Funny things happen at work. My boss seems to have a crush on a goverment official who was one of the speakers of our workshop a while ago. I thought it was just a joke when she claimed to have witness the most handsome guy she's ever seen, but after several months of still bringing up the old same story, I began to take her more seriously. Maybe she really likes him. If yes, then it's a really bad luck, since he's married with who-knows how many kids :)
But y'know, these things are just the things that got me keep thinking. Do soulmates come in literally any place ? Such as in the heart of a geeky woman in the form of my boss and in the heart of a reputable government official as the man?
Life always confuses me.

Pramoedya Toer's Buru Quartet :
- Bumi Manusia (This Earth of Mankind) (1980)
- Anak Semua Bangsa (Child of All Nations) (1980)
- Jejak Langkah (Footsteps) (1985)
- Rumah Kaca (House of Glass) (1988)
I have been longing for ages to read these masterpieces, and even my 'bule' colleague has read them... so I am very embarassed as an Indonesian that I haven't read a page from the books.
And I also started to read some books, and left them unfinished. And unlike some people, I don't like to jump to the last page of the book just to see the end - I'd rather be left hanging in the middle of the plot, not knowing what will happen in the end. Dunno, if this is good or bad :))
