Manual or Automatic?

Well, last night i was in my colleague's farewell dinner. She's leaving the company, so as usual as part of society (jujurnya sih males hihih...., but she was nice and we're quite close), i joined the dinner at Vienna Buffet Restaurant at United Square Mall.

Anyway, i met most of my colleagues who were scattered across project all over Singapore. While i was chatting with 3 male colleagues, two Indians and 1 Indonesian. One of my Indian colleague was just having his second child baby girl, thus we were discussing about the baby, labor, etc. And, my young Indonesian colleague asked me "Are you going to have MANUAL labor?"
I was like :O , "what do you mean MANUAL?"

I told my young colleagues in Indonesian "maksud loe? normal gituuh?" He anwered "iya, well kalo di indo kan, lahir alami (vaginal delivery he meant) sebutnya manual kan?" hahaahhahahaha and next my Indian colleagues and me was laughing hard.......Well, that was a good one!!! Oh young man, it's called NORMAL, not MANUAL delivery. Well, in case you've heard there's an AUTOMATIC delivery, let me know before my baby due in few weeks huuuh?" hahahahaahah

you drink too much coffee huh?

For new acquaintance who spend a day with me can figure out that coffee is my staple :)
For those new acquaintance who has not know me/talk to me long enough, will not know for exact from which specific ethnic group i came from :p

Today, another week just started, i have a baby sit job the whole week for one of my project's User Acceptance Test. So, my colleagues and users from Malaysia are here and we chat bla bla bla...and since there were 5 malaysians in the room and 2 (thought) sporeans (actually none of us are singaporean!! hahaha, one is Myanmar, and me of course the indonesian). They were talking in 'malay' mixed with chinese, where both the myanmar and myself did not understand. Well definitely, i can understand Malay laaaaaahhh!!! So, one time i said that (honestly) i don't remember the trigger :"> :P


Malaysian: "Ohh..you can understand Malay?"
Indonesian: "Of course laaah....Malay and Bahasa are similar"
Malaysian: "Oh, really?? Are you Malay?"
Indonesian: "No, I'm Chinese"
Malaysian: (Awe facial expressions in shock) " Oh really????" (She came closer towards me)
Malaysian: "Hmm....you drink to much coffee huh ?"
Indonesian: (Laughing out loud) "that's a good one!!!"
Malaysian: "Or do you get much too much sun tan?"



(complexion caused by sun tan? or too much coffee?...you judge!! hehehe )

Indonesian: "hahahaha.....i had this complexion from my dad"
Malaysian: "Don't you want to have change it?"
Indonesian: "Well, i dont have anything to complain looohhh"
Malaysian: "hahaha okei, i'll speak Malay with you after lunch"

Well...that conversation makes my day...!!! what a good laugh

the art of nyungsep

Tuesday, 8 something AM, going down the stairs of Toa Payoh mrt station (karenaaa escalatornya lg overhaull...dan sumpe dah lama benerr ye). Me in my power look today, my fave 9cm heels, baju kerja lebih rapi dari biasa .Soalnya hari itu bakalan mulai project terus gue musti bikin impresi dong ma anak buah gue. Kalo si indonesian yang baru dateng ini bisa gaya dan tahan menderita jalan kaki nenteng laptop,pake sepatu cang and still look good setelah nyampe office.

Anyway, back to Toa Payoh scene. Going down the stairs, with the power look, and reading mypaper(itu loh koran gratisan yang dibagiiin). And....suddenly i heard the lady beside me scream 'aaaahhhh' and err my face was looking at the floor...and my knees hurt.

Tadaaaaaaaa, gue jatohhhhh.........nyungsep........halaaahh.......malu yaaa...:">

The auntie helped me get up, i said thank you and off i went.
Then, kok cenut2....heheh tapi kan malu ya, so gue jalan ajah terus. Eh kok makin sakit ye, dah mana mrt penuhhh banget, so gue berdiri pepet2an ama orang2. Ok lah, ampe kantor, lutut masih cenat cenut. I told Grace about the incident, and she was just laughing out loud.
I told Kriwil, he just 'lalu? maksudnya? terus?' irit yeee.....nasip hiks

Pas pulang, makin cenat cenut gak bisa dilurusin. So kalau turun tangga, gak bisa ditekuk, so dah kayak nenek2 deh gue jalan pulang.

Anyway, intinya sih kalau jalan, jangan sambil baca koran, apalagi pake heels dan turun tangga, kemungkinan nyungsep sangat besar. Kalo dah nyungsep jalan aja terus, walau sakit dan malu. Hare geneee.......JAIM duongsss....

lutju

3 minggu ini and counting, mungkin sampe 4-6 minggu ke depan, Cerlihh my sidekick is staying at my house. Secaraaa....visa buat nyusul hubbynya di Jerman sana belum keluar dr embassy. Juga, mengingat kebutuhan dia untuk tidur setiap hari MINIMAL 10 JAM (ck..ck...ck),sedangkan jika dia tinggal bersama kakaknya di Serpong, tentunya tidak mungkin tercapai karena harus tiba di kantor paling tidak jam 9 pagi. Yah, akhirnya jadilah Cerlihh sebagai penghuni baru di rumah gue. Dan hari ini, sudah 2 kali dia mengucapkan kata 'lutju', pertama dia kagum karena bisa download file dan simpan di desktop --> dibilang 'lutju'. Kedua, mnurutnya email address dia di kantor 'lutju'--> agak2 aneh lagi ck ck ck.......memang dia LUTJU hahaah

Dan tentunya, ini bukan hal baru sih, secara dia sering nginep juga sebelumnya. Well, hari2 belakangan ini jadi lebih banyak tawa and cekikikan sih akhirnya. Soalnya, kan kalo cuma bertiga sama si mbah n adikku yah sunyi sepi aja rumah.

Makin kagum juga sama keantikan sahabatku yang satu ini, udah tau sih keaneh2annnya..tapi makin geleng2 kepala aja. 2 hari yang lalu, dia tiba2 termenung n sepertinya berpikir keras. Gue tanya, 'napa sih?' dan jawabannya di luar dugaan (bikin geleng2 n ketawa sih jadinya) "gue lagi mempertimbangkan, mau mandi, boker atau tidur aja?' Gubraaaaaaaaaaaksssssssssssssssssss...............itu aja dipertimbangkaannnnnnnnnnnn, dengan emosi langsung gue balas ' itu adalah kegaitan yang berurutan, bukan untuk dipertimbangkan mana yang akan dilakukan'
halaaahhhhhhhh...kasian Kuncup....perlu penataran banyakkkkk buat bininya ini nanti huaah ..huaahh..........

Nah, semalam ada kejadian seru lagi. Menjelang jam 12 malam, gue dah nyaris tertidur, and si cerlih jelas sudah lelap ntah di alam mana. Tau2, terdengar dialog2 gaya sinetron di kamar sebelah. Oh dear, si adikku sedang bertengkar lagi dgn pacarnya...padahal kalo gak salah inget, hari minggu yang lalu pun sudah dilakukan. Kok gak bosen ye?hihihi....Yah sebodo deh, tapi kok ini makin lama makin seru, hampir 1 jam masih aja si adik merepet terus..makin heboh, dari ngantuk sampe jadi ikutan deg2an hihihi...Cerlih mengira, ada ceramah dr mesjid di belakang rumah hiahiahai.....ternyata!!! Akhirnya,kita berdua jadi seger, dan cekikikan plus penasaran, ribut kenapaa sih...yah nguping2 dikit laaaa....sungguh lutju adikku itu...

Hasilnya, tadi pagi kita kesiangaaannnn............yah Praise the Lord, jalanan tidak terlalu macet, so sampai kantor pun gak terlalu telat...errr, maksudnya gak terlalu lama telatnya dari telat yang biasa gue lakukan tiap hari hahaha.....

yah, sebentar lagi bisa pulang....kerjaan sih masih banyak..tapi kok gak mood yaa....padahal deadline besok....ahhh que sera sera...tar kali malem kejar setoran aja dr rumah..tokh tinggal copy, paste, replace, save....voila..DONE...
