I think the life cycle should be backwards.
You should start out dead and get it out of the way.
Then, you wake up in an old age home feeling better every day.
You get kicked out for being too healthy; go collect your pension, then
when you start work, you get a gold watch on your first day.
You work 40 years until you’re young enough to enjoy your retirement.
You drink alcohol, you party, you’re generally promiscuous and you get ready for High School.
You go to primary school, you become a kid , you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a baby, and then…
You spend your last 9 months floating peacefully in luxury, in spa-like
conditions; central heating, room service on tap, larger quarters every
day, and then, you finish off as an orgasm.

i just called my mum out of the blue. she was kind of surprised. of course she would be, considering i call only once a month, itupun kadang setelah sms2 nyuruh nelpon. i felt like talking to her. besides it must be lonely in the house cuz dad’s out and about..

talked bout heaps of stuff. family matters(a rather frustrating bit), how im doing in uni, and of course random stuffs such as the horrifying fashion of todays wanita jakarta baik dari abg sampe tante2 berperut buncit. plus we came to the subject that we need a good one on one session some day where all will be revealed about her past love life. hahaha jengjeeeenggg.. i only know a little bit. and it seems that the things i do remember ARE WRONG. jiahhhhhhh. pnasaran maaaan. but its cool. its okee.. emang sgala sesuatu harus datang pada waktunya ya. will be interesting. hearing out her stories as a young woman, not as ‘mum’.

its been waaay too long!! iv complained to her that org2 tu klo ada first impression dr gue tu byasanya gak jaoh2 dr “judes/mengerikan/sombong/nyolot” because of my face. trus nyokap gue bingung. krn mnrt dia muka gue gak judes.. “klo ibu mungkin iya kali yah..”. hahahah tertawalah saya dan tentu gue amin-i!!

AAARGHH i miss my mum T__T

busettt its been ages!!! hahahah. rasanya aneh ni nulis2 lagi.

apa aja ya yg dah lewat. coba gue recap. camp dah lewat [camp was GREAT!!]. trus we saw 300 the friday after camp, ber50 di melben central.. trus.. oh, went clubbing for the first time this year. im getting old, really. the excitement has worn off. or was that because i lacked sleep a couple of days before? kombinasi kali yah. mid-semester presentations at uni juga dah lewat.

past couple of days has been kinda surreal. so much grief in the world. dlm sgala skala, yg deket2 iya yg jauh2 juga iya. yg lagi diberitain skg2 ini the shootings at virginia tech. man thats like a scene out of a nightmare!! i pray that nobody at swinburne is that stressed out and starts to.. AAARGHHH.. yea. but then again its not as easy to get guns down here compared to up there.

i managed to make roast pork on monday! hohoh i marinated it for a couple of days in bumbu charsiu hahah. i didnt get the desired crackling sih, it was rather gosong hahah. tp enak dagingnya! i cut the pieces up too large, so i made smaller cuts lateron and put everything back in the oven. YEAH I CAN MAKE ROAST PORK! what i also did was putting cut capsicum during the last 30mins baking. critanya mo bikin roasted capsicum gitu. enakkk wangi2 gitu jadinya. the washing up was a bitch si. gue rendem 2 hari, tetep aja masih ada bekas2nya dikit. arrghhh. dan minyaknya ituloh!! i use it now to fry my eggs with. huhu. im sure its no good, its all fat afterall.. abisnya enak sih, gimana dong =p.

speaking of fat, tadi ada acara di tv (yes i know!! tumben amat ye gue ntn tv!!) ttg the US size 0 phenomenon. this gorgeous looking woman took up the challenge, untuk show ppl klo ini efeknya emang ngerusak.. so she went on a crash diet+exercise for 30days, with regular health chekups of course, to go from a size 8 to 4 (aka size 0). i mean.. the woman is tiny even with her size 8 frame. she became really emotional, snappy and basically unhealthy at the end of it. i cant imagine going through this for a long period. rasanya harus determinasi tinggi/desperate to starve yourself out like that. pllus it messes up your body sedemikian rupa sampe ada kemungkinan lu susah hamil. or you might even lose the chance of getting pregnant! malasss.. i’ll never have an eating disorder!! i love food too much i spose ^^.
tp gila juga sih, org2 yg ngerasa terpressure untuk conform with runway standards. somehow individualsnya gak spenuhnya blameless, kok bisa2nya succumb to that pressure.

perhaps ppl should change the standard back to the 1700s. smua orang must gain lots of weight to be deemed attractive! hahah. krispy kreme seneng tuuuhh.. anna wintour would be just mortified im sure, even more dibandingin jaman2nya grunge era.

time flies again. its nearing may. MAY, people.. 5 month of the year already. tp anehnya the weather is still warm. im not even wearing warm clothes!! tp enak sih, i like this kind of temperature. gak kepanasan tp blom dingin juga.

(okay that was really random, the bit bout the weather)

hp gue mulai bertingkah neh. the button in the middle mengeluarkan bunyi ceklakceklik everytime i push it. tp gue males ganti hp. ganti apa coba. i like adits phone sih. its simple with features yg just right, very uncharacteristic for nokia.

(barusan juga random. ada baeknya gue brenti nulis.)

for starters, i truly DISLIKE drinking milk. it has been forced down my throat for the first 14 years of my life, and i didnt have any power to object to the enforcement that is my mother (she can be a scary little lady if she really puts her efforts into it).

a decade later i seem to get slightly wiser (cieh) and realize that i do need the calcium found in this dreadfully tasting liquid, not necessarily now but surely later in life. id rather not have weak bones lah intinya. and yes, my dads happening was what ringed the alarm.

so.. how to approach this matter?? i have tried adding banana nesquik to my milk, but i found that it looked alarmingly yellow. too much colouring? trus lama2 bosen juga krn kaga abis2 (sampe skg masi ada sisa). jadiiiiiii akhirnya gue kepikiran untuk nambahin sirup thru my milk.
dan ternyata…. ENAK! SUKSES!!

doooohhh if only mum (or myself.. ) had thought about this earlier on, it wouldve spared us SO MUCH GRIEF! and perhaps i wouldv consumed all my milk.. krn kadang saya kurang ajar and threw it away down the sink (such an ungrateful little child i was) or had my cousin drink it(which a nobler deed). mum used to put choc powder thru my milk. i hated it ( I HATED IT!!! OH DEAR HEAVENS HOW I HATED DRINKING MILK) but a hint of choc was always better thn plain milk.

-moving on- sirup yg gue campurkan skg adalah marjan boudoin yg rasa lychee punch. enaaaaakkk.. klo sirup kan cepet abis jadi i can experiment with flavours = gak bosan.

btw i dont really like chocolate milk. kecuali big m coklat. tp itu juga pasti banyakan gulanya trus im sure its fullmilk. jadi klo itu yg gue jadikan sbg minuman rutin tentunya gue akan membulat dgn cepat.

im picky with milk also. dulu keyo sukanya beli rev dan gue nyomot2. rasanya enak, its not ‘milky’. nyaris ga ada rasanya, which i very much like. plus its lowfat and highcalcium = yg saya cari.

(hohohoh. at least im doing SOME good, dear mum)

woh its been one heck of a week!!! assignments + camp.

just had another group meeting today, at lucky coq ofcourse cuz mr secretary was in need of some pizza. meetingnya lama aja loh. 2 jam. jam pertama diisi dgn pembeberan research dan brainstorming.. i didnt have anything to offer krn jujur aja gue belom research lebih mendalam. but what the other guys found was such a wealth of info sampe kita bingung mo diapain. terestablishlah bahwa kita ga ada decisionmaker di grup hahah. yah well pokoknya.. jam berikutnya things started to move along, which was good.

lalu gue ma tash straight to glen waverly untuk meeting lagi. hoshhhhh.. ne baru pulang. capeee.
tapiiiiiihhh masih harus nyelesein buku camp, baek yg indo maupun yg english. kemudiannnn mensortir tshirt2 (smoga telah terkumpul semua.. omg. counting has never been my strongest point). lalu FINALLY sempat doing laundry. buset dah klo ngga hari ini tentunya gak sempet krn gak bakalan mungkin kering on thursday evening. belom packing juga tentunya. but thats not my main concern.

am finally loading CS2 on my machine. sangat telat ya, CS3 is going to come out soon. tp yasudahloh. better late thn never, id say!

hoshhhh…. kamis depan ada yg due. MATILAH. identity design. i need to tweak so much! my wording, more indepth info, usergroupnya kurang terdefine, sama approach satu lagi untuk menentukan logo. but i think im going to play around a bit more with it.

banyak yg harus dikerjakannn. SMANGAT!!! BURNINGGGGGG!!!!!

i just had a chat with a friend and we came onto the topic of 80s cartoons. well ofkos krn kita adalah child of the 80s maka wajarlah tontonan kita adalah kartun2 80s juga.

i had a couple of favourite characters. did anybody else watch lady lovelylocks (LLL)??? well there’s this villain yg tentunya terlihat jauh lebih keren dr lakonnya.

dutch = gravin ravenzwart
english = dutchess ravenwaves

VS


dutch = prinses goudlokje
english = lady lovelylocks (hence the series’ title. duh.)

i absolutely loved LLL. i even had a sticker collection book thingie from panini. the stickers i had to collect are just like these pics! ini yg special gituh, yg artsy ini bahan stickernya silver2y. the regular ones are just images taken from the series. sayangnya gue gak sempet fill my entire book. some stickers missing. hixhix. but anyway, ladylovelylocks.org helped out a lot to see what i missed out on ^^.

now there’s another series that i just loved. judulnya ‘jem and the holograms’. i had to google the title, cuz i only remembered the villains! why? because these girls were fierce, where as jem and her posse were a bunch of pink wuzzies.

THE MISFITS. excuse the bad image. but trust me, they are so very better dressed thn….

THE HOLOGRAMS.

i always, ALWAYS wanted ladylovelylocks to just accidentally loose a couple of strands of her magic hair. atau for the holograms to just lose an award or sumtin. TAPI KENAPA SELALU GAK PERNAH KALAH!?!?!?!

this fact bugged me. so you’d think the series’ creators mustv done something wrong when they cannot indoctrinate a 6yo, right. they shudve just let them win. just every now and then to keep the balance.

okayy.. why i liked the ravenhaired girl? one. she had LONG SHINY BLACK HAIR. she was so much prettier then the rest. plus.. the colour of her dress. trus as i watched the series more often, gue gregetan banget krn tiap2 kali kok nyaris2 berhasil menang. tp kok ga perna menang. jadi simpatik kan gue (mungkin stengahnya juga krn sbg anak kecil, mustahil jugalah kita ‘menang’ dr nyokap klo lagi ada apa2. hehe). plus dr koleksi stiker panini.. her images were the prettiest. as u can see from the pic, bajunya juga lebih keren kannn. hehe.

oke. why i liked the misfits? cuz they weren’t all dressed in pink. their songs had more oomph. if uv seen the series, ud know that their outfits were fierce!!! go youtube it (OMG THEY HAVE IT ON YOUTUBE!!!!) see what i mean.

i followed other series when i was little, both girlie n boyish cartoons. tp i wont elaborate. at least for now.
these 2 i really hold dear makanya gue bahas.
(i can still hear the LLL jingle in my head ~ hihihi)

the 90s kids.. they grew up watching pokemon. digimon. dan monmon laennya.
sayang yah, transformers won’t hold such a significance..
(i like the decepticons better also. hehe. logonya lebih keren =p )

okaaaaayy enough reminiscing ^^
let us read some bleach!

this LV has created quite a hype.
for starters, it costs 45g’s!!!! whats that? a bag more expensive than a merc!!

its called the Tribute Patchwork. its infused 15 previous styles in to one bag.
they’ve made around two dozen, and of course all has been SOLD OUT
we can all blame marc jacobs. anyway its sposedly a marketing strategy, cuz LV’s going to put out a new collection after the frankenstein tribute.

but be sad no more, because you can still get your greedy little hands on this version, brought to you by Urban Satchel.

how long will it take for other brands (aka the masses) to follow??

yep. terjadilah kembali. gue ngerjain tugas sampe pagi. STUPID PROCRASTINATION! unlike most ppl, iv failed to do substantial amounts of work during the weekend. sadly for me the most difficult thing to beat is actually STILL myself. rasanya self discipline gue makin menipis deh -_-*. malam ini efektif skali tho. hahah it better be otherwise im doomed.

tp sungguh tadi ada momen2 di mana gue ngerasa stuck dan terngiang2lah pikiran ke saat2 gue ngerjain packaging pas semester 3. AAARGHHHHH. masa kaya gitu lagiiiihhhhh.. NEVERRRRRR. so yea i just kept on going. hahah. dannnnnnnnnnnn skg bisa tidur bentar, 6 hours should be enough at this stage.

nti masi harus ngeprint. its been ages since iv been to a printer. hope all works out smoothly tomorrow. masi agak2 resah sih, until i get the finished product in hand T_T.

so. im off burning and catching some sleep.

a free translation of jerawat batu. one has managed to find a place right in the middle of my chin.
its a very visual addition. -my friends were having a field day yest-. plus if you touch it rasanya nyeri. why is this worth an entry? krn iv never had a jerawat batu before, thats why i find this somewhat fascinating! i also find it very annoying that i cant squeeze it out (thats what i normally do with the regulars, should they decide to show up. with me squeezing sort of speeds up the process of healing. something i find very handy). rasanya this will take its time to heal -_-*. rese. its been around since last week. what….NEARLY A WEEK OMG!!! smoga in the future gak lagi dehhh..

skg sedang dlm perobatan, gue oles2in acnol. minta dr adit. sbenernya mnrt gue obat ini tuh rather fishy. krn its so very cheap, dan packagingnya explains NOTHING ttg contents whatsoever. so i tried to google it. nothing. well, just a review ttg obat jerawat. ktnya si emang cepet ngeringin jerawat. tp gue penasaran dong, bisa cepet kering kya gitu knp?? apa isinyaaaaaa?? oh well im not expecting any miracles. tp berhubung gue lagi ga ada anything else at the moment, then acnol will have to do. i wish i had some tea tree oil lying around…

heroes. barusan ntn ep17. buset dehh series ini seru bangetttt!!!!! lost.. prison break.. KE LAUT AJA!!!!
(those 2 i mentioned before, i didnt follow the series. not interested sama skali, eventhough i tried watching it. bleh.)
tp klo nonton heroes gue bisa heboh sendiri. its such a good series! thank you tim kring. perhaps lateron bakalan ada movienya? hmmmm… would be interesting to see how that will turn out.

my cousin just sent me these pics when we were still in holland. it was in ‘94. very oldskool. observe the fashion, my people!!! hahahaha
omgoshh i get all warm n fuzzy just looking at these. good ol’ trip down memory lane

anyways, ini di rumahnya tessa pas dia lagi mo pindahan. kita bukannya ngebantuin tp malah rame sendiri. tp dimaafkan, kan masi kecil… heheheh

nganterin the bombongs (tessa n fam) ke airport.

with the other kids.

pas gue kelas 6. that guy that looks at your direction was indeed cute tapi sayangnya manusia itu mayan menyebalkan. ga tau de klo skg..

cheers to the bad makeup of ‘92, brought to us by the so called makeup artist yg tega mempermak muka gue sedemikian rupa! lucky her that i was rather ‘manut’ back in the days.. just click on the image cuz you cant see me in the current view. but the sight is rather shocking hahah.
