Yellow Tea Cup :: B4nch4’s Daily Stuff

If it is possible for people to feel like a color, I must be feeling very purple right now.

No, I’m not blue and definitely not red.

No i’m not sad, not yet content.

Melancholy…yes, that must be it!

What I can tell you about feeling purple is that it makes me feel like I can think a little deeper, rather than just floating on the surface like i always did

There is something sad, yet warm. It is lonely, yet peaceful

Perhaps, it’s the color of life?

I wonder what my color will be, tomorrow…

Is new goose down pillow suppose to smell like…ehm… animal? because it is still new perhaps? Anyway the smell kinda reminds me of the poor goose whose feathers being plucked to be my pillow stuffing. It must be the most comfy pillow i ever use, but i lay there wondering if the goose suffered when they plucked its feathers? or worse, were they being killed just for the feathers??? I honestly did not think about that when i bought it.

So for my peace of mind, i decided to google it, trying to find some justification of using feather product, and this is what i found:

“Goose will not be slaughtered just for their down, as the meat and other products would never be wasted in this manner. However, some geese suffer live-plucking several times a year. Animal welfare groups consider the collection of down to be a painful procedure and cruel, particularly since birds must undergo down collection repeatedly.”

*Horror*

I hope the goose that contribute its feathers to be the stuffing of my pillow is already dead before they plucked it’s feathers. Jesus, I’ll stick with synthetic next time.

Bulan lalu sempat ikutan propertykita.com blogging competition dengan tema yang cukup relevan dengan hidupku saat ini, yaitu rumahku, impianku. Ternyata postinganku yang berjudul my perfect green house itu menang sebagai juara pendukung, which amazed me, because i always consider myself unlucky in any kind of competition.

But i did win, jadi moga-moga my perfect green house kesambet good karma dan akhirnya bisa kesampaian one day =)

Anyway, mba yang menang juara pertama dengan postingan yang berjudul Rumah Tetirah. Slamat ya mba =)

Talk about luck, mungkin dulu gw ga beruntung karena enga pernah ikutan kompetisi? ya iyalah =) Jadi inget ama humor pendek di bawah ini

Men: God please let me win the lottery, please please please please…
Men: Please, please please please please… the lottery?
Men: Just once please?? i could really use the money
Men: Please, please please please please…
God: Do youself a favor and go buy a lottery

Anyway, i found couple of interesting website:

Comic strip blogging - meettheintroverts.com
Makin banyak blogger yang mengadopsi gaya blogging yang pake comic strip kayak gini yang basically menceritakan berbagai potongan cerita pendek lewat comic strip. I simply love it! it’s so original, fresh and funny! not to mention creative too!

How often do you go into ladies toilet (in Indonesia) and found one of this “Do Not Squat on Toilet Seat” sign? Very often right? almost all public toilet has similar sign. Well this sign must have been one the most ignored sign ever.

Every now and then i still run into dirty footprint all over the toilet seat! And i’m not talking about public toilet in some warung or small restaurant, even toilet in the big shopping center, and the public toilet in my office building has the same problem.

It really annoys the heck out of me, i mean does these people do not have any tolerance whatsoever to the fellow public-toilet user? it is disgusting!

Sometimes i kinda wish i can pee standing. That is certainly more convenient.

Traveling with car in Jakarta usually only mean 1 thing: traffic jam. Good thing we are already so used to it that it didn’t bother us as much. We usually spend traffic jam time chatting about anything and nothing too important.

So there we were, talking about future, our future, from one thing jumps quickly to another, nothing in specific really. We were discussing about future home and how come we haven’t found a house yet? *a little frustated*. J expressed how he wants to have a secret sanctum basement, yeah-like-superhero-secret-type-of-room where he can watch movie or play his playstation with killer sound system and LCD. Basically a room for doing all kind of male stuff, whatever that means.

I did not point out that he spends too much time with his playstation because he already know it. So i just nod in-whatever-makes-you-happy-baby agreement. He is a lot like me in that way, the more people told him not to, the more he want to. hah! talk about karma. hehehhe

While he talks about this big home he would love us to have, I’m more focused on the kitchen set, how the decoration would be, the garden, etc. And ooohhh i’m in searching for that perfect black bag, something more visible in near future.

We talked about wedding plan. Do we want a party? Not really, we both hate parties. Do we have a non-party option? Not really, parents will not be happy. Grandmas will be furious. Do we have enough budget for party? where? when? who should we invited? really close family & friend only? 200 pax? Can we size down to 100pax? Not possible, big family. Will people get offended if they don’t get invited? Will the priest marry us if we never show up at the church? What church? Papers? Souvenirs? argh! that’s too much for my brain! Note: consider eloping without telling anyone. Thank God i got our honeymoon plan sort out already *evil grin*

The conversation shift over to cars and we let our imagination run wild with the most amazing car we would buy if we can ever afford it, and then as quickly jump to other topic etc, etc you got the point.

Just when we paused for a while, this is what we see in front of us that makes both of us cracked up together.

SABAR.

Sabar donk kalo blum punya rumah - ntar juga punya (amin)

Sabar donk kalo blum merit - ntar juga merit (point yg lebih cocok dibilangin ke orang-orang jahil yg-suka-nanya2-kapan-loe-merit-terus2an).

Mobil baru apaan? kan udah punya atuh, don’t be greedy.

Sabar donk kalau blum bisa beli inih-ituh, travelling ke sanah-sinih - ntar juga kesampean sedikit demi sedikit walau ga semua.

One by one okehh?

I just hope i wont be carried away wanting all the things that’s not necessarily needed and forget what is truly important in life. Because that would be sucks.

Jadi inget lagunya Madonna coz i’m a material girl living in a material world. *joget-joget*
