do u know how young people write their sms with alien’s language? well, it took me 8 hours and 20 minutes to figure out what this sms means.

“oc q cm nt z ko mb”

translation: “ok, aku cuma bentar aza kok mbak”

Finally I left Spore after 7 months. Being idle for that long makes me worry a bit … afraid that my brain got rusted hehehehe … anyway, I was offered to do a consultancy job for the next 6 months in R4, but I am based in SOQ. Can you imagine me doing ecotourism? Well, actually that is my job now. A liaison between all stakeholders, make sure that the entrance fee system for ecotourism is run smoothly and the comm unity is actually received the benefits from this entrance fee. But of course not all stakeholders are so supportive. I have to watch my step very carefully, trying not to step on anyone’s toes. People here are much more sensitive and it is not easy to deal with. Did I tell you that one very important stakeholder was literally trying to “escape” from us? We dont know why. We were there for the meeting and this certain person knew that we were there cos one of us sms this certain person. We never met this certain person so none of us know how he looks like. Anyway, someone at the office told us that this certain person was just at the next room, but when we arrived he left. and I mean he left … to go to another island. Can you imagine the time and money we spent for this useless trip? Cos i just found out that the boat we rent to go to this meeting cost us around 300US$. And the journey back to SOQ was awful, ombak nya gede banget. dan speed nya bukan speed kantor, tp speed model tertutup yang bau bensin. aku udh tiduran aja selama perjalanan, walaupun badan kebanting2 … kalau aku bangun pasti bakal muntah deh. the minute you got out from the speedboat, you will thank GOD that you are still alive. dan sampai pulang ke rumah, dikau pasti masih ngerasa kalau dunia ini masih goyang2, belum lagi dr ujung kepala sampe ujung rambut yg bau bensin. But this is the worse scenario tho’, if the sea is calm you will have a very great journey. but I STILL LOVE RAJA AMPAT.

now, im just waiting for my turn to go snorkeling. and hopefully one of my friends is willing to teach me how to dive.

I’ve been calling the local tax office for days … morning and afternoon … and no answer … well well well what a surprise. So, I called the main office (again) and finally this “boy” answered the phone and said he could help me fill out the form. Well apparently he experienced a “nervous break down” cos he kept on saying sorry that he could not find the form or whatever paper therefore he couldn’t answer my first (yes my 1st) question. I was tired and I just told him that I’ve decided that im not gonna pay my taxes …. sigh … that was just my anger talking actually. Im amazed with indonesian government or its officials to be specific … a friend got scolded by the tax official cos she applied online to get her NPWP. Then may I ask “why the hell you have e-registration facility if you don’t want us to use it?” “WHY IS IT SO HARD TO PAY MY TAXES?” … what a strange country indonesia is …
