Where I've been

If you're happy and you know it clap your hands . . . *roar of applause from Bondan*

Saturday Sebel... Sunday Sendiri... Monday Maen di IceLand... Tuesday diem di kosan, bolos karena hujan. . semuanya sendirian... temenku ke mana ya?? kok nggak pernah sms?? Ya udah, aku mikir, I guess they're doing their own thing now. Terus Rabu kuliah... kuliah nggak ya?? aku lupa.. kebanyakan bolos akhir" ini.. hehe... anyways.. I met up with Vando at Inculs after Grammer class.. ternyata dy juga nungguin smsq, n dy juga bosen aja sendirian di kost.. haha.. jadi aku nanya... 'kenapa ga sms??!' Anyways, the whole thing is kinda confusing.. dasar babi! haha... tapi yg penting, Wednesday was the best day ever! haha.. well.. maybe not ever.. but in a long while.. aku 'pelacur' sama Vando di Inculs, abis itu, aku balik ke IceLand dulu... 

Ok.. hold it there for a second.. there's something I missed...
I got offered a job!!! =D sengennyaaaa!!! haha ... you'll never guess where... yep.. thats right... at IceLand!!! haha... On the 10th December, almost all of the coaches and students left for bandung, there is a skating competition there.. so they are understaffed. I was offered to become a coach!! ... ME! COACH ice skating!! haha... kok bisa ya??! baru belajar 5 minggu. Kayaknya mereka ga mikir dengan jelas dulu deh! haha. anyways... I drew up a time table with them... turned out to be more hours than i expected (35 per week! haha) but I was still happy, I mean, I play there often enough. so why not work while i practice my skating? anyways... the next day I brought the timetable to uni, n double checked with Sinta, ternyata nggak boleh.. Even tho I wouldn't be getting paid (not allowed cause of the visa) I still didn't get permission to work... =( .. not so bad I guess... cause at the time I was also thinking "I'll have no time for friends.... tp emang mereka masih mau ketemu ma aku??"

ok... so back to the story... I went to IceLand, to apologize for not being able to work.. .they were cool about it. Just hung out there for a bit, kinda boring now tho, cause everyone is in bandung!!! haha.. btw GOOD LUCK GUYS!!!! BRING BACK THE GOOOOOOLLLLLDDDD!!!! =D 

another side story... hehe... Since Ice skating lessons, i was always there alone... which didn't bother me, cause I need to practice anyway. so I could still have fun skating, without distractions.. but anyways, now, after a few weeks, I've gotten to meet the other skaters, n the coaches, and it turns out, they're all really great people!! just sux that I make a bunch of new friends one month before I leave!! haha.. but maybe I'll see them at an international ice skating competition next year! haha

so where was I again?? ... oh yeah.. so, after IceLand I went back to Vando's kos n we went n ate... kayaknya... haha.. when do we not eat?? we're always eating... so that's the next logical step right?? then just hung out at Vando's place..  just there for maybe an hour hanging out... the usual.. maen laptop, maen kojotan etc etc.. haha

THEN!!! SUDDENLY!!! you wouldn't believe what happened!!!! .... got you're attention again? hehe... Vando got an sms from Amel (ciiiiieeeeeeee) she wanted to play bowling... sif... so off we went.. Hadn't played in AAAAAAAAAAAGES. Heru had never played before, but he picked it up heaps quick! we suggested he join the bowling team! haha (there is always so much stuff to do here.. and it always seems so easy (maybe cause its cheaper here) but yeah, anything you wanna do, you can do it here, Just made me realize I'm missing out on so much stuff back home!!! I need to get out more! I need to get involved more!! ... Need to do SOMETHING back home!!! even if it means i gotta get a job) (sorry... side tracked again.. hehe)

bowling.. right... so its 5pm... I should have just finished class... (but I didn't go... damn takayama sensei!!!) I get an sms from Laksmi... SHHIIIIIIIIITTTTT!!!! how the hell could I forget?!?! I was supposed to be teaching her how to ride a motorbike tonight!! .. but was only half way through the first game, we'd already paid, and I got a lift with Amel, so couldn't leave straight away... luckily Laksmi had her laptop tho, n she said it was cool if she just goes online at uni while she waits =S so after bowling... straight to campus.

then something STRAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNGGEEE happened!!
Laksmi sat on the front of the bike... alone at first, cause its hard to balance with two people for beginners... anyway.. just as she started the bike up, this guy appeared... looking all confused.. he was asking where gunung kidul (or something) was... I had no idea.. either did laksmi... pokoknya kita cuman tau t4nya itu jauuuuhh... his story was strange... said he caught a bus from there to monjali... n then lost his wallet, walked from monjali to jogja to ask someone how to get home..... now why wouldn't he ask people in monjali??? why come to jogja?? on foot no less!!! ... everytime we asked him something he had to think long and hard first... strange kid... so we figured it was a hoax n he was just trying to get money... to get rid of him, i said I'd take him to the trans jogja bus stop, n he could ask someone there... he refused at first, but didn't leave... so i insisted. I dropped him off n he just stood there with a blank look on his face again... "itu lho mas... masuk sana... nanya mbanya di dalam" aku bilang... he stood there again... bewildered.. the look on his face was like he had come to the city for the very first time from some deserted village, like he had never seen a bule or buildings or cars before.. his expression just so blank... well... what more could I do... he turned and walked away n i went back to pick up Laksmi.

Well.. after that strangeness, the motorbike lesson went quite well... as she started out, it wasn't so promising... she was wobbly as all hell!! .. but it didn't take long for her to get the hang of it.. so after she did a few laps of campus on her own, i jumped on... took a bit of getting used to as well... (and it doesn't help that I'm heavier than her.. hehe) a few more laps, n then we went out on to the main road (all but one of the campus gates are closed at night, so the roads in campus are quiet as.. perfect for beginners) she did fine, up until we came to a series of really high speed bumps in pogung baru (have to admit tho... those polisi tidur are quite difficult to maneuver over, specially when you've only ridden a motor for maybe an hour)

done with the motorbike lesson, went back to Vando's place again, dropped of my bike n waited till we were picked up by Amel (dy bawa mobil.. hehe) (shit it seems like I did a lot on wednesday! I'll try to finish up quick!.. hehe)

So dinner at muara kapuas... A great place, cheap as hell (or used to be til the price of everything rose Rp500). after dinner ngobrol lagi di tempat vando sama yg laen. terus aku anterin Miss Jogja pulang. 

udah.. kayaknya.. I mean, the day was nothing special... but its the first time in ages that its been really great to hang out with friends... I guess I've had too much on my mind.. and so have the others.. so its everyone's fault... tenang aja... bukan salah ikan lu yg mati Ndo..


THURSDAY:
wasn't too interesting.. but still a good day none the less.. Even if it did start out with me being sick.. I have a sore throat... maybe too much laughing caused an infection??
went to campus for a while, wanted to steal some water.. hehe.. but the galon was kosong.. so couldn't, then practiced ice skating for a couple of hours, ate with Vando n then hung out at his kos it had been ages since we just hung out... so even tho we weren't doing anything.. just sitting there talking while he played some game on his laptop...lol.... it was good to just catch up again. Just felt like before, when none of us had anything to worry about, nothing preoccupying our minds. We could just chill. Even if it did make me half an hour late for my meeting.. tapi santai aja.. aku ga peduli.. haha. 
Sempat sedikit sebel.. haha... nungguin Vando lagiiiii... tp gpp... after the meeting went home, cause still no sms. . was supposed to be meeting up with vando, heru, amel n meme lagi. so I smsed n ternyata mereka udah di Code... kenapa ga sms dari tadiiii??! .. ya udah, gpp... aku blom maem, jadi maem dulu.. n beli obat.. abis makan.... aku malas nyusul... kayaknya mereka udah senang ber4 gitu... jadi aku malas ke sana... aku nonton aja di kos... trus 1 stengah jam kemudian, vando sms "kamu dimana?" ... aku bilang aja aku tadi ketiduran, n ga jadi. ... dy basa basi aja kayaknya.. haha.  jadi ya udah, biarin mereka ber4 cciiieeeee!!!! cciiieeeee!!!! ihiii!! wkekeke

NOW! ... I'm still freaking writing!!! haha... "when is he gonna shut up?!?!" you're thinking... Even tho my throat was killing me this morning.. I feel way better now =) so I think I can still make it for my ice skating lesson... I've already started freestyle moves loh!!! 

ok.. thats it from me... I swear... Just wanna say that the last two days have been awesome! I dunno what's different... but I hope it stays this way =D
