this province has run islamic syariah law. so women should wear hijab. i dont mind bout that (not because i'm not moslem, but becos some women are more beautiful with hijab).

my only problem is i always remember this lovely friendly sweet girl i had met previously in jakarta. each time i look at the women here, my memory drives me back to her, whether it's her physical look, her sweet smile, her warmful acceptance, her hidden personality. anything about her would come up in my vision.

have spent my first night and second on posko mapala in banda aceh. i have had warm welcome and service from them. had thought that i won't had a warm acceptance from them. just a worry that has been cleared.
miss this busy but cozy situation : working with this posko lifestyle and responsibility.

i put my bag on CARE's official guest house, but i'd stay here. i'll spend my next working days there. i do not know when CARE will send me to simeulue. probably on wednesday. i've talked with some persons that have previous experience there. the capital, sinabang, is quite small, smaller than banda aceh. there isnt much activity there and so there isn't much for the entertainment. dunno what to do during my weekend there. for the first 3 months, i wont have an Rest & Relaxation (RnR) leave. there are few banks operated there, Mandiri and BRI. the cost in simeulue is probably little higher than in banda. fried rice can cost me 8000 rupiah, while in banda, it costs 5000.

probable bad news are i probably won't receive my per diem cost until april. the reason is that the jakarta office didnt give any personnel ID number. without it, the finance department can't give the per diem cost. second probable bad news is i wont receive my salary for march. the budgeting for this month has been closed. so, i'll receive my 2 months salary on april.

farewell party with Ahmad, Hani, Budi, Krisna, and Aussie. Ahmad had to leave with his fiancee for food test; his wedding is on May 14, 2006, two weeks before his birthday (he's gonna have his own naked lady on the bed for his birthday present, and it's forever).
without Ahmad, the five of us went to Sentul, tried to find some 'sate kiloan', the thing which we had been looking for. on one restaurant, had few cigarettes after 1 kilos 'sate', 2 soup, 1 big rice jug and some drinks.
had a long conversation with Hani and Krisna at a sidewalk, march 5, 2006 : 1.30 am - 4.00 am

a reunion with Sinta, Ari, Erlin and Devita, pondok laras, 12.00 am. served with its famous 'ayam plenet' and 'sayur asem', we spent almost 2 hours there. main reason is that it was raining heavily.
