Long (Not So) Hot Summer Nights

It has been a while since I posted my blog, which might be forgotten if my wife and my friends did not remind me about this blog. Well, I think this period of summer is just one of the low point in my life. I only have a few targets (for works and school) this summer, which I think I can manage (I hope, I hope, I hope...), but I have a feelling that I've been drained. Damn, I should go home. Well, let's stop here and let me update myself with my activities on the last couple of weeks.

After Ange left, I'm the only Champaign Beyatch left in this small area. Again, one of the most connected numbers was useless, following Yudis and Ardi. Then, the already pilled rollover minutes (around 1000 minutes after I lost my mobile 5-6 months ago) will pilled up again if I don't change my habit, huehehehe. Actually, most of my minutes are used to connect with my wife. I don't get it. Why almost all of my friends complain about the overage? They must have a lot of friends, or a lot of things to talk about, or both. It really pissed me off, if they don't accept my called because they have finished their minutes limit. By the way, I already forward my skype to my mobile phone. If I have credits and I don't pick up the called in skype, all the called made through skype will be forwarded to my mobile, cool huh. So, let's used skype, I'm a fanatic user now. My wife and I use skype religously, the best price and quality for internet telephone by far (This is a review from a long distance relationship expert, any dissapointment from believing this review is entirely not my responsibility).

Okay, where was I? hhmm. Well, the truth is we still have things to do for Ange, even after she left. We have to pick up her things at her apartment, and distribute it to the needy like me and other friends. One box have to be returned to her professor or fellow RA, and I still have one of her box to be sent. Therefore, we went an "errand" for her (I heard about this word a lot, but I think this is the first time I heard one of my friends use it, she's good huh, hueheheh). Of course the big journey was done a week before that, when we went to Chicago to drive Ardi to the airport and drop off Ange boxes. The complete story of the prapation before Ange left can be seen in her blog. The untold story will be revealed in other convinient time, huehehehhehe. Basically, we cleaned her apartment a few days after she left, with the help of Ika and Ayong. By we here, I mean Paksi and Etta. By the way, I think I lost her mobile telephone bill (hehehhehehe), the last time I remembered I put it in my back pocket, maybe Etta has it , but Ange already disconnected the phone. I hope she has a good (love) life in Jakarta, or any other places, huahahaha.

Other thing that I have to do is to guide Etta how to drive. I'm not a good mentor on this, because she always protested my method. She even complained that if she drive with me she misses the sign easily, but not with her friend (gosh, I must be a jinx there).

One night we almost ran in to the ditch at the highway entry. Sometimes, she drove according to herself. If she think it is right, she just go for it, unfortunately most of her thinking were wrong. Of course, like any people with this kind of behaviour, will protested about the traffic light that is not in the 'right' place, the road sign that is 'strange', the line on the road that can not be seen, the Paksi that brings mistakes, etc. Well, maybe she is right, I don't know, I'm not an expert in the traffic science, and I don't believe in jinx, but I know I will not run trough a traffic light, just because I think the traffic light is in the wrong place. Also, it's a waste of time to protest the traffic/road sign, because they simply wont reply. Actually, this kind of things remind me of one of my friend who just went back home, where she often thinks that everythings around her are wrong, huehehehehhe.

Phew, I'm too old for this, my heart is getting weaker nowadays. Well, I think Etta is a serious and clever women, and always takes everything seriously, including driving, huehehheheeh. As for me, driving is one of good relaxation activity, especially in Champaign (the only traffic is on the Green St. and in the traffic light, I wonder why they used traffic light here, it is a waste of electricity). But she finally get better and better everyday. Hopefully, she will take the driving test as soon as possible, before she forget, or before she think too much again, hueheheheh.

Okey, that's all for now, I have to go back to work, well, actually it is a lunch time, so I have to stop playing and start my lunch, huahahahaha. I hope after this post, Etta will still cook for me, hueheheheh. Because she always gives me a threat, like on one occasion, she warn me not to smoke ganja if I still want to taste her cook, huahahah. It was an easy choice. By the way, I have ganja now, hueheheheh.

Live Long and Prosper
