Loooong Weekend

Dearest You,

I never thought I could get bored on a long weekend... but I was... I'm sorry that I was, but that's the fact. The festivities that went on on the occasion of Eid el Adha did not bring my mood up. The constant chants praising Allah only made me adrift into a deepest sleep. Opening this blog did not work either, I have been staring at a blank page for 2 consecutive days.

The usual clicks on FV, FT, CL, PetSoc and other games on FB did not work either. I clicked with blank mind, not realizing how many crops have been harvested then plowed then replanted. O well, the clicks on my mouse very much represented the clicks on the clock.

Until... beep beep... the very familiar sound on my Blackberry woke me up from my daydreaming. My brother is on his way to town! Whaaaaatt??? He was not supposed to come until tomorrow. Yeaaaahhhh!!! Yipppeeee... Hey but wait, how am I supposed to pick him up?? Quick, quick, quick... best friends to the rescue... My dearest friend from High School, mutual best friend of my brother and mine, ping ping ping on his BB, and yes, it's a date, we are going to the train station!!

Finally, after long hours of deafening boredom, I can go out and spend some times off with people dear to my heart. The ha ha ha, hi hi hi, the "do you remember"s and all the memories from 20 years back simply rolled like a time machine. Making the restaurant feeling like the canteen of our high school, not minding the stares of people as we laughed out loud over dirty jokes....

Oh well, dear Iwan - my brother, dear Salmon - my best friend, dear Vina - new acquaintance who instantly clicked, and dear Ina - my cousin who learned of adulthood with me... you just made my day. I guess with the short time we spent, you just showered me with new excitement and I look forward to the rest of my holiday.

Tootles!!

It's just another rainy day

Dear you,

I woke up, 5:00 am, as usual, shollat Subuh... click my PC and harvest FarmVille, FarmTown and CountryLife... I was so focussed on the click click click of my keyboard that I did not realize there were drip drip drip outside my window...

I looked out... It was still dark, the sky was pitch black and the rain was pouring... Juuuuuust puuurrrrfect (like that cat on Strawberry Shortcake cartoon).

Here in Jakarta, rain means traffic jam, flood (in most part of the town), and eventually late at work cuz you just want to curl up some more in the comfort of your bed. Well, you know what... today I do NOT want to skip work for one bit. This is my LAST day at Relife, a life insurance company that has been kind enough to transfer some money into my bank account each month for the last 2 years.

Today, I will say goodbye to friends who have been family since I joined this marvelous company. Gosh, to think about it, I see this people longer than I see my kids in a day... I spend, what..., 9 hours or more (mostly more) for 5 consecutive days... I think I see less of my kids...

That's why I love my colleagues, especially those who have been in my department (Marketing Communications). Pak Reinhardt, my dear big bear ex boss... Ibu Siti, my so sophisticated yet funny "dash line" boss, Patricia my sister-like boss. Then there's Hudy who holds my secrets, Nina my source of answers, Aldhien my storage box of ideas. And then there are Marcomm++ members... Imeldha the grandmother of us all, Kim the best girl any boys can get (guys, you have GOT to love her...) and then there is Beben whom I don't have enough words to describe but let's just say he's the frosting of the cake. We are the Tim Bulu Ketek... translated in English would be Armpit Hair Team bwahahahaha... Don't ask me why, I have no idea...

There are so many names to mention aside of my team, but posting one would mean posting everyone for I love them all... And I really hate to miss a name... Relifers, I love you... so so so so very much... People out there ex Relifers, I'm joining you soon!!!

Well, Mr. Rain, you are NOT going to stop me today... This is farewell day and this is I love you, I'm gonna miss you day. Step aside flood, Ndy is coming!!

My diary

Dear you,

This is my first blog... Frankly, I have no idea what I'm doing lol... Well, maybe this is more like a "dear Diary" type of thing... Like the one I used to have back when I was in early teens. I stopped writing at that time cuz I got so mad when my parents read my diary and played Editor in Chief.

Gosh, diaries are meant to be private, rite... then why blogging, which is considered public? Maybe just because you just want to share a little part of your memoir ... so that people would remember you when you pass to another life... Just like Voldemort when he put a part of him into a diary (which title was that?? Chamber of something... I dunno, I forgot, I'll look it up later). Yeah, something like that...

Do you really want to know about my life? It's not that exciting, you know, although I have to admit that I try to enjoy each and every second of it.

Prolly the most exciting part are the kids... There would be thousands of stories to tell when it comes to kids. I mean, every proud parent would beam each time they're being asked of their kids. Well, I'm no different. But I'll tell you about them later...

Well, dear friends, just for the records, my name is Windy. I love being called Ndy. It's nice and unique... very me... :) and oh, btw, I'm a Leo, so if you don't see modesty in my pages, please blame it on my mother who gave birth to me on July, 1972. Love you, mom...

Write to you later, people!!
