The very so uncool demonstration
I know I know the oil price will go up in no time. I don't say it won't affect me 'cos it will...but I mean come on, no need to do a big demonstration. We cannot always blame the government, can we? It's not their fault this time around. All over the world suffer what we suffer. The oil prices have gone up everywhere, that is including here in Indonesia. But how come only here that people start protesting, shouting the unfairness and so on? Based on what I read from detik.com, they also voiced their protest over some law that according to these people need to be abolished. I wonder if they do understand what they are demonstrating all about or what they are protesting against. I do believe they do not even know what's going on. They just follow the others without even knowing what they really want or what they are pursuing. How can they protest something that really has no solution? I do think they are wasting their times and efforts. How many of them did skip from works and schools to gather all the masses for demonstration today? I really do not understand what's in their minds.
I am not against any demonstration as long as it is done in a good way and appropriately and they do know why they are doing what they are doing. I lectured my employees about the disadvantages of demonstration. I told 'em, there's no use of you joining the line-up and you already knew what the result would be. The price will still increase, no matter how hard or how sincere you are protesting the government. They cannot hear people's voices when these people do not even understand why all the prices will go up.
I am hoping the demonstration will go peacefully. So far, today, it's gone that way...I am betting there will be another demonstration by tomorrow and will be bigger than today.

Tuesday lunch and some pictures from previous weeks
Fanny was searching a present for her boyfriend's dad. How sweet :) and I met my mom and my aunt there. I left the earliest as ya know...duty duty duty duty, how I hate it but gotta be responsible 'cos it is very well needed as I am not a young teen anymore :)
Back to my office, I started flipping the newspapers. It seems that the price of the BBM will go up in no time. I know the oil prices have gone up but it's kinda bad for Indonesia to have the BBM's prices increase. Everything's gonna be expensive now. Some of my employees have already complained. Also, I heard that there will be a big demonstration on the 1 of October by the people due to the price increase on BBM.
After office hour, I saw so many people lining up @ petrol station. They are desperately trying to buy petrol before the price swollen by Saturday...
Arriving home, after having my shower, my sis informed me that we're not going to the b'day dinner of our friend 'cos nobody picked us up. Kinda alright with me 'cos I didn't feel that good yesterday as I was just recovering from my headache but ya know, sometime it's a bit sad isn't it when you are trying to organize a birthday bash and not so many people turn up in the end? That's how I feel...at least I knew around 5 people couldn't make it yesterday...feeling a bit bad 'cos I don't want all of this happen to me in the future :(
Anyway I am posting some pictures from the previous week...



P.S: My goodness...I had had a weird dream last night >.<

Monday illness
And Liding got an idea to do make-over...only Wewe did a gothic make up on me hehehehe...After hours and hours I spent being remake by Liding...here's the result...not that bad except my face was too white!



Sunday Doughnuts Rampage
An hour later I had had my massage and I fell asleep again (Oh how lazy I was! hehehehe)...Around 3pm, I got inspired to do something girly that was baking some cakes! My sis got the idea of making doughnuts...so there we were, busy making doughnuts for the rest of the afternoon.
Kinda satisfied with the result and they tasted quite good hehehehe (ok giving a compliment to oneself won't destroy the entire oneself...if you got what I meant).
Asking Singgih what he had in his mind for the rest of the evening. He said he was about to catch this movie "Red Eye" with Liong etc...so I offered myself to join him (desperate situation as spending the entire Sunday @ home has never been a good idea for me) plus I heard the movie was good so ya know what happened next...I was @ TP, having dinner, watched the movie and went home...ohhhh we gave away our doughnuts to Singgih hehehe and he said it was good :) ---> *wink wink wink* a compliment from someone....




Saturday Fever
Pretty much, we didn't do anything special. As always I was late (sorry,pardon my job), I promised to be ready by 7 but I was 30 min late :p...Reaching TP, we went for "gift hunting" for Dennis. We got him a cap (I guess it was Billabong) and on our way for dinner, we met our unexpected cousin :) We had dinner @ Bentoya (ok the food was not as delicious as it was).
Meeting Phem phem after dinner...we continued our 'fattening journey' @ Starbucks...I didn't order anything 'cos I was dead full. Later on that night, we spent the night away @ Coffee Bean...I shared something in common with Phem2x hehehehehe...went home just before midnight...

Thursday and Friday
Thursday....
Then I picked Wewe up...for last 2 days of shopping spree (alright, this word shopping has been in my dictionary lately, am I a shopping geek or a shopping freak?). We went to Mango and I love this lacy black top! So S-E-X-Y and yet classy! Wewe said it's nice (or did she say it was alright? I can hardly remember) but I gotta wear it just like that and no.... (oppssss). I was thinking about getting it but then I remember I have a similar top in red and I haven't even worn it yet. So Wewe said, "Wear the red top first then buy this one after." At least that saved some amount of money :P
Next stop, cosmetic parlour hihihi...tried the Guerlain bubble blush, was nice but there were only 4 colors to choose from. Pink, coral, red and pearly glitter white. I have so many blushes in pink and coral. The red one was a bit too red (Wewe tried the red and I tried the pink). The pearly white was more into adding a bit glitter on your cheeks...I was still eyeing for 'Terracotta Kohl Aqua Blue" eyeliner and I couldn't hardly wait for another month or so :( I smsed my dad and asking his help if he could search it for me @ Taka and well he did! *Jumping around*....I wanted it in "Terracotta Kohl Maroon" but my dad informed me, there was no more stocks on both Aqua and Maroon :( --> that's the bad news...wait wait there's the good news --> They came up in new 3 different colors! Black, Brown and Blue... Excited as I was, I texted my dad to get me the blue one!

From Guerlain, we moved to Dior. Alright, I got distracted by their new eyeshadow in purple-pink. The dark purple with glitter on it was really hype! The manager invited me to do the make-over with their make-up artist named Phillip. He is the make-up artist of Agnes Monica and other actresses. I didn't want to as I wasn't even certain about getting their product (I just saw it on magazine and thought it was really cool). She forced me to try it on even though I already gave her million reasons of why I didn't want to try it (some excuses like "Oh I never look good in pink --> It's true! or "I think I only like the dark purple one!" hehehe). Anyway, ya know being me, finally me and Wewe sat down in their counter desk and there ya go, I let Phillip did the magic. First try, it was bad! (I looked like the chinese opera singer with the pink eyeshadow!). Then Phillip applied the green one, was not that good either but it was better than the previous (a bit like greenish creature!). Finally, Phillip said, "Kamu cuma cocok kalo dandan ala smoky eyes, yang lain gak bagus!" So he started to slap some dark-toned make up on me and yeah it looked much much better and it's so me! :) Wewe, too, got the chance to do the make-over, hers was in green and white ;)
Back to my office around 6pm and that's the first time in this month that I went home empty handed. Feeling glad a bit, saving some amount of money has always been good :P
Friday
So my last day of freedom *wink wink*..spent the day going to expedition and to Supermall with Wewe, Lita and Fanny. We burned out our butts until 5.30pm @ Dome! huahuhauhua We discussed about my dog (oh Spanky I miss ya!) and Lita's dog (being the same breed as Spanky) and about cosmetics! (ok I am beginning to think that I am quite capable of becoming a make-up promoter! hihihi). I promoted the new gold powder by YSL to Lita (did the promotion to Fanny and she went hunting for it until Jakarta! crazyyyyyyyyy), the new touche blush by YSL, Bobbi Brown's best seller that is the eyeliner, the Kohl eyeliner by Guerlain, the lipstick by Guerlain, the coral lipbalm-blush by Bobbi Brown and the limited edition of eyeshadow and blush by Bobbi. Oh plus the blush by Paul & Joe (one of my fav brand so far)...the only one thing I forgot to promote was the lip-gloss by YSL...huahuahua if Lita bought any one of them, either YSL, Paul & Joe, Guerlain or Bobbi needs to give me some free products or something like it hohoho...
In between the brunch, mom called, told me to check out the new blouse @ Piano. She said it's similar to the one that I wanted but the ribbons were in green instead of black. Went there for a while and yeah you know me, I bought it! hehehe it was so classy and nice. Nearly forgotten to pay my dad's credit card...phewwwwww...
Back to the office by 6.30 and I finished up work @ 7.30pm...took shower and went out with En and two sistas...went to have mie @ Tidar and Es Kacang Ijo again hehehe...and En, being the zany one, took us to Mayjend to get Terang Bulan! I was dead full when I reached home. Oh I forgot to mention I met a freak over there! Darn it...how I disliked of meeting him and he asked me if En was my boyfriend..I just smiled @ him and ya know, I think he did think En was my boyfriend...better he thought that way so he could stay away from me next time I met him again (I hope not!).
In between of all those two days, I have to say I have been annoyed by some guys. Alright, I know they were trying to be friended with me but I hate it when these people are trying to dig any information on me as deep as they could! I meant respect my privacy a bit, can ya? I don't like it if they wanna know where I work or where my office is...that's none of their damn business. Yesterday I shouted a bit to one of them 'cos he wanted to find out where my office was. I said "Gak perlu...ngapain mau tau?" sorry for being a bit rude but who do you think you are???? Then later on last night, when I was still talking on the phone, another guy smsed me asking what I was doing, I said I was on the phone...he said how long would I be on the phone 'cos he, too, wanted to talk to me...ok this guy also annoys me now and then (Hours before he called me asking what time I would be back, as if I scheduled what time I would reach home). I said, "Kamu ada hal penting yang dibicarakan tah?" He replied back saying I was avoiding him and he demanded to know what's going on. I explained that the phone call was from overseas that's why I asked him if he wanted to discuss some important matters. Then he said sorry and starting asking about my friend...ok this guy obviously didn't get it...when you're on the phone, the least you wanna do is dividing the concentration between talking on the phone and texting on your mobile. The very last sms I sent him was very short and I guess he got what I meant..."I am bloody busy!"
I guess I need to write a book on "How to make freaks stay away from you in a minute..." Ohhhh I am being so mean now but I cannot help it...sorry :( I think I had had enough...I am here for a month and a half and yet I feel really annoyed. This is bad. I want normal friends and good friends...I make some good friends (I am blessed with my new friends!) and yet I met some freaks..poor me :(
P.S. : I want this foundation...

Es Kacang Ijo was good :)
Hihihihi finally after a year and a half of fasting 'es kacang ijo', I went to have one last night. Hell it was good (slurpppp). I didn't care how fattening it was (well now I do after seeing my tummy getting bulkier and bulkier oppps) and trying so hard to reduce my intakes :0
I chatted with my best friend last night too. She believed that I was just smitten which come to think of it, perhaps she was right. I have been asking my close friends about it, they all voiced the same opinion,especially Stew who understands me better than I understand myself. (he always tell me a virgo can always read another virgo's mind and the fact that we share the same birthday). I might back off a bit now. Mr.E oppossed the idea of me and him. He really said it's never been a good idea and that I shall not be with him, in any conditions and reasons. The real question is can I move on? or can I not?

So many thing happened in a day
In the morning, my friend shared a happy news with me that she's getting married to her prince :> CONGRATS! that's what I said first thing in the morning ---> that's after I struggled to take a look who called me early in the morning, private/unknown no, I knew it was oversea's phone call, pressed the answered button...there was a silent cursed though as I just closed my eyes around 5 in the morning. Sleepy and tired, that's how I describe my condition that morning...I went back to sleep.
Around mid-morning, my mobile kept ringing again and again. BLOODY HELL..that's what I uttered. I stole a glance and saw my friend's number. I know I promised him dim-sum but seriously my head was spinning around and I didn't have the enegry to get up from my bed + that's the only day that I could sleep until later hours.
Just reaching the afternoon, my sis turned my door knob and my door was still locked. I could hear the turning sound but decided to ignore until she knocked at my door. I opened the door and ran back to my bed and slept. She informed me that our friend had waited for so long...he rang again, I told him I would be awaken soon and took shower and my sis informed him we would be ready by 2.
Finally we had had lunch? (Was it lunch? cos it was around 4). We wanted to have it @ Ambrosia but it was closed for a wedding dinner or somethin'. We did a bit touring around Graha (hehehehe) and the decision maker said we would have our late lunch @ Pro.
Half way into the conversation (whilst waiting for the food to be served, we chit-chat), receiving 2 smses, containing the same information. My friend's dad had passed away. That's very shocking. I just met her and she didn't say anything about her dad being ill or anything. I rang my friend, informing her and she told me she was about to leave for Jakarta the next day so kinda impossible to 'melayat'. Next I called up Mr.D, asking if he wanted to go there with me, he said yes. Thankfully at least I have someone to accompany me. Meeting my old friends sometime feels a bit uncomfy especially I haven't talked to them for a while --> not that I don't like being their friends, ya know sometime it feels weird after for a while we've never met and suddenly we tried to put a bit of 'basa-basi'...you know what I mean, right? I need at least a friend who is closed to me to be there with me in case that the situation becomes a bit cold and stiff.
Around late afternoon, we went home. I fell ill. I didn't feel good at all. Headache headache headache urggghhhhhhh....I never had had serious headache before, not until I suffered from vertigo. From that on, I keep having this severe headache again and again...it feels like my head is about to blow apart 'cos something is pulling the back of my head! I slept and woke up early at night. Felt so exhausted and starving! Thanks to En who delivered McD around 1 in the morning hehehehe..oh Yuki was so jealous!
I guess life has never end, has it? I discussed about it with a friend 2 weeks ago, I said "Do you know that whenever we say that it is, this is the end, and actually it never ends? After we end something, we will start with something new? Like schooling, when we are about to complete our college, we said ohhh finally schooling has come to an end but do we realise that afterwards we have to start something new? That it is working or whatever?"....
C'est La Vie
Let me prepare myself for my new target...someone whom I just wanna have fun with :p --> that is an evil grin...ok paranoid! --> kidding, no more fooling around ;) Just sign off, sign off, here there is a guest, unexpected one....likewise last night (yeah I met him, the most unwanted person in my life currently and yet the most unforgetable person in my life..yeah he left a big and ugly scar in my heart which never heals and made me dying to die so that I needed not to see the next sunrise! --> that's how he got to be called A**hole..ok enough the unnecessary ranting...let bygone be bygone...putting a satisfied look that the girl he's with now errrr rather not so good...*jumping and celebrating* at least now I know he didn't leave me because I wasn't good enough for him but he left me for someone worst than I am *clapping with joy* now I can put a big grin on my face and laugh about it, dork!)...afterall the twilight zone exists and do expect the unexpected...ok I am contradicting myself...this is getting creepier.
How was?
