B-17-03

Haduh.. tangan gatal nih.. jadi pengen nulis *halah, tangan gatal khan harusnya digaruk-garuk.. Anyway, kali ini gue mo pake bahasa gahol aja ah… Alesan sebenarnya sih karena barusan gw membaca lima.. yak LIMA buku novel remaja, jadi otak gue itu lagi kemasukan gaya2 menulis anak remaja sekarang.. kira-kira kayak orang make lagi ketagihan tapi gue ngga make yah.. Kalo make baju sama celana dan lain-lain ya iya lah masa’ ya iya dong? Hihihi…

Arggh, tuh kan, jadi ngelantur sendiri.. Gue kali ini pengen nulis tentang tempat tinggal gue di tahun terakhir gue kuliah di negara tetangga, tebak sendiri la yah di mana, gak enak tulis di sini, ntar gue dibilang promosi lah, sok-sokan lah, ngga cinta negara sendiri lah, ini lah, itu lah; soalnya negara itu sering dimusuhi sama negara kita dari dulu… yahh, ketahuan deh dimana.. :)

Gue sama teman-teman gue memanggilnya B-17-03 (bacanya: be, tujuh belas, tiga.. yakkkk, anak-anak sudah pintar menghitung yah..hihihi). Alasan kenapa dibilang B-17-03 karena letaknya di tower B, lantai 17, dan rumah yang ke 3 dari kanan.. Kenapa harus dari kanan, ngga dari kiri? Hmm, kalo itu gue ngga tau deh,, nanyanya ke bang Google aja, siapa tau dia tau.. hehe.

Cerita gue sampe nyasar di sini itu karena kemaren-kemaren itu gue lagi kebingungan cari tempat tinggal,, since harga sembako eh salah, harga sewa kamar naik drastic.. ngg, kayaknya sejak krismon melanda, ngga ada deh harga-harga barang yang suka turun, kecuali celana.. hush, jangan pikiran aneh-aneh yah.. Lagi kebingungan mencari tempat tinggal, gue sama teman gue yang satunya lagi, namanya Dedi (nama samaran) memutuskan untuk mengontrak satu apartment aja, baru cari teman-teman yang lain buat disandera, ehh, maksudnya tinggal bareng-bareng.. so, jadilah, kami mendarat di sini. Hehe.

Di rumah ini, sebenarnya bukan rumah sih, lebih mirip ke apartment.. tapi karena gue-nya yang sok konvensional makanya manggilnya rumah dey, ada 3 kamar, 2 wece, 1 dapur dan waktu gue masih disini, dihuni oleh 5 orang, hmm.. waktu gue pindah juga, keknya masih ada 5 orang yang tinggal di sini deh, hehe… Gue sama Dedi tinggal di kamar yang gede, since badan kita gede-gede,, hmm, apa hubungannya badan sama kamar?? Trus kamar yang letaknya di tengah-tengah, mo diliat dari sisi manapun, kiri, kanan, atas, bawah, sudut biru ataupun sudut merah.. loh? ditempati oleh ababng Rioma (singkatan dari Ridho Rhoma.. karena kemiripan dia sama salah satu artis ibukota) dan 2-H (bacanya dua-ha, soalnya namanya HH, daripada bacanya HaHa, mending disingkat jadi 2-H kan.. hehe).. Sisanya itu kamar kecil di depan, punyanya junior kami, sayangnya karena beda angkatan kita ngga pernah jalan bareng….

OK, cukup tentang penjelasan backgroundnya.. gue sekarang mau menceritakan kenapa gue mau menulis tentang tempat tinggal gue… Itu karena gue lagi berada di sini lagi.. hehehe, setelah sekitar satu setengah tahun meninggalkan tempat ini, gue balik lagi di sini.. walaupun di tempat penulisan yang berbeda, tapi gue lagi berada di kamar gue yang dulu, so-called lagi mengenang masa-masa lalu *cie ilehh.. kayak lagi kasmaran aja, norak abiess gue.. hehe. Sebenarnya ini bukan pertama kali gue balik ke sini sih,, hehe, soalnya April kemaren gue sempat ke sini, November tahun lalu juga.. hehehe, cuman.. nah ini dia, gue merasa, ini udah terakhir kalinya gue bakal ke sini lagi.. yah, secara, teman-teman seangkatan gue udah satu-persatu, lahan-perlahan meninggalkan tempat ini.. so, it’s about time, guys.

Tempat ini sangat berarti bagi gue karena, di sini gue belajar buat sharing-sharingan, mulai dari sharing air minum (padahal di kamar gue itu ada 2 dispenser air lohh..), sharing kamar mandi (tapi ngga mandi bareng yah), sharing AC (ya iyalah, kalo ngga, AC-nya mo dibelah dua gitu.. dodol ahh), sharing pena, kertas, meja (maksudnya, kalo lagi kepepet, yah pinjam punya teman dulu, hehe) dan sharing-sharing yang lain (misalnya baju, celana, handuk, celana dalam… hiyyyy,,, yang terakhir ini ngga banget, hehe, cuma becanda). Trus, di tempat ini, kita suka ngumpul-ngumpul, ehhmmm, bukan buat ngerjain tugas sih, tapi buat maen PS, makan-makan dan minum-minum, bikin video buat teman ultah, rayain teman lagi ultah, numpang mandi, numpang nginap, ketawa ketiwi dan teman-teman sejenisnya.. Makanya, tempat ini sering disebut sebagai markas besar dari group gue.. Kalo ga salah, bahkan nama group gue lahir dari sini juga.. bener ngga sih? Correct me if I’m wrong :)

Anda-anda semua pasti tau dong pepatah lama yang mengatakan, yang namanya pertemuan pasti ada perpisahan.. Nah itu, gue merasa, memikirkan, mempertimbangkan, memfirasat bahwa ini adalah saatnya bagi gue untuk mengatakan sayonara bagi tempat tinggal ini.. Indera ketujuh gue mengatakan, gue udah ngga bakal balik nginap di tempat ini lagi di tahun-tahun kedepan..

Farewell B-17-03..
I will always remember your comfort and kindness that let us (anak-anak yang gondel ini) to stay here.
Thank you for your protection that makes us feel safe to stay here during those days..
Thank you for becoming the medium that tie each one of us and makes us feel like brothers and sisters to each other.
We owe you a big favour (although we paid the rental fee every month, hehehe).

B-17-03: Case Closed!

The past

Looking back at my past, there are several things that I would like to change.

Sometimes I wish I can go back in time so I can prevent those silly mistakes and choose different pathway; that way, I can have better, smoother, more enjoyable life. That should be most people’s wish, shouldn’t it?

When I think about it again, I realize most of the real-life-lesson that I learnt were from those silly mistakes that I made. If I didn’t make those mistakes, I might not know what could happen after that hence, I will never learn. And if I don’t get through those experiences, I won’t be as who I am right now.

I know that some people had not-so-good past but those past shape us and make us who we are today. The next thing that we should do is to learn from it so, we can have a better future because what lies in the future depends on our very own hands.

"I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past" Thomas Jefferson

Leo Zodiac

Leo: Astrological profile summary
The fifth sign of the Zodiac – Leo – is a sign of creativity. It moves past the exploring of the world and past the need to care that the first signs show. Leos use their energy and will power to succeed in their creative projects. There are many Leos in the Hollywood spotlights as they have very good artistic talents and love the attention they receive with the fame. More than that, Leos are incurable romantics, and are also very hospitable, which makes them very proud. The assigned House for this Sign is the Fifth: the House of Pleasure.

Leo: An in-depth look at the astrological profile
Leo is astrologically represented by the Lion – also called the King of Beasts. Leos enjoy – and demand – to being treated as the ones at the Top of the Zodiac, which is mirrored also in how popular and inspiring they can be. Similar to the animal itself, people born under this Sign are strong and vigorous, stubborn and outspoken. They have great willpower when it comes to planning and completing their projects, and this shows how well this Sign fits the Fixed Quality assigned to it. Leos can sometimes become selfish and can look down on people, but they compensate with superior organizational skills. On the Zodiac chart, Leo sits opposite to Aquarius, a Sign of Friends, with the way they make everything about themselves and how popular they are, rather than being part of a team and focusing on group goals. Leos make good leaders, have a lot of dignity and are very confident. They are in fact so confident in their organizational skills that they like to interfere in other people’s plans to make them better.

This Sign is ruled by the Sun, which, in ancient mythology was believed to be the creator of the Universe, the source of all existence. Leos also feel from time to time like they are the center of the Universe, and every now and then even prove that they are just that. People born under the Leo sign are friendly and pleasurable, they love to have fun and they live everyday to the fullest. Even though they can be commanding and have high expectations from others, Leos are natural born leaders, with well-developed administrative skills that serve them successfully in their professional projects. They are also confident and sure not only of their aptitudes but also of their decisions and they don’t doubt their imminent success. Every once in a while, Leos will have a tendency to emphasize setbacks, give them ore meaning than they really have and even focus on them more than they should, but usually they don’t fall out of their normal pattern: optimistic, giving, dignified, determined and not willing to give up.

This Sign’s natural element is Fire, which also makes this sign more physical than others: Leos are action people, not wasting their time purposelessly weighing problems over and over again nor trying to understand their most inner meanings. People born under this sign are not afraid to take risks to achieve their goals, and are not willing squander time by measuring the practicality or sensibility of the issue. They are the people to think big, and they will get back from nothing to fulfill their dreams. Like Fire, Leos are not only dramatic and bold, but also continuously on the move, never taking their time, and this is fully reflected in their social personalities. They crave power, and look for it wherever they sense they have a chance of finding it, which is really why they have a good chance to be perceived by others as disagreeable, selfish and even insolent. Regardless of all these, Leos are happy and joyful people, always sure of themselves, and love being the center of attention.

The fifth House, ruled by Leo, is not only related to love, family and children, but also to betting. Numerous people born under this sign enjoy gambling, and they even may show off a bit at the table, loving the attention they receive from the occasions. They take pleasure in life seriously, and will not restrain from spending money to make themselves feel good, going so far in their narcissism they can become arrogant and infantile. Still, as a general rule, Leos stay happy just as long as their usual lifestyle lets them feel relaxed and content.

Leos like spending their free time surrounded by people, rather than alone: they are much too joyful to be the sort of people who enjoy their lonely morning jog, even though they’ll do it if that is related to a goal and it appeals to their pride. But they would much rather prefer playing a team-sport or participating in group-exercises. In what concerns love, people born under this sign are loyal and romantic.

This sign influences the back, spine and heart, which is why we may see people that are born under this sign suffer from back or heart problems more often than other signs.
The specific colors for Leo are gold – the color of the Sun and lions – and purple – the color connected to royalty.

What makes Leo stand out from the other eleven signs is their originality and inspiration and how giving they are with other people. When these traits are put together, the result can be a great person that caries gifts or great solutions to what problems anyone might have. Their artistic and theatrical personalities make Leo one of the most extravagant characters of the Zodiac.

A burn mark

Yesterday, carelessly my arm touched the heating oven.. the result is of course getting a burn mark. The immediate effect was painful but after I applied some toothpaste, it was better.. Well, I expected to have a burn mark but was quite shocked when I looked at it.. quite big, showing now on my right arm..
I was a lil bit sad, coz now my perfect arm is having a burn mark. I remember what my mum usually said to me, "I gave birth to you perfectly so please take care of yours carefully".. and I sort of not be a good boy..

Because of this little accident, I actually learned two lessons:
1. Because it is very obvious on my right arm, everytime I look into it, I always remember my carelessness.. and it reminds me to be more careful next time
2. It is funny because the painful only has an immediate effect but what's left after that will be attached forever. Now, let's say we do something wrong to somebody.. The person will feel pain immediately but I believe, the same person will always remember what we are doing to them - same with the burn mark, it will never disappear.

Well I guess, we all have to be careful always.. in our thoughts, words, and actions

Bitchology

Being a bitch means
I stand up for myself and my belief
I stand up for those I love
I speak my mind, think my own thoughts
or do things my way
I won't compromise what's in my heart
I live my life MY way
I won't allow anyone to step on me
I refuse to tolerate injustice
It means I have the courage &
strength to allow myself to be me
So try to stomp on me, douse my inner flame,
Squash every ounce of beauty I hold within
You won't succeed
And if that makes me a Bitch, so be it
I embrace the title and I'm proud to be a Bitch!

taken from somewhere, love the words, represents me mostly, =D

New semester

After 'having a break' from blogging, now I am back.. he he he,, the most 'lame' excuse is because I have slow internet connection in Indonesia, thus I go online rarely. This time round, I made quite an impressive achievement, only 2 times in 3 weeks.. not anymore addicted to MH =p.

So, now, I am in the beginning of new semester. This is quite different with the previous semesters because 2/3 of my uni friends have done their study and are facing their own path. For sure, there will be less people that online during evening time and, less people to complain about study, assignment and so on; and also, less people to have the same frustation during exam time...

Challenging? Yes. But, that is life, we have to face it no matter what lies in the future.

For those who have done with their study: It is just a beginning to what you are going to face, go and conquer the world...

This new semester, I am quite happy, because few friends are coming here and we can go out together.


P/S: I'm struggling with my new 'Mbp'

Bonds

Sometimes in life, there really are bonds form that can never be broken

Sometimes you really can find that one person who will stand by you no matter what

Maybe you will find it in the spouse and celebrate it with your dream wedding

But, there is also the chance that the one person you can count on for lifetime,

One person who knows you, sometimes better than you know yourself is the same person who has been standing beside you all along.

Me and my friend


I was having a conversation with my friend and this thought came, so I decided to write it down.

I am not a very socialize person. It is not easy for me to make new friendship and it has never been easy either (and that makes my life difficult sometimes).

I am a type of person who will select my own friend based on my view (a Leo zodiac person always have the thought that they are the best, and that's explain a lot).

Someone can be my friend but it will be just you know my name, you know where I come from and vice versa, and that's it.

The reason why I don't easily make friend is because I don't like hi-bye friendship. I look for a never lasting friend.

For me, my friend are those who will give me hand when I ask for, those who will give me piece of advice when I need it, those who will cheer me when I am down, and those whom I share my joy and story. (psst, some of them know my secrets, so if you want to know about me ask from them =p).

That's why I never look down on my friend, I respect all of them and I don't want to lose any of them because they all are precious for me. Oh yeah, even when I have a so-called girlfriend, my friend will still be in my priority.

Yes we are [friends] and I do like to pass the day with you in serious and inconsequential chatter.  I wouldn't mind washing up beside you, dusting beside you, reading the back half of the paper while you read the front.  We are friends and I would miss you, do miss you and think of you very often.  I don't want to lose this happy space where I have found someone who is smart and easy and doesn't bother to check her diary when we arrange to meet.  ~Jeanette Winterson, Written on the Body, 1992

Human act

Recently, I have a dissapointment on some people.
Many people can/do talk a lot of nice thing but only few of them realise what they say and even lesser, do what they say. Pathetic, isn't it? But that's how human act. We always do that (see the word "we" - means, I am inside the group also). Few excuses that I reckon are common: no time, it's not relevant anymore, forget about it, have to do something more important and still many more. The worst thing is, they don't realise it.

I remember there's an old phrase in Indonesian "tong kosong bunyinya nyaring", translated as people who like to speak out loud usually don't know anything. Then, in modern phrase, there's "mulutmu harimamu" translated as your mouth can be a danger for you (tiger as a symbol of danger).

I know this is hard but, I believe we can do, why? Because we are human who have brain and mind. We [should] think before we act/speak. We adapt to the situation. We change over time. So, why afraid? Why pessimistic? If we believe, YES WE CAN!

By writing this, it doesn't mean I against freedom of speech. I fully support freedom of people to talk, speak and deliver their aspiration. It's just, if you know you cannot fulfill it then, don't say it otherwise it will create dissapointment on other people.

Karma

I want to share experience that I had in the past two weeks.

First is about usb. I remember two weeks ago when I visited library, I found a usb still stick into a computer. The evil thought came, if I take this usb means I can get a new one, or if I keep this usb and wait until the owner post some announcement and reward thingy, I can get something when I return to the owner.
But no, I actually without any hesitation take the usb and give it to the reception desk, and tell the lady that I found someone usb. Not so long after I done that, the owner came and ask me about her usb, so I refer her to the reception desk, and then the story end.

Then, last week on Friday, we had one-hour session in IT Room in Library to do some database searching for our project. I stick my usb and forget to take it back with me. I realized it when I want to do my work but it's kinda late because it's in the evening (yes I know, after I went back from school, I was watching videos and not do my work, typical student, sigh). Because it's going to be weekend, I had to wait until the following week to go and check it in library. All the anxiety and worries came to me, because I have few important journals and documents inside my usb, and if I lost it means I have to start from scratch. So, on Tuesday morning I went to the same room to check it again. Voila, my usb is still stick on the computer, ha ha, I'm still lucky. I know the IT Room is not available everytime to the students but...something that strike me is karma.

At this point, I believe that karma does exist.
When you do good thing to other people without asking for reward; you will be blessed and eventually get even great reward later. And it will happen also when you do bad thing to other people
Don't you think so?

Inspirational thought

When I woke up this morning lying in bed, I asked myself, 'What are some of the secrets of success in life?'

I found the answer right there is in my room.

The AC said...Be Cool.

The roof said...Aim High.

The window said...See The World.

The clock said...Every minute is Precious.

The mirror said...Reflect before you Act.

The calendar said...Be Up To Date.

The door said...Push Hard for Your Goals.

My friend

I dedicated this writing to a friend of mine, Ms. Elizabeth.

Friend is a gift, treasure it while you can.
It can last forever but, it does not mean they will be available forever.
There are times that you need to work on your own, without help from anyone.
Those obstacles are there to train you to be mature, independent, and be a better person.
It was difficult to accept yet, you make me realize it.
I am really grateful to have friend that not just try to understand me but also, try to make me understand the reality of life.

Thank you for the conversation, thank you for the thought, and thank you because you are my friend.
Will always remember that, and you of course, =)

Also, to my other friends:

A friend is one of life’s most beautiful gifts

by Luanne Auciello

A friend is a person you can trust,
who won't turn away from you;
a friend will be there
when you need someone,
and will come to you
when you need help....

A friend will listen to you
even when they don't understand
you or agree with you feelings;
A friend will never try
to change you,
but appreciate you for who you are.

A friend doesn't expect too much
or give to little;
A friend is someone you can share
dreams, hopes, and feelings with.

A friend is a person you can think of
and suddenly smile;
A friend doesn't have to be told<
that they are special
because they know you feel that way.

A friend will accept you attitudes,
ideas and emotions,
even when their own are different,
and will hold your hand
when you are scared.

A friend will be honest with you
even when it might hurt,
and will forgive you
for the mistakes you make.

A friend can never disappoint you,
and will support you
and share in your glory.
A friend shares responsibility
when you have doubts.

A friend always remembers
the little things you have done,
the times you have shared, and the talks you had.
A friend will always bend over backwards
to help you pick up the pieces
when your world falls apart

A friend is one of life's
most beautiful gifts.

Does Love Need a Reason?

Lady: Why do you like me..? Why do you love me?
Man: I can't tell the reason.. but I really like you..

Lady: You can't even tell me the reason...How can you say you like me? How can you say you love me?
Man: I really don't know the reason, but I can prove that I love you.

Lady: Proof? No! I want you to tell me the reason. My friend's boyfriend can tell her why he loves her but not you!
Man: Ok ok!!! Erm... because you're beautiful,
because your voice is sweet,
because you are caring,
because you are loving,
because you are thoughtful,
because of your smile,
because of your every movements..


Unfortunately, a few days later, the Lady met an accident and went in comma

The Guy then placed a letter by her side, and here is the content:


Dearest,

Because of your sweet voice that I love you...
Now can you talk? No! Therefore I cannot love you.

Because of your care and concern that I like you..
Now that you cannot show them, therefore I cannot love you.

Because of your smile, because of your every movements that I love you..
Now can you smile? Now can you move? No, therefore I cannot love you...

If love needs a reason, like now, there is no reason for me to love you anymore.

But does love need a reason?
I still love you... Because love doesn't need one.

"True love never dies for it is lust that fades away. Love bonds for a lifetime but lust just pushes away"

Live Like We're Dying

Sometimes we fall down, can't get back up
We're hiding behind skin that's too tough
How come we don't say I love you enough?
'Til it's to late, it's not too late

Our hearts are hungry for a food that won't come
And we could make a feast from these crumbs
And we're all staring down the barrel of a gun
So if your life flashed before you, what would you wish you would've done?

Yeah, we gotta start lookin' at the hands of the time we've been given
If this is all we got, then we gotta start thinkin'
If every second counts on a clock that's tickin'
Gotta live like we're dying

We only got 86 400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or to throw it all away
We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em while we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying

And if your plane fell out of the skies
Who would you call with your last goodbye?
Should be so careful who we left out of our lives
And when we long for absolution, there will be no one on the line

You never know a good thing 'til it's gone
You never see a crash 'til it's head on
Why do we think we're right when we're dead wrong?
You never know a good thing 'til it's gone

Sometimes we fall down, can't get back up
We're hiding behind skin that's too tough
How come we don't say I love you enough?

MHFA training

This is my newest certificate, first in 2010.
Really excited when I received that, don't know why.. but yeah..
With this certificate, I'm qualified to be an RA for next semester/year, but thinking not to apply it anymore, =(
This 12-hours training helps me in understanding several mental health problems and how to deal with those problems.
Not to mention that I have realized that I was in the state of severe depression in the past sadly, I don't know how to deal with it.
Other than that, this training really helpful for people, especially for youngsters and students so they can understand different type of mental health problems and know how to deal with it for first aid assistance.
Really encourage you to attend if you had the chance!

Many thanks to Stephen and Luke for their time, :)

Heal the World

Spoken by child:
'Think about the generations, and say we wanna make it a better
Place for our children and our children's children, so that they...
They, they... They know it's a better world for them.
And think if they can make it a better place...'

There's a place in your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place could be much
Brighter than tomorrow
And if you really try
You'll find there's no need to cry
In this place you'll feel
There's no hurt or sorrow

There are ways to get there
If you care enough for the living
Make a little space
Make a better place

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place
For you and for me

If you want to know why
There's a love that cannot lie
Love is strong
It only cares of joyful giving
If we try we shall see
In this bliss we cannot feel, fear or dread
We stop existing and start living

Then it feels that always
Love's enough for us growing
Make a better world
Make a better world

And the dream we were conceived in
Will reveal a joyful face
And the world we once believed in
Will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep strangling life
Wound this earth, crucify its soul
Though it's plain to see
This world is heavenly
Be God's glow

We could fly so high
Let our spirits never die
In my heart
I feel you are all my brothers
Create a world with no fear
Together we'll cry happy tears
See the nations
Turn their swords into plowshares

We could really get there
If you cared enough for the living
Make a little space
To make a better place

Heal the world
Make it a better place
(Oh, my friends)
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place
For you and for me

You and for me
You and for me

Heal the world we live in
Save it for our children


by Michael Jackson (1958-2009)

Human and Donkey Equation

Equation 1
Human = eat + sleep + work + enjoy
Donkey = eat + sleep
Therefore: Human = Donkey + Work + enjoy
Therefore: Human-enjoy = Donkey + Work
In other words, A Human that doesn't know how to enjoy = Donkey that works.

Equation 2
Man = eat + sleep + earn money
Donkey = eat + sleep
Therefore: Man = Donkey + earn money
Therefore: Man-earn money = Donkey
In other words, Man who doesn't earn money = Donkey

Equation 3
Woman= eat + sleep + spend
Donkey = eat + sleep
Therefore: Woman = Donkey + spend
Woman - spend = Donkey
In other words, Woman who doesn't spend = Donkey

To Conclude: From Equation 2 and Equation 3
Man who doesn't earn money = Woman who doesn't spend
So Man earns money not to let woman become a donkey!
And a woman spends not to let the man become a donkey!

So, We have: Man + Woman = Donkey + earn money + Donkey + Spend money

Therefore from postulates 1 and 2, we can conclude :
Man + Woman = 2 Donkeys that live happily together

Now or never

Waktu itu nggak pernah berhenti. Kita terus maju dan maju, sebelum benar-benar menyadari, ternyata telah maju terlalu jauh.

Jika kamu pernah bertengkar, segera berbaikanlah!

Jika kamu merasa ingin mendengar suara teman kamu, jangan ragu-ragu untuk meneleponnya segera.

Jika kamu merasa kamu ingin bilang sama seseorang bahwa kamu sayang dia, jangan tunggu sampai terlambat.

Jika kamu terus pikir bahwa kamu lain hari baru akan memberitahu dia, hari ini tidak pernah akan datang.

Jika kamu selalu pikir bahwa besok akan datang, maka "besok" akan pergi begitu cepatnya hingga kamu baru sadar bahwa waktu telah meninggalkanmu.

Men facts

Ok.,, i have to admit this one is taken from somewhere else, by someone else.
Somehow I found it interesting, some comments are lil' bit offended i think as a man, some are criticizing men but some are also true!
But hey, we are human, and we have weaknesses (my friend said, cacat excuse - in BM, lol), so I hope you enjoy it..


For all those men who say, Why buy a cow when you can get milk for free. Here's an update for you: Nowadays, 80% of women are against marriage, WHY? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage.

Men are like Laxatives . They irritate the crap out of you.

Men are like. Bananas . The older they get, the less firm they are.

Men are like Weather . Nothing can be done to change them.

Men are like Blenders You need One, but you're not quite sure why

Men are like Chocolate Bars .. Sweet, smooth, & they usually head right for your hips.

Men are like Commercials . You can't believe a word they say.

Men are like Department Stores ... Their clothes are always 1/2 off!

Men are like .. Government Bonds .... They take soooooooo long to mature.

Men are like . Mascara . They usually run at the first sign of emotion.

Men are like Popcorn . They satisfy you, but only for a little while.

Men are like Snowstorms . You never know when they're coming, how many inches you'll get or how long it will last.

Men are like Lava Lamps . Fun to look at, but not very bright.

Men are like Parking Spots All the good ones are taken, the rest are handicapped.

Life is a Trade-Off

Lagi malas ngomong dalam English.
Kemaren ceritanya penulis merencanakan ke Melbourne CBD. Udah bersemangat merencanakan untuk bangun pagi2 demi mengejar bus pertama..eeh tau2nya salah liat jadwal.. Karena hari Sabtu, jadi busnya available mulai jam 7.50.. Jadi naik yang satu ini nih..
Sampai di train station, eh tau2, trainnya nanti ada jam 9.30.. yang sebelumnya udah leave 8.18 jadi ga sempet deh. So, nunggu sejam..
Tiba-tiba gledek, dan hujan turun.. yang akhirnya membuat sistem transportasi down... oh my.. jadi dijadwalkan train bakal terlambat 15 menitan....
Mendekati 9.30, ada se grup dari Gippy yang datang ke train station, tau2nya mereka mo ke CBD, trus setelah nanya2.. mereka merasa bersyukur karena belum terlambat naik keretanya...
Hujan nambah gede nih ceritanya..alhasil, trainnya ga bisa jalan total alias lumpuh, jadi alternatifnya kita di sediain bus khusus..tapi nyari bus drivernya lama banget.. sampe akhirnya kita baru naik di bus udah mo mendekati jam 11.

Sebelum naik bus.. penulis di kenalin ma satu orang Indo yang baru datang.... eh ternyata. he is a friend of friend..hahaha...kata orang, what a small world..
Jadi di dalam bus, kita ngobrol2 lor.. kenalan2.. sampe tukar no telpon...

Sampe di CBD udah mo jam 1...ohmaygad..i'm starving...
Ke apartment teman, trus online bentar, ngecek MH (hehehe...), trus pergi makan di Thai resto..
Makanan yg dipesen banyak..sampai pake take away yg sisa.. n enak2....Harganya juga lumayan koq.. $80.00 ber 3, 4 dishes + rice + drinks. gitu,. abis itu, setelah makan kita ke Melbourne Museum..jalan2 sampai Museumnya tutup trus kita balik ke apartment...
Mandi di apartment temen..setelah itu ke supermarket sebentar..trus balik deh ke train station..
Nunggu train yang 7.30.. datangnya nanti jam 8... o.O..jadi tibanya di train station tujuan udah mo dekat2 jam 10 malam....... karena udah gak ada bus lagi. terpaksa deh naek taxi sndirian pulang.. cuma 10-15an menit sampe di tempat tinggal...hehehe

Some thoughts:
Kalo misalnya, penulis berpikiran gila n manggil taxi pagi2 buat ke train station.. maybe bisa sampe di CBD lebih cepat dari yg sebenarnya... Bisa jalan2 lebih banyak..bisa lakuin lebih banyak.. ga bakal kelaparan.. bisa juga pulang lebih awal....
Tapi, nambah expenses, karena fare naek taxi itu = fare naek kereta dari sini ke CBD.. jadi kalo dihitung = 3x naek train bolak balik Morwell - CBD. Trus, ga bakal kenal ma anak baru ini... ga punya temen baru deh...
