Had a very interesting weekend...

Friday:

Went to PS with my dad and lil bro...I went to the ATM to pay my bills and the machine next to me kept on beeping, and noticed that someone had left his card there. So I gave it back to the bank.

Happily went home.

Then at night a disaster happened. I was on my way with Shelly to pick my friend up, I was driving slowly coz I wasn't familiar with the place, when suddenly, a motorcycle HIT ME! He hit my left side mirror and went flying to the front of my car! Silence...then I slowly asked, "Tabrakan ya?" Idiot.

Shelly got off the car first, I grabbed my jacket (I was wearing a tank top and for sure I wouldn't want the abang2 to have a free show) and I saw this old man being carried to the sidewalk. He's in shock and just laid there. Suddenly the policemen were next to me and began asking questions. I was afraid that the people there would beat me up, but instead, the smiled and said that it was freaking okay. Like, oh the weather was good...okay! One of the police came over and asked me if I wanted to bring the man to the hospital to avoid troubles. I said okay as long as the man was in the police's car, not mine. So we all drove to the hospital and I asked to policemen to stay with me, afraid that the man's family would come and blackmail me, even if the whole thing WASN'T MY FAULT!

So we waited for an hour for the result to come out, to make sure that he's okay. Called Junet and Derry to come and drive us home coz for sure I didn't want to drive that night. The result came out and the doctor said that it was okay and he's free to go home. And I was right, his son asked me, "Jadi kalo 3-4 hari ke depan masih sakit gimana yah? Saya kan dari keluarga ngga ada........" He trailed off and looked at me. I was trying not to beat him up, so I just glared. The police stood up in front of me and began yelling at the son, "Gini yah, udah bagus Mbak ini berbaik hati mau bawain ke Rumah Sakit dan bayarin biaya UGDnya, jadi ya harusnya ini selesai sampai disini."

Son: "Yahh kalau nanti mau biaya urut gini gitu gimana?"
Police: "Tadi kan Bapak denger sendiri kalau hasilnya baik2 saja dan tidak ada apa2."
Son: "Kata bapak saya tadi dadanya sakit."
Police: "Ya namanya orang shock ya pasti dadanya sakit lah!"
Son: "Kalau dia minta urut gimana?"
Police: "Begini yah, ini kalau mau ditelusuri, Bapak itu juga salah nabrak mobilnya Mbak ini, jadi jangan ngarep macem2 lebih dari ini. Jadi masalah ini selesai sampai disini saja. Kalau mau, tuntut2 aja gimana?"
Son: "Ya ngga gitu juga sih, Pak."
Police: "Kalau mau, sini deh Bapak kasih nomor telpon ke saya aja, kalau ada keluhan apa2 lagi ya kontek saya."

So they exchanged their numbers, and the police had my number, too. And we walked out from that hell hole. The police said to me, "Kalau nanti dia ada macam2 ya Mbak kasih tau saya aja biar nanti kita habisin (Go, Police! I adore you), biasa deh, orang2 yang suka cari2 masalah kan otaknya rada2 dangkal."

Thank God the policemen were nice, thank God the people there were extremely nice to me (biasanya kan langsung main pukul...yikes), thank God only my side mirror was broken, not even a scratch on my door!! But STILL, why did I pay for the UGD when it's not even my fucking fault?! Derry asked, "Why didn't you just run away?" and I said, "It's not the right thing to do, isn't it? If I ran, it would look like I was the one who hit him and run!"

Anyway, up til now I've never heard from the old man again. Phew.

Saturday:

My friends and I planned this cooking time at my place. So Shelly and I went to Food Hall to buy the ingredients. We're planning to make Bulgogi and tofu. Actually, the men cooked while us girls were lazying on the sofa hahahaha. After that, we watched Now I Prounounce You Chuck and Larry.

At 1 something, Shelly suddenly had this idea of us going to Blowfish. So like crazy 2 girls who had nothing to do, we went to the club at 2 o'clock, did some shots (God knows how many drinks I had), and at 2.30 we went home! We're there for freaking 30 minutes only!! Went home feeling tipsy.

Sunday:

Planning to stay at home to get some rest. I've been lacking of sleep since Wednesday and been drinking since Thursday. Tired of feeling hangover.

But noooooo........I MUST went out to King of Thai at EX to grab some dinner with Shelly and Gandi (Or issit Gandhi? Anywayyyy...)

9.30 p.m......arrived home and ready to die.

My weekend...............

Planned to meet up with Ivy and Therry on Saturday at 12. Woke up late as usual and rushed to shower and wash my hair. Freaked out when Therry sms-ed me to say that she's stuck in traffic. WHAT TRAFFIC?! I hadn't even left the house!

Thank God I lived near Plaza Indo or they would throw rocks at me =p

Arrived in PI, and Therry's already there. She's like my savior coz if I arrived and nobody had, I would have gone to Mango or Zara to shop......and go broke again. In the end, bought a mag instead.

Finally Ivy arrived with her children then the 5 of us ate at Pepper Lunch. We're enjoying our talks and all and the waiter was like hanging around, taking away our plates and everything. He might as well clean the table and mop the floor, it's no more polite than just asking us to leave. Geez, we get the hint, mister!

So we moved to Excelso where we talked about ghost stories. How did it start? I only talked about the spooky pictures that I took at Pisa Cafe on my birthday dinner. And what next? Yep, all of us share some crazy scary stories about ghosts. I told myself, "Well at least it's midday so it's not so scary!"(note to self: must tell myself that when the night has fallen and I'm under the blankie scared to death)

I had fun seeing them again! Too bad Syl couldn't make it, and Suli had this cupcake decoration thingy...did you win, by the way??? Hehehehe.

I got presents from Ivy, which was a box of chocolate (sorry, no photo coz I finished the yummy treats in one sitting...as in......in....20 minutes! God I was such a glutton) and a tee. Thank youuuuuu ci Ipiiiiii!!!!

I had dinner at The Buffet in Citraland. It was okayyyyyyy....not saying that it's great. The service quite sucked tho. If the food on the tray was gone, the waiter played stupid and wouldn't fill it until you actually had to ask for the food. They even counted how many hamburger meat you took. Seriously!! Too bad I didn't get the chance to eat the ice cream coz at 9 something, they ran out of them and they basically just closed the dessert sections.

But I finally satisfied my craving for ice cream, thanks to Toto who bought it for me in Gelare Cozi qiqiqiqi.....sering2 yah To =p

Nothing much to do on Sunday. I woke up, then went to salon to get Kerastase Treatment, got home and slept all day....and by all day, I meant, I slept 'til Monday morning. Hahahaha...it's a short Sunday for me.

Finally my dad put his feet down and said, "No more meeting people that are set up by THAT auntie! It's just that your mother doesn't even know the guy!! You might as well go introduce yourself to the people you meet on the street!"

YAYYYY DADDYYYY I LOVE YOUUUUUUU!!

So no more sacrificing my weekends to meet with guys.

But the problem is, now my mom is defending herself that she and that auntie were friends, so she knew the guys and she wouldn't introduce me to weird people blah blah blah.

Great, I'm stuck in the middle again.

Sorry for the late update...

So let me go straight to my.........BIRTHDAYYYY!!!! Hehehehehehe.....

At 12 midnight, I was bombarded by smses and telephones. I was in Blowfish, so people saw me running up and down to the restroom and back to my friends to receive phonecalls. Great. I must have looked like a moron. I was thinking of just staying in the bathroom but again, I didn't want to look so stupid standing there.

BUT..........I received the best present ever. Let me tell you what.

At 9 am, my maid woke me up and said, "Mam, there's Mr. Rudi waiting for you outside." Cursing inside on who dared to come so early on Sunday morning bla bla bla, I went outside and opened the door, oblivious that the door was still locked and didn't wonder at all how the hell did my maid who came when she hadn't opened the door yet. And what did I see??

KARAWACHI GUY standing outside my door carrying a chocolate cake and a lighter!!!

And there I was, just woke up, no make up, messy hair, in my PJ, frozen with my mouth open. The first cleverest sentence I could come up with was, "OMIGOD RURU!!!" *yeah yeah, you guys might as well know his name huehhhehe*

So he stayed for a while, making fun of me. Apparently he's been planning all this with Dita and Shelly. Whatever it was.........I was SUPER HAPPY khekhekhe. After that, he had to go coz his friend must go to the Church.

Photo, with me looking very crappy, and him looking very happy coz his plan worked the way he hoped. Must strangle and hug Dita and Shelly at the same time for planning that with him.

PS: Shelly made a bet with me, she said that if Karawachi guy was there for my birthday, I must confess my feeling. I agreed, thinking that he would forget. DAMN!!!!!!!!!

Either life hates me that much, or my mom seriously wants me to get married, or that auntie gets commission for being a matchmaker.....but I still have to go through 3 weekends to meet 3 guys.

I told her that this week I'm fully booked, lying of course, coz I don't want to face her on my birthday week!

So next week I'll be posting more about meeting them, more bitching, more cursing.....

Help me, God....give me patience so I don't kill her.

Mom just called. Told me about ANOTHER guy that THAT auntie was gonna introduce me to.

"Dress nicely, put on make up, and don't bring a friend who's more gorgeous than you!" she said.

Feeling sick to my stomach. Starting to have migraines.

Don't think they're gonna stop until I have a boyfriend.

Thinking to drown myself in the bathtub.

Dear my beloved readers, hari ini gue........DIJODOHKAN!!!!!

It started when I went to SG last time, and my mom commented, "Mami liat, idup loe kok gak jelas gitu yah, luntang lantung. Coba cari pacar trus merit sana, malu tau ama umur."

Zeb!!!!! THANKS, Mom!

So she went on and on about introducing a guy for me, her friend had this boarding place (a.k.a tempat kost) and she knew a very nice guy bla bla bla.....so to shut her up, I replied, "Okay, introduce me. Won't kill me."

Days passed by and I've forgotten about it until last week, her friend REALLY contacted me. She texted me, "CN, please call 123-4567, I'm waiting!"

Imagining the worst, I frantically called her and prepared for any bad news.

"Denger2....kamu lagi single?? Tante kenal satu cowo yah baik loh bla bla bla bla bla...."

OH CRAP!

Meeting was scheduled and I was supposed to meet them today. A bit pissed on why didn't he call me myself. Got into a discussion with Dita about him not knowing being set up.

So today I dragged Dita to PI to meet up with them at 1 pm. Got there earlier, joked with Dita about ANY auntie with a young man. Saw this okayish-a-bit-chubby guy with an auntie walked into my direction. Dita laughed, "Tuh tuh, kali aja yang itu hahahhaha!"

Ironically, it's true.

ANYWAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!! We were waiting for my name to be called and this auntie dragged me into a corner and began to tell me about him. He's nice, planning to buy a house, planning to buy a car, or in her words, "BMW loh!!!!" A bit weirded out, thinking that maybe she assumed me as a matre type. Decided to nod and smile.

Sat inside Sushi Tei, we're at the bar and auntie pushed me to sit next to him. She smiled and winked, "Sana sana ajak ngobrol!"

Starting to get annoyed with HER.

Turned out he's quite a nice guy, a bit quiet tho but dang he ate a lot. Talked about his job, where he came from bla bla blah, while Dita got stuck with auntie. Apparently she's VERY talkative and she began to bug Dita as well. Dita texted me, "You SO owe me!" Replied, "Forever indebted to you."

When he went to the cashier to pay, auntie asked me bluntly, "Orangnya kependekan ya buat kamu?"

Ha?

"Er.....normal sih buat saya...ha..ha..ha..." Thinking of ways to kill her.

He got back and she said, "Enak yah disini, mau sampe malem ngobrol juga gak papa huahahhahaha!!" Imagining her drowning in iced green tea.

So I made up excuses about going home coz my friend was coming and that was fun. Sprinted out of PI as fast as Dita and I could.

In the car, Dita said, "Loe tau gak sih kalo dia nanya gue, 'Orangnya jelek yah?' mau gimana gue jawab? Coba yah jangan nanya yang susah2!!!"

Reached home with a throbbing headache, planning to have a serious discussion with mom.

In conclusion, the guy WAS nice but it's the auntie that I couldn't stand.

Yes....you all may laugh now.

I went to try this new Thai restaurant called Blue Erawan, located in Cut Meutia, around Menteng there. It's near to my office and I was too lazy to go to the mall. So off me, Dita, and my uncle to that place. The manager was from Thailand so he spoke with us in English but the owner was Indonesian, according to the waiteress. I couldn't resist taking pictures.

*Dita's order, Crispy Lemongras Rp. 80.000*

*My uncle ate Tom Yam Koong (small portion!!!), Rp. 60.000*

Overall, the surrounding was beautiful, romantic even. The foods tasted good and yummy. But the price was KILLING ME! I spent like almost 400rb over there. And the parking was crazy. I guess they only had a tiny space, so they just crammed the cars. When we tried to leave, the drivers had to move ALL the cars so that our car could leave. I joked that at least they charge the parking per car, not per hour. Imagine that if we had to wait for the cars to move so we could leave and we had to pay extra for 1 hour 2 minutes.

Would I go there again??

I don't think so!!! Somehow it's just not worth it. But if you want a secluded place where you can talk or have candlelite dinner or to impress a girl...go for it hehehehe.

Hmm...I ran out of things to say hahahahahha....

I'm sorry, did I said, "batal pergi ke PI????"

I just got back from EX, I was supposed to just nibble something, but nooooooooo...I ended up in Shabu Shabu House (YES, AGAIN!), and I ordered Wagyu Beef and I finished them all (except the veggies, of course).

Lama2 gue apply kerja jadi satpam aja kali ya, di PI??

Lately, I feel like I've been living in Plaza Indo.

Let me tell you why.

Friday nite, had dinner with Shelly, Dita, and Hendra in Shabu Shabu House, EX. We're there until 11 pm something.

Saturday afternoon, went to Plaza Indo for the Food Hall and had hair spa in Rudy. Shelly called and asked me to buy movie tickets. After that, I went home to get ready, because no way in hell I'd be bringing Windex and those floor cleaner etc to EX.

At 7 something, Jeff came to pick me up to PI again.......Security looked at me with some familarity in his eyes. Tempted to yell, "Heyyy I'm backk!!!" but afraid that Jeff would kick me out from the car hehehehe.

Had dinner in Exelso with Jeff and Shelly, then when everybody had arrived (there were 12 of us), we all went to Calif Pizza Kitchen to waste time until it's time to watch the movie. Oh, and Karawachi guy came over for a while to say hello, he's there with his friends, too. Me? Smiled all the way like an idiot. Stupid.

Watched Shutter at 12.05 am. It's a remake from a Thai's movie. It's not so bad tho, but considering that I've watched the original, I slumped on my seat, trying not to fall asleep. Finished watching, Shelly, Jeff and I went to eat in Menteng. Reached home about 4 am. ZZzzzzzz
