Turns out, there are other applicants. And I took part in interviewing them last Thursday.
The first one was blah. All I remember from interviewing her was that I said "standar" to my boss when she left the room, and nothing else.
The second one, in my opinion, is the best candidate so far. She used to write for Hai's suplementary Koran SMA. And god knows how my boss is head over heels in love with Hai. She's easy, in terms of, she doesn't mind leaving her classes for work, nor does she mind coming in on weekend to work.
The third girl was... Well, I don't think she can be called a girl. She's about 27, and she already has one child. I think she was too loud, and her appearance was way too tacky for an interview. She might be good in getting the dirt from the local artists, though.
The last one, had the most attractive appearance. By attractive, I mean, she would fit right in among those ABG-ABG PIM. Music and fashion wise, I got the impression that she was an up-to-date person. Not forward, but enough. But she had a difficult time in finishing a sentence. Very, very lenjeh. Ketiup-angin-langsung-terbang kind of girl.
So there you go. Which one do you think is the right one for my replacement? Of course, they're no me...
...Oh, just humor me. I'm about to lose my job.

About lately.
- I can't believe it's easier to see people from out of town, than people who live 10-30 minutes away from me...
- Try wearing kebaya and kain--with a supertight bustier that only enables you to sit in one position, straight up--and try driving as fast as you can through saturday night's traffic. I did. And I must say, as a woman, I never felt so empowered before.
- Currently trying to compile some of my doodlings for the book plan. Crossing fingers, amen, amen, amen!
-Talking about plans, I'll be an unemployment in about 2 days or so. I need to have some plans! Anybody knows where I can rent a decent car with the lowest price?
- Anybody knows where I can get some info about master degree scholarship in New York?
- And FYI, I'll be as easy as cheap hookers soon. So, anyone wants to get together (to hang out, of course), call me. And if anyone has any job offering (aside from hookering, that is), call me.

*Where's the first time you hear the song number 9?
I think in Ped's car, since she has the CD.
*What do you feel when you hear song number 4?
Heartbroken.
*You'll give number 14 for?
Old friends I run into.
*You'll hear number 10 when you feel so........Melancholily bottled up. "fade into you, i think it's strange you never knew".
*Do you like the singer number 2?
I like the bass player even better!
*Who will you dance with while you hear number 3?
Young John Taylor. Hahah, with semi-mullet, ruffled collar and shoulder pads. That or someone who knows or is able to sing the song ;)
*Your fav lyrics of song number 1?
"Believe in me as I believe in you tonight"
*Do you listen song number 7 when you're broken heart?
No. But maybe when I'm in need of some mood-boosting.
*Miss number 5?
No, 'cos "the truth is I miss YOU".
*Who will you remember if you hear number 8?
You, naturally. Since I'm thinking about you.
*What's the unique side of number 12?
Its lyrics. I don't really get it, it might be about some afterlife (or the lack of it). But listen to the words, and tell me it's not magical and beautiful.
*If someone sings number 15 to you?
If this someone is Billy Crudup or Dave Grohl, well then, hello! But if the someone is Elton John himself, then, thanks but no thanks.
*Number 6 makes you happy?
Sometimes. Because the song is kinda upbeat. It actually makes me go aww.
*Why'd you love number 13?
Because it's Thom Yorke singing genuine Radiohead's mournful tunes about "the emptiest of feelings" and "disappointed people" called Let Down. I mean, you can't get any more depressive than this. Nice.
*If a street musician sings number 11?
Wondering why he/she still stays on the street.

when i say out loud i want to get out of this, i wonder, is there anything i'm going to miss
Yesterday, I saw a girl. About my age. Nothing unusual, jeans, tee, and cardi if I'm not mistaken. And aside from her bag, the only thing she carried was a big brown envelope. She was passing me, S, and another guy from the artistic on her way in. She had that fearful-slash-jittery look. You know, like she couldn't bring herself to look directly at us, so instead she tried her best to nail her eyes to her shoes. She went in for like 30 seconds, came back out again, and the envelope had gone.
S and I looked and smirked at each other. And almost simultaneously said "my (/your) replacement". And sighed.
My prejudgement about the girl? As Phoebe Buffay might say, I think she's "vanilla". I wonder what the other applicants look like. I wonder if there's any other applicant.
