It ain't funny

Hey, what do you think of war? What if there's a war going on in some place, not quite far from here? Would you make fun out of it? It's a war, nonetheless. Nobody should make fun of it. It's a serious, life-threatening event that is not supposed to be happened. So why did you make fun of it?

I have bunch of friends there.. and their lives are being damn threatened. I've sent emails to them to make sure they're safe and sound. Right now I'm anxiously waiting for their replies. So, instead of making fun of the situation, would you mind send them, at least, prayers?

Thank you.

Girls to work and spend the days with

Okay, I've been here at the new office for a week and, well, obviously, I feel totally not excited yet. Not because of the thing that I have to do here. No. That's the reason why I left my first office. I love that I get to write, not only to translate or to copy-paste to make it worst. Here, I write. I use my mind to create lines originally. But, the fact that I'm not happy (yet) here is kind of disturbing.

You know how I love my first office. I work with bunch of crazy friends. We shared laughter too much. I always said back then, "I might have a crappy job but I got world's most great co-workers to work with" and it's true.

Here... there are only 7 creative persons. Three of them are the directors, my bosses to be exactly said. One copy writer and the rest are the art directors. Among the 7 of us, two are females: me and the CD lady.

Don't let me start to talk about the account executives. They're all females but, yeah.. you know, heee..heee..

All I wanted to say waaaaas...

Not only I miss my previous co-workers, but I also totally miss my girl friends back there!

I miss girly-girl talks

*sigh

No matter how 'boyish' I am, now I realize that having girl friends at work is important.

Bittersweet last days at the office

During the whole month of October 2010, I experienced the best things that ever happened in my life: amazing birthday, bittersweet last days at the office, and trip to Central Java. This post is about how I spent my October at the office, because I appreciated every single little thing that happened then.

Like..

My last bus rides. I watched the sky as if I would never see it again. I played the same playlist so whenever I hear the songs, I would remember how I felt that day.

Blue sky morning and Train's Hey Soul Sister

My overtime work because of the Sale thingy, accompanied by friends and crappy dinner.

Pile of compilations and tumblr as a sweeeet distraction

Toast and tea in the evening

 The emptiness of Y's work space during his sick day off.

Totally not cool when it's empty

The presence of Y when he got back to work and the fact that I'm not gonna see him sit next to my desk every day...

Turn left and there's you

The cramped aisle, crowded friends with the color-coordinated t-shirts who were busy doing something or nothing.

I love when we were wearing same color of outfits coincidentally

Early breakfast with Y, yes with him only, that early! hahaha.. But, the long table soon completed with other friends and breakfast turned into something more exciting.

He came early for the last 2 weeks just because.. ^^

Lunch and coffee after that. I knew I was gonna miss this moment! I could not ask for better lunch-mates and barista!

Lunch time happiness

I'm so gonna miss her caramel macchiato

The surprise farewell party, hosted by the big boss and totally supported by everyone. I could not say a better word for it. I felt so blessed, I am very thankful for that, and of course... I LOVE THE PRESENTS!! :D These great pictures were taken by mas Eja, our photographer. Thank you, mas!



And... this.. another thing I am gonna miss. Photo booth session! These are my last photo booth session with them. Glad that Uncle joined!

On October 2009, I got hired and on October 2010 I chose to leave the office for good. I met great friends, fell in love, learned a lot, laughed too much, and cried like a baby. But no matter how far I go, I will always remember this experience, especially the little things.

So long, friends... wish me luck!

I love you, guys :)

I’m 24 and in love with my life even more

This is a backtracking post for October 23, 2010, yes.. my birthday :)

I remember how I felt that night.

It was way past eleven in the evening and I was already on my bed, trying to sleep. Then, Ditha texted me, wishing me a happy birthday in advance just because in KL, was already October 23. Funny how her text reminded me it's already a year since I had my last birthday. It felt like it's been more than 4 years ago.

Minutes after that, Y called and made that night hysterical and worth remembering. The rest is our story to keep.

This is how happy I was that night.

Blame yourself, hun! You're vanished and didn't get a chance to see my happy face!

And with this picture, I proudly revised my own statement of white lilies.

WHITE LILIES!!!! I love youuuu! :*

And then, there's always dinner, cake, gifts and loved ones..

Almost-melted-yet-still-tempting Strawberry Cheese Cake

I couldn't ask for more gifts :)

Parents who brought me to this world 24 years ago

Bro and sis-in-law

Heeey ;)

Baby brother and sister who are no longer babies

And the happiness continued until the next day. I got another sweet surprise from my high school girls, and the most sumptuous lunch at Nanny's Pavilion. Photo credits: Humairah Razak

Unexpected cake :)

Empty plates, fully-loaded tummies and hearts

and... hold on for sec.. The Vampire Weekend's concert with privilege of VIP free pass!! Thanks for Mba Jennis :* By the way, it's our first concert, and it's awesome enough to be remembered.



Pouty VIP, hahahaha..

 Thanks for everyone, and special thanks for Y, for being (almost) 24 hours by my side on my important day.
