Si Pemalas

Akhir-akhir ini aku merasa pantas digelari si pemalas!

Saking malasnya, ada banyak item dan detail pekerjaan juga item personal yang seharusnya kukerjakan tapi tidak tersentuh sama sekali. Selalu saja ada hal-hal lain yang kukerjakan yang tidak ada kaitannya dan tak berpengaruh sama sekali pada penyelesaian pekerjaan yang sebenarnya makin lama makin menumpuk.

Otakku berkata kalau aku butuh liburan yang refreshing. Sayangnya mau ke Bali, sebentar lagi mess di sana mau ditutup karena setelah dua tahun berturut-turut akhirnya bossku memutuskan untuk tidak lagi mengambil project di Bali dan Nusra. Perhatiannya sekarang tertuju ke Pulau Sulawesi.

Lalu tiap hari aku mengkhayal mencoba teknik pencahayaan -- yang sialnya aku tak punya cukup gears untuk melakukannya. Tapi tetap saja tahap mengkhayal ini selalu memakan waktu yang lebih lama dibanding waktu yang kubutuhkan untuk membalas e-mail kantor dan melakukan panggilan kerja.

Aku mungkin bukan pemalas. Hanya kurang termotivasi. Apalagi cuaca akhir-akhir ini membuatku makin merasa tak enak badan. Harus waspada nih.

Yikes! Not Me???

My boss just told me that the project that I mention in earlier post will be handled by my collague and not by me.

That news make me sad. Another traveling opportunity lost. Oh, my mistake: another paid-for traveling opportunity lost.

It's not that I dislike staying here where I am now, because there are a lot of friends yet to be made here in the capital but the chance to see new things, experience various cultures, making new network sure worth something worth the time and effort.

But hey, someone has to do the technical documentation work, right?

I just wish it doesn't have to be me.

Finally, A GO! Project

Thank God.

Now there's actually a sense of activity for our much dormant project in eastern Indonesia. For a few months the team was called to main office and we saw a lot of idling around. That sure make for low moral. That's when a small erection work in Batam really sparks interest with my men asking me whether will it be their turn to be sent to the fields again.

Which I always replied, "You just have to wait for the development."

But now that we have a green sign to go for a project, however small, bring sparks of life again. People seemed to be in a happy mood already and the spirit somewhat had a positive vibe. Well, this kind of project really make me happy because my men are doing USEFUL things (instead of sneakily went for naps) but somehow a little bit sad.

Because I would again wonder how and when will I be able to travel to sites again, just like I did a couple of years ago...

Paparazzi Or Just Typical Indonesian Male

today i encounter a photo that was uploaded here, depicting two white female sunbathing in the Jimbaran beach, Bali, while being topless.

the guy (indonesian of course!) upload the photo and named it "Paparazzi". by the time i type this sentence, only two out of seventeen people said clearly opposition and disagreement of the content in the picture.

what really disturb me is that the fact he (the uploader) told in the accompanying text that "i saw something funny so i shot it." most people said that it is. although some said that it's vulgar, they still sound their approval.

the thing is, there is nothing funny about violation of privacy.

maybe i'm being a hypocrite, but seeing that picture made me wonder, what is it with us indonesian male? what is so interesting with white (or "bule") females that attract us so much?

maybe this thing upset me because the lack of respect to women in general. why don't the guy took pictures of topless guys sunbathing? why was it because those were (white) women, it deserve some exposure?

maybe i am a hypocrite.

[UPDATE 2008-11-24] the link no longer valid because the owner/administrator deleted the picture which in turn made the culprit protest in the photo forum
