HAPPY NEW YEAR 2007!!

At the time I'm starting to write this, it's not New Year's yet at my place, but it might already be when I end this post.. depends on how long or short it's gonna be.

fiuh.. been a loooong time I haven't post in English. I dunno..in these last couple of months, I just felt like expressing myself in Bahasa Indonesia, but then I rarely blog anyway :p haha

I just watched some of the special shows in sync with New Year's Eve. There were some Box Office Indonesian Films, like "Heart" and "Apa Artinya Cinta?". Good thing I didn't think about spending my money on those movies at the cinema, cuz I just watched 'em FREE on TV, hahaha :D (pelit banget ya gw?) Talking about movies, I want to watch "Happy Feet" at the cinema, but I don't know with whom I should go, it's not alotta fun going to the movies by urself.

Well..anyway, after watching "Heart" there were some scenes where I cried, but then some scenes (in my opinion) aren't necessary. And for "Apa Artinya Cinta?" well..lots of scenes went realllllllyyyyyy sloooooowwwww...

WAIT A SEC....!!!!


12:00 AM (WIB)
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2007 FOR THE WESTERN PART OF INDONESIA (WIB)!!!!!!

(back to the topic)

well lots of the scenes in "Apa Artinya Cinta?" went sooo slow I could've fallen asleep, if I didn't change the channel. I just hope that, in the future, the Indonesian cinema industry can come up with movies that have better plots and better flow of scenes. What I've seen from Hollywood and Disney's cartoons that made it big in the Box Office in the USA, is that:

1. good concept and plot
2. the development of the story and characters are smooth through out each scene
3. scenes connect smoothly
4. lots of movies that are touchy (menyentuh, bikin terharu gitu lohh!)
5. the movies have morals in 'em

Now, Indonesian movies are finding it hard to do that. Maybe it's because of the market that makes them Production House produce movies without paying attention to the real essence of movies. And usually movies in Indonesia follows the movies that came out before (latah).. like there was a time frame of lovey-dovey-teen-drama movies then another period where it was all horror (like at the end of 2006, just this December 2006, it was all HORROR!!) They just can't make a movie without thinking of money, they can't make a movie with moral inside, can they?

I mean even cartoons..those Americans and Japanese really put their heart and head to it. There's a message that u can take from those cartoons, and the scenes are well-arranged. I think "movie people" in Indonesia still need to study more in making good movies.

Sometime in the near future, I'd like to see a movie at the cinema where it takes up a "touchy" topic that can be taken from peoples' lives happening in the local area, that is... from inside Indonesia itself, but no big mansions, luxurious cars, and all those other lux things involved. Topics that happen normally in Indonesia, taking up the positive side not the negative. Like there were some Box Office movies (which're lame in my opinion) where it exposed the dark and negative side of living in a metropolitan area like Jakarta, which is the capital city where, as they say, have become "modernized", haha BS.. what the heck is "modernized"?? I say it's Westernized, not modernized.. Western stuff does not mean modern.. Sorry for all the Westerners out there, I just feel sad for the Indonesian people who have lost their culture. Those people who have forgotten how being "People of the East" really is.. blinded by the bling-blings of the Western world.

Oh yeah..and another thing that's been bothering my mind...
MALAYSIA QUIT SAYING OUR STUFF IS YOURS!!! F@#*!!!
Kebaya is from INDONESIA.. Angklung is from INDONESIA.. Gamelan is from INDONESIA..
QUIT claiming OUR stuff is yours....!!!! *sheesh* Where the heck is your brain man, taking other people's stuff.. *bleh*

Graduation..

gw lupa pengumuman.. tgl 25 November 2006 gw Wisuda!! I have graduated from college, and have gained a S.Kom = Sarjana Baskom eh..salah.. Sarjana Komputer, huehehehe..

Retno Nindya Prastiwi, SE & Mutiardani Roosnauli, S.Kom

Shioookkk!!!!

No..bukan Shiok nama resto di PIM 1 deket 21-nya.. bukan itu tapi SHOCK beneran gw.. :-O
O_o!

hadooohhh.. Aa Gym, saya kuciwa dengan Anda.. ampe hari ini gw tetep antara percaya dan ga percaya.. ternyata seorang Ustadz juga bisa MUNAFIK yee, X-( hanya manusia biasa.

Gw inget omongan dia, waktu diminta ibu2 yg dengerin ceramahnya, "Aa jangan kawin lagi yaa..!"

Truz, Aa Gym bilang, "Aa mah ga bisa deh kalo poligami.." or something like that.. intinya, dia ga ada keinginan berpoligami-ria.

eeehhh..ini..malah kejadian.. katenye sih, laki2 yg deket2 umur 40 tuh "puber ke-2", halah Bull!! udah Teh Ninih-nya cantique, alim, putih, bae, istri yg bae, ibu yg bae tuk anak2nya, duh sempurna deh..eh malah ngelirik yg lain yg putih juga.. :x pusying dah -.-!

Gw cuma kasian ama Teh Ninihnya.. di infotainment kemaren (Senin, 4 Des. 2006) Teh Ninih bilang dia ikhlas suaminya nikah lagi, tapi sebagai seorang wanita, wanita mana sih yg ga sedih suaminya nikah lagi sama wanita lain? Teh Ninih cuma minta kepada pemirsa tuk mendoakan dia agar bisa melewati semua ini, namanya juga cobaan, setiap cobaan dari Allah pasti ada hikmahnya. Walopun Teh Ninih bicara-nya tegar sekali, tapi bisa diliat dari matanya udah berkaca2, kayak mo nangis, mata tak bisa berbohong.

Kalo gw yg jadi Teh Ninih mah, udah gw maki2 tuh Aa Gym. Yaa..masa' Teh Ninih yg selama ini mendampingi, dr nol sampe bisa jadi success sekarang, di-dua-in gitu, kerja kerasnya Teh Ninih sebagai seorang wanita, seorang istri dan seorang ibu selama ini, dr jamannya Aa Gym masih bandel sampe jadi alim, dari ga punya apa2 sampe punya perusahaan besar & ponpes, dari bukan siapa2 sampe jadi orang terkenal di seluruh nusantara, selama ini Teh Ninih yg dengan setia mendampingi. Like the English proverbs say, "Behind every GREAT Man, there's a GREAT Woman." Suksesnya sang suami, tergantung pada istrinya.

Gw sih ga sudi.. istilahnya.. gw yg selalu di sisi lo selama ini, gw yg support lo selama ini, sukses yg lo capai sampe segini... sekarang yg nikmatin cewe laen?!?!?! KURANG AJARRRRRR!!!!! Brengsek.. X-( X-( X-(

Tapi kocak juga, di salah 1 infotainment kemaren, pas cerita tentang Aa Gym & his second marriage, background song-nya by Ratu yaitu "LELAKI BUAYA DARAT".. bwahahahaha.. mampussss....

Kamis, 2 November 2006
2:30 AM
Gw terbangun dr tidur tuk buang air kecil... abis itu balik ke kamar mo tidur lagi... tiba2... koq mual ya? pengen muntah, perut ga enak.. ya sudah, pergi ke lantai bawah tuk bikin teh en laporan ke Ibu. Ibu nemenin gw yg minum teh manis hangat en kemudian minum obat (Antangin). ga lama setelah itu, mual bangetttt ga tahan.. akhirnya ke WC dan keluarlah sebagian isi perut lewat mulut (alias muntah sodara-sodara). keluar dr WC (krn berpikir udah muntah nih 1x) minum teh lagi en Antangin. eeehh.. malah muntah lagi + mencret (excuse the language) abis itu mencret lagi beberapa kali, truz muntah 1x lagi (total 3x muntah sampe sini). sekitar 3:30 AM merasa agak enakan setelah minum teh manis hangat (Antangin-nya ga diminum lagi karena takut muntah lagi -.-! )


3:30 AM
Gw tidur lagi


5:30 AM
Gw di tempat tidur ngerasa perut kosong. kemudian berpikir "Mungkin laper kali ye? Karena tadi muntah isi perut keluar semua.." jadi gw turun lagi ke lantai bawah bikin roti. selembar roti dengan selai strawberry dan juga bikin teh manis hangat lagi. baru 1 gigitan ntuh roti, perut ngerasa ga enak lagi.. tapi tetep mencoba memakan, dan habislah selembar roti itu dengan bantuan teh tuk ngedorong rotinya ke dalam tenggorokan.. tiba2 mual lagi..ga tahan... buru2 ke WC dan muntah lagi.. (total 4x muntah sampe sini) dan juga mencret lagi..


7:30 AM
setelah beberapa kali lagi mencret, merasa agak mendingan, sms Nurul tuk minta maaf ga bisa dateng ke tempat janjian karena sakit, Nurul bales dgn nelpon. Nurul (yg calon dokter alias anak kuliahan FK) bilang banyak2 minum air & dibantu dengan oralit, kalo udah bisa makan, coba makan bubur dan/atau pisang. ya sudah saya ikuti. untung buburnya bisa masuk, udah ga ngerasa mual lagi. abis itu tidurrrr...

selang-seling antara tidur dan ke WC mencret..
(total 4x muntah, dan mencret tak terhitung, dah lebih dr 10x mungkin)

11:00 AM
ke WC lagi mencret.. abis keluar dr WC, tadinya tiduran di sofa depan TV, karena agak puyeng pas di WC kayak orang mo pingsan, gw memutuskan tuk berbaring di kamar Ibu-nya yg lebih deket ma WC. Ibu dateng tuk kasih oralitnya tuk diminum plus 1 botol air putih. kemudian gw minta Ibu pegang leher, TERNYATA!!! DEMAM sodara-sodara... yeah, I got a fever.. karena tadinya dikira getting better pas pagi2 skitar jm7/ jm8, ga jadi dibawa ke dokter. tapi karena pas siang itu panas, diputuskan tuk dibawa ke dokter.


12:20 PM
Arrival at the clinic... sampe di klinik kantornya bokap (di kantornya bokap tersedia fasilitas kesehatan [klinik]) dan beberapa menit kemudian ditanya ama suster knapa, lalu masuklah gw ke Ruang Emergency. karena lagi jm istirahat, dokternya ndak ada di tempat. setelah susternya telpon dokterya, ternyata dokternya lagi di Masjid. dan Pak Dokter bilang (setelah diceritakan kondisi sang pasien bernama Mutia) kayaknya langsung dirawat aja deh, kayaknya perlua dirawat di Rumah Sakit!! Gw shock ngedengernya! masa' cuma karena diare, gw di rumahsakit-kan?!?! -.-! Kata suster begitu, kecuali mo nunggu dokternya dateng ke ruangan. Mom & I said mo nunggu dokternya. setelah dokter dateng & periksa, beliau bilang hal yg sama, kemungkinan perlu dirawat, karena orang yg gemuk lebih cepat kehilangan cairan tubuh kalo diare....
kemudian Pak Dokter berpikir sesaat..
......
.........
"Atau kamu mau coba di rumah dulu dengan dikasih obat dr sini & minum air yg banyak? Tapi di-infus aja dulu disini.. Gimana?"

Gw berpikir...saling liat2an dgn Ibu.. "Ya udah deh Dok, infus aja.."

aihhiaihaihaihiahia.... O_o! atu tatut jayum!!!
alias.. AKU TAKUT JARUM!!!
tapi daripada gw harus nginep di RS, bikin repot orang.. infus aja deh.. toh kalo ke RS bakal di-infus juga. lagian gw udah berpikir pagi2, pas Nurul bilang harus minum yg banyak biar ga dehidrasi, krn klo dehidrasi bisa shock dan kemudian pingsan!! pada saat itu gw mikir..kayaknya cara paling cepet masukin cairan ke tubuh lewat infus deh, karena kalo minum air (lewat mulut) kalo kebanyakan, eneg juga en bisa mual lagi..

jadilah gw memakai infus..karena langsung dikasih 500 cc & tetesan infusnya dicepetin, jadi pengen buang air kecil! sumpe de kebelet banget gw, padahal cairan infusnya tinggal dikit lagi..tapi tetep gw tunggu cairan abis, ampe darah gw naik ke selang infus!! baru deh, suster copot infusnya, dan saya bisa ke WC dgn tenang. sakit kepalanya yg bikin mo pingsan ilang bo'! tp ga 100% ilang sih, masih agak2 nyut2an dikit. jadi setelah dr WC & udah slese di-infus-pun, gw tetep rebahan di Ruang Emergency, nungguin bokap gw pulang kantor. abis stlh di-infus, udah sore gituh, sekalian aja pulang ma bokap, toh kliniknya di komplek perkantoran bokap.

lucunya, pas hari Jumat gw sehat seperti biasa!! kagak ada mual2 lagi!! aneh bin ajaib, gw sembuh!! tapi sakit perih2 dikit masih ada di perut ampe sekarang (Minggu malem).

well doakan saya yaaa teman2.. agar cepet sembuh 100% keadaan membaik. ini juga obatnya masih ada yg harus diminum sih, jadi masih harus nunggu Senin atau Selasa tuk pulih bener. haduh..cobaan.. coba-aaaan... ckckck... ada2 aja penyakit sehari gawat bangete, hari berikutnya ok ok aje -.-! aneh...

i-ring insof & Ramadhan

The results were out last night (Friday, September 22nd, 2006) on Jak TV at 8:30 PM. It was the Finals for the Greater Jakarta Area. "Pick Up the Phone" won 1st place!! Emang hebat... tapi lucunya pencipta lagunya terinspirasi gara2 waktu itu, he tried to call his girlfriend but she wouldn't pick it up!! ^^;

But then..of course lagu paporit (favorit) gw dong...Asta's song "Pandangan Pertama" got 2nd place!! CONGRATULATIONS AND CELEBRATIONS!!

"Pandangan Pertama" was written by Asta (Astono Andoko - CS2009) together with his friends Anindyo Baskoro & Rayi Putra (these last 2 aren't from Binus International). But then, when they were on stage to perform last night (selain Asta) there were other BI students performing together... Adisti Putri Bramanti (CS2007) on keyboard and Arya "Lale" (CS2009) on guitar. This proves that BI students are not only smart academically but also musically. (actually we've a concrete evidence of that already: Gya, Bams of The Samsons, and Ryan [if I'm not mistaken] of Omelet sorry if I got any of your names wrong here) cieee.. Adisti disorot camera melulu lho!! hehe..

Congratulations to Asta and friends! Keep on being creative and wish u luck for the next song fest :D

Oh ya! And another thing..tonight Moslems all over the world will start praying tarawih which means Ramadhan will start tomorrow and we Moslems will start fasting... The Indonesian way to say it is.. "Mohon maaf lahir batin." Please forgive me for all my faults and if I said anything that hurt you. May Allah SWT bless us all in this holy month of Ramadhan.

Congrats once again to Asta and friends... And hope for all my brothers and sisters here who are fasting, Allah SWT will pour His blessings down upon us in this coming month of Ramadhan. Also to my brothers and sisters in campus, hopefully we can have another "Break the Fast and Sahur on the Road" event again like last year. BMS please arrange it ;)

Kampung Hijau Mampang

Beberapa hari yg lalu gw nonton O Channel acara dki'15. Tentang Kampung Hijau Mampang (di daerah Mampang Prapatan, JakSel). Hebat bener deh.. Dalam kurun waktu 7 bulan, udah dapet predikat "Kampung Hijau"!!

Jadi di RW 003 Mampang Prapatan, sampah basah & sampah kering dipisah. Sampah basah dijadiin compost. Sampah kering (seperti plastik) dijadiin art craft, jadi warganya bikin aneka craft dan dijual (dapet duit deh!).

Jadi ini ada kerjasama ama pihak swasta dan juga pemerintah setempat and of course warganya lah! Jadi dari pihak swasta ada pelatihan untuk:

• Penghijauan
• Pembilahan sampah
• Komposter

Jadi semua warga dilatih how to recycle and stuff, and try to make their neighborhood "more green". Mereka juga menanam beranekaragam tanaman. Dari tanaman2 buah, buah2nya dipanen. Hasil panennya dipakai untuk usaha warga, seperti puding buah yg kemudian dijual (dapet duit lagi deh!).

Gw salut banget ama RW ini.. bener deh.. I've never seen anything like that in Indonesia, let alone Jakarta! ^^;

Gw pengen se-Jakarta dan kalo bisa se-Indonesia pada bisa begitu semua. Kalo bisa, ga hanya Recycle, but ALL the 3 Rs, that is:

• Reduce
• Reuse
• Recycle

Reduce would mean, mengurangi pemakaian barang2 yg sulit untuk recycle. Reuse, menggunakan ulang benda2, seperti kantong plastik dari swalayan bisa digunakan ulang tuk plastik sampah. Recycle, mengolah kembali barang yg tak digunakan. Mis: sampah basah, seperti sampah dapur (potongan sayuran) diolah lagi menjadi pupuk compost atau kaleng2 minuman soda bisa didaur ulang jadi kaleng baru lagi.

Kalo waktu gw doeloe tinggal di Amrik, dari kecil (SD kalo ga salah) anak2 itu udah diajarin tentang "The 3 Rs", jadi orang bule sono udah terbiasa dengan hal2 begitu. Semua itu adalah kebiasaan sih dan juga knowledge. Jadi kayaknya perlu juga sosialisasi tentang awareness of the environment and nature di sekolah. Yach..itu harapan gw..semoga saja di Indonesia tercinta ini bisa terwujud :)

excited~

Tadi pagi gw nonton berita.. Ada tentang pertandingan tennis di Bali, Wismilak International. Banyak peteni Indonesia yg berguguran di medan perang (lho? medan perang maen tenis maxudnye) tinggal ANgelique Wijaya yg bisa kita harapkan ^^

Tapi baru kali ini gw nonton berita ampe ketawa2 ga jelas gitu loh.. Jadi begini ceritanya... kameranya kan nyorot pertandingannya truz sesekali nyorot ke penonton. Nih pas nyorot ke penonton yg ada di samping lapangan (bukan di ujung2 deket pemain) lucu banget deh.. Disorotnya lammaaaa banget..gw ampe heran, pas gw perhatiin ternyata yg disorot 4 orang yg sangat serius sekali melihat pertandingan tenisnya, sehingga mata ke-empat orang itu selalu mengikuti bolanya.. Sumpe deh, kocak banget..kepala 4 orang itu pada bergerak barengan ngikutin arahnya bola tenis..kocak banget!!! Truz ada 1 orang dengan santainya, memakan sesuatu sambil matanya tetep lengket ma bola.. Bener2 deh..sinkron banget.. ke kiri.. ke kanan.. ke kiri.. ke kanan.. ke kiri.. ke kanan.. ke kiri.. ke kanan.. ke kiri.. ke kanan.. ke kiri.. ke kanan.. huahahaha

Eniwei, this afternoon I'm going to Bogor, besok sepupu gw (Bang Rino) mo nikah :D Jadi tadi gw ke Harvest beli kue tuk dibawa ke sana nanti. Nah..pas gw baru masuk pintu Harvest, gw ga tau knapa, gw dapet feeling gw bakal ketemu someone that I know.. Eh bener, I didn't notice it before, but I noticed when I was at the cashier paying for the cake. Di sebelah gw Luna Maya!! Gw agak2 kaget, tapi of course gw ga mau keliatan norak, so I resisted the urge to ask her to take a pic with me^^ haha... but when I was waiting for my change and my cake, I observed Luna Maya, she's about as tall as me (but I'm still taller than her, huahaha..) but then her legs are sooo skinny.. kecil banget.. hadoh.. gw pengen badan gw sekecil dia... huuuhh.. long way to go.. Need to start my fitness routines again.. ga melar2 amet sih, tapi bentar lagi Ramadhan.. hadooohhh.. pusying...

Ngomong2 fitness nih yee... Gw udah lama banget ga fitness, gara2 Thesis bodoh itu. Dan Marie France Bodyline (MFB) gw juga terlantar (T_T) kalo ditimbang emang berat gw naik, tapi kalo pas pake baju agak2 longgar, logikanya kalo gw naik lagi timbangan, pake baju juga susah ya? Tapi ini enggak. Cuma jeleknya, kalo ikut MFB tuh ya..kita mengecil yaaa mengecil aja. Kalo fitness tuh ya, badan gw kebentuk, kencang gitu dan otot jadi keliatan. Jadi gw pengen mulai fitness lg, tapi bentar lagi puasaaaa... huaaa... susah..

Tadi pagi baru ambil kebaya di laundry. Besok pagi Akad Nikah abang sepupu.. siangnya ampe sore resepsi di gedung, gw jadi penerima tamu. Hari minggu acara Adat Bataknya.. dan gw sebagai salah 1 adenya, akan mempersembahkan tarian Tor-Tor, yaitu Tor-Tor Muda-Mudi, Tor-Tor persembahan ade2nya pengantin atas pernikahan mereka :D Wish me luck.. btw, pegel banget lho nari Tor-Tor, walo gerakannya itu2 ajah (T_T);;

tired after e.COM 2006~

whoa..where should i start..?? I dunno.. lots to tell.. e.COM 2006 was held August 30^th - September 2^nd, 2006 !! I was asked to help out on alotta things.

• Day 1, 3, 4 : Jury of Spelling Bee & help Pronouncer practice the words
• Day 2 : Jury of Story Telling
• Day 4 : be the MC *wif Tante Tika* of Lunch Performance & Closing Ceremony!!

yup..lots to do..abis, gw juga Peng.Acara seh, pengangguran banyak acara, huahahaha...! I really didn't have anything to do & since I like participating in e.COM all these years ( you get alotta new frenz, networking bo'!), I accepted their requests (they as in my juniors being the committee) :D

And so I start my e.COM days...

Day 1

I arrive at campus after the Opening Ceremony ended. At the lobby I met Raymond (the great-grandfather of e.COM -- CS 2005, already graduated) and since he was there just to look around and I still had time before Round 2 of Spelling Bee (SpBee), kita keliling2 JWC bareng. Udah kayak Bapak dan Ibu guru mengawasi gedung ^^; Abis Ray kan emang udah orang kantoran, jadi using pakaian orang kantoran dan gw nge-Jury pake blazer ^^

Keliling2 ke lantai 2, 3 & 4, truz ke back lobby, kayak Mandor.. And at the back lobby there were Sponsors' stands (Prefere ice cream, Kusuka cassava chips & Hop Hop [kalo versi Indonya sih cendol, wahahaha]) and also other people who opened up F&B stands. There was Icha (her Aunt opened up a juice stand), Adisti & Mom (selling Taco & Nachos), Eko (wif his usual sandwiches), Faustina and Vivin (I think that's it). Lotsa food, sponsors who don't sell food have stands on the 3rd floor as the years before.

At Adisti's stand I met Almy (anak STAN, and also a debater, dat's why like the year before, she was there to be an Adju for e.COM) so we talked a while after that, 'til it was time for us to start "our job". Being a SpBee Jury is really hard, 1st you have to concentrate on the letters the participant is saying and 2nd you have to pay attention to the correct spelling and then compare it to what the participant spelled.

At Lunch Performance, it was supposed to be Aldy's band (Raison D'Etre) performing, but Raison couldn't make it. So Aldy called his friend to substitute, turns out it was a band from Moestopo (ini mah univ. tetangga)!! The band was named "Senbei Band" if I'm not mistaken..and they sang anime songs!! They were really good. After they got off stage, I told my juniors in BiMus (Binus Musician Club) since they already got to know these band kids from Moestopo, they should probably have a collaboration together (Binus International & Univ.Moestopo), as "neighbors" to make a Music Fest! That'll be really cool. Karena selama ini tetanggaan tapi saling cuek2an.

After Lunch performance, 'twas the announcement of the participants who made it to Round 3 of SpBee. After that I was done for the day. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention I met "Bang Karim" at lunch performance. Then in the afternoon (after SpBee was done), I picked up my Thesis at the Photocopy place, but since I didn't bring my photos & Thesis Soft Copy on a CD that day, Student Service said to turn it in the next day together with those other things. And so, since I didn't have anything else to do, and Karim was gonna go home, I asked Karim to drop me off at home..hehehe..tumpangan gratizzz from mai pren Karim (thanx for the ride 'rim!) huehehe..

After I got home, I turned on the TV and enjoyed my time..'til there were some noise at the gate. Since I was too lazy to see who was at the fence, I called my maid to see who it is (paling tukang, gw pikir). But then, after asking who it was, my maid said it was for me. Someone named "alba.. atau albang.. ga tau Kak.." (gw dipanggil Kakak di rumah) and so I went outside to see a familiar face.. two familiar faces actually! It was Abang & Bayu (look.. don't ask me why his name is Abang, he's juz called that way by everyone). And so after the 1st day of e.COM 2006 I had some guests..they left in the afternoon karena janjian ma temen di Blok M.

Day 2

On Day 2 (Thursday), I became a St.Telling Jury, along with Mrs.Luki & Mr.Pierre. We had alotta fun watching the participants' different ways of story telling. At lunch we ate together in the hallway, there we found out alot more about each other..

Take this.. The 3 of us were in Ohio, USA at the same time, in the '90s!! And we didn't know it.. Mr.Pierre and I were actually living in the same city (Columbus, Ohio), even the same campus! Ohio State University! But I was only in middle school back then, my dad was the one going to OSU, and Mrs.Luki was in Toledo, Ohio. We had great conversations during lunch, that we didn't really mind bout the not-so-good food (Ya ampuuunn Nopiiiinnn...! I can't cut through sambal goreng dagingnya dan bakwan jagungnya O_o!)

From all the participants that we judged, there were some who were stuck in my mind..either cuz of their "uniqueness" or they're really good.. Oh yeah, the theme for the 1st round is: "My Life"

1. Fendy - ni orang atu gw inget karena setelah dia cerita tentang his daily life, going to school and stuff, dia ngomong "I'm actually shy to say this, but I model.." dueng *gubrak gubrak* yeah kid, I see u're tall enuff & good-looking enuff fer dat.. sampe2 ank2 comittee yg cewe juga pada penasaran setelah gw cerita, pada ngomong "eh yg ana sih? yg mana sih orangnya?" sambil nyari2 gituh ^^ haha
2. Primananda - intro with singing, the middle of story with singing (telling about the traditional dance class she has, she presented Tari Saman from Aceh lengkap dengan lagunya dia nyanyiin!!), outro also with singing!! her voice was so beautiful pure that Mrs.Luki asked her to join Indonesian Idol!! I also told her to do so.. dan juga, ternyata, Nanda ini is my li'l brother's senior! si Nanda ini dari SMUN 8, my bro's high school.
3. Catherine Shannon - she told the story of her life as if she was a different person. she begun with "Do you know that girl? That girl named Catherine Shannon. She's too shy to tell others about herself, and so I am here to tell you about Catherine Shannon." and the rest of her story was interesting to hear.. ada bagian2 yg kocak.. haha.. I even laughed as a Jury!! (I'll post up her story later on)
4. ?? - this one girl, I'm sooo sorry I forgot ur name li'l girl, but this girl's story was interesting & the way she told it, there were parts that made me almost cry! and so the story goes, she went to the Science Olympic in Argentina and won a silver medal in Biology! when she got home, she had her pic taken with the President (SBY)! but the sad part of her story was, when she was in Argentina, her mother passed away cuz of cancer.. hix hix.. huweeeeee

Those are just some of the participants who were interesting in St.Telling...

Eniwei, on the 2nd day of e.COM, I decided to attend the Evaluation Meeting. As usual, new kids are always noisy.. sigh (you know who you are..!)

Day 3

On Day 3, back to SpBee.. good-ol'-boring SpBee.. I'm sorry to say, even though I've participated in Spelling Bee in the US & was a representative of my school (that means I could spell), it's boring compared to Story Telling ^^; huehehe.. Day 3 is Friday, in Lunch Performance, Adie's band (Sigma) is performing. Jadi pas lunch ketemu ma Adie & Aril and their other friends in the band (Lilies, Dimas & Furqon, kalo ga salah nih namanya..) belakangan dateng Adi (sepupunya Adie) and another friend. They sang a couple songs, including their own song, which was really good!

I also attended the Eva this day. I had to, cuz the next day was gonna be the Last Day of e.COM 2006 & I HAD to know, what their plans are gonna be when famous people are coming for the Closing Ceremony (Gya & Nidji). As usual, newbies are all noisy, to the point where Woen (Melissa Woen) screamed out to tell everyone to be quiet and make a circle (after Andrew tried to tell everyone to get into a circle, but no one would budge or move or quiet down. 'drew man, u got to get some angry expression on your face! I've never seen you angry at all in e.COM 2006! sometimes u need to let that angriness out.. ga usah galak, tapi tegas, gitu loh)

After Woen went home, and the meeting starts to heat up, all the newbies start a "market" again! And so I was the on who screamed out, "Guys you need to be quiet, this is serious matter here. All of you need to know what is going on tomorrow, cuz we've famous people in campus, and I need to know how the flow of people is gonna be like. So I need you to be quiet!"

After that everybody got quiet, and Andrew continued his explanation of all the plannings of Day 4. Got home kinda late on this day.

Day 4

Day 4!! Finally..coming to the end.. This day I was requested to be the MC, a duet with Tika (MK 2007) at Lunch Performance and also Closing Ceremony. We had a blast! I say Tika and I nailed it! Tika says, "We killed it!" haha.. we had alotta fun!! Especially on the Closing Ceremony..even tho it's hectic, we did it! I was amazed that we could get through 3 hours of standing up, haha.. not exactly 3 hours u might say, when we're not on stage, we'd be sittin' down.

But I myself, feel very amazed being the MC on Nidji, who were performing in our campus!! I mean OUR campus, JWC!! I was standing so close to the vocalist (Giring), that I had to resist the urge to....pull on his curly hair! hahaha... it was sooo curly! But then I have to give my salute to Nidji. They really have an interesting stage act, which doesn't bore the audience. It was really fun when Tika & I were introducing Nidji. We were screaming to the audience, telling 'em to scream for Nidji.. "Nidji..Nidji..Nidji..Nidji" again and again..'til someone screamed and pointed to the lift, there they were..Nidji!! In my campus' lift! Comin' down from the 4th floor! And Tika and I were like, "Here they are..give it up for..Nidji!!!!!" hahaha..it was alotta fun screamin' like crazy MCs, and also for the Closing, we were givin' away handphones!! It was realllllyyyyy, really (x1000) FUN!!! 'twas a once in a lifetime experience! Thanx to Nana and Grace (AC 2008) who gave this chance to me, by requesting me to be 1 of the MCs in this event :)

After the Closing was done and lotsa the participants going home..like last year..The committee were taking pics & also doing a HUGE LINE DANCE!! haha.. there were songs that were coincidentally were on my playlist at home (Nelly Furtado's Promiscuous Girl and Xtina Aguilera's Ain't No Other Man) gw JeBe-an (ikut2an) dalem line dance and was the only one without almamater jacket! huahaha..udah gitu angkatan paling tua and the only one from Batch 2006 lageeeehh! malu jadinya..tapi ga pa2, kan jadi awet muda gw.. bwahahahaha..

Sebenernya banyak lagi cerita2 dari e.COM 2006, tapi karena ada beberapa temen yg penasaran tentang e.COM 2006, I will present this for the moment, hehehe :D

Penemuan Terbaru Mengenai Kanker Hati!

Jangan Tidur Larut Malam...

Para dokter di National Taiwan Hospital baru-baru ini mengejutkan dunia kedokteran karena ditemukannya kasus seorang dokter muda berusia 37 tahun yang selama ini sangat mempercayai hasil pemeriksaan fungsi hati (GOT,GPT), tetapi ternyata saat menjelang Hari Raya Imlek diketahui positif menderita kanker hati sepanjang 10 cm! Selama ini hampir semua orang sangat bergantung pada hasil indeks pemeriksaan fungsi hati (Liver Function Index). Mereka menganggap bila pemeriksaan menunjukkan hasil index yang normal berarti semua OK. Kesalahpahaman macam ini ternyata juga dilakukan oleh banyak dokter spesialis. Benar-benar mengejutkan, para dokter yang seharusnya memberikan pengetahuan yang benar pada masyarakat umum, ternyata memiliki pengetahuan yang tidak benar. Pencegahan kanker hati harus dilakukan dengan cara yang benar. Tidak ada jalan lain kecuali mendeteksi dan mengobatinya sedini mungkin, demikian kata dokter Hsu Chin Chuan. Tetapi ironisnya, ternyata dokter yang menangani kanker hati juga bisa memiliki pandangan yang salah, bahkan menyesatkan masyarakat, inilah penyebab terbesar kenapa kanker hati sulit untuk disembuhkan.

Penyebab utama kerusakan hati adalah :

1. Tidur terlalu malam dan bangun terlalu siang adalah penyebab paling utama
2. Tidak buang air di pagi hari.
3. Pola makan yang terlalu berlebihan.
4. Tidak makan pagi.
5. Terlalu banyak mengkonsumsi obat-obatan.
6. Terlalu banyak mengkonsumsi bahan pengawet, zat tambahan, zat pewarna, pemanis buatan.
7. Minyak goreng yang tidak sehat! Sedapat mungkin kurangi penggunaan minyak goreng saat menggoreng makanan hal ini juga berlaku meski menggunakan minyak goreng terbaik sekalipun seperti olive oil. Jangan mengkonsumsi makanan yang digoreng bila kita dalam kondisi penat, kecuali dalam kondisi tubuh yang fit.
8. Mengkonsumsi masakan mentah (sangat matang) juga menambah beban hati. Sayur mayur dimakan mentah atau dimasak matang 3/ 5 bagian. Sayur yang digoreng harus dimakan habis saat itu juga, jangan disimpan.

Kita harus melakukan pencegahan dengan tanpa mengeluarkan biaya tambahan. Cukup atur gaya hidup dan pola makanan sehari-hari. Perawatan dari pola makan dan kondisi waktu sangat diperlukan agar tubuh kita dapat melakukan penyerapan dan pembuangan zat-zat yang tidak berguna sesuai dengan jadwalnya

Sebab:

X Malam hari pk 9 - 11: adalah pembuangan zat- zat tidak berguna/beracun (de-toxin) di bagian sistem antibodi (kelenjar getah bening). Selama durasi waktu ini seharusnya dilalui dengan suasana tenang atau mendengarkan musik. Bila saat itu seorang ibu rumah tangga masih dalam kondisi yang tidak santai seperti misalnya mencuci piring atau mengawasi anak belajar, hal ini dapat berdampak negatif bagi kesehatan.

X Malam hari pk 11 - dini Hari pk 1: saat proses de-toxin di bagian hati, harus berlangsung dalam kondisi tidur pulas.

X Dini hari pk 1 - 3: proses de-toxin di bagian empedu, juga berlangsung dalam kondisi tidur.

X Dini hari pk 3 - 5: de-toxin di bagian paru-paru. Sebab itu akan terjadi batuk yang hebat bagi penderita batuk selama durasi waktu ini. Karena proses pembersihan (de-toxin) telah mencapai saluran pernafasan, maka tak perlu minum obat batuk agar supaya tidak merintangi proses pembuangan toxin.

X Pagi pk 5 - 7: de-toxin di bagian usus besar, harus buang air di kamar kecil.

X Pagi pk 7 - 9: waktu penyerapan gizi makanan bagi usus kecil, harus makan pagi. Bagi orang yang sakit sebaiknya makan lebih pagi yaitu sebelum pk 6:30. Makan pagi sebelum pk 7:30 sangat baik bagi mereka yang ingin menjaga kesehatannya.

Bagi mereka yang tidak makan pagi harap merubah kebiasaannya ini, bahkan masih lebih baik terlambat makan pagi hingga pk 9-10 daripada tidak makan sama sekali. Tidur terlalu malam dan bangun terlalu siang akan mengacaukan proses pembuangan zat-zat tidak berguna.

Selain itu, dari tengah malam hingga pukul 4 dini hari adalah waktu bagi sumsum tulang belakang untuk memproduksi darah.

Sebab itu, tidurlah yang nyenyak dan jangan begadang!!!!

dasar tolol..!

gw emang jarang pake kata2 kasar..tapi kalo gw udah marah, maap aja deh, no more Mr.Nice Guy!

jadi gw tinggal di Blok S, pas depan rumah gw tuh Lapangan Bolanya. sering ada acara & tanpa acarapun Blok S udah rame dengan orang2 yg pengen makan2 di Blok S yg terkenal se-Jakarta! nah ini lagi ada acara di Lapangan.. dan udah pasti penuh dengan orang2 bawa mobil.

eh..pas bokap&nyokap gw mo pergi, di depan pagar gw ada Kijang parkir, ok maybe u're not parking in front of my driveway, tapi itu tetep depan pagar gw yg menghalangi keluarnya mobil gw! lo buta apa tolol ya parkir disitu?! O_o! padahal udah dikasih batu & ban biar ga ada yg parkir disitu, eh ga tau kmana ntuh batu & ban!

nah..ni orang udah pindahin mobilnya jadi mobil bokap bisa keluar, lalu pergilah bonyok gw. gw di rumah aje. tapi tetep2 gw liatin ni ibu2 yg bawa Kijang parkir di mane lagi.. eh di depan rumah tetangga gw ada beberapa supir2 lagi pada nongkrong di depan pagar driveway tetangga sebelah gw! emangnya di sebelah kagak ada orangnya?! tolol.. truz tuh bapak2 dgn seenaknya dewe bilang ke ibu itu, "Bu, parkir disini aja.."

Gw yang, "Pak, kalo parkir disitu gimana dengan tetangga saya? Kalo tetangga saya pulang gimana?"

Bapak itu diem aje, kayak nyuekin gw gitu.. MENYEBALKAN! eh beneran lagi tuh ibu2 tolol parkir di depan pagar tetangga gw! pas tuh ibu turun gw bilang aja, "Bu, jangan parkir di sini Bu. Nanti kalo tetangga saya pulang gimana? Gak bisa masuk nanti.. Mendingan ibu parkir di depan nomer 5, rumah #5 emang ga ada orangnya, jadi ga pa2 parkir disitu."

Ibu itu, "Oh iya, maaf ya.."

Nah gitu dong..situ yg salah jangan cuekin gw kyk bapak2 itu.. kurang ajarrr... jangan mentang2 gw lebih muda diremehkan ya.. Kan kasihan tetangga w, kita hidup bertetangga harus saling menolong, jadi gw ga mau ada mobil parkir di depan rumah gw maupun depan rumah tetangga gw yg menghalangi keluar-masuknya mobil kami..!!!

Lagian satpam komplek ke mane seeehhh...????? Selain tukang parkir yg selalu dimintain tolong ma bokap gw ampe dikasih duit rutin juga. Tuh tukang parkir malah ga bisa berkutik pas gw minta dia bilangin ke Ibu itu tuk jangan parkir di depan pagar tetangga gw, gw ngomong aja langsung.. oon tuh tukang parkir (gw ga tau namanya) kalo tukang parkir yg lain yg namanya Husni & Mamat tuh, baru pada pinter, berani suruh orang pindah parkirnya agar tidak mengganggu penghuni rumah di Jl.Birah Raya!!

gw tau..Blok S is a public place, tapi itu bagian jalan yg mepet ama lapangan bola, kalo bagian jalan yg mepet pagar gw, itu wilayah gw! bukan public place! jadi kalo lo mo parkir di Blok S & ga dapet parkir di Jl.Birah III (tempat dmana jajanan Blok S berada semua) dan harus di Jl.Birah Raya, TOLONG PARKIR di sisi jalan yg meepet ma lapangan, jangan sisi jalan yg mepet ma pagar gw dan rumah2 tetangga gw donx! gini2 juga, walo cuma 7 rumah, 7 rumah ini 1 kompleks yg dijaga ma satpam yg posnya di ujung Jl.Birah Raya deket warung di deket Jl.Suryo-nya. di depan pagar gw, berarti wilayah gw!! untung aja gw ga pake anjing penjaga.. ga perlu juga sih anjing galak, gw sendiri juga udah cukup galak..!!

awas aja..kalo ada lagi yg parkir sembarangan!! gw taro di depan rumah "Jangan Parkir Disini, Awas Mutia Galak!!!!!"

nilai?!?!?!

Semester terakhir gw..IP terjelek gw se-empat-tahun gw kuliah...! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.... bikin jelek IP gw aja 2 mata kuliah di sem. terakhir kemaren ini...

• Advanced Computer Graphics
• Character Rigging & Animation

bodo' ah... Untung buat Thesis 6 SKS & dapet B..enaknya lagi kalo gw dapet A.. huff... susah susah...

Yang penting gw udah melewati those 4 years of hell in Binus International, and in a while I'm gettin' outta there! :D

Oia, akhir2 ini gw demen dengerin Panic! At The Disco (PATD), especially "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" and "But It's Better If You Do". Musiknya enak.. Awalnya gw kira Fallout Boy, karena vocalnya mirip.. Tapi lebih bagus vocalnya PATD :D

Aku udah Sarjana sodara2!!

Today, August 8th, 2006, I just passed my Thesis Defense Exam (sidang skripsi) with a B!! Bodo' amet cuma B, yang penting lulussssssss!!!

huehehehehe

Got an S.Kom now..eh belon ding..tunggu Graduation doeloe :p My Graduation is in November though, so I'm not officially out of College yet... And I have lotsa revisions to make to my Thesis paper O_o!

But the important thing is.... I've passed my College years already!! Just need to wait for my Graduation.. in the meanwhile, I'd like to spend my time with my frenz and continue my Japanese lessons, and start with my fitness routine again by going to the Gym!! And of course try to find some info on Master's Degree (S2)!!

Spanish songs..

the latest song downloads in my playlist are:

1. Alejandro Sanz - No Es Lo Mismo
   
2. Chelo - Cha Cha
3. Marc Anthony - Ahora Quien
4. Robi Draco Rosa - Mas y Mas

I dunno why, lately I've been wanting to hear more Latino songs, or songs with Spanish..

Why are Latino's sexy? I dunno, I think it's in their blood.. Like the song Mas y Mas..I only understand part of it, but Robi's voice is soo beautiful. Alejandro's and Marc Anthony's voice are also beautiful.. haaaaahhh... *dreaming off*

Hari itu di COMBI PasMing

Weeeeiiii.. lumayan telantar juga neh... gw lagi stress nungguin jadwal sidang yg belon jelassss... katanye, kalo udah ada tanggal sidang gw, gw bakal ditelpon 1 minggu sebelumnya. haaaaaahhh... *sighing* capek juga nunggu 1 minggu lewat, temen2 ude pade lulus..gw masih luntang-lantung di rumah (T_T);

Anyway.. kalo kata Adie sih Anyway, by the way, naik busway enak-wei (lho?! O_o! koq ga nyambung?!) yach..anyway... hari minggu kemaren (July 30, 2006) anak2 COMBI pada ngumpul di rumah Adie. Karena ternyata rumahnya Adie udah slese di-renovasi. Pas di-renov Adie en keluarga tinggal di rumah di ujung jalan (alias rumahnya Arief), dan sekarang udah pindah lagi. Karena "rumah baru" bikin semacem slametan gituh,,,anak2 COMBI pd dikumpulin ma dia. Gw ampe ditelpon jadi walhasil saya melangkahkan kaki balik ke Pasar Minggu, to my old neighborhood I will never ever forget :) Well, actually..I was sitting the whole time on the journey from Blok S to PasMing (lha iyalah..masa'gw beneran jalan kaki ksono?!) Kebetulan bo-nyok gw mo ke Bogor, jadi skalian jalan.

Pas gw nyampe.... *jreng* WOW!! Rumah2 yang udah direnovasi pada bagus bangeeeeettttt.... *ngiler* Rumah minimalis istilahnya. Furniturenya juga mantabh!! *2 thumbs up* Jadi iri..hix waktu gw tinggal di sana masih old-style. Pokoke PeWe banget dah.. Ok enuff of the new house itself, lama-kelamaan gw iri nanti... (T_T)

Yang jelas pas gw sampe udah ada Aldy, Dina & Hilman, and of course yang punya rumah Adie & Aril (plus sepupunya yg juga bernama Adi). Ga lama setelah gw sampe disuruh makan (eh iya.. ada juga yg nyadar gw agak kurusan, huehehehe..walo itu bokapnya Adie, tapi jadi semangat meneruskan diet!! cayo Mutia!!) Pas kita2 lagi pada makan (gw ambil makan cuma dikit karena sebelum sampe gw udah makan bareng ma keluarga) eh.. Qq dateng! Setelah lunch kita pada ngobrol & becanda, biasa..si Aldy ngelawak ga jelas dengan "peragaan"-nya.. tapi ga lama setelah itu Aldy cabut..katane ditungguin temen2nya yg ngeband di acara J-I Matsuri di Hotel Hilton. hix..padahal gw & Adie pengen ikut nonton, tapi ga bisa.. Lagian Aldy bawa motor bukan mobil, cuma cukup tuk ngebonceng 1 orang & gw anti-motor.

Tapi kebetulan banget, pas Aldy cabut, Anggun dateng (wahhh..ada apa niyyy.. gossip aja gw) Tapi yang jelas yang kena bahan lawakan dan di"cak"in tuh Hilman & Qq. Kalo Qq, karena anak FK, dibecandain cara makannya..tiap serat daging dipisahkan baru dimakan (kata anak2). Kalo Hilman seh, udah jelas apa yg mo diledekin, tentang kuliahnya.. hahaha... :D lagian anak 2001 skripsi aja belon! Yang seangkatan ma dia Bram & Arief, Bram udah ga tau ke mana perginya, kalo Arief katanya seh lagi nyusun.. eh ini si Hilman baru mo ngajuin judul! ahhh.. susah juga ni kawan satu...

Truz..ga lama setelah Aldy cabut & Anggun dateng..Hilman & Dina pulang. Dan Denny yang ditunggu2 gak muncul2..tiba2 telpon rumah Adie berdering & orang yang nelpon dimarahin ma Adie..hehe ketauan..si Denny nelpon & disuruh ke rumah Adie. Katanye dia lagi nungguin pembokat pulang, karena kalo dia cabut sekarang, pembokatnya ga bisa masuk rumah.. halah.. capek dah.. ampe soreeeee banget ga muncul2, akhirnya kita telpon (pake HP gw as usual yg ude pasti punya pulsa, abonemen bo')

Adie yang ngomong duluan.. "Den, lo mo kesini jam berapa? Ditungguin ma anak2 nih. Ada Mutia, jarang2 loh kita kumpul Mutia ada...... Nih ngomong ma Mutia deh."

Gw: "Halo Den? Lo ke sini ye! Pokoknya gw ga mau tau, lo harus kesini!"

Si Adie bisikin ke gw, "Mut, pake ngomong 'cinta' biar dia GR truz nanti dia kesini.."

Gw: "Den..lo ke sini yaaa... *suara ngerayu* Gw kangen nihhh..gw kan udah capek2 jauh2 dari Blok S ke Pasar Minggu. Lo kesini ya?"

Denny: "Iya.."

Gw: "Bener ya..? Kesini ya?"

Denny: "Iya iya.."

Gw: "Kesini ya?"

Denny: "Iya iya.."

Gw: "Ok, gw tunggu."

*ceklek* telpon ditutup..

hahahaha....abis gw yg ngomong di telpon, dia dateng!!! dasar..emang harus temen cewe yang ngomong, baru dia mo dateng..padahal ga lama lho perjalanan dr rumahnya Denny ke rumah Adie. Udah deh, abis Denny dateng semua jadi kacau. Tukang-bikin-meriah-acara!! Ngelawak2 ga jelas... yang sering kena Qq, karena maghrib Anggun pulang (karena lagi puasa pengganti), jadi tinggal yang punya rumah (Adie, Aril & Adi sang sepupu) Denny, Qq & gw. Udah kayak gitu dateng2 ternyata Denny tambah gemuk!!! Oia, gw lupa ngomong, Aril juga tambah lebar, hehehe... kayak bapak2! Pokoke saking meriahnya & penuh tawa-canda, pipi gw ampe pegel2 gara2 ketawa & nyengir mulu!

Gw bersyukur gw sempet dateng ke acara di rumah Adie, karena setelah slese skripsi gw cape mental & fisik ditambah lagi setelah skripsi dikumpul gw belon tau kapan jadwal sidang gw!! Padahal minggu lalu (the week of July 24th) udah banyak temen gw yg pada sidang! Jadi serasa ada awan yang menutupi hati gw, suasana hati gw bawaannya ga enak aja. Tapi setelah gw kumpul2 ma anak2 COMBI (COMBI = Komplek BI yg di PasMing nih) gw ketawa ampe sakit perut & nangis & pipi pegel, awan di hati menghilang dan semua negative feelings terhapus sudah..! Sekarang gw ceria lagi dan bersemangat lagi menghadapi sidang, walau tak tau kapan (^_^);

To: Adie (+62856xxxxxxxx)
Thanx for the invitation yaa..!! I had a lot of fun :D Level semangat gw meningkat! Apalagi akhir2 ini gw smpt down, abis skripsi, gw lemes & capek. Udah cukup puyeng. Tapiii...abis kumpul2 hari ini gw seneng ktawa2 ga jelas, hahaha :D Good nite ;)

To: Denny (+62818xxxxxx)
Denche..walo bkan gw yg pnya acra, tp thanx yaa udh dateng! Gw kngen udah lama ga gneliat muke lu! Istilahnya "U have made my day!" Krn lo dateng dgn lawakan2 lo yg ga jelas bikin gw ktawa&jd b'semangat m'hadapi sidang. Pokoke klo udah ngumpul & ktawa bareng ank2 COMBI, level semangat gw jd meningkat! Thx&good nite :)



Note:
Intinya..kalo gw lagi down or sedih..mending kumpul bareng ank2 COMBI pasti gw kembali ceria. Jangan kira karena gw sering cengar-cengir (dikira gila) gw ga pernah sedih yee...

h e l p ...

Mood: almost crying (sad)
---------------------------------------
I really don't know where I should go in this point of my life.. Seriously.

My parents say that I should continue wif my school, cuz if I get a job first, I might not get a chance or might not want to go to school again. They want me to get a Masters, and that's what I've always wanted. Finishing my Master's degree at a young age, seeing how proud my parents will be (taking a peek at Kappa-chan's blog) yeah Kap, it's darn hard being the oldest child..

But then I see my friends who, even tho they say they're not a pure Computer Science student (like they feel that they took the wrong major), 1 of 'em is realllly good in Flash and designing stuff (what I meant here was Irine.. aku iri..) I wanna be like that.. but I just don't have the talent. Yes it is interesting learning to use those designing softwares (Macromedia Group: Flash, Freehand, Fireworks, Dreamweaver), but..I just can't seem to really2 get a hold of any of 'em. I remembered taking an IQ test back in Hi Skul (it was mandatory fer evryone) the test said that I wasn't Creative, Creative was one of the personalities included in the test. That came to me like a boomerang. Oh noooo.... I'm not creative.. How can it be? I'm so stressed and f***ed up I can't even think.

Anyway...now I'm confused, either to take a Master's degree or to get a job first. But then, if I get a job, I don't know what skills to offer, except for my English speaking, reading & writing skills. The greatest position I can hit is a translator in a local TV station.. that's if.. they even see my CV. Yeah..I got a lotta Organization Skills, but I'm just not confident enough in myself. And speaking about talent, the only talent I see is talking and music, as in I'm a very talkative person and I LOVE music since I was verrryyy little (listening to music & playing it, I even made up some songs & poems, but I haven's got the music to it yet, just some singing there). Oh yeah, another thing is, I love kids. I was even thinking of teaching English in a pre-school or elementary schools since I really like kids, and the funny thing is, the kids stick to me like glue. It's like I'm some kind of a "kid magnet". This is probably something that descend to me from my grandma, my mom said dat her Mother was also a "kid magnet". Kids just love to be around her, yeah..I used to work in a day-care center, and the kids enjoyed my company. 1 kid even wanted me to go home with her!

That's why I'm soo confused..

If I were to continue my study, what should I take for my Master's degree?

If I were to get a job, what job should I try to take a chance on?

AAAARRRGGGGHHH....!!! I can't take it anymore!!

memalukaaaannn~

A copy of my Reply to an e-mail from my campus' mail-list:

______________________________________________________

Transcript of Interview
The Video Clip

AHAHAHAHAH.. very smart she, I sure will win she.
______________________________________________________


Surely...I feel embarrassed as an Indonesian because:

1. Nadine (as Putri Indonesia) CANNOT speak English correctly! Even I don't know what in the world she's saying. My friend said, she might've learned English from Star Wars (aka Yoda) ^_^;
2. Nadine participates in Miss Universe, like Artika last year, got protests. Dat's b'coz Miss universe involves a session where all contestants are in a swimming suit. Artika last year used a 1-piece swimsuit. What's worse this year (other than her English prob), Nadine chose to wear a 2-piece (aka bikini), while in Indonesia (before she departed for the contest) she promised that she's gonna wear a 1-piece, to represent Indonesia. And anyway, Indonesia's version of a beauty pageant does not show a helluva lotta skin... nope... no way.
3. Nadine is an airhead. *period* She prob'ly thinks Indonesia's pretty small, cuz in the interview she said dat "Indonesia is a beautiful city".
   

Any other comments from you? You should check out those links above in this entry... You'll see how much of an airhead she is. And no..I'm not writing this b'coz of jealousy. If u ask me if she's pretty, yeah she is... I juz can't get myself to say that she's smart. Unlike previous Putri Indonesia (Dian & Artika) and also the 1st Miss Indonesia (Imelda Fransisca), these people ARE SMART AND BRAINY! Imelda and Dian can really speak English fluently!

You know...after watching the video clip of Nadine's interview, I was thinking of dubbing for her. So she'll be lip-synching to my voice... Abissss,,,bahasa Inggrisnya ancurrrrr banget bangeeeetttt... She got a bad conduct of English.. *bleh*

Bencana bencana...

huff.. Pak SBY mungkin bisa dibilang Presiden Bencana kali yee... Sejak pemerintahan beliau, udah brape banyak tuh bencana di Indonesia? Dari Nabire, Aceh, Yogya, Sulawesi (klo ga salah ya, yg banjir itu ya? correct me if I'm wrong), truz sekarang Pantai Selatan Pulau Jawa, Jakarta juga kena... gempa, tsunami, banjir, dll.

Pusing kali yee jadi Presiden hari gini...

Moga2 pemerintah kita bisa cepet aja meng-handle situation yg terjadi sekarang ini, dengan bencana di mana2. Seharusnya our government should've learned their lesson from what happened before.

May Allah SWT bless those who passed away and give strength to the families having to go through all this.

Beck!

Do any of you know the anime named "Beck"? Beck is about a band named Beck (no duhh) or the other name is Mongolian Chop Squad. It ROCKSSSS!!!!

Last Tuesday (July 11, 2006) my bro and I went to PIM, and on the way home we passed by Q Corner.. It's a Anime Rental store. Gw ma ade udah sering lewat2 tp ga pernah masuk, baru kali ini.. wuahhhhh..surga komik en anime en J-dorama...!!! Pendaftaran gratiz!!! Cuma kalo nyewa bayar (biasa), tp klo kita mo duduk disitu en baca hanya daftar aja ga pake duit.

But on that day, I borrowed Ouran Koukou Host Club the Anime (eps. 1-10). And then, last Friday, when we went there again, I borrowed some CDs. Perfect Love 1 & 4-8, Gokusen eps.5, Love Generation eps.12, and Beck eps.1-26 (this one in DVD format, so all those episodes in 2 DVDs!). And on Sunday my bro and I finished watching Beck...

.....

Dan gw terharu!!!! Pokoke, kalo suka anime yg Shounen & suka musik.. u HAVE TO WATCH Beck! Lagu2nya enak2 lagiiii....

Dan gara2 anime ini (Beck) gw jadi tergugah tuk main musik lagi, hehe ^_^; setelah sekian lama I never touched an instrument, padahal di rumah ada guitar, piano & violin! huehehehe.... Sekarang gw lagi belajar lagunya Beck yg "Moon on the Water" dan "I've Got a Feeling". The latter one is originally sung by The Beatles. And also because of this song, I've fallen in love with The Beatles' music again ^_^ hue hue hue...

I'll upload some of the songs of Beck later on... juz like in entries before, when I say later on.... it is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy later.. haha..

Or you can just go to:
http://spawnist.multiply.com/music/item/82

or try finding it with Bear Share application.


I love "Moon on the Water"!!

Blok S kebakaraaaann!!!

Blok S kebakaran! Tapi tempat jajanan deket lapangan & rumah gw gak knapa2... Dari tadi pagi brisik banget..with all the firetrucks passing by. I don't even know where exactly the fire is happening. But there's a helluva lot of sirene sounds!

Ada temen gw bilang...dia ga percaya ama kata2 "kebetulan".. Misalnya, "Eh, kemaren gw ke toko kaset dan kebetulan ketemu temen SMA gw..!" atau "Kemaren gw kira duit gw udah abis buat bulan ini, tapi pas gw cek tas gw yang satu lagi masih ada duit 100 ribu! Kebetulan.."

Yaa..pokoke' u get the idea. Temen gw itu bilang tidak ada kebetulan di dunia ini, karena semua sudah direncanakan sama Allah SWT, cuma kita sebagai manusia aja yg bodoh karena tak tahu akan rencana Sang Pencipta...jadi kita anggep kebetulan. Of course gw percaya ama kata2 temen gw itu, dan klo dipikir2, ya iya juga sih... Tapi tetep aja dalam conversation sehari2 dengan temen2, tetep aja gw ngomongnya "kebetulan", huehehe...

Ngomong2 kebetulan...gw tadi ke PIM (1&2 donx gw jelajahin) ngajak sepupu2 gw yg lg pd nginep di rumah gw, bersama dengan nyokap. Truz pada mo ke toko buku dulu sebelum makan, jadi kami ke Gramedia. Setelah cukup lama di sana, tiba2 ada seorang cewe memanggil namaku. Aku menoleh.. ternyataaaa..... Itu Ayu dan sepupunya (Rika ya kalo ga salah?)!!! huaaaaaa.... langsung aje...I hugged Ayu & Rika. Then Ayu said that Ninta was in town too! A couple seconds after that muncullah Ninta, and we hugged too.. oh my, long time no see..!! I was sooo happy to see them.. excited too (>_<) Adik2qu itu (ada 4 orang: Merin, Tasya, Vira & Narisha) pada kaget karena gw langsung teriak en nyerocos aje dalam bahasa Inggris.. truz mereka pergi ke kasir tuk bayar buku mereka, sementara gw masih ngoceh aje (^_^);; maaph yaa...

Ayu is Ninta's older sista', and we met each other when we were in America, tepatnya di Buckeye Village, Columbus, Ohio! Tiap kali ada orang Indonesia dateng ke Columbus, pasti orang Indo yg udah di sana duluan pada tau kalo ada yg baru, jadi otomatis when they came over to Columbus (as I was already there at the time) we were introduced to each other by our parents.

And so after our sekian-menit-conversation, we planned to meet again after I get through with my Thesis Defense Exam (sidang skripsi), which is in about less than 2 weeks from now... senank "kebetulan" ketemu temen luammmaaaaa!! I have to FIGHTOOOO~ O..! for my defense!

Cheer me on people...! *strides away*

diiiiiiimmmmm suuuuuummmmmm

aaaaaaaa.... *slurp* :p

huehuehue... :D

Akhirnyaaaa.....

1. Nindya berhasil mengumpulkan Thesisnya (I'm so proud of you my child*terharu*), dan
   
2. kami berdua dapat menikmati all-u-can-eat dim sum @ ITC Permata Hijau!!!

Dari dulu gw ma Kap2 pengeeeennnn banget ksitu & nyoba dimsumnya, baru sekarang kesampean..! Dimsumnya enak banget..or as the commercials go "enyak enyak enyak..." Hey! Whose line is that?! Saking enaknya, I cannot describe. Nindya's fave is the chicken feet (aka ceker ayam, bo'!), I'll say it's ok, but I wouldn't eat alot of it (T_T); The resto 's "Eastern" on the ground floor of ITC Permata Hijau, tapi pintu masuknya di luar, dari parkiran masuknya pas di ujung deket gerbang keluar. Tapi tanya orang informasi di lobby ajah buat jelasnya ;) YOU HAVE TO TRY IT!!! About Rp.38.000,- for an all-u-can-eat dimsum buffet kinda thing, but the dimsums come to you...hehe :D

Gara2 kami berdua udah capek mental (gara2 thesis) jadi kami berniat melepaskan stress dengan dimsum, huahahaha... Tadinya abis makan mo lanjut jalan2 refreshing ke PIM, tapiiii ternyata kami berdua menjadi ngantuk..! Jadi, akhir dari cerita hari Senin, tanggal 10 Juli 2006 ini adalah..setelah kenyang dimsum kami berdua pulang untuk tidurrrrrrr.....

Thesis..anyone?

Judulnya kyk di pesta yg diadain di rumah, truz Tuan Rumahnya nawarin Wine ke tamu2 yg dateng ^_^;

"Wine..anyone?"

*gubraks* I dunno wat I'm writing down here, juz scribbling (actually typing) around sesuka gw :P strezzz neehhhh...

Yikes..! Lagi bosen en stress nih..jadi gw nulis di blog, wahaha..

Pusing ama yg namanya Thesis or Skripsi...buh... menyebalkan.. Dikumpulin jumat ini bo'! Tuhan tolong daku.. Everybody out there.. pray for me yaaa....!!!

*humph* SEMANGAT!!!

( btw, baru hari ini gw bisa jawab quiz cystage dengan benar, jadi dapet 5 cron!! hehehe :D )

pengalamanqu dengan...

Tanggal 25 Juni kemaren, Pung Mama (my grandma, dr pihak bokap) pindahan. Yg nemenin Opung di rumahnya (alias tinggal bareng dengannya) itu ada Uwa Wati en anaknya Iman (nick: Aye..don't ask me why he's called that) plus 2 pembantu. Dari Menteng, JakPus ke daerah Ampera, JakSel 4 kali bolak-balik truknya. Buanyaaakk amet barang Pung Ma!!! O_o!

Sebelum hari minggu pindahan itu, gw en nyokap hampir tiap hari bolak-balik ke rumah barunya tuk mempersiapkan sebelum orang2nya pindah. Like mengawasi tukang2 yg cleaning the swimming pool (yes, my grandma's new house has a pool!) en ganti mesin pompa air, truz kami bersih2, etc. Cuapek bo'!

Pada hari pindahan itu, hampir semua sodara2 bokap gw dateng, tp pas udah mulai maghrib, mulai pada pulang...sehingga tinggal-lah keluarga gw doang (bokap, nyokap, gw & ade gw). Itupun kami udah mo pulang... eh, Pung Ma ngomong:

"Mo kemana kalian? Mo pulang juga kau?"

uhh..iya.. pikir gw, tp gw merasa kasihan..

Truz bokap gw ngeliatin gw and said,
"Mut..kamu besok perlu ke kampus ga?"

Gw: "Enggak sih..."

silence

Gw: "Ya udah..Mutia nemenin Opung disini. Tapi Mutia ga bawa baju."

Nyokap: "Kan bisa pinjem daster Opung."

ya sud...alhasil sahaya menemani Pung Ma, on her first night in her hew house. Mungkin karena belum terbiasa bahwa, inilah rumahnya (karena baru), jadi dia ngerasa semua orang ninggalin dia sendirian di sebuah rumah.

And so, not long after my parents and bro went home, the 4 of us (Pung Ma, Uwa, Aye and I) ate dinner. Abis itu, Opung tidur, aku menemani. And u know, di kamar Pung Ma ada lukisan Mona Lisa lho! Tau tuh rumah, bekas disewain ke orang2 bule. Ada juga painting Nefertiti di ruang tamu & painting yg laen, ga jelas, di ceiling of the dining room.

Nah, pas gw nemenin tidur, kan ga mungkin langsung tidur. Pung Ma ajak ngobrol, tentang banyak hal. Ampe qta berdua bener2 ngantuk. Gw jadi ngerasa kasihan sekali, udah sekian puluh tahun ditinggal ama suaminya (Pung Papa), jadi tiap malem ga ada lagi temen ngobrol sebelum tidur. And so she told me about her parents and grandparents waktu masih di kampung dulu, sebelum merantau ke Jakarta dari Sumatera Utara.

Nah, pas paginya kita sarapan bareng. Truz abis sarapan udah beres & piring2 udah diberesin, gw sama Pung Ma masih di meja makan, ngobrol. Truz gw sambil tapping on my PDA-phone to write an sms..tiba2...

Pung Ma: "Apa itu..?"

Gw: "Oh ini Pung...(sambil nunjuk ke PDA)*bla bla bla*"
gw jelasin-lah apa itu PDA-phone, dan bahwa skrg kita bisa foto digital & hp gw itu ada kamera digitalnya. Abis itu gw ajak poto bareng, agar beliau tau bahwa jaman sekarang abis foto, bisa langsung liat hasilnya sebelum dicetak.

sedih..

ga bisa tidur neh..

abis download manga scan.. jadi ceritanya gini.. beberapa hari yg lalu gw udah download ampe volume 3 chapter 1, sementara ni manga selese di volume 4. jadi gw lanjut d/l hari ini. jadi aja jam segini gw masih melek. kalo hari ini atau besok gw sakit,,,ga heran gw T_T

selain manga scan mungkin karena gw minum kopi juga kali ya tadi sore, tapi ah.. enggak juga ah, gw pernah minum kopi sore2 tapi tetep aja ketiduran. mungkin emang one of those days that i can't sleep. sampe2 gw jadi rada males bikin capital letter di entry yg ini...

eniwei..judul manga-nya "Mucha Kucha Daisuki", it's about a country girl (Aoi) who met a Tokyo guy (Tsuyoshi) and they fell in love (classic, isn't it?)... Tsuyoshi the playboy fell in love with the country girl Aoi. so the manga basically tells about their love story, which ends up in tragedy, well actually not a "tragedy" tragedy, but I take it as a tragedy since it's sooooooo sad... that's why this entry is entitled "sad/sedih"

hueeeeee.... I want to cry.... eh..sebenernya udah sih, tadi setelah baca chapter terakhir cerita itu... hix hix.... sediiiiihhhh... sedih sedih sekaliiiiii.....


Note: you can download it here

Happy 21st to meeee!!!!

Yup, I've turned 21 already.. Gone are the days of being young.. hix hix.. (dikira gw ude tua apa?)

For 'bout a week or so, Syifa planned sumthin' out of the ordinary for my birthday. Jalan2 bareng temen2 SMA yg paling deket ma gw (read: best frenz). Ok if that's not normal, then how bout travellin' 'round Jakarta with the Transjakarta bus, goin' to Monas, Museum Nasional, Es Krim Ragusa (Jl.Veteran I), and eating bakmi @ Kampung Cina? Nah, itu rada2 aneh bin ajaib, tapi lebih anehnya lagi, gw setuju2 aja! Yaa, gmana ya, gw ma dia sama2 Gemini, jadi emang sama2 suka aneh. We can't help it :p Ya beberapa alasan knapa gw mau2 aja:

1. Gw pengeeeeennnnn banget ke Ragusa! Waktu kecil gw sering dibawa ke sana ma Alm. Ua Toto (Om gw), jadi gw punya kenang2an masa kecil di sana...
2. Gw udah kangeeeeennnn banget ma temen2 SMA.
3. Alasan terakhir norak banget seh.. Gw belon pernah naek Buswae, eh.. maxud gw, bus Transjakarta!! buh..orang Jakarte nyang kampusnya deket2 jalur Buswae, tapi ga pernah naek..malahan Nindya yg orang asing (read: datang dari luar Jkt, alias Cilacap) udah pernah beberapa kali naik ntuh bus!! Jadiii..gw pengen ngerasain naik Transjakarta. hehehe... ;p
   

Jadi daku sms my best frenz in hi skul (Andini, Dewi, Julia, Visa & Wiwid) and in college (Nindya), pokoke orang2 ini adalah yg paling deket ma gw dalam berbagai hal. Tapi yg bisa ikut ujung2nya sih Dewi, Syifa, Nindya & Wiwid. Ndak papa..walo dikit the show must go on.

Kita janjian jam 7:30 di Blok M, tiba2 sekitar jam 7-an ada yg telpon ke hp gw ampe brapa kali. Ternyata ada misscall dari Syifa en Nindya pas gw lg ke WC bentar ("panggilan alam emergency"). Gw telpon Nindya....

Nindya: "Mut, gw udah di Blok M."
Mutia: "OMG. Ok, gw lagi nunggu temen gw yg mo ke rumah gw dulu. Maaf ya, lo tunggu aja yaa.. Bentar lagi gw kesana.."

Truz, gw telpon Syifa....

Syifa: "Mut, maaf gw telat bangun..bla bla bla" (gw ga inget exactly what she said)
Gw: "Ya udah deh, ga pa pa. Lo cepetan aja siap2 en langsung ke Blok M. Kita ketemu di Blok M aja. Ok?"
Syifa: "Ok"

Ternyata, Syifa kesiangan, dan ga mungkin gw nungguin dia sampe ke rumah gw dulu baru kita ke Blok M. Jadi gw berniat tuk langsung ke Blok M, karena kasihan Kappa udah nunggu. Pagi2 kan bonyok gw nganterin ade gw ke skul, abis itu gw minta mereka tuk nganterin gw ke terminal Blok M. Sesampainya gw di basement terminal Blok M, gw liat di ujung sana ada Kappa, jadi kulambaikan tangan kepadanya. Truz daku menuju tempat penjualan tiket Transjakarta, setelah nyapa Nindya, aku melihat sosok lain yg sangat familiar, aku teriak...

"Wiwid!!"

wahahaha...jauh2 dari Bandung, Wiwid bela2in hanya untukku datang ke Jakarta.. hix terharu..

Luammaaa banget kita bertiga (gw, Nindya/Kappa & Wiwid) nungguin Syifa en Dewi kagak muncul2. Akhirnya gw memutuskan tuk keliling2 terminal, from newsstand, to comic store, to Dunkin'Donuts (where Nindya and I each bought a donut). Udah slese makan donut, belon dateng juga. Jam 8 kurang Dewi sms kalo jam 8:10 dia belon nyampe Blok M, kita berangkat duluan, tapi Syifa belon ada kabarnya...

8:40 (lewat dikit kalo ga salah) Syifa tiba & kita memutuskan tuk langsung berangkat karena udah mulai siang. Jadi kita mengantri tuk beli tiket, kemudian mengantri tuk naik busnya. Gila, dasar orang Indo, disuruh ma petugas dengan suara lantang..
"Tolong yang di belakang jangan dorong!"
beberapa kali ngomong gitu. Apa orang2 pada budeg ye? Untung badan gw gede, jadi gw ada pertahanan (read: ga gampang jatuh didorong orang desak2an). Duh, ni orang2 ga ngerti apa ya? Kalo yg belakang pada ngedorong orang2 yg di depan, yg di depan bisa jatuh. Apalagi antara halte dengan pijakan bus tuh ada gap kecil, dimana sering orang kejeblos! Wah, gw kan belon mau mateee, jadi gw sebodo teuing ma yg ndorong2 gw, pokoke gw dorong balik badan gw ke arah belakang, sambil gw jalan ke depan sambil mata gw ngeliat ke bawah (biar gw ga kejeblos). Akhirnya gw nyampe di dalem bus, en gw, Nindya, Syifa & Wi2d dapet tempat du2k. Gw du2k ber2 Wi2d, di seberang kami Nindya & Syifa. Tiba2 setelah duduk & nunggu keberangkatan bus, ada cewe bertopi item diri depan gw ngomong..
"Muuutt.."
huaaaa!! Ada Dewi!!! Pas banget!! Jadinya Dewi du2k di sebelah kiri gw yg kosong. Ini enaknya nik dari terminal ujung rute bus, masih kosong, jadi bisa du2k. Kalo naik di halte di tengah2 rute, wah kemungkinan besar lo berdiri!

Karena kesiangan, we decided not to go to Monas, jadi langsung ke Museum Nasional. Sekitar jam 9 lewat kami sampai di Halte Museum Nasional (setelah Halte Bank Indonesia), kami turun kemudian menyeberang. Kan kalo mo nyebrang, harus pencet tombol pedestrian biar bisa nyebrang. Udah dipencet 1kali, kagak nyala, lampu tuk mobil masih ijo. Akhirnya dipencet berkali2 ma Syifa...(rusak kali ye..)tapi ga mau juga.. Akhirnya kita nyebrang aja pas kosong ga ada mobil lewat (Wid, ayo lari 'wid! Jangan sampe ketinggalan!). Maka sampailah kami di Museum Nasional (alias Museum Gajah bagi yg belum tau). Jadi kami beli tiket pengunjung en bayar 1tiket buat camera for taking photos! Sampai di dalem biasalah kami, rada2 norak, kami foto2 dengan gaya yg aneh2. Setelah ruangan keramik2, kami keluar tuk menuju pintu depan, eh dipanggil ma seorang Mbak.

Si Mbak: "Maaf nih Mbak, saya mahasiswa yg lagi skripsi...Boleh minta tolong isi survei ini?"

sambil mengajukan kertas dan pulpen..and so Nindya, Wi2d & I filled out the survey. Ternyata nama Mbak-nya, Naomi. Slese itu kami mo ngembaliin pulpennya..

Mbak Naomi: "Oh itu pulpen buat kamu."

Kami bertiga: "Wah makasih ya Mbak!"

Truz, si Syifa ribut pengen difoto bareng deket patung singa (or at least that's what I thought it looks like), jadinya Mbak Naomi nawarin tuk mengambil foto kami bersama Sang Patung! Setelah itu gw bilang: "Syif, lo kan pengen banget difoto ma tu patung bareng ma yg laen. Nah kan udah difotoin ma si Mbak, lo isi dong survey-nya!!"

Syifa: "Iya iya..."

So Dewi & Syifa filled out the surveys too. Setelah say good bye and thanks to Mbak Naomi, we went off to the next room and took some more weird pics with the statues there, then to the lobby. Pas di lobi, ada yg bilang "Boleh ke ruang emas di atas ga ya?"

Gw: "Tapi tangganya ditutup tuh.."

Petugas yg diri deket kami: "Oh boleh koq Mbak. Silahkan silahkan.. Boleh banget koq diliat, tapi jangan difoto ya.."

And so we went off to the 2nd floor to see the stuff made of gold! huaaaa... *cling cling* menyilaukan! Or like what Dewi said: "These are a girl's best friend!"
muahahaha... After looking through all the gold collection in both rooms we decided to go to Ragusa to eat. pas mo keluar dari ruangan yg kedua, pas gw & Nindya lagi di pintu rolling door (or whatever it's called) gw ngeliat petugas2 berseragam semacam polisi pada naik ke atas menuju ruangan itu! Huaaa..serem banget! Lagaknya kayak kami berlima mau di buru karena telah mencuri koleksi emas Museum Nasional!! Tapi..enggak sih..haha..'canda..

Jam 11 kurang kami berangkat menuju Ragusa. Dan seperti sebelumnya, kami harus menyeberang dengan memencet tombol pedestrian, yang dipencet berkali2 ma Syifa (wah, mampusss tuh tombol rusak). Wuidih...puanaaassss bo'! Kakiku suakiiiitttt! Sesampainya di Ragusa, semuanya pada ngelurusin kaki & pesen es krim!

Gw: "Kalian semua, mo makan es krim dulu sebelum makan main course? Nasi atau apa keq.."

Yg lain: "Enggak, es krim dulu! Haus!"

Cassatta Siciliana, Coupe d'Maison, Banana Split, Nougat & the great Spaghetti Ice Cream! Karena tiap orang beda flavor es krimnya, kita semua maen comot sana comot sini.. hehe.. Setelah slese es krim, gw pesen asinan 1 tuk sharing semua. Truz dari semua pilihan yg ada, ternyata semuanya pada milih sate+lontong tuk main course! Setelah itu, Dewi penasaran ma otak2nya. Jadi dipesen 1 porsi otak2, kita hajar bersama! hahaha...

Abis itu Syifa penasaran ama Asinan Juhi, dan juga penasaran ama yg namanya Juhi itu apa sih? Alhasil, Syifa samperin itu tukang asinan tuk nanya2 tentang Sang Juhi! After that, dia balik lagi ke meja kita dan menceritakan bahwa Juhi itu dibuat dari daging sotong!

Semuanya: "Ooooooo...sotooooonngggg...hmmm.."
Gw: "Syif, pesen 1 deh, biar lo ga penasaran rasanya kayak apa!"
padahal semuanya udah pada kenyang! Truz pas jam1 Nindya harus cabut, jadi we said our goodbyes to her, and I took some photos wit her, baru dia pulang (karena ada kawinan keluarganya sore, jadi harus pulang cepet)

After that, gw udah ngerasa begah banget, alias"kekenyangan"! Wah, ga bae tuh menurut ajaran Nabi, "Berhentilah makan sebelum kamu kenyang."

Jadi sambil nunggu makanannya turun, gw pesen Tehbotol & kami menikmati lagu2 oldies dari pengamen yg ada disitu. Gw seneng, di ultah gw ada yg nyanyiin lagu (pdhl dia emang sering ngamen disitu hari2 ^_^;). Udah lagu2ny oldies yg enak2, gw suka lagu2 oldies plus suara pengamennya TOP, ga cupu kayak pengamen biasa di pinggir jalan.. Kalo ada level2an dalam dunia pengamen, nih orang adalah Pengamen Kelas A, alias Numero Uno! huahahaha...

Setelah gw rasa udah ok tuk jalan, kami berjalan ke halte Transjakarta naik bus biru (Koridor II), dan turun di halte Museum Nasional tuk ganti Koridor I, tujuan Blok M (kami ga jadi ke Kampung Cina karena udah kecapekan). Ngantrinya luammaaa banget, dan pas dapet, kita semua harus berdiri, dan daku terpisah dari temen2. Gw dapet tempat di deket pintu kiri (yg hanya di buka di terminal tujuan akhir, bukan pintu kanan yg dibuka di tiap halte pemberhentian), jadi kepepet ke pintu gw. Gilaaaa..udah gw berdiri, ntuh supir kagak lembut kayak yg tadi pagi, jadi kayak a-standing-roller-coaster-ride. Mana ada Bule Gila lagi yg naik di salah satu halte antara Museum Nasional ma Dukuh Atas, gw lupa dimana dia naik. Pokoke ngelawak2 ga jelas gitu, sampe petugas yg buka pintu (cewe) dan juga cewe2 yg di sekitar pintu tuh pada ketawa... Gw dalam hati "Ni bule gila neh..."

Pada akhirnya kami sampe di Blok M en naik 75 ke Blok S (my house), semua pada mampir ke rumah gw. Sampe di rumah, minta Mbak bikinin sirop dengan es..aaaaaahhhh..segarnyaaaaa.... Truz ke kamar mandi tuk cuci kaki.

Gw telpon nyokap, ternyata semua keluarga bokap masih pada di Kenanga (rumah bru Opung, belon ditempatin), pada nungguin gw. Awalnya gw bilang, "Bu, Mutia capek, lagian ada temen2 disini." Truz Ibu bilang ok & suruh gw potong kuenya buat temen2 gw en temen2 Ade yg lagi pada di rumah juga, abis itu gw tutup telponnya.

Pas gw buka fridge, eh ternyata bener ada cake..gw jadi ga enak.. Mo potong cake tapi ga afdhol kalo ga pake tiup lilin, yg biasanya dilakukan dengan keluarga gw. So I decided to go to Kenanga anyways and told my frenz..

Gw: "Sori yaa semuanya, gw ga bermaxud mengusir elo, tapi gw ditunggu keluarga gw en nenek gw.."

Dewi, Syifa & Wi2d said that they were ok with it, so we went upstairs to pray & I changed my clothes. After that we went on a taxi, dropped Syifa at Tendean, Wi2d at Buncit, Dewi @ Ampera & last stop, I went off @ Kenanga. They were surprised to see me coz they all thought I wouldn't come.. hehe.. Abis itu tiup lilin, potong kue en makan kue. Udah gitu semua pada pulang & I also went home...

But, since dad drove the Mercedes-Benz (the only sedan my grandma could ride on) it was full with, dad, mom, Ua Waty, Aye (Iman) & Opung, so I had to go home with my aunt, Bou Tet. Bou Tet had to drop off her maid @ home and also Ua Luhut & Ua Wati at Slipi using a chauffeur (driver). Jadi, desak2anlah kami berempat (Ua Wati, Bou Tet, si Mbak & me) di kursi belakang mobil Tante gw. Abis ngedrop si Mbak, Bou pengen ke Club Store, jadi gw ikut juga kesana. Truz dari sana (walo udah deket rumah gw) Bou bilang, "Mut, kamu kan ga ada janji kan? Temenin Bou nganter Ua ke Slipi ya?"
Gw: "Ok, emang mau ada janji ama siapa Bou? Mentang2 malem minggu..."
Ua Luhut: "Aaaahhh.. masa'ga ada..."
Gw: "Yach, si Ua..ga percaya.. Mutia tuh masih jomblo Ua! Masih single..."

Setelah nganterin Ua Luhut & Ua Wati, akhirnya giliran gw pulang. Sampe di rumah... eh! Ternyata bonyok gw udah sampe duluan setelah nganterin Opung, Ua Waty & Aye! huaaaaa... Ya sudah, ga pa2, yg penting gw ude sampe en bisa istirohat... huehehehe...

Itulah hari ultahku yg ke-21, yg penuh adventure!!


Oia, 2day my dad bought me a new handphone (aih, jadi malu). Jadi Nokia 6230 gw dituker tambah ma HP iPAQ rw6828 (kalo ga salah ya nomernya), setelah gw mengalami banyak dilemma dalam membuat keputusan hp mana yg mo gw beli. huehehe.... PDA-phone.. ckckck... ketiban apaaaa gw semalem bisa dapet hp ginian???? Tapi yg penting bukan hadiahnya, tapi kehadiran semua orang2 yg paling penting dalem hidup gw: my best frenz and my family!!

Thanx for all the people who sent me their birthday wishes, may God Bless you!
