#WORLDCUP

World cup 2010, south Africa..
every one is so excited about this.., either in twitter or facebook, every body discuss about this stuff. also bet!! many of my friends put their money on bet... some for fun, others really for making money.
By the way, this world cup is different to me, I am not following it from my home country, but from sydney, what's the different? well, if I'm at home, I just need to turn on my TV and watch all the game, cause they play it on TV. but noit here!!! I don't have oxtel, so I can't watch every game. if I wanna watch a game, I have to go to Darling harbor, for Fifa fan fest. anyway, that's also fun :D


Yesterday night, I mean morning!! I went there witrh my german friends. it was around 3.30 in the morning... freezing!! it's winter now in sydney by the way!! so we headed of to darling harbor to whatch GERMANY vs AUSTRALIA

well, actually it's a dilema for me.
hahaha, obviously I knew, well assume that germany will win, so I defenitely will stand on germany side. But, I live in Australia, and it's like my second home now.. hahaha.. I still feel that i should support this country. so, what I did was so stupid.. I was in between..!! :D I had german flag on my cheek and wore Australian flag on my head :p

Me and Susi, my german friend with our german flag paint

And that's my Aussie Flag, before we got the cheek german paint

"berasa nonton layar tancap" *look up on google translate what it's mean :p

it was really fun.., I might do it again, watching I mean!! not being in between two team :p
but may be after my presentation.

Winter's free tale

Hey ya.. :)
actually this is not a tale..I just don't know a good title :p lol


hey..winter is coming, today was raining..and it's pouring... I need to hold my umbrella really tight.
well.. I love it when it's rain.. it's so beautiful and romantic (????? haha..I know...what you think...actually I'm not that kinda romantic mellow person, or.... may be I am :p
hmm...I just wanna write anything today, nothing that's so special, ow, it is actually.
several things actually :)

1. I purchased my Jack Johnson concert ticket...haha.. I keep mumbling about this everywhere; facebook, twitter, my blog... well...I can't help myself..he's my favorite singer man...;)

the concert will still be a quite long to go, it'll be in December though... but can't wait...excited already :D

and another thing that I am really proud that I did today is..

2. I eat fish!!! and it's raw fish... haha...shashimi... well, for those who don't know, I don't eat fish but tuna( and it's only it's white part, no skin)... I hate fish!!! I tried..but I couldn't stand the smell...ew..., but today!!! yay!!! finally....but it doesn't mean that I'm gonna like or eat fish...nope!! not yet!!

Ew...it's felt so...hmm...difficult to explain...the texture is so soft..still can't find the reason why people really like it ??? :/

ok, my reason is... I wanna go to Japan in July, so I think I should try to eat that special japanese food..I like sushi..but sashimi....aa.aak..nope... anyway..I tried it today..it's not that bad actually.. :) I had it with ginger pickled and wasabi...ughh... I put too much wasabi and I was about to cry...It's killing my noose....aw..

hmm...what else? I went to Japan embassy to get my visa, stop at Taiwan embassy as well, because for my Japan trip I need to transit in Taiwan..and I might have a chance to go out on the way back...I have 5 hours of transit..Yay!!! ;)

I guess that's it for today, I'm gonna continue with a reading...don't worry..not a uni or academic reading...I'm not that "student" even though I am a student :p
my novels have been abandon for quite a long time...and I miss reading :)
see you next time
love

Little Havelly weird evening

Sampai sekarang, kejadian itu masih terus suka berputar- putar di kepalaku.

Waktu itu, selasa malam, aku sedang makan malam di sebuah restoran india di broadway bersama roommate-ku.

"little havelly" itu namka restorannya. Aku duduk di dekat dinding, menghadap ke jendela. Setelah memesan beberapa makanan yang jujur kami tida tahu itu jenis makanan seperti apa, maklum..semuanya bahasa india..haha, kami menunggu sambil berbicara hal- hal tidak penting.

Jujur.. Sebenarnya kami sangat asik membahas mengenai film bollywood yang sedang ditayangkan di TV restoran ini. Kami tak henti hentinya tertawa melihat gerakan gerakan dan tarian dalam film itu. Bernostalgia membahas betapa dulu sempat mengikuti film bollywood ini..hahay…yaa..jaman2 jaman "kuch kuch ho ta hai ".

Lalu makanan pun sampai..dan yeah…nice…ternyata restoran india ini memang asik, tepat seperti yang direcomendasikan oleh temanku. Kami mulai melahap makanan kami, dan wow…harus kuakui..sepertinya aku sangat lapar sehingga Cuma butuh 10 menit buatku untuk mengosongkan piring besi khas india itu :p

Well, kejadian yang terus perputar- putar di kepalaku bukanlah mengenai makanan india ini. Melainkan kejadian aneh setelah aku selesai makan. Oke.. Jadi seperti kataku tadi, aku duduk menghadap ke jendela dan pintu masuk dari kaca itu, jadi aku bisa melihat setiap orang yang berlalu- lalang di depan restoran. Aku sedang berbicara dengan desy(rommate-ku) mengenai hal yang jujur aku lupa…, tiba- tiba aku melihat seorang lelaki di luar sana yang berjalan dengan dua orang temannya tersenyum dan melambai padaku. Aku tidak pernah bermasalah dengan orang yanhg tersenyum dan melambai kepadaku, karena biasanya aku pasti akan reflek membalas, dan itu bukanlah hal besar. Tapi kali ini beda, benar - benar aneh.., lelaki ini tersenyum dari ujung pintu restoran, sampai dia menghilang di sudut jendela, dan dia tersenyum dan melambai seolah- olah dia memang benar- benar mengenalku dan memang berniat tersenyum. Kita tentu saja bisa membedakan ketika sesorang hanya tersenyum kepada orang yang tidak dikenal dan ketika dia memang benar- benar tersenyum dengan maksud. Bukannya GR atau apa, hanya saja…lelaki itu terlihat sangat familiar, dia benar- benar mirip dan terlihat persis seperti orang yang kukenal, someone that I love actually. Itu yang membuatku terdiam. Aku seperti melihat "dia yg ingin kulupakan itu" tersenyum dan melambay dari luar jendela itu. Dan tentu saja itu bukan orang itu, dia di Indonesia, tidak mungkin dia tiba- tiba ada di sydney. Weird!!! Sampai sekarang aku masih terheran heran dengan kejadian itu. Kalau aku melihat orang yang mirip seseorang, hanya berlalu, itu biasa. Tapi..orang yang sangat mirip..tersenyum dengan "niat" dan melampai sangat lama…bukan hanya sekilas atau sambil lalu, it's definitely something that is really weird…

Anyway…, aku sedang berniat untuk mooving on dari orang itu, mungkin itu pertanda kali ya..kalau aku benar- benar harus get rid of him.. :)
