The Complete Sherlock Holmes

Alone in my hotel room and I was on the last page of World of Warcraft:Cycle of Hatred. I really need to find a new readings to kill time, and that when I remembered seeing a book nearby, just down the street about ten minutes walk. So there I was, standing in front the book self browsing for anything worthy. I wasnt looking for anything perticular, just something fun to read. Had my eyes for Tom Clancy's Bear ant The Dragon, but the book is 15 cm thick. Then I considered Mario Puzo's Godfather, but I watched the trilogy three times, remember every scenes. Tired and hungry I decided to given up the hunt, but just when I walked pass the last shelf, I saw this book, The Complete Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It has all the fifty-seven stories, hardcover, imported, and cost me only Rp. 75rb. (36rb for the soft cover version). I know it might sounds corny, I mean, who wud want to read Sherlock Holmes these days? That dude was history, dinosours age, he still using that old magnifying glass, no spectro, no DNA matching, just following his huntch and logic. Well, that the beaty of it. I'm a big fan of CSI series, but they solved most cases with mere hitech solution, where's the fun? Besides, I really want to know about this guy. I know him as a detective icon for ages, but never really read the book. So, I hope he's as good as the legend says or else I know why they're selling it this cheap

Naik Kereta Api...dut...dut...dut

Bukannya gw takut naek garuda ke jogja gara2 ada yg kebakar, tp emang dah planning dr mg lalu ke jogja naek kreta. Sayang jg sih gw jd ga dapet milage di freq flyer gw. Its just tat i can rest for a while kalo pake kreta. Ga kek pake pesawat yg smua kesannya in rush. O iya, about the tittle pake dutdutdut bukan tuttuttut krn every now and then pasti kecium bau busuk...bused...smua org pada masuk angin ya?!

Dino crisis

This is how kids play with their dinosours these days...they just get smarter and smarter

Ummm...nyeseel, palagi festival jajanan ini cm bagus iklannya. Uda ngantri nya aja biadab, trus makanan ya itu2 aja, di hari biasapun banyak...well at least i got a story this weekend...bummer

Broken Passion

Driving...has always been my passion since my childhood. Berawal dari kekaguman gw ma kemampuan kakak gw menghapal smua tipe mobil yg ada dijalan waktu gw TK pun belum. Kebiasaan keluarga gw yg tiap weekend pergi liburan keluar kota makin buat gw cinta sama nyetir. Gw baca smua buku tentang mobil, i finished countless driving games with the hardest difficulty, i watched racing movies sampe yg kartun. Waktu ikutan test driving dari asosiasi driving australia indonesia, i'm proud to say gw satu2nya yg pernah dapet perfect score di refleks dan car handling. Gw bener2 suka nyetir, ga pernah bercita cita punya supir. Tapi smua ada limit, sekarang gw bahkan ga bisa turun dari mobil tanpa meringis nahan sakit, duduk di mobil aja uda sakit. Cedera yg gw dapet dari passion gw sendiri. Malem ini gw bersyukur bgt kakak gw ikut, krn gw cm bs bertahan stg perjalanan sblm otot gw keram...gmn dong? Hiks...

Life After The Flood

Keknya basi bgt ya...banjirnya dah sebulan lewat tapi gw baru ribut sekarang, tapi emang gw baru hari ini nengok kamar gw di jakarta. Rumah masi brantakan, barang2 masi ditumpuk diatas takut banjir lagi. Kamar gw dah mirip kamar anak kost, ato parah. Untung AC masih jalan, tapi ga ada air dingin, kulkas rusak. Cat dinding udah cocok buat tempat shooting Jelangkung Begins ato Sundelbolong Returns. Tapi Alhamdulillah msh ada 2 kasur lipet yg bs gw tumpuk jadi tempat tidur yang nyaman...and I hv never felt this comfortable as I'm now in this room

I Hate Monday

Senim pagi di Jakarta? No way, kalo ga kepaksa bgt kek hari ini ga bakal deh. Skrg jam 7.15 dan gw masih merayap di depan pintu tol pondok gede timur. Jam 8 meeting di Slipi. Harusnya gw dah nginep aja dihotel tadi malem...jadi nyesel

Metamorfosis

Salah satu benefit bongkar2 kamar adalah u never noe wat treasure u'll find. For me gw nemu pas foto gw dari berbagai taun, sayang ga ada yg SD ato TK. Selain itu nemuin jg koleksi prangko, uang kuno, foto foto mantan (weksss), sama koleksi duit logam cepek yg tebel satu celengan penuh. Ternyata gw sadar, kamar gw dah seabad ga diberesin...hihi...

Senja di Malioboro

Akhirnya kerjaan gw di jogja kelar. Benarkah? Belum...masih ada tugas laen, beli titipan orang. Pertama nyari kado buat temen gw yg merit, harus yg khas jogja buat newly wed. Sprei batik? Pasti panas...kondom batik? Gw takut kalo nanya diusir ama satpam...sarung bantal kursi batik keknya yg paling pantes, bs kepake lama asal ga kebanjiran. Bis gitu beli kaos yg gambarnya lucu khas jogja buat babeh, buat gantiin kaos oleh2 dari kinabalu, waktu itu gw beli kaos buat babeh asal ambil yg gambarnya keren, ternyata pas dibuka di rumah kaos ce yg mini...hehe. Masih ada titipan lagi...bakpia, tapi bawaan gw dipesawat ntar dah berat, jd gw beli aja pas sesuai titipan (bagi yg ga brasa nitip maap ya...dan jgn ngaku2). Tinggal cari makan malem...pas gi clingak clinguk cari makan nemu tukang kalung jalanan, keinget ma cincin kawin gw yg udah ga muat, jd gw beli kalung baja tentara G.I. buat gantungin cincin, skalian steel plate nya di embos nama gw dan di baliknya nama lilie. Akhirnya gw dah tll capek buat makan, ckp beli dunkin dan bawa ke hotel. Capek...besok pesawa jam 7.40, belom beres2. Besok aja subuh...skrg saatnya tidur...zzz...

Home sick

Here I am again in a place far from home...alone in a comfort hotel's room in Jogja...yet...am not enjoying it. It's only a week since I got off the plane from KL, i miss my 3x3 room, non AC just a squeeky fan, with my cheap bed and furniture, cables running havoc arround my PC, and mostly, I miss my lovely wife. Just when i was onboard the plane this day, I listened to michael buble's songs which goes something like this : 'another aeroplane, another sunny place I'm lucky I know but I wanna go home, I miss you, you know'

Sambel Kulit Jeruk

"mo makan dimana li?"
"dimana aja terserah kamu deh", jawab lili sambil memasang sabuk pengaman
"dimana ya??? aku dah makan sih barusan, bis nungguin kamu lama, dah kelaperan"
"hihi...ya udah, eh, di rumah si mamah bikin sambel ga?"
"ga tau tu, kalo ga salah bikin sambel kulit jeruk" , bales gw sambil ngarahin mobil masuk jalan riau yang sudah mulai sesak dengan orang2 yg bergegas dari kantor pulang ke rumah.
"telp mamah dulu gih, kalo iya kita kesana aja...hehe...numpang makan di mertua".
So I called my mom, and she said she'd love to make sambal kulit jeruk but ran out of cabe merah and cengek. I made a quick stop at Jogja Antapani and grabbed some cabe merah, cengek and a cut of Jambal Roti Special.
Sampe di rumah mamah langsung kerja nyiapin menu spesial, sambal kulit jeruk (kulit jeruk dah ada di rumah sisa jeruk kemaren), jambal roti goreng, sama ayam bakar. Dad went outside and pick up some "watever the name is" leafes for "lalab" or "lalap" (someone pls tell me which is the right word), mom always keep edible plants in the yard...hihihi...good for us.
Sambil nunggu gw maen Figt Night Round 3, nerusin career mode...mayan...dapet KO 2 contender.
"Ayo tuh kalian pada makan, dah siap mumpung panas", teriak mama dari dapur
"iya mah...asik asik asik", sambil agak linglung tapi bersemangat lili bangun dari tempat tidur.
tau kan rasanya nyium aroma sambel sama ikan asin, terus ngebayangin pedesnya sambel yang lumer di mulut dengan jambal roti yang wuuueeenakk?!?!? trus pasti udah nelen lidah duluan....?!?!? tats exactly the feeling i got...hihihi...We had a "Sweaty" two rounds by the way...enuf to sent us crushing on the bed....sampe males pulang...tapi akhirnya kita pulang juga, dengan ngebekel sambel, ikan asin ama lalabnya...huehehehe...Mom...ur the best cook hihihi
