Happy birthday to my dear friend Leonel, wherever you are. I haven't heard from you for long, but I hope everything's fine. I wish you all the best and may all your wishes come true. My big hugs and kisses for you Leonel, hoping to hear your stories and jokes again. Buon compleanno!!!
Kemaren after office nonton di Plaza Senayan. Berhubung kita nonton untuk menghilangkan stress yang rada berlebih minggu ini, finally kita pilih film komedi aja, "Bewitched", berhubung selain film itu selebihnya film horror & thriller - takutnya kita malah tambah stress lagi.
Ceritanya lucu juga, lumayan menghibur & mengurangi ketegangan. Bisa bikin temenku yang lagi manyun whole day itu ketawa-ketiwi juga :p Kena sihirnya Isabel kali ya... Isabel tuh gadis penyihir dalam film itu... :)
Abis gitu makan di Warung Pojok, doi nambah lagi! Ternyata kalo lagi stress, porsi makannya malah dobel lho!! :)
Azzurrina lagi excited! Kenapa begitu penting? Soalnya jarang-jarang bisa liat dia excited, dia tuh terlalu kalem, adem ayem dan sering kali emosinya datar, persis kue lumpur makanan kesukaannya... Makanya, begitu hari ini aku terima emailnya, email terpanjang yang pernah aku terima dari dia - menunjukkan kalo dia excited - aku tergoda untuk memuat emailnya di bloggerku ini, gak apa-apa kan Amica...? :)
Buon Giorno Amica2...

"Why didn't we know each other earlier?" Does this question sound familiar to you? This question crossed my mind as well for few times, and a few days ago, somebody just asked me again that question! Funny, isn't it? It depends on how you see the whole thing; life, that person, and yourself. So my answer is, that I didn't want to know that person earlier, because if we knew each other earlier, maybe what happened is different, because at that moment everything was different from now, that person, myself, his life, my life, his personality, my personality, the world, the life, everything was different! I'm not even sure that we could get along together!! So, just be grateful for what you have now, for what you live now. Maybe you think things shouldn't go this way, but believe me, what's happening to you now is the best way of things going on your best time.
So which one you prefer, my dear? Loving me as who I am now on the moment of you are now, or not having a chance to know each other better?
I prefer knowing you now as you are now, and just enjoy and cherish every precious moments because time will only pass through our lives once.
Hari Sabtu yang lalu, tanggal 27 Agustus 2005, salah seorang CeMeNeRS, Azzurrina, ultah, gak perlu disebutin yang ke berapa, pokoknya, kami seluruh CeMeNeRS berharap hal yang baik-baik untuknya, dan juga mudah-mudahan harapan-harapannya segera terwujud, amin..
Di samping Azzurrina, another CeMeNeRS, Dengan juga celebrate ultahnya, walaupun udah lewat, tepatnya tanggal 14 Agustus 2005. Sama seperti harapan-harapan kita untuk Azzurrina, Dengan juga mudah-mudahan segera mencapai impian-impiannya, amin...
Kami ngumpul di GM Thamrin, seluruh CeMeNeRS hadir, cukup surprise juga, soalnya belakangan ini rada susah ngumpulin mereka semua, kayaknya makin pada sibuk masing-masing. Banyak berita-berita baik yang kami denger kemarin, antara lain Lele yang bakal mulai kerja lagi awal September ini, Tuyul yang naek gaji, Dengan yang udah kalkulasi biaya pernikahan - mudah-mudahan segera ya Bu... - juga cerita Azzurrina tentang persiapannya pergi ke Bali, dan aku juga happy denger GG gak ikutan, at least I'm less jealous gitchuuu... :p Ada 3 peserta tambahan, Ica, Mama & Sukron.
Pulangnya, aku nganterin Tuyul potong rambut ke Rendy, tambah cantik deh... Untuk menghadapi persaingan yang semakin ketat ya Yul... :)
Pokoknya, Sabtu kemarin itu I really had a good time, my big hugs and kisses for all CeMeNeRS, and special bigger hugs and kisses utk Dengan dan Azzurrina yang lagi ultah... :* :*
I've passed my first month in this company, and thank God, things go well... So, next week I plan to have lunch together, makan-makan, with my dearest Geng Cemen. I know it won't be enough to tell them how grateful I am to have them as my closest friends and how happy I am to be the part of them. Also, it's somekind of a little celebration of my new job :) I'm so lucky to have all these things, Thank God! And through this article, I would like to thank these special people:
To my wonderful family for their love and support anytime in any sircumstances no matter what. For trying to pull me up when I'm drowning in tears, and for giving me warm hugs when I feel this world as a cold place.
To all CeMeNeRs; To Azzurrina for the wonderful years we had, during good times and bad times, for being such a good listener, for being tulalit sometimes which keeps me smile :) To Bu Heboh for such a great discussion partner especially during those bad times, she's the toughest person I ever know, I learn a lot from her. To Tuyul for being so helpful, not just to me but to anybody, that's not an easy thing I know, I wish I could be that helpful. To Lele for being so funny, makes me relax and laughing in the middle of my hectic working time. To Dengan for showing me how to be the person with "semangat yang tak kunjung padam" :)
Besides family & CeMeNeRs, there are also some people who support me at their best to help me out. Ramin for his full support, it's more than just a reccomendation, it's a little bit "maksa" :) Kakak Chung must be 'pusing' receiving his phone calls. To Tikus for his powerful reccomendation, he helps me again (for the 3rd time) and for our nice discussion about marriage & family, I learn a lot from him. To Tikus and Ramin, I'll never let you down, I'll show to Kakak Chung and the others that I deserve the reccomendation. And of course to Kakak Chung for such a wonderful capo, spending time among his busy schedules to give me lessons about this company and this business. Last but not least, to GG, he may not realize that what he wrote on the card gives me strength, but it's true, I wish I could say thanks so much to him.
"You'll never realize how precious the things/people you have until you lost them". I don't want to be like that, I don't want to realize it when it's too late. I'm very lucky to know them all. When things don't go as I hope, I'll remember this moment, knowing that I'm a very very lucky person, and there's no reason to be upset. La vita e bella!!! :*
Divorce. I believe it sounds terrible. You'll never think of that the day you get married. But, it's an ironic reality that quite many of us deal with it.
What is the worst part of it? Is it about loosing someone you love? I don't think so, because when it happened, love wasn't there anymore.
I think the worst part is the feeling that you failed. Other people face the same problem and they can make it but you can't. You failed, case closed.
But one of my dearest friends told me not to think of it as the sign that you failed. He prefers seeing it from a different point of view. He said, marriage is like an examination. You can pass it, but it's not impossible either you failed to pass it. But the big difference is, in life there is no word "fail", what you have is "experience". You still have a chance to do the examination again, but this time you know what it's all about, because you can never imagine what is marriage like until you jump into it. And with the experience you got in the past, you won't do the same mistakes. You'll learn a lot from your experience.
The real commitment starts when there's a child in your marriage. When you decide to have a child, make sure that you receive your spouse as the father/mother of the child. Every child needs both father and mother, one of them is not enough, it will affect him psicologically on his future. Of course it is God who bring them to the world, but it's your responsibility to take care of them, through marriage you cause a child be born, he never ask to be born. You can't say "I can't get along with your mom/dad, I'm leaving, bye!" It will be very unfair for him.
So let's think of it this way, when you have a problem with your spouse, instead of being stubborn and defending your ego, please look at your child as your drive. Thinking of your child as your drive makes you more patience and emotionally calm you down. You'll realize for whom you live, you'll know where to go, and at the end, it will remind you of your responsibilities.
*Thanks so much to my dear friend P for sharing this opinion and precious advice with me.
Today is my first day at the new office… Things go well, thank God, although a little bit confusing because of the huge amount of people I see on my first day. Compare to the previous one, this company has a lot more employees.
This morning when I was waiting at the lobby of this company, waiting for the HRD manager to bring me in and introduce me to the others, Daniel sent me SMS, he said he is sitting on the beach in California, makes me jealous though, he’s relaxing on the beach and I’m sitting a little bit nervous there at the lobby, but I’m glad to receive the SMS, it made me less nervous.
So today I met almost the whole employees, the 1st to 20th name I still can remember, but the rest… I don’t know… Well, I’ll get to know them all as time goes by anyway!
Nothing much to do today, looking in the files, getting to know a little bit about this company and its business, getting about 1 hour “lecture” from Kakak Cheung, about the organization and the management of this company, and I also joined the Smelling Session this morning, nice people there, young and dynamic.
The good news is, on Friday this week, we’re gonna play bowling! Yeaaaaahhh…!! I never play bowling but I’ll just enjoy it, I’m pretty lucky as a new comer get such occasion. Can’t wait!
Another good news is about P, somebody here, actually my working partner here, told me how nice P was when he was here, makes me proud to be his friend, send you a big hug my dear Tikus, and a big kiss too…
