fighting for a cab

situation:
me (not fasting), a girl friend (not fasting), a girl friend (fasting).
we're at junction right before menara karya
it was about 15 minutes past 5, and we're headed to BNI bld @ Sudirman
most taxi are occupied, and people fight for the empty one

strategy:
me wait for taxi from kuningan, my other not-fasting-friend wait for taxy from mega kuningan, and the fasting one, rest...
we manage the distance so we can always see and hear the other shouting

result:
I saw an-on-empty-lamp bluebird coming to my way
not far from me, there's this asia guy
he waved to the cab which I saw first (but he did waved first)
then I waved after him *pura" gak liat dia udah stopin duluan*
he stood nearer to the cab, he walked to the cab
my competitive spirit is awaken...
I walked faster diagonally to the cab...
I reached the door first *YES!!*
the asia guy said : "can I go first?"
me (dalem ati) : "gigi lo!! enak ajah"
me (from my mouth) : *give him begging look* "but I want to break my fasting"
the asia guy : "so, can I join you?"
me : *hah* "but I am three" *well, actually I'm a matrix and xplore subscriber*
the asia guy : "It's okay"

so I yelled and waved to my friend to come to the cab
I jump in to the back seat of the cab
my assumption is the asia guy would take the front seat
but then, he got to the back seat right after me
I give him confusion look, but he smiled
crazyyy asian!!!!!
the seating in the back seat : my fasting friend,asia guy, me
while my other-not-fasting friend took the front seat
since, he's very tall, he seat in a funny way, with his back pack laptop bag on his leap

me and my friends really struglle to hold our laugh, since it will be impolite for him
I start a conv with him
me : where are you going?
asia guy : ohhh over there...
me : ohhh *and lazy to continue the conv*

after a while....
me : where are you going actually, we're headed to Sudirman here
asia guy : hmmm menara imperium
me : you want us to turn over?
asia guy : no, I will cross the road
me : oh... okay...

at wisma kodel...
gwe : pak, kiri satu pak, di sebrangan situ
asia guy : yes, in here
asia guy : thank you...
and he get off from the cab

I laughed with my friends...
but then we realise...
how come he didn't even pay for the taxi????
he didn't even offer to pay
crazy asian!!!!

buka bersama

masih tentang puasa
week day ini menjadi minggu buka bersama gwe...
senen, selasa, kamis dan juma'at penuh ...
with different crowd *gila sok gaul ginih*

menurut gwe ada 4 tipe buka puasa
1. buka bersama keluarga
ngumpul bareng keluarga, menyamakan jam makan yang biasanya beda dan makan masing",
ato gak bareng sama keluarga yang lebih besar, terkaget" liat perkembangan keponakan" gwe yang semakin hari semakin ngebalap tinggi gwe, biarpun baru kelas 6 sd

2. buka bersama with people who you can laugh out loud with
I love this type of buka bersama
setalah makan kekenyangan, we can always tell a funny story or mocking each other
same level of humor and craziness
hoo I really love this type,
used to end late, at 8 or 9 if one of the people pregnant
can be end at 10 if all unmarried people

3. buka bersama with people who you can NOT laugh out with
I'd prefer buka dirumah than this one,
tapii kadang penting juga sih, menjalin silaturahmi,
like... buka bareng friends whose taste of humor located in different quadrant as yours, like they get your joke, but you don't get them
only them having fun, and you only like having... fake laugh
It's tiring really *for me*
this type of buka bersama used to end fast to me, usually at 7 or less, dengan alasan mo tarawih or else. as soon as I get out quick

4. buka bersama client
I like this type if in a big group, like all people in my company and all people in the client company
I still can laugh out loud with nice and tasty hotel food
but when it comes to only on entertainment few people, me and boss, the situation back to number 3

puasa bulan ini, buka bersama keluarga most often, karena jam kantor sampe setengah lima, teng and go! sampe rumah setengah enem... hemat euy
puasa tahun kemarin... selalu buka bareng di kantor berasama anak" gillaaa merdeka,tertawa-tawa, bahagia

this explains why I don't loose weight as much as last year...

finally....

I'm connected to my blog...
after few attempts in the couple weeks..

ok! here's the story begin..
fasting story...

what kind of sickness is the most annoying while fasting?
to me : it's the essence of clouds a.k.a sariawan *omigot gak lucu*
the reason : it's only making your bad smell fasting breath worse, and my main duties is communicating!

fasting day 1 : I can feel there's sariawan wanna-be in my mouth
fasting day 2 : pop up two little white hole in my lower lips
fasting day 3 *saturday* : hmmm while weekend, I have to heal it ASAP
so I bought this albotyl (I believe when put it in night, then at day your sariawan go away)
I put it in my lower lips
my mom suggested to use cotton bud (to only apply at sariawan part)
but I brutally put like few drops (hoping it will heal sooner)

Result : aside than my lips cuticle shearing,the two little white hole united into one big hole as chicken pock
after three days using albotyl day and nite : the big hole still there
then I only get the irritate feeling when the wound meet the drops of albotyl
in addition I also consume adem sari and CDR regularly

I assume, the hole just get used to with the lips and won't go away
right now, I already get used to it (yes, it's still there)
so I decided to make a good friend with the pain caused by spicy food meet my 'sariawan'
and I forget albotyl usage
