Kecengan Lama Bersemi Kembali

-
Wow, ada kegembiraan dalam ketertekanan gue. Wehehe!

Akhir pekan ini, di saat gue butut berkeringat dan cukup bete berat, mendadak, muncullah, orang yang gue pikir nggak bakalan gue ketemu lagi buat selama-lamanya. An old crush!

There he was, standing two meters away from me, I was just browsing around and my sight bumped into him and thinking "I think I know this guy." And he noticed me, and we exchanged looks of recognition, and it was indeed him.

Wow...

my Old Crush... (or something, but I was genuinely kind of interested in him) shook my hand and looked happy to see me. To recognized me. I was happy he even remembered me.

Dan pada saat itu gue sedang butut berkeringat dan sedang cukup bete berat. So I reckon, I didn't look my best, but what the heck, he didn't look his best either, but come on... I used to have some sort of crush for this guy, so naturally I wanted him to notice me, not like notice "notice" but more to the paying attention kind of notice... like, asking me what I'm up to.

"So, you working here now?"

Which flows like really soothing cool beverage in a hot hectic day. And he topped it with...

"Yeah, it sounds interesting! I'd like to do something like that too!" in the end of our short conversation.

Indeed. Five years ago this would've flown me to heaven. This year, it raced my heart a teeny weeny bit... excited me for the whole week afterwards, and toned down into a more subtle hesitant anticipation.

Really cool.

Did I flirt? I think I did. Tapi ingat, gue saat itu lagi butut berkeringat dan sedang bete cukup berat. So I don't think it hit anything but my own conscience.

A very nice surprise. It didn't turn every song into love song, or pour rain down a romantic haze of Bolywood-esque fertility boost, but it made me smile a lot, raced my heart a slight bit, and fill a little corner in my heart with warmth.

I am smiling wide as I wrote this!

The first thing I did when I woke up at 8 am this morning was getting a glass of cold coke from the fridge and finish it. Hahah! No fasting today. This poster promotes that any girl who drink this soda beverage would look this awesome. Even the puppy has that dreamy grin on its face . I hadn't feel too fantastic throughout the day so house chores were done sparsely.The only highlight of the day was me discovering the wonder of human made technology inside a 500 rupiah plastic sachet. EUREKAAA!!! I am the kind of person that let her laundry piled up into a mountain, for not wanting to waste detergent suds and buckets of water just to wash three pieces of clothes everyday. Also, I don't really like doing laundry. I think washing machines are awesome and whoever invented them must be promoted and canonized into sainthood, or at least be given a Nobel prize . Seriously. The last week I had noticed that the small hill in the back porch that is my laundry pile was reaching a re...

Touch down! Mukanya gak menyiratkan drama mabok enterwind subuh buta Kurang asiknya transportasi di Bali adalah, susah cari angkot. Sudah ada sistem busway yang bernama Trans Sarbagita, dan informasi rute-rutenya bisa dicari online. Berhubung kondisi cranky dan spanneng karena masuk angin dan lelah batin, saya memilih untuk naik Uber dari bandara ke Kuta. Baru kemudian dari Kuta ke Ubud naik shuttle bus. Nggak langsung dari Bandara ke Ubud karena kami mendarat sekira jam 8:30 WITA dan jam check-in ke penginapan adalah jam 2 siang, agak males nungguin lama buat check-in. Selain itu mabuk akibat masuk angin harus diredakan dulu. 'Masir dulu Jadi, kami nongkrong makan dulu, baru kemudian pergi ke kantor Perama Kuta. Kenapa Perama, karena ini adalah juga perjalanan semi nostalgila saya. Atau bisa juga karena saya kudet sih, soalnya tahunya cuma Perama. Hahahak. Sesudah beli tiket untuk perjalanan jam 12, saya dan si monster kecil leyeh-leyeh sebentar, kemudian jalan kaki ...

Two Thousand Seven All Over Again

Now I remember why I don't really like sahur at 3-4 am. Am too lazy to chew. Had nasi padang too early at 11 pm, the bread toast was shared between me and J. I was still up until half past three this morning, and there are still left over of the toast, so I finished it off. It was just one slice, but it took like five minutes for me to chew and swallow. Tonight I would probably had my sahur as late as 2 am. Later than that I would be too lazy to eat anything. Yeah, it doesn't sound right does it? Me, lazy to eat anything. Haha. I woke up at ten this morning. This is quite early by average. I did the house chores while updating news through plurknation. Internet connection is as slow as ever. And it's a hot hot day. So hot and dry, I resorted to the wonder of olive oil for my parched parched skin. I skipped my hair because I planned to chop it off today. Since I planned to write something about batik, after house chores I kept myself awake for another two hours or so, e-...
