In God's Hand

2008-08-12T09:31:00.001+07:00

I looked at your face I saw that all the love had died
I saw that we had forgotten to take the time
I, I saw that you couldn't care less about what you do
Couldn't care less about the lies
You couldn't find the time to cry

We forgot about love
We forgot about faith
We forgot about trust
We forgot about us

Now our love's floating out the window
Our love's floating out the back door
Our love's floating up in the sky in heaven
Where it began back in God's hands

You said that you had said all that you had to say
You said baby it's the end of the day
And we gave a lot but it wasn't enough
We got so tired that we just gave up

We didn't respect it
We went and neglected it
We didn't deserve it
But I never expected this

Our love floated out the window
Our love floated out the back door
Our love floated up in the sky to heaven
It's part of a plan
It's back in God's hands
Back in God's hands

It didn't last
It's a thing of the past
Oh we didn't understand
Just what we had
Oh I want it back
Just what we had
Oh I want it back
Oh just what we had

~~Songs by Nelly Furtado~~

Sisi gelap gw..

2008-07-17T18:34:00.001+07:00

Ini adalah pertanyaan yang gak bisa tanyakan langsung kepada teman - teman gw... Pernah gak kalian melihat pertengkaran orang tua kalian? Mungkin sebagian menjawab iya.. Mungkin orang tua kalian akhirnya bercerai dan kalian harus hidup terpisah... Mungkin juga kalian tidak punya ayah dan ibu sehingga tidak tahu bagaimana menyakitkan melihat orang yang begitu kita cintai bertengkar...
Gw datang dari keluarga broken home.. Gw dan adik cowok gw saya harus melihat pertengkaran orang tua kami sejak 20 tahun yang lalu.. Kami hidup dengan umpatan, sumpah serapah dan caci maki... Atas dengan izin Tuhan kalau kami sekarang masih menjadi anak baik - baik.. Semua orang salut dengan orang tua kami karena di lingkungan masyarakat gw dan adik gw telah dianggap berhasil.. Lulus kuliah dengan nilai yang baik dan memiliki pekerjaan tetap..

Banyak yang gak tau kalo gw dan adik gw struggle so hard to make it happen... Banyak yang gak tau kalo kami bermuka dua.. Memiliki alter ego.. Kami bisa tertawa lepas diluar dengan orang lain namun menjadi bisu ketika kembali kerumah… Tidak ada percakapan setelah makan malam.. tidak ada curhat-curhatan.. Kami menganggap hal itu biasa…

Selama 6 tahun terakhir semuanya berjalan diam seperti biasa teramat biasa.. Gw mencoba melupakan luka yang pernah ada di keluarga gw.. Walau gw sadar kalo tindakan gw mendiamkan masalah ini bagaikan bom waktu yang bisa meledak setiap saat... Enam tahun dan sekarang bom itu bersiap untuk meledak… Bahkan di usia gw yang sekarang, masih terasa sangat menyakitkan melihat pertengkaran orang tua dan amat sangat menyakitkan melihat kenyataan bahwa mereka mau bercerai…
Gw menyalahkan diri karena mustinya gw bisa perbaiki keadaan ini 6 tahun yang lalu..
Gw menyalah diri sebagai anak tertua untuk lebih peka akan hal ini..
Tapi sekarang semuanya sudah terlambat…
Gw menyalahkan ke egoisan orang tua yang tidak memikirkan gw, adik-adik gw, anak-anak mereka sendiri..
Badai hebat telah berlalu.. rumah gw menjadi sunyi dan diam seperti biasa.. Tidak ada tawa.. Tidak ada keceriaan.. Gw pengen ngerubah situasi ini tapi gw gak bisa… Gw gak tau musti mulai dari mana..
Gw udah terlalu imun…
Gw cuma bisa mengadu kepadaNya.. berharap ini semua segera berubah atau berakhir.. Gw berusaha sholat gak bolong-bolong lagi...

Gw belajar untuk ikhlas.. belajar untuk menerima kenyataan..

*Postingan ini gak pernah selesai karena terlalu sakit bagi gw untuk mengingat semuanya…
Adek mungkin baca blog ini.. Don't worry bro..everthing will be fine... We've been through this before.. We will be just fine.. Percaya sama incim.. Percaya sama yang di Atas..

Facing the crossroads...

2008-07-17T17:44:00.002+07:00

Here I am sitting at my office desk. It 6 pm. But, I can’t go home. 3 of our charter boats depart tonight to the islands. The Southern Cross, The Mikumba and The D’bora. Each of the boat brings 10 surfers at least. So, I have at least 5 foreigners sitting on a couch in front of me. Not including others that sitting at the backyard drinking beers while waiting for their friends...It’s so crowded here.....It’s been rainy for the last 1 week here in Padang. I love rain… The grey clouds make everyone mellow and chill…

I love my work… Everyone that comes to our office (they find us through lonely planet) says how lucky we are to work on a cozy place like this at Batang Arau hotel. Music is never stopping playing here... Its play Exodus from Bob Marley now. I love my work because I can meet hundreds of new people from all over the world. American, Australian, Brazilians, French and even Japanese… I work together with them during the surf season. I like to greet all the guests. I like to manage things and make sure all the boats ready to go. We are the one behind the screen so their trip happen.. We are the one that does their paperwork..their visas, their documents, everything..

I just love my work... I love my boss and their free mind. I love how she allows us to explore our mind, able to speak free and explore our creativity... I love them fro teaching me everything... I bet I will never find people like them anymore...

I love them because they “make” my comfort zone...

Now, I am walking towards to the crossroads. The closer it is the more I feel lost... I’m afraid I have to leave my comfort zone... I keep thinking if I’m doing the right things..

The crossroads that I will take would be the biggest point of my life… It could be worst too… It maybe took years for me to make the new road another comfort zone… But everything is so blur…

I cannot even ask my fiancée because he’s out there sailing from Java to Sumatra. No phone signals for 6 days now. I forget to ask him the satellite or the radio frequency on the boat. I regret it now…

I don’t know what I should do...

Engaged..

2008-06-02T18:18:00.003+07:00

Hi all,

I'm not blogging lately. I just don't have enough time to 'steal' some time to do so...
I just want to tell you all that the news about me was right. I'm engaged... With the one and only, Raynul Mihiko...
Why there is no picture of us together? Well, not like Javanese tradition, we from West Sumatra do the engaged ceremony only between parents and other families from both side. In fact, the bride and the groom are not allowed to attend the ceremonial... Sounds weird? Not really. As you may know that marriage for Indonesians and mostly Asians are not only for couples it self. But it also to united both family.
Hopefully we'll get married by November...
Hopefully all of you can attend the wedding party..
Nothing more special than you’re blesses and greet for us...

Ps: I do have the ring picture, which I wear now.. but I cannot load it from cell yet!

Okay, That's tha pic!!

Still Missing

2008-03-29T15:37:00.000+07:00

My BF work on Mangalui charter boat now...
After 1 month trip, he went back to Padang on March 26.
.........
On March 28, he left to the island and sailing again for 16 days...

I still miss him...

Long distance relationship is hard... What makes it harder is, I can not even see his face and hug him… but I cannot even hear his voices sometimes because no signal at the islands... So, all the things that I have in mind always fade away…

It was killing me... That's why I always busy on work just to skip the emptiness inside...

I miss you, Raynul… A lot…

Hero

2008-02-14T14:52:00.000+07:00

By: Enrique Iglesias

(Whispered) Let me be your hero

Would you dance if I asked you to dance?
Would you run and never look back
Would you cry if you saw me crying
Would you save my soul tonight?

Would you tremble if I touched your lips?
Would you laugh oh please tell me these
Now would you die for the one you love?
Hold me in your arms tonight?

I can be you hero baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away

Would you swear that you'll always be mine?
Would you lie would you run away

Am I in to deep?
Have I lost my mind?
I don't care you're here tonight

I just want to hold you
Am I in too deep?
Have I lost my mind?
Well I don't care you're here tonight

You can take my breath my breath away
I can be your hero
Ps: HAPPY VALENTINE, ALL!!!

Happy New Year 2008 for all!!!

I'm not posting much lately... because of the 'incident' and work that getting crazier...
How is everyone? I know we're just busy about ourselves. It always about me and me...
We never thought of others... That's why I always admire people who caring for others even for the earth... The UNFCCC in Bali few times ago really knock us in the head how fragile our earth... The Mother Nature getting old by the time and by us the human... What we can do to make things better on earth? What we can do to live green... What we can do aside thinking of me, me and me...
And I believe we are still torturing the earth as much as we can...
What is your New Year resolution? I hope no matter what you do please thinking about other people, about our earth...About the children’s...
I myself don't have a resolution for 2008. What I have is I'm planning what would I be in the next five years... What can I give for others...?
Luckily, my old fren of mine ask me to follow the EU. What I like the most is how to care more about others... no jealousy.. In order of following EU makes me want to open a work field!! How amazing it never crosses in my mind before... I wanted to open a recycling paper in Padang...and many others things... But first let's start from a small step...
I hope it will come true... and I believe it will with the power of mind... With hard work and effort we can do many things...
And now let us all stand up for life... May all the best things always come with us...

Tips menghadapi Gempa

2007-09-25T14:34:00.000+07:00

Lagi browsing di Internet nemu hal berikut di bawah ini:

Gempa bumi merupakan peristiwa pelepasan energi yang menyebabkan dislokasi (pergeseran) pada bagian dalam bumi secara tiba-tiba.

Penyebab Terjadinya Gempa Bumi

Proses tektonik akibat pergerakan kulit/lempeng bumi
Aktivitas sesar di permukaan bumi
Pergerakan geomorfologi secara lokal, contohnya terjadi runtuhan tanah
Aktivitas gunung api
Ledakan nuklir

Mekanisme perusakan terjadi karena energi getaran gempa dirambatkan ke seluruh bagian bumi. Di permukaan bumi, getaran tersebut dapat menyebabkan kerusakan dan runtuhnya bangunan sehingga dapat menimbulkan korban jiwa. Getaran gempa juga dapat memicu terjadinya tanah longsor, runtuhan batuan, dan kerusakan tanah lainnya yang merusak permukiman penduduk. Gempa bumi juga menyebabkan bencana ikutan berupa kebakaran, kecelakaan industri dan transportasi serta banjir akibat runtuhnya bendungan maupun tanggul penahan lainnya.

Gejala dan Peringatan Dini

Kejadian mendadak/secara tiba-tiba
Belum ada metode pendugaan secara akurat

Tips Penanganan Jika Terjadi Gempa Bumi

Jika gempa bumi menguncang secara tiba-tiba, berikut ini 10 petunjuk yang dapat dijadikan pegangan di manapun anda berada.

Di dalam rumah
Getaran akan terasa beberapa saat. Selama jangka waktu itu, anda harus mengupayakan keselamatan diri anda dan keluarga anda. Masuklah ke bawah meja untuk melindungi tubuh anda dari jatuhan benda-benda. Jika anda tidak memiliki meja, lindungi kepala anda dengan bantal.
Jika anda sedang menyalakan kompor, maka matikan segera untuk mencegah terjadinya kebakaran.
Di sekolah
Berlindunglah di bawah kolong meja, lindungi kepala dengan tas atau buku, jangan panik, jika gempa mereda keluarlah berurutan mulai dari jarak yang terjauh ke pintu, carilah tempat lapang, jangan berdiri dekat gedung, tiang dan pohon.
Di luar rumah
Lindungi kepada anda dan hindari benda-benda berbahaya. Di daerah perkantoran atau kawasan industri, bahaya bisa muncul dari jatuhnya kaca-kaca dan papan-papan reklame. Lindungi kepala anda dengan menggunakan tangan, tas atau apapun yang anda bawa.
Di gedung, mall, bioskop, dan lantai dasar mall
Jangan menyebabkan kepanikan atau korban dari kepanikan. Ikuti semua petunjuk dari petugas atau satpam.
Di dalam lift
Jangan menggunakan lift saat terjadi gempa bumi atau kebakaran. Jika anda merasakan getaran gempa bumi saat berada di dalam lift, maka tekanlah semua tombol. Ketika lift berhenti, keluarlah, lihat keamanannya dan mengungsilah. Jika anda terjebak dalam lift, hubungi manajer gedung dengan menggunakan interphone jika tersedia.
Di kereta api
Berpeganganlah dengan erat pada tiang sehingga anda tidak akan terjatuh seandainya kereta dihentikan secara mendadak. Bersikap tenanglah mengikuti penjelasan dari petugas kereta. Salah mengerti terhadap informasi petugas kereta atau stasiun akan mengakibatkan kepanikan.
Di dalam mobil
Saat terjadi gempa bumi besar, anda akan merasa seakan-akan roda mobil anda gundul. Anda akan kehilangan kontrol terhadap mobil dan susah mengendalikannya. Jauhi persimpangan, pinggirkan mobil anda di kiri jalan dan berhentilah. Ikuti instruksi dari radio mobil. Jika harus mengungsi maka keluarlah dari mobil, biarkan mobil tak terkunci.
Di gunung/pantai
Ada kemungkinan longsor terjadi dari atas gunung. Menjauhlah langsung ke tempat aman. Di pesisir pantai, bahayanya datang dari tsunami. Jika anda merasakan getaran dan tanda-tanda tsunami tampak, cepatlah mengungsi ke dataran yang tinggi.
Beri pertolongan
Sudah dapat diramalkan bahwa banyak orang akan cedera saat terjadi gempa bumi besar. Karena petugas kesehatan dari rumah-rumah sakit akan mengalami kesulitan datang ke tempat kejadian, maka bersiaplah memberikan pertolongan pertama kepada orang-orang yang berada di sekitar anda.
Dengarkan informasi
Saat gempa bumi besar terjadi, masyarakat terpukul kejiwaannya. Untuk mencegah kepanikan, penting sekali setiap orang bersikap tenang dan bertindaklah sesuai dengan informasi yang benar. Anda dapat memperoleh informasi yag benar dari pihak yang berwenang atau polisi. Jangan bertindak karena informasi orang yang tidak jelas.

Strategi Mitigasi dan Upaya Pengurangan Bencana Gempa Bumi

Harus dibangun dengan konstruksi tahan getaran/gempa khususnya di daerah rawan gempa.
Perkuatan bangunan dengan mengikuti standar kualitas bangunan.
Pembangunan fasilitas umum dengan standar kualitas yang tinggi.
Perkuatan bangunan-bangunan vital yang telah ada.
Rencanakan penempatan pemukiman untuk mengurangi tingkat kepadatan hunian di daerah rawan gempa bumi.
Zonasi daerah rawan gempa bumi dan pengaturan penggunaan lahan.
Pendidikan dan penyuluhan kepada masyarakat tentang bahaya gempa bumi dan cara - cara penyelamatan diri jika terjadi gempa bumi.
Ikut serta dalam pelatihan program upaya penyelamatan, kewaspadaan masyarakat terhadap gempa bumi, pelatihan pemadam kebakaran dan pertolongan pertama.
Persiapan alat pemadam kebakaran, peralatan penggalian, dan peralatan perlindungan masyarakat lainnya.
Rencana kontinjensi/kedaruratan untuk melatih anggota keluarga dalam menghadapi gempa bumi.
Pembentukan kelompok aksi penyelamatan bencana dengan pelatihan pemadaman kebakaran dan pertolongan pertama.
Persiapan alat pemadam kebakaran, peralatan penggalian, dan peralatan perlindungan masyarakat lainnya.
Rencana kontinjensi/kedaruratan untuk melatih anggota keluarga dalam menghadapi gempa bumi.

TIPS MENGHADAPI GEMPA

Sebelum Gempa

Siapkan perlengkapan :
- Lampu sorot
- Baterai ekstra
- Radio portabel lengkap dengan baterainya
- Perlengkapan pertama pada kecelakaan serta buku petunjuknya
- Makanan dalam kaleng
- Obat-obatan penting
- Pakaian pelindung dan jas hujan
- Sleeping bag (kantung tidur)
- Peluit
Perkokoh perabot rumah, ikat di dinding, amankan benda yang mudah jatuh
Catat nomor telepon polisi dan BMG, pantau radio.
Pelajari dan latih cara-cara penyelamatan diri, siapkan jalur keluar dari gedung ke tempat aman.

Saat Gempa

Di dalam ruangan :
- Lindungi kepala dan wajah
- Berlindung di sudut ruangan di celah antara tempat tidur dan dinding
- Meringkuk rapat ke dinding
- Jauhi pintu tertutup, jendela, kaca, cermin besar, rak dan lemari
- Jika berada di lantai atas, berpegang pada tiang bangunan, jangan buru-buru turun, bertahan hingga guncangan usai, jika sudah aman keluarlah dari dalam bangunan.
Di luar ruangan :
- Pergilah ke tempat terbuka
- Jauhi bangunan, pepohonan, tiang listrik, jembatan
- Jika di dalam mobil, segera hentikan mobil dan berbaring di samping mobil

Setelah gempa

Periksa kondisi tubuh anda, apakah terdapat luka atau cedera
Segera tutup saluran gas, padamkan listrik dan air
Tetap waspada, jauhi bangunan rusak akibat guncangan gempa
Jika dekat laut, pergilah ke tempat tinggi (>10 m) yang stabil dan aman dari tsunami

My Fave song!!

2007-09-22T14:39:00.000+07:00

Frente - Bizarre Love Triangle Lyric
Every time I think of you
I get a shot right through
Into a bolt of blue
It's no problem of mine
But it's a problem I find
Living the life that I can't leave behind
There's no sense in telling me
The wisdom of a fool won't set you free
But that's the way that it goes
And it's what nobody knows
And every day my confusion grows
Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for the final moment
You say the words that I can't say

I feel fine and I feel good
I feel like I never should
Whenever I get this way
I just don't know what to say
Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday
I'm not sure what this could mean
I don't think you're what you seem
I do admit to myself
That if I hurt someone else
Then I'll never see just what we're meant to be
Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for the final moment
You'll say the words that I can't say
Every time I see you falling
I'll get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for the final moment
You'll say the words that I can't say

I really like this song.. Luv it all the time.. Remind me of my 'cupu' time... Remind me when I'm still naive and pretend that everything is always fine.. Ahh..Old time.. Let them stay as memories..

Please check this VIDEO clip song here!

Run away..

2007-09-21T15:25:00.000+07:00

Despite to all earthquakes that happen here in Padang, West Sumatra, I run away to Singapore. Enjoy my B'day there and run away from office for 3 days! Soon as arrive in Padang on Sept 20th another earthquake coming. Oh well, we get used to the earthquakes now...
Geologist said for sure tsunami will come to Padang... Hopefully we will just be fine... Most of my extended families stay in my home now coz my home is up to the hills and far from the beach. Thanks God no crack in my home as the side effect of the shaky…

Ps:
My legs are hurts so bad coz I keep walking in Spore. (Ketahuan gak pernah exercise). Finally I succeed to find the esplanade theatre on bay a.k.a the durian building :P . I went there by myself from Geylang on MRT and lost several times. Went to Marina Bay and everywhere else alone. Fiuh... Anyway, am so proud of my self. Gak seru dong kalo ke Singapore jalannya ke Orchard terus.. Many interest place to see lah..

Will update some more later on...

Missing my Bro..(part 2)

2007-08-27T18:18:00.000+07:00

Hari ini, satu2nya saudara cowok yang gw punya, Shonny Yaneva Putra mulai kerja di WONOSOBO
Buat blogger yang tinggal di Kep. Jawa mungkin tempat itu udh gak asing lagi. Tapi tidak dengan kami sekeluarga yang berasal dari bagian tengah Sumatra.. That place it is just out of reach.. Untung ada telfon dan email yang bikin distance jadi sesuatu yang dekat..
Seumur2 hidupnya, Shonny a.k.a Adek kami biasa memanggil gak pernah jalan 'sejauh' itu. Paling banter cuma ampe Jakarta. Adek juga gak palala seperti orang minang bilang.. Adek bener2 anak rumahan.
Sekarang ketika selesai kuliah dan di wisuda mau gak mau Adek harus merantau jauh di negeri orang.. Merantau dan merasakan gimana susahnya cari duit.
Mungkin ada blogger yang bilang.. " Aduh masih Indonesia ini.." tapi tetep aja our family missed him.. Kami sekeluarga kangen ama Adek. Terutama mama karena paling deket ama Adek. Aren't we always missed one of our familly mostly when they are no longer at home..??
Kemaren Adek nelf bilangin kalo dia udah mulai kos-kosan di sana. Abis nelfon mom&dad langsung nangis.. It's been hard for them untuk ngelepas anak mereka yang paling 'baik'.
Beda ama gw yang rada 'rebel'.. It's been hard for them to think that their son will be just fine there and also it's been hard for me as a sister karena gak ada lagi yang ngejagain gw disini..
Dan gw juga amat sangat yakin kalo Adek pasti juga ngerasa sedih dan sepi disana..

We wish u all the best, bro..
If you read this blog just remember that this is a journey..
It's a journey to reach the stars..
We always pray to God for your from here..
U gotta pray too now.. ;)
Just be good okay..
Be strong..
We love you..

Ps: Si Adek lagi 'cupu'!. Damn.. I really miss him..

Mumbling me.. part three

2007-08-17T15:47:00.000+07:00

Wua.. udah lama gak posting!! Temen2 dunia maya nanya.. "Lo ngilang kemana Sher?"..Well, gw gak kemana2 kok. Disini2 aja.. Work yang makin gila2an bikin gw gak bisa buka blogspot sering2, hiks...hiks... dan terpaksa harus bikin status YM gw "busy". Maap ya pren..

Hari ini 17 Agustus 2007. Hari Kemerdekaan Indonesia yang ke 62. Dimana2 ada upacara bendera. Gak tau kenapa gw jadi kangen banget pengen ikutan upacara bendera.. Udah 7 taon gw gak pernah ikut upacara bendera lagi. Padahal dulu waktu masih sekolah saban senin gw jadi pembaca UUD ato ajudan pembina yang bacain Pancasila..
Dulu gw pengen banget jadi pengibar bendera.. Tapi apa daya..tinggi gw yang cuma semekot (semeter kotor) bikin gw ditolak masuk jadi anggota,,huh! Anyway..
I wonder gimana upacara bendera sekarang ini.. Apa masih seperti yang dulu ato udah berubah yak? Gw inget dulu pernah ikut upacara bendera di kantor Gubernur. Seru banget dan rame bgt.. Banyak murid dari sekolahan lain. Tapi seingat gw banyak Bapak2 yang ikut upacara menguap lebar2 ato malah meringis menahan panas..
Tadi pagi rencanyanya gw pengen liat tanyangan langsung upacara bendera. Apa daya, hari ini gw ngantor sodara2! Nganto seperti biasa karena banyak banget kapal kita yang berangkat. Dan tamu yang dateng pro surfer semua.. Jadi kudu di service abis2-an.
Moga2 ntar sore gw cepet pulang dan bisa liat upacara penurunan bendera di tv..

Ohya.. long weekend seperti ini pasti pada liburan deh.. Tapi di kantor gw nggak..huaaa :((
besok gw tetep musti kerja karena ada kapal berangkat hari minggunya..
Tapi weekend kemaren gw sempat jalan ama tante2 gw (Mama, Tety, Teyu dan Sherin) dan sempat juga jalan ama keluarganya Reno ke bukittinggi, hehehe.. (pergi ama camer, euy!).
It was nice really nice..

Besok malam, gw mau ke fellas cafe ah.. Sendirian aja karena Reno lagi berlayar ke Mentawai. Gpp, di Fellas bakalan rame kayaknya karena Ricky - female great singer! dateng dari Aussie!! Yuuhuu!!
That's all for now. Have a nice weekend y'all!!

Earthquake in Padang

2007-08-03T09:54:00.000+07:00

I woke up this morning early and jumping from my bed! It's an EARTHQUAKE in Padang! Why I am so scared? Because Padang is considered one of the highest risk areas in Indonesia for Tsunami! We can feel the earthquake. It scared me out of hell!! As you might know Padang is located exactly at the ring of fire as they said "Live in Fault Line ". And based on the movement deep inside the ground, many scientist ( one of them is Prof. Kerry Sieh) had predict that it'll be tsunami in Padang.
Only God knows when...

Yawning me..

2007-07-30T13:42:00.000+07:00

I spent my weekend yesterday at Reno's village house. His mom held some fest in order to grateful to God for giving load of harvest to their rice field...

I stayed there from 1pm till 8.30 pm... Then Reno drove me and his sister on his mio bike and took 6 (six) durians together with us!! Crazy!! Why we don't use car? Coz, Reno's car is still in 'painting mode'.
Driving on a bike in night time quit freezing. I almost fall asleep but I have to hold if I don't want to fall...
Yet, I arrived home by 9.30 pm. Take a shower and goes to bed off course; I continue to read Harry Potter. My eyes getting tired and went to bed by 11.30pm... I closed my eyes still...
However, In the middle of the night at 3 am I woke up. Went to pee and get some fresh water. But I couldn’t sleep... After 1, 5 hour turning around in my bed likes barbeque meat I decided to wake up... Sitting what I will do on Monday at work... I stay awake until I decided to read the whole Harry Potter and the last line ends when the whole families start to wake up...
And I wake up the whole time until now. I keep yawning for hundred times since this morning...
I'm so sleepy... I want my bed...
I cannot concentrate now...
HOOAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMM..................

Mumbling me.. part two

2007-07-28T14:03:00.000+07:00

It's been ages since my last posting on this blog. Why I am not posted new story? Some friends asked whether am on 'Hiatus' mode... But, no. I'm not posting coz a month ago someone printed my blog and sent it over to all office out there. Indeed I did write briefly about it. I’ve been investigate about all that stuff.. And I learn that I cannot speak out loud in my own country. Many peoples don’t like it.. I learn my lesson and I become the victim here… I learn that many things that better not saying it outspoken…

Alas, my silly life still continues like usual. My 78 yo grandma sick and need to stay in hospital… She’s back home and need intensive care. All families decided to bring her to our home. Coz my mom is the only one in family who stay here in Padang. My two aunties from Jakarta fly over here and this June 30^th my other two aunties fly over from Germany to see my grandma... It’ll be full house and I’ll ends up spend my night in front of tv coz no more room left… (sigh...) But, I love my families, even sometimes we don’t like them but still they are our families... Besides they will bring many presents, huehehehe..

Works at shipping agent goes by like usually.. I wen to Mentawai island for short visit 2 weeks ago. Nothing special happen. Only we had an accident last week.. One of our boats KM. BUDYADAHRI burn out on July 22 at 11pm.. Luckily no one died and the fire didn’t reach the engine room.. Thanks to all the help of local people around the boat and the fireman of city Padang that been working really hard to stop the fire.. Thank you deeply to God… I ended staying at the office until 4 am in the morning. I’ve been investigate marathon by many officers then and it will continues until next Monday.. Hopefully everything will be okay...

However from many sad stories, I need to be grateful for all the help that I get. Some officers really help us…

And what makes me really happy is I got latest edition of Harry Potter!! Yihaaa!!! I’m so relieved!! Yaay!!!

Will post some more.. Adios all!!

LIFE IN THE 1500'S

2007-06-12T12:54:00.000+07:00

The next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature isn't just how you like it, think about how things used to be.
Here are some interesting facts about the 1500s:

Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and still smelled pretty good by June. However, they were starting to smell, so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor.

Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married.

Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water.
The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water,
then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally
the children, Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it.
Hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water."

Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high, with no wood underneath.
It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof. When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and off the roof.
Hence the saying "It's raining cats and dogs."

There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house. This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could mess up your nice clean bed. Hence, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded some protection. That's how canopy beds came into existence.

The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt.
Hence the saying "dirt poor." The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet, so they spread thresh (straw) on floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on, they added more thresh until when you opened the door it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entranceway. Hence the saying a "thresh hold."

(Getting quite an education, aren't you?)

In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They ate mostly vegetables and did not get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day. Sometimes stew had food in it that had been there for quite a while.
Hence the rhyme, "Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old. "

Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special. When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off It was a sign of wealth that a man could "bring home the bacon." They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and "chew the fat."

Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead poisoning death. This happened most often with tomatoes, so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous.

Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or "upper crust."

Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky.
The combination would sometimes knock the imbibers out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait to see if they would wake up. Hence the custom of holding a "wake."

England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people. So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a "bone-house" and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. So they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the "graveyard shift") to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be "saved by the bell" or was considered a "dead ringer."

And that's the truth.. Now, whoever said that History was boring ! ! !

Educate someone...Share these facts with a friend!!

What Tarot card am I?

2007-06-05T14:54:00.000+07:00

Got from Syl'v blog

You are The High Priestess

Science, Wisdom, Knowledge, Education.

The High Priestess is the card of knowledge, instinctual, supernatural, secret knowledge. She holds scrolls of arcane information that she might, or might not reveal to you. The moon crown on her head as well as the crescent by her foot indicates her willingness to illuminate what you otherwise might not see, reveal the secrets you need to know. The High Priestess is also associated with the moon however and can also indicate change or fluxuation, particularily when it comes to your moods.

Ngalor ngidul..

2007-06-02T13:23:00.000+07:00

Udah lama gak posting. Alesan yang sama..seperti biasa. Sibuk. * berasa mentri aja gw,sibuk mulu* Well, kurang tidur membuat kita ngga konsen lagi ngerjain apapun. Insomnia yang udah saya alami yang sudah akut menjadi tambah parah karena kamar saya lagi di renovasi. Lagi di gedein ceritanya. Si mamah maksa2. Kamar saya yang dulu emang kecil dan standar banger. Gak bagus buat dijadiin kamar penganten katanya *Yee....!!!*
So, jadilah selama 10 hari terakhir saya ngungsi nginap di kamar mama. Bareng2 dengan sepupu, Icha yang dateng dr Bandung dan my mom herself off-course. Renovasi kamar yang kecil aja ribetnya setengah mati. Musti ngerjain ini itu. Setiap saya pulang kerumah pasti takjub ngeliat hasil kerja tukang.. Sayang tukang di Indonesia masih dianggap pekerjaan kasar. Padahal kalo nggak ada mereka pasti gak ada yang bisa bikin rumah. Arsitek kan jago desain-paper only- But to make it real, we need tukang lah bo'! Gila aja kalo gak ada mereka.. Sapa yang mau ngaduk semen??
Sekarang kamar saya udah nyaris siap. Tinggal finishing touch. So, I decided untuk nge-cat kamar saya jadi warna oranye. Mau sih warna merah darah tapi si mamah ngamuk2. Yo weis lah ikut aja apa kata mom.

Me, painting the room. *nggak ding, hehehe..foto taken without permission from here

Apalagi ke chaosan yang saya alami di 2 minggu terakhir selain rumah yang berantakan dan tukang bersliweran?? Tanggal 26 kemaren my one and only bro di wisuda di Gedung GOR IKIP. Jadilah kami sekeluarga dandan heboh, sibuk nyari barang kemana2 karena rumah berantakan..

Me, on kebaya.. *kebayanya udh mulai kesempitan*

"background dimana?? Kok ada peta??" Ya iyalah wong di kantor saya!!

Pulangnya siap wisuda, Christina invite me to come to Batang Arau Hotel coz ada barbeque party. Jadi ada bule dari Australi yang tinggal di Medan. Namanya Mark yang lagi promosi daging. Dia gelar BBQ party di halaman belakang hotel. Dagingnya daging sapi. Dimasak rare gitu.. Aje gile dah.. Kita semua makan daging ampe mabok.. *Picnya nanti ya*

Trus, my dearest best fren Rani having birthday on the 30th of May. Kasak kusuk nyari kado. Soale Olla yang di Lampung juga nitip kado buat Rani.

Me, Sherin-my lil sis and Najla-Rani's daughter. Makan2 di Pizza Hut. *Kenyang..!!*

Apalagi?? Kerjaan aman..so far so good. Kadang2 overload tapi masih bisa atasi. Oh ya, Reno hari ini balik dari Mentawai. Yippie!! *pas banget dah baliknya malem mingguan*

Udah ah mo balik kerja. Ketahuan nge-blog di kantor bisa kena SP gw, xixixi... Please also check, blog that I made for my office Bevys Sumatra

Missing him...

2007-05-25T15:43:00.000+07:00

I miss you honey.. I miss you since the 1st day you left for your trip to Mentawai...
I know you hated it when I post your picture in my blog. I know you hated it when I write about our story... I know you hated it when I write about my life here...

But this is my journal... My online diary. I wanted to be able to read it in the future. What if I got short memory lost and I couldn’t remember anything? This blog could remind me of what I am doing.. What if I die and left nothing? I wish others could remember me at least on my silly writing in this blog...

I don’t care if others don’t like my blog... What I do care is having history that I could remember... And this blog could remind me too of how much I love you and how I miss you...

Pernahkah selama ini
Ku berhenti mencintaimu
Pernahkah kau mendengar
Ku tak ucap sayang padamu
Di setiap detak jantung
Ku selalu sebutkan namamu
Cintamu telah membuat
Hatiku terukir jelas dirimu

Engkaulah jiwaku
Engkaulah mimpiku
Engkaulah separuh dari hidupku
Hanyalah dirimu
Yang membuat segalanya indah

Biarlah yang ku rasa
Semua itu akan abadi
Kan kulakukan segalanya
Agar ku dapat cintamu

Ku sayang dirimu, ku jaga hatimu
Di sini tempatmu di sisiku
Tetap ku terjaga dalam tidurku
Memikirkanmu ............ dirimu

Usahlah yang kau rasa
Semua kan abadi
Separuh hidupku
Lupakan segalanya
Agar ku dapat cintamu

Separuh Hidupku by Titi DJ

Sleeping Disorder

2007-05-24T16:05:00.000+07:00

I got insomnia since I was still in High school. So, total time I couldn’t sleep every night is almost 10 years!! I could awake for more than 24 hours without sleeping. Off course if I do that for sure the next day I'll look like Garfield and had miserable eyes..

I've been trying all methods to makes my way for deep sleep easier. For example counting till 100 or 1000, aroma therapy…Warm milk before sleeping.. Reading (mostly what I do but then I ended up reading the whole book in one night only!). I've done everything but still I couldn’t found the way..
I am only able to sleep when there is no light and no sounds at all. Not even for TV. I couldn’t sleep when I still hear people chattering… I couldn’t sleep at new place. My body just had to adjust first. If I stayed at my friend or relative house then for sure I'm not really sleeping.
I'm jealous of my dad who can sleep easily when TV still on. I'm jealous of my bf that can be knocking down on deep sleep as soon as he reaches the bed. I couldn’t do that… I envy them. I envy people who can fall asleep easy..

Having difficulties to sleep at night made me a ‘night person’. I never woke and see the sun rise.. Which everyone said so beautiful.. I never woke up early dawn and feel the morning air.. Not that I don’t want to but sometimes I started to sleep at 2am how could I wake up at 5 or 6am?

I wanted to sleep early and feel the fresh air in the morning.. I wanted to sleep early so I can see the sun rise.. I wanted to be the morning person. But I can’t!!!! Waaaa....Huhuhuhu...

Please help me.. Please tell me what to do...

Party..party..party!!!

2007-05-22T16:13:00.000+07:00

Surat Terbuka kepada 'anda'!!!

2007-05-18T09:59:00.000+07:00

Apa kabar? Saya harap anda baik-baik saja. Karena anda sekarang blog saya terkenal. I'm famous now. Feel like celebrity!!
Seharusnya saya yang paling marah karena anda memberitahukan kepada seluruh orang tentang blog saya. Saya seharusnya yang marah jika ada foto bugil saya di blog ini dan anda menyebarluaskannya. Anda mencetak blog saya ke kertas dan mengirimnya sebagai surat kaleng kepada seluruh orang. Kenapa saya yakin anda yang melakukannya? Coz, I knew.. I can feel it..
Maksud anda apa? Anda ingin menjatuhkan saya? Anda ingin membuat nama saya jelek? Ingin orang lain membenci saya? Kenapa….
Apa anda tidak ada pekerjaan lain selain mencetak blog saya dan mengirimnya kepada semua orang? Apa anda tidak ada kegiatan lain?
Get a life will you!! What a shame on you!!
Apa yang anda lakukan terhadap saya mungkin pelampiasan dari kekesalan anda.. Tapi saya tidak melakukan apapun terhadap anda.. Apa yang anda lakukan kepada saya mungkin bisa mencelakakan saya. Mungkin bisa membuat saya terbunuh.. Namun hal ini membuat saya mengerti betapa anda sangat membenci saya.. Betapa anda ingin saya hancur.. Why can you just let it go.. Why…????
Hal ini membuat saya sedih karena saya sangat menghargai anda dulu dan sampai sekarang. Saya selalu mengharap yang terbaik untuk anda..tapi anda begitu marah dan benci kepada saya.. I never thought u hated me that much.. It just hurt me more..
Saya anggap hal ini sebagai tantangan dan pelajaran hidup.. Saya anggap hal ini sebagai pendewasaan diri.. I'm not afraid. You could me kill me. Anyone who hated me could kill me.. Namun percayalah.. semangat dalam diri saya tidak akan pernah mati.. dan anda bisa melakukan apapun kepada saya.. Saya yakin anda juga membaca blog ini, dan bagimanapun juga saya terus berharap kepada Tuhan semoga anda menjadi lebih baik.. Menyadari kesalahan anda dan tidak mengganggu saya.. Karena saya tidak mau memiliki kebencian seperti yang anda miliki..

Salam,
Sherlie

Missing my Bro..

2007-04-28T10:45:00.000+07:00

I miss my brother... Shonny Yaneva Putra.
I just had one brother. It's funny,how I used to fight and had arguments with him for so many years.. And now, he left to Java to get a work. I used to be very dominant at him. Whatever I want, he must follow it.. And he never complaint. But, when he gets mad no one can calm him. He could be very angry like a tiger and sweet like a kitty.
He's like a guard in our families. I'm so lucky to have brother that can protect me and my sister. Deep inside sometimes he cannot take important decision. And he's such a momy boy.. *jealous mode on*.
He's the only person that can talk to my mom. I wish him all the best. I always do..
Lucu aja kalo inget2 waktu kecil2 dulu. Kalo dia disini kita berantem terus tapi kalo jauhan pasti kangen..
I really miss him..
"Elok2 di tampek urang yo dek.. Kalo ado apo2 telpon se incim..."

Good Friday!!

2007-04-06T13:22:00.000+07:00

Happy Easter for all of you that celebrate it today.
Guess what?? I'm working. Yes. Work like usual on national holiday. As long as they pay me my over time, hehehe..
Well, one of our boats departs to the island today.

Anyhoo, yesterday one of our guests on Southern Cross, Mr. Paul Jackson got an accident. He broke his tendon/biceps. Yikeesss!!
And it forces him to get back to Padang as soon as possible and leave this morning to Melbourne. Doctor in Padang writes like this “Mr. Jackson get trauma on rupture tendon biceps dextra, bla..bla..surfing in Mentawai..bla..bla..”. That was pretty scary. But I asked Paul does he want to stop surfing,. And he said: “No way, Sherlie!! In fact, I’ll be back again to surf in July. So, you’ll see me in couple months”
Well, I noticed that all surfers are crazy. Whenever they get addicted to wave then they’ll do anything. Anything for surf. In fact, they consider the boards as their wife,hehehe..
Off course there is also female surfer and I believe they will consider their boards as their boyfriend.

By the way, my brother left to Jakarta two days ago. Our home feels a lil bit quite than usual. It’s strange how I miss him when he’s not around and how I always had an argument with him when he’s here.. Be well, bro.. Hope you’ll be success there..

Tia's sister also left to Jakarta this morning. It means she’ll stay alone with her mom. Tia had tried so hard that her mom can go with her sister but unfortunately she doesn’t to.
I guess her mom realize that, I will stay with Tia and we’ll be wild when no parent at home!!

Ya..ya.. I know what you’re thinking. Me and Tia we’re both in middle twenty and still stay with our parents. But, that’s how its runs here in padang. You obliged to stay if you’re still single. Even if you’re single until 40 yo still have to live with parents. It’s a long story.. I’ll explain more sometimes.

I wanted to hang out on sat night. Maybe went to Fellas Café and hang out there with other friends. For sure, I’ll be with my boyfriend. And Tia maybe will come with one of her fans? We got free liquor from Rob a week ago. We might gonna drink them all this weekend!!!!

Ps: Dasar Tia dodol!! Udah dibikinin blog malah lupa passwordnya!!!!

Photo was taken 2 days ago at our office using Tia's new cellphone!!

Responsabilities are sucks!

2007-04-03T15:11:00.000+07:00

Yes, responsabilities are sucks. But we have to deal with it.. Like it or not.
I believe it is the process to grow. To become an adult.
More adult we are more responsibilities that we had to face.
Life is about an option. About choice. Whether we had to turn left or right. Whether to stay at the same track.. Whether to ignore things and keep moving on..
Works are crazier. I think my head is going to explode soon.
But, hey.. I can deal with it..

Kemaren ini kerjaan emang lagi gila2an banget. Gw bahkan selalu pulang telat dari biasanya.. Untung sang pacar selalu mau nungguin gw.. dan untuk menebus rasa bersalah gw beliin dia parfum..hehehe..
Tapi beberapa hari kemudian gw berantem ama dia. He said am too bosy. Ini yang kedua kalinya dia ngomong kayak gini..
Mungkin karena gw nge-debate dia. Gw tau ego cowok. But ya.. kerjaan jadi gak konsen kalo berantem ama pacar. He is the last person o earth that I want to fight with. Gw maunya bisa lay down on his shoulder and try to get the calm and the peace.. But we fight.. Berantem selama 3 hari yang bener2 bikin gw exhausted..

Boats are running smoothly so far.. Walopun masih bermasalah dengan perusahaan swasta lain yang I think, tries to cover the mentawai islands.Monoply and tried to make colony there..
I don’t want to talk much here. I have enough work that I’m struggling hard to deal with. But those people thinks that I’m the vocal person and against this idea. Even Paul King and Martin Daly the pioneer in Mentawai islands not agreed with this.
Kalo di pikir2 emang habit orang awak yang begitu.. Dulu mereka anggap gw kurang representative utk perusahaan ini. Siapa gw? Cuman anak kemaren sore.
But then karena gw gak pernah nelfon mereka dan gak pernah datang ke kantor mereka pikir gw orang sombong dan belagu.. Hello!! Do I have to tell them that I had lots of works??!!! Do I have to show them all big stack of files that I have to carry along with me?? Padang and Teluk Bayur port is not even near..
And this mentawai stuff is really far in my head. I had other urgent things to do.
Do I sound arrogant? I don’t think so.. I just try no to think about what others thinks about me.
I just don’t get it why it is happening like this. I respect everyone. I consider them and my teacher. My guide. Because of them I know this stuff and because of them I learn a lot. Because of them I move to other company..
Is it wrong for me to try to reach a better position? Do I have to satisfied of what I am before? I think everyone had rights to become more valuable in their life..
I’m blowing up now.
Masalah lain, my boss got black mail from her former employee. And we need to sort things out soon. Kalo nggak ya..di bawa ke pengacara and ke pengadilan aja..
Dan yang pasti kalo polisi ato pengacara terlibat segala urusan akan jadi panjang.. (Sorry I don’t mean to offense anyone here)

Reno kemaren ngomong gw.. Jangan panik. Jangan pernah panik di depan orang-orang yang telah mempercayakan sesuatu ke gw. Gw harus bisa tenang.. harus bisa calm situation and think clear. Harus berpikir jernih. Harus bisa ngerem mulut dan control emosi karena gw harus deal dgn banyak orang..

I wish to God I can pass all this.. I’m not a saint. But I don’t want to hurt or disrespect others. I don’t want to be arrogant. Coz, as I said in my earlier post before that money and fame are very sexy and could blur it all..

And I start to pray again now… ( walopun sholat gw masih bolong-bolong..)

Okay, this post is long enough. I need to get back to work now.. Cya!!

Utang Tidur.

2007-03-08T15:49:00.000+07:00

Gw ngantuk.. Amat sangat mengantuk.. Insomnia gw jd tambah parah. Tadi malam tidur jam 1 lewat. Padahal udah merebahkan diri di kasur sejak jam 9 malam. I dont know what is wrong with me. Temen gw bilang coba menghayal yang indah2. Menghayal suka-suka. But, still it doesnt work on me. Pake aroma terapi. Tetep juga gak bisa tidur. Ada temen lain lagi yang bilang kalo gw kebanyakan pikiran. Beh..

Gw kerja setiap hari senin - sabtu. Cuma minggu doang yang libur. So, hari minggu itu viasanya gw pake untuk ke salon, hang out ama temen dan TIDUR!!!!

Minggu kemaren adalah minggu yang paling kacau. I slept at 4am. Salah gw juga sih gak bisa menahan diri nonton Grey's Anatomy. Langsung gw hajar 8 (delapan!) episode. Soalnya gw penasaran sih..

Then I woke up by 9 am. Beres2 rumah dikit, do my laundry langsung prepare ke salon langganan gw in Permindo street. Agenda gw adalah, lulur, facial dan creambath. Pokoknya harus bisa dikerjain semua.

Jam 12 teng gw udah nyampe disalon. But then it turns that lulur room is full. Okay, it doesnt mind. Gw bisa creambath dulu. Abis creambath. Yang punya salon bilang. "sherlie tunggu bentar ya.. satu jam lagi siap kok. Small voice inside me bicara '1 jam lama loh sher, bagusan lo ke salon next door and get facial there. Gw kenal ama yg punya dan pernah cobain service mereka. Tapi gw ignore that small voice. Gw mikir ya udhlah gpp nunggu 1 jam, lagian males keluar bo' panas bgt. 1 jam gw nunggu, Tia, temen kantor gw datang. Ikutan creambath juga. Tia udah mau selesai dan still gak ada yg keluar dr lulur room. Gw mulai kesel. Tampang gw udh keruh bgt. Yang punua salon kak adek nanya: Sherlie udah belom? langsung aja gw jawab dgn butek bgt. Belom. Gimana sih??? Yang punya salon meriksa well then it turns out that salah satu employee sakit, gak enak badan dan gak inform ke yang punya. I cant blame her.. But it still it really sucks if i have to have to wait for almost 3 hours in salon. Never ever in my life i wait for something nor someone that long. I always left behind. Gw yang ninggalin karena gw paling gak suka menunggu.

Akhirnya dengan gondok. Gw pulang ama tia. Jalan ke mall, nongkrong di Tea Haus dan makan sebanyak2nya. I tend to eat more when I'm stress. Sucks. Coz I'm gaining weight already. Jalan2 seputar Mall dan gw beli sepatu. Geez..gw ganas kalo lgi marah. Daya belanja gw langsung gila2an.

Pulang dari mall, gw langsung kerumah. Flu gw gak brenti2. Mo tidur tapi gak bisa. Akhirnya gw nonton Grey Anatomy (Lagii???) dan sukses tidur jam 12 malem. Until now. gw masih tidur lewat dr jam 12 malem.

Gw masih utang tidur..

I wanna go home!!! I want my beeeeeedddddddddddd....Huuuuuuuuuaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!

Living in Ithe ring of fire..

2007-03-08T14:13:00.000+07:00

Internet back to normal again. On Tuesday afternoon, Padang was shock again by an earthquake. It’s pretty big. 5, 8. It’s shocking us coz we do afraid about the tsunami. In fact just few days before the earthquake, Professor Kerry Sieh showed us what could happen to us if tsunamis happen. Padang is really the most dangerous city to live in. If tsunami hits around 500 thousand people killed and Padang would be the dead city coz we do live by the beach..
The epic centre of the earthquake on Tuesday was in Tanah Datar. That’s near Bukitinggi. Many damage and crack and many building falls there and also damage in Solok. I don’t have family there. We are all in Padang. Luckily all my families are safe.

And Garuda Airlines falls the next day. Damn!! It’s pretty stoked. And those thunders. It’s too much in a row. The international spot light is on us now. Hopefully it going to end soon. Every dark cloud has a silver lining.

Work is just the same. I might go to Jakarta to change some company paperwork. I wish I could just send the docs by Tiki and get the reply. But, you know what happens in our country when it deals with birocrachy.

Ps: I miss my friends at campus before. I miss to laugh out loud and don’t care about others. I miss to hang out late in the pub without need to worry that I’ll look like Panda the next day.
The only entertain that I have now is Grey’s Anatomy. Great Drama!! And Derek Shepherd is everyone’s McDreamy, hehehe…

I'm dead..

2007-03-02T16:48:00.000+07:00

Yes I'm dead. Never been in my life I got work pressures like this ever.. It ain't fun to be a leader. It ain't fun to handle those responsibilities but yes, it look good when those officers in birocrachy read my name and nodding head and I can see in a glance they're head nodding and said. Cicring $$$$, hehehe..Kidding..
My work is over load.. And my body cannot resist anymore. I'm getting fever.. Damn!!
I must not sick in this conditions. I cannot sick.. So many work that I need to settle.. Urrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhh....
Somebody help me!!!!!!!!!!

Ps: Freedom II, MV finally arrived last wed to Bungus Bay. All paperwork done and clear. They will had their first trip on sunday and bring six surfer guests from Hawaii.

We're just ordinary people..

2007-02-15T18:17:00.000+07:00

For the first time, yesterday on Valentines Day, I asked my BF to listen to this song and make him understand the meaning of it.. He's kinda like it.. Now, it is our favorite song together..
It just such a sweet song..

Ordinary People by John Legends

Girl im in love with you
This ain't the honeymoon
Past the infatuation phase
Right in the thick of love
At times we get sick of love
It seems like we argue everyday

[Bridge]

I know i misbehaved
And you made your mistakes
And we both got room left to grow
And though love sometimes hurts
I still put you first
And we'll make this thing work
But I think we should take it slow

[Chorus]
We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
Cuz we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow

[Verse 2]

This ain't a movie no
No fairy tale conclusion ya'll
It gets more confusing everyday
Sometimes it's heaven sent
We head back to hell again
We kiss and we make up on the way

[Bridge]
I hang up you call
We rise and we fall
And we feel just like walking away
But as our love advances
We take second chances
Though it's not a fantasy
I Still want you to stay

[Chorus]

We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
Cuz we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow

[Verse 3]

Take it slow
Maybe we'll live and learn
Maybe we'll crash and burn
Maybe you'll stay, maybe you'll leave, maybe you'll return
Maybe you'll never find
Maybe we won't survive
But maybe we'll grow
You never know baby youuuu and I

[Chorus]

I'm shot and haven't reached the ground..

2007-02-10T13:27:00.000+07:00

Been ages since last time I post my blog.. When was it? My last post was on 25th January 2007.
Beginning of 2007 was not run so smooth at our office.. I've said in my post earlier that I worked for PMA (foreign investment company) in Padang. Well, there are changes of board direction now... And some people had to quite from the company... Only four office employees stayed... Thanks God, I stayed... And all of the sudden most of the shipping stuff comes to me... comes to my shoulder and I had to sort it out... I stay in this company without any clue what is going to happen... Am I gonna be fucked up for all documents? Can I do this job? So many questions and pressures come to me..
But really, it feels like you just had been shot and haven't reached the ground... It feels like we're doing our best to keep up standing and recover...
In same way, I believe that I can do it... I have many supports..In fact I get all support from Christina, Scuzz and the crews on boat...
I just pray that I won't do mistakes or fucked up stuff... And I wish I can stay humble and stay the way I am... Coz money and fame can blur it all...

Today conversation at da office..

2007-01-25T12:38:00.000+07:00

Me: I'm sssssssssssoooooooooooo ssssssssllllllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeepppppppppppyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy............... (yawning)

Tia: What the hell are you doing last night, Sherlie? (* looking curios)

Me: Mau tau aja luh!! (keep yawning..)

Mentawai Trip

2006-12-23T10:30:00.000+07:00

In the pic Left to Right: Sherlie, Aii Heuer, Elvis Kasmir and Rudi Khelces. At 6.30 am in the morning. On a dinghy that took us from Tua Pejat to Aloita Resort..

Mr. Elvis Kasmir-my Boss and I went to Mentawai islands last week. We went to Simakakang Island exactly. There are government meeting there. Its for all tourism operator. The meeting was held in Aloita Resort (www.aloitaresort.com)

This is entrance to Aloita Resort...
That is the main bar. On the left side then there's an office, restorant, Scuba centre and all bungalows..

Ini resto and officenya. Yang di depan itu gerobak yang ngebawa baygon cair. Dan disemprotkan ke sekeliling resort. For your information. Banyak sekali nyamuk Malaria di seluruh kepulauan Mentawai..

This is the boat (KM. Simasin) that took us from Padang to Tua Pejat, the capital of Mentawai from Padang. It took 10 hours on boat before we arrive there.. So, nggak easy lah hai kalo mau ke Mentawai.. Belom lagi kalo kena badai..

Ini diatas ferry dengan kecepatan 400PK dari Aloita resort mau kembali ke Tua Pejat and Pulang Ke Padang .
Seru loh kalo di atas ferry kayak gini. Muka and baju bisa basah semua kena ombak trus kulit jadi item which i like it so much coz i dont like my fair skin color..

Diatas kapal KM. Beriloga. Mampir tiga jam di Sioban, pulau Sipora - Mentawai.

Next meeting for tourism operator will be held in Feb 07 at Kandui Resort http://www.mentawaiislands.com/kandui

Hopefully, I can go again and will post u more story.

Ps: Kapan-kapan disambung lagi..internet lagi error neh..

Weird things on me!!

2006-11-23T17:43:00.000+07:00

Inspire from Madame Meltje Blog.

Everyone was born to be a weirdo. As well as me!

I love to wash my feet over and over. Mungkin karena si mamah sejak dulu selalu bilang cuci kaki dan cuci tangan sebelum tidur :p. In fact, I love to have my wet feet on bed. Dingin gimana geto..
Always drink lots of mineral water yang menyebabkan gw sering beser ke toilet dan was my feet again,hehehe..
Always sleep with a blanket. No matter how hot the day is. Gak tau gw ngerasa comfort aja kalo tidur pake selimut. And, yes..my blanket cover all my body till neck. Jadi cuma keliatan kepala ajah! Also I sleep with very thin pillow and no guling. I hate guling. Kalo bantalnya tebel gak dipake aja sekalian
Wake up from bed. Bengong dulu... (hihihi..sapa juga yang enggak?) Ngumpulin nyawa dulu pas bangun itu. Secara pas malemnya nyawa gw jalan2 kemana2,hehehe..
Kalo naik angkot suka merhatiin orang lain mulai dari ujung kepala ampe ujung kaki. Mau nenek2, cewek cakep maupun anak2. Kalo agak unik dikit aja pasti gw perhatiin. Cowok2 aja ada yg risih gw liatin. Maybe he tough i had a crush on him. Yeee.. Untung sekarang udh gak naik angkot lg.. Temen2 suka malu kalo naik angkot ama gw, hehehe..
Lagi makan.. Kalo ke KFC gw gak suka makan dengan neither saos sambal ataupun saos tomat. Papper and salt will do. Suka diketawain karena gak pernah makan ayam pake saos. Gak enak ajah... Makan pizza baru pake saos.
Paling males sisir rambut.. I'm really not a lady. Just comb my hair once a day. it still look great tough!! Kan lagi model yg kusut2, hihihi..
Always serious listening to somehing new that impress me. Any kind of it. Tapi kalo udh tau jd bosen..
Suka memikirkan sebab dan akibat.. Kalo ada temen suka ganti2 pacar gw pasti mikir gimana backgroundnya.. So orang mau bilang apapun kalo menurut gw itu fine2 aja, I dont care lah hai..
Gak ngerokok tapi selalu dapet racun nikotin dari sang pacar, hehe.. I dont take weed or E either. Just dont want to try it. Baik kan..
Cannot cook but willing to do it next time tough..
I dont like and will never like avocado juice. Dan apalagi juice lain yang kentel2 gitu.. Yikes. I just can't swalow it *_*
Love to read. When a book really interest me, I'll read them on and wake up next day with garfield eyes..
Always missed ramadhan the holy month and always try to be an angel. Tapi kalo udh selesai, setan gw keluar lg..
Selalu nangis kalo denger takbir tapi masih jarang sholat..
Love kids. I was a kindergarten teacher and my students love me.. Walopun ada yang komentar "Teacher..teacher.. kok teacher pendek sih?" Gubraks!!
Love going on boat but cannot handle sea sick.. Tetep gak nyerah, walopun mabuk laut gw tetep suka kalo naik kapal!!
I love cold tapi selalu alergi dan bersin2. What a weird combination!
Falling love deeply with my BF and always fight and always cry and still loving him..
Trully Virgo. I love to control everything..
Very bossy and annoying sometimes..
Always in rush and I hate waiting. Kalo nelpon taxi bisa nelfon operator seratus kali ampe taxinya datang ke gw.. Rani selalu bilang kalo nunggu pesawat boarding bisa2 gw yg jalan duluan :P
Loves make up, fashion and all those girlie things. Suka nonton Fashion TV diem2..
Suka cemilan banget..
Hate horror movies and loves adventure one.
Love sport shoes but always have to buy high heel one. To upgrade my height and boost my confidence. Kalo pake sepatu sport suka disangkain teen..
Suka horny kalo liat cowok..
Suka makan nasi pake garpu dan gak bisa pake sumpit. Sumpah deh susah bgt!
Love rain so much. Walopun banjir, baju gak kering2 ato gw pulang keujanan basah kuyup luar dalem. Tetep cinta mati dengan ujan..
Bad habbit. Suka guntingin kuku orang lain. Baik kuku tangan maupun kaki. Dulu paling sering guntinging kuku bokap sekarang kuku pacar..hehe..
Suka gigit kuku sendiri tapi kelingking aja..
Suka ngelawan. Ama nyokap, boss, wii..lama2 kualat gw..
Suka liat cewek nude daripada cowok. But, its doesnt mean that am lesbian. Female stripper way much better the male one
Suka blogwalking tanpa sedikitpun meninggalkan jejak.. Sigh..
Suka nangis kalo liat iklan yg menyangkut human. Waktu liat iklan Jarum ttg Dirgahayu RI aja ampe nangis. Bangsa yang hebat tapi terpuruk dalam kemiskinan (eh,kok jd ngelantur sih)
Suka sedih liat pengamen cilik ato pengemis tua..
apalagi ya.. Banyak, tapi gw udah males ngingetnya..

Yes, I'm a weirdo!!

Happy Weekend!!!

2006-11-23T16:11:00.000+07:00

How are you mate? Howdy partner? Bonjour at tous. Apa kabar semua?
It’s been ages since I haven’t post my blog. Works are still not done even until end of this year. Sigh.. Thanks God it almost over and I can take my day of tomorrow till monday. Yiiihaaa!!! I'll sleep and rest most of the time and maybe go to Bukittinggi for short trip.
I should take these days off and travel with my BF. But things not run as we plan to..
Despite of all that big fight that we had earlier. Hopefully we can have time to travel together on January..

However, am taking these days of for re- fresh my mind from work, and many other things. Still thinking how to make money other than my monthly salary. Just get an advice from Viv that, never spent ur own money on ur first bussines.. Yea… rite? Where can I find that guy who would like to invest his money on my project? Anyone interest? I can u send u my project planning.. Hehe..

I need to thanks God coz my life been so well lately. I got big bonus from my boss for my work on the boat. Its makes I pay debt on my laptop and finally I paid them in full, hehe… Just need to pay my Mio bike credit. Oh, my only brother success to passed his final exams yesterday. Finally after four years. Setelah 4 tahun yang penuh darah dan airmata (halah!bahasa gw). My only brother will get his first degree from economy major. Fiuh…
We also had family gathering last weekend at my house. So much fun. But, I become upik abu to wash all those dirty dishes. So tiring.. Secara gw nyuci piring berdiri dan betis jadi segede pemain sepakbola, huhuhuhu…

After graduation my brother might will visit my relatives I Bandung, West Java and try to find a job there. Hey, I should ask my BF to go Bandung as well. If our schedule is could be fixed... He keep promising me to bring me to Bali, Batam, Thailand. But it was never happen. So no more planning anything with him.. huhuhu.. I can’t blame him tough.. Coz when he had the time, I don’t..

This weekend my BF and his bule boss will go for pig hunting in the jungle. I cannot come coz no girls going. Its boys only weekend. Huhuhuhu.. Nevermind.. I’ll have many time with him till March next year due to off surfing seasons. He won’t have to sail and work on land... Yippie!!

I also wanted to visit my friends at campus before. It’s kinda sad when ur best friend at the old time send u sms with opening line “Hello Stranger! How are you?” Hmm… I miss that old time. But, hey I need to go with my aunty to take care my grandma house. Geez..So many things to do in such a little time.. (Lah tidurnya kapan dong kal

Hopefully I’ll have great weekend this time. Hope you to guys..
Jossi… Take care yourself in Bali, Okay.
Viv.. Just call me about ur arrival!
Tia.. Have fun in Jakarta. Don’t forget to bring me Krispy Kreme.. (I’ll kill u if u doesn’t :p )
Reena.. Why don’t we have girl’s night together? Miss talking to u sweetie..
Erlan.. Let’s have my sexy picture done!!
Femil.. Ngelayap keliling kota yuu..
Rani.. Najla is so adorable.. Can I keep her for 1 day? (wink)
Honey.. Come with me.. And u’ll have the ultimate great weekend ever.. (teasing..)

And to all my friends out there. HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!!

A broken heart's confession

2006-11-23T10:08:00.000+07:00

A broken heart's confession

I try to talk to you, but I don't know what to say.

I am afraid you don't want me to say anything.

So I don't. But inside of me there are words waiting to come out.

And tell you how I feel-like how I miss you..

And how I love you despite my broken heart.And how I need you in my life.

And especially how much I want you..

But those words may forver stay in my heart-locked inside..

Sometimes I wonder if there are words locked inside you too... but I'll never know

Get it from YM vivek jha: This is what i wrote to my girlfirend xiaoxia when we broke up.

Nice isnt it?

Gila...gw males banget nge-post blog. Jadi si Viv, ngasih ide ke gw. Daripada gw susah2 yo wis gw copy paste ajah!!
Thanks Viv..

a Girl

2006-11-14T10:31:00.000+07:00

When a GIRL is quiet, Millions of things are running in her mind.
When a GIRL is not arguing,She is thinking deeply.
When a GIRL looks at u with eyes full of questions, She is wondering how long you will be around.
When a GIRL answers "i'm fine" after a few seconds, She is not at all fine.
When a GIRL stares at you, She is wondering why you are lying.
When a GIRL says I love you, She means it.
When a GIRL says "i miss you", No one in this world can miss you more than her.

I got it from a friend of mine. Girls, isnt it so trueeee???? ;)

Living on the world like this..

2006-11-09T16:10:00.000+07:00

Don't you guys feel that living in the world like this is getting harder?
War everywhere.. Kids being kidnapped, young girls being rape.. Murder everywhere.. Fight between its own family.. Nothing was running on its track again..

Is it the sign of the doomsday?

How long will it last? I’m afraid the more we ‘see’ it the more it will effect us..

I wonder why some people could not see how beautiful things are.. I wonder why God had to give us GREEDY feelings that always make us wanted more and never satisfied..

I heard God created things in balance. There are black and white. Man and woman. Good and bad. Left and right. Angel and evil. Up and down. Sad and happy. Love and hate.

But the more you live in this world the more you know that most people are bad, evil and full of hate..

Why can’t we become angels and full of love for others?

salam kenal,
saya Ryan, cowok, 29 th, I accidently find this blogg through google. saya baru di pindah ke Padang dari Jakarta, sekarang ngantor di sini. dari pengamatan saya, kayaknya Anda gaul juga, makanya saya disini mau minta bantuannya untuk ngasih info tentang tempat-tempat tertentu yang kadang-kadang sulit saya cara misalnya :
1. Lokasi Penjualan Komputer dan Aksesorisnya yang rada-rada lengkap di Padang (cape juga khan kalo musti pesen ke Jakarta dulu)
2. Tempat makan Mie yang paling enak di Padang (saya doyan banget sama Mie, Bakso dan sejenisnya)
3. Tempat hang out yang suasananya nyaman, bisa rileks sambil ngobrol

oke mungkin segitu dulu, kalo Anda mau berbaik hati sih, mau dong di posting infonya, Thanks before

Asli, gw gak nyangka bisa dapet stranger kayak gini.. *Jadi terharu,hehehe...
Oke Mr. Ryan (whoever and wherever you are!) aku akan mengerahkan segala daya dan upaya *halah..* untuk menjawab pertanyaan mu

1. Lokasi penjualan komputer dan aksesoriesnya.
a. Anda bisa ke Ideal Teknologi computer di jalan Veteran No. 44 Padang Telp 0751 - 25728
b. Memory computer di Jalan Damar. Pas di seberangnya Gramedia. Eh gak ding agak serong dikit kalo dari gramedia
c. Trus ada lagi Maxindo computer di Jalan Belakang Pondok. Paling lengkap dikelasnya. Tapi malesnya kalo beli dikit suka dicuekin :P

2. Tempat makan mie yang paling enak? Aha!!
Ada beberapa tempat makan mie yang paling enak. Paling gampang mah tinggal ke Plaza trus makan deh mie deh di Pujasera,hehehe
Well, banyak tempat makan di Padang. Anda bisa ke Simpang Kinol di daerah Chinatown. Kalo anda non-muslim maka ada orang yang jualan mie lengkap dengan oink oink! Kemana lagi ya? Oh ya kalo mo makan bakso yang enak di Jalan Damar I (belokannya pas sebelum Gramedia) Terus aja ke dalam ada sekolahan Baiturahmah dan mereka jual bakso,somay, mie ayam, dll dgn harga 5rb perak aja!! Enak bgt!! Namanya Sari Roso.

3. Nah kalo tempat hangout yang nyaman? Ini yang gw suka!!
a. Hotel Batang Arau. Ada di jalan Batang No.33 Padang. Kalo mau ada liquor,etc. Segala minuman beralkohol ada disini. You named it they have it. Kalo mau agak temaram and romantis ama pacar kesini aja. Tempat ini dikelola oleh Christina Fowler (Amerika) sejak 7 tahun yg lalu. Rada susah kalo mau kesini karena gak ada plang. Liat aja Gedung Belanda lama (sejak 1908) di derah Muara dekat Jembatan Siti Nurbaya. Paling seru kesini kalo malem2. Trus kalo weekend suka banyak bule2 yang hang out. Tanya aja sopir taxi tau kok,heheh
b. Felas Café. Ada di jalan Hayam Wuruk.. Nah kalo disini banyak cewek2 abg yang ngumpul. Kalo lo mau hunting bisa disini,hehehe.. Makanannya enak. Servicenya bagus. Ko Harry and family served really good for us. Ada karaoke room trus ada live music juga. Ada liquor dan minuman alcohol lain.
c. Kemana lagi ya? Oh ya ke Paparons Pizza yang di plaza andalas juga seru!! Tempatnya asyik buat hang out!!

Hmmm....Gak seru ya kalo gak ada pic. Lagian juga susah kalo kalo dijelasin kayak gini aja. Naah.. Supaya lebih jelas lo mampir aja di kantor gw,hehehe...*mupeng*

PT. Bevys Sumatra
Jln. Batang Arau No.33 Padang.
We’re just inside the Hotel Batang Arau. So,kalo kesini dua tiga pulau terlampaui :P
Kalo lo mau hang out kita bisa pergi bareng!!

Ps: Buat yang lain, others picnya kapan2 aja,heheh..peace!!

HAPPY HALOWEEN!!!

2006-11-03T13:28:00.000+07:00

This posting was late three days. I supposed to post in on Haloween day Oct 31 2006. All of the females employee di Hotel Batang Arau got that witch hat and small pocket to keep our candies ;p and we must wear it during our work time. Sooo Much FUNNNN!!! Males employee was just staring at our cute hats coz they didnt get nothing :D

Christina was just fly back from Spore and brough many things including some stuff for haloween and she would like to held a Haloween Party. Too bad we cannnot find any pumpkin here. Adanya juga labu biasa yang untuk kolak. Kan gak seru!!!Berhubung aksesoris utk pesta gak mendukung jadi gagal deh partynya.

Happy Haloween y'all!!!! Xoxoxo!!!

Ps: Picture was taken at Jossi- Buuus office. I gained some weight. Thanks to all delicous foods after Lebaran :P
I need some excercise now!!

Back to work!!!!!!!

2006-10-30T09:37:00.000+07:00

Yiiihaaa!! After one week of holiday our office is started to work again. Its funny how I miss the office... (even hell of work need to be done!)
Okay, get back to work now. Caiyo!!!!!!!!
Ps: Banyak keluarga gw yg datang and nginep di rumah gw dr luar kota. Rumah jadi ramee bgt. But its fun!! Ketawa2 terus. I love my family and Idul Fitri is our chance to meet each other..

Selamat Lebaran

2006-10-24T00:07:00.000+07:00

Finally, after 1 month of fasting, we can arrive by the 1 st Syawal of 1427 H (islamic year), based on the lunar cycle. Which arrive by the 23 October 2006. Too bad that there are different opinion about this day. Some says its 23 and others says it 24. Why, there's different like this? Aren't we all moslem? Why should make it different..

Anyway, most of the people in Padang are having Idul Fitri on the 23 Oct 2006. It doesn't mean we are following on one organization, it just based on the moon calculation, it arrived that day..

The Idul fitri should not be ruined by this kind if problems. It should make us more wise and become humble as we are when we're having ramadhan.. *Don't forget to pray Sherlie..*

Now, I just want to say:

Happy Idul Fitri 1427 H.

Selamat Hari Raya Idul Fitri 1427

Mohon maaf lahir dan batin..

Kita semua datang atas undangannya Aii untuk berbuka bersama sekalian ngerayain Birthdaynya Kanna yang ke 2. Tapi gak ada yang bawa kado, kecuali kak yanti. Kak Aii,kadoku buat Kanna nyusul ya. hehehe...

Whenever we hang out, questions comes from those ibu2. " Sherlie,when you'll get married with Reno?" Gw selalu ngeles dgn nge-jawab: "Aduh..gimana ya.. Hari baik udah dapet, bulan baik udah dapet tapiii..Tahunnya baiknya belom dapet-dapet!!" huahahaha... Peace euy!

Marhaban Ramadhan

2006-09-22T15:49:00.000+07:00

If there is a day, There Must Be a night
If there is a black, there must be a white
If there is a mistakes, there must be forgiveness

Mata kadang salah melihat....
Mulut kadang salah berucap....
Hati kadang salah menduga.....
Maafkan segala kekhilafan yang pasti ada....

===== Mohon Maaf Lahir dan Bathin ======
Kepada semua bloggers, mohon maaf lahir batin jika ada kata-kata dan komentar dalam blog saya yang tidak berkenan atau menyinggung :-)

Do'a Malaikat Zibril Menjelang Ramadhan
"Ya Allah tolong abaikan puasa umat Muhammad, apabila sebelum memasuki bulan Ramadhan dia tidak melakukan hal-hal yang berikut:
* Tidak memohon maaf terlebih dahulu kepada kedua orang tuanya (jika masih ada);
* Tidak berma'afan terlebih dahulu antara suami istri;
* Tidak berma'afan terlebih dahulu dengan orang-orang sekitarnya"
Maka Rasulullah pun mengatakan Amiin sebanyak 3 kali.

Mama

2006-09-20T17:28:00.000+07:00

We lived in the same house for twenty five years. During those years. We always had arguments at least once a month.. We even don’t say a word to each other almost 6 month back in 1999. We always had arguments on everything..
I don’t know how that things happen.. What I know I don’t speak the same language with her..

Flashback
Waktu gw ultah kemaren mama nelfon ke hp sr telpn rumah. Sekitar jam 10 pagi. Mengucapkan selamat ulang tahun. Mama minta maaf karena waktu gw berangkat kerja mama masih di kantor. Dan mama tiba-tiba nangis… Nangis terisak-isak.. Gw cuma bilang, Sherlie nggak apa2 ma.. Tapi mama tetap nangis...dan nutup telpon tanpa bilang apa2 lagi. Mungkin..mama ngerasa kalo kita gak pernah deket.. Kita selalu berantem kulut..kita selalu beda pendapat dan akhirnya selalu saling membanting pintu… Gak tegoran berhari-hari..
Dan gw udah 25 tahun tapi masih juga berantem ama mama sendiri..

Terkadang gw mikir, kenapa gw gak pernah bisa akur ama mama. Jadi ingat ama teori yang di sampaikan Jossi. Jika ada 2 orang yang sangat mirip (sifat ataupun kepribadian) maka mereka akan saling gak suka satu sama lain. Mungkin karena gw mirip mama? Mungkin karena kita berdua tahu kita sama-sama punya sifat keras kepala..
Gw juga suka ketus tiap mama ngomong.. Padahal gak pernah maksud. Tapi mungkin karena banyak hal-hal pada diri mama yang nggak gw suka. Setiap hari gw ketemu mama. Pagi dan malam. Dan percakapan kita hanya berkisar:
Pagi, “Ma,sherlie berangkat dulu ya” trus di jawab “Ya, hati2 di jalan”
Sore ato malam kita nyaris gak pernah ngomong. Mama paling cuma bilang ada telp untuk gw ato ada surat buat gw. Nota bene kita emang gak pernah ngomong. Apalagi kalo lagi berantem bisa diem2an. Dan sebagai anak selalu gw yang berusaha negur mama duluan..

Chat gw dengan Jossi beberapa hari yg lalu on YM really knocks me in the head
[13:26:52] Jossi SurfAid says: nice blog :)
[13:27:01] Jossi SurfAid says: kamu pasti senaaaaaaaaaang sekali hari ini ya! kok mama jadi nangis gitu sher?
[13:27:14] Sherlie Yulvianti says: i dunno
[13:27:27] Sherlie Yulvianti says: i left home when she was sleeping
[13:27:28] Jossi SurfAid says: what did she say to you...
[13:27:30] Sherlie Yulvianti says: kasiaan
[13:27:33] Jossi SurfAid says: oh
[13:27:40] Sherlie Yulvianti says: gak ad cuma say ultah..trus nangis
[13:27:45] Sherlie Yulvianti says: mgkn karena kit gak deket
[13:27:49] Sherlie Yulvianti says: *sedih juga*
[13:28:16] Jossi SurfAid says: iya..mungkin mama ngerasain kamu tu ada jarak ama dia..she misses you i think
[13:28:28] Jossi SurfAid says: maybe you can ask her to go out..take her..just her and yourself
[13:28:50] Sherlie Yulvianti says: *mikir*
[13:29:03] Sherlie Yulvianti says: ya..aku emang gak pernah jalan berdua ama mom
[13:29:12] Sherlie Yulvianti says: we dont speak the same language
[13:29:22] Sherlie Yulvianti says: i dont know why..kita gak bis connect
[13:29:29] Jossi SurfAid says: perhaps that wil help her knows you more as her daughter
[13:29:34] Jossi SurfAid says: ini udah dari lama sher kayak gini
[13:29:53] Sherlie Yulvianti says: iya..aku cuekin aja tapi kayaknya tambah parah ya..
[13:30:06] Sherlie Yulvianti says: aku yg ketus tiap mo ngomong ama mama
[13:30:14] Sherlie Yulvianti says: gak tau knp?
[13:31:11] Jossi SurfAid says: hmmm ...aku juga kadang gitu..tapi memang kita sebagai anak sering lupa kalau orang tua walaupun mereka suka nyebelin kita mereka itu sangat khawatir dengan kita dan mungkin harus lunak lunak saketek walaupun kadang takareh tapi jan sampai kanai nan ciek tu...hatinya
[13:32:19] Jossi SurfAid says: i can be stubborn i can always diagree with my mom, tapi aku berusaha keras supaya hatinya tidak ibo...payah sih.namanya juga orang tua ya sher...kita kalau punya anak *if..pasti juga punya perasaan iba dan sudah tua,nggak dianggap penting atau nggak diperhatikan.
[13:32:44] Sherlie Yulvianti says: sis..u make me cry..
[13:33:39] Sherlie Yulvianti says: ya..every 1 need attention isnt it?
[13:33:43] Jossi SurfAid says: and i realize when i am away from her, i miss my mom.lucunya kalau udah ketemu pasti bete..jangan sedih dong.ini cuman perspektive aja dari cerita kamu tadi mama nangis di telpon..i have this feeling..she missed you
[13:33:47] Sherlie Yulvianti says: thank u for remind me that
[13:34:09] Sherlie Yulvianti says: aku juga heran she just cry on the phone..
[13:34:13] Jossi SurfAid says: coba aja deketin mama..ajakin makan bareng walaupun cuman bakso lewat bow
[13:34:17] Sherlie Yulvianti says: we live in the same house u know..
[13:34:32] Sherlie Yulvianti says: ;(
[13:34:33] Jossi SurfAid says: yes i know..u got to be her friend..i dont think she got friend at home
[13:41:16] Jossi SurfAid says: (hug)
[13:42:56] Sherlie Yulvianti says: makasih ya kak adek...

Dan gw baru bener2 nyadar..kalo mama ternyata butuh temen. Mama butuh gw.. Gw gak pernah nanya kabar ke mama. Gw gak pernah nanya gimana hari2 dia di rumah sebagai ibu rumah tangga. Gw gak pernah nanya kebutuhan dia apa.. Mama juga gak pernah nanya kabar ato kerjaan gw.. Dan itu yang bikin kita makin jauh.. Kita gak pernah pelukan.. Sejak gw SMP malah.. Kta gak pernah jalan bareng atau pun di dapur bareng. Kalo lagi berantem, mama dan gw berusaha untuk gak berada dalam satu ruangan bersama. Rani bilang, mungkin waktu di telp mama pengen minta maaf karena gak pernah deket.. Mungkin mama ngerasa kalo gw udah 25, udah tua, udah pantas jadi istri orang (mama udah punya anak 2 waktu umur 25) dan kita udah gak sepantasnya lagi berantem mulut yang gak jelas.. Gw tau hal ini,gw kepikiran terus sejak senin lalu. Gw pengen ngomong ama mama. Pengen meluk dia.. Pengen ngajak jalan..Pengen cerita2..

~~ Maafin Sherlie ya ma.. Sherlie pengen ngomong ama mama tapi sherlie gak tau mau mulai dari mana.. ~~

* Me and my mom. Photo was taken yesterday, September 19th 2006. Kita duduknya jauhan gitu..trus pas mau diphoto, mama pegang bahu gw dan nyenderin kepalanya ke kepala gw..*
--And this tears wont stop falling, I cant type anymore…

Happy Me!!

Story on the Weekend

2006-09-12T16:55:00.000+07:00

Last sunday I went with Buus a.k.a Jossi for a sigh seeing day to the mall. Alias cuma liat2 aja ke mall :P
I went to her house arround 1 pm and took public transportation to Plaza Andalas. Rencananya sih mau bawa mio tapi berhubung cuaca agak gelap better walking than driving under the rain
Anyhoo, it was really nice it just I had embarassing moments. It was my second day of period. And somehow it left some spots on my skirt and one teenage girl remind me on the running escalator. So ashamed..
And it forces me to buy new jeans. But its kinda cool tough.. Mana ada yang gedor2 waktu gw di kamar mandi mall karena gw kelamaan didalam. Geez..
It was really nice. We're dying to get the coffe late at paparons pizza but berhubung ada launching Speedy and they booked the whole and it makes us cannot enter it.. :( we get another coffe. at the pujasera on the top level of the mall. Yippe. Me and Jossi are coffe maniacs!!
Finally we went to get Dim sum at Damar street. We were walking from the mall. Tapi sayang it was not there. The Dim sum was at the other branch of Mega 2000 at Diponegoro street. Well well..the hungry stomach need to be filled then we decided to ate Tom Yam soups near Jossi's house.
Really nice weekend..

Ps:
1. Sayang malamnya gw gak bisa tidur ampe jam 4 pagi. My eyes wide open till 4 am in the morning.I blame it on the coffe!!! Tapi biasanya anteng aja tuh minum kopi..
2. Gak ada pic karena kita takut bawa2 kamera digital di atas angkot!

*Buuus is going to leave to Bali this weekend. She might stayed there for a month. I'll miss u Buus..

How Virgo Am I?

2006-09-08T15:39:00.000+07:00

You are 93% Virgo

September is my birth month.. I always feel sad. Fragile. There are still so many things that I haven't reach in this life. Still in the shadow of doubt..
In other way I also feel happy for the bless that God has gave me. For all my friends that stays around me, for my family that always supporting me and for someone out there that always be my shoulder to cry on..
I feel loved.. Thank you..
Ps: Well, all my dear friends.. I'm Having birthday this month. Its Party Time!!! Or should I said Party between friends on a comfy coach in small cafe. You are all please to come...
If you can't make it..well, a present from you will do and comfort me,hehehe... :P

Bad friend..

2006-08-26T13:24:00.000+07:00

Uchie, one of my best friends at high school will saying a vow and be a wife this afternoon and I cannot attend her wedding..
*tears falling..*
Hopefully I can be at her party tomorrow afternoon..

Ps: Maaf ya Chie, gw gak bisa datang ke pernikahan elo hari ini.. Padahal gw udah janji.. (Banyak kerjaan bgt di kantor.. Kapal gw yg berangkat td malam kembali ke Bungus tadi pagi karena badai. Mana tamunya pada complain.. Maap ya..)
Gw gak ngeles kok. Suer deh!! Besok gw pasti nemenin lo pas jadi anak daro..!!

Postingan sore-sore..

2006-08-15T17:41:00.000+07:00

Udah seminggu gw gak posting. Kerjaan biasa. Yang bikin kesel adalah selama dua minggu terakhir kota Padang mengalami krisis listrik. Jadi PLN menetapkan giliran lampu mati selama 2 jam, 3 x sehari. It means six hours without electricity. Sucks!! Bayangin aja hari gini gak ada listrik. Padang bagaikan kota mati. Mau ngurus apapun orang dengan anteng nge jawab.. Maaf ya lampu mati gak bisa nge-print..
Ngeselin bgt gak sih?
Kalo kita nanya ke PLN dengan antengnya mereka jawab.. Yaa mesin kita udah tua jadi gak bisa aktif seperti dulu lagi. Lagipula dayanya sedikit. Kalo gak percaya liat aja ke tempat mesin kami.
Helllo!!! Find the solution. Pake gas kek, air waduk ato apa gitu bukan cuma give up..
Kadang2 gw mikir jangan2 PLN kerjasama ama toko hardware yang jualan mesin diesel. Pan lumayan tuh demand masyarakat yang gak memiliki listrik tinggi sekali. Sigh...
Trus udah satu bulan belakangan, koneksi hot spot di kantor ngadat melulu. Thanks to Paul yang selalu sukses ngeles tapi gak pernah bisa ngasih pelayanan yang lebih bagus (Urrrghhh..)
Kira2 ada yang tau gak ama koneksi dr speedy..?

Hmm.. Gw ngantuk.. mau pulang dulu ah. Lusa gw libur dan besok pacar tercinta datang dengan kulit legam dr pulau. Aha!!
Sayang cuma dapat libur satu hari karena tanggal 18 ada kapal yang berangkat.

Ps: What is the meaning of Indonesian birthday this time? Empty..? Our country had too much problems that needed to sort out..
Indonesia adalah negara yang sangat kaya dan sangat besar. Kalo Singapura bisa maju mungkin karena luas negara mereka yang gak terlalu besar. Tapi di Indonesia.. Gede sekali. Mulau dari Aceh ampe Irian Jaya..

Hmm.. Like it or not. This is my country. Suatu saat gw bermimpi untuk bisa keliling semua wilayah Indonesia. Pergi ke Papua, liat suku dayak, liat pembangunan kapal layar di Bulukumba-Sulawesi, Belanja2 di Batam, trekking ke Siberut, ke Madura (karapan sapi masih ada gak ada ya?), bicara dengan penduduk lokal (kadang gw ngiri dan sirik liat host acara jelajah nusantara,dll. Mbok gw aja gitu yang pergi ke daerah pedalaman sana..)

Dan gw pengen pergi ke semua pelabuhan yang ada di Indonesia!! Sibolga, Tanjung periok, dsb..T
hat'll be lots of fun!!!!

Gosh.. Theres so much things to do and to see in our beloved country. And I'm proud to be Indonesian.
(walopun nulisnya pake bahasa inggris).

.:Dirgahayu ke 61 Indonesia-ku :.

Caiyo Sherlie!!

I miss you..

2006-08-05T17:34:00.000+07:00

Its weekend.. Forget about all the work now.. Weekend is day to relax. Day to treat ourselves. Day to get new energy and prepare ourselves again to work on Monday.

Weekend is also day for couples. Seeing those couples in the cafes , malls or or even in the street makes me jealous.. Jealous coz my boyfriend is not here.. Jealous coz no boyfriend to hold my hand.. Jealous to feel the desire that those couples had when they look into each other eyes.. Jealous coz boyfriend is far away..
And long distance relationship is deep sadness, its not that sad, but you feel lonely.. We know that we have someone out there.. But I still feel lonely coz I cant be with him..

However, the joy to meet your partner afterwards is hilarious. Nothing beat that feeling.. You cant describe the feeling of love.. You just feel it tickling in your stomach.. You feel that there’s butterflies that keep running inside your body..

Ps: I miss my you honey.. I really do.. And I want you to know that I want to grow old with you..

Thinker..

2006-08-01T11:15:00.000+07:00

Too much things running in my head for the last week. I had a job. I do. Its a great job in fact. But, the feeling to have my own company is tickling me all the time. Kenapa gw ngotot pengen punya usaha sendiri? Karena gw rasa gw bisa. Cuma belom nemu orang yang tepat aja buat kerjasama :) *buang ngasih modal*.
Beside it hard to leave the 'comfort zone' that I have now.
Satu lagi, gw pengen banget bisa buka usaha di Padang karena bisa di bilang perkembangan di kota ini stagnan banget. Gak banyak yang berubah. Kalo lo pernah ke Padang 5 tahun yang lalu well its all the same. Bahkan bule yang langganan datang untuk surf tiap tahun juga ngomong begitu.
Di Padang gak ada Industri. Gak ada pabrik garmen ato pabrik rokok. Cuma Semen Padang. Dan home industri dalam skala kecil yang lain. Ada orang luar padang yang komplain, katanya kalo mo bikin sesuatu di Padang, ninik mamak suka marah, gak suka ada perubahan atau hal baru.. Jadi yg mau invest pun males berurusan dengan para ninik mamak tersebut. Not that I blame them..
2 hari yang lalu Pasar Atas bukitinggi terbakar habis. Kalo yang pernah kesana pasti inget kalo disana banyak bahan bordiran dan juga ada pasar second hand. But its was all burn.. Ada yang bilang kalo ini sabotase karena ada mall baru mau di bikin dekat jam gadang. Hmmm...

Kalo di pikir2 kebanyakan income orang Padang berasal dari pertanian. Many riece field here.. Tapi ya pertaniannya pun gak di olah modern masih tradisionil. Masih pake tenaga manusia. Gimana mau selesai nge rontokin padi jadi gabah kalo pas panen luas sawahnya satu hektar.
Trus disini juga banyak pegawai negeri. Kalo awal2 bulan kayaknya kota ini baru ada gairah tapi kalo udah akhir bulan, wuuu boro2 mo ke pasar... Sepinya minta ampun..

Its sad to see this beutiful country was left behind like this.
Tapi banyak juga orang tajir di Padang. Most of them chinesse.. Ato para kontraktor yang punya usaha di Pekan baru ato tempat lain dan keluarganya ada di Padang.
Kalo buat sekolah dan safety, kota Padang emang numero Uno!!

Last week, friend of mine from states call me and offer an oppurtunity to do some project in Padang. But it was just so blur.. Or maybe I'm too confuse or afraid for this challenge..

Deep inside I want its running but its kinda frightening to leave the 'comfort zone' that I have now and move to another zone that seems to be good but need to..

Urrrrrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......

Ps: Please help me out of this.. Please someone tell me what to do. Where is my guardian angel?? Please help me out of this dillema..

Smiling me..

2006-07-31T09:41:00.000+07:00

First email that I read this morning makes me cant stop smiling.
Gosh.. I miss my 'crazy' friend so much..

Friend of mine, Miss Smarty Pants is in the need of donuts.. She's crazy about it and even dream about it. Ya.. kalo tinggal di Jakarta mah gampang tinggal pergi ke Dunkin Donuts and get a dozen of it. Tapi...sodara2 sekalian. Tidak ada Dunkin Donut di Padang. What??!! Really???!!
Yup.its true.. Pathetic isn't it? Kalo mau Dunkin Donut biasanya nitip ama temen ato sodara yang ke Jakarta.
Apalagi yang tidak ada di Padang? Hmmm..banyak..
Tidak ada A&W, tidak ada hoka2 bento, tidak ada MCD!! Apalagi Bread talk bahkan tidak ada Starbucks !!*sigh*
Itu hanya makanan aja kalo soal brand lebih tidak ada lagi. Tidak ada produk2 ato brand ternama di Padang. Seperti: Guess, Bonia, Bennetton, Mango, Zara, Top Shop, Esprit,dll. Tidak ada counter Maybelinne!! Huhuhu.. Hanya ada Revlon dan product dalam negri lain.

Trus apa dong yang ada di Padang?
Well, kita punya KFC,hehehe.. seinget gw sih itu dari waktu gw smp trus ada Texas chicken and California chicken. Pizza hut juga baru ada 2 tahun belakangan. Trus yang paling gress ada Paparons Pizza dan Tea Haus Bandung (bener gak sih nulisnya?). Brand yang paling baru ada Hammer trus Levi’s. Biasanya brand-brand ini Cuma numpang di toko2 ato butik2 lain. Gak punya their own shop.
Kenapa tidak ada brand yang ternama di Padang? Well, hard to say, tapi menurut gw ini dikarenakan daya beli masyarakat Padang yang sangat rendah. UMR untuk tahun 2006 hanya Rp 650,000 dan banyak pengusaha-pengusaha lainnya yang hanya memberikan upah kerja hanya 400rb atau 500rb aja per bulan..
Jadi mungkin karena itulah gak ada franchise2 dari brand ternama tersebut di Padang. Mereka gak mau ambil resiko untuk gulung tikar nantinya.. Lah gimana mau jualan kalo gaka ada yang beli?

Kembali ke soal donut, gw jadi inget donut legendaris dari US, KK Donuts alias Krusty Kreme. ( I know about this donut from Oprah show and it makes me dream about it… *lapar mata*).
I heard rumors, katanya ada Krusty Kreme di Bali? Is it true? Well, jikalau ini benar aku mohon kepada teman2 ku yang ada di Bali utuk mengirimkan Krusty Kreme barang satu kotak ke Padang untuk gw dan Miss Smarty Pants. Pleaaaaasssseee….
Nanti kita kirimin kripik balado sanjai deh, hehehe..

Ps: Ada yang mo nanam modal untuk buka Starbucks gak di Padang? Yah..walopun gak starbucks tapi paling gak ada yang mau buka tempat untuk ngupi-ngupi ama temen.. Daku mau jualan tapi apa daya tak ada modal L
Eh,ada home production Mandailing Coffe kualitasa exsport lo disini.
Just give me a call for this. We can start this things together. *wink…wink..*

The great legend of Minang Kabau

2006-07-01T15:23:00.000+07:00

Kepada setiap Bule yang datang ke Padang, gw selalu nanya "Is it ur first time coming to Padang?". If they answered 'No', I'll them another story. But, if they answered 'Yes', Then I'll start to tell them the story of Minang Kabau. Naaahh..karena udh banyak bule yg tau cerita ini gw mo ceritain lagi ke dalam bahasa Indonesia ajah!

Dulu sekali katanya orang dari negeri seberang (katanya sih dari pulau Jawa) datang ke daerah sumatra barat dalam rangka 'Take over' negeri ini. Waktu itu kita lagi miskin, jangankan buat perang, buat makan aja susah. Karena bingung gimana mau ngelawan orang dari negeri seberang, tetua negeri ini gak mau kalah. Mereka ngusulin untuk adu kerbau aja. Dengan taruhan kalo kerbau negeri seberang menang tanah minang kabau akan jadi milik mereka dan kalau tidak tetap menjadi milik urang awak. Pihak negeri seberang setuju. Hari perlombaan pun ditentukan.

Tetua (ninik mamak,urang sumando)dan seluruh penduduk negeri ranah minang resah karena kerbau yang akan dipakai untuk taruhan kurus-kurus dan kecil semua. Ini dikarenakan karena situasi negeri yang lagi morat-marit. Sementara Kerbau dari Pihak negeri seberang sangatlah besar. Tidak sebanding dengan kerbau dari negeri ini.
Tetua memiliki ide. Mereka akan memisahkan seekor kerbau kecil dari induknya dan tidak memberinya makan sebelum hari aduan dan Mereka juga akan memasang pisau di kepala kerbau kecil tersebut.

Hari yang ditentukan telah tiba. Orang dari negeri seberang tertawa melihat kerbau kecil milik penduduk negeri ranah minang. Yang mereka tidak sangka adalah ketika kedua kerbau berada di lapangan maka kerbau kecil tersebut berlari mengejar kerbau besar karena megira itu induknya dan berusaha untuk mendapatkan air susu.

Apa yang terjadi? Pisau yang berada pada kerbau kecil tersebut langsung menusuk perut pada kerbau besar. Kerbau kecil menandak-nandak ingin mendapatkan air susu. Pisau pun terus tertusuk pada perut kerbau besar. Sampai akhirnya kerbau besar terbeut mati.

Seluruh penduduk negeri ini bersorak sorai dan berteriak "Manang Kabau..manang kabau!!!" yang artinya Menang Kerbau..Menang Kerbau!!.

Sejak saat itu negeri ini pun dikenal dengan nama Minang Kabau. Dan memakai simbol kepala kerbau untuk setiap rumah adat kami.

Ps: Maaf kalo bahasa gw rada aneh. Lebih mudah menceritakan legenda ini dalam bahasa inggris ternyata :P. Susah juga menulis bahasa Indonesia yang baik dan benar :D

I Hate and Love Monday :D

2006-06-26T16:39:00.000+07:00

Yiihaaa.. Its Monday again. How is your weekend guys? I had a great weekend!! *Blush*
My boyfriend is back in town. Yippi!!!
Yea..yea,.. I know what ur thinking ‘what a cheesy girl’ talking about her love life. That’s is why I don’t write a lot about him.
Coz I want to make it personal now and I don’t want you to think that I’m cheesy lover and menye-menye,hehehe.. Besides, my boyfriend will never read my blog. He saw it once it before and not interested at all. He’s more attracted to boat engines or wave point or anything to do with ship. And I love him just the way he is..

Anyway, I succeed to come to the office today with ‘Garfield” eyes *wink wink*. I hate to come to the office this morning.. I hate it because I don’t have enough rest (yee..sapa suruh begadang!) and I’m not fresh at all, I don’t look pretty as I used to be :P

Instead of that, I really like to do all the stuff at work. Need to extend visa for foreign crew, need to check boat paperwork, need to check about the boat schedule. Etc etc. And mostly I love to come the office for the 24 hours Internet conection, Hihi..

Christina my boss was a little bit busy, taking care her ‘big baby’ Hotel Batang Arau. But she still have time to ‘push’ us to make itinerary of day tour in Padang. Different from other day tour used to be.

Aha!!
This is why I love Monday. I love the new idea at the office. The creative people around me and many other things.

I don’t care if I look like Garfield today. This bulb of ideas running in my heads and it makes me alive!

Lets get to work now. Caiyo!!!

Lagi males..

2006-06-23T16:46:00.000+07:00

Pengen nge-post soal kota Padang and the people tapi males ngetik :))

Pengen cerita2 soal kerjaan tapi masih males,gak tau mulai darimana..

Pengen nonton pulang tapi males bawa motor..

Huaaa...intinya gw emang lagi MALES..
*Keluh...*
Hoahm...

Gay, Queer and faggot.

2006-06-17T12:08:00.000+07:00

I've just watching some DVD series. It called "Queer as a Folk". Its about life of 4 gay man. I could say this movie is just similar to the serial of "Sex and the City" in gay version :)
Watching this moving just like watching gay porn.. It shows everything.. Its kinda 'sad' to except that good looking man are not into women.. What a waste.. :D

This movie also remind me to this dear friend of mine. Back when I was 18 years old and do many stupid things.. Just call him Pepno. Hardly to say he's the one that changed a lot my way of thinking. But no matter what, he stays in my heart as my trully friend..

We're dated for more than a year. But one day he wanted to talk to me very seriously..
" Sherlie, we've been together for many time but, I have to admit you something. After I'm telling I want u to stay by my side.. You're the first one who knows about it..
Your my best friend Sherlie.. I love you so much.. But I can not love u the same way like a man love to a women. I try hard. But I can't..
I'm gay.."

That word really shocked me. I just keep silence. Thinking about everything. About the love and passion we used to have, the touch, the kiss, the lust, everything.. I just couldn't get it..

It took a lot of time for me to get over it.. If your boy friend cheat on u with other girl is common. But, when he admit to u that he's gay that's something..

Well,we stay friends now.. Really good friend. I know exactly his life and he know exactly mine. The good and the worst things. We know each other better than ourself..

I remember he's saying this to me..
I don't want to be gay Sher.. I really don't.. I think it comes in my genes.. Do you realize that every girl has XX cromosom on their body and n boy has XY cromosoms? They will never be a man with YY cromosoms.. And because of that there's always feminime things in every man. No matter how macho they are..
I'm not sissy... I don't want to be she male.. I just attracted more to man than a women.. I want to be cured. I want to have a normal life.. I think I would be perfect If I was born as a girl. And I'm asking this question to God. Wonder why he made me like this.. Why?

Its weird isn't it? How could it be? Do you really think that gay, not she male one!!
Could blame their sexsual orientation to a cromosoms? Isn't it just a way of life? Or maybe they've been abuse sexually back when they're child? Is God has other plan? Even long time ago we heard the story of Saddam and Gomorah..

It pop up a question to all of you..

What really cause gay in one man?

Bali dan Padang

2006-06-14T15:46:00.000+07:00

Bos gw Christina baru nyampe dari Bali kemarin. Bawa banyak oleh2 dan segudang cerita. She said she stays at quite luxury hotel which only cost her 250k IDR. She also stays at Odeck. I don't know him but I guess he's quite familiar in Bali.
Anyway, the story goes. Christina had hundreds of ideas running in her head and because of that she insist to bring me and Yossi to Bali by end off this surf season. Maybe arround December. She wants us to get the same ideas there and explore it here in Padang. Yiiihaaa!!!

I never been to Bali (so pathetic,shame on me..) So, the story from that island of God always fascinating me. I have lots of friends who stays in Bali or even went there for vacation.
One of them is Reena. She's a surfer girl and always come to Bali everytime she got the chance.
Salah satu percakapan gw dgn Reena sbb:
Reena : Ke Bali dong Sher..murah lo sekarang..
Sherlie : Yee..lo ada pacar yg sponsorin
Reena : enggak kok murah.
Sherlie : Nginep diman di Bali? Hotel mahal bgt kan?
Reena : Ada tempat gw nginep cuma 50 rebu semalam apalagi kalo long stay
Sherlie : Really? Aman gak Reen?
Reena : Aman dong Sher.
Sherlie : Kalo lo ama pacar lo gak di tangkap satpol pp ya? gak di grebek gitu? gak di bawa ke kantor polisi??
Reena : HUAHAHAHAHA..Sherlie Sherlie mana ada satpol pp di Bali..hihihi
Sherlie : (melongo) Sumpeh lo Reen?
Reena : Definetely honey! U have to come to Bali this year. U have to

The point of this conservation is Bali will never ever be the same with other tourist city in Indonesia.
The culture in Bali is welcoming everyone there. Off course there are some lines but it wont' make any difficulties. Bahkan kantor Palyboy Indonesia aja pindah dar Jakarta yang katanya kota metropolitan tapi msh byk yg narrow minded.

The difference in Padang, selain satpol pp yg suka nge-grebek tadi adalah the moslem culture. I'm moslem myself. But to be very honest we are very strict here..
U can't walk arround only with tank top. They stares at u. Mens stares at ur legs when u're wearing knee skirt. And many other things. And the most new is our major of Padang issued some rules that obliged every moslem students girls must wear veils to school. Every single day. Gila panas bgt kan? Padang itu kalo siang hari bisa panas banget dan sekarang setiap anak kelas 6 SD harus punya sertifikat mengaji supay abisa ngelanjutin ke SMP. Its a must. Kalo gak, nggak bisa sekolah. Weird isn't it?

Me, as ground hadling guests always walk arround with many white guys or even just some worker at the boat/office. Other peoples always look at me and think I'm a hooker. and saying..
"Ondeh gadang itunya ma ni, lai talok tu?? translate Wah gede itunya tuh mbak, kuat nggak sih?"
And that time I'm wearing my blazer and high heel shoes.. Very depressing.. Thanks God its over now.. Karena saking banyaknya bule yg jalan2 ama gw then mereka baru nyadar kalo gue proffesional guide. Sekarang kalo jalan sendiri mereka nanya
" Kok ndak baok bule ni? ndak ado turis lai? translate "kok nggak bawa bule mba? gak ada turis ya?
Hell, ur asking!! Ada bule malah di pelototin.

See, Padang and arround its area are really beutiful for those tourist. We have Bukit tinggi and Mentawai and many other great place but it wasn't organize and managed very well. Gimana mau maju kalo cara pikirnya masih jelek kayak gitu?

I really wish that Padang people will have open mind and except difference, If not I'm afraid Christina or other investors will never want to stay in Padang ever..

Bad Girl versus Good Girl..

2006-06-13T12:44:00.000+07:00

Its about behaviour and style of life. What is the different between bad girl and good girl?
I have friend of mine that asking me (after had sex without marriage with a man for the first time)
asked me if I still consider her a good girl.
For some people who doesn't know her she was really next door girl. Wearing glasses and never speak out loud. She's been nice friend indeed. It just a mistake take that she slip the way and had sex.
Is she become a bad girl after sleeping with one guy without marriage? I don't think so..
You can't judge someone as a bad girl just like that. I believe deep inside she still girl next door who stay as she is. I would never ever think that she's a bad girl.
Other girl friend. Named her Sweetie. Always had a boy friend for 3 or 4 months depends on situation. She always sleep with her boy friend. Most of them white guy. Never asked money or any material things from her boy friend. They had sex coz, they just like it as it is. She's not drinking or smoking neither weed. Would u think her as slut? She's a young smart women and I always admire the her minds works. I used to work a lot with her before. And I would never ever think she's a slut coz I belive deep inside she's just looking for attention.
Another friend. Always had sex with her boyfriend. So far she jz had 4 of them and the last one, I mean they r still together after 6 years. Is she bad girl? No, she's a smart carrier women. Very nice girl. Just a like lady. You would respect here as soon as u meet her.
What is the different between them and some whores in the street? Is it money? I don't think so.

So, my question for you all my male friends.
Would u consider a nice girl as a bad girl if they had sex with their boy friend?
What if they do it in the name of love?
What if their relation wouldn't last forever? Would u take her as ur girl friend?

What is really bad girl for you?

Le Roy

2006-06-12T13:15:00.000+07:00

Ini Doggie-nya boss gw. Namanya Le Roy!! Very cute and,spoil and playfull dog. Secara kantor gw berada di Hotel Batang Arau dan banyak tamu yang keluar masuk, then Christina decided to have a dog. Bukan buat jaga sih tapi khusus buat di mainin ama bule2 yang kesepian dan datang sendiri,hihi.. Lah wong Le Roy tingginya cuma 30 cm.
Kita2 di kantor juga sering mainin. Lumayan buat ngusir kantuk.. :P
*Off the Record--> Chistina selalu wanti2 jgn pernah ngasih makanan lain selain dog food yg khusus dia beli buat Le Roy tapi Hengki, our driver selalu sukses ngasih tulang ayam buat Le Roy !
Alhasil, Le Roy selalu ngejar2 Hengki.
Atau mungkin juga karena Le Roy doggie yang homo,hihi..

Blur..

2006-06-07T15:17:00.000+07:00

I'm feeling blue at this moment.. Nggak tau sedih aja.. Padahal orang lagi rame banget di kantor. Ada tamu bule sekita 30 orang tapi tetep aja ngerasa sepi.. What is wrong with me?
I'm trying to look back and thinking why I feel this way?
Everything just run normal..
I worked on sunday. Arrive at the office by 11am secara gw harus nyci dan nyetrika baju dulu. I almost lost my voice karena kebanyakan ngomong ama kru yang minta uang trip mereka, tukang angkat yang minta upah , guide yang demanding, etc. Three boats was leaving that day!! Tired.. But, I enjoyed my eyes by seeing nice sunset at bungus beach.. walopun banyak yang pc-pc *pacaran :( still it was beutiful sunset for me.. At 7 pm, my dad pick me to the office. We'll celebrated my sister birthday at KFC with the entire family. Including Oma and Tommy, my cousin and Helen, my brother's girl friend..
Everything was fine..
Monday.. Not so much things to do.. Christina was planning to leave to Bali.. I need to pick 6 passport of Dahsuskim holder at immigration office. Give the officers my fake smile and some money to 'smooth' my way..
I'm trying to go home early. But Mr. Koa Nyuyen, special guest chef from Vietnam is just cooked his diner.. I couldn't go before testing the food, hehehe..
Meanwhile we're also saying good bye to Ms. Sashimar. Thailand girl who grew up in States and dedicated herself for health of the Mentawai people.. Sad already. Coz she's really nice girl indeed..
Pas mau pulang kerumah mampir dulu utk beli kado Sherin. I gave her a puzzle. And soft animal pillow for Oma. Everytime Oma comes to my house she always sleep at my room. I have hundreds of dolls and pillow. She love it and asked me to buy it for her.. I always said .. later grandma..later..
But then, I read an english article from Readers digest Indonesia June 2006 edition. Skip! I won;t tell you the story, It just remind that if I don't buy this soft pillow for Oma, she probably will never get it soon coz she's almost 80. I don't want to regret it..
But since it was a very heavy rain and I'm on my Mio bike, I don't want the pillow get wet and asked the shop attendant to get them tomorrow..
I went home with all wet coz I don't have my rain coat. I'm wet all in and out, if you get what I mean :p.
Langsung main puzzle berdua sherin dan went to bed by 11pm. After 12 my eyes won't get closed so i decided to took my sleeping pill..

Tuesday.. I need to prepared the port clearance of MV. Sans Souci. Work like usual. Yossi went back early today karena ibu bos yang satu ini ada pelatihan di kantor bea cukai. Sebenarnya gw mau ikut tapi biayanya mahal banget 7 jeti hanya utk 2 bulan pelatihan..
Anyway, I try to back home at 5.30 and another big rain comes.. Luckily I prepared my coat. But still it was still wet. coz its really heavy rain.. Arrive home and mom is playing with the puzzle now. Watching my favourite cartoon. Spongebobs. Dan gw baru nyadar kalo film kartun Avatar, the legend of Aang ternyata keren banget..
Trying to sleep early this time..

Wednesday.. Three boats arrive from Mentawai and Sans Souci and MV. Saranya is also leaving.. And we have over than 30 bule come in and out. Really busy at the office.
My boyfriend also arrive today.. But, he just stoped by for 5 minutes at the office and went back to his home. He need to visit his grandma graveyard.. She passed away, one day after he left Padang.
I miss boyfriend alot but he's not missing me as much as I do I think.
maybe this is because last week his ex girl friend terrorize me day and night. I won't tell the story here.
It ashamed.. Sometimes I was wondering if my boy friend really 'into' me.. I love him that for sure but I just couldn't.. I don't know..

That is just happening to me for this last three days. Its been like that most of the time. I miss hang out with friends.. I miss the joy of laughing with friends. I did hang out with Hafif and Jossi. But I wasn't enough..
I miss going to the club without need to worry I'll look like a zombie in the next day.. I miss having fun. I miss the jokes at my campus before. I miss all the fun things..

Narsis me :)

2006-06-03T12:09:00.000+07:00

I'm being narsis for this time. Trying to show off my pictures in different pose. I know some of you wouldn't like it. But I don't care. If we want to be loved by others we must love ourselves first.

Hang Out with friends!!

2006-06-02T10:08:00.000+07:00

Helloo..foto ini diambil sama Jossi, from Surf Aid. Waktu gw, Jossi-not in the pic dan Hafif (www.hafif.info/blog) lagi menikmati senja yang indah di Singapore..Hehehe..nggak ding.. Photo was taken at Paparons Pizza, Padang Branch. At Plasa Andalas.
