Menarik Napas

Perasaan makin hari kerjaan daku makin yahud buanyaknye *sobs* Sekarang even though kadang2 abis ketemuan client ato pas makan siank bisa nyuri2 waktu buat ke mall, hati gue juga dah nggak "tune in" buat belanja ato sekedar cuci mata *hix*
Ini badai ndak bakal reda sampe abis Chinese New Year deh, dan makin tahun kayanye kerjaan gue makin membludak *narik napas panjang*
Aniwe...bokap ama nyokap gue lagi di sini nih, , sejak kemaren malem sih. Tapi mereka ndak tinggal di tempat gue karena kamarnye dah di-occupy ama si nuniek, so mereka tinggal di tempat tantenye bokap gue. Tadi seharian dicuekin gara2nye gue sibuk kerja, dan dengan perasaan bersalah tadi gue beliin dinner buat mereka, dan akhirnya gue ajak drive thru liat2 lampu di orchar road sih...pan light up...oh ye gue dah sempet poto2an (maksude moto2 light upnye, bukan moto diri gue dengan background light up) sih beberapa minggu yg lalu cuma ndak sempet aplot *alasan*

Doh tambah stress deh gue...yang pasti yah tamunye pada naek mobil "CD" atuh...mana mungkin pula bisa smart casual....dah gue ndak punya gaun malam lagi (Agnes pasti ngakak2 baca-nye), bukannye ndak punya sih, cuma bingung ajeh masa ke zoo pake gaun malam *garuk2 kepala* even though ruangannye bakalan ber-ac..tapi kan lucu ajeh....

Dengan cueknya gue jawab,"Of course lah, you always buy chep biscuit what." Jahat nggak sih gue kuakakakakkak......

Starbucks

Seeing my last posting I feel very pathetic, sad about my self. Actually If I don't feel like writing, better don't do so.
Okay now going into our topic fo today, Starbucks. For those who knows me well, I love coffee very much. I think I've mentioned in the previous posting before about my love of coffee. It's actually started from my final thesis in Trisakti, as I had to stay until very late at night, with reason that I couldn't get inspiration during the day *blush* then coffee become my best friend.
Continued with my stay in Sydney, I found that coffee, is becoming more than my best friend, moreover after I met Megumi (my Japanese flatmate), who taught me to drink coffee without sugar to enjoy the aroma and the taste of the coffee better.
Finally I joined Australian Starbuck as the first batch, where I was heavily trained about coffee, as the shop hadn't been ready to be opened. I don't know whether you'll still be trained as what i had in previous time when you joined Starbucks crew or not. But let me tell you those experiences are very precious. (eh tau2 banyak yg daftar starbucks lagi gara2 baca postingan gue *ge er*).
But now with all my depression and panick attack thingy, I can't take caffeine at all, so you can imagine how suffering I am now, from the coffee addict to a coffee clean sheet. As I believe if you wanna take coffee, then take real coffee lah...don't take decaf.
I've tried a few times before, as I thought my condition is getting better, but I got knocked out again because of coffee. The the doctor told me,'Why don't you try decaf?" Then I tried to buy decaf, but yet it's tasteless....
As times goes by, now I make a come back to Starbucks, but everytime, I always order the same thing "Decaf grande Ice Mocha with Low Fat Milk and No whipped cream" please. I don't know whether I pronounce it right, because there are certain convention how you pronounce the drink @ starbuck as a crew, I forgotten those already.
Then everytime i ordered my drink the person around me always give me strange look, which the crew sometime does the same, may be they though why don't I just ordered ice choc instead, my defence is, I need a coffee injection, but in order to camouflage the taste of decaf I use choc, and I'm lactose intolerrant, so I can only order low fat (I used to order soy bean milk instead when I was still in Sydney, but yet in here no soy milk available *sobs*).
Well, the moral of the story are:
1. There are many ways to Rome
2. No rattan, the root is still okay lah..(Tak ada rotan, akarpun jadi *grinned*)
3. If you went to Starbucks and heard a woman ordering "Decaf Ice Mocha with low fat milk and no whipped cream, please" with a "cute voice" that must be me......

Sunday

"Kopi Darat" was cancelled yesterday, as lots of people couldn't make it.
So we went to see "Shark Tale". It's quite good and funny but yet I still prefer "Finding Nemo".
Actually I had written such a long story, but yet suddenly it all gone without me saving it, so now I'm not in the mood of writing.

Kopi Darat Gagal

Hikssssss huaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa......... kopi daratttt gagal....... pada sakit hiksss....
yah sudah yang pada sakit semoga lekas sembuh yahhhhhh....

Morning @ Orchard Rd

Sorry for not updating my blog for so long, I know all of you miss me very much *ge er*
Anyway this morning I followed CC to the dentist, but I went shopping instead accompanying CC @ the dentist *senyum licix*
I did people watching also, then I realised the crowd are Tai-tai who goes shopping to kill time (bearti gue juga ya? kuakakkakka), salesmen who escape from work and don't know where to go which can be recognised from their face (belagu dan senga banget), and their clothing (rapih banget sangat business like deh, padahal cuma salesman).
Later in the day about lunch time, then i could find students who are released early from school, as now either they are ahving exams or had finished their exam, so it's time for joying around @ Orchard.
Annoyingly, in front of Isetan Scott, starting to have those time sharing sales who looking for their target. Quite surprise though they are still around *sigh*
Finally I got what I want...it's a Mango Privilege Card *blush* yeah actually I'm not a fan of Mango, as I prefer Zara than mango, but anyway I am just a normal card collector.....
