an arranged marriage

What about an arranged marriage?
Arrrrgh! What do you expect a 26 y/o woman reacts when such a question pops up?

It was Monday morning when I was getting ready to go to work ...
I simply had no idea what to say, and just walked away.

This is how I view an arranged marriage:

Uplifting

If you're looking for some uplifting quotes, here is one:

I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.

--Agatha Christie--

I don't understand men

Gals, you might want to check out the following quote:

Men are liars. We'll lie about lying if we have to. I'm an algebra liar. I figure two good lies make a positive.

Well said!

Well OK, this is how I finally ended up with the quote above:

Somewhere ... away from Jogja

"How do you get to work? By bus? car? motorbike?"
A friend of mine asked me this question few weeks ago.

Q: "How do you get to work?"
A: "Well, I take public transport to the errr ... port. Then I take a speedboat!"

At first, it was a bit weird to respond 'by speedboat'. Amazingly, I've been doing so for more than 2 months, and I kinda enjoy that.
Here I am, in Balikpapan. That is the city I live in currently. But then my workplace is located in a place called 'Tanjung Batu'. It takes about 10 minutes to get there by speedboat from Semayang, Balikpapan.

There's so much to say about Tanjung Batu. But, I just find it hard to describe this 'soothing' place, until I read a piece of writing, entitled:

TANJUNG BATU, THE MOST CIVILIZED REMOTE AREA

*click to enlarge and then read*

Perfect title! It's an article submitted by an ESL course participant, named Feby Antoni on completion of a writing competition held by POSB - the most civilized remote area- . He could describe Tanjung Batu way better than I did (I tried several times, though). This piece of work would exactly tell what it is like to be in Tanjung Batu.

Turning 25

I'm turning 25 this year!!!

been busy doing this and that ... then I began 'googling' what people say about turning 25. Some of the results are startling, that not many people are excited about turning 25.

Check out on what 'uncle Google' found:

"Twenty Something: Why I'm not excited about turning 25"

"Why does turning 25 feel like a mid life crisis?!"

"Turning 25: A Quarter-Life Crisis?!"

"Depressed a/b turning 25...where did my life go?!"

I know I should've read more, to figure out people's views on turning 25. But, I'm not in the mood for that. For, I know that it's pretty much the same as what I have in my mind now, hmmm. What? Those titles above! kinda describe what's on my mind.

Soon, I ended up searching 'agreement' on how people like me are described ...
I read random and found this:

Ahh, yeah! Procrastination!

Maybe I should do something about it, particularly in this 'turning 25' moment in my life.
Is it the right time to start? Wait, can I take my time?

*big grins* I'm procrastinating!!!
