Krazy Monday

Monday, January 16, 2012

Wow! This was such a krazzzy day!!!

Huff! It felt like a real Monday! So busy with the crazy traffic.

This day started pretty awful.

I’ve made a plan yesterday. I planned that today I’ll wake up at 5, pray, do some exercise, helping Deany and Adrian get prepared for their business, and then I’ll get prepared myself. For me myself, today was the first day of meeting in a new office, with new friends, and new atmosphere. Dana has decided to move our team to the new office this year. And today we were trying to come and see one of the candidates. The meeting started at 9.30 am. So, I’ve gotta wake up early so I could be there on time.

Deany’s gotta leave really early to Kramat Jati. Today she started to have an internship in the RS POLRI (National Police Hospital). She woke up really early and Ella picked her up at 5 am. Adrian woke up so early too because he’s gotta go for duty. The Garuda car picked him up at 7 or so maybe. And me, I didn’t wake up as I’ve planned.

I just woke up at 8, I guess. And I got panicked. Everybody has left the house. And Adrian forgot his passport! Today he’s flying to other city. But tomorrow he’s gonna have flight abroad. He’s gonna need his passport, and he’s got no time to go home. So I’ve gotta take the passport to the airport tomorrow.

Anyway, woke up really late made my early day a mess. I didn’t think clearly. I couldn’t think, to be honest. I needed to take care of some house business, so when I left the house, it was almost 9 am. I took a cab, wishing that I wouldn’t be late, but... oh, My, God! The highway was sooo… damn… crowded! It’s been crowded even since the toll gate! And by crowded I mean like real…crowded! Those cars in front of my taxi was like stopping. They didn’t move! We didn’t move!

So, not only still getting there late, but I also had to spend lots of money for the damn taxi. I was really, really pissed. At myself, actually. Because I was so stupid. I mean…, first I woke up late, because I’ve been awake at 5 am, but then I fell asleep again after turning off my phone alarm. Then I took a cab which is so damn expensive, but on a second thoughts, taking the bus would not do any different. I was like, “Oh my God! Why are you so stupid!”

Then my friend asked where was I, and he said something about I didn’t take this meeting seriously, and I got pissed at him while I actually realize that he did nothing wrong.

I was so pissed when I was in the taxi. But then I came to the meeting. Mrs. Jeannette Sulindro was the speaker. And she was soo… amazing! So, so, so amazing! I always adore Mrs. Jeannette Sulindro. She’s a great woman. When I heard her speaking, I forgot about how pissed I was. She just cheered me up. And I smiled for the rest of the meeting. Thank God that I work in this incredible industry with incredible people.

From my old office, there were me, Dana, Putra, Hani, and Mr. Benjamin Sulindro, Mrs. Jeannette Sulindro’s little brother. He’s also a great person. I adore him.

After the meeting, Dana changed his plan to do some other try outs in other candidates of new offices. He decided that this one we saw today is already great. He decided to move his team there.

After the meeting, Dana took me and Putra to the Karet bus stop. Me and Putra took a Trans Jakarta bus. Putra went to Ratu Plaza to catch Trans BSD bus, and I went to Blok M to meet my prospective client. But…, I couldn’t reach her. So finally I went home. And because I was wearing a very mini skirt, I didn’t wanna take the bus. I went home by another taxi, and met another crazy traffic. Damn! Travelling in Jakarta really took a lot of time and money! I hate Jakarta, to be honest. I hate big city.

Anyway, I took a rest for a while. And by while, I mean really, really short time. I didn't really take a rest. I had to wash some of my clothes. Then I had to go again. I had to shop, because I was asking some of my friends to come and said I would cook for them. So I went to my BFF, Dinda’s house to give her something for her birthday. Well, I brought her lychee pudding and coffee pudding. They were my experiments. I hope she likes it.

The problem was, I was trying to go through the shortcut to her house. But it was the first time I went by myself. Usually I always go to Dinda’s house through another way, the main road. But I did the stupid thing for the 2^nd time today. So, instead of getting there faster, I took a little more time to get there.

Anyway, when I was in Dinda’s house, suddenly Ade called me, saying that she was already in front of my house! Oh my God! Poor Ade…

I went home as soon as possible. But the traffic was really, really crazy the whole day! It was so crowded near the toll gate of Bintaro – BSD. Then I still had to buy some couple of things, and also go to Bintaro Trade Centre (BTC) to book a seat for tomorrow morning. Oh, I’ve got to be at the airport by 7 am or so, and it means I’ve got to take the x-trans that departs from BTC at least by 5.30 am. But all the seats for 5.30 and 5 were already booked, so I’ve gotta take the bus that depart from BTC at 4.30! And it means I’ve got to be there at 4.15 am! Oh my God! How am I supposed to do that?

So I finally went home. I went to Yulin’s house to pick her up. But she told me to just pay the taxi there, because she’d drive her own car. So I went home with Yulind. Ade’s been waiting for me for one hour. She almost leave when I arrived at home.

So, finally I started cooking my favorite fettuccini carbonara. While waiting, I told Yulind and Ade to enjoy the puddings. There were coffee pudding, lychee pudding, and lychee yogurt pudding. After tasting the puddings, Ade and Yulind helped me out with the fettuccini. Ade helped me grate the cheese. I chopped the onions. Well, actually Ade did help me a lot.

The pasta was already boiled with butter. When all the ingredients were ready, we almost started to cook. But then I opened the fridge and realized that I was run of milk. So I went out to buy some milk in Circle K. I was about to take my bike, but then my other best friend, Lin Fie came. So I went to Circle K with her car, bought milk, then came back home.

I cooked with Ade while Lin Fie and Yulind were waiting in the dinning room.

And finally we enjoyed the food together! Nyummy! Everybody loves the food.

We ate, had a easy pep talk, laughed, really had fun.

Ade left earlier than the others. It was 9.30 pm. Yulind and Lin Fie stayed for a little longer. They helped me washing the dishes. It was really nice.
