Farewell Princess Ange

It’s coming to the end of the month, means its Anggie’s last day of stay here in Artek. We initially planned a Bogor trip for Anggie’s farewell party. But everything changed. On the day we were supposed to go, it was raining heavily and some of us couldn't make it due to work busy schedule. It was a pity that everything changed, because it would be a nice way to bid good luck and moving on. Anyway, in the end it comes to a Saturday lunch farewell at Pancious in Permata Hijau. There was a lunch, as always the photo moment, reading of friends’ letter, and a big group hugs in the end :D It was sad… well especially during the reading, but it was for a greater good. Ange good luck in the new office ya… We’ll miss you :’)

'nice :)'

'great'

'yummy yum'

'superb'

'not my kind of food, but still gooodddd...^^'

'look stale but, nice!'

'great for dessert'

'time to eat'

'the reading of the letter is next'

'clockwise direction'

'I got the part to read Roro's (Anggie's roommate) so it was kinda tough job cos it was very deep'

'before all mascara went away'

'after reading, we gave her a "special" gift :D (must be wondering what's with the gift, right?) :P'

'I don't know why, but I just had to give her the blink blink pin :P'

Outing

Monday report to what I did during the weekend. So last weekend we went to Bandung for an outing with the office. After 3 years, the office made another fun outing to build a closer bond between colleagues. It was fun. Though some of the contestants are still the same, but it doesn’t felt the same anymore. Both were good, just a different synergy of people that makes it a little bit different.

'in the bus, heading to Bandung'

Anyway, we stayed over at a “back to nature” hotel down at Lembang. A few small huts circling a lake, that’s where all of us stayed. When we arrived, we were gathered down at the hotel’s restaurant together with a Sundanese song straining over the air.

'where everyone gather to check in for the room'

The cold breeze with the sun shining so brightly, I can feel all the Goosebumps running through my hand. Oh how I wished we were served with Sayur Asem and Fried Gurame T-T. The placed, is well known for its best restaurant in town, so I guess we would be surrounded by all the good food throughout our stay :P After gathering we were to continue our activities with the first game plan.

'before games photo'

'introducing the commander'

'straight to the first game, this is when we got punished'

'team cheers, for a greater bond'

After a game, the clock was already lunch time, so we head up to our room, put our bags, change to shorts (cause we were going to play sports activities) and gather again in the open field just besides the restaurant for the second game option.

'on the way to the rooms, it was such a beautiful sunny day'

'on the pathway to the room, yes we have to go by the bridge to enter the room :D'

'outside our room'

'continue to the next game (blowing balloon till burst to collect the clue inside'

'next preparation of the thrilling yet funnest game'

'everybody ready. personnel,checked! weapon, checked!'

'my God be with us'

'bbBbbbrrrrr....'

We played till sunset, next is the best part that all of us have been waiting.

'before the next programme, it's dinner time!'

We were divided into groups and each group was supposed to perform with the theme of being positive.

'some of the performers, ready and all dressed up accordingly'

'a glimpse of the glamorous life'

'after the show, all of our noses were red due to the sun burnt'

Everybody was so supportive and creative. No one has the same idea as each other, so it was really a good show throughout the night which accompanies by a home band and closed by a bonfire and “dangdutan”

'closing ceremony'

'dancing all night long around the heat of the cold night'

'next day, committee arranging for door prizes'

'everybody got one, mine was an electric fan (not bad, eh!)'

GREAT GREAT GREAT! It was too short stay :( I wished it would be a couple more days together :P Fun!

Peace Out!

'us together again'

It’s been so long since “Peace” (this is the name of our group since we were so eager to make our own girl band back then :P) went out together again. We used to go out almost every week when we were still in Sing. Since then, everybody was moving across the world, we haven’t had the time really together all 4 of us again. Today, we were out. It’s not planned it just happen. Too bad the youngest of the cast had to go off first to meet up with her friend and we haven’t taken a picture. Anyway it was just a simple Saturday out to the movie, eating and drinking and gossiping and laughing about everything we talked about. Oh how I miss those days. Now everybody is busy dealing with their own life. Not too worries, I’m sure there will be next trip together. Just finger crossed. :D

'damn expensive dinner, make us go ga ga'

'symptom of craziness'

'before heading back home, greeting for the upcoming new year:D'

The New President

No no.... it's not OBAMA. It’s the inauguration of the Office new President Director hehehe. Yes, after years of working in the industry, our "Babe" stepped down today, and replaced by her daughter. Nobody knew that this occasion going to happen today. We were only asked the day before to wear white and jeans today. But what are the uniform purposes is all about? Have totally no clue about it. Anyway, it was just a small gathering between colleagues and stations and the family of course. Congratulation Madame President. Hope for a better future ahead :D

'being surprised after coming out of her room'

'a speech by the former and the new Presdir'

'us in the middle of everything'
