Good old times

Time does fly! Couldn’t stop smiling reading all these posts Thanks to that anonymous commenter I found these old gems Mas saM

Hey, Cantik!

I'm not a poetic person, well maybe I'm the worst in the world. Somehow, I do really want to say sorry with an elegant way to a very special friend. So I searched a little and found a simple yet meaningful apologetic poem on friendship. Yes, this is for you:

True friendship is a gift
Oh so precious and so rare
Sometimes we take it for granted
Sometimes we do despair

Our fault is being human
Mistakes are everywhere
Please let me not lose the gift
That is so precious and so rare.

I'm sorry, friend!

Morning Ritual

My morning principle is to wake up as late as I can be as long as I'm not late to office. Office hour is 9.30, commuting time is 45 minutes, taking bath + getting ready is 30 minutes (I always have breakfast in the office).... so I can wake up at 8.15 am! If I woke up before that, I would sleep again until 8.15! I feel fresher in the office. Maybe this is my revenge for waking up too early when I was working in Blahblahblah.

But today, I woke up 1 hour earlier and could not get back to sleep. Too much sleeping on the weekend, I guess. Hell yeah I don't want to come to office earlier than 9.30 hahaa so after shower and everything, I.... watched HIMYM! Well I found it is also enjoyable (you got that, Ted? Enjoyable!), doing something before heading to office. In my previous house, morning was always hectic. The landlady occupied the kitchen, the whole family were having breakfast together in the dining room, I didn't have my own space. So I loved to not spend the morning in the house.

But now I have a big space. Why don't I prepare my own breakfast, rather than grabbing some breads/muffins while waiting for the bus. Why don't I have breakfast on the dining table while sipping coffee and reading newspaper or watching HIMYM, rather than on the office table while (pretending) reading codes in Visual Studio (ergh!). Why don't I go down to the pool, swimming or reading books on the pool chair.

Yeah, there's something we can do between waking up and going to office. I just realized that (Miss Ingu must be happy about this)!

Only I Can Be Me

This is Miss Ingu on a Sunday morning!

I am a morning person. I was born at 5:17 AM GMT+7 and although currently I live somewhere in GMT+8 area, I set my alarm at 5:17 AM everyday.

I love waking up early in the morning (5 is quite early for me!). It's not that I manage to pull that everyday but I never regret the day I rise before the sun does.

I love my solitude moment in the morning. Catching up with myself, checking what I've been up to, letting myself enjoy the life, breathing the air just for myself, things like that, you know.

I'm so in love with morning that I am tempted to fix a rule for everyone. It's good, no, it's great. I enjoy it. Why can't everybody else do that? Why can't it be my suggestion for anybody's better life? Come on, fellow earth people! Wake up and smell the world!

Yeah, that won't work.

This particular morning I wish I am a more socially acceptable people. I wish people notice me more, comment on my status. I wish I know what to say on some casual hang out moments. I wish I had witty lines fresh and ready inside my brain.

Yeah, that won't work.

When the world is only in plain vanilla, it will lose its only flavor. It will become tasteless. I think if inspiration only comes in the morning, if everyone is being in love with the idea of waking up in the morning to get the best of the day, I think it will lead to a big cut of wonderful things.

I can already imagine a thing or two. The awesomeness of stars and things up above. The peace of cool silence which is distinctly different from morning silent breeze.

And I have my own flavor. I might not have in my hands the flavor of being popular. I might have in my hands only few doses of social skill but I think that's the best equipment that I could have.

.
.

Who knows the number of skills in this world? I bet it's a big number! And an advice about traveling I read somewhere told me to travel light. And yeah, if life is a journey, I want to travel light.

I might not get the Swiss knife, a compact tool that gives you many things you need with the size of the palm of your hand. I might only get a 14 inch of laptop and ten fingers which weigh ten times more than a Swiss knife, but the fact is.. only I can be me, the same thing with only you can be you.

Who knows what the future brings? Maybe in the next few months or days I will get myself a set of skill that I have never had before. There's no rule saying that we'll be carrying the same set of skills for a lifetime.

And there's no rule saying that I cannot force myself to do something with the skill I am not prepared with. Who knows? It could be that I just didn't see it before or it could result in a failure, maybe big one. And if it fails me, does my life end just like that?

You wish!

I am traveling light,
I am enjoying the scenery...
and it's magnificent!

cheers,

You Are Not Dr. Lightman

I promise I won't read your mind anymore.

I think.
I think.
I think that is a stupid line.

You're not Dr. Cal Lightman.
Nobody is.

Question To The Mouth

Can we really speak without meaning it? at all?

Say, just to fulfill the need to speak.

If we can,
are we lying that way?

This is a question to the mouth,
and brain,
and soul (are you an organ, dear soul?)

Do I really mean to ask this?

Hello Work

The heck that's going on every working morning in my life now is Knowledge Quiz 9.30-10.00 AM. So fun!

Less Dream More Reality

I woke up at 7 AM to realize that it's too early to get up. My alarm would ring at 8. So I just laid on the bed, checking my emails, twitter and blog comment until I overslept again.

In that short moment, I had a really nice dream: I've been sent to Dublin for business travel!

Too bad it's just a dream.

If only I straightaway got up eventough it's earlier than usual, I wouldn't have that dream. But there's a chance it would be happened in the real life, if only I was not too lazy everyday.

Have a fabulous week ahead! Give our best effort for work ;)

P.S. Do you know why it's Dublin? Because right before I overslept again, I read a comment in my blog from a blogger in Dublin

Older Spock to younger Spock:
"Spock, do yourself a favor: Put aside logic, do what feels right."

[I think] I am Ted Mosby

Every single time I tried to make myself a little bit less Ted, I ended up regretting whatever I was doing.

It sucks.
It really does.

I think I'll stop trying to be someone else other than me.
Even if that means I have to be Ted for the rest of my life.
So what?

Yes, I think I am Ted Mosby.
Deal with it!




*think I should change my name signature*

HSDPA

sweet...

singing: I want to be a geek a little bit more..!

01022010

Just want to say that today is a good day.
1. The date 01022010 is a perfect palindrome.
2. It's payday.
3. I am now free from an inconvenient monthly routine because suddenly my boss told me that he was going to replace me staying at the office tonight.

So what's the plan for tonight?
Think I'll make my salary useful.
Umm.. you know what I mean, ihihi..

Ahh... I feel good! *start to sing (and dance)*

Hi There, February!

Dear fellows and February,

I proudly report that my January morning Kaching went smooth except for few days (but I managed to catch up).

Hey, hmm..

I got a lot to say this morning. I did. Now.. I just don't know how to say it..
But please let me try.

OK, I can't.

I can't.

Sorry I bother you reading something like this. Hm..

I feel like I need to put a stop into something.
The sentence has come to the period.
The rainy season is here again.

.. and I'm writing this listening to this one of Glee soundtrack (it's a song by Rolling Stones actually):

You can't always get what you want.
You can't always get what you want.
You can't always get what you want.

Oh, wait. Let me rewrite it in my own way:

I can't always get what I want.
I can't always get what I want.
I can't always get what I want.

.
.
.

But if I try sometimes, I just might find
I get what I need.

Family... NOT!

Where I could find a Self Confident, a Speaking English Fluently Skill, a Know What To Say In The Right Time, a Get New Friends Easily, a Keep Close With Old Friends, a Quick Adaptability, a Generous Not Jealousy Feeling? Do you think eBay sells them?

Giant

As if one Ivan Gunawan in Indonesia is not enough, now in my kosan suddenly out of nowhere comes another one! Well, let's call her him Ivan Gunawan, Jr. Imagine the size of Ivan Gunawan body (focus on her his thigh!), scale it 1:1.1879 precisely, make the skin a lot darker, equip that huge body with Ivan Gunawan's thunder-like voice, then polish it with thick javanese accent (we, Indonesian, call it medog). Voila, meet Ivan Gunawan, Jr.!

I don't have any problems with a gigantic body, but if that body wears a super short pants which shows off his supersize thigh, that definitely is a crime to my eyes. Moreover, her his thick javanese accent voice is so loud that everyone in the house could hear her him having a concert in living room every morning while watching her his favorite TV program, the wasteful infotainments. Yes, she he watches infotainment every morning and sinetron in the evening. That's surely worse than the real Ivan Gunawan, even though the size is a little smaller.

Dear Ivan Gunawan, Jr., one Ivan Gunawan in Indonesia is more than enough, so please would you get the f*ck out of my lovely peaceful kosan!!!

I Am Awesome

Deal with it!


*ahhh.. great morning is when I can say that every day!

Dear Mas Sam,

I am

Seriously,
are you alive?

Sunday

Oh Boy! Today I do look like a fcuking housewife, woke up then took out some laundry from jemuran then took a shower then cooked then swept the floor and changed the bed. While my roommates directly went out somewhere to get a life.

Everyday is Holiday

It feels something wrong if we were too lazy to wake up in the morning to go to work. But there's nothing I could do about it. We're all trapped in this routine activity to earn money, so we can eat and live and pay our bills and buy some luxury bags. Everyday I said to myself, I will find my dream job someday....

the one that I really like and enjoy
the one that seems like hobby, not a job
the one that I will have full spirit to wake up whenever it's time to wake up
the one that I will be really focus when doing it
the one that I will be creative on it
the one that makes me not to have to thank God it's Friday
the one that I can't wait for weekend to finish

Actually, the one that makes me no longer having the terms of 'weekend' and 'weekdays'.

TGIF!
