Looking back - March 2005

Take a look at the above picture carefully. Any familiar face?

Then take a look at this one. Can you guess which face is whose? I don't think we've changed much...

Should the first picture be slightly bigger, I would be the easiest to spot as many claim I haven't changed since my primary school era. What with my glasses (thick ones) and ponytail always intact daily.

In March, all I can remember was I had this one killer deadline to meet at work, benumbed me from any living excitement except to eat. I mean, no mood to do anything interesting. All energy was drained in that squeezing company (it is "that" not "this" so you know whether I have tendered or not). Then I realized that there was one week perfect for going back to Kalideres, it's the area where my small house (my parents' I mean, not mine) resides in Jakarta. Indeed it's oh-so-ulu (remote from any form of civilization). It was just right after my deadly deadline and it was when I had my first-term break (only 1 week, i.e. 1 session) of painting class. So off I went to Muhibbah and already had a ticket on my way back from Bugis.

Some of my ex-classmates welcomed me back to town by having a teeny weeny reunion in Plaza Indonesia. I ate nasi liwet plus soto betawi and es campur. Cihuy bajay deh!! At the same time had my spoon ready to have a nibble or more from others' plates.

Continued to Gelaré, ate another share of ice cream and waffle. Uhuhuhu enak sekaliii... Despite our ageing process *ehm ehm* we still laughed like before, a kind of laugh that my friend claims to be traumatizing to any guys around. May be devastating for their psychological side, some say. But we were grown up with that kind of laughter, so what to do?

The only guy around (i.e. my dear brother) was cool. I mean, really cool, flipping a cool magazine. Simply because he is well-trained regarding anything related to "Sanur". What with two sisters around, a special someone *uhuuuyyy... good choice, bro!! -> narcissism sejati* and many friends...

The "pondering thought" from this so-called reunion, though teeny-weeny can be seen here.

CD: still Let's Folk (CD #2), American Pie (Don McLean)

hueheuheue Oom Dodol, si Ite ga ada di situ.

By "Ite", she would stand in the front row. By "Ite" she will smile too broadly. So if you couldn't see the aforementioned two, it's clear she's not there *rada maksa kayaknya*

Gua sekelas sama si Ibu Ite cuma pas kelas satu. Itu foto kelas 3, jaman mau pensiun.

About the foto, despite the "titik-titik only" look, a friend has guessed my position correctly.. ckckckckck
