Recently, I've seen the picture posted by one of my friends in Path.
It was a picture of Albert Einstein said about how he afraid of technology will change people. Well, I think you've seen it too.
And this post is a random thought of mine. haha. (by random I meant RANDOM!).
As we all know, technology keeps changing rapidly. An easy example is mobile phone. It changed how people interact with each other. Example scenarios (These are just illustrations. But I hope they figure out the real situation):
Ex. 1
1994
Me : Ma, I want to pee
Mama : Ok take off your pants
2004
Me: Ma, I'm going to the mall!
Mama: Waht? Wait!! (It is too late coz Mama was texting her friend while her daughter shout).
2014
Me: Ma, I want to move out!
Mama: .... (no reaction. chatting using her new android phone).
Ex. 2
1994
Girl: I L U (the letters on the telegraph sent to her boyfriend who was not in town)
2004
Girl: Hello
Boy: Yes
Girl: Where r u?
Boy: Home
(talking with 3 seconds free calls by telkomsel at that time)
2014
Girl: (sent wathsapp messenger) where are youuu? I miss uu :* :* :* (with using lots and lots of emoticons)
Boy: (reply the msg but really hate the the emoticons used by his girlfrend) I'm home babe, love u 2. Stop sending me those fake kisses. Come to my home and kiss me. LOLs
As the technology changed, people may changed. But remember that technology was made to simplify human need.
Do not ignore people in front of you in order to talk to someone far from you using messenger.
Do not send Pokopang request to all your contact coz it is annoying! (*lho)
Do not randomly send candy crush notification via facebook coz it is also annoying!
Do not send hoax message.
Do not uploads all your selfie photo(s) and album(s) in path. Use facebook instead. haha (apasih).
Be a nice Path user! (apasih?)
For sum up! I am just a random writer. Feel free to hate me :)

Kejadian Tadi Malam
Heyho!
Merry X'mas and Happy New Year!!
I really can't wait to face 2014! so many travelling plans to do (well, cuman 3 sih, tapi can't wait!!)
Eniweii..
Posting kali ini adalah posting pertama di tahun 2014 tapi postingnya juga akan membahas kejadian random tadi malam di rumah saya.
Pagi-pagi buta, sekitar pukul 3 pagi, bel dirumah saya berbunyi. Fyi, bell rumah saya bunyinya bukannya lagu-lagu lucu yg berirama poliphonic, tapi bunyinya "Kriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!! Kriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!!" Super kenceng. Kebayang kan kalau jam 3 pagi ada yang mencet bell sampai 6-7 kali dan lama mencetnya!
Saya sih nggak dengar (padahal kamar saya paling depan haha) tapi susternya ponakan saya dengar, cici ipar saya juga dengar (artinya, benar adanya dan bukan merupakan igauan semata). Tapi waktu si Suster turun, dia intip dari gorden, tidak ada orang!! iyah, sama sekali tidak ada orang! *jeng jeng!! Akhirnya beberapa spekulasi muncul di pikiran para penghuni rumah ini.
SPEKULASI NO 1. Spekulasi paling logis.
Karena beberapa hari kemarin selalu hujan disertai angin, ada kemungkinan bel rumah ini korslet. Sangat logis sih memang. Tapi... seumur2 bel rumah saya nggak pernah korslet. gimenong donk nyoongg??
SPEKULASI NO 2. Spekulasi agak logis.
Persis didepan rumah saya ada rumah yang sedang dibangun. Semua tukang-tukang bangunannya tinggal disana. Menurut saya, ada salah satu tukang bangunan yang mabok minum sisa2 beer oplosan pas tahun baru mungkin haha. dan mainin bel rumah saya. haha. Tapi selama hampir satu tahun pembangunan rumah depan itu, nggak pernah sekalipun saya liat tukannya mabok. --> Reject speculation no 2.
SPEKULASI NO 3. Spekulasi yang kalo dipikir2 lama-lama jadi logis.
Buat temen-temen yang sudah pernah ke rumah saya, rumah saya ini terletak di pedesaan. Dipinggir ada sungai mengalir (kali mampet-red), kalau pagi masih banyak suara burung, dan kalau lagi sial bisa ada ular sawah masuk ke garasi. haha. Terlebih lagi, 3 rumah yang letaknya persis didepan rumah saya KOSONG! yup KOSONG. Rumah 1, kosong karena sedang dibangun, sebelum dibangun sudah kosong selama kurang lebih setengah tahun. Rumah 2, kosong selama 15 tahun lebih!! kalau pesan taksi blue bird jam 5 pagi untuk ke bandara, dan taksinya datang lebih awal, pasti supernya bilang rumah depan ini pasti kosong yah? hmmm... ada apa gerangan dibalik perkataan itu?? haha. Rumah 3, rumah baru, sudah dibangun sangat bagus, tapi ujung2nya kosong juaa..zzz sudah kurang lebih 2 tahun kosong. Nah, dari fakta2 tersebut, kira2 siapa yang memainkan bell rumah saya di pagi buta itu?? hehehe...
Sudahlha, jangan diteruskan postingan tidak penting ini.
Sekali lagi, Happy New Year 2014!!

Sssstt.. Hati-hati berbicara!
Minggu lalu sewaktu lagi homili di gereja MBK, si pacar bilang "beberapa minggu ini capek banget yah, Sabtu Minggu selalu penuh urusan yang harus dikerjain. Capek, rasanya pengin makan dan nonton ajah sambil jalan-jalan di Mall" (jalan-jalan di mall nya saya yang tambahin hihihi).
Memang benar sih, beberapa minggu terakhir banyak sekali acara kesini dan kesana. Rasanya kangen juga sama Mall yang dulu paling sering di kunjungi buat nonton. Yak betul! Puri Mall! hehe.
Di lain waktu, si pacar bercengkrama sama keponakannya yang sedang libur semesteran "Wah, enak yah kamu bisa libur semesteran, Om juga mau doonk!"
Memang sejak kerja, kapan coba kita bisa libur sepanjang 3 minggu? nggak pernah kan? dapat 2 minggu ajah susah (eh, tapi sekarang saya ada cuti wajib 2 minggu lho! hehe)
Akhirnya, Tuhan mengijinkan kami, saya dan si pacar, dikasih libur beberapa hari tapi dalam rangka sakit! yak betul sakitt!!
Hari kamis kemarin si pacar kena DB (doain cepat sembuh yah pembacaaa!) dan saya kena mencri-mencri yang dicurigai disentri (tapi ternyata bukan kookk *pheeww*). Si pacar istirahat selama 1 minggu dan saya dapet istirahat selama 3.5 hari termasuk weekend. And guess what?? Week end ini harus kita habiskan dengan istirahat yang banyaaak! *Do u see the relation between the title and the story?? hehe*
Well, morale of the stories is everything happens for a reason. Tuhan menghimahkan si pacar dan saya sakit, agar kami bisa beristirahat hehe. Dan fitur tambahan dari mencri-mencri saya adalaahh *jeng jeng jeng* saya turun 400 gram lhoo!! hahaha (penting banget sih Win?!)
Well then,
Get well soon honey and me! :)

Tentang Sesuatu
Well, It's been 5 years since my first post..
Dengan umur blog yang 5 tahun itu, kalo di blog lain isinya pasti sudah ratusaaan posts. Sedangkan disini, sepiii...siiiiiingggg... :)
Makanya mulai sekarang, dengan pekerjaan yang sudah agak longgar, saya mau menggalakkan menulis lagi. hehe
Anyway.. Tulisan kali ini adalah mengenai "Sesuatu".
Oh, bukan-bukan, bukan tentah Syahrini.. (oh no! Big NO!)
Biasanya saya membuat New Years Resolutions menjelang pergantian tahun, entah di diary, entah di doa, entah di pikiran, ataupun di blog ini..hehe..Tapi, you know what? seperti biasa, semuanya keookk...semangat cuma bertahan sampai 3 bulan pertama. Contoh paling sederhana adalah disini. I had 5 resolutions I had done nothing. hehe
Makanya, mulai sekarang mau buat resolusi yang kecil2 dan sederhana saja dhe.. no more BIG RESOLUTION..
Pertama,
TENTANG BERDOA
Biasanya saya berdoa di waktu-waktu tertentu: saat bangun tidur, saat mau tidur, saat mau nyetir (kalau inget), saat di gereja, saat mau makan di luar rumah (kalau makannya masakan nyokap nggak pernah berdoa. serius!), dan saat kepepet masalah. Doa paling simple adalah doa pagi dan doa malam saat sudah telat bangun dan saat sudah sangat ngantuk. Inti dalam doa cuma mengucap terima kasih. Doa berikutnya yang paling simple adalah doa pas mau makan saat lagi lapar. hehe. Doa yang paling rumit adalah doa saat dirundung masalah (hey! don't judge me! I'm pretty sure everyone did that hehe). Dan most of them are always about me. *oops
Saya mau merubah doa saya supaya lebih tidak egois (titik).
Kedua,
TENTANG BERPERASAAN
Saya ini terlahir di keluarga berdarah tinggi (alias cepat sekali tersulut hehe), tapi saya juga cepat sekali mereda. Banyak sekali hal-hal yang membuat saya bete. Misalnya, ketika berjalan di jembatan busway yang sempit, kadang ada ajah orang yang jalan berdua sambil ngobrol dan menghalangi jalan orang lain yang mau cepat. Saya, dalam hati, pasti sudah misuh2. Misalnya lagi, saat sedang menyetir, kalau ada pengendara lain (baik motor mobil maupun angkot) yang nyetirnya seperti siput, atau berhenti dipinggir menghalangi jalan saya, saya teriaki dari dalam mobil (nggak buka kaca sih, takut jadi masalah haha).
Saya mau mulai tarik napas-buang napas dulu 3x sebelum mulai marah2 hehe. Dengan harapan setelah tarik-buang ketiga emosinya sudah reda. hehe
Ketiga,
TENTANG NAFSU MAKAN
Kali ini resolusinya bukan tentang berat badan lagi, karena sudah dari tahun ke tahun beresolusi menurun kan berat badan, hasilnya not even lose a kilo, nambah iyah, kurang nggak janji. hehe. Kalau kata orang-orang, memang equilibrium saya di sini bentuk tubuh seperti ini (cie ilee, justification banget sih saya hehe). Karena saya baru saja disadarkan bahwa saya memiliki keturunan kolesterol, darah tinggi, dan juga diabetes, saya mau mulai merubah pola makan hidup sehat (bukan dengan OCD yah..BIG NO! saya sangat tidak pro OCD).
Saya mau berubah dengan memakan makanan sehat, mengurangi gorengan, mengurangi manis dan yang paling sulit adalah mengurangi makan babi (hiks). tapi boleh lha makan babi dan steak2 lain sesekali sebulan. hehe.
SUDAH!
itu saja, 3 saja..nggak mau banyak-banyak..
Tiga saja jalaninnya pastiii susah. hehe.
Cheers,

It should be romantic
Been a while since the last time I sat in front of my laptop and wrote something..
Sharing for caring, right? I hope everyone who read my blog say YES! coz I'm gonna share one of my romantic-comedy moment.
Oh by the way, I already had the permission from my bf (well, the story is about him) to share this.
It is already a while since we were talking about marriage. Yes, we are planning a marriage (let's wait for the invitation, guys!)
I told my bf earlier that if someday he gonna propose, I want a romantic proposal, please (I'm sure I said "please"). Coz back in 2008 when he asked me to be his gf, the setting is not usual: in front a TV played AFI (Akademi Fantasi Indosiar! don't judge me! in my defense, it was a well known talent show back in 2008).
So, here is my proposal story
One weekend, we finally could enjoy our-time by watching a movie at Blitz PP. Once again, he brought the ring. After we finished watching, he asked me to have dinner in a nice restaurant which offered discount! (I'm sure it was because of the discount, not because he wanted to find a nice restaurant to propose hihi!! I'm just kidding).
Then, after we ate, he pulled out the ring from his pocket and he proposed. Then I said YES!
It should be romantic scene if he did not forget the ring that he left in the car!!
Report: failed. haha!!
He tried again. One day his car was occupied so I drove my car to his house. He was alone. He gave me fishcake (siomay) when I arrived. I am his gf for 5 years, so I've learned a lot about his gesture. On that day, he was groggy. We were about to leave from his house to go grab some lunch. He was walking to the house terrace than went back to the kitchen for couple times. Then, he stopped by his bag and grabbed something out. He opened a small box of ring and say "I run out of the proposal idea. Here, I just give u the ring" then I laughed out loud and he saw me and said "you have sauces on your teeth!"
Report: succeed haha!!!
He told me the first story when we left to grab a lunch.
We are officially engaged for couples months now hehe
Morale of the story:
You can't push your bf/gf/spouse/anything u called to be romantic. They are romantic in their own way :) Just like mine :)

So long, Sydney
Yes, as in the title, this is another end from one of my chapters of life. Ok, I typed it, chapters of life, but when I read it again, and this expression sounds so lame. haha.
Anyway, today is my last day in Sydney. I have been through a lot of things here. By a lot I meant A LOT! Maybe some of you had read my grumbling, showing-offs, self-motivations on twitters, facebook and blackberry-messengers’ status. But believe me, there were a lot more than that. Yea, maybe I exaggerated a little. Ok, too much. But you should understand that blog needs to be attractive so that everyone interested to read. So, there were a lot. Haha. anyway….
In the beginning
I feel it was just yesterday I texted one of my colleague at the office and told her that I thought I might want to "submit". At my office (was), it means: step on your boss room, spit on his/her desk, and mess around with his/her computers in order to get fired in the next day. haha. No not like that, it means resignation submission.
After that submission process, everything came so fast. Sooo fast that I couldn’t really call the detail. What I know is a week before I left Jakarta, I sat on my bed and had a second thought(in thrill): What have I done?!
Days come and go so fast. I flew to Sydney. Lucky, I have a very kind cousin, whom I never met before in Indonesia, wanted to give me a room to live before I got a room near my campus. And finally, a week before my semester commenced, I met one lovely couple who bravely rented their room for me. Yes, bravely coz they did not really know me before. They are friends of my elementary school friend. What if I was such a bad girl. haha. Lucky for them, I am not.. :D
Memorable things for me
Finding part time jobs was the most challenging thing. Before I did Accounting Tutor, I tried Fast-Food Cashier. Well, the only one that I tried. Which I did not get paid!! He made me bought that 20 dollars shoes and did not even pay me. He never even said thank you! I forgave him, since God already made great plans. I found two casual jobs and the most important thing is: well-paid! I worked as "black-magic-Accounting-Tutor". I taught Accounting for bachelor students who need it. But, I think it was black magic! I kinda made Accounting more confusing than the Lecturer, especially when it was mixed with very low English capabilities. haha. I'm kidding. I was a good Tutor! I worked with heart!! I did! ok, I should stop. It is now exaggerated.
Having fun and making new friends are also quite challenging. My brother has a motto: Social life is not my thing. I thing, I kinda have that thought too. I enjoy my time at home rather than go outside making new friends. I am described as how an accountant's social life looks like: a geek without the brain! haha. But it was not the point to pay a big money studying overseas. So I decided to have fun! go outside, make new friends, couples of besties and enjoy Sydney. Besides, after new frineds become friends and finally become besties, you'll be thanking God you went outside. (I am sorry brother, I involved you in this blog haha)
Next thing is doing the exams. Well, I think I did those quite well. Not much to tell in this part. A lot of studies, as usual. If you did not really understand the subject, try to torture your Lectures by doing regular consultations. Coz you’ve paid them FOUR thousands dollar to make you smarter. So if you don’t feel like become smarter, make them to make you smarter. You know what I meant. Thus, the most important thing is: an exam period usually ended by playing as hard as you can! really hard till I spent a lot of money to flew to Singapore on the winter break! :( But it was worth it!
Communication should not be a problem. There is video-conference technology like YM, Skype, etc. The problem was if your boyfriend, partner, spouse or anything you defined is an auditor who also happens to have footballs activities on weekend. I have one! :) He was skyping me every night on the first half month I was here. When I realized, it already became once in a week. haha. What I am trying to say is communication tools is not a problem. The issues might be on the doers. The understanding you need when one of the doers cannot make the communication. Ah, I talked like a smartass. ok, I'll stop. :)
The last thing is DIY: Do It Yourself. Do what? everything: cooking, doing laundry, cleaning, ironing, studying, and SURVIVING! I also had my bachelor degree outside Jakarta. It also made me to live outside my parent's house. But the DIY thing was not as much as in here. Back then, I paid the house-maid to do my laundry. I bought my breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I used taxi for the most time, and I called my boyfriend if I really needed a ride. I could not do those sort of things in here. All I could do is walking or using public transportation.
The End!
Finally, here I am. writing a blog, hoping there will be no delay for tomorrow's flight. I had my second experiences in university and I am now ready to face my second chance in working experiences. I am on market now. (So please, any employer who read this, please hire me! I am a hardworker, as you can see on my stories! no kidding :D)
Finally I would like to say:
So long Sydney. It was a pleasure to know you.
I may miss you someday, but today I miss Jakarta the most.

I used taxi for the most time, and I called my boyfriend if I really needed a ride. I could not do those sort of things in here. All I could do is walking or using public transportation.
The End!
Finally, here I am. writing a blog, hoping there will be no delay for tomorrow's flight. I had my second experiences in university and I am now ready to face my second chance in working experiences. I am on market now. (So please, any employer who read this, please hire me! I am a hardworker, as you can see on my stories! no kidding :D)
Finally I would like to say:
So long Sydney. It was a pleasure to know you.
I may miss you someday, but today I miss Jakarta the most.

We live in the parallel world
I went through her blog, post by post. She told the readers about how she missed her high school friends, how she felt of being in OSGAB and Accounting Student Orientation: Attraction! (anyone can recall this event?? *smile*).
All the sudden I recalled my own stories in that campus. All the friendship, laugh, life, and love stories. How I missed those times.
Time flew. Five to six years after all of those memories, I can't believe now I am here, miles away from Bandung while someone else is now experiencing my old life, making her own memories.
I am pretty sure there is someone out there who already did a similar life as mine years ago. While she is remembering all her memories, I am making mine.
Anyway, it is how life goes. Someone left, another came. Someone is remembering, others are making the new one. It is what I called "paraliel world".
