  • Midnight

    Midnight coffee has become a routine for me for these past two weeks. All the haze and craze about final paper and student teaching report paper have taken their toll on me. I should’ve finished writing them, like, last week, but you know me. I’m the number one procrastinator of the year and the best deadline-runner. There’s something about the adrenaline-rushing, heart-pumping procrastination that I just can’t live without. It’s in my blood, ya know.

    But perhaps, there’s another reason why it takes me so long to finish my papers although I’ve spent nights staying up late. It’s the fact that when the clock strikes two, I always find myself reminiscing last year. There’s a lot of thing happened last year. And even though I’m okay now, I can always find something to be sad about from last year’s memories at 2 in the morning in every single day.

    Every now and then, I need to remind myself of something someone told me a few months ago:

    What can’t be fixed can only be forgiven.

    And let go, if I might add.

    And here’s a song that I dubbed as “Soundtrack of June 2012”:

  • Keuken #4 The Jolly Camaraderie

    *NOTE*
    I wrote an Indonesian version of this post here. It’s not exactly the same, but they generally talk about the same thing.

    Among other things that A and I both love, perhaps food has the top place. This Sunday afternoon, we went to Burger King to enjoy their Hot Challenge deal before going to his place to have chiffon cake. Not only that, on the evening, we went to Keuken, an annual food festival. We had ramen and kebab there. My stomach is overjoyed (but also overwhelmed).

    Since we didn’t get the chance to spend Saturday night together, this Sunday night date was super fun and really helpful for me to escape from the head-spinning revision of skripsi proposal. The due date is today, but ho and behold, I had finished it less than an hour ago! Now I can finally get some sleep.

    See you 🙂

  • An Upcoming Something + An Announcement

    A and I had a small photo session this afternoon. We’re planning on doing a collaborative-project-sort-of-thing. The whole concept is still under construction, but hopefully we can announce it soon.

    On a side note, Miss Molly gave birth to three uber cute kittens today. I know I haven’t said anything about her pregnancy in this blog; I’m really sorry about that. She went into labour this morning and the last kitten was born in the afternoon (while I was away). It was her first pregnancy and she’s still very young (I used to joke that if she were a human, she would be on 16 and Pregnant :p) but she proved that she is a badass lady cat. I’m so proud of her. The three kittens are healthy, but I haven’t named them yet as I still can’t distinguish their sex. Pictures are going to be shared as soon as they can strike a pose.

  • The Special One is Back!

    After six years of waiting, I finally got the good news. Yes, it’s official. Jose Mourinho is back to The Bridge. The club’s official website has announced it a few minutes ago that The Special One has signed a 4 year contract to be The Blues’ manager. I’m a happy girl 🙂

  • Duck, Duck, Goose!

    Is it embarassing to say that I had never had duck until tonight? Well, there I said it. People always say that duck tastes better than chicken, but because it looks brownish and hard to chew, I always skipped it. Today, however, A and I finally got the voucher that I talked about in this post. It’s a IDR 20k discount in Bebek Garang, a restaurant serving duck menu. We were like “Yay! Free dinner!” but then we made a huge mistake. We went to a wrong branch of Bebek Garang and they didn’t accept the voucher there, so we got to pay. Duck is definitely more expensive than chicken, so we spent like IDR 80k tonight for two main courses, two drinks, and one side dish. It was more expensive than our usual meal for Saturday night, but it was absolutely worth it. The food was very nice and we both really enjoyed it. The serving was also super quick and the toilet was clean. The only thing I hate about Bebek Garang was the fact that they don’t have a special smoking area, so there were some people who smoked in the indoor area. It was very annoying. But in general, I would recommend Bebek Garang to you for the nice food 🙂
