The perfect day...

Watched "Love Actually" with Rika at Djakarta Theater today. A really good movie, all that I could ever expect from a British style sarcasm romantic comedy. Best of all, this was a perfect movie to bring Rika to. I wish you all could see me smile... :D

The theater has a brand new look, more class and more studios. A new favorite place to see movies at? Definitely!

After movies and Dinner, I took Rika on a little detour. I had to visit my cousin Ivan at Remedika hospital. He is sick of Dengue fever after returning from an assignment in Lampung. My cousin Ivan is the closest cousin to me. A rising star at Bakrie's holding company, the day he got sick, the whole office panicked, even Mr. Bakrie himself. Get well soon bro!

Rika and I had an early dinner (just before we visited Ivan). We stopped at Al-Azhar's Agung Mosque and prayed Maghrib, 5 minutes before it was Isya. Haven't been here in a while. I used to go to school here when I was in Junior high.

..I sat on the steps of the mosque and put my shoes on. Rika sat beside me and she gave me that smile. Never in million year would I ever think of telling a girl how much I cared for her on the steps of a mosque... I did.

Progress Report

Checked on the grunts today, just to make sure they don't kill each other (hehehehe...). Seems a night's work have paid off, they completed the front-end of the software a day early. It's either the motivation of forced working in a group and locked in an apartment or maybe the thought of going out on valentine's day with their loved ones.

I don't care which ones, at least they are working ahead of schedule, so I'm givng them the night off tonight. :D

Along came the sunshine

Left the grunts and picked up Rika after work today. We had dinner at Pizza Hut. After days of overloaded work and stress, this is the highpoint of my week... It was raining outside, but it was sunshining here.... yup, definitely my highpoint this week. Tomorrow will be good day, hopefully a better day :-D

btw, to those who celebrate it, happy Valentine's day.

Driving her home

I was with the grunts today at Arief's apartment in Gading. I called Rika up and asked her if I could take her home today, and she said Yes. :)

We talked much on the way home, unfortunately it was only a 30 minutes commute. I wished it was longer. I just dropped her off, I don't know her enough to be invited for coffee or tea I guess. Well, there's always tomorrow.

Cooking for the Grunts

With a project underway, I had the company's programmers to spend a few nights together to finish the software coding. With 3 grunts (programmers) under one roof and none with any culinary knowledge, I had to suffice them with food to eat, so I cooked (note: it's cheaper than ordering out) for the grunts.
