSM & CDMA technology, internet, maupun secure network seperti VPN atau frame relay... bebeubeuh...apaan tuh? sempet kerepotan sih awalnya (sampe terakhir jg masih bingung sih ttg VPN & frame relay itu..hihi), tp lama2 terbiasa juga..
berikut salah satu kisah bodohku sebagai marketing :
Tempat : kantor klienku
Kejadian : visiting klien sekalian nawarin produk
Kronologi :
ak : halo pak.. pa kabar nih??
klien X : oh, baik baik.. gmn mba dyta, dah lama ya ga maen kesini..
ak : hehe, iya pak lg byk orderan nih, jd baru sempet maen kesini skrg.. sori ya pak..hehe.. (pdhl orderan jg ga byk2 amat, dasar males aja jualan..hoho..)
setelah berbasa-basi selama +/- 10 menit, akhirnya si bapak nanya,
klien X : jd gmn, apa produk terbaru kalian??
ak : (aha! kebetulan sekali!) oh ini pak... kita punya layanan CDMA terbaru pak, ada paket ini..bla..bla..bla.. cobain dong pak.. saya jg ga pake loh..
klien X : ah, kalo CDMA pasti jelek, suka putus2..ga kaya GSM..
ak : ngga dong pak, itukan dulu, skrg jaringan CDMA kita dah disempurnain, dah ga pernah call drop lg..
kriiiinggg...!! (tiba2 hp CDMAku berbunyi..--> bunyinya kok kring sih dyt?jadul bgt..hoho..)
ak : (oh, ternyata klienku, pak A) sebentar ya Pak, saya terima dulu
klien X : oh, silahkan silahkan..
ak : *menerima telepon*.. selamat siang pak A.. pa kabar?
pak A : siang mba Dyta... mba, saya mau nanya... tuut..tut..tuuuuuttt..
(oh my god! teleponnya call drop! padahal baru aja ak promosiin kalo CDMAnya ga pernah call drop lg.. gmn dong?) akhirnya dengan bodohnya...
ak : oh, tentang pemasangan telepon kantor bapak ya.. oh, udah beres pak.. siang ini bakal kita install.. ok pak.. iya, makasi.. iya, sama2 pak.. selamat siang..
ak ngomong sendiri kaya orang gila, untungnya aktingku lumayan, jadi si klien X keliatannya percaya2 aja tuh..hihihi..(untungnya jg, ga ada telepon masuk lg)
Alhamdulillah, setelah itu ak berhasil menjual 1 buah CDMA ama si klien X.. makasi pak X..=), maaf telah mengelabuimu dengan aktingku yang ciamik..hihihi..;))
*sebagai catatan, produk CDMA kami sekarang dah bener2 sempurna lowh..bener2 ga pernah call drop lagi.. suer deh..^^v!!
I'm Coming Home Mama..=)!!
Yay! Just 3 more days and i'll be back @ my hometown, Medan.. Cant hardly wait..^^!
Plans when i get back :
Hhmm..what else?? Oh, i'll just think of it on the way.. Medan.. Here i cooommeee...^^!!
EARTHQUAKE!!
The second day i arrived in Jakarta, i was 'welcomed' by an earthquake!! Jakarta was hit by an earthquake, which was centralized in Tasikmalaya, 7,6SR. It was told that about 40 people died in Tasik because of this quake & alot more were injured. My deepest condolesense for the quakes victims & their families.
Here's my story..
It all started when my friends & i were getting ready to go home from the office..(it was about 2.50pm), when suddenly i felt a slight vibration, below me.. than the building started to shake.. At first we were just laughing and walked slowly towards the emergency stairs, but then started to panic when the shaking became stronger & we were stuck in the stairways with everybody in the building..
But finally, after climbing down 15 stories (with my highheels on!!) we finally reached the ground floor and went outside to the muster point. There really wasnt any muster point, so we just tried to find our other fellow officemates. Fortunately everyone was safe, except Mr. Faried who decided not to go down (dont know the reason why though). That was when we realized that we didn't bring our bags with us. I only got to bring my iPhone, without my wallet & pretty much the same with my friends.. so we had to wait til the situation was safe enough to go back to get our belongings..
After waiting for about half an hour we were allowed to enter the building again, but my friends and i didnt dare to go, so we asked our friends who went to fetch our bags. We finally got our bags and headed home..
But that was only half my story that day.. Here's the other half..
So I went home at about 4.30pm, riding the metromini again but unfortunately every metro was so crowded! But because i wanted to get back home in time for fast breaking, i decided to ride that crowded metro.. when we were @ gatsu, i suddenly felt dizzy, nauseaus, & started to sweat heavily. i realized that i was starting to faint (coz i've fainted a lot of times, i know the symptoms..hehe), i started to panic coz there wasnt any room for me to sit down or squat (i was standing up the whole time). so when we reached kuningan, i decided to get off. so i got off, & really started to faint.. there was like a cold breeze coming towards me (even though the sun was extremely hot that day) i couldnt think at all & remembered that i just sat there, in the side of the road..(hahaha, must be a very pathetic site of me!)
dont really remember how long i sat there, but than my vision became normal again. a slight dilemma than came over me, if i ride the metro again, i'd probably faint again, if i fetch a taxi who knows what time i'll get home? the traffic was crazy! (& of course the argo would be as high as hell).. if i walked, it was still a long way home.. i finally decided that i'd walk, hoping that i could find an 'ojek' on the way.. so i started walking.. 10 metres..no ojek.. 20 metres.. still no ojek.. 30 metres.. god, where are all the ojek's?? i half heartedly continued to walk.. and walk.. and walk.. until i realized that i was in front of my aunt's gate. what? i walked that far??!!! pheeww!! it was all worth it when i came home, just in time for breaking, with a big glass of ice coconut water.. thank you Allah for giving me the strength for that day.. Alhamdulillah.. =)!
this is so typically me..
i always seem to feel lonely in a crowded place, but feel so 'crowded' in a quiet, lonely place..
i'm now back in jakarta where my real family is.. i mean, i'm happy to see them, all my cousins..especially my lovely niece..but, my heart always seems to be hollow here..
i miss my brothers.. i miss my fortress of solitude..
it was a long weekend coz monday was a holiday because it was indonesia's independence day..
i didn't hope too much that it was gonna be a fun weekend for me coz everybody was busy with their own businesses.. so i spent the whole saturday just eating, sleeping, watching tv & cleaning up the house a bit.. (the sleeping & watching tv had a bigger portion, of course..hihihi..).
waiting for mas hakim @ d office before going to Palembang
then it came dinner time, so i went to my brother's house to go eat. after we ate, they asked if i wanted to go karaoke.. OF COURSE i do!! so, the brother's (& sister) of house 330 went karaoke-ing.. after about 2 hours of false singing (except mas ephin who sings perfecto), i went to sleep with a big grin on my face..=)
i didn't do much on Sunday, pretty much doing the same ritual i do.. but the guys promised me that they would take me to Palembang on Monday to watch a movie.. did really wanna get my hopes high (coz i've been let down TWICE be them) but still i was excited for the next day!
@ PIM parking lot , with ampera bridge in the background.. can u see it?
the next day, things started a bit annoying coz mas yoma insisted that we should go to the Independence Ceremony. good thing that the other guys didnt wanna go, so we only had to wait for him to go back untill we departed to Palembang. mas Satrio & his wife, Sisca decided that they wanted to join us.. so, that was nice.. THE MORE THE MERRIER..^^!!
we arrived @ Palembang at about 10.30 WIB, and went straight to PIM. i insisted to watch ICE AGE 3, but the guys didn't want to, so we chose to watch PUSH instead. fortunately, by the time we got there, PUSH already started, so it left us with only one choice, watch ICE AGE 3.. hurraaay!!! hihihi.. i knew it, good people always gets good things.. hahaha..
nothing like a cold scoop of ice cream at a hot day..^^
after that, we went to Internasional Plaza to watch MERANTAU.. i already warned the guys that this movie sucks, but they didn't believe me.. so oh well, i just waited til my point proved itself. and.. voila!! i was 100% right!! the movie was pointless!! VERY pointless.. ugh.. and they unwillingly admitted it.. hahaha..
before watching MERANTAU
anyway guys, another nice weekend for me.. thanks a bunch...^^!
I WANT A GUY..
who would make me LAUGH like NO ONE could
who would move the hair away from my eyes then kiss me
who would hold my hand in line at the mall & make all the girl jealous
who would SING to me at random moments
who would let me sleep at their chest
who would get mad at someone if they called me ugly or was mean to me
who would call me every night before i go to sleep
who would love to hear me sing, even with my false voice
who would know what i'm thinking without me having to have to say it
who would let me gossip to him and would just smile & agree with everything i said.. =)
who would throw stuffed animals to me when i acted dumb and then KISS ME a million times
who would make fun of me just to make me LAUGH
who would lend his shoulder for me to cry on
who would stay home with me on a friday night & help make dinner & watch movies together
and we'd argue about silly things then make up
but especially, who would be my best friend and would NEVER BREAK MY HEART
need some inspiration.. need some enlightment.. need ideas.. need a vacation.. hohoho.. yup, a nice warm beach would be nice to refresh my thoughts & get inspirations..hhmm.. you wish dyta! where the hell could you find a beach around here?!

View of the right side (that's my neighbour's house)
This is the car i usually drive (when there's a loan), hehe..
Dont ask the view in the back.. it's a little bit spooky, so i didn't take any pictures back there..hihi...
ok ok, so lets recap the things that have happened since i left patra jasa..
#1. my first internship was in Jakarta, Kwarnas Building, Central Jakarta. didnt really have much to do than eat, sleep (really, we REALLY did sleep at the office!! haha.), browse whenever there's an idle computer, then go home.. that was pretty much what we did for about 2.5 months.. hehe..
@ Gedung Kwarnas
#2. our office moved to another buliding @ Menara Standard Chartered, South Jakarta. It's a pretty elite building with high security access. very cold air conditioning, & we can drink as much hot chocolate or coffee as we want.. haha.. the work, well, there are times when we wish we could have more time, but there are times when we hope time would soon pass by so we could go home to our warm beds..hehe..

@ Our Cubicle
@ the common room where we drink up all the hot chocolate..^^
@ our cube again..
#3. the third and current situation i'm in is, my second phase internship, which takes hold in the remote area. i (people say luckily) got Prabumulih, South Sumatera, Ool got Jambi, and Keke got Rantau. I'll tell u the truth, the first night i slept alone in a lonely, abandoned house, i cried my tears out.. which means i couldn't sleep at all, resulting puffy eyes and a runny nose in the morning.. but, as time passes by, now i feel comfortable here, especially bcoz everybody is so welcome and nice to me... the work, well, pretty much the same..
@ Rig H40D Merbau

@ NR, the one and only entertainment in Prabumulih..
We're planning to go to Palembang this Saturday to catch a movie.. if we can get anyone to lend us a car, that is.. hehe.. wish us luck..^^v!!
