Okay, I think I rather close this year with humour instead of mockery. ;p..
And also to add to the record that is difficult for me to break... 9 posts in a month.
Wish you all good new year ahead with a lot of laughter and love!
Enjoy!
A young executive is leaving the office late one evening when he finds the CEO standing in front of the shredder with a piece of paper in his hand. "Listen," says the CEO, "this is a very sensitive and important document here, and my secretary has gone for the night. Can you make this thing work?" "Certainly," says the young executive. He turns the machine on, puts the paper in, and hits the start button. "Thanks," says the CEO as his paper disappears inside the machine. "I just need one copy."
An elderly couple is having an elegant dinner to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. During desert, the man leans over and says to his wife, "Dear, there's something I have to ask you. It's always bothered me that our 10th child never quite looked like the rest of the kids. I must know—did he have a different father?" The wife drops her head, unable to look at her husband. "Yes," she admits. "He does." Tears well up in the old man's eyes. "Please," he says, "would you tell me who it was?" The woman pauses while mustering her courage. Then she says, "You."
A woman golfer visited a driving range and noticed the man next to her. "Pardon me, sir," she said. "You're aiming in the wrong direction, towards the golf shop." "Oy!" the man exclaimed. "Tanks for dat. Vitout you, I vouldn't know. I'm blindt." He then turns around and starts hitting out into the range. After a few minutes, he asks the lady how he is doing. "Not bad," she answers. "Most of your shots are straight and fairly long. Only a few of them are slicing." "Tanks, again," he replies. "Vitout you telling, I vouldn't know dese tings." A few shots later, he inquires again. "Do you mind I should ask a poisonal qvestion?" "Not at all," she replies. "I don't do vell vit the ladies. Am I ugly or vat?" "You're quite presentable," she replies, "I don't think that should be a problem." Smiling now, he says, "Vat a relief. I vas always afraid to ask. Again, I got to tank you." He was about to hit another ball when the lady interrupts him. "Do you mind if I give you a bit of advice?" she asks. "Vit gladness. All de help you got I vill take," he answers. "Lose the Jewish accent," she replies. "You're Chinese."
A man joins a big corporate empire as a trainee.
On his very first day of work, he dials the pantry and shouts into the phone - "Get me a coffee, quickly!"
The voice from the other side responded, "You fool you've dialed the wrong extension! Do you know who you're talking to, dumbo?"
"No," replied the trainee.
"It's the CEO of the company, you fool!"
The trainee shouts back, "And do YOU know who YOU are talking to, you fool?!"
"No." replied the CEO indignantly.
"Good!" replied the trainee, and puts down the phone.
A man and his wife we re in a court for their divorce case.
The Problem was who should get custody of the child.
The wife screamed and jumped up and said: "Your Honor. I brought The child into the world with all the pain and labor.
The child Should be in my custody. "
The judge turned to the husband and said: "What do you have to Say in your defense?"
The man sat for a while contemplating. ..then slowly rose. "Your Honor... If I put a dollar in a Pepsi Vending Machine and a Pepsi Comes out...
Whose Pepsi is it... The machine's or mine?"
A man went to a urologist and told him that he was having a problem and that he was unable to get his penis erect. After a complete exam the doctor told the man that the muscles around the base of his penis were damaged from a prior viral infection and there was nothing he could do for him.
However, he knew of an experimental treatment that might work, if he were willing to take the risk. The treatment consisted of implanting muscle tissue from an elephant's trunk in the man's penis.
The man thought about it for a while. The thought of going through life without ever experiencing sex again was just too much for him to bear. So, with the assurance that there would be no cruelty or adverse effect on the elephant, the man decided to go for it. A few weeks after the operation, he was given the green light to use his newly renovated equipment.
As a result, he planned a romantic evening with his girlfriend and took her to one of the nicest restaurants in the city. However, in the middle of dinner he felt a stirring between his legs that continued to the point of being extremely painful. To release the pressure, he unzipped his fly and immediately his penis sprang from his pants, went to the top of the table, grabbed a roll, then returned to his pants.
His girlfriend was stunned at first, but then with a sly smile on her face said: "That was incredible. Can you do that again?"
With his eyes watering, he replied: "I think I can, but I'm not sure if I can fit another roll up my arse."
A fleeing Taliban, desperate for water, was plodding through the
Afghanistan desert when he saw something far off in the distance.
Hoping to find water, he hurried toward the object, only to find a little
old Jewish man at a small stand selling ties.
The Taliban asked, "Do you have water?"
The Jewish man replied, "I have no water. Would you like to buy a tie?
They are only $5."
The Taliban shouted, "Idiot! I do not need an over-priced tie. I need
water! I should kill you, but I must find water first!"
"OK," said the old Jewish man, "it does not matter that you do not want
to buy a tie and that you hate me. I will show you that I am bigger than that.
If you continue over that hill to the east for about two miles, you will
find a lovely restaurant. It's owned by my brother and has all the ice &
cold water you need. Shalom."
Muttering, the Taliban staggered away over the hill. Several hours later he
staggered back, almost dead.
"Your fucking brother won't let me in without a tie!"
A young man was lost wandering in a forest, when he came upon a small house.
He knocked on the door and was greeted by an ancient Chinese man with a long, grey beard. "I'm lost," said the man. "Can you put me up for the night?"
"Certainly," the Chinese man said, "but on one condition. If you so much as lay a finger on my daughter, I will inflict upon you the three worst Chinese tortures known to man."
"Ok," said the man, thinking that the daughter must be pretty old as well, and entered the house.
Before dinner, the daughter came down the stairs. She was young, beautiful, and had a fantastic figure.
She was obviously attracted to the young man since she couldn't keep her eyes off him during the meal.
Remembering the old man's warning, he ignored her and went up to bed alone.
But during he night, he could bear it no longer, and sneaked into her room for a night of passion.
He was careful to keep everything quiet so the old man wouldn't hear. Near dawn he crept back to his room, exhausted, but happy.
He woke in the morning with the feel of pressure on his chest. Opening his eyes he saw a large rock on his chest with a note on it that read, "Chinese Torture 1: Large rock on chest."
"Well, that's pretty crappy," he thought. "If that's the best the old man can do then I don't have much to worry about."
He picked the boulder up, walked over to the window and threw the boulder out. As he did so he noticed another note on it that read: "Chinese Torture 2: Rock tied to left testicle."
In a panic he glanced down and saw the rope that was already getting close to the end.
Figuring that a few broken bones was better than castration, he jumped out of the window after the boulder.
As he plummeted downward he saw a large sign on the ground that read, "Chinese Torture 3: Right testicle tied to bedpost."
There once was an elderly couple who had been married for going on fifty years. Every morning, when the husband woke up, he would fart. A real bed shaker that left the wife's eyes watering. She begged him to stop, but he insisted it was a natural bodily function. He seemed to delight in her distress, and she was certain he was doing it on purpose.
Disgusted, she said to him, "One of these days, you're going to fart your guts out."
After years of enduring, she could take it no longer, and on Thanksgiving morning, after preparing the turkey, she took the giblets upstairs and slipped them under the covers, next to her still-sleeping husband's ass.
Not long after, she hears his wall-shaking flatulence, followed by an unearthly scream.
Twenty minutes later, her husband comes downstairs, white-faced and trembling.
"You were right, Dear," the old man says, "I finally did fart my guts out. But, by the grace of God, these two fingers, and half a jar of Vaseline, I got them back in!"
A woman went to her doctor for a followup visit after the doctor had prescribed testosterone (a male hormone) for her. She was a little worried about some of the side effects she was experiencing.
"Doctor, the hormones you've been giving me have really helped, but I'm afraid that you're giving me too much. I've started growing hair in places that I've never grown hair before."
The doctor reassured her. "A little hair growth is a perfectly normal side effect of testosterone. Just where has this hair appeared?"
"On my balls."
It was the day of the big sale. Rumours of the sale and some advertising in the local paper were the main reason for the long line that formed by 8:30 in the morning in front of the store. A small man pushed his way to the front of the line, only to be pushed back, amid loud and colourful curses.
On the man's second attempt, he was punched square in the jaw, and knocked around a bit, and then thrown to the end of the line again. As he got up the second time, he said to the person at the end of the line, "That does it! If they hit me one more time, I don't open the damn store!"
A man comes home from an exhausting day at work, plops down on the couch in front of the television, and tells his wife, "Get me a beer before it starts." The wife sighs and gets him a beer. Fifteen minutes later, he says, "Get me another beer before it starts." She looks cross, but fetches another beer and slams it down next to him. He finishes that beer and a few minutes later says, "Quick, get me another beer, it's going to start any minute." The wife is furious. She yells at him "Is that all you're going to do tonight? Drink beer and sit in front of that TV? You're nothing but a lazy, drunken, fat slob, and furthermore ..." The man sighs and says, "It's started.."
This drunk is sitting in a bar and asks the bartender, "Where’s the bathroom at?" The bartender says, "Go down the hall and make a right." Well, all of a sudden, everybody at the bar hears this loud scream and wonders what is going on in the bathroom. A few minutes go by again and everybody at the bar hears another loud scream that comes out of the bathroom again. This time the bartender goes into the bathroom to investigate what the drunk is screaming about. He opens the door and asks the drunk, “What’s all the screaming about in here? You are scaring all my customers away.” The drunk says, “I’m sitting on the toilet and every time I go to flush it, something comes up and squeezes the hell out of my balls.” With that, the bartender opens up the door and looks in and says, “No wonder, you’re sitting on a mop bucket!"
An Italian, an Irishman and a Chinese fellow are hired at a construction site. The foreman points out a huge pile of sand and says to the Italian guy, "You're in charge of sweeping," to the Irishman, "You're in charge of shoveling," and to the Chinese guy, "And you're in charge of supplies. Now, I have to leave for a little while. I expect you guys to make a dent in that pile."
So the foreman goes away for a couple hours, and when he returns, the pile of sand is untouched. He says to the Italian, "Why didn't you sweep any of it?" The Italian replies, "I didn't have a broom. You said the Chinese guy was in charge of supplies, but he disappeared and I couldn't find him."
So then the foreman turn to the Irishman and asks why he didn't shovel. The Irishman replies, "I couldn't get myself a shovel. You left the Chinese guy in charge of supplies, but I couldn't find him."
The foreman is really pissed off now, and storms off toward the pile of sand looking for the Chinese guy. Just then, the Chinese guy springs out from behind the pile of sand and yells 'supplies'!"
So a guy and his wife arrives from a business trip and goes to his favorite steakhouse unaware of the mad cow outbreak in his town. The waiter sits them and says, "Our special today is duck or shrimp." The man replies, "I want a T-bone steak medium well." The waiter a bit miffed continues, "What about the mad cow?" The man looks at the waiter and says, "She can order for herself."
A duck walks into a store and asks the cashier: "Do you have any paddles?" Cashier: "No." The duck repeats: "Do you have any paddles?" Cashier: "No!" The duck asks again, "Do you have any paddles?" "NO!" the cashier shouts. Once again the duck asks "Do you have any paddles?" Fed up, the cashier shouts angrily "No! And if you ask me again, I'll nail your foot to the floor." So the duck walks out. The next day the duck goes to the store and stands in the doorway and asks "Do you have any nails?" The cashier says "no." The duck says "Good, do you have any paddles?"
A farmer goes out one day and buys a brand new stud rooster for his chicken coop. The rooster struts over to the old rooster and says, "OK, old-timer, time to retire." The old rooster replies, "Come on, you can't handle ALL these chickens. Look what it's done to me. Can't you just let me have the two old hens over in the corner?" The young rooster says, "Beat it! You're washed up and I'm taking over." The old rooster says, "I'll tell you what, young stud, I'll race you around the farmhouse. Whoever wins gets exclusive domain over the entire chicken coop." The young rooster laughs, "You know you don't stand a chance old man, so just to be fair, I'll give you a head start." The old rooster takes off running. About 15 seconds later the young rooster takes off after him. They round the front of the farmhouse and the young rooster has closed the gap. He's already about five inches behind the old rooster and gaining fast. The farmer, meanwhile, is sitting on the front porch when he sees the roosters running by. He grabs up his shotgun and BOOM, he blows the young rooster to bits. The farmer sadly shakes his head, "Damn it, third gay rooster I bought this month."
A noted sex therapist realized that people often lie about the frequency of their encounters, so he devised a test to tell for certain how often someone had sex. To prove his theory, he filled up an auditorium with people, and went down the line asking each person to smile. Using the size of the person's smile, the therapist was able to guess accurately how often each person had sex. The last man in line was grinning from ear to ear. "Twice a day," the therapist guessed, but was surprised when the man said no. "Once a day, then?" Again the answer was no. "Twice a week?" "No." "Twice a month?" "No." When the doctor asked, "Once a year?" the man finally said yes. The therapist was angry that his theory hadn’t worked with this individual, and he asked the man, "What the heck are you so happy about?" The man answered, "Tonight's the night!"
A man goes to the doctors and says, "Doctor, I've got this problem you see, only you've got to promise not to laugh." The doctor replies, "Of course I won't laugh, that would be thoroughly unprofessional. In more than 20 years of being a doctor, I've never laughed at a patient." "OK, then," says the man, and he drops his trousers. The doctor is presented with the smallest penis he has ever seen in his life. Unable to control himself, he falls about laughing on the floor. Ten minutes later he is able to struggle up to his feet and wipe the tears from his eyes. "I'm so sorry," he says to the patient, "I don't know what came over me, I won't let it happen again. Now what seems to be the problem?" The man looks up at the doctor sadly and says, "It's swollen."

Designer Babies
I want to close this year with what I do best: mencela!
What is the English word for that? Mocking? Yup, maybe.
Two or three days ago, in newspaper, I read an interesting article. This company provides sperms, what make it special is they provide sperms of celebrity look-alike. And so far, they are doing pretty well. Look-alike, mind you. And according to the article, best selling sperm is from a Ben Affleck look-alike donor. (What are they thinking?)
The even more weirder thing is that they can actually do customization.. so for example if you want Hugh Jackman chin, Tom Cruise eyes and Gerald Depardieu nose, or whatever, by all means! (I wonder how?! You mean you can decide which of that little sticky thing is actually eyes, nose?)
Anyway, I think it' quite scary to customize babies.. or designer babies, so they said. Well, it's just unnatural for my liking, where is the element of surprise, where is the cuteness of parent-children look-alike, where is the human element???
I heard before about customizing DNA so that the babies would be born healthy, well, I think that one might be a breakthrough in medical history in positive way. Who doesn't want healthy babies? Who want their babies to suffer? I've seen many suffering and pain so I guess that would be well received in respected way.
However, to design how a baby would look? Worse, with look-alike? You know what look-alike is.. look-alike can mean anything! What if the Tom Cruise look-alike is actually Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder? Hallooo... It's subjective! How many time someone says you look like some other people and you did your best to deny it? I know I did, many many times. From being flattered to WHAT?!? Get out of here!!
I mean, if you can secure the real deal, there is no point of going for look-alike. Sssshhhh..
But as I grow older, I learn there is one thing consistent.
Never say never.
Unless you really in the respective shoes, you never know what you are going to do or what you are going to feel. It's just so easy to judge from afar.
So, even though I find it ridiculous now, I never know what I would do in their position.
I guess every parents want their kids to have easier life, and honestly, people associate easy life with better looks. It might be true, proven many times. It might be not, proven many times.
But, one thing.... Ben Affleck? Come on...

Quizzes!!
P.S: I had a handful of html, but hopefully it works fine!
Sometimes, I like to try out little quizzes like these, when I don't feel like doing anything heavy or something tasking. Everyone (admit it!) love to know more about themselves to certain extend. I think that human is so complicated that we don't even understand ourselves 100%. Some make it good like 80-90%, but most probably many fall into category of 60%, while some barely make it pass 40%. Where do I get these number? From my own undefined analysis. Mhe he he.. I'm quite sure about it though, and I believe if I'm very sure for long, it would be eventually true. Of course! Otherwise, I would change the numbers. Right..?
I used to call them silly little quizzes but I drop the 'silly' because sometimes I'm amazed with the result, especially when it says nice thing about me, of course. As the way I am, I love pop-up-less and really straight to the point quizzes without the need to sign up anything or those annoying quiz who let you answer 100 questions and tell you that you need to pay at the end of the day to know the results.
I found this website by accident, and believe me, I can spend significant amount of 'light' time just fumbling through all those, but after that, get on with reality.
http://www.blogthings.com/
I don't really wonder about this question, but there were some occasions that make me think "Am I a flirt?" I was told before by some friends (guys!) that some guys 'misread' my signals because I was being nice to them, and to guys, being nice almost equal to I like them too in more than friendly kind of way. I would brush it aside because it's unreasonable to me for not being what I am (which is: nice --> huekkk) and if they know me well enough, they'll see. Truth to be told, I proved my point. However, I was reading woman's magazine sometime ago, and to my surprise, there are many things that considered as 'flirt' to men. Even the simplest thing that looking at them in the eye or be playful with your hair. Hah? So I was willing to know, here are the relevant tests (many because I want to be sure), as I don't want to be misunderstood no matter how slight is the possibility and I'm not exactly in the status that allow me to flirt anymore!
Touche! I emphasize many many times that I don't like being touched as common communications. See what this amazing little quiz does? ;p
Okay, as you see, I'm suck at flirting. It's good to know though. I'll be mermerized if the tests prove otherwise! ;p
Sometimes, when I'm in emotional ride, it frustates me to think that I'm just one of the billions who think with my heart and being controlled by my feelings. While I believe I can't really escape from being with my gender, I try, try, try very hard to control my emotions (because it's tiring being controlled by them) and I hope I'm getting better by days.
Well now, hairy business.
Along my live, I can count with my left hand how many times I change my hair style.
I've cut my hair boy short two times, and both times it's icking me and it grows back. Fast.
If I wonder how they come out with these detail analysis from only few questions, I won't get good answer. But as long as it floats my boat, it's fine.
Speaking of which, the hairstyle situation below is just as accurate! Ha ha..
I believe in first impression. It helps that I often get it right.
Although I tend to get the negative side first..
Some things you are certain about yourself, especially if many people told you so.
Well, it does say many times that I am a loner..
I am far from social butterfly or bee or monkey (why do they call it butterfly anyway?), I prefer to eat alone than eating with people I'm not connected well with. I prefer to spend Saturday night at home doing my own thing than going to cool party with 'cool' people I'm not connected well with.
For below, easy question: Who Doesn't?
Below: Hell Yes!
Want me to confess something? Put me in five inch heels and see what I'll tell you!
Okay..
Crazy, mad, weird, unique, enigmatic, I have heard them all..
Perhaps what confirm the fact is... I consider those as compliment...
Ha..
What makes my day?
Being told that I'm not one in dozen..
but 2% of the population! Woo Hoo!
If someone asks What is My Favorite Season, I'd say Fall.
For those monkeys who always say that except appearance, I don't belong to my gender, it's happy day for you! I'm more masculine, it says...But wait.. scroll to read what it has to say.. it doesn't mean I'm eunuch!
Well, depends on how you look at these things, I tried tons of them and it's fascinating that I agree with majority of it, even when the result said bad things about me.
Anyway, if these gives you fun, relax your mind, why not? By all means..!

So I was willing to know, here are the relevant tests (many because I want to be sure), as I don't want to be misunderstood no matter how slight is the possibility and I'm not exactly in the status that allow me to flirt anymore!
| Quiz: Are You A Physical Flirt? Your Physical Flirt Level: 10% |
 You aren't a physical flirt. If anything, you tend to be a bit cold, physically. There's a good chance that you don't enjoy touching people... or being touched. And while there's nothing wrong with how you are, you may be sending people the wrong message. So give a hug or pat on the back every now and then. Even if you aren't trying to flirt, it will make you seem friendlier. |
Touche! I emphasize many many times that I don't like being touched as common communications. See what this amazing little quiz does? ;p
| You Are Not a Flirt |
 Flirting doesn't come easily to you, and you can't stand anything to do with it. You just try to be as honest and real as possible. To flirt would be fake. While there's nothing wrong with being yourself, you might benefit from being a little more assertive. Approach someone you're interested in for a change. Try talking to someone you're into instead of only talking to those already into you! |
| You Are a Coy Flirt! |
 You're not so much a flirt as the type of girl who draws flirts in While you look like you're just relaxing, secretly you've got your game on A little look here, a little wink there... you give men the encouragement they crave And in return, they flirt up a storm with you - while you just sit and smile |
| You Are Not a Tease |
 You definitely know how to flirt, but you usually choose not to. You're not the type of girl who leads guys on - and men appreciate that. Your charms and sexiness are saved for the one guy you're into... And for that, he digs you even more! |
Okay, as you see, I'm suck at flirting. It's good to know though. I'll be mermerized if the tests prove otherwise! ;p
Sometimes, when I'm in emotional ride, it frustates me to think that I'm just one of the billions who think with my heart and being controlled by my feelings. While I believe I can't really escape from being with my gender, I try, try, try very hard to control my emotions (because it's tiring being controlled by them) and I hope I'm getting better by days.
| Quiz: Do You Follow Your Head or Your Heart? You Follow Your Head |
 You're rational, collected, and logical. Generally, it takes you quite a while to fall in love. In fact, you've even been accused of being very picky. While you're cool, you're not ice cold. You just know what you want, and don't mind waiting to get it. |
Well now, hairy business.
Along my live, I can count with my left hand how many times I change my hair style.
I've cut my hair boy short two times, and both times it's icking me and it grows back. Fast.
Quiz: What Length Hair Should You Have? You Should Have Super Long Hair |
 You are free spirited and carefree. You are a total wild child, and no one is going to tame you! Your hair tells people that you're an individual who doesn't care what other people think. You and your hair break all the rules. You are a mysterious type who has many secrets. You prefer to keep to yourself. There's a lot hiding behind that hair. Very few people truly understand what you are all about. |
If I wonder how they come out with these detail analysis from only few questions, I won't get good answer. But as long as it floats my boat, it's fine.
Speaking of which, the hairstyle situation below is just as accurate! Ha ha..
| You Are a Ponytail |
 You are energetic, laid back, and a lot of fun. You are ready for whatever life throws at you. Your idea of style is looking presentable. You prefer simple, well fitting, and neat clothes. At your best, you are productive, inspiring, and full of live. You love to be active. At your worst, you are hyperactive and frenzied. Sometimes it's hard for you to calm down. |
I believe in first impression. It helps that I often get it right.
Although I tend to get the negative side first..

I am far from social butterfly or bee or monkey (why do they call it butterfly anyway?), I prefer to eat alone than eating with people I'm not connected well with. I prefer to spend Saturday night at home doing my own thing than going to cool party with 'cool' people I'm not connected well with.

2010
I am not in the mood to workkkkkk!!!!!!!
Is it only me or is it happen to anyone in this holiday season? I hope it is, because it screws me out, kind of. I'm dreading the day of 2010 when all the works will come pouring to me.
For many reason this holiday season doesn't feel like holiday to me..
First, we are not anywhere else.
Second, almost everybody we usually hang out with or care about is not around.
These two reasons sum up everything. Well, actually, it's not that bad, it's probably just something unfamiliar after spending two-three year of Christmas somewhere else.
So, instead of feeling dull or lonely this Christmas, I have to count on my blessings.
What am I doing now? Browsing, updating my blogs and reading some craps from internet! Seems simple but it's not!
In my previous company we were so deprived from internet access that we could end up overshooting the usage, even for work, and we already restricted ourself! My work involved rendering, when I couldn't do anything else but to let the computer took time calculating and doing the work. It's boring, and torturing.
That was why I bought an ridiculous priced 'smart phone' so I could do things like writing, playing or browsing internet if I bother to look for MC.Donald. As the result, and because I'm happy with it, I'm still holding on to the phone for 5 years.
Today, some of the interfaces had gone unreadable, but it still working fine, although some days I'm not sure whether it's awake or in comma. I vow to make it through the year, and the year is ending.
So, some people just don't realize how nice it is to have technology and the cyber world in your finger tips.
The year of Indonesian free-fiscal..!
It's this year or last year? Can't recall. Anyway, all my cursing and swearing because of the paperwork proved nothing compared to my friend's visit.
Yah, I think it's ridiculous that we have to pay to go out of the country. Now that we don't have too, the flock of wanted and unwanted people may come and visit me.
Well, I am not very good in handling people whom I don't like, namely whom you hardly know but suddenly got friendly because they want free accomodation.
Luckily, it doesn't happen much yet, and it's not likely to happen again, because even if i want too, I don't have room to offer.
Okay...good things, I could meet my long time friends again when they came to visit just a week ago, and it was fun hanging out with them here, because most of the time I went back Jakarta we hardly met for more than 3 hours.
They always say, meeting you childhood/school/uni friends make you feel younger, and indeed.. remembering all the silliness we did when we were younger and the still attached silliness we have deep in our heart (well mine is still on the surface).
The new friends!
We don't really have a flock of friends here, but we have few close friends and imho, that is much much better than many2 common friends.
We also don't have fancy friends who would drag us to fancy Christmas or New Year parties but we have ordinary friends who are just like us. We had few casual dinner to celebrate end of year and I'm just being very grateful for it.
The most elaborate thing I did with them would be to watch Cirque on Ice on Christmas Eve, thanks to a new friend from a friend who gave me a free ticket.. hihihi..
The new relative!
Never realize that it would be cool to meet a long-lost relative.
He's hubby's cousin who has been staying away for all his life, he can't speak Indonesian at all. He is the same age with us. Hanging out with him for two days proven to be eye opening of how knowledgable and fun a relative can be. It's amazing that both cousins can click after hardly met each other all their life, and the one time they met before this, they only spoke sign languages.
So I guess, even when my Christmas is not spent with my family, or longing somewhere exotic or foreign country, there are blessings and love I have to be grateful for I am indeed very lucky.
Time to look ahead for the new year with new resolutions in mind.. in mind only, mind you, because then nobody can prove that I don't fulfill my resolution..!
But I'm seeing good lights in my 2010 resolutions, because it's very likely that I'll put 100% effort to fulfill it, and most importantly, I have resources like will and companions to do so..
Yay for a good year ahead!

Silent Afternoon
There are good days and there are crappy days in my year of 2009.
Is it a life changing year for me? Maybe, maybe not.
I hatched big dreams, but I'm still nowhere near.
I worked hard, but I'm still nowhere near.
I made good friends, casuals and few good friends, definately worth mentioning.
I had a two weeks eye-opening trip near my hometown, in remote islands of East Kalimantan, and spent two weeks living in basic and simple life. How I love it?
Yes, I love the simple life, I love that the biggest worries that they have is the rumour of scary encounter with something supernatural. Yah, I was in remote village, it was scary to be awake through the night after I heard the story. But I meant, if that is their biggest fear and worries, they don't know how lucky they are.
Windy afternoon, when there nothing to do, they just plunged to the sea, swimming, playing, enjoying the sun or rowing a wooden boat out to the wider hugs of the blue.
Or sleeping on the wooden deck overlooking the sky.
Yah, it's so nice and peaceful. I'd love to be able to do that.. but would I?
Maybe, maybe not. I think nature brings the best of me, and peaceful life is my goal.. However at this stage, I might not be wise enough to do so, I am still too attached, I am too complicated.
Sometimes I take thing easily, laugh them off and drop it to the sea.. Other times, I learn more that life is indeed sooo complicated that it exhausts me. Everyday, I'm learning new things, I'm experiencing new things and it never fails to surprise me how everything can happens. I even find surprises in myself, about what I am capable to feel or to do.
Ah well...
Perhaps this 2009, who comes and goes like lightning speed, had either been too kind or not too kind to me. (Or maybe because I feel melancholic now in rainy cold day with the nice but sad tinkling of Silent Night-David Lanz stuffing both my ears to conceal the sound of the world --> who says I'm not romantic, Rewind again).
I wish the coming year will be easier for everyone, more hopeful and more beautiful, less war, less misery, less hunger, less disseases, less sadness, less sorrow, more love, more wisdom, more simple and everyone got to fulfill what they want to fulfill, livelong dream or childhood desire or a simple nice hot chocolate for the souls. Hm.. the music really screws my mood.
And I wish that if 2012 really be the end of the world, I got to know about it. There are 1001 things I want to do before I die. I don't afraid of dying, I just hope that I got to do what I should do before that, doesn't everyone?
Oh crap.,
Merry Christmas!
Isn't one of my favorite Christmas song always relevant?
No more lives torn apart
the wars would never start
and time would heal all hearts
every man would have a friend
the right would always win
and love would never end...
what is this illusion called the innocence of youth?
maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth..

Love Actually
Almost every Christmas, this movie is shown in TV. I didn't give a glance about it at first; I thought it's another predictable chick-flick. In fact, it's been months or years the DVD just sat in one corner of my house without being touched, until one fine day, when every other option were wasted but watching abandoned DVD, then I newly found Love Actually.
What is love?
From my own pathetic way of trying to understand it;
Love is the most simple yet the most complicated human feeling.
It's indescribable, unexplainable, unpredictable and uncontrollable.
It's happiness, yet always co-exists with sorrow, sadness, fear and hurt.
To sum it all, it sucks.
But it might be difficult to live without it, for it's the meaning of life.
That makes it even more sucks, isn’t it?
That is why; I give the credit to Love Actually, to able to describe it best and right to the core.
Don’t think that I’m a nutcase rewinding the DVD to find these quotes, there is website with this kind of information. Although in fact, I remember them (not exact quote of course) because it’s memorable even when I only watch it one time.
To recall few of best definitions:
- A husband played by Liam Neelson (one of my favorite actors) is in mourning. He is heartbroken, especially when he thinks that his stepson can't go through his mother's death.
There come the conversations:
Daniel: So what's the problem, Sammy-o? Is it just Mum, or is it something else? Maybe... school - are you being bullied? Or is it something worse? Can you give me any clues at all?
Sam: You really want to know?
Daniel: I really want to know.
Sam: Even though you won't be able to do anything to help?
Daniel: Even if that's the case, yeah.
Sam: Okay. Well, the truth is... actually... I'm in love.
Daniel: Sorry?
Sam: I know I should be thinking about Mum all the time, and I am. But the truth is, I'm in love and I was before she died, and there's nothing I can do about it.
Daniel: [laughs] Aren't you a bit young to be in love?
Sam: No.
Daniel: Oh, well, okay... right. Well, I mean, I'm a little relieved.
Sam: Why?
Daniel: Well, because I thought it would be something worse.
Sam: [incredulous] Worse than the total agony of being in love?
Daniel: Oh. No, you're right. Yeah, total agony.
I love the boy character. He will grow up to be a fine gentleman who is wise beyond his year. Agony being in love? Hell yes. What is worse than that? Not many. Not much.
Many key words: agony, no one can do anything to help, nothing you can do about it, and you never are too young or too old to be in love. Wow.. wise kid huh, old soul.
[at his wife's funeral]
Daniel: Jo and I had uh, a lot of time to prepare for this moment. Some of her, uh, requests - for instance, that I should bring Claudia Schiffer as my date to the funeral - I was confident she expected me to ignore.
Keyword: pain of losing can be eased with humour?
Where are you from??? Nothing can ease the pain of losing. If humor does, it just covers it up with a little bit of patty that doesn’t sustain under the sun and rain. If someone jokes about his/her sadness, that is the sign that he/she has even greater sorrow that what they’ve shown.
Love is sadness and fear. (That makes it even more sucks).
Oh, and this is extra from the adorable dad and step-son.
[deleted scene; Daniel and Sam are discussing Sam's true love]
Daniel: Option One: ask her out.
Sam: Impossible.
Daniel: Fair enough. Option Two: become her friend.
Sam: She's the most popular girl in school and she hates boys.
Daniel: Okay. Option Three: kidnap her and keep her tied up in your room until she agrees to marry you.
Sam: It's a route I've considered.
Daniel: And quite rightly rejected on the grounds of...
Sam: Hygiene.
Keyword: Love can’t be forced. When it’s forced, it’s gross.
- A man falls in love with character played by Kiera Knightly. She is married to his best friend. He has been hiding it forever and does his best to avoid falling deeper but to no success. Forbidden love.
This is my favorite scene, the Christmas choir and it sums up painfully but perfectly touching.
(on sheet of poster board)
Mark: With any luck, by next year - I'll be going out with one of these girls.
(show pictures of beautiful supermodels)
Mark: But for now, let me say - Without hope or agenda - Just because it's Christmas - And at Christmas you tell the truth - To me, you are perfect - And my wasted heart will love you - Until you look like this.
(picture of a mummy)
Mark: Merry Christmas
Awwwww....
Keyword: Nothing you can do to control it, heart commands brain (That makes it even more sucks), and wasted heart, wasted heart, wasted heart, pain, sorrow and helplessness. (That makes it bloody sucks).
- When character played by Emma Thompson discovers that her husband played by Alan Rickman might have his heart for another woman.
Karen: Tell me, if you were in my position, what would you do?
Harry: What position is that?
Karen: Imagine your husband bought a gold necklace, and come Christmas gave it to somebody else...
Harry: Oh, Karen...
Karen: Would you wait around to find out...
Parent: Good night!
Karen: Night, night. Happy Christmas! [back to Harry]
Karen: Would you wait around to find out if it's just a necklace, or if it's sex and a necklace, or if, worst of all, it's a necklace and love? Would you stay, knowing life would always be a little bit worse? Or would you cut and run?
Harry: Oh, God. I am so in the wrong. The classic fool!
Karen: [voice breaking] Yes, but you've also made a fool out of me, and you've made the life I lead foolish, too!
Research says men consider his partner having sex with another person is the worst affair, set aside love.
Women consider her partner falling in love with another person is the worst affair, set aside sex.
I am a woman, men don’t really think properly. ;p
Keyword: Love commands life. It changes everything. It’s heavy, risky and often life-long investment that no one in Wall Street wants to bet their money on it.
Who, in their right mind, want to bet their life on something that doesn’t guarantee return, might collapse anytime while you are losing your own value with every second passing?
Love is worst investment, yet we are suckers (That makes it even more sucks).
And, love is happiness, fear and sadness.
- A quiet and reserved love, a character played by Laura Linney, who ‘secretly’ in love with her colleague, but dares not do anything about it.
When she finally had her chance, she has to let go, because of another love, for her sick brother who demands sacrifice and her whole attention.
Harry: Tell me, exactly, how long it is that you've been working here?
Sarah: Two years, seven months, three days and, I suppose, what... two hours?
Harry: And how long have you been in love with Karl, our enigmatic chief designer?
Sarah: Ahm, two years, seven months, three days and, I suppose, an hour and thirty minutes. Harry: I thought as much.
Sarah: Do you think everybody knows?
Harry: Yes.
Sarah: Do you think Karl knows?
Harry: Yes.
Sarah: Oh, that is... that is bad news.
Harry: Well I just thought maybe the time had come to do something about it.
Sarah: Like what?
Harry: Invite him out for a drink and then, after about twenty minutes, casually drop into the conversation the fact that you'd like to marry him and have lots of sex and babies.
Sarah: You know that?
Harry: Yes, and so does Karl. Think about it, for all our sakes. It's Christmas.
Sarah: Certainly. Excellent. Will do. Thanks, boss!
Keyword: Sacrifice. Agony. Understanding. Again, co-exists with sorrow, pain, sadness and hurt. Alamak.
- Lost in translation, a man played by Colin Firth falls in love with his maid, but none of them understand each other because they speak different languages.
[neither understands the other's language]
Jamie: [in English] It's my favorite time of day, driving you.
Aurelia: [in Portuguese] It's the saddest part of my day, leaving you.
Keyword: No barrier. No control. Tell you, the heart doesn’t care what the brain says.
But the amazing thing, it can also overcome barrier, if it’s strong enough. (Okay, that makes it less suck. But unfortunately, no many are that strong to conquer challenges, so, again, that makes it even more sucks).
- Again, differences, sizes, status. Not a really significant scene compared to the rest. But I love this dialog:
[talking about her ex-boyfriend]
Natalie: He says no one's gonna fancy a girl with thighs the size of big tree trunks. Not a nice guy, actually, in the end.
Prime Minister: Ah! You know, um, being Prime Minister, I could just have him murdered.
Natalie: Thank you, sir. I'll think about it.
Prime Minister: Do. The SAS are absolutely charming. Ruthless trained killers are just a phone call away.
That are many other scenes but this few had already done the movie justice.
So, that should give everyone a better idea about what this little thing called love.
Brilliant writing I suppose.
Shamelessly, I thing my definition can cover much of those areas.
Here it is again.. shamelessly..
Repeat after me!
Love is the most simple yet the most complicated human feeling.
It's indescribable, unexplainable, unpredictable and uncontrollable.
It's happiness, yet always co-exists with sorrow, sadness fear and hurt.
To sum it all, it sucks.
But it might be difficult to live without it, for it's the meaning of life.
That makes it even more sucks....

(on sheet of poster board)
Mark: With any luck, by next year - I'll be going out with one of these girls.
(show pictures of beautiful supermodels)
Mark: But for now, let me say - Without hope or agenda - Just because it's Christmas - And at Christmas you tell the truth - To me, you are perfect - And my wasted heart will love you - Until you look like this.
(picture of a mummy)
Mark: Merry Christmas
Awwwww....
Keyword: Nothing you can do to control it, heart commands brain (That makes it even more sucks), and wasted heart, wasted heart, wasted heart, pain, sorrow and helplessness. (That makes it bloody sucks).
- When character played by Emma Thompson discovers that her husband played by Alan Rickman might have his heart for another woman.
Karen: Tell me, if you were in my position, what would you do?
Harry: What position is that?
Karen: Imagine your husband bought a gold necklace, and come Christmas gave it to somebody else...
Harry: Oh, Karen...
Karen: Would you wait around to find out...
Parent: Good night!
Karen: Night, night. Happy Christmas! [back to Harry]
Karen: Would you wait around to find out if it's just a necklace, or if it's sex and a necklace, or if, worst of all, it's a necklace and love? Would you stay, knowing life would always be a little bit worse? Or would you cut and run?
Harry: Oh, God. I am so in the wrong. The classic fool!
Karen: [voice breaking] Yes, but you've also made a fool out of me, and you've made the life I lead foolish, too!
Research says men consider his partner having sex with another person is the worst affair, set aside love.
Women consider her partner falling in love with another person is the worst affair, set aside sex.
I am a woman, men don’t really think properly. ;p
Keyword: Love commands life. It changes everything. It’s heavy, risky and often life-long investment that no one in Wall Street wants to bet their money on it.
Who, in their right mind, want to bet their life on something that doesn’t guarantee return, might collapse anytime while you are losing your own value with every second passing?
Love is worst investment, yet we are suckers (That makes it even more sucks).
And, love is happiness, fear and sadness.
- A quiet and reserved love, a character played by Laura Linney, who ‘secretly’ in love with her colleague, but dares not do anything about it.
When she finally had her chance, she has to let go, because of another love, for her sick brother who demands sacrifice and her whole attention.
Harry: Tell me, exactly, how long it is that you've been working here?
Sarah: Two years, seven months, three days and, I suppose, what... two hours?
Harry: And how long have you been in love with Karl, our enigmatic chief designer?
Sarah: Ahm, two years, seven months, three days and, I suppose, an hour and thirty minutes. Harry: I thought as much.
Sarah: Do you think everybody knows?
Harry: Yes.
Sarah: Do you think Karl knows?
Harry: Yes.
Sarah: Oh, that is... that is bad news.
Harry: Well I just thought maybe the time had come to do something about it.
Sarah: Like what?
Harry: Invite him out for a drink and then, after about twenty minutes, casually drop into the conversation the fact that you'd like to marry him and have lots of sex and babies.
Sarah: You know that?
Harry: Yes, and so does Karl. Think about it, for all our sakes. It's Christmas.
Sarah: Certainly. Excellent. Will do. Thanks, boss!
Keyword: Sacrifice. Agony. Understanding. Again, co-exists with sorrow, pain, sadness and hurt. Alamak.
- Lost in translation, a man played by Colin Firth falls in love with his maid, but none of them understand each other because they speak different languages.
[neither understands the other's language]
Jamie: [in English] It's my favorite time of day, driving you.
Aurelia: [in Portuguese] It's the saddest part of my day, leaving you.
Keyword: No barrier. No control. Tell you, the heart doesn’t care what the brain says.
But the amazing thing, it can also overcome barrier, if it’s strong enough. (Okay, that makes it less suck. But unfortunately, no many are that strong to conquer challenges, so, again, that makes it even more sucks).
- Again, differences, sizes, status. Not a really significant scene compared to the rest. But I love this dialog:
[talking about her ex-boyfriend]
Natalie: He says no one's gonna fancy a girl with thighs the size of big tree trunks. Not a nice guy, actually, in the end.
Prime Minister: Ah! You know, um, being Prime Minister, I could just have him murdered.
Natalie: Thank you, sir. I'll think about it.
Prime Minister: Do. The SAS are absolutely charming. Ruthless trained killers are just a phone call away.
That are many other scenes but this few had already done the movie justice.
So, that should give everyone a better idea about what this little thing called love.
Brilliant writing I suppose.
Shamelessly, I thing my definition can cover much of those areas.
Here it is again.. shamelessly..
Repeat after me!
Love is the most simple yet the most complicated human feeling.
It's indescribable, unexplainable, unpredictable and uncontrollable.
It's happiness, yet always co-exists with sorrow, sadness fear and hurt.
To sum it all, it sucks.
But it might be difficult to live without it, for it's the meaning of life.
That makes it even more sucks....

UHU!
I am clumsy queen.
Even though in the free-cheap-unreliable quiz that I took said I have a balance left and right brain, I am not balanced.
I am not balanced. I tipped on flat floor, I knocked my head on visible things I could have avoided. I ended up with bleeding forehead at least on two occasions. If high heels are not good for health, for me it's life threatening.
I stuck my hand on Power Glue before. Yah, it's common, but what makes it not common, I stuck my teeth too. You know, when it's difficult to open a cap of something, what would you do..? Bite. That is what I would do. It might not be 100% clumsy, it might be 90% stupidity.
So my upper teeth and lower teeth were stuck together.
Just now I put a big tube of UHU glue on my table. If everyone close to me has come to understand that it's not safe for me to be around delicate-fragile-breakable products, no many people know that I shouldn't be near glue also. Yah, while doing something else, I accidentally (of course!) elbow the tube that the glue spilled out to the table and all over my elbow. Beside imbalance, I have thick skin, it took me awhile to realize the situation, threefore the 'all-over'.
The glue stuck to my drawing and my ruler. I saved my ruler and tried to wipe the glue with tissue, in continuity of the action, I wipe my elbow with tissue too. Again, 90% stupidity.
UHU + skin + tissue = what happen? A mess!
I had to spend 15 minutes washing off my elbow and peeling off the glue, not to mention the skins that went together with the glue. Ouch. And still, trying to restore my ruler, I scrambled the storeroom and foun 3M adhesive remover. What seemed like good idea now add 300% more damages to the ruler because instead of removing the UHU, it adds to the stickiness and ruler became opaque.
Luckily no one saw the incident, but when my colleague learned about it, he just stood there speechless or 'Anything new?' reaction.
Ha!

Gender!
Yah, it has been so long since I write without any purpose, ex.journal.
Reason being, I don't have time to idle in my work, not the kind of idleness that I can dedicate my thought to write something. At home, there are always something better to do, even if that means drop dead on the bed just to relax all the strain muscles and to be fair, fats.
I have bit and pieces of thought that I write in the bus, but it needs work to edit it also. Excuses..excuses...
Anyway, okay, to celebrate my third day being completely alone in office, I'll write something.
Yah, if you are aware about the chronological of my messy life, I've just gone to trip my three monkeys from my department. Afterwards, they are not working. Repeat, they are not working. Either going for another overseas trip, MC or courses. These three days I'm completely alone. Yah, it's quiet, but quite shiokkk (Sgp term for asyyyiiiik) that I can sit anyhow I want, or pick my nose or sing (without voice, my department is empty, not other department, I'm not ready to be shot with anasthetic bullet for elephant yet).
I had this offer since sometimes ago to go home with a colleague from different department. She drives, and stays just opposite my block. Long time ago, I declined because I didn't know her well, I would never want to trouble someone especially if I don't know them well. I'm painstakingly phai seh (uh oh..term for gak enakan ;p). She doesn't drive every day and there was one period of time she doesn't drive at all. Anyway, recently, she drives again and offers me to join her, together with other collagues. All those who stay nearby who happened to be inside the loop are all young girls. Well, they are younger than me, but they thought I'm their age.. ;p, until up to the time they can't figure out how come the whole time I am in Singapore I'm already working (I'm here for 8 years.. if they thought I'm their age, that means I come to singapore with high school certificate only..anyway..that gives way. Before they 're really confused, I told them how bloody old I am, I don't hide ages).
It also happens that they all belong to the category of more girly girls.
Last week, I agreed to accept this colleague's kindness and joined her car. It's nice to have friends outside department, as in more than work related. It's just that, I feel a bit like an alien and didn't know how to really fit into girly girl friends loop.
I couldn't really get all gigly and being nice to each other, and if you are aware, females are created as supportive. Regardless how screw up you are, some friends would offer you words of encouragement and actually tell you that you're/it's not that bad. Or be happy for what you do/achieve. Although behind might not be the same with in front, majority of 'normal' female won't tell you off on the face.
I'm not so normal in this, and I happen to be friends with other not so 'normal' females, so this is not a social skill that I have, also normal female tend to get so excited in something not so exciting just because they are being nice.
To sum it all, I felt awkward, maybe because I actually not very close to them. I enjoy conversations with them, as they are fun and friendly, but I can't help feeling that I don't really fit into their girl circle? Anyway, another invitation comes, although I have valid excuse, I can't say I'm not relieved.
Ah well, many friends like to joke that except physical appearance, I'm not really belong to my gender. I always take it as a joke, but after hearing it coming from four, five, six different guys who don't even know each other (hence no conspiracy here) should it got me worried?
Nah... at least some of them explain to me that it's because I'm fun to be with...
sort of "brother-brother"...
so it's okay..
right?
brother?
uh...
wait a minute... !
....
P.S: In order to get going, there is no grammar, typo, proofread or spellcheck etc...it's freshly typed here.
So don't blame me if it doesn't read well, I hope it's quite alright..
