Duh, lately I dun hef that much desire to post. Hehe. My work's been busy and steady though, not too hectic, not too relax. If u c the post heading, this last weeks I've been catching up wif couple friends from the history of a Melissa's life. Caela! N I can't think of how great Frienster is by connecting people around (beside onf of its biggest advantage: it costs nothing!). Thank u Mr. Friendster! Glad that u do exists nowadays.U might dunno, but along my childhood until now I've been moving around places; houses, schools, and countries. I can't remember much about my first playgroup skul (dat when I was 3 n I think I spend only a year there). And my vision about my past's getting clearer since I got into the Kindergaten in Strada. It's a private Catholic schul, very close to where I used to live in Komplek Kompas. U wonder wats wif my house area name, yesh, my dad works in Kompas - Gramedia. Then I moved to another schul (this time it was much further), SMP Regina Pacis for 3 years. I also used to went to a piano course in Yamaha Music Indonesia from when I was 4 up to 15 yo. And during my 3 years junior high, I went to an English Course class in EEC. Going to senior high, I, then moved to Adelaide (South Australia). Met lots of new friends and a new life too. By the time I moved to Adelaide, my family got moved to another house, another area in Jakarta, mayan jau dari the old house. So I didn't really get a chance to say proper goodbyes n shed any tears. Dooo.. mang harus ya nangis2an??? From Adelaide then here I am in Perth. Dunno where live's gonna take me next.
And skrng I'm so much excited I'm that I'm an official member of Friendster. Hahaha. Kayanya everyone is gitu lo!! N it's like an impossible/miracle things in life happen to me: meeting lost, old, forgotten friends. Don't u guys too? Here, I'll share with u some of them.
Lintang. She's formally my first friend. She was a my next block neighbour then we went to the same kindergaten n elementary schul for about... 8 years. We used to play to each other's house and we share out first days of school together. I remember that her mom cooked the best brownies ever! And she's got a young maid who her hands got bruises bcoz I loved pinching her. Hahaha. So now u guys know that, my pinching habit is like since I when I was ever existed in this world. Waktu Tk, I and her was bestfriends. We used to have our biggest enemy called Joanna and we hated her so much. And u know wats so cheesy? We love reporting bad kids to teachers!!! Hahahaha. We got up to the front of the teacher.. counted 1..2..3, then we say it together in tones as in, "BU GURU, ADA YANG NAKAL... NAMANYA...". Hahahahaha. Padahal oh padahal... I was also such a cheeky girl back then. One time I remember, it was a break time and I hef prepared myself to run after the swing (ayunan).. but the time I got there, someone else was there (one of the naughties boy, can't remember his name). Feeling powerless, I called another boy, to help me out... hitting that poor boy! And satisfaction ally, we (I tepatnya), won the swing
! Ouw, that very good (boy) friend of mine, who would bitten up another boy just for me (how sweet is that *not!*) called Jeffry. Dunno he remembers or not ya. Yea then that bitten boy reported Jeffry to the teacher bu Agnes (I can still clearly remember the whole scene), and angelic little Jeffry just simply said, he was ordered by me. Hahaha. Thanks. Now, both Lintang and Jeffry I met again after kurang lebih 10 years we didn't know each other existance. Lintang is now doing her degree in Sastra Inggris FIB UI. Ngga nyangka, Lintang yang 10 years ago is now doing English poetic. 
Eggy. Yesh this girl is also one of my very first friend in my life. One of my memory about her is, she used to seat next to me in year 1 (dat's kelas 1SD) in the back(est) row. And I think it was our first test 
ever when the teacher Bu Tuti thought that we cheat and we got 0 for that test. Padahal.. at that time pun I didn't even know wat is the word 'nyontek'. Lol. Addition, she's also my first friend learning English, and also swimming.
Jessica. This one is a little weird. Lol, I mean the way we met.. it's a long story. She used to be my next block neighbour as well, but we got close only in the last 3 years before I moved to Adelaide. She used to come over to my house.. and trading our sticker collections. This is sekilas my testimonial about her:"Yesh!! Let me the first writting u a testimunial^^. Jess.. temen masa kecil waktu kita semua masi imut sekali gitu. Tetangga belakang rumah yg setia maen ke rumahku *(^_^)/. Identik dgn sepeda roda 2nya, sendal jepit swallow yg setia menemaninya, les renangnya (yg kalo ga salah 2x seminggu?), anjing2nya, opa tercintanya, adenya Jerry yg kecil imut2 (n katanya skrng uda gede bgt!).. n koleksi stickernya!! Hehehe. I still hef those sticker collection books lo.. do u? ..."
N this is wat Jess wrote about me
"Mel, setelah gua liat beberapa testi lu da temen2 u, kayanya "sifat galak" lu masih tetep ada juga. hehehe...Kalo galak, sih ga usah ditanya.. dulu
waktu msh tinggal di Kompleks Kompas, kalo mo ngajak maen aja musti brantem dulu. milih mo maen di rmh sapa. hehehe...melisa yang gesit, lincah, asik, lucu, ilang gitu aja ga tau kmn..."
And thank u to Jess, she updated me with lots and lots of things happening in my childhood home area, other neighbours... as well as all the tukang jualan langganan dulu... "somaayyyyyyyyyyyyy!!" And tukang somay itu katanya masih ada.. only he now sells each @Rp. 1250, back then only @Rp. 200!
I met a lot of my childhood friends in Friendster, and each of them bring sweet remembrance to me. Pengennya semua gw certain.. tapi oh tapi.. *isi sendiri*. When I look back to my time back then when I was little, and seeing my life right now. Sometime u dun feel it that time does move on, in a light speed. When a boyfriend used to be annoying things that your friends make fun of u.. now everyone's getting really serious about boyfriends.. and marriage! It's really amazing that along my 22 years life (What?
I'm 22?!?!), I have gone thru many things in life, by chance and circumstances, meet and know people, who then without I even realize, they become so called friends. They come and go as we also come and go to other people's life. Unconsciously, they leaving us with so called memories which is ONLY then u realize when they're all past thru. I mean, I didn't really realize and value friends who used to come and play at my house. But when everything's in the past, I do now can see the preciousness of every (little/usual/nothing special) moments. When I sometime open the book that I used to pass around my friends for them to fill in, the repetious sentence of "Always remember me", "Friends Forvever", or such kinds didn't really mean anything back then. But then I'm wondering, do they even remember that they did write that for me and right now they still do still remember me? Or did I remember that I once wrote that sentence in someone else's book and I do remember them? Lol, it's really funny sometime we as little kids we dun even know what we say, wat we write. Familiar ngga dengan kata2 berikut ini..Cita2 : Belum terpikirkan tuh
Kata Mutiara: Ambil aja di laut.. or yg paling popular jaman gue dulu "Be Yourself". Doe kalo ditanya maksudnya apa juga bengong. Gaya lo ah.
Duh, kita dulu ternyata anak kecil yg ga tau apa2 tapi gaya banget ngga siy?? Hahaha
Oh well, I'm really glad after years I can again see wats my friends from the past doing. Each of them become their very own, different to wat I used to remember. It's funny when I think that we started from the same point (one kindergarten), but time brings each of us to very different things in life. As for me... people might also never had in their mind before wat will I be… when I'm grown up (I guess I can be called as a grown up now huh?) I used to say to people, I wanted to be and astronaut. Why? It's the story book fault!
Hehehe. But, hey people.. I end up becoming a computer programmer now!!So this time I wanna thank u, people, friends who I've met along my way, who probably often I dun really notice u as friends... but you(s) are. Thank you for putting so many colours in my life.
