Day Two PM

Posted on the January 28th, 2006 under Out and About by

It was a hot day. I dozed off in the car. The Graha Medika hospital was at a place, according to my Honeybunch, called Kebun Jeruk and it was quite a distance from MTA. Eventually, after a few drips of saliva at the back seat, we got there and went straight up to Dafy’s room. Dafy was admitted for contracting typhoid. Mind you, it has nothing to do with those Typo Errors that you made in your documents. So I was told. What a relieve…

So, we chatted for a while and we ate his bananas. I mean the bananas that was given by his office. I didn’t know why Diah ate it but I was feeling a little bit hungry at that time and the bananas looked really delicious! Furthermore, a sick person would not have the appetite for anything and Dafy is not a person who enjoys fruit. Too bad for him, good for me!

Diah and I left Dafy and Ika there and we took a cab to Planet Hollywood. I was expecting to watch the Chronicles of Narnia but it was no longer showing. After much hesitation, we watched the Karate Dog movie. If you have any other better things to do, do not go and watch this movie. Really! Diah fell asleep during some parts of the movie. Apart from the movie itself, she was probably tired after shooting some bad guys, motorcyle racing and car racing before the movie. That must be it! Okay! Like I just said: “Don’t watch that movie!”

After the movie we went for a bite at the Planet Hollywood’s cafe. We had a bowl of chicken soup and a burger served with fries. The serving size was very reasonable and they tasted great too. We cleaned up the bowl and plate in no time! Then we took a cab home.

Something weird happened to the cab that we took. We asked the driver to stop by a Nasi Padang Restaurant and wait for us since we needed to buy some food for dinner. We went in and waited for our order. I saw the taxi started to move away and I thought he was just probably turning around so that it would be easier to head back to the hotel. When we got out, the taxi was gone. We haven’t paid him and he was gone! My only deduction was that he must have had a bad case of diarrhea and he could not wait any longer. Too bad for him.

That night, we had a quite dinner in the room. The nasi padang that we bought was simply fabuluos! I loved it! Diah ate more than she normally did! It must be good. That’s the end of day two.

What's The Date?

Posted on the January 26th, 2006 under Daily Living by

I was laughing my some parts of my body off after reading Zaiha’s a.k.a Boo’s entry titled Today is NOT 25th!!!!. How could she make such a mistake? I was asking myself while trying to cure the laughing epidemic. Yes! I know it’s not nice to be amused at someone else’s predicament but I was simply tickled pink. Even though this bear is somewhat brownish in color. Well, I am supposed to continue with my stories in Jakarta but I have to write this one first.

I woke up this morning all prepped up for a 9:30am meeting at a client’s office. I timed myself so that I would be there about 5 or 10 minutes early. The traffic was not that bad this morning and by the time I got to the parking, it was only 9:15am.

Confidently, I walked up to the meeting area and was greeted by the ever smiling guardian of the meeting rooms. I went over to the designated room and I assumed that I was early. Wait a minute! It’s already past 9:25am and these people were not known to be late for meetings. They are those meeting-holic breed or something and most of the time I would be the last to turn up.

9:30am. There was still no one else but me. I took a peek around the corner and the guardian of the meeting rooms saw me. She smiled. Doink! Then I remembered about Zaiha’s entry above. Doink! I turned on my notebook and pretended that I was busy with something. So that if the guardian were to come over, she would not disturb me. I opened up my mail and look at the meeting arrangement. It said,

Friday, 27th January 2006. Friday? Friday! Doink! That would be tomorrow! I checked my schedule on my handphone and it was marked on the 27th as well! “Holy Berries! What am I doing here?”

Macho-control mode ON! I must pretend that I was doing something for another minute or two. Then I shut down the notebook and coolly walked towards the exit. The guardian of the meeting rooms smiled. I must get out of there before my client caught me. That would not be acceptable. Once out, I sms-ed my Lilttle Lion and she replied:Lhaa… Km ni… … … Cian sayang aku”. I called Zaiha. We laughed! We agreed that both of us are normal people after all!

Thank God that no one that I know saw me. The guardian of the meeting rooms, the one that was ever smiling, would never remember me. I hope.

Moral of the story: No matter what you do, Friday would always come after Thursday!
