8 Pembantu

Ya memang, terdengar manja. Tapi anda berbohong kalo gak kangen keberadaan pembantu. gw kangen Mbak Mar, yang suka curhat sambil mijitin dan suka ngegosipin temen2 gw yang suka main ke rumah, beliin pilus di warung kalo teman yang bernama Damara dateng, heboh sendiri kalo lagi ada yg "iseng" main "ramal2an". Minta diramal ttg masa depan bersama ke 5 pacarnya. kangen si Bibi juga, yang kalo diminta tolong..
"Bi, bikinin mie goreng ya.."
"Mie gorengnya direbus ato goreng, dek?"
"Argghhhhhh.. gorengg!!!"
"oh, goreng?"


8 TRANSPORTATION.
Despite the fact that I don't have any car here, I'm forced to take the bus. The bus has a fucked up schedule, seriously, the schedule is downright inconvenient. And not to mention it has the tendency to be fictitious. 
One time, I was waiting for the 12.22 bus, and they didn't show up. I thought, oh well, I'll just wait for the 12.52 bus. I thought, half an hour, how hard could it be? But yes ladies and gentlemen, I was wrong. It was already 1 PM and the bus hadn't shown up yet. At 1:10 PM I finally saw a glimpse of a bus from the distance. I thought, finally... But it ended being more tragic than how I assume it would go.. THE BUS DIDN'T STOP. BECAUSE THE STUPID DRIVER DIDN'T SEE ME. ARGH! And I threw a pine cone over the bus, which of course, didn't help.
Oh yea, the taxi rates over here is fckin OVERRATED. They are too expensive. I have to pay $15 just to go to De Anza from my house. (hanya seperti jarak PIM - Radio Dalam bagian deket rumah saya.) haha..
walaupun bertarif baru tetap saja lebih murah.

taxi mahal bau kari.

In conclusion, I MISS MY CAR, I MISS "Taxi Murah". I miss not having to take the public transportation.

6 My favorite subject of the week, THE PRESENCE OF ANAK GAUL.

oh my, i've wrote a blog about them before though.. But yes, I'm gonna emphasize more here.. 
Despite the fact that I hate them, so much. I miss the days where I can go to malls/wherever and talk shit about them with my friends.
It's kinda boring here because I rarely found them. Those people who loves hip-hop/r&b today, using du-rags, baggy pants, basketball jerseys, etc. and suddenly morphed into a depressed emo prototype the day after, as if their life had always been miserable, wearing "clana mlorot, boxer kliatan, padahal pake belt super besar". Wait, that's not all. What excites me the most is that.. the very next month they will morphed into an artsy person, listening to only indie rock/ambient/electronica. And of course, they will change their clothing attributes. who knows what they'll become in the coming months? They are infectious. They destroy everything. They ruined the beauty of obscurity.  

Those are only for the guys, don't even get me started on the girls.. vintage, gaul, happening.
kalo gak vintage loe gak keren.
"iya nyieett", "saiiangs temans" oh gosh, what's with the s? plural forms? 
One question : if one day, Dangdut happens to be the hippest thing in town.. would they changed and become dangduters?

queen bees: mo ke mall/ke acara olahraga/atau kemanapun juga gayanya sejuta, apa yg lagi "in" pasti diikutin. trend saat ini : "aku keren karena aku vintage"
wannabees : aQuwH khErEntz baNGgets LoWch.. (these guys needs to go back to elementary school and work on their spelling skills) mungkin mereka-mereka yang ada disini..   maaf kalo menyinggung perasaan atau kebetulan tergabung di komunitas itu.

I don't mind them who really like vintage/emo/hip hop/etc from the start. I only hate those ones who only likes it when it was considered to be cool.

I wanted to put pictures of them here, but I haven't been able to find one that's pretty representational. Well, there are a couple of people I know that would definitely fit into this categories.. But I figured, it would be impolite. They  know who they are, I think they're 'gaul' enough to know that they, in fact, are a part of this community. Don't feel bad, I miss you guys. lol.

Anyways, whether they are the queenbees or the wannabes
They're hilarious.

5 Jakarta Selatan, Kemang in particular..

Yes, Jakarta Selatan. Pretty much because I grew up there. I miss Radio Dalam despite the traffic jam, Pondok Indah, Senayan, Kemang, Pejaten Barat, etc.. Even I miss the malls. 
The malls here suck. 

Why Kemang? You can read it here.

4 The Food! 
Oh man, the food had left me high and dry here. Ketoprak, Soup brenebon, Martabak Manis, Sate Ayam, Soup Macaroni bikinan nyokap, Mie Ayam, Gule Otak, Soto ayam, Spaghetti dan Macaroni Schotel(however you spell it) bikinan Tante Wati,  and many more.
Yes there are a couple of Indonesian Restaurants here, but they don't taste half as good as the ones back home. Yet they are pricey.


And for the top three.. read the next blog.
