its all the gloomy weather's fault.
i got up reasonably late, had a not-too-much-not-to-little breakky/lunch, just enough to last me through the 10km hike. and most importantly, i managed to avoid a single puff. changed to my trackies&jumper and drove off to this place which is usually, (on a normal friday) 30 minsdrive from my house. but the fact that its long weekend, heaps of jakarta ppl come to bandung for holiday, traffic jam everywhere. and 30 mins easily turned to one hour.

anyway, then when i met my grandpa there, he goes
"lets cancel for today. its raining quite heavily, im still gonna walk. but strongly suggest that you dont. we'll walk again on tuesday instead?"

so now, i am back at my parents office, in sportsgear and thongs, hair tied up, list goes on. but nvm, usually on fridays, not many young suppliers/guests arrive at the office.

happy china new year to everyone btw (before i forget).
and so how was my CNY?
well the night before i had dinner at my grandparents which was good to see some old familiar faces. relatives that i havent seen for years. many "omg. youve grown so much", or "hey, your dimple is still there" or even "when you were little you love singing, come sing us a song". those questions or remarks that left me with nothing to say except give them a nod and a forced smile. anyway, then we played like some random games, which got everyone involved. anyway, the funniest thing was that, my grandma wrapped all the presents, and like obv she got them all. so then it was like a doorprize kinda thing. everyone got a present of course. and grandma must be short of a couple and she didnt have time to buy some more. so unlucky father, he got this photoframe thing and it had a couples name on them with like lovehearts all over it. HAHA. THE PHOTOFRAME WAS FROM SOMEONES WEDDING GIFT. LIKE YOU KNOW WHNE YOU GO TO A WEDDING AND THEY GIVE YOU A WEDDING SOUVENIER!!

and the next day we went to my grandparents again, cos it was the chinese new year actual day. and ang pao! there were only three aunties/uncle though. and so total i got four red packets (incl. grandparents). i opened them in the on the way back home, and all the four packets contain 200thou rupiah exactly. thats like less than 30 bucks aus each. and my mom forgot to gimme in the morning, so then in the car she said "remind me to give you angpao once we get home". and i said"no, dont need". awwwww, HIGH is a changed person. fine fine, frankly speaking, i really really really want a mac book air for my birthday thats why. its around 20mil rupiah here, which is like 2800aus ish.

shit. my birthday is like in five weeks exactly.
5 weeks till i am eighteen.
what should i do for my remaning 5 weeks being young&seventeen?

also, ive decided to become a full veg every tuesdays&fridays.
and that is definite. i mean, it is posted and you guys can be my witness.
so my reason being is that, i feel that i have to give back something to God especially for being with me always the whole London trip. you know there, i dare to sleep in the house by myself and there was not a single night i had nightmare!

damn. i just realized that 14 of march falls on friday.
nvm. the more i sacrifice, the better it is:)
an expresso shot can hopefully last me throughout the evening, depending on the crowd i meet.

i woke up today at 7 am feeling extremely miserable.
my legs are aching, in fact my whole body is.
and why is that?

yest at exactly 1350hours, i followed my granddad for his usual tuesdays&fridays walk. so i thought it was a walk until one of his buddy asked me; "kamu udah pernah lintas alam?"

kamu = you
udah = have
pernah = been
lintas = cross
alam = nature

so then it hint me that it wasnt just ordinary walks, it was freaking through the jungle, basically hiking. i cant believe that i actually did it. 10km and we were back to the beginning point by 1610hours ish. i never knew that my granddad was so strong, he could do it so easily without complaining, and like he only finished a tiny bottle of water but for me, he had to stop at every single "warung" [ts like a tiny tiny tiny shopsin the kampung] and got me a new bottle of water cos by then i would have finished the previous one. mann, i was exhausted. and btw hes 70++. then i came home feeling extremely exhasuted, and guess what i realized? in the morning, i was on the treadmill and it was accounted for 3km. so yesterday i did 13kms of jogging/walking. and also, remember that hiking through the jungle is like as if youre on the treadmill with like 4875094850934incline.

and my plan for today is [its 5 to 12 noon now]
-right after this im gonna sleep, i woke up at7am again today.
-and before that, im gonna treat myself with like 30mins of "everyoneworthknowing"
[i know me too, never once in my life i thought i will ever use the word 'treat' to associate with novels]
why 30 mins? cause im up to the finishing part. frankly speaking im actually really sad that its gonna be over its like a superuber good novel.
-then im gonna be awake by 2 ish, wash my face, put on shorts and shirt,
-then i will have my 3km/100cal treadmill.
and NO, i am not getting out of it today, why?
chinese new year dinner/gathering at my grandparents.
-then go to the salon. im just gonna cut a tiny bit of my hair, cos they said you have to throw away all the bad luck from last year, and im gonna have a fringe cut too. hopefully my fringe is long enough for a decent straight bangs.
-then go home and change and head off to grandparents.

and also i just asked the maid to buy credit for my phone. the last time i bought it was on monday, sunday the day i arrived from london. i used it to sms like 5 people to tell them my new indo no, and then called syaz for like 20 mins and 100rp worth of credit went down the drain. and i bought itonly today mainly cos, the only was to follow icemints trick was to not have credit on mah phone. haha! so, my dear icemint [the guru] three days is an appropriate break right?

also, yulyn i did tried to call you this morning but you hung up on me you bitch.
everyone lounged casually around the loft drinking bottles of Diet Coke and Fiji water

today; actually its past 12.
so yesterday, is my last full day in oxford.
woke up early in the morning, did some shopping at tkmaxx for grandparents;
they sell like good branded for like 1/10th of the price, i got my grandma a lizcalibourne wallet, (eventhough the brand is not tt good, but the packing n everything seemed exp) for like 20 pounds and like dkny make up pouch for 10pounds. what a bargain!
they had like good true religion jeans but nahh, too lazy its like mountains of clothes.

then went to bicester again, to get more souveniers!
this time, i got my brother 5 things, as in FIVE SIGNIFICANT things. i got him couple of energie jeans for like 30 pounds each, and like jumpers jacketsss. usually im not that nice, BUT its only a months away-ish to my birthday:)

flight leaves at 11 am but im leaving the house at 7am. the house and im starting to miss the city already. i havent been here for very long, but the one month was really significant. definitely an eye opener. and to tell you the truth, not only because now ive seen lots of new places and met new people, but it was also good for the soul. sounds so corny, but really it was. i feel so like refresh! and like, my housemate/relative. we've been seeing each other for a whole month every single day:( its very sad to leave your daily habits for the pas month, but obv its not as extreme as in perth. ini cuma sebulan dibanding lima taon gtu lho...

btw, if you're feeling bored, or like down please nudge me on msn/sms me. i found out this thing on the net, and man i was literally laughing, rolling on the bed! its the hillarious-EST (i know its not the proper english, chill icemint:):), it seems to make a bigger imopact with the est) thing!! as for yulyn; since you know me so well and by now (thanks to the past msn chats), you probably know where to find the joke, keyphrase; its on the net.

im gonna try to call cristal or eepyn in spore when i reach for transit tmrww, since its freeeeee. and syaz, im so sorry i was trying clothes just now. will definitely call you back in indooo!

oh and btw, the day before yest, someone msged me. so then, i decided this time ill use icemint's trick. like how she have the reply in like 43890845043hours time rule.
im happy happy happy. not even the cold england weather can make me downnn

so anyway im so extremely happy now.
no words can express how joyful i am.
no apparent reason.

fine maybe its because of the drinks or whatever ( i swear im 100% sober), but im really happy. i am satisfied with mostly everything. i just talked to steph and man, we have some pretty good instinct&telepathy going on. i swear i havent meet up with her for like 3 yrs, but we totally click. (except of course that she have turned a lil bit white; she asked me if she needs to make a visa for hkg). fine, i was like that too, but thats because im dumb. but anyway, its not only her, i know you guys get bored of this; but seriously i just love love love everyone, esp you babies. liek everythings seems so fineee. i know that im not gonna see you guys as often, but i know for sure we'll keep in touch. its like everytime i talked to tide; its as crazy as it gets. full on typing when each others typing, full on weird things about everything that came up in our mind (things that people go like wth. whats wrong with these people). and like icemint; man baby. you rock my world. (its so cliche to say "rock my world"), but really she does. everytime i hear loud rnb or housemusic in my mind, i see icemint in that blue dress. killer high heels. 0.00001% sober, playing pool, and quarreling with bouncers. acting tough at first, and when he mentioned police, we ran away. and paris; in the morning we can be the bitchiest bitches talking about everything, at night we're too blinded by love. crying over stupid reasons, then when everythings fine, we laugh at our sorrows (and of course, that includes my public speeches, hah!). and catprincess; always up for a sweet night escape! always up for cocktails and man i give you the award for "#1 im gonna eat that cute lil candy in the candy box award" (you get what i mean honey). and teacups; omg. the easiest to influence person. not in a bad way though. and also, our crazy msn talks about guys and how we think that blah blha blah is blah blah blah, better for future. hahaaaa. and hoe; at first you think shes a goody two shoes. but man, when i say coke you say hoe! the most unappreciative of art ever. cant believe you chose to read a bloody damn boring english novel on the first art lesson. and michy; one in a million i dont know where the hell she is, you havent give me the address yet! and mooo; everytime we're in the library shes always studying, hard for her not to concentrate even when everyones around. BUT when i say something along the lines of "omg.. isnt this what she wore? its so cute, i want it so much what brand is it?" and points to magazine, she'll get totally distracted! (btw, just to save myself! nah seriously i mean it; the above is not in orderr or anything yeah!)

mann, lifes so fine. and no one. no one (aliciakeys tune) can replace youu babies, stampped&chopped!
