Remember the sandwhich?


This page will elaborate more of what happened to me on May 28, 2004. Friday the tiring day.
..as I entered the office...ooy oy oy..before that...^^ I had my breakfast and spent only Rp 3000 for meals. no more than that. and in fact, I was full enough just to have one third of rice, tempe, and of course...sproutsssss.....MY fave vegs.
...now back to the office..
I had decided to finish my proposal of Korean History Textbook writing the day before.

But, then..I was more intrigued by using internet to start writing the proposal. After all, I still had one more important thing lingered or more precisely stucked in my head...>>>revising my project proposal for Hallyu stuff; for it is due by today (the day I am writing this page). Well, I did submit it. and it worked just fine.

Later on, I was obsessed by this blog stuff (hehe; for this new blogworld has already somewhat intrigued, obsessed, and overcome my senses:) well..not really, it's just that things are prettier and easier when I am jotting down my ideas to words.

and at around 10.30..I remembered again that I got to finish the proposal. and there I was.

For about the next 3 hours..I was stucked in front of the computer...typing all I could think of. I was so fully succumbed to this writing process..that I almost forgot I got to go to the Mosque. and I did.
Before having my Friday prayer...as usual..I sent an sms to msyd whether he could have or spare some time to have Friday prayer together at the nearby mosque.

..waiting for about 30 minutes just in time for me to start praying...he never replied my sms.

to my surprise, at about 1 p.m. I got a sms telling me that he'd just bought another voucher for his hp and told me that he'd used up all of his money. So used up that he couldn't even buy a slice of bread for lunch.

knowing that it might or could be a good idea or excuce of meeting him...I was offering him if I could bring over some lunch to his office. But, then he declined. Instead, he said that I would much better concentrate to have a rest for a while or so. So he said.

Well..it wouldn't have been me if I didn't make him meet me. haha.
so..I wrapped some snacks and had a chance to buy two layers of sandwhiches. Good combi.

I rushed to the parking lot, took my bike, sped it out..right to his office which was only a 7 minute ride.

he showed up...grinning. still wearing his Friday prayer's cap. cute. and seemed happy to see me or lunch that I brought hehe. But...one thing for sure..I could grasp some lunch for him. That's something that made me feel relieved, happy, calm..and good about myself.

then..I went back to my office again.
started to write a few more facts here and there to the proposal which was supposed to have been sent to Korea. Luckily, the deadline was at 5 p.m. Seoul time...and that meant 3 pm here.

I managed to finish the proposal..and what a relieving feeling I felt inside.
Things are getting better now.

I am now here enjoying the day ..my free and leisure day..
without any thoughts or stuffs to think about..haha LYING....come on suray..never will you be ever be free of free minds as long as you never give yourself a chance to give in...
righttoooo

---
I prayed ashar.
the only thing left on my mind after praying was that I got to finish another proposal !!!!

YUUUPPPP another one.
you GOT it.
You HEARD it.

another one. I got to revise the proposal or else I won't be able to be eligible for the next research fund.
thank God..I did it. and I managed to make 4 copies of them...and I wrapped them up today.

and so...I am now relieved....

SANDWHICH IS THE ONLY THING THAT I CAN REMEMBER
HAHAHAHA...



Oh No..I thought....Indonesian Idol was...


..gosh...I was late..and so oblivious of what happened. I thought Indonesian Idol was gonna be at 8 pm last night. I waas wrrrroooong. ..
so it happened that I came home right a few minutes before 8 just to find that I had made a mistake.
I missed almost all of the show. the only thing I could grasp at the last minutes was the time when Delon--so he called--was singing his first tune.
and to my surprise..he was the 10th or the last idol-to-be to perform last night. :(((
but..then...luckily enough..I could take a peep on the recap of the show.
jaw-opener.....
I couldn't believe that all of them had great voices.
AFI is nothing..nothing compared to all those 10 idols-to-be. (well, except for Tia Afi).

anwyay..
I was a little bit overwhelmed by the magnitude of the show.

------
Delon? 50% votes....? gosh..
anyhow...
I did see him sing. and He's okey.

today, The Best Day ever..One of them

Today has been a hectic one. Early in the morning, I was having this little usual 'fight' with my wife..hehe:0) well..I am just a suray who's always in a hurry when things get tough...hmmm wellll...not only when things get tought...but MOST of the TIME hehe. I guess..that is simply the reason why morning seems tougher than nights do. (Bla Bla Bla).
anyway...
I went to campus earrlyyy...no no!! I was lying. I was actually late...verrryyy late, for I got check on my computer and my misplaced paperwork just minutes before 7 ( the time when I was supposed to have started teaching hehehe). see what I mean?

anyway...
I arrived at campus just in time to save my day--almost all of my students had been waiting for about 15 mins. or so for me.... and to make matter worse, I didn't copy the grades of the students into my note before I distributed them. To make it even worse, I didn't bring even a pen with me:((( what was happening to me. But, then..luckily (lucky??) I found a pen and without any more waits...I jotted the grades down and started calling each student's name; asking them to receive their grade-added exam paper.

anyway...
I managed to finish my first two hours at campus.

hmmm..right after I finished teaching, I spent a little time with Yang sonsaengnim who was guarding the adjacent's class final examination. nice talk. a little bit of laughters. nagging. and bla bla bla...^..^

anyway...

I will finish this diary later on...
cos I GOT TO SEE INDONESIAN IDOL......
GOSH..GOSH GOSH..IT'S ALMOST 8 P.M. AND I AM STILL AT THE OFFICE..
I GOT TO GO HOMEEEEE....TO SEE INDONESIAN IDOL...

OH MY MY SURAY...

small thought

I had this beautiful day of remembering all the things I did.
Something good is always happening to me whenever I did something good.

Relieved...

I finished teaching this semester. The whole new world is open up right before my eyes..as I finished teaching!!. I started to fell that I am exposed to the unlimited wonders of the world:-P well..at least that's what I feel when you've been doing nothing but...teaching..teaching..and teaching..for the last 6 months. of course..it doesn't mean that I hate teaching..NO. that's not IT.
It was just that I spent most of my time teaching others; while consciously I was just sacrificing my being 'suray'

Starting from this moment..on..never will ever dampen my spirit that is starting to keep soaring high and high...

I just wanna spend the rest of this semester...pondering about my being 'suray'
well, anyone might have some difficulties in understanding what being 'suray' means..
still..I am pretty much sure that out there...some will easily understand and hooked by what being 'suray' means....

I am just what I am...I am just suray who's been in this situation...
I am happy...

More & mOrE WoRk 2 Do

gosh..seems like nothing ever stops...
I just finished handling the project about Korea-stuff. Now..I am face to face with moer stuffs on Korea. Well..looks like nothing ever stops. Luckily nothing ever dampens my spirit of going and going throung all of these. Being there. Been there. Been there.

Not once..not even once have I been more perplexingly overwhelmed by the thoughts of having to meet deadlines like what I AM facing now. One project finished. Another one came. and another one..and another one...

Sometimes I wonder if I would ever stop and have a time of myself to relax and to be free...

Jobs. Corrections. Proposals. Meetings. Courtesy smiles. Real Smiles. Stressed Out.Jobs. Pressure. Being Pressured. Under pressure. Confused. Happy. Relaxed. Relieved. ....never have I been in the situation where I could feel as many as 10 or more feelings at a minute!!!

BUT...as I wrote in my previous blog....I AM FEELING HAPPY TODAY..AND THIS MOMENT, STILL...FOR I HAVE MET tfom.

I am kinda relieved to release all the burdens ...out of my life..today.
I am blessed and happy, today...^^.
hope..it will stay the same...

Been There


Apart from the life I am having now, I still keep the fresh memories of what and where I've been through for--say--the past 10 years. The first encounter of my disguised life started back when I was still a lad--well, not really a lad, for I was 19 y.o.then. Still, the thought of being a naive guy lingered on my mind.

I was happy, then. and I am not saying that I am. I AM. much more happier than I imagined. It is a blessing.
