Morning Greeting

"Good Morning Father!"

One line sentence and two regrets in mind.

First, I was expected he would reply "Good morning my child, God bless you and your family" and touch my forehead or cheek or whatever and I bow.

Second, if only his crime was a bit more dramatic (like a child molester or a rapist) so that I can add some spices in my dear blog. I can simply write "OMG, I'm so scared to go out of my room... he's there.. the rapist!"

----
Father xxxx was freed from Changi Prison on Thursday and placed on home detention scheme.The 59-year-old priest will spend the remaining eight months of his jail term at his brother's home.

He will only be allowed to travel from his home to his workplace at law firm Cxxx Nx & Pxxxxx, where he starts work on Monday. He can stay outdoors only from 9 am to 6 pm to go to work under the home detention scheme.

xxxx was sentenced to 7 1/2 years jail in 2004 for misappropriating $5.1 million in church funds while serving as a parish priest at St Teresa's Church. He has served about four years and earned a one-third remission on the term for good behaviour.

Cxxxx Nx & Pxxxxx last week received clearance from the High Court to hire xxxx as a litigation-support executive. The court's approval was necessary because he will be joining the law firm as a former offender. In his new job, xxxx will not be allowed to handle clients' monies.

Nostalgia si Kerempeng, Mamah dan Kakak Tajir

Berasal dari keluarga yang biasa biasa aja membuat kami tidak pernah mendapatkan segala sesuatunya dengan instan. (mulai deh ngembeng)

Waktu kecil dulu, Barbie adalah hal yg sungguh hip. Berapa boneka yg saya punya? 3 maksimal. semua kado. Beli sendiri? No way jose! It's just too damn expensive for a stupid yet beautiful toy. Rumah Barbie? Tidak punya. Mobil Barbie? Apalagi. Tapi saya punya meja rias Barbie (tentunya hadiah) yang sekarang masih ciamik dilungsurkan ke Maritza (tp dia tampak enggan memainkannya :( oh nooo)

Agak gede sedikit. Attari sungguh ciamik. Saya cuman main paling banter 4 kali. Si Abang dapet lungsuran dari seekor bule dan beberapa hari setelahnya.. wuzz wuzzz rumah kami terbakar :D
Tapi, punya SEGA sih. Ini karena udah kepincut berat dan termimpi mimpi. Di dalam mobil, memberanikan untuk memecah keheningan "Pak, Nita beliin SEGA dong" 5 kata ajah.. ehheheh

Kelas 6 SD, saatnya roller blade memegang peranan. Kepinginnya gila gilaan. Sampe dijabanin panas 3 hari. Sang mamah dengan polos bertanya ke Prof. Moeslichan. Prof ini dia lg pingin banget roller blade.. gimana menurut Prof.. aman gak?" tentunya diamini dengan senyum simpul nan bijaksana. Setelah itu, si gadis kecil kerempeng pun melingkari iklan california pro di meja Bapaknya. Dan wuzzz... meluncur (hanya di dalam rumah) dengan semua pengaman bak Robocop. Oh iya, demi efisiensi, si Kerempeng kecil membeli ukuran kaki 44. Mengapa? Tentu agar si Big Foot di rumah bisa juga merasakannya. Baek ya bok guee...

Sang Mamah, paling tau yang si Kerempeng mau. Ketika yang namanya jam Baby-G begitu tenarnya. Si Kerempeng bahkan tak punya niat sedikitpun untuk meminta.. Terlalu mahal untuk sebentuk jam tangan. Tapi, lagi lagi Mamah bisa mendeteksi. Mendengar adanya launching G-Shock di Pondok Indah Mall, si Kerempeng diajak si Kakak Tajir (krn selalu ada duit utk jajanin doi) kesana dan didorong sang Mamah. Sang Kakak Tajir bertanya.. "bagusan yang kuning-biru apa biru muda ta?" "mm ga tau deh Mbak.. yg biru muda feminin ya.. kalo gue sih sukaan yg biru-kuning lebih macho"..... Guess what happened? Nah... it's too predictable. Sang Kakak Tajir membawa si biru-kuning ke cashier dan membayarkan Rp. 350.000.. Si kerempeng melongo. Ternyata ada kong kalingkong antara Sang Mamah dan Sang Kakak Tajir.

Beranjak ABG, Si Kerempeng dan Si Kakak Tajir memiliki sifat yg sama dalam memilih mobil. Kami hanya memilih warna. Pokoknya yg paling murah aja. Yang penting bisa jalan :D Rebutan mobil? Tidak pernah ada tuh...

Beranjak dewasa, tiba saatnya memilih milih baju kerja. Saya, yang tetap kerempeng, dan Mamah bergerilya di Mall. Melongo melihat sebuah blazer Invio coklat dengan ikat pinggang kulit yang tertempel permanen berbentuk pita. Melongo. "Keren bgt ya mah!" "Iya... tapi mahal ya". Pulang dengan tangan kosong. Tapi benar adanya, yang namanya jodoh ga akan kemana. Akhirnya si coklat kebeli juga. Dan hingga kini menjadi andalan utk interview. Membelinya? Benar2 butuh keringat. It's already been 5 years and it's still performing hella good!

Hahhh.. Malming malming nostalgia nih judulnya hahaha. I lop yu Mamah and Kakak Tajir!

Lembur oh Lembur

Lembur*.
I believe, nobody likes it. Especially when you won't get any overtime money.
But, trust me.. Go to the young lawyers' group.. and you will find them complaining plus showing off. Stay a little bit longer there, and they will talk about the complicated transactions and how they deal with that. Okay, hang on there.. please stay for another few minutes.. if you were drown to the very green one, they will talk about their rates. Talking a lil bit further about rates, I know this guy, a lawyer working in the most prestigious firm back in Jakarta. One day, this Lawyer went to the office using TransJakarta buss. His decision of taking mass transportation in J-Town made hm have to wait for an hour to get the bus. What happened next? He shouted angrily to the poor Mbak-Mbak. "Mbak ini bisnya lama banget sih??? WAKTU SAYA BERHARGA!! SAYA DIBAYAR PER-JAM!!" ---------------------------------- sigh, excuse him.
.
Lembur.
I dont like it. But, somehow people thinks its cool. Even if u talk to their family, the templates will be the same. Complaining plus showing off.

Don't get me wrong. I am young. I am the greenest. But I'm so not gonna complain and show off at the same time. I prefer to do them in inseparable manner :D

Let's draw some lines:

  1. you are so damn important that the firm asks u to extend your office hour;
  2. the thing u r doing is deadly urgent and also.. confidential. sst..sst..;
  3. u r tired as hell, but u love ur pay;
  4. which means it's huge;
  5. and everybody would now that when ur pay is good, there would be no OT money.

ha ha ha

Why does this happen?
Indoctrination.
One of my professors once gave us an advice during his lecture.. "Ladies.. don't do lawyering. Why? Because pregnancy would be harder for lawyers than other profession. Why? Of course... because you work until very late.. and you will be supplied good coffee beans blended in a good coffee machine.

Take a look at the below conversation between a boss and his/her new lawyer.
B: How are u?
E: Great, I went home at 11 pm
B: Ah.. that's early! sometimes balbalablabla

Or this:
Job Interview
Prospective Boss: Are u willing to work late?
Prospective Lawyer: Of course Sir.
PB: Good.. because here, you might stay at the office like for.. hmm.. two days.. (laughed with pride)

No wonder!

*)based on my observation and of course.. generalization. Peace yo!

NKOTB



I knew it! Jordan and Joey are the stars. Back to the years when those new kids were the most gorgeus creatures on this planet, li'l nita candy-eyed Jon. Why? Of course becos he looked wise. and also (almost) the oldest member. and also he's Jordan's big bro. Who's urs?

I remember watching NKOTB vids at my cousin's house. We put one pillow each at our backs. Prepare for the scene when Jordan would open his shirts, screamed... and fainted at our pillows. Not being exaggerate, but we did it like 7 times a day.

Ngembeng Ngembeng...

Sungguh malaaasss...
Mau nangis ajah..
Mau diundur aja Mamaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...
I want it to be specialll..
Bukan beginiii
ANJROOOTTTT!!!
*ngembeng ngembeng

Alio e Olio

Parah jek!! Bangga bener nih.
Bak ibu rumah tangga.
Bangun pagi, rebus spaghetti, kecilin api, pupi. heuahehuae.
Selesai dari kamar mandi, spaghetti sudah al dente, motong bawang, cabe, daon jeruk (!!) dan tuna. Masak. Jadilah sebentuk alio e olio*! Sarapan, mandi, dandan, tuang sisa sarapan ke kotak makan supaya berganti tugas menjadi makan siang... Hiyaaat!! Berangkat kantor!!!
Parah parah! Tjanggih!

*) serah mau nyebutnya alio e olio, aglio olio, oglio olio.. but the first one is the cutest.

The Girls and the Media

This is the Prime Minister of Ukraine. Yulia Tymoshenko.

A possible candidate for the President of Ukraine in 2010

One of the 3 most powerful women on earth according to Forbes Magazine.

C-R-A-Z-Y!


I planned to do some comparisons with this Indonesian female leader. Mien Sugandhi. Why? because both have their signature hair do. But Uncle Google does not have her picture. Ah too bad!


Yulia used to put her hair loose. But prior to year 2002, brilliantly, she put Ukraine's traditional braids as her signature style. Strategic move for a female PM candidate. Her opposant told the media that the braid was all fake. On the next day, she held a press conference and when the question was raised, she just laughed and casually losen her hair and put of the bobby pins. On that moment, she's the winner.


Mien Sugandhi was Menteri Urusan Peranan Wanita some years ago. She also has her signature style. Eye make up melok melok and a hella big hair. Nothing too dramatic in this story. I happened to see her house, and she has her own salon next to her carport.


Megawati Sukarnoputri is of course uncomparable to Yulia.


Sri Mulyani Indrawati is comparable as she has the elegance yet smart aura. But frankly speaking, Yulia is still the winner

Or Miranda Gultom? Nah.. she put way too much effort.




In the end, I came with the conclusion that presumably, Indonesian medias are more interested on capturing Sarah Azhari when she returned from the Holy Land than the more powerful figures.
