THE BEAUTIFUL STRANGER

What will you do when the universe leads you to the greatest opportunity! Are you going to grab it or you just let them slip away? We will never know until it happens!

Although this story can be a bad precedent for Tante “M” reputation in the future, however I can’t help myself to tell you all about it. Since it was so silly, funny and in the same times its kind of odd situation!!!!

The story began when I attended my best friend with initial Ms. ”V” secret wedding ceremony in Singapore, “C’mon guys cut it out!!! I know exactly what you’re thinking -- Ms. ”V” doesn’t stand for Ms. Vagina, okay?!!” Hahahaha…

The night before the trip I was at The German Asparagus Dinner in Jakarta Intercontinental Hotel where they served us free flow German beers plus wines and delicious asparagus feast! The dinner itself was ended around 2 am and the next morning I have to be in the airport at 7 am. So you know how tired and hangover I was that morning. Thanks god, everything was running smoothly; from the check in to the immigration counter.

Since I still got another 30 minutes time to kill, I was thinking to continue my beauty sleep in the waiting room and I found perfect seating arrangement where I could catch up my beauty sleep. When I was about to close my eyes, I saw this lovely leather light brown camel boot with white shoes insoles that someone wore in front of me. That lovely boot awakens me from my sleepy mood=)

And while I was busy paying attention to the camel boot, I felt like there was someone watching over me. So I looked around to see who the person was. It turned out that the person was the owner of the lovely camel boot.

I whispered to myself….”Hello there, the beautiful stranger!” hehehehe…

Wow, what a nice surprise!!!! He’s not only has a good taste on boot but he also has cute-charming-friendly face with crew cut hair and tall-proportional body! He’s so my type!!!!!.... Uuh, come to Tante “M”! …

I really liked his style – clean and classy! Nothing but basic jeans, t-shirt and hoodie jacket with classic leather watch and postman bag. No other accessories attached.

We started discreetly heavy flirting to each other; you know... the game of Malu – malu kucing or jinak – jinak merpati!! OMG, I felt like back to virgin again! HUAHUHAUAHUAHUAKKKK……

Finally the boarding announcement called and all the passengers get ready to enter the plane including both of us. GUESS WHAT?!!! He sat right in front of me (15F) meanwhile I sat on 16F!!! During the flight, I can see he was agitating in his seat. He kept on open and closes the window then slightly looked at me through the window reflection.

I felt sorry for him and I was thinking, should I or shouldn’t I talk to him first to bare his agony? ... All of a sudden I remembered the motto of my bitchies friend: “You could be cheap and easy, but never be both, honey!” So I dropped that idea since it was too cheesy and unlike Tante’s style =)

The plane is landed safely at Changi Airport budget terminal. I went out straight to immigration then to shuttle bus transfer to terminal 2 to catch up the MRT to Clark Quay.

I kind of lost him since I saw him rushing down to immigration counter ahead before me. I just thought we will never seeing each other again!!!.... SO BYE-BYE BEAUTIFUL STRANGER!!!

While I was waiting for my bus to arrive there he was walking and smiling toward my direction. My heart was pumping so hard but I kept my game face on like nothing happened =) He stood right behind me to queue for the same bus.

The transfer bus arrived. I picked the seat behind the driver next to the window and I let the seat next to me empty in which hopefully he will sit next to me. I saw him almost nearly take the empty seat next to me but somehow he changed his mind and he moved across the empty seat next to window! Now it’s my turn to feel the agony… C’mon man, just make your move … I already gave all the green lights that I possibly can give!!! HUAHUAHUAHUAKKK…

Along the way to terminal 2, I caught him several time looking at me discreetly! Well dear, it’s your lost and definitely it’s not mine…

I was so busy helping out my friend with her wedding preparation and I completely forgot about the beautiful stranger, until we met again by coincidence at Changi airport on the way back to Jakarta and he’s in my flight!!!

I can see in his eyes, how shock he was when he found out that I was in the same flight like he was. But in the same I also realized that he’s glad and happy to see me!

There are 10,000 peoples traveling every day in and out Singapore. The opportunity to bump into the same person is quite rare! And how odd it was that we had the same flight schedule! Is it fate that we meet again? =)

Once again the discreetly heavy flirting game began but still nobody made any moves! Aarrrrrgggggggggggghhhhhhh…… Can see how frustration Tante “M” was!!!! Sometime I wish I could have Loui and Saputra inner bitchiness and devilness!!! I guess, being Tante “M” itself was not enough! Hahahaha……

After the plane landed at Soekarno Hatta Airport, I went out straight to immigration then to Damri shuttle bus without waiting on him. “Well if it’s meant to be, it will happen!! And if I ever seeing him again, I will go talk to him first! “, I promised to myself.

And you know WHAT?!!!! 10 minutes later, there he was buying Damri ticket too!!!

Gee now I have to go talk to him!!! … For the first time in my bitchy life as Tante “M”, I was frozen and speechless!!! Can you imagine ME speechless, phew =)

Thanks god, I got safe by the Damri bus to Blok M that arrived in time, so I just rushed into the bus to avoid talking to him and hoping that he goes to different direction.

OH MAN, YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!! Can you believe it that he’s in the same bus like I was, AGAIN!!! Gee, it was getting strange by the time. I don’t know if its fate or he’s simply stalking me =) I counted 4 times coincidence already! From the same flight schedule to the same bus directions! WHAT NEXT?!!!! He’s my neighbor too!!!! Hahahaha…

He sat in front of me and I sat behind him… Still none of us made any moves.... I felt like déjàvu all over again! I don't know why, I’m kind of chicken out to start… even though just to say hello!!!...

Not later than that, there was a nice lady sat next to me and we’re started engaging to easy conversation about each other. I know that he’s ear dropping to our conversation. And since I might run out of lucks to get to know him, in the same time I was too shame to say hello first, so I pulled my last trick -- I spoke a bit louder so he can hear my conversation with the nice lady next to me. I really hope he listened and take a note about me! hehehehe....... Well, I know guys... it's so cheesy trick but that was my last chances!!!! What can I say...

He got off at Plaza Senayan meanwhile I was still continuing my journey to Blok M. Once again I have to say good bye to the beautiful stranger without actually get his name or his number!!! See how silly Tante”M” could be!!! .....

The moral of the story is “the so-called self image keeps you away from orgasm!” hahahha … As for me, it was nice to know that coincidences did exist after all and I really hope it happens to me again =)

The Misery of the Room Number 17 "Behind”

Nothing out of ordinary with the room number 17 and it just likes any other room in Tubagus Ismail VII Mansion. Most of them have the same room sizes, interiors and they shared common facilities such as; living room, dining room and kitchen area.

Until something extraordinary happened to me in one beautiful-peaceful morning. I saw something that I shouldn’t see and it had been haunted me for the rest of my stay in Tubagus Ismail VII Mansion.

It’s all started when I was doing my ritual activity in the morning -- going out to get my breakfast. My room is in the second floor and I liked to use front door exit which I have to pass the aisle of first floor corridor. It was quiet and beautiful morning as far as I could remember.

And since it was early in the morning, no one has awake. I was the only one who is walking down the corridor aisle. While I was enjoying the morning fresh air, from the distant I saw something was moving so quickly toward the first floor kitchen area.

I can’t tell what it was since I didn’t use my glasses so my vision little bit blurred. The closer I got to the kitchen, the more clearer my vision was. It was a male hunched over in front of the refrigerator as if he was looking for food in the refrigerator.

I can’t see his face clearly however something extraordinary just caught my eyes!!! It was so captivated and hypnotized -- it almost made my heart stop and gasping for fresh air.

There it was in front of my two bare eyes, so close and personal -- I saw rounded, firms, squeezable butts screamed out loud asking me to set them free.

My heart felt so deeply moving by them and somehow I could feel their pains under that white transparent tight boxers’ short. I was almost so close to set them free until I restrained my two hands from ripping it off and I decided to walk away.

Then I realized that my split second decision to walk away has haunted me and I could not forgive myself ever since!!! How could I let that rounded, firms, squeezable butt detained and suffering under that white transparent tight boxer short! without doing anything. I’m so SORRY butt!!! I do … I’M SORRY!

I tried to find who the man behind that captivated rounded, firms, squeezable butt. A friend of mine who stayed longer than me said that it belong to the room number 17.

Unfortunately until I finished writing this article, I haven’t had chance to tell him anything. I guess I just have to live with that moment.

Before I leave Tubagus VII Mansion, I would like to write a letter to the room number 17 to express my deep feeling about that haunted moment.

Dear Room Number 17 (the Captivated Butt)

Sorry, I haven’t had a chance to proper introduce myself to you; however I have to speak this issue now before forever holds my peace. I’ve been tortured inside out ever since I saw your rounded, firms, squeezable butt screams out loud asking me to set them free and I turned my back on them. My decision to walk away from them has haunted me and I could not forgive myself.

You may not realize it how the white transparent tight boxer’s short treated them. They suffocated then and treated them like barbarian. Honestly it made me sick to my stomach!!!

Please for my peace of minds, could you be so kinds to give your captivated butt a room to breathe and once a while release them in to the wild.

I told you all of this because of my huge concern for your butt well being and nothing more.

Could you also be kinds to ask for their forgiveness? I’m sorry I could do anything that day and I have to bear the consequent for the rest of my life because of it.
I’m sorry … Good Bye,

GBUGB (God Bless Ur Glorious Butt)
XOXO – your truly

2010

Every year in my life, I managed to surprise myself by pushing my boundaries, conquer my fears, and be a better version of myself. In other words – “keeping my life interesting and worth living for!!!”

For me 2010 is the year of personal adjustment and intensive traveling. Well, I’ve never traveled so much in my entire life, like I did this year. In total I visited 12 places within the country either for work or leisure, such as: Tanjung Puting (Central Kalimantan), Cisarua (West Java), Bangka (Babel), Bromo (East Java), Medan (North Sumatera), Bali, Komodo Island (NTT), Yogyakarta (DIY), Lombok (NTB), Timika (Papua), Bandung (West Java) and Macan Island (one of the island in a thousand islands). And 2 countries outside of Indonesia, such as: Laos and Myanmar!

During my travel I met a lot of interesting people that in a real life I may not have opportunity to meet or even to engage with them. I also gained “inside knowledge” about the people, places or the countries that I visited and enjoying the beautiful-gorgeous-breathtaking scenery, right in front of my bare eyes just like the picture perfect in the travel magazine… OMG!!!

Although I’m not religious person – to be able to witness such exquisite beauty and the fact that I’m just a tiny part of the universe, it made me feels grateful and appreciates the life existence of God’s creation and I love Indonesia even more!!! VIVA INDONESIA!!!!

Of course 14 travels in a year could be overwhelmed experiences especially when I was juggling between work, relationship, my disease and personal adjustment living in the big city, like Jakarta! But it was possible … as long as you committed on it=)

In term of my personal adjustment living in the big city like Jakarta: I’ve to say I’m doing fine, means I know my way around the city (please bear in mind that Jakarta is huge place, so if I said I know my way around the city – it’s only related to South and Central of Jakarta, far from that I’m still lost =).

Finding “the right cycle of friends” that shares the same wild-craziness ideas and passion of life also helps me well-adjust to the city life. Even thought in the process of searching “the right cycle of friends”, I lost couple friend but I gained more friends in the end … What can I say; it’s a process of natural selection =)

If I may concluded my greatest accomplishment in adapting to big city life is that I managed to find a right compromise of the life that I love with the city that I lived in without haveto sacrifice my personal lifestyle and turned into the typical "big city lifestyle". Which I’ve noticed that most of them have tendency to lose their interest to explore the life beyond their box and that makes their life become more predictable. Hey, I only live once and being predictable is not in my life dictionary!!

Conquer my fears … For almost 2 years I lived with strange disease. It was started back in 2008 at my last day worked in Aceh and it keeps coming back ever since. Frequently out of the blue I got swollen left eye in my upper eyelid and it looks like someone beat me up.

Well, I tried to seek for professional treatment from several doctor but somehow none of them came up with accurate diagnose. That makes me gave up and tried my best to ignore it even though it was quite irritated me.

Until 4 months ago, I begin took it seriously when the Dr. said;”based on my CT scan result that I might got either inflammatory, mixed tumor or lymphoma”. The fact that none of these choices were better option, it scared the hell out of me! However I still managed to put everything in positive perspective and keep on searching for the right treatment.

In the end I just found out that I'm born with Atopy disease. Atopy disease is a genetic disease characterized by a tendency to be “hyper-allergic or hyper-sensitive” over certain substances. The irony part was I’m not even a sensitive person to begin with!! hehehehe....

The great part of my disease that the trigger could be anything, from: foods, dust, stress or the rapid changing of weather temperature - basically if my immune system was low the disease will appears.

Somehow I’m kind of think that my disease is like a blessing in disguise… Now I have a good reason to excuse myself over bad food, bad weather, or maybe bad man or people that I don’t like since I’m hyper-allergic =) …. So far there’s no cure for it, however according to the Dr. the person with Atopy disease could live longer by being more conscious with their body reaction.

The fact that I got this disease didn’t stop me from having a good time and traveling =)

Well, in general I’m quite satisfied with the whole year event was turned up in 2010 – I learn a lot and discovered so many things about myself =)

At the moment I’m still enjoying my unpaid holiday (in between contract) after my last contract was finished with OCSP (Orangutan Conservation Services Program). What is next for me? AMAZING RACE ASIA… I would love to be part of that race!!! …

Anyway guys,...

Keep on surprising yourself because you do not know the good things that you will gain out of it!!!! And try to live your life outside your box even so just throw the box away!!! (Quote from Mel Cee)

Once again thank you for your presence in my life and made my life becomes more colorful!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR and enjoy your New Year Eve!!!....
