Overnight Chats…

Friday, January 20th, 2006

Last week, friends of my batch (from SIF’02 fellowship) were managed to meet up @ Olala Café Sarinah, just to have a cup of coffee and overnight chats. Though it was raining so hard, but our willingness can beat the rain!! Hehe…

And we could make it @ 9pm, eventually!! There were 6 of us. Dewi, nina, riza, rahmat, nanang & me. Too bad that Agnes & Joy couldn’t make it, we miss u already!!

After got a cup of coffee to warm up the atmosphere, we started with trivial jokes bout riza that has been expertise for product knowledge of his beloved company, and his new position as pak Lurah at the MT community for his batch. I think he really enjoy it, as he make a worth compensation for his job!! Hehe…. I wish to b so… ;p

Followed by dewi’s pers conference, announcing her new status which already be “in a deep relationship” with a guy she met @ Aceh last month. Wow… “accidentally in love” did happen!!! We’re Happy for U, dear!! ;)

I was really excited especially for her story bout Aceh (beside her new Acehnese boyfriend of course!! hehe..), as she has spent two months there for a media relation project. Through the story I could get a bit more outlook bout Aceh real condition nowdays, a year after Tsunami. I heard bout the mega project of rebuilding Aceh and thought of its impact to the remaining pure culture and community structure of the great Aceh.

I hope the governments & all of those NGOs who have been involved in those big projects are purely do it for social reason, though some or even many of them are “seem” not to be that way. Business thing is always be part of them, but…. Who am I to judge?!

It was getting crowded as midnight come, then we decided to go to dewi’s house to stay overnight…, continue the chat bout experience & thoughts and watched film as usual. But then what…… I was slept away just one moment after we got there!! Hehe…. That’s obviously me…. ;p

I thought morning came so fast. I wasn’t woken up by my cell phone alarm, and it means so late!!!!

We’re having nasi uduk for breakfast, and it was taste so good (regardless that it’s free!! hehe…). Dewi’s mom does a good cook, no wonder dewi grows well….hihiii….. no offense plizz… ;p

Haven’t felt enough for the overnight chat, we continued our story after breakfast. So curious to hear bout the story & many topics of discussion, from nanang’s thought bout formation of a country and money factor in it, Quraish Shihab’s thematic translation of AlQurAn, until dewi’s critic for Dian Sastro (hehe…. u forgot how young she is! ;p ), and our appreciation to the compassionate Glenn Fredly who has turn the broken heart into a great inspiration (through his successful album)!! Yup, we’re totally agreed with dewi, others might have been pessimist after hurt by love, but Glenn could turn it into a large number of money. Hihiii….I think the brokenhearted guys should follow his way ;)   Life must go on!!

Well, it was a nice moment to share. Can’t believe that we could still rock the day as we used to be!! And hope it will last…

See u guys on our next overnight chats!!

Ngobrol ama kalian emang gak ada matinya!!! ;D

Luv ;)

Evaluations & Expectations

Monday, January 2nd, 2006

Well…. life is a matter of choices…

2005 has just gone.. I’ve got many ups & downs through the year!! There must b lots of experience & new things i’ve got during the year. Make new friends, accomplish new projects, deal with tough works & clients, struggle badly to get all things done within the timeline, maintain good relationship with people around, & keep learning something new. I must thank God 4 all those things…

People just come & go….. They took their own way as they want. Though sometimes we have to sacrifice other things to achieve the better one. Well, honestly i hate to choose!! even for the trivial…

I was thinking that God must made it all complicated to teach us how to deal with things…how to manage our own life…& how to set priority, as we might not be able to get it all. yup, humans are typical…never satisfied for everything they had. But look on the bright side…. we might not get new experience if we’re not that curious, we might not achieve many great accomplishments if we’re not that ambitious (i mean…in a good way..). The thing is… we’re frequently just focused on every higher expectations which might not be a "good one" for others or our environment, forgot to look down & give some attentions to our social life. phew!! it’s kinda hard…

I personally a bit regret for not having much time spent with families & even communities… due to works!! I just kinda feel guilty to my beloved family…I know, they wish i could stay.. Being apart from them is not that easy. Coz it has been my responsibility to take care of them, & give as much attention as i can.

But sometimes we have to be able to cooperate with any circumstances. I’m just a beginner in this bloody capitalist world!! Wish i have my own company!!(haha…. Wishful thinking is somehow good, isn’t it?!) Amiiiiiinnnn….. ;D

I do believe that every single effort can make a difference eventhough it’s not a big one, we just have to make it true! We are responsible for our own choices, if we can’t built our own business yet, then we can contribute something good to the corporation instead…without leaving our own life….whout abandoning our society… & keep trying to build a good mindset of "corporation" instead of those damn capitalist things…

Personal Evaluation might be a good way to make a self improvement, while Spirit is gonna be a "must have" attribute to turn expectations into something visible. And Emotional as well as spiritual quotions are something important to be involved for setting any goals & expectations..

May we have a great spirit to achieve our resolutions!! as I still wish to be the better me ;)
