Hanamasa... weee.

Hm... yesterday I ran out of cellphone credit communicating with Masami. I asked her if she was going to TP at 5th. And she agree to bring my Hanayume 24/2004.

Santi and Ajeng are treating us for their birthday in December and March ^^; We went to Hanamasa. It was my first time XDD [Shut up!] On the way, we got caught up with the thinking 'what if' situation. What if Hanamasa was extreemly full, remembering it was lunch hour? What if this and what if that?

At the entrance, it is kinda full, but we book a table. Dakur was there. He gained some weight, which made him look better. So it's true, school days makes you look terrible? XDD

We sit by the grill counter to wait for a table. The kids are so teens, we're taking pictures here and there. ^_^; Anyways, since it was my first time, it's weird to find a restaurant with this concept of 'take anything you want'.

Masami and her friend came just before we were transfered to our table. She left immediately after handing me the mag.

The girls just took everything they laid eyes on! O___o much much later of course, they couldn't finished it! XDDD The corn was terrible, Santi finished them. It was boiled with no salt, then cooled, and then grilled. =p I only chose fishes and not any other seafood. Others took prawns, seashells, squids (I almost write squirell XDD), wow.

Then the salad counter, yakiniku counter, and shabu-shabu counter are the next target. Don't ask me. ) In the end, it was Angie who got really full just after we started to eat! OMG! She said the salad dressing tastes weird. Of course it's weird for our Indonesian tongue! That's why I took no risk by taking only a spoon of it and eat the salad raw.

As we started to eat, we forgot to grilled those yakiniku meat! XDD Even shabu-shabu was added to the boiler late. Soon we were all full. And Ajeng was left to finish it! XD

The girls next to our table eat like there will be no yesterday, they kept going back to take more meat! *sweats* I wonder where they stored them.

Since we couldn't eat the rest of it, I kept pushing the girls to finished what they ordered. It's not good to throw away food. Anyways, somethings has to be discarded, though. Somewhere in the I'm full conversation, they said, we should rather be eating at Bentoya next time, it's troublesome to cook the meals when we're so hungry!!! ^^; And Ajeng said she wants cawan mushi!

Went to some bookstores. Sogo said we can preorder Harry Potter until July 15th. O_o Gramedia is having a sale on some comics. 8K per book. Dun have any money left T_T After that, we wait for Ajeng and Santi who was shopping clothes instead, at Mon Cheri.

When we got home the original landlady ask us to pay up the boarding room. She insisted that I should pay before 10th of this month. Excuse me? I just paid the phone bill for two months just because your good-for-nothing son didn't pay his share of the bill until very very late and now you're asking me for more money? She said, you just went shopping, it's impossible you don't have money. Me? Shopping? It's the mag I got from Masami! [insert cuss here!]

The phone bill is two-and-a-half times of my boarding room fee!!!! I'm left with 15K inside my wallet and that's what you said? Cuih! It's hard to put up a good face in front of people like that. But, I have to! =< I hated money exsistance to its core, because it creates gap between people, it stresses people, many many case of depression and family problem cored at money. *sigh*

The lady that lives here (her daughter-in-law) is going for three months break to labor her first child. She never pushes me around about the boarding fee, remembering she knows how much I have to cover the phonebill early every month, especially that good-for-nothing boy phone bill is.

So how's your brain doing?

I've been out of high school for six years, let's play some basic math game.

My boarding house total phone bill for the last two months is 1.2 mil rupiahs. Two-third of the first month is my landlady youngest son's share because he made alot of phone call in March to his girlfriend.

However his share is only half of this months total phone bill. His mum paid 750K rupiahs to me. So, how much is my boarding house phone bill for April and May? The May phone bill equals to my boarding room fee (w/o the rice and computer fee).

Answer, anyone??

Warm Sun

Today, after finished with my internet needs, I said goodbye to Pak Adi and went home via T Building. I decided to enjoy the sun, since it's almost 2 PM, and the weather is not that hot. So, I didn't go pass the parking lot.

Someone called me, it was Tantri. She's with her boyfriend, Agung, whom is Pak Adi's lil brother. I stop by and ask what are you doing here? When I walked along the terrace of D building a lot of people are eating. And the lunch box is similar to what Agung is eating.

"Oh, we're just finished with Ari Wibowo." We have this Christian Professional seminar and Ari Wibowo was there as a speaker. Damned! I wished I was there, peeking at Agung's lunch box, the food was great XD Ari Wibowo is not a major attraction when you're a hungry boarder! ^o^;

"Ooh!" was my only reply. Then Agung went, "He's such a cutie!" in a fangirl mode a couple of times. ^_^; Both of them are very suitable for each other. And Tantri is the kind of girl I would ask to be my younger sister. She's pretty and she knows what is like to be not-so-pretty.

Don't you think I like monochrome too much? I don't know why. It's easier to do and play with.

Ha ha ha, my former landlady just said "BCA akeh bajingane!" (literally: BCA is full with people working in mafias!) BCA is an established and trusted bank in Indonesia, but it creates all kinds of fees that really unattractive to its customers. We even have to pay to deposit money to other people! Now you see why she was saying that?

Administrative fee per month is US$2, and the deposit money fee is US$1 per transaction. It might not seem much, but it's actually is. With US$1, you can feed yourself for an average meal in Surabaya twice. That doesn't count if you eat in McDonalds or fancier restaurants.

Cuih! That's hot among us in the boarding house lately. (Notice the pun? If you couldn't, google for Paris Hilton quotation.) We're doing that to degrade someone playfully. Much like this expression: *throw up*

Had a migraine earlier and went to bed. I don't know if it was because anxiety or the food I ate earlier. I got so sick I want to throw up but I couldn't. I asked for some fruits from Ajeng and Angie. Mandarin Orange doesn't help, but the apple made me better.

Errrgh

It's not that I can do every single promises I made in an instant, but I kept a list of what I promised to people. And do it when I have time. Some people forgetting what they promised are just so annoying.

It's like double crossing you in a different manner. It hurts a little when it's nothing important, but it hurts alot when it IS important.

Even phone calls, SMSes, emails, and yelling at their faces won't help these kind of people. :/

Cuih!

It's almost two hours and the connection is still worse. Can't open my GMail account, which is no luck with lynx, since any Google interface that requires login are inacessible with lynx. Better upload my minithesis files than do nothing.

Food

Yesterday, I ate bubur kolak kacang ijo. The beans was from the days when I was sick, so it's kinda old ^^; Ajeng chip in to donate for the banana. *more massive sweatdrops*

At night, our maid fried me some terong and made terong penyet out of it. It was so hot and spicy, I had gone several times to the bathroom this morning. )) And I cut the rest of the watermelon to half, one for me and one for Santi. The excess liquid looks like blood on my skin. :p

Video Clip Shooting! + A paranormal?

After months not setting any foot to P building complex, last Saturday, I went there to check the administration office. Perhaps there's my name on the window or something because I haven't paid my tuition fee and all.

I was quite nervous because there's a lot of people and I feel intimidated when I walk pass the hallway in the first floor. Then I got the lift all for myself. Now, when I'm taking this lift, just before we got to the second floor I always turn back to see the second floor (transparent lift) and then turn back and standing close to the exit way when I'm about to jump off at my destination floor.

*ting* The sound is very familiar. Then I realize that there's a guy standing in front of me wearing a brownish fox suede jacket with that regreting pose and his back at me. I was like, huh? But, the guy moved and I walk outside the lift.

Then came the blinding studio light. And someone yell, "One, two, three, go!" That guy posing and a girl playing a playback cassette. I smiled when I realize they are shooting a video clip! Geez, that scares me! I don't like camera lights.

While I was browsing the things at the AO, they kept shooting and playback that cassette. IINM, it was Maroon 5. I think they're from DKV or Mass Communication. Met Alex and asked him about my tuition fee problem. He said, I better asked BAAk. Okey.

The landlady came just before I went out. Sucks! I don't like them around here. And after they left this Sunday afternoon, I just found out that the guy that was with them is a paranormal! *rolls eyes*

When I got home from my errand, I saw this glass ashtray near the stairs. Angie and Mas Aris' cellphones was stolen. Which was weird because we never had anything stolen for years. The only strangers is that guy.

Those people went to Juanda until very late and came back, I heard someone light up matches and all of the sudden the air became so filthy, I coughed until my lung feels weird. As the landlord asked me, I answered, "It's because someone is smoking!" They deny anybody is smoking. I know my nose better, thank you very much!

And this morning, the air is polluted with that guy smoke that makes my hair and skin tasted like ciggarette when I went to the bathroom. Thank God I was in the front of the house or else I'll be choked to death with that kind of pollution.

I don't honor people like that, sadly.
