Refunds and Exchange

2012-02-08T12:29:00.001+04:00

On DSF recently i splurged my money in the mall. For you who reside outside Dubai, DSF is a yearly sale event every mid-January until early February. All stores in the malls are giving discounts. It is very good if you had a dream bag or shoes on last season which very expensive, on this DSF you might find them on sale. Malls are packed up of people, and to wait in the fitting rooms and taxi-queue will make you go crazy. People who could not save money wisely like me, better stay out from the mall.

Anyway, i got this high-waisted pants from Zara. The color is blue and the size is S. I went to the fitting room and found up around 50 ladies on the queue. So i decided not to try that pants out and started queue for the cashier. Then the next day, i tried this pants at home and was veryyy lose. Ohmy, i thought i took S already, but i still need XS!!!

So yesterday went back to the store, and asked the guy wether i could exchange it or not. It is fine as long i got the receipt. It was an easy process. But was hard to find my size. I managed to find the same pants with different color on XS.

Do not think that m skinny or whatever haha.. In Asia i would find my size on M or even L!

Lately m kinda freak of my crack nail polish..

It is February already and i have not write any single post. Forgive me my blog.

Since January was a busy month for me, i hope this month i could laid back and enjoy my time. Hmmm it sounds too much to ask!

I did spend my new year's eve working these three consecutive year! So my next year resolution is not to celebrate NYE at work again.. And also birthday..

It is February already and i have not finish reading any book.. Is winter makes me so lazy?

The weather had failed me to go run in the morning as well.

Aaah that's all my rant.

Enjoy February

Visiting Indonesia?

2011-11-30T01:19:00.001+04:00

We were going to have breakfast in Tim Horton's this morning after running our errands in Indonesian Consulate. I needed to renew my passport and Oski wanted to apply visa for his friend. But we ended up eating chilli con carne fries in Chilli's.
One thing i found out this morning it was not that easy to get visa to Indonesia for some nationalities. If you have plan to apply visa to Indonesia, make sure you gathered all information needed directly from the local consulate, do not just browse on the net!

I am renewing my passport and i paid only dhs25!!!!!!!!!!!!! How cheap!! Even the 48 pages will only cost you dhs100. No need even to bribe the officer, it will be ready within six days.

In case you need to renew your passport in Indonesian Consulate in Dubai..

Do not forget to bring with you:
-your original passport
-KTP/SIM or just take down the number, will be needed to fill it on the application form
-cash 25dhs for 24 pages and 100dhs for 100 pages
-4pcs coloured passport size photographs

P.S: try to get there early because they only accept the submission before 11:00 Hrs.

P.P.S: do not go there after a night shift duty, you will be fainted! Hahaha

P.P.P.S: i am still craving to have breakfast in Tim Horton's..

Omg, it happens to me again!! People are judging me superficially through my facebook pictures. I have just checked each pix i have posted there..i found nothing special. Just foods and some pix at work. What exactly did they see in those pix?! I just dont get them..

Well then, i hope they will read this post. If you could not bear with pix on my facebook, stop stalking me or simply remove me from your friends list. So you could stop fucking tell everyone how i live my life through the pix that u see.

Sadly these people are related to me. They are just thinking that i am a mole in the family. Oh, now i am very sad. How come someone having blood-relation talks bad about you. Even stranger treat me better. Thank God i am a thousands miles apart. So, next time i come home, do not expect me to come and say hi.

I do really need scoop of icecream or bar of chocolate now...

Deteriorating my mother tongue

2011-11-23T08:55:00.001+04:00

Bahasa as my first language now i found it difficult. To write grammarily perfect, i can not. Even to speak it fluently. Not that i use to English, but really this official language of my country make me nuts. I could not even write a complete sentence!

Ok, let's give a try:

Kebiasaan ngemeng pake bahasa slang dan bahasa banci kali yaaa.. Makanya susah pake Bahasa Indonesia yang baik dan benar.
Apalagi waktu kuli dulu. Kalo ngemeng, campur aduk berbagai bahasa: dari Rusia sampe Sunda!

Seee what i have wrote... See how many mistake i have made! Those sentences not constructed in a correct way.

How would i teach my son and daughter Bahasa Indonesia when i dont even speak it fluently. *halaaaaah mikir kejauhan, cr bapaknye dulu aj kaleeee

What's blur and what's not

2011-11-22T00:23:00.001+04:00

Just crazy for my quick lomo apps on my iPhone..

Have a great week, everyone!

Kegalauan Perempuan Single

2011-11-20T01:48:00.001+04:00

Malam Minggu.
Biasanya orang pada jalan-jalan. Pacaran. Dugem. Saya kerja. Oh what a life?!
Akhir-akhir ini lebih mikirin diri sendiri. Udah tua. Udah mulai disuruh-suruh kawin. Sedangkan pacaran aja ga jelas mau dibawa kemana. Setiap kali punya hubungan serius, saya ga berani menaruh harapan yang banyak. Karena saya tahu semua bakal berakhir sama aja. Ujung-ujungnya saya sakit hati and end up trying so hard to fall in love with a different person again. Trus sekarang ngapain dong?! Ya ga tau, dibilang buang-buang waktu ya iya, karena tau ga bakalan pernah bisa berhasil. Dibilang ga buang-buang waktu ya ga, karena ya paling ga ad seseorang yang bisa di marahin kalo lagi PMS.
Trus maunya apa? Ga tau deyh. Saya ga begitu ambisius lagi soal semuanya. Ya relatioship, karir, nothing is interested me anymore. I want to find my new happiness, somewhere, someday with saya ga tau siapa. Mungkin jodoh saya jauh di Planet of the Flowers. Mungkin ini bukan karir yang saya mau. Mungkin suatu saat, bukan sekarang bukan disini. Life is full of possibilities, aite?!

I'm feeling sexy and free, like glitter raining down on me.. -Domino, Jessie J

I have been thinking about to have a jogging habit lately so i started a morning stroll today.. Was a nice weather this morning.. Windy yet sunny..

I failed yesterday on my road test. She said i was too slow, oh well, if i speed up she will fail me anyway..i have told you its a monkey business.

Steamy brought lots of tasty homemade dishes. Brown bread (love this one!), cookies, and the lamb meat tastes so sweet mirip-mirip semur gitu.. The meat is very tender coz its slow-cooked. I wish i could have ability to bake some cookie, but how would i do that even my mom never teach me how to cook rice.

Anyway, i almost finish the Host... I can't believe myself i could read two books in 2 weeks!! I want to read more, write more, travel more, achieve more, watch more, eat more, well yeah to early for new year's resolution.

Rock my world into the sunlight
Make this dream the best i've ever known
Dirty dancing in the moonlight
Take me down just like i'm domino
Every second is a highlight
When we touched don't ever let me go
-Domino, Jessie J

Nocturnal Life

2011-11-16T05:12:00.001+04:00

Ok, now experiencing jungle shift. Making my day as my night and vice versa. A nocturnal life in a very cold place in Arrival-Terminal 3. Its not a very healthy life, but oh well do i have options?! It means i am working with different supervisors. Not a lot, only 4 of them. Most of them are great, but one of them is very bitchy. Oh, i am not blaming her, she came from another department before she is bossing around here. Ok ok, i will stop bitching about her as well. Hhmm where was i?! Ok work thingy, unfortunately in my work place there is no such standard in doing things. Oh well, i am not asking about the international standard when i was working for that famous chain hotel. I mean, everyone should do the same procedure based on SOP. Yeah there is SOP in the sharepoint website, practically i feel like i am working in the jungle. Anyway, why i filled up my mind with this kind of thing?! Even i have been thinking of this since the day i started the training. Who cares anyway. No one cares about it, why should i?!

Oh my blog!

2011-11-15T04:22:00.001+04:00

I haven't see you in a while! I am blaming twitter for easiest way to express my thoughts! But 160 characters wont fits my random thoughts about life...hahahaha that's why thanks to Blogger on iPhone apps, i can blog through my mobile now.

I am having PMS. Oh well, it is hard to control everything when i am having this hormonal problem. Plus i am phisically weak nowadays. Making my day as my night is not a healthy life anyway. So i am wishing upon a star to get a full body massage back home and eat a bowl of tongseng after! Hehehe

I can't wait to see Steamy. He will be back in two days. Owh it was just 2 weeks but like a year. I think this month is our anniversary, mmm i am having absent-minded!

2011 almost over.. How time flies, even sometimes i feel like stuck in this maze for hundred years.. Anyway i am thanking God for whatever happens with me. I feel blessed. Alhamdulillah.

Another Ied in Dubai

2011-11-06T05:44:00.001+04:00

This is the 4th ied al adha away from my homecountry and my beloved family. Could not shed anymore tears because i got use to it already. Like always, m always working on the ied. Unlike in Indonesia they are having days off, here yes, for offices. But for us, para babu, working on shift means 24hours 7days a week and 365 days a year.
Anyway, I really miss the food. Wish i could be in Indonesia to celebrate this holy occassion instead of handling EK413.
Ied mubarak everyone!

Selamat Ulang Taun, Mama!!

2011-11-04T23:14:00.001+04:00

Huuiihhh kenyang skale.. Abis dculik anak2 makan d Chinese Sea. Padahal td lg enak2 tidur eyh dibangunan.. Kalo kenyang begini, i dont feel like to work laah.. Pengennya tidur lagi, tapi saya punya majikan yang sangat kejam.. Apa daya membabu lah saya.
For anyone of you yang masih berpikir idup saya enak, coba d bersiin dulu otaknya. Saya mulai kerja jam 10 malam dan selesai jam 10 pagi. Sementara orang laen enak2an pada maw pergi dugem ataw pergi tidur. Anyway buat orang2 yg pikirannya pada ngeres tentang gw, ya coba d sapu dulu. Saya hanya ingin Anda mengerti. Bahwa dunia itu bukan hanya di Indonesia saja. Yang abis kuliah-kerja-kawin-bikin anak. Life is more than that laaah..
HAPPY birthday to my beloved mommy!! I miss you loads, mom! Enjoy your tine in KL!

Superficial

2011-11-03T17:30:00.001+04:00

Owh how i really miss my blog *bersiin debu.. Me sorry its been long time ignoring you.
Okay, what week!! Start from my work life.. They have pulled me out from the main shift and move me to jungle shift. Jungle shift means no more four days off and only nights!! 10pm-10am and midnight to 9am with one day and two days off!!! Surprise surprise i don't hate the shift i just feel being downgraded! Coz jungle shift means no coordinator
work. I started to love the rush, the pressure, and the job itself but now here i am, just let the scheduling god play his role for me.
Love life? Not too complicated this week. He is now on leave, so i guess i am going to misa him like always!
I am almost getting my driving license.. Ohh what a crap thing to do those classes but lemme just be passion until Nov 17, and insya Allah i'll get that license!
And another superficial thing again, people judging you by facebook! Oh gimme a break! You don't post pix in facebook if you eats some pasta and noodle at home, right? And these people they are judging me by seeing my facebook. Its like i am having lots of money and nice life here in Dubai. They never see that i am. Working my arse off waking up 2 in the morning and go to work while they are havin nice sleep. And living and working here in Dubai its not worth the money. I see my family just once in a year, twice of im lucky. I am working when everybody else are sleeping. Food is not good as in my homecountry. Weather is so cruel, 50degrees when its summer. No housemaid, so i have to cook and do the housechores myself. People who judge me from facebook does not have any friggin idea how i live my life. So, just don't see those pix from facebook and judge people okay! People just don't post pix when they're eating Indomie!

Be patience, Rani.. It's Ramadhan!

2011-08-18T09:45:00.000+04:00

I am wondering why this office smeels like feet today..

i am sure these feet are not stinks!

Hell nooooooo..
The ugly bald ~~stupid~~ guy in the corner took off his shoes and socks and lay down his legs on the other chair! No wonder office smells like salted fish lahhhhhh...

10 GUYS I HATE TODAY

2011-08-10T16:50:00.000+04:00

1. a rude guy ~~asking~~ blaming me why the pda /tetra/hht is not working

2. a guy asked his porter to get batteries in the office, and he came and asking ~~blaming~~ me why those batteries gave to the porter are not working

3. a guy that called and saying: arrival arrival arrival arrival, ten times non stop

4. a guy that told me is not okay to have someone did update in UFIS and take the credit of it *oh shooot if there is no credit, only mistake, now who should be blame for it?

5. I left a bunch of guys talking in their language, later they called me why I wasn’t there to get the handover

6. a guy asked me which id is the flight allocated

7. a guy told me these batteries are not charged, Rani! and throw the batteries on the slot rudely

8. a guy that asked me for a comment regarding end of world

9. a guy that ~~talks~~ shout and yell loudly over the phone

10. A GUY WHO HAS YELLED AT ME BECAUSE THE LOADERS DIDN’T SHOWED UP ONTIME AND MY COLLEAGUE HAS SENT THE TRAINEES LOADERS. I DON’T EVEN WORK WITH HIM; I DUNNO WHY THE HELL ON EARTH HE WAS YELLING AT ME.

Day 2

2011-08-02T16:17:00.000+04:00

Tumben hari ini saya gak sibuk dan bisa nge-blog..

My third Ramadan in sandpit, lebaran ini saya pengen banget ada di Indonesia. Jangan sampe bang Toyib ada saingan.

Anyway, this is the second day of the holy month, I will break the fast today with Steamy. He said he will prepare fish for me.. yaaaaaaaaay..

Talking about braking the fast, inget-inget jaman alay dulu rame2 ngantri beli makanan dan ngumpul bareng temen2.. kadang sebulan penuh acara udah padet.. buka bareng jurusan, fakultas, temen esde temen esempe, temen le, de el el. Here in sandpit, I miss that thing a lot.

I am having this insomnia again every first day red-eye shift…I couldn’t sleep at all. So like always working like a zombie in the morning.. I think I need to see the doctor. ^_^

Work-related update? Hmm..nothing much.. I am gaining more experience and getting use to my work. From my previous work experience, I used to handle guests without manner. But now, I need to handle some people in the work area who doesn’t have manner. Yang kalo minta gadget ud kaya majikan gw, trus kalo gadgetnya ga berfungsi seakan-akan ~~nyalahin~~ gw. I have to arrange my time so I can finish my reports on time. Entertaining those babies asking for unimportant things like: “What is the allocated ID for the flights?” which you can easily track it in flight allocation menu in PDA. I like it anyway, the work keep my nails clean. It’s good I have ~~pembantu~~ Meggie, she always helps me making the scanning report. Thank you very much, Meggie!!

Welcoming Ramadhan

2011-07-30T13:51:00.001+04:00

I am in my best mood today, though I had a sleepless night. I am having my overtime now and you know how I miss the belt life! Sounds funny eh?

And I got Rosy today, my trainee. A very nice lady for Yangoon..anyone knows where Yangoon is???!

Anyway I am enjoying my time, my CCJ flight is short finals and I still have BEY later around 15:00 and I will be off from here at 16:00.

My replacement is approved! Thanks to Metwally he is willing to replace me and gave me his two morning shifts!

Nothing much happened these last two days. I had a very bad mood this week (blame period! Haha).

A terrible news as well came from Ferawaty Chandra, she lost her father, my deep condolences for her and may he rest in peace..

Anyway, I just curled up at home with my kitten, watched TV with him. And he tagged along with me to Friday brunch with my colleagues.

2011-07-26T20:56:00.001+04:00

One thing I like about my work is the days off! I got four days off.. and here is how I spent ~~my salary~~ spare time...

Spent time a lot with this lovely guy

Had dinner in Wagamama with Steamy..oops terlalu kalap lupa difoto sebelum makan

This pink dress matches my new white shoes

Had shisha in SZR with Steamy

Had congee in Kape Corner..mirip2 bubur ayam, tapi Filipina punya

another challenge

2011-07-17T16:39:00.001+04:00

Oh yeahhhhh another red-eye shift as always..

So for the past week I’ve been sitting here as a coordinator. And it caused me went home with my phone battery left around 70%. No time to browse, chat, even worse I don’t have time to eat my lunch *hahhaha lebaaaaaayyyyyyyy..

It caused mo more revenue for Costa upstairs, because I don’t have time to go there. No more time to take a nap between the flights, and no more slacking around in the locker doing my nails. End of era.

The work is simple, but there are a lot of things to do. Plus, some people treat me like their mom (or maid??!) asking like simple things and want me to serve them with the gadgets (PDA and tetra or HHT) they need.

Anyway, work is always work.. Sometimes it gets too hard for me because I am taking it seriously and emotionally.

So this is how I spent my last four days off:

Day 1

maicih courtesy of mami and the courier fera

I stayed asleep the whole day next to my Steamy. I helped him around to do his apartment deep cleaning.

Day 2

We went to our consulates. First was his consulate because he needs to do two stuffs and we didn’t know how the queue is. Luckily it was not difficult to found the place, because he hasn’t been there even once since he was in Dubai!! After beat the queue, and went to Mercato Mall to take pic (the one without smile) finally he was done with his things. But then it’s already 13:00Hrs and my consulate were closed, so we decided to have early lunch in Satwa. Perhaps, because I had nothing since morning so I eat a lot!!

Then we headed to my consulate just to fetch the paper. We were walking under sun with 45 degrees summer hot!

fresh avocado in endless summer heat!

Right after that we went to Karama to check the driving school but it was closed. So we hopped on the tube to Deira City Center and would like to catch the movie. But he likes nothing on the display and I wanted t o see Potter, he doesn’t like Potter we both were so exhausted and we ended up buying groceries in Carrefour

the prep to cook kofta in tomato gravy

Day 3

I stayed at home and did my house chores and had a severe headache.

Day 4

Snuggled and cuddled with Steamy the whole day and had dinner in SZR (and had a very serious argument with him too)

how did you spend your weekend?

update update!!

2011-07-07T08:46:00.000+04:00

I had a very nice 4 days weekend last time then a terrible 4 days at work then again spent 4 days splurging my money on summer sale.

This is the wrap:

well, this is Fenda, she is LHAO hehehe when we were in Cool Ice

Sneaked in The Village for 2 days..

That was nicely spent days off with my friends, as I missed them a lot. We had sleepless night for pyjamas party, non-stop eating, and all the fun stuffs.

Mami dan anak-anak..

Tampar maaaaam tamparr...

Compare for the days after at work, huff.. It was very messed up days, wrong offloaded, wrong scanned, and had a dispatcher yelled at me.

Last four days off:

Splurging my whole salary on dress, shoes, and jeans.. and had macaroons treat!

I dunno why this tiny things are very expensive

Oh yeah this was alay moment while waiting for Meggy in the ladies room

Sorry for the bad resolution of the pics

Went to Indonesian consulate to get driving license letter.

Surveyed prices on two different driving institute.. feels like was 15, but this time no mommy to arrange my driving license thingy =(((

And had my roommate yelled at me..Maybe she was having hormonal problem like me hehehe

Paul left yesterday, I did not have chance to say bye, because I was having flight. If you reading this now, I know you’re going to complain about my grammar mistake.. but then I wish you all the good luck, kiddo!

Actually I am having my days off but yesterday I scheduled for overtime and today they ask me to come again. Not to bad, to pay my driving license that is so damn costly.

First time having shift together! Yayyy

Have a great weekend everybody!!

all out of faith

2011-06-17T01:57:00.000+04:00

TraineeAlay: Where this flight come from?

Me: SEZ is Seychelles..

TraineeAlay: Seychelles??? Apaan tuuh??? Sejenis makanan?!

Me: Cape deyh..

Akhir-akhir ini banyak newbies di Arrival. Dari mulai yang imut-imut, ganteng, fast-learner, kurang pinter alias ~~bego,~~ nyebelin, sampe yang songong…

TraineeSongong: How long you’ve been working here?

Me: This is my second month.

TraineeSongong: Hmm, so you are new *_* frownyface

Me: Yes.

--------Ga lama kemudian Pak Supervisor meng-attached dya sama gw.

Me: What’s your name?

TraineeSongong: My name is Minah.

Me: Okay since you will be attached to me, let’s go I’ll show you around.

TraineeSongong: HMM..OGAH ahh.. lw masih baru, bisa tuker ma orang yang lebih senior ga???

Me: Oh, gapapa, udah blg ama Pak Boss?

TraineeSongong: Harus bilang yah?

Me: @#$%^&^^(0

Yah rata-rata mereka pada dalam state-of-shock. Sama laaaahhh kaya gw on my first two weeks. Kebanyakan newbies juga berlatar belakang customer service, dan mereka kaget sekarang kudu ngurus baggage, bukan ngurusin passenger. The ladies hate the safety shoes, well, what can I say, I am still hating it either!

But some of them are also having positive thought, especially when I explained to them that no one cares about our grooming here, no need to do hair or make up, mereka seneng jadinya. Hehehe..

Safety poster

Ngupi-ngupi all the time

Gw crita sama mereka, kalo dulu gw ampir pengen resigned. But I gave myself a try. Made this like a challenge, since I like challenge. So now I am starting to like it. Why not, job is not that difficult, no pressure, bisa ngupi2 kapan aja, 4 days off, with the advantage entitled for cheap ticket from the Airlines.

This cute yellow car, I wanna have one..

My man is in a very long layover. BKK-SYD-CHC-SYD-BKK!! :’(
Kalo deket bawaannya pengen nampol dya mulu, tapi kalo jaoooh begini I really want him to be beside me. Trus ada tiga hotel di SYD on the list! Gw ga tehe dya stay di hotel yang mana. I was lucky when I tried the second hotel on the list, but the operator lady said he has not check in yet.

bengong

2011-06-06T15:56:00.001+04:00

Soooo.. my first day red-eye shift after off. Yesterday, I went to Steamy’s place, and he made fish with chermoulla for me *_* I have been craving for it like in ages! See, how sweet my man is..

Kmaren ga ngapa-ngapain..Cuma tidur-makan-tidur-makan… hehehe..

Hari ini, I got one trainee attached to me.. waduuuwh, baru sbulan udah dkasi trainee. Gw yang kepinteran apa mereka yang gilingan.. hehehehe Ud gituuu niiy sotoy pula anaknya.. wahh wahh bener-bener cobaan deyhhh..

Huaaaaaahhhh ngantuk niiyyy..drtd ga ngapa2in.. brosing2 aj mpe bego.

Dubai is scorching hot!!!

2011-06-05T02:35:00.001+04:00

Seharusnya libur hari ketiga, but then they called up this morning asked me to do overtime and I agreed. Steamy and I planned to apply Emirates ID, some kind of KTP buat orang yang tinggal di Dubai. Lagian dsini, local cuma sedikit, skitar 90 persen ekspatriat (alias babu kaya gw ini *_*) and roamed around Karama for cheap things. But then I got a call when I was in the taxi on my way to his place this morning. So after waited for him ~~to put his make up on~~, hmmm no.. I mean breakfast; we went to the typing centre in Karama. The first place we went to the guy said he needs our passport to scan them and will give back to us after one day. Steamy is very careful about this kind of matter, so he refused to give his passport. Then we looked for another typing place around the block and asked the guy whether they are going old our passport for sometimes or not. Then he said it just takes one hour to get things done. After waited for approximately one hour, I needed to run to the nearest metro station. I really wanted to go to Al Attar to buy some Filipino snacks, but I didn’t have enough time. So here I am, doing my first overtime. The good thing is that they are paying us for this (not only thank you or add more day off balance) at least to cover the fee of my Emirates ID.

I have a new mug, and its microwaveable!!! It has the lid as well!

I had one incident as well this evening. Mudah-mudahan tidak mempengaruhi reputasi gw..amin ya Allah. Gw khan makan malem ke atas bareng si Ferawaty Chandra, sebelumnya gw udah cek flight pertama gw itu GRU at 23:05. Ga kerasa ngebrel ngalor ngidul ma si Fera, udah jam stengah sebelas. Ehhh, pas gw turun ke bawah, ULD udah di scanned ma kordinator gw. Trus ga lama supervisor eyke dating, kmans aj lw? Dya nanya.. ya gw bilang aje maap, pak.. flightnya kecepetan (padahal gw yg telat) hehehehe.. yaudin laah santay..

Job title: Baggage Services Agent

2011-06-01T02:18:00.000+04:00

If the late post I was talking about my dislike working here, this post I want to do the list of fun things here:

• I mentioned that I am working with males, so most of the time they are treating me like a princess.

• The roster is four by four. Four days working for days off!!! In a month I am working only like 16 days. FOUR DAYS OFF (hehhehe.. I am making you people jealous huuh!?) I could go back and forth to my country, yayyy!!

• If I am not handling a flight I am literally doing NOTHING!! I could go could go back and forth to Deira City Centre by metro if I want to.

• Work is very easy. No one will shout at me because their room is not clean or the room amenity is not there.

• I can forget about the hair bun!! Let’s say everything related to grooming thingy. I can wear any colour of make up, or even no make up. There will be no one blabbering about my nail colour if I put it on purple as well!!

ciluuuuukkkk..

I don’t need to do fake smile if I am in the bad mood. Talking through Tetra only needs: Affirmative!, Negative!, Copied!, Over!, Stand by! There is no more “Good morning Mr. Complain, May I help you?”

I had today’s dinner with mami Tika and Fera. They came to pick up papi Yapp. They brought me laksa and shawarma (yummm, thank you ladies!!) I wanted to go back upstair but my IST flight got delayed so I had to stay here because I had MNL came up. I wish to spent more time with them but its okay, at least I am happy I met them after long time coz I miss them so much.

Day 2

2011-05-30T15:36:00.002+04:00

This is not the second day actually. This is the sixth official working day. I had two days 0500-1700 Hrs shift right after the training and fell ill, the four days off after I spent them only rotten in bed (not really, I went to MOE ^_^ on the first day off coz I felt so bored). Then I started the real shift which is two morning (0500-1700 Hrs) and two nights (1700-0500 Hrs). My shift is not the main shift which is 1000-2200 Hrs/2200-1000 Hrs. I got the same shift for June and I like my shift better than the main shift, I hope the will not change it.

Nasal spray was really helped during my ill days

Talking about work, my job is now very easy. Yeah there are some challenges of course, but it’s different from my previous one. This is really men’s field, I work only with guys. Sometimes I am the only lady working in my shift. I have ladies colleagues which are my batch mates, that’s make it four of us and we barely seeing each other now because we are doing back to back shift.

at least there is a ladies room here!

Anyway, the job is less stressful. The area is like one of the action movie screen, I feel like holding a gun like Jolie and ready to shoot a villain hehehe.. #stupidthought Yeah everyone I met saying that I am very lucky assigned in Arrival-Terminal 3 because the area is in minus five fully air-con compare to Departure upstairs its open air, yeah I should be thankful being here. I handle only The Airlines flights because other airlines flights go to Terminal 1.

Feels like in one Bourne's movie scene

I believe I was saying about the challenges. Yeah yeah so far these are the list:

• I need to learn Hindi very badly in order to communicate better with the porters. They are really nice people, only one or two are annoying: always saying “Madam, no more flights?” or “Eight o’clock I am finish, Madam what time is the flight?”

• PDA (most of the time) error. We are using PDA to scan the container and it got hang all the time.

• Pressing the button of the Tetra is making my nails crap (I need to press it hard!)

• If I got lots of ULD in one flight in one belt and at the same time the other flight I handle come in the other belt! Fiuuh..

• If the ULD smell very bad! I had container from T*V and when the loader opened it, one rat came out of it, gross! I like ULD which are coming from ICN, they are smells flower! #lebaaaay

• If there a delay and very hard to reach the ROTL.

Tetra and PDA

Stop stop complaining, Rani!!! HEhehe.. I am enjoying my time here. First time it was difficult but now I am okay.

*ULD: Unit Load Device
*PDA: Personal Data Assistant
*Tetra: a thingy like walkie talkie
*MOE: Mall of Emirates

Day 6

2011-05-05T10:52:00.000+04:00

I am attached to the ATL now but there is no flights up to 12:20. While by 12:00 we have to be upstair again in bravo26 BHC admin office to finish our online training.

Its our sixth day today being here. Oh yeah my apology for my long dormant. I got a new job. In the Airlines group, ground handling. My position called Baggage Services Agent. My workplace is in Arrival-Terminal 3, Dubai International Airport. For all of you who knows Dubai, terminal 3 is exclusively made for the Airlines, terminal1 is for other airlines, while teminal 2 ia for low-cost carrier and private jets. So i'll be handling only flights for the Airlines.

After few days being here, my suggestion is: do not take any baggage with you when ur flying! Hahaha.. Im sure u guys have seen yhe video on youtube.

Anyway, m trying to find my luck here..wish me all the best and wait for my stories to come up!

After eighteen days holidays, just landed, and straight doing night shift!

Oohmygoat, my body feels like a wreck.. Eyesight blurry.. Stomach bloating.. Feeling dizzy.. ooh udah kaya mo mati ajah deyh.. Wish I could call sick. Mana tadi pas briefing d tanya2in event Dubai Tennis something, ya meneketehe..secara kalo tanya ke Tidung Island naek apa, okelah pasti gw jawab dengan lancar..

Seperti biasa, di hari pertama masuk gawe, I always get blessing.. This time a group wake up call for 104 rooms at 07:00 hrs this morning.. --kampreeeeeettt, knapa di hari pertama siiy--

Anyway, there a lot of travel stories I want to share with you.. And for the pics, you can check them on my Face book account, my beloved friends has tagged me those lovely pics!

The only thing makes me happy back in Dubdub is that I can see Steamy again. I am so happy today that I can curl again on his arms after more than two weeks even though my body are paining and I feel very sick, but had him hugging me the whole day just mean everything to me. We had breakfast together, cooked spaghetti and tuna together for dinner and argued about my trimmed bangs and his new jeans.

I think I would need a cup of coffee to get through this shift.

See you tomorrow with bunch of stories I promised!

officially turning twenty six!

С Днем Рождения для меня!!

2011-01-26T13:19:00.000+04:00

I had my early birthday dinner on Monday with Steamy. Ceuk orang Sunda mah, pamali..dirayain sebelum waktunya. but what to do.. He will be in HAM on my birthday and coming back early morning on the 28 and I will be flying to CGK in the evening. So he was asking me out for dinner on Monday after I finished my duty (I was doing AM shift). I was not agreeing before, but then yeah, I don’t see anymore right timing for us, so I said yes. Quite a bit disaster because on Sunday I couldn’t sleep (oh my good I’m done with this insomnia thing!) I slept at 04:00 and have to catch the bus at 06:00, so I was working like a zombie. I was seeing blurry screen in front of me. I was keep dialing wrong number and was feeling dizzy like I was taking drugs the whole day. Then I went to his place, and was asking him to wake me up and crashed down for one hour. I passed out then I was awake at 19:30 felt very sleepy, he was half sleeping beside me then I rushed to the shower. He said we might cancel the plan and go some other time. I was a more upset because he doesn’t have any reservation and I did say okay because I was thinking of his schedule, and he was blaming me that I slept too much. I got very angry and felt disrespected. Like always, he calmed me down, apologized and begged me. Then showed me the dress, and told me that he desperately wanted to go for a date with me. A very beautiful dark blue dress and had him begging me enough to melt me down. He asked me to get ready and explained he called already several dining places, but most of them will be closed at 22:30 that is why he was thinking of canceling our plan. I suggested going to Foccacia, an Italian restaurant which I thought located in The Park Hotel but I realized it later it is located in The Regency Hotel. I recommended The Terrace and Traiteur in The Park Hotel. So we off to the The Park Hotel which I thought we will have three options: Focaccia, Traiteur the French fine dining, and The Terrace. Hhmm.. I am bragging for my 50% staff discount that is why I wanted to go The Hotel chain. I was not thinking to go to The Grand Hotel, because I don’t want to see people I am working with, or the same person I am seeing everyday in the locker or in the bus. (And yeah we as The Hotel employee, will get half bill discount for dining in any The Hotel restaurant in Dubai, it’s a nice thing working here) Okay, and the story goes.. We went to the Park Hotel, look around The Terrace and Traiteur, and then decided to go for The Terrace. We checked the menu and they have only drinks and light food to nibbles! I thought they have steak at least on the menu list. Then we went to Traiteur, and checked the menu. They have a list I couldn’t even read the name. Then we walked away and decided to go to The Boardwalk which is located in Dubai Creek Golf and Yacht Club next door to the Park Hotel. This is the third time I went there, which is always with him. The first one was when he asked me to be his girlfriend and second time was on his birthday and finished from the training college. The food there is not as stunning as the view and if it’s not because of those memories, I would rather go for some other place. I ordered Mediterranean Duck Breast and he had Salmon steak. He opted for deep fried Calamari for appetizer. We were freezing, because I did not wear a coat, he just wore a shirt. Well spent night anyway! Thank you for the dress and a beautiful evening, baby.

I am thankful for having a very nice man. He understands, caring, and loving me. Yes we had lots of fights, arguments, sometimes over nothing, which makes our relationship go stronger. He is not that kind of cheesy romantic guy, and he is not trying to be (thank god!). I think he did not realize when he did such romantic thing for me such as prepared breakfast when I am still sleeping, went with me if I got an interview call and always checking my nails more than I do. I am a lucky birthday girl to have a partner like him!

What a nice weather today in sandpit, guys!

Feels like I am in Bogor or Bandung.

It is raining (not that heavy rain), , cloudy, and with a chance of meatball!! Hooho not that movie, but it’s really a cool weather here in Dubai! I love it!

Plus tadi makan sop buntut di Employee Restaurant.. hmmm maknyuussssss.. akan lebih okay lageeeh kalo ada bakso pedessssss..

I want to open the window, stay in bed, and snuggle with Steamy

do I need to see doc?

2011-01-19T02:54:00.000+04:00

I couldn’t sleep lately..

I think I have insomnia.

Is it because of the shift changes? I dunno..

Oh yeah, working in a hotel operation takes a lot! We don't do 9-6 shift. And we don’t get day off on weekend (unless if you are lucky enough and begged your boss to give you Friday and Saturday off)

Living in Dubai, weekend is not like in the other side of the world which falls on Saturday and Sunday. Here we are having Friday and Saturday. I think it’s not only in UAE but mostly in Arabic and Middle Eastern countries.

Here is the 24-hours shift pattern breakdown:

AM 07:00-16:00

09:00-18:00

12:00-21:00

PM 15:00-00:00

18:00-03:00

Night 23:00-08:00

The main shifts are AM, PM, And Night when briefing is also happens. The rest is reliever shifts.

The thing is we are not doing fixed shift. If you are blessed with a kind-hearted boss, you will get jumping shift often. Jumping shift means, after doing one or two week’s night shift, you will get morning for the next roster or vise versa. This is very hard because your body is not getting use to it. After night then AM you will feel very sleepy because you usually sleep during the day. AM then got night shift is disaster as well, because you couldn’t sleep during the day.

Most of my friend in Indonesia they are doing 9 to 5 job. I think no one is working is a hotel except me. So every time I ended the chat at 22:00 and said I am going to work, they shocked. “What?? Are you working at this time??” or “Are you joking? Working?? Now?! What time is it in Dubai now?!!“ I heard a lot of these kinds of statements from my friends.

Personally, I like doing Night shift (ga banyak pejabat mondar mandir booow!). The only thing to complain about is the food. (Oh yeah, we got meal provided from the hotel!) They are quite improved now, but before the only things served were French fries and fried rice.

Okay, back to my sleeping problem. I have difficulties to stay asleep lately. Yesterday I slept only 3 hours, and came to work like a zombie. This morning I was wide awake from 05:00, I couldn’t sleep back. Boyfie arrived from flight at around 07:00 and asked me to come over; but I said I am trying to get some sleep. When roomie came at 09:00 I was still awake!! Then I decided to catch 10:00 bus and went to work (I scheduled 12:00-21:00 shift). OOooh maybe I need a sleeping pill or a vacation!

relationship resolution

2011-01-14T01:43:00.002+04:00

To be honest, gw merasa ada yang aneh dari hubungan kita. Ga tau gw yg lagi depresi soal kerjaan, atau dia yang jetlag terus. Or lack of quality time together, yang jelas gw ngerasa there is something missing.

Being one year together, dibanding seperti kebanyakan kisah cinta gw, ini sudah waktunya expired. Setahun waktu paling lama lah buat sebuah hubungan buat gw. untuk mengenal siapa pasangan, makanan kesukaannya, gimana kalo dia lagi marah, dll. abis itu karena udah tau semua, mulai ngerasa bosen, dan hubungan kadang ga asik lagi.

Ya emang sih, satu tahun bukan waktu yang lama buat mengenal seseorang. Kebanyakan temen-temen gw pacaran dari es-em-a, masih awet sampe sekarang. They have like 3-years, 4-years, relationship. I really want to know the secret recipe to have such a long-term relationship. Karena semua hubungan gw selalu ga lebih dari setahun.

But for the last relationships I had, I always wanted them to be last, including this one. I need a serious life-partner who will not get expired after one year. I want him to understand me better than I do. I want him to be my best friend in life, whom I can run to when I need shoulder to cry on. I need somebody who can spoil me like a little kid.

It is not easy because we met in a melting pot. We will never know what next will bring for us. Language barrier, cultural, and different food type preference are the challenges that we are facing. Kadang-kadang ~~seringan~~ sesama orang Indo juga berantem mulu.

Bukannya pengen putus atau komplen. There is not much to complain anyway. We are still in love and we still can't get enough for each other. Dia masih masakin saya seperti biasa, justru saya yang jarang masakin dia akhir-akhir ini. We are still taking care of each other when one of us was sick. Nothing is particularly wrong, I just missing him so much prolly.

Relationship works from both sides. I need to spoil someone too, if I wanted to be spoiled. I need to understand him if I want to be understood.

So I would like to do better for the sake of our relationship.

I would to stick to every single plan we have, eventhough untuk membayangkannya saja udah cukup sulit but I am up to the challenge.

I want to be a better me, better us.

Commencing our anniversary, I guess this is just a beginning for us; there will be a lot more to come.

He just landed, can't wait to squeeze him!!

things i CAN'T wait to have this month

2011-01-12T23:26:00.000+04:00

1. This cute package I ordered from Eyeko.com

They said it takes 28 days to have it delivered from Eyeko HQ in London. I ordered it last December 31, 2010 and i definately have to wait until 27th this month. OOOhhh they're so darn cute!!!

2. I can't wait to fly to Jakarta and have this mouth-watering Nasi Bungkus

Oh yeah, I am flying back home this month and having this super-excitement feeling kind of. From CGK airport I will be heading straightly to a nearest Rumah Makan Padang!!!

3. Michael Kors Midsized Rose Golden Chronograph Watch

I think I have to wait until February to have this *wink wink* Dikarenakan dana terbatas *namanya juga te-ka-i* dan tidak mungkin korupsi jadi sabar-sabar menunggu sampai bulan depan ataw abis liburan.

4. IPhone 4

I haven't got time to visit any nearest Etisalat BC to have the bundled phone. I guess i will not have a problem because my SIMcard is postpaid anyway. But my friend said that it always out of stock because everyone in the UAE wants to have this kewl phone, prolly.

Ajahn Bramh said, it is hard because we want everything. It will be easier if we don't want anything and just be happy for what we have. The thing is

I broke my blush-on so I need a new one, that is why i bought this Eyeko. Well, package comes cheaper, so that nail polishes would be the bonus!
I want nasi bungkus, well since I am living in the plastic city, Dubai, there is no Warung Padang in every corner of the street. So, pretty normal if I crave for this one.
My watch is also not working. I desperately need a new one, and should be MK!! =)))
My tiny purple Samsung goes hang every now and then, so its the right reason I want to have IPhone 4 hehehe

See the difference between needs and wants.. I just made it up actually..

i got some gifts!!!!

2011-01-11T20:11:00.001+04:00

I got a gift from my secret santa (is the boss herself)

I am really curious what would be inside but I don't wanna ruin the giftwrap

see, it wrapped very nicely with ribbons, pink roses and the pink card as well

the purple giant lighter I got it from Omar

I got Hello Kitty purple phone pouch from Shila last week ^I don't have the pic of it, but it is so darn cute *good for my new Iphone4* hahaha^^

thank you, people!!

wishing you a very happy bday my chiquita friend: Mrs. Sharon Caleb

i'm not gonna sleep today

2011-01-08T05:48:00.000+04:00

off today, but i have reserve training at 14:00..

somebody get me outta here!!!

2011-01-05T05:55:00.000+04:00

~~hell~~ comm center: just dial 0 to call us..

I just don’t knowwhy am I am still sitting here.. While everyday is getting worse. Work sucks..boss also very bitchy. We even have training how to answer the call. For me it’s a time-wasting thingy, we could have better training than that one. And the hotel iq score just came out, we stands 50 percent in wake up call. That is a very bad score! But then if we did well, there is no appreciation at all, in fact we did 100 percent in other tasks.

Talking about the boss, I sent my roster request for the next one month because I am going for vacation. Roster request should be sent every first Sunday, and the roster is for two weeks. Since I will be back on Feb. 16, then I made the request from now and it makes it advanced three weeks. She replied: “it is not guaranteed and upon availability"(what is unavailable????, its three weeks advanced, lady!!!) I just dot get it!

tapi kalo kata unyil: sabar aja, anggap ini ibadah..

I admitted, sabar emang paling susah.

happy belated birthday!

2011-01-04T05:12:00.000+04:00

breaking and entering

2010-12-08T13:24:00.000+04:00

ahhh no no, not a Jude Law's movie.. I was really happen two days ago! Someone has broken and entered our room while we were SLEEPING and stole our cash! I can't believe that this is happened, man.. Thought I live in a very save compound area! Guarded by security 24-hours! But then when I reported to the Accommodation Management they suggested me to call the police. I said, why not if that is how they are handling the case. Police came, and they all just blame because I did NOT LOCK the door. I brought the case to the Human Resources DIRECTOR; he said it’s our fault as well to let the door unlocked. He suggested having self awareness regarding our own safety by TAKING care of our SELF by keep the door LOCK! I can’t believe that they did not have kind of follow up regarding this matter. It’s happening in the neighbourhood, and I thought definitely the suspect is living in the accommodation as well. I don’t feel secure to live there anymore, I don’t trust the management as well.. ill make a report only if there is any bulb fused, the rest, no need to talk to the management either accommodation or HR. kind of wasting time and energy..

So this was exactly happen:

Monday, December 6, 2010 i left at 01:15 Hrs from The Airlines Accommodation and took taxi to the Hotel and catch 01:30 Hrs bus for going to The Village accommodation.

01:50 Hrs I arrived; I found the main door locked, went inside my flat and locked the door back. I brushed my teeth and had my face clean. Then I went to my room, I was thinking to wake my night cream in the fridge but I was so sleepy then I just jump to bed and texted my man to inform that I am arrived. At 02:07 Hrs he was calling me back to check that I am okay. After that I drown in the deep sleep.

At 05:00 Hrs my roommate woke up and found her handbag and purse disarranged and checked the purse and she found the cash is missing. She took 06:00 Hrs bus and left me a note to check my purse. I woke up at 10:00 Hrs and read her note and checked my purse and found all my cash are gone as well *hhm well the thief left AED 5 notes in my purse* so we guessed that the operation hour was between 02:00-05:00 Hrs.

The scenario that somebody has broken and entered the room while we were sleeping is definitely freaking me out. I can’t even hear the earthquake if I am sleeping. All right, it’s my fault to let the door unlocked. But they don’t suppose to do that. We are here, living and working together...

And managements, please you have heard a lot of these cases lately.. Definitely it’s an internal problem. Please follow up and just don’t give up to the police like that. Remember last time I had issue when Momo left his ID card in the security and I left to work. The Accommodation Manager was saying that he is handling he is 2000 people and he is in charge of the area so he has to take care all of them. Now the HR Director saying to me that we have more that 2000 people, we can NOT put CCTV everywhere, it should be everyone’s awareness of their own secure. They are FUCKIN flipping their own words…

What goes around comes around; I am so much believed in karma!

happy national day!

2010-12-04T16:10:00.002+04:00

Celebrating Unites Arab Emirates' National Day today! Yeah I am living here, a country with the highest building in the world and having very extreme summer weather. These are some reasons why I love staying in Dubai:

• Away from mom and family, this situation has pushed me to an evolution to become a tougher me. From the household chores to what time should I go home, I can decide everything for myself.

• I have to speak English! Speak in English, read in English; sometimes I have a dream in English! Don’t expect me to fluent in Arabic; English is widely spoken over here. With every accent from all around the world.

• I have a chance to meet, work and get mingle with a lot of ~~Indians and Filipino..and~~ other nationalities as well.

• Traffic jam is NOT my daily breakfast.

• I have to chance to live in a very fast-growing city. Yesterday the tower was not there, but today you can see it! Oh well, you-know-which tower.

• It’s a melting pot, baby! Tried different authentic cuisines from nations around the globe.

• I can go home to my accommodation anytime in 24-hours without being scared of the threats robbery, kidnapping, and kapak merah for example. The Hotel provides transportation every one hour in 24-hours from the accommodation The Village to The Hotel. Taxi is always everywhere as well..you don’t have to worry wether is Blue Bird or another Taxi company.. Taxi here is operated by RTA (Road and Transportation Authority) your safety is guaranteed, the only thing you have to worry about is the taxi driver wether he stupid or not (knowledgeable for area in Dubai)

• You don’t have to wait until 10 PM to avoid three-in-one.

• Every thing delivers here. From the groceries downstairs to KFC.

Happy national day, UAE! Brighter days ahead!

XX: Where are you from?
ME: I am from Indonesian
XX: Aaaah.. you're Indonesian. I thought you're a Filipino

XY: What's your name?
ME: My name is Rani
XY: You have Indian name, but you're from The Philippines.. how come?
ME: I am not from The Phillipines, I am Indonesian.
XY: Aaaah you're Indonesian, but your face is look like a Filipino.

XX: Where are you going?
ME: I am going to the prayer room.
XX: What? Are you praying? are you moslem?
ME: Yes i am going to pray.
XX: How come? You're really a moslem?

Living in Dubai, one of the state in United Arab Emirates, this would be a challenge for me.. Have been here for two years, and having those questions is my daily life. With only 17 % of local emirati population (Google: 2008), this place is really a melting pot for every nations in the world!

Meet me, my name is Rani.. I am Indonesian, with Indian name and Filipina face. I speak a lil bit Russian and having a relationship with a Moroccan guy. Would that be all to make me a real Dubaian?

Happy Birthday, Mommy!

2010-11-06T19:38:00.002+04:00

Three more days to go and I have to go back to Guest Services. Oh yeah, I feel ~~home~~sick of Guest Services already hahaha..

I am having cold, my nails are crap, my room is messy, and I don't have even soap to take shower.. Uuurgh, am I that busy, I don’t have time to do anything!

My man flew this morning for vacation. He texted me saying that he just landed. I miss him already. Oh, it’s not only a week without him like he got long-haul flight and three layovers. But its going to be 3 weeks away *huhu, m started crying already* anyway, m still wishing him have a nice vacation.

Last nite I went with boyfie and Adam to PBJ in Wafi rooftop. Oh yeah its been ages i didn't go to that place, even last year when I resigned.

PBJ stands for Peanut Butter Jam it’s a weekly event held in Wafi rooftop during winter. It starts in the end of summer until the winter ends. They are having live jams, beanbags, drinks, and some snacks.

We passed Seville's and i asked my man to dine there and he strictly refused. He said, "What am I going to eat?? Paella??! Hell NO!!" Hahaha he so fed up of Seville's food! No wonder because he had had worked there for more than two years.

The bands were playing well. They also had this Opera singer group, sang Pavarotti's songs. Whoooaaaa we were about to sleep last nite. It was not because they were not singing well but we're not into opera song thingy.

After PBJ, we met some of our previous colleagues. I was so starving last nite, then he opted for Biella coz he wanted Seafood Marinara Pizza. I am not fond for Pizza then I had Linguine Carbonara.

Had fun, fully loaded, then it was time to go home, then after that he had to catch his flight.

Mommy's birthday was yesterday. Happy bday, mom! Sorry can't bring you cakes. I'll come on January with lots of cakes for you. She likes cakes very much, I might catch direct flight to CGK then I can order cakes from Panini. I am thinking to bring Panini's cheese cake and their opera cake for her.

Happy bday, mommy!!

go, going, gone

2010-11-03T23:05:00.003+04:00

hey.. this is another update during my leave!!

hmm. really miss to write..

its winter, baby!

Its November already! Time flies! It is really great to spend November here in sandpit, because,, the weather is changing.. For those who like the sun, it’s still warming during the day but not burning like in July or August. In the evening, the weather is so damn amazing -though there was sandstorm when winter comes- it’s not freezing as in January of February. The breeze is just cool! Outside seating in a restaurant will be your definite preference! Well then, you have to be in Dubai for a year to feel the difference each month!

There are always two sides of a coins.. The crap part is my man is goin on vacation this month. He is having twenty days leave, and going back to his home country. I will be here alone in the sandpit. =(

new shoes (again)

He is now in BKK, and coming back tomorrow, I am trying to spend time with him as much as I can while i am now on leave but I have to finish the cross training as well.

The day before I went with him to Karama to buy Eucalyptus oil (Minyak Kayu Putih for those who said so) for his mother and dined in Betawi. He had pecel ayam, but apparently I forgot to tell them not to put the sambel. Hehehe.. he said its so spicy. And he said they have to change their tagline Enjoy Suffer Indonesian food! hehehe.. he should try sambelnya bebek pangdam, I am sure he will scream!

Then we went to Burjuman, I got a very CHEAP wedges!!!! **soo happy** i mean, it IS very cheap. The original price is AED 135, then discounted to AED 85 then when I paid in the cashier, its only AED 56..ho ho.. Cute flowery wedges shoes for that price. Any lady would envy me!

I got a free lens solution as well, when I bought an eye drops /thx to my man who speaks Arabic/ *guess it was my lucky day*

Then I saw NYX cosmetic counter there! I didn't know that they have it in Dubai. I gotta have one of their lippy!

about Ali

Yesterday, I got up late and only came 2 hours to airport.. then when I was in the metro (maaan, it is so cool working in airport, just hopped to metro from Terminal 3 to Emirates Tower to see boyfie! would love to work here.. please please Mr. AirportManager is there any vacancy for me?) then when i was in the metro, Yana was calling me.. Yes, he is back to Dubai! Then he is asking me to come to Karama because Ali is leaving.

So in the evening, I bid farewell to my man, then went to Karama, then went to airport to drop Ali..

Ali is a good man, it reflects on his personality. A lot of people walked him to the airport. I am sure he will be missed a lot. Oohh damn man, every time he cook the taste is always good!

The question is, if you leave, would people remember you? Will you be missed? Is there any good thing that makes them reminisce you? did u do any good deeds for them?

vacation

2010-11-02T22:19:00.001+04:00

m sorry i am too enjoying my local leave..

oh yeah, didn't i tell you? i got 13 days vacation.. m staying here, feeling the changing weather in the sandpit, while having a cross training in airport terminal-3.

ice cream!!

2010-10-23T02:51:00.002+04:00

heeeeeey i had ice cream in EmployeeRestaurant this evening!!! imagine ice cream!

with the Haagen Dasz fridge but unfornately its not Haagen Dasz ice cream.. i dunno what was the brand, but then the sundae cone tasted ~~not too bad~~ good.

I am currently reading two books.. Cacing dan Kotoran Kesayangannya written by Ajahn Brahm *pinjem dari Leo* and i am trying to finish Rowling's The Deathly Hallows.

The first book i mention is very thoughful. Gives a morality reason through a story, i don't feel like somebody lecturing me, but it has so many lesson of life on it. This Ajahn Brahm actually was a British Engineer that turned to a monk. So he lives very simply and modest. He had stay in the jungle of Thailand and other part of the world in order to became a monk. My favourite story part is the one that he should build a temple by himself, without any money. Then finally he build it, but he realised there are two bricks those wrongly put by mistake. So he keeps on avoiding those visitor to see that wall. but one day one visitor incidentaly went to see the wall, and he said the wall is so beautiful. Ajahn Brahm said "what the heck? its the ugliest wall i've ver built, see those two bricks? they are very ugly" but then the visitor said "forget about those two bricks, you have other 998 bricks those really beautiful" hehehe so the morality is, be positive *except if i'm in my period* and stop complaining..

The second book, Rowling's Potter last edition is okay..just keep me wondering what will Harry do to fight you-know-who without Dumbledore and with the misterious things those he had left for Harry.

I'm still browsing for a good deal for ticket going back home on January. Last nite i checked SQ for stopover in SIN it was okay, but today the price has changed.. maybe i'll cancel the stopover, just go directly book GA to CGK and have bday bash at home.. anyway i haven't get my paycheck yet..hopefully the service charge will be okay this month coz i desperately wanna go home..

another update

2010-10-22T02:00:00.001+04:00

2010-10-20T05:23:00.002+04:00

Good morning DubDub, nice date isn't it?

and i am OFF today!!

yayayayyy let's rock the town..

my man's graduation today..

decided to wear the navy blue dress.. he asked me to wear that jegging and the shirt those we bought last time from Bershka. but then i don't feel like to, i want something formal.. i was about to wear my black Promod minidress, but he declined. he WANT me to wear the jeggings *oowh yes - my man has his own style statement* anyhoo, he has to be there at 07:00 Hrs then i will go with his bestmate Adam at 13:00. ill be finishing early from work today so ill have enough sleep. so ill show up with that blue navy and having formal look. and ill tell you on my next post whether he's gonna complain or not *he surely will do!*

anyway, its been six month his with the company.. we are doing so much better in any side of our relationship. i am so happy with that because as i remember that i was soooo damn scared before, when he just got this job.

the only thing i miss is to sleep next to him between 01:00 to 07:00 Hrs.

the rest.. nothing to complain about.. we are just don't get enough of each other.

m so lucky to have him, and very much thankful for that.

nice Indian couple: Kamal and Rani

cross training

2010-10-19T03:51:00.004+04:00

PVCM

heyyyaaaaaaa...

my man is in town! he called me up at work Monday morning =) thought he will be arriving Tuesday morning *wrong prediction* i was wearing the tube jumpsuit, white flipflop, and white acrylic nail polish -those are things that he wants me to throw away - hahaha and as i guessed earlier, he was complaining today. my man is detail oriented person. he hates to see me wearing something which is not proper.

but he still happy to see me -doesn't even let me go to work, so i was running like a headless chicken in order to reach the hotel on-time- i still wanna be with him too..but i need to earn fifty dirham as well.

we got into little fight as well caused by FACEBOOK (again)!! one of my friend commented about my new profpic and he really hates that comment. i haven't even check my facebook yet.. but he said he is jealous and not into these social networking thingies (PVCM-previous complain) we fight over this things. i understand why he's so angry..ill be jealous as well if it happens to him.. it is normal in a reationship, right.. it is questionable and weird if we dont have jealousy feeling. anyway, the world knows im deeply in love with him.. he is more than anything that i could expect from a man..

m not gonna see him today after work, coz he needs to take some classes and i need to do my nails -he hates this shiny thingy very much- i need to take some dresses as well for his grad day on Wednesday.. oh i dunno what to wear!!!!!

CROSS TRAINING

hey hey.. my cross training has been approved! either from the training department or the airport counter itself.. i sent email last nite to the airport counter manager to start earlier on the Oct 27 instead of the Oct 30 and this is how he reply

Picture have been removed due to some reason.

yipppppieeeee..

colour inject mineral

2010-10-15T22:31:00.003+04:00

i GOT a new LIPSTICK!!!

this is the first time of my life i got a lipstick from a boyfie!! owh yeahhh.. *jumping around*

trying out my new lipstick

its Australis-Colour Inject Mineral Lipstick (cha cha colour-its soooo red, im wondering why he got me this colour while he said before my red Wet n' Wild lipgloss doesn't suit me)

it's so soft and light when i applied on my lips.. it doesn't smudge at all.. its just creamy and moist.

yippppiieee..new lipstick!!

well then, im so happy coz currently i dont have any lipstick now.. coz i lost my Bobbi Brown!

my man definately loves me so much, he looked all around just for this lipstick for me -asked for the directions, and i think people gave him a weird thought coz he was looking for a lipstick!-

its soooo reeeeed, aight?

i just met him today after he came from PER, but im still missing him so much but i had to go to work at 19:00 and he is leaving for NRT tonight as well..another three days without him. =(

anyhoo, i have to extend tonight coz Navia called sick.. while there is Masafi 16 arisan with the ladies tonite. i hope there will be a leftover food for me when i come at 06:00 later.

and i asked my boss today to swap my day off next week with Mr. Fudge, and she was okay! m surprised!

terima kasih, steamy!

ill be off tomorrow.. yeaaaaaah!!!

chocolate FUDGE ice cream

2010-10-05T02:14:00.000+04:00

hiyaaaaa m doing night shift again.. after some time.. i couldn't sleep during the day -of course coz it had been set up for AM shift- soo i was trying to make myself tired by cleaning the bathroom and doing my laundry.. i did not work still couldn't sleep, and right after i cleaned the bathroom this bxtch -flatmate of mine- came and left her footmark on the shiny floor i had clean!!! i really wanted to slap her!

dyouknowwhatt...actually taking unpaid leaves is NOT compulsory.. that a very FUUUUG news, coz my boss had given me 6 days unpaid leaves -WHICH i DID NOT requested for 5 of them and i DID not NEED them- remember when i had long boring weekends like 3 days off.. yeah it's included UNPAID..it is really FUG. my boss just put that on the roster to clear those up, and now they say they REMOVE all the UL which has not been taken!!! in the other word, my unpaid leaves are fxxking wasted, and i don't have money because of that.. that's really FUG!

another thing that made me upset was last Friday i cancelled my dinner appointment with the ladies club and went to mall with Steamy with the main purpose to watch RESIDENT EVIL! but i ended up shopping and did not watch the movie.. and he told me that honestly he didn't wanna watch that movie, he was going just because of i wanted to watch it *owh that's sweet* but why he didn't tell me in the first place, and keep roamed around to waste the time while he was aware that it was weekend and there was long queue!

gosh, sometimes life is ain't easy.. and that's the art of it..

OMG..first day after 3 days weekend.. why i should work with this guy?? it is really IRRITATING and annoying..

in the beginning of the shift i asked him

Me/"hey can you print message"

Mr. Fudge/"what message"?

Me/"FUDGE message for your girlfriend--of course its the GP messages!!!"

Mr. Fudge/"no no, you print them, Rani.. i printed them yesterday

*i wasn't working with you yesterday, nympho*

Me/"im the one always do the messages when im working with you"

then i decided to print half of them.. *please work as a team*

Me/"please print from 722 and the rest"

after some time

Mr. Fudge/"Rani, is not printing, can you print room no xxx?'

i ended up printing all the MESSAGES

FUDGE, i still have AM shift tomorrow with him!

i had the nice brekky this morning.. hehehe after these ladies called me hundred times to woke me up.. hehehe thx for waiting Fera, Fenda, Elda yang sampe ketiduran, and Tika who turned my lansia rice to a very nice bubur ayam.. =))

last weekend..went nowhere Thursday-Friday puasa dengan suksesnya.. makes my balance now become three more.

a little bit upset when i checked my withdrawn apps.. but cheering up again in the tuna party in Masafi 16.. then Steamy is back in town yesterday..brought me a looot of cookies (yeaaaah!) and i got a dress from his mom *haaaah, bikin gw ge-er aja, thanks a lot mama Fatima*

a lot of things that i want them to be done, but i am always lazy to do it over the weekend.. but this weekend for sure i will do it hehehe.. besides, Steamy is going to CMN while i'll be having 3 days off (again).

\\bersihin kamar mandi pake clorox..trus rendem shower curtainnya/atau beli shower curtain baru *tapi u menya nyet jeneg..gmn dong

\\fasting! i should be fasting this 3 days weekend.. i had done it one day only last week.. pengen puasa Syawal juga

\\finish my scrapwall

\\read the piling books! or return them back to Oasis coz i borrowed one crap drama book. I have Dan Brown's Deception Point borrowed from Tika, i will read it this weekend then.

\\start working out again.. its's been a while i haven't hit the gym, since Ramadhan i guess..i'll start tonite maybe..

so yeah, that's the to-do list.

this morning i was late *sengaja sebenernya* last nite i was so damn exhausted.. went to see my kitten, went to grocery and end up with Hicham who was cooking the bolognese for us hehehe (so at least i learnt that fresh tomatoes is a must plus the paste as well, and minced beef should be put first before everything else then if u pouring water to the dishes while its cooking you should pour it from the side)

went along SZR to check Steamy's boots, he could not find his size then we checked the other branch in Dubai Mall. Rika said she was coming but i didnt see her text until this morning.

okay then, i'm going to EmployeeRestaurant//

ich habe kein geld

2010-09-19T15:03:00.002+04:00

resuming back to duty after 3-days off..

my partner Navia is very grumpy today..maybe she is having PMS.. #_#

weekend? nothing much.. seafood soup makan-makan di tempat jeng Tika, ajep-ajep hari Kamisnya, trus Jumat nganterin Elda ke salon, Sabtu sama Steamy ajah *makan ramen di Wagamama hehe*

2010-09-16T16:59:00.000+04:00

happy weekend, people!

engaged or not engaged

2010-09-13T13:19:00.003+04:00

Eid mubarak everyone!!!!

This is my second day working after 3-days off for Eid.. veryyyy sleepy as always coz i just slept for 3 hrs since yesterday.. Last nite Rika drew a visit to SZR, i grilled chix and we had a nice chat..she seems very happy with her new LDR beau *yeah it is good to be in love*

Today is the first day they start the employee engagement survey..i did it for only 60 seconds..then i drank a looot of squeezed orange juice..hehe.. It is a cool thingy that they did for the employee, checking the level of our happiness, in spite of what i answered for the survey. Anyway i did several poses for their presentation for this survey *they put the posters in the corridor, feels like i'm a celebrity heheh - with everyone says "hey Rani, i saw your pic downstaïr!"*

<><><><><><>

Posing with sleepy eyes..heheh

Believe me, this is just a fake pose that Steve asked-i wasn't really talking

anyhooooo.. this week was amazing.. remember my last week post he did not bring me the mooncake, but he bought me a pair of green ballerina flatshoes.. *i knew yoshugreen is very jealous reading this* and after that he got no flight until today airport standby and they pick him for Nairobi turnaround. So sorta a week of vacation with him, snuggled at home, went to Carrefour to buy groceries, and watched Nat Geo while having dinner *he said he wanted to fly-too much off-then there you go, bebe..Nairobi heheh*

Ied?? I spent nicely with my friends in Karama *not as crowded as last year, but we had fun though*..and prayed in consulate of course with The Hotel colleagues. Was having hard time to call Indonesia but finally got through. I ate a loooooot on ied, like always. Shintya and Ali should open a restaurant, their food are so damn delicious!.

that's a wrap for today, gosh i wanna pee..

.

every second counts

Dobroe Utra!

HHahha first day morning shift this holy month 6:00 - 13:00 Hrs..means i took 05:00 Hrs bus from Sahari.. its a total crap because i could not sleep last night..but when i was about to fall asleep, my friend called up around 01:20 Hrs to have sahoor together, which i definately rejected..then i was half sleeping until 03:00 Hrs..got up, and ate my sahoor. then i was soooo lazy to get into the bathroom, i felt like i was dragging myself..when i got out from the bathroom it was nearly 05:00 Hrs.. i did not have time to do my hair!!!! finally i took the hair straightener with me.. ^#^ then i ran like a headless chicken to catch the bus *its not something new anyway*

then here i am at 08:06 Hrs.. sleepy but soooo excited!! this is the reason why..

Steamy is coming today..ETA is 13:00 Hrs..i will be finished when he is landing. Hip hip Horaaaaay!!

Hopefully he will bring me the mooncake *ngarep* hehehehe.. eventhough he is not, then its completely okay..i will eat him instead.. *hahh puasa,puasa..astaghfirullah* hehehhe..

Yesterday, September 5 was exactly the same date when i joined Wafi in 2008..so i have been here for two years!! *hip hip horaay??* but it feels like forever..

Four more days to go to ied.. miss ketupat, tekwan, opor, kastengels, nastar, pempek, and everything on the Palembangnese family table..my third time missed ied celebration with my family *kalah khan bang toyib, 3x lebaran gw ga pulang cuyy*.. i hope next year i will celebrate it back home..

last post of August

2010-08-31T21:59:00.002+04:00

just dont wanna remember the times that i got scared.. the time that i felt hurt.. the time that i felt sad..
because im feelling the opposite way.. not really brave, but no,im not afraid.. know how nice it is when loving someone and he loves you back.. having the excitement when my face lights up everytime he crossed my mind..

anyway.. related to my previous post, i got the swiss mushroom burger last nite!!! *courtesy of Steamy =x
aaand i got a pair of brown heels from him!!! *jingkrak-jingkrak*

had a chat with one of my friend today and feeling my life is not that so miserable tough.. i have always to count my blessings, so it will avoid a complaint.. hehehe happy people dont complaint, aight?

food craves

2010-08-29T15:29:00.001+04:00

i am suffering from cold and cough for the last days.. fever, sore throat just mention it! went to the doc but the meds he gave me doesn't work i guess.. *kualat gara2 last week pura2 sakit magh hehehe*

what's happening lately.. not much..

got new haircut!

twice! the first one is still long as per my boss and my other boss doesn't like it that much as well.. so the day before yesterday i went again with him to the parlor to re-do my tresses.. well, love it coz i dont need to put thet fxxxn bun anymore plus make me feels so much younger and hate it coz i need to blow dry it after i wash it..

i have a new facebook!

haha..back to the jungle.. well this time i promise myself not to do stupid things with this social networking web..

this post has been deleted due to some reasons

23 degree celcius

my boss has set up the new standard for temperature..coz we are always fighting about AC.. she likes it freeze..so 23 it is.. damn it..i hate this new rule.. (her rules incl. no swapping schedule) why i always got cursed lately by having bxxxy bosses??

i know im still fasting..just wanna tell you im craving for swiss mushroom burger king and es pisang ijo.. for Burger King maybe ill ask my boyfie tomorrow when his back from KUL..and for es pisang ijo, ill wait for another year..

puasa

2010-08-29T15:00:00.000+04:00

ga bermaksud komplen.. tapi susah juga niy puasa di gurun pasir.. selain panas..tamu2 juga pada ngeselin.. palagi kalo kerja midshift gini 12-7 PM uuh cape deyh..pengen namparin orang ajah rasanya..

dibanding bulan puasa taun kemaren di gurun pasir..taun ini gw lebih sedih dan ga khusuk.. taun kemaren khan lebih banyak vacationnya..trus bareng2 anak2.. taun ini juga sama anak2..tp ga tau knapa taun ini lebih ga berasa aja..

are you fasting?

2010-08-11T05:39:00.002+04:00

crazyguy: are you fasting?"
me: ÿeah i ill be fasting today"
crazyguy: äre you a moslem?"(with a distinctive look)
me: prefer to give him a big smile

this conversation happens thousands times since im resides in Dubai.. maybe because my face look like a Filipina girl (most of them are non-moslem *in fact there is some area in the Philippines with moslem majority).. well,, maybe..
the worst conversation happened was they think im lying.. well,,maybe..
and some blah blah quite rude as well.. *i dont have to describe it here*

well, maybe im not good enough to be a moslem.. maybe im doing a lot of sins.. maybe i dont wear proper dress.. maybe i keep skiping pray.. maybe im not doing good things to other other people.. well,, maybe..

well then people can say anything they want.. its not then i dont really care.. but let the God himself judge each and everyone of us..

enjoy your ramadhan!

Ramadhan Kareem!

2010-08-10T01:52:00.001+04:00

i know.. i know.. may last posts are messy..

my apology Madam and Sir Readers for the inconvinient..

lemme explain why,,coooz i was soo lazyyy to finish them up then i just saved them in the draft.. then today out of nowhere, one spirit told me that i should post those posts and start again to blog.. hehehe its reasonable right?? *the laziness ^_^ like not very inspired..

i had sooooo many things goin on lately.. like had a date, got a sweeeeet cinnabon surprise, craved for a doughnut, finished my CE and submitted the report..

-a Cinnabon

i was craving for sweet things lately * according to the frisky (thefrisky.com) if you're craving for something sweet you are not happy ...ummm.. am i?? maybe*

last week i craved for cinnabon.. then i got Sugar Daddy (sugardaddysbakery.com) cupcake from Issa coz Shalika craved for it.. but the Cinnabon, i did not expect come in a very sweet and cute way.. =))

i was finished work then straight up ran to his place.. i was waiting for him to open the door for me..i was waiting for almost 10 minutes, while he screamed from inside thet he was looking for the key.. finally he opened the door, i rushed to his room like always.. but he stopped me the binded my eyes with his hand.. i was panicked i thought something bad *like the room is a total mess* im gonna see.. but he told me to relaxed and led me inside the room then let me open my eyes..

he set up the table *real set up like the napkin with the fork and knife* put the cinnabon, some Moroccan sweet Chebakkia, juice in wine glas, and water.. with the vanilla-smell candle as well.. hehehehehe.. *gimme one good reason why his exes broke him up!!!!!

-a date

then the day after we went for a date in Marrakesh, Shangri La (shangri-la.com).. nice restaurant and there was a belly dancer *sexier than i had seen in desert safari* the pastilla was okay, but i like it much the one that i ate in Almaz.. then i could not finished my lamb shank *tasted like lamb shank, i dunno what was the name*

his main course

nasi kuning pake kismis

my fave: pastilla

hhohoho..this is not a dish! my man's new boots

my main course

-a report

finally i finished the cross exposure and submitted the report to papa and mama.. i kept pending it until it became a real headache for me.. but anyway i managed to finished it..

and now im back here again in the guest services dept *still searching for any vacancy anyway*

Ramadhan is coming up on Wednesday 12th, i started to fast today to replace last year.. my boyfie is still somewhere in Aussie and NZ *miss him soo much*

hope this year will be very blessed --Ramadhan Kareem, everyone!!

yeaaaah its the 3rd day already..still excited being here.. i was about to write what was happened before on the first and second day.. but heheheh i was just came a draft.. buy anyhoo, i will start now..

-marhaba service
to book this service, just log on to the web (they wont gimme the pasw coz im just a trainee =))) then when you fill up tthe timing, just press F9 ( coz it will pick up the flight time that you have entered. after you got the confirmation no, just log it ih the log sheet. the hotel charges wouild be different from Marhaba original rate.

-for ahlan service just send the, the email. then do the same shXX like i mention above.

i was book a table for a guest in Asha's.. spoke to Marvin then got transffered to Roxane, got Jijo on the line then i did the booking with Bala (see, Wafi is always like this.. dont have enough manning to entertain the guest)

then Mr. L again in room no 0825 was asking about the indian nightclub. so i called up these 7 nightclubs

I have not tell you yet im here doing the cross exposure for Concierge for the next 2 weeks start from Wednesday.

I will try to remember what i did on the 2nd and 1st day

Day 2 Friday. July 16. 2010

-Dubai attractions
-7 Emirates in Dubai
-E-concierge should have be done through Reserve instead of Opera.

My trainer was Mark, i learned a lot today and yeah i went to the room again. I came then after i finished duty (i did 12-9 shift btw) he picked me up we went to do my hair in Karama but unfortunately the hairdresser was close then we ended up in Singapore Deli.

Day 1 Thursday, July 15. 2010

Since the chief Concierge does not have any idea about my cross exposure so i asked my boss the schedule, then she said just come for 9-6 shift. This first day was runs smooth i believe, my trainer was Shalika. These were the materials i learned:

-Drop off sheet
-Learn the Dubai Map
-How to do the E-Concierge
-Assistant Manager Logsheet for the handover

I was popped up in his apartment and cooked something for him.

2010-05-28T05:36:00.000+04:00

hiyaaaaaa...

still on the same shift.. i hope is gonna be the last nite shift, i'm off today, and will be doing the PM shift on the next day..

dating a flight attendant

yesterday i was picking him up from the college..and on the way to his place, he was telling me about the training thingy, the assesment, the colleagues and all.. he got a very good feedback from his trainer, the trainer said he is excellent and he would like to advise his manager to promote my boyfey within three months.. *that sounds really great compare to what happens to my work life lately* and then the other advise from the trainer was to checking out the chicks..

hahaha, sounds normal.. but my boyfey is against this idea..

apart from reading articles about the life of flight attendant, im working in hotel industry as well, where the crews are is staying for layover in the hotel im working for.. yeah they are having "such life".. where instant relationship between them (or what-so-called one-nite-stand) is very easy to develop.

anyway, i do believe that he is different *i hope his new job wont change him*

he has values that he hold on to.. he is a decent and honest man.. so yeah i can trust him.

employee party 2010

last time when we had staff party i ran away to Chi www.lodgedubai.com .. i was doing PM shift.. so i went there for break, plenty arrays of food over there.. i just grabbed a looooot of mussels until i want to puke *huuh, i miss mussels* then when i finished duty at 12 i went again to the ballroom.. the music was crap.. so few friends were asking to go to Chi, then...berangkaaaat!!!

bsoknya pacar ngamukk.. *katanya koq ga bilang2 kalo mo dugem, harusnya ngajak doi* hehehe

anyway tar malem anak2 pada mo ke Chi lagi.. udah bilang ma doi, iya tar mlm berangkaaaaattt..

udah lama ga dugem, akyuu senaaang.

bentar lagi pulang, ketmu pacar.. im so excited!!

the best dinner i ever had

2010-05-15T05:59:00.001+04:00

morning!!!

can you believe last nite i went out with my boyfey????

yeah yeah went out, to the bar.. it was a very rare opportunity to have him out to the nightclub or someplace like this.. nightclub or bar absolutely are not his preferences. if i'm not mistaken this is the third time that we went 'out'..the first time was in Plan B (http://www.wafi.com/) *it was not a really night out, it was Wafi staff christmast party,,and it was Plan B..* the second time was Irish Village (http://www.theirishvillage.ae/) , it was his birthday last month.. so this is the third time..

We were having dinner at home, i was cooking burned teriyaki and sweet and sour shrimp.. then

he asked me "babe, lets go somewhere"

"where to?" i answered..

he said "wherever you would like to go, someplace that has a live band.."

and i was thinking nothing about Ramee and the Filipino club that i went last time with Yana, Nuri and Aloy.. then Dennis called up, and he said he is going to this Music Room http://www.dubaimajestic.com/templates/pressroom-2.htm, and i gave the phone to boyfey and we agreed to meet up there after one hour..

i went to this place last time for this Front Office party, the farewell party for the former FOM.. it was sooo boring, coz the band played kinda rock music thingy like ACDC, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple *my father's fave band*, Metallica the songs those i could only digest were from Bon Jovi and Kings of Leon--and i was so devastated bcoz the dj was crap as well *at least i would like to dance*, and i was barely know people because i was still new at that time..

last night he was happy though, because mostly the bands played rock songs.. then the first band regularly plays in Peanut Butter Jam, Wafi Rooftop Garden so he kinda familiared with music they plays..

anyway, gotta go now folks..to do some pending wake up calls rooming list..

4:45 AM coffee

we are doin fine.. jealousy is a good thing in a relationship.

is the feeling that makes us closer to each other.

walaupun hidupku saat ini sedang di puncak kebosanan, but being with him makes me comfy and everything just feels right..

clash of the day..

2010-05-07T05:14:00.000+04:00

ga tau kenapa gw moody bgt akhir-akhir ini kalo menyakut urusan pacar.. emosi gw naek turun.. lagi adaptasi kali ya dengan segala situasi yang baru gini.. idup gw yang sekarang menurut gw 'agak aneh' --dengan menjauhnya gw dengan segala macam jejaring sosial baik itu di dunia maya atau di dunia nyata.. ya kerasa aja ga punya temen deket lagi.. sedih.. tp mo gimana lg..

ya seperti biasa Rani.. ups and downs.. sudah bisa bukan??

i hope this weekend gonna be okay.. eventhough it starts with the unsuccesful Clash of the Titans..

a shoulder to cry on, a chest to lay down, arms to hold

Finally i met him today after i cancelled the Iron Man 2 with papi Karlo ^^^he quiet upset when i saw him this morning.. but what to say, Dennis---was canceling as well, in fact we changed the day from Monday to Tuesday as pe his request,, Navia ----also needs to do the shopping thingy.. my apology papi, i am also need to see my boyfey^^reschedule tomorrow, okay lang??^^^

so i picked him up, then at his place as always we were talking about what he was doing all day, for the pass three days, what was his class all about, how difficult the test was (mabrook, he got 93 score!! congratz, bebe!), and anything about his training thingy..

i was about not going to tell him about my sucks work thingy.. but i don't know how could i be soooo stupid and said, "hey babe, how about if i am going home?" and the drama started..

he looked very upset *ooh, i regreted what i say it was soo selfish* but i started crying, he hugged me and asked me nicely, "what's wrong?, tell me, baby"

then he listened, he said please don't leave me, and try to find something over here..

padahal baru kemaren gw bilang gw bosen ma dya.. but the way he handle me, the way he treat me, when i'm feelin down and low,, just makes me wanna get rid of that feeling for him.. and just makes me wanna love him more^^haha ^berlebihan ga siiiy^^
yaudiiin pokonya begituuu..

mudah2an malem ini akuw baik2 ajaaa... amiinn
