Ima Robot – Greenback Boogie

Yup, this is the opening theme from Suits. I can’t get it out of my head. Super cool!

Suits

I am currently in love with Suits, a TV show from USA Network. It’s fun and funny and sexy and full of witty comments and banters. Totally love it!

Affairs

Affairs seems to be my mind’s major theme today. Probably because I spent the whole weekend watching Scandal, a new TV series by Shonda Rhimes, which is brilliant by the way. Probably also because today I got reconnected with a friend who I know for a fact is definitely not being a loyal husband to his wife as he is supposed to be.

No matter if it’s because you cannot leave your wife because you’re the President of the free world or you’re on a business trip and you need someone to warm your bed, cheating is cheating, right? I’m not being naive here, nor I think of myself as a saint, but I know that infidelity is wrong. Nothing good ever comes out from cheating, and it also happens to be very hurtful for the spouses. God’s wrath also awaits. Please forgive me God. Please give me strength to stay in righteous path despite my weakness and all the temptations.

When you know that someone has the tendency to being unfaithful, why bother to hope for a long lasting relationship, if not a relationship at all, with him/her? Don’t think that you can change them. You cannot teach pigs how to sing. What I’m saying is, be sure that you are marrying someone who share the same view with you regarding fidelity. Draw a prenuptial agreement with a specific clause about it. If you are already in a doomed relationship with a guy who cheats on you, married or not, leave him now.

Long Weekend

I don’t know what to say. I was going to condemn my dayjob as an employee that made me really long for long weekends. But I am not really in the mood of condemning anything right now. I guess that self control technique does work after all.

For everyone in Jakarta, in the next 10 minutes we are entering the last day of long weekend. This probably means that there are only 24 hours left before everything’s back to normal again. Getting up early for going to work, spending 2 hours getting to the office, working 12 hours or more, spending 2 hours going back from the office and finally wasting 2 hours trying to sleep (OK, maybe the last one’s just me).

Knowing this, dare I not wish for another long weekend. I disagree with setting long weekends in advance that apply to everyone. I refuse to believe that everyone’s happy to be forced to stop doing what they normally do everyday and just take holiday at the same time as everybody else. I dream of the days where everyone can choose to do their holiday whenever they feel like it. That way, there will be no feeling sorry that the last four days have ended because those days have been spent in a way that and BECAUSE we want them to be spent.

But then again, I don’t speak for anybody else. That’s just me.

Cheapskate!

Do you actually get richer by cutting down some particular expenses for some particular people when at the same time you’re still spending lavishly on some other particular expenses for some other particular people? I guess double standards really do apply.

Seriously, nobody likes a cheapskate! Make sure you are not one.

Resurrection

Inspired by a dear friend of mine who recently started her blog, I decide to resurrect this blog again. Stay tune for more posts here! 🙂

Holy cow!

Oh my dearest God wherever you are. My last post was over a year ago?! what the heck? I feel so bad.. Well not really. Besides, who actually reads my blog except some stalkers and people who happen to stumble onto my blog. Pfft. To sum up what have been going on since august til this day, there’s only one word, DRAMA! Maybe I will share some of them when I feel like it. Not today for sure.

What (really) sucks about being an employee..

…is the annual leave. Limited to only 12 days a year.  Minus ridiculous “cuti bersama” policy in my country (this is basically government’s regulations that makes several extra holidays in a year but unfairly reduced employees annual leave). Plus, my company doesn’t allow extension of remaining leaves from previous year.

These are the times when I really wish I was an entrepreneur or a farmer for that matter so I can be able to have my time freedom.

Wanted: Partner in Crime!

Fine, not a real crime. Just someone to travel with me next year to following destinations: Macau, Hong Kong, Shenzen. I don’t mind travel alone really. I did that early this year in Bali. However, I have to admit that things are more enjoyable when there’s someone else to share the experience.

So, anyone wants to go with me?

Re-denomination of Rupiah

This week, the news about Bank Indonesia’s plan to carry out a re-denomination of Indonesian Rupiah is all over the media. Some have shown reluctance, in fear of losing value of their money. This is going to be hard work for Bank Indonesia to educate people about this issue and to actually decide on really doing re-denomination of our currency itself. Many politicians will (or already have) try to interfere to make the current government look bad if re-denomination really takes place. Bank Indonesia should stand up for this and stick to their plan because we really need to re-denominate Rupiah right now. With current exchange rate of 1 USD = 9000 IDR, if re-denomination takes place, it will be 1 USD = 9 IDR. I’m no expert, but it sounds pretty ideal to me.
