Uncle Su’s Got Some.

I have one of those days where everything went so well, you meet so many nice people, everything goes smoothly for you and the wind was breezy and the sun was shining… And all I could think about after I got home is just to lie down on my bed and browse through my feed reader.

I “tried” clearing away my kitchen trash, but a 15min semi-spring cleaning ends up with me idling there on my living room floor (we don’t have a couch or sofa per se) and watching Grey’s Anatomy. That is a hopeful weekend spelt out for me.

I’m back in Seattle for now… I will be spending the next few days overcoming jet-lag, cleaning up my room, settling long-overdued bills and trying to not get myself fired from my new job in the student government.

Meanwhile, I kind of like wordpress.com’s new HTML text editor, but it seems that the advanced editor, which used to be accessible through alt + B, has cease from working. Oh well, at least alt + G still works.

Ms. Gadiza Fauzi, will you marry me?

Unrelated PS: Apparently, there’s a coup going on in Bangkok right this hour. I get my updates on the issue from CCB, who’s trapped in Pattaya and is hiding in his hotel room while a massacre is going on in the lobby. Kidding.

Life is short, what’s your plan?

1.  Reading triller novels, the likes of John Grisham’s “The Firm” and Tom Clancy’s “Sum of All Fears”.

2. Trying to be a good driver on Cirebon’s street.

3. Trying out the gizmos that I’ve purchased from Comex, namely the memory card reader and the USB Bluetooth.

4. Sleeping a helluva lot since life goes much slower down here. (56K to be exact)

5. Being an Editor at Pink.sg.

6. Formulating some dodgy theories of earning my first million before I hit 30.

7. Contemplating contacting my supervisor and colleagues in school regarding my job description. Contemplating…

8. Paying overdued utility bills.

9. Looking up cheap textbooks online.

10. Travelling to Central Java on business, recreation and family visiting all rolled up in one.

Steps:

1. Get out of the driver’s seat of your Dad’s car, taking the key along. Then lock the whole car.
2. Realized that you haven’t closed all four car windows.
3. Bent down into the wheel and plugged the key in, then rolled all four windows up.
4. “Uh Dad, do you have a spare key to your Civic?”

Me: Mom, you know when we (Dad and I) were in Yogjakarta, we met Uncle Pin’s children. Umm… The oldest daughter is not bad looking.

Mum: Ahh, so you like her?

Me: I mean, she looks OKAY.

Dad: You know what, just say the word from you and I can help you 2 hook up. Uncle Pin wouldn’t mind. I’ll tell him for you.

Funny how one year ago I had to pretend to be sleeping to avoid going through hours of lecture about how I should be focussing on my studies, on how to choose a good partner for myself, and about how one can be messed up from choosing the wrong “one”. Now they can’t wait for me to be attached.

Heh heh.

Check out Pink.sg, a new glbt blogging community in Singapore, built by my long-lost friend, Seth.

The site has just been up for less than a week and Seth told me that he’s getting close to 2000+ hits yesterday. Amazing how much of a visionaire he is.

The blog is full of musings, observations and awareness outreach by people from all walks of life. In Seattle, being a homosexual is so casually accepted. I think Singapore has a lot to catch up, it being such a homophobic society. Not that its better in any Asian countries for that matter. Which is why I atrongly support Pink.sg as a media of freedom of speech. Another step for the glbt society. Stop the huss huss people.

Be it you’re gay, lesbian, bi, trans or even straight… Pink.sg wants you! I’m signing myself up. Are you?

Tip of the hat goes to Seth!

ps: sicca, are you reading this?

I will be flying back to Indonesia tomorrow morning. Goodbye, friends! ‘Till next year we meet again. =)
