The day about PiG’s YeAr

Saturday, February 17th, 2007

Dog’s year will be passed soon, pig’s year is coming. It’s only left for 30 minutes(Jakarta’s time), so I just want to share my feeling and hope for the coming year.

As usual, new year’s means party. Party means you must prepare something to perform in the stage. This year job’s is "robber" (last year job’s is director), what a pity me! Few level drop, hahahaha….

Even it’s not as succesfull as my and our team’s hope, at least we already try our best to practice (until late after office hour, during office hour, break time, etc) and prepare everything in a very short time. For sure, I’m proud of all the team’s work, especially for Mr. Director, two thumbs up for your hardwork! This time I really try my best to act as the best robber (thank’s also to robber B and C for sharing the robbering skill, hehehe..), hope everybody like it =)

Nice hotel, nice food, and nice party… A little sad, I’m waiting until the party finished for the door prize, but I got nothing. Last year, I still get DVD player and rice cooker, actually I lost my number, but some friend give their gift to me, thank you guys!

Anyway, spring festival (some people called it chinese new year) is a celebration of hope (hope that it wll be more succesfull in the coming year) in chinese culture. Some tradition are still "celebrated" by most of the chinese race. For myself, it’s not about the party, but more about the time to share; share the happiness, hope, and care.

As a tradition, we will say "gong xi", especially to the eldest, to give our respect to them. It’s time to meet each other (especially for our "far" familys, maybe this time is moment to say "hello"), the best moment to gather, once a year. When I was just a little kid, I’m hoping hong bao, especially from aunty/uncle/dad/mom/grandfather, etc. I remember that my grandfather, when he still alived, used to give a "gift" as hong bao, not always money. It’s not such an expensive thing, but it means so much. He stay far away from me, if I receive the "hong bao", I can feel that he really care about me (cause he still remember to send me something). Sometimes he send a lot of fire works (till my mom give some to others). If he was in Jakarta, we played the fire works together, one of the best moment in my life. For sure, my little sister still so happy to receive the "hong bao", she will count the money directly (just now she get it from my mom, she looks like so happy). What a style of little kid! Eits…. I willl be happy also if you want to give "hong bao" to me, but it’s a little ashame for us (especially in our age) to ask for "hong bao", hehehe….

Finally, it times to say "Gong Xi Fat Chai, Xin Nien Khuai Le", wishing you and your family a wonderful and properous new year!

Love,

Girl @ pig’s year

The day with the OfFiCe’S pHoNe

Hooray!!!! Finally, my house get back the electricity! What a terrible week without light.

OOOhhhhh… it’s a tired day! Today, I’m the most "wanted" people at office. Not coz i’m the cutest girl, hehehe…. but they’re looking for me to ask some helps, haha…. are they dreaming in the afternoon? Even I’m going to find other people for some helps. How can I help them? Am I superwoman?

Anyway, while working, there is a funny guy sit opposite of my desk. The most unique of this guy is he’s waiting until not so many people in the office to make a "long" call to his girl friend in other country, I can say the best time after office hour. Finally, when it left only 3 of us (me, him, and other collegue), he start to use the office’s phone. First, I don’t know he call whom, just thinking that he call someone for works matter. Then he start to say "I love you" in Indonesian language to someone at the other end (for sure it must be her girl friend, if not he will not speak flattery, hahaha…), this time I start to listen. I just continue my work then, until almost 8 PM (even the other collegue already go home, only left me and him), but until I’m going home (I think I already spend much time to work, call home to tell mom that I’m late, and discuss something with other collegue), he still not finish calling. I think it more than 1 hour. Wow! Such a smart guy, going home late from office only for free call, hahaha…. Salute to him!

I thought this guy just thinking smart, efficient, and simple. Cannot imagine if every people in office do like what he do, the boss will "cut" the phone budget also, hahaha…..

What a pity boss…. Staff is smarter than boss =)

I’m in the bad mood!!!

All the things seems going so bad. First: I get scold, second: my heart in troubled, third: no electricity, fourth: I hate the darkness, fifth: cannot going anywhere, sixth: the weather change so fast, seventh: difficult to connect internet, eight: traffic everywhere, ninth: cannot watch DVD, tenth: complaining… complaining…. complaining…

Great! All that reason makes me want to shout.. I want to run away.. and… I want to cry ^~^  I hate this feeling!

But I realize that I still the lucky girl, I see many people are suffering more because of the flood. I should not complaining! My mother always say, never look "up" but always look "down". Maybe it will makes me more patient…

This few days, I try to control my feeling, I don’t want people affected by my "bad mood". I try to keep quiet and enjoy the day, but actually my heart feels so hurt, I want to run and cry….

God, please help me to makes me more patient, hope this is part of your plan to makes me wiser

The day with the flood

Friday, February 2nd, 2007

As usual, every year Jakarta will have a "party" with flood. This morning I wake up a little late and left by the bus. But this is not a bad day at all. I feel lucky that the bus has gone coz my friend who go to office using that bus are trapped for more than 2 hour without moving, what a pity gal!

I’m going to office using my private car, but it’s only 2 person in the car, it’s need 3 person at least to pass "3in1". The whole morning I try to call my friend who can join me, finally I find 3 "joki" (actrually I just call 1 friend, then he bring also 2 other friends, no problem it still enough place in the car), hahaha… Thx for all my "joki" this morning ^_^

All the way is traffic, really bad, but I still can arrive at office around 9, not so bad… Just a few hours then some friends tell me that today is holiday, ooooo……. if I know then I will not go to office this morning, just continue my sleep

There is babi bodoh would like to cook for my lunch while I’m working. Thx for the lunch! I meet also my friend who trapped in the flood from airport, he back home by foot, his trousers are wet, so pity guy!

On the way back, I’m listening to the radio. The reporter interview a man who trapped in the flood inside his house, he is crying and asking for some helps, he also say that he is so hungry, get nothing for eat since this morning. I just feel it’s so terrible, I still lucky can enjoy my lunch and supper.

Many people trapped in the flood outside, many phone line is down, many people cannot go back from their office, and many people hungry outside. This just because of water. It gives human a "life" but also can destruct human’s life. This year’s flood is worst that last year, hope tonight the weather will be ok, so people not suffering again. Anyway I also want to enjoy my weekend tomorrow, no work, no flood, only shopping, hehe..
