Day To Be Crossed

Yesterday, I wanted to go back to my dorm, but I was not sure about the bust stop, so I asked a girl who was standing there.

me: excuse me, is bus C stop here?

vietnamese girl: yes, are you a fresh man?

me: yes

vietnamese girl: where are you come from?

me: Indonesia, are you singaporean?

vietnamese girl: do I like singaporean? hahaha… No, i’m vietnamese

me: oh, sorry….

vietnamese girl: where are you going?

me: graduate hall

vietnamese girl: are you graduate student?

me: yes…

vietnamese girl: i think you are under graduate fresh man. How old are you?

me: I’m 24

vietnamese girl: what??? You looks like 18

We call it "forever young", hahaha….

I hate packing…. especially in the last… last minute…. This is the most thing I hate if I need to go for travelling

Already plan to packing since sunday, but… it’s postpone due my laziness… also my lovely cousin is coming so we talk and talk….. forget about my packing thing….

Monday… wanna packing but… go back very late… also tired….

Tuesday… some friends ask me to go out for dinner, so….. I went home late… postpone again!

Finally…. I start packing on wednesday, only some clothes but already takes 1 big bag, oh my God! Then… I make a list…. to makes me remember what to bring ^_^

Today… continue to tick some from the list… but I need to find another big bag, so many remaining stuff not yet put in…. Ohhhhhhh….

Tomorrow is my last day at office…. will miss it so much….

It’s a very funny and weird day for me. All day my phone is ringing, most of them are complaint. I try to explain and be patient, all I do is saying "Irene, please calm down… you can make it!"… Problem is solved one by one, but by the end of the day someone is calling me and give me such a "big" complaint, from the voice he looks like so frustated (first time I hear I think he is going to cry), then getting mad…. I try to make him calm down, makes him understand…. but finally after the call is ended, I start to laugh. I feel so sorry to the guy who still mad over there, but when I think again, I feel it is a little funny, hahaha… No offense to write something about what I feel today, right?

FInally… I’m getting older now…. 24 year old…. Does it mean something?

Does it mean to be a new life, a new hope, a new future, and a new love?

Who knows?

I just spend my day with my friend and family: go to watch movie, have dinner, and karaoke ^_^

Wanna see the result? I attached the picture….

With some friends…..

For someone who "accidentally" write "Happy B’day to Babi Irene", really wanna kick your ass… But I forgive it coz I’m a good girl ^_^

With my beloved mother, father, and sisters….

You are my inspiration… love you…

singing…… shalalalalala……

Wanna be a singer???? Hmmmmmm……

With all my body guard….

Smile…. ^_^

Finally… for all people that I love…. thank you for the birthday wish that I receive either by call or by sms since 17 June 2007 start from 00.00 till today… For all my friends and family, thank you for sharing unforgetable memory during my special day.. love you….God Bless You!

Few days ago, when I went to Bandung, me and some friends are having dinner at a nice cafe. The cafe, the food, and the environment are great. But I’m more interested on the band. It’s a unique band coz all the personnel that consist of singer, gitarist, and pianist are blind.

Whe I saw the pianist, I’m a little surprised either he is really blind or not. So, I take a step to stand nearer to the pianist. He played piano and organ in the same time, he played organ with his right hand and playes the piano with his left hand…. and he is really blind!

I cannot imagine how he could play piano, not only piano but also organ in the same time. Meanwhile, the song that the singer sing is a kind of a high tempo music. But he was played it perfectly, without any missed tone. Two thumbs up for him!

Practice makes him perfect. He never gave up for anything, even he is blind, and he can perform something great. I’m thinking that with all my "gift" from the God, I should make something better, never give up, and perform something "well". But I feel that I’m only done half of all the "gift" I have. Should I ashame of myself?

One day, I went home by taxi from office, and I met this “strange” taxi driver. Actually, I went home with some friends but after drop them off, this “strange” taxi driver started to talk to me. I have no idea why he spoke to me after I drop off my friend. Suddenly he asked me what time is it, after I told him, he started to tell his story.
He told me that today his father has just passed away and right now he cannot concentrate to what he is doing. His father still laid on the hospital accompanied by his wife and son, and he cannot take his body to be burnt because he cannot pay to the hospital. He need to went back to the hospital directly after sent me home to finish all the administration. He got headached and have drunk 4 tablets of drugs. He told me that his father got sick, a very bad one, after her mother had passed away a few months before. Seems, he was so desperate till he told everything to me, a strager.
I was so surprised, till cannot say anything, first I was a little afraid but I feel that maybe he is in a very bad condition, he need to talk to someone, even he/she is a stranger. I wanna say something to comfort him, but I don’t know what to say. I just keep listening and ask him a little question. I cannot do anything to help him. Deep inside my heart, I feel so stupid. I can see and feel his problem, but I don’t have something to help him.
While I’m thinking again, I feel that I’ m still lucky. I have all I want, I have my family and my friend. I live in a very good condition and I can feel all the happiness. Why sometimes I need to complaint about my life?Why I still push mysely to get something better?Why I need to jealous for other thing that is not important?I’m very ashame of myself. That day, I learnt something from the taxi driver…..

Have you feel like there is a bomb inside your heart?

It ’s feel like there is something hurt you inside and ready to explode. Just wait for the timer, cannot guess when is the correct time. What you need is to find the bomb squad to stop it, but it is difficult to find one.

Just thinking to run away, as far as I can, to avoid it explode right in front of the people you love. Afraid to hurt them… It is better to hurt you only.

I don’t want the people I love is worried and afraid. Does it better to keep it inside your heart?

Or just run to the place where you are the only one, when you feel so tired just explode it!

Really…. it’s too tired to keep it ….

Have you ever been thinking what is the best place to cry?

The answer is in the taxi at night (must at night or else somebody outside can see you are crying) while bring you to pass the road of Jakarta plus traffic! It’s exciting coz no body knows you are crying. Do not worry about the taxi driver, he will not know as he drive you and concentrate on the way.

While you are looking outside, the way, the traffic, the building, the lamp, suddenly you cry (for any reason) and you will think what makes you cry. Finally you will find the point is not why you cry but you can have "your" own time, only you, your privacy!

But becareful, you must control yourself, do not make any sound or else the taxi driver will see and ask. And if someone call you while you are crying, you should control your voice or better just silent the phone. Do not suddenly pick up the phone but takes a long breathe to control your emotion, then the people who call you will not kow that you are crying ^_^

Before arrive, take tissue or water to wash your face, then no body will know that you has just cried.

The second best place to cry is "you" own bedroom….

Have a nice weekend!

Have you ever dreamt about your "prince charming"? Hoping that he will kiss you and make you don’t want to wake up? Hoping that he always stay beside you and love you so much? Hoping that he will give his heart for you only? Hoping that he will whisper all good words to make you smile, make you laugh, and finally make you "drunk"? Hoping that he will take care of you for the rest of your life?

Maybe every people have their own dream. Have their own hope. Have their own faith. But, it is very difficult to "wake up" from your dream. Maybe he only belongs to you in your dream.

It will make you lazy to wake up, only wanna continue the dream, coz dreaming is better than reality. But, we live in the "real" word, we cannot run away from our life, our "true" life!

If your dream is not coming true, you will be disspointed. Maybe your heart will hurt. And you lost your "soul" to live!

But it is not the end of the world, don’t you believe on "miracle"? Maybe He has his own plan for your life. The greatest love you will receive. Failure is only a stone on the way you walk to make you aware, to make you stronger, to make you more "careful" to step.

What we can do is only praying, hope He will give the best, hope He will give the strength to step, hope He will love you more, and hope He will take care of you.

Today’s blog is dedicated to someone special. Someone who wakes me up this morning with sms, tell about faith, love, and hope ^_^

For this "special friend", I just want to say that he is not meant to be for you. It’s time to "wake up", to walk a step further, to find your "true" love. You are so special, so precious, and so lovely. You deserve someone that "love" you with all his heart. He is just a dream that will always come when you sleep, but in the real life, he is no one. Forget him! You need to protect your heat and "build" it again with love, the one that he ever broke into pieces.

Just want to say "Jiao You"! Hope I can see you smile again, now, tomorrow, and forever….

Yay, finally today I have time to enjoy Palembang, sightseeing of Palembang city. Thank you for Ayu and her "friend" who invite me and Wena to see the city ^_^

This morning me and Wena go to church together (Ayu, why do you lazy to go to church? The God is asking, hehehe) by "becak", traditional transportation in Palembang (cannot find "becak" anymore in Jakarta, but it is really nice to have a nostalgy). At church we saw a cute baby brought by her mother to get blessed from the father, she is really cute…. But we cannot find her anymore after the church (Wena don’t kidnap the baby ^_^), really wanna pinch her puffed up cheek.

After waiting few hours, finally Ayu come out to my hotel with her "friend". Yu, we are waiting for such a long time, hope it don’t disturb you ^_^

We have great time, sailing Musi river using speed boat to a small island in the middle of the river. Just enjoy the wind and the water of Musi river, hahaha… We pass the "Ampera" bridge and "Sriwijaya" fertilizer factory, one of the biggest factory in Indonesia.

There is a small temple at the island, many people go to the temple during "Cap Go Meh" festival, also half built pagoda . Maybe it’s not crowded today because it’s not a special day to go to a temple.

We feel so dirty and wet because of the water from the river, so…. next stop is salon ^_^

Before that, I get a chance to take a picture with "Ampera" bridge, the famous bridge in Palembang, I heard this is the longest bridge at Indonesia (correct me if I’m wrong!)

I wash my hair and do creambath, really nice, this is one way to do "brain wash", and Wena cut her hair.

Finally we back to hotel and go out to have dinner at one cafe at Palembang Square. Some of Wena’s friend is joining the dinner. Really nice and friendly, we laugh and talk about many things while having dinner. Makes me remember during the "old" days with my "old" friends while I stay in Medan and Surabaya for such a long time. Miss you all guys…. ^_^

It’s raining again! So, Wena’s friend send me back to hotel by car, actually it’s just a few step from the mall, but I don’t want to make my hair wet anymore (like yesterday) coz i has just do creambath! Thank’s guys for sending me home, hope we can chat again in Jakarta, nice to share the time with you….

Regards,

Girl @ Palembang
