About Writing

I haven't been writing for quite some time. It is not cause I don't have anything to share. It's just something that I really want to work on. See, writing is actually fun. I like writing as much as I like salt in my food. It determines the "taste". I have some stories related to work, friendship and even movie reviews that I would like to share with people. I start wondering why. Why am I so NOT productive? I used to write a lot back in the school year. Spent the time thinking of nothing but plots. I even wrote a short story during Anthropology class with my partner in crime... LOL

Things change. I DO change. I know that, but somehow, it's the writer in me that really wants to exist. Ah well, what I'm writing here is a piece of crap. So, see you when I'm in a better mood, hahahaha

Things Can Turn Out Just Fine

Hiya bloggers! Wonder why i'm soooo not reluctant to post? Well, it's because of the free internet and computer here in the backpacker hotel, or should i just say hostel? Anyway, remember how i ended up here? Wait, ended up, that doesn't sound great, does it? 
Okay, lemme refresh your memory (hey, you didn't read my previous posts??? Get out of here and read them! Then you can continue reading this one >:( ) about how i felt before starting this so-called life adventure. I already thought that i wouldn't enjoy it. Then about the bumpy ride, and before that, the delay. Well, As my updates on social networks 'said', i 'told' everybody that i met 2 new friends.
I didn't expect that to happen because i just think that i should enjoy my time here ALONE. I mean, i'm a people person, but sometimes i enjoy being in 'solitary life'. Hehehehe
My new friends are Mika, from Japan, and Jelena, from Serbia. We share the same room. We didn't have the chance to meet because the night i arrived, they were not around, so they didn't know my existence til the next morning.
Now, i really wish i had my netbook with me so i can tell you the story with some pictures to see. Ah, i'll do it later, then. 
Anyway, these two girls have their own stories. Mika was going to live here and work, but she decided to go back to Japan to be close to her family. She has this HUGE suitcase and some stuff she bought. I wonder how she can manage to put all the stuff back, or how she carries them later. See, she's such a small and cute gal, you know, Japanese cute and small gal like those in a comic book! Mika, if you read this, i mean well, okay... Don't be mad...
Then, there's Jelena. Her name reminds me of those BELIEBERS that call Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez a cute couple! Um, Jelena if you read this, please forgive me, i'm just, you know, a funny person that can't live without thinking what i think is funny. (Ok, now you're lost! LOL) She's going to KL because her friends are already there, but she's waiting for her visa. She didn't know that the office was closed last time, as this is holiday season. But, anyway, she said that i was the only person in this building to say that "I like KL!" I was like, WHAT?! I mean, no offence Malaysians (in case you read this), though your country (or your government, or your people) sometimes gets on my nerve, but i do like KL! Then when Jelena asked me why i like KL, then the answer was just as easy as saying, "BECAUSE THEY SELL THE CHEAPER CHOCOLATEs THAN THE ONEs IN MY COUNTRY!" Um, i didn't shout when i said this, really...
Well, things can turn out just fine even when you think they won't. Because until today, i don't know what's coming to me. Yesterday, i had fun with my new-found friends. We walked a lot. Going round the Arab Street and trying to get Arabian taste of food and ending up having some Indian food! That was weird, but um, who cares? Just enjoy it! 
Actually there are many things i'd like to share here. But lemme save them for later. Because this is not about the trip yet. This is more like a 'reflection', hehehehe... Sometimes i need to have a self-reflection of what i think of things. 
Okay, gotta go now. I'm kinda tired typing this. And you're kinda bored reading this, no?


Catch you later

First Time? Well, Ain't That BAD?

Hiya bloggers,
Here i am writing this blog in another country! LOL! Well, lemme tell ya how difficult it is to open my blog from here...
Or, should i start from the beginning?


Here goes,
Remember my story about how upset i was in my previous post? Don't remember? Ah, that's too bad...
Okay, so here how i ended up here...
I arrived at the terminal 3 of Soetta International Airport at about 2 pm yesterday. I checked in, paid the tax and booked the baggage for the flight back. It was also my first time in terminal 3, so i looked like i was stupid, or was i? I was "entertained" by this "smoking kills" room! Ahahahaha, for you who have been so many times to terminal 3 can laugh your ass off!!!
Then, the flight was delayed! Dang! I was like, WHAT?! I'm gonna arrive later then, which means, NIGHT FLIGHT?! Never been on a night flight before. And... i was freaked aout by the idea. Um, not to mention, i didn't get the "look-out-to-the-window" seat which again, scare the hell out of me! So, i was praying, "Oh dear God, please help me..."
Okay, the flight? Um, it was... bumpy BABY! Yeah, great, ain't it? Hey, i'm not being sarcastic here!!!
Long story short, i landed safely in Singapore. Hehehe, haven't mentioned it yet, no?
The cabin leader was a male (i think senior) flight attendant. He was so funny. When he announced to the passengers to have their gadget switched off, his exact words were: "Please switch off your electronic devices such as mobile phones, mp3 players, blackberry, iPhone, iPad, iPod, and other 'i', thank you." The whole cabin laughed. 


Then, as soon as i landed, i passed the immigration, then got into a cab. The driver was nice. He "helped" me got into this backpacker hotel: The Little Red Dot by calling the place. See, it is forbidden to make a phone call while driving. Wonder why he called? Well, it was because Lavender Street, the location of this backpacker hotel, is a loooonnnggg street and he never heard of the name. Yeah, it's because the hotel is new! Then, i realized that my phone didn't work. Stupid! Stupid provider! Back home, i registered the blackberry roaming, but... dang! It didn't work. IT ISN'T working as we speak... (Um, who's speaking?) I might buy a local number later...


Then, i am so LUCKY that i got this computer to post this. See, the internet access is free! Free computers and wifi! I don't have my netbook with me, but still, i can use this free facility! Even so, i found difficulties getting into my accounts! I had to answers some questions first since the Web God knows that i'm accessing them from a different country. 
Okay, actually i don't know what my agenda is... Anyway, i have longer time here, so i just wanna be Lou the Explorer!!! 


Okay, thanks for reading this crappy thing... You just wasted some of your time. May God forgive you! LOL

Holiday! Travel and Plans, Oh Well

Hiya bloggers! We can say that this is my second post this month :) Well, it IS my second post... Okay, let's cut the crap and go on with our journey.

This Christmas holiday, i kinda hope to jump on an adventure with my close friend, Iceh, or shall we call her Icha in real world! (Um, that depends on what kind of world you're living in...)
We planned the trip (or shall we call it our have-fun-go-mad time) since a few months ago. Yea, it's only traveling to Singapore, and nowadays, people say, "Who hasn't been there? Everybody has. So what's the big deal of going there?" It's not the destination that matters, it's more to the timing and the guy next to you... or girl, hehehehe
I was so brokenhearted knowing that Icha cannot join me in this so-called holiday.
Not because she is my best friend or what, um... that too probably..., but it because of my ruined plans and sudden-dropped expectations. I was sorta hoping that i'll have the book hunting as we both are geeky bookworms, and have the exploration together. (Maybe i should ask Dora to join me)
As the tickets were economy promo, they're non-refundable. Though Icha said that she was okay with that, there's a part of me that feels slightly guilty. Last time, well, this April actually, we were supposed to go to Singapore. But, another but here, it was "doomed" because the friggin' airlines went collapsed and we, until now, haven't got our money back. DUH! 
There are so many plans of mine that just go poof!!! I do feel "guilty and bad" and sad as well...
I hope i can go on my trip safely and of course i wish there will be some more trips with my close friends!


PS: I'm leaving on the 27th, in case you're wondering... LOL

Prejudice, Stereotype and Suudzon

Hiya, bloggers, long time no post, eh?


I have been lazy to do it, so i guess i can just sit back and enjoy my not-so-famous life :) 


Okay, judging by the title you would probably wonder why i'm posting this, or not... LOL


Well, it started simply. I don't know why i don't like anything connected to Korea. Yup! While some gals are crazy about K-Pop, K-drama, and those what they call cute actors, well for me they're just a bunch of stuff i could slightly care about. I don't even like Korean food, in this case, kimchi. Well, you know (you probably don't know) that i LOVE food, as much as Joey Tribbiani does. Hahahaha


And here how my story started...


Oh-kay... as i might have mentioned earlier in the previous posts, i work as a freelance EFL instructor. And recently, as in November, i joined an institution where i work as a private tutor. 
I found out that i had a Korean student. He's an adult, expecting a conversation class. When i knew that my student is a Korean, i said, "Um, i'm not so excited about this. I mean, i don't like Koreans." Then my supervisor asked, "Why? What's wrong?" I just shrugged, matter-of-factly, "Nothing's wrong with them. I don't even know why i don't like them."
As i was saying this, i thought about anything connected to Korea. Umm, only one thing i like, that is SAMSUNG! Anw, d'you know how to pronounce it correctly? Ahahaha, we'll get to that later, kay?


And so i hoped, i wouldn't get on the wrong foot. I had this stereotype of Koreans, that they are so not flexible. They work so hard, they are so stingy about money, they are soooo disciplined and will not tolerate anything in the name of efficiency. You know, those kinds of "labels". 
Honestly, they kinda clouded my judgement, so i had this prejudice. I was so negative about this not-yet-known student. I mean, i cannot help myself being so suudzon, can I?
But then, when i was "enlightened", i was relieved to know that being negative really does make you feel bad when you know the reality.


I thought that this guy, this Korean guy would be annoying. I wouldn't enjoy the sessions and bla bla bla! Well, it turned out that he really is a nice guy. His name is Choi M_n S___k. I bet you will find so many Chois out there in Korea. Hahahahaha... It really is hard to pronounce his name. I mean, CHOI is not CHOI. It sounds like Che (as in Che Guevara) but you say it with your mouth forming an O sound. Go ahead, try it. He just graduated from university double major in Marine Biology (OMG! I would kill to study that!!!) and Logistics. He stays here for only 4 to 5 months because he misses his family back in Korea. He can speak English quite well, though sometimes his pronunciation is sooo confusing! X_x
You know, i don't know if all Koreans are like this, or is it just him, but he cannot pronounce L and/or R, F, V, P and sometimes i wonder whether he just gets mixed up or something else. 


Choi told me many stories about Korea. Including the relationships with North Korea and Japan. I pretty much got the idea that Korea was in a bad condition before the independence. Even after the independence, there was a war. Korean War of course. He said that the soldiers from Indonesia came to help. And i told him that was because at that time, Indonesia had a very solid and tough military. 
Talking about military, he said that all men in Korea must serve for 2 years as they hit 21. Well, 21 in Korea is 19 in Indonesia, as they count the pregnancy as 1 year, then 3 months after the baby born, it is counted as another year. So, Choi is 27 in Korea and 25 in Indonesia. Well probably in "International Age". (Is there such thing?)
Choi told me that the first thing the Army "teach" is: The first enemy is North Korea. So all men need to be prepared for the war. He said that North Korean Army must serve the country for 10 years when they hit 19, which means 17 here...
And about SAMSUNG, Koreans pronounce it SAM and SUNG here is a bit complicated. It's like saying SUNG with your mouth forming SONG. Hehehehe...


All i'm saying here is, being negative really blocks your mind. You probably have less interest in something that may be really interesting. Come on, people, there could be a lesson from everything you do. I really am sorry for being so judgemental about this Korean thingy. Anw, that's it and that's all.


PS: He doesn't look like those Korean actors, okay...

Cuap-cuap: Obrolan Tentang Pria

Begitu baca judulnya, mungkin yang terlintas di benak kalian adalah curhatan gw tentang pria idaman gw. Atau tentang sang gebetan, si doi, atau siapa pun yang kalian sangka akan gw bahas. Sebenernya, ini cuma rangkuman dari obrolan antara gw, dua orang teman wanita yang sudah menikah, dan seorang teman lelaki yang sudah menikah. Lantas, apakah dengan membaca tulisan gw, kalian yang belum ahli mengenai urusan PRIA akan menjadi ahli? Atau mungkin kalian yang sudah ahli dan paham mengenai LELAKI akan menertawakan gw? Yah, apapun reaksi kalian nanti, ini adalah sepenggal cuap-cuap tak berazas apapun mengenai COWOK yang terjadi Kamis, 6 Oktober 2011 lalu.


Oh ya, maaf juga nih, kalau ada yang tersinggung. Itu sih situ aje yang sensitippp!!!! 


Kamis menjelang siang, kami yang sudah selesai dengan tugas menunggu waktu makan siang. Nggak tau gimana, di ruang itu adalah gw, Inang (salah satu tetua), Eva, dan Pak Fajar (tetua juga, hehehehehe). Obrolan kami juga nggak jelas mulainya dari mana. Tapi yang jelas, tiba-tiba mengarah ke perbedaan lelaki dan perempuan. Mulailah si Inang yang memberi gw petuah.


Inang: Entar kalo lo merid, jangan lupa kalo beli rumah atau apapun atas nama lo.
Gw: Kenapa gitu, Nang?
Eva: Eh iya tau, gw aja gitu. (lalu mulailah perbincangan itu...)
Inang: Ini rahasia para wanita ya. Eh ada si Fajar! (padahal emang dari tadi dia ngejogrok di situ)
Fajar: Udah nggak pa-pa, terusin. Kalian ini emang ya para wanita, licik. Kami para pria selalu lurus!
Inang & Eva: Ya iya lahhhh lurus, kalo nggak lurus nggak enak lah (kode! kode! kode!) >>>> kalo nggak ngerti, tanya ama yang ngerti yah, males gw jelasinnya.
Fajar: Bukan lurus itu yang saya maksud....
Gw: Terus lurus apa? (sementara Inang dan Eva masih cekakak cekikik)
Fajar: Pria itu selalu punya tujuan. Dan untuk mencapai tujuan itu, dia nggak akan ngeliat apapun. Dia fokus pada tujuannya. (tangannya kayak petugas kabin lagi nujukin pintu darurat)
Gw, Inang dan Eva bengong dan nunggu penjelasan selanjutnya
Fajar: Jadi, pria itu kalau sudah menikah, dia akan berusaha semampunya untuk mencari uang demi kebahagiaan istri dan anaknya. Nah, kalo tujuannya udah tercapai, dalam arti dia sudah mapan, barulah dia mencari tujuan lain. Misalnya poligami...


(Bentar ya, jangan marah duluuuu... ini belum selesai)


Gw: Maksudnya?
Fajar: Maksudnya, karena ukuran sukses dan berhasilnya seorang pria kan dari hartanya. Bisa nggak dia ngasih istri dan anaknya apa yg diperlukan. Begitu itu udah terpenuhi, rasanya dia ingin "membahagiakan" orang lain.
Inang: Ya, rata-rata emang begitu sih...
Fajar: Nggak semua pria kayak gitu, tapi biasanya, it's about power. Berarti kalo dia bisa "berhasil" untuk kedua kalinya, atau ketiga, itu berarti pria itu powerful. Dan di mata sesama pria, dia juga ada di posisi atas, "Wah hebat" kayak gitu. 
Gw: Tapi kenapa juga dia harus ngerasa mau "membahagiakan" orang lain. Tau dari mana istri pertama dan anak-anaknya bahagia kalo dia mau "berbagi"?
Fajar: Nah, itu kan karena pilihan. Kalo emang si istri pertama nggak mau dan udah nggak bahagia, ya udah.
Gw: (memicingkan mata)
Fajar: Nah, pria yang pikirannya beres, biasanya nggak bakal mempersoalkan rumah, mobil atau apapun itu atas nama siapa. Karena kalo seumpama hal kayak gitu terjadi, cerai dan sebagainya, dia nggak peduli. Mau itu rumah diambil. Terserah. Kami nggak ngumpulin barang, itu biasanya cewek.
Gw: Kalo cowok yang ngatur, misalnya rumah nama lo tapi mobil nama gw, itu gimana? 
Fajar: Ah itu mah banci. Kan aturannya udah jelas. Nyari duit buat istri dan anak. 
Gw: Terus kalo udah kagak kaya, eh maen perempuan. Pake poligami, padahal nggak bisa ngasih makan...
Fajar: Itu lebih parah, mau enaknya aja. Kan tujuan utamanya harus tercapai dulu baru bisa liat sana-sini...
Gw: Jadi intinya, kalo pria mapan, "wajar" ya kepikiran mau poligami?
Fajar: Iya. Harus mapan dulu. Tapi bukan berarti setiap pria mapan pingin poligami ya...
Eva: That's what MEN are like. Tapi nggak semua kan ya, pak???
fajar: Iyaaaa... tenang aja...


Gw memang nggak tau apa-apa tentang pernikahan dan sebagainya. Punya teman yang udah pada merid pun nggak jaminan gw punya "bekal" yang cukup buat menghadapinya nanti. Cuma, gw sangat menghargai pendapat. Setidaknya gw bisa tau dari sisi lain. Soal "alasan kenapa pria 'memilih' poligami" mungkin bukan seratus persen akurat, meskipun teman gw menyatakan pendapatnya yang mewakili para pria di luar sana. Logikanya, mana ada wanita yang rela dipoligami, kalau pun ada itu pasti setelah berpikir, bukan "bercita-cita" mengharap hal itu akan terjadi. Lalu soal pria yang memang ingin poligami, bisa jadi alasan pertamanya karena nafsu, tapi sekali lagi, nggak ada yang pernah tau.


Gw dan beberapa teman gw, baik cowok maupun cewek, pernah saling debat. Kaum cewek enyatakan: semua cowok ujung-ujungnya pasti poligami. Ceweknya yang harus "pintar-pintar" menjauhkan hal itu dari cowok. Teman-teman cowok gw bilang: eh sori ya, kami nggak kayak gitu (ada yang sudah nikah dan masih singel) itu sih oknum aja...


Lalu, kalo gw rangkai semuanya, bisa jadi, beberapa temen cowok gw belum matang secara usia, dan belum "mapan". Jadi mungkin kepikiran soal poligami ya... nggak lah! Dan, gw rasa yang namanya hormon cowok, testosteron itu pasti seneng sama kompetisi dan kemenangan. Itu alamiah banget! Mungkin di dalam jiwa para lelaki pasti ada lah saat-saat mereka merasa ingin bisa membahagiakan wanitanya. Dan dengan demikian, mereka merasa "menang" dan "hebat". Makanya, mungkin juga beberapa pria nggak mau wanitanya "lebih", hehehehehe...


Yasud, ini cuma pendapat, nggak penting sih... nggak usah didebatin, nggak masuk tipi juga...

Tinjauan Seorang Amatir: Film Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows Bagian ke-2

The Elder Wand

Bukan cerita baru kalau saya memang tidak terlalu menyukai film-film Harry Potter. Bukan kenapa-napa, hanya saja, menurut saya yang sangat menyukai novel karangan Madam Rowling ini, sulit sekali membuat film berimajinasi tinggi. Yah, berhubung saya cuma seorang penonton, lebih tepatnya penonton yang sulit dipuaskan... (oowwhh!), saya cuma bisa bercuap-cuap di blog memberi "kritikan" mengenai film terakhir dari kisah Harry Potter. 


Sebelumnya, kita bisa kembali ke tinjauan film bagian pertama dari HP & the Deathly Hallows. Pada tinjauan pertama, yang saya tulis dalam bahasa Inggris (kebanyakan), saya bisa memberikan nilai E! Hei, bukan E seperti kalian para muggle bayangkan! Tapi E dalam standar O.W.L! Yep, Exceed Expectation! Kenapa demikian? Baca saja postingan saya... hehehehe... Intinya, film itu setidaknya membuat saya sedikit memuji. 


Seperti yang kalian para muggle tahu, bahwa di negara kita, pernah terjadi "isu meresahkan" mengenai film Hollywood. Saya sempat berniat pergi ke negeri singa demi menonton film ini. Untungnya saya tidak punya uang, jadi saya batalkan! Kalau tidak, saya nggak bakal menontonnya di negeri ini! #inipentingkarena
Lalu, saat "semuanya baik-baik saja" saya mendapat tawaran untuk menonton film ini dari teman saya, Mbak Lucky, yang memang seorang baik hati yang rela meluangkan waktunya untuk memesankan tiket. Saya dan teman saya Icha, yang juga gemar menulis tinjauan film, tentunya sangat senang mendengar hal ini. Adiknya teman saya, sebut saja namanya Dilla, karena memang itu namanya, pun ingin menonton. Jadilah saya memesan 3 tiket pada Mbak Lucky nan baik hati. 


Hari yang dinanti tiba, kami pun tiba di tempat pemutaran film. Meski ada beberapa kejadian yang sebenarnya ingin saya ceritakan, saya putuskan untuk menyimpannya saja. Kami masuk ke studio blitzmegaplex dan menikmati trailer film-film yang akan datang. Daaannnn... mulailah film tersebut. Awalnya, saya sempat terkejut melihat makam Dobby. Kenapa? Di film bagian pertama, tidak ada tulisan "Here lies Dobby, a free elf" dan saya kesal bukan main sampai-sampai saya tulis di postingan tinjauan film saya. Entah karena David Yates membaca postingan saya #sumpelogeeramat atau memang karena beberapa kru sadar ada yang kurang pada properti mereka #inilebihmasukakal, sehingga tulisan itu terpatri di makam Dobby...

Kreacher: Peri rumah yang tertukar...
Duh...........

Sayang beribu sayang, adegan yang saya harapkan di film ini adalah "Battle of Hogwarts" yang saya asumsikan akan sangat keren! Yah, lagi-lagi David Yates gagal, untuk ukuran saya. Sama gagalnya ketika dia membuat "kekacauan" di Hogwarts saat Fred dan George meninggalkan sekolah di HP #5. Saya pikir adegan pertempuran itu akan sama menegangkan dan membuat bulu kuduk merinding seperti saat menonton the Lord of the Rings: the Return of the King! 
Saya teringat bagian di buku ketika Kreacher si peri rumah memimpin pasukan peri rumah sambil berseru: "Fight, fight for my master, the defender of the house-elves! Fight the Dark Lord, in the name of brave Regulus! Fight!" (saya belum baca terjemahan Indonesianya, jadi saya tulis bahasa Inggrisnya) Waktu baca bukunya, rasanya saya bisa merasakan semangat Kreacher yang langsung saya visualisasikan, seperti dalam film TLOTR. Memang bukan hal mudah untuk membuat novel ke dalam gambar, tapi menurut saya, Yates melakukan kesalahan fatal. Esensi pertempuran Hogwarts hilang, setidaknya bagi saya. 

Gandalf

Bicara tentang TLOTR, saat Harry "bertemu" dengan Dumbledore sesaat setelah Voldemort "membunuh" Harry, saya juga jadi teringat pada Gandalf. Kenapa? Mungkin karena mereka sama-sama terlihat bijak dan berpengalaman... Nggak tahu kenapa, saat saya melihat Dumbledore, Gandalf-lah yang ada di benak saya.


Oh ya, ada satu hal lagi yang "mengganggu" saya. Saat Harry, Hermione dan Ron menjatuhkan diri dari naga yang terbang, mereka tercebur ke danau (atau sungai) di mana mereka akhirnya menepi. Nah, di situ, Harry menyebut Voldemort sebagai "You-Know-Who", padahal Harry tidak pernah menyebut Voldemort demikian, apalagi di depan kedua sahabatnya.

Karakter rahasia Madam Rowling

Saya juga heran, kenapa perasaan saya tidak teraduk-aduk sedemikian hebatnya ketika Harry mengetahui kebenaran tentang Snape? Ketika saya baca bukunya, rasanya saya sampai tidak tahu harus bereaksi apa. Benar-banar hebat karya Madam Rowling ini! 

Albus Severus Potter

Tidak semua tentang film ini jelek. Saya bisa dibilang cukup senang dengan aktor-aktor yang memerankan Lily kecil, Snape kecil dan Albus Severus Potter. Albus Severus terlihat bingung dan khawatir sehingga cukup meyakinkan bahwa mungkin dia mengalami krisis percaya diri. Yah, seperti yang kalian para muggle tahu (atau tidak) bahwa Albus Severus atau bahkan banyak penyihir yang menganggap bahwa Slytherin adalah asrama yang buruk. Eh, jadi apa bagusnya ya film ini? Sebaiknya memang kalian menyaksikannya sendiri...


Saya beri nilai A untuk film ini. A! Acceptable! Untuk setidaknya berusaha semaksimal mungkin menuangkan tinta Madam Rowling ke dalam gulungan film.  


Harry Potter, kisahmu akan dirindukan...






Tinjauan ini dibuat oleh seorang amatir yang nyinyir dan suka nyengir, kalo nggak suka silakan minggir dan menyingkir! Kalau suka, kapan-kapan boleh mampir!!!

Weird Me: Another Hearttalk

How do you handle yourself? I mean, really, I wonder if there is any way to handle your own self?! 

Last week, exactly on a Saturday night, I was kinda sad. Not kinda, I really was sad. I missed someone dear to me. Don't start asking me who the person is, (who's asking anyway, duh!), the "sad" atmosphere seemed to follow my following "unfortunate" week. (Didn't I just sound a lil dramatic?!) 

Still on a Saturday night last week, after trying so hard to cry, I wrote some mellow status on social networks. Stupid, yeah, whatever... Then just before midnight, some guy on my BBM contact changed his status. It was umm... not very important until my friend JJ wrote about it on Twitter. As our "connection" of wicked withces usually runs, some of the wicked withces had a conference and we laughed like there's no tomorrow. So then, i woke up "happily" the next morning. Hahahaha... Am I bipolar or what?!

The next day, Sunday of course, I didn't  feel too sad nor did I feel happy. It was a regular Sunday, except for the missing house chores. I was too lazy to do them. LOL! Then, Monday came, and I started my Monday by waking up late! Duh! It was also the day of the first term in ILP, so I was beat. Coming home tired yet couldn't sleep well. Then, the next morning, I was "forced" to climb on my fence because of the stupid padlock!! Nice, eh? This is my house without fence... If only I lived in a very safe neighbourhood, i wouldn't have put a fence, not that I live in a dangerous neighbourhood, though!

Trying to forget the unbelievably stupid day (imagining myself to climb for the second and God forbid 100th time), I went over a friend's house. And there I met and fell in love with a lil guy!!! 

This is Submarine "Sasab" Jones when he was lil

It's a young lil fella called a cat! He looks like my late cat, Submarine "Sasab" Jones! Orange-yellowish fur, long tail, awww I fell in love that very fateful second! My friends said it's a nobody's cat which has become a regular visitor to their house. I asked them if I could adopt him (and name him Hideaki Takizawa...WTF?!) They were okay, in fact, they asked me to get a box and bring him home. But, I think it won't be fair for the cat to travel in such a way. So I texted my friend Eva if I could borrow her pet cargo. She promised to bring it the next day, she did, anyway. 

But, here comes another "sad" part...

Once I got home from the office, I sent a BBM to one of my friends telling that I'm ready to pick the cat. You know what, she said that the cat was not there anymore because someone already "sent" him away. Feeling devastated and brokenhearted, I wept like a baby. I was so sad i could not think of anything. I know now what it feels like when you think you almost had it, but you were never even close... I was sad till the next days, Thursday and Friday.

But lucky me, I have some wonderful friends who were just in time to "cure" my sadness. When I wrote a status in my BBM, a friend who claims not-feel-disgusted-of-anything-you-do-because-i-know-you-too-long, said that "Sometimes, I feel happy to know that you are sad. Because I don't know why you're always happy. It's okay to be sad." That was what she said after... a long "lost" friend who was "lost" (LOL!) cheered me up. He did nothing actually, but what he said was really a good punch line!

Here is what we talked about via BBM

Me: *mellow* *attentionaddictedwhoretalking* *puppyeyes* 

Him: *beingnice* *raisingeyebrows* *confused* *lost*

Me: So, *abitchneedstogetalife* See???

Him: OMG! Girls are weird! Thank God I'm gay!!!

Me: *burstintotearsfromlaughing* *ROTFLYSSTACSISN*<<<Don't ask

Hideaki Takizawa

And today, this blissful Saturday morning, I got surprisingly amazing news... My friend said that the cat came back. She promised to keep him. Hopefully, he'll still be there till Tuesday bacause I can pick him up on that day.

Well, hope has become scary to me. I'm afraid that hope will disappoint me. So, i just "hope" that it won't. And anyway, I won't name him Hideaki Takizawa. Maybe it jinxed him, or maybe he knows that I would name him after a Japanese actor so he "went away". LOL!

Okay, wicked witch is out,

Aku dan Justin Bieber

Hi-ya bloggers! Long time no see, eh???
Well, been busy, ummm lazy... yea!


So what's up? And WHAT the...... WHAT'S GOT INTO YOU? Probably you wanna ask why i wrote this blog with Aku dan Justin Bieber as the title... Ok, i want you to sit back and relax, fasten your seatbelts for it's gonna be a bumpy ride. Hahahahaha not funny. Duh... -_-'


Justin Bieber... siapa yang nggak kenal bocah asal Kanada ini? Heh! Jangan dijawab, ini pertanyaan retoris... Gw mulai cerita aja ya... 


Kisah bermula dari bulan Maret 2009, hihihihi thanks to my so-called photographic memory. Kadang-kadang gw suka inget hal-hal nggak penting gini... Waktu itu kira-kira beberapa bulan setelah "rajin" berkecimpung di dunia facebook, gw jadi makin rajin dan akrab ama internet... yah semacam jadi manusia yang beradab. Bujug! Dulu gw kagak beradab yak! Meski pada saat itu gw udah punya akun twitter, tetep aja nggak gw maenin. Lah, orang dulu gw bete banget ama jejaring sosial satu ini... Youtube juga lagi booming banget. Dan di situlah gw "kenal" ama bocah bertajuk (pertunjukan kaleee) Justin Bieber ini.
Nah ini fotonya Justin Bieber pas masih muda (niat banget gak sih gw nyarinya demi nulis blog ini???)
Setidaknya di sini dia nggak terlihat tengil dan bikin gw pengen #spank #spank (sounds kinky yeee)
Waktu itu, gw liat videonya di youtube. As you know, many people talk about the new talent in music. Yang waktu itu bikin gw tertarik adalah Usher. Lah? Kok gitu? Soalnya selain Craig David, (aaarrggghh Craig! Marry me!!!) Usher adalah penyanyi R&B yang gw suka (don't marry me, please, hehehehe). Gw penasaran ama apa yang Usher liat dari bocah ini.
And so my journey to know Justin Bieber continues...
Ahem, waktu itu (masih tahun 2009 neh...) ada American Idol kan... AAARRGGGHHH ADAM LAMBERT!!! (astaga!!!)
Nah, karena nggak punya TV cable, jadilah gw tau semuanya dari intenet. Nonton pertunjukan juga dari youtube. Hiks :,-(
Namun demikian, that didn't stop me from spotting Adam Lambert. Hehehehe... 
Lalu muncullah kabar tentang orientasi seksual si penyanyi yang kadang agak lebay ini... (bisa objektif juga kok gw!)
Tapi itu tidak membuat gw lantas berpindah ke lain hati dari Bang Lambert. Iye kan, Bang? Ho-oh katanye...
Muncul kabar pula kalo si Justin entah apa kagum juga ama si abang atau gimana gitu... Pan ni anak gayanye tengil minta disentil geto, adalah paparazzi iseng. Papa-paparazzi... (maap bawaan penyanyi karaokean, susah menghentikannya!) Si paparazzi iseng nulis dan ngambil gambar JB ama AL lagi rangkulan gitu. Jadi dah si Bang Lambert dibilang pedofil lah, tukang ngupil lah #susahserius. Ada juga gw yang ngamuk. (Emang gw siapa???) Sialan ni bocah... bikin Bang Lambert dikata-katain. (Ini yang lebay kayaknya gw!)


Nah, pas gw mulai ngajar di sekolah ***, gw bertemulah dengan anak-anak pra abege yang udah abege banget gayanya. Bisa dibayangkan betapa cintanya mereka pada cowok berponi itu! (Untung nggak berpita! Wekekekek... #tawajelek). Gw sampe "melarang" mereka menggunakan frasa Justin Bieber atau JB. You know what they did? They changed it into Justin Gaga. "We're not talking about JB or Justin Bieber, Miss. We're talking about Justin Gaga..." they said with a smirk. Mampus gw! Daripada gw gila, gw diemin aja. Pikir gw, palingan bosen. Eh, yang ada mereka pengen perform pembukaan big project mereka dengan menari lagu Baby-nya si Justin ini. Gw, yang nggak tau lirik lagu ini ampe apal, meskipun kadang suka kebawa nyanyiin "Oh baby, baby, baby, my baby, baby, wo qu bu neng shi zi ni..." (Sindrom banci karaoke, mohon maklum!)
Terus cerita gw masih nyambung neh, hehehe...
Gw akhirnya bisa nerima keadaan yang ada. Bahwa Justin Bieber exists. Kalo boleh gw pake Chuck Norris joke, "Justin Bieber still lives today because Chuck Norris allows him to. Just like God allows Satan to live." Jadi, meskipun dunia gw dipenuhi oleh Beliebers dan Bieberblast, i still survive. Hahaha... Sampaiiiiii......
Suatu sore... di saat kita duduk di tepi pantai... (Tuhan, saya terlalu suka karaoke, jangan hentikan saya... hehehehe) Suatu sore, terjadilah obrolan antara gw dan nyokap gw yang membawa gen aneh ke dalam diri gw. Begini percakapannya...
Nyokap: Kak,Kakak tuh cakep loh.
Gw: (nyinyir) Halah paling Mama mau ngeledek... (Lima dari tiga pujian Emak gw selalu berakhir dengan ledekan!)
Nyokap: (serius) Ye... bener. Kayak penyanyi baru itu loh...
Gw: (idung mekar) Siapa? (nada suara agak dingin biar cool) (dalem ati gw ngebayangin dibandingin ama pasangan duetnya Anang, biar gitu kan lumayan dibandingin ama penyanyi yang menurut emak gw cakep!)
Nyokap: Itu loh, penyanyi yang kemaren ada di tipi. Siapa tuh yang lagunya "Beibeh, beibeh oh..."
Gw: (sibuk mencerna) (terdiam) (mikir) (muncullah sebuah wajah!!!)

Jengjrengggg!!!!!
Gw: Ma! Itu kan...
Nyokap: (nyengir penuh kemenangan) Anak laki... Iye... (masih nyengir)
Gw: Aaahhhh Mama jahat... (bayangin gw mukul bahu nyokap gw dengan gaya cewek-cewek di kartun Jepang!) (itu tidak terjadi saudara-saudara!)
Yang ada gw lari... dengan sok dramatis mau nangis... 
Di depan cermin gw nyari kemiripan dengan JB itu apa??? 
Dulu temen gw pernah bilang suara gw yang gw rekan sambil karaokean mirip ama JB. 
Temen: Suara lo mirip Justin ya...
Gw: Berarti suara gw lumayan oke doooonnnggg
Temen: Nggak, kayak suara cowok puber...
Gw: (nimpuk)
Temen: AW! (kena! Horeeee!!!)

Cewek imut di sebelah kanan adalah gw waktu masih muda... (hikssss...) dan gw menghabiskan banyak waktu mencari persamaan gw dan JB ampe bego... Lalu gw memutuskan mungkin nyokap gw, seperti biasa emang selalu iseng. Jangan nyalahin kodrat ye Mak, kalo anak lo juga iseng banget...
Nyokap gw juga sering bilang betapa nggak lady-like nya gw. Doi juga sering bilang kalo gw sebenernya mungkin cowok kagak jadi. Deeuuu, emak gw... Satu-satunya emak yang rela aja ngatain anaknya. Tapi, biarlah itu menjadi hiburan bagi emak gw dan temen-temen gw yang udah puas ngetawain cerita sedih gw pas disamain ama JB. Setidaknya beberapa orang di luar sana merasa lebih beruntung... Wehehehehe.
Okay, that's a wrap! Thanks for reading and buybee, buybee, buybee, oohhhh

Sebuah Catatan Akhir Tahun 2010

Halo semua!! 
~~~Jumpa lagi...~~~ jumpa Maisy di sini!!! (Ketauan anak jadul...)


Kali ini gw pengen nulis dengan bahasa sehari-hari. Boleh dooonnggg... hehehehehe


Dari mana mulainya ya? Kayaknya harus dari awal... (aduh, logaringbangetseh #edisiababil)
Sesuai dengan judul, gw mau nulis tentang pandangan gw di tahun 2010. Jujur aja, tahun ini seperti tahun-tahun sebelumnya, selalu penuh dengan kejutan. Syukurlah, gw termasuk orang yang beruntung, kehidupan gw nggak ngebosenin, selalu seru dan asyik-asyik aja, yah kayak gw lah... (sorakin, timpukin!!!!)

Pada awal tahun, gw ahem-ahem pertama kalinya berhasil mewarnai rambut!!! *tepok tangan* Aje gile tu rambut nggak pernah berhasil gw warnain. Gw juga nggak ngerti apa masalahnya. Jangan-jangan gw nyakitin perasaan si rambut, jadi dia cuek abis ama gw, hadeeeehhh kelamaan basa-basinya. Awalnya, gw pengen banget rambut gw merah macemnya Allison Iraheta. So, ekspektasi gw adalah warnanya kayak gambar si Allison di sebelah ini donnnggg... Well, emang dasar kalo KW nggak bisa diboongin. Alhasil rambut gw merah cuy, untuk beberapa bulan. Itu juga berkali2 ngewarnain pake Sasha hehehehe... (kesiandelo...) Dan waktu si warna luntur, kira-kira gini dah warna rambut gw... sebelas dua belas ama geng ALAY. Btw, gambar-gambar gw pergunakan untuk sebesar-besar keinginan gw. Ada unsur lebay di sini, jangan dianggap serius yeeee...















Nah, berhubung warna rambut gw memudar, gw dengan ide-ide super kreatif gw, punya niatan ngewarnain rambut lagi. Maksudnya sih supaya less alay, tapi apa boleh buat, malah jadi tambah parah. Tau Belanda??? Oranye gitu kan??? Nah itulah rambut gw... hehehehe... Emak gw dengan puas ngatain gw Belanda-Bangka. Weeeehhh dasar emak gw, satu-satunya emak yang demen banget ngatain anaknya.

Berhubung gw gerah diledekin emak gw terus-terusan, akhirnya gw dengan berbesar hati bertekad kembali ke warna asli. Tapi karena nggak mau ngewarnain item, gw pake aja blue-black. Dan you know what, hasilnya jadi brunette lohhh... Hehehehehe. Oh ya, bagi yang merasa kesal kenapa dari tadi ngomongin rambut mulu, ya itu karena memang tahun 2010 merupakan tahun perubahan bagi gw ya... soal rambut itu. 






Terus, masih di awal tahun, gw ngerasain yang namanya keriting bulu mata. Silahkan tertawa bagi siapa pun yang tau kalo gw paling bete ke salon. Jujur aja, gw ngantuk bawaannya kalo ke salon. Lu gile gw disuruh duduk ngedeprok sementara nggak ada yang bisa gw kerjain, kayak dihukum rasanya bagi gw. Eh, eh, lanjutin dong ceritanya kenapa sampe keriting bulu mata segala??? (berasa diminta fans...) Waktu itu gw diminta jadi MC championship di UKI, berhubung gw nggak jago dandan dan ribeddddd banget urusannya buat siap-siap di pagi hari, Tia, temen eS-eM-A gw yang waktu itu gw pinjem "peralatan perang"-nya, nyaranin gw buat ke salon untuk keriting bulu mata. Idenya bagus, mengingat gw rempong kalo pake maskara, gw pun melakukan hai itu. Nah, kalo gw males ke salon buat potong rambut lantaran bete duduk serasa dihukum, lo bisa bayangin gw disuruh tiduran, mata dilem, lo "terpaksa" mencium bau-bauan kimia selama lebih dari satu jam. Belom lagi si mbak (yang berusaha mengerjakan tugas terbaiknya) narik-narik bulu mata lo. Untungnya refleks gw nggak gw aktifin, kalo nggak si Mbak pasti benjol. Hasilnya gimana? Bagus lahhh... hehehehe...


Kejutan selanjutnya adalah gw kudu ngajar tarat tarat tatah....... BAHASA INDONESIA!!!!

Ya ampun cuma Bahasa Indonesia emang kenapa???? Loh, kan bahasa Indonesia gw ajaib. Makanya kalo lo perhatian ama post-post gw (douuuhhh ge-er) post berbahasa Indonesia gw jaga banget kan.... (iya aja deh, dari pada benjol) Nah, meskipun bahasa Indonesia gw sebenernya nggak separah atau seancur itu, tetep aje susah cuy. Lo kudu ati-ati, soal ejaan, tata bahasa, de-el-el deh. Apalagi bahasa Indonesia gw terpengaruh ama bahasa lain. Cieeee ama bahasa Inggris??? Sombong banget... Bukan lah, sama bahasa Bekasi... setdeh... apa bae?!




Hal penting yang terjadi tahun ini adalah betapa twitter menjadi bagian hidup gw. Lha??? Penting!!!! Bwehehehehe, itu karena waktu pertama kali gw bikin twitter di bulan Pebruari 2009 (udah lama kan?!), gw sama sekali nggak ngerti harus ngapain. ada juga gw tereak-tereak doang. Hooooiii, ada orang si sini? Baik yang pake bahasa Indonesia atau pun yang bahasa Inggris. Kadang gw tulis betapa nggak asiknya si situs berlogo burung itu. Betapa ribetnya penggunaan twitter. kudu RT dulu, atau kalo reply nggak ada hubungannya ama yang dibahas. Lah, kalo orangnya lupa gimane, mpok? Dulu, temen gw, Mbak Indri, pernah nyapa lewat tweet. Tau nggak, kapan gw balesnya, yah, sekitar seminggu. Hehehehe... Trus gw juga menghina-dina jejaring sosial ini. Gilelujek, kagak ada tanda like-nya. Kan susah kayaknya mau berekspresi. (Deeeeuuuhh apabangetsih #edisiababil) Tapi, setelah tau, ada banyak hal yang nggak bisa gw "pajang" di facebook, twitter jadi tempat sampah pribadi gw. Maaf ya, followers kalian harus membaca sampah gw. Nah, untungnya twitter, karena updatenya cepat, kadang-kadang sampah gw yang nggak penting bisa aja kelewat, ga dibaca orang. Hehehehe, at least mereka sibuk liat timeline-nya selebriti. Hihihihihi... Dan salahsatu yang gw suka dari manfaat twitter adalah, kita bisa tau berita dunia secara up-to-date. Terutama yang males baca koran. Yah, gw lah contohnya.

Soal dunia internet, gw juga baru launching (jiiiaaahhh gaya!) blog isi sampah ini di tahun ini. Awalnya gw bingung, cara bikinnya, cara publikasiinnya. Trus gw juga bingung apa gw bakal aktif nge-blog. Apa isi blog gw bikin orang terinspirasi, atau malah naik darah. Atau malah kesian ama gw, sesat dan aneh. But, i just created it. Based on the rule: It's a blog, full of me. Semuanya tentang gw, pendapatnya gw, nggak penting. Dan gw seneng aja, udah ada 48 negara yang mengunjungi blog gw. Di antaranya pasti orang-orang nyasar, atau ada juga yang memang nyari blog bener. Eh, ada loh blog berjudul Lou's Circle lainnya. Hehehe, tapi beda link. Link gw sebenernya lou-in-circle, nah mungkin karena blog gw jampi-jampinya keren, ada aja yang masuk ke sini. Hihihihi... Kadang-kadang juga beberapa orang bertanya pada Mbah Gugel tentang orang-orang yang kebetulan fotonya gw pasang di blog ini. Jadi deh, mampir... bolekakabajunyaadaukurannya #edisiitc


Kisah terakhir dari post gw kali ini adalah perpisahan. Lho??? Maksudmu apa, Armando??? #edisitelenovela

Mulai tahun 2011 nanti (ya iyalah nanti, masa sekarang??) gw dan keluarga gw harus meninggalkan rumah di mana kami tinggal selama 21 tahun. Hiks hiks... 

Lo liat rumah di sebelah kanan foto?? Itu rumah sepupu gw. Kami akan tinggal sementara di sana. Emak gw udah nyuruh tukang untuk bangun semacam paviliun di sana. Rumah kami sudah laku dibeli orang. (Adoohh, tentunya dibeli orang... masa dibeli yang lain...) Rumah kami menyimpan banyak sekali kenangan yang kalo diceritain bisa ngalahin Cinta Fitri season 10. Nantinya emak gw bakalan (kayaknya) betah tinggal di paviliun rumah sepupu gw. Dan sepertinya tahun 2011, gw bakal tinggal di rumah baru (padahal belum diapa-apain) sendiri. Emak gw udah ngumumin kalo doi pengen "ngusir" gw. Katanya sih biar gw mandiri, gitu dehhh... Tapi emak gw emang nggak khawatir ya, anaknya yang imut ini digodain?! Huhhuuhhuuu~~~~~


Begitulah kira-kira kisah perjalanan gw di tahun 2010 ini. Makasih udah meluangkan waktu untuk baca. Periksa kembali barang bawaan anda. Sampai jumpa di lain kesempatan.


Salam 2011,




Lou

Famous 1984-borns: A Dedication, Reminder and um... Whatever!

The only reason why i'm writing this is because i didn't expect the unexpected.

And the reason why you continue reading this is because you don't give a **** about my reason.

Okay, the story goes like this...

I'm not much of a birthday person. Heck, the last thing i could care about is a birthday, um... my own birthday.

When i was younger, i had some birthday celebrations. You know, the parties with balloons and cakes, and gifts with food and handshakes. That kind. Well, honestly, i didn't like them, in fact i was wondering what my parents were thinking at that time. I mean, they had the parties for me when i was a kid. Then when i was in my teenage, they gave me money when i wanted to "celebrate" my birthday with my friends, as in eating out. Hey, what a lucky kid i was, eh?!

Years came by, i passed my teenage, "arrived" in my early twenties, then to my mid twenties. Yes, i'm in my mid twenties and i feel so old. Ok, some of you might shout, "If you're old, what do you call me (anyone older who happens to read this post)? Ancient?"

Well, the feeling is not because i am literally that old. It's just because i thought i could've done more, made more, had more than whatever i've done, made and had so far. And yes, it's not that i'm not grateful. It's a moment when i realized that i let myself down because of my own expectation. I mean, who am i racing with? I don't even know why i'm like this. So, i made up my mind. I'm gonna write something that makes me feel mmm... slightly better, at least.

When my birthday came this Friday, i tried to reply the text messages, i responded to all wall posts and private messages in facebook. Yes, some of the people are friends of friends, and even random people who are friended via facebook. My point is, i'm not excited about birthday, so why bother thanking? Why did i care enough to do such a "nice" thing?

You know what, i think the wishes and prayers from the people did me GOOD. Well, getting older is not something bad. It's something natural. Ah! I know, you probably say, "Yeah, where have you been, girl?" And um, yes, i've been here and there, dreaming my dream. Or so i thought.

I'm a dreamer but i know i'm not the only one. So, don't blame me for having big dreams that i thought would've come true by the time i reached my mid twenties. Kay, enough said. I need to "make" myself feel comfortable with what i am, how i am, and of course who i am. 

So, i decided to write about people, especially the 1984-borns. The famous, the rich, the A-list! Or yet, the forgotten?!

1. Adam Lamberg

Every body, i didn't mistype. It's Adam LAMBERG not LAMBERT okay? I don't know whether this pic is his latest pic. Well, if you don't know who he is, it means he has never been THAT important. He was quite famous back then. He played Gordo in Lizzie McGuire, or was it MacGuire (definitely not Macgyver, sorry, attempted joke!!!) series. I don't know what he's doing now or what he's doing, last thing i know he's still alive. Damn! I'm so mean!!! He's one of the "famous" 1984-borns. And that, makes him stay in my list.

2. Avril Lavigne

Actually, i think this little princess is freakishly annoying!!! I mean, i thought she thinks like, "Hey world, you know, i'm Avril. THE AVRIL!!!" Hehehehe... Even so, i like her music. She really is talented. It's just her behaviour that gets on my nerve. I'm not a hater, no. 

3. Fernando Torres

Frankly speaking, i don't know this guy until i saw his pic on billboard, and um, in the ad during the World Cup season. The only Torres i know is Dr. Callie Torres, an ortho surgeon from Grey's Anatomy series. LOL! Why is he here? Simply because he's a successful footballer (gosh! i'm such a gold-digger!!!)

4. Gareth Gates

I wonder where he is now? Somewhere in England, i presume. Hahahaha... This guy is a runner-up of the first Pop Idol. Losing to Will Young rose him to fame in Asia. Seriously, who knows Will Young? (And sorry, who is Gareth Gates again?)

Okay, Gareth, maybe we don't know you, but you had your time in 2003. Your song was on every radios (except on those that play dangdut) and most TVs played your video. Do you still remember the lyrics: It can happen to...anyone of us?

5. Jackson Rathbone

I'm not into Sparkles (Do you know who i mean by this?), ok?! So, i put Jay here because he's 1984-born. And i'm still amazed by his acting in one of the episodes of Criminal Minds, in which he played the MPD serial killer. It took me an hour to realize that he is the same actor who plays Sparkles' brother. Duh!!!!

6. Katharine McPhee

Who's that pretty lady??? Meet Miss McPhee, the runner-up of American Idol season 5. Though i'm not a fan of her music, i think she's the prettiest American Idol contestant! (Eh?! What does the mean woman mean?!)

7. Katy Perry

Ever since her "Hot N Cold", i decided to keep an eye on this girl. I mean, i think it's kinda late to "rise" at her age, especially at that time, Lady Gaga also came to fame. But, she managed to stay in the business, no? Way to go, Perry!!!

8. Kelly Osbourne

She was kinda a troubled child, considering the parents. I used to pay atterntion on the Osbournes when they were aired on MTV Asia. She was kinda psychotic, even to me... But then, look at her now. Looking decent and (almost) aristocratic!!! Whoa!!!

9. Kevin Zegers

Who watched Air Bud??????? Well, this is the kid. Yes, this Canadian actor rose to fame in the late of mid 1990s (meaning?!) from the so-called phenomenal movie Air Bud. Ohhh how i love the golden retriever!!! (HEH?!)

Anyone knows where he is now???

10. Lucas Grabeel

WTF??? I put one of the HSM cast??? Well, he was born in the same year as i was. And um, he's famous, at least for those kids, he is like an idol. Hahaha, that before Justin Bieber epidemic spread... Yes, i don't know anything about this guy. And i don't care. He should be just thankful because i put him in my list. (The ultimate mean remarks!!!)

11. Mark Zuckerberg

This multi-billion businessman is colorblind! Yes, that's why facebook is blue!!! You know where i knew about this? Twitter!!!

12. Prince Harry Windsor

Because Prince William is taken, and is getting bald, and his fiance is so annoying and i'm envious cause i'm not marrying a prince, so Prince Harry is here for me. Duh!!!!

13. Scarlett Johannson

ScarJo is alright. I mean she act quite well. She's not THAT beautiful but she's okay. And yes, she's very curvy... Hohohoho...

14. Shayne Ward

This guy probably made you raise an eyebrow, or two... Well, he's not THAT popular here in Asia, ok, correction, IN Indonesia. Well, as an X Factor winner, this British Guy "came" to my life in the beginning of 2008, when i heard his songs from his SECOND album. See, he's not that popular.

15. Wesley Snipe, oops, Sneijder

Okay, i don't watch football like i used to. Na-ah, i don't know this guy just like i don't know Torres. Well, Both Sneijder and Torres' countries made it to the final World Cup, right? (Try to figure out the connection...)

Okay, that's the wrap. I kindly ask for apologies if i may have sounded mean and sour as always. Thanks for reading... Hehehehe
