MY BEST

This posting is dedicated for my dear best friend, Gaby Nurmatami :)

I don't know how to describe her hahha. We go a long way back, we've been bestfriends since junior highschool, about 10 years ago, I think? She's my other half, soulmate, whatever you call it.

Dia dulu temen sebangku gw di kelas 2, that's where our story begins!hihi 

She's funny, bizarre, loyal, she just..gets me :)

I'm bad with birthdays and anniversaries, bad like really really BAD. Bukannya lupa, I have no idea orang2 sekitar gw ulangtahun kapan hahaha kemaren nyokap aja sempet ngambek gara2 gw lupa ulangtahun dia, tapi gw yakin setengah mati gw ga akan lupa ultah Gbonk.hahaha she's crazy, dia nulis angka 8 11 dimana2 selama setahun PENUH!she likes to doodle EVERYWHERE, dan biasanya yang dia tulis ya cuma itu, 8 11. Makanya gw selalu inget kalau ulangtahun dia 8 November. Sumpah demi allah, dia satu-satunya orang selain family yang gw apal di luar kepala tanggal ulangtahunnya haha

The best word to describe her: EASY.

She makes my life easy, and she's just...easy. hahahhaa

I told you i took internship at Shell for 5 months, last Feb-June 2012, that time was....hard.

I have to adapt a LOT, at work, at house. Gw udah biasa di kos pulang pagi, kemana-mana suka-suka gw, nggak ada yang namanya harus izin atau apapun, terus tiba-tiba harus balik ke rumah dengan bokap yang emang suka galak ga penting. I remember I had the worst relationship with my family at that time, we can't even have one single nice conversation back then.

And she's there, to help me. Udah nggak keitung berapa ratus kali dia jemput gw di talavera atau kita janjian dinner di citos. That 5 months was crazy, we hang out almost everyday, weekdays and weekends, tiaphari gw balik jam 11-12 malem, dan besoknya jam stengah 6 pagi udah siap2 ke kantor lagi haha It was a lot of fun. Gbonk lagi break, ga jelas sama masa depannya hahaha Dia waktu itu udah lulus, tapi masih bingung mau lanjutin S2 atau kerja, so she's free. Gw cuma bbm "Lg apa bonk?" biasanya dijawab "Baru bangun tidur" "Nggak ngapa-ngapain" "Dikamar nonton series" klo gw ajak jalan dia lgsg blg "Oke" tanpa mikir apapun hahha Kita emang suka makan dimana, cuma buat ngobrol aja sebenernya. Most of the time it was only 2 of us, and I never get bored of her, not even once. You know when you feel down, and feel like you're nothing, I just need to talk to her and she'll boost up my mood. Comforting me, saying all nicest thing about me, I don't care if that's only a shit talk and she just made it up to make me feel okay, the only thing matters is she says that and I believe her, and it makes everything's okay again :) 

So I was there, dari pertama kali dia mutusin buat les bahasa inggris, cari tempat kuliah, dan akhirnya berangkat ke Belanda. Dia bahkan ambil les sore, jadi malemnya bisa tetep jalan sama gw haha Gw inget banget dia les deket PIM, dan tebengan gw lg dinas ke luar kota, jadi selama seminggu penuh itu gw tiap sore ke PIM nunggu dia selesai les terus nebeng pulang hehehe

I know she's always have that dream, to study abroad, even to live abroad. And I know she can make it come true. Makanya waktu dia lulus gw beliin dia buku about euro trip, I had a good intuition right? ;)

Dia les, tes ielts, LIHAT HASIL IELTS, dia ambil hasilnya, dan nyusul gw yang lagi lunch di citos sama anak2 kantor, dan kita berdua pergi ke burger king buat lihat hasil IELTS dia, I won't lie, waktu itu kalau dia gagal dan ga bisa menuhin required score dia kepaksa batal kuliah di luar dan bakal kerja disini, sambil deg2an setengah mati, berasa itu IELTS gw sendiri, untuk sepersekian detik gw sempet ngarep supaya dia failed, so she doesn't have to leave me, egois ya :( But I can't be more happy waktu liat dia dapet angka yang bahkan ngelebihin required score, she has the best score in her class if I'm not mistaken!My atta girl!

Setelah gw selesai internship, kita sepakat mau liburan bareng, 3 of us, with Inda, my other best best friend :)

Tadinya mau ke Lombok, but end up at Bali. It was REAL FUN, our holiday is a hardwork, pergi dari sini ke sini ke sana, haha tired, but fun. We talked about our history, jaman SMP sih yang gw inget, gw yang emang pelupa banget doesn't remember a single thing, mereka yang bilang gimana gw pas SMP, it's too funny!we had a good laugh from it! That's the best thing you have from a really long friendship, you have ZILLION memories and stories together!
I'm just glad we had that holiday before the future coming true. Sekarang Gbonk di Belanda, Inda udah kerja di hotel yang emang dia pengen banget, dan gw bakal masuk tanggal 3 Sept besok di Standard Chartered, and yeah Gbonk has a lot of contribution about my decision to finally work there :)

Udah beberapa hari ini, nope I think about two weeks, gw ga pernah nyentuh hp, emang tadinya gw males aja. Cuma biasanya ga bakal selama ini, biasanya dia yang pertama kali marah2 kenapa gw nggak bisa dihubungin, nelfon ke rumah (gw rasa cuma dia sama Inda yg tau nomer rumah gw, gw aja nggak pernah gunain sama sekali haha), kalau gw tetep nggak bisa dihubungin juga, dia bakal nelfon ke hp nyokap atau bokap gw, strong will ya!haha I'm a loner, in a way, I just need to have my 'alone' time, doing nothing, biasanya sih nyerah kalau udah diajak Gbonk pergi, gw jaraaaaaang banget bisa nolak ajakan dia haha

If I have the worst time, meet and talk to her is always the best way to brighten up my mood. I think she knows all my secrets, even the darkest one. Nomer hp dia yang paling gw apal di luar kepaa, so if something bad happen to me, she's always the first one who knows. Dari gw hampir meninggal kecelakaan mobil sehari sebelum wisuda smp, brokenhearted, everything.

I'm sure she knows 100% about me, and she's really good with details! Dia bahkan apal semua mantan gw, sesuai pula urutannya!gw bahkan suka skip!haha

I'm a romantic, I love giving things and preparing events for my closest ones. Cuma kayaknya yang paling gw niat bikin surprise ya Gbonk juga, I wrote '100 things I Love about Gbonk' gw nulis di kereta and it was easyy, I finished it in no time!hihi

Small things sih, kayak kmrn ternyata tanggal sidang dan tanggal berangkat dia ke Belanda di tanggal yang sama, jadi gw selesai sidang, untungnya lulus haha, sore terus lgsg catch a flight ke jakarta, nyampe skitar jam 10 malem dan langsung nyamperin dia yang ada di terminal lain, she really surprised hihi

On my way home, dia udah masuk buat chck-in and all that flight thingy, dia bbm saying thankyou and how much it means to her to see my face before she goes to Netherland :)

I cried a lot today bcause of her!hihi I think the ultimate reason why I don't want to use my phone is..I'm not ready to hang out with my friends. I know it feels weird, but we hang out almost everyday, we have the same circle from junior-high school, jadi kita hang out dengan orang yg sama, dan biasanya emang selalu ada dia, bahkan gw sering jb buat ikut main sama temen2 kampusnya hehe

I think it's gonna weird to hang, laugh, tell stories without her. Tau kan gimana saking seringnya lo ada sama dia, jadi tiap lo ngomong sesuatu atau orang ngomong sesuatu and we laugh about it, biasanya gw refleks liat dia ketawa juga atau gimana, it sounds cheesy, but it became my habit. So I think I'm just gonna lay low until I feel really okay.

Tadi gw ke kantor, di Kuningan, gw inget banget waktu itu pernah nyasar karena bapak2 taksinya ga ngerti daerah Kuningan, dan dia sabar banget nerangin gw gimana cara yang bener buat nemuin jalan yg bener, with my brain's capacity like me, belive me it wasn't easy haha 

I haven't contact her like 2 weeks, I think it's exactly 2 weeks since she went there, I mean of course we talk, twitter or something short, bukan ngobrol lama atau apa. Cuma karena hari ini gw udah instal whatsapp buat dia, walaupun karena timezone yg beda juga jadi agak2 lama buat dia bales, but we FINALLY TALK, it's a looooong conversation, about 3-4hours long I think, it's nice to finally catch up with her :)

I have this list, my wish list on 2012, she's the only one who knows about it, the things in it.

Go to europe to visit her is in that list, maybe this year or next year, but I'll try hard to fulfill it.

She's happy there, so it makes me happy too :)

I'm thinking something to surprise her, I got the rough idea, and I hope it'll work! :) :)
