Anggi has also made a wish list,, but it was all about gadgets. (boys will be boys…*rolls eye*) so here’s mines, just because I’m competitive that way. and because I was just trying to look sweet on the previous post, so I’m making up to it now. haha kidding. not really. anyways,, here’s the list,

1. Lomo Colour Splash (Chakra)  Camera

2. Lomo Fisheye Camera #2 - WHITE.

3. Canon 450D

4. Nikon D90.

5. Sony a900.

It’s world’s first 24,6 Mp DLSR Camera.

6. Sunglasses by Mac Funamizu; Hands-Free Photography.

So I can take a picture with a ‘wink’.

7. Three-Dimensional Minuro Web Cam.

Because he’s miles away. and my built-in webcam is not as cute ;p

8. Aiptek Pocket Cinema.

It displays images or movies on a wall or screen or any other clear surface in fact, and it’s just as big as a cellphone. You can hide a cinema in your pokcet ;p

9. Blue Track Mouse by Microsoft.

Finally, a mouse that can be used on any surface!

10. 2GB HACKED! USB

just to turn heads ;p

11.  iThesis smartphone and UMPC Hybrid.

Finally, a mobile device that can finish your thesis for you! You just need to type in the topic of your thesis, and voila! In less than an hour, you have yourself a well-written Thesis. (with impressive footnotes and all!)

12. T-Mobile G1, The first gadget (ever!) to operate on Google Android!

Just because it has “Andro” in the name ;p

Image Source: random places you’d rather not know. (Yes, that means; I’m too lazy to list em, so yeah, well, just consider it free advertising).

every girl has a wish list. and the ones who doesn’t…is delusional. no one’s that satisfied with their life (to not want anything else). so spare me the bullshit.

MY wish list: (in random order. because #4 SHOULD be #1 but I don’t want you to roll your eyes at the beginning of this post).

1. a pet pig. pink, baby pink. I’ve asked my boyfriend to buy me one for x-mas, but he was afraid my dad would turn against him. apparently, you can’t train a pig to not pee/poo inside the house, they are THAT stubborn. no wonder there’s only a “chauvinist male pig”. you chauvinist male octopus! naah… you chauvinist male chuka lidako! shoot. I’m now hungry.
2. a pet baby wombat. they are so friggin cute and jumpy and cute and jumpy and CUTE!
3. a Christmas card. even just one would do. all I get are either SMSes, emails, or phone calls. which I’m thankful for and highly appreciate, by the way. But I miss the good ol’ x-mas card times when we decorate the front door with Christmas cards we got from friends and relatives with the cute abstract drawings our little nephews/niece made.
4. skripsi gw beres awal desember,, ngga banyak revisi,, sidang gw dapet A,, wisuda februari. AMIN! I wish this for my friends also. Not because I’m nice, it’s actually because gw mikirin diri sendiri; belom mau pisah aja ama kalian,, jadi ayo maju bareng!
5. a good cook book. because anyone who can read, can cook. I want to prove that sentence.
6. a mix-tape. I miss the good ol’ days where guys make mix-tapes for the girl they have a crush on. I want to know your record selection. yes, I mean Andro. lets find out whether he has been reading my blog.
7. kipas angin buat twix, my lap top.
8. the perfect casing for my Nokia N95 8GB. I usually just shove it in my jeans pocket and now the back side is starting to peel off. (yes, and also because I often bring it when showering to listen to some music and before drying my hands I grab the phone, so yeah, I’m dumb. shoot me).
9. earings. because a ring will be seen as such a big deal to my daddy and mother. and I personally think that earings are a more intimate gift than the blahs. I’m actually a bracelet person. by definition, I prefer bracelets than the blahs. so when I suddenly wear earings…that must mean something *stares meaningfully* yes, that means mother will disown me if I don’t wear earings with the wardrobe she picked for me to wear on a certain occasion. and her earings are far too glamor, and OLD for me.
10. a condo in dubai. and a life-time supply of free cellular calls, and airplane tickets to any destination I desire.

I’m gonna leave it on 10 for now. because people love either 10 or 100 (100 worst-dressed celebrity! 100 one hit wonders! how to loose a guy in 10 days!). but I honestly couldn’t think of a 100 wishes because I am, sorry to disappoint, not THAT unsatisfied. or… from 10 to 100 I could put “end child-prostitution”, “stop human-trafficking”, “make poverty history”, “perbaharui SDA Indonesia” (which was actually one of egan’s THREE THINGS I’D ASK GENIE back in junior high), “make karma hit Ahmad Dhani really hard”, “keep Dewi Persik the way she is because being delusional is less depressing”, “legalize people adopting Koala”, legalize weed for brownies”, bla bla bla…

zzzZZZzz…

you make me go “pffft~!!”. shoot me already.

I’ve posted a thread about wisdom before, as I am very wise for my age. *nods wisely*

1. Can’t sleep? Start working on your thesis. It works wonders!
2. Trying not to blog so very often (so that people will think that you actually have a life)? Commit to finishing your thesis. Voila! You get yourself a big fat blog.
3. When on phone, girls don’t like it when guys ask them why they’re so quite (because you know they’re reading something online) and just when she’s being chatty, you ask for permission to sleep. Seriously, in some part of the world, that leads to a bitch-slap.
4. If you are friends with someone who has (very) low self-esteem, try not to be the manipulative bitch you are when having lunch together with him/her by telling him/her what he/she should order (just because you want to have a taste and you’re not sure whether it’s good or not so you make him/her order it for you). He/She WILL want to have lunch with you FOR THE REST OF HIS/HER LIVE. And that wont always result in victory at your end. Trust me, people with low self-esteem could be REALLY ANNOYING. (Having to HAVE TO TYPE so many His/Her and He/She is starting to get into my nerves).
5. Guys, DON’T YOU EVER DARE GIVING THE SIDE-EYE when your PMSing girlfriend is pouring a tinsy bitsy more of the apple syrup for her pancake. Just let her get sugar-high. That’s safer than having her be on ‘normal PMSing mood’ anyways, right?
6. Slap your friend when DIA starts to say MAAF out of habit. It’s annoying. Go audition for Bajaj Bajuri.
7. You know your friendship is THAT deep when your friend BARELY apologize.
8. There’s no such thing as “the cool genre” when talking about music. If your boyfriend automatically sings to a folk song randomly played on the radio, then let him be. On food, however, there is. So if your best friend has never had the devil’s curly hair (Indomie telor kornet keju-nya PAK MOES), it is OK to post about it on the internet that he is not the man you thought he was. (I know Gan, I’m being annoying. I’m just REALLY MESMERIZED with that fact).
9. Never believe nor even think that you have “a type” when it comes to dating. You will most likely get attached to someone completely different.
10. When your needy PMSing girlfriend text you something annoyingly mushy, reply asap as if your life depends on it. or else her cellphone would turn empty batt when she’s not home.
11. No, baby, I’m not talking about you. It’s about a friend of mines with her boyfriend. Really. Seriously, I’m not kidding. Relax. It’s not about you. Trust me. Really.
12. This next few lines is directed to NINA, a very good and urm unique friend of mine. You know you’re in love trouble when you talk faster than me. No one sane and cute talks faster than me. So just answer his calls, already. He asked me about you through ym.
13. This is for u-know-who-u-r retarded friend of mine: You know you’re into someone when he’s completely unavailable or gay. kidding. (but not so kidding). “you know you’re into someone when you bring up his name at very random moments then call me a bitch for asking about him” (??)
14. Random: One of the security guard at my place is ganteng me’ten-teng according to adin and atri. I must say… they are telling the truth (with an exaggeration). Girls, his name is angga. I wasn’t planning on going out (as it was weekend, and sane people stay in on weekends), but I was really currious, so I went down on him stairs looking for him to ask him for my car keys because I need to get my sandals. and please don’t tell him you read it here. the things I do for my mates. gosh.
15. Andro, he’s nothing compared to you. or your arms. your shoulders. your back. your chest. and the abs… btw, have I mentioned your shoulders? oh, and your severe cheesiness ^^
16. You know you should spend some time out of Bandung when you complain about how long it takes to get to Paris Van Java from Ayam Goreng Suharti (Cemara).
17. If you’re currently in a relationship and planning to go eat at Pak Moes on a Saturday Night and play “What If” or “Marry, Fuck, Kill” game with your bestfriend that you haven’t gotten the chance to spend some quality time with, bring your cellphone. If you’re single, then, too bad.
18. You know you have to go to the bathroom when … it feels like it. So, enough for sharing wisdom #2.

ah-oh before I go, can anyone (preferably a cute IT geek, part time. full time ridiculously wealthy and has no idea about it. male. above 30) help me with the whole placing-picture-on-my-posts madness? Because no matter which box I check before uploading, THE IMAGES WILL ALWAYS APPEAR ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE POST AND IT’S STARTING TO GET INTO MY NERVES. SEE THE PICTURE??? I SET IT ON ‘CENTER’! -problem solved now, thanks to Michael Jubel who made me try change the theme-

PS. I freakishly miss my quirky boyfriend so bad! and it has NOTHING to do with that picture.

caution: this post (is corny and) wont be written entirely in english because I’m currently not in the mood to think of the proper english word for everything that doesn’t even make sense in Indonesian. and yes, also because my english is going to hell. so, oh well.

Starting with, for you who noticed (and kindly sent me an SMS showing how concerned you are) about how sappy I was in my previous post, of which I deleted, for no logical explanation, I give you a truck load of thank yous. Thank you for having such warm hearts. and I’m sorry that I feel the need to delete it as I don’t want so many people to see the emo-sobbing PMSing side of me, which I blame it on some people (and PMS) because before I met them (and when not PMSing) I was blissfully unaware of how weird unique I was whereas now I am acutely aware of how corrupted (and perverted) my mind is.

And now, on this saturday night, just minutes before I’m going out to have a proper dinner with my housemate (I’m gonna keep referring you as my housemate, Tri) at Pak Moes where I will most certainly end up twirling my hair until my fingers turns red for trying not to ask for a cigarette,,, I am blogging about “Mars versus Venus” as I just got off the phone with a friend dealing with the shit I had been dealing with in my past relationships.

1. they say: cewek suka ngungkit. FACT: cowok mempertahankan behaviour yang minta di ungkit.
2. cowok kurang suka kalau cewek pengen tau keadaan mantannya, and that’s reasonable because girls usually hates their ex, so if there’s an ex the girl likes to regularly and eagerly keep in touch with,, then guys have a reason to feel insecure but that doesn’t mean that you can’t work things out.
3. Guys don’t contact their formers because maintaining a good relationship post break ups is just not a typical guy thing. They’d rather go do sports or hit the bars than sit around and whine and get all sappy and mushy. So when a guy contacts his ex and doesn’t tell you about it then when caught uses “ya emang pengen tau aja kabarnya gimana. cuman sebatas pengen tau kabarnya aja. kenapa sih gitu doang dipermasalahkan?”, then … *straight face* you’re pretty much screwed whatever you say.
4. This one’s based on a survey; the percentage of cheating committed by female are actually higher than those conducted by male. think of this, woman are really good with keeping secrets. so when we speak alot of one name, you seriously don’t need to worry. It’s the ones that we don’t talk about that matters. I will get back on this later. housematey just called and on her way to my place, so I better take a shower now *GRIN* feel free to add some in the comment box ^^ Have a great saturday night! (though it’s raining here in Bandung!)
5. When a girl already says that she’s OK with something, but the guy keeps asking her whether she’s really OK with it or not, that means what he’s about to do is diabolical hehe. When girls are up to something they know would cause friction, they don’t ask guys whether they’ll be OK with it or not. Girls will just do it then goes, “oh I’m sorry. I didn’t think it would be a problem” *GRIN*
6. When a girl gives the same answer more than 3 times, it means she’s lying. Example: “Yeah, sure, that’s fine. It’s ok. relax… I’m totally cool with it!”. When a guy does that, well, same thing.
7. When a girl asks something to a guy and instead of giving her an answer, the guy asks something back, then he’s buying time to find an excuse. When a guys asks something and the girl keeps changing the subject, she’s buying time.
8. Girls know it when Guys lie. When a guy can sense a girl is lying, then actually, she wants to get caught. Because if a girl has decided to really keep something to herself, no chance in hell guys could tell. MWAHA.
9. Guys can do romantic waaaaay better than girls. Girls do revenge way scarier than guys.
10. A survey shows that girls are more likely than boys to get alcohol from parents, including from parents of friends. Because it’s harder to turn down a request from a girl.
11. When a girl does something totally impulsive for a guy, they call her aggressive. and a slut. When a guy does something impulsive for a girl, they find him sweet.
12. They say male think about sex every time. FACT: girls do too. And the girl who doesn’t always think of sex when near you, is not THAT interested in you *GRIN*

NOTE: I’m not a feminist or sexist or whatever. I don’t label myself. I just find all the things above true ;p

but Britney Spears (or Mrs. oh my gawd that britney’s shameless) is my new role model! Never been a big fan of her and there was actually a time in my life when I felt that I could relate with Live on Release’s song “I’m afraid of Britney Spears”, but listening to her new (come back?) single “Piece of Me” made me think quite highly of her to even bother blogging about her. So I guess yeah, now I’m one of those girls that thinks Britney is cool ;p

The song shows the sort of horrible things paparazzi could put celebrities through. I love that she ‘responded’ to all the critics in such a fun way ^^ The way she takes em all then sings it (I do hope) will inspire people -who are too scared to fight back- to actually stop wasting their energy and emotion on what people say about them and start living their life the way they please. You can click here, to see what positive effect the song has given to someone. (Similar “positive energy boosting” songs; “Pink - So What”, “Avril Lavigne - Fall Back”, hmm what else yaa..)

Talking about music, these are some of what I’ve been listening to alot lately:

1. Britney Spears - Piece of Me
2. Newton Faulkner - She Got Time
3. Estelle ft Kanye West - American Boy
4. The Boy Least Likely To -I’m Glad I Hitched My Apple Wagon to Your Star
5. Postal Service - The Districts Sleeps Alone Tonight
6. Jason Mraz - Beautiful Mess (housematey said this song is about me - WHATS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN??)
7. The Walkmen - We’ve Been Had
8. Death Cab For Cutie - Passenger Seat
9. Athlete - Yesterday Threw Everything at Me
10. Plushgun - Just Impolite
11. The Weepies - World Spins Madly On
12. The Turtles - So Happy Together
13. The Ting Tings - That’s Not My Name (which housematey and I think is about prostitution)
14. Katy Perry - Ur So Gay
15. The Feeling - I Love it When You Call, ahh and…
16. The Moffats - Missery *GRIN*

some songs are new (as in they were released just this year), some are old, most are waaaay old.. but like a baby, I get attached to things ^^ just like my case of Madonna’s Like a Prayer *blinks innocently*

I’m sleepy… gutten nacht!

I have moved to another place. Now living alone. Still in Bandung. No, will not tell people where I live. For those who already knew, I will not tell which floor and room. No, I wont go out for movies or dinner. YES, STILL WORKING ON THESIS. Reason I moved out: need to be anti-social for a while so that I could finish my thesis before THE DEADLINE. so help me god. motivate me friends.

xoxo.

PS. to Atri: Thank you muchly, I had a blast! ^^ had tons of fun and good laughs. My future wrinkles will show you how fun it was spending my early 20s with you. Enough with the mushiness,, now you can missplace anything as you please without having me bitch about it, YAY! haha… You may also leave your wet towel on the bed or even wear your jeans to bed! Just make sure you wear some clothes when running around downstairs passing that gigantic window, because I wont be there to wake up in the middle of the night to check the doors. over and over again, while you laughing from inside the bedcovers YOU MEANIE.

be good, you!

PPS. If Kisrun Tegal (a.k.a Hamish Blake) ever comes back, tell her I didn’t say bye. And NO TRI, I DON’T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH HER DISAPPEARING! *stares meaningfully* Remember to tell Adin and Nina about me HAVING NOTHING to do with it.

am gonna miss ya loads! *punch kick and grope*

On the month my boyfriend got his very first hello, the bali bombers got their final astalavista.  (how can I not heart my boyfriend? lol). Yes, today, November 9th 2008, is the day when the bali bombers are finally executed. the phrase ‘finally’ doesn’t mean I was hoping they got executed. (Because I’d vote for torture than shot-to-death because it surely will teach em a lesson. I mean, a bullet to the heart ends it quick and less painful and the dead don’t think. We should give them time to feel miserable, regret, and all sorts of unpleasant feelings. Because they need that. they need to know that what they did was THAT wrong that they deserve such punishment. And the public needs to see that that is exactly what will happen to you if you kill people. you don’t get away with it easily. you don’t get away with it quickly. And truth be told, I prefer letting them die in suffer because killing them is just like saying that taking a life is ok).

I used ‘finally’ because finally the government decided to actually do something about those no-brainers. yes, they HAVE NO BRAIN. because if they do, they’d know better than to kill people for a ticket to heaven. WTF right? Who the hell gave them that idea anyways? If karma does exist, I hope it will hit him/her really hard.

And the media oh the media makes me want to puke and make them eat it! The media is actually giving clueless individuals the idea to commit such act of terrorism, because it will make you famous! And on the day you die, people you don’t even know will be there for you! So no more worrying no body is going to your funeral because the whole world will be there! If not in presence, then they’d stay tune in front of their television for up dates about your funeral. And there was this one stupay reporter that actually read one of the bali bombers’ deed LIVE on national TV! There were sentences about how they are not sorry and are actually proud that they die a soldier or whatever correct me if I heard it wrong because I was busy vomiting.

WTF right? The media is actually making them look so special that their deeds are being read on national TV. They are giving the bali bombers what they want; the world to hear their last words. the media is actually helping them speak up their fucked up minds! and I should really stop talking about them because they mean nothing to me. ass wipes.

.

I’m not sure if I can be friends anymore with my 10 years of bestfriend, Egan. A few days ago, I had just knew that he has never, in his 4 years and 3 months in Bandung, and I repeat in capslock for a more dramatic expression - NEVER tasted the devil’s curls in PAK MOES. For those who knows what Pak Moes is; No, I’m not kidding. For those who have no idea what PAK MOES is; you are so uncool.

Pak Moes is a warong (so if Sarung is Sarong, then Warung is Warong, right? *GRIN*). Pak Moes is THE place to have orgasmic noodles Indonesians refer as INTERNET which stands for INdomie TElor koRNET (noodles, eggs, and cornet beef. sometimes most times added with a mesmerizing amount of cheese). And some (strongly) believes that roti bakar keju susu Pak Moes lebih MHANTAB dari yang disajikan di MADTARI, The Legend. One bowl of INTERNET is IDR 7000 and they give mineral water for free because THEY ARE THAT AWESOME HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW THAT KEVIN BELLAMY EGAN THE VERY GOOD FRIEND IN ME IS CONCERNED.

So one morning, my dear friend was having the hots for noodles. (That sentence sounded really weird having to know what male usually have the hots for in the mornings). So I suggested breakfast at Pak Moes which got a weak “ok” from him (I usually get a very perky respond from my housemate everytime I say the word MOES), then was followed by a “where’s Pak Moes?” that made me go ARE YOU SHITTING ME. Pak Moes is like less than 500 meter from our campus, which means it’s only about 1 km from his place and LESS THAN 5 METERS FROM WHERE HE USED TO EAT NASI PADANG (KAPAU).

A very wise warrior, KUNG FU PANDA, once said “there is no charge for awesomeness”. Well I’ll tell you this, in PAK MOES, they do charge awesomeness. Less than a dollar it is. But you get to experience a tongue orgasm like no other *nods wisely*

Egan was an internet virgin. Now he’s one of the cool people.
