Di suatu malam sunyi senyap…
Diiringi bunyi ketak-ketik ketak-ketik dari seorang yang masih memiliki sisa semangat koding ria…
Dan bunyi derum lemah AC dan PC yang masih menyala…
Tampak sesosok perempuan, terdiam terpaku.
Wajahnya dingin, kaku, tanpa ekspresi.
Tiba-tiba dari arahnya terdengar suara…
“Wuoooooohhh, keren!!”
Ahahahahah, iya, itu gw, kemarin malam. Di satu ruangan besar ini, jam 10 sampai 11 malam, cuma tinggal berdua. Sang Gondo masih asik dengan baris-baris code warna-warni itu, sedangkan gw lebih memilih untuk memanfaatkan moment sepi tersebut untuk… streaming! ^^v American Idol Top 8 Female performance, yang tayang di hari sebelumnya. Penasaran sama penampilan Siobhan Magnus yang lucu itu. Tapi ternyata, untuk female semifinalists minggu ini, pilihan gw jatuh kepada… Lacey Brown with The Story.

Entahlah, mungkin lebih karena gw suka lagunya ;) Lagu aslinya dibawakan oleh Brandi Carlile. Sumpah gw baru denger namanya sekarang, padahal itu lagu tahun 2007. Genre-nya agak-agak unik. Gw sih mendengarnya ada pengaruh country, tapi kok ya dicampur pop dan rock dikit. Kalau kata om wiki sih disebut alternative country, hummmh… I don’t really like country music, but I do like this one :) Dari albumnya yang baru-baru aja, Give Up the Ghost (2009), gw suka Dreams, yang ini lebih kerasa deh country-nya.
Here you go, Brandi Carlile with The Story. *yaaah, disabled, padahal video yang paling bagus. Nonton di empunya aja deh ;p*

Lyric?? show
All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I’ve been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don’t mean anything
When you’ve got no one to tell them to
It’s true… I was made for you
I climbed across the mountain tops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
But baby I broke them all for you
Because even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks
You do
I was made for you
You see the smile that’s on my mouth
It’s hiding the words that don’t come out
And all of my friends who think that I’m blessed
They don’t know my head is a mess
No, they don’t know who I really am
And they don’t know what
I’ve been through like you do
And I was made for you…
All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I’ve been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don’t mean anything
When you’ve got no one to tell them to
It’s true… I was made for you
Ngomong-ngomong ‘the story‘, baru-baru ini ada cerita yang benar-benar menjadi hot thread di R&D Software. Ceritanya, waktu ada seorang yang dengan niatnya OT di hari Minggu, sendirian, tiba-tiba dia melihat sesosok perempuan mondar-mandir. Berbaju, atau berjubah putih panjang, dan berambut panjang. Opacity 30% =)). Kejadiannya di waktu menjelang Maghrib katanya, dan dia waktu itu memang sudah mau pulang. Akhirnya dia cuma bisa teriak “Permisi ya mbak, mau kirim report dulu, bentar lagi pulang kok” ^^;
Iya sih, dari dulu waktu ruangan ini masih ditempatin sama Purchasing dept., katanya memang ada cerita-cerita. Waktu kita pindah ke sini pun sempat jadi perbincangan hot. Waktu itu, sang Bossbess dengan songongnya berkata “Aaah, ga ada itu gitu-gituan”. Eh, ternyata, kemarin dia baru cerita bahwa malam itu juga dia diikutin sampe ke kosan. Hiiiihh… Berkat itu dia libur OT selama seminggu, wahahahah…
Tapi, gara-gara hot news itu, semangat OT gw jadi agak terganggu >.< Padahal tadinya kegiatan ‘tutup toko’ a.k.a matiin lampu karena jadi orang terakhir yang pulang, terasa biasa saja, tapi kemarin, pikirannya jadi aneh-aneh deh. Padahal biasanya, kalau ada suara-suara lagu atau film atau apapun dari set yang menyala, pasti gw langsung beranggapan “Aaah, lagi long play itu”. Tapi kemarin, jadi bertanya-tanya, “Hummmh, tadinya nyala ga sih? Kapan nyalanya?”. Gawaaaat… semoga keparnoan ini tak berlangsung selamanya >.<
Dan tadi malam pun, akhirnya gw tidur dengan lampu menyala, aaargh… Berasa kurang nyenyak.
Permisi ya mbak, saya mau posting blog dulu, bentar lagi pulang kok.. ^^

I’ve lost my mood. I’ve lost myself.
Now I’m just seeing around, waiting for a rabbit in suit, with his ticking clock.
Wish I can just throw myself into a rabbit hole, to the Wonderland.
Maybe I can find it there, my mood , or even my old me…

Yep, I’ve just watched the movie last weekend, with my lil sista and mom. We really have to relieve ourself from this stressful mind, didn’t we? ;) And watching a good movie, with perfect, beautiful, enchanting details, in 3D graphics, surely is at the top of the list.
Great movie!! Well, as expected from Tim Burton. Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter, who was played as Bellatrix Lestrange, they really are mad actors ^^, four thumbs up. And I’m kinda surprised that Anne Hathaway is in it too. Ah, don’t forget the Alice, Mia Wasikowska, and the young Alice is cute too.
The only thing that made it imperfect is,
when we heard their first dialogue, me and my sister realized that…
“Darn, we forgot that they’re gonna use British accent” -_- And watching it in 3D means no subtitle.
So, there are times when we’re gone ‘lost in translation’. I’ve planned to search for the .srt so that I can read it again, reaaaally curious about what did Mad Hatter say to Alice at (almost) the end of the movie.
I really envy how Alice always get dressed beautifully whenever her body size is changed. Not always actually, but most of the time. And when the white queen wanted to ride her horse, there’s a staircase, but the next second it disappears ^^; Well, it’s Wonderland afterall. Everything there is magical, nothing is imposibble.
Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.
Un.. there’s a potion that can make you small.
Deux.. there’s a cake that can make you grow.
Trois.. Animals can talk.
Quatre.. Cats can disappear.
Cinq.. There’s a place called Wonderland.
And six.. I can slay the Jabberwocky!
Ups, sorry, it’s originally in English. I just wanna practice some French I’ve learned ;p
Yeah, She can slay the Jabberwocky!! And I can slay my enemy too… Hiyyaaaaaaaaahh!! Die, die you jerky jackass! Go to hell!! Aw, crap, I’m gone mad. Sorry, I didn’t mean it, just need to get it out from my chest. Hufffht, maybe I should try to remember my 6 imposibble things before going to work -_-.
Btw, I love the way red queen say ‘Jabberwocky’. Cute ^^
Oh, and also love the soundtrack… Alice by Avril Lavigne

Beberapa hari ini dibuat bingung, karena gatau mau ngasih apa sebagai kado ulang tahun seseorang :”>. Beneran deh, pilihan kado untuk cowok tuh kok kayaknya terbatas ya. Apalagi kalau dia tipe yang “kalau ga butuh, ya ga pengen dan ga usah beli” -_-. Jadi bingung deh… Lagipula, mau beli sesuatu kok gw takut seleranya ga cocok ya, hahah, susaaah.
So, setelah merenung dan mandi kembang 7 hari 7 malem *lebaay*, akhirnya gw mendapat wangsit. I’ll give him, ‘my cooking’ coupon!! :)
Ada dua tipe, regular dan special. Bedanya? Yang jelas bukan soal rasa. Misalnya, yang regular rasanya biasa aja, yang special rasanya maknyuuus. Karena rasanya dijamin bakal sama aja, maklum, amatir ;p. Bukan juga soal porsi, yang special porsi jumbo misalnya ^^;
Bedanya adalah, yang regular menunya sudah ditetapkan. Tentunya menu-menu andalan, a.k.a yang gw pede bisa dan rasanya oke *menurut gw*, hohoho. Sedangkan yang special, menunya masih kosong, blank, bisa diisi sesuka hati. Di sini nih tantangannya, karena gw ga boleh nolak memasakkan apapun yang ditulis di situ >.<. Tapi gapapa, sekalian belajar, hehe…

*Terms & Condition:
- Valid only from March 2010 to February 2011, and can’t be used on December 25 *coz that’s my birthday :”>*.
- Can’t be used hastily. If you want to use it, for regular coupon please tell at least 1-2 days before, and for special coupon please tell a week before *I have to browse for the recipe and practice it first ;p*.
- Whatever the flavor of the outcome is, please tell me the truth so that I can be a better cook *but without hurting my feelings, if you can*.
- Lastly… Mood is such an essential factor in cooking, bad mood can result in terrible food. So, use it wisely ^^
Call +62 812 8130xxx or +62 251 9372xxx for more information.
Berdasarkan pengamatan gw dan diperkuat oleh tulisan ini, entah kenapa cowok itu kok kayaknya pengen dan seneng banget ya kalau dimasakin ^^; Atau setidaknya kalau kita ‘berusaha memasak’ untuk dia, masalah rasa urusan belakangan. Well, sepertinya untuk para pria istilah “dari perut naik ke hati” benar adanya ;p
Semoga kado ini menjadi kado yang spesial ^^ Walaupun modalnya ga nyampe sepuluh ribu perak, hihi.. Apalagi dengan mempertimbangkan bahwa gw ga terlalu doyan masak -_- doyan makan iya…
Last but not least, happy birthday to you!!! Hope that everything you wish for will be come true.
Hugs and kisses :”>
