ulang ulang ulang

Baru nyadar 3 post gue yang terakhir judulnya repetition semua hahaha (termasuk yang ini sih tapi yg ini sengaja ngulangnya jadi ga masuk itungan hehe)

Rain rain rain

Yesterday I was attending my dad's first book launch. Soo proud of my dad and I am surely hoping to be able to follow his step.
I will, too, someday write a book! Well mungkin bukan buku teori sih tapi lebih ke buku cerita hehehehe.
Bisa ga yaaaa.....Harus bisa! :p

Sekarang lagi excited nunggu jam pulang, mo dijemput Dee hehehe udah kangeeeenn
Dyah lagi liburan ke sini nih tapi cuma bentar sih, kl ga salah cuma 2 minggu aja.

Yikes di luar ujan lagi...musim ujan sudah officially mulai, nyang artinya muacett dimana2!

Hh..kekenyangan ih tadi makan siang plus rujak. Padahal rujaknya udah diserbu rame2 loh.


Kemaren malem nimbang, udah musti mulai diet lagi damn hahaha

Mandi mandi mandi!

Lagi siap2 mo mandi sambil dengerin deep forest and sambil nungguin donlod album Madredeus 2002 can't wait to check out what the music is like hehe.
Bentar lagi dijemput niiiii ma mas Penooo...gue ama mas Peno ama nyokap mo ke tempatnya Joko buat fitting kebaya. Mana gue lagi ndut krn makan mulu dr kmrn and lg bloated juga gara2 ud mo dapet hehehehe. Ribet yaaa cewek tuuuu doh doh doh..

Ayo ayo manda mandiiii jangan maleees!

Ng ng ng ng

Halooo semuaaa

Tadi siang gue abis ketemuan sama career counselor gue yang baik hati bak fairy godmother atau peri birunya pinokio (apa sih) buat ngobrolin objectives dan kondisi gue di kantor yang baru ini. Tadi kita makan siang (ditraktir, yay!) di The Duck King Grand Indo berburu dimsum and Red Mango for dessert afterwards. Walaupun lagi pilek tapi gue tetep aja bablas. Hey don't judge me, freebies tempt me haha. BTW Red Mango enak juga loh, akhirnya ada alternatif laen selain Sour Sally.

Sekarang gue masih di kantor nunggu dijemput mas Peno jam 5 (lama amat sih ayank, pulang kantor tuh before 5 gitu loh hahaha). Tadi sih lumayan uprek2an ada kerjaan dari Rinny. Hihi supervisor gue ini lucu deh, kalo lagi sibuk kayak angin puting beliung bawaannya jadi pengen ngipasin sambil ngasih teh anget (meriaaang kali).

Ih tadi pulang2 dr GI gue sempet kena migreeen, huh. Tapi udah minum obat lama kelamaan sembuh wuhu!

Teruus...apa lagi yaa...

Udah sih gitu doang updatenya ngga ada yang menarik lagi.

Oh iya tadi ujan gede loh (ga penting)

Adrenaline Rush on a Monday Morning

Waaah kok gue semangat sekali yaaa hari Senin iniiii

Padahal ini teh abis begadang jangan begadaaang (bang rhoma foreper) baru tidur jam 1/2 4 pagi aja gituh

Padahal hari ini sambutan pagi pacar gue beda2 tipis ama gaya sipir penjara meng greet para napi2nya di pagi hari (lengkap dengan pentungannya!). Bersyukurlah para sipir2 itu napinya ga ada yang centil kayak gue centil ke cowok gue ya gak om? om? om peno? kitik kitik kitik (apa sih haha) *wink2 --> tapi ini asumsi orang yang ga ada dasar pengetahuan solid tentang kehidupan per-penjara-an dan per-sipir-an sih..

Padahal hari ini gue juga ga salah minum obat atau apa kok sepertinya. Sebelom tidur juga gue ngga munching on sugar.

So this is a natural high! yay!

Wahh...hari ini enaknya ngapain ya kalo gitu?

Setelah pagi2 gue udah menyapa temen2 kantor dengan semangat yang setara dengan org kebanyakan minum kopi pagi2 (ih jadi pengen jus mangga lagi)

Kemaren hari Sabtu gue ketemuan sama Wuuudhiiiiiiiiii. Seru ketawa ketiwi mengenang2 kedudulan2 yang terjadi waktu winter vacation ke Blanda bbrp taun yang lalu. Wudhi bawa temennya yang gue lupa namanya siapa (mari kita sebut saja mas beruang madu untuk saat ini).

Mas beruang madu juga orangnya lucu dan sepertinya agak heran awal2nya melihat 2 mahluk ajaib bernama Manda dan Wudhi yang berumur 26-27an tapi terlihat seperti sepasang anak sekolahan yg masih pake seragam dan ber ransel. Yang 1 bawa ransel sinchan yang 1 bawa ransel kura2 ninja. Lalu 2 mahluk itu bertemu dan mulai ketawa ketiwi ga jelas...

ajaib...

Oh terus tadi malem gue ke kawinan Ayu anaknya tante Melly. Nah si tante Melly ini pretty much adalah referensi si mamah mengenai urusan per-wedding-an gue. Dia di Bidakara juga gedungnya dan pake Akasya juga as the caterer. Cuma kl tante Melly ini pake adat Minang. Bride n Groom nya look pretty! And buat hiburannya mereka pake Endah & Rheza yg lagi lumayan naik daun. Cool gitu buat 1 gedung gede hiburannya cuma 1 quirky singer and 1 quirkier acoustic guitarist. Tapi suaranya jelas kok kedengeran kemana2 and bagus juga. Makanannya juga enak2 kok.

Tapiii sayangnyaaa parkirnya susah banget (kata yg pada dateng sih, gue mah dateng awal jadi belom terlalu antri). Udah gitu gedungnya juga packed with people and panas. Ya iyaa laaah, secara di bagian belakang di salah satu "gubug" makanannya pake bawa panggangan yg biasa buat daging2 kebab yang ber api2 itu loh..yg guedee..jelas aja agak2 gerah hahaha

Nah kita (as in CPW yaitu gue, my bonyok and para panitia kita yg jg dateng di acara itu) jadi puyeng dan berpikir gimana caranya biar kita ga sampe kayak gitu. Soalnya jumlah tamu kita beti gitu deh, mirip2 walopun agak lebih sedikit. Masaaa jam 9 antrian yang mo nyalamin penganten masih panjang aja gituuu, dan denger2 dari aliran pergosipan sopir2 katanya ada bapak2 tua yang jatuh pingsan pas lagi antri mo salam oh no1! (lebay). Dan yang lebih penting lagi, kapan PW dan PP nya mo indehooy, udah keburu teler kali hahaha

Ya Allah semoga yang punya gue nanti berjalan lancar dan nyaman buat yang dateng amiiiin. Jangan sampe bukannya dapet doa malah dapet kutukan2 hahahha

Hmm..terus apa lagi ya yg mo diceritain. Oiyah hari iniiii gue harus inget mo nyetak pas foto 12 biji buat KUA. Itu foto 12 biji dipake buat apaan ya sama orang2 KUA? Agak banyak deh kayanya

Oh iya kemaren pagi gue kan perawatan yah di Martha Tilaar. Dipijitin di scrub dan di masker sebadan2. Trus terakhirnya mandi susu sekalian bubble bath gitu. Sayang sekali pas gue lagi asik main2 busa si mbaknya ngingetin kalo yang mo ngeblow rambut gue udah nungguin. Iiih gimana sih kata mbak yg 1 lagi minggu lalu "mbak kalo disini anggep rumah sendiri ajaaa santai aja ya". Nah ya itu lah yg gue lakukan, gue menganggap kl gue lagi mandi di rumah sendiri jadi suka2 gue kali ya mo selama apa juga. Masih untung gue bubble bath ga pake bawa bebek2an.

Yah eniwei kemaren itu gue khusus minta di cuci blow karena malemnya mo kondangan (ternyata kondangannya jam 7 malem, it was 11 in the morning, I didn't know gw kira kondangannya siaang). Jadilah rambut gue dibentuk2 dan pake sasak2 segala. Pdhl gue udah pesen "mas saya mau yg simpel2 aja ya..tengkyu (senyum manis)". Dan hasilnya pun gue keluar salon dengan sasakan setinggi monas dan rambut yang dikruwel2in bawahnya. Tanggapan resepsionis ama tukang pijetnya aja waktu liat gue "waaah...mbak kondangannya jam brp? oh jam 7? nanti kempes kok atasnya". Gue dalem hati: yey gimana sih kok 1 salon pegawainya ga saling mendukung gini..berarti mbaknya juga merasa kl dandanan gue ajaib hahaha. Tapi untungnya pas kondangan udah lumayan kempes and kriwel2nya dicopot ama mama yg sambil misuh2 ngeliat anaknya jadi kayak eskrim McD yang dulu dijual 500 perak-an itu loh...

Ah udah ah udah panjang...adrenalin udah lumayan tersalurkan skrg lanjut cari trainiiiing :D

See ya!

Bridezilla

Hhh.....ayo bernapaaaas.....
in....out....breathe in.....breathe out....

Doh, bermasalah banget nih gue, very very not good euy..

Hari ini pagi2 udah argue sama my husband to-be cuma gara2 masalah kecil doang. Gue sih emang yang nyolot tapiii giimaaanaaa. Hh...mana ini hari senen, pula. dohhh...

Ga tau nih belakangan ini kok gue semakin nyolot yaa? Awal2nya cuma kalo lagi PMS doang tapi makin kesini makin ga sopan ke nyolot an nya merambah ke hari2 biasa doang. Ihhh ga rela banget gueee!

You know, gue tuh termasuk jenis orang yang happy go lucky sekaliiii. Ga banyak hal2 yang bisa mengganggu gue apalagi bikin gue bt. Tapi sekaraaaaang? Ya ampun sekarang ini gue udah kayak godzilla, sumbunya pendek abeeyysss.....Hal2 kecil aja udah bisa bikin gue upset/bt. ih! ih! ih! (tu kaaan......)
hh...godzilla.....anjeyss skrg gue baru paham knp ada istilah bridezilla itu hahahaha kurang ajaarrrrrr kayaknya gue kualat dulu setiap ngeliat iklan acara bridezilla di tv waktu di st louis gue suka meremehkan gitu, gue pikir "gile santey aja dong nyonya2...it's just a wedding...". And look what happen to me now..Haiiyyaaaa ya Tuhan maaphkan akuuu...ga lagi2 deh ngeledekin para bridezilla ituuu.....nanti2 lagi setiap ngeliat bridezilla I'll just give her a hug and say everything is gonna be fine...puk puk puk..

Hh....omaigat....I know I am sooo much better than this. Amanda yang easy going itu kemanaaaa batang hidungnyaaaa!!! Giliran lagi dibutuhin malah ngilang entah kemana (dang now I'm even mad to my imaginative self haha this is bad)

Hhh...maapin aku ya sayang (just in case anybody need a clarification, I am referring to my future hubby), I know I am making it hard to like me now (heck I don't even like myself very much right now)...but I will try my best to go back to my old sweet self (like I am ever sweet before haha).
Sabar2 ya ngadepin aye....luv u very2 much and despite all my craziness, I know for sure that you are The One and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you (cie cieee...haha)

Update:
barusan Dee juga kena semprot hahaha
Gue lagi curhat kan ceritanya sama dia, terus:

dee: ahhahahahahahah

So...itu lah salah satu cuplikan kecil, contoh dari kelakuan gue

A very long sigh........hhhhhhh........

Hadoooooooh ini begimana siiiiihhggg

Internet di kantor sumprit bapuk banget inih...gue teh seharusnya melakukan research. Reee search! Yang artinya butuh speed yang acceptable lah untuk berpindah dari halaman satu ke halaman lain sampe ketemu hasil yang bener2 pas.

Lah ini, mo buka 1 halaman aja gue sampe bisa nge Milo dulu, maen2 BB, garuk2 idung, menghela napas, maen2 BB lagi, masih aja belom kebuka gitu loh.

Tapi anehnya yah, website2 lain yang ga berhubungan dengan research gue kebuka dengan mulusnya. Seperti Detik.com, fesbuk, dan blogger. Hmmm...

Doh hari ini suplai kesabaran gue lagi lumayan untungnya. Kalo engga kesian cowo gue yang jadi bulan2an ntar sore.

Soalnya kenapa coba gue butuh kesabaran ekstra tersebut?

Satu lagi masalah yang bikin gue keki adalah urusan poto2an buat preweeeddd....

Hiks...serba salah...abis yang punya temennya cowok gue, dan pas gue sempet ketemu orgnya juga baik

Tapiiiii so far kynya susah bener dihubungin buat ngatur jadwal foto prewed, udah gitu, begitu gue dapet dokumen ttg apa2 aja yang dibutuhin buat foto2annya, gue ternganga (halah terngangaaaa...)

Ternyata semua2nya harus dari kita sendiri yang nyiapin gituh....dr mulai baju aksesoris asisten buat bantu2 sampe make up.

Hair and Make up sendiri??

Yes.

Untuk kalian2 yang sudah mengenal gue sejak lama, mungkin saat ini sudah manggut2 mengerti.

Gue ga biiisaaaa kaaliiiii menata rambut dan make up buat yang formaaaal....

Kalo buat yang foto candid outdoor mah gapapa tapi buat yang formal, I risk looking like lenong...atau terlalu polos aja

Rambut juga mo diapain gue bingung. FYI, gue bukan termasuk mahluk Tuhan yang rajin nyambangin salon yah. So God help me

And about the assistant. Gue ga tau siapa temen gue yang bisa dengan rela stand by ngurusin gue dari jam 7 pagi sampe 6 malem. Mo minta tolongnya juga gue ga tega itu mahh. Aduh gimana ya, nyokap juga kalo tau pasti gue yang kena omel knp bisa dapet paketnya yang kayak gini (udah mo nangis)

hiks....gue udah kirim imel balik sih ke orangnya...semoga bisa dapet bantuan. Soalnya kan kalo cari make up and hairstylist sendiri buat ikut ke pemotretan itu bakal cost lagi keluar. Udah gitu belom cari2 lagi yang cocok siapa (mo nangis lagi)

OK maybe my patience pool is not as deep as I thought

hiks....

Sicky Mandy

Adoooh....udah lama ga ngerasa sesek, gile akhirnya kambuh juga.. Man it sucks real bad...I can hardly breathe and everytime I make a sudden move, even just to turn my head sideways, I'll cough.

I've been trying real hard to suppress my coughs. My throat and my chest really hurts when I cough and I know 1 cough will cause other coughs to follow.

Yech...this is no fun.

Luckily I don't think I look sick at all, just more quiet than before. Of course, I have to keep myself from coughing all the time.

Huff...hopefully I can get better soon!!

Bad Mandy

Glory Box is still my soundtrack.
I’m so tired…of playing…playing with this bow and arrow...
Gonna give my heart away...leave it for the other girls to play...
For I’ve been a temptress too long….

Ngeeeniweeii

Huwahhh kantor gue masih kosong beginiiii…..emang sih harpitnas jadi kayaknya pada ambil cuti sekalian biar bisa pada masuk senen aja

Hmm….what should I do at the office today….from the look of things, I think I can skedaddle from here around 3pm…Hmph if I don’t have that bundle in a sack (a heavyweight laptop and its heavyweight paraphernalia) I would have gone to Grand Indo and have a (window) shopping day! Hahaha

Oh and by the way, I have finished my 2 weeks new joiner training yay! ^^
So relieved and surprisingly got great feedback from the instructor!
I think he’s really nice because on the “assignment submitted” part, he wrote: on time. While actually I submitted the last assignment kind of late..like a week late. And, it was supposed to be a toughie, other new joiners are working with teams of two and did it for a few days while I was working at it by myself and finished it (rushingly) in about 3-4 hrs, and that was because I got an email from the instructor asking about it. If not I’d probably still procrastinate. So I’m just glad that I still got good result despite the rushing and the “asal2an” work :p
Baaad Mandy! Hahahaha

From the humongous desk of Enclosed Room 4

Hooo....kay...

Pardon the lack of quality posts lately but boy, I tell you, boredom sure does numb your mind!!
Like right now, still in the early days of joining a new company, I am now sitting down in a private office (for training purposes, mind you..I'm not that high up in the organization chart yet haha), doing nothing (geez this starts to sound like a broken record), close to start twiddling my thumb if not for the internet. And by the way I almost break my own record for the Brickbreaker game on my Blackberry, did it for the last 2 hours.

Now some of you might ask....why don't you do something useful??

I know I know...but listen. This is Day 2 of my 2 weeks New Joiner training. I have finished reading the materials for today and 2 days ahead and just refuse to continue on to another day. There's only so much training a person's brain can take in a day, and I've absorbed 3 days worth of stuff. So no. No more training, missy!

Hmm...let's see...what else is happening.

Oh right. I am having a break the fast dinner/mini reunion with my friends from SD (yikes I am blanking on the term for SD...see what an overloaded brain does to you??...oh elementary school..right.). We are supposed to meet at the Food Louvre Grand Indonesia. But you know what...I am craving for Burger King....yummmm....I have never dined at Food Louvre before, I wonder if they have burger. If not, then I'll just take one to go for Sahur hehehehe. Again, yummmmm ;p

Lastly, I want to pay respect, homage, and send my condolence to my dear friend Joseph. His mom just passed away from cancer last night. may she rest in peace. Your family is a strong bunch and I admire that. ((HUGS))

Eeeks!

Horeee, my mom and dad pulang hari iniii (kesannya anak mami banget ya hehehehe).

Ih tapi iya loh, gue merasakan bedanya gue yang dulu dengan gue yg sekarang (sebenernya ngga dulu2 banget sih..not more than 6 month-ish ago). I used to enjoy my alone time at home, do my own thing, etc. But this most recent time when my parents left me home alone for 10 days, I felt lonely and a bit scared staying at home alone! This is NOT a good change for me!!

I am lucky to be accompanied by several of my loved ones, sometimes everybody's present at one time, sometimes just part/one of them. But when I was left alone (just 1 day!), I felt a dependency on them. Nooot gooooddd....

I need to get back my okay-ness of being left alone by myself...just the okay-ness first, and then I can move on to the fondness of being alone occassionally hehehehe

^^

I'm engaged!!!

Craziness

What is wedding jitters? Does everybody experience it?
Is it normal to have a jitters about wedding jitters?
Does having jitters about wedding jitters makes it double?

Man...this is nuts...I have been having dreams about the same topic almost for the whole week. And last night was even worse, I woke up like...really woke up (not the sleepy, want-to-get-back-to-sleep kind) like..5 times last night, and every time I went back to sleep, there it was, the same theme to my dream. Crazy.

Crazy crazy crazy

Now I have a stomachache

Sweet

Lagi Pengen Ini

2009 Honda FC Sport - fuel cell technology...go green! ;p

Aduuuuh parah gila

I couldn't concentrate at all! I'm supposed to finish something but I did not produce anything since this morning (aaand I came to work early! might as well take that extra 30 min sleep rather than just stare at the computer)

This is soo...unproductive. I need to set my mind on anything other than the things that I am thinking about right now. Brain freeze, frozen on that same thinking spot since this morning.

The First, The Last, My Everything

We got it together, didn't we?
Nobody but you and me.
We got it together, baby.

My first, my last, my everything,
And the answer to all my dreams.
You're my sun, my moon, my guiding star.
My kind of wonderful, that's what you are.

I know there's only, only one like you
There's no way they could have made two.
You're, you're all I'm living for
Your love I'll keep for evermore.
You're the first, my last, my everything.

In you I've found so many things,
A love so new, only you could bring.
Can't you see if you,
You'll make me feel this way,
You're like a first morning dew on a brand new day.

I see so many ways that I can love you,
'Till the day I die....
You're my reality, yet I'm lost in a dream.
You're my first, my last, my everything.

I know there's only one, only one like you
There's no way they could have made two.
Boy, you're my reality.
But I'm lost in a dream,
You're the first, you're the last, my everything.

already counting the days

I am sure I haven't stared at Facebook for this long, ever. Nothing to do, just look at it.
That's how bored I am in the office. It has been a week for me not having anything to do at all I'm seeing my office boy's job as a tempting opportunity, damn..

Oh geez...1 month...just 1 more month....

ppbbbffftttt

Why you're mad at me, my dear friend, I know not.
All I know is you were never angry with me before, and for the first time that you do, I know nothing about the reason.

Ah but for I am a fool, I still love you anyway, you bastard

haha

ga penting

sore ini aku mau ke surabayaaaa tugas dineees...hehehehhe

Maapin aye yaaaa

Hauhuahauhuahauhua --> gabungan antara seneng dan terharu

Besok daku insyaallah mau berangkat umraah...

Hari ini udah keliling menawarkan titipan do'a ke orang2 kesayangan macem tukang kredit...dan hasilnya sudah tercompile...
Do'a2 yang dititipin bervariasi dari yang normal, baik hati (baca: ikut ngedoain gue dlm doanya...God bless you guys haha), dan ada juga yg tengil (cth: jodoh yg mirip linda carter wkt jadi wonder woman dan ada yg minta jodoh mirip taumingse). Pokoknya semua doa gue catet biar gue ga lupa walopun bagian2 yang tengil gue edit sedikit karena (spt yg gue bilang ke mereka juga), gue ga mau do'a gue di depan Ka'bah jadi nggak khusyu gara2 ada yang ngelempar sendal ke kepala gue..disana kan klo kita tengil2 (yes, termasuk berdo'a yg tengil2 juga, I presume) balesannya langsung kena gue. A'udzubilah hiii...

Yah pokoknya gue minta maap ya ke semuanya kalo gue ada salah2...Dan doain aja mudah2an disana ibadah gue bisa lancar and oke biar doa2 gue juga terkabul (ini demi terkabulnya doa2 titipan kalian juga!), dan semoga gue ama keluarga gue bisa sampe balik lagi ke Jakarta dengan sehat walafiat dan tepat waktu back on the 18th! (yes, tepat waktu, karena kalo kelamaan ntar gue tambah kangen ama my boo auw auuuww...hahahahaha)

Yah eniwei, sori dori and i love you all yaaaaa

*big hugs n kisses for everyone*
