Prita

Beberapa minggu yang lalu, gue ketemu dengan temen lama SMA yang udah beranak 3. :). Seneng deh … Lalu pada saat dia menyadari kalo gue belanja sendirian di Carrefour Mal Ambassador itu, keluar omongan deh, “Kamu kebanyakan milih sih. Cap cip cup aja kenapa sih? Di dunia nggak ada yang sempurna, honey”.

Terus terang, gue udah kebal ama omongan itu. *nyengir setan*. Gue cuman ngomong balik ke dia, “Yah nanti juga ada …”.

Ini gue ketemu sama temen SMA yang udah 10 tahun nggak ketemu lho cing. Jadi gue cukup tau dan males argue.

Dan … dia bales balik ke gue dengan, “Kapan adanya? Orang elo juga sibuk maen ama single2 ama kerja aja sih … Mana bisa prospek buat kewong??”
… benci deh gue, cewek 30an yang ngomongnya sama kayak nenek2 60an.

Senyum aja gue. Senyum basa basi. Walopun .. gue paling nggak ahli basa basi. Sebenernya gue pengen ngomong balik, tapi … nggak jadi. Abis, pas gue menoleh untuk diperkenalkan suaminya dan ngeliat suaminya … hmmm … gue bersyukur gue nggak asal ngomong soal memilih pasangan dengan cara ‘Cap cip cup’. Kalo gue dapet duit 1000 tiap denger orang ngomong metode cap cip cup dalam milih pasangan … gue udah kaya.

Dan dia bisa lho ngehubungin ke-single-an gue dengan ngomentarin masa lalu gue ama dia. “Aduh elo … jangan2 gara si Jerman itu ye loe allergy ama pacaran? Masih mentok aja loe ama dia? Halooo 2009, cing”

Hmmm … gue again senyum basa basi. Menurut gue, ini cuman urusan gue sama Noval.

Dan kalo gue mau membela diri, pembelaan gue adalah … gue nggakmentok sama Noval. Hanya karena gue emang in-love berat dan breaking up devastatedly with him gue nggak mentok sama dia. Kalo gue mentok, mana mau gue pergi sama cowok yang tiba2 brenti nemuin gue hanya karena gue nggak makan daging dan kalo mau pergi mesti di-plan?

Gue udah moved on. Bayu buktinya. Tapi … ternyata emang kadang ada aja kan hal yang nggak working out. Dan sorry nih … gue nggak pernah merasa berhenti untuk terus sama Bayu karena Bayu nggak kayak Noval. But simply because Bayu does not fond the fact that I dont eat lamb. So Bayu chose to not go out with me anymore. And that’s fine. Orang punya preferences. Seperti gue yang nggak mau jalan ama cowok rambutnya spike. …

Think before you talk, then you might not talk.

“So you went there only the 2 of you. And … with a girl? Really? What is so fun about that?”

“What was so fun about going to Bali with a woman and … with 1 woman only? So only the 2 of you driving all around Bali with a map and you said that it was the first time? What kind of Bali trip was that?”

So what?

I just don’t get when suddenly my friend out of nowhere found it odd about vacationing with a friend (which means only 2 persons in that trip) whom is a woman to Bali.

My first answer is … it’s not where you go to, it’s the person you go with. You can go to Maldives or … Europe … or maybe the most romantic place in the world but if you go there with someone who’s not cool, smart, and fun to be with … your vacation is screwed.

I went vacationing with a cool woman who knows what to do and where we should go to in Bali. For the last 2,5 years of my friendship with Miss Mia, she had never disappointed me when it comes about traveling. And this is not my first time.

She is well prepared. She is meticulous. She is very positive. She calculates everything at the exact price. She knows what to buy. She knows where to go.

And though she doesn’t drink, do drug and night clubs, she is still fun to be with. She doesn’t need boozes and amphetamines.

I don’t know, I may sound old and boring. But I really do think that I don’t need to get drunk to have fun. Or dancing on the bar table. Or … scoring by hooking up with the handsome guy whom happened to stay in the same hotel with us. Not at all.

I don’t judge people who did all of the above, but I do make a fuss when my friend judged me … that I’ve wasted my time because I don’t drunk, go to the hottest clubs, and went home with no list of guys’ phone number or even … the fact that I went there with a woman. And just the 2 of us.

“Oohhh I should buy lots of JD … I’m going to Bali”

“I should get some dopes and drugs … I’m vacationing, for Godsakes! What’s the use of going there without getting high?”

“I should get a partner and a box of condoms … It’s Bali, baby! Island of the sex Gods”

:).(Can you guess which one from the lines above that was said by a man? )

I guess some people have their own idealist mind about how a vacation should’ve spent. J. But don’t say that I’ve wasted my time. You weren’t there.

Sometimes vacation is not about the wacky crazy high and drunk or how many orgasms you got from the sex party. Some people vacationing for the view, the food, the beach, and the soothing feeling of getting away from the routines.

And believe me … compared to the orgasms the woman had next to my room at my hotel, my vacation is still awesome.

In my opinion, Miss Mia is doing what she’s good at. Which is travelling. And when you hooked up with someone who’s doing what she or he is good at … you won’t get bored. Even without the booze, hot guys, clubs, and drugs. She is a kind of woman whom plans the work and then work the plan.

The only thing I regret was I forgot to bring my bikini when we were at Karma Kandara beach! That’s all.

The rest was wonderful. And priceless.

Miss Mia is a very good traveling partner. With no doubt, I’m going to say yes if she asked me again. Of course, if I have the budget. *wink*

I work this Saturday. And i’m so glad I did.

Today, my 2 beautiful bosses will interview a candidate for Language Training Program Manager post. And I’m looking forward for today’s candidate. She came from Australia. She’s my age. And with the fact that she’s the only woman candidate in the list for that post excites me.

When she came this morning … argh, I was mesmerized. She’s beautifullllllllll. WIth her warm smile, red hair, she greeted me with a friendly ‘good morning’. My smile automatically blossoming out of my face.

Suddenly, i feel like saying … I WANT HER to be the new language training manager. ;). Forget the fact that she is suck in Bahasa Indonesia. Forget that she’s a woman. There’s something about her that gave me a good vibe. I wonder, if there’s an opening to be her assistant? I would love to apply.

Finally, a 30-something beautiful gal to be a manager in my office.

Hmmm, I really hope she nailed the job. Oh Vickers, Oh Harrison … sorry. But my vote goes to Ms Samuels. *LOL*

PS: We’re going to interview Thomas on Monday. I hope he won’t be nervous during the interview. But still, my vote goes to Ms Samuels. Besides, something tells me that being an Examiner is his last resort for career maneouvre in IELTS. *laughing like the devil, huahahahahhahahah*
