Why do internet glitches always happen at the most crucial time?


I feel, 70 kind of sadness...

The Jakarta Adventure Journal

23-28 July 2010

Winnie came to Bandung after a painstaking 12-hour ride on Wednesday night.
I was a tad frustrated that she kept changing the time and all but I realise now that she has gone to so much more trouble to meet me and felt bad about being so moody.

We walked around the mall for a while before heading home to my place.
Taking photos on the balcony was so much fun. I never seen such ugly pictures of my face before but it was so candid and so much fun!! haha..

On Thursday we went around my house and then we went to Factory Outlet but didn't manage to buy anything. Then we went to Ciwalk and Sorcerer's Apprentice was showing so we watched that. We had an hour to kill before the movie so we went to karaoke. After the movie we went to PVJ for dinner and we had baked rice and SUSHIII (finally!).

TADAAAAAA..


Then we went to walk around anddd, my brother called, pissed me off and I cried in front of her. She's a very good comforter I guess. And I continued crying while driving home. I can't sleep and ate a lot of snacks at 4am. Then I fell asleep on the sofa arnd 5am and woke up at arnd 8 or 9. We went to BTC and took the travel to JAKARTA!!!

So the start of Jakarta adventure on Friday!
We reched Mangga Dua Square at around 2pm and we had to walk in the blistering hot sun to Mangga Dua ITC because there's where her aunt is picking us up. It was truly an experience we both will never forget. 2 girls walking on the dangerous road without pedestrian walk. Me carrying a backpack and she dragging a small suitcase, we look like tourists! We manage to reach ITC safe and sound though. =)
After going back to Winnie's place, we went out again and explore Grand Indonesia. I love that mall. haha, and we ate Burger King for dinner and it was great. It reminds me of the days we used to eat at McD after school in BHSS. Sweeet memories.. We had Red Mango for dessert.. Growing fond of frozen yoghurt now... Went back and I managed to sleep nicely..

Jakarta Day2, Saturday.
We went to Pantai Mutiara for lunch at Bakmi Sakaw. The place overlook the sea and a few yatchs, it was a great view! Then we went to Pluit Village and walked around. Then Joe came and we went to Pluit Junction for another hour of karaoke. After that we went to Pantai Indah Kapuk to eat Tekko!!! =D Super delicious. After dinner I DROVE Joe's Toyota Yaris which happen to be another manual car to Pantai Mutiara where Winnie's apartment is. ^_^ We tour the place and saw the view from her apartment. After that we went to Oceanic for drinks and that's where I drank Long Island Tea!!! Winnie's drink is even more scandalous --- Screaming Orgasm! That night I got in a bad mood because I felt ignored in the conversation all the way by her cousins. But it's actually just a sign of PMS. =p When we got back I throw a tantrum at her but she handled it very well and that's why I think she's one of the kindest person I ever met. =D
All's well and went back to normal. haha, no awkwardness like Bali at all.

Sunday!! We had Dimsum at Emporium's Imperial Kitchen with her Uncle's family. Then Felix came to fetch us and we went to Central Park to walk around. 3 of us went to Taman Anggrek to eat lunch at Pancious. Yummy!!





Nexttt we went to CHeesecake factory which I was very disappointed in. The cheesecake doesn't taste like cheesecake. =(
Went back and picked up by Joe and went to Kelapa Gading Piazza for wine tasting~ The prices were per bottle and 3 of us was like huh? Total clueless about wine. So we wanted to leave but met Winnie's cousin who happen to be there waiting for 2 of his friends. So her cousin opened a bottle and we 3 have a glass. It was a Germany White wine and I must say it taste nicer compared to the cheap red wine my dad have at home a long time ago.
We then have a late dinner at one of the roadside restaurant and the Soto SUCKS!!

Monday!! Matchmaking day for her and after that we went to Taman Anggrek to meet Edwina. We wanted to ice-skate but I was wearing dress. I told Winnie I'll be alright and I won't fall as long as I don't try to do anything funny. But I got bored and so I tried to speed up and during a turn I don't know somehow I fall, *BAMM* and according to her it was a very hard fall and people around were looking..
The first thing I asked her was "Did anyone stand behind me??" She told me nobody (phew..) and that I close my leg very fast. Ofcoz I did, it would be so embarrasing!!!! >_<
She was very concerned and I told her it's okay, just red here and there. (But actually it was very painful and I was just too embarrassed to say anything). After we skate and we were taking off our skates, I then realise my knee has a very huge bumb and it starts to get blue.. There were also scratches on my hand and legs with blood. Winnie was hysteric but then I asked her, "I know you want to take a picture right?" And she said yes! haha, so here is the picture..



After that we finally met Edwina and we had dinner at Pasta De Waraku. After that we went to a cafe named The Apartment for drinks again.
Edwina had "tiramisu"
Winnie had "Bellini"
and I had "Mojito"

After the alcohol my bumb doesn't throb!! Wow, it was a first experience of alcohol numbing a pain. That night I got a bit tipsy. I bumbed my head in the toilet hand dryer and in the car while getting in. Moreover, I actually took this picture and said it's not blur! hahaha.



I don't understand how I get tipsy, I am a good drinker I swear!! I can too hold my liquor. But that night, before we went to sleep we talk a while as per usual and Winnie said I was high and that they should feed me more alcohol next time.

Last DAY, TUESDAY!!! We went to Senen Jaya to visit Winnie's shop and after that back to ITC to walk around. She went for dinner with her Grandma at the same time my dad fetched me and off I was back home to Bandung.

I guess this trip can rival the one before as the highlight of my longggggg holiday..
I must say.. Jakarta ain't so bad with my dear BFF Winnie around =D Gonna miss her tons and loads but I won't be sad coz I know we're going to meet again and have twice the fun!! Minus my bad mood that is... As long as there's effort, halfway round the world doesn't seem so far! =D

Giving so much effort while making it seem effortless.
Maybe I'll succeed, maybe I'll fail.
But for whatever outcome, I want to know I've tried. =)

I miss Bali!! I wanna soak up the sun at the beach while playing with the sea water.
The crashing waves and the great food!
Bandung's the best place to live in and Bali's the best vacation away from home.
^_^

3-7 probably the best time I have.
Guess it's the highlight of this holiday.

Spent the day with dad today and missed my run! haha, but it's a total downpour so I cheer myself up by thinking the run's cancelled (impossible).
I actually like running in the rain more actually.
Washes all the stress and draining all the pain..
Nvm, I will not miss anymore run if I can help it now that I can drive myself practically ANYWHERE!!!!
=D

Drove to BSM today, weekend traffic's seriously pissing me.
But it's okay, it's worth it.
Coffee bean!!! Mocha Ice Blended, yummmmm, =).

Drove to Hans' on Friday and on my way home he accompanied me and I was driving and he was saying where's his handphone.
Then he said he forgot it at the table in his house and that the internet was on.
The battery will run out, he said.
We continue this convo for a while.
Then we stopped to buy petrol and he said : "What is this black thing in my palm? Oh it's the handphone!"
I laugh so hard I can't keep a straight face talking to the petrol assistant..
SO funny!!!!!!

Wanna watch Inception!!
Can't wait for Winnie to come on Tuesday! If nothing comes up that is!
She'll take my mind off and I really need it.
We're gonna have a blast, I am psycho-ing myself!! =D

It feels as if I'm wrong footed all the time.

When I'm being quiet, Why are you so quiet?
When I'm talkative, Why are you so noisy?
When I'm emo, Can't you be more positive?
When I'm happy, Why are you always so happy?

So I'm sad, depressed, and dejected.
Is this good enough for everyone?
I am not trying to please anyone.
I am trying to be the best of me so that maybe I can be a better person.
So I thought I've learnt from my mistakes and made it better.
But the truth is, I am still trapped inside the fear of rejection.
No matter how I tried, well, some thing can't be forced.
I know it, but accepting it is another matter altogether.

Unappreciated, I felt that way in this family at times.
Unwanted, that's how I feel in general sometimes.
But I put on my mask of smile and say: "I'm okayy!!"
=)

THE best medicine for my heart:

SWIM, MORE SWIM,
RUN MORE RUN,
PIANO, MORE PIANO..

And my mind is still not rid of these thoughts going round and round..
Timing couldn't be better,
just when I'm alright, I'm okay,
it had to happen just now?
Messes me up again just when I'm normal..
SO here we go again, the normal round of routine..

You couldn't care less and I care too damn much.
Can I disappear into a bottomless pit?
Instead of my frozen fingers that noone can warm, can't it be my heart that's made of ice?
Save all the trouble..
Enough heartaches for this lifetime!!! SERIOUSLY!!!! >_<
It will take all the luck in the world to counteract my vindiction.

Nursing my heart in this empty house.
It felt much more quiet after these few days.
The thin thread that's holding me together came undone and I'm helplessly searching for a consolation.
Lost appetite and sleep.
Back to saying the wrong things, doing the wrong things.
When I thought I can get over, I got crashed on and now I'm stranded.
Even though I'm tired, I can't seem to rest..

haihhhhhhh......
So much for being cheerful again.

Gah, so much for my July being different plan.
Still the same old pattern of slacking. hehe.
Anw my place is full, holiday feeling is in the air now..
I had an amazing swim yesterday with Ci Monik. =)
I mean I am getting slow, I didn't time my 60laps, which I think overshoot the usual 1 hr.
But the water so cool so clean. The ambience so quiet it's our own private pool.
Sitting in the whirlpool afterwards chatting. ahh, blissful evening.

Anw, planning STARS is a chore!!!
I hate it I hate it..
6july, better don't give me any crap that I don't get any core.
I'm alrd registering last. shucks.
