Me and Ninit is doing fine. We are still staying in the hotel because there is a problem with the contract with the apartment. We're sorting it out next week and hipefully we'll move in as soon as possible. Agak sedikit BT juga dengan kinerja orang2 administrasi di kantor krn mereka selalu butuh di push and press to get everything done.

Adit mulai BT juga tinggal di hotel krn meski hanya berjarak 400 meter dari kantor, setiap hari, and i mean every fucking day, there's always preman malakin adit untuk rokok. emang salah adit dari pertama dulu pas mereka minta adit kasih. lama2 mereka minta setiap hari. I had to take another route to get home (go around the block) but they noticed, unfortunately. Kemaen ada yang minta rokok dan minta sesuatu lagi, kayaknya uang, tapi gak adit kasih. alo iya, whaaa bisa bencana.

I also developed an allergy which is strange coz I dont think I ever had one. Adit tiap saat gatel2. tadinya adit kira krnmandi gak bersih atau gimaa, tapi ninit gak ketularan. adit coba mandi berendam pake dettol, consumming three times as much as the allowable dose. This, apparently, turned out to be LETHAL coz I think I burnt my penis.

and gatel2nya masih ada, so the current hypothesis is that, I have an allergy....and now, a burnt penis as well.

Ninit is also beginning to wonder mengapa setiap kali sholat Adit cuman bisa qulhu dan ina a'toina, which is embarassing so she wants me to memorize other surat2. Being married certainly need us to be immam as well. heheheh It takes time and I will be a good immam.

So how's everything going in JKT? any international sclae incident? national scale disaster? Just remember, IT WASN'T ME! heheheheheh...

dapet kabar dari gagas Media bahwa Jomblo cetakan keempat, stoknya sudah hampir habis, which is good news, tapi kita belum mutusin apakah sudah cukup kritis untuk bikin cetakan kelima. We'll see, hope so lah ya. You see, the difficult thing about marketing the book is that in indonesia, buku itu masih membutuhkan sosok pengarang untuk dekat dengannya, which I'm not. Kalo kayak gini, nafas buku bisa pendek. I was lucky enough to be in a condition where cetaklan ketiga dan keempat masih terjadi meski saya udah pindah ke afrika.

So, I don't know....we'll see, hope there will be a fitfh print.

Adit juga mau ngucapin makasih ke papah mamah atas kepengurusan nikahan kemaren. I didnt take much part in it, sorry, I was in africa. But I want u to know, that I love u both and I am really grateful for the wedding and the cost and stuff. Thank you, that was one big wedding hey? Kata bapaknya ninit, sampe skg kenalan2 mereka masih ngebahas loh.

anyway ttg telpon.
1. telecel (nomor lokal di sini) gak bisa kirim sms ke luar negeri. Hanya bisa ke nomor2 mentari dan itu juga dengan kondisi, mereka gak bisa bales ke saya. Mereka harus bales ke nomor ninit +62816624477.

2. My telkomsel number, is not working at all. Padahal di singapur dan di paris jalan. Jadinya saya hilang kontak dengan semua network saya di jkt, which sucks, krn saya butuh komunikasi dengan mereka, terutama orang2 sineas dan sastra.

3. The only reachable number by sms is matrixnya ninit: +62816624477. pls send sms there ya. btw, saya bbrp kali kirim sms ke papah mamah tapi kok gak pernah dibales ya?

gimana kabarnya nayla? mamah? kakak dan mas fuad?

semoga semua baik2 aja ya. Guess what...I adit skg lagi nulis buku, tapi krn gak nyaman I eneded up having 7 2nd book. Bikin sampe bab 4, trus adit tinggalin krn gak bagus untuk dilanjutin. Am really looking forward to settle down so that i can start to write.

About ninit. atasan adit tyt adl sobatnya petinggi di dhl
'what did your wife do?'
'she was a sales support in dhl.'
'really? can u give me her CV? because we are really close to their top management.'

whaaaa.......asik banget. adit dan ninit sepakat untuk ninit belajar prancis dulu dan abis itu nyari kerja di dhl sini.

udah aja segini dulu, Ive been feeling guilty stealing office time heheheh. salam ke mamah, pls print this letter fopr her to read.

and yes, i still have a burnt penis.

UPDATE:
Dear Dad,

everyone's making fun of my penis....burnt penis...that is. What5 sld I do? I have to be politically correct here. I mean I can't be offended just because of a penis (although it does NOT belong to public, like buses or bajajs). I cant just say
'Oh look, Captain Winky is badly burnt, guys...please sit down and discuss.

:):):):):)
