Last Post Before 2003

I actually wanted to write on the last day of 2002, but since I won’t sleep at home on tomorrow’s night, then it should be tonight.

Hmm, it was a good year for me yet it did bring some unpleasant moments, but overall, I liked the way it’s. Good things were I made it to Japan. I already had the chance to learn one more new language, meet new friends especially those who took a really good care of me while I was there.
There were also some moments I had some great memories of Mats, then the value of a true friendship between me, Ua, Indra, Henry and Ken. I know them better and I am glad I have those friends around me.
The family’s trip to Bali did bring good experiences. That was the first trip after dad’s gone even though my second sis wasn’t joining us. But with the presence of Derren, the trip brought great things.

The bad things were I had a really short of cash during this year ( in fact, I am still having the crisis ), I couldn’t save and I spent a lot. There were also broken hearts and missing friends.

Back to this moment, I am having good times with Ken and sometimes the old feeling appears and then I’d feel sad knowing he’s leaving here soon. But we had one chance of having one dinner together at the Empire Grill, the rotating restaurant with Jakarta’s views at night. It was a great moment. I am trying not to fall in love one more time with him, thinking he’s far away ( with a girlfriend too ). Perhaps the best thing is keeping the friendship, just the way it is.

I don’t know yet of my new year’s resolution. As usual, I don’t want to make one, knowing I will only break them. I am 26, and I still want to do some things before I turn into 30. I hope next year will bring some exciting new moments for me again. Hopefully

He is Here, Merry X’mas !!!

Ken is here already for a few days and just early this morning, I sent him and Henry off to the train station, heading for Yogyakarta until this Saturday.

I was really glad that he’s visiting, glad that I am gathering again with an old friend, glad that we’re still good friends, glad that I still care as much as before.

He likes tasting any kind of foods, from soto to nasi goreng, especially satay. It’s not hard hunting foods for him, except that he needs clean places to eat.
And I just can’t wait spending New Year’s eve together with other friends, spending the last moments of this year. I am just wondering when will we see each other again?

Two nights ago, I had a talk with San yon. Glad to know that he’s going to visit me too next summer. He’s going to stay here for at least 2 months, perhaps also visiting other cities in Indonesia, and learning Indonesian language while he’s here.

Meanwhile, it’s another Christmas again ! I actually miss the winter in New York, and Osaka just like last year. I never really like winter as much as summer, but somehow, a few times in your lifetime, sweet memories are coming back to you. Hah !

I felt sorry for him. In fact, I was wondering why should I feel sorry for him. I knew the feeling, I had it before, and it took me such a long time to forgive and forget. He, once I thought was the love of my life time ( now, only as an ordinary friend ) is going through the phrase that I also had before. Funny, I knew it would happen, and when it happened, I was glad that I wasn’t happy about it. I just felt sorry for him.

Bali, the Paradise

So you know from the title, I even felt it hard to tell you how much I love that place! Ya ya, the five days trips are over now…: (

The first thing I noticed was there were no public transportation except for taxis. People are riding motorbike and cars there ( of course that since it’s a tourism place, there’re lots of rental cars everywhere ).

Even the houses and buildings are not higher than the coconut trees, and just everywhere you go, you find the greenery !! It was like going back to village and indeed a great run-away from daily lives !

The people are nice and friendly, seemed so pure and innocent. The seas are beautiful, more beautiful if you see it from the sky. Hah !
The seafood are incredibly delicious, you eat by the sea, you hear and see the waves, oh how romantic !!! Haha !

I did parasailing once and it was unforgettable experience ! For 2 minutes, you’re at top of the world ( well, at least to me ), you see down there, the beautiful green sea and small boats and people. How wonderful !

I liked best in Kuta, where I think it’s more like in Santa Monica, it’s a crowded place with shops but of course the hotel I was staying in Nusa Dua : Great !

One thing for sure, it’s really really hot !! (with humidity of 80%). You’re burn and now I guess I am so tanned !!

If I have a chance again in the future, I will go back ! This, I promised !

JPT Test, Job Interview and Bali soon

Finally, I took the Japanese Proficiency Test on last Sunday. To tell the truth, I didn’t study much at all ( not that I didn’t have times to prepare, but I guess I was lazy most of the time ). So blame me if I fail ( hopefully not since I think I did well in Listening and Kanji parts but not in Reading and Grammar parts )
Anyway, all I have to do now is waiting for 2,5 months before the result comes out.

Last week, I had one job interview. I even forgot when did I write one ( perhaps around 2 months ago). I went and I do like what they’re offering. The job is in Marketing team, which means I will communicate with the overseas customers, handling the receivable documents and maintaining customers. What I like most about it is they require Chinese and English languages ( the main factory is in China with overseas customers). According to them, they are also going to expand its wings to Japan. There will also a chance to be placed in China for a long term. Working overseas is actually what I want most so I have agreed going through the second interview in January.

Meanwhile, the Idul Fitri ‘s holiday is coming soon and this year, we are going to Bali from 5th to 9th this month. Oh, I can’t wait !!!! With so much burdens on works lately, I do miss holiday much !!!

Ken is coming soon too. Me and Henry now are busy looking some information, trying our best to make his days wonderful here. Too bad that I can’t accompany them going to Yogyakarta and Borobudur but at least I will go with them to Pulau Seribu. Some plans are made already including what to do on New Year’s Eve with some friends.
Really, I miss seeing him again !
