books
July 16, 2008i’m reading flipped a book by wandelin van draanen.
back to indo i carried more than 30kg things. but i only checked in 25 kg, since 1 kg excess (from 25) will be charged 350R (more than IDR400,000). and we didn’t have any cash, and the atm was having a problem on giving us money. CHILLIES!!!
so i carried my excess to the cabin. most of the stuff are souvenirs that i will give to others in my home. and my clothes with the suitcase was only 15kg. i thought i will be back empty and lite.
i was wrong. cause i did shop… and made me carried another almost 30kg things. i knew.. i love my self.
i brought food raw, indo spices that i can’t get here.
5 bottles tomato sauce, 5 bottles chilli sauces, some soy sauces, some terasi, some dried mushrooms, few palm sugars and more stuffs, … and the best part is cobek = crusher!!!! it felt like as if i would be able to live 3 thousand months more by the stuffs…
and now i ended up realize that i forgot to buy more stuffs… sniffsss… sobs… cry…
my flight back to SA was a common flight. i flew with malaysian airline, so i have to stopped by in malaysia. it’s a nice airport.
but while i checked in, there’s a lil trouble… they said my flight is being canceled. how come? it’s only my flight… then they cheked me in again… solved but after that came other problems. my boarding pass can’t be printed. how come? after waiting for a while, they were about giving me the printed boarding pass… vada… they find a way to print it somehow. but after that… come a so called lucky problem.
somehow… by mistake they upgraded my flight to first class ticket… awe awe awe…
but… again… they solve it. they don’t want to be burdened with the bill upgrading my flight.
and all the problems took more than 2 hours to be solved. and i’m end up same as before. ooopss… nooo… my status now is “an almost first class girl”… uuu… it’s always better almost than nothing, rite?
i had the food that like most from the home.
my mom’s cooking,
and butter fried crab,
mixed tofu (tahu campur) in my friends wedding
fried duck
a lots more … but i did forget to buy pangsit and crazy fried rice… nasi goreng gila ![]()
last week i had my whole week holiday in Indonesia… nothing so special unless that 1week,7days is a very short term to enjoy the holiday. i had to go to my friend wedding, it’s not a “wedding tresno jalaran soko kulino” = “a love wedding because you are stick to your couple so you can’t get away for years, and the last option to do is marry him”. and it was more looked alike a reunion of my college friends… cos almost of all were there. we did have fun… talked about our college stories, which is one of the best time ever had.
indonesian wedding for some foreigner is a weird wedding. cause most of the time people have to invite a lot lot of colleagues (500-2000). it can be bride’s parents’ or bride’s or groom or his parents’. so the invitation letter will be arround that ammount. and the venue have to be fit for that ammount. and the decoration also have to be fit with the size of the venue, so that the venue will be lokeed nice. and the food… and the sound systems, cos we don’t want it to be a quiet party. and sometime people hire singers or a group of singers or a band with the equipment as well. and the committee (that’s what we call the WO or who ever that will keep the party goes smooth)
before i went to the wedding, i did realize that i had no gown or any nice outfit. and i had no shoes… than i decided to go for it a day before the wedding. with my mum, i found a pair of nice white high heels shoes from Charles and Keith. i love them. and a pair of sandals as well, and i was broke to death so that i havve to face a reality i can’t afford the fiscal to go back to south africa (i borrowed money from fauzan).
the photos coming soon… wait after the bride gone home from honeymoon

yesterday, we went to a foreign exchange counter. the first line of the queue was another foreigner who was upset by the regulation of this country. he said, “this country is funny”
we immediately take a deep breathe…and together say “yeah…rite…”
we’ve got our turn then, and eventually we had all our rands changed into dollars. nice. then we were turning back and about to leaving, when we found out that the dollars that they gave us was 2003 version, and mine even 1996 version. what the heck?
we finally back in the cue, and having it changed to the latest version.
well, it kinda giving them the turn to say “funny country…”
hihihi… well considering i have had all my dollars after a long struggling, i said in victory… “no country is perfect man…”
what we normally do as chem engineer for our project which the plant is already exist is (revamp/replace) actually marking up the MFD or P&ID, and give it to the client to be reviewed/checked.
hihihi… sniff…
well, the MFD marked up basically clasified into 2 terms. the destruct and the construct. the destruct is for showing deleted existing items (that need to be changed), and the construct is for showing the new item among the old that we still use.
well, without decreasing my respect to the person, which i do like him. and he is one of my closed friends, this is the example of the destruct:
having said, without decreasing my respect and my thought of him, sniffs… love you brow…
and this is the example of the construct
we can delete the item for good if we wont need it any more (demolish), or we can just change in to a new items (replace). after all the MFD will be approved by the client.
me:”have you got my email?”
he:”what? what email? which one?”
me:”well, have a quick check, and tell me” *pushing his back to get close to his desk*
~he sounded as if he has not got the email~
he:”what? do you need me to reply it?”
me:”no! cause i’m here man.”
~i sounded as if i did not need his reply.that’s what woman do, rite?~
apparently, after i reach his desk, my email is on his comp window. watdehek? got what i mean?
and he didn’t need to much time to answer my question in the email. ow…ow…ow…
my email was about to ask him to join us watch a movie. he has actually hang the decision whether he would come or not since 2 days ago. *seems he would like to go join, but he thought he couldn’t make it due to his hectic schedule*. fyi, he has his master, he has sports life and work for 50 hours a week. so at that time, he immediately said he could not join us. and i said… “cucian de lo”
but… he stop me, and said “hey… when you guys leaving back?”
me: “4th of July”
he: “hey! we still have another tuesday. why don’t we go for Kungfu Panda man?”
me: “i don’t know. i need to go ask my friends about this”
~uuu… ~
citra’s comment:”would it make him turn his face to you?”
hihihi
carinee comment:”he’s lying it means he’s bad person. what else?”
arusha comment:”oooo….”
my comment:”let sie…ooops let see…”
this morning, while i was about going to the office, citra found that the tire is flat… so we had to change it with the new one. it was quite interesting, since i’ve never experienced that before… hihihihi…
taufiq and citra was coping. so there i was. standing doing nothing. hhiihihihi…and chilled.
today is another hectic day. works, and anything deals with it. since i n citra are knew here(in South Africa and new in doing things as well), we know nothing about doc procedures. registering, make a query to client, every thing. and i learnt a lot by today.
everythings here is new for me. and lunatic i guess. but i do enjoy it. the rush, the keep-your-mind-busy, and sometime the mistakes that i did and i tried my best not to show them infront off big boss, since now i have lil boss upper me.
but still i can have a lil smile by the emails that my old chem eng sent. first triger is ebes. he sent a lil fun experience while we were at college. it was replied by all continuing his email. it is a nostalgic memory.

yesterday, we hold such a small party in fountain hill, our B&B. we cooked indonesian food, such as nasi kuning, rendang, perkedel jagung dan kentang, sambel kecap, ayam goreng, mihun goreng, with limited raw and limited tools. GOSH! it were two hectic days.
fortunate for us, we were coping. so we can have all the menu done, and delicious (in my opinion). though, I was scared to death it wont make on their tongue (it was all new for them).
we invite carinee (but she can not come) and BF, arusha and BF (she came after made a joke to me, that she was on the way to pretoria, at the last minute we waited her), erich, and theko :).
it was a nice lunch, ended with pool. Jas, arusha’s BF is the best. then theko, then erich, then us, well, i am the very last. hiks. and took pics of course.
i saw movies last nite. 2 actually.
~shawshank redemption~ all i can say is he is cool. andy dufresne.
~the fountain~ *spoiler alert* this movie remains me of someone. someone who i ever loved so much.
the followings are the scene which made me wince, remembering.
hiks.
beberapa mggu lalu yg punya fountain hill cerita kalo di afsel sekarang sama dulu itu beda banget. *ya e ya lah mbak*
dulu waktu dia kecil, masih banyak anak2 kecil berkeliaran naik sepedanya…
sekarang gak ada…
dulu waktu govermentnya dia *yg dia pilih*, afsel aman terkendali…
sekarang dia gak mau milih lagi di pemilu, afsel jadi gak ada lagi anak kecil yg sepedaan di jalan…
kata dia anak kecil sekarang gak boleh sepedaan/sekedar keliaran di jalan. karena ada SANGGOMA.. *sounds like children’s nitemare*
~office, w Mrs. M, afternoon~
I was shocked by the email of the itinerary of my flight to indo. first, it was wrong city. I want it to be surabaya, but they booked me to Jakarta!!!!! wadehek wadehek…
another thing that shoked me even more, is they booked me with malaysian airline. not singapore airline as they promised me i can use. citra’s flight is singapore airline, cause she use the ticket that Jakarta office gave us.
the thing was the manager had promised me that i will get the same flight till singapore, and from sinapore i will go to Surabaya.
I hate it. i hate it. I hate it.
i went to her rite away. with the others. questioning why? why? why? eee.. instead having a nice explanation more over appologies, we got stung. what a hard woman.
“who are you? there is no way you get the expensive one! you could only get the cheap one”
*dumbfounded, did i do something wrong?*
Biasanya ku pelipur laramu
Biasanya ku hapus air matamu
Ku katakan semua kan baik-baik saja
Namun saat ini, saat kujatuh dalam hidupku
Reff:
Kubutuh dirimu berbagi bebanku
Temani diriku lalui saat ini
Katakan padaku semua kan berlalu
Dekaplah diriku saat ini kurapuh
Biasanya ku tak pernah goyah
Biasanya aku tetap tenang
Aku mampu hadapi rintangan menghadang
Namun saat ini, saat kujatuh dalam hidupku
Repeat reff
Hanya untuk malam ini
Peluklah aku
Repeat reff
