A Year Has Passed..

Yups.. A year has passed since I started working..

I've been a working girl for a year.. yeaaaaayyy...

I still can't believe that it has been a year since I joined this company.. 

I guess I say this quite often.. Time does fly.. and it flies really fast.. 

Last year I was in Singapore, doing my training back then..

It was my first time being in the compounding lab and did my 1st compounding ever.. 

Hahahaha.. Btw, my mentor hasn't resigned yet, rite? 

The last time I contacted him was like.. errr.. last year.. hahahaha..

Anyway... I guess this really is my first real job..  hurraaayyy...

Well.. so far so good.. I still feel comfortable with the office atmosphere..

Work load is still manageable.. 

Colleagues are nice.. we hang out after work quite often actually.. and no.. not only in the gym..

We go to the movies.. we go out for dinner.. 

Maybe because we're like almost the same age..  I said almost.. ;)

Well.. Happy 1st anniversary to me, the working girl.. ^_^

P.S.: I hope there will be a 2nd anniversary..  ;)

First post in 2013.

It's been such a long time since I last posted sumthing here..
Honestly I really have no idea what to share..
Because my life here is pretty much the same each day..
Well.. sumthing has been different tho since February this year..
So.. my company had this idea of doing sports program..
So some of us were signed up for a gym..
It goes like this.. the 40% of the monthly fee was paid by the company, and the rest has to be paid by us by deducting straight from our monthly salary..
I mean I thought it was a pretty good deal.. since actually I planned to sign up for a gym with my aunt..
At first I thought that it was a good idea, but now.. I really have no idea what was I thinking back then when I agreed to sign up for a gym.. *sigh*
What burdens me is that of course the company gave us some terms and conditions.. hohoho..
We have to go to the gym at least 8 times monthly, otherwise we have to pay for the monthly fee 100%.. O_o
The first month was going smoothly.. I was still excited to join classes and stuff..
But now.. the motivation has gone.. hahaha..
I only go to the gym so that my salary won't be deducted more.. -___-;;
Honestly I still am interested in joining the body combat class..
But.. I just don't like the people who are already regulars there..
I'll write about those people on my next post.. I gotta go now.. I have a date with the NRW-ers..and I'm the only Berliners.. See you later..  

P.S.:This month has only been the second month by the way.. I still have 10 months to go.. Boooo!!

This is somewhat true..

You Think That Intelligence is Glamourous

You find nothing more disappointing than a gorgeous person who is completely vapid. You can't respect anyone who doesn't exercise his or her mind. There's something incredibly appealing about someone who can speak intelligently about any subject at any length. You also appreciate people who are well mannered and well behaved. Politeness goes a long way for you. The most glamourous people you know totally have it together. Allure is never skin deep for you.

I should take up photography..

You Should Take Up Photography

You are often indecisive and conflicted. You see all sides of every issue. You often prefer to observe than to take a stand. You find it more interesting to notice every detail. You need to do something to understand it. You learn best with hands-on training. You notice the little things that others just pass by. You know how to make the mundane interesting.

What Crafty Hobby Should You Take Up?

P.S.: Is this a sign that I should by a DSLR camera? ;p And this result is so me!

I'm elegant.. yeaaay!

You Are Elegant

You are creative and good with your hands. You are naturally an artist. You pride yourself on having excellent taste in music, movies, and food. You are detailed oriented - even the smallest things don't escape your eye. Good at facts and figures, you excel at logical and mathematical tasks.

P.S.: What do you think? 

2012..

Yes.. it's 2012 already.. and it's not the end of the world.. yeaaaayyy...

Geez.. I really am such a bad blogger.. -___-;;

So.. where should I start?

I went to my sister.. spent Christmas there..

Then I visited my cousin and her super cute daughter.. Kyoko chan!

Seriously.. Kyoko is such a cutie pie.. awwww... I miss her so much..

I had a small reunion with a friend from junior high.. she and her beau took me around the city.. reminisced about old times..and talked about things..

I had a weekend getaway with Amel unnie and Giscard ahjussi..

Then went back to Jakarta earlier than we planned due to a job interview..

And yes! I finally got the job after like 4 or 5 interviews.. yeaaaayyyyy...

This is my last week of being jobless.. wish me luck people!

Then my mom and I went to the Holy Land..finally..

Long story short.. I actually have a lot to tell.. hahahaha..

But I'm just too lazy to write..

So the next post will be my experience during my visit to the Holy Land..

because it's gonna be quite a long post.. so I don't wanna write it here...

And that's it!

See u soon on the next post!!!

P.S.: 2012 resolution: be a good blogger! *finger crossed*

You are my star...

I think I've posted this video before.. but I wanna post it again because..
I miss Epik High so bad.. T_T
Mithra and DJ Tukutz are still in the army.. and Tablo is MIA.. T_T

Happy 1st Anniversary..

... to Debo and Abang.. hihihi.. wow.. it's been a year since you guys got married..
ouu.. it means that it's been a year since I humiliated myself in front of a lot of people.. -___-;;

Yeah.. failed.. big time..

I guess time does really fly..
It means also that it's been almost a year since I graduated.. and I still have no idea what I wanna do with my life..
Grad school? yes.. I do wanna pursue my study.. but I've never thought that finding the rite grad school is so freaking hard.. Maybe it is because I still don't know what I want to study.. where I want to study.. -___-;;
It's so typically me.. I know I'm such an indecisive person..
Scholarship? yes I also do want to apply for scholarship.. but I don't have that super perfect GPA..
Job? arrgghh.. I don't wanna talk about it.. next!!
See.. my life is so complicated.. and I think it is because of me.. I make my life complicated..
and then again the what-if-questions came up.. and this time the I-wish-statements tagged along..

this is one of my I-wish-statements.. I wish I had the money I wanna travel the world.. starting from Indonesia.. I do think that Indonesia has a lot of beautiful place to visit..
ouu.. I wish I had a sophisticated camera, that would be a perfect match with the first I-wish-statement.. but my mom said no! She wouldn't allow me to buy a sophisticated camera.. She said I would abandon the camera as soon as I get bored.. hahahaha..
I think I just have to bury my dream to be a photographer.. hmmm.. although.. there was one person who told me that I looked like a photographer.. hohoho..
ok.. focus! I just stick to scientist.. speaking of scientist.. I haven't finished my book "The Grand Design" by Stephen Hawking.. hahaha.. I bought the book like 3 months ago.. maybe it's the contents.. or maybe it's the language.. or maybe it's the fact that I don't like physics.. or maybe it's just me, who's not smart enough to understand.. ok.. I'll blame the language, I think I could understand better if I read the English version.. ;p what an alibi.. huahahahahaha...
No.. it's not that I'm not proud of my mother tongue.. it's just that sometime the translation is just not rite.. as in.. it cannot explain as good as the original (English) version.. yeah whatever..
ok.. to make it simpler.. I'm not that smart enough to understand what Stephen Hawking wrote.. there.. happy?

Bali Trip..

I just got back from Bali.. again.. this time not for wedding.. it's just that my aunt asked me and my mom to go with her so that my grandma would go to Bali..and due to the fact that we would stay at my mom's friend's house.. however... my grandma fell like a few days before the trip.. so she cancelled the trip because she said that she still had headache..
But actually it was a good thing that she didn't come along..

I ended up helping my cousin's wife baby sitting the boys.. we went to Bali Zoo.. ouu.. an interesting fact.. the entrance ticket price for locals and foreigners is different.. it is a lot cheaper for locals.. at first we were quite surprised to see that the price was actually in USD and it was quite pricey.. thank God we're locals.. hahaha..
The zoo was okay.. Maybe it was because of the boys.. they were like really excited.. so it made me a little bit excited too.. going to the zoo with kids did give a different vibe..

Look how fascinated the boys are..

After lunch we went to the Monkey Forest.. and the drama happened.. My cousin's wife got bitten by a monkey.. this wasn't my first time going to this monkey place.. I've been to this kinda place before.. but this was my first time witnessing a monkey bit someone.. I think I heard that one of the boys hit the monkey when the monkey jumped to their mom's back.. maybe that was why.. I dunno..

So the next day.. the boys wanted to go to the beach.. actually they wanted to go swimming.. not entirely swimming.. they wanted to go to the water park kinda thing..then I said.. "I can't go with you.. I can't swim" In the end we went to the beach.. because the boys wanted to build sand castle.. at first we went to Dreamland, but the wave was too high, so it was kinda scary to let the boys play there.. then we went to Nusa Dua.. we started to unpack our belongings.. but then a security came to us and asked us to move to another area, because this area were for Grand Hyatt's customer only and we were not..
What funny was.. I didn't know that my other cousin was actually staying at Grand Hyatt... I just found out the day after we kicked out by the security guy.. hahaha..

The last 4 days of the trip were filled with eating and shopping.. hahaha.. yes.. another episode of diet screwing.. -___-;; ouuuw.. I found a cute t-shirt.. a poo printed t-shirt.. I fell in love with the t-shirt at the first sight.. too bad it was a male t-shirt.. ouuu...ouuuu.. I should've bought the smallest size.. yea rite.. smart me! I think my mom will give the poo t-shirt to someone else.. booooo...Dear the future owner of the t-shirt.. please take good care of it.. *I will upload the pic later*

I wish this were mine.. :(

In conclusion, I have to be on a strict diet thanks to the trip.. and my skin is indeed darker than before.. *sigh*

P.S.: "Dieting is not a piece of cake." ~Unknown~

Ssssssshhhhhhh!!!!

Aarrrrgghhh.. this is killing me.. I really wanna blurt everything out.. but I just can't.. since this is supposed to be a freaking secret..
but I guess I can tell that we're going to have lunch with the bride-to-be next week at.. arrrrrrgghhh.. I can't tell where.. since the place is also supposed to be a secret too..
ok.. I don't think she will read my blog anyway.. nobody reads my blog.. -___-;;
well.. just in case she read this..
I still can't believe that the wedding is getting closer and closer.. less than 2 weeks..

ouuu.. I finally tried to spend my blood.. but I wasn't allowed to do it, because of my freaking hemoglobin.. if I knew this earlier.. I would go to this mass with OMK thingy to see my other bestie performed.. -___-;;
So in the end I just stayed home... alone.. my mom went lunch with her friends..
and I remembered.. my mom didn't prepare lunch for me.. so yes.. I was home alone and starving.. or maybe it was a reminder for me to really start the effing diet..
Speaking of diet.. I lost weight.. yeaaaaayyyy... i lost like 2 kg.. *big grin*
maybe I really should reconsider my decision to resign.. hyahahahaha..

Last night we.. okay my mom was invited to her friend's birthday dinner.. and then there was this welcome drink.. it was actually vegetable juice.. and it was served in a test tube..
I was sooooo happy that I drank juice from a test tube.. I'm such a geek.. hahaha..

P.S.: I am really more excited than the bride-to-be.. *giggle giggle*

Tough decision..

Nothing really interesting happened to my life lately.. My life evolves around home, work, and plant.. yups.. nothing much happened..
Ou.. I finally did it.. I submitted my resignation letter..
it was actually a tough decision to make.. I like working here.. I really do.. The people are nice.. It's just that I don't really like what I do..
Well.. people don't always get what they want in real life.. yes.. that sucks.. but we have to deal with it.. Reality is cruel..
Some told me not to quit, some told me to quit..
I just hope I made the right choice..
But I told them, if they haven't found a new replacement.. I still can work until they find it.. don't u think it's a very polite resignation? hihihi..

Anyway... one of my bestie is getting married in 2 weeks.. ok.. I can't say her name.. Since this is not supposed to be exposed.. but hey.. I'm a blogger.. I share stories.. hahaha..
Ok.. so she told us like 2 weeks ago.. she invited me and my other bestie.. We were like.. "yeay.. we're going to Bali.." yups.. the wedding is in Bali..
ouu.. fyi dear, if u happen to read this.. your wedding is one of the reason I submitted my resignation letter this soon.. hahahaha..
I'm more excited than the bride-to-be.. wonder why.. hahahaha..
but she's like the wackiest bride-to-be I've ever knew.. She hasn't decided which wedding dress she's going to wear on THE day.. Even we, the guests, already prepared which dress we're going to wear.. hahahaha..
see we're like more excited than the one who's going to get married..

Internet oh internet..

I did once say that I wasn't gonna blame my internet connection..
but look what the internet has done to me.. it pissed me off.. (oops.. sorry for the language..)
I just wanna try to keep my promise..
I feel like updating my blog..
Honestly I miss my writing.. I don't even write my diary anymore.. btw, where is my diary?
well.. I guess it must be somewhere here or at my grandma's..

So.. internet connection.. it is still a problem for me apparently..
Is there any blogger application for blackberry? Did I just say (or write) blackberry? I stil am in denial that I own a blackberry..
I could only find tumblr and wordpress.. I already have tumblr on my blackberry.. does that mean that I should convert to wordpress? hohoho..
or maybe I should try this post from e-mail thingy..
I'll think about it.. well.. I am a hardcore procrastinator anyway.. so the possibility of me doing the e-mail thingy is like 1%.. hahahaha..

whew.. look at the time.. I should go to sleep now..
I have to work tomorrow.. work? work?
yes.. I am a working girl.. although it will soon come to an end.. ;p

I'd love to work for Disney..

You Should Work for Disney

You see the big picture, and while you delight in details, you don't get hung up on them. You are original and independent. You're making your own trends and carving your own path. You have your own vision, and it's important to you to express it. You embrace your quirks. Work is very important to you. Work gives you meaning.

P.S.: Happy Birthday to me!!

Happy 3rd Anniversary!

Dear bloggie,

We've been together for 3 years..
I share my stories, thoughts, and feelings with you..
I'm sorry I've abandoned you for too long..
I'm not gonna blame my internet connection this time..
It's just that I don't have any stories to share..
I've been bad to you since I've met Twitter..
But deep down in my heart.. I really miss you..
Please don't be mad at me..
I'm thinking of telling you stories again soon..
So let's start a new chapter..

P.S.: "A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step" ~ Lao Tzu

Welcome 2011..

It's 2011 already.. Happy new year everyone..
oh.. how I miss my blog.. yes.. I admit that I've abandoned this blog for too long..
I don't blame the internet connection this time.. it's just me.. I don't feel like writing, sharing or anything..
I've just realized, actually I have some posts that I haven't published yet.. even there are some posts that I haven't finished..
So after this I'll re-read them and maybe I'll publish the posts.. maybe.. hehehe..

Year 2011.. honestly it doesn't feel like it's 2011.. I don't know.. it just feels the same as 2010..
maybe it's because of the fact that I didn't celebrate it..
yesterday I only went to church to attend the new year's eve mass.. then I went home.. flipped through channel.. saw the countdown.. and continued watching movie.. that was it.. nothing really special..

Time does fly really fast.. it feels like I just came back from Berlin yesterday.. but no.. it's been 4 months already.. and I'm still jobless.. hyahahaha..
I actually planned to apply for grad school.. but I don't think I'm ready for it..
so I try to find a job first.. if there is any.. -___-;;

I don't have any resolution for this year.. I mean I'm a hardcore procrastinator.. so what's the point of having resolution list when I hardly do the list..
I just wanna be a better person.. and do better this year.. learn from last year mistakes.. yups.. that sounds pretty good to me..

P.S. : "The object of a new year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul" ~G. K. Chesterton~

Sweet memories..

Someone forced me to do this.. Hehehe.. Naaahh.. I promised her to write sumthing about her.. And vice versa.. I planned to do this homework when I was still in Berlin due to the fact that I have super lame internet connection in Jakarta.. But I was busy with packing and stuff back then.. So here I am writing this as I promised her..
Warning: This is gonna be a long post.. So be prepared my friend!

Yunita Wongso Dw* Pa***i.. Yes.. I still remember her full name.. - think she's gonna flip out after reading that I just mentioned her full name.. U have a pretty name, young lady! *the owner of the name mentioned above asked me to censor her full name so that nobody can google her*

I met her for the first time at my dorm's common room.. "That's Juni's sister,"sumone told me.. I had heard the rumor about Juni's sister coming to Berlin before.. She wore winnie the pooh t-shirt at that time.. Honestly.. I didn't pay too much attention to the person who was wearing it.. Since pooh was more attratctive.. Hehehe
Btw Nit, do u still remember what we did back then? Here are some clues.. Debo, magazines, guys.. Hohoho.. Ring a bell?

On one gloomy day (at least for me), we chatted on msn.. Question! How on earth did I get ur msn? Actually.. I just random picked whoever was online on msn that day and Nita was the lucky one.. (You should be proud Nit.. Hahahaha) but I think we were still awkward at that time..

One fine day.. We finally went on our "first date".. Errrr.. This sounds really wrong.. But whatever.. Hahahahahaha.. We went to Impala.. (I miss Impala already.. One small elephant vanilla please!) I lent her my notes from my German course.. (Btw, I couldn't find the damn things anymore.. Did someone borrow those notes?) Honestly.. I couldn't recall what we were talking about.. (I surely need ginkgo biloba..) Nit, was that when we came besties?

As far as I remember after that we hung out pretty often, rite? Mostly we studied together.. Yes study..at Hugendubel, Starbucks, FU Bibliothek, where else? Me with my chemistry text books and notes.. Nita with her dictionary and literature books..
Nit, do u still remember? Once u studied at my place while I was busy decorating my ikea photo frames.. Hehehe.. In the end we went to Impala, u still studied while I was enjoying my time.. I helped u a bit tho..well at least I thought so..

Apart from study, we also went together for lunch, shopping, to movies, photo hunting, even just for coffee break. Ouuu..don't forget our trip visiting the doctors.. Nita was my gabbing partner in Berlin..we talked about everything..like eveeerrrryyyything.. She told me that I talked like a teenager.. -__-;; and it seemed that when we were together something weird happened.. The guy at Potsdamer Platz with his annoyed gf was epic.. Btw, how's that Bible study guy at Potsdam doing?

Gosh.. I really have a lot to tell about this one super friend of mine.. I seriously can go on and on and on and on.. She is a really good friend..best friend I would say.. Altho we are *beep* years apart.. I don't feel any generation gap.. Even when I was in a bad mood, her existence can really cheer me up.. I always felt comfie when I was with her.. She often told me "u're smart" and I hate it.. I am not smart Nit! Duh!? (This goes out to all of people who have ever said that to me too)

Now we are miles apart.. I cannot reach her in 15 minutes.. We cannot say.. Let's meet up at Potsdamer Platz..or I'll meet u at Wittenberg Platz..or let's go for lunch, what would u like to eat..
I knew this time would come..but not this soon.. Honestly.. I wasn't ready to say goodbye.. But hey..life goes on.. I have to face the fact that I have to talk to her via bbm.. (Thx to the mentality of Indonesian)
Nit.. I hope we can still be besties when we meet in future.. I hope u would still be the same or even better Nita.. I wish u all the best luck in the world.. And hope that u could find Mr. Ben.. Introduce him to me, u need my approval first.. Hahaha
Thx for being a part of my sucky life in Berlin, Nit! *big hug*

P.S.: "Remember, this is not real! Cyber world is the real one!" ~Nita and Meta~

Bachelor of Science...

Yes.. after a long 4 and a half years.. I finally got my bachelor degree.. hurray..

Just like Tablo said, the fastest way to get out of school is either expulsion or graduation.. In my case.. I chose graduation..

I didn't do very well in my defense, I was panic and I just couldn't think.. I went blank.. nothing came into my mind..

After it was done, I was told to wait outside while they decided my grade.. And after I walked out the door.. everything came back into my mind.. I knew this was coming..

But hey.. life goes on.. honestly.. I don't really care about my grade.. I mean.. I just wanna effing graduate.. that's my goal.. but it seems that grade does matter for some people.. and especially for grad school..

Now I'm already in Jakarta.. with this super slow internet connection.. yes.. I left Berlin for good..

I've never thought that I would leave Berlin this soon.. okay.. I've always wanted to leave Germany as soon as possible..

but.. I think this is just too soon..

Honestly, I wasn't ready.. and I still feel I'm not ready..

I have this love-hate relationship with Berlin and I"m still not ready to end this relationship.. hehehehe..

So.. I finally got my bachelor degree.. and next?

I have no idea what I'm going to do.. I really don't..

I wanna continue my study.. because I think bachelor degree is not enough to survive in reality..

My sister told me to continue in US.. and I am tempted to do what she said..

but the nearest university to her place are UC Berkeley and Stanford..

Sis, u knoe what..ur little sister is not qualified enough to apply for grad school there..

Only miracle can make that happen.. and I'm not a 100% miracle believer..

P.S.: So long Berlin.. hope to see you again..

My birthday is coming..-_-;;

Someone asked me to make a birthday wish list..
there might be things that are beyond the budget.. things that I can only beg my mom or sis to buy for me.. but hey.. it's my birthday wish list..

1. First on the list..I want the damn iPhone..

2. Miss Marc by Marc Jacobs bag

3. mouse ballerina.. also by Marc Jacobs..

4. Pieces of You by Tablo
5. The Amazing Adventures of Working Girl by Karen Burns
6. Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister by Gregory Maguire
7. How Starbucks Saved My Life by Michael Gill8. I want my mom and sister and Henney aka Drinaaa.. Drinaaa... to be here with me and celebrate my birthday together.. ^^

9. This watch.. yes.. by Marc Jacobs..
10. Scholarship to Stanford grad school would be really appreciated.. ;P

11. any kind of cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory as my birthday cake would be nice..
12. the most realistic one.. I need new earphones..

I'm running out of idea.. honestly I don't know what I want for my birthday..
*sigh* I'm seriously not excited about my birthday..
The fact that I'm getting older and haven't graduated yet is haunting me..

P.S. : I'll update the list if I know what I really want..

Happy 2nd Anniversary..

It's been 2 years since I blogged here..
I know I'm not a good blogger.. I barely blog lately..
Well.. I think I become more and more anti social lately.. to the point that I start hating people..
I don't feel like telling stories.. sharing what's on my mind.. I just don't..
and the fact that nothing much happened in my life..
But I do still tweet.. but I don't tweet as often as I used to..
I think the micro blogging thingy really kills the real blogging..
Actually I did write a couple of posts.. but I just kept saving them or even deleting them..
It was just too much for me to click the publish post button..
Well.. some of the posts sounded too depressing... so I thought maybe I shouldn't publish them.. Let's hope that I can keep this blog alive..

P.S. : I just realized it's a good thing that I started on May Day so I always remember.. hehe..

Happy Birthday Mom!!

Happy birthday mom!! aaahh.. I miss my mom.. -_-;;
We tend to quarrel quite a lot when we are together.. but when I'm far away from her.. I really wish that she could be here..
My life was a lot easier back then when she was around..
She always prepared breakfast for me.. She always packed lunch box for me.. She cooked dinner when we were in the mood to have dinner at home..
Even when I was in Jakarta doing my internship.. she was the one who drove me to work and picked me up from work..
And you know what.. I really love going shopping with my mom.. because I don't have to think if it looks good on me or not.. my mom would tell me.. hahaha..
My mom even hung out with me and my friends.. See.. I really have a cool mom! I actually also hung out with her and her friends.. Now I really miss my mom...
Once again.. Happy Birthday mom!!
