rehab

dalam rangka menyambut 14 nov 08

Baby, baby
When we first met
I never felt something so strong
You were like my lover
And my best friend
All wrapped into one
With a ribbon on it
And all of a sudden
When you left
I didn't know how to follow
It's like a shot
That spun me around
And now my heart left
I feel so empty and hollow

And I'll never give myself to another
The way I gave it to you
Don't even recognize
The ways you hurt me Do you?
It's gonna take a miracle to bring me back
And you're the one to blame


And now I feel like, oh
You're the reason
Why I'm thinking
I don't wanna smoke on
These cigarettes no more
I guess that's what I get
For wishful thinking
Should've never let you enter my door
Next time you wanna go on and leave
I should just let you go on and do it
Cause now I'm using like I bleed
It's like I checked into rehab
Baby you're my disease
It's like I checked into rehab
Baby you're my disease
I gotta check into rehab
'Cause baby you're my disease
I gotta check into rehab
'Cause baby you're my disease


Damn,
Ain't it crazy
When you're loveswept
You'll do anything
For the one you love
'Cause anytime
That you needed me
I'd be there
It's like
You were my favorite drug
The only problem is
That you was using me
In a different way
Than I was using you
But now that I know
It's not meant to be
You gotta go
I gotta wean myself off of you

english

I'm at my new post currently,
Yess... I know, sort of quick, jumping from one place to another...

In the current post, in a bank, which is a subsidiary of bigger bank in most southern continent
I was posted in a dept which is multicultural, I get to work hand in hand with foreigner as team mate
After days... I found out, that all local staff happened to be mastery overseas graduated,
I'm feeling little...

But then, they all thought I am overseas graduated as well.... assuming from my fluency in English, and my bright brain *huahahahaha show off*

here's the conv.
A : lo dulu kuliah dimana? inggris lo bagus
Me : ha? gwe kuliah di UI kok
A : S1-nya?
Me : ha? ya itu S1, gwe blom S2, makanya aga minder ini sama kalian, barang lokal nih, S1 pulak
A : ooo trus bahasa inggrisnya dapet darimana?
Me : (at first, I really thought of taking all the credits to my self, but I ended up saying)
ohhhh, ya les gitu, gwe masih les kok sekarang ... bla bla cerita tempat les
(yess, I share the credits to wall street)

After she left, I really thought...
Do most people underestimate the english fluency of local graduated??
I do know some friend's english which is really killing without even having to take any advance english course or spending sometime overseas
We do have dvd player, internet access and mp3 player!!!
We don't need to spend a fortune just to make our tongue and ear used to that global language
