Summer Class

2010-05-24T10:26:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone its been couple of months since i last updated my blog. I'd been really busy, the assignments were awful, but luckily i managed to cope with it, besides the exams were over materialized , study materials are like piles and piles. furthermore, i was busy participating in the university student association. However, everything has gone well, but the scores of the subject i took last semester have not been notified, when it should have been.

During the semester break, i insisted of not going back to Bali since my parents and sister came by to stay with me in Karawaci, Jakarta. I'd agree, that it was another good way of spending holidays, whole lots of fun. We drove up to Bandung somewhere on the other side of Jakarta. Basically its a highland, the medium cold weather condition and a bit of sun heats, simply fit us well. As usual, mom's number one priority was shopping, we hopped through stores and stores. Being her companion was a pleasure for me, besides of being her bag holder and the good courier, she in return bought me stuffs. We only spent a night in Bandung, with a car problem a bit spoiling the fun holidays.

Daddy was really nice, he brought me his brand new iron golf club ". As usual Dad is the type of person who enjoys sitting up in cafes while having sip of coffees. He purposefully bring his sport shoes just to go on driving range with me but unfortunately, our schedule was very packed. One'd like to go to a mall, another longing for new clothes , and another longing for something. We did not have enough time, so we did not go to the driving range ( dont worry daddy, i'll be practicing over here)

Today, is the first day of summer class. I arrived late in the class and did not have any of the study materials. Hopefully, i will score higher GPA this semester.

Wish Me Well

cheers people

My 3 Weeks Holiday

2010-01-10T08:26:00.000-08:00

After coping with the tension due to the final examination, the pay off finally came and done. I had a 3 weeks holiday, that i spent in Bali. Here are words that would describe my days in bali : beach, sunburnt, party, alcohol, family, and friends. I know you guys envy me! hahahah...

This is the good thing about Bali, it always colors it's sky nicely on every single day. One of the many reasons that it becomes the right destination for holiday!!!

My grandma has turned 86 by now. We arranged a birthday celebration for her, invited around 300 people. It was not an even organizer work this time, we managed it our own and we even did the performance. I can say it was a blast and impressive, i am grateful for having such a big family that could work together. I really put much effort for her birthday. On her 86th birthday i was assigned to perform a capoera show that i couldn't do and have a null idea about. One of my sisters boyfriend is really good at it and he became our instructor for the preparation. Couples of meeting for it and the show went pretty good with a bit of mistake that i did. i messed the show. here is the link if you'd like to see more for my grandma's 86 blast http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3293900&id=532319131#/photo.php?pid=3293708&id=532319131&fbid=241476329131

This is Serangan. It is the only place i surd nowadays. I always prefer this surf spot rather than any other. I surfed this place since 3 years back and i am considered as one of the local. It is not really known by many people, which is one of my reasons for choosing this place to be my favorite surf spot, the wave was also good in size and shape. The bikkinis girl sunbathed and you can even sometime see some of them not wearing bra!! yeah!!! hahahahha

This is the same beach with the above picture. Sitting at the beach is my favorite way of spending time. I usually lay on the beach wooden bed while drinking teh botol and waited for the tide to get a lil bit higher, unless i'll be walking on the reef that is quite hurtful. Urgghh, i bet you would also like it if you were me sitting at the same beach! give it a try!

Look, this beach is dreamland, somewhere located in Nusadua area. It used to be hidden and only local surfer knows this place. But the construction of golf course, hotels, villas, and even club in this area made it become one of the "must" place to visit for visitors. local visitors and tourist were sharing the spot, you can see how crowded it really is!

The new years celebration is always a family occasion. Its repeating from year to years friend asking "Hey where are you going for the countdown?" i would always answer it "You know , its a family time !" and they would understand. This closing of 2009 and open of 2010 was done in my aunty restaurant. My really huge family started from grandma to grandson gathered up together. We waited till the clock beat 12 and it was a long hugging and kissing time with each other. Fireworks were also there decorating the skies, we participated for it, we bought a carton full of it. The only different of this new year with the last was that the fireworks was really everywhere. I guess the authorized did not get too strict this time of confiscating the illegal fireworks that was sold on the side of the street.

I am sure that you wont hesitate to go if anyone ask you to come to bali for holiday. This is the reason that Bali was so crowded during my holiday. It was december when everyone had their day offs. Bali is cheap, and really a suitable place for holiday. The real destination for getting away from your hectic but ironically when people from all indonesia has chosen the same place for holiday, it ends up not to be a holiday and perhaps a traffic jam. The street was fully jammed with cars from Java "I believe so"! For this reason, i often felt lazy to go out anywhere and prefer stayed home.

We dont really celebrate christmas religiously thou, but i love the sensation that it gives, even in Bali there was no such a special decoration and stuffs, but i dont know i just can feel the christmas. rhahahha.... Office was closed during Christmas. It was a spontaneous big family trip that mommy and daddy arranged. We headed to the most upper part of Bali, Amed. It is well known for its natural untouched nature. The forest still remain as a forest, the seas still remain as the sea, the coral reef still remain as the coral reef. Besides it wouldnt cost you much if you would like to give a visit, the hotel or you might say bungalow is really on your budget! It was a 3 hours trip from my house and my ass flattened for sitting too long in the car. We didn't stay over, we arrived at the exact location and just swam and had our fresh juices. After all it was a really exhausting trip and yet a great family reunion time.

She is one of my nieces, i found her very cute and so i decided to put her pict in my blog. Btw, her name is leafe!!! hahahah.....

Upon my 2nd day of arrival at Karawaci, I had an invitation to attend that was Elin's "the girl on the picture" eldest sister's wedding ceremony. I wouldn't talk much about the ceremony but i would say it was awesome. Congratulation to her Sister!! Good Luck!

The holiday is over and second semester has begun! Its my time to do my role of studying and focussing on my studies! I am aiming for a better GPA this semester. Be with me people!! Rock On!

WICKED!

2009-11-26T09:42:00.000-08:00

In the morning people start their day with a set of breakfast, and i start it differently. Most of the time i start it with seconds of glance at the mirror of me making my huge smile. Many people say smiling is really helpful, mostly when it comes to those days where there are things that stress you up, i do agree with them. Smiling does literally soothes and boost up your good moods, so keep on smiling people. Here are previews of the week!

Christian is finally here. He was my room mate in Malaysia. He is now pursuing his degree in Singapore and he afforded to buy his own ticket to go to Jakarta. His girlfriend is here, so it is certain that the visit is not supposedly aimed to meet me, it is his girlfriend. Neways, i dont mind. hahah... This week would be a heavy spending one, i've got to accompany him everywhere and cash has always been the problem. hahahha... but, sure i'll enjoy it!

Sushi and ramen temptations. Yeay, i've been tempted to have sushi and ramen these days, and finally i made it!

a good thing about Karawaci, it is vegetated with green trees blocking the sun radiation, so it wont be that hot. Lately, the weather has been unfriendly and unsupportive, it was a heavy thunderstorm and it will still remain another thunderstorm coming up.

Since, i transfered to Jakarta, i've never posted anything regarding my comfort zone. Here are the beds inside my room which are things that occupied most of the room space, its packed!. I am sharing the room with my eldest brother and its tiring. I continuously need to clean up hiss mess, he's comics are everywhere, clothes and everything. The room used to be a devastating one, with additional thick dust hovering the room and covering everything.

Studies have been good. I score good on all quizes these days. The studying are paid enough!

While i was gone to the driving range on Saturday. A super pleasing and fine weather.

Well, this one absolutely does not reflect anythings related to the title of the post. This is the sad part, i just bought this shoes for around a month. I wore it most of the days, college, malls and everywhere. It simply fitted my tight jeans, so i wore it. Raining season is here, when it rained, it was seriously unsupportive, it was heavy. I wouldn't consider it as a rain, instead i would call it a storm. I was riding my motor bike, sending my brother to his base-camp and the sky was badly dark and gloomy. I thought at the time when i reach home then it was going to rain, but I miscalculated. Just half way from campus to the base camp, the rain started with thunders companion. A wet shivering body finally I reached home. My shoes was wet and the next day, the daily house keeper came and sun dried it outside. She forgot to take it back inside the house and the next day she came, bumping on the door while i was sleeping and panickly "Den, sepatunya dimana" What??? sepatu mana??? and the shoes is gone.!!! ahahahha....

Daily, Weekly, and Random Activities and Health Concerns!

2009-11-13T06:41:00.003-08:00

First semester is coming to an end and the result final assignments were turning me crazy. Lucky that i always follow mom's saying of not to procrastinating. The pile of books were the resources for my management paper. It was an effortful one, many things to write with limited 1500 words. Oh dear.... I only got two assignments left of a presentation and a paper writing for religion studies.

Daddy and Tigger woods are my inspirations. I managed to bring a set of golf club to Karawaci so that i could do some driving here. For a month and a half, its a saturday doing. Never thought that golf could really make me tired, 100 balls are squeezing. I am progressing well, i can hit with iron 7 up to 150 yards. Praising myself here.

For the many times, girls were dominating the class

Finally, after months since i had a real nice bites of Carl's Junior burger, i found a burger stall that could substitute the cheesy juicy of Carl's.

Here's daddy.

Look, i got my own very personal stylist. She even did the button for me! great! hahaha, nope! She is my cousin, she lent me a jacket for my cousin's wedding!

Turn up swimming once or twice a week. I really put the most energies to this, it really kill some fat, perhaps it also grow me taller. The fact is that, i am taller than one of my friends who was taller than me a moth ago. Awesome. The shit effect of swimming is that i got really wasted and couldn't afford to keep my eyes open for study! hahah..

These girls are currently transforming me into a photo freak!

Due to misscomunication in my groups, there was a double task done where one part is not. In result of this I got to skip my lunch and spent my lunch time doing the assignment for the group. I was super hungry and it was a 3 hours microeconomic class. Gracia, one of my friends who was on holiday at europe brought us a plastic of chocolate. One two three and never enough, kept on taking from the plastic until final count, I ate 15! Hahaha... Chocolate is addicitve! Wathc out!

Sorry for the late update, its been a month. So, lately i've been spending lots of time studying, there are so much to study. Microeconomics is killing me, i dont even get a bit of it, I am planning to have friend to teach me to do it, the calculation that requires advance math buried me on unknowing the subject. Management organization is superb. Basketball is daily, the campus basketball competition is about to begin this next month, so the preparation is needed.

Blackberry! Boredom Killer!

Class

Mosquito bite

Study Group

85% of Girls and 15% of boys

The real classes started! My expectation is not right, i expected that the materials will be easy. But one, i struggle very much. Microeconomics! Its hard, loaded with calculations and few of theories. Hey, im good at theories but worst at calculating, more when it comes with millions of formulas! i hate it!

Told you that the class consists of 85% girls and the boys are the remaining. For this result, i am spending most of the time with the girls. Those other boys don't really hanging out here and there. They tend to return home rather than having a lunch with us. Me, is the only guy in the group who we are usually having lunch with. Not a big deal thou.

To cope with the left behind of microeconomics, i did study much but the most helpful is friends that are teaching me. We are learning. They are teaching me while also they are learning, me just getting the information.

The big issue of this week is the mosquito! I keep on wondering does mosquito actually own a heart? if yes, why do they become that cruel of biting and creating such many dots on our bodies? think about it.

cheers

Class

2009-08-22T12:38:00.001-07:00

The photo is the class where I will be studying for a semester or more and those who look alive are my new peers. The class presents 80 percents of ladies and 20 of men.

I've been coping well with the class, the studies, yet the social life. Start to know each other and I had a lunch with them on saturday. Each with their own character. One is being quiet, another being hyperactive and cheerful, one being rude and they are unique. Its nice to know them, and maybe it would be better when time brings us closer. I'll talk about the more ok!!!!

Mandela

2009-08-21T12:13:00.000-07:00

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our greatest fear is powerful beyond measure. it is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am i to be fabulous, brilliant, talented, gorgeous? Actually, who are you not to be, you are a child of god, and your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking, so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, like children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God within us. It is not in just some of us; it is in everyone of us. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give people permission to do the same. As we are liberated by our fears, our presence automatically liberates other" (Nelson Mandela, 1994)

Above is a quote that i took from the book i read (Richard Branson, Screw it, Let's do it" . When i read this part from the paragraph, i was terrifyingly amazed. What could be better than this. I believe this is the best thing i ever read. Nelson Mandela who is the former president of South Africa, given this speech during the summer of 1994. His speech has been really generous, at such a time when time was different but his speech will still glory until today and it should be a direction for us the young generation to go forward with.

I believe i was still in Junior high when i watched a basketball movie, Coach Carter. It described a college basketball team, that started with undisciplined, unknowledgeable, trap in the life of mafia, sex and drug that ended up as the state champion. In the movie, there was one of the player who rebelled the most, he even had a fight with the coach. As he saw his team's winning games, and he couldn't joined the team, he finally apologized to the coach as a mean of rejoining the team. His approach of rejoining the team was not a hand flip. He went to many punishments and often the coach asked him " WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST FEAR?"! He was never able to answer, until he'd been through lost, depressed, down, fallen, he finally had his answer. It was the wisdom words that were spoken by Mandela above.

Screw it, Let's Do it

2009-08-19T20:15:00.000-07:00

The seminars that i attended during the UPH festivals really encourage me to do more readings. At this time, when I am interested and on a mood of reading a book, my brother told me to read an autobipgraphy and also a self help book by Richard Branson.

Who's Richard Branson? He's the owner of Virgin Airlines. Comes up from a small family and week financial suply, he gave it a go, and he owns one of the biggest airlines in the world. There are many things that are described in this book will bring you up.

This is seriously an offer for you who reads my blog, maybe you could read it and believe me, Its good!

Library!!

2009-08-19T20:00:00.000-07:00

its been a year tha i have not been oing for any library visit. Last time was in Malaysia, during the preparation for dinal exam. My new campus provides the student with a completely amazing facilities. One of those is the library.

The library that is built with 3 floors, and each floor has its different type of book. This library is way better than the previous library that i went to in Malaysia. The building is designed with a modern look. The space is wide, comfortable couches are available. During the UPH festival, the library's department gave a speech. One of the things that still sticks in my head is that they have such a big numbers of books. Those are not only indonesian books but most are imported books.

Lets talk about the studying table. In Malaysia, we often did not get a table for studying. More, when it comes to the exam time. In here, the tables are much, so we dont need to worry about not getting any.

Actually, i am updating in the middle of class time because I am dismissed from a religion class earlier. Religion subject in this campus is different, Religion means Christian Religions. Instead of me taking Christian religion, and i dont have a single idea what it's about, i rather grab another option that is comparative studies. Comparative studies will let us learn about 5 common religions that are believed, it includes my believe that is budhism. I did joined the religion class just now, but since the class was too small and the number of students outcome the class size, so i am dismissed and given a time to go to the department office to settle the subjects transfer. After i gave a visit to the department office, there is no requirements needed in order for me to move from religion to comparative studies.

My friends are still in the class and i am alone roaming here and there like a lost child at the campus. What was on my mind? " i have never been going to the library for a year, and this campus library seems like fun, so why dont i give a go! so just walk, and give it a go"

Lovely

2009-08-17T06:53:00.050-07:00

The closing ceremony of the UPH festival was superb. Two thumbs up. Fireworks that have been talked by everyone. It was fired right in front of the campus.

Actually my friends wont go, but after several attempts of encouraging them to go, finally they did. The fireworks started at 8. We were heading the place close to the time it started. Benton Junction was the place. It was full of human, a sea of human. Lots of others UPH freshmen that were still wearing the uniform attended it.

A woman was hanging on a rope when i arrived. I guess, the fireworks did not work it self, just like an exploding fireworks. But it had its concept and story. I was busy taking picture of the woman, and suddenly the fireworks were exploding and lighted up the sky.

I had a less expectation than the reality. It was a super mesmerizing. After the whole tiring, festival and the required activities to be done, and the fireworks were there. I ran here and there just to get the best angle for the picture. Everyone was frozen looking at it. The car stopped, people with their dinner, paused, and people stared.

By this, i am missing those days i was in Malaysia. My house was 12th floors. The balcony had a view of the best mall in the area. It often fired the fireworks. We were busy with our studies in our room, and suddenly an exploding sound was heard. We went out and to the balcony. The firework was coloring the sky. Maybe its the nature of human, when we are looking at something too beautiful, we tend to be speechless and frozen. four of us used to be there, standing and amused by it. I wonder this firework is such a good time flash back. I have a dream that one day, i'll be watching at the best fireworks in the world with my family, friends and the one i love.

Tommorow, will be the first day of uni. I am ready. Books were packed, pencil case is full, and mind is set.

cheers

Uni's time

2009-08-15T03:34:00.000-07:00

Balloons. They were released that indicates the end of the festival. YEAY!! its uni time!

The closing ceremony.

My group during the festival, that some of them are going to be my class mates.

The festival, gave a touch to the campus and they built the stall where people sell foods, clothes and gadgets.

Known as Grand Chapel, it is the place where UPH Students gather for a prayer. But it is also a multi function theatre that could be used for many more. Graduations, dramas, theaters, gala concert, and etc. The seminars were here.

So, after 5 days of being part of the UPH"s festival that is similar to what orientation is, its finally done. Lots of seminars that i attended, and the speakers were amazing, they know a lot about they were talking. A seminar that consists themes, nationalism, technology, and religions. One of the speakers that i remember is the spoke person of SBY ( Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono) the president of Indonesia. I am amazed by his critical thinking, the way from looking with many different perspectives. Not only that, his degrees also do. He has his professor degree that he received from the university in Canada.

Seminars could be really boring sometimes. Today, accidentally i felt asleep, and suddenly a mentor that is not mine, ticked my hand " wake up wake up" shit. thats so embarasing.

Anyway, i finally knew which class i am into. I am into an international class with many more students in it. The difference with the regular class is only that we are using english in everything. Two of my friends that were in the same group are also in the same class. Nice to have them.

Today, the closing ceremony was simple. A tied balloons and also 16 pigeons were released to the sky and it defines the closing of the festival. I guess tonight will be awesome, there will be big fireworks near the campus. Friends and me will be there.

A big city with lots of new people to meet. Its an eyes opening, when you see many people with uniqueness, diversed, behaviors, faces and talents. There are lot of things that i discovered from meeting new people. Wish me luck for this upcoming uni's period, may i am doing well, and being one of the scholars.

cheers..

2009-08-11T18:33:00.001-07:00

today is the second day of orientation. Started the same time like yesterdayn at 7. The difference is two of my friends do not joined, they oversleep and so I went to the campus with my other friend.

Arrived at the campus, we go straight to one of the buildings for a library introducion purpose. It shaped and filled like a conventional room, or a big lecture room. But, they removed the chair and we sit at the floor. I just knew that sitting on the floor for an hour or so, it really hurts. First, it hurts your butt, second you can feel your back in pain. I am sleepy right now, a boring speaker speaks at the podium. I guess I'll be napping by now, and you can see the girl who sits next to me is having a lil' nap. I will be joining her.

Orientation

2009-08-11T09:59:00.000-07:00

I am a freshman to the campus. This morning the orientation has just started. It would be a full week time with only holiday on Sunday. On my first day of orientation, it was a bit messed up. I joined my friends to go to the campus instead of going with motorbike. I woke up right on time and the schedule went on nicely until Christina who had also confirmed with my friends to go to the campus together gave us a call and she just woke up. We were supposed to be at the camous at 7 and at 6.55 we were still waiting for her. Btw, it was not a problem.

I am dressed with the right uniform. It was a white polo shirt, paired with a blue jeans and a casual shoes. At the campus, even thou we went there together, but after all we were all separated into groups. I forced my self to joined the orientation. Its a time of making up friends. New friendly people were there and so now we know each other. My group is formed with 9 freshman, that are 7 girls and 2 boys that are me and another one. We have a mentor that lead us everywhere and gave us instruction. Lucky i am in a group with a nice one, one of my friends is in a group with superb annoying one.

The agenda was, we joined the opening ceremony at the sport center. Its a semi indoor basketball courts that is enough to maintain us. I believe it is more than a thousand new comers joined the uni. activities after activities, at 1 we joined a psychology tests. It was 3 hours long and there was a part that is purposely printed in a small size letter. This part made an eyes error, it zoomed by its own. You know when your eyes get to tired at it suddenly just zoomed in and out and it gets blurry, Thats what i had. Right after the test, we had a light conversation with everyone and the mentors told the agenda for tomorrow. At 5, we are released and we were home. Nice.

A supper tired, and a back ache. I need a massage !! anyone!!!!

THE POWER OF MAC!

2009-08-09T08:32:00.000-07:00

Pencil sketch

What people said about the power of mac

the same thing

normal

hahahhaa.... its the power of mac, that means the power of mac. hahhaa..

Using this laptop is a nice one, what i said on my previous post is right, once you know how to use it , u thank mac! yes it is. its easy and fast. A start up that only take few seconds and a shut down that cost your's 5 seconds, i counted it. A multi function touchpad, amazed me. You can do lot of shortcuts here. A photos resize, rotate, to another tab, to another windows and many more. Im not promoting mac here! hahaha... being ironic .

Today, woke up quite late, that was at 1. Nothing to do, so watched tv and went online. I felt hungry, so i ordered a presto-ed fish and the did the delivery, i don't feel like going out side today. At 5, brother and me finally made a decision to go to the basketball court and had a game.

He forced me to go to the movie with his friends and him, but i denied it. reason? i dont feel going anywhere. For dinner, thera and diana who are friends since junior high school that join the same uni with me came. So, we had a meal at a small restaurant near by our house. The result of me rejecting my brother is, facebook-ing and blog update. Facebook is a really nice community to stay connected with each other. I can be said, have been out of contact with tya for sometime and today we chatted. its nice to hear from her.

tommorow? i dont know!

WELCOME JAKARTA!

2009-08-07T11:00:00.000-07:00

So, after been spending a full year in bali, that started up as a uni break and ended up working with mom and dad, finally i move to jakarta and will be starting my uni this really soon. Its hard and tough just to ket my self go to a new place, i guess its not only hard on me but also mom and dad. Mom really touched me. The story is, we were seriously rushing on sending me to the airport, my flight was at 3 and at 2. 15 we were stil at a restaurant having our lunch. There was not much thing about good bye this time, time is catching me. On my arrival at Jakarta, Daddy gave me a call and one of the things that he told me is that " hey mom was crying while we had our dinner, she said house is too quite without me" it really touched me.

My flight was delayed for an hour and half. It was really frustating. My handphone battery was a bit left, so i did not listen to any music, better use it to call my brother who picked me up at the air port latter. Things that i always hate about going with plane is the line up. Indonesians are just the worst, they can't do it. Kept on pushing me over and over again, even after i did several attempt to make them stop. Lion air, its a budget plane ticket, i did not expect much about the plane. I slept the whole route that resulted on my super hot ass transformed into a flat screen.

Thanks to my brother that picked me up right on time. We drove to Karawaci, where we are staying and took my Brand new laptop at his friends who managed to took it for me at the mac store. Its a 13- inch Mac Book Pro. I supposed to get the new mac book but the discontinued production of it gave me the better Macbook Pro. It is superb. I am happy with this one, even though i am awfully lack of mac thingy, but i am happy for this. I am still finding out on how to utilize its function, people said its hard for the first time but when you get it, you thank mac so much. I hope what they said are true. So lets see.

A wise man words that motivate me to go here are " there is always something to sacrifice for you to gain a better one". I've got to move on people, live in Bali is fine but i would like to have a new one that suits my age. This age, am not supposed to work but study. I am a typical study oriented person, so i guess this uni's things wont be a problem.

Today at 8 am will be an EPT (english proficiency test) that is one of the requirements to join the international class. I should score high this time, the minimum score is 500 out of 1000. WISH ME LUCK !! please...

I am really thankful for person who keeps on coming to my blog, even thou i dont know, who are you, but a big THANKS for you. I'll be pleased if you could drop a comment or anything at the chat box.

Cheers!!

I'll be missing

2009-08-04T07:45:00.001-07:00

This photo is shot from the spot where i spend many time of being alone. In the morning, its where I sat while waiting for the technitions to go. At the lunch time, a cigarretes place, its hiden, you can't look at me when I was there from the second or third floor. At noon, place where I grabbed a drink and puffed ciggaretes after a light basketball exercise. So, I bet I'll be missing and I am worried that home sick will drag me.

8 years being part of family, finally it is handed to another person. Consideration,after consideration, we finallized it to be sold.

Started as a school car for three brothers, adi, dirga and me. Get to another function of being a surfing car. Even though it is ugly on its body, but it keeps memories. Everyone's been inside it. One called it with "red cherry ferrary" , " rock n roll car" " the sacred car" and lots of other.
I believe there is no other that will replace it, and congrats for you who gets it!

Eyes

2009-07-28T06:43:00.001-07:00

Hey, here I have a light update. I am bored waiting the que for eyes doctor. I shoud've been register with the doctor by phone from before. Thought that the doctor will be empty, but it is fully crowded, don't know maybe lots of people start to get their eyes blinded. I registered straight when I arrived and its gonna take about an hour to wait said the registry woman who did it. So, instead of me waiting and doing nothing, I forced my self to drive. Random destinations. Suddenly I remember my friends who told me a wear shop somewhere around denpasar " it was like a light that bulp, cartoon ". Went there, and they had lots of wears that are suitable and good for me. I bought two of those and I guess I'll claim the bill to mom, cuz I spent my own money.

why am I going to the doctor? I lost my specs, I need a new one. Mommy told me, to check it to the doctor just to make sure if there will be any power need to be added to the specs that will be mine.

Cheers

At 4 I went to one of the public schools in denpasar for a basketball game. I am registered with an official club " merpati" and often we made our own game at different club's day that we call it " merpati bersatu"

There were not many of us when I arrived, but one by one came untill it becomes 8 of us. This kind of game has been my weekly routines since 3 months. Game is only a game, but it becomes more than just a game when we did it. Laughter what makes it special. There are things that we laughed about, the game and inside jokes were the same.

After the game, back home and showered. I was late for harry potter movie today. Generally talking about the movie, honestly I have no idea. Please excuse me for this. First, I have not watch the previous one, second I was late, and third I went out at the middle of the movie. I guess, I should go for another one.

Sleeeeepppp...

Sat - ur - day

2009-07-24T22:00:00.001-07:00

I was thinking something about what does saturday really means. So the first thing I did is splitting out the words into sylables. It becomes sat- ur - day, and maybe it means sit for the whole day, that insists a day of chilling.

I woke up late today, I snoozed the alarm again and again, till dad came inside my room and woke me. A daily things did at the shop. At 11 mom, dad and me headed sanur for its mix rice. Dissapointed very much, after sat half an hour in the car, then we knew that the rice has just finished. So, we headed another direction that has its best mix rice. Renon, "warung bundaran renon" .

Its a mix of balinese meals. There were lawar, babi guling with their tasty sauce, and also its jeroan " pork spare part". One of my favourite drinks is, it's orange juice. Surprisingly orange " where's the pul? Where's the pulp? Whrreeesss the pulp????"

Pork chop baibeh..

2009-07-24T09:23:00.001-07:00

As much as I remember, the last time I had the best steak was in Malaysia, one year back, when my sister had a visit. We had it at TGIF, it was nice and big in portion.

This time, finally after a random drove here and there around ubud, we made it to Nacho's mama. Its actually a branch of a famously known restaurant with their best spare ribs, Nuri's. The restaurant is only few feets away from its main rest.
I prefer to have my meals at their branch instead at their main rest. The reason is that, they have less crowd. U don't wanna know how crowded it is at the peak season.

Arived at Nacho's mama, a grill was placed at the main entrance. There were two thick slices of meat being grilled, it wasn't the spare ribs. Everytime I've been here, I've always had ribs, never tried any other things before. I was thinking of trying something new and I ordered the slices of meat that were grilled and it was a pork chop.

20 minutes and yes the food came. A plate of mash potato and a bowl of vegies were complimentary. The first byte and so on satisfied me so much, its insanely delicious. The tasty chops with its juicy that melted to your tounge on your every byte. A plus of its special sauce that was mainly chili and sweet soy sauce. The best part of the steak was it's fat! The juice! GOD!

Its really not a mistake to had this one tonight, even thou this tummy keep on racing infront, but this really worth. Seriously, it worths so much! Try it!

Turns out to ubud

2009-07-24T04:42:00.001-07:00

Ingrid and yogie who are my kidhood friends were asking for an out since yesterday. I thought that we would be hanging out somewhere around kuta.
But when they picked me up at home, we have no where to go and a final decision is ubud.

Its been a while that we don't hang out together so, I guess there will be lot of things to be chatted about.

I miss it!

2009-07-23T06:27:00.001-07:00

I did a review on folders of photos that are placed in my external hardisk. The photo below is one of the first photos that I collected. I guess this was taken at 2005 by beach mate of mine whose now busy with his job and family life.

I remember those time when beach was my day. a school time and beach, that's will widely explained my days.

Sometimes I wonder how I miss the time riding the lines of bluish water color, the time that stomach was aching when big swells are coming, the time when oxygen was barely enough to breath under the wipe out. The after surf was also being part of the things. I often went out from the water before my brother did, just to get a clear view of super yellow sunset with ciggaretes and teh botol.

Beach oh beach....

Notebook schedule

2009-07-23T02:42:00.001-07:00

After discussing and finding out the best notebook for me, mom and me made a decision to get me an apple notebook. There were few choices of notebooks given by the campus. Hp, toshiba and mac. an hp notebook will be given free by the college since its part of the uni fees that mom paid. For mac, we need to add another more to get it. So mom paid for it.

Dirga did all the required administration stuffs since my campus is in jakarta and I am in bali, instead of me going to jakarta just for this easy administration, so he did it for me. A schedule that has been promised to be posted at the uni's website long time ago,finally out by yesterday. Mine will be ready by 7th of august.

A so called orientation that is known more in jakarta by festival will be on 11th. I was supposed to be at jakarta at 6th, cuz I should be taking the notebook by 7th. But lucky, my brother's friends are there. I told him to tell his friend to collect the laptop for me, with an approval letter from me,so I won't be going to jakarta as soon as that.

There are reasons that I don't want to go to jakarta that soon. 1st, my uni will start at 11th and if I will be going to jakarta at 6th, what will I be doing on those 5 days. 2nd, there are lots of things that I can do here rather than be in there, one of those is basketball.3rd, I rather be spending time with family and friends than being all alone watching dvd's at home. 4th, I just wanna stay here longer " its a home sweet home"

So, I am getting my mac real soon and I won't be going to jakarta that fast!

Tournament

2009-07-20T18:37:00.001-07:00

Lately I've been busy with a basketball tournament at negara "you may google it, to know the where is it".

The tournament took 3 days and since the place is located out of town so we decided to stay at the hotel. A hotel that was out of expectation. A room with two queen size beds that were still coated with plastic " its a new bed". The room was seriously dusty and that my throat and nose kept on iching. Bathed with no hot water and shower. Its out of expectation!

We had our first game right after we drove 2 hours to the place. We won 40 points. The opponent was bad, they were actually match with my club's junior. Our second game was against the home player. A game with pressure. We lost 10 points at the first quarter and at the end we won with 20 points. A good game.
The last game was heavy. We were lost. Our team first weakness was our body posture, they were tall and big when we were considerably short and medium size. Our skill was okay but our body lost us.

I have this time to update because I am here at a bank and the queue is long, so while I sit, I update.

Cheers.

I thought there would be some of his friends, but then there is no one! I'm alone!

The airport is extremely crowded, the japanese ausies are returning to their home country. I was trying to find where he is, but couldn't find him. So I called him and he said he will be calling me after he finished checking in. So I'm still sitting here...

Today is really amazing, seriously.I've been sick since few days back, but this won't ruin today.

We had a friendly match with a team from surabaya, we tought that they were going to be really good.

Arrived at the court at 2.30 which supposed to be at 2. Our opponent had not come till 3. We started the match.

I was surprise that coach picked me as one of the 5 starter players. I succededly set the ball tempo and let mates play really well. " Play for em ' a really wise sentence from my brother'". At the third quarter I pointed 9 points. The final score is 90 - 27. It was really good.

Basketball has create liters of happy juice here! Hip hip hurrayyy!!!

Now I am stuck at the mother fuckin trafic, but still, am gonna be good for this basketball thingy... Hahaha

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMY!!!

2009-07-06T00:22:00.001-07:00

Today's mommy birthday, I do not know what age she's turning to, just a small celebration for us.

Yesterday, was super tired. At the vacation, I had enough sleep which was around 9 hours sleep that supposed to be enough, arrived home, I was dead on my bed, slept for another 4 hours and at night went for basketball exercise.

Just remembered on my way to the court that mom's birthday is gonna be today, so I was thinking on buying a bucket of flower. For the cake, at first I hesitated to buy it for the reason of pieces and pieces of cake that are left in the fridge bought at the bakery sale last week. But in the end I bought a terang bulan for the subsidiary of the cake and a bucket of white roses.

My brothers and I agreed to pay it together, so am waiting for em to send it to my account. Hehe...

Dad's bought mom a karaoke set, that is really good. Besides for karaoke, I can use it to enjoy movie together. It creates a loud sound and its really enjoyable.

At night, we'll be having a dinner, I still do not know where exactly its gonna be.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMY!!!!

Vacation

2009-07-03T23:25:00.001-07:00

I believe that lately I've been working quite hard and considerably serious. A plus of this basketball exercise that has been a routine for me. Everything just really so much power burning.

Yesterday, I told that I will be having a day off from my working. And now I am at nusa dua with basketball mates and coach, having a lil vacation. We are settling at a bungalow, that consists of 1 master room, that is really nice. 2 middle room, that is decent enough to be slept and mine back room that has 2 single beds and inside rest room.

Started the trip by 8, with our visit to BENOA. The place where we bought the fish. Its extremely cheap, 15kg of snapper fish only cost us for 180k. You know, nothing cheap is easy and nice. As a result lack of available pennies so we should be going to the fish market and tell the fish mommy to clean the fish for us. The fish is frozen and now we're waiting for it to defroze. Waiting and waiting.

I feel like sleeping so much, so I'll be sleeping alright...

Another update will be at night, after we did the barbeque ...

For dinner I had pizza. Pizza hut!

my sister and I were actually craving for pizza for lunch, but then we had no time so we had it for dinner. we supposed to get it by delivery service, but my sister won't. So, we went to centro, the only place where pizza hut is located. its a high season, so I am sure that the road will be loaded with cars and its a traffic jam. I chose to go with motorbike. My expectation with the traffic condition was super right. The car was unmoved, lucky I was with motor bike.

My sister and I had 2 pans of pizza and chicken wings. It tasted good. One pan is pizza with mozzarella only toping and the other one with mushroom, beef and chicken.

And so I give you my promise to upload photos. Please excuse me for the low pixelated photos!

Mom's down

2009-07-03T00:37:00.001-07:00

I woke up at 8, as I have always been and started doing my chores. Rescheduling places to go for technitions, supervised them while they were about to go and after it was done, I sat at the tabble wondering what else I gotta do. My mom reminded me that I had an appointment for a massage, yeay! Hahaha.. It was not what else I got to do, but it is something that I want to do. As I waited for the massage time which was at 10, I made my breakfast! I had few thin slices of luncheon meat, cuts of cheese bread, and spoons of washabi mayonaise. It was a decent one. Just I finished my food, she came and I had a massage.

The massage was really nice, I believe its not specifically a balinese traditional massage which is usually I did! A combination of shiatsu, cuz she stepped on me, thai massage she pull my leg, my hands and my neck, and also it was balinese, with the simple thumb push over my back.

After massage, showered and made my mum lucnh. Again, another luncheon meat, but with additional canned sardines and tahu.

Suddenly mom said " tien, ngantuk kali, tidur dulu ya" I thought she wanted to sleep upstair inside her room, but then she fell a sleep at her chair. Hahaha... I guess this is a really rare occasion.

I will be updating blog, with more photos yeah.

Rushing

2009-06-26T20:04:00.000-07:00

Lately i've been trying again and again to update by phone, but it never works. So, here i am with my laptop. Yesterday was a super busy and hazardously tiring. A bbq party at my house had been planned since Wednesday.

Yogie, Julian and me were supposed to meet at 3 at my house, but it was just a complete misserable timing. I never know that my mom was going to send me to this fuckin government's buliding for sending the stuffs they ordered from our company. At first mom said that it would be at 1 than it was gonna be okay, since kuta and denpasar is not that far. Wait until 1, still the stuffs that i was about to send were not in my shop, so i got to wait for the guy with the stuffs to come. And finally at 3, he came. Shaiiitt!!

I was tremendously rushing since i should be meeting yogie and julian at 3. Oke, this had been really depressing. Guess what, after this feding up things to do, all the way to denpasar was stuck with traffic, you know the javanese come here for holiday.

A car drive that supposed to be like 30 minutes became one and a half hour. Arrived at the place to send, and the guy wasn't there. This blood was just a mm about to get out from my head... After cooperating and cooperating again and again , calling and calling, finally the guy came. Look, i hate working with that kind of balinese specifically those who are working with the government, first they are stupid, second they are irresponsible, third its farkin hard for them to pay the stuffs they bought "we got to go with many legal letter again and again" and last after all of those shitty behaviour they are proud of themselves! seriously, what is wrong with them!!!!!

It was 5, and i was still on my way home. Julian and yogie had waited for me for 2 damn hours, stuck stuck and stuck with the traffic finally at 6 i arrived.
Straight headed the fish market, bought fish and prawn, and home.

At home, again i was rushing. i should lighted up the charcoal, rewash the fish and prawn, and sliced it. Waited for my friend who brought the barbeque sauce, he came at 7. So we started bbqing at 7 and had our dinner at 9.

It was a succes bbq thou, the food taste good, but while we were bbqing, ryan dropped 2 cooked fish! shait!! so we sent it to the rubish bin.

at 10 they were all back, and ended up me cleaning their mess. Lucky rute helped me!
After cleaning, at 10.30 finally im done. Went to my room, took my towel, bathed and sleep. Jesus, it was a heaven to be back in my air coned room and sleep.

Maybe it was because of the extremely tiring day yesterday, today i am caught with the flu. But i am trying my best to keep this condition okay, in the morning i had a nasi bungkus and aWATEREMLON juice. See, i had my fruit! hahhah... This nose is running!! ahhrgghhhh!!

yesterday had been not that busy not until my dad who's so called my boss was ordering me to have a visit to one of government's official building for installing a head projector. it started with the screen placement, and ended with the projector. Its kinda hard, since our company is actually not working in this kind of gadget, so it quite brain and muscle squashing for us. The projector has been on the right place, when it is turn on and the screen get the picture, it is somehow not diagonally and horizontally right, so again we got to fix it. After been working for 3 hours, still we couldn't make it prefect. so, we'll be back at the place by today with the engineer whose working with the projector distributor.
After work was amazing, rushed back home, had a bit of food "i only had a bit of rice and a pork served with balinese spices at two o'clock, that was all till i had this one", and picked Patricia at her house.
We directly headed matahari simpang siur since yogie had been waiting for our arrival. He bought us a movie ticket. I didn't have any idea what the movie is about until i watched it. The movie was crank 2. I thought it would be either humor or trailer. Until i had the whole movie, still i couldn't place it at what kind of movie is that. Its an action with cartoon editing involved, its like an undone movie. If u watch that movie, i bet you'll keep on repeating WTF!!! hahhaa....
after movie, had our dinner at laota. This time, it was so shitty. The porridge has always been nice as usual, but they didn't have the cakue! damn! this porridge without the cakue is not perfect, just the same if you hvae a burger without fries. Still, i managed to enjoyed it so much.
And the time goes by, dropeed Patricia back at her house and i was home. Last, i slept beauty!!

today is an awesome day,... let u know more on next post!!

Jealous

alright, hahahhaha.... been a foolish promiser ! said i would be updating real soon, but somehow it has been almost 3 months... hahaha... excuse me alright!

the reason im updating this blog is i am jealous of patricia's blog, fully organized yet oftenly updated, where mine is like 180 degrees opposite from her's.

neways, new thing bout me: i got a bb on my hand, everything is so much easier when its on your klicks of you fingers. I am about to get my teeth done with bracelet next week, aprroved and will be paid by my mom after been begging her for sometime.

2009-02-16T20:57:00.000-08:00

hahaha... I've been weight lifting for quite sometime but unregularly, i mean not that often. Its like twice a week or so. Actually its not the story i would like share with you guys, but since i have no picture, and no pictures in post means boring, so here i go putting those pictures up.

So, what's been happening??

One is that i am really happy because I rejoin my basketball team back. The training was fun and the team are crazy and maybe even more than crazy.

Second, somehow I am more into indonesian music rather than english. I used to heard English music everytime, but meanwhile i do not know any good english song, so I prefer listening to Indonesian. Where do i got it?? My basketball team mate, they are like so updated to Indonesian music. hahahah.... its good for me.

Third, I did no dating on valentine, yet I was at My friend's uncle wedding. Honestly, I did not enjoy it. But when it was kind of late, My basketball mates came by my house and picked me up to Mbargo.

Fourth, This Valentine Mbargo party was hell lot of fun. I did not drink much, but watching them dancing and shaking were really amuzing. Its been 3 months that I never been out " I mean clubbing stuff".

Fifth, I bought the ticket for Singapore. I am officially will be going to Singapore .. YEAY... on 16th of March and will be meeting up with family on 25th.

Sixth, I spent most of my time with no more movie, but Twilight novel. Its a really good book, really light reading

There are more and more, and if it continues there will be no end.... Hahahahah... "LEBAI"

oke... oke.. got to get back to my dad's email task....

Hey Ya everyone. Here I am in the beginning of a day, posting up photos that i printed, framed, and hang on my wall. Please, excuse me for this sucks up photos, since I snapped it with my laptop's camera.

The reason for me to post this picture regarding photos that I hang on my wall is that its really eye catching "for me" maybe not for you. hahaha...

I really hope that I can get "my" camera back, since its really frustrating at a moment when I'm out to somewhere and there is something really nice to be picted and I have no camera, or at a moment when friends asking me for a hunting, there is again no camera. ARgggghhh.....

I want my camera......

2009-02-04T18:41:00.001-08:00

Yeay.... Im back to the court for the many times.

Finally, after months of thinking about rejoining my basketball club, I do rejoin. The best thing is that the coach has been replaced by another one, who is my favourite.

And, hoefully I'll be way better with it.

Cheers...........

Happy belated Chinese New Year guys. I'd been sick since CNY. I felt really sick plus headache, stomachache, and also felt like puking. Hopefully, after 3 days, I am better.

Chinese New Year. Its Chinese's tradition, for having good meals on CNY. My big family, had a dinner in a new seafood restaurant. It was nice but the place was just too compact. One round table occupied by 15 person.

After dinner, Yogie, Ryan and me went to a temple to pray. Instead of only praying, we also enjoyed the Barong Sai shows. Firecrackers were placed everywhere and when the clock reached 12, they lighted up.

In the morning of Chinese New Year, we went to my uncle's house which we used to be going to grandma's house. Since she starts to forget stuff, all of her bellongings are moved to my uncle's house and mine.

Arrived at uncle's house. Everyone was there, and my mom was bordered by the kids for the ang pao. My mom gave out and I got ang pao. Hahahahha....

After all, chinese new year is a lovely yet grateful time. Everyone assemble and there they are with happy faces.

Happy Chinese New Year Again......

2009-01-24T09:18:00.000-08:00

At a time when there are whole lot of pictures to be blogged, i didn't feel like blogging. At a time when there is not even a single picture, my desire to scribble on this blog rise. hahahhaa....

I really hate it, I have no camera with me, for these 6 months of time. Camera that I used to took most of the pictures in this blog is taken away"actually not taken, it's his and he is in need of it so he take it back" . Meaning, there is and will be no documentation for these 6 months period. I hate it so much.

Ho well. Swimming day would summarize today. We went to Tabanan, somewhere north in Bali, specifically Christian's house. His dad owns a public swimming pool, since yogie, Ryan and me did not have any real thing to do, we ended up visiting his house with a purpose of swimming.

We should have been meeting up in my ex-school parking lot at 8 o'clock. I thought that everyone will be late. Shit, they were on time. They phoned me at 07.45 and they were on their way to the place where we should meet. That time I was just awoke. hahhaa.... A quick shower, and drove fast to school. Finally we met up, and I was late for half an hour.

30 minutes car drive arrived us at Christian's house. Changed our pants, and swam. Just for information: Christian's brother swims really fast,I mean really really fast. After a while, everyone get bored so we showered and ready for lunch.

We had it in a warung TABANAN. The mix rice was really nice, I had it 2 portions and Yogie had 3. He is a massive eater and of course thats what makes his belly really explosive.

After lunch, we headed to a beach. It was nice, a black sand beach, with only us and few people there. Even thou the beach was poluted with waste but it was still nice as a matter of our privacy.

My body felt like it was about breaking apart. Finally at 2 we headed home.

I cant resist of haaving a np. It was a long one, 3 hours.

My family dinner was really nice. We had sea food in "Gurita Sea Food" restaurant. Its a new restaurant. It was seafood with HONGKONGIAN cooking style. yep, it was yummy.

After dinner we were back home and my brother came. He's been here for almost a week, but i never really get the right time to meet him, until today. He is leaving to Surabaya by 7 AM today. Well, a short youtube time and a bit of chat must be enough, there is no time left. He left and finally I am back to my world of privacy of Facebook and blog.

Tommorow would be Chinese New Year, and Yes, Ang Pao is ready. And I am the red paper chaser...
hahhahaha

nitesss guys....

2009-01-22T06:33:00.000-08:00

A day with not much things being done, more to a chilling day instead of working. Woke up in the morning and rushed down to the shop to finish my dad's file.

The day went as I was reading my novel . Pages of novel were passed and stomach felt hungry. I went to a"betutu" restaurant (its one of the most well-known balinese food, served with varieties of spices and also traditional balinese ingredients, usually its really spicy). I never thought that the food would be that spicy (mom always asked for a delivery service and usually it wasn't really hot), since I ordered it, i've got to finished it. A burning tounge and litres of sweat.

Arived home, and checked down at the shop. Until the clock showed 03.00. Mom and me picked my sister up and went to carefour. House's needs were all in the basket and being bought.

A sudden of unresistable will to surf came. Grabed my boards and boardshot and straight away headed Serangan. Earlier it was windy and heavy rain. A good luck of mine. I arrived at Serangan, and the rain stoped and so did the wind. As a result, the water was glassy and perfect wave shape and size. Surfed for 2 hours and the sun went off.

A dinner with mom and sis. A normal dinner time in my family is 7 o'clock, today we were late. We had it at 08.30. Taliwang restaurant was our destination, and the food was okay.

Arrived home and here I go again surfing the internet. Facebook and facebook. Actually, I've made my mind, that there would be no internet tonight and I should have been reading my novel, but the thing is I forgot my novel in the car and I am lazy to go down three floors ( its tiring) to get it.

I've get to sleep right now. So

GOOD NIGHT

2009-01-20T08:02:00.000-08:00

Hella everyone, wellcome back. Its late but feels like updating just for the sake of mine to fill up this spare and boring time.

Today been really tiring, woke up at 8.30 My dad's rule.

Just for an update: I am recruited by my mom and dad.

Went down to the shop and my mom was ready with stuff for me to do. First of all before she ordered me to get her job done, I asked her for her debit card for me for settling down a payment regarding my certificate issue.

Next, a bank job. I went to a bank, transfered money to many accounts, and finally did a payment for her credit card. Fiuh...

I was happy that today there will be no much things to be settled but guess what?? santa clause, my dad came by and asked me for a company to a government office for "our" company project.

It would be no problem if the sun was not radiating such a hot shit. Really, i was about to faint but i kept my self to stand still.

Arrived home at 4 something and I cant resist my body's will for sleep, so i had a rest. My dad woke me up after 45 minutes for an out, but I ignored him. 3 hours went fast, and that was me, really awake.

My stomach felt really hungry, so I managed to get a bit of money from mom and went to a restaurant known well with their porridge.

Had my dinner alone and straight away went back home.

Facebook after facebook, blogs after blogs, mails after mails and i am still clicking and downloading quotation, and here i go typing out words on this blog.

Additional Information: I've been trying to put sometime on Grey's Anatomy series, Season 2 (4 episodes left) since I am running towards the finish page of Paulo Coelho's book-----> The Zahir. Hopefully after this book, Twilight. I know I am out dated with book but earlier I was not interested with this book, as i watched the movie and it was hella good, I really want to read the novel......

Got to read my book.....

nitess people....

Sorry, this, previous and many upcoming post there will be no pictures, since my camera is taken by My Brother..... argghghhhhhhhhh

2009-01-17T01:16:00.000-08:00

Hey everyone, after been a while I did not updating this blog, here i come again. Actually, it was not that I did not have enough time to do so, but It was just I was lazy to do it. Let me outline things I did few days and weeks earlier.

I bought an external hardisk 250 gigs. Yep, it's huge and its more than enough. Since my laptop memory was alsmot full, 2 gigs left. So, i bought this external hardisk. I went to a computer centre, and the place is more like a traditional market rather than this computer exhibition show. I went to many shops, brought notes, and jotted down the price offered by different shops. Finally i made a good deal, it's 950.ooo. Way cheaper than normal price.

I printed out some of my photos and also framed it. I hang it all on my room wall. Three photos had just printed and soon more photos will also be.

This morning, I did a talent test and also kind of physchology test. It seemed easy, but as the numbers and questions go, it gets harder. Simple but really confusing, the paper forced us to think outside the box. Really hard.

A sudden and badly surprising news was heppening yesterday. One of my dogs was killed purposedly. The doctor analyzed that he was infected by "rabies" virus. There is no other option than execution. So, an ijection that fainted the dog and another one for stopping the oxygen flow. It was sad but it should be done unless more dogs will die with the exact virus.

Just so you guys know, one of the reasons besides of being lazy to update the blog, its also because my internet connection has just being repaired yesterday. So, YAY, I'm back to this world.....

cheers

Hey, I'm wearing yours.
Somehow can be said as a tradition of my family, new years eve should be celebrated together. The celebration took place at my Auntie's house. An open air big terrace. This year celebration was the first time we did barbecue.

Barbecue was done and continued with drinking games. 15 minutes countdown to 2009, everyone gathered and we played with firecrackers. Firecrackers were my most favourite from most of all.

I thought, after the family celebration, I would be joining friends at one club but then when I reached home and saw my bed, I can resist of going to sleep. I was so wasted, not by the alcohol or so but because Dirga and Me were surfing in the morning for 4 hours and yesterday night we had not enough sleep.

Here are some pictures of my new years eve celebration

Happy New Years Everyone

Cheers

Busy Week

2008-12-28T19:09:00.000-08:00

More things were happening these last two weeks than the week before. First we celebrated my Grandma's 85th Birthday Party, Second I'd been putting shit whole lot of effort on painting my room, third we celebrated Christmas and last I am back to water.

Now she is old, but god blesses her with healthiness and happiness. A birthday party that invited around 300 people in a Chinese restaurant. Many nice dishes were there. The special part of her birthday party is the time when her grandson who are me, nieces and others were dancing and singing on the stage. A preparation of 3 weeks were enough, the crowd were satisfied... hahahaha...
Two Chinese songs and a dance with kind of classic dancing music.

One most embarrassing stuff of the party was the costume for the party. A stinging orange color shirt. It really looked like a waiter in one of hotels in Bali. Btw, everything went smooth and nice.

About my room. It was blue in color, lot of scratches, holes, and also brown color on the wall that i dont really sure where it came from. I wanted to paint my room, way back ago and finally i got the "will" and time to do it.

A yellow cream color is finally coating the whole wall. It looks way better than my wall used to be. The room interior placement is also changed a lot. I like it this way more.

I never know that painting is extremely tiring. My room is not that big, its even can be considered as small and i spent 7 hours to do it. My sister was also helping me to paint the room, even thou she messed up some of the things, but thanks her.

A Christmas celebration. A plan of going to a church with Yogie. As usual its hard for him to wake up in the morning and so the plan was canceled. Nothing was really special, its just the same thing we did every year. A dinner with my auntie and grandma and grandpa.

We had a yakiniku all you can eat in " yakiniku sama sama" restaurant. Everyone enjoyed the food, and we ate like so much. This christmas i would like to wear my santa's hat that i wore last year's christmas, but it's gone, so i didnt wear anything this year, maybe next christmas i will.

Yep, thats what really happened these last two weeks.

See you all, let me get back to my work....
hahahha....

cheers

FunFair

2008-12-14T06:53:00.000-08:00

Funfair, it is an annual bazaar organized by my past high school. It involves much activities and food stalls from famous restaurants and cafes.

Years back, it was very interesting but as it keeps on repeating each year and the things have never been changed, i mean the food stalls, the activities are all the same every single year, interesting evolves to boring.

Funfair started in the morning, i dont know the exact time. I didn't really interested with this year's, so I went around 5 o'clock when much people had gone. An entry is charged, games are charged and definitely the food.

Activities that I am describing here are like bands from students in this school, many kid's game such as mini bowling, golf, and stuff. The most well known game in this bazaar is "Ghost Maze", made by art teachers, the room was extremely dark, with many volunteers from student for being the ghost who were trying to surprisie and frighten us, but it didn't work.hahahha. Ghost maze also worked the same with others, even thou every year it has different theme but it has always been there every year.You know when you see things too again and again and up to certain point it gets really boring.

Besides of those repeating activities, stalls and all, the weather was also very annoying and tiring. An extreme hot combined with humid. I was sweating like hell as if I was showering.

Since, it has been an "anual" activity for us ( The almater of Gandhi School) to come to this occasion, so i forced my self to go.

Its Sunday, I am going to sleep soon, tommorow gonna be a working day, got to wake up early in the morning.

Cheers

When i was in Bedugul for a trip with my friends, we had a tracking activities in the forest. On a way to get back to the tracking stop, I saw this lil' kid standing near those bushes staring at us. A simple captured.
Ryan, Grethanie and Chritina who were wasted from the journey. This time we were still half way to the finish line. It was a really long track, we spent like 3 hours and even more to finish this...
In the morning, Before my trip to bedugul, Yogie, Ryan and me would like to have a breakfast near sanur beach for a Balinese mix rice. Since we arrived too early, the warung had not open. So i went to the beach to grap up some photos. A nice composition and natural lighting from the sun.

I was expecting that it would only be my friends and me having this activity, but then when we arrived my auntie and her sons were also there. Ended up we had this tracking together.

The boys

A simple diner for my birthday. Ryan and me are having the same birthday and as usual what we did couple years back we celebrated it together. My 17th celebration was an exact different from my previous. Used to be clubbing, drinking, drunk and stuff, but this time it was a dinner. Ryan, Yogie, Ali, Patricia, Tina, and me had our dinner together, until we almost finished our food, Christina came.

We had it in "De Grill" restaurant. I was actually not knowing about this restaurant, since i don't know where to celebrate it, so just took it simple and followed Ryan's choice. It is a western food restaurant which focuses on steak. The price is relative high but its worth the food. The place is okay, as it goes with the service. Almost each of us had different food. I had a lamb chop, it was nice.

Minutes after we finished the dishes and we were about to leave the restaurant. A surprise cake came up to me and Ryan. I really didn't expect any cake but that was it. They arranged a surprise. Thanks guys, I appreciate it so much.

17th

2008-11-29T08:31:00.000-08:00

Before I start typing things up, let me just thanks God, for giving me such a beautiful life, opportunities to see, feel, hear, smell, and taste this fascinating world and anything inside it. My mom and dad that have been spending their love, time, money, patient, energy, anger, ideas, and everything that make me as I am. My brothers and sister, Adi Mulia Nugraha Kantawibawa, Dirga Putra Kantawibawa and Indira Dewi Kantiana for being such a wonderful you guys that I have, Spending time with you guys is just awesome. Friends and you are all special Yogie, Patricia, Christia, Christian, Theryanto, Christina, Tina, Robi, Grethanie, Fang Fang, Sella, Dice, Jeje, Mario, Julian, Felix, Niko, Frederick, Ronald, Ganesh, Kim, and all of you guys that is not written here, thanks for being someone that i really can relly on, in good or bad time. I hope our friendship will never ends.

What does it mean to be 17 years of man? I used to be a boy, but i don't think it is anymore. I am turning into a man. I have big dreams of being someone. I' ve been living, spoiling, saving, and damaging this world for seventeen years. Even though I believe that I am a man, but somehow I also feel that I am young. A head that keeps on comparing the years I've been living and age of someone much older. I still have a long life to go, and I have my strong faith with me to go on with this physic and psychic and enjoy it until someday, I will be someone thats going to make you guys really proud of me. Experiences of life that could not be achieved in any other way besides of living. I need more experiences to be maturer.

Thanks for being all of ayou guys, I really appreciate it and love you all.....

HAPPY 17TH TO MY SELF!!

HIP HIP !!!! HURAY.......

A Farewell Diner

2008-11-26T20:03:00.000-08:00

Now, I am in Bali and I was not updating this blog when there were more things happening with me.

One day, before I am leaving Jakarta. Sella organized everyone, Hendra, Fang Fang, Adi, Noel, Bayu, Joven and Me to have a dinner. It was actually only a simple gathering and not really a farewell, but let me just say it as a farewell.

We went to Segara, It was a chilling place which has the same concept as Kudeta and Anantara. It is a front beach cafe, with lounge music, nice couch, beautiful building and good service. Located in Ancol, the centre of Jakarta. One and half hour driving from Karawaci.

Had 2 bottles of wine, dessert wine. It was sweet and tasted more like apple syrup, but it was nice. Hungry stomach, so we ordered 3 plates of pizza, and each had different toppings. One was cheese, another one was tunna and the last one was a meat lover.

2 hours spent, and we headed back home, Karawaci. Hendra and Bayu came over to my house and Sella was staying over.

Bandung Trip

2008-11-24T10:53:00.000-08:00

Pouring the beer...

The room

My new camera with me...heheh

Sundanese Food

First of all, let me just tell you guys that on this Wednesday, i am heading back to Bali. I have been spending my days in Jakarta for about a month. My mom was telling me to celebrate my birthday here with my brothers and friends, but finally i made my mind that i am going to do it with mom, dad, sister and bali friends. Since my day to Bali is in keep getting closer, so I asked my friends to accompany me for a visit to Bandung.

Fang Fang and me had been talking about this visit since a week ago, asked friends to join but there was no final answer untill friday nite. The trip was a day trip. And here it goes!

We headed Bandung at 4 o'clock with Fang Fang's car. Fang Fang, Adi, Sella, and me were in the car, and Dirga was also joined in after we picked him up from Kuningan the place where he had a swimming competition.

It was a long ride, and I was as the driver. We were riding on the highway, a large size, and bumpy road on the end of it. Dirga and Sella were sleeping during the journey and Fang Fang and Adi stayed with me.

After 3 hours driving, finally we arrived. Directly we had our dinner in a Sundanese restaurant. It was a nice restaurant, good food, as well as the price. Not long after we finished our food, we went to unsure place tried to find hotel to stay in. Visited some hotels, Fang Fang, Adi and Me were waiting in the car while Dirga and Sella went to the lobby asking for prices, room available and take a look for the room condition.

Hotels after Hotels, finally we made our decision to spent our night in The Batoe hotel. It was a nice hotel and price. I mean the price is worth the room. It was a new hotel. One room eight people occupied. Went to the room, Dirga had a poop and I had a quick shower. Rushed going to PVJ mall (Paris Van Java) to meet Hendra, Bayu and Joven who were late comers.

Had a sit in Red Bean cafe until then Fang Fang met her mom and sister. It was really nice to see someone face that was mesmerized. She was really happy. Spent about an hour and we headed Jack House club.

I thought it would be another cafe, but I was wrong. It was a club. A cheap club, good song and fun. The drinks available were extremely cheap, it was almost half of standard price. Almost had a bottle of Jim Beam which was only Rp. 250,000 where in other place it was about a million. Waited for quite some time until the waiter came and told us Jim beam wasn't available anymore. Selected another bottle, and it was also unavailable. Last choice was jugs of beer. We had 4 jugs and drank it by a card game.

The night was over and we headed back to our hotel. Just imagine! A room 3.5 m x 4 m occupied by 8 people. How i was supposed to sleep. I slept in one bed with Sella and Joven. The other bed was Dirga and Hendra. Adi and Fang Fang were spending the night at the bed foundation ( The bed had 2 layers, one was the bed and the other one is the one that Fang Fang and Adi slept on). Bayu who had the biggest body sacrificed his self to had his rest on the sofa.

Almost no sleep i had. Really small space and the other reason was that I couldn't stand the room temperature which was so hot. Not only me, but Bayu also had a bit of sleep.

Woke up at 9. Everyone had their shower and we checked out from the hotel at 12. We went to Dago street, and had our lunch. I didn't, since i had my brunch which was supposed to be breakfast at the hotel restaurant. I enjoyed a small glasss of strawberry juice at the place where everyone had their lunch. Walked to Kartika Sari bake shop and bought some cake and bread for mom and us.

Our next desitination was Distro ( its a shop that sells clothing for people around our age). Went to shop after shop and I had 2 T-shirts and Dirga had his long sleeve.

Places we should visited are done and so we headed back Jakarta. This time, i was the passenger and Hendra was a driver for his own car. He drover like shit, really fast, scary but safe. It was only one and a half our drive which was actually supposed to be 3 hours. Shit, it was really fast.

Keep on opening my blog, and u'll see more......

A Gift for Future

2008-11-21T11:44:00.000-08:00

Here is the simple camera

This and the others below are sample of the outcome from this simple fisheye...

An extreme feeling of happiness is controlling my mental. A birthday gift dedicated to me from Fang Fang, Sella, Adi and Dirga. Its a fisheye lomography camera. Its appearance is similar to a camera toy, but it is not. It is a state of art.

Its a manual camera "non digital" and it enables us to create vintage pictures with a unique curve lense effect.

I was sitting at the living room while having a cup of orange juice after my supper. Suddenly, Fang Fang and Dirga came outside the room and told me, "hey! here is your birthday gift" hahahaha...

First, i was not believe it, until then i believe it and i can feel that this is mine. Actually, I've been promising to myself that oneday soon when i got extra money, I will spend it on a fisheye camera. But this is it, they gave it to me. I am so happy.

About the process of camera getting on Fang Fang's hand. On Wednesday, Fang Fang, Sella and me went to a shopping mall and Fang Fang bought the camera from the shop. I was really bling that i didnt realize it is for me. It was not only me that was blind, but it was also Fang Fang's and Sella's bloughing skills that made me believe it.

Their plan was to give it to me on my birthday which i used to think that i am going to celebrate it in Jakarta. I've made my mind to celebrate it with my family in Bali, and so i bought my plane ticket to return to Bali yesterday. They gave it to me today because we are going to have a trip today to Bandung and so they wanted to have pictures with a fisheye camera. hahahaha.....

I believe with this camera, I am going to have loads of fun and creates lot of unique photos......

Magic

2008-11-20T09:34:00.000-08:00

The world of Cyber. It seems like magic, everything is available. Buffering at my favourite TV shows, "Heroes".... hahahahah.. I've been waiting for the DVD to be published, but i think its too long and I cant resist my desire of watching it.

First it was Dirga's idea to watch TV shows from internet. I tried with my laptop to find my "Heroes" shows but it didn't work. As i saw one of my friends is online on msn, who is a fan of Heroes series, so i asked him about the movie. He gave me a link to buffer this series online. What a magic. Thank you Ganesh for helping me with this. At least, now i got something to do......
hahahahahaha.....

A weekday

2008-11-19T13:17:00.000-08:00

The traffic. We can't really see how bad it was from this picture. As i look to this picture, i wonder that guy wearing the read t-shirt will die soon. The air polution is killing everyone!

Me, Sella, and Fang Fang
Another traffic, it was a real long line of cars
Hey, its 4.30 in the morning. I closed my eyes, but things keep over and over coming into my head, Arrrrggghhh, I cant sleep. I had my sleep since 11 PM, for a pee I woke up around 2, thought that after toilet, I can get back to my sleep. But, here is the thing, i am awake and doing my blog.

Lets take a review for yesterday. Woke up at 11, it is still considered as morning in this house. Took a shower, and directly went to Taman Ayu ( its a food court that serves varieties of food with afordable and even cheap price). A quick lunch and directly headed Jakarta. The trip was started only with Fang Fang and me, untill then we picked up Sella from her campus and went to Plaza Indonesia (mall).

Just as we arrived at the mall, we visited "Ak sa ra" bookstore to take Fang's fish eye lomography camera order. Nothing left should be done, so we managed to had a waffel ice cream. It was a really nice one. The waffel was different among all those that I ever tried, it was a bit more creamy and my most favourite was that it was crunchy. Not forget about the Ice cream, it was also nice, most likely it was a home made ice cream. Crunchy waffel with additional toppings of wipping cream, mapple sirup and a scoop of cookies and cream ice cream... nice combination. After the waffel time, just chilled at the ice cream house for a while and then we went off.

To the car, and fetched Sella to another mall " I forgot the name" to meet his boyfriend. One thing that really stressed me up, traffic. Oh, come on.... That was like a real bad traffic. The road was so compact, everyone was horning, and worst of all we can really see the chocolate air which was smoke from burning fuel roaming outside the car.

Lately Jakarta has been doing a 3 in 1 traffic rules. From 5 - 7 PM that is a rush hour, several main roads only can be passed by car that is occupied by 3 or more people. Since Sella had been dropped at the mall, means that it was only Fang Fang and me inside the car. We should not be passing that road, but that is our only way to get back home. What better could be done??? Its a new occupation for uneducated and unskillful Indonesian. "Joki" what they are known for. They are paid by people " me as well" to go sit inside the car until we are done passing the 3 in 1 road. Hanging out on the street with their hand asking us for their service, just simply pull over our car by the side of the road, unlocked the door and they will come inside. Fang Fang, the Joki and me...hahah... problem solved it was 3 of us inside the car.

Arrived home, no real reason why I was so wasted. Had a shower and dinner, around 11 I was asleep. Now I am still awake and going to go outside of my room to have a ciggie and get back to my bed.

Do It....

2008-11-18T00:34:00.000-08:00

I am still waiting for Adi and Fang Fang to get ready to go to Campus. I should find out about a discount for my University fees. Anyone who has a family relation with each other and joined Pelita Harapan will get a discount.

Most probably after campus, i will be going to the mall to have my lunch and later on around 7 back to campus, to watch Adi's basketball tournament. As always, Fang2 will accompanies me.

The party was suppose to be started by 7 o'clock, but as always everyone was late. An hour drive from our place, Karawaci to Jakarta exactly that restaurant. Fang Fang, Adi, Dirga, Mimi, Sella and me were in the same car. We arrived. Hendra with lot of his friends were there and started their dinner. Took a sit,grab the menu and ordered food. It was a new restaurant concept that i found. It was an all u can eat, but it was not a buffet instead we order the food from the menu as much as we like.

All of the food that i ate yesterday were sushi stuff and sashimi stuff. No rice for yesterday.....hahahaha... NICE. Sushi, really nice, fresh , creamy sauce and served with a creative handy craft. It was so much yesterday that i ate.

Aha... the funny stuff that happened yesterday
We were all very hungry before the dinner. When we arrived we ordered the food so much. Our orders were too much, we didn't even know what we ordered. So, anytime the waiters came with food, no matter who's food that was, we always claimed it as our.... hahahahah......

The dinner was continued with karaoke. We went to HAPPY PUPPY, it was a family karaoke place. The room, songs available, as well as the sound system were really nice.

Well, that was Hendra's Birthday Dinner..... Another Birthday wishes for you Birthday Boy...

Bakti Sosial

2008-11-16T12:26:00.000-08:00

Bakti sosial refers to an activity where people help the poor. Any donation can be given. This time, Hendra was spreading out free food for homeless.

Its a new thing that i discovered from Adi's friends who are also mine. It is a good thing to do on our birthday, friends and me know it as BAKTI SOSIAL.

Yesterday, i had a movie with Adi and Fang. A sudden call came from Hendra which asked us to join him for this BAKTI SOSIAL occasion. Well, after the movie was done, Adi, Fang2 and me went to Kopitiam restaurant and met the boys. Packed all the food and put it in the car. Headed Jakarta and stop in random places. Brought down the food and gave it to homeless. Had a bit of chat with them. I am really happy for being part of this activity. It is an eyes opening where we can see people who live in the same planet but in a different world. Most of the homeless that we met yesterday were builder. They came from different places with simple survivor tools and simple skills, but without any real job to go.

Below the flyover is their house. It is far from standard where people should settle. A long pants, torned shirt and a thin sarong were their protection from the nature. I am sure that mosquito bites are their daily annoyance but they resist from it. Rubbish were everywhere and the smell was kicking my nose. I wonder how those people could survive from this kind of extreme living condition.

I believe that the main cause of homeless is Indonesia's government who set low educational standard.Millions of Indonesians are uneducated and worst some of them are unable to read and write. One of the outcomes from Uneducated is homeless. When people are uneducated, they only owned minimum skills that are almost impossible to survive from this condition of fully globalized world. Jakarta, it is the capital of Indonesia and sure it is a tough place to live. There are many people who are way smarter, skillful and ready to work harder than us. Homeless will absolutely lose from those. Most of homeless are ended up with a nasty job and low earning. It is a really big problem for Indonesia's government to solves. What will be the future of Indonesia if homeless are not taken seriously by government. Maybe road will be full as places to settle in and mortality rate will extremely rise up.

Live up Indonesia....

Weeks Up

2008-11-14T08:53:00.000-08:00

Now, I am stuck alone in the house. Dirga has asked me to join him and his friends to go to a mall for a product launching and stuff, but i didn't go with him. At first, my mind was to watch Grey's Anatomy series but then minutes after minutes, I got really bored and ended up with updating this blog.
Days have been going as usual, besides yesterday. My brother, Glen who was also in Jakarta would like to meet us (Adi, Dirga and me). There was no specific place to meet up, so i asked him to go to Taman Angrek mall. Dirga wasn't following me and Adi. It was around 6 o'clock we arrived at the mall. Nothing to do, so me and Adi went to coffee bean to had a sit and read our own novel. But then, around 7, Glen texted me, that he was unable to meet us, since there is no transportation to go with. Nice. Not so long, Fang Fang joined us as well as Sella. We went in to several clothing shop. Since Adi has been bullied by us because of his wears, so we managed to go to shops and advice him with the good one. Ended up in Planet surf. I took so many clothes for him to try. Sella also played an important roll on this shopping. All the thing that Adi was doing stayed inside the fitting room and waited us for throwing him with the shirt that he should try. Well, after on and on trying the shirts and jeans, finally he had his courage to put in his money for those things "actually not his money, mom's thou". He bought two shirts and a pair of jeans. Now, he should be better in look ....hahhaha.... he is my brother so I should make him look as good as possible.
Mall then to Sella's house. We were not doing anything there. Several minutes passed then Adi and me went with fang fang to the main road for taxi to return to Karawaci, since sella's house is not at the main road. Just sit in the taxi for less than 5 minutes, fang2 called Adi and asked us to go to his building, because she needed to go to Karawaci for a birthday surprise birthday of Hendra. Headed back to Karawaci, met the groupies near UPH's campus, then we went to Hendra's house. As a tradition here, anyone who's birthday will get some nasty things to be showered to their body. No real preparation for this surprise so there were not much things for Hendra, but after all Joven managed to get eggs to throw.
Hendra was out from the main door of his house. Seems like there will be no nasty thing going to happen. Told to make his wishes, and PYAK PYAK PYAK...... the egg went to his head and mostly to all of his body. That is not the end of the surprise. He revenged back with water from the pipe. We were all wet with water, but he was fully covered with egg. Happy birthday Hendra..... you're getting old...hahahahah!!!
Actually there are more things that i would like to share with you guys.... lets make all those for the next post......!!!

Another one. . .

2008-10-31T08:52:00.000-07:00

heyyyyaaaa everyone. From which one should i start???? ok, lets start with the pictures. In Bali i promised Patricia about pictures of UPH campus to be uploaded somewhere, so i managed to put it here on my blog. The campus amazes me so much and I hope that the pictures can explain one of the reasons to all of you why I choose Jakarta for my Under degree. Days here have been going quite fast since most of the time i woke up quite late around 12 something and even later. Played basketball with my brother and his friends was quite good, its good even though i pilled of my feet skin because I was wearing my running shoes instead of my basketball shoes. Had some nice food, like lamb sate, its different with the sate in Malaysia. The taste of the lamb was really strong and the sauce was a simple sauce which was only sweet soya sauce with a bit of shredded red onion. The price is affordable and even cheap, but the place is just sucks, with trucks crossing in front of the stall and all the smoke came from the charcoal burning.

Today, i visited an orphanage home. My friend celebrated her birthday, it was a simple party with a lunch served. The party was simple but its special. It was not the food that special, but the kids were just amazing. Its a really eyes opening. Their innocent brain working and words that came out from their mouth made me smile. Piercing that i wear on my lip had becomes a great topic for them. One by one came up to me and asked the same questions. "whats the thing in your mouth?" "why do you wear it?" "does it hurt". Copied as what parents always did when we were small, "its kind of nail, i wear it because when i was a kid, i used to be very naughty and as punishment i should wear it and it hurts” hahahahaha. . . should tell them a bit of lies which might change their behaviors since the point of my answer is being naughty will get a punishment with the piercing which will be painful. I’ll share more stories with you on another post

Leaving Malaysia!!!

2008-10-19T11:17:00.000-07:00

Nowadays, malaysia has been different for me. I used to hang out with lot of friends, but now its only Ganesh left. Ronald is in Uk, and Kim is back to Korea doing his national service, Patricia, Kekeng, Christia, friends that have always been there for me, in good or bad time are in Singapore doing their degree. We used to go sunway piramid together, went for movies, carl's junior, but this visit has been different, i walked in sunway by my own self, sighseeing and felt the different of how being alone, without them by my side. Lucky Ganesh is still left in Malaysia, so he accompanied me lot of time. So here it goes, my last day in Malaysia.
My flight from Kuala Lumpur was at 7 am, so i went off from Ridzuan condo at 5 by taxi. I didn't sleep the whole night, dice was accompanying me. At first Ganesh was with me, we were hanging out since 2 pm, we went KL, one utama, and this one famous stall located near the old Lim Kok Wing campus. It was just a weird day, one is that it was my last day in Malaysia, second i've been messing up with my house keys since in the morning and finally i lost it. Confused of how to get into the house, lucky i still have the telphone number of uncle who usually does house stuffs like elctronic, water and lock. So, i called him and he came to my house with this big steel scissors, and so we cut off the lockpad. Ganesh was still with me, he accompanied me, had some ciggies, and helped me a bit with my packaging. After 30 minutes, he should go home and so he left. Just after he left, dice came. She was having her final event project the next day, but since it was the last day of mine being in Malaysia, she sacrified her sleeping time for me "thank you dice". She really helped me alot with my packaging, we folded all the clothes and put it into the luggage. As we got nothing to do at home and she was hungry so we went for supper at mamak.
Spent about 1 hour in mamak, then we went back to my house. We were sitting at the living room on the couch and just being quite and flashingback all the sweet and bitter memories in my house. It used to be crowded, everyone had their own thing to do. Dirga will always stayed in his room and studying, kekeng was sometimes in his room studying or video conferencing or he might be in the living room, smoking with me. Most of the time, Niko spent the whole day infront of his laptop and did his online game. Then, it was only me and dice inside the house. In order not to get really sad of leaving the house, we did stupid stuff. Dice was the cameraman and i was the DANGDUT dancer. We made a videoclip with dangdut song. Time went so fast, it was 4.30 am. I showered, dressed and went to lobby. The taxi driver has waited for me. So, its time for me to say goodbye to dice.
Another sad thing that really mean a lot to me, is that i should leave the house and i should handed it to other people. Before i left, i wrote a letter to the anyone whose gonna occupy the house, that give a brief explanation about what has been happening in the house. Hope that those who gibba stay in that house will enjoy.
The flight was okay, the plane was fully occupied. The flight took 2 hours. Arrived in Jakarta, did the passport thingy and took mu lugage. Hopefully i still have a bit of phone credit left in my Indonesia's sim card. I called my brother that supposed to pick me up but then with his dramatic shocking tone said "you are in airport, oh shit. Im still at home, Ok im heading airport right now"
His house is quite far from the airport, so i went to A&W had a glass of orange juice. Tried to find free internet, but its not my luck to get it. Get bored, so i read my novel and after a while he came and pick me up. So, in conclusion i've been waiting for him for like an hour with those stupid taxi drivers that came back to me again and again asking me for ride.
Well, now im in Jakarta, and gotta do lot of stuffs for my uni. Hope that everything goes well.

cheers. . . .

Days in Malaysia

2008-10-17T01:38:00.000-07:00

I've been neglecting this blog for sometime, and here i go again! I've been here, in Malaysia since Tuesday morning, i supposed to arrive by monday night but then the flight was delayed. The flight was okay, it was not as occupied as what i expected. Three sits owned by me "hehehe" so, i slept and laid over those sits and had a nice sleep. The flight took 3 hours, arrived in Malaysia and i waited 45 minutes for the passport chop thingy.
I took taxi from LCCT airport to Ridzuan "my place". Arrived at Ridzuan, I entered my house that had been not live in for 3 months with Dice and Jeje. Sudenly all the memories of A1210 were like rushing down deep inside my head. The noise that it had always been, the people, the smell of the house and everything were sweet. I went to kekeng's room and I saw the broken bed that i made. Went to Dirga's room and it was empty, since its Dirga had always been there studying. The house is just 180 degrees different from before, the atmosphere and the soul of the house!!!
I had lot of thing to do, but they are all settled. Terminating interenet connection, student visa cancelation, asking for recomendation letter, paying down water and electricity bills. Most of my friends from ICPU are gone, some are in UK, and the one I always hanging out with, Christian, Christia, Patricia are in Singapore. Lucky i still have Ganesh here, who fetches me here and there.
I had walk in Sunway piramid, it used to be me and all those friends, but that day i walked alone, its an absolute different, too many sweet memories. I had one of my lunches in Carls Junior. We had always been having our dinner there usually at friday night before movie, but that day it was only me.
I am very confident that sometimes, i dont know when its gonna be, that we are all going to meet up again in Malysia and reexperience the life here.

I LOVE U ALL. . ..MISS U!!!!!!

Jakarta. . .Jakarta. . Jakarta

2008-09-05T01:04:00.000-07:00

Woke up at 9.30 had shower and with my mom went to "ole-ole Bali" to buy some stuff for my mom's friend in Jakarta. The time was around 11 o'clock and Robi came to my house to fetch me to the airport. My flight was 1 o'clock, i left home at 12 o'clock. Straight after my arrival at the airport, Robi went to the parking lot and I did my check in.

At 12.45 i was in the plane. The plane was quite nice, bigger and wider sit than AIR ASIA. The flight took 1.5 hours. Arrived in Jakarta and whilst i was waited for driver to come, all of the "taxi guy" was so annoying, came again and again asked me for taxi drive. FUCK HELL NO!!!! ARGHHHHHH!!!!.

Straight headed to my Bro's house and the trip was okay, not that much of traffic. Finally arrived at my bro's house and the house was kinda tiny "smaller than house in Malaysia ". Nothing to do and here i go, doing my blog!

Should've been updating this blog since last 4 days!

2008-09-03T08:38:00.000-07:00

Well, I've been back from the basketball tournament that was held in Negara, Jembrana since Sunday. This tournament was better than the one that we joint in Java. On the first place, we won the tournament and second of all I was part of the team, somehow a good improvement since on the previous tournament i wasn't.

The trip was started at 8 AM meet up in the basketball court (our daily basketball court), but INDONESIAN TIME will always rule the plan, so everyone gathered together around 9 o'clock. We straight away heading Jembrana, the journey took around 4 hours. I was in the same car with coach, and he told me "Indra kamu pake baju nomer 5" (Indra you wear jersey number 5). Yuhhuuuuu. . . .what a good start of a trip. Our first destination when we arrived at Jembrana was the basketball court. The basketball court was massive, it is an indoor court, with a spectacular lighting and crowd. Our second destination was the place where we were staying in, somehow it was a hotel but not as good as hotel. Our coach, separate us for who will be staying in one and different room.

After the room separation, we took our rest because later on around 9 PM we are going to against Sahabat (Team from Surabaya). At 8.30 we were heading back to the court and ready to rock the game. The result of the game was quite amazing, 62-34 and we won. Back to the "hotel" and went to their dream.

The second day of the trip was fired up when Dismas (our junior) knocked everybody's door room and woke us up, it was around 8 o'clock. We went to the restaurant and had a plate of simple "Nasi Goreng" served with two slices of cucumber and a piece of Krupuk. The day went on with a normal stuff, until then at 11 0'clock checked out from the hotel and headed the court for the second game.

The second game was against the home team and the result of the game was as good as yesterday. After this game, the winner of the tournament was announced and We "MERPATI" (our basketball team name) won the trophy and received the first place.

The drove home was longer than the going trip, the traffic was driving us crazy. When we arrived at the court (our daily basketball court), Robi and Yogie (My friend) picked me up and fetched me home.

This second trip from with the basketball team was amazing. Everyone of us becomes a family, and from time to time we are getting closer. This is what the real team should have been.

Sorry, no picture for this post. Pictures for this post will be soon posted, cuz' i should get it from one of my friends.

cheers

I'm going for another basketball tournament

2008-08-28T08:53:00.000-07:00

Just arrived from Java for the basketball tournament last two weeks and another tournament is coming up. The tournament will be held in the southern part of Bali (Negara), several teams will join in. The preparation for this tournament was not that much, today is the last day of preparation. We are heading Negara on this Saturday, 9 0'clock in the morning. Fourteen people will join this trip, but only twelve will be rocking the tournament. Our coach had not mention who are those people who will be on the team, he'll be telling us when we arrive at Negara. so, lets se, am i going to be part of the team??????????

Back to the court!!!!

2008-08-22T05:03:00.000-07:00

Since I'm back from my basketball trip in Java, my days seems empty. Until yesterday night, my Basketball friend texted me, that we were having a basketball training today. It's been almost a week that everyone of us did not touch the ball. Yesterday was the first time we trained, all of our physics drop, and everyone was so wasted. As usual, after the training we went to the Nasi Goreng near the basketball court, had puffs of cigarrete and chat. One of my basketball friends has never been going to club, so we made a plan that today we are going to once club and company him. So, let see what's going to happen today. . .

My Basketball try out

i'm so sexy"NOT"

I've been forcing my self so much at the basketball training and finally, I am part of the team, but i wasn't playing for this tournament and I was the team official.The trip was started in "Merpati's" basketball club at 08.00 o'clock. Our trip was heading to Java, specifically Pasuruan. We were invited to a basketball tournament that was held there, it joined by 4 teams that were us (merpati), Unibaya (Surabaya), Pasuruan (the home team) and last but not least Ubaya (The university who wins the university basketball league). We went to Java with a simple bus, enough for 40 people, but the sit was extremely small, that everyone of us couldn't straighten our feet. After been sitting at the bus for around 8 hours, finally we arrived at the hotel where we were spending most of our time. Our first match was held the first day we arrived there, and it was midnight, 1am. Our team was wasted since we were sitting at the bus for that such a long time so, we lost our first match. The good news came when I woke up on the second day, my coach said that for the official we are going to have a friendly match today. At 4 PM me and the other officials got ready and went to the court. Our opponent has waited for our arrival. The game was quite good, on the second quarter of the game we led 8 points from them , but at the end of the game we lost by two points. The second game of the team was very good, everyone was fired up and we won 32- 64. The third day was the hardest day since we should face the university who wins the indonesian university league. On the noon of the third day we went to "Jatim park", it's like dufan and got many games that are simmilar to Dufan. The third game was actually quite good, but in the first place we lost our players body postures. They were very tall, one of them was around 2 meters tall. We lost our 3rd game, but in generall we got the second position out of four teams.
Hanging out with those basketball guys were amazing, I learned a lot from this tryout. I really hope that I can join another one.

THIS TRY OUT ROCKS

Ngaben is well known all over the world, it is the Balinese tradition for the cremation of dead body. It was last 2 weeks that Christian and me went to Ubud, middle part of Bali, for the documentation of this big ceremony. This ceremony is the biggest Ngaben ceremony ever happened since now and then. The ceremony includes, the creation of the big statue, it was 28 meters tall and 11 tons of weight. The dead body will be placed on the top of the statue and brought to the cemetry and ready to be burnt. It was one of the events of "Visit Indonesia 2008". Thousands of photographers were there with the huge lenses and it was only me and Christian that wore short sighted lenses. It was very fun and tiring, in the end i got whole lot of photos and went back home quite late.

Bali. . Bali. . Bali

2008-07-31T22:26:00.000-07:00

Many things have been going on since my arrival in Bali, hometown. I surfed not that much, very rarely went to the beach, but focus much more on my basketball training. The basketball training was quite fun, met lot of old friends, ran like hell, and my lung burns like shit. Last week, my friends, JEJE and DICE came here from KL and had a relaxing days. We explored most of the tourism places in Bali, we went clubbing several of times and as a result me and my friend were wasted so much, we couldn't even go back home and luckily Jeje was there and she drove my friend's car to my house. That day, my friend and I drank quite a lot, it was a bottle of Smirnoff and only two of us finished it. My days here are not much, most likely only spending my time at home and doing nothing. My nights are always busy, basketball, partying, meet up with old friends, hanging out here and there. Since i just finished my pre-university and going for my uni, i should wait for four months for the intake and these four months are driving me crazy. This is the longest holiday i ever have in my whole life. Spending my time here make me miss Malaysia so much, everything from Malaysia, the workload, the college, friends, and everything.

12 days of my Holiday

2008-06-25T06:35:00.000-07:00

It has been the 12 days spending my time in Bali my home town. Nothing much happening at the moment, no good waves but only family, friends and the nature of Bali. Last month I got my operation on my food, and it makes a deep cut right under my foot. Thought that its going to get worst if it gets into the water, but that day, i went to the beach and my passion for sea water was just overcoming my body to stop walking towards the water. Now, the cut almost recover fully and i keep on surfing. The wave today and yesterday and the day before yesterday and so on were not as what I expected. The strong wind that blows form Australia towards Asia destroyed the waves. The wind made the water becomes very shaky and the shape of the wave unable me to ride the wave as usual. For all of my friends especially in Malaysia, i miss u so much.

SORRY NO PICTURE FOR THIS POST, BALI'S CONNECTION IS TOO SLOW

Life in Bali for the first and second week of Holiday

2008-06-23T07:23:00.000-07:00

well, here its me again. After couple of weeks had not updating my blog, finally i got this time to put something new on my blog. I arrived in Bali at 14th June, on a day flight. In the same plane with Patricia, where else Calvin, Ganesh and Ronald (Friends from Malaysia) were in the different flight. When arrived at the airport my mom, dad and sister picked me and my friends, and Patricia was picked by her father. Our first destination after airport was my house. I introduced my friends to my mom and dad, then brought them to their hotel. The hotel was near the beach, so we managed to go to the beach and spent a bit of time there. Since i got a surgery on my left foot, I couldn't join them to walk on the sand and enjoyed the water, well i just sat under the tree and enjoyed the sun setting. They were in Bali for 6 days and i brought them to almost all of popular place in Bali. Aha.... the best part was the night when we were mushrooming. we started mushrooming quite early, around 9 o'clock so that we could get rid of it faster. The mushroom was just perfect and amazing, everyone laughed at nothing and stared at nothing. Days out with hem were amazing, had lot of funs, and good foods. Even tough, the first week I'm in Bali, i couldn't really spent lot of times with family, but it is a pleasure for me to spent lot of times with them. Now, i'm doing nothing in Bali. Really wanna surf, but the wave is not that good, since a strong wind is blowing everywhere and it destroys the waves. Its an absolute different life here and just enjoy it.

I'm Free

2008-06-05T23:44:00.000-07:00

I wrote on my previous post, that I promise i'm going t post a new things about me after my exams are done. And here it goes, i just finished my exams yesterday and now i'm free.

Nothing much should be done, just chilling, hanging out with friends and spend time together. Whilst the examination, it was so stressing, every single day i was studying and slept for a bit, mostly were studying. History was on Tuesday, International Business was on Wednesday, and Economic my last paper was on Thursday. Since history was my first exam, I put my main focus on studying the world war I&II. Mr. Hanna my history teacher was keep on telling us that the exam will mainly comes from the chapter of World War I&II and Industrial revolution, i really focus on those chapters and what went out on the exam was exactly different, it came from the whole book (chapter 1 till the end). Luckily, i still remember some of the things from the first chapter and i can answered most of the questions. The international business exam was the easiest among the other, he gave us a review and we were all studying the review and the exam was all from that. Economic, thought it's gonna be a killer paper, but after all it was not really a tough paper. Now, everything's, i'm gonna spend my whole time here in Malaysia, juts hanging out with friends, and I dont know . .ill do everything. . .

sorry no picture for this pose!!

Thought that Thursday will be a day out for me, but what was really happening was killing me. I had to stay home until around 8 o'clock because no one wanted to go anywhere. Finally, around 8 Pm, me , Christia, Christian, Steven and Patricia went to Sunway Piramid Mall. Arrived there, we straight away went to Wendy's. It had been 7 years for me not eating Wendy's. When I was a kid, my favorite menu was the "cheese and cheese baked potato". Since I'm on diet rite now, so I only ordered cheese and cheese baked potato, french fries and a medium size coke while the other ordered the same menu as mine PLUS a burger. After had our dinner, we went to Jusco Groceries and everyone bought their own thing. I bought 3 boxes of milk, shampoo, some kind of crackers, and Cheese.

It was very nice to hang around there. . .as it was my released of stress time.

Today, I didn't put that much of writing because according to the survery, most people say that my blogspot is kind of boring. . . hehehe. . trying to improve it dou!!

After played about 1 hour or less, we were getting bored and we finished the game .We went to the car and got no real direction to go then Shaogi asked us wethere if we wanna go to Klana Jaya! rather than go back home, we agreed to go there.

The place was quite far, around 30 minutes from Subang,when we arrived there we were amazed by the buildings, lights, and the organized places of building. It was almost the same as Singapore. The bridge was amazing, the design was very unique with all those fancy stuff on top of the bridge, it was just amazing. The hundred killometers of road were empty with no one crossed it. It was just seems to be like our own town.

I hope that KL could be like that. If KL is as organized as Klana Jaya, Malaysia will be the most developed country in ASEAN and I will be happy to stay here. . . hehe

Horay. . its Friday and most of my assignments are done. Yesterday was hell busy day and I was afraid if I couldn't complete all. It was so many, from the poster, essay, poem and presentation.

I woke up on the right time today, showered, dressed up and went to college. On my first class, history, i got my presentation about "perspective on the industrial revolution". The class was divided into 5 group as there were five person who was presenting different topic. After around 20 minutes of presentation, everyone was done discussing and explaining about their topic. Mr. Hanna, my history teacher said that he was impressed with all the presentation, so today he dismissed the class 30 minutes earlier. Well, rather than doing nothing while waiting for the next class, me , Christia, Christian, Ahmed, Mehdi, and Steven went to Mc Donald to had our breakfast. Most of them only had small breakfast like ice cream (it is a breakfast for us), and tea, but me and Christian had fillet o fish burger. Right, after we just finished eating, the time for next class was popping on my phone.

Economic Class, nuthing special about it. We onlly did a small exercise of calculating things, but the calculation was 100000000km long. After a long journey of running through the sheet of calculation, the economic class was over and next class was English class.

In English class, everyone of us read a poem with the topic of discrimination that was downloaded ftom the net and we should gave an explanation regarding those poem and why we choose it. Mine was fine, with a deep emotion while reading it ( DE. . .) and the other were also fine, but there was one of my chinese friend went infront of the class without paper or anything (what the fuck is he doing??) and suddenly he was rapping. It was an awesome rapped, he was rapping "Eminem" song which was "mockingbird". . . .Cool stuff aye. . .

After English class, I got my lunch time. Me, the groupies (Ronald, Kim, Steven, and Calvin) and Salman ( sometimes he follow us) went to Asia Cafe. Well, I took some pictures (above pictures) . Nuthing much happened there, only a normal lunch break.

IB class as usual has nothing special. Note taking, small case study or movie and class was dismissed.
About 1 hour of IB class, the class was finished and It's CAO time.

IT'S FRIDAY. .FRIDAY I'M IN LOVE

Fiuh. . finally Thursday has passed and it was freaking busy day. On Wednesday, it ought Thursday is going to be a relax day when I can take time for my own self, but what really happened was exactly different from my expectation. I got so many assignments to do which resulted I spent three out of four of my day in college. I was staying in library since my class finished, it was about 02.30. I went to the library type everything needed to be paste on the poster and printed everysingle tihing out. As I got the printed paper, I should cut it down and paste it into the yellow, green or red color paper to make it look fancier. It took about 2 hours to cut and paste down thing, and it was quite fast because Christia help me to did it. After the printed papers are pasted on the coloured paper i should arranged the color papers with the printed papers on the most proper place on the big black hard carton. Afterall, it took about 4 hours for me to finished the poster. It was supposed to be a group project, but as I didn't have any team to work with so I did it alone. I neve put this much of effort on doing a poster in my life.

It was around 6 o'clock I finished everything about the poster and directly I sat in front of the computer and searched a poem with the topic of discrimination for my English Subject homework. As I found it, I should analyze it and made some kind of note for the explanation that I will give in the presentation tommorow. Well, wasted of doing all those things, me and Christia decided to had our dinned in Asia Cafe. We had kind of tofu soup dinner, which was quite nice and healthy because one it was a tofu (no meat), the soup had no taste ( which mean no chemical added), and lastly it was a SOUP (not fried food).. . . heehehehe

Arrived at home, I Showered and again i sat infront of my laptop and did my Essay which explains further about the poster that I made. Next, it was a history presentation preparation, actually I did everything for this presentation from the day before but today I edited and jotted down notes to help me while presenting tommorow.

Tommorow is seems to be like the whole presentation day for all subjects and it's killing me. .
Thanks for everyone that helped me while doing all of my assignments. .
Horay. . today is friday and FRIDAY I'M IN LOVE

Ronald, Kim, Calvin
Me and Ronald
Naima and the Group's Presentation
I refilled it for 3 times

Horay. . finally after about 3 days not updating my blog, i got an opportunity to do so. It had been a very busy days, tests and assignments. On Monday it was only a normal day without nothing special, but I ate Mc Donald which is my desire since last 2 2 weeks, on Saturday it was a rushed day becaus I woke up very late and made me to rush in the morning which affected my whole day. Today is quite relax because I finished most of my assignments and just did my History test.

Actually it had been my desire to eat Mc Donald since last 2 weeks, but I always went to Asia cafe to had my lucnh, and on Monday it was a miracle because one of my friend (Ronald) asked to eat in Mc Donald, and with great excitement we went there. I ate chicken wrap, which was quite nice. I was amazed when Ronald told me that we have bottomless coke in Mc Donald and so I refilled my coke for about 3 times the large cup size... ."maximize the use of our resource ( as Mr. Moaz my economic teacher said)". After had my lucnh in Mc Donald, I went for my IB class and Naima got her presentation, it was a nice presentation. Well, mostly that was all happened on Monday.

On tuesday, I woke up late which caused me to rushed up to go to college and it influenced my whole day. College, nothing special. After college, I went to library and studied for my history test. I memorized like 15 old stupid historical people name and charateristics, 10 of historical events and etc. I put lot of effort on it because I'm aware if the test is going to be hard.

On wednesday, the history test day. I sat for the test on my first period (08.00) and everything was going well. It wasn't as hard as what I expected and all those 15 stupid historical people that I memorized were useless because on the test it only asked one person, so the other 14 people were such a waste of my brain power. Hopefully evrything is going well untill now.

Update another posting soon.

2008-04-05T09:08:00.000-07:00

The day was started by 12.oo clock when I woke up. Straight away after woke up, i went to the kitchen and made my lunch which was fried rice. It was okay, normal taste. Keep on doing nothing besides explored the net and read "Chicken Soup" book untill 6.30 Pm.

Me , Dirga, Christian, Niko, and Patricia went to the college to see "Dance Quake" event. It was an event arranged by the Taylor's Petaling Jaya Mass Communication Student. The main purpose of the event was fund raising for the education of children. The event was started around 7.30 by two chinese guys performing "bored" and continue with the other groups which amazed me so much. There were 12 groups joined the event, some were very good and some were the worst i ever seen.. Most of them were performing street dance combined with RnB, lot of the dancers were very elastic. They fold their body into varieties of shape, backflip, handstand, head stand and etc.

For Jeje: It was an amazing event that I never expect it'll be as good as that

Around 11 o'clock, the event was finished by the anouncement of the best group performed, but we left earlier and we went to Asia Cafe to had our dinner. Ate, Chilled, And Chatted there, and we went back home.

Friday I'm in Love

2008-04-04T04:41:00.000-07:00

I don't care if monday's blue
Tuesday's grey and wednesday too
Thursday i don't care about you
It's friday i'm in love
Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday wednesday break my heart
Thursday doesn't even start
It's friday i'm in love

Saturday wait
And sunday always comes too late
But friday never hesitate...

I don't care if monday's black
Tuesday wednesday heart attack
Thursday never looking back
It's friday i'm in love

Monday you can hold your head
Tuesday wednesday stay in bed
Or thursday watch the walls instead
It's friday i'm in love

Saturday wait
And sunday always comes too late
But friday never hesitate...

Dressed up to the eyes
It's a wonderful surprise
To see your shoes and your spirits rise
Throwing out your frown
And just smiling at the sound
And as sleek as a shriek
Spinning round and round
Always take a big bite
It's such a gorgeous sight
To see you eat in the middle of the night
You can never get enough
Enough of this stuff
It's friday
I'm in love

The Cure

After College

The Cutting thingi for the poster

After 4 tiring college days, finally it is Friday. It is a nice day because, first it is Friday, second I did well in my IB team presentation, third I finished the whole assignments for next week, forth the economic conference with the teacher was going very well.Even tough I didn't get enough sleep for today because I went out with my friend till 3 o'clock, but I woke up on the morning with full spirit and happiness. Friday is just different from the other 6 days, it is the best day.

International Business presentation was going well without any doubt while presenting. My friends, Naima and Walter were asking 5 fucking hard questions that I almost unable to answer but hopefully I answered it with the right answer. The slide created by us, but edited by Christian and Patricia was awesome, with the funny and intereseting background. The team for this presentation were all the Indonesian student and we approved to the whole class that Indonesian students are outstanding in their presentation skill" kiddin" . Btw, everything was going well in the class.

The assignment for next week had been done by today, economic corporate structure poster, and 2 other small assignments are done. I did the poster with my friend (pink shirt), we did it not that serious more to the joking part but after all everything was done nicely. Before we started doing the poster, I was doing nothing but sitting in front of the computer. She suddenly came from no where and without any reason she"wen yi" put off her weirdo awkward unique heel sandals ( Heel sandals????), my habit will never changed that is to annoyed people. I took her sandals, ran away and i put it on top of the library's cupboard. Proudly I went back to my chair and I saw her with only one sandal, so I took the picture, we laughed until her friend found the other pair of her sandal. After all those joking time, the serious part started by printing pictures from the web, cut it, colored it and finally arranged it in proper order. About 5.30PM we finished the whole thing and it was a "cao" time.

The economic conference was also going very well, I prepared so much from 3 days before so there was no problem with it. Mr. Moaz looked at my research notes and gave his feedback about how am I doing on this project. The feedback is quite nice thou. . even tough i expect better comment from him rather than that. My researches were almost 50 pages and I summarized it into point form to 3 pages note. I should just do a bit more research and I can start to write on my essay which will be bombastic. wahahahah. . .

After all that happened today, it's a lovely day and

There was no wind neither rain, but god has called you to his kingdom. My best basketball coach I ever had "Fery Kurniawan" rest in peace. It's just seems as yesterday we met, I still remember the day when you were coaching the whole team with whole lot of spirit, cigarette in your hand, and your mini basketball shirt on. What has happened to you is just something that I couldn't believe it's really happening. You're a nice guy, passionate, full of understanding and tough, but God wanted you to be there and justify everything. May you be accepted by his side and rest in peace.

Nerd Day

2008-04-03T03:43:00.001-07:00

Me and Wai Kit
With the different pose
Don't punch my friend
Proud of being me

Another amazing day, it was a "nerd vs cool" dress up theme for the day. As usual at first, I didn't dress the way I am in the photos, but before entering my last class (International Business) I met Wai Kid on the corridor and he was wearing his pant and shirt in the nerdy style. I was inspired by him, so i pulled up my pants as high as it can, tugged in my shirt and wore my specs to be the real nerd.

We entered the class, then everyone was laughing ( that's what I always did in IB class). Got nothing special during the period, but only I felt the joy of being a nerd by dressed up in this way. Even tough it wasn't comfortable, especially part near the d**k because it was too tight on that part, I still enjoyed it.

I wasn't the most nerd today, there were lot of other students that more insane than me. They wore the big old school specs, school uniform, socks were pulled up to the knee, hair was arranged in such a way and etc.

It's a fun week, and tomorrow there is one day left which is a traditional day. I think, I'm not going to wear any special uniform tomorrow cuz I don't have one. Tommorow will be a busy day, Economic Project, economic Corporate Structure Assignment and International Business Group Presentation. The happy thing about it, tommorow is Friday, chilling day without any studying stuff ruining my day. . .hehehehe

Interesting days

2008-04-02T00:34:00.000-07:00

While my hair was shaved

Mess on the table, Economic stuffs

My English class
Backward style
Best Barber Shop
Disgusting Table

All of the pictures above were taken yesterday, it was an interesting college and personal day. For the whole week, some random college's organization is making a fancy clothing week which require everyone of us to dress up according to theme of the day. On Monday, it was a "back to school day" where everyone of us supposed to wear our old school uniform, but since I'm an international student, i didn't bring my old school uniform so i dressed normally. Yesterday was a "backwards" day, we wore our clothes on the opposite side, the inner side of shirt will be outside or front part of the shirt be the back side. At first, i didn't dressed up as the "backward" style, but when I arrived in college I saw Calvin wear his shirt in "backward" style, me and Christian went to the toilet and straight away reverse our clothe to the "backward" style. Yesterday I also had my hair shaved off, it was the first time in Malaysia I went to that kind of barbershop. It was a "macha" barber shop, the seats were still the old style where it can't be move, there were not lot of spaces there, the essences of Indian weird perfume mixed with chicken curry smells made me feels like puking. The barber shop was very dirty, the floor was full of hair and mustache and everything, but I didn't really care because it's kind of cheap about 6 RM. Today is a "formal" day, lot of guys are dressed in suits and girls are dressed in gowns, I didn't have those kind of clothing, so again I wore dressed normally.

Those are the happy story for the past 2 days and now, and the sad (not that sad) story, I got an assignment, which is a research for my Economic biggest project of the semester (ISU). Now, I'm still reading all those information that i got from the net, hope that I can finish it by today, coz I should write a report about it and handed it on Friday.

Any comment. . .just post it!!!
hehehe. . .
xoxoxo

Desperately Bored

2008-03-30T07:52:00.000-07:00

For the whole day i was being bored, i got nothing to do but only history assignment which i had been doing over and over again. Since, today is Sunday I woke up quite late around 12 o'clock by the knocking sound came from my door which was Dirga.

Confused about what to do, so i was sitting on the couch while waiting for the food to be done by Dirga. The food was quite nice, some random meat, with potato and a bowl of soup mixed with lot of vegetables. After had my lunch, I showered did nothing untill 6 o'clock. On 6 o'clock mine and Christian stomach started to make sound and my stomach told my brain that baby stomach is hungry, so I started to cook. With the helped of Christian in the making of soup, everything went sucessful, nice food.

From the morning till right now which is around 11 Pm I'm wondering if i got my laptop here, this boredom shit will not be my companion for the whole day, but what could be done. . my laptop is still in acer service centre because the screen is kind of fucked up, the screen couldn't be adjust from one angle to another.

Today, I just realized that my college long holiday is not that far. I was expecting that it will be very long, but as I looked at the college holiday schedule it's only 2 and half month left from today to the holiday. Horeeee. . . . .

Tommorow I got classes, so I better go to sleep and dreaming about what's going to be happen if I'm in bali and also dreaming about you all. . ..

The last thing I would like to thanks NICO AFRIONALDI for the laptop that he lended to me. . . . . .

Sorry, this blog is not including any photo coz it is a bored day and there is no photo being taken. . .
