Count Down 2010
It's new year's eve, but bundagaizka harus jaga kandang karena pak bos cuti. Many would consider this "hari krida". Secara ya boooooo bawaannya udah holiday mood aja :p Tapi kebalikannya, hari ini feels like ordinary day. Dipanggil ngadep pak bos si engga (kan doi cuti), tapi dia jd Mr. Ring-ring. Bentar2 my mobex would beep showing his name as the caller. Yaah namanya year-end, semua pada bedandan cakep dong, gitu juga dengan financial report. Harus rapi, cantik, wangi, biar bonusnya juga mantap hehehe....
Other than office, nothing's special. This evening, got a date with ex-boyfriend to watch "Avatar". Abis gitu meluncur pulang dan bobo manis, karena Crong kecil pasti dah bobo juga. Mungkin baru besok jalan2 nge-mall. Wekkss tiba2 pengen foto keluarga...kira2 studionya buka gak ya tgl 1 Januari? Soalnya tgl 2 harus ngantor...
Now, what's with new year resolution, etc? Simply put: I want nothing I can't achieve. Though people say target should be something big it gives you ambition :) I just want to work better, more efficient, embrace new responsibilities, and apply for school. That's it... for myself... As for my family, being a better daughter, mother and wife is not an option, it's A MUST. Oya got other wishes I keep for myself, semoga bisa didapatkan tahun 2010 ini, amiiiiiinnnnn.
Happy New Year 2010. May all of us dwell in peace, health and prosperity throughout the coming year...
Reading: Just finished M. Birkegaard's Libri di Luca, reference from Taufan. Fiction semi thriller yang lumayan seru karena jadi bayangin kerennya surga buku Bibliotheca Alexandrina di Mesir. Now, just started Into the Final Hour-nya Traudl Junge. Katanya buku ini yang menginspirasi film Downfall. Should be okay too...
Holidays
The Story of my In-Laws visit continues...
The very bright side of having Ibu (my mom-in-law) around is dear hubby willing to sacrifice his working weekend slot to go about the town. Ahaha... (senang mode-on). And he happily suggested that we go to the Jungle to have some splash of fun.. Gubraks. It's still fresh in my mind, kejadian beberapa bulan lalu. Kita pernah muter2 kota Bogor berkali2 gara2 cari tu tempat dan end up gak nemu. Padahal gak kurang2 kita nanya ke berbagai jenis orang: dari mulai mamang tk dagang pinggir jalan (whom we thought the best person karena punya knowledge kalo rumahnya Pak Maman ada di pojokan dan rumah Pak Eman ada di deket pos ronda), pak polisi lalu lintas, orang yang lagi nongkrong di pinggir jalan...simply anybody we met. Mungkin waktu itu emang blom jatahnya maen ke sana ya ^_^ (menenangkan diri sendiri yang sebenernya berasa bego banget gak bisa bantuin nemu tu tempat).
This time around, kita googling lagi, catet2 patokan jalannya... We 're pretty much surprised for the place was very easy to find, glekh... knapa waktu itu pada rabun semua ya?! Anyways, to me the place was awesome. If I were a kid, it was probably my dreamland. No I couldn't swim..but the lazy river there superb. I had Gaizka on my lap and just follow the stream and enjoy the aquarium along the way. Both of us loved it!! The pools are quite nice. Gaizka especially adore the one which has tunnels. Other than the water arena, they have other things: horse riding, merry go round, 4D theater, birds park, some outbound activities like flying fox, etc. Enough varieties that you'd hardly able to try everything in just one visit. F&B is also something not to be worried about. Almost forgot... I notice one thing quite distinctive compared to our beloved Depok Fantasi Waterpark...its their Life Guard, the orange-uniformed guys, who are actually WORKING!!! They don't just stand and watch. They actually tell people to be careful and keep an eye on scums who'd just littering around or endangering other people. Hopefully they're always like that ya...
We spent half day there...Gaizka refused to be pulled put of water but we had to go...secara kulit Gaizka udah sampe keriput2 gitu. Beruntung juga karena jam 3an turun hujan. Valid and enough reason to make us stop. Sebelum pulang, hasrat hati pengen makan yang anget2 dulu deh di Mister Baso. But my opinion, tempat itu gak biasa nerima banyak orang, abisnya sore itu tempatnya penuh banget. Akibatnya, pelayanannya lama, yang di-deliver salah2, dan sempat reject order karena mangkoknya abis belom dicuci. My oh my.... Untungnya rasa masakannya lumayan, ehm... gak yakin kalo bener2 enak juga sih, takutnya lidah ketipu gara2 kelaperan hehehe...
Bottom line, kita had fun dan berencana untuk datang lagi dalam waktu dekat. Dengan cost yang beda 10rb/person, kita dapat wahana lebih banyak daripada yang di Depok :) So, holiday was okay banget....
Sayangnya libur taun barunya bakal diisi dengan closing year end. Target management result keluar tgl 4 Januari jam 12siang!!! Hello...it's Monday after Holiday... So, mau gak mau harus kerja during the weekend nih.. Gpp...tgl 31-nya pulang cepet ajah ^_^
Pagi yang enyaaak
Udah deket Natal ni ya....but it's not Santa Claus who's coming to town, it's my In-Laws: mertua, kakak & adek ipar, kumplit plit dah... So I'm singing "My In Laws are coming to town...." ehehehe... Pagi2 banget Aygan, yg kbetulan dah libur kerja, mau jemputin mereka ke Gambir. Lady of the house mau gak mau jadi skalian ngikut brangkat kantor. Lumayaaan daripada harus naek KRL sendirian. Jam 5.40 cabutlah dua warga Depok nan keren2 ninggalin Gaizka yang masih bobo dengan nyaman di kasurnya yg rada bau ompol itu ^_^
Entah karena masih pagi ato karena banyak orang (tmsk students) lagi pada libur, jalanan jadi lancar banget. Pdhl lewat Psr Minggu-Pancoran lho... Phew, if only Jakarta streets are always this comfy ya...
Anyway, karena jalanannya lancar banget, jadi punya waktu buat menjalankan rencana yang udah lama kepending2 nih... Nyimpang ke Benhil, beli nasi uduk depan salon Laris buat sarapan pagi. Ahahahaha bahagiaaaa.... Pesan nasi komplit pake telor dan sambel yang banyak pleus kerupuk gak matching sekarung. Enaaaak.... My oh my, jadi nostalgia deh... keingetan jaman masih ngekos di Benhil. Pokoknya nasi uduk "Jawa" ini favoritku (mama & mertuaku juga doyan banget).
Pagi ini rasanya kenyang dan puas banget. But not necessarily mean I'm ready to work ya... Tgl 24 gini bawaannya dah pengen libur ^_^ Btw, long weekend besok enaknya ngapain ya...
The Shot that Brightens My Day
Seorang wanita meninggal tiap dua menit akibat kanker serviks. Angka kematian mencapai 270.000 kematian setiap tahunnya di dunia. Sekitar 85% kematian akibat kanker seviks terjadi di negara berkembang termasuk Indonesia. (source: pusat data & informasi PERSI)
Untuk kaum perempuan karena kami peduli... (kata flyer dari Medical Service Team di kantorku)
Cut short, hari ini all female employees in my office got vaksin kanker serviks gretongan.... Ahahahahahah ketawanya paling lebar dah... This is considering how pricey the shot can be if I were to pay on my own. Not to mention kita harus dapet suntikan itu 3kali biar efektif ^_^
Jadi, siang tadi, cewek2 dan ibu2 yang biasanya males banget ke kantin di basement karena ogah sama bau asapnya (including me beibeh...) pada mengantri dengan manisnya. Sempat pada nervous juga karena ada yang menyebarkan rumor bin gosip kalo suntikannya sakit. Yaaahh ternyata lumayan lah sakit2 & pegel2 dikit kaya ketabrak angkot (lha?!...)
Anyways, tararengkiuh Dr. Johnny mwaaaahhh
Fun Weekend
Gaizka udah memasuki masa preschoolers, that he's 2... Sebenarnya, aku sering sedih karena aku merasa menghabiskan lebih banyak waktu di kantor daripada bareng dia. I barely play and talk to to him... So, weekends are dedicated to him. But... I also struggle fulfilling my desire to give him new experience each time, while facing the fact that dear husband's working-day actually include saturdays... so tough hehe... Udah gitu Gaiz termasuk anak yang perlu waktu cukup lama untuk adaptasi tempat/suasana baru..huhuhu...
Anyways, hari Minggu kemarin kami memutuskan untuk pergi ke Timezone. Udah lama juga engga kesana, thought it'd be fun for him to ride "odong2" and stuffs. Plus his dad can enjoy some fun... So off we go...
Ternyata Gaizka excited... even sebelum kami sampe ke tempat bermainnya, pas liat lampu2 timezone & all, dia udah heboh...gak nyangka... dia langsung mau juga naik mobil2an (walopun pas awal2 tetap minta pegangan tangan sama emaknda hehe). In no time he's in it big time. Mau lempar bola boling boong2an, mau ikutan lempar bola basket bantuin ayahnya.. bahkan enjoy banget lihat "kakak2" yang main balap2an mobil...Aduhh senangnya...merasa gak nyesel sama sekali.
Eeeh ada tambahannya... Kalo biasanya aku cuma jagain Gaizka, kemarin aku juga got the chance ikut main. Dari semuanya I found out aku ternyata cukup jago mukul2in tikus/ kecoa di salah satu permainan mesin yang ada. Dan aku contibute cukup banyak tiket hari itu... It's kinda cool fo stress relieve juga ^_^
Gatot ampe ngakak liat aku semangat banget mainnya, he said we're going back next week... Do I look that excited ?? He should've taken my picture ya....
