Feel the warmth of this living fluid
The sweet smell, sickening
The taste, salty
Red, dark, sticky
What's there in blood?
It's your life, running through your vein
It's your ancestor, carried inside your being
It's your soul, gushing within your consiousness
Drink my blood, oh lord
to you, my life
and me, my death

Mangkok Putih - review
Been a while since the last time I sat together with my hubby and have a date. Around a week or two ago, found the time to sneak out at lunch and dated. We went to Mangkok Putih in Setiabudi One. For those who are as 'underdeveloped' as I am in the field of hanging out in Jakarta, Setiabudi One is an office complex turned into entertainment center: lots of resto, cafes, a 21 Cinema. Nice place.
At the resto my hubby had Mango salad, Duck noodle and Vietnam coffee while I had Penang kwetiaw and Thai tea. They live up to the price. The Mango salad was quite a surpise, in term of size, presentation and taste. Mango, shrimp, doused in Bangkok sambal. Yummy... The duck noodle was really good for relief from blocked nasal, trully. Hot, fragrant, steaming... and tasted nice. Penang kwetiaw was nice, too. A bit of crushed peanuts, dried chilly, and shrimps.
All in all, nice. Pretty crowded place at lunch time, with people even standing, waiting for vacant tables.
At 115 thou for all of that, money well spent.

What 15 years have brought us....
Reunion. This is just like my hubby's blog entry. 15 years passed. People go their separate ways.
One day - reunion. This was in Setiabudi One, Ta' Wan restaurant, lunch hour, Friday 12 May 2006.
What 15 years have brought us?
Female 1-
married for several months. Divorced. I never got the confirmation, just a story passed by another female. Her weight reached 62kgs at one point, lose it to the georgeous 43 she is now. Colored hair, colored contact lenses. Ex-smoker. Pay hefty for the form she is now. Determined to keep it. Lots of 'prospects' (ie male compatriates), one possible serious material. Would go to France to see his family. Just finished touring Europe. Just finished going around the world and Bali. Still single at this moment. Doing great at work.
Female 2-
single. Never married. Has a gallery, co-owned (?) with boyfriend. Boyfriend.... not husband material. Been wiht him 3 years. Now looking for a husband material. Got a possible 'hit' from an oldflame, an English. Dont' know how to proceed. Gained a bit during 15 years, but still slim. Wears no makeup, just like old days. Hauling her laptop.
Female 3-
single. Never married. Just finished touring Europe with Female 1. No "prospects". Still the way she was, a bit chubby on the cheeks. Still the same personality: nice.. super nice.... She was the one that 'glued' us this time.
Doing just fine at work.
Female 4-
Married to a Frenchman. Live just outside Toulousse. Married for about 5 years. No kid yet. Pack a bit of weight, but still slim. Truly slim.
Female 5-
Married for 10 years. Have 4 daughters. Still holding the same job she entered 10 years ago. Still living with her parents. Work is okay, though a bit of salary adjustment would make things brightier. Have packed and shed pounds. Friends said looked just like the old days. They couldn't see the fat I carry around, of course. Wears no makeup, just lipstick.
Female 6-
not present. Just her story: married, got divorced. No kid. Re-married and now live in London. No kid. Bule has always been her choice.
Have a nice live, mes amies.

This is one of those days......
Lack of sleep? Worry about something? Too many thoughts running in my mind? Celestial formation not in tune? Pre-menstrual syndrome?
This is one of those days when a lot of things doesn't seem right. My head is hurting, a migraine brewing, my eyes heavy, my mood - simply blah. Just finished a cup of milo while chatting to a colleague - which should've helped but not, want to grab a cup of capuccino but think about what that would do to my stomach.
I have my headphone blasting Gwen Stefani - Hollaback girl. Just anything to keep my spirit floating. But a crash is looming. Several laps in a pool would do a lot of good, I believe, but when? How? Where? Not bound to office with lots of things to finish up before tomorrow's holiday like this. Already thought of going home with works to do in the weekend. Not fun. Definitely not.
Been wanting to take my eldest to see Ice Age2 in the cinema. Come to think of it, she has never been to a cinema before. And been wanting to have my hair a new hair cut. Been wanting to go to spa and have a full body massage - with incense burning, dimmed light, soft music of water running. HAH! Been wanting to have glorius sex with my hubby without interruption and total abandon. Yeah... right.
I can go on and on and on and on with this and kill myself in the process.
STOP!
It's time to live, smile and (pretend to) be happy. NO MATTER WHAT.
Well, thanks, blog.

Jealousy - love or insecurity?
I just read this sentence moments ago: jealousy does not show how much we love someone but rather how insecure we are.
Is it?
Is it?
