JULY and "Some" Where

Aw..., finally I have a time to write again!!
and it's July already..
and I am some where now. when I said "some", I meant it ;)
but I can't tell you where I am right now. one thing for sure, I am traveling, but I promise will tell you where am I and all of the stupid and funny stories when I finished the mission ;)

This year is a great year for me. really full of "weird" things!! all of unpredictable and struggle.
Well, I got a feeling I'll be fine soon.
Really2 fine, and soon!!
I think I'm dealing with my biggest problem now. hm..wait!! not my biggest! my second big one. my biggest problem is the financial problem about finishing my school. I hope and pray it'll be solved. God will show me the way.
the problem that I meant was "the stupid too much nonsense feeling" that always haunts me!!
ups!!!
gotta go!! it's goin' late now.
I have to wake up really early tomorrow morning to see the sunrise at the magical place :)
nity nite

#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.. :)

Marii ngeceng lagii.. :D

Hmmm...

sepertinya aku punya crush bariu :">

hihihi..jadi malu.. :")

Oke...jadi ceritanya aku baru suka hari ini..hahahaha

parahnya..namanya sama seperti kecenganku yg lalu :p again??

dan sepertinya aku emang langanan ama cinta platonik deh..

soalnya kecenganku yg ini juga akan segera kembali ke negaranya...( sayangnya nggak bisa sebut merk, takut terditeksi...hahaha...negaranya Hitler :P)

hmmm...hehe..anaknya asik..cukup easy going, tadi pulang kelas aku sempat dinner bareng ama hang out sebentar di pub kampus... lumayannlah..penat setelah presentasi, duduk di luar sambil dengerin musik yg chillin' bgt..

hohoho...:p

hmm....tp...td itu hari terakhir kelas kita ( aku cuma punya satu kelas yg sama ama dia) jd, belum tentu bakal ketemu lagi atau nggak... :(

tp, ga masalah..paling2 besok aku jg uda lupa n uda punya kecengan baru..hahaha as always :p

we'll see... paling2 bebrapa hari kemudian aku akan menulis 'mari ngeceng lagi :D part II

hahaha

Moving …..(Again)

Hi everyone :)

Finally aku pindah juga ke apartment baru, sebuah studio. sedih siih waktu dulu baru pindah dari apartment lamaku..soalnya uda terlanjur cinta sama tempat itu, apalagi kamarku :( hwaaaa...plus sekarang aku ngak punya kamar lagi.

Tapi, studio ini cukup besar lho dibandingkan ukuran studi biasanya, jadi..nggak masalah lah :) however...namanya jg nggak punya kamar sendiri..tetap aja nggak enak ya? secara seingat aku, terakhir aku share kamar dengan orang lain itu duuuluuuu banget, jaman2 SD, sama adikku. kebayang dong, sekarang, tuntutan dompet..hahaha..

Tenang, itu bukan kamarku sendiri kok, itu cuma sisi-ku plus sofa buat nonton TV, don't have room anymore

Nah, ini ukuran yg sebenarnya, yg single bed itu tempat tidurku, yg queen bed, tempat tidurnya desy

Nggak enaknya nggak punya kamar sendiri itu, aku nggak bisa mutar music pake speaker sering2, mesti toleransi dong, rommate ku lagi belajar misalnya, atau dia nggak suka musikku mungkin ( plus musik ku kan rada2 aneh kalo kata teman2ku hahaha) truss...aku nggak bisa terlalu bebas ngobrol di skype kaya dulu..nggak enak dong, aku nggak mau jd anak yg annoying dan mengganggu teman sekamarku..apalagi.....kalo aku ngobrol sama.....si...itu...hahahaha....bc bow..misalnya...nggak asik dong...ngobrol norak2 kedengaran rommate :p

Ini sudut bertapaku sekarang, tempat ngenet, belajar, nyimpan tas, bc - on skype :p

Ow, apartment yang baru ini, deket bgt dengan jalan, jadi ribut bgt dgn suara mobil yg lalu lalang. lebih parahnya lagi, pas di sudut pula, kebayang doong setiap lampu tanda nyebrang pejalan kaki bunyi..dan itu pastinya setiap saat, sepanjang malam. belum lagi karena aku tinggal di redfern (daerah yg terkenal agak2 serem karena banyak aborigin-nya) malam2 banyak juga yg mabuk and berantem teriak2 pake bom F... tp nggak masalah sih, berhubung aku kalo uda tidur kaya batu, paling keganggu waktu proses2 (prosees??halah) mau tidur aja, gitu molor...leewaat :p

Ini persimpangan biang kerok keributan,si lampu merah dan mobil2 itu-- view dari balkon

hhm, terus, disini nggak ada built in wardrobe, jadi..kita nggak punya lemari kaya dulu lagi..segera deeh..baju2 yg jarang dipake masuk koper dan bersarang di kolong tempat tidur ( berasa pulang kampung nenek...banyak isi dibawah kolong tempat tidur) dan akhirnya lemari yg dulunya dipake buat lemari sepatu, terpaksa dijadikan lemari pakaian, 3 laci buat desy, 3 laci buat aku..hiks...sedih bgt nggak sih? hahahaha

Itu lemari yg dulunya dipake buat naro sepatu, sekarang jadi buat naro baju, 3 laci seorang, berbagi dgn desy..hiks

Microwave!! di apartment dulu kan uda langsung ada microwavem, nah disini nggak ada..jadi kita mesti nyewa lain, tapi tentu aja belum sempat buat ke rental centre, semuanya pasa sibuk dgn tugas sih. btw, ada cerita bodoh mengenai microwave. Jadi, kalo disini kan org suka buang barang2 bekas yg sebenarnya masih bagus. jadi...secara kita ini broke students..kita bertamasya ke ruang sampah..( jgn bayankan tempat seperti TPA lampulo, tempatnya agak di basement dan lumayan bersih kok, sanggup buat bernafas laah..) jadi kita mau nyari2 barang apa yg bisa dipungut..lumayan banyak lho yg masih bagus, termasuk printer, vacum cleaner, kursi, dan rak..plus MICROWAVE..hahaha..nah..denger2 dari landlord, barang2 yg dibuang disini masih bagus, cuma mereka buang karena uda punya yg baru. jadi....sahlah!! aku dan desy mengangkat microwa yg surprisingly berat..hahhaa..sesampainya di studio kita, kita langsung coba idupin kan? yay!!! nyala...coba masukin makanan, ngeset waktu, bisaa.... dan mari tekan tombol START, duh..kok nggak bisa..? tekan lagi, mungkin kurang keras...dan..nggak tetap tidak bisa..hahaha..ternyata itu sebabnya nggak dipake lagi..emang masih nyala...tapi rombol start nya rusak..a.k.a NGGAK BISA DIPAKAI! dan sampai sekarang itu microwave masih terduduk manis didapur, pada malas ngangkat lagi ke tempat sampah...beeraaat.. :(

Our Kitchen, yang di sudut itu, si microwave rusak yg masih nangkring dan belum balik ke ruang sampah..

well, tapi aku mulai suka lho tempat ini, asik.. :)

Meja makan yg menemukan tempat yg pas bgt...dan juga TV ditengah ruangan, maklum, nggak punya space lagi

nyantai di balkon ini lumayan asik kok, walaupun ribut, tp punya sense tersendiri, apalagi kalau hujan ditemani hot lemon tea, cemilan dan music..semuanya campur aduk..not too bad lah :p

Disciplinary Transformation

That’s the name of my design studio course. It’s an interesting course, how to generate a musical compositional technique into architecture. It was really difficult to understand at the beginning, especially with all of this musical language. As a result, I was fail in my first assignment, my approach was wrong. O M G, I was so sad and depressed when I was fail, my confidence’s drop, I felt stupid and bla..bla.. I was crying too L that was the time in my blog where I wrote about crying, depressed and so on.

Then, I moved on, I don’t know where the confidence came back from, and it’s good. I started to cheers myself and thought that I have to be positive, that I can try to do my best. I started to look back at the theory, try research them better. Then I became a student that I used to hate when I was in high school, LooL. The student who always wait for the lecturer after the class and asked him things. Yeah.. I used to be a lazy student, well, not lazy, but I prefer to play than study..for sure ..:p but now..I’m not saying that I’m diligent, but I can say that I care more, and I don’t want to be fail for the second time (I don’t know yet though, if I’m gonna pass or fail for my second assignment, I hope I’ll pass).

Today was my presentation. It was…hmm, I can’t say great, but I was ok. I think I could defense myself and answer the juror’s question. They didn’t agree for everything I said though, but well, I did my best. I just leave the rest to the God..Hopefully I’ll pass….AAAmiiiinnnn…J

I’m gonna tell you what I did here; I’ll put some of my drawing. OO, wait!! There’s something that I wanna tell you. Last night was crazy!!. So, here’s the things,

I supposed to present today, and last night I feel a sleep 4 hours…, then.. I finished my drawing already, put the material on 3dmax software. Just need to set the camera and light to render them.<-- that’s the architecture students things, you might be familiar with that. But…something unexpected happened!!! Suddenly I couldn’t open the file. My software didn’t work!! I was so stress!! It was due in 12 hours!! I thought I’m gonna die.

Then, I’m so happy that we have internet nowadays, a friend of mine is online on YM. Great… I told him all the things and he was really nice to let me send him the files and he’ll checked it for me. It worked!!I sent him the files, he rendered it for me, even though the materials were not appear, because the material that I used before were from my computer. Anyway, it worked then I fixed them in Photoshop ( ooo..I love photoshop…it’s the best program ever that help you in so many ways). And here are some of my work :D

ps: it's written last night, I couldn't post it, because my internet connection was stupid last night
