In the name of Christmas

Sat, 22 Dec 2007 07:11:22 GMT

I'm not supposed to be in office today. But when I checked my email this morning, there's an email from the Boss, asking me to make a revision for the Christmas Greeting Card our division will send to other divisions. So at 11 AM, I started getting ready for the work.

This Christmas Card idea was actually not mine but my coworker. She has been working on it but couldn't finish it because she took a paid leave starting yesterday. So I continued the work but it didn't turn out as she originally wanted. Mainly because the scripting error and application size problem. I expect she will complain to me when she returned next year. ^^;;;

Only three people (including me and <lj user="ivles"), are in the office today. Finished the revision on 1 PM and was about to go home when it rained cats and dogs, complete with howling wind and all. Today wasn't to be my holiday............

Japanese Language Proficiency Test, aka JLPT. I passed Level 3 last year and dared myself to do level 2 this year. I tried studying for it as I did for level 3, but 80% of the grammar might as well comes from outer space. @_@ So I have given up studying for it and just took the test to measure my Japanese. Suffice to say that I played with my buttons/pencils/etc to determine 90% of the answers. Level 3 and level 2 are like earth and heaven. If my mark is better than chibishun this year, I'll start believing that Lady Luck is fond of me.

As for work. I tried to talk face to face with the manager who offered me the new job but he was so busy that he was never at the office. Well it's not too irritating. What irritates me is a certain irresponsible someone! @#$#@%$#!@^$#@!@#% This committee is the worst committee I ever joined. The weak-spined committee leader and the irresponsible subcommittee head. So horrible. I have to admit that this is the first time I ever met such an irresponsible man. *too irritated to talk about the details*

It's getting near to Christmas. I guess I'll start making the cards and buying presents to be sent to my family and friends. *starts making list*

I got a strange dream where I came late for my exam, wearing flip-flops, shorts, pajamas. Then to make it worse, I got stomachache. The one kind which makes you commune with your toilet every other hour. I woke up tired and sleepy. As the result, I went over my exam with half mind pining for my comfy bed and half other shouting to write the answers.

I went home early, visited my beloved toilet, made an effort not to throw up, and confined myself to my bed, reading Banana Fish until the last volume. Of course the damn book ends up making my nose running and my eyes red. I should have known how Yoshida-sensei's prefers to end her story after reading her two other books. Silly me for hoping this time it will be different. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Me and ivles are having problem since the network division blocked LJ out of no where. So how I can access it? I used the URL my ex-boss once sent me. It's www.kproxy.com. It works as a connector from me to LJ *grins*

ivles also found a way to access the LJ. Well as long as hackers live, I think we will still manage to find our way to what we want. Hmmm... that reminds me.... we can use this to access mang** and ani** related *grins widely*

Better post this before something happen. But I will be MIA for a week since my parents decide to come on Saturday. Tonight, I'm going to watch Rush Hour 3 :)

Mon, 20 Aug 2007 09:10:43 GMT

It has been a long week what with me running here and there taking video of many events and attended meetings regarding those events. Suffice to say that I started working at 7 AM and finished at 9PM. I just sat my butt on my chair and already been called to another meeting.

Just when I thought I'm going to spend my weekend sleeping, my best friend called and said she has arrived at Jakarta. It was a suprise for me, she said. So I accompanied her going around the city and we watched Rat-a-to-ee (can't spell the France title). The movie is funny and much better than Surf's Up IMHO. I'm happy to go out with her but my body protested.

ivles has been staying at my place since last Tuesday and plant to stay until the end of the month. Unfortunately, the guard found out about her and reported her to my landlady. She only have until today to find a new boarding house (which she found, thank God). I envy her for being able to sleep from 5PM for three days straight and sleeping the whole Sunday off.

It seemed I haven't hibernated for a long time............. *eyes the nearest Sunday for possible hibernation*

Ah, one more thing that I forgot to mention on my previous post. I'm now looking forward to ASP/SM pairing! Those who knows that initials must have finished reading HP7. It will be wonderful to see ASP sorted into Slytherin and SM into Gryffindor. I can just imagine their fathers' reaction BWAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHA

Mon, 30 Jul 2007 05:44:49 GMT

I'm back!!! Board the airplane and arrived on the ground safe and sound. Thank you God! I spent the flight reading the final battle of Harry Potter 7. Some readers were disappointed but I think the final battle scene is brilliant. Harry is sooooooo cool there! Love how Harry kept saving Draco and Ron kept protesting along the way. The only downside is .................. SNAPPY!!!!!SNAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPPPPYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Anyho, my mom's spa has finished so I spent two days lazing in the tub, complete with aromatheraphy and the ever flowing water. Eat four times a day to satisfy my craving and enjoy my brand new room. Of course I also have to dodge my mom's and other relatives' attempts to talk about finding a bf.

It's a mistake to introduce chibishun to my mom. She always worried because I went out by myself and I often told her that I went out with chibishun. Since then, she kept asking me why I didn't go out with him, especially since we go to church and to the mall together. *big sweatdrops* My latest excuse : "He has got a special friend"

Mom : Oh so he has got a girlfriend?
Akuma : uhmm *coughs* yes (inwardly : boyfriend!)
Mom : so why didn't he go to the church with his girlfriend?
Akuma : urrrrmmmm......... *inspiration hits* his girlfriend is not catholic!
Mom : oh.....how about your ex-boss....
Akuma : my, look at the time! I have to go out with my friends, by mom! *flees*

Sorry for not being active recently. I wanted to finish my job so nothing will disturb me during my holiday. Going to go back hometown on Sunday for a week. I'll be accompanied by no one except for my lovely fresh HP7 novel. Hopefully it will be enough to distract me during the flight and keep my mind sane still (well not sane if I arrive at the end of HP 7........ that's for sure)

At the moment, I'm feeling anticipation mixed with dread (Anticipation for HP7 and dread for the flight). I'm not comfortable with these feelings >_<

I DON'T LIKE TO FLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

this is fun.....

Exam is on the wayyyyyyyyyy

Fri, 22 Jun 2007 10:46:48 GMT

As you can guess from the subject, I have been MIA because of a hell called "Final Examination". I just finished the Japanese History exam. Still have 3 subjects to go but Japanese History is the worst. It's hell, I tell you. How can the sensei expect us to write a whole page of 10pt sized text with single paragraph space for the answer of one question? One question that worths only 5 marks while another question with shorter answer got 10 mark worth. It's HELL!!!! I have no expectation for my mark in this subject *mourns*

Anyway, I found an amusing game/program as you can see from my new icon/avatar *grins* I finally found out where my "Kill me now" Snape icon came from. If you are interested in making your own avatar, go here. Gotta back to study now. Tomorrow morning I have Kanji exam @_@ Have to memorize 200 characters of Kanji.

Coworker A : please teach us how to use this camera
Akuma : sure, to enter the cassette, press the eject button. *shows how to do it*
Coworker A : oh yeah *turns to his friend* here bro, press this erect button to put the casette in
Coworker B : erect button? ...... isn't that supposed to be "eject" button?
Akuma : *shortcircuited from the word "eject" and "erect" said by two men*

A bit of nostalfic fun

Tue, 05 Jun 2007 10:39:44 GMT

Last night, chibishun came to my boarding house. He tried a PS2 yaoi game that he just burned. It worked just find and I have fun listening to some seiyuus' voice. Unfortunately, chibishun repeated all the words in the game with his voice. Those who have heard his singing would know my feeling XD XD XD. Just kidding, chibishun!!! *runs before being thwacked*

I once mentioned that I bought Superman Return game and totally destroyed Metropolis while trying to help it from meteor rain (read : the game's control sucks). chibishun tried to play it and resulted in the same situation as mine aka Metropolis destroyed. *snickers* Giving up on Superman, he played Mario Bros. It turned out that I bought an emulator CD to play Nitendo game on PS2. Guess what he played? Mario Bros the first edition. It was a nostalgic play. *sighs* Unfortunately none of us are capable of action game anymore. After killed for fifth time trying to climb the bean stalk, chibishun gave up and continued the game through normal route. He died trying to get over the Bowzer though. That's the end of it. I have a good laugh though I doubt I could go as far as he could. Knowing my gaming skill, I probably will game over on the stage 1-1 ^^;;;

He also brought the manga that neisaku ordered through him. It's ZE vol.3 by Yuki Shimizu. I haven't read the 1st and the 2nd but it was like Love Mode so it's a start of new story with another pairing. It's BEAUTIFUL. And the grammar is easy enough that I can understand 80% of the story. (Memorizing Kanji finally worths it). I read it until 1 AM in the morning.

And I forgot that I had an exam at 11 PM today. Tried to study for the exam but fell asleep again and again. After falling asleep the tenth times, I decided to just sleep. Just read about the exam material in a glance. The only one stuck in my head is the uke's name in ZE 3 *chants HIMI HIMI HIMI*

Thank God, I got all the answers for the exam though. Well, all but one. But 9 out of 10 without properly studying is not bad at all Xp Xp Xp Xp

Last Saturday was the most peaceful of my birthday ever, I think. No phone call in the middle of the night since my bro can't keep his eyes open long enough *snicker*. The weak signal also make it hard to contact me through the cheaper connection (don't blame me on this, blame the service provider :p)

Went to work and found out that the other coworkers (including the Boss) took the day off since it was a "pinch" day (a day where the previous and next day of it is holiday) *bigsweatdrops* I need to come since I has a lecture that day. So I was alone in the office last Saturday. Calls and SMS started coming in though.

Anyhoo, went to teach English at the church for poor people. I have a friend who also has the same birthday as mine there, so we pooled our money and bought the other teachers some donuts. In the evening, I was invited to another friend's bday party (she is having her birthday on 31st of May) Waited for chibishun to go there together and he was ..... uh one hour late since he needed to pick up another friend.

Went there by taxi and got carsickness since the driver had a terrible driving, ughhh... The restaurant was by the sea and I can smell the salty air (so not helping with my car sickness). Anyhoo, a few bites into the food, the light went out. Ate in the dark for a few minutes before it went up again.

From there, we went to Japanese karaoke (on my treat as it is my birthday too). Sing for three hours there with chibishun's songs being skipped several times due to him choosing too many songs already *poor him*. And since his friend has decided not coming with us, he was the only guy in our group *snickers*

Went home at half past midnight and fell straight to the bed. Sunday was filled with church in the morning, lunch with my high school's friends, and dinner with my uncle and his family. He gave me $30 for present and the dinner costs me $30.

Not a bad birthday IMHO :)

to take or not to take.........

I have planned to write a longgggg story about my employee recreation but the day I was about to do it. I got an email from Marketing Manager. The content is simple :

Do you want to be our TV Manager?

I did know there is a whisper of making TV station from the uni's company but to be actually offered the position.... I spend three days in confusion whether to take the job or not. While it will raise my position (and wage) it does have a lot of responsibilities and risks. Since this is a very brand new unit, I will have to make my team and determine my unit's works *big sweatdrops* (no need to say that if something go wrong, I'll be te black sheep....)

I have to start from scratch, looking for human resources and budgeting for equipments. Well to sum my confusion, it's the choice between "comfortable" and "challenge". If I don't want to change , I can just stay like I am at the moment. But if I want to go higher... this is my chance.....

I'm still alive.....

Wed, 16 May 2007 09:10:14 GMT

Well, still buried beneath office works and college loads. I'm starting to feel bored with the second college life, mainly because I can't hold my eyes open during Japanese History class. The lecturer is so boring.

Little bit of amusement in my busy life :

Got into the lift and the person in front of you was wearing a T-shirt with text on his back. The text read "Thousands of my children died on your daughter's face last night" ......... am I reading what I am reading here?

Was exiting the office into foodcourt when a male students decided to kiss another MALE student (on the cheek, unfortunately) with wet kissing sound. The female students were cheering on them. My eyes turned wide as the other student decided the first student needed a payback and chase him and... kissed him back. What I wouldn't give to be able to squeal like a yaoi fan I am. Unfortunately, I have coworkers walking with me..........

Was writing a label for a casette that I used to record an event. I wanted to write "Public Lecture" but I miss one letter "L" while writing it. ..... guess with letter "L" that I missed?

All university employees are going to have a recreation to Anyer Beach for two days come Friday. You will think that I get to have fun and swim on the beautiful beach, won't you? Of course, I'm not that lucky. Got chosen as one of the documentation team. That means I have to carry the camera around and shoot the other happy employees.

Do I have the courage to bring $2000worth-camera into the sea to ride banana boat?..... we'll see when I am back from the "recreation"...............

innocent or....

Fri, 20 Apr 2007 07:53:47 GMT

We are having Kanji (aka the impossible strokes of Japanese Characters)and we have to memorize the shape and the meaning. The workbook we have is in English. My friend, not to good in English, sent me a message like this :

"Akuma, what is the meaning of 'come out', 'put out', and 'get off'?"

I received the message in the morning and may it's the lack of sleep but for a few seconds all I can think is that 'OMG, she wants to write some yaoi p*rn fic!'

Granted that the respective for the meaning above is 出る、出します、降ります, just everyday Kanji to go out, take out, and get off the vehicle but the three words combines woke my mind from 10% coffee coffee please to 200% yaoi yaoi yaoi!

and thanks to her, there's no way I'm going to get those Kanji wrong anymore. *grins* I think I'll get A for this subject *whistles happily*

Now, can I write a fic about Duo asking those "innocent" meaning to Heero? hmmmmmm ...........

Wed, 18 Apr 2007 04:37:27 GMT

Finally! After two lonnnnnnnggg weeks, I manage to beat and kick the annoying cold into the kingdom come. I got my voice back!!!

My parents have come and returned home this morning. You will think I'll get to rest but no, I still have midterm test to suffer through. It started yesterday and will continue until next week. *moans miserably*

Anyway, I have been wanting to write down a one-sided conversation I heard when I was in a taxi. It... tickled me *smirks*
Taxi driver : *picks up his mobile phone and punches some numbers* Hey, do you want to go out tonight?
Taxi driver : yeah, I'm driving the taxi at the moment.
Taxi driver : It will take me an hour to pick you up
Taxi driver : So where do you want to? Do you want to go around the city?
The taxi driver continued with similar phrases before disconnecting, laughing and joking with the other end of the phone. What tickled me is that he used a certain title in my language to call his friend and the title definitely told me the gender of his friend. Yes, my friend, it's a male friend he was talking to. Do you think he will ask his father/brother to go around the city? Don't think so.... Doesn't it tickle you to know you are driven by a gay driver? *snickers* Let me live in my fantasy please.

virus is baaaaaaadddd

Sat, 07 Apr 2007 06:46:46 GMT

I'm down for a week because of the flu which worsened into coughing due to moving twice and accompanying my friend who came to Jakarta for shopping. Lost my voice for a few days. Porridge is my food for several days. Now my voice is back but a little rough. Some of my friends said that it was sexy *sweatdrops*

Anyway so far no more little insect trying to get into my room. That's a relief! Now I just have to find some down time to get over my flu completely. *looks at her work schedule* I have work this sunday~!??? Gyahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh And then my parents will come on Tuesday???!!!

So much for resting...............

Ongoing war?

Thu, 29 Mar 2007 08:19:24 GMT

Last evening, I went home and opened my bedroom cautiously, afraid of countering another small insects. I found none and with cheerful stride, I tidy up my bedroom. Then I went to take a bath. A minute into the bath, I noticed a BIG cockroach in one corner of the bathroom. I have one insect pray placed next to my soap tray so ..... *inserts the battle between Akuma and the cockroach here*

When can I be free of those insects???!!!!!

Can't resist...

The landlady of my old boarding house just showed her true colors when my friend and I moved to the new boarding house. We paid the rent to stay at the old house until 20th of March but then on 20th of March's morning, one of the boarding housemates called my friend and said that the landlady wanted to break into our room because she wanted to paint the room. Imagine my reaction. I didn't get any call/notice from her at all about this painting work and she wanted to break in jsut because we haven't given her the key to our room. Legally, we still have the right to stay until 20th of March midnight but the landlady was so.....

So my friend and I had to ask permission from work and went to the boarding house in lunch hour to settle the problem. We told the landlady that we still have the right to stay in those rooms until midnight. And if she wanted to paint them, can't she tell us first or even wait for a day? Do you know what her answer? She said that the painter had to go away on 21st morning so she wanted to get the work done today. She knew that we came home late around 9-10 PM so she wanted to break in. We argued with her then when I was talking, she turned her back on me and retreated into her bedroom. muttering something about she was wrong but the painter wanted to go home. I was left speechless at her front door.

Don't even get me start of Air Conditioner. My friend and I both bought AC for our room. My friend sold hers to another housemate for $100. Mine haven't got any buyer so I decided to just pull it out from my old bedroom and sent it home for my parents. On the day I plan to pull it out, the landlady asked me how much for the AC. I told her $90 (mine is older than my friend). Long story short, she bargained for $70 but I refused. She finally agreed for my price. And what do you know, she told all the members of the house that she bought my AC for $70, including the housemate who bought my friend's AC. It's a good thing that we got it clear up fast but that landlady.... crazy? jealous? bitchy?

I'm so glad I'm not living there anymore

At the new boarding house, I chose a room near the garden. My bedroom's door is only a meter away from the garden. It's beautiful and cool but it appears that it has a downside.

On my first day there, I found two worms (...not exactly worms, let say it's somekind of brown caterpillar. We called it thousand feet worm here) in my bedroom, one is alive and one is dead.
I quickly sprayed my room with insect killer spray.

The second day, I found three more *insert Akuma's girlish scream* I poured cockroach killer chalk around my door.

The third day, I found one more, dead right under the door with its head inside my room and its tail outside the room. What a stubborn worm......

The fourth day, nothing happened. Good, I think. But....

The fifth day, I found a dying cockroach and a dead worm. GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. I finally inserted thick cardboard piece under my door so only amoeba could sneak pass the door.

What do you know, the next day, I found another worm dead just a centimeter from the door. Its body was bent unnaturally. I think it forced itself to get pass the cardboard. *rolls eyes* You have to admire its persistence.

I really hope there will be no more insects experience tomorrow.......

Long update

Thu, 22 Mar 2007 09:19:39 GMT

Finally! I can rest my ass in my chair for longer than an hour.....

First, Happy Belated Birthday to toranookami!!! I'm really sorry that I missed your birthday, Lady Tora. *hugs*

Went to hometown and was welcomed by earthquake on my third day there. It has 6.1 Richter in scale and the source was very near to my town. Thank God, my family and friends are okay. The ones injured were in people in next town. God rest their souls.

Next day, I woke up with the television showing Garuda airplane burst into flame. Way a good method to increase my fear of flight.....

I planned to spend my holiday enjoying my new house but it turned out I have to move my own stuff from the warehouse to my new bedroom. I have to arrange the stuff by myself and let me tell you that moving 14 boxes of books (each about 10kg or so) were back breaking work. Not to mention that my room is on the second floor. Let's just say that I slept like a baby every night there.

Back in Jakarta, my friend and I moved to a new boarding house. I started packing and moving stuff again. Combined with my friend's stuff, we had to move 2 fridges, 1 bed, 2 mattresses,2 wardrobes, and 40 boxes. I lost 2 kg because of this double moving.

After three days of moving back and forth between the old and new boarding house. I still have my air conditioner left at the old house though. It was supposed to be removed last Tuesday but the worker skipped off work *grumbles* I have to call another company to work on it. Let's hope this new company won't let me down. There are some problems with the old boarding house but that's another story. Will tell you later. Now I have to finish my work and homeworks....

holiday!

I have taken a week leave from job and my study. I will go back to my hometown tomorrow morning to attend my cousin's wedding. Since it's more a village than a town, I don't expect to be able to connect to the net. *sighs* not to mention, I have to move my stuff to the new renovated house before my cousin's wedding is due. I'll see you all next week!

*prays for her flight journey*
