Sing Stars

Post #101

Wow….it’s been another busy week. Still supporting users and their workload increased exponentially. Watching 24 season 5, chatting and browsing were the things that help me relieving the stress in supporting the users. Though they’re difficult to handle sometimes (well…most of the times…), I kinda miss them, I miss the interaction….(and the food….lolzzz). Tomorrow’s gonna be my last day of supporting them. I’ll be back to PLN main office in August.

There were lots of interesting things happened this week. Had a voice chat till 3 AM in the morning (the longest one I’ve ever had), while I had to wake up at 7 AM. As a result, I acted like a zombie that day. It was very tiring (and torturing), had to stay focus, concentrate while the only thing that always came up in my mind was sleeping in my comfortable king size bed….luckily the users who came for support weren’t too many. I don’t regret it though coz it really tested my resilience…lolz. In the afternoon Rhea said that she couldn’t come to our prayer gathering coz she had some work to do. It’s too bad but we got her replacement.

The most interesting events happened on Friday. Moet revealed very shocking news. I was kinda…..what the…??? How?? And it became the headline of this forum in which I’m one of the moderator. I mean it’s sooooooo surprising… Wow…that’s the thing about internet. You can never know if a person is really like he/she’s claiming to be in the real life, based only on your correspondence through the net. Even if you have met that person, there’re still possibilities that he/she’s not like what he/she claims to be. I tend to look the best in people, to think positive. I mean what’s the point of lying to others in the net, beside to fulfill your own sense of insecurity or lack of confidence. Except you wanted to gain something from other people that you lied to (which was the case in this shocking news). Though we haven’t really clarified this with the “potential culprit”, but all the ‘evidence’ (if I may say so) seem to say it all. The lesson I can learn (n share) from this incident (though I’m already aware n always be cautious) is to be careful trusting a person whom you never seen before in real life (even if you have met the person irl). It’s good to trust someone but we must be wise in putting our trust. Hopefully this matter will resolve soon…

This week was ended with lost of singing. Yesterday I went to Happy Puppy (after filling our biological tank at Hanamasa) with Livia, Hendra, Irwan, etc. We sang for three hours. It was very exhausting since I already played badminton in the morning. Last nite I finally got some decent sleep, after a week lack of sleeping. And today I woke up early to attend the first morning mass. I saw Marlyn and Yuni. Marlyn was still stunning and looked mature like she always had. I think the last time I saw her was at Christmas Eve mass two or three years ago. And then I also saw Sandra with her parents but she disappeared when I was looking at Marlyn. Then I got home n……..sleep again… I was such a pig…. Woke up again n watched 24.

Went to Happy Puppy again..this time with my b*tches…David, Agus, Bowo (plus his gf). Eddy came not so long after we checked in. we sang for three hours (again). We haven’t gone karaoke for quite some time. We sang like crazy…like we always do (n always will I guess….lolzzz). Bowo’s gf’s distant cousin joined us. Her name was Diana n she was kinda cute…her accent was so……medok….wong Suroboyo..gitu lohhhhhh…..lolzzz. After that we went to Gadink Mall…looked around and played pool. When we decided to go back, it was raining heavily. We dropped Diana at her place and the rain stopped.. Thank God coz I went to Gadink using my motorcycle… Now I need to save my voice…talk only if necessary…;p.

The shocking news reminds me of Savage Garden’s song, Santa Monica… It's a very beautiful song, very soothing n calming. The chorus is something like this… But on the telephone line (including internet) I am anyone, I am anything I want to be…. I can be a supermodel or Norman Mailer…. And you wouldn’t the difference….or would you????

Savage Garden - Santa Monica

In Santa Monica, in the wintertime,
The lazy streets so undemanding
I walk into the crowd
In Santa Monica, you get your coffee from
The coolest places on the promenade
Where people dress just so
Beauty so unavoidable, everywhere you turn
It's there.
I sit and wonder what am I doing here?

But on the telephone line I am anyone
I am anything I want to be.
I could be a super model or Norman Mailer
And you wouldn't know the difference
Or would you?

In Santa Monica, all the people got modern names
Like Jake or Mandy
And modern bodies too
In Santa Monica, on the boulevard,
You'll have to dodge those in-line skaters
Or they'll knock you down
I never felt so lonely,
Never felt so out of place
I never wanted something more than this

But on the telephone line I am anyone
I am anything I want to be
I could be a super model or Norman Mailer
And you wouldn't know the difference
On the telephone line, I am any height
I am any age I want to be
I could be a caped crusader, or space invader
And you wouldn't know the difference
Or would you?
