Indonesia aku pulaaaaannggg!!!

Alhamdulillah tanggal 23 juni jam setengah satu pagi (harusnya jam setengah 12an udah sampe tapi pesawat delayed as always) kaki gue menginjak lantai Bandara Soekarno-Hatta dengan selamat.

Poor Chicken

In the office,

ME: "Where is Nate? I haven't seen him in a while." (he always go to our room, work related of course) 

MY MANAGER: "He's sick, kena campak itu dia" (translate: he got measles) 

ME: "Serius? HAHAHAHAHAH udah tua juga." (translate: Seriously? Hahahahaha he's way too old to get measles). "Wait, is it the same with chicken pox?" 

Ramadhan Di Luar Negeri: Suka-Duka

So, Ramadhan di luar negeri. Kesannya kayak Ramadhan nun jauh di manaaa gitu Ca, padahal mah cuma naik pesawat 4 jam juga sampai -_-.

Ini adalah Ramadhan kedua yang gue jalani di negeri orang.

Rasanya? Masih sama seperti tahun kemaren, sama-sama hambar. Kenapa? Karena gue puasa sendirian, yang lain engga. Ngga ada orang jualan takjil sore-sore. Ngga ada juga yang keliling teriak-teriak bangunin sahur. Ngga ada adzan maghrib yang terdengar di telinga gue sebagai penanda berakhirnya waktu puasa.

What I miss the most

If you're away from home, the thing you miss the most (beside your family and friends) is the food. Yep, the food. One more time, THE FOOD. Especially the traditional foods from your homeland. And we cannot forget the street foods too.

When in High School

09 May,

Peter sat beside me, handed me a glass of water. I smiled and said thanks to him. I looked around this room, his room. His room was quite small, but it was enough for him. Only one cupboard, one bed we were sitting on, one nightstand, one desk. And I couldn't help but noticed a few pictures on the wall.

I stood up and looked at it. They were all his pictures.

Melewatkanmu

naif
pula membawaku pada kata
pelan-pelan memecah rindu yang belum selesai
mengantarkan aku pada satu kebodohan yang terus kuumpat

Something Special

I was just watching this movie when suddenly I heard the song I know very well started playing in the background as the actress crying herself out against the wall. I was a bit surprised and kinda upset to be honest because now everyone will know the song as well.

"Wife Material" according to our society

Menjaga image sebagai perempuan di masyarakat itu susah. Kayak Raisa, serba salah. Keseringan di rumah dibilangnya ngga punya temen atau ngga bisa bersosialisasi, padahal emang kepengen di rumah aja. Sering main keluar dibilangnya "cewek nakal". Serba salah kan?

Farewell Letter

So my teammate, Zhen, decided to switch company. We were more than happy to hear that, yet we were a bit sad because we had to say goodbye to another good person. Well, that's life right? People come and go. And she wanted to make sure that we know her short stay in our department still left quite a mark in her brain, so she sent a very well-written farewell letter. She wrote about all of us, and how she remembered each and every one of us.

And this is the one she wrote about me

"You have to learn to like your job, because you need the money." 

- temen kantor

But is it though? Is it? Does it really have to be that way?
