I hate goodbyes

I hate goodbyes.

And I’m not very good at it. It sucks. A lot.

Saying goodbye to people you’ve known for some period of time is not exactly my specialist. Even if I know that I’ll see them again sometime soon, I still deteste it.

One of my flat mates has to move away because she has a new job which is really far from our flat. We’ve known each other for about 8 months. And we live together, which means we see each other all the time and you get used to seeing her every day, knowing her habits, laugh at her jokes, chit chat together, cry together when there are troubles. And knowing the fact that she won’t be here anymore makes me sad.

Our flat is small, and the people are great. We spend a lot of time in our cute tiny living (and dining) room. We celebrate our birthdays by eating and doing our famous festive food fight which always attracts the neighbor. It’s a lot of fun.

With that kind of closeness, when one leaves, sadness takes over our flat though it always leaves us (and the one who leaves) fabulous memories.



The one who will leave us is Dewi, the girl with a pink piggy in her hand.

Book Review: Eat Pray Love

Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia by Elizabeth Gilbert


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is probably the best book I've read in 2009.
Really great and life-changing.
Makes me wanna run away to Italy and eat all those gellatos!! And from this book too, I learned the beauty of Indonesia, my country. I even went to Ubud, Bali to see its loveliness described in Gilbert's book. And it's true, Ubud is so far my favourite place in Bali.

Blackberry Madness

Sometimes I wonder...

Why people are willing to sacrifice anything to get the lastest gadget.
Like this blackberry madness spreading accross my office and my friends.
Whether it's spending almost all your wage or buying a second one, whatever it takes to have this popular gadget.
What for, I don't get it.

I like gadgets, but I'm not so crazy over them that I would do anything to get them.
At this point of age and my life...I just don't think BB is necessary for people like me.

One friend actually admitted that BB was bought just for 'style'.
Perhaps, only for recognition from other peers. I didn't realized peer pressure still existed in my age.
But now I know peer pressure never actually leaves you.
No matter what age you are.
