HELP DIAN FUNDRAISE to battle cancer!!

Visit my personal page at:

http://main.acsevents.org/goto/help.dian.fundraise

More info about the cause:

Relay For Life is a life-changing event that brings together more than 3.5 million people to:

• Celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer. The strength of survivors inspires others to continue to fight.
• Remember loved ones lost to the disease. At Relay, people who have walked alongside people battling cancer can grieve and find healing.
• Fight Back. We Relay because we have been touched by cancer and desperately want to put an end to the disease.

There is not a required amount of money to raise in order to participate in Relay For Life.

WHY RELAY?

The American Cancer Society Relay For Life represents the hope that those lost to cancer will never be forgotten, that those who face cancer will be supported, and that one day cancer will be eliminated.

One in three people will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime. The funds raised at Relay save lives by funding cutting-edge cancer research, early detection and prevention education, advocacy efforts, and life-affirming patient services. It is because of your involvement that we are able to save lives, help those battling cancer, and empower all to fight back against the disease.

Days are getting busier and busier with midterms coming up.. and me being stuck in the office half of everyday in the week doesn't help at all!
Not that I'm complaining that I have a job of course. I should be grateful that I still have that stream of $_$ coming bi-weekly..
Speaking of $_$, I just got my paycheck and the refund for my social security tax and medicare tax! yay thanks to Vita I don't get taxed at all :D If not I would have stupidly donated more than $60/mth to something that is rightfully mine~

Just booked my plane ticket to Atlanta with Jenn! Decided to spend my spring break at her house.. Should be very fun since we haven't really hang out that much this semester..

Had quite a successful Valentine's day balloon sale for UNICEF. I think we got around 40% profit margin. not bad ba.. but I think there's a lot of room for improvement for future sales :D

Watched the Lion King movie for the very first time in my entire 19 years of life over the weekend. Very nice indeed and now I am very very eager to watch the Broadway too!! haha =X
Can't believe I have only watched Aladdin, The Little Mermaid and the Lion King recently. What was I doing when I was a kid? Probably I was watching some other Japanese anime like Dragon Ball hahahahaha.. but I still HEART Disney until now :) Who doesn't, right?

okie dokie I'm going off work now and gonna be drowning myself in the misery of writing a paper -_-

chao !

XOXO

Random post taken entirely from Random Fug:

"When I Googled this Teyana Taylor person to find out more about her, I learned she has a single called "Google Me." Eerie. I expect to find out that, minutes before I finish typing, she's released a follow-up called "Fug Me," because she's some kind of rapper-psychic.

Although it doesn't take ESP or a crystal ball to know she was going to get it from us for this:

Have you ever been faced with a buffet so sumptuous -- or at least so full of breakfast pastries -- that you were paralyzed from not knowing where to start? That is how I feel right now. Do I begin with the workout pants? The boots, which look like she shot Fozzy Bear after mugging a stripper? Or the understated, tasteful corset? It's a marvel of symbolism: the ruby navel, the gold chain flap dangling slightly north of where her natural-born Google would be... But nothing is quite so achingly subtle as the mammoth bejewelled pseudo-nipples that cover her actual skin-made ones. It's like her Faberge egg hatched and she's getting ready to breast-feed its spawn. This might be my favorite outfit in GFY history. I need at LEAST three in different colors."

ROFLMAO....

Found a very good post in this girl's blog..

Friends Forever.

普遍的两个字，隐藏着深奥的意义。

小时候，我老是把它挂在嘴边。

只要有一群朋友一起玩，就觉得自己和他们很投缘。

有时候还会讨论长大后要一起开店等等。

可是梦想往往和现实有落差。

人啊，总是在变。

很多知心朋友已经变成陌生人。

有些还比陌生人更陌生。

就是所谓的 “Hi-Bye Friend”。

心情：可悲。

可悲，因为觉得可惜。

可悲，因为想念过去。

可悲，因为你是我的。

可惜属于我们的过去已成为回忆。

不过，我应该感到欣慰。

虽然我们不能做永远的好友，但回忆是永恒的。

“朋友一生一起走，那些日子不再有。。。”

在我们的一生中，时时刻刻都会有新脸孔出现。

没有人知道谁才是你真正的朋友。

只有你，才能够让真正的朋友陪你一生一起走。

我们要懂得惜缘、惜福

They say Obama's inauguration is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. DAMN RIGHT!

Upon hearing that, I was moved and decided to go embrace the COLD and then came back with this in mind: "That was definitely once in a lifetime. I wont ever go to any inauguration ceremony ever again!!!" -____-" With more than 2 million people flocking into DC to see the first black president ever, the National Mall was PAAAACCCCKEEEEDDDD...

Picture worth a thousand words.. so see for yourself:

The sun just woke up and the mall was already packed..

Hundreds of highly disgusting portable toilets..

Those crazy ones who camped there since last night..

That was the nearest I could get to the Capitol lol..

People people and millions of people..

And moooore people..

The awkward swearing-in ceremony

(which noone realized at the moment I think)

and even moooreee people..

See how well equipped we were and we were still freezing -_-

They would do anything to catch a "bigger" glimpse of Obama (the screen of course) lol

Just wanna emphasize again that it was PACKEDDD

and did I tell you it was FREEZING?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway, CNY is coming so I went shopping yesterday!

Bought an adidas shoe for $40 and another Puma shoe for $20 just because its too cheap to miss lol!!

>.<

Cooking dumpling tonight :D

GONG XI FA CAI DA JIA!!

2009-01-07T14:04:00.001-08:00

back in school!

am I excited??nope totally not.. sooo not looking forward to this semester since I'll have to wake up early EVERY single day! T_T It was so difficult waking up at 8 twice a week last semester how am I going to survive everyday?? wah piangg~

anyway, it's been a very fast-paced, short but sweet holiday! Came back to Indo for 2 days, went to Singapore for 4 days, back to Jakarta for 1 day, went to Bali for 5days, back to Jakarta for 2 days, went to Japan for 2 days and then back to DC for.... 5 more months I hope?

Singapore has grown more and more shopping centres which will be filled with the same stores again and again.. I realized that after trying to show places to Florian and I figured I kept saying that is a shopping centre, this is also a shopping centre, that one also shopping centre, everything is a shopping mall. LOL! like so sian one ~

Had a fun Christmas eve and Christmas day! Saw almost everyone in these 2 days! even Mr Tan who have been MIA for forever lol and the funny thing is that he doesnt change a single bit. However I think right now he talks more about his wife now lol. but whatever who cares. now still waiting for Vita to send us the pics.. Went to Sentosa afterwards for countdown. Vic had learnt the hard way that he CAN get drunk indeed :P

and had a KFC feast on Xmas DAY! hahahahaha.. and a nice dinner at Newton Circus <3

ate so much in SG! yay letme try listing them in order:

Xiao long bao, Prata, Boon tong kee, No Signboard, KFC, Newton Circus, Nasi lemak

ok la at least I cover my craving for boon tong kee and KFC for now... too bad nv eat yoshinoya and char siew fan :(((

Beetle, Db, babet, lucy, cry, wenny, ah zhe (altho u were not there haha), ah di, slut, kay, ..

THANK YOU GUYS FOR ALWAYS SAVING TIME WHEN I COME BACK!! <3 >

special thanks to beetle for taking MC :P

Bali was beautiful as usual. Saw a lot of monkeys lol! For example:

I dont know what the heck are these creatures doing poking their butts in front of public.. is it monkeys kind of PDA? XP if anyone feels like you should help correct your fellow's 'tarnished' image please do so.. lol

Alright so monkey seeing and of course a lot of sight seeing... and the coolest thing will be :

*drumroll*

SCUBADIVING!!

yes baby I dived! muahahahahahahaha

cool right! I know you are jealous. MUAHAHAHAHAHAH

*okay la actually its kinda lame cause the only thing I need to do is just breathe underwater. the instructor takes care of everything else lol! but still!!!! :P*

and then we did other water sports like :

Marble something...

We sat on this round thingy which was pulled by a speed boat at a crazy speed and the thing just BOUNCED like mad -_________-""

The guy said it will NOT turn over and that it's totally safe and blablabla..

so it was bouncing like mad and then when it suddenly bounced vertically upright I was expecting it to go back down SAFELY when I found myself splashing in the water already -_-"'

YUP THE STUPID ROUND THINGY TURNED OVER and then we had to swim to the boat and get back on it. So apparently the speedboat had to stop because of THAT big guy. The funny thing is, that time, I didn't even KNOW there was such a huge cruise right next to us until I saw the photo and was like.. wtf!

Flying fish...

yup it's exactly how you would think it is.. that guy in the middle kept the balance the whole ride and he was uber good laaa... that thing was soooo slippery and he was just jumping left right up down middle so professionally. lol~

yeah thats how we fly~

of course not forgetting that we took pictures in traditional Balinese costume (yes with Flo who was an instant celeb there in the shooting place. ALL indo girls were going CRAAAAAAZY after him. Everyone wanted to take numerous pics with him sia... I bet if I auction him off I'll be rich HAHAHAHA jk flo. And someone asked if I 'picked him up' at Kuta beach. ROFLMAO)

LOL he's glowing leh!!

Next destination was JAPAN

Japan was as awesome as I have always thought! hahaha.. We went around alot of places in just 1 day. Shinjuku, Shibuya, Harajuku, Ginza, Akihabara, Asakusa, Roppongi

not bad right?

and then Shinjuku there we went to the red light district called Kabuki-cho (歌舞伎町) lol.

so funny lah!

Flo was offered a 'live show' but he pretended he doesnt understand English and just kept walking lol..

Shibuya was CRAZY!!! Shibuya 109 had a 5days sale thingy and it was EFFING FULL. I've never seen SO MANY GIRLS squeezing in 1 shopping centre with 8 floors.

really the ratio of girl to boy there is like 1:100 leh. SIAO.

ALL girls with same kind of mascara, eye liner, fake eyelashes, micro skirts with leggings, heels/boots, long curly light brown hair. They all had such similar make up that I was wondering if they got a makeup lesson at school that tells them how to do it????

BY :"I know there's one place in this building thats empty"

(while squeezing through all the chaotic shoppers)

FLo :"what?"

(looking as miserable but of course happy with the so many girls exist around him :P)

BY: "Man's restroom!!"

Flo: "Do you think they even have one here???!"

lol.

and so after the end of the amazing holiday, here I am back in school, awake at 820am because I couldnt sleep because my throat is hurting so badly because I'm so heatyyyyy because I ate too much heaty stuff because they are SOO GOOODDD~

ok whatever. bubye people.

Happy (very belated) New Year!!

nope I don't have any new year resolution.

2008-12-02T15:55:00.001-08:00

Just came back from the first basketball game of this season.. HOYAS won (of course) but it wasnt a very exciting game.. the crowd wasnt very energetic at all lol..

I just realized it's the first time I bring a camera to the game lol!
I hope my season ticket is not going to waste.. go hoyasss!!

Anyway, another stupid game:

1) Each player of this game starts off with 10 weird things/habits/little known facts about yourself.
2) People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 10 weird things/habits/little know facts as well as state this rule clearly
3) At the end, you need to choose 10 people to be tagged & list their names
4) No tag back.

1) I'm very short tempered
2) I'm LOVE spicy stuff
3) I love KFC
4) I HATE writing papers
5) I have a big blueish/purpleish colored patch on my right hand (birth mark)
6) I always add pepper to soup
7) I dont like jazz music
8) I like to be pampered (who doesnt actually? lol)
9) I have not spent money on buying songs ever (except 1 Avril's cd and 1 simple plan's cd)
10) I wanna learn how to do amazing makeup ;)

I'm not gonna tag anyone since I'm lazy to write 10 names.. I dont think I know that many active blogger anyway and since I'm not in a good mood right now~

OK CHAOOO

highly entertaining!

2008-10-29T20:17:00.000-07:00

Apparently there have been much commotion around my dislocated jaw. People from the North side of the Earth all the way down to the South has been gossiping about my poor lil jaw.

OK so I Googled "jaw dislocation" and from my 'research' I found that maybe my jaw wasn't dislocated at all. I am guessing it just "popped", which according to the websites is a fairly common thing just that maybe my joint snapped a little 'louder' than most people's jaw. or whatever.
I can still yawn and eat Big Mac so don't worry I am not disfigured yet.
Thank you very much for everybody's concern. I feel the love!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA

love you too!

I DISLOCATED my jaw yesterday night!
went to Emergency Room at Georgetown Hospital and waited for 2hours for the doctor (EMERGENCY LEH? MUST WAIT 2HRS OTHER PEOPLE DIE LIAO LA). Wait until sooo longgggg with jaw hanging open and bone on the wrong side of the face -_-
then wait and wait and wait and wait and wait until JUST before the doctor came, my jaw popped back into place. HURT SO BADLYYY D:
Doc said my joint dont have enough (@#&!&@*! (I didn't get what he said lol) that's why the joint there is loose and if I yawn too big can easily displaced de.

:(

왜?

2008-09-14T13:18:00.000-07:00

sorry for the LOOONG absence. Well maybe noone missed me but I still have to say sorry so that I sound like a blogger with tonnes of readers, right? :P
Since coming back from UK, things have been hectic, chaotic and erratic hence, the disappearance from the blogosphere.
Novita was in DC majority of my remaining holiday so yup, as expected, we went around everywhere. We did our girls day(s) out which comprised of shopping, shopping and more shopping lol~. And of course (yes I know cannot start sentence with 'and' lahh but who cares) the bodyguards were there too (carrying the bags). We went to Busch Garden Europe which exhausted everyone and still had time to rush back and ate Peking duck afterwards :P

Btw, Thank you for coming on the rides with me even though you hated them!! hahahaha :)

Then Novita left and school started and it was all the add-drop classes/buy new books/buy course packets/find group mates/buy furnitures for room/getting to know freshman/housewarming parties/gathering everywhere/dinners/lunches/hurricanes/info sessions/assignments started flooding in and so on and so on and so on and sooooooooo ooooonn...
see how busy my life has been???

:P

So why am I updating now, you may ask.
Well, maybe because it's ur lucky day to be reading an update! and if you continue praying you might get luckier and constant updates ;)

PS. ♥♥ GOSSIP GIRL SEASON 2 STARTEDDDDDD ♥♥

I learnt something new today!

It is.... :

THE INTERNATIONAL PHALLIC SYMBOLS

Attention: The entry below is not intended for underage-d people so, if you are, please kindly skip the whole entry :)

Does anyone know what phallic symbols are?
Well, I guess a lot of people did already.. but I didn't! and I am sure I'm not alone... hahahaha!

Okay so,
my friends (2 guys) were trying to prevent this girl from intruding into their conversation.
So when this girl popped her head in between them, she was asking "what are you guys talking about?"
One guy replied "Oh you don't wanna know. It's boys talk."
Girl: "I'm okay. You can tell me!" (w/o realizing that that's his polite way of saying you-are-not-welcome)
Guy1: "Are you sure you wanna know???"
Guys2: (whispers to guy1) "phallic symbols"
Girl: "Yeah very sure. What is it??"
Guy1: "we are talking about the international phallic symbols"
Everyone: "HMMMPHHH" (trying to hold their laughter)
Girl: "HUH? What's that?"
Guy2: "Go back tonight and google it"
Guy1: "Don't forget to look for images"

okay, so since I was missing the joke there, I asked someone else and they told me that it means...

the international penis symbol!

I was like, ooookay.... hahahahahahahahahahaha...
So being the curious person that I am, I DID come back and google it.. took me a while since I didn't know how to spell it lol.. and then finally I found it in wikipedia! yayy! wikipedia rocks my life!

SO, according to wikipedia:

This article is about the symbol of the erect penis. For the male sex organ, see penis. For mushroom, see Phallus (genus).
The word phallus can refer to an erect penis, or to an object shaped like a penis.

For example:

"Walking penis. Gay pride parade, 2005. San Francisco, California, United States"

yucks??? wthh...

" Skyscrapers, towers and smokestacks (here the one of the former Friedrich Dick factory at Esslingen, Germany) are popular phallic symbols."

This is soo weird -____-"'

Even something like this???

O.O

Olympics 2008!

2008-07-14T14:30:00.000-07:00

Beijing 2008 Olympic song!

"Beijing Welcomes You"

You will notice a whole lot of familiar faces.. which makes me wonder.. Sun Yan Zi and Lin Jun Jie are Singaporeans leh! Why are they on a song saying "Bei Jing huan ying ni" lol..

ps. and yes Leehom is there :D

but, why is Jay and/or David Tao not there?? 太忙了吧!

"永遠的朋友" - Forever Friends

(why is A Mei's hair so weird????????)

"世界的梦想" by Leehom

"千山萬水" by Jay

"兄弟干杯"

(Even super junior is taking part!!)

there are so any other Olympic songs in Youtube and they all sound wonderful.. I'm wondering should I get the olympic CD?? LOL!

BTW!! Everyone should go VOTE FOR LEEHOM to sing at the 2008 Olympics here: http://hd.cctv.com/special/C21243/0000/01/index.shtml
http://hd.cctv.com/special/C21243/0000/01/index.shtml

Because of the Olympics, it has been a real mess to apply for a Chinese visa..I hope everything goes smoothly and nothing happened during the Olympics and... that Indonesia will bring back the gold medal for Badminton!! yaaay :D

Update:

It's amazing how people can come together for sport events.. friends and foes, young and old, male and female, gay and lesbians, blonde and brunette, white and black, yellow and brown, short and tall, ugly and pretty, big and small, thin and fat, etc etc etc
Take for example: Euro, World Cup, Olympics,...
Even small scale events like: School's basketball game, ur HDB flat's neighborhood volleyball competition or stuff like these..
You can see everyone is soooo united!
I remember going to basketball games and after a long grueling match, when the Hoyas won, everyone will just be SO happy we just go hug everybody, strangers or not.

Why is it that only at sports events that human can unite and be one ?
Why can't people exude that warm fuzzy feeling even after the events are over?

I guess it's because during a competition, the supporters are all united because they share the same goal in mind. The same destination.
Well, or maybe they are just the followers. They are there because they thought they OUGHT be there. They are there because they want to mingle with the rest. They are there because they wanna be considered part of something.
Maybe?

Wouldn't it be nice if it's calm and peace everyday?
But if everyday is so peaceful, I think the newscaster, newspaper, business magazine, political magazine all will go bankrupt liao.. everyone is smiling happily everafter they got nothing to write on and noone really cares anyway.. hahahahaha.. lol well I guess that's why God created human this way.. to spize up our life :D

LOL

- I wonder hoooow crowded it will be in London on 2012? It already is super duper crowded without the Olympics.. lol!

2008-07-14T09:48:00.000-07:00

What do you think I should do with my blog music?

1) Remove the play/pause button because it makes my blog looks ugly
2) Retain the play/pause button because I want to be able to listen and/or stop the music
3) Remove the whole thing altogether because I find the music irritating

4) I don't really care.. shui bian lor~

Google Introduces a Cartoonlike Method for Talking in Chat Rooms

On Tuesday the company introduced Lively, an online tool that allows people to embody a cartoonish online avatar and have text-based conversations with friends and other Internet users in virtual chat rooms.

Lively and similar products from other companies have the potential to change the way people interact over the Web. Online chat rooms are two-dimensional — they include text, and sometimes voice and video.

Lively tries to make that conversation three-dimensional, more interactive and more fun. As if they were playing a game, users choose from a selection of unrealistically handsome or Disneyesque avatars. They can also create their own rooms, which can be posted to a blog or social network profile as easily as a YouTube video.

Sounds interesting yeah?? Let's all download Lively and chat in 3-D world! (www.lively.com)
hahahahha..
ps. I'm not advertising. just found this interesting ;)

UPDATE:

oH nevermind, it's still super laggy and stuff.. I think google need another few months before its out of the beta version and can be used globally hehe..

Weird rules on the back lawn: blankets, beddings, rugs, towels are must not be on the grass at any time. Croquet is the only sport permitted on the lawn. Red wine and hot drinks are not permitted on lawns.
(It seems that Trinity is super duper careful with their grass. Noone is allowed to step on the front lawn's grass EVER at any time. LOL)

I saw this HUGGGEEEEEEEEEEE chips and was very amazed so decided to take 'immortalize' the moment. rofl

A nice church. It costs 3pounds to go up to the tower tho -__-"'

After much requests and complaints that I have put up an Indo song and not everyone understands it, plus the fact that I hid the player so that noone can turn the song off ( :p) , I decided to do some rough translation on the song to help you guys appreciate the song more.

Please be reminded that I do not translate for a living hence, my translation might not come out as poetic as the original meanings and do make suggestions for improvement :)

"On my wedding day, I carried my wife in my arms. The bridal car stopped in front of our one-room flat. My buddies insisted that I carry her out of the car in my arms. So I carried her into our home. She was thenplump and shy. I was a strong and happy bridegroom.
This was the scene of ten years ago.
The following days were as simple as a cup of pure water: we had a kid,I went into business and tried to make more money. When the assets were steadily increasing, the affections between us seemed to ebb. She was a civil servant. Every morning we left home together and got home almost at the same time. Our kid was studying in a boarding school.
Our marriage life seemed to be enviably happy. But the calm life was more likely to be affected by unpredictable changes.
Dew came into my life.
It was a sunny day. I stood on a spacious balcony. Dew hugged me frombehind. My heart once again was immersed in her stream of love. This was the apartment I bought for her.
Dew said, You are the kind of man who best draws girls eyeballs. Herwords suddenly reminded me of my wife. When we just married, my wifesaid, Men like you, once successful, will be very attractive to girls.Thinking of this, I became somewhat hesitant. I knew I had betrayed my wife. But I couldn t help doing so.
I moved Dew's hand aside and said, You go to select some furniture,O.K.? I ve got something to do in the company. Obviously she wasunhappy, because I had promised her to go and see with her. At themoment, the idea of divorce became clearer in my mind although it used to be something impossible to me.
However, I found it rather difficult to tell my wife about it. No matterhow mildly I mentioned it to her, she would be deeply hurt. Honestly,she was a good wife. Every evening she was busy preparing dinner. I was sitting together. Or, I was lounging before the computer, visualizing Dew’sbody. This was the means of my entertainment.
One day I said to her in a slight joking way, suppose we divorce, whatwill you do? She stared at me for a few seconds without a word.Apparently she believed that divorce was something too far away fromher. I couldn t imagine how she would react once she got to know I wasserious.
When my wife went to my office, Dew had just stepped out. Almost all the staff looked at my wife with a sympathetic eye and tried to hide something while talking with her. She seemed to have got some hint. She gently smiled at my subordinates. But I read some hurt in her eyes.Once again, Dew said to me, He Ning, divorce her, O.K.? Then we livetogether. I nodded. I knew I could not hesitate any more.
When my wife served the last dish, I held her hand. I ve got somethingto tell you, I said.She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes.Suddenly I didn t know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her knowwhat I was thinking. I want to divorce. I raised a serious topic calmly.
She didn t seem to be much annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why? . I m serious. I avoided her question. This so-calledanswer turned her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man!
At that night, we didn t talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardlygive her a satisfactory answer, because my heart had gone to Dew.
With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which statedthat she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company. Sheglanced at it and then tore it into pieces. I felt a pain in my heart.The woman who had been living ten years with me would become a stranger one day. But I could not take back what I had said.
Finally she cried loudly in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her cry was actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me for several weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer.
A late night, I came back home after entertaining my clients. I saw her writing something at the table. I fell asleep fast. When I woke up, I found she was still there. I turned over and was asleep again.
She brought up her divorce conditions: she didn t want anything from me,but I was supposed to give her one months time before divorce, and inthe month s time we must live as normal life as possible. Her reason was simple: our son would finish his summer vacation a month later and shedidn t want him to see our marriage was broken.
She passed me the agreement she drafted, and then asked me, He Ning, do you still remember how I entered our bridal room on the wedding day?This question suddenly brought back all those wonderful memories to me.I nodded and said, I remember . You carried me in your arms , she continued, so, I have a requirement, that is, you carry me out in your arms on the day when we divorce. From now to the end of this month, you must carry me out from the bedroom to the door every morning.
I accepted with a smile. I knew she missed those sweet days and wished to end her marriage with a romantic form.
I told Dew(BITCH) about my wife s divorce conditions. She laughed loudly andthought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she does, she has to face the result of divorce, she said scornfully. Her words more or less mademe feel uncomfortable.
My wife and I hadn t had any body contact since my divorce intention was explicitly expressed. We even treated each other as a stranger. So when I carried her out for the first day, we both appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us, daddy is holding mummy in his arms. His words brought me a sense of pain. From the bedroom to the sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten meters with her in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly, Let us start from today, don t tell our son. I nodded, feeling somewhat upset. I put her down outside the door. She went to wait for bus, I drove to office.
On the second day, both of us acted much more easily. She leaned on mychest. We were so close that I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I realized that I hadn t looked at this intimate woman carefully for along time. I found she was not young any more. There were some finewrinkles on her face.
On the third day, she whispered to me, The outside garden is being demolished. Be careful when you pass there.
On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I seemed to feel that we were still an intimate couple and I was holding my sweetheart in my arms. The visualization of Dew became vaguer.
On the fifth and sixth day, she kept reminding me something, such as,where she put the ironed shirts, I should be careful while cooking, etc.I nodded. The sense of intimacy was even stronger.
I didn t tell Dew about this.
I felt it was easier to carry her. Perhaps the everyday workout made me stronger. I said to her, It seems not difficult to carry you now.
She was picking her dresses. I was waiting to carry her out. She tried quite a few but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, All mydresses have grown fatter. I smiled. But I suddenly realized that it was because she was thinner that I could carry her more easily, not becauseI was stronger. I knew she had buried all the bitterness in her heart.Again, I felt a sense of pain. Subconsciously I reached out a hand to touch her head.
Our son came in at the moment. Dad, it s time to carry mum out. He said.To him, seeing his father carrying his mother out had been an essential part of his life. She gestured our son to come closer and hugged him tightly. I turned my face because I was afraid I would change my mind at the last minute. I held her in my arms, walking from the bedroom,through the sitting room, to the hallway. Her hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. I held her body tightly, as if we came back to our wedding day. But her much lighter weight made me sad.
On the last day, when I held her in my arms I could hardly move a step.Our son had gone to school. She said, Actually I hope you will hold me in your arms until we are old.
I held her tightly and said, Both you and I didn t notice that our lifewas lack of such intimacy.
I jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the door. I was afraid any delay would make me change my decision. I walked upstairs. Dew opened the door. I said to her, Sorry, Dew, I won t divorce. I'm serious.
She looked at me, astonished. The she touched my forehead. You got no fever. She said. I moved her hand off my head. Sorry, Dew, I said, I can only say sorry to you, I won t divorce. My marriage life was boring probably because she and I didn t value the details of life, not becausewe didn t love each other any more. Now I understand that since Icarried her into the home, she gave birth to our child, I am supposed to hold her until I am old. So I have to say sorry to you.
Dew seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud slap and then slammed the door and burst into cry. I walked downstairs and drove to the office.When I passed the floral shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet for my wife which was her favorite. The salesgirl asked me to write the greeting words on the card. I smiled and wrote, I'll carry you out everymorning until we are old."

Dear Sir,

I am writing to thank you for bouncing my cheque with which I endeavoured to pay my plumber last month. By my calculations, three nanoseconds must have elapsed between his presenting the cheque and the arrival in my account of the funds needed to honour it. I refer, of course, to the automatic monthly deposit of my Pension, an arrangement, which, I admit, has been in place for only thirty eight years. You are to be commended for seizing that brief window of opportunity, and also for debiting my account £30 by way of penalty for the inconvenience caused to your bank.

My thankfulness springs from the manner in which this incident has caused me to rethink my errant financial ways. I noticed that whereas I personally attend to your telephone calls and letters, when I try to contact you, I am confronted by the impersonal, overcharging, pre-recorded, faceless entity which your bank has become. From now on, I, like you, choose only to deal with a flesh-and-blood person.

My mortgage and loan payments will therefore and hereafter no longer be automatic, but will arrive at your bank by cheque, addressed personally and confidentially to an employee at your bank whom you must nominate. Be aware that it is an offence under the Postal Act for any other person to open such an envelope. Please find attached an Application Contact Status which I require your chosen employee to complete. I am sorry it runs to eight pages, but in order that I know as much about him or her as your bank knows about me, there is no alternative. Please note that all copies of his or her medical history must be countersigned by a Solicitor, and the mandatory details of his/her financial situation (income, debts, assets and liabilities) must be accompanied by documented proof.

In due course, I will issue your employee with PIN number which he/she must quote in dealings with me. I regret that it cannot be shorter than 28 digits but, again, I have modelled it on the number of button presses required of me to access my account balance on your phone bank service. As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Let me level the playing field even further. When you call me, press buttons as follows:

1 To make an appointment to see me.
2 To query a missing payment.
3 To transfer the call to my living room in case I am there.
4 To transfer the call to my bedroom in case I am sleeping.
5 To transfer the call to my toilet in case I am attending to nature.
6 to transfer the call to my mobile phone if I am not at home.
7 To leave a message on my computer (a password to access my computer is required. A password will be communicated to you at a later date to the Authorised Contact)
8 To return to the main menu and to listen to options 1 through to 8.
9 To make a general complaint or inquiry, the contact will then be put on hold, pending the attention of my automated answering service. While this may, on occasion, involve a lengthy wait, uplifting music will play for the duration of the call.

Regrettably, but again following your example, I must also levy an establishment fee to cover the setting up of this new arrangement.

May I wish you a happy, if ever so slightly less prosperous, New Year.

Your Humble Client

humans are so unfair sometimes.. they judge without valid reasonings and logic.. why?

I'm sorry I can't be perfect..

2008-05-26T00:48:00.000-07:00

wah!!
my blog count reaches over 1000!
So honored.. Thank you my loyal faithful readers and those people who got lost into this blog.. hahahahaha..

anyway I'm so freaking annoyed today.
After a lot of preparations and planning and organizing and thinking and more planning, I decided to visit Florian at Germany and then go around Italy on 12 June.
SO, being a sibe suay Indonesian, who needs a visa to ALMOST EVERYWHERE I go, I was going to apply for a Schengen visa through the German embassy in Jakarta (If u don't know wth is Schengen go n google it urself, dumbass).
SO, being a good citizen that I am, I woke up at 530am this morning to complete all the documentation and do photocopy-ing of all the documents. (The embassy was only open from 830- 1130 -___-'")
SO, after having done all the craps, I called for taxi, and then we(my popo, my mom and I) were aaaaalmost ready to go into the taxi when..

my popo FELL DOWN THE FREAKING STAIRS.

She skipped one flight of stairs, causing her to drop down and sprained her ankle.

GOSHHHHHHHHHHH

She is almost 80 years old de lehh!!! -_______-"'

SO, yup my mom and I frantically ran up stairs and get her. BUT WE WERE GOING TO GO TO THE EMBASSY WHICH WAS GOING TO CLOSE IN 2H30MINS!!
wahlawe, panic sia. then call my auntieS to come here asap with a tukang urut ( I have no idea what is it called in English, I dont think it really exists in other parts of the world)

BUT THE CAB HAS BEEN WAITING FOR 15 FREAKING MINUTES and waiting for them will take another 45mins at least..

-__________________-""

S
I
A
N

Well, no choice. So we waited and waited while my popo used the ointment to massage her ankle.

So finally they came with the tukang urut who started ngurut immediately. My aunties even brought all her kids because her maid is away and there's no one at home to take care of the children. WAH CHAOS SIA!!

SO we left popo to them and we were on our way to German embassy.

After HOURS of being stuck in the bloody long traffic jam, we were finally there. Then when we registered, the security told us no handphone was allowed in the vicinity!! WTH ?
Today where got people bring no handphone one sia??
dot dot dot...
SO they asked us to store our phone in a small little warung tegal opposite the building. wahlane. so we walked and looked and walked and searched and walked and asked and walked and stored and went back.

SO, after sibe long, we went in and was given the Q number thingy. Initially I thought

Wah German embassy more humane sia, they give use chairs and got shelter somemore. The other European and American embassy we have to Q outside on the road side no chair no shelter no food nothing de...

SO when it was finally my turn, went up and the girl go n check our paperworks. She flipped through my passport and told me:

U are still studying in the US. We have no authority to issue you a visa because you don't live in Indonesia. Go back America and apply for Schengen there

WHAT THE FUCK.

I was eff-ing speechless lah!!!
WHAT DO U MEAN I CANT APPLY FOR A VISA HERE? I HAVE TO GO BACK US TO APPLY? U SIAO OR WHAT? I AM IN INDO HOW TO GO BACK THERE AND APPLY? NO BRAIN IS IT? (well of course it didn't come out like that but, u know what I mean hahaha)

she was like : "Thats too bad. Then u cant go".

WHAT THE HECK U SO EASY SAY I CANNOT GO AH! U ARE GOING TO RUIN MY WHOLE FREAKING SUMER LEH!!

She doesnt even look at any other paper and STRAIGHT AWAY CALL THE NEXT Q NUMBER!!

................................................................................................................

wah lao I am fucking pissed la.. Means I cant go to German, cant go to Italy, cant go to France....

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH I HATE HAVING TO APPLY FOR VISA TO ALL FREAKING COUNTRIES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DAMN IT I'M SO MAD........

I was trying out some Photoshop stuff.. Can anyone tell the difference?? (OF COURSE YOU CAN CLICK TO ENLARGE LAAA!!)

Speaking of Novita Salim...
Vita is coming!! Out of a sudden she called me and was like

"Yann I'm going to your place hoor!"
WERT?! why? how come?what happened?
"I got internship at Washington Post so I'm coming to see the houses to stay at"
WERT!?!?!?! Washington Post? why? how come?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

As you can guess the conversation was filled with more WERTs and WHYs and HOW COMEs. Hahaha I was shocked laa! damn never tell me earlier.. if not I could just sublease my house to her ;P

anyway, so yup I'm trying to finish my paper asap (4 more pages to go -___-"') so that I can end this misery nicely and quickly!

2008-05-04T12:46:00.000-07:00

it was LOVE at first sight

I saw it zoomed passed me when I was 4 blocks away from my school! I guarantee you ALL heads turned and all jaws were hanging open, struck by its beauty.
Well, being the sweetest car I have seen first-handed-ly for the past few months, that scene was etched strongly onto my mind...thinking that I would never see that car again!

And then yesterday I watched Ironman for study break (again :P) and saw the beloved AUDI R-8 again!! *heart*

Anyway, Ironman is quite good. Not as much fighting but quite entertaining and the occasional jokes were funny enough to keep me laughing :D
I bet Audi spent a fortune to sponsor most cars that were used on the movie!
We made a list of hidden ads that were in the movie and we came up with:

AUDI
Burger King
Bvlgari
LG
Verizon
Caesar's Place

That's all I could remember now. It's interesting to keep looking out for brands appearing in the hidden advertising in movies.
oh well, should go back to my paper now... ~

2008-05-02T22:13:00.000-07:00

2 down. one more to go. one more research paper to go!!

This is the worst exam schedule I have had for the last sooo many years!
9am : Business Financial Mgmt
7pm : Managerial Acct
4pm: Management Science

-_-

You tell me how to study for all 3 subjects in 3 days?? I have been cramming too much stuff into my poor little teeny brain!
Luckily we were allowed to bring cheat sheet for accounting. I squeezed the whole book into the double sided page. Didn't really help tho. The questions were too tricky, almost no formulas were used. They were all application questions

GODDAMNIT

I just went for a free massage thingy at Leavey Program Room - for a study break :P
We are all camping all night, burning midnight oil, chucking down tins of energy drinks trying to stay awake.

oh well,

I guess that's college life.

See you guys after the final week is over (Wednesday)!
PRAY FOR ME AND WISH ME GOOD LUCK!!

Btw, did I tell you I'm going to OXFORD this summer?
and my UK Visa is issued!! :D

Attending a wedding for the first time, a little girl whispered to her mother, "Why is the bride dressed in white?"
"Because white is the color of happiness and today is the happiest day of her life." Her mother tried to explain, keeping it simple.
The child thought about this for a moment, then said, "So, why is the groom wearing black?"

I can still feel all the ecstasy and high feeling we had during basketball games. It was so unfortunate that Georgetown didn't get into the Final Four of NCAA this year. But fear not, next year we will be invincible with new squad despite the seniors who will be leaving us after this season! T_T
I can still remember the mayhem ensuing the victory over Uni of Connecticut sometime in February or March! The whole stadium was shaking!! :D
Can't wait till next basketball season yay!

WE ARE

*clap clap*

GEORGETOWN!

HOYA SAXA!!

This will make you cry..
-------------------------------
Jenny was so happy about the house they had found.
For once in her life 'twas on the right side of town.
She unpacked her things with such great ease.
As she watched her new curtains blow in the breeze.
How wonderful it was to have her own room.
School would be starting; she'd have friends over soon.

There'd be sleep-overs, and parties; she was so happy
It's just the way she wanted her life to be.
On the first day of school, everything went great.
She made new friends and even got a date!
She thought, "I want to be popular and I'm going to be,

Because I just got a date with the star of the team!"
To be known in this school you had to have a clout,
And dating this guy would sure help her out.
There was only one problem stopping her fate.
Her parents had said she was too young to date.

"Well, I just won't tell them the entire truth.
They won't know the difference; what's there to lose?"
Jenny asked to stay with her friends that night.
Her parents frowned but said,
"All right."
Excited, she got ready for the big event

But as she rushed around like she had no sense,
She began to feel guilty about all the lies,
But what's a pizza, a party, and a moonlight ride?
Well the pizza was good, and the party was great,

But the moonlight ride would have to wait.
For Jeff was half drunk by this time.
But he kissed her and said that he was just fine.
Then the room filled with smoked and Jeff took a puff.
Jenny couldn't believe he was smoking that stuff.

Now Jeff was ready to ride to the point
But only after he'd smoked another joint.
They jumped in the car for the moonlight ride,
Not thinking that he was too drunk to drive.
They finally made it to the point at last,
And Jeff started trying to make a pass.
A pass is not what Jenny wanted at all
(And by a pass, I don't mean playing football.)
"Perhaps my parents were right....maybe I am too young.

Boy, how could I ever, ever be so dumb.
"With all of her might, she pushed Jeff say away:
"Please take me home, I don't want to stay."
Jeff cranked up the engine and floored the gas.
In a matter of seconds they were going too fast.
As Jeff drove on in a fit of wild anger,
Jenny knew that her life was in danger.

She begged and pleaded for him to slow down,
But he just got faster as they neared the town.
"Just let me get home! I'll confess that I lied.
I really went out for a moonlight ride.
"Then all of a sudden, she saw a big flash.
"Oh God, Please help us! We're going to crash!"
She doesn't remember the force of impact.
Just that everything all of a sudden went black.

She felt someone remove her from the twisted rubble,
And heard, "call an ambulance!
These kids are in trouble!
Voices she heard...a few words at best.
But she knew there were two cars involved in the wreck.
Then wondered to herself if Jeff was all right,
And if the people in the other car was alive.

She awoke in the hospital to faces so sad.
"You've been in a wreck and it looks pretty bad."
These voices echoed inside her head,
As they gently told her that Jeff was dead.
They said "Jenny, we've done all we can do.
But it looks as if we'll lose you too."
"But the people in the other car!? "
Jenny cried."We're sorry, Jenny, they also died."

Jenny prayed, "God, forgive me for what I've done
I only wanted to have just one night of fun."
"Tell those people's family, I've made their lives dim,
And wish I could return their families to them."
"Tell Mom and Dad I'm sorry I lied,
And that it's my fault so many have died.

Oh, nurse, won't you please tell them that for me?"
The nurse just stood there-she never agreed.
But took Jenny's hand with tears in her eyes.
And a few moments later Jenny died.
A man asked the nurse,
"Why didn't you do your best
To bid that girl her one last request?"
She looked at the man with eyes so sad.
"Because the people in the other car were her mom and dad."

This story is sad and unpleasant but true,
So young people take heed, it could have been you.

2008-04-17T20:48:00.000-07:00

went to watch my SECOND BROADWAY show last Tuesday. I found the facebook event by chance and it was titled "Trips to see Hairspray" hosted by Georgetown Program Board. I have been eye-ing at Hairspray musical since I was in NY! The reviews were good and it looked like a lot of fun! So i was like YAYYY GREAT! then I immediately email-ed the girl in charge only to receive a reply saying that "So sorry we are out of ticket right now but I can put you on waiting list".

=(

That was exactly my reaction when I read the email! So I replied eagerly saying that I would love to be on the waitlist. So yay people say the patients get their payback and so did I. I got two tickets to see the show!

=D *grinning from ear to ear*

So here comes the day we have been waiting for! I was excited for the show despite the 2 assignments due the next day and 3 projects due the day after. LOL.
Gathered at the front gates at 645pm and apparently they chartered a BUS for us! wow! I thought I had to wear those heels all the way to the theatre hahaha :)
It's called Warner Theater and it's a huuuuuuuugeass theatre. aloooot bigger then the one I went on Broadway!! LOL. and being a cheapo student that we are, we obviously bought the cheapest seats (hence the cheap price) thus, we were seated aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall the way at the back balcony. It was called "upper balcony".

-_______-"""

couldn't see anything on stage laaaa! which idiot design the theatre until so big cannot even see one! siannn.. so we all creeped down the seats and tried to find unoccupied seats at somewhere better.. Unfortunately it was kinda full that night that my friends got chased away by the ushers when the 'rightful' owner of that seat came lol. paiseh sia~
(nope i didn't get chased away due to my smart choice of empty seats muahahaha)

So, a little bit about the show:

Synopsis:

HAIRSPRAY opens in June 1962, as Tracy Turnblad wakes up ready for another day. After school, she and her best friend, Penny Pingleton, watch "The Corny Collins Show." While Tracy and Penny sigh over handsome Link Larkin, Tracy 's mother, Edna, slaves away at her ironing board. Penny's mother, Prudy Pingleton, expresses her disapproval of teenagers dancing to "colored music." Edna points out that it "ain't colored. The TV's black and white." On air, Corny announces auditions for an opening on the show, as well as the national broadcast of the upcoming "Miss Teenage HAIRSPRAY 1962" contest. Tracy wants to audition but Edna is skeptical, fearing Tracy 's size will lead to rejection. Wilbur, her father, encourages Tracy to follow her dream. Tracy and Penny go to the audition.

At school, Tracy 's bouffant hairdo lands her in detention, where she befriends Seaweed J. Stubbs, the son of Motormouth Maybelle (the host of the once-a-month "Negro Day" on "The Corny Collins Show"). At a school dance, Tracy catches Corny's eye while doing steps she learned from Seaweed.

Seaweed invites Tracy , Link and Penny to his mother's record shop. Motormouth Maybelle welcomes them warmly; Tracy wonders why they can't all dance together on the show and plans to lead a protest during "Mother-Daughter Day." The demonstration turns into a riot; the police arrive and drag Tracy and all the women off to jail.

Everyone is released on bail, except Tracy, who is moved to solitary confinement. Wilbur comforts a downcast Edna. Meanwhile, Link realizes his love for Tracy and breaks her out of jail (using an improvised blowtorch - a lighter and a can of hairspray), and Seaweed rescues Penny from her mother's clutches. The four flee to Motormouth's record shop. She reminds them that the fight against injustice is never-ending.

OKOK I know that was a mouthful and probably everyone's gonna skip the synopsis HAHA :)
Anywhoo, it was AMAZING! I absolutely loved the show everything was great but........
the sound system was way too loud imo. So loud that when they sing high-pitched it was painful to the ears (yea they still have excellent voice but still when u amplify that by 97821635712x it'll be torturous).
So I went back, still mesmerized by the show and hypnotized by the songs, I decided to do some "research" on the show and found out that....

THEY PRODUCED IT FOR CINEMA! jeez I am so outcast-ed from the Hollywood side of the world.. and it was showing LAST SUMMER -____-"'
The biggest shock came when I read over the casts name and it was:

John Travolta
Michelle Pfeiffer
Christopher Walken
AMANDA BYNES
James Marsden
Queen Latifah
ZAC EFRON
.
.
etc.

WOW I never knew Amanda Bynes is doing Musicals! Zac Efron certainly has made an outstanding debut on High School Musical and I bet he's eff-ing rich now..
anyway the movie website is: hairspraymovie.com
and here goes the trailer of the movie

and I like this song

Well, actually I liked most of the soundtracks but u could just click around in youtube if you are interested :)

YAY TO CHEAP BROADWAY SHOWS!

-FINAL EXAMS IN 2 WEEKS-

2008-04-14T17:30:00.000-07:00

FITNA.

Part1

Part 2

I don't think I should talk much about these videos. The film is made by Dutch Parliamentarian Geert Wilders. I'm sure most of you have heard of it and have heard how much commotion it has caused around the world in the last week. People came up with different videos, comments, essays, articles trying to refute whatever is portrayed in the short film. One of the refute videos is called "Anti-Fitna" where they pose questions regarding the Bible and asking stuff like "why do the Christians pray and kiss the Cross on which our Lord has suffer?" (something like that) and alot of other controversial questions.

Indonesia, the country with the largest Muslim population in the world, reacted strongly against the film to the extent that they asked Google to shut down YouTube access from Indonesia to prevent people from being "brainwashed" by the film. Unfortunately, it hasn't gained much popularity in the US as of now.. I guess the Americans don't really care, do they?

Very interesting indeed.
Alot of questions have been thrown around for thousands of years regarding all sorts of religious belief. Why this why that how did this happen blablabla... Well maybe human should just learn that if there is no definite correct answer, one should just embrace one's own belief and not meddle with others..

Haha. just my immature thought tho~ But of course it is interesting to see how is this argument gonna develop.. not into another war, I hope.

2008-04-08T11:41:00.000-07:00

it's scary how fast time flies.. It feels like the semester has just started and now it's ending!! Final exams, group projects, research papers, they all come crumbling down mercilessly making the life of a student very miserable. And by next semester I will be a junior in Georgetown! meaning I have spent ONE YEAR of my life here, in a place so unknown to me just 10months ago. meaning I am 2 years away from graduation, the commencement ceremony, the robe, the graduation hat, the walk, the photos, the love, the flowers, the hugs, the kisses, the wishes, the JOB APPLICATION.
omg.
omg

first job. People say your first job IS THE MOST important step in your future career. shit.
will I get a job? who would want to hire me, a mediocre in studies, not so much a leader in extra-curricular stuff, not that person who get xxx scholarship? Which firm would be willing to invest in me? What if no firm is interested in me? What if no firm trusts me enough to be a part of them? What if I can't find a job ???
omg.
omg

Oh no. what about that dream of working in an Investment bank and earn $100k a year?

ah.. nevermind..
I shall settle my stuff for the near future first then worry about those later. Afterall, my test tomorrow will play a part in determining which job will I get in the next 2-3 years, right?

Anyway, Happy Birthday Florian!! Hope you LOVED the surprise :))

2008-04-06T14:18:00.001-07:00

ROFLMAO.......

Anyway, it seems like different countries like to make fun of different 'type' of people such as the Europeans make fun of "dumb" blondes, Singaporeans make fun of the Indians, etc etc.. But dumb blonde jokes are the largest in number I guess.. hahaha..

So why are blondes dumb? Why blondes? Why not brunettes?

Well, unfortunately for the blondes, there exist a cultural stereotype known to the whole world that the typical "dumb blonde", while stunningly attractive, lacks both common-sense and academic intelligence. This concept is highlighted by many actresses like Marilyn Monroe, Dolly Parton and even Reese Witherspoon in the movie "Legally Blonde".

The origin of this concept is unknown but it was believed that from the early 20th century, Blonde hair was, at this time, often associated with commoners, who were ostensibly deemed less intelligent.

Since then, people have came up with numerous jokes about them in which some are.. too dumb.

Question: If a blonde and a brunette fell off a building, who would hit the ground first?
Answer: The brunette - the blonde would have to ask for directions!

A blonde asked someone what time it was, and they told her it was 4:45. The blonde, with a puzzled look on her face replied,
"You know, it's the weirdest thing, I have been asking that question all day, and each time I get a different answer."

-I don't mean to offend anyone with these jokes and I acknowledge that not all blondes are as dumb and some are in fact highly intelligent.

-credits to the trusty wikipedia

btw, UPDATE on the last post, the Feminists kind-of won their case and the GUGS is delaying the sales of their T-shirt and the event would proceed as planned.

2008-04-03T12:14:00.000-07:00

ellow people!

I'm sure everyone missed me and my ~~interesting~~ life stories after non-life-related updates recently..
anyway so what's up with dian?

I am STRESSED! these exams and assignments are squeezing my brain juice out (not that my brain has juice) to the extent that I have diminishing numbers of brain cells left! and it's 3 weeks before the study week exam which means... ALL SEMESTER LONG PROJECTS ARE DUE IN 3WEEKS. fuck.~
okay so who cares about my rants about my miserable life right?

SO, Georgetown has this Georgetown University Grilling Society (GUGS, read: jugs) which has been providing the Hoyas with yummy freshly grilled burgers at most outdoor events. At the end of April, they are holding this event called "Grills gone wild". facebook event here In conjunction with the grilling week, they created a T-shirt which read "GUGS Grade A, Size D" with Georgetown's name at the back.
Theeen,
The United Feminists (yes my school has a United-Feminists-club, woah!) saw this T-shirt as "offensive, inappropriate and distasteful" to the females. According to them, "The sexual innuendo that is the marketing strategy for this event is not hard for any of us to see. Women are being portrayed as sexual objects by a respected campus organization. The relation to women as meat is blunt and abhorrent" and that "By referring to women as meat in a sexually explicit manner, the Grilling Society is actively perpetuating a socially hostile environment for women at Georgetown."
facebook group here.
They also explained that the whole GUGS(jugs can also mean huge boobs) + Grills gone wild (some show where all the huge-cup-blondies showed off their assets) + the T-shirt slogan = unacceptable.
Of course, the GUGS people was surprised that their attempt to be creative marketers was deemed offensive by the female population. Hence, they created another group in response to the feminists'. facebook group here. They claimed that "The t-shirts have nothing to do with the event, and if they are referring to something's size, well its a...HAMBURGER." and even told the feminists that "There are far greater issues at home and abroad facing women, and perhaps attention should be not towards GUGS, but rather the countless countries around the world that fail to recognize women's rights. *cough* the Middle East and Asia *cough*".
Both groups' wall are full with long comments and remarks from both sides. Unfortunately some people just can't contain their anger and started swearing and sprouting offensive opinion which worsen the situation.

SOOO, who's gonna win? IDK~
Honestly, I really can't be bothered with the whole thing although of course I don't deem the feminists for standing up for our rights. But I see the point that there are other more pressing issues that we might be able to help instead of arguing with the burger-grillers. Well, I'll keep my 2cents aside for the moment and keep you updated on the news :)

DUREX'S 'NON-PORN-Y' AD...

it's amazing what do the marketing people do these days. Catchy phrase, super creative ads, non-straight-forward ads,... .

The following post is totally inspired by his blog.

Disclaimer: I'm not holding any responsibility for any side-effects caused by the pictures.

First: Happy Father's Day
very very simple ad with the slogan in the middle "To all those who use our competitors' products: Happy Father's Day"

Quite straight-forward indeed.

Second: Enjoy the Other Side

For those of you who has ~~dirtier mind~~ higher imagination, this one is a little bit more suggestive with the phrase "Get lubricant by Durex. Enjoy the other side"

Third: Durex extra large (long?)

Alright this one is a lil bit too much I guess.. hahahahahahahahahha =X

the footsteps are fine but the 'line' in between is too ...............

Anybody not understand why would it be Happy father's day?or what does the back view of a TV got anything to do with Durex and what the heck is the 'line' in between the footsteps???

thumbs up to Durex marketing department tho~ :P

2008-03-30T11:31:00.001-07:00

'May I know your name?..''Batman...'

'May I know your name?''My name is Bat-man...'

'Trying to be funny?!.

What is your surname?..''Supar-man...'

'I want to speak with your manager...'

Girl Dumps Boyfriend Via Facebook Status Message

Girl Dumps Guy Via Facebook Status, Digg'ers Take Revenge
Let this be a lesson to you: Take breaking up a little more seriously and try not to embarrass your soon-to-be ex anywhere that others might see. This was learned the hard way by video blogger Sandra Soroka who ditched her beau via a Facebook status update.

The real mistake was posting an image of the status update on Digg, where scorned, geeky, men decided that Sandra had gone too far. Her Flickr account was hacked, all her photos deleted and replaced with a 'lol cat.' Horrifying.

We would just like to thank Sandra for putting her neck out there and confirming what any person with a sense of decency probably suspected -- breaking up via Facebook status update is a bad idea.

this is dumb -___-|||

Apparently NTU is implementing a new plan to house three students in a double room. "Nanyang Technological University may be scrapping its proposal to house three students in double rooms on campus accommodation."
-source: CNA

The students were so enraged after hearing this plan that they started protesting and created a parody videos in response to the plan.

and another video..

hahaha thumbs up for the determination of the NTU students against the triple rooms~

2008-03-25T14:58:00.000-07:00

Here's the long anticipated post of my Easter holiday! I know very well that many of you are very supportive of the fact that the lucky me, studying in a Catholic university, have TWO holidays plus an Easter Monday.
So fret not, I'll keep you excited with my amateurishly-taken-photosss!

DAY 1:

Flew to NY with American Airlines for less than 1 hour (which is negligible compared to my 30-hours-trip to go back Indo), reached JFK airport then took the scary Subway to downtown Manhattan. The subway is nothing like the Singapore's MRT nor Hongkong's MTR nor Japan's Shinkansen nor SF's Bart nor DC's Metro. Frankly the subway sucks big time.
1. It's uber dirty
2. It's uber dark
3. It's uber scary
4. It's uber expensive (it's $2 once you swipe the card!)
5. It's uber complicated and confusing
6. It's uber inefficient
oh well nevermind, I could go on and on..

anyway, so that's my hotel -Affinia, on 31st St and 7th ave. very strategic location! right across Madison Square Garden "The World's Most Famous Arena in the heart of New York City" -> google it if you don't know dumbass.

After checking in, we went to Century 21, a dept store of branded stuff at low prices. Bleah I didnt buy anything there it was too crowded and messy!
Sooo, feeling dejected after failing to fish any good deal, we decided to go to:

Yup! that's Times Square! beautiful as ever. all the LCDs etc etc, even Bank of America has digital board for its name. Seems like you either have it or you don't. In the photo you could see Hard Rock Cafe, which I think is dying in popularity just like Planet Hollywood. Anyway, we went to Times Square since we were going to Broadway! Yes, THAT broadway. We were going to watch:

Chicago the Musical!

There's never been a better time to experience Chicago,
Broadway's razzle-dazzle smash.
A sensational tale of sin, corruption and all that jazz,
Chicago has everything you could want in a musical:
knockout dancing,an edge-of-your-seat story and one showstopper after another.
No wonder it's become a runaway success in over 250 cities worldwide, earning six Tony Awards®,two Olivier Awards®, a Grammy® and thousands of standing ovations.

My first time watching a Broadway show la!! was soo cool! even though it was all jazz-y (I don't like jazz, fyi) but the play was funny and very interesting. The casts were not stunningly beautiful tho~

That's me waiting in line outside the Ambassador Theatre. Apparently they don't wanna waste money and space to build a waiting room inside since they wanna maximize the theater size hence maximizing the number of seats! So there we were queuing in the freezing cold weather of NY! sigh

The interior of the theater was beeeeeeeeautiful! Chandeliers dangling everywhere, excellent architecture and murals *love*

Back to the hazzle buzzle of Times Square and took random photos of the night lights and M&M's store.

DAY 2:

Ran around Manhattan in the morning to catch the shuttle bus to go to the harbor to catch the cruise! The cruise left at 11am. It was sooooooooooo windy and the wind was freezing cold that noone basically stayed on the deck the whole time. However, the narcissist me wanted to immortalize the moment hence I persist through the weather and took photos for your enjoyment :p

See how wildly my hair was flying?? And yup that's the Statue of Liberty. I'm getting one step closer each visit to NY. maybe one day I'll actually be ON the statue ;D

That's the Financial District! the Broadway of the finance major people (me included)! yeahhh you see that blue-made-of-glass-building right there? That's gonna be my office in 5 years time!! muahahahahaha!

After gulping enough wind, we decided to get some real human food. Hence, Chinatown comes to mind! HAHAHA.. found a Malaysian restaurant called "Jaya" in one of the secluded streets of Chinatown and guess what we found! KANGKONG BELACAN!! Jeez I've never been happier to see a kangkong before. LOL..

Speaking of Kangkong, apparently the state of DC banned its presence (don't ask me why) hence the lack of its existence here (which explains my deprivation) D:

Then, we went to SoHo which was packed with Europeans! Just because their Euro is so strong now and USD is so cheap they are invading the American market to take advantage!
*grumps*
not fair. When's IDR turn? sigh

So after hours of continuous window shopping (all stores were of brands that are unaffordable LOL) we finally decide to grab another meal! We consensus-ly chose Korean town and its famous Kalbi :)

Next we went to the Empire State building. went to the 86th and 102nd floor! 102nd floor was soooooooooooo pretty! I tried taking photos but to no avail since it was blurry and tiny. The photos above were taken from the 86th floor.

DAY 3:

New York Stock Exchange on Wall Street! Btw, my eyes were not closed it's just the way they are so leave them alone. lol.
And that's the famous New York bull and its balls :)

Before Wall St, we walked through the whole Fifth Avenue and went to Rockefeller Center,

Trump Tower and St Patrick's Cathedral.

My goal in life should be:

To own Dian Tower or Dian Center

LOL

-Another random picture of Times Square taken on the last day. There were no photos taken on Easter Sunday due to my increasing laziness to shoot and furthermore, to blog ;p

2008-03-19T22:38:00.000-07:00

Dian is off to New Yorkkk!

has lots of things to blog about such as my adventure in getting my DRIVER's LICENSE but .... no time! i gotta pack and sleep asap! it's early flight tomorrow morning.
so, in the meantime I wanna say
.
.
.
.

HAPPY EASTER ! :D

God bless ~

2008-03-17T19:37:00.000-07:00

yayy I finally was inspired to come back and revive this poor blog which has been abandoned for months!
new skin, new song, but unfortunately still the same old tag board (still this doesn't give u an excuse not to tag me ;p )

anywhoo,
new semester had started! (eons ago actually) Do you still remember when I was telling you about moving into new school and new dorm and stuff? It's been ALMOST a year! jeez how time flies.. So, while the school and the place is not brand new anymore, I moved into a new dorm and hence, new roommate!

Awright enough of the background story..
So you have missed my wonderful times along the semester of Secret Santa, Valentine's, Chinese New Year, Etiquette Dining, New York Ballet, Spring Break, et ceteraa...
But fret not! There is easter break coming up in T.W.O. days and I shall post alooooooot together with the exclusive photos :D

Yeah despite all the supposedly uber fun times I should be having as a college student, I seem to have endless assignments, meetings, exams, essays, papers, case studies, applications, readings, homeworks, more assignments, more meetings, more exams, more papers, and even more assignments!! and even now I am procrastinating my ass off when I am supposed to do my paper!
This is bad...I think I have reached that point of procrastination that I prefer to do house work than school work! and BY told me to "be a housewife lor"

-___-

so easy say liao can drop school mehhh? hahaha I wish I can lah.. quit school and be a nice happy taitai at home. LOL.. even the owner of Gucci (which is one of the top 20 richest man) is a uni drop out!

Speaking of rich people, after 13 years being on top of the list, apparently Bill Gates is not the richest anymore! Warren Buffet (the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway) took over him with

$62 billion worth of fortune!!

and surprisingly enough Gates is not even the 2nd!
A Mexican guy in telecommunication business is swelling in wealth and he is now worth

$60,000,000,000 !!

can u see all that zer0s?? o.O

oh well, I guess I can join that list some other times when I feel like it (yeah, right..)
So, in order to do that, I'll first have to start moving with my papers so that I can earn good grades hence good GPAs which will land me in a uber-high-paying-job of the century.
Am I right? ;)

Cheeeers!

2007-11-21T12:28:00.000-08:00

CHICAGOOOO I'M COOOOMINNGGGG :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
yay finally it's holiday. the school is 90% EMPTY!! even during the peakest hour of the peak hour the dining hall was E.M.P.T.Y.! hah! the power of giving thanks lol!!

I have been told by my friend that God still bless us.. yes He does! totally.. as I posted the last entry that I went to Six Flags on Saturday, later I learnt that some ride( which I didnt get to ride on as it was CLOSED (now I know why it was closed !)) had an accident and the hydraulic breaks broke and was sprayed on the passengers aboard the ride..

read it here...

well, thanks God I am well and alive! :)
amen..

eww whats that?
hahaha yes thats my bandaged-hand.. I donated blood for the..

(btw uploading this hi-definition images took years! appreciate and look at them people! lol)
They came to my campus and did a blood drive..it was a hecka looong wait..took me almost 2hrs in total and they said they only needed 1h15mins! -_-"
i told the nurse that i was out of country in the last year but after knowing that i only went to singapore and Jakarta she was like 'that's OK'
then why did i got turned down last year when i wanted to donate ?? ( when i was still in CA)
the Red cross ppl said that I can only donate if I stay in US for 4 years without going out of the country.. like.. wth? might as well i apply for citizenship if i cant get out for years..hahaha..
so, after waiting for what seemed forever, the nurse called me and they interrogated (well not the nurse, i had to answer questions in the computer) then they 'stapled' my middle finger to check for iron and apparently i passed the whatever test because she asked to proceed (duh)..
then i lied down and the nurse checked my left vein first (btw all the nurses were black. wow) and after poking/pressing/sliding/feeling he decided that it's too small so moved on the right hand. and...there we goooo!

so iodine was applied first.. then the needle was next..and surprisingly it wasn't as painful as the blood collection at lab in hospitals..-_-" i rmb in Singapore they gave anesthetics before hand ( am i right?lol) so i did not feel anything the first time..lol
After minutes of squeezing a cylindrical thingy (American dont give u stress balls!! and they don't have cute bandages =((( ) I was told to rest in the canteen which only had Famos amoz chips and water..while eating I found things on the table.. as curious as a small little cute girl *ops* i took one of it and opened....
and VOILA!

lol yeah it's nothing just a pack of bandages.. i took it tho (for just in case lah! not bcoz im kiasu okay! lol) and they had the red band which looks something like the 'livestrong' thingy but its 'giveBlood' instead..

yay i saved 3 lifes liao :DD must be good to me hor!

went home and talked to my sad and depressed honey for a while.. heehee honey don't be sad ba i lurve euuuuuu (ahlian's version) lol
muackz

oh ya! good news! MY PHILOSOPHY PAPER IS DONEEEEE!!
WHAT? did i hear u say what's the big deal? of course it's a big deal! huge deal horh!! it is VERY stressing to do a philosophy paper.. ( well for me lah! u philosophy-pro /philosopher then good for u loh!) I'll be good and let u see the question..

We saw that according to Aquinas neglecting to deliberate about whether and how to perform an action is an example of "ignorance of evil choice" (p. 55, Sept. 13 lecture). What should we say, however, about a case in which one is overcome by rage, "loses one's head," and cannot deliberate? In such a case, is the action one performs voluntary, involuntary, non-voluntary, or should it be put in some fourth category (which you define and defend, of course)?

Chim right? lol.. was like what the heck is the question askin lahh..took me literally days to write this lohh..and to imagine there are more cominggg..arghhh..

*faints* but I shall celebrate and enjoy and embrace this very moment first..I shall give myself some rewards for not browsing anything but opening my emails,facebook,friendster,forums,news,crunchy,utube (lol that's basically everything HAHAHA) for these past few days when I am doing.. muahahaha..

oh ya I bought tickets for Thanksgiving liao.. CHICAGO I AM COMINGGGG! yeah yeah.. can meet my beloved friends again yay <3 onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YWO1FFIxPC4/RwQRt9JcNcI/AAAAAAAAABs/Bs3RZzX_JuE/s1600-h/onion-dp07.jpg">

anyway.. WANG LEEHOM IS IN LOS ANGELES FOR LUST,CAUTION PREMIERE TODAY!! OCT 3 2007! AND IT WILL BE IN CINEMAS SOON! GO MOVE YOUR ASS TO THE NEAREST CINEMA RIGHT NOW AND SUPPORT LEEHOM AND ANG LEE YEAHHH!!

记得
by 张惠美

谁还记得
是谁先说永远的爱我
以前的一句话
是我们以后的伤口
过了太久
没人记得当初那些温柔
我和你手牵手
说要一起走到最后
我们都忘了
这条路走了多久
心中是清楚的
有一天有一天都会停的
让时间说真话
虽然我也害怕
在天黑了以后
我们都不知道会不会有遗憾
谁还记得
是谁先说永远的爱我
以前的一句
是我们以后的伤口
过了太久
没人记得当初那些温柔
我和你手牵手
说要一起走到最后
我们都累了
却没办法往回走
两颗心都迷惑
怎么说怎么说都没有救
亲爱的为什么
也许你也不懂
两个相爱的人
等对方先说找分开的理由
谁还记得爱情开始变化的时候
我和你的眼中
看见了不同的天空
走的太远
终于走到分岔路的路口
是不是你和我
要有两个相反的梦
谁还记得
是谁先说永远的爱我
以前的一句话
是我们以后的伤口
过了太久
没人记得当初那些温柔
我和你手牵手
说要一起走到最后
我和你手牵手
说要一起走到最后

AHHH my life is in such a mess ( i mean my assignments ) lol. I'm really behind the class now..and it's only the 3rd week! crap..
anyway..had a wonderful weekend..lemme tell you about my weekend =D

Saturday
good news is I got a job interview at Georgetown Uni Alumni & Student Federal Credit Union (bah damn long siah the name.. ) - a 12million student run company on campus- on 1030am! so woke up early and prepare blahblah
bad news is I screwed up the interview by answering the questions stupidly and I am SOO sad now..=(( I wanna work thereee.. GGRRR aaaaaaaargh.../sigh
So I felt really down and decided to retreat to my peaceful bedroom (my roommate is away for the weekend muahaha) to watch,..... 放羊的星星 aka My Lucky Star!!

It's a good drama everybody should watch it! :p and Jimmy lin aka 林志穎 also looks cuter than normal there~ :DD
I'm too lazy to tell you what is it about.. so just go to veoh.com and search for 'my lucky star' and start watching! now!!!!
Anywhoo, I finished watching the last episode just in time when Michael came to fetch me and Brata. We went to eat at a Peking Duck restaurant which was totally AWESOME !!(both food and the price lol)
To make things even better.. next to the restaurant was an Asian market..which sells INDOMIE!! and chilli sauce!! (although it's not cap jempol but it's better than nothing, righttt?)
oh yup of course I didn't want to miss this chance and grabbed a bottle of chili sauce (yes la only a bottle)
So we went back to Georgetown and went to Nico's room ( a French dude who is crazy about Chinese language, people,country,literature,food,photos,places, everything! ) and watched Leons while drinking Baileys and Vodka. and we took alot of idiotic photos (Thanks to Mac--the laptop Mac that is) of which can be found in Facebook :D

okay i think this is the most hilarious photo. Left - Nico, me, Florian ( a german dude who speaks so many languages lol) See how my eyes are huge there ? :D

yeah so there goes my Saturday.. sobs!

Sunday

Woke up early in the morning ( 915am lol) to go to a baseball game! it was..

VS

I didn't know anything about baseball except that there is a pitcher and batter.. lol.. so after a quick lesson from Florian there we were on our way to Stadium Armory ! The Metro(subway) was PACKED with people wearing red ( Nationals' color) and apparently everyone was going to the same place so we didn't have to worry about getting lost. hahaha..

<-- the view from my seat. I know it looks like nothing on the field can be seen but actually it wasn't that bad. hahaha.. and after looong loong hours of 9 innings.. finally Washington Nationals wonnN! the score was 5-2! yeah! oh yea i learnt a few terms too..fly out, balls, innings, 7th inning stretch and blahblah.. lol and yes we had hotdogs (but no beers :P)

the hotdog was uberrrrrr nice!!

(Fumi, me, Brata)

went back to Georgetown and we went for dinner at some Japanese rest which was SO COOL! (again both food and price!! sighhh..) I had tofu, una-jyu( unagi + rice) , and ... MOCHI ICE CREAMM!! yeepeee:D

and then the bill came ... and I was terribly SHOCKED !! it was one-hundred-thirty-three-dollars for 5 personnn!!! WERTTT! sigh..hao huo bu pian yi.. ='(
then went back dorm and tried to do some very last-minute case study!

and there went the whole weekendddddd..noooooooooooooooooo... and the countdown to the duedate of my philosophy paper is coming! crap..

We saw that according to Aquinas neglecting to deliberate about whether and how to perform an action is an example of "ignorance of evil choice" (p. 55, Sept. 13 lecture). What should we say, however, about a case in which one is overcome by rage, "loses one's head," and cannot deliberate? In such a case, is the action one performs voluntary, involuntary, non-voluntary, or should it be put in some fourth category (which you define and defend, of course)?

any idea people? *crying*

2007-09-19T19:28:00.001-07:00

crying out loud. sigh..

2007-09-18T20:21:00.000-07:00

yeah people here I am! after months of absences.. :D

so, new life new house new school new place new people new friends new new new!
intimidating eh?
well, yes of course.. yet it's exciting ( tho i can't say that it's 100% a happy pleasant journey lol) !
how can you be not excited when the first impression of your new school is that "holy crap it looks like Hogwarts!" hahaha..
Apparently Bill Clinton and the president of the Philippines and the U.S. ambassador for Singapore graduated from Georgetown Uni too! :P
This afternoon the president of the Dominican Republic came to my school to deliver a speech ( i think). I didn't even know there is such event until my friend told me and I was like "huh? where is dominican rep? what is he doing here?" lol. sorry lah my geog very jialat can? :P yea so there were at least 10 big black cars with all sorts of security guards ( schools and his guards i guess) standing everywhere around the front gates. Too bad I have class at that time so I couldn't come ( yeah like i would even if there's no class~)

So all the excitements aside, the teachers are so demanding here and everyone seem to be super duper ambitious. e.g almost everyone I asked are doing double major la! made me feel like the stupid odd one out.. aishhh!
To add to my misery, I'm taking this stupid class 'Business-government relations' ! alamak. see the course title can predict that I'm gonna fail this class liao.. Why?
1) It's all about government. FYI, I have ZERO/nil/none knowledge about the government structure in the U.S.
2) I'm not at all interested to know about this legislation, that bill, his policy, her campaign and whatsoever. Worse, my project is to track a legislation, regulatory, or judicial issue for the semester. Don't ask me what it means. I also don't know *ARGH*
3) The prof's voice is descending. What do I mean by that? His voice will go from 60Hz( is this the correct unit? lol) at the start of a sentence and then decrease till the supersonic level which is, unfortunately, inaudible for anybody in the class. So, we raised our hands and told him that we couldn't hear a single thing. Guess what he said? "Yea I do realize that. The acoustic of the room is really bad." o.O

Oh ya, I got an interview for internship at the GUASFCU ( the school bank run by students) this Saturday!! Anybody has any tips and hints for excelling an interview? lol pardon me the 100% noobie.. :D

Btw, anybody wanna celebrate Xmas at KL or sgp? :D
*cross finger*
