As i mentioned in my ABOUT page that i have lots of bestfriends, I have 3 bestfriends who i met when i was still  working in Surabaya around year 2000 to 2003. We unofficially called ourselves as dkny’s (ding, khat,n yuce, sofi). Then, one day, Yuce, Ding, and me went to Tunjungan Plaza, Surabaya (TP 3). After having lunch, 3 of us unintentionally went to the games area in which there was a huge boat namely Columbus (if i’m not mistaken, coz it’s been a while since the last time I went to Tunjungan Plaza 3). The boat was swinging and the passangers, who were mostly teenage girls, were screaming out loud, especially when the boat seemed would crack the mall’s ceiling.

Three of us were waiting in line (for the riding) and I said to Yuce (well, i think i should write in Indonesian, to make it understandable and get the “humourous” taste…^^)…

Khat (K): Halah, gitu ae jerat-jerit, ya memang mesti njerit seh, biarno asik, tapi yo gak usah segitune lah njerit e…(halah, gitu aja ngejerit-jerit, ya emang musti ngejerit sih biar asik, tapi ya ga usah segitunya lah yao—->in case you don’t understand the Suroboyoan hehehe)…

Yuce (Y): Iyo, mosok sampe kayak gitu yo…(iya, masak sampe segitunya—->I made this conversation with Yuce since I knew that she had been on that kind of riding)

Ding (D): (dengan lirikan tajam…)Iyo, pancene carik-carik perhatian kok arek-arek abg itu (= Iya, emang cari perhatian aja anak-anak abg itu…)

Y: Ding, emange kamu pernah tah naek ? (= emang kamu pernah naik?)

D: Gak

K&Y:????!!!??? (we looked at each other’s eyes)

Yup, and when we had our seat up in the Columbus and the boat started to swing, it was our beloved and cutest friend Ding whose screaming was the loudest one. Yuce and I could not hold our laugh and our stomach was sooooooo hurt because of that.

I think there are lots of things happen in our lives and also people around us. The good or the bad ones. Some of the things, especially the bad ones, sometimes come to us with some warnings or at the worst part, there are no warning at all. Most of the time, it is not that we do not know the result from the action we will do or have done. Sometimes it is the X factor that made us do some particular action.

Some of my bestfriends (or people who really care about me, especially my future)have given me some warnings about what I have been chosen lately. And it is not that i do not know the consequences if i choose it. Yes, I clearly know about it. But guys, I have confirmed it all with my Boss. So, don’t you all worry about it. I just have to strengthen myself. Maybe i should take more hours in excersizing. But, thank you all for the warnings.

I remember some years a go, I have been in the place of the “warning-givers”. Believe me!. It’s easier said than done.

That’s why the thing happened on me lately had reminisced me about Ding and the boat. (ehm,…fyi, my friend Ding now is expecting her second son…^^)…

Well, c’est la vie…
