My First Happy Trip
The last time I felt so happy was when me, Ame and Mon went to Bandung for having fun. It was like, the last time I felt happy XD
Well, at least today I felt happy again, although slightly different kind of happiness.
I went to Bandung today - yes, again - but on a business case, and with my dear boss. We were checking the site of the newly built (and still under construction) Novotel Bandung, the soon-to-be our new office.
It was a good place, I think, although today when we checked the palce was still..., well, under construction XD Sands and bricks everywhere, from the 1st floor to the 11th XDD
And then we were looking for some apartments - place for Mr. Ale to stay. But so far he dislike any of those places :P I think we still have to search for another option.
What made me happier was I got a chance to meet Wowo there :D
God knows how much I miss him. And also, I really craved for his new MV & MP3 collection XD Too bad we didn't have much time, only blew some kisses and take-and-go. Hmmph. It makes me want him around more just like he wanted to. Oh well, be patient for the next two weeks, babe ;D
Anyway, I felt happy because my boos is real nice to me :D Remembering there was only few people in my office that truly nice, he's one of the angels. And at least this trip made me useful, and I could get away for a day from that bloddy office :P
I wish I could go to Bandung again, soon. Very, very soon ^^
Ah well.
This weekend : Jakarta, baby!

Getting Better...
Well.., now that my boss is back to the office, my working condition is getting much much better. I'm glad that he understands my difficult position at the moment, so he tried to keep me around him to help him do some chores.
And the good thing is, I'm going to Bandung with him tomorrow, for the hotel inspection!
Yeay!
Hello, Bandung ^^

MALING... MALING..!!
Setelah mengalami hari-hari yang menyebalkan dan penuh derita di kantor (read my previous entry), minggu lalu ternyata ada lagi kejadian yang mengejutkan - bukan cuma buat gue, tapi sekeluarga.
Rumah gue kemasukan maling hari Jumat subuh yang lalu.
Yeah, that bloody thief yang kalo di komik-komik pake kain penutup kepala yang diiket di hidung (oh, itu maling Jepang ya XD)
Aaanyway.
Kronologisnya kira-kira gini. Kamis malem abis Wowo nelpon - sekitar jam 12 malem, gue bobo di depan kompi (as usual). Nyokap gue yang udah bobo, tiba-tiba bangun dan malah nonton tipi di deket gue, di ruang tengah. Akhirnya dia juga ikutan bobo depan tipi bareng gue dan adek gue, sementara adek gue yang satu lagi (dia lagi sakit) tetep bobo di kamar.
Pagi-pagi, adek gue bangun telat (padahal dia kan anak SMA, ga pernah bangun kesiangan). Dia kaget liat jendela dapur belakang kebuka, dan langsung nuduh nyokap gue lupa nutup. Nyokap gue ngebantah donk, lha dia ngerasa udah nutup dan ngunci semua akses masuk rumah semalem.
Adek gue langsung ribut kehilangan handphone. Berhubung lumayan ribut, gue kebangun, dan langsung ditodong pertanyaan, "HP lu mana?"
Biasanya gue selalu naro HP di bawah bantal, apalagi semalam abis telpon & SMSan, tu HP pasti ga jauh-jauh dah. Tapi setelah gue cari-cari, bongkar-bongkar, ternyata emang HP gue juga amblas...
Serumah langsung ribut menyadari ada seseorang yang memasuki rumah malam itu. Ada jejak-jejak kaki bertanah di lantai, di pagar, di jendela (yang ternyata dicongkel untuk masuk maling itu), kompor yang tiba-tiba pindah ke halaman - soalnya tu maling butuh pijakan buat ngelompat masuk, lha di bawah jendela gue kan kompor XD). Untungnya barang-barang elektronik ga ada yang ilang - mungkin dia males ribet bawanya, dan kepepet waktu juga, soalnya tiap jam kan ada satpam dan orang ronda di sekitar rumah gue. Kan lucu kalo ketauan jalan-jalan sambil bawa tipi :P
Tapi tetep aja, selain HP-HP yang ilang, dompet mama dan adek gue juga dijarah, kotak-kotak perhiasan, jam tangan, bahkan lemari-lemari baju semua diacak adul, semua tas dibongkar.
Tapi herannya tas kerja gue - yang gue taruh di sebelah sofa, berisi dompet, organizer dan semua harta gue - nggak ikut kebongkar. Dia nggak ngeliat kali yah, karena kan gelap. Padahal sumber harta tuh XDD Gue langsung lega pas ngecek dan ngeliat semua masih utuh, termasuk kartu ATM, kartu kredit, dan duit 2 ribu perak yang tersisa dalam dompet :P (Ato... emang tu maling ga napsu liat duit cuma 2 rebu? XD Mungkin dia pikir 'Cih, miskin banget ni cewek, dompet aja keliatan keren, isinya cuma 2 rebu!' Huahahaha)
Jadilah hari Jumatnya (tgl. 21 April) gue ijin ga masuk kerja (hmm... another excuses, Chib? XD Yeah). Gue nemenin nyokap gue - yang masih lemes dan agak2 syok - ngecek ulang sekeliling rumah bareng Pak RT, Pak RW dan Pak Sekuriti dan para ibu-ibu tetangga yang langsung heboh. Rumah gue tadi pagi serasa rumah artis dirubung wartawan XD
Menurut analisa (yang tentunya nggak secanggih CSI team :P) ada dua orang maling yang masuk rumah gue waktu itu, sekitar jam 3 - 4.30 subuh. Dilihat dari jejak kaki di pagar - dia ngelompat pagar samping (bego banget, padahal pagar depan rumah gue kebuka! XD Tapi emang depan rumah gue deket pos ronda sih), dari arah persawahan di belakang kompleks. Dan hebatnya lagi, itu maling punya ilmu sirep - yang ngebikin semua penghuni rumah gue tidur mampus tanpa kebangun pas mereka beroperasi. Padahal gue termasuk orang yang paling peka kalau ada gerakan maupun suara deket gue - apalagi sampe ngerogoh HP gue di bawah bantal!! - dan nyokap gue biasanya bangun subuh untuk solat. Tapi waktu itu semua nyenyak sampe pagi.
Yang bikin merinding sih ngebayangin itu maling gerayang-gerayang di sekitar gue dan keluarga gue tidur. Masih untung badan kita nggak diapa-apain O_o;; Hiiy.
Yeah, walaupun gue masih amat sangat nggak rela kehilangan HP gue - bukan karena mahal ato apa, wong udah buluk kok - tapi karena banyak kenangan, SMS, dan nomor2 penting di dalamnya. Gue masih bersyukur nggak kehilangan banyak - cuma benda-benda kecil yang cepat dijual dan uang. Harta sih bisa dicari, ya. Lha kalo sampe diperkosa, ato dibunuh? Huaa, kan lebih ngeri lagi tuh!
Mungkin gue dan keluarga gue kurang beramal. Mungkin harta itu emang bukan hak kita. Ato emang lagi apes aja.
Biar ini jadi pelajaran buat kita, kalo sehati-hati apapun, tetep aja maling itu lebih pinter, hehehe... Mungkin gue perlu piara anjing herder (ato... nyewa Ebiet aja kali, Mon? XD)
Mereka sekarang punya ilmu macem-macem buat melancarkan aksinya, ditambah juga kelihaian membaca situasi ronda pada jam-jam tertentu. Gue jadi tau, ooh.. gini toh rasanya kemalingan :P Lemes, sedih, marah, tapi juga pengen ngebunuh orang yah rasanya^^ *gigitmaling*
Seperti pesan Bang Napi : Kejahatan semakin merajalela. Waspadalah, waspadalah!
[... But still, semoga para maling itu pantat dan matanya nya bisulan seumur hidup - dan seperti yang banyak divisualisasikan di sinetron-sinetron religius di tipi, mendapat ganjaran dari Tuhan akan perbuatannya. Amin.]

Unhappy.
Well, I still hate this job. And I still hate this place. I really can't wait to move outta here... Because it's hard to face the day when you realize that you will spend the day with people that don't really like you,and with the fact that there is nothing you can do or any specific job desk.
And that is my situation right now.
I really, really want to cry now.
