where's xtong now?

   
The science textbooks I memorised during all those years of primary school proved to be wrong. Turns out Indonesia's rainy season doesn't end in April! It's late May, and we still get crazy thunderstorms almost every day here. That's not a good thing. The major roads flood for one thing, so I can never get out of the house if somebody else has gone out with the big car. And today, I got drenched coming home from work. I do drive, but there is a distance between the building and where I park my car. As my co-worker got picked up from the lobby, I got a ride in her car to get to mine and managed to minimise that distance, but still got drenched. I shall bring an umbrella in my bag as if I was Tokyo from now on. 

All is well now. I just had a long, hot bubble bath as soon as I got home, with the new soap and my favourite Herbal Essences, then finished off the last of the ice cream in the freezer. Nice.. 

It's been a long time since my last blog entry. For an update, Xtong is finally back HOME, in Surabaya, and has been able to meet up with many friends from high school who are also back from their studies. Also been busy trying to furnish the apartment; watching movies, serial House,M.D; spending time with the family; finally re-connecting with old, ooold friends from my Surabaya primary school on Blackberry; babysit the manager (I do EVERYTHING that needs to be done around the office), teaching all the co-workers Japanese (hey, I got one girl to memorise all the hiragana and katakana! so proud of her ^^) and influencing them to play games on my laptop during office hours at the same time. 

Anyway, my eyes are getting so heavy already. Tomorrow morning I need to go see another dentist for a second opinion about taking out my wisdom teeth. I don't trust that gay dentist anymore. He filled in my cavity twice during the past two weeks, and my tooth's still aching. After that it's Shrek in 3D with the girls!! Then, dinner at the Surabaya Town Square, apparently the hippest new hangout!
