The Anything Goes Thread 2, Where OOT is a must!! Options

I'm suddenly a huge fan of farmville and my goal now is to beat my friend's score to be the richest virtual-farmer you've ever known. lol

[Ralf]

Oh no...... not you too. Seems like all my friends are playing farmville instead of writing in AF. No worries, I have to admit that I am also in farmville. (IMG:http://www.asiafinest.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/icon_redface.gif)
But really isn't this more the sort of thing for someone laying in hospital like DEL. Folks without any injuries should be doing the real farming, rather than virtual farming.
The characters look cute though.

What Indonesians thank for in Thanksgiving day (supposed if they celebrate it)

.... in the pure spirit of the American holiday, I asked friends and colleagues to tell me what they are most thankful for in their busy, BlackBerry-dominated lives in Indonesia. Here are just some of their responses:

"I am thankful for the diverse cultural heritage that my country offers." - Aimee, Lecturer and Writer.

“I’m thankful to just wake up alive everyday.” – Ron, Retired Business Executive

“Household help! That’s number one, no doubt about it! And friendly, open, creative and raunchy (as in sexual) people!” - Julia, Writer and Author

“I'm thankful that the Indonesian people are so accepting of foreigners as tourists and neighbors.” – Jay, Business Consultant

“For the Island of the Gods! It has the best quality of life, is peaceful, nice, and down-to-earth with interesting people.” – Elaine, Bali Property Manager

“I’m thankful for Indonesian girls, a unique mix of beauty from all around the world created by all the people who have come here for thousands of years.” - Leo, Graphic Designer

“I am thankful for my sarcastic b!tchiness.” – Dara, Secretary

“I’m always thankful that I have another day to live, I’m in good health, and have a lot of good friends who are nice to me.” - Wimar, TV Host

“What I’m most thankful for is my health. Oops, I mean second to my husband.” – Prisca, Hotel Executive

“I am thankful for all amazingly friendly and welcoming people I meet every day.” – Yanik, Financial Officer

“That I’m not a Muslim living in Aceh or an award-winning film director without a film degree.” – Alice, International TV producer

And now, in between bites of ayam kalkun and mashed potatoes, I sincerely offer my own messages of personal appreciation. I am most thankful:

- To all the restroom workers who are conscientious about cleanliness.

-For the nice bodyboarding waves in Bali’s Jimbaran Bay.

-To whomever created the kebaya, the traditional body-hugging Indonesian dress.

-For newsroom colleagues who are serious about getting better and wanting to someday work abroad.

-For the husband-and-wife singing team of Sammy and Dorothy Isidro who have led the “Naturals” in the Hotel Mulia’s Cascade Lounge for nine years.

-For air conditioning. Air conditioning. Air conditioning.

-When people stop me to say they enjoy my writing rather than “I watch you everyday on TV!” Especially because I’m not on everyday.

-For finding decent tonkatsu (Japanese pork cutlet) at Katsusei in the Grand Indonesia Shopping Town.

-For the altered and now more-positive international perception of the United States since former Jakarta resident “Barry” Obama moved into the White House.

-For a day without a mosquito bite.

-For the “Premiere” reclining seats and “Velvet” futon chairs at movie theaters. Yeah, Jakarta has spoiled me. But I do try to go on weekdays when it’s half-price at Rp 50,000.

-To the police officers who actually try to control traffic.

-For the level-headed, overseas-educated, next-generation Muslim leaders such as newly married Yenny Wahid.

-For the mystical view of Borobudur Temple from the dining room of the Amanjiwo resort.

-For the best-value taxi fares I’ve ever paid.

-For Ranch Market, Kemchicks and Sogo Food Hall.

-Whenever I hear the “Happy Birthday” song. No matter what age you are, it should be a law to have it sung to you on your special day.

-For a mother in Hawaii who is healthy and mobile at 87 and is eager to pay her son a second Jakarta visit.

-To the toll booth workers who still manage to smile despite the choking exhaust fumes, never-ending lineup of vehicles and stifling heat.

-For the big voice from petite dangdut singer Kristina.

-For the ongoing opportunity to do the work I love in a place that I’ve grown to love. Thanksgiving in Indonesia? Totally.

I too celebrated Thanksgiving Day with my folks last month and as a matter of fact Thanksgiving is as Indonesian as nasi kuning tumpeng (not to mention that ayam kalkun in Indo is a treasured animal so we don’t usually like to eat them). It is time-honored tradition in Indo totally, long before the Plymouth pilgrim’s time.
Any time we find any reason at all to give thanks for, be it sembuh sakit (freed from hex/spell), lulus kursus kilat (graduation in time), or kepilih jadi caleg/dapat proyek basah (new employment) we will soon manage to have grand thanksgiving feast, sukuran, slametan, kenduri, pesta demokrasi, pilkada or whatever else other names it is being called.
So much so that even when we are really least afford it or it will cause unjustly and significant financial detriment we will manage to pull it off by any means necessary.
Yes even if it means to borrow from loan sharks, pawn family jewelry, mortgage the sawah or pinjem dulu dana non bujeter (corruption).
Because its our inclination or like what they say in my kampung biar tekor asal sohor or lagi mumpung jadi penjahat… eh penjabat. (IMG:http://www.asiafinest.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/icon_twisted.gif)

Does that mean Luna Maya's hot temper is not suitable for becoming a mod in AF ?

Add me on facebook, but I am crazy busy with shutdown work and IFF, and will not have time for the online farm game.

[furansizuka]

I'll vouch for her and support of her 101% (IMG:http://www.asiafinest.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/embarassedlaugh.gif) Imagine she says this "Trolls are LOWER than PROSTITUTES, MURDERERS!!!!! May your soul burn in hell!!!" (IMG:http://www.asiafinest.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
