MY CiTY DuRiNG IDuL FiTRi

Today is the last working day before Idul Fitri holiday, and we'll get back to work on November 7. I don't have too many things to do as I've done all yesterday! :) So I spend this day 'ngobrol' and writing this blogger.
The office are quite empty, as some of our officemates has taken their annual leaves already.
And this morning on my way to the office I saw some 'mudik' cars with a lot of stuffs on the top of the car, they are already 'siap tempur' :)
This view is very common in Jakarta every Idul Fitri, the population will only be less than half of the total Jakarta population. I prefer staying here and enjoy this kind of 'Jakarta', not so crowded, no traffic jam, looks cleaner... I just love it!
Some people say they hates Jakarta because it's crowded and messy, but I just can't immagine myself living in other cities than Jakarta in Indonesia... Well, maybe Bali is OK... :) But other cities, I believe not, not even my hometown Malang, well, for holiday is OK, but for living... I don't think so...
So that's why I prefer staying here during this holiday, I wanna enjoy my city, I wanna enjoy the tax I pay for... ;)
OK, that's all story, now to all my beloved friends, I'd like to say "Selamat Hari Raya Idul Fitri, mohon maaf atas segala kesalahan, semoga kita menjadi orang yang lebih baik setiap harinya... Amin..."
Especially for all CeMeNeRs, I love you all... :*

SuPeR PiPPo iS BaCK!!!!!!!!!!

Setelah absen selama 19 bulan karena cedera engkel parah, pada pertandingan ke 2-nya setelah come back, Pippo - yang bermain full 90 menit itu - kembali mencetak gol. Gol yang dicetak dengan diving header itu sekaligus merupakan gol penentu kemenangan Milan atas Palermo di Lega Calcio Serie A minggu ini.
Gol pertamanya ini tentu dirayakan dengan berapi-api - khas Super Pippo - dan bukan hanya itu, Pippo berlari ke arah pelatih Carlo Ancelotti dan memeluknya erat-erat, seolah-olah itu adalah ungkapan terima kasihnya karena Ancelotti kembali mempercayakan tempat utama kepadanya meskipun baru sembuh dari cedera. Welcome back, Super Pippo!!!!!

CeMeNeRS BuKa PuaSa BaReNG

Sabtu 22/10 CeMeNeRS buka bareng di Food Court Pasaraya. Walaupun tanpa Lele, suasananya cukup menyenangkan, dan ribut as usual. Saking hebohnya, aku sampe lupa beli makanan untuk saur!
BTW, lagi-lagi aku makan banyak, kenapa ya kalo makan sama Cemeners kok napsu makanku jadi naek gila-gilaan gitu... Eh seandainya Cemeners tetanggaan, aku bisa gendut duluan tuh, soalnya napsu makan naek terus! :D
Aku sempet beli jeans - langsung pake :D - and baju diskonan murah-murah, gitu juga dengan Cemeners yang laen. Aku & Bu Heboh beli baju samaan! Namanya juga pawang & supervisor :D Warnanya kuning lagi!!! Norak tapi imut gitu... ;;)
Berhubung bisnya Azzurrina yang terakhir jam 8.30, kita cabut dari food court jam 8, tapi apa boleh buat, tergoda diskonan, jadi nyangkut lagi beberapa menit, sampe Azzurrina hampir ketinggalan bis, tapi untungnya kita nyampe di Mulia sebelum Bis Sentul, jadi aman, gak jadi ketinggalan.
Sampe rumah aku ngantuk berat, kekenyangan kali yeeeee..........

Adriana Fossa pantas disebut sebagai wanita paling bahagia di Italia. Pernikahannya dengan Paolo Maldini sempurna dan jauh dari gosip. Rahasia rumah tangga Fossa-Maldini rupanya adalah saling pengertian.
Tak sia-sia Fossa melepas karir modelnya untuk menikahi Maldini. Padahal sebelum menikahi kapten AC Milan tersebut Fossa terhitung model yang sukses. Tetapi jalan hidup perempuan keturunan Italia-Venezuela tersebut berubah setelah menikah dengan Maldini tahun 1994.
Fossa memutuskan berhenti berkarir saat mengandung anak pertamanya, Christian. Kelahiran anak keduanya Daniel, lima tahun berselang, membuat Fossa bertekad mendedikasikan waktunya sebagai ibu rumah tangga.
Kepada Gazetta Dello Sport, Fossa mengaku bahagia dengan keputusannya sembilan tahun lalu. Apalagi ia mendapat dukungan suami pengertian seperti Maldini.
"Maldini di luar lapangan seperti lelaki kebanyakan. Dia selalu membuat saya tertawa dan kerap membuat saya bangga. Dia juga sangat perhatian. Dia mau menjaga anak-anak dari pagi hingga malam," cerita Fossa tentang pria yang ditemuinya pertama kali di arena disko tersebut.
Fossa pun seperti tak mau kalah. "Sewaktu Maldini mengalami kekalahan menyesakkan di Istambul (final Liga Champions vs Liverpool) saya ikut menangis. Dia yang kemudian menghibur saya. Lalu saya menyadari kalau dia yang seharusnya saya hibur dan saya bangkitkan semangatnya," tukas perempuan berambut panjang ini.
Karena adanya saling pengertian di antara mereka, tidak heran rumah tangga Maldini-Fossa jauh dari gosip. Fossa pun menyebut dirinya sebagai perempuan paling beruntung.
"Saya mungkin perempuan paling beruntung. Tuhan telah memberi saya semua yang saya inginkan, ini lebih berharga ketimbang uang," tandasnya.
Bikin ngiri, ya!

SPeNDiNG THe eVeNiNG WiTH TiKuS

Yesterday evening I had dinner with Tikus at the hotel. At the hotel floor of his room, he proudly showed me the sign "This floor is non smoking area". How come? I was a little bit confused, I wonder if somebody who booked the room for him had made a mistake. But no, he then told me that he quit smoking. Can you believe that? TIKUS QUIT SMOKING!!! Unbelievable!!! He used to smoke at least 20 pieces of cigarettes per day, and up to 40 pieces when he had lots of work or going out too much! :) It's been 5 weeks since he lives without cigarettes, I'm so happy to hear that, I said I loved him because he loved his health! Well, men love compliments you know, they're big babies!!! ;) I said I wouldn't believe him if I didn't see it myself, no cigarette smell in the room and no ashtray! Coooooooooooool...!!!
The other things of course... GOSSIPS!!! We just loved it!!! We haven't seen each other for almost 4 months and there are quite many things to talk about, about work and else. By the way, he just had his 1 month annual leave and he went home to France to see his mom and relatives. We also talked about the 'Gila fever guy'! :)) How fun! The best part is that Tikus will talk to him and ask him to simplify the working process... I felt a little bit guilty because the 'gila fever' may have a problem tomorrow. But I'm glad that it will be easier for KC to do his job. Even Tikus called KC at once to talk about it and KC sound so happy with that! :)
Another gossip is about Monet... Of course, who else??? But I don't think it's good to be told here...
I left the hotel at around 10 pm because we both were sleepy, however we had a wonderful evening... Wish you all the best Tikus, love ya and take care...

SMS FRoM TiKuS iSeNG DuRiNG THe MeeTiNG (PaRT 2)

Guess what, yesterday after I left the office, Tikus' SMS wasn't finished yet!
My last SMS to him was "Thanks for telling me all that, so we can react quickly to anticipate, now he's on the way to the hospital..."
I thought that's all, but his next SMS was "Excellent. Please send him flowers on my behalf and some chocolate... We will have a drink while thinking of him tomorrow..."
I replied, "Sure Tikus, I will."

And this afternoon I received another SMS usil from Tikus, "Beloved Tigress, just landed in my favourite country of my favourite tigress. Any news from the hospital? Is it dengue fever or gila fever?"
Then I replied that I thought it's gila fever, as he ate not just Tikus' chocolates but also the flowers :) I can be iseng too, right?
And he sent another one, "Understand. It is a severe case. Will may be arrange to have him flown in Singapore at emergencies. Bring him some bananas. Better than flowers...!

SMS FRoM TiKuS iSeNG DuRiNG THe MeeTiNG

I was in the meeting room this afternoon... Everybody was serious because we were having a meeting with our Country Manager... Suddenly I received an SMS... Lucky me I use silent mode on my mobile phone...
It was from Tikus, "Queen of the cats, are you still alive overthere? Have the cats been nice with you... I am flying tomorrow to my favourite country. Would you like us to meet end of the afternoon (after your hard day work) at the hotel?"
Then I replied, "I'm a happy bunny because I'm having a meeting with fragrance team & M__, immagine that! Tomorrow I think I can make it, see ya tomorrow at the office Tikus!"
Then I received another SMS from him, "Ouhaouh... Fragrance team meeting with M__... He has dengue fever or what? Becoming gila... sudah? Not sure I will go office tmrw pm but will call you tomorrow. Queen of the cats, you take care"
I couldn't stand smiling - while everybody was serious, so I replied, "Ssshhh!!! Don't make joke and make me giggling while the others are serious! You tikus nakal! OK, I'll wait for your call, c u!"
But it's not enough, he sent another one, "Do you have a thermometer to take his temperature? You know with dengue fever it goes very quick and you have to react rapidely. Can you call the ambulance?"
Lucky me the meeting was over soon, so I didn't have to show my rediculous face for trying to look serious but couldn't help laughing at the tikus nakal's SMS... :))
But again, it wasn't enough!!! He sent another one - just now!!! "One common symptom is white saliva at the corner of the lips... another one is loss of hair... A 3rd one is the guy talking non-sense. If you noticed 1 or 2 of these, I hope the ambulance is already on the IFF parking as it will go very quick..."
Bener-bener Tikus nakal yang usil... :))

Pertandingan itu juga merupakan come-backnya Pippo Inzaghi setelah lama istirahat karena cedera, Pippo menggantikan Sheva di menit ke 82.

EMaiL FRoM DaN

Yesterday I received an email from Dany, what a nice surprise!!! I'm very glad to hear from him again!!! When he had a vacation to US, we rarely had contact although he sent me some postcards from US.
I'm glad that after few years, we still keep in touch. Sending SMS or emails just to say hi or to tell some stories - with his 'cengengesan style as always - actually is our way to say that we do care for each other.
He said now he works in Thun, where his parents live, I put some pictures of his hometown, a very beautiful place with famous lake - of course, Switzerland is a beautiful country. Before, he worked in Gstaad. So now he spends more time with his parents, got more time to do his hobby - cooking, or just gardening with his mom. A bad news I heard is that his dad got stroke, and now Dany takes him to the hospital regularly for medication and therapy, hopefully he's gonna be fine again, as the doctor said. But Dany said that Pak Noethiger :) is keep on working on it, glad to hear that.
Qualche volta, penso che avremmo dovuto vivere nel stesso paese, ma la vita non e perfetta, comunque, dobbiamo vederla nel modo perfetto, che sara meglio...

CHe BeLLiSSiMo WeeKeND!!!!!

Aku selalu suka hari Minggu, soalnya banyak sport program di TV. Lebih seneng lagi, weekend ini Kimi-ku juara F1 Racing di Suzuka Jepang, dan Squadra Azzurri-ku lolos ke Piala Dunia 2006. Cooooooooool...!!!!!!

Kemenangan Kimi kemarin itu emang luar biasa dramatis!!! Kimi yang start dari urutan ke 17, pada lap terakhir sukses ngebalap Fisichella yang sempet mimpin di beberapa lap akhir. Fisichella sampe berkomentar, "Kehilangan tempat pertama tidaklah bagus, tapi Kimi itu terbang!" Schumacher juga bilang bahwa mobil MP4-20 Kimi berlari 1 detik lebih cepet dari pada yang bisa dilakukan Ferrari! Amazing gak seeeeeehhh....??!!! Jadi gak sabar nunggu putaran taon depan, Kimi punya peluang besar utk jadi juara, apalagi dia udah klarifikasi bahwa dia stay di McLaren sampe 2006, so Kimi & MP4-20 itu bener-bener perfect combination!!!!!

Sedangkan Azzurri, dengan kemenangan 1-0 kemaren, mereka mantap jadi juara grup 5, yang otomatis lolos ke Piala Dunia 2006 di Jerman. Uniknya, gol satu-satunya itu adalah hasil kerja sama 2 pemain Pallermo - tempat pertandingan - umpannya di buat Fabio Grosso, dan golnya dicetak Christian Zaccardo lewat diving header. Seneng rasanya kalo ada ABG-ABG berbakat di tim Azzurri kayak Zaccardo gitu! Mudah-mudahan Azzurri bakal memproduksi terus anak-anak mudah berbakat kayak gitu... Oh iya, sebagai tambahan, ada 5 anak Milan lho di Squadra Azzurri ;) - Alessandro Nesta, Gennaro Gattuso, Andrea Pirlo, Alberto Gillardino & Christian Vieri. Jadi makin cinta neh ama Milan :*

RaMaDHaN - DaY 1

Hari ini hari pertama bulan Ramadhan, and I'm glad that kami bisa pulang jam 4 pm selama bulan Ramadhan, so it seems like aku bisa selalu buka puasa di rumah. Dan khusus hari ini - hari pertama, kami bisa pulang jam 12.00, don't be jealous yaaaaa..... :p

Kemaren aku kirim SMS ke temen-temen untuk minta maaf atas segala kesalahan sebelum mulai puasa, eh ada berita dari jauh - Balikpapan, temen kuliahku - Benny, he got married last week! Aku becandain, gak sia-sia jauh-jauh nyebrang lautan, dapet juga jodoh yang dicari... :)
C'e sempre un pensiero strano su di me quando sento un amico o un'amica fa sposato, non so, perche sono poco gialosa che loro sono molto fortunati di trovare i loro anime gemelle... Ma certo sono molto felice per loro... Spero anche di trovarlo... piu presto... :")

CeMeNeRS SPeNT MaLeM MiNGGu BaReNG

Sabtu (1/10) lalu, CeMeNeRS ngumpul, kami janjian di basement Pasaraya jam 3 sore. Tadinya hampir dicancel, soalnya sempet khawatir ada ribut-ribut menyusul kenaikan BBM, ternyata keadaan aman, so kita tetep jadi ngumpul. Cukup rame juga, walaupun gak semua bisa hadir, Bu Heboh bapaknya operasi, sedangkan Lele pergi ke Sumedang.
Aku sempet heran ngeliat porsi makanku, masa aku makan McDonald, abis itu Baso 77, ditutup dengan Mango Longan - buah lychee + juice mangga + es batu serut - enaaaaaaaaaaakkkk!!! Ngomong-ngomong, semenjak pindah ke tempat kerjaku sekarang, aku jarang makan junk food, that's why aku menikmati banget makan McDonald - sampe lupa ama flu burung :D
Rencananya kita mo membicarakan arisan yang ditunda-tunda tak kunjung padam, tapi berhubung yang dateng cuma ber-4, takut aspirasi yang lain tidak tersalurkan dengan benar, so dipending lagi sampe belom tau kapan.
Sementara itu, Azzurrina dateng membawa oleh-oleh anting dari Ramin, yang dibeli waktu business trip ke Singapore, 9 pairs altogether! Aku jadi mikir-mikir, apa aku perlu nindik idung & udelku, supaya antingnya bisa kepake semua! :D Anyway, aku seneng, biarpun modelnya rada heboh, tapi lucu-lucu...
Tuyul kemaren rada kemajuan, ngomongnya menjurus ke burung melulu, gak tau apa karena lagi ada isu flu burung apa dia emang sekarang lebih rajin membaca, jadi pengetahuannya seputar burung bertambah. Dia bilang, Lele suka piara burung soalnya di rumahnya cewek semua, cowoknya cuma babenya doang... :))
Bu Dengan lagi suka ama yang biru-biru, sampe oleh-oleh kalung dari Azzurrina juga dia pilih yang biru. Sementara itu 'rencana' ama Mas Anton, masih oke kayaknya, maju terus pantang mundur Buuuuu......!!! Sekarang lagi fokus menabung, ama membesarkan anggota badan -ditempat-tempat tertentu aja lho bu... :D
Topiknya sih gak ada yang penting-penting amat rasanya, tapi gatheringnya fun banget, gak cuma kangen-kangenan, tapi juga buat ketawa-ketiwi, apalagi aku, rasanya butuh banget penyegaran after kerjaan yang bertumpuk di kantor. Kita sempet bikin foto di Photo Box, kebayang gak sih, ruangan sekecil itu pake ganti-ganti formasi segala, jempol pada keinjek deh tuh, untung aja gak sampe ketuker :D
Kita bubar jam 8.30 pm, sebelum pulang, Azzurrina dapet telpon dari rumah, ngabarin kalo Jimbaran dibom :( Azzurrina dengan nyantainya bilang, "Kita di Blok M kok, jauh dari Kemang..." Laaahh... Itu sih Jimbani Neng.... :))
Oh iya, ada sih topik penting, planning ke Jogja abis lebaran, so THR-nya jangan diabisin semua ya girls... :)
