very effective business

Didekat tempat tinggal saya, ada food court yang jual masakan india. Biasanya saya pesen eggprata utk sarapan ato makan malam. Penjualnya orang india yang gak terlalu bisa bahasa inggris.
Pertama kesana, kalo saya pesen "i want 2 eggprata, take away", biasanya mereka geleng2 gak tau maksud kita.
So, akhirnya saya kalo pesan selalu bilang "2 egg prata, bungkus", dng jari menunjukkan angka 2 dilanjut gerakan bungkus makanan, ato "2 egg prata, eat here", dng jari menunjukkan ke meja makan.
Stl itu, lama2 saya gak pernah lagi ngucap "2 egg prata", tapi langsung isyarat angka 2 dng jari dan gerakan membungkus ato nunjuk meja makan.

Cara ini tnyt sangat efektif, setiap saya ke foodcourt itu, blm sampe ke depan yg jual, biasanya mereka langsung kasih isyarat angka 2 dng jari, trus saya menunjukkan meja. Kalo mo bungkus, tinggal dekatin dan isyarat tangan bungkus.

Sore ini, ketemu cara lain yang lebih efektif.
Begitu liat saya menuju ke foodcourt itu,
mereka langsung ngangguk2 kemudian saya ngangguk2,
mereka buat egg prata, saya duduk dimeja,
Pesanan datang, diantar ke meja, bayar.
selesai.
Gak pake ngomong, gak pake isyarat tangan, cuma anggukan kepala aja.
Bener2 bisnis yg efektif :)

All I Am

Who do yo think you see
When you look at me
Is it somebody strong
Somebody you could admire
And who do you think I am
When I take your hand
Are you counting on me
To fill your dreams and your desires

(*)Well all I am
Is lonely just like you
All I want to do
Is have one dream come true
All I am is handing you my heart
And hoping to be part of you

Who do you think you are
Standing in the dark
Are you waiting for me
Why can't I reach you from here
And how do I get to you
Won't you let me through
Don't you think maybe we
Have something special to be shared (back to *)

Eleven minutes

Lagi baca buku "eleven minutes", karangan paulo coelho. Kayaknya critanya asyik (tentu, paulo coelho gitu lho!!!).
Anyway, awal2 baca, aku kira ini novel cewek, critanya ttg gadis brazil, mencari "prince of charming", tapi putus cinta bolak balik, sampai akhirnya mengambil kesimpulan "love is a terrible thing".

Tapi ceritanya jadi menarik, stl dia dapet tawaran kerja di eropa namun sempat ragu2.

Everything tells me that i am about to make a wrong decision, but making mistakes is just part of life. What does the world want of me ? Does it want me to take no risks, to go back where i came from because i didn't have the courage to say 'yes' to life ?

Kesannya, kok jadi kayak critanya alchemist tapi lakon utamanya cewek.

Skr baru baca setengahnya, nanti saya posting cuplikan menariknya lagi kalo sudah tamat.
