This day two years ago, I was missing my long hair like crazy. Now here I am, feeling almost the same like I was that day. I miss my long hair among other things. It's not as dreadful as it used to be, though. My hair now is okay.
Anyway. About the "other things", here goes,
I miss having more cousins/aunts in the house, I miss the canceled TV series Wonderfalls, I miss going swimming, I miss going to the beach, I miss my thinner figure (although I prefer my butt now. Haha), I miss wearing my now-broken-sunglasses, I miss Dermaga Foodcourt, I miss doing choreographed dances (yuh-huh, I was a cheerleader, sue me) and I miss getting paid for it, I miss hosting new year's eve's get-togethers (although I don't know how I could pull off the hosting-thing back then without being all high-strung like Ross did when he found out about Rachel and Joey), I miss PE class, I miss having to wake up unreasonably early in the morning to go to school/campus (nyeh, the last two fall under BENCI TAPI RINDU category), I miss when days like these were called "libur", I miss seeing people whom I used to see often, and I very much miss one of them, one third of the best of all.
Something can be fixed by washing your hair every single day, and another is just plainly heartbreaking.

before you go, can you read my mind?
Highs, lows, and inbetweens of 2006
1. Kings of Convenience's showcase in Bandung.
2. Meeting Erland Oye in some random warung that same night.
3. Bandung tektok trip with geng and ngong to see Ingga. Jackpot, huh?
4. A childhood sweetheart came and went. Twice.
5. Had a bried but dreadful dilemma about graduating.
6. Rozelle went official with Yudo. This girl really lives in a fast lane soap opera, I tell you.
7. Batu Karas trip with Ped, Ngun, Ngga.
8. Long awaited Pesta Liburan with my cousins.
9. Midyear holiday, when I got to see Ocha and Yoyok and people.
10. Submitted an application to be one of the 5 Takes' five TJs, and ended up feeling too lazy to submit the second video application.
11. Got Shan Michael Evans to make an illustration for my writing.
12. Getting better in turning lights off, therefore the case of missing zsazsazsu often occured.
13. Enrolled in some driving school.
14. Driver's lisence.
15. Missed Coldplay's gig in Singapore.
16. Went to Bandung alone for the first time.
17. Went to Seaworld after years and years. Then watched INXS at the Soundrenaline.
18. Graduating from English Lit. UI.
19. Graduation party at my house.
20. Tagged along the Dutch kids to their 2006 initiation.
21. Went to Disney's Lantern Fantasy with Chici.
22. Resigned from my job at Chrysolit.
23. Formed a geng jualan with Bun, Ped, Ngun. Plus jualan 2 hari di bazar Warung Baba.
24. Reunion with kids from 2A.
25. Had my long hair cut into a short bob.
26. Birthday season with the 11th of November as the cherry on top.
27. Singapore-Malaysia trip with Ped and her family. The beginning of my bankruptcy.
28. Petang Kreatif 2006. Maybe my last planned-visit to campus.
29. Had a brief reunion with Ardini, a friend from junior high.
30. Got interviewed for a reporter job in Media Indonesia. Still crossing fingers and toes.
31. One temukangen, one Nandia's farewell dinner, and one pre-Christmas dinner with people from English dept 2002.
32. Drove alone to Citos for the first time.
33. Applied to Music City FM as the on-air staff only to be called back to try out for the announcer job. Lost cause from the beginning.
...I can't think of anything else. Nyeh, quiet and numbing year.
As for closure, I had a quiet but nice NY's eve at Ped's with Bun and Sya. Watching Star Wars episode III, eating like there's no tomorrow, playing with the sparklers and fireworks... Rozelle stopped by for a few blinks of an eye. So, tears from the NYE before didn't come back. But something has been nagging me since though. Let's just say, I'm pulling a Joey to someone's Ross and Emily.
The great thing this time is, I had a second new year's celebration. Ped, Bun, Sya and I went to Bandung on the 2nd, stayed at this nice hotel called Puri Larasati for two nights, and spent some QT with Ingga and Ebonk. Aside from my feeling like death was the next thing for me, it was fun. I didn't want to go home.
However, I'm home now. And I just want to say, I love my friends (they're the only ones that keep my inside reeling besides shopping these days). And I hope they'll always be around for the next new year and new years to come. As for the rest of the world,
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2007!!!
