Rainy Day

I never like rainy day… for me the atmosphere of the gloomy affect me too much and it ruins my mood for the day.
So yesterday was a rainy day… I wasn’t having a good day…
It was started with a cold rainy day, I really don’t want leave my bed. Next thing I know, it was 9:03 already. I was really late to work (supposed to start at 9:00), so I called the office and lied. By the time I got in to the office it was almost 9:40, even I was kinda amazed how fast I get there but still, I was very very late. My day wasn’t really going smoothly. It was a direct deposit day, and I have date line to do all my work but some stuff was not done correctly and some information was missing. Beside that, my mood is still hanging on the dark, I feel grouchy and mellow at the same time. Luckily almost the end of the day my mood was better just like my sky was less cloudy and brighter.

Tribute for a friend

So… Gueh n temen2 pada cabut ke Lake Havasu, AZ. We rent a van, cabin and a boat. There were a dozen of us for 2 days and 2 nights!! This trip is actually di organize for Patsy farewell, secara dia bakal balik ke indo for good. Patsy sendiri yang spread the word of wish to spend someday with us in a road trip. Secara there were a dozen of us, the house is never quite, selalu ada ajah yang berkoar. Entah yang berkoar ngecein satu sama laen, ngakak ngga jelas, ngotot alias adu otot tenggorokan, tereak sinis, sampe ngorok (nothing physical, except the fact that Meg2 dicabuli oleh 3 guys and 1 girl…).
But the actual fun was started on the first night. We played kartu tepokan. Bukan sembarang tepokan, because beberapa yang ikut maen udah ngga sober alias liquified. Secara otak pada lemah, gueh ngga that behind in this game. Para pemain semuanya tereak2 sampe serak. Gueh bayangin mereka yang maein setengah sadar… mata udah liat tapi nerves di dalem badannya pada lari2 sempoyongan buat sampein pesen. Dari mata ke otak, otak ke otot, otot ke tangan… That is a long process. So pemenang (dari belakang) di tahbiskan mahkota terhina terbuat dari rami… Congrats to Ronald n Parlin!! Terbukti mereka yang paling ter-liquified…
The next morning (jam 10an), gueh terbangun dengan aroma breakfast yang merayu perut. Scramble egg rasanya nikmat… truss we go to the next destination… Boat rental!! Bukan ke Lake namanya kalo ngga nikmatin olah raga airnya… We rent a big boat yang enough for 12 of us. Laporan cuaca, mendukung. Ngga mendung bahkan silo’. Anget bgt, emang perjalanan kita terasa direstuin bgt deh ma alam. Once we get in to the boat, the real party started. First we jumped in to the middle of the lake… mengerikan… but it was really nice, the water is chill but not as cold as the beaches are… Surprisingly everybody even Patrick jump!! Note: Patrick can’t swim. Then we played “tarik ban pake boat.” Ngga nyangka ternyata maenan yang keliatannya lame abis, actually caused an adrenalin rush juga. Abis gueh naek ban yang ditarik boat dengan kecepatan angin, walhasil pas balik naek boat kaki gueh lemez n gemeter geli2. Serasa nahan kencing tp ngga kesampean, dengkul ngilu2 ngegemesin… Bawaan diri maunya tereak “STOP” tp penasaran keenakan juga… *apa sih?* Pokoknya seru abis!! Ahhh… jadi kepengen lagih… Secara maennya kudu ganti2an jadinya we spent the whole day there. Diselingin sama ambil topi rami gueh yang terbang 3x, ambil nicky yang ambilin topi gueh, poto2 non-stop, truss kaki alex pelitek, Ronald & Nicky ketinggalan perahu…
The fun is not ended, yet! Kali ini we liquefied with nice wine. Akibatnya? muka, badan, kuping, sampe pantat panas. Hasilnya? Megi dinodai saat tidur rame2!! Sori yach Meg, abis loe sasaran empuk bgt… beneran empuk… ngga bohong kok gueh… Empuk!! Truss dinodai pula dengan kentut sayang si Patrick!!
Following day, adalah hari terakhir kita. Basically kudu ngepak n siap2 balik ke reality. Breakfast indah dua butir telor mata sapi disisain buat gueh yang telat bangun. Plus disusul sama mi goreng… perjalanan ini beneran diberkatin makanan n minuman tanpa henti, Indah lah… before we actually left the lake we took pictures at the infamous London Bridge!! Jadi ceritanya bridge yang ada di Laka Havasu itu originally was from London!! Jauh ajeh… mikirnya ajah udah males, kepikir yang mindahinnya? Dude, it wasn’t like u grab the whole bridge, put it in to the boat or plane, then put it back!! Daya khayal kudu lebih realistis bung!! Eniwe, the bridge is there, sit nice and pretty.
Next destination before home is the Ghost Town!! Well the name say it all, it’s preety much no live there… kinda creepy but nice… nothing much going on there, all we did was taking pictures…
The very next day I woke up, I was kinda expecting I still be able to see the clear blue sky, and rock on the boat as the water sings me lullaby… Nope, I woke up in reality, in my room and choko yang garuk2 batok kepala gueh…

The hardest part you have to deal with vacation is realizing it’s over…
