Friday
Jakarta made me stuck in a heavy traffic jam for more than an hour! I arrived by 7.40 pm at Staco to have my choir practice, and I brought yummy Egg Rolls for everyone. Everybody liked it! Hahaha, I guess they wanted more... I'll bring it again another time...
Well, we were practicing for Christmas eve service and two Sunday services. Ga tau kenapa, tapi aku ngerasa pikiran dia ngga fokus deh... Dia seharusnya bisa nge-lead dengan lebih baik, much much better (bisa baaanget!), tapi banyak hal-hal detail yang menurutku perlu malah diabaikan begitu aja. I guess we're missing Gigi to guide us somehow... Hmm... what happened, brother? I wish I can lift you up. I really do not like it when people talked behind your back or said things about your lackness (not that people kept talked negative about you). *sigh*
Anyway... latihan malam ini kurang maksimal sih...
Saturday
I didn't do anything much on the morning, except that I washed all my dirty clothes:D After that, me and Dina went to MKG to shop Accent & some groceries. Fiuh, Dina really confused in picking the right item to used her IDR 100,000 voucher. Well, we spent almost like an hour there, before I finally picked out a black fitted comfy long pants and a feminin two-ply black dress to be used on Christmas (I never wash new dress that I just bought from a store, if it is taken from the storeroom). We decided to head back home at 3, and cleaned ourselves before we headed to church. Hey, it's Christmas eve, guys!
We arrived at IES on 5.15pm, and I rushed in to the platform coz I saw some other choir members had already stood and singing Christmas carol. I saw him wearing brown suit (wow!) and just being cool (...or cold?) as usual.
Cool guys do arouse me (psst.. that's my lil' secret)
That evening... I wouldn't say that we sang our best. We kinda sucked actually. Sad, but I feel like that. Hmm, I hope he didn't feel bad about it... But, he was a bit... odd... u know, sang songs we didn't practice before, and made us a bit confused. Hmm, aku rasa pikirannya sedang terpecah. But, did he notice me? I was wearing a casual skirt that evening... Hehehe... What am I thinking... Of course he didn't! Or did he? Did he? :p
Sedih ngga sih... memperhatikan orang yang kamu bahkan ngga tau dia memperhatikan kamu juga ngga... Di film Sabrina, ada kata-kata papa Sabrina yang bilang gini,
"What? Will he miss someone he didn't even know exist?!" (Uh, dalem banget tuh...)
Well, actually he does notice me. But as a 24-year-old-youngster... I guess... *rooling eyes*
Ok, I spoke too much. This is dangerous. By gone. That nite we got a rainbow flash light as souvenir (well, maybe coz IES is in a tall building, they avoid of using candle).
Sunday
Merry Christmas! Feliz Navidad! May all the joy and happiness with you...
We served in both services and we noticed that church was pretty slack that day. Maybe coz half of our congregation are expats and foreigners yaa... So they'd prefer to have a White Christmas with their families and friends. Including sis G in Seattle. Missed her already.
Hari itu Dina jadi greeter lagi, bareng Betty. Yenny ngga dateng, probably ngga mau involved lagi karena udah mau balik Surabaya. Gonna miss her Garfield face, too... :p Since there were not many YAF members available, I helped as a greeter on the second service. I also helped delivering the welcome package to the new comer. Well, one tragedy occured: my shoe string broken off... Ouch! I texted Dinny to borrow a shoe replacement since I can't stand with barenaked feet on the platform.
Hmm, u know what... after the service I came to him, and greeted him personally... Also to tell him that I won't be in Jakarta until next week. He nodded and smile. Dina said his face is like a bear -lol-... Hehehe... well, I wouldn't mind to keep a bear like him ^o^
Yah, setelah itu aku makan siang ama Dinny, Gege, Ewink, Hendro, dan temen SMP-nya Dinny... rrr, aku lupa namanya... Tommy? :p (Maap). Aku mesti beli sepatu supaya sepatu Dinny bisa dibawa pulang lagi. She needed for her job. I ended up buying a cute pair of shoes (Keds), warna biru muda, kembaran ama Dina. Hehehe. Tete kakina kecil sekali... 35,5 boow!
Malem itu pulang dalam kondisi yang tidak fit, kaki capek banget, dan masih harus beres-beres barang yang ternyata banyaaaaak banget. Fiuh, I stayed up until 3 am in the morning.
Monday- Moving to another place
Akhirnya... setelah setahun tinggal di Pulo Asem Timur itu, berdua dengan Dina (Dina di lt. 2, aku di lt. 1). Banyak kejadian lucu sih kalo diinget-inget hebohnya pindahan hari itu... :D Thx a lot to Hendro, Ewink, and Yudi that voluntarily helped us moved everything. Yudi bahkan bolos dari kantor:p Hehehe, I really appreciate it guys. Barang-barang kita gila sih, banyaak banget... padahal tu kamar ngga gede-gede amat juga, kan berkurang spacenya karena ada kamar mandi dalam. Hmmm...
Jadi ceritanya jam 8.30 am bangun, trus mandi-mandi, menemukan Dina tergeletak di atas dengan barang-barangnya ready to be moved juga :D Gila ya, te... Kalo diinget-inget kita udah ngapain aja di kamar seukuran loteng utuh itu... hahaha; ate Lays while watching TV and DVDs, talking 'till veeeery late, ate Lays again (lho, practically we just ate a lot of Lays BBQ yaahh... lol). Such a recommended product:p Anyways, jam 11 lebih dikit the guys mulai berdatangan; Ndroe, dateng bareng Yudi. Trus menyusul Ewink yang nemeni Dina ngambil mobil di kantor. Thx to Patty who has kindly lend us her car (muah!) We begun to moved things, first from Dina's room to mine. We have so many cardboard! Ckckck, sampe di kos baru kita ketemu ibu kos dan minta kunci. Kamarku dan Dina sebelahan persis di pojok lantai 2. Lumayan sih, mine is a bit bigger but more gloomy (coz the curtain and the wall is pinky...-_____-). We stuffed the cardboard to each room, and instantly felt hungry :D Then five of us planning to go to Carefour, until toto lembeng Yudi refused to come along simply becoz he hadn't took a bathe... But if... if that time me and Dina knew that it was the time to take shower, we would've.
Setelah itu walking around di ITC Cempaka Mas, dengan satu tujuan: Ke Carefour, trus beli kasurnya Hendro, along with our other household supplies like hangers, bucket, mop, etc. Fiuh, moving is hard! I don't wanna move again if it's not essential! -_____- I felt my legs were about to falling off my body... So darn tired. Mainly coz I cannot stand stand too long. We headed back and returned the car to Patty. While Dina was still looked at some tasks in the office, I was cleaning my bathroom with a lot of effort. I bought a shower head to replace the old one that was existed. I thought replacing that head was easy,... well, it was, until the slang was detached from the head and left me holding the head itself... hmmm... I fixed it, and attached the head back on the slang; it worked! I felt proud and continued spraying every corner of the bathroom to get rid of the spiderwebs and some tiny insects, ... until... I felt strong water pressure RIGHT IN FRONT OF MA BODY! Oh nooo! Now, it was the slang that detached from the wall... Arrghhh! I rushingly reached for the faucet while pressing the hole to block the water:D Fiuh!! Hahaha, I was about to laugh while doing it... I guess the shower is pretty old, I managed to fix it 'till now, but if the same problem occured again, I would instantly ask for a replacementlah.
Almost 00.00 on Dec 27, ma 24th birthday. You know what I did? I was mopping the floor... -____- and realised that kain pel itu luntur. Arrghh, tanganku biru semua... Ya gini ini kalo ngga pernah ngerjain apa-apa sendiri... Hiks... Akhirnya aku ke kamar mandi trus ngga sengaja nendang bungkus So Klin Lantai; isinya tumpah lumayan banyak... Aduh. Aku buka kran buat ngambil air dengan putus asa... Lebih putus asa lagi pas tau kalau... KRANNYA NGGA NYALA! Doh, shoot me in da head, pls! Ck, udah mau misuh-misuh... ternyata air dimatiin tiap jam 23.00. Akhirnya aku turun ke lantai 1 dan mendapati wastafel bawah masih bisa keluar air, aku cepet-cepet cuci tangan. Trus bilang Dina kalau air mati. Ternyata Dina udah tau! (aduh, ya itu bedanya kami; aku hampir selalu pass information on, sedangkan dia... kalo ngga ditanya bah gimanapun ngga mungkin bilang apalagi woro-woro, eventhough it's prob important for someone else. Beberapa kali kejadian kayak gitu, aku tergopoh-gopoh dateng ke dia nyampein info... trus dianya membalas dengan wajah santai bin datar, "Iya, memang'e..." Aku: "..........................................") Akhirnya aku bilangin juga kalau kran di bawah masih bisa nyala... Dina and I went downstairs, trus Dina cuci muka pake sabun, trus... airnya habis. Dengan muka masih penuh sabun gitu, ouchhh... bete ngga sehh. Akhirnya malem itu kita ngga mandi at all! Dengan badan masih penuh keringat en bekas bersih-bersih, terpaksa tidur. I changed shirt and wiped my fave with wet facial tissue. Sprei hari itu ngga diganti, saking ngga mau ngotorin...
Ya gitu deh, hari kepindahan yang cukup heboh ^o^ Sekarang sih udah rapi *happy* dan aku pulang ke Surabaya tanpa beban ninggalin kardus-kardus berserakan di kamar. At least now I feel like really living independently, and no need to bring my clothes whenever I want to take a shower... (hehehe, psssttt).
May God bless the nu rooms where me and Dina live in now.
