Overwhelmed

Filed under:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhh !!!!!!!

Saying it all out doesn't tone down the excitement. I'm flabbergasted! Mounted emotions dwell inside. Eyes closed, flashes of visuals are to be seen as if eyes were wide-open. They connect with delight heart. Screaming. Screaming! of silent shouts. Emotionally tamed.

"You need only to understand that it is not necessary to understand but only to enjoy"

Cookie, you should know that to understand and to feel are two very different things. They, sometimes, contradict and debate.

Neither is now winning.

Journalism

This writing is good. A glimpse eye-opener for readers who unaware of citizen's health rights and obligations.

However, we all know it is all only in writing. The truth lies there and stops there. Don't be naïve.

We all know how the system works and how reality bends it.

Its common knowledge and how we always turn a blind eye.

Yes, I am the skeptical.

i just need time to let go off melb as a big part of me.

Tasmania

Filed under: ,
Went to Hobart and Launceston for 5 days in total.
Hobart is quite similar to San Francisco, the roads i mean. The town so quiet after office hours, I felt scared wander around the city centre, at 6 PM! yeah, im exaggeratin'.

then came Launceston.
2 Days was just, Enough.

In conclusion (see how compact the story is? same goes for the two towns), the most historical as you could get in Australia, which is basically a country established by and for the English convicts. Correct me there if I'm wrong. Was it in Tasmania where the establishment started? or just the only state not having any other tourist attraction but that.

The more I look around, the more elderly I can see.
It's the state for relaxing and laid back trip, suitable for senior citizen.
But the scenery is fantastic! To those nature adventurers, Tassie is the prolly the best you'd get for some green... and not brown or red, in east coast Australia.

But of course, Indonesia covers most of the green and gorgeous scenery... and def can topped all that! :)

The Friend..

I miss you.. or maybe the idea of having you.. im not quite sure on the definition.
it's a very thin line to define.

maybe the wind, or the puppy-dog clouds that made me think of you different.
yeah blaming the weather is the best excuse I have.


Pfft. whatever

Back in my old room..
alone with laptop on my lap, covering self with warm doona, iTunes on nonstop.
mind's contemplating aimlessly.

The House.

Filed under:
there's been raving media coverage on inagauration of the newly elected members of house of representatives.

Newspapers have shown images of these new members taken their 'job' down to the aid of sleeping beauty.

It's not so surprising that majority of them wouldn't be so concern about and for the People.

It's not being skeptical to our 'changing' nation's politics, but it came from a very true fact. An insider fact.

Someone very close has been elected as house of rep. And his wife bluntly speaks 'Alhamdulillah, at least for the next 5 years we could get salary and husband only busy for the first month so I don't need to move so faraway out of Java island.'

That translates: I'm getting the people's taxes for my benefit. My hubby only needs to be far for a mere month, while the rest he can be with us in Java, relaxing and receiving salary.'

Although I don't blame them. He was someone important in the Police force. OK, understandable he needs post-retirement activity and salary to feed wife and young kids. He is somehow still has power in the force, so he's slightly eligble to be in the House. Although his interest is never about or for the People. I understood his reasons.

But not for younglings under 25 yo to be elected as members of the House. Out of college with no play in politics or have had any hands-on experience in the society. He won only by splurging daddy's dosh up to billions. Play visits and rubbing hands to major sweet talks made him a winner. Their interest, up to my understanding, is and never was about or for the People but only to their mounted balance deposits.

The latter members of the House don't surprise me. I find them as unfading history.

Online Shopping

Filed under:
I'm sure gazillion people have bought something online. I am one of those gazillions.

I've went through eBay and few others online webs based overseas. The few times I interacted with sellers online, the communication between us always run smoothly and... polite.

Then I got home.
And I experience a whole different interaction between buyer and seller. In plain word, sellers are in charge. They don't please customers as they shouldve been treated. I guess shopping online here don't differ much with shopping on brick and mortar. Have you noticed shop assistants recently? They plain ignore you and don't take queries seriously.

Same goes to online shops. Although, of course, not all of them are as such. Its generally speaking.

But what I'm saying here, culture and customer service do play direct role in business. Overseas know how to run online etiquette and since no personal contact, our interaction is limited to monitor and keyboard, which is more passive interaction. Unlike here where mobiles are the most preferred contact, which requires both parties to interact actively, ergo each party wants instant replies as if we have no other things to do besides to fulfil each other's needs until all errands completed.

And that, is troublesome.

Interesting Facebook Facts

Filed under: ,
Found this application on facebook.
My friends stats.

Here's some of the results of my facebook friends:
Female/Male:68% / 32%
Single/Taken:19% / 81%
Average age:27 years old

What astounds me is that the (tragically) huge gap on single and taken ratio.
hence no possibility for facebook romance now, eh? LOL
Does the average age of friends also shows how old you really are? FYI, i'm not 27 yo, but close enuf ;)

Interesting apps.


Space

Filed under: ,
When you're mature enough (age-wise), you really really need your own personal space. Like, a bedroom with locked door?

I'm desperately in need of one.

I know a year is more than enough whining, but its really difficult to adjust from living for yourself for 7 years to suddenly have to share everything with 4 other people in cramped room with no locked doors. By everything, I mean, ev.vry.thing. What u do when u wakeup, who you speak on the phone, what u speak on the phone, what you up to for the day, when you have to sleep, when you have to wake up, when you eat, when not to eat.

Its all about adjusting. Yes, it may be just that, but as you get older and once have that massive space to yourself.. You longed for that tiny hole where you can just succumb to your whatever your mind takes you. That, I do not have.

Lucky I have not yet go insane and poppin' pills.

Farah Quinn

Filed under:
Should I do intro first for Indonesian hottest TV chef or the name's a given?

Briefly, Farah Quinn. Chef on Ala Chef show in Trans TV. I have to admit, the lady can cook, but for her to be a 'chef', I'm no judge to that.

But that's not what made her huge in Indonesia. No. Her massive stardom was enhanced by another (err, two others?) enormous personal assets. Her boobs.

To other than female, her cooking talent is just a shadow.

Even the giant corporate in cyberspace agrees to that. Google wouldn't find anything mentioning her recipes or cooking!

Of all results on page 1 covering, yes, Her BOOBS!

I dunno if I should feel sorry for her since the nation don't seem to recognize her cooking talent but more appreciating her assets. Seriously, try googling her name. Or anything follows her name, be it her show 'ala chef' or 'resep'. Google will give you very little on recipes, the show, or cooking tips.

Oh, in case you're wondering why on earth I spent my time browsing farah quinn.. I was dying to find her pangsit goreng recipe! Of which I could not find. No surprise there.

Farah, honey, try not to use push-up bras or tighty-tights exposing on the center areas. Let's give those two for malls, clubs, or your hubby. Don't let them outshine your cooking.

Surprisingly, I like your dishes and would like to try them on my kitchen. Two massive problems, Your boobs prevent me to do so!!

Peachy!

Dunno if title really suits well.
Im just scribbling some random onto blog.

oh yeah, im finding blogging sexy again.
Twitter was just a quickie affair.

I find the latter is boring now. After a thousand and more tweets, I find nothing exhilirating anymore on twitter. Even some tweets im following no longer enthuse me.

Its understandable though, Twitter has been my fascinating boytoy, but blogger will always be my long time lover.
Too much? :D

Anyway!!!

Speaking of long time lover...
iTunes presents me with an old playlist full of tunes off of my gloomy nights at Southbank Royale. There I was, looking out the window and listening to these sounds:

You and Me by Lifehouse
Peachy by Missy Higgins
The hardest part by Coldplay
Give me Novacaine by Green day
Love will come through by Travis
Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol
Love me like the world is ending by Ben Lee
Everybody's Changing by Keane

It was summer, the night breeze came in without knocking from an open window in front of my computer and me. The smell of southbank at night is so distinct I can still remember it. The night was so dark, yet apartment lights made acquintance with Kings Way lights from afar. I stared, and I stared. Worrying if one day to let all these go. I did let go and moving on.

I miss Southbank Royale. Sure it's that obvious!

Yeah, I could get attached to things way overboard, I got burnt out everytime change and moving on happened. Tell me something I don't know.

At least! I'm going back to my second home in mere month!
I'll be back to Melbourne!!
2 months is short time, but this time i'll have a chance for final farewell to the city that saved me.


Melbourne, I'm Coming!

Knowing the news, though don't make much of a fuss in media, an ignorant citizen as I am can't help but wonder...

His Highness' breeds are claiming Daddy's reign for a comeback?

Thinking if it were to come true, makes me shiver. Are we to run the circle of life? What comes down, must comes up again eventually?

Ah, ours the forsaken country. Outcry religion the loudest but powering liberty. 'Tis a try or punishment from the Almighty?

A country where garden of eden lies on earth. Since we're a tip from expulsion for being greedy and eyeing the forbidden fruit.

There are devil's breeds among us.
