UniLife

Summer really has ended yesterday. Uni's starting. The CBD is packed with uni-students of Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. or at least, some of them. Suddenly, I realise that I'm no longer part of that crowd. Instead, I'm wandering around the city without a cause or a reason.

I miss Uni.
Yeah. believe it or not. I miss going to lectures and do assignments.
Although they always made me want to kill myself.
But now, without them.. there's something missing.

I miss going to Uni and be part of the crowd.
At a time like this, I miss studying.
I felt my brain's really numb lately.

My friends will continue their lectures, their assignments starting from yesterday.
I'll have my vacation. but would that be enough?
Then what'll happen?

Shit. kangen gini kuliah.
demit. aneh, superaneh.

the final curtain

the OC bid farewell to their audience last night.
Feb 22 on the US. and Feb 23 on this land downunder.
It's been four seasons of many ups and downs for the OC. the dramas, the cliches, the love and hate. the Marissa and ryan. the seth and summer.

the characters that captured the nation on their first season premiere.
they, who became enormously dull on the second.
and whats there left to say for the third.. except when marissa had to have that tragic ending.
then came a huge questionmark on whether the show can continue its fame after mischa left the OC.

Enter,
fourth season - the finale.
No more Ryan and Marissa's much-too-annoying drama.
came the quirky and talks-alot lady - Miss. taylor.
hence become, Ryan and Taylor's love affair.

FYI, it's heaps better than the ryan and Marissa's tale, hello!

but im not here about that.
It's about their final curtain. the farewell of the OC.
that happened, just last night.

The series finale.. really made the most of it.
fast forward to years ahead.
Whats expected from all our lovely casts.

It's about,
the cohens' new life at their most happiest place.

It's about,
the destiny for seth and summer.

It's about,
the successful story of a boy from chino.

It's about,
Julie standing up for herself and the coopers (finally) have the functional family just as the cohens.

It's basically a sweet ending for the OC.

Four season has its charm and relaxing ambiance.
Marissa being dead, it's very good for the show. at least, nomore overbearing and annoying drama from her.

I'll sure miss that dork-but-damn-cool adam.

The OC. bid thee farewell.

It's been loongg and winding.
but in the end, youre alright.

close your eyes

if you close your eyes
you will see yourself.
Thats Jet and their Eleanor.

Pernah gak sih menutup mata dan smua imaji di pikiran tumpah ruah gak karuan? Pikiran2 yang ini, yang itu. from superficial to the deep. Anything.

kenyataannya.. words will come out of nowhere in mind when I was about to sleep. but my lazy ass wont budge from the bed to uncomfortably sit on that lousy grey chair, and start typing things. ergo, all the good words are gone during my deep sleep. ya know, I can even make use lotsa big words, that I cudnt even remember during daylight like now. Aneh, memang.

ah, my mind's suddenly blank.
and thats all I have to say.

barney rubble



Corinne Bailey Rae had trouble sleeping.
Don't say that...
Could'nt I blame something else.
It's late and I'm feeling so tired
Having trouble sleeping.
Don't say...


While, on this land downunder
Sleeping is another cure.
an instant remedy...
I got my eyes shut
leads to some tranquility of mind.

but at some point, trouble sleeping gets the lowdown on whats been denied.

Ya.... begitulah!

Yesterday's news

I stare blankly at my own reflection.
I peek outside my bedroom window. It's too dark out.
Humid. The rain has finally reach this dry land downunder.
The heatwave was too much for human being to bear.
This midnite rain bring us a slight breeze.

It's the perfect topic for a small talk, innit?
I remember watching "sense and sensibility" ~ Limit your talk to the weather, Elizabeth.
It is the polite conversation, without intrusion to others' privacy.

*sigh*
I was stoopid.
I knew his stares.
I knew hes next to me.
I knew hes watching over me.

Age don't really matter. I act childish.
The younger blood knows how to politely present himself to the crowd.
I wish I didn't act in such foolish manner.
Sigh-ing wont do any good either, will it?

Short-term memory loss seems in endavour at most times.
Why for such particular incident, it's not in favor?
Wish I can easily forget.
Embarrased, Ashamed, not of those easily forgotten now is it?

It's not a momentary lapse. It's my own world. I brought it out to the open air. I was hypnotized. Or seems like so while I wasn't.
None for you to understand.

Pff.. if only hypersensitivity aint in my blood. Things would be much more... relaxed.
If only.
Ya Ya. If Only!

My iTunes has been playing songs nonstop from the "lovers' corner" playlist.
Nah. Aint nothing gotta do wif love songs. (well, not entirely!)
I'm liking John Legend's Save Room, Jet's Rip it up and Bring it on back, The Fray's how to save a life, Hanson's Hey!, and the most cheesy of all ~ Hugh Grant and Halley Bennett's Way back into love.

The latter, vocals crap but the song's really catchy.

Thats the intro to my life as of Feb 18, 2007.
catch ya later!

Stop This Train. I Want To Get Off and Go HOME Again....

Yes, I'm going home.
March 4th to be exact.
Cant wait.
I have to leave this country. Fast!
I need to escape. Escape from the feelings that will lead me to insanity.
Pff. none for you to understand.

you know what,
I'm sorta addicted to this man. Biarpun I met his clone, I prefer to think that I'm obssessed with this man and not the other.
Seems not healthy when you think about it. But trust me, it's alot healthier thought than the real one.
Ha Ha! totally in denial!

Sbodo. I feel more....relaxed that way.




OH! an early Happy Birthday to a friend on Feb 16. Have a good one. =)
Again, none for you to understand.

tuesday gloom

weather forecast say its about 30ish degree today. Oddly enough, the sky aint so bright as any other summer day.
Woke up early this morning. Did the usual routine on tuesday morning.
Called the manager and asked for roster next week.
All good. Like usual.

Hours later.
Can't help the feeling I had last night. I'm choked.
Can hardly breath. My mind's puzzled with things uncertain.

Maybe cos of yesterday's incident?
Mau muntah rasanya.

at a time like this, I'm glad I will leave this country in 2 weeks.
I will have a long relaxing vacation.
Away from the mind games.

hff.. funny how coincidence happened.
As I'm in my usual mood swing, suddenly, iTunes is giving me Mark. Yes, Mark Sholtez that is.
"baby I aint no superman
But I'm gonna do the best I can"


I smiled. But it didnt last.

I'm a glum one.
Without a reason why.
I sit in my bedroom, looking out the window.
started to think something inspiring to write.
... and I had none.

It's the mood swing talking.

Ichi Rittoru no Namida

Ichi Rittoru no Namida or, perhaps, more famous with its english words - 1 Litre of Tears. A drama inspired from a 15 year old Japanese girl (Aya) diagnosed with a deadly illness - spinocerebellar ataxia.

One thing I'm amazed, the girl lived for 10 years after her first diagnose. Unbelievable! She passed through her teenange life to adulthood carrying the illness as her everything.

It started out as a collection of diaries then published into a book before finally made into a TV-drama. Of course, bringing up her gruelling life story wont complete to touch some of the cold-hearted beings out there. It needed a tad of romance to spice things up.

Enter, Asou Haruto.
and the love affair begun.

FYI, hes not, in fact, existed in that 25 years of her life.
A fictional character to complete the missing edge of the story.
But indeed gave us more reasons to being sentimental.

It's a recommended drama, everyone said.
Tearjerker, most definitely.
Heart-moving, inspiring!

It really was.

Aya Kito.
You may have been parted from this life for 19 years but your stories still hold dear to everyone.

Also, applaud to the screenwriters.

-- thanks for adding Asou Haruto in the script! ^_^

up on cloud number nine.

I'm on ecstasy .. Flying high from the so-called reality.
I'm intoxicated.

9 hours.
It's over midnite now. but I'm still so chirpie and fully awake.
Aneh.
After the first 3.5 hours.. I keep thinking about the energizer bunny.
Not sure if other countries have the same commercial for that energizer batteries.
But it's a bunny loaded with energizer batteries that wont stop running. It goes Whooozaa!
.. and aint stopping.

Instead of injecting me with the energizer batteries. I feed my mind with only one thought. Yes. That is the only Whoooza! for me today. My own version of energizer bunny - wrapped in a blue-black uniform. *tee hee*

My energy aint worn off yet. My eyes are still wide awake.
I'm on ecstasy.
I'm so high.
It's so bizarre.

Maybe Naoko Takeuchi had a similar thought when created her "Usagi Tsukino" alter-ego.
Remember Usagi Tsukino?
Yah, maybe her trademark phrase really seal the deal.



"Dengan kekuatan Cinta
akan mendukungmu!"





OK. It's official.
Sakit Jiwa!

Ah sudahlah.
Like Bryan Adams said "I'm up on cloud number nine!"
It's beyond logical thinking.

Hey, It Is cloud number NINE!?
*grinning sperti orang bodoh.


***pesan moral: diatas hanya sepatah, dua patah, beberapa patah - kata yang sangat beyond realitas dari seorang yang kewarasannya saat ini sangat diragukan. Pikiran2 bodoh diantara gelapnya malam, sunyi rintik2 hujan di kemarau panjang ostrali, chopin dengan klasiknya Mazurka In B Flat dan suara mematikan Chris Martin dengan Fix You keparat itu. Indah.
Jangan pake logika deh.

a very unproductive friday

so here I am. being a couch potato.
Woke up late on a midday friday! This what happens when work aint on agenda. but tomoro will be working at two places *eeks*. Pray tomoro will do just fine. Esp when the whole 4 hours I'd be on ecstasy, overjoyed. ah sudahlaaah! hehehe

*buat 2 perempuan yg baca blog ini, jangan protes2 dgn kalimat terakhir itu! =D

Anyway, for those in the know, me lovin' zach braff is old news. but he aint dyin' for me! Been reading his blog again after months reluctant to enter the land of that other quirky hitam kriwil. Almost forgotten how funny the man is! A friend told me that the character JD can be related to all of us who are struggling in life, wondering whether we're on the ryte path, and feeling as if our surroundings are full of bunch of strangers. Zach was once asked if hes ever "get down". He answer was - garden state. Maybe without realizing it, thats how I like the dude. He looks real, he seems real, and I can relate to him. Hang on, not that im saying im obssessed with the dude! No No. Maybe its cos the tinseltown's superficiality dont bruise his idealism? Heck. ngomong apa sih gue? *bingung* :p

Its gonna be sad if scrubs got canned. Cos his big-screen movies can be quite a bit artsy-fartsy for my taste. That aint bad either, but they pretty much made you to think. *ketawan sukanya chick flick!* LOL

One thing unique about Zach, he really does write his own blog by himself! shocking!

Speaking of blogs, I read an article on marketing magz yesterday. They said that businesses now can get profit from blogging! They now can measure their ROI (return on investment) from their blogs. How exciting! Not.

This past couple of years, Youtube, blogs, myspace etcetera have been the media for common civilians like us to speak out our thoughts, aint it? Although it might not be so for the next few years. Blogging is out. Another coming. I wonder, if too much is never enough? *does that make any sense?*

oh. did I tell you about jakarta? it's flooded. the worst in 5 years. Some to blame government, some blame on the canals (or lackthereof!), some blame on themselves ( ada ya? :P). If it's a multiple choice question in a school test, the latter shud be the correct answer. Just as I read on the "an inconvenient truth" website, I Quote "Humanity is sitting on a ticking time bomb."

When the universe is currently disturbed by Global Warning and Climate Change. It truly is an inconvenient to acknowledge such truth. Human and their ego. Proudly claim ownership of the earth we're living now. Truth speaks differently, my friend. We're actually renting this place which was once called a haven. One of the rules of war.. attack when the enemy's vulnerable and distracted. We are distracted. Distracted by our greed and human ego. Hence the catastrophies.
As I watched South Park this morning, Matt Stone and Trey Parker has thought of this while making "Two Days Before The Day After Tomorrow". Of course, in their own comedy antics.

Like I once said, to influence the whole lot of people, One not need to become politicians. Be a Comedian, Kids!

Pff. today really is an unproductive friday.
I'm bored. Hence the pointless post.
Only half-hour before the Simpsons is on. Finally, something I can watch! LOL

ciao.

Smoking KILLS!

Been thinking to post about cigarette packets for a while now. Well, since i've been bombarded by "smoking kills" commercials on TV. First, they irritate you quite a lot cos of the images shown. Who wudnt? Not to mention, for few months now I have to sell ciggies at the supermarket. I HATE THEM! serzly!

I hate the smokes. I hate the smell. Now I hate the packets!

well, all in all. I hate ciggies.

Luckily here ppl arent allowed to smoke wherever they please. Hence, less smokes for me to inhale. I hear smokes wont be allowed in bars/pubs/clubs anymore. Haha! Ppl wont be pleased wud they? =D

Anyway, it's about the packets now.
Apparently, the new tobacco graphic images has made a substantial changes to people's behavior towards smoking. Goodo!

Here's what the media has to say >

Big pictures 'likely to curb smoking'

February 06, 2007 10:37pm

Article from: AAP

LARGE and comprehensive warnings on cigarette packets including graphic images were the most likely way to entice smokers to quit the habit, an international study has found.

The study appears to confirm that graphic health warnings on cigarette packets introduced to Australia in March last year were the most effective way to encourage smokers to quit.

Researchers, including Professor Ron Borland of The Cancer Council Victoria, contributed to the multi-national study, published in the latest issue of the American Journal of Preventative Medicine.

The authors analysed data from four waves of surveys of adult smokers in Australia, Canada, the United States and Britain between 2002 and 2005.

Almost 15,000 smokers were surveyed on their awareness of cigarette packet health warnings, any changes to their understanding of the dangers of smoking, their motivation to quit and any behavioural changes they had noticed.

The data was collected before Australia's new cigarette packet health warnings were introduced last year.

One thing for sure, I've noticed myself that the images has quite a bit of impact on those smokers. When I was working and have to sell a ciggie to one customer.. Like usual, I just picked up the packet in front shelf ryte? Din really notice what the pict on the packet. After I gave the customer his change, he suddenly asked me to change the packet with the other one in the shelf. Quite bizarre request, first I thought. But then he said that he wants the other packet cos of the image aint so "tragic". None else to comment, I smiled. But my head starts having this sarcastic thought thinking Pff. Why smoke then? like changing packets can avoid the reality later on, eh?

But thats how I know that these new packets design has impact on smokers.
I wonder when Indonesia will apply the same design to their ciggie packets? Considering tobacco industry is one of the biggest business empires in the country. Prolly it might kill the entertainment business quite a bit too wont it? :P

A Lovely Retardation

Love is the only incident
An infatuation
Is this sweet manipulation?
Well, I was frightened myself
What is love?
It's a fine inclination
A lovely retardation
What is life but a reality vacation?
Indulging operation
What is love?
The worthiest damnation
Sweet temptation
What is love?





- I wake only to hear this scream.

The Tale of Peter and Potter.

Peter Rabbit.
The most famous rabbit amongst kids in every part of the globe.
Its collection of stories and goodies are most sought of for years.

Yes. Beatrix Potter was the first to ignite Peter to come to life.

Now, the "spirit" of Miss Potter is exposed once again to the world by giving her a big-screen performance. It's about Miss Potter's life, romance, and artworks.

Her stories....
are timeless.


Miss Potter is original, sweet, and real.

It's an enchanting tale of all.


Whilst, Her Peter Rabbit..
Classic!
