New Place, New Stories

Wheee... finally ViewPoint has a new office building! It's no longer in Tomang Ancak, but we moved to Bidara. Still in Tomang area (okay, actually it's just a few blocks away from the old place..), so I don't have to find another staying house to get near XD
So last Monday, VP was officially 'pindah kantor'. All the VP-ers were so excited about this new place, arranging the furnitures and stuffs (my goodness, I myself had 3 big boxes contained "Chibi - Marketing's Stuff" *__*) For two whole days we set up all the things - including telephone and internet connection, the tables and chairs - I got a desk at the front corner near the living room - and so far we are pretty satisfied with our new office's look.
It's white and sleek - simply modern out-of-ikea-catalogue kind of office, 2-story building with lots and lots of glass panels/windows, an empty fish pond (Olip's planning to put goldfishes there later) near the stairs, a photo studio at 2nd floor - near Olip's office, designer's room and marketing's room at 1st floor, a vast living room (with extra big fridge - I'll explain to you later :P), and a garage plus security's room (including bathroom). Sweet, huh? ;)
We tried to arrange things as neat as possible, and follow the fengshui as much as possible. Well, I gotta tell ya it's not an easy thing to deal with. Especially when the building is spaciously modern and not necessarily designed with feng shui calculation compatibly :P As for the result, Mon got a little frustrated when we had to place a big new fridge other than under the stairs (because feng shui-wise, it is not okay to put things under the stairs. But interior arrangement-wise, it is the only space that would be perfect to put that big bus). Hmmm. So temporarily, we finally put the fridge in the living room *__* Olip told us to pretend it's invisible until we could find a perfect place for that big buddy. LOL.
Oh well. Lots of things we have to deal with, and will be alot more to come. But I cross my fingers, that with this new office, VP will be much much better than before :) It's like a rebirth of VP, with new layouts and (will be) new employees (I need new staff heeere!!), and other new stuff. I can't wait to try our new studio :P

Move to another issue : Anita is getting maried this year!
Yeap, the Anita my old housemate in Bandung! Whoohooo congrats, dear..! *huggles* I just knew about this when she sent me message to help her find a wedding organiser. Lalala I'm so excited that she will come to Jakarta this weekend to discuss about the wedding plan and I'd be delighted to help her. I already got some information details, and hopefully it could help ^^
One of the Busas-ers is getting married, isn't that super?! Okay, I got too excited XD I might not be as excited as this for my own wedding later, LOL!

There will be plenty of stories with Nita. As much as with VP. Dum dum dum dum :)

(Almost) Fun

I spent my weekend with my mom. Yeap, she was here in Jakarta last weekend. Came at Friday, when Jakarta's flood striking. Actually I had a plan to attend family gathering (from my Dad's side) in Bogor, but Mom's incognito ruined all my plans. Actually, I hate when someone ruins my plan. But it was Mom, so what can I say :P

Deal lots of things with Mom, from talking about my sister's plan to get married, and (usually) end it with arguments about nonsenses and grumbles in our hearts. I tried to be a nice girl and shut up and listen, but somehow sometimes it just didn't work out between us. It's not that I hate my Mom, it's just we found a lot of differences in our way of thinking and miss-interpretation.
With a help from Wo, I finally managed to deal with this Mom-and-me thingie. I know I should do a lot of things.

Now it's almost Chinese New Year, yay! I hope I could get more happiness and prosperity in this Mouse year, hahaha. I am a cat, anyway :P

Happy sincia, peopleeee.... Gong Xi Fa Cai...!
