My Week

This week is a combination of happy, sad, bitter and full of hard feelings.. I smile, I laugh, I feel good, I feel bad.. Just like what life is. Sometimes we’re up, and sometimes we’re down.

Monday,
I was happily having dinner together with some of my colleague at office, We ate meatballs at a so called “baso bang Imin” at Petamburan, Hm.. it’s quite good but not worthy enough to be hunted :), so I don’t speak a lot about this. 5 of us together laughed and mocked up each other and our bosses too ;))

Tuesday,
I met ci cia, She got a problem on her notebook. So I went to her place after office hour to take a look.. and no sis, I’m no expert cause I failed to fix the problem :(. So.. instead of fixing her laptop we went eating at Warung Steak together with her sister too.. Chat here and there about current life.. hm.. quite a nite :).. hehehe.. How’s it now sis? Sorry can’t accompany you this Saturday.. :(

Wednesday,
I feel unease after being asked by my boss to do something really really not nice. I was confused at first why should it be me to do that a-lil-dirty-and-i-dont-like-it thing. :( In my opinion, she should be the one to do that thing. Why me? Who am I? I’m not in the capacity to do such a thing :(. Ah.. but remember 3 golden rules of boss?

  1. Boss is always right
  2. If boss err, see rule number 1
  3. If boss still do err, it means that you didn’t pay attention on those 2 rules mentioned before :))

With the unease feeling, I accepted her order and thought the best way to do it. Believe me, I did feel guilt haunting me along and along. In fact I had trouble sleeping at that night. *sigh*

I tried to take the positive side of it.. Try to take it professionally.. And yet it helped.. I finally asleep..

P.S: I foolishly public post about this matter at that night instead of making it private. dumb me.. :(

Thursday,
The day I must did that thing, Tried to be calm but failed.. Yes, I was ready at that time but also still I can’t lie that I still felt unease. Talk to the HR dept, She gave me a word or two to assure me that it was nothing personal and it was just a professional matters only.

After the others went home.. I did that thing.. Not easy.. Painful.. I’m sorry, I just had to do it my friend. If you read this. Whattever you thought about me, You are still a friend of mine.

Friday,
Knowing that I would be left to Bandung for a couple days, I go to her house and spent a night with her.. well technically not a night because it will be resulting my head to be cut off by her father :)).

Yah until almost midnight lah. *peace yah om.. hehehe.. * Doing nothing *reallly nothing, and I mean it! [-x* except watching my all time favourite movie  trilogy “The Matrix:Reloaded” together at TV.

Feeling happy to be together for that night and also sad at the same time knowing that we’ll not spend the weekend together..  *the only time I could met her freely is weekend* Anyway.. It’s just a couple days, and we’ll meet again :).

Somehow, When I looked deeply at her eyes for the last time before I said “see you” that night, I knew that God is being really good to me. Yes honey, You’ll always be loved.. :)

Saturday,
Waked up really really late, and got a few message from her informing that she’s already at Bandung having fun there. And realize that I was really late again for an appointment with my friend… hehehe.. sorry patty-bro :D..

So… wrap up, packed up and quickly went to his home to do some thesis work, having a deep headache as the result from doing that thesis-shit, I went back home at 7pm, then hanged out with my friends at Kafe Bintang Digebug *red: Starbucks* :)) then go home.. and… WRITE BLOG!.. hehehe…

–UPDATED—

Sunday,
Err.. thinking of it.. it’s already Sunday when I finished writing this post.. hauahuahua… :))

If It’s Sunday, then It’s 12th of October today, if it’s 12th of October, It means that it’s been 2 months since I run again. Hope we’ll keep on running on track.. hauhaahuahau.. *haiss.. apa seehhh nung.. * =))

and…  errrr..

*reading this post once again *
