It’s crocs, it’s sale…
Those two words don’t get along quite often. Once they do, then it’s war…hehe…kidding. However, it did really feel like the zone of war 
There were two crocs sale recently. One was on the 1-2 Nov, the beginning of my two-livin-in-hell weeks, the other one was on the 14-16 Nov, the end of my two-livin-in-hell weeks. Which one did I go to? well, literally both of them. 
I did go to the first one, queuing up for almost two hours just to get into the sale place (which was in a building something in red hill, my fren said it was way too small for an event like crocs warehouse sale) before deciding to go home and forget bout it. Such a waste of time. The second one was hold at expo. The place was more decent than the previous one, and this was the end of my hectic weeks, so I decided to give myself a little pleasure (by shopping) :P.
On the first day (15 Nov) I went there after lunch (thanks to my supervisor who asked me to grade undergrad project on weekend) and it was another queu just to get in the hall. Ish. Fortunately, my fren (my housemates to be exact) was already on the line, and the line moved faster than the first sale’s so I managed to spend several hours choosing five pairs for me, my mother, my father, and my brothers. (yes, the blessing of being single is less people to buy something for_yaks ngiklan, this commercial break is presented by honeyphew :P). It was another at-least-one-hour queu to get to the cashier. So, I gave all the stuff to my housemates (hehe) to catch my class at five. Total damage was around $100…waks…spent on one day only sigh…But it’s crocs anyway…and for crocs $20/pair is way so cheap…
The day after, after going to changi beach park, we (me+my housemates) went there again…I was so dizzy that day so I thought I might just look around people struggling with each other regardless men or women (women mostly 
). While I was wandering around enjoying myself, I caught a glimpse of some apparels that apparently was sold at very2 low price. It was $8 for long sleeve, $5 for short sleeve, and $9/3 for children apparels which were so cute and nice that make me think to buy some for whoever’s children I might have to visit later (not quite a good reason for shopping 
)
I ended up buying two long sleeves for me and my mother and another two long sleeves for my brothers. (again the blessing of being single, focus on ur family only ;)) When we were almost reaching the cashier, we (I) found a pair of red-pinkish shoes left by people who changed their mind in the last minutes. We unintentionally opened the box, and I unintentionally put it on, and it was so damn nice that made me fall in the first glimpse. (yes, I finally able to fall in love in the first look…to a pair of shoes :P) So I decided to buy it and give the pair I bought the day before to a fren (sell it to be exact). This princess only cost $25 compared to the normal price of $115. Day two, total damage: $54. I was so broke, but I really really enjoyed my first encounter of the wild and exciting world of sale freaks :D.
The crowd of the crocs warrior

I wathed an episode of ghost whisperer last Friday. One quotation that really into me is ‘let go of the past’
That’s exactly what I feel rite now. I am really in love with david cook song entitled time of my life. Heard that first time when he won the American Idol. I was cryin when I heard the song (me, n my bitchy melancholic side).
The song is very nice indeed…
I’ve been waiting for my dreams
To turn into something
I could believe in
And looking for that
Magic rainbow
On the horizon
I couldn’t see it
Until I let go
Gave into love and watched all the bitterness burn
Now I’m coming alive
Body and soul
And feelin’ my world start to turn
Nope, my dreams still not come true yet…but it doesn’t matter anyway. AH, I am letttin you go, and lettin me go. Thanks for the treat in Cafe Piza. Thanks for always sharing the laugh, for always making me laugh. Thanks for always stayin by my side, for always believe in me, for always seein my good side despite the evil I’d become. Thanks for keeping me accompanied during my labtek biru days. Thanks for the dream that we were sharing, for the future we were planning, for the past we were exploring. Thanks for always understanding, for never complaining, for never angry with me. Hope you can find someone who can really love you, hope we can always be fren without hurting other’s feeling anymore. I am lettin go AH.
And I’ll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time,
This is the time
To be more than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life
Bet i am just a face in the crowd for you, heh? But, guess what. Hey, LAUT, I stop thinkin of you, stop cryin for you, stop obsessing over you (which I was not, just to make it clearer). Thanks for being the best fren I ever had, for forgiving me after the unforgivable mistake I’ve done, for the ride in Bandung and Jakarta, for keeping my dad accompanied (hours talkin to him, wow, no wonder u’r the only guy my dad ever approved of). Thanks for the gift. Thanks for every call and SMS and email. Thanks for still wanting to be with me during my last jakarta trip. Thanks for sayin ‘jadi khawatir, yakin bisa ga niy han?’, for keeping me accompanied ‘hanya menjalankan kewajiban sosialku, karna udah ada yang menemani malam2mu kan han?’, for preparing me to losing you ‘ga selamanya di sini, kalo aq dah ga di sampingmu lagi, kamu tau harus ngapain kan han?’, thank you…LAUTnya…yang bukan LAUTku…hope you have a very2 wonderful life ahead…I am lettin go LAUT
Holding onto things that vanished
Into the air
Left me in pieces
But now I’m rising from the ashes
Finding my wings
And all that I needed
Was there all along
Within my reach
As close as the beat of my heart
Hally, thanks for lending me the wings that keep me flyin. Thanks for bringing me back to life. Thanks for the thousand experiences, million frens. Thanks for having me and giving me the most wonderful life I ever had. Thanks for all the digits that keep feeding my account. I really enjoying my times with you, however, now we just have to say goodbye. I am lettin go Hally
and I’ll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time,
This is the time to be
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life
For never stop loving me these past 6 years since the first day we met, I am very grateful to AY. It’s amazing how we were alike. Thank you for the HYSYS file, thank you for the discussion, the midnite chatting, the answer even to my most stupid question, for the trip, for the patience, for the wisdom, for the understanding. Sometimes I feel you can read my mind, knowing what word I’d say. Time for me movin on, n time for u movin on. Seriously, we just can wait and see where the life will bring us. It ever drift us apart as well as brought us together. So there’s no point in still stayin still, rite. I am lettin go AY.
And I’m out on the edge of forever
Ready to run
I’m keeping my feet on the ground
Arms open wide
Face to the sun
For giving me a very short experience of how amazing it is to love and to be loved, I thank you AP. For always ready to be my chauffeur, my chef, my bodyguard, my personal lifter. Thanks for being there with me during the most exhausting period of my life. Thanks for the late supper of buyung’s fried rice, for the early breakfast of pempek. We’re still so young yet we’re so old. The life is suddenly turn his face from us. I am not stop running, I will keep running, until may be one day, you catch me here or I catch you there.
I’ll taste every moment
And live it out loud
Yes, yes…I’me enjoyin every second. No regret. I want to live my life to the fullest.
I know this is the time,
This is the time to be
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
Yes…fight for your dream. Run after it, never stop.
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
This is the time
This is the time of my life.
This is the time of my life.
Yes, indeed, this is the time of my life, yeeeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhh….Live your life to the fullest.

Eid Mubarak to you and family.
May ALLAH forgive us all.
(from my beloved professor)
Please forgive me, for any misdeed i’ve done…
Happy Eid Al-Fitr everybody
My second eid, away from home. This second one is nicer though. It may be because I’ve been so get used to live my own life or I’ve just become so numb . I saw some Indonesian Women Foreign Workers crying after the eid prayer this morning. I felt sorry for them. Like me, some of them are allowed holiday leave today, but working far from home, far from family, from children, husband, or parents is a lil bit devastating. Watching this, I kept on dreaming if one day, my country won’t be famous as the largest supplier of the unskilled women foreign workers. One day, they will find a living in their own land. One day, they will have so many times to gather with their family, children, and husband on this special day and on every day of their life.
So, happy eid mubarak for you all unskilled women foreign workers, wherever you are, in dubai, saudi arabia, hong kong, singapore, malaysia, and other countries i am not aware of.
Happy eid mubarak for those who also have to spend it in the middle of jungle, in the middle of the ocean, in the middle of nowhere. Hope the spirit of the holy month and the eid live inside you whereever you are.
Happy eid mubarak everyone.

Have u ever imagined how u feel when ur loved one said to u,
“ u know, I am in love with someone else”
(intermezzo okey…izinkan gw untuk menangis sebentar)
I’m back.
Tergadang gw benci dengan sifat dasar cw yg gampang larut, tapi juga kadang gw benci dengan sifat dasar cowo yang suka pura2 bego ngelarutin. Jadi dengan adanya interaksi antara solute dan solvent, chemical potential mereka yang bisa melewati gibss chemical potential membuat kedua substrate tersebut melarut dengan sempurna. Lol…
Baru2 ini, gw baru ngeliat seorang temen gw yang istilahnya ancur2an. Di tengah shalat malemnya, di tengah sujudnya, bisa2nya dia mengucurkan aer mata untuk seorang cowo yang menurut gw (with all due respect to him and his gal), ga penting banged. Ya iyalah ga penting banged ketika seorang cowo bisa membuat seorang cewe segitunya nangis darah sementara cowonya bae2 ajah. I am so sorry…Kata seseorang gw harus menentukan which ground I want to stand on, jadi ya on her ground lah I will stand.
(dan gw mule melakukan hal yang paling gw benci, nyampur aduks bahasa)
Karna gw tau betapa sakitnya kalau hal itu terjadi. Butuh 4 taun buat gw untuk bisa bangkit lagi, ngehargain diri gw lagi, n berpikir positif n cerah lagi. Karna gw tau betapa buruk dampak kejadian itu buat sang cw. Perasaan ga cukup berharga, keilangan kepercayaan diri, lenyapnya energi positif untuk bisa idup dengan penuh perasaan senyum dan bahagia, sakit dey. At least that’s what I felt. Gw ingedt dulu ketika tiba2 in the middle of the class gw pengen nangis, dan gw keluar, ke WC dan nangis. Untung dulu gw punya sahabat yang suka ngebawain tas gw setiap kali gw black out di dalem kelas.
And for all that reason, gw sangad2 ga mau seumur2 menjadi cewe yang nyebabin kejadian itu. Bikin cewe laen nangis. Gw bertekad kalo gw memulai hubungan ama seseorang, ga boleh ada satupun cewe yang nangis karna itu. And I successfully failed, worse is I hurt an angel, a perfect woman every man will die for. And for that, not only to her, to him I still feel the ultimate and the most regretful feelin I ever had for somebody till now.
So buat temen gw itu (ini temen gw yang gw refer di paragraf kedua yah), gw berharap dengan tulus kalo temen gw itu akan menemukan seseorang laen yang bisa segera menemaninya dengan tulus. Agar tidak ada lagi tangis yang tumpah untuk seorang hamba dalam munajatnya. Agar tidak usahlah dia menjalani jalan yang dulu gw tempuh dan kegelapan yang dulu harus gw jalani.
Untuk gw, Cuma keledai bukan yang akan jatuh ke lubang yang sama dua kali. Dan udah gada cukup waktu dan energi untuk masuk ke dalam zona grievance and moaning lagi. Dan sudahlah cukup lingkaran setan tidak berujung yang udah gw masukin dari 5 tahun lalu ituh. And gal, u shud really let him totally go…enough u dragged him back once into a mess life u had(or have?). Let him totally over u.
Ketika gw berusaha untuk percaya janji-Nya, kenapa tiba2 perasaan aneh ini muncul lagi yah. Perasaan takut sendiri. Well, he’s the only guy who can always make me laugh no matter what. But then, nobody belongs to nobody. Gw harus kuat dan keras ama diri gw sendiri. Maapkan saya yah Pak, ketika saya aga in control dan dewasa, saya tetap jadi orang yang sama, egois dan childish when it comes to u. Mungkin gw harus seperti laut yang tiba2 berubah dingin dan menjauhi gw. Mungkin gw harus bekerja lebih keras dan lebih sibuk lagi biar pikiran aneh2 ini ga muncul2 lagi. Mungkin gw harus totally ga denger lagu2 romantis, ga nonton pilem2 romantis, ga baca novel2 romantis, ga liat hal2 romantis karna gw dengan gampangnya terpengaruhi. (dan saat gw nulis ini sungguh tidak terbayang bagaimana rasanya kalo dia menikah sementara gw menjomblo) Ah…sudahlah, pikiran aneh pergilah. Mungkin emang gw harus lebih keras bekerja lagi, waktu luang nan kosong gini bikin gw berpikiran aneh2. Sigh…
Last romantic tribute from me…my favourite song these days…
Fall For You (Secondhand Serenade)
The best thing about tonight’s that we’re not fighting
Could it be that we have been this way before?
I know you don’t think that I am trying
I know you’re wearing thin down to the core
But hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you over again
Don’t make me change my mind
Or I won’t live to see another day
I swear it’s true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You’re impossible to find
This is not what I intended
I always swore to you I’d never fall apart
You always thought that I was stronger
I may have failed, but I have loved you from the start
Oh, but hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you over again
Don’t make me change my mind
Or I won’t live to see another day
I swear it’s true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
It’s impossible
So breathe in so deep
Breathe me in, I’m yours to keep
And hold on to your words ’cause talk is cheap
And remember me tonight when you’re asleep
Because tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you over again
Don’t make me change my mind
Or I won’t live to see another day
I swear it’s true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
Tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you over again
Don’t make me change my mind
Or I won’t live to see another day
I swear it’s true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You’re impossible to find
@kamar gw, unit gw, di mana gw satu2nya yang tinggal lebaran ini
3.15 in the morning, officially not asleep for more than 20 hours now and can’t even close my mind
Any idea what to do with sleeping disorder?

Just get this from a web.
It is in the character of very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered.
Aeschylus
Our envy of others devours us most of all.
Alexander Solzhenitsyn
Jealousy lives upon doubts, it becomes madness or ceases entirely as soon as we pass from doubt to certainty.
François Duc de La Rochefoucauld
So full of artless jealousy is guilt, It spills itself in fearing to be spilt.
William Shakespeare
Whoever envies another confesses his superiority.
Dr Samuel Johnson
This one is hillarious :D
The venom clamours of a jealous woman poison more deadly than a mad dog’s tooth.
William Shakespeare
I really like this one.
Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.
Buddha
Other nice quotes…
Moral indignation is jealousy with a halo.
H. G. Wells
Not really know it means
It is better to be envied than pitied.
Herodotus
This is also a nice one
Jealousy is indeed a poor medium to secure love, but it is a secure medium to destroy one’s self-respect. For jealous people, like dope-fiends, stoop to the lowest level and in the end inspire only disgust and loathing.
Emma Goldman
Not really know whether it’s true
Envy can be a positive motivator. Let it inspire you to work harder for what you want.
Robert Bringle
And the rest…
My wife’s jealousy is getting ridiculous. The other day she looked at my calendar and wanted to know who May was.
Rodney Dangerfield
Trifles light as air Are to the jealous confirmations strong As proofs of holy writ.
William Shakespeare
In jealousy there is more of self-love than love.
Francois De La Rochefoucauld
They envy the distinction I have won; let them therefore, envy my toils, my honesty, and the methods by which I gained it.
Sallust
Envy is the ulcer of the soul.
Socrates
The damning tho’t stuck in my throat and cut me like a knife, That she, whom all my life I’d loved, should be another’s wife.
Henry Glassford Bell
I like this one. I found it from another sites.
Hey, it’s not me who say this…It’s somebody else Sir
“He that is jealous is not in love.”
This one….just like uumm something I hope I found it years ago…:p would have been a really nice payback
“Plain women are always jealous of their husbands. Beautiful women never are. They are always so occupied with being jealous of other women’s husbands.”
