apa guna

apa guna blog. banyak sih. its handy, somehow gue ada record tertulis ttg apa aja yg udah lewat. dari gue mulai iseng doang, ngisi sebulan 2x, sampe skarang yg entry tiap minggu minimal ada satu. sbenernya pengen gue pindahin sih tp udah males. frustrasi juga gue gak bisa ngubah2 apa2. i blame it on safari hahah. gue seneng baca blog orang. pokoknya tiap ada entry baru di noticeboard, pasti gue baca! dan sebal kalo gak ada yg baru tiap harinya. gak semua bermutu of course, but who cares. actually, i do. but thats beside the point. its a blog. ppl can say whatever they want, even if that includes making a total fool out of yourselves. thats me included, btw.

dah ntn devil wears prada. of course as any normal girl would, i LOVED the outfits. the accesories. the details. ngeliat si nate kya ngeliat adit juga somehow, akan kepasrahan dia klo gue lagi menyerukan cintaku terhadap chanel. ttg cita2 mulia membeli sepasang spatu dari uang hasil jerih payah sendiri (which you are doing now with ur converses and adidases. same difference, sweetie). and.. other things yg film ini coba nyampein tapi males lah overanalize, its a chickflick to begin with. tapi gue suka ni film! chickflick bermutu selaen in her shoes (maigash the shoesss!!!!).

besok mo kasi2 resume lagi. pokoknya HARUS dapet kerjaan lagi. uuuuuuhh.

yasud ppl. pls write more often in ur blogs, it really helps me get through my day when there's practically nothing to do at work ^^.

hahahaha

YES!!!
senang lohh!! surprisenya judi BERHASIL!! gyahahaha.. gara2 anak2, 1 lift di 280 spencer st ANJLOK!!!! kita rame2 turun naek 1 lift from lt 23 ke groundfloor.. pas di tengah2, either bolung or pete (manchilds!!) loncat2an gitu. SEDENG!!! trus begitu dah nyampe groundfloor kok lama nggak kebuka pintunya. YAK! begitu liftnya kebuka tentunya baru ketauan klo liftnya anjlok!! huahhh so scary!!! hahahaha mana di dalem lift ada video kan jadi pastinya ketauan tuh culpritnya syapa aja hahahah. nti klo fotonya udah gue transfer i'll put it in here hahaha.

anyway kita rame2 nunggu di garasi, krn si silvia lured judy in there dgn alasan dia gak bawa kunci. mwahahahaha.

harusnya ini kemaren, tapi gara2 peter yg sundays ngimel si judy "sorry i couldnt be there tonite. i hope you didnt get too wet ma anak2.." padahal acaranya kan baru senin malem. dodol! hahahaha yaudahlohhh
kyaknya klo dibanding temen2nya keyo, kita ngerjainnya masih sangat2 baek deh. klo mreka yah, yg lagi ultah langsung diseret ke bak mandi trus di situ disiram dgn macam2 hal (kuah lah telor lah tepung lah sgala macem). we are very tame compared to them hahaha.. cman tepung dan aer doang.

the brunetti's cake was really yummy. but iv got no idea what it is, pas kita ngambil di situ gak ada tulisan apa2. tapi gue tertarik krn ada pistachio'snya huhu.. that sorta did it for me. chocolate-y cakes are getting a bit boring if too much.

adit lagi jagain rumah neh. lagi mo diinspek ^^. didnt get to clean up my room too much, i was too busy watching return of the king extended version hahaha. enak banget ntn di computer *luves*. of course i ffwded all the boring frodo+sam+gollum parts, i just wanted to see the fighting bits. baru nyampe awal2 disc 2. i actually havent finished watching the 2nd dvd of the two towers. tapi itu ada di adit jadi yaudahlohhh.. gila lotr is debes bangettttt!!! i love fantasy movies provided they're no cheap Bmovies baik dr segi cerita maupun pembuatan. i hope eragon tidak mengecewakan!

wiiii besok ntn devil wears prada ^^. abis itu udah weekend lagiii.. WOOHOOOOO.

kemaren ngeliat winekone lagi, yg internet recognition. kok gak lucu yak?!

have i mentioned i finally received the tickets for the grates ama the cat empire? yeah pokoknya udah dapet yayyy. smoga gak lupa tanggal2nya hahahha.. yg jelas the grates tgl 13 oct!

parents..

dont you know what's your parents' wishes?
read it, and you'll know,,
To our dear child,
On the day when you see us old, weak and weary,
Have patience and try to understand us.
If we get dirty when eating,
If we can not dress on our own,
Please bear with us and remember the times
We spent feeding and dressing you up.
If, when we speak to you,
We repeat the same things over and over again,
Do not interrupt us. Listen to us.
When you were small,
We had to read to you thousand and one times
The same story until you went to sleep.
When we do not want to have a shower,
Neither shame nor scold us.
Remember when we had to chase you
With your thousand excuses to get you to the shower.
When you see our ignorance on new technologies,
Help us navigate our way through those world wide webs.
We taught you how to do so many things,
To eat the right foods, to dress appropriately, To fight for your rights.

When at some moment we lose the memory,
Or the thread of our conversation,
Let us have the necessary time to remember.
And if we can not, do not become nervous,
As the most important thing is not our conversation,
But surely to be with you and to have you listening to us.
If ever we do not want to eat, do not force us.
We know well when we need to and when not to.
When our tired legs give way
And do not allow us to walk without a cane,
Lend us your hand. The same way we did,
When you first tried your faltering steps.

And when someday we say to you,
That we do not want to live any more. That we want to die!
Do not get angry. Some day you will understand.
Try to understand that our age is not lived but survived.
Some day you will realize that, despite our mistakes,
We always wanted the best thing for you
And we tried to prepare the way for you.
You must not feel sad, angry nor ashamed
For seeing us near you.
Instead, try to understand us and help us
Like we did when you were young.

Help us to walk.
Help us to end our way with love and dignity.
We will pay you by a smile and by the immense love
We have always had for you in our heart.
We love you child,

Mom and Dad

tumben2nya gue copypaste sumtin (thx to rani's blog) tapi ini kok touching skali yah. hixhix.
jadi kangen...

tuesdays

di luar lagi panas nih! wih wih. liz telat masuk, gue udah ngerjain smuanya, n dah gue kasi ke higher ed. kyaknya lama nih nungguin koreksian.. oh! yesterday brochures2nya mendarat di meja gue ^^. all of em, yg dibikin oliver, aaron sama gue. udah selesai 3-3nya ^^. looks good. finally!! i get sick of making flyers.. sama sekali tidak menantang. but brochures are good. lebih menantang for now hahah. oh well this is nothing compared to the folded A2 broadsheet back in uni hahahah..

lusa akhrinya nonton devil wears prada, gala style *ahemahem*. ada fashionshownya segala.. diadakan di brunetti's, trus lanjut ntn di cinema nova. ada dresscodenya " a touch of silver"... hahaha spontan bingung smua mo make apa! pas mandi kemaren iv finally figured out what to wear.. cropped blazer, terusan item, grey stockings and my white shoes. now all i need to figure out is what to wear as daleman but that shouldnt be too much of a problem. hopefully. hahaha brart nti hari kamis gue akan hadir sangat niat di kantor!! harus langsung cabut sih, acaranya jam 6. brarti harus cabut dari kantor paling lambat jam 530 T_T. gpp sih, that can be arranged!

besok ada inspection. at least iv vacuumed the rooms. now i need to masuk2in baju gue dan beresin kamar.. argghh malasnya . hahahaha parah parah!

iv got nothing to do nih, have read all the blogs i wanna read. people should blog more. both the interesting and uninteresting ppl. at least give me something to read, ppl!!!! andaikan si adit ngeblog jadinya kya apa yah. but he's the most unlikely person to voluntarily start a blog.

oh! iv finally seen nana!! they should make a 2nd movie, but probably later.. just wait until the story finishes. or if its not finishing anytime soon, well at least up until a certain point lah.. some things really stay true to the manga!! even the clothes.. whoa. hahaha i love junko+boyfriend! too bad she doesnt have a big part in the movie. what im disappointed about is that shin is waaaaaaaayy off!!! harusnya dia cakep! dia itu pendek! dan dia cakep!! knapa di film kok jadinya tinggi dan jelek T_T. kan harusnya dia itu ceritanya sidejobnya a very laku gigolo huhuhu klo kya gini mana laku yak. i also think that hachiko's hair need to be shorter just like in the manga. i must say theyv done the bathing scenes pretty nicely M rated. during the movie i had so many urges to shove down some food ke arah mika nakashima. sumpe deh, make tanktop aja masih bisa ada sisa space!!! mungkin klo meluk guling lebih berasa dan comfy dibanding meluk dia..
eh! baru tau gue ada animenya.. hmmm...

the grates

yay im gonna see the grates!! masih agak lama sih, the gig is on friday the 13th of oct.. (cue-ing eng ing eng to supersticious ppl ) pegi sendirian nih abisnya gak ada yg tertarik hix. the most likely partner (jacinda) gak bisa on that day hueeeehh.. yaudahloooh. acaranya di forum anyways so its not gonna be too difficult finding transport back home.
aduuuuh senangnyaaaa ^^. hidup perkonseran gue rasanya komplit.. udah pernah liat architecture in helsinki dan coldplay.. trus skg mo liat the grates. WAIT. its faaar from complete! if only i could see HRH Shiina Ringo in action, as solo artist(very unlikely) or with tokyo incidents.. oh that would totally be IT!!!! i'd positively go MENTAL!

as for now.. im glad with my most recent splurge..ouwwww yeahhh~

sore eyes

liz is not in today. so today im bound to spend my day blogging.. browsing the web etc etc.

festival indo sudah berakhir!! kemaren gue cman di situ dari jam 9 sampe jam 130 T_T. hixhix wanted to stay until the end but we've had the committee meeting.. hahaha so me tash fan jud came VERY late, we made ppl wait for us T_T. sorry guys..
i felt really proud to be indo ^^. i felt like dancing along with the music eventho i dont know the moves.. i definitely SHALL contact the consulate to ask about where i can learn some traditional dancing. id like toooo!!! either west javanese, "regular" javanese or balinese dancing.. huehh.. i felt a rush going through my body to dance dance dance.. please remind me to go n ask the consulate yah teman2.
it was good weather yest! really nice spring weather.. tp kyaknya jam 3an udah mulai mendung2 gituh (at least in box hill it was) but i hope di city ga knapa2. i reckon this year's festival indo is lebih rame dibanding last years...

----

im laminating stuff.. small signages. later to be cut out. hohoh my work for the day i spose!

-----

kemaren gue lagi emosional. pertama2 gara2 baca nana. astagaaa gue baca komik bisa sampe kebawa gitu yah, nangis loh gue.. trus ada juga gue ngakak2.. somehow gue bacanya kok jadi inget2 gue dan keyo. the situation is sort of the same, dari gak kenal sama skali tiba2 bisa tinggal bareng and we've been so close to each other. tapi tentunya cerita komik sangaaaat jaoh dari realita yg kita hadapi (neither me nor keyo are vocalist in a punk band. and neither one of us slept with an older guy(exmud lah..) during our highschool years.. hahahah.) this manga is very different from the other girl manga's iv read before. probably because the characters are in their early 20s, n most of the published manga's in indo are middle school aged. im looking fwd to the movie!! when oh when am i receiving it thru my maiiilll~
let me read it until finish first. 13 volumes! im just at vol 8. its very text heavy, so iv basically been flying through.. biasa laaaah i read it quickly to get the story, then i'll re-read it n pay more attention to all of the dialogues.. iv read the first 2 volumes dgn mayan detail, soalnya kan biar beneran ngeh ama background storynya. the cengeng nana (hachiko) was really annoying at the start. tapi lama2 kok lovable banget yak. jadi rebutan smua orang gitu.. parah sih sbenarnya, she went through 3 boyfriends in 6 months (with reasons of course!). am wondering how they are portraying the bath scenes in the movie. you can easily do the adegan ranjangs rite, just pull the cover up to your armpits n that'll stay M15 rated. the bath scenes (both nana//ren and nana//nana). gila yah iv spent 4 hours yest reading manga!

-----------

kemudian masih bermood2 sedih. abis baca manga kya gitu jadi longing for him dehhh~ jd pengen banget cepetan ketemu huhuhu. aneh yah gue bisa kebawa2 mood gituh. im so cengeng.

lagi nganggur

lagi nganggur nih.. liz is out for a while n she didnt give me anything to work on?! huee... yasudahloh.

anyways. belom laporan kalo weekend kemaren i bought these shoes!! i just realized that i posted this a while ago in my blog (see hint hint*)

i dont know what material it is from just seeing the pic. but mine is patent leather(y). have been walking on them the entire week, biar longgar gituh. very happy.

oh. i just bought the NaNa dvd from ebay. mika nakashima plays the punk Nana. she really looks the part! gue udah liat trailernya, it looks promising, just like the manga. havent finished reading it all, i only have the first 7 chapters.. but im gonna dld it until the 13th volume (abisnya cman sampe itu doang yg ada di website). i dont really know if it finishes at book 13. huaaahh syapa perduliiii. i'm hooked after reading 2 chapters. its a girls manga, really. tp its less sugary thn most, so i guess thats why its so hugely popular! hahah liat aja deh nti klo udah bener2 super booming bakalan ada sinetron rip-off nya! and we can all safely asume that its gonna be very poorly executed.

iv been on ebay quite a lot lately, bought a darkblue velvet clutch, and glomesh handbag+driving gloves.. all vintage. yeah. iv already got a red glomesh handbag. gue beli di glenwaverly! tiap sabtu kan orang2 pada jualan di deket cinemas, n we were there to eat at pancake parlour.. gue liat2 kok ada stall yg jualan vintage stuffs.. ehhh ternyata ada tas yg lucu ^^. beli dehh.. so yeah. im now searching for a white bag that go with my new shoes. i missed an auction yest! darn!! but im eyeing for a white glomesh bag. huhu ada apa ini dgn glomesh. mum has one of course, but hers are so big! a big clutch.. a bit impractical, and its golden also!!

oh anyways i came across the tiruan of this marc jacobs pair

the one i saw was made by rmk. huhu. padahal rmk kan merk yg mayan. but then again the LV satin heels were also copied by everyone.. anyways iv tried it on, its quite high!! rmk has the red version also. very tacky!

so yeah, iv found my flats.. now im searching for a good pair of heels.. hmmm.. need to save up first tho!

yaaaaayyy.. luuuuunchhh

oh yess.. im enjoying my lunch, tortellini sumtin2.. banyak banget gila!!! ni gue baru makan setengahnya (tapi kok masi laper yah.. masa gue abisin T_T)..
tadi pagi dibawain fanny ^^. so sweet of her.. otherwise i had to eat my indomie with seafood curry (which is not bad at all, mind you!!).. tp always nicer somehow to eat food thats been prepared by someone else ^^.

hari ini ternyata gue gak se-zombie kemaren.. padahal klo diitung2 tidurnya lebih sedikit! sama kya the night before, malem tadi ngerjain finalizing of handbook. FINALLY ITS DONE!! bloody hellll.. (kennie trimakasih skali untuk staying up). was late for work, but still within the normal 'cincailah' time.

oh tomorrow ray graham is coming over to the office. jengjeng.. hahaha matilah ngomong apa yah.. tapi palingan ga ngomong ama gue sih.. smoga.

duh kok masih laper yah.. nunggu 20 menit.. baru nih nyampe ke otak klo gue sbenarnya udah kenyang.. (kenyang.. kenyangg.. kenyangg).

tumben gue lagi ada banyak makanan.. masih ada sisa tongseng, seafood curry, trus semalem gue ngerendam sliced pork.. mo nyoba bikin charsiu. huhu klo niat gue taro oven tapi klo udah males pengen cepet2 yaudahloh gue goreng hahaha. nti malem jadi bingung mo makan apa. GUE MO SANTAI2!!!! gila.. or... haaarrrrhh.. masih ga bisa santai2 juga sih sbenarnya.

tas gue jebol masa! tas slempang yg kotak2 pink ijo putih... the slempangan snapped T__T. i guess iv been really abusing it. oh well thats what u get from a $20 bag. tidak tahan banting. tapi lucu.. hixhix. smoga bisa gue fix. abisnya masih sayang <,<

(eh iyanih mulai kenyang)

lima watts and decreasing

yes. hari ini fulllll.. pulang kerja, leyeh2 sbentar lalu makan. lalu hadirlah morgan serta fanny untuk meeting tgv!
FINALLY, setelah berminggu2 dlm keadaan gj we've mantaped ourselves on a concept! about bloody time, id say!
meeting diselingi dgn pertukaran informasi mengenai pihak2 tertentu. jadinya yah.. rada lama juga. all went away before 10, and i still had HEAPS of stuff waiting. festival indonesia!! bc handbook. dgn bodohnya gue sempat totally LUPA dgn ini bbrp waktu lalu!! sungguh bodoh. but the damage control has been done. its now 330, and hav just sent the pdf away.

tmrw is the exhibition. im gonna look like sampah since im sleepdeprived.
nampaknya abis itu masih harus ketemuan ama tash perkara pitch hari jumat.
besok tentunya gak bisa krn im SURE there's something going on on thursday. OH now i remember!! rasanya orang2 pada mo ke rumah om ben. i dont know if im going. i spose morgans presence shud be enuf to represent acara. im positively exhausted by then so i wont be of much help, im sure!!!

hari ini flood lagi. as fanny puts it rather correctly, there was basically a tsunami. one like never before. dreadful!
this needs to end soon!!!!!

okay.. im off.. am gonna soak my contacts. put the ip poster in my bag. brush my teeth n CRASH!

cheeky mole

huhu yeah iv had my birthday last sat, i'll go into detail about that in the next posting (need to gather the pics first hahah).

anyways... i came home saturday night and was brushing my teeth.. all of a sudden i noticed something. why is that mole so much more visible thn before?? im talking about one of the unnoticable feats of my face, namely my andengandeng on my right cheek.
come to think of it, minggu lalu di daerah situ tuh gue rada ngerasa tingling gituh. a bit gatel2, macem kya klo lu ngerasa ada jerawat yg akan tumbuh. which is very weird, cuz i normally dont have my jerawats on my cheeks! so yeah i brushed it off as an unlucky happening that might occur soon n didnt think much -if not at all- about it afterwards.. but jrengjrenggggg ternyata itu adalah pertumbuhan sebuah mole!!! aaaandddd.. i think its actually a NEW mole, krn ada sebuah titik lagi di dekatnya. dan itu gue curigai sebagai 'the original', the mole-yg-gak-niat. hahahah weird man. so thats another addition on my face after 23 years of living n breathing! smoga tidak menjadi mole yg 3D. tetaplah 2D sperti skarang.. mole yg ini sejajar dgn another one which is still on my side cheek. still on the right. kyaknya (dan semoga) cman efek doang, soalnya si adit bilang itu juga jadi tambah kliatan?!?!?! huaaaahhh nti klo sama2 tumbuh terus JANGAN-JANGAN BISA NYATU!!!! OH TIDAAAAK.
oke itu sangat sangat berlebihan, but he was very amused about the possibility. (GENDUT KOK KAMU! OBESITAS!!!)

hari ini saya periodpains. im in paaaaaaayn. hari pertama, sakit pertama aaaarghhh.. rasanya mo tidurannnn..

nti ada meeting sama anak2 publikasi FI. hadoh smoga gak lama2 saya tak mau lamaalamaaaaaa..

liz hari ini gak masuk! huaaaa.. gue udah bawa kleponnya padahal. o yeah.. about the klepon! kmaren gue bikin.. hahahah dan untuk yg kali ini pun ada bantuan ^^. si adit membantu.. huhu let ur feminine side out, dear ^^. kali ini tentunya berhasil bikin dgn lebih profesional! the shape is more refined(bundar, bukan gepeng), isinya gak kluar2 (well just a tiny few. we got rid of the evidence immediately fufufu) and it wasnt as bright green as before. i went easy on the pandan this time hahahah.
gue bikinnya skg udah ga liat resep lagiiii. gampang sih ternyata, perbandingan tepung2nya 5:1.. but i just gave it more tepung kanji byar kenyal. gula jawanya gak gitu enak sih rasanya so next time ill try a different brand..
skg udah gue taro kulkas, iv put clingwrap AND aluminium foil around it.. huhu biar tangan2 penasaran nggak ngikutin kepenasaran mata2nya... hope it all works fine in the microwave tomorrow.. uuuuhh fingers crossed!!!!

huhu nti deh yah gue posting fotonya, for now to you guys who dont know how klepon looks like, its more or less like this.. (mann.. there are some really really unappealing klepons on the web!! yuckkk)
