Boring Tuesday

I spent the whole morning preparing, reading some textbooks. Tried to concentrate on reading e-Commerce book, but I just couldn't. The quality of the copied sheets are very poor.

After all is done, I went to the library. No one there. But later there was Christine, so we went out eating together. Pak Yo bought us crepes :q Poor Stef who didn't get one, because he had to teach.

Chris wanted to do some errand so she handed the crepes to me and I took them up after I finished eating my pangsit noodles. Hand it over to Pak Yo. Pak Adi made some funny comment ))

I went to do something else outside and back again to scan some of Angki's picture. Our last picture with Ey had been given to our grandparents who live in rural part in Toraja. There was a picture of him standing behind the rector-who's-eating at the moment, I wanted to cut the rector later XDD

When I went downstairs to attend e-Commerce, I think I saw Arie, if he did say hi, I must have missed it, since I'm very dizzy and my sight went blur. Gomen! (m^o^m)

Besides that, Wati is starting to work this week. Yay! I won't be alone anymore!

E-commerce is very dull. I nearly collapsed sleeping. So was Automata. Which I have no idea what is he trying to teach us. Okay, I'm going to sleep now.

Poor children!

Gw hari ini liat di berita soal kekerasan s3ksual terhadap anak-anak. Gw prihatin, se-pervert-pervert-nya gw tapi melihat itu...., real life sucks. They're children, FGS! I know I'm practising double standard here, since I like stories about that thing. But still, it's fiction, I know it happen in reality sometimes, but I don't know it had grown into a significant number. Not to mention, the media seems to boost it up. I feel really sorry for those unfortunate.

Met Aldrin on my way to my first class today. (I have ADSI test today, it was quite easy. Mia, thanks for your good luck!) He had quit from the library, hmmph, means less funny guys T_T. I heard from Pak Yo that he quit because his marks are going down or something. Too bad. Oh, and his drop his wallet somewhere. He cannot park, he cannot use the ATM, etc. Poor you!

I was designing the database for my new blog in AP3 class. The class was WAY much clearer than I had had on previous semesters when I took this class. He explain in details! Not in brief. I got much sense of the algorithm complexity now than ever. I'm worried about my final projects though. Urrgh! I haven't had the courage to ask about it yet! I have to do it early though!

Super hot Sundah

Today was quite good, except for the heat. It's killing me. Woke up very early, because I went to bed pretty early the night before. Tried to sleep, but my stomach won't compromize and I have to do my morning chores again.

After that, I started to clean up my room, although I know in two days, it'll be as dusty as I have never clean it in 3 weeks. The stupid carpenter hadn't finished his works yet. I even mopped my floor thrice this week! After that, I washed my socks. Do anyone had any idea how to wash a pair of shoes with the 'genuine leather' tag that comes along when I buy it? I DON'T KNOW it's leather! >_< Geh!

Able to catch Knight Rider... the lone crusader... what am I doing narrating the show again? XDDD at 9 AM right after I washed my socks. After that, most of the shows are pretty boring, because the one I want to watch is TV7, which its time slot were occupied by tennis and tennis all day long. Except, we got to watch Everwood. Hmmm... Ephram, yummy! Meme even commented that Colin is perfect for Amy's brother rather than with Amy. ))

My mum called during some clips in MTV, then when I just speak for a couple of minutes, Meme started to went franctically nuts trying to get my attention. She was desperately pointing to the screen. I turn around and there it was............. IT'S KOICHI-KUN!!! OMG, it's Ein no Bloods. O________________o what have they done with Tsuyoshi's hair? Alas, KOICHI-kun honto ni kawaii desu yo! After that, my mum's words just flew out of my ears.

Although, I heard something about they're being kicked out of the refuge camp or something. :/ 3000 families in total. Mum's voice worries me, it's weird, when I asked her, she said that she's been looking out for houses all day, but all of the houses are too expensive. I don't know my parents' financial statement but I'm sure Mum has spent all of her account balance in this past years Dad never saves his money in a bank account. He turn his home made stereos (believe me we got plenty!) to his piggy bank! I guess he didn't trust the bank or so. Investing in jewelry was a waste too, remembering my mum took the wrong bag while trying to escape in panic

After the short call (I think the wartel there charged like hell!), I hung up and yell ARRRGGHHH! a couple of times watching Ko-chan! *cuddle Koichi* Arrrgh! Our maid look at me with weird eyes. OMG, I cannot believe it! I finally saw Ein no Bloods!

After that there's heartsdale, Crystal Kay, etc. Kang Ta's song was played too. Meme and I went to Global (a cybercafe) to surf the internet, man, I almost loose my temper and wanted to grab the computers there and throw it on the floor. The connection was even lamer than Petra.

After that we went to the ATM to took some money. Went to Indomaret, Meme wanted to buy some comics. I got my copy of the latest Bobo. It's been ages since I bought this. The urge came due to a certain mailist discussion. Anyways, one of the article attracts me. )) Also bought some snacks for Stef and Danny.

When we got to the P building, the AI lab was dark. I asked Surya in the Programming and IS lab. Nope, haven't seen them. Oh, okay! *throw a huge rocks to Stef* I'll go eat the snacks alone. Met Bayu on the way back. He came from I building. Wanted to go to the bank!!! )) He meant the ATM, obviously.

I saw Thalia (Indonesians, read: Maria Mercedes) looking so Mariah Carey...! Meme commented that even she doesn't sounds right. I agree, she got a great voice but singing stupid songs like that, won't attract any fans at all. Ole to Tommy. He's trying to create the next less-chubby Mariah Carey once again.

I just have my bath, and I think I'm going to sleep now.

Stupid media.

I just saw the news. Israels wants to kill Arafat as an option. Duh! Playing god? Who do you think you are?

I wonder why Lidya didn't watch Italian league anymore. Is it because no more Conie? Or, just because her mum is here? Oh, well no more, "Look at their butts!" comment is much more pleasant for me. XDD

I read Shun's journal yesterday, he's in Guang Zhou, heading to Beijing. I want piccies!

Hendra had been so nice about offering me a place to blog too, thanks! *hugs*

O_______o I forgot to study for automata! Stupid me! And I have to return the book today, too! *bangs her head on the wall*

Babble!

Last night, after Wati was done with her friends talking on the phone, I went to my room and saw a call from Teguh. I called him back. He asked whether or not I can substitute him for tomorrow. Hmm... I'm sorry I couldn't, I have 3 chapters from e-commerce to read and most of all I have a test too! Can't you just learn tonight? O____o I'm going to bed :p

Half-awake around 4 or 5. Keep cuddle up with my honey and heard my cell-phone beep once as it run on low battery power. Work my butt up and went to tidy up somethings. It's the first time in weeks that I didn't clean my room for two days straight (yeah, mind you, lazy bums!)

Still don't get the mood to study, after eating 'nasi kuning' I went to the library, asking Pak Yo's permission to use the computer. Sat down, check emails, some blogs, and stuff. After that, start flipping through Automata slides. (check previous entries for enlightment )

As 7 habits books pointed, when things went uncontrolable, help others. I clean the scanner's glass(?) part with alcohol courtesy of Pak Sekar and some cotton from a too-high first-aid kit box in the library. I massage Chris' back too. A ha ha ha... was it Stef or Tjia that suggest me to open my own panti pijat?

The automation office was a little empty, due to the training. I hadn't known any training if it wasn't for Tjia who informed me yesterday when we're on the way to AIS class... OMG, the study case! [[note: copy it!]] I think (remembering Pak Aditya's notion) it's for InCUVL members only.

Chris was looking for some bottles as graduation gifts. First, we want to ask the hotel management kitchen, but after some consultation with the front desk (circulation) parttimer, we knew there's none. I have some Cooler bottles at home so I offer it to her. I don't know why I have them in the first place. The bottles are from Meme and Lidya who drank those stuff I don't like alcohols! >_< After that, we went to Indomaret to buy another bottle, but it's too expensive.

And last hope was old canteen! Chris got what she wants and still got time to eat. I ordered Nasi Pecel! :d A girl before me ordered the lady to cut down her portion, less, less! O___o More is always good! XDDD After eating, we went back to the library and head to e-Commerce class. It's boring! He just went, 'Understand? If you didn't try to read the book... bla bla bla." >_<

We finished an hour before my test schedule. I went back to the library, Stef was confused on Automata. I have no luck explaining to him too. So what's done is done. He went out first to look for 'bocoran soal'. Much later, I went out with Helen.

Tjia and Teguh came back from the first session. People starting to give 'give us the food' stares. Ha ha ha.... Teguh gave away his after some 'aksi rebut-rebutan' with Stef. ) Tjia pelit! *ditimpuk sandal* I didn't eat it though, I'm very full!

I pointed where are the pictures taken at February training to Pak Aditya. XDD There's pictures of parttimers, host speakers, and even... Binsal's boarding room XDDD BTW, kids, don't you want to copy those pictures of you? Stef ama Teguh banyak banget... mejengnya! XDD Should make a photolog for people to look at those. I did saw Puskom's photolog a couple of days ago.

The test was NOT easy. It require us to think backwardly. I really enjoy it, it's like working through a math question. The feeling when you work on a problem which urge you to 'invent' the solution that's what I like about solving math problems. That's why I hate lame math lecturers. So far Bu Cherry's the best. And the late Pak Lukas, too.

I got rashes!

Asked Meme to went to Indomaret. In the middle of the way she suggested us to go and eat Mie Pangsit UP. Okay! Oh, no, I forgot to buy something. [[note: bli sikat!]] They cooked the noodles too long... fortunately, I'm not that hungry. I had the big portion, and Meme had the small portion. When the bowls came, I was like O___________________O it's very BIG indeed.

When we got home, I'm so full! Alas, despite the noodle, it was good. I missed UP. Pisang epe', mie pangsit (yang lebih enak), jalang kote' (Javanese: pastel), friends, my grandmas, errrrgh... I wanna go there this Christmas, but I can't! Grrr!

The restaurant interior reminded me so much of diners in UP, the table, messed up things on the table here and there. Even the stacks of papers. A ha ha. Lidya laughed when I told her what I ordered, "Pasti tuh Engkong bilang dalam ati, busyet nih anak makannya!" XDD Salahnya porsinya kok gede banget (walaupun udah tertulis kecil).

Fen, energy is coming this September! Are you going to watch them again this time? Don't forget to take some piccies.

Arrgh, tugas ADBO! Later-lah! XDD --> procrastinator #1.

I forgot to ask mum when will dad arrive. I never met him in 4 whole years and only speak to him ONCE in four freakin' year! T_T

I really love tabulas.com, we can do so much here. It's like combining geocities.com, pitas.com, and livejournal.com all into one place. Hope it'll stay for good.

Saturday Celebration

I spent my Saturday morning in the library fixing my Tabulas template. Adding all of my previous friends list. I don't include some, only people who tag me and people that I care most. Add some links to my contents.

At half past 10, I have a class so I went to P building, geh! The lecturer didn't come. *pissed off* I went back and finish my dull job of adding the friends list. [[Note: use li tag manipulation!]] I realize I have too many blog friends. But, only a few of them that I really like. Should've delete some.

I borrowed AIS as I was leaving the campus. On the afternoon, I got another class. I feel very awkward among these guys from class of 2K2, most of all because they're so BIG. In height and in weight that is. They sure have enough nutrition Alas, I really like the class, because it's WAY clearer and less longer. I felt drowsy too, I keep trying to have my eye lid open, but I couldn't. It finished early though.

As soon as I'm home, I washed my face and went to bed. Woke up around 6PM. Lidya specially invited us to go to the graduation farewell party with other Eastern students. She went first, I have to wait for Ellen. Oh, well, we got to the place eventually, and we're late >_< I hate being late.

There's the ceremony, it's unique, because, we're given clues on who's who this year. One of Lidya's clue immediately made me turn to her. "She likes watching Italian League!" XDDDD If they only knew... why does she watch those games... *ditimpuk* Then after saying their kesan pesan they have to give a flower to their most important person who encourage them. Eli and Erni is among the funniest ones.

And, I finally knew who's Evi's bf. You....@!#$%^#%$ hide it from me!! She's very pretty when he gave her the flower. I have to leave early, partly because I don't feel comfortable among the kids (I rarely spend time with them!) and partly because I'm sleepy. I met Angki and Beby. Oh, yes, Yandi take a picture of me, Heri, Lidya, and Megi. We came here together, but only Lidya graduated first.

Part of me relieved and part of me sad. I finally get rid of my 'super-smart' image off my shoulder, but, I don't get to graduate on time T_T Errrgh, study, study, study *hypnotizing herself*

Oops, forget, there's two cute kids attend the party, they're Kak Itin's nephews.... I want to pinch their cheek. So cute~~~!

Hahaha... and while the beginning ceremony, some of the assistants came back from dinner stroll. There's Danny, Eddy, Ko Singgih, and Surya. Some of them hesitate on walking to their own lab. Working after hours?

Meme bought Nakayoshi. I saw it in the newstand the other day OMG, the content is so nice. There's Shin Daa Daa Daa, Tokyo Mew Mew, Cyber Idol Mink (which Meme said Hyper Doll XD), Kekkon Shiyouyo, and Nami Akimoto's Ultra Cute... gyahh! *shoujo fan* Gya gya gya... immediately we check our July Nakayoshi and compare it. Kekkon is on its 3rd chapter. So does Shin Daa Daa Daa. But, TMM, is on its 22nd chapter, the tankoubon had already reaching #4. Goes the same for Ultra Cute, who's on its 33 chapter. Had reach 5 tankoubons so far. Gyah, I want to learn Japanese. As of right now. *dashes to Meme's room*

Still Hot Sundah

Mum called this afternoon, the problem is I forgot to ask when will dad will be here.

After spending time trying to read Nakayoshi, I went out and watch TV. I forgot about Everwood. Ephram... :3 Anyways, I didn't do laundry (socks and spareparts), didn't made my bed, didn't clean anything today XDD I'm just being lazy. :D~ It's too hot to think, more less to work. I was planning to study but you can't really study while your body is sweating heavily. I wandered around for the first time in weeks wearing something less than usual XP

After the call I made up my mind to go to the church. I ask Meme to go with me, even accompany her to the ATM to pick up some cash. Met Nancy there too. We got a practice student as our reverend of the week. He stop by here and there... I think he's VERY nervous. He ask for our attention at Romans 5: 23-24. @_@ [Open your bible to see what's that actually makes it funny!] And he skipped a few lines from the Doa Bapa Kami twice!!!! XD~ The service ended before 6!

Bought food on the way back. You know, being vegetarian is so cheap. But, fish and chicken are still good, why should I be one? XDDD Arrived home with Leez's SMS waiting. SHE'S AT HOKA-HOKA BENTO! >_<## She only SMSed me to tell that. Urrgh, I'm dying to eat there again!

Getting Better

Heh, I went through my food supply in the fridge. Peeling a potato, onions, garlics, with no specific reasoning. I still don't know what to do with them. Lidya's comment was "masak besar nih!" Uhm, yeah, if I could figure out what to make. Finally, I decided to make fried rice. After that, the taste was... okay, except I think, I should've put salt more. And I made chili with nothing to eat with. Heck, I ate it with my fried rice :D~ Fried Rice with Tomato Ketchup and Sweetened Soya Sauce (Indonesian: Kecap Manis) with slices of onions and garlic, and dua jumput(?) garam. And of course, omelet. With some french fries.

I want to make soup... @#$!@$ but I don't have any carrot and I'm too lazy to wait for the soup to complete. It took along time to make soup and I never made soup that's close to what I like. I'm also concern with my lab rats (Indonesian: kelinci percobaan), Meme and Lidya.

The fever is gone after the meal, but my throat still don't feel well. I think the place where I use to have my tonsils meradang. Tidur lagi ah! XD

I'm sick

Being sick is so boring. I went to bed last night at 10 and woke up nearly 7. I felt weird at that time. Then, as I'm working on my material, my skin starts to warm up really quickly. It was like this last night but I already take a pill before I went to bed.

Almost 10, I decided to call people to tell them I'm not available today.

ATTENTION: DO NOT READ THE NEXT PARAGRAPH IF YOU JUST HAD YOUR MEAL OR PLANNING TO EAT.

Yesterday, my throat kept secreting mucus, that's why I kept went to the bathroom back and forth. It had kept me away from concentration. Heh!

Last Friday, former members of SP club wants to go to Kya Kya and they called me. Uhmm.. no I can't go! Why now, why not the beginning of the month? Besides, I don't really like going out at night. Pulang malem sih ga masalah, asal perginya sore

I ate downstairs. There's some going away party with the InCUVL participants. Stef and Chris came when there's no more food left. Feeling guilty, I accompany them eating. Stef hit his tag name when it flows into his food. 'Stupid tag name, why do you want to eat too?' *sweatdrops* Chris said 'Phi, you look at me just like you wanted to eat me or something'. I'm pretty hungry actually. While eating, Dhanny and his friends came. They were buddies with Stef since er... elementary school? Dhanny juga udah selesai, tinggal wisuda doang! *iri* Dia nggak bisa yudisium, gara-gara telat nyerahin laporan. XD

Back to my sickness, I cannot lift any heavy books to read, except comics. Double heh!

And I'm really stupid, I didn't concentrate on learning e-commerce, I forgot the whole thing while in a class. I forgot the utilitarian spelling as well as hedonic (I wrote it hedonis!!!) I couldn't remember the e-commerce framework and types of online shopper, when I already write it down in my MindMap notes. Stupid! *bangs herself on the wall*

I was late for Automata too, the lecturer told us to check our own test result. I ask Stef why didn't he called me? Ephi.... I did called you and I'm like an idiot behind the glass wall, trying to contact you. I checked my cellphone. There's no sign of incoming call missed. Pressed arrow 4 (quick menu), Stef, Helen, an unknown number, Ivan, and Chris DID called me. XD The phone didn't vibrate as long as I remember.

I think, I got sick because I hang around sick people (my best friends) in this past week. I always said, 'It's a matter of time before I got the virus!'

I better go back to bed, it's killing me.

Home (in Ambonese)

Hmmh... kalo saki bagini jadi inga kalo di rumah. Pasti mama tidur-tiduran di kasur di lantai, ato bola-bali lia beta di kamar. Abis itu dong tanya mo makang apa. Biasanya sih, saat begini mereka mudah diperas *ketawa jahat* Tapi beta parnah disuruh minum obat cina. Yuck, beta langsung muntah akang!

Sayangnya beta pung selera makan tidak mewah-mewah amat *penonton kecewa* Dongkasbi a la Toraja Di Mba Uci ada sih Dongkasbi, tapi a la Ambon beta zn talalu suka santan bakuah bagitu. Sama telur dadar deng cili tomat. Zn tahu dongkasbi? He? Daun Singkong! Sama nasi putih angat yang aga lembe... plus ikang cakalang goreng.... [yang ini sih kalo di Surabaya mahal! Hu!] *drool* Hi.. pingin colo-colo! Gyah!

Kalo lagi saki, trus iko Papa, zn tahu pi priksa ka dokter ka kamana, pasti tanya, 'Mo pi Nobel?' padahal biasanya kalo beta iko, 'Pa pi Nobel do!' langsung keluar 'Haih!' ))) Nobel tuh toko buku. Papa tiap sore weekdays pasti ke kota bli persediaan untuk toko, kalo zn maso siang, katong bisa iko.

Tadi pas bareng-bareng di kasur, inga waktu di rumah sakit, soalnya beta pung slimut, slimut rumah saki. Ih, beta maso rumah sakit su talalu banya kali! Trus inga waktu taun baru. Sore tanggal 31 pasti abis bli barang, papa pi Ama, beli trompet par katong (zn tahu kapan antua mulai brenti bli), kalo katong iko, biasanya serbu Ama pung meja. Nanti pulang bawa rantang juga. Ama biasa masa par antua ana-ana n cucu-cucu tiap Tahun Baru. Ada bola-bola, sup taripang n asparagus, sate, aiya... beta jadi ngiler.

Pagi tanggal 1, bangon mandi la siap-siap ke kota, ke Ama ruma. Dolo pas blong punya mobil, katong nai papa pung motor rame-rame. 4 orang satu motor.. penuh sesak Waktu kelas akhir di SD, baru papa beli mobil, third hand sih, tapi better than nothing. Nah, kalo nai motor, pas di dermaga, kita turun dulu, nanti papa nai ke ferry sendiri, pas di dermaga tujuan juga gitu.... kita pergi dulu, nanti kalo papa su kluar dari ferry, baru katong rame-rame nai.

Biasanya beta malas paskali kalo di Ama ruma. Zn nyaman bagitu. Habis orang Cina samua... n beta waktu kecil lai pamalu. Tapi demi angpao tetap tinggal! )) Sama aja sih, angpaonya bukan dipake, tapi ditabung :p Kalo su agak siang, katong makang rame-rame. Waktu Ayu deng Aldri su ada dong yang biasa beta ajak ngobrol. Hhh, Aldri dong bagaimana skarang e? Trakhir dengar kabar dari Mama, Aldri su paleng gamu! Susah bayanginnya. Beta pung bayangan sih dia tetap kurus dan imut.

Sore bagitu, katong mulai jalan. Pi di Om balakang Ama pung ruma, tampa Papa biasa maeng Mahjong. Trus ada Om di mana gitu juga (tak kenal daku! Yang penting kan cuman angpao). Ada di sabalah Ama rumah lai, tapi beta jarang sih ka sana. Yang dong inga kan cuma Angki >_< N menuju ke Galala. Mama pung sodara-sodara. Orang Toraja biasa tinggal di daerah skitar sini. Biasanya cuman makan kue n minum sprite, fanta, cola dan sejenisnya. Orang Ambon kalo taun baru, keliling ucapin slamat, n makan kue dan minum minuman berkarbonasi.

Nyebrang bale deng ferry, ke nene Kondo dan tetangga-tetangga. Di sini lumayan sih. Tapi biasanya dong pung lampu remang-remang, biking beta pung mata tambah ngantuk Kalo su mabo deng Sprite, Fanta, Cola, dsb, baru katong pulang. Serbu Ama pung makanan, antua biasa masa paleng banya sampe-sampe sisa jua banya lai. Angki biasanya suka bola-bola. Beta sih suka sup asparagus deng taripang itu. Masalahnya yang beta suka dari sup itu adalah jagung manisnya... , biasanya sih dong bilang: "Bodoh, itu enak!" waktu beta buang taripang. Memang enak sih, tapi beta baru tahu itu tahun-tahun akhir. Sapa juga yang mo makang benda aneh warna itam. Seafood lagi! Ngomong-ngomong, beta parna inja akang barang ni pas berenang di pantai. Zn inga lai kata itu di Namalatu ka Natsepa. Yang jelas, inja taripang is so disgusting!

Yah, gitu deh, New Year gw di Ambon dengan mixed-up cultural habit and family ties. I really love it, though, I wish I could go back to those days and recapture the moment. I don't remember anyone did. Most of the people up there had passed away. T_T

How to read those? Hint:
(1) read zn as chemical symbol(?)
(2) Ambonese tend to discard the last letter of the Indonesian words or the second syllable or worse they add another letter.
(3) e is sometimes replaced with a.
(4) beta=me or I, dong, dorang=they.

Vision

When I was sick yesterday, I couldn't remember how many times did I eat. That's very important because I don't want to overdose myself with the drug I'm taking. Drug addict! *LOL*

Saw another version of Rexona Roll-on 'Met Nicol4s S4putra' theme. [Oh, g4wd, now my throat is secreting mucus again!] Also saw a weird ad. A girl holding carton paper saying, I'm Indonesian. Then she flipped it, I'm proud of it (or something like that, deteriorating mind I got here!)

Also watched MTV VMA. The censored the part. I knew it! What I like better was the 20 things you don't know about VMA. Seat Filler, a very good job indeed Oh, and did anyone saw an episode of MTV Global Room when the VJ challenge was act as Malin Kundang and his mum? VJ Nirina: Jadi BAtu itu sudah biasa... saya kutuk kamu jadi BANCI! XDDD Thank God, it's not VJ Daniel! Let VJ Arie be a sissy or something terrible, but NOT VJ Daniel ^-^;

At morning I watch an FTV titled Ayahku Kekasihku, can you believe how lame this title is? Literally it can be translated as My Dad, My Boyfriend! The stars are #1 in their acting skills though. Nurul Arifin, Rachel Maryam, and Mathias Muchus(?).

The internet is very lame today, I nearly fall asleep trying to post. I couldn't do any search either with that connection speed. Alas, I just browsed through wikipedia. They got explanation on almost everything. Including y4oi!

Oh, and instead of that, I browsed the net using lynx and still the connection speed remains the same. Errgh, I think Eve got a point there.

Decided to skip all classes today :p and stay in the library. My mind is very blah! The lame internet connection and there's no water in the library! Can you imagine? I was like a worm who got sun burnt. (Indo: cacing kepanasan) I want to pee really badly, since I drank alot of water for my poor throat. Pak Yo did stop by and ask how am I doing. At this time, I want to be a boy really badly. You don't want to know how am I doing trying to control myself not to pee on spot. >_<

After had enough, I went to the ATM. I know they haven't transfered my salary yet, but heck, I like to do this. My department secretary shoosh me hi... (I know it doesn't make sense.) I wasn't in the state of mind of being normal... I'm completely blank, until he was far away XDDD

When I got home, I ran to the WC ASAP. Hah, I think a gallon came out XD Heh, got to stop it here. I want to do projects.

My pictures? *LOL*

Wati just got home and bring the pictures she took a few days ago. She insisted to take our picture. I got two pictures. One, when I was finish searching for some food supply out from our fridge (beware, I look like a ghost here!) Two, when I'm cutting some tempe in the kitchen. Yeah, I know, I didn't brush my hair, mind you! My mum would kill to get these pictures. E he he he.

Sorry Shun-chan dear, I couldn't SMS you. More over Leez *pout* --> Still angry for that HHB teasing!
