Thinkin...thinkin...awh too much thinkin...

Hellooooooooo!!!

2009-11-20T17:51:00.002+07:00

Wow! I haven't been writing here in years!!! Seriously..since 2007 I haven't touched this blog. Coz since July 2007 I had a job in a theme park that took up almost all of my time. I just resigned in June 2009, because I wanted to continue my studies.

Now what I've been doing since July 2009 is continuing my studies. Trying to get a Master's Degree in Business Management, or MM (Magister Management) as they call it here in Indonesia.

Soo many things to say,, but don't have the time right now...

Hope to be writing more in here :)

so close

2007-02-01T17:50:00.000+07:00

So close, yet so far,
That's what you are.
Look over here.
Can't you see that I'm near?

For someone, who wouldn't even realize this is for him.

Why so close? Yup, he was so close I could touch him.
Why so far? We're livin' in different "worlds".

New Year's Resolutions for 2007~

2007-01-01T00:48:00.000+07:00

Ok..so be it..every year it's the same resolutions, and I never could fulfill 'em 100%.. But then I still wanna put some as my 2007 Resolutions.. here goes something...

Lose weight!! This is soooo hard to do.. I get realllly bad cramps for PMS that I went for a check up to a Gynecologist. The doctor said (after doing a USG check) that there was nothing wrong with me (my condition is fine, no tumor and such) it's just that.. I'm overweight.. Yeah I know that, I've been over since I was in elementary school. The doctor said I need to lose 25 kg!! WHOA!! Really hard to do.. but hopefully I can do it.. This concerns my health conditions, and they say exercise is necessary if u wanna be healthy and far away from all kinds of weird illness these days. (Mutia caiyou!!! -> menyemangati diri sendiri :P)
Improve my spiritual side. I'm getting there.. praying 5 times a day for these 2 weeks I've fulfilled 'em on time. Cuz I got my cousin (who's staying at my place for a while) as some kind of personal reminder, just by looking at her pray straight away after the calling of prayer (adzan). Now I just need to get myself closer to Allah SWT, hope that I can really conversate with God through my daily prayers.
Read more books!! Yeah..I've read alotta books lately, in Japanese it's called manga a.k.a. comic books, hahaha :D I should read more novels and non-fictions. I couldn't believe myself that when I used to go to school in America, I've read piles of books in a month! Wonder how I did that... *wondering to myself* My brains getting dull for reading too much comics without balancing 'em with other books.
Take care of myself or pay attention more to what I look like. What I mean here is.. cleaning up my face from all the pimples I have and the scars left by 'em. And just being more attentive to my appearance (lebih memperhatikan penampilan diri) cuz I've always been a person who, u can say, ignorant of my own appearance, cuek banget dehh.. Maybe I should where make-up more often..?

Hope my resolutions can be fullfilled :D

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2007!!

2006-12-31T23:41:00.000+07:00

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:

good concept and plot
the development of the story and characters are smooth through out each scene
scenes connect smoothly
lots of movies that are touchy (menyentuh, bikin terharu gitu lohh!)
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*

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!!!!

2006-12-05T17:16:00.000+07:00

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....

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

2006-09-23T11:13:00.000+07:00

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

2006-09-15T10:50:00.000+07:00

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~

2006-09-15T10:30:00.000+07:00

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~

2006-09-05T14:50:00.000+07:00

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"

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
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.
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)
?? - 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!

2006-08-28T21:11:00.000+07:00

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 :

Tidur terlalu malam dan bangun terlalu siang adalah penyebab paling utama
Tidak buang air di pagi hari.
Pola makan yang terlalu berlebihan.
Tidak makan pagi.
Terlalu banyak mengkonsumsi obat-obatan.
Terlalu banyak mengkonsumsi bahan pengawet, zat tambahan, zat pewarna, pemanis buatan.
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.
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..!

2006-08-26T11:00:00.000+07:00

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?!?!?!

2006-08-25T14:55:00.000+07:00

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

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..

2006-08-06T23:29:00.000+07:00

the latest song downloads in my playlist are:

Alejandro Sanz - No Es Lo Mismo
Chelo - Cha Cha
Marc Anthony - Ahora Quien
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

2006-07-31T19:07:00.000+07:00

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...

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?

Transcript of Interview
The Video Clip

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

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

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) ^_^;
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.
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...

2006-07-18T13:36:00.000+07:00

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!

2006-07-18T13:15:00.000+07:00

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:

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!

2006-07-13T18:55:00.000+07:00

menyemangati diri sendiri ituh judul (T_T)

huehuehue... in less than 2 weeks will be my "Thesis Defense Exam" (sidang skripsi) and I haven't prepared my presentation yet...
AAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH..........!!!!!!!!!!!!!
someone help meeeeeeee..........!!!!

freakin' out here..! (>_<)

kebetulan...atau sudah digariskan..?

2006-07-13T18:18:00.000+07:00

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

2006-07-10T17:55:00.000+07:00

aaaaaaaa.... *slurp* :p

huehuehue... :D

Akhirnyaaaa.....

Nindya berhasil mengumpulkan Thesisnya (I'm so proud of you my child*terharu*), dan
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?

2006-07-04T12:24:00.000+07:00

pengalamanqu dengan...

2006-06-26T21:42:00.000+07:00

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..

2006-06-23T01:27:00.000+07:00

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!!!!

2006-06-18T19:35:00.000+07:00

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:

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...
Gw udah kangeeeeennnn banget ma temen2 SMA.
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!

estoy enfadado

2006-06-12T15:13:00.000+07:00

I don't know if I got that right..what I meant was "I'm angry" in Spanish.

I'm in a bad mood today. Cuz I dunno wat Notaris is in English, I'll be writin' most of this in Indonesian.

Have u ever been involved with a broker and a Notaris?? Usually u'll be involved with those people if u wanna sell or buy a house. Walo bukan gw yg ada urusan secara langsung, tapi tetep aja gw kesel. Jadi Opung gw jual rumah, otomatis klo rumahnya dijual beliau harus cari tempat tinggal baru dong! Jadi bokap gw yg urusin itu semua, jual-beli rumah, menjual rumah Opung gw yg lama en membeli rumah baru untuk beliau. Tapi jadinya seisi rumah tau wat and who he's facing, yg Notaris-lah, broker-lah, masalah ini-itu-lah... banyak deh..

Notaris - Tiap Notaris punya persepsi yg berbeda2 tentang urusan dokumentasi, spt surat kuasa de el el.. Ribet bngt, mana ada Om gw yg di Bandung yg salah 1 ahli waris rumah Opung gw itu udah meninggal, jadi istri en anak2nya harus bikin surat kuasa. Ribet deh, notaris di Bdg sana bikin format A, notaris yg ngurusin di Jkt maunya dlm format B, halah ribet bangetttttt. Mana Notaris Jkt minta ke Bokap gw tuk benerin itu surat.. Hueh?! O_o mana kite tau Bu?? Yg bikin kan Notaris yg di Bdg sono!! Tanya aja langsung!
Broker - Like Meja's song "It's all about the money!" monyong... Ga mikirin hal yg lain, cuma duit duit en duit.. pokoke dapet duit as fast as I can!! Gitu prinsip para2 broker2 ini... halah.. rese'...

Itu cuma separo dari ke-rese'-an (emang ada kata begini dlm kamus?!) para orang2 yg berurusan dgn lo kalo harus jual/beli rumah. Saran gw..harus orang sabar yg ngadepin orang2 macem mereka. Kalo gw seh.. "Hajar bleh!!" *wa-taaaa* (dgn gerakan karate)

Apalagi hari ini! Gini ceritanya, Opung gw udah ktemu rumah yg dia suka, jadi diurusin-lah ma Bokap. Mana yg punya rumah adalah istri seorang bule lagi, ribet urusan kepemilikan rumahnya. Tapi masalah surat2 itu udah slese, tinggal hari ini penandatanganan AJB & kite bayar. Nah, kan sertifikat harus dibawa ke BPN tuk disahkan or sumthin', baru bisa ttd AJB en bayar2. Eh..ni Broker telpon ke HP nyokap gw (nyokap gw yg urusin karena bokap gw sibuk di kantor) nyerocos aje...bla bla bla

Gw bilang: "Pak, maaf Ibu saya lagi mo sholat, tolong telpon lagi bentaran lagi...skitar.."
Broker: "Ya udah, bilangin aja, suruh langsung ke kantor Notaris. Ini semuanya udah lengkap."
Gw: "Tapi Pak.."
Broker: "Langsung kesini aja ya!" *ceklek* ditutup!!

Anjritttt!!! Gile ye.. Orang ga dikasih kesempatan tuk ngomong!! Lagian, nyokap gw lagi sholat gitu loh! Tolong hormatin sedikit, orang mo sholat gituh!! Dan juga, apa salahnya seh, lu sebagai BROKER telpon aja lagi nyokap gw?!?!?! O_o!! Telpon aja lagi like in a couple of minutes, pasti udah slese sholatnya, ngomong aja langsung ma nyokap gw. Enak banget dia nyerocos ga jelas gitu, nyuruh nyokap gw kesono. Seenaknya dewe.. Hanya karena dia want that money so bad as a broker, lo gak mikir ape?! With all due respect, WE'RE the ones buying that house AND PAYING you!! The customers are THE KING!! Mana sebelumnya dia nelfon nyokap gw yg angkat, seenak perutnya aja nyuruh nyokap gw tuk transfer uangnya secara RTGS pada saat itu juga!!! buh... kurang ajar!! Surat2 belum di tangan keluarga gw sebagai pembeli, lo minta gw kasih lo duit?! NO WAY JOSE!! Gila apa? Kalo blm ada surat2 di tangan, duit gw lo lariin!! monyong...

Rese' rese' rese' reseeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

Hari ke-5 sakittttt..... (@,@)

2006-05-15T11:18:00.000+07:00

puyeeeennnggg...intinya headache!!!! sakit tenggorokan... idung kalo gak tersumbat, malah ngalirrr.. jadi aja beberapa malem ini ga bisa tidur, kuping ikut2an sakit... *ngit ngit* gitu di dalem kuping... huaaaa... cobaan...cobaan... *sigh* God help me...
*sroottt sroott*
...
*cough cough*
...
*uhuk..uhuk...hoeekkk...* maap sodara2..buang dahak (^____^);

Udah dari hari Rabu kemaren gw sakit..tiba2 aja Rabu pagi gw sakit tenggorokan & terasa kering. Tiba2 *jreng* gak bisa ngomong!! Rabu & Kamis tuh, susah tuk berkomunikasi.. Kalopun ada suara yg keluar dari mulut gw, pasti volumenya sangatlah kecil!

Ketularan ade gw nihh..jadi Kamis pagi gw en ade ke dokter di kantor bokap. Dikasihlah kami obat2an masing 1 kantong plastik. Ada antibiotik, obat flu, pengencer dahak, dll. aiihh.. banyakk... Gw juga bilang ke pembantu gw, kalo ada telpon buat gw bilang aja lagi tidur karena lagi sakit.. yaa emang bener sih sakit en pernah juga ada yg nelpon pas gw lagi tidur... tapi gw alasan utama adalah..saya tak bisa bersuaraaaaaa.

Yang lebih parah lagi...malem minggu di Lapangan Blok S ade nyang namanye... "Pertunjukan Wayang Kulit"!!! Nah..lo tau sendiri kan, kalo wayang kutil..eh kulit..itu starts very late at nite and ends in the wee morning bout 3 or 4 AM the next day... Nahhh.. rumah gw itu madep ke Lapangan itu!! Speakernya ada yg madep rumah gw..jadi aja.. berisiiiiikkk!!!! Dari Sabtu siang udah mulai yg namanya nyinden en gamelan, sepertinya pada latihan.. *sigh* Sekitar jm 9 malem gw mencoba tuk tidur, , ,merem ni ye, , ,tiba-tiba... *dung dung dung drung dung dung* *yaaaa yaaaa yaaa* (suara2 nyinden cempreng)

AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!

Can't you let me have some sleep for cryin' out loud?!?!?! O_o! Kalo gw lagi ga sakit gw mungkin masih bisa memaklumi, wong gw bangga ama kebudayaan orang Indonesia, tradisi & kebudayaan harus dilestarikan gituh.. Tapiiiiii.... if you're ill like me, with flu, sore throat, ears hurting and a headache..how inthe world can you sleep with all that noise?!?!?!

Sodara2.. ini bukan contoh yg baik tuk seseorang yg telah diberi cobaan oleh Allah SWT. Yaa..sebenernya gw ikhlas gw dikasih sakit, karena ini adalah cobaan dari Allah, and God will not give humans problems they cannot solve. Cuma gw sebelnya cuma pas Wayang Kulit ituuuhhhhh... gw udah bener2 tidur, tiba-tiba *dung dung dung drung dung dung* *yaaaa yaaaa yaaa* (suara2 nyinden cempreng) HUAAAAAAA!!!! Tiap jam begitu! Jadi aja hari minggu gw bangun dengan badan ga seger.. ngantuuukkkkk...

Yach...semoga gw bisa menerima cobaan ini dengan lapang dada dan ikhlas.. Amiiinnnn...

Eh Sang Bangau..

Yup.. that's the truth.. I've postponed my Thesis Defense for another semester to July, so I'll hopefully be finishing it up in my 8th semester.

Mo hiatus.. tuk beberapa bulan...

2005-12-21T15:23:00.000+07:00

Before the 2 poems that I've posted before I've actually been on a hiatus status (it rhymes!) for a long while.. but before I'll be really really away from this blog I post these 2 poems to bring up my spirits and hopefully your spirits to. Pokoke gw perlu and I mean really really need HIGH SPIRITS!!!! I hope that I can focus on my Thesis and have my Thesis Defense Examination (sidang skripsi maxudnyee..) on February 2006.. cuz if I go past the deadline of January in writing my Thesis, I'll have to conduct my Defense Exam in June or July 2006.. terlalu lama..

Take Time

2005-12-21T14:59:00.000+07:00

Take time to work,
it's the price of success.

Take time to think,
it's the source of power.

Take time to play,
it's the secret of perpetual youth.

Take time to read,
it's the foundation of wisdom.

Take time to be friendly,
it's the road to happiness.

Take time to dream,
it's hitching your wagon to a star.

Take time to pray,
it's the greatest power on earth.

Take time to love and be loved,
it's a God-given privilege.

Take time to look around,
it's too short a day to be selfish.

Take time to laugh,
it's the music of the soul.

Akhirnyaaa... setelah beberapa kali "channel surfing" on the radio, or gonta-ganti radio station muncul juga lagunya Fort Minor (FM) that is "Believe Me"!! :) Senangnyaaaa...!

Oia.. gw lagi sakit perut ginih (monthly cramps) teteup gw "diseret" ma nyokap ke ITC Fatmawati. Emang sih gw yg ajakin minggu lalu in the 1st place, tapi gw gak tau hari ini gw bakal "dapet" (ya iyalah... emang gw peramal O_o!) Cuma hari ini sih nyokap ada waktunya, jadi te2p gw jalanin. Tapi sebelum gw berangkat gw balurin Minyak Tawon (label putih kalo ga salah)dari Makassar ke perut gw... Gilaaa! Ampuh banget! Sakti tuh minyak tawon...! Gw biasanya mules2nya minta ampun.. ini gak begitu sakit! Tapi jadinya gw keliling2 ITC bau minyak tawon gituh bukannya wangi strawberry perfume atau apa keq ^____^; sampe2 ada Mbak2 penjual baju bilang, "Koq bau minyak tawon ya?" gw diemin aja, pura2 gak tau (n_n)v

Truz kemaren kan gw ke toko sepatu Donatello @ Wijaya I ama nyokap, dan gw dapet 1 pasang sandals hak tinggi (yg gak tinggi2 amet) + 1 tas warna biru, ibu dapet 2 pasang sandal. Hari ini ke ITC Fatmawati gw dapet pashmina warna biru muda gradasi ke biru tua yang senada dengan baju Lebaran gw yg gw beli di PIM beberapa minggu yang lalu, truz gw juga beli 1 lagi baju Muslimah & celana matching warna kuning. Ternyata bagus juga gw pake kuning... biasanya biru melulu. Ibu dapet 2 baju & 1 celana (kalo gak salah) & kita beliin 2 baju + 2 celana hamil buat Tante Inge... YUP! she's pregnant ;) Padahal Puputnya udah kelas 3SMA & Tasya udah 1SMP, mo ada ade'nya lagi (n_n)

Ramadhan Gathering Evaluation Meeting (Eva)

2005-10-21T21:46:00.000+07:00

I reserved a room for the 1PM meeting from 11:30AM. Gunanya tuh biar gw ada tempat buat nunggu (hehehe...) plus biar yg cowo2 bisa nitipin barang2 mereka di ruangan pas mereka sholat jumat. Eh pada salah paham.. pada ngira rapatnya jam 11:30 ^_^ gak mungkinlah Eva cuma 1/2 jam.

After Friday prayer, we had the Eva @ 1PM with Itank, Putri, Asta and Ginting presenting @ the front & Fahmy as the computer operator. I was satisfied with what they've done for the Ramadhan Gathering and Sahur on the Road, 'xcept for da nitty-gritty things... small things but still important. Hope that they'll learn from their mistakes :)

Nindya's ill with the fever... I think it's b'coz of the AC in 407. Cuz we spent most of our time in 407 yesterday ^_^ @4:30PM today I was s'posed 2 attend the "buka puasa bersama" @JWC with the BiNus JWC staff & lecturers and other students, but since Nindya was ill and I had a sudden family thing to attend, I went home with Mom. Later on it turns out that Titi attended the event & said that it was funny coz there was a 2009 kid wearing "baju gamis" & jadi perhatian semua orang karena kayak orang Arab... wah, pasti Fahmy itu! Siapa lagi yang tampangnya Arab gituh?! Udah gitu penceramahnya ngajak dia ngobrol pake bahasa Arab tapi Fahmy-nya kagak ngerti... ya iyalah, dia Arabnya gak asli, Arab Pasar Minggu... ^_^

Oia...! Uang baru udah ada nich... 50rb warna biru & 10rb warna ungu... kayak uang Monopoly. Coba aja lo deretin 10rb, 20rb, 50rb & 100 ribuan...kayak uang mainan (O_o)!

7th Sem. Mid Exam

2005-10-20T20:38:00.000+07:00

Thursday, Oct.20, 2005
Went 2 campus w/ Dad in da wee morning.. @ about 6:30AM or so I arrived @ campus. Sat in front of 307 in da hallway & prepared my laptop to study from da slides. I saw my position for da exam was... Numero Dos...or wat u know as #2, in front of the examiner (pengawas). #1 was Eko Prabowo by da way... I tawt da exam was gonna be 3 hours long... so I studied da slides just by glancing, I mean I didn't have much time, my exam was @ 9! It's not like I didn't study @ all, but I only read da book..haven't read da slides... I was a bit freakin' out but sumhow I had a feeling dat evrything will be juz fine...no problemo... Turns out my feeling was rite, the exam was only 75 minutes!! (O_o); After my exam, while waiting for Nindya, I installed 3ds max and Maya. When Nindya arrived, I went downstairs 2 meet Mas Deni (accompanied by Nindya) who is the staff of BiNus JWC who's also da PIC in Friday's Buka Puasa (Fri, Oct.21st). After talkin' to him about da participation of BMS in it, Nindya and I went 2 da back lobby 2 see people playin' foosball. Oh mee oh my...what a disaster the foosball table looked like! And on the way there we met Itank who was hiding behind Ivan. What the heck's wrong with him?! O_o Turns out he didn't finish the report for 2moro's Eva ^___^; And so I told him that the report doesn't have to be too much & that he doesn't need to worry...

Now while I was talkin' to him I was also fiddlin' around wif my cellphone... and suddenly it was in a "hang state"! (nge-hang gitu lohh) I mean when I pushed a button, the screen became blank for a sec then back to normal, but when I checked on my MMC folder, nothing was detected by my cell!! AAARRRGGGGGHHH!!!! Since Itank's cell is the same type as mine, I asked him if his cell has ever been like that. He told me to turn it off, take my MMC out and put it back in, then turn it on again.. ['tank u didn't see my PIN did u(~.~)!] VOILA!!! It was back to normal... if he didn't tell me dat at that second, I might've freaked out (in the last couple of days I've become a bit "panicky" and sensitive, makanya gw mungkin bisa freak out) Fiuh...sure is good to know my cellphone's back to normal, thanx 2 Itank... "Thanx Bro!" hehe :) {sembarangan aja ya gw manggil orang bro... sejak kapan dia jadi sodara gw?! O_o}

Yaa.. all my frenz are my siblings especially in BMS, in English we would greet each other by, "Assalamu'alaikum Brothers and Sisters!" hehehe... duh jadi nyasar nih topik... After my cell was back to normal there was Herman, Banana (Edwin/Xang/Pisang), Pauline & other CS2009 students. Herman called me Kak Mutia, so I called him De'Herman! Apa seeehhhh... gak pentiiiiinnnggg... After the 2009 peeps all went home, Nindya and I went 2 da 3rd floor 2 get my laptop & bag, then we headed for our beloved 407! Dang is dat a cold room or what?! 407 is 1 of da coldest rooms in JWC... udah dingin banget, ruangannya kecil, orangnya dikiittt lagiihh.. so freakin' freezin' cold... like a fridge!!!!!!!! BRRRRRR.... I couldn't stay still for too long cuz 'twas cold that I had to take a walk outside 407 (in hallway) to warm myself up (T_T)

Friendster Horoscope for October 17, 2005

2005-10-17T22:14:00.000+07:00

Gemini (May 21 - Jun 21)

The Bottom Line
The only way anything will get done is if you take charge. People will follow your lead.
.::. Hmm... I think it's true... What do you think Nindya?? .::.

this next part of the horoscope isn't that importante.. but I post it anyway..
In Detail
You're so darned fond of conversation that it doesn't take much for you to get involved in one. A bus terminal, the line at the grocery store -- doesn't matter. Communication is your business, and you're good at it. You're also used to keeping up not just your side of the conversation, but your "companion's" side too, but that won't be the case now. You'll be absolutely amazed at the verbal talents of someone you start up one of those chats with now.

Back 2 Nature

2005-10-16T06:14:00.000+07:00

Hmm..udah rada2 basi juga nih.. Abis Tafakur Alam yg gw namain "Back 2 Nature" ini terlaksana tgl 30 September - 2 Oktober, 2005 O_o! Dan gw post tentang ini setelah 2 minggu ^_^; hehe maaph sodara/i...

Eniwei... 'twas a rainy nite on Friday, Sept.30th but we managed to gather @ JWC Campus, and off we go to Puncak... Udah hari jumat... ujan.. lengkap deh pake macet.. udah hari jumat biasa macet ini tambah parah pake ujan... I went on Putri's ride, Toyota Crown, wif Syifa and Pu3's chauffeur (tsah..keren sebutannya). Pas gw duduk nih..bless.. empuk meenn tempat duduknya.. so comfy.. PeWe abizz.. Waktu itu ada mobilnya Farry (Xtrail), Andi & Eko (Avanza kembar) and Ms.Ersa (APV!! hidup APV!! hehe..saya juga punya di rumah.. lho?! ga penting..) dan kita semua janjian tuk berhenti di Rest Area pinggir tol yg ada pom bensinnya abis exit Sentul.

Emang dasar kita udah malem berangkat dari JWC (7PM), it took about 1 hour from JWC to Patung Pancoran O_o Tapi tetep kita jalani.. sampe di Rest Area.. muacett.. orang2 pada ngantri di pom bensin.. ude gitu "si Bocah" alias Syifa ngomel2... "Pengen ke WC.. Pengen nasi.. Pengen ke WC.. Pengen nasi.." halah.. akhirnya sang chauffeur sigap, kita masuk ke Rest Area lewat EXIT sodara-sodara!! Tapi untungnya ga ada mobil yg keluar :P Kemudian Pu3 and I mengantar sang Bocah ke WC.. keluar dari WC "Haah..legaa.... Sekarang mo nasi...!!" halah... ude jam9 malem jadi tempat makan di Rest Area ude tutup nak! Jadi kita lanjut ke arah Puncak, and stop di deket Ciawi.. makan di Resto Sederhana Padang! Makan tuh nasi.. wakaka..

Setelah kenyang nyang nyang.. kita lanjutkan perjuangan ke villa di Puncak (Villa Bougenville deket pintu masuk Kota Bunga) duh..mana masjid Puncak aja belon lewat lagih.. masih jauh perjuangan.. Tapi akhirnya kita sampe di Villa sekitar jam11, shalat Isha berjama'ah dan memulai "Opening Ceremony" padahal cuma ngomong sebentar si Andi, abis itu pada disuruh tidur.

Tgl 1 Oktober 2005 - BBM naeekkk!!! Truz kita pagi2 shalat subuh berjama'ah, breakfast & bath, kemudian Ta'aruf and games! Setelah pada dapet hukuman semua (kecuali Pak Eko) dari maen games sebelonnya (hukumannnya menghafalkan ayat yg diundi) kita semua pada sibuk menghafalkan!! Abis hafalan selese.. tiba2 *jeng jeng* kita keluar ceritanya mo makan siang.. ternyata ke Cibodas.. udah kite2 makannya cuma 1 tangkep roti dgn Nutella.. disuruh HIKING pula!!! 'cem mana ini *nada sok Batak* Capeknyaaa... ude gitu udah naik turun gunung skitar 1 kilo.. cuma mo liat aer terjun bo'.. halah.. siasa seehh yg punya ide hiking inih.. ckckck.. ga tau apah capek.. ude gitu banyak yg anak cowo pake sendal doang O_o! Dan waktu makan siang.. lahap banget dah semuanya..!

Abis itu pulang shalat Dzuhur berjama'ah.. istirahat / nonton VCD Harun Yahya.. shalat Ashar berjama'ah.. bath time.. shalat maghrib berjama'ah.. shalat isha' berjama'ah.. meeting BMS.. Gw bangga dengan temen2 dari Batch 2009.. they have lotsa fresh ideas.. and very excited in this organization :) Senanknyaa... Meetingnya ampe luammaaa gituh.. banyak yg dibahas sih.. Tiba2 ada yg dapet sms mengatakan bahwa Bali di-bomb lagih! ampuunn.. ampuunn..

Tgl 2 Oktober 2005 - Pagi2 sekali (3AM) sebagian dari kita bangun tuk Tahajud kemudian ada Tausyiah dari Pak Eko dan shalat Subuh.. Abis itu yg laen pada tidur lagi, gw sih gak tidur lagi, udah bangun & kena air dingiiinnn banget jadi susah mo tidur lagi... Sekitar jam 8 / 9 (lupa gw) kita siap2 mo berangkat and diadakan penutupan dengan penghadiahan Qur'an kepada Asta en Ginting sebagai 2 peserta yg paling berusaha, I mean their effort in joining this event tuh bener2 kelihatan.. Truz ada last words from me and Andi and a prayer lead by Ms.Ersa then off we go heading back to Jakarta.. On the way to Jakarta, mobilnya Farry, Andi & Putri pada mampir di warung2 pinggir jalan deket Patung Botol Kecap Bango.. ada yg makan roti bakar, jagung bakar, dll.

Dari situ we went our own ways with our own speed.. Pu3 dropped me off @ home. Sesampainya gw di rumah.. *JRENG JRENG* ga ada orang di rumah!!!!!!!! huaaaaa.. mana orang need to go to restroom lagih.. jadi gw telpon nyokap en mereka emang on the way home. Udah 2 kali gw locked out kayak gitu.. nunggu di teras kayak orang bego...

Pas my fam sampe di rumah.. shalat Dzuhur.. eat lunch.. nunggu Ashar.. then off we go to Karet.. my grandpa's last place to rest(dari pihak Ayah).. sebelumnya Ayah, Ibu en Ade udah ke Jeruk Purut (grandma en grandpa dari pihak Ibu) pas gw lagi di perjalanan turun dari Puncak. My grandma from my dad's side Alhamdulillah is still alive and healthy and not forgetful (ga pikun maxudnya).

Udah ah..panjang amet ni entry..

This is so true...

My Friendster Horoscope for October 10^th, 2005

The Bottom Line
You suspect they have a hidden agenda. Give them the benefit of the doubt.

In Detail
You've become more than familiar with irritation, frustration and aggravation, especially due to things that were beyond your control. Of course, your sign, more than many others, can make the best of just about any situation. The good news is that what's happening now goes well beyond being 'lucky.' Go about your business confidently, and know that no matter what happens next, it just can't turn out to be anything but positive. The Universe is on your side.

The things in bold ("You've become more than familiar w/ irritation, frustation and aggravation....") that is sooo true... I don't really believe in Horoscopes, but this is so true. I've been irritated, frustrated and aggravated so much in the last year or so by a lot of people (especially in the last month), that it's become more than familiar to me! If u dunno what I mean, just skip this...

Just writing down sumthin on my mind.... sorry people, I'll write more later, another time bout when I went to Puncak & also the pics....

KEUTAMAAN BULAN SYA'BAN

2005-09-16T11:56:00.000+07:00

Bulan Sya'ban comes before Ramadhan. This is something that I got from an Ustadz that I wanna share with you guys! It's in Indonesian though.

Haa Miim. Demi Kitab Al-Qur'an yang menjelaskan. Sesungguhnya kami menurunkannya pada malam yang diberkahi dan sesungguhnya kami-lah yang memberi peringatan. Pada malam itu dijelaskan segala urusan yang penuh hikmah.
(Ad-Dukhan: 1-4)

Allah Maha Lembut terhadap hamba-hamba-Nya, Dia memberi rizki kepada siapa saja yang dikehendaki-Nya dan Dia-lah Yang Maha Kuat lagi Maha Perkasa.
(Asy-Syura': 19)

Tidak ada suara yang paling disukai Allah Ta'ala selain dari suara seorang hamba yang berdosa kemudian ia bertaubat kepada Allah Ta'ala, maka Allah berkata kepadanya: Labbaik wahai hamba-Ku mintalah apa yang kamu mau.

Jibril AS datang kepadaku pada malam nisfu sya'ban dan berkata: wahai Muhammad, ini adalah suatu malam dimana pintu-pintu langit dan pintu-pintu rahmat dibuka, maka bangunlah dan dirikanlah shalat, angkatlah kepala dan kedua tanganmu ke langit. Lalu aku berkata kepada Jibril: malam apakah ini wahai Jibril? Ia menjawab: ini adalah malam di mana dibukanya 300 pintu rahmat, Allah Ta'ala mengampuni semua orang yang tidak menyekutukanNya dengan sesuatu apapun kecuali penyihir, dukun santet, orang yang memusuhi saudaranya, orang yang meminum khamar, orang yang selalu berzina, orang yang makan riba, orang yang durhaka kepada Ibu Bapaknya, orang yang suka mengadu domba orang lain, dan orang yang memutuskan tali shilahtur rahmi. Mereka itu semua tidak diampuni oleh Allah sampai mereka meninggalkan perbuatan tercela itu.

Apabila datang malam nisfu sya'ban maka hendaklah kamu bangun malam untuk beribadah dan berpuasalah di siang harinya, sesungguhnya Allah Ta'ala pada saat itu turun ke langit dunia ketika terbenam matahari dan berfirman: apakah ada orang yang meminta kepada-Ku, niscaya akan Aku kabulkan permintaannya. Apakah ada orang yang meminta ampun kepada-Ku, niscaya akan Aku ampuni dosanya. Apakah ada orang yang meminta rizki kepada-Ku, niscaya akan Aku beri ia rizki, sampai terbit fajar.

Tatkala datang malam ke-13 dari bulan Sya'ban, Malaikat Jibril datang kepadaku dan berkata: wahai Muhammad bangunlah, telah tiba waktu tahajjud untuk engkau meminta keinginanmu atas ummatmu. Maka Nabi SAW mengerjakannya. Lalu Jibril mendatanginya ketika terbit shubuh dan berkata: wahai Muhammad, sesungguhnya Allah telah memberikan kepadamu (anugerah) untuk 1/3 ummatmu saja, maka Nabi SAW menangis dan berkata: wahai Jibril beri tahu aku bagaimana tentang 2/3 lagi dari ummatku yang tersisa? Jibril menjawab: aku tidak tahu.

Lalu Jibril mendatanginya kembali pada malam kedua (malam ke-14) dan berkata: wahai Muhammad bangunlah dan bertahajjudlah. Maka Nabi SAW mengerjakannya, lalu Jibril mendatanginya ketika fajar dan berkata: wahai Muhammad Allah telah memberikan anugerah untuk 2/3 ummatmu, maka menangislah Nabi SAW dan berkata: wahai Jibril bagaimanakah dengan 1/3 ummatku yang tersisa? Jibril menjawab: aku tidak tahu.

Kemudian ia mendatanginya lagi pada malam kebebasan (malam ke-15) dan berkata: wahai Muhammad, kabar gembira untukmu sesungguhnya Allah Ta'ala telah memberikan anugerah untuk semua ummatmu yang tidak menyekutukanNya dengan sesuatu apapun. Lalu Jibril berkata: wahai Muhammad angkatlah kepalamu ke langit dan pandanglah apa yang kau lihat, maka Nabi SAW memandang pintu-pintu langit terbuka nampak para maliakat naik dari langit dunia menuju Arsy seraya mereka sujud dan meminta ampun untuk ummat Nabi Muhammad SAW, dan pada tiap-tiap pintu ada malaikat.

Pada pintu yang pertama malaikat berseru: beruntunglah orang yang ruku' pada malam ini. Pada pintu yang kedua malaikat berseru: beruntunglah orang yang sujud pada malam ini. Pada pintu yang ketiga malaikat berseru: beruntunglah orang yang berzikir pada malam ini. Pada pintu yang keempat malaikat berseru: beruntunglah orang yang berdo'a kepada Tuhannya pada malam ini. Pada pintu yang kelima malaikat berseru: beruntunglah orang yang menangis karena takut kepada Allah pada malam ini. Pada pintu yang keenam malaikat berseru: beruntunglah orang yang berbuat baik pada malam ini. Pada pintu yang ketujuh malaikat berseru: beruntunglah orang yang membaca Al-Qur'an pada malam ini.

Kemudian para malaikat itu berseru: apakah ada orang yang meminta kepada Allah, niscaya akan dikabulkan permintaanya. Apakah ada orang yang berdo'a kepada Allah, niscaya akan dikabulkan do'anya. Apakah ada orang yang bertaubat kepada Allah, niscaya akan Allah terima taubatnya. Apakah ada orang yang meminta ampun kepada Allah, niscaya akan diampuni baginya.

Ya Allah, jika Engkau telah menulis namaku sebagai orang yang sengsara di dalam golongan orang-orang yang sengsara, maka hapuskanlah catatan itu dan tulislah aku ke dalam golongan orang-orang yang bahagia. Dan jika Engkau telah menulis namaku sebagai orang yang bahagia di dalam golongan orang-orang yang bahagia, maka tetapkanlah catatan itu, karena sesungguhnya Engkau telah berfirman di dalam kitab-Mu (Allah menghapus apa saja yang Ia kehendaki dan menetapkannya, dan di sisi-Nya ada Ummul Kitab). Dan Allah melimpahkan shalawat dan salam kepada junjungan kami Nabi Muhammad SAW dan juga kepada keluarganya serta para sahabatnya, dan Segala puji bagi Allah Tuhan semesta alam.

Hajatan di sebelah

2005-09-16T11:26:00.000+07:00

Selamat menempuh hidup baru tuk tetangga-ku!!

Hari ini serasa di Jawa Barat.. abis pagi2 ada lagu Sunda, pake suling Sunda. Kan tetangga sebelah gw orang Sunda, kayak nyokap gw.. Hari ini siraman tuk anaknya yg mo nikah, anaknya cewe. Siangnya ada pengajian. Nanti sore ampe malem ayah-ibu mo kondangan.. ahaha ke undangan maxudnya (Betawi banget seehh). Jadi anak dari sepupunya Ayah mo nikah, and 2day is the Wedding Day. This Sunday is the day for di-adat-in secara Batak. Yup! My Dad is Batak and my Mom is Sundanese :) Gado2 ya gw..maybe I've mentioned that before, but it's ok :)

Nu semester..my 7th.. sigh

2005-09-06T15:52:00.000+07:00

I only have 1 subject this semester, that is Games Design and Programming!!! Liat judulnya aja pas ujung2nya ada kata Programming..udah deh.. langsung pusying... Well since there's only 1 subject, I only go 2 campus on Monday (LAB) and Tuesday(lecture)!! hahaha.. happy happy joy joy :D

Tapi nanti gw pasti dikejar2 skripsi alias Thesis!! Kalo bisa sih selese dalam 1 semester, kalo gak paling lama 1 tahun-lah = 2 semester. Tapi posisi gw sekarang juga sebagai Vice President of BiNus Moslem Society (BMS) alias Rohis-nya kampus gw.. heran ya?? "Koq Mutia bisa jadi WaKa Rohis?!?! O_o!" Lha..itu pertanyaan yang gw tanyain ke diri gw sendiri sebenernya
^___^;; au'ah..gw yang sembarangan kayak gini koq bisa yaa...?? Well hope that with this position I can be a better Moslem, menjadi Muslimah yang lebih baik dari sebelumnya.. Amiiinn...

Tapi walo jadwal gw dibilang kosong enggak juga sih, gw pasti nanti sibuk di BMS. Truz gw mo lanjutin fitness gw yang ilang jadwalnya minggu lalu gara2 e.COM dan juga les Jepang hari Kamis pagi.. Udah gak inget lagee neehh Nihongo-nya.. ;( banyak Pe-eR Nihongo lageee, hix... PLUS!!!! My Thesis atau skripsi gw, kalo di kampus gw dibilang Thesis... Sumthin' 'bout HCI.. Anyway, in my campus u are allowed to do your thesis in groups of maximal 3 people. And that would be a good strategy if your Thesis is making an Application. But then I'm stuck with myself, and I can't do programming that good. It's not that I can't cooperate with others, tapiii...gw "keabisan" orang ahaha.. Jadi gw curhat gitu ke dosen, beliau bilang ya udah you sendiri aja, bikin Thesis bukan Application tapi Theory, either on Computing Theory or HCI. *dipiki-piki* hmm..boleh juga... and I'm off in making a Thesis proposal.

m(_ _)m Doa'kan saya yaaa teman2... dan qu doa'kan teman2 yang juga sedang skripsi atau tugas akhir juga ;)

TTFN! :)

Lost in the News

2005-09-02T15:40:00.000+07:00

From year to year e.COM takes our attention away from the outside world. For the 4 days of e.COM this year (just like last year) I focused on e.COM only, and nothing else. I was always going to campus early in the morning and getting home late in the nite. So at the times when I am at home there were no news on TV and the paper's delivered after I leave home. When I arrive at home at nite I was too tired to read the paper, and there's no news on TV. Lagian gw pulang orang rumah udah pada tidur, atau lagi nonton film apaaa gitu.

And so when I watched the news 2day..I was shocked!! *mengheningkan cipta dimulai*

New Orleans, Louisiana was hit by Hurricane Katrina!! It was kinda like seeing the tsunami situation in Aceh, Indonesia (my beloved country Indonesia). Corpse everywhere, and part of the city flooded. It shows no matter how "strong" your country is economically, it doesn't mean that it's impossible that a disaster would happen.

-------------------------------------------------

Update:
I feel upset with the US Government, why are they still racial?! They are always teaching us in school to not be racist, but they still are... So all the teachings in school are all of no use in my opinion!! I use to go to school in the US, and so I know what they teach you about racialism in school. Who cares if you got black-colored skin, white-colored skin, red-colored skin, brown-colored skin, yellow-colored skin, green-colored skin, purple-colored skin, whatever... we are all the same.. Isn't that what the teachers teach us in school...? Then that's what we should practice in our life, not to be racist..! They should immediately send help to Louisiana!!!

e.COM'05 4th Day

2005-09-01T23:55:00.000+07:00

Well all I can say..All's well that ends well.

For Spelling Bee Round 4, I was still able to handle it with the help of Irine in "lending an ear". But for Round 5, I had a headache, a side-effect I think because of handling 3 rounds as a single Judge actually. And so we all switched places. Irine became the Judge, Tephi became "Irine's ear", and I became the pronouncer. The participants were, IMHO, a bit confused with my accent. Cuz I used pure American accent...kasihan juga ya ngedenger "cara orang bule ngomong". The winning word was: "Ileitis" and Sylvia (if I'm not mistaken) from SMUK 4 Penabur won 1st place, Michael Tedjauli from AtmaJaya in 2nd place, and Edwin from Bina Bangsa School in 3rd.

This year's Closing Ceremony was waaaaayyyy BETTER than last year's and the years before. The committee made it HEBOH by doing a BIG Line Dance 'round the lobby and stage to the last songs sung by the band "008" which consists of BiNus IUP students. It was really fun and we tossed Faustina as the Project Leader into the air, 'bout 2-3 meters high!!! Gw takut Faust jatuh... ^_^;; Then people were tossed into the water fountain, 1st it was Faustina, then Erich as the Chief Adju, and then an LO named Ian. WHOA..were they wet..! A fun and gr8t Closing Ceremony this year!!

After the short Eva I gave a handshake to ALL committee thanking and congratulating them. I think that the newbie people thought that I was really really angry last nite, that when I shook their hands they were apologizing to me!! Duh kasian juga gw marahin kemaren... Emang gw upset sih, but that was yesterday.. Then after cleaning up the building, we went to Roti Bakar Eddy Blok M at Jl.Raden Patah to eat together. I feel sorry for Quino cuz he doesn't ubderstand what's on the menu ^__^;; So when he asked what sate/satay was.. David said, "It's meat on a stick!" huahaha.. Quino..kasiaaann deh loe..harus banyak belajar bahasa Indonesia! Pake nanya lagi..partikel "sih", "deh" dan "lah" tuh dipake dalam situasi apa?? Gw bilang aja, "It's all about your experience in speaking in Indonesian Quino..." Gimana cara gw jelasin kapan dipakenya?!

e.COM'05 3rd Day

2005-08-31T22:48:00.000+07:00

Didn't really see much of e.COM 2day cuz I focused on Spelling Bee (SP), that's cuz 2day I'm starting to play my role as a Judge along with Irine. Irine helped me out in figuring if what the participant said was correct. But Irine was with me only in the morning for Round 2.

Like about 3 of the participants spelled "J" as "G"..and so they were wrong even though what they meant was "J" but they said "G"! Anyway, for the afternoon, or Round 3, I was on my own as a Judge. Ternyata memusingkan dan bikin capek kalo jadi Judge.. I realized it in Round 3! I had to hear tons of people spell tons of words, whilst looking at the correct spelling. And there was this one girl who spelled too fast..sheesh...

Capek gw capek..padahal cuma dengerin orang doang.. Gw udah biasa dengerin curhatnya orang tapi itu gak bikin gw capek.

By the way, after Faustina "scolded" and got angry at the crew (aka the committee), I also expressed my feelings of sadness and upset by raising my voice to a high tone. I said that I was upset as last year's Project Leader b'coz the crew does not listen to Faustina in the previous Eva meetings, that is why up 'til the 3rd day of e.COM we still had problems, PLUS we had negative response from the questionnaires.. Hope that the last day turns out well...

e.COM'05 2nd Day

2005-08-30T22:29:00.000+07:00

Even though I'm not playing my role as a Judge yet today, I helped the Spelling Bee team in "grading" the written test of the participants and before that I helped in watching over the participants as they take the test. It was really funny in seeing the participants' reactions to some of the words being read by Stephanie (Tephi) as the Pronouncer!! There was this one word that Tephi said, and this girl put her hand over her mouth as she said, "Mampusss.." huahahaha... gw pengen ketawa sebenarnya ngeliat reaksi para peserta! Tapi masa' pengawas test ketawa kayak orgil pas test-nya sedang berlangsung?! (O_o)

After the Spelling Bee Written Test was over, I returned to 311 to take a rest or just berdiam diri..not really laying down or anything. Then I watched the lunch performance, and after that I went back to 311. For Spelling Bee (SP) we didn't have anything else to do except for Tephi to practice her pronounciation with me. But since there were Adisti and Tika singing crazily to these tons of songs (tapi ada juga sih bagian yang "bener"nya), we stayed in 311 for awhile to be crazy wit 'em! Emang begitulah tiap tahun... tiap e.COM karena saking stress-nya semua orang panitia, jadi pada gila!!

Well after the craziness was over, Tephi and I went upstairs to 407 (IT Div. room) to practice pronounciation... I feel sorry for Tephi cuz she was gettin' tired of pronouncing ^___^;;

e.COM '05 1st Day

2005-08-29T22:58:00.000+07:00

In the wee morning when I entered 311 I met Widya (Nindya's sister), she seems a bit more calm than her sister ^__^;; Since there were a lot of participants who didn't take a pic on the Technical Meeting, they had 2 take it 2day. Sooo the DPD (Design Production & Documentation) people including Nindya had to be at the lobby to stand by. But then, since Tommy came late nobody took pics of the Opening Ceremony!!! OMG! THAT is a BIG mistake that we didn't expect. But then when I was watching the Op.Ceremony with Widya I saw some people taking pics with their own camera or handphone. I took some pics too with my hp, since I 4got to bring my digicam :) Sooo the DPD people can get the pics from me.

Well today I was busy in the lab mostly after the Opening Ceremony. I was finishing up the Spelling Bee Word List. Tapi kalo boleh jujur, Opening Ceremony and lunch performance 2day ga heboh, gak kayak tahun lalu. Last year when I asked the committee to make noise or make a "wave" they did it, tahun ini panitianya kurang berani tampil & kurang heboh en rame. Itu aja sih kecewanya gw...

O IYA!! Another thing is..there were lots of the committee members who did NOT speak in English!!! Kecewa gw...

But it was fine..by the way, none of the people who planned to sleepover at my place did so. And then I went home with Irine and Venez after the Eva (Evaluation Meeting). Oia karena Irine and Venez laper aye traktir mereka makan malem di depan rumah, alias jajanan lapangan Blok S. Daqu menyalahi aturan diet gara2 e.COM ini... ^___^;;

Berlian Billiard

2005-08-28T19:32:00.000+07:00

Oh man... I am NOT good in 9-ball, I'd rather play 8-ball. I played Billiard today with Dad, Mom and Ikhsan, but Mom just sat down on the couch. Now this place, Berlian Billiard, is a billiard place that doesn't sell alcohol cuz it's purpose is for sports. So there're some VIP and even VVIP rooms. That is why my parents allow me to play billiard in this place only, before we discovered this place I was never allowed to go play in other places with my frenz. Well whenever we play in Berlian Billiard we always use the VVIP room.

Anyway... even though I'm not good in 9-ball, I try u know. But 2day I'm really happy! Cuz the 1st game I played against my li'l bro (Ikhsan) I won!!! But then the score was 3-2 with Ikhsan winning 3 game sets... but then 2day it seems that my skills in taking shots are improving :) *happy*

9-ball is about luck most of the time. Like even if I shot in ball 1-8, if I can't get 9 in and my opponent gets it.. I am doomed... I lose. But in 8-ball it's all about the total of the balls shot. Like when I lost to my dad, 'twas b'coz I pushed in the 9-ball then the white cue ball bounced and went into the hole on the other side of the table!!! "HUAAAA...!!!!!", I screamed. It was very shocking, since the cue ball went in, automatically my dad wins. Huaaa dudul gw, terlalu kenceng jadi mental, masuk deh cue ball.... ;(

You know, some people think playing billiard is easy, but it's not. You need to think about physics and math when u play, technically.. Like the angle u need to take and how hard the power of your shot is. Now I've improved my angle skills..even though it's not a 100% success
^___^;;

I've been a geek all my life.. so puzzle games and mind-twisting or mind-bending games are my type of games.. including this sport named billiard....

e.COM'05 Tech Meeting

2005-08-26T21:22:00.000+07:00

Arrived @ campus @ 9AM, already crowded wit people.. some I don't know. That's cuz they're from the new batch, the 2009 Batch. I only know 2 of 'em, Asta & Miftah, & that's cuz of the religion session in the O'Days. Kalo gw bukan Pengurusnya BMS (Binus Moslem Society) gw ga bakalan kenal juga ama mereka ber2 ^_____^;;

And this was the schedule according to Faustina (e.COM 2005's Project Leader) :

9 AM Pre-Simulation Meeting
9:30 AM Simulation
11 AM Pre-Technical Meeting
12 - 1 PM Lunch & Re-registration (participants)
1 - 2 PM Re-registration (participants)
2 - 4 PM Technical Meeting
4 - 6 PM Evaluation and Last Preparation Meeting (Eva)

Yach tapi nyatanya Indonesia emang jam karet.. jadi Eva-nya mulai baru skitar jm 5-an truz selese 7:30 PM.

Well..met lotsa people 2day..intinya itu..dan juga gw seneng. Udah lama ga ikutan kegiatan kepanitiaan kayak ini, wong e.COM yg gw ikutin kan udah 1 tahun berlalu. Jadi seneng aja gitu, walo harus keringetan (bikin guidebook), pusying (ambil foto peserta buat e.COM System Database) dan capek.. it's really fun to be in an organization! You get to meet new people so it widens your social network, have more friends..pokoke ketemu berbagai macam orang deh. Dan sudah pasti..kalo ada acara2 beginian kelakuan orang tuh ada2 aja deh yang aneh. Jadi inget tahun lalu... ada kasus-nya Sam, Karim en Coro. But I didnt' write it down in this blog of mine. They were doin' gay things.. OMG they were soo gay... ahaha :) pengen ketawa mengingatnya.

^___________^;;;

Pokoke gw excited banget tuk e.COM tahun ini! The total of the Participants doubled from last year! This year we have 'bout 400-sumthin'. WHOA!! Amazing! Congrats to Faustina and her team.. I'm juz an Advisor here this time.. not too helpful :D

Plus I'm gonna be a Judge for Spelling Bee this year! Doa'kan saya jadi juri yang bisa melaksanakan tugas dengan baik ;)

SEMANGAT!!!!!! buat semua panitia e.COM 2005!!!!!!!!

---------------------------------------------------------------

For the 1st Time in History

2005-08-24T18:09:00.000+07:00

Try this:
http://www.worldbadminton.net/Portal/desktopdefault.aspx?tabid=10&ItemID=1854

For the 1st time in history... USA made it to the Semi-Finals... even to the Finals of Badminton Champioships... AND EVEN got a medal!!! Not just any medal... but a GOLD MEDAL!!! That sucks, cuz I'm an Indonesian. It's s'posed to be an All-Indonesian Final in this 2005 World Badminton Championship. D'ya know why I said that? Cuz 3 out of the 4 players playing in the Final of the Men's Doubles are Indonesians.. the other guy (Howard Bach) is a Vietnamese-born..but he became an American citizen (if I'm not wrong), I despise the guy. The other three are: Chandra Wijaya and Sigit Budiarto playing for Indonesia, and Tony Gunawan playing for USA.

But on the other hand, even though the Indonesian team didn't bring home 3 Gold Medals but instead 2 Gold, 1 Silver and 1 Bronze, somehow I feel proud of Tony Gunawan. Cuz of his badminton-playing, his name was screamed by the Americans in support of his play. Bangga juga sih orang2 bule itu pada teriakin dan mengelu-elukan namanya... Ada orang bule nge-fans ama orang kita bo'! Sampe2 nama Tony ditulis di forehead-nya seorang cewe bule! Lucu juga... But then I'd be ashamed if I was an American, cuz it means USA didn't win purely, cuz they didn't use their own people, they paid Tony to play.

What do YOU think?

Pengkhianat Bangsa... ;(

2005-08-21T14:33:00.000+07:00

Sad..but true.. I don't know why Tony Gunawan did this but it's sad... Prob'ly Tony's not "used" anymore on the Indonesian National Badminton team, that's why he chose to play for another country... *sigh*

Try this:
http://www.worldbadminton.net/Portal/desktopdefault.aspx?tabid=10&ItemID=1853

Nyesek banget gitu..nonton Semi-Final antara USA VS Indonesia (Team 2). It should've been an All-Indonesian Finals... huff... if only Tony stayed with us.

Sakit loh... apalagi gw merasa orang Indonesia-banget (lha..emang iya) maxudnya rasa nasionalisme gw kuat, jadiii ngeliat orang kayak gitu gw esmosi nonton pertandingannya.
^_________^;;

Pas diwawancara aja, Tony Gunawan bilang, "I'm going to go against my old partner, Chandra Wijaya.." cuih... Gak hormat lagi gw ama Tony, padahal gw bangga banget waktu beberapa tahun yang lalu dia berdua ama Chandra main. It was juz amazing seeing them play together in 1 team! Jadi nanti Tim 1 Indonesia akan melawan USA...

USA cheated...that's what I can say..maruk. Di cabang OR Badminton, dimana dia gak pernah masuk Semi-Final, "maksa" masuk dengan menggunakan jasa "orang luar" biar di-"sabet" ajah gitu gelar IBF! Ih curang abiss... terus terang aja gak mampu main bulu tangkis yang namanya orang bule Amrik! Jangan maksa kenape?! (O_o) I mean, it seems like USA just wanna be "Numero Uno" at eeeeev'rything! So they cheat in getting what they want, meng-halal-kan s'gala cara tuk mendapatkan yang diinginkan...!! Either it's (in this case) sports, politics, economy, et cetera, et cetera..the list goes on and on... huaduh... pusying... menyedihkan ya orang USA itu.. I don't know who's idea it was to put "foreigners" in USA's team. Pada bangga lagi pas dinyatakan USA menang & masuk Semi-Final!! Jijay bajaj.. cap cay.. siomay.. (O_o);;;

Walo gw pernah masa kecil disana(read: USA) tapi gw udah gak peduli lagi, gak respect lagi deh ama USA. Abis gitu sihh...

The Twins

2005-08-18T17:20:00.000+07:00

The Twins are Kak Fenny's Twin Daughters.. Their names are Sharla and Diandra. dipanggil Lala and Dee-dee..hehe lucu ya? Di
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v231/MewTeeA/merah-putih_my_ver.gif
ada fotonya mereka^__^;; lutunaaaa... They're bout a year old.

Eniwei, from Monday 'til today (15th - 18th of August) mereka dititipin di rumah Pung Mama. Dan karena nyokap perlu therapy for her backaches at Dad's office (BI), after she's done with the therapy she goes to Pung Ma's house. Pung Ma emang akhir2 ini semakin lemah ;(( wajar aja sih, she's 87 years old already, but she still has strong memory!!! Then I pick Mom up with the chauffeur. Otomatis gw ketemu ama Si Kembar. hehehe senangnyaa....I feel entertained when around li'l kids :D

Kalo Lala langsung nempel..Dee-dee agak susah ama orang yang udah lama gak pernah ketemu, apalagi pas hari Selasa itu Dee-dee baru bangun. Gw ajak Lala keluar liat aquarium ikan, truz main di kamar. Truz sebelum lunch gw pulang. Pas 17-an juga, on Wednesday after havin' lunch Mom, Dad and I went to Pung Ma's house again. Ade ada acara di SMUN8 after the flag ceremony. When we arrived at Pung Ma's house, the Twins were still there this time with their parents, Kak Fenny and Bang Henry. Like the day before, it didn't take long for Lala to be "stuck" on me. Mau aja gituh gw gendong, ga protes^___^;;

Hari itu, Dee-dee juga baru bangun jadi belum nyadar gw itu siapa, jadi ga mau digendong ama gw. Pas udah agak sore, mereka mandi sore. Selese mereka mandi sore, Ade gw telpon minta dijemput. Jadi gw yang tadinya main "ciluk-baa" ama si Kembar di depan pintu kamarnya, jadi melambaikan tangan sambil mengatakan, "Daag! Dadaahh!"

Eeeehhh..!! Tau2nya Dee-dee nge-rengek minta digendong! Udah nge-rangkak ampe pinggir tempat tidur..karena gw takut dia jatuh akhirnya gw masuk ke kamar nyamperin dia. Truz tangannya ke atas minta digendong. Karena gak tega gw gendong, truz dia nunjuk2 keluar. Gw bilang, "Gak boleh Dee-dee, Dee-dee belum pakai baju.."

Truz pas dia mo dipakein singlet ama Mbak-nya eh..marah! Wuaduh galak juga Dee-dee ^___^ Tapi dengan usaha yang keras dari Mbak, akhirnya terpakaikan juga singletnya..tapi celana belum... Dia minta gw bawa keluar..karena di depan rumah Pung Ma lagi ada lomba 17-Agustusan, dan ada lagunya, jadi dia tertarik mo keluar. Tapi karena gw udah buru2 harus pulang mo jemput ade, akhirnya gw taro Dee-dee lagi di tempat tidur...eeehhh dia teriak truz nangis! Kalo kata Pung Ma, Ade'nya (Diandra) cemburu ama Kakaknya (Sharla) karena dari tadi yang digendong sama Auntie Mutia cuma Kakaknya, cieehhh Auntie Mutia ;) Abis kalo gw dipanggil Tante Mutia..kesannya kayak Tante2 bangettt gitu loh... atau Tante2 girang!! huaaaa...

Udah gw "oper" ke Emak-nya (Kak Fenny) Dee-dee masih nangis ampe teriak gituh...Duh kasian.. tapi mo gimana lagi? Auntie harus pergi.. Gw bilang, "Enggak, Auntie gak jahat koq ama Dee-dee. Besok Auntie Mutia kesini lagi deh. Ya? Dadaahhh..." Makin kenceng aje nangisnya! Waduh gawat..! Biar aja deh biar Mak-nya aja yang urus ^____^ ehehe... Maaph Kak Fen, tapi anakmu yang nempel2 ama aku lohh ^____^;;

Hari ini gw kesana lagi, tapi gak lama..karena Ibu pengen pulang cepet, ngantuk katanya abis di-therapy.. Duh lucu deh... Gw baru dateng, truz Mbak Lastri keluar bawa Lala, gw sodorin tangan gw, langsung dia mau digendong ama gw!! aiiihhh...lutunaaaaa... Tapi gw gak lama gendong Lala, karena kemaren Dee-dee nangis karena iri, jadi gw bilang, "Lala gantian ya Auntie gendong Dee-dee sekarang.." Jadi gw gendong Dee-dee.

Pas Ibu udah mo pulang gw balikin lagi Dee-dee ke Mbaknya. Truz gw bilang lagi, "Dadaaahhh..." Awalnya Dee-dee anteng2 ajah. Pas Lala en Dee-dee dibawa keluar ama Mbak-nya dan juga Mbak Lastri (Mbak Lastri pembantunya Pung Ma, jadi sebenernya Mbaknya si Kembar cuma 1, gw ga tau pula namanya Mbak siapa ^___^;;;) Dee-dee baru sadar bahwa gw mo pergi. Gw udah mo jalan ke mobil dia minta gendong, gw dadah-dadah..dia nge-rengek... Jadi gw gendong lagi sebentar, truz gw balikin lagi ke Mbak-nya. Eh nangis lageee, jadi dibawa ke dalem ama Mbak-nya. Hahaha... lucu. Kata Ibu, "Hayoo loh.. Mut tanggung jawab kamu, bikin anak orang nempel ama kamu truz nangis."

Wuaduh...bukan salah gw kan anak2 kecil selalu nempel ama gw??? Kata Ibu, 'Nik (ibunya Ibu-ku, singkatan dari kata Ninik = Grandma in Sundanese) doeloe juga kayak gitu... anak2 kecil selalu seneng ama dia, langsung nempel gitu. Wah ternyata ada sifat atau aura 'Nik yang turun ke gw. Kalo kata Ade gw yang rese' itu.."Kakak punya aura seorang baby-sitter..." Kurang asyemmmmm..!!!!! Bukan begitu...emang sih dari SMP waktu di USA, gw jadi baby-sitter tuk anak2nya temennya Ibu yang orang Indo yang tinggal disana, pas Ibunya pergi kerja. Ponakan gw yang sekarang udah kelas 2 SD, Dinda aja pernah nginep di rumah gw pas Kak Ita pergi ke Medan, truz gw bantu jagain. Pas kuliah tingkat 2 juga, gw pernah kerja di sebuah Pre-School & Day Care, ada 1 anak bernama Icha yang nempel ama gw. Di kampus aja.. gw dipanggil Mami!!! Huaduh...awalnya gw ngerasa aneh..tapi yaa sudahlah... Awalnya Nopi yang manggil gw Mami, truz Icha..truz "anak" gw tambah banyak!!! wakakaka... Kata Nopi sih gw punya aura ke-Ibu-an, pantesan kalo lagi di jalan gw dipanggil "Ibu" melulu. Sampe2 ama tukang jualan jus di depan rumah gw bilangin, "Mang, jangan panggil Ibu, baru 20 tahun masa' dipanggil Ibu..."

Jadi...bukan salah gw kan anak2 kecil selalu nempel ama gw???

One Last Cry by Brian McKnight

2005-08-12T22:00:00.000+07:00

My shattered dreams and broken heart
Are mending on the shelf
I saw you holding hands
Standing close to someone else
Now I sit all alone
Wishing all my feeling was gone
I gave my best to you
Nothing for me to do
But have one last cry

Chorus:
One last cry
Before I leave it all behind
I've gotta put you out of my mind this time
Stop living a lie
I guess I'm down to my last cry

I was here, you were there
Guess we never could agree
While the sun shines on you
I need some love to rain on me
Still I sit all alone
Wishing all my feeling was gone
Gotta get over you
Nothing for me to do
But have one last cry

Chorus:
One last cry
Before I leave it all behind
I've gotta put you out of my mind this time
Stop living a lie

I know I gotta be strong
Cause round me life goes on and on and on and on

I'm gonna dry my eyes
Right after I end my one last cry

Chorus:
One last cry
Before I leave it all behind
I've gotta put you out of my mind for the very last time
Been living a lie
I guess I'm down
I guess I'm down
I guess I'm down...
to my last cry

.:---:. Mike 1 of the Finalists of Indonesian Idol sang this song today in the Final Battle of the 2nd Indo Idol. And I was touched...(aku terharuuu) *sigh* If I have a guy, and he sang me this song I would melt right then and there^_^; By the way, if u're in Indonesia...VOTE FOR MIKE!!! Text MIKE and send to 9288 before 8PM (WIB) 2moro .:---:.

Wedding Reception & Neko Died

2005-07-16T18:15:00.000+07:00

No not my wedding reception, 'twas the daughter of 1 of my neighbors in Pasar Minggu.

Di siang hari seperti biasa kami sekeluarga pergi makan siang bersama, pada saat kami keluar rumah, Neko (kucing kecil yang nyasar ke rumah kami & sering aku&Ade ajak main) masih berlarian mengikuti aku & Ade'qu...

Maghrib pas kami pulang Neko udah tergeletak tak bernafas lagi di halaman rumah.... Aku tak tau apa yang terjadi padanya. :(

Aku sedih.... ;(

Kami meminta tolong tukang kebun BI tuk menguburnya di halaman. Hix hix... goodbye Neko I'll never 4get u. I still have the video clips of Neko running around saved in my cell phone...

But I wasn't s'posed to be sad too long, we had a Reception to go to! So I hurried upstairs and took a bath, ganti baju and VOILA! Berubah! Kami berangkat ke Undangan tsb dan makan2, hehehe.... Tapi tetep aja gw sedih Neko pergi.... ;(

Terharu karena Mike

2005-07-15T18:13:00.000+07:00

Mike nyanyi "Unchained Melody" pada Babak Spektakuler Indonesian Idol hari ini! Dan itu sangat2 mengharukan sekaleeeeeee...!!! hix..terharu... aku terharuuuuu...

Go to Puncak

2005-07-13T18:02:00.000+07:00

Naik naik ke puncak gunung.... For my holidays I only went to Puncak! And also Sukabumi wit my college frenz. Yah paling jauh Jawa Barat-lah..Bandung. Tadinya rencana ke Bali tapi gak ada waktu en biayanya, but it's ok jadilah kami ke Puncak tgl 13-15 Juli. Nginep di Hotel Prameswari yang termasuk "old hotel" deket Istana Cipanas. Yaaa gak reyot sih, tapi kerasa it's an old hotel, ya know wat I'm sayin'? Pas gw lagi "masyalah bulanan" lagi..sakiiitt... tapi terobati dengan melihat pemandangan pegunungan yang indah :D

I took some photos of it, I was tryin' out my photography skills. I'll post it up later on ;) I promise I'll post those photos and also Moo²'s photos.

Dangdutan & Billiard!!

2005-07-09T16:42:00.000+07:00

HUWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Udah semalem gw ga bisa tidur gara2 tukang pada ketak-ketok bikin panggung dangdut di lapangan (Blok S) tepat di depan rumah gw lageehhh... Gile tuh sound system menggetarkan seluruh kaca di rumah gw.. >___<

Since my parents weren't @ home (they went to the Wedding Reception of Agus & Annissa @ Bogor) I was stuck @ home wit my li'l bro, dan pembantu gw pergi ama pacarnya.

Gw: "Gimana nih 'san...Kakak gak mau di rumah kalo begini caranya..." *sambil nunjuk2 ke arah depan rumah* (btw, nama ade gw Ikhsan)

Ade: "Katanya Kakak mau ke PIN pengen tau kayak gimana environment-nya. Gimana sih.."

Gw: " Iya ya..." *ragu2*

Ade: "Gimana sih Kak. Kan Kakak yang ngomel2 pengen ngungsi dari rumah kalo pas ada dangdutan..."

Gw: "Hmmm..." *suasana hening*(sebenarnya kagak hening sih, wong ada suara2 dari
lapangan depan rumah)

setelah beberapa saat
Gw: "Ok deh, kita berangkat. Tapi Kakak mandi en Maghrib doeloe ya!"

Ade: "OK."

Setelah selesai mandi en shalat, seperti biasa cewe mandi lebih lama daripada cowo, jadi pas gw lagi nyisir rambut Ade gw ribut, "Kak buruan dong!"

Gw: "Iya..iya...wait a minute...)but it turns out to be 15 minutes or so ^_^;; haha

Sekitar jam 7 kurang sekian kami mengunci semua pintu, setelah itu kami berjalan ke depan pos satpam sambil diiringi alunan musik dangdut dan mencegat sebuah taxi biru di Jl.Suryo kemudian meluncurlah kami ke arah Pondok Indah.

Sesampainya di PIN, kami langsung main di meja billiard yang di lantai 1, karena kata Ade di lantai 2 banyak yang ngerokok biasanya. Karena aku tak melihat ada yang ngerokok di lantai 1 jadi kami main disitu. Setelah puas main sekitar 1 jam, perut Ade keroncongan sehingga kami
membayar jasanya (maen billiard) dan berjalanlah kami ke Mall Pondok Indah (PIM)! Gelap bo' (O_o) perjalanannya dari PIN ke Mall, gak disangka...

Sesampainya disana kami makan di Daily Bread, tapi sewaktu saya sedang memesan makanan, Ade berkata, "Kak, aku kebelet nih, ke WC doeloe ya."

Dasar, bocor tuh anak. Anyways, I ate a Caesar Salad and my bro ate a Tuna Sandwich, which was all yummy yummy in the tummy! Setelah kenyang kami ke Gramedia dan beli2 komik! Senangnyaaaa.... hehehehe.... Itu-pun pas sampe di Gramedia tokonya udah mo tutup karena udah jam 21.28! Tu2pnya jam 21.30... sehingga kami buru2 berburu komik! Try to say that 10 times in a row! haha... Karena sudah malam kami berniat pulang, tetapi jalan kami pulang tidak lancar. Takada taxi di dalam area parkir Mall karena adanya pembangunan Mall PI 2, jadi
kami mencari taxi di luar area PIM. Susah juga...banyak taxi biru yang supirnya cuma mangkal disitu tuk makan malam dan kemudian pulang karena udah waktunya mereka pulang. Jadinya kami pake jasa "joki" seorang Mas2 yang bertugas mencegat taxi, dan setelah sekian lama kami
mendapatkan a ride home....fiuhh...

Sesampainya di rumah gw kira udah selese ntuh dangdutan...eehhh.. masih ada lagi! Tapi gak lama setelah gw tiba di rumah ntuh dangdutan selese sih..jadi gak terlalu lama gw tersiksa dengan aluna musik tersebut ^____^;; dan pembantu gw sampe di rumah juga gak lama setelah gw sampe. Bo-nyok gw juga sampe di rumah hampir tengah malem! Katanya tuk salaman ama pengantin en ortu mereka aja ngantri-nya puanjaaannnggg sekaleee....

Annissa & Agus

2005-07-09T16:31:00.000+07:00

Not much to say..except...

CONGRATULATIONS NEWLY WEDS AGUS & ANNISSA!!!!!!! May 4JJ1 bless the 2 of u :)

Padahal mereka gak kenal gw^_^;; Gimana mo kenal?! Agus is the President's son and Annissa is a celeb PLUS the daughter of one of the bosses in Bank Indonesia (BI). But since my Dad works in BI AND also knows Mr.Aulia Pohan (Annissa's dad) so Dad and Mom were invited to the Wedding Reception in the Bogor President Residence. They said that there were A LOT of foooood......... *ngiler* Duh pokoke pasangan ini serasi banget² deh! Semoga langgeng!

Sleepover

2005-07-06T15:34:00.000+07:00

Tgl 6-9 Juli sepupu² gw pada nginep di rumah gw di Blok S. My cousins: Indah, Merina (Merin/Mei2), Vira & Narisha (Isha). Pas tgl6-nya Merin ikutan lomba nyanyi si Blok M Plaza dan nyanyi lagunya Ten2Five - I Will Fly!!! Hebat deh, anak kecil nyanyiin lagu itu. Sayangnya yg mengiringi dia nyanyi mainnya dgn beat terlalu cepat, jadi aja dia gak lolos ke final, tapi berarti sudah sampe masuk tahap Semi Final! Dan itu patut dibanggakan!! Gw bilang sih sebenernya salah band pengiringya ^___^;;

Hari Kamis kita ke Gramedia, beli² komik!!! Bukan hanya sepupu² gw yg masih kecil2 itu yg beli komik, tapi gw yg umur ude kepala 2 juga beli² komik!!! :D hahaha... Sepulang dari situ kita baca² komik! Truz mandi sore en nonton Madagascar!

Hari Jumat kita ke Harvest beli roti macem²!! haha..kenyaaannngg :)

Hari Sabtu Vira dijemput Om Di²n, Te Yanti en Ucup(bukan Ucup-nya Bajuri yee..). Yg laen dijemput Om Kamil, Te Atih en Ri²n. Tapi sebelum mereka pulang semua, kita makan Mr.Celup's and Es Podeng bersama doeloe! Truz makan siang bareng di RM H.Babe Lili di daerah Dharmawangsa! Duh Ikan Kambing²nya...TOP abizzzzz... Kalo kata Tora Sudiro, "Enyak enyak enyak...!"

Oia, si Isha pake sakit panas lageeh udah gitu kentut² melulu! Udah dia kentut en kita semua nuduh dia, eh ga ngaku... Katanya, "Aku gak ngerasa.." innocently... Yaa namanya anak kecil suka lucu bin aneh kelakuannya, baru 8 tahun kalo ga salah.Truz pas udah waktunya tidur, dia gak tidur². Akhirnya gw jadi "Emak"nya tuk semalem itu, gw temenin dia ampe dia merem, baru gw sendiri tidur. Tapi sebelum gw tidur gw cek badannya apakah masih panas atau tidak. Pas gw buka selimutnyaa....*buusshh* aroma yg tak sedap keluar dari dalam lapisan selimut... itu adalah.. kentutnya Isha!!!!! HUAHAHA... >,<>2 aja.

The Walls of Life

2005-06-25T13:45:00.000+07:00

the wall of belief is slowly built with patience and calmness,
in a sudden they tear it down...
betrayal...
a mixture of feelings inside...
emotions in a rage...
tears...
the wall of belief crumbles,
no more believing.

the wall of principle,
there since the age of time,
standing sturdily and thick as the Great Wall,
no wind can blow it down,
not even a tornado,
a thunderstorm is only a little shower,
the scorching summer sun and the freezing cold air of winter is nothing,
they try to tear it down,
the wall stands still,
but emotions play,
holding down the anger..
'til tears fall.

alone...
stone-cold heart...
another wall is built...
the cold wall of defence and betrayal.

Happy 20TH to MEEEE!!!!

2005-06-17T07:58:00.000+07:00

Wuidih..udah dua puluh ye gw?! Hmm..Dad said for my 20th b’day I should take some time to reflect on my past, what have I done for the welfare of the society (kesejahteraan masyarakat) for these past 20 years?? Well..not much ^^; I think my mind-set should be oriented that way now. Unlike my dad who’s been dedicating his life in the development of Syariah Banking in Indonesia specifically, and also the world (IFSB). That’s an example of sumthin positive that he can contribute to the society. What can I contribute to the society??

What can YOU contribute to the society??

By the way these are the 1st 5 people to make my day thru sms:
1. Nurul (my bestest best friend since I was 3 years old!! Bulan depan loe nyusul yeee 20-nya…)
2. Kak Baby (FebLub) she’s 1 of my cousins who’s closest to me, thx Sis :)
3. Adiiiiiieeee!!!! Adie jelek en sok-dewasa-isi-smsnya! Huahaha just kidding bro! Thanx a lot 4 the wishes and wise words, usually u’re the 1st one 2 sms me in the middle of the night, but this time my best fren and cousin beat u to it!
4. Kappachan!!! (One of my bestest best fren in campus!) Thanx Nin!
5. Coro…nah ini yang bikin gw kaget (O_o) Gw pikir siape nih.. eh si Coa.. eh salah Coro (maaph Bang)

But before that there’s another bestest best fren of mine from campus who made my day wit a present, 2 DAYS BEFORE my b’day… *drum roll* Erlina!!! She gave me a present on the 15th and as I have promised I just opened it 2day..and nooo I did NOT peek at the present before my b’day ;) Thx for the present, I like it!

A YEAR!!!

2005-06-03T11:03:00.000+07:00

Ternyata...my blog is 1 year old last Sunday, May 29^th, 2005!!! I forgot about that.. I was planning to do sumthin special for its 1st Anniversary..but I totally forgot. Well HAPPY 1^st BIRTHDAY TO http://deepblueseamewteea.blogspot.com !!!!

I'm doing a stupid thing.. It's 11AM in Lab 404 s'posed to study for Scripting Languages exam but I'm writing in my blog. Heck..it's open book..

Oia..it's been 2 years since my grandpa passed away and 1 year since 2 of my uncles passed away.. *silence for a while in remembrance* Well it's time to move on..can't hold on to the past forever.

Gw mo ujian kenaikan tingkat nih buat les biola di IYO! Tanggal 19 Juni, 2 days after my 20^th b'day! Doakan saya yach!! Dan doakan saya biar liburan ada kerjaan! Baru kali ini gw ga ada kerjaan, 2 bulan nganggur...Yeehaa! *joget2 kegirangan* Tahun2 lalu gw ada semester pendek (Compact Semester) atau Internship (PKL) PLUS e.COM! Tahun ini gw cuma Advisor en Judge buat e.COM sooo gw sebenarnya ga ada kerjaan.

Smoga saja gw jadi pergi ke Da'arut Tauhid (DT) to have some religious experience and ketenangan batin. Kalo bisa sih selain ke DT gw bisa Umroh ke Mekah. Truz pengen juga ke Bali en Jepang. Kakak sepupu gw mo ke Jepang ama Peter Pan (dia Marketing Manager buat record labelnya Peter Pan) awal Agustus & dia ngajakin. Tapi kemungkinan gw bayar tiket 'ndiri tapi ikut rombongan dia. Gw cuma pernah ke Jepang 1 kali and it was only in Tokyo's airport for a transit to LA, USA ^__^;;; didn't really go anywhere...

Well I hope I have a non-boring-holiday..but I have to go through the Final Exams first... Fighto~..O! (Ketularan "Gokusen" dari Nindya ^___^;;;;)

Kak Devy's Wedding!!

2005-05-23T07:12:00.000+07:00

Kak Devy's Wedding was held on Sunday, May 22nd, 2005 so my family (Dad, Mom & Ikhsan) went to Bandung on Saturday morning. Cuz on Friday nite Dad had to go to a wedding reception of the child of his office colleague. With the new highway (that was used for the 50 years Remembrance of the Asian-African Conference) it only took us about 2hours to get to Bandung!! And this time the chauffeur was the one driving, cuz my dad was a bit tired, usually my dad's the one who drives. This was the first time we went to Bandung with the chauffeur, Ikhsan sitting in the front seat, and Dad sitting in the back seat of the Suzuki APV...!

Eniwei...that Saturday we checked into the hotel at about 9 AM then we went to Kinanti (Ua Tati's house). At lunch time it was Acara Mangalehan Mangan, aka "the last food given by the bride-to-be's parents to her", it's a Batak tradition. After that there was "Latihan Manortor".. kata Ua Winny aku paling bagus Manortor-nya..hehehe.. Walo badan gede tapi luwes sekali dan cepat tangkap, huehehe *jadi melayang en besar kepala* Yaa.. gw doeloe waktu kecil pernah belajar tari tradisional (Jawa en Bali) siy...

After lunch we went back to the hotel, took a bath & changed our clothes and then as usual went to CiWalk (Cihampelas Walk). We ate at Pisa Cafe, and as usual my eyes was searching for the good-looking-waiter, hehehe :D and he was there..! Lumayan cuci mata :P Oia Mom bought me this stuffed doll which is a cow, loetchoe banget bulet gituh.. I'll put the pics of it down here somewhere...

Sunday morning rain is falling.. eh enggak ding untung banget gak ujan... bisa gawat orang mo nikah malah ujan... Maxud gw on Sunday morning I had to wake up early and go to Mesjid Pusdai so I can get may make-up done. Kak Evie and I were appointed to be "Pendamping Pengantin Wanita" (bridesmaid bukan yaa..). After we got our make-up done my mom and Kak Evie's mom (Ua Erry) said we looked beautiful..! hehehe.. Mom said that after I have make-up on you can't see my pimples..!! Well good thing that all was well.. berjalan lancar maxudnyee..

After the Akad Nikah then there was the Reception. Then the bride and groom had to do the "Tor-Tor" dance (Manortor) the traditional Batak dance for weddings. After that there was "Tor-Tor Muda-Mudi" the Tor-Tor that was done by the younger relatives of the bride and groom. Kak Evie, Bang Rino, Ikhsan and I were some of 'em. Pegal2 bow! But I was happy, I can Tor-Tor. Walo gw lama di luar negeri (USA) tetep aja gw darah Batak en Sunda.. Batak abiss deh...

After the reception we went to the hotel to check out. I cleaned my face from the thick make-up and... TA-DAA new pimples...! B'coz of the make-up I got zits! Mampuss gw... Sudahlah.. ga pa2, tapi gw ga sempet copot sanggul gw (sanggulnya ga pake palsu lohh pake rambut asli gw) jadi gw ampe di Jakarta masih pake sanggul. Jadi gw mandi malem2, untung senen gw ga ada kuliah en selasa libur (Waisak).

Her thoughts...

2005-05-16T06:59:00.000+07:00

she feels comforted by his presence
though confused at the same time
it seems right when she's with him
but she can't make up her mind
a problem she's had since she was born, she thinks...

even if she could make up her mind
she doesn't know if he's the one and
if he'd accept her
does he want to be with her?

even if she's with him
she's still curious about this other person
or you should say other people ^____^;
but most of them are people she can't reach
people too far away in position and place...

-just something I wrote about a friend, you're not allowed to know who.. cuz it's a secret between me and her-

Sakit Perut!!! Tapi teteup ke salon ^^;

2005-05-10T20:35:00.000+07:00

Seperti biasa gw creambath wortel!! Setelah beberapa kalee gw ke INAN Salon, akhirnya creambath yang natural balik lagee...!!! Kemaren2 sempet gak ada yang Natural Creambath (wortel, lidah buaya, ginseng, etc.) dan kali ini ada yang wortel!!! Alhamdulillah...

Plus, I also had a pedicure..a paraffin pedicure!!!! So it starts with normal pedicure, cleaning your foot and shaping your nails and stuff..then the paraffin part. It is some kinda wax that's heated and YOUR FOOT HAS TO BE DIPPED INTO THE HOT WAX 3 TIMES FOR EACH FOOT!!!!

HUAAAAA....!!!! THAT was the FIRST AND LAST TIME I would do Paraffin Pedicure... Not again... I'd rather apply lotion every night to my feet than dip it into hot wax again.. No never again... And for you girls out there, penderitaannya worth it sih...tapi enggak deh jangan...

Btw, gw sakit perut bulanan... tapi demi creambath tuk rambut... hehe.. :)

Gladi Resik & Show Time!!

2005-05-08T21:09:00.000+07:00

WHOA!!! And I thought I was late for the rehearsal in GKJ (Gedung Kesenian Jakarta).. when I arrived at 11 AM I thought they already started to rehearse..ternyata belum.. Biasa orang Indonesia jam karet^^;

The Orchestra only got a chance to rehearse the first 4 songs (played in Session 1) and we didn't have a chance to rehearse the last 2 songs (played in Session 2) on stage. When we were gonna rehearse the last 2 songs the committee of the organization of the concert said that the guests were already entering the building so we're gonna do the REAL THING!!!

OMG so nervous.. so nervous that my hands were sweating and I had lots and lotsa butterflies in me tummy! It's been a long time I haven't been on stage in an orchestra, so I was nervous! And so before the curtain opens we take our places, and the MCs start their act in opening the show...

Then the curtain opens...

claps here and there..

and.. it's...

SHOW TIME!!!!

After the show was over..LEGAAAA..... My frenz came up on stage to cipika-cipiki alias congratulated me in the concert (padahal gw cuma Violin 3 gitu lohh). I mean it was obvious that the star of the day was.... *drum roll*

Rayi! The drummer of the Orchestra and member of the Band FRD!

You got some fans there Rayi. I write this but I'm not even sure the guy reads it cuz I don't think he knows my blog, I mean I only know him as a student in SM IYO (Sekolah Musik - Indonesian Youth Orchestra / IYO Music School) Heck I don't care, it's written here already anyway...

He sang "Ordinary People" by John Legend smoothly with a great voice and he could hit the high notes too, although he was havin a cough (salut gw ama dia). The 2nd song was "Tonight Tonight" by Smashing Pumpkins, and he, the band and some of the violininsts and celloists were rockin' out! The drums stood out in this song, it sounded like a machine gun, but it was cool..!

But uhh...I got a rose.. from Mom.. hehe... Serasa jadi artis..huehehehe... :p

Gladi Kotor

2005-05-07T21:59:00.000+07:00

Time for Gladi Kotor!!! Ternyata nyang Orchestra "muncul" pertama dan terakhir! Enak yaa.. yang Ensemble anak2 kecil..mereka tampil diantaranya jadii...abis latihan Gladi Kotor bagian mereka udah deh..pulang.. Orchestra dari awal ampe akhir harus ada di tempat latihan^^;

Semoga concert besok sukses!

Intensive Practice

2005-05-06T21:55:00.000+07:00

Wuaduhh..semakin dekat ke hari-H semakin berat latihannya...!! fiuuhh.. Cuapekk.. Abis kuliah pulang sebentar, langsung ke tempat latihan deh (SM IYO)!

Hopefully all these tiring practices pay-off on the day of the concert!

Holiday...Practice

2005-05-05T07:51:00.000+07:00

Today is a HOLIDAY!!! Hoooraayyy! May 5^th..I don't even know what we're havin' a holiday for. Ade gw sakit gituh gara² kecapekan EBTA Praktek SMP..jadi diem deh biasanya rame banget rumah ^^^;;

But even tho it's a holiday, I still have violin practice for this Sunday's concert (May 8^th)! Hope that the concert will be successful!

Accident?! O-M-G!

2005-05-04T19:43:00.000+07:00

Ada2 aja ye.. Si Ardo en Tepan kecelakaan! Gak heran sih, memikirkan situasinya dimana Ardo yang menyetir motor. Nyetir mobil aja gw yang jadi penumpang ngerasa nyawa gw terancam..! Gimana motor?! Heck.. I dunno what's in that guy's mind?! I just hope that the both of them can learn sumthin from this accident..like uhh..not to drive too fast (no duhh) Tapi gw gak terlalu khawatir, orang bodoh gak mungkin sakit ^^; Lagian gw jenguk dua2nya di Emergency Room of RSP Pertamina masih bisa ngelawak! Ampuunn... Get well soon guys ;)

Arisan di Rumah baru

2005-04-24T13:26:00.000+07:00

Rame lohhh!!! Truz ketemu si Kembar lagi (the cute Sharla & Diandra)! hehehe... I played wit' 'em for a while, but then at 2:30PM I had to go to IYO, practice for the concert. So I went there by car, and my cousin Bang Dharma dropped me off, thanx Bang ;)

Gilee...cuapek buangett2! After the family 2-month-routine-meeting (arisan) and a 3 hour (almost) non-stop practice...I was tired...fuuhh... I mean 'twas a 3-hour practice with a 10-minute-only-recess. Capek..tapi senang karena gw udah mulai bisa nangkep gimana lagu2nya nanti, hehe :)

New Laptop!!

2005-04-23T13:18:00.000+07:00

I got a new laptop!! Tuker tambah Compaq Presario 1500 with a Compaq V2000 (2122 to be exact)... My old laptop was priced Rp.5.800.000,- lumayan-lah... It has a 14" widescreen and it's much lighter than my previous laptop. That's one of the reasons that I asked for a new one, I'm tired of lugging around that heavy thing^^; Another thing is that it was becoming a bit slow to work with.

Another good thing is that my wishes and my bro's was fulfilled. I needed a new laptop, and my bro wanted a new printer...and we got one of each! The promo was buy this Compaq V2122 and get an HP printer (PSC 1315- All-in-one Printer, Scanner & Photocopier)! Huahahahaha..!!!

I'm happy :) Thanx Dad!

Besok ada arisan keluarga di rumah..

New Layout

2005-04-21T07:04:00.000+07:00

A couple of days ago I uploaded this Linkin-Park-black-based Layout that I made myself.. (The 1st one that I made myself, u know! *bangga* hehehe) This is actually not the final version that was in my head, but this is what I've been working on so far so I just uploaded it. If your computer doesn't have the Pristina font, then it might look ugly ^^;

Silahkan komentar..so I can improve it ;)

This is the final product!!! Huehehe I like this one better than the previous :) How bout u??

HerbaLife... The way of living...

2005-04-20T15:05:00.000+07:00

Cie..elah kayak orang Marketing gw promosi product "HerbaLife"^_^; Tapi emang gw berterimakasih kepada product tersebut.

Why? Cuz I use it!

It only took me 5 days to lose 2kg (= about 4lbs. or so)! Mungkin emang terlalu cepat tuk senang karena baru 2kg (gitu lohh), sementara gw harus turun sekitar 25kg! Doa'kan saya sukses diet yak! My target is to lose that much (25kg) by my 20^th b'day! (June 17^th, 2005 -> remember that date people! I'll be waitin' for presents... hehe... Nanti gw traktir deehh...)

Another Concert for me

2005-04-12T06:59:00.000+07:00

In IYO every 6 months or so we have what u call “Home Concert”. So the next Home Concert will be on May 8th. This time I’m with some of the older students, students who are my age. The theme is...Pop!

The songlist:
1. This Love – Maroon 5 (I like this one)
2. Ada Apa Denganmu – Peter Pan (The song’s ok, but I’m kinda bored of it)
3. Ekspresi – Titi DJ
4. Pilihlah Aku – KD
5. The Reason – Hoobastank (I like it)
6. Toxic – Britney Spears!! (O-M-G!!)

Pas gw lihat partiturnya...huaaaa susah! Walopun gw Biola 3 (3rd Violin) tapi partnya lumayan susah... Dimulai lagi latihan2... Doa’kan saya yach!

50/50...Senang sekaligus sebel..??

2005-04-03T06:44:00.000+07:00

Kenapa senang...??

Karena banyak cogan.. huehehe :D Jangan ditanya siapa saja.. ;)

Kenapa sebel...??

Karena acaranya kemaren malem ngaret...(>,<); Truz organization-nya kacau...

Ternyata CISV stands for Children's International Summer Village. It is an International organization that has a branch in Indonesia. I don't know exactly what they do, but in "the summer" (there's no summer in Indonesia) they trade the "students" from different countries who also join CISV.

I think I might join this organization, cuz in campus I already let go of my position as Vice President of the English Club (BEST = BiNus English Club) and I'm not in any organization at the time. Well I think I'm still a member, but I rarely come to the meetings lately ^^; (Maaf ya Faustina...m(_ _)m )
