Hello again, people of the world.

First I wanna thank the people who has brought me along to
Sidang Dharma to listen to teachings.

Next, I wanna thank my Mom who guided me during my driving for the past week
and now that she's in Bali, I can drive myself.

Next, I wanna thank Nippie for always being there for me in his cage, reaching out for any food that's coming in the way.

Finally, I wanna thank Narti and her crew for cleaning the house, the cookings, the laundry and everything else.

N also to this world for letting my live my life happilly and without worries.

Till then.

Daddy's coming backk

...and so it is, just like you said it would be.
life goes easy on me- most of the time.

and so another month went by. living la vida loca.
showcasing went great.
i met agnes monica. yea, big deal.
i don't quite into her anyway.
if this gonna make some ppl feel better,
she's hideously fat for an artist, ok.
im too mean. lets say, she's alright.
she's cute and pretty and has a nice hair.
but looking for a fresh flower in an artificial flower exhibition?
that's too ridiculous.

hahhaha...

way to go, girl

yea, my baby's in singapore right now.
don't forget to bring me the skeleton dolly.
but i still have another baby.. NIPPIE!
oo.. i love him. or..is it HER?
damn rika, what's with the 'not knowing your rabbit's gender'
well, i tried peeking under there, but all i see is FUR FUR AND MORE hair..
so, fuc that.. forget it. hahhaha...

ok right now. im already wanting to plan for christmas.
OOO

things happened in indonesia:

traffic jams 24/7- well, almost.
2 rabbits, milk and nippie, milk ran away.
noodle tender died last night, caused by respitory syndrome.

WHEW

no more countdown, babies, Im rocking now!
i can't believe that the day has come, sheesshh.
you wont guess where I am now.
Hong Kong international airport!
and within 2 hours, I'll be flying again to jakarta.

k, gtg.

My body aches are recovering really well and swift.
But i enjoyed my SportSunday; well, foremost, I got to play american football!
I love the game, because I won. HAHA!

We're finally surviving the last of the last days without THE internet.
Yes, it is horrible, but what's more pipping is THE day, THE day.
TWO more days and good-lala-bye to Avalon.
mhuahhahaa.

We finally caught that premiere movie; Roll Bounce.
And thanks to dinner at borobudur, we got the front side seats.
failed plans- and we got our neck tilted the whole of 2 hours. DAMN!
Shouldve head out earlier.
Aside from kiddy's screams, front seat, stuffy cinema,
The movie was good-more to soso, more to dancing and stuff.
and it's rollerSKATES. not inline-skates, so I wasn't so enthu about it.

3 classes down, 2 more finals to go.
So far so good. I got an A for my photography portfolio!
the quiz wasn't that bad too; I was lucky i browse the handouts at the tinny minute.
and I made it through.
1/4 of apartment's checked out.

I can already smell the dust of jakarta.
hooraayy.

Dear Jesus Son of God,

Comcast cut my internet line off and now I have nothing but an apple without the stem. I can't get into MSN people, so... pardon me.

It's week 10 already,
and we're hitting Week 11 soon.
You know what it means(:

It's close to 9:30 pm and we're still in school,
waiting for our prints.
guess wont you for whose class it be.
OVERSTREET.
that damn asshole fucker is probably right now foreplaying with his gay partner
sipping wine like nobody cares.
*just another week, just another week.

FRIENDSTER'S GETTING TO LOOK LIKE MYSPACE NOW.

before you knew it, i'll be already home with mama.

I taught Jenn skateboarding yesterday.
We headed to Embarcadero center.
there was this golden retriever/shepard cross.
He's a beauty and a smart one, really smart.
Well, he's a therapy dog, so it was kinda obvious(:
They were going swimming how sweet.
It was a chilly afternoon and I didn't bring along a sweatshirt.
I felt stupid. we finally took a cab home.

Im in class right now, and we're about to crtique the final even poster.
i'll be sleeping well tonight.

an old man dies,
a young girl lives.
A fair trade.

ARGH. it's sunday and I hate it hate it hate it.
Sunday was supposed to be my happy happy rollerblading day.
but instead Im staying home instead.
Why must I be down for flu this time. It's been like what?!
6 months in SF and this is my first time for being sick.
DANG.

geez, i changed my research topic from first colonization to
a research on McDonald's. Everything you want to know about McDonald's is covered.
MHUAHAHHAA.
Im through with the paper, and im relaxing now.
Im hoping to get an A for college english.
Now it's left with photography homework.
Iv no idea...

i have to change my blogskin to something else.
i'll make use of my time today. (:

one and three.
the three of us finally skipped Electronic Layout class.
True enough, when i asked Joey about the class,
Overstreet wasn't in his very good mood anyway.
He curted, bitched with the students and it was hell one of an afternoon.
So, we made a good choice—there's no point attending his class anyway.
Good job.
At 3 I went to school to do some proctoring job.
Some sort of an invigilator.
I met Sarah, my co-proctor. She was really nice.
There wasn't much of work to do, in fact Sarah and I felt so relaxed and
killed the 2 hours by playing some text twist and cheese haunt.
One by one the new students came, took the tests,
and in about 2 hours, they were done with both tests.
Yana accompanied me to school.
What a cute girl—fell asleep in the library while waiting.
Good time inheritance.
hahahaa.

Last night we had dinner with Jenn, our neighbor down the hall.
It was probably the first time we dined together
although we bumped into each other almost a thousand time.
King of Thai again, but this time i got the beef.
We explored some 'hidden' restaurant behind apartment blocks,
we had fun. There was this Hidden Vine, a hidden winery...
the whole place was burried underground and the smell of alcohol were everywhere.
too bad I can't enter, though.

And hey, we caught Sin City in Jenn's apt.
Iv watched it with Yohan the other night so this time it's chicken.
We stopped halfway cos Jenn confessed her phobia on murders.
Geez, we were surprised then. Cos by looking at her tomboyness,
we always thought of her being a strong built girl.
but no ways. WE WATCHED ALADIN INSTEAD.
A good substitute, for I haven't caught that since what? a decade?
perhaps.
Jenn's orange tabby, Charlie tried to reach up for my twinky.
He's an obese cat but Jenn loves him more than anything else.
Well, who doesn't... Cute paws, Eyes that shimmer, purrs, mews, cuddles.

We had a goodd night.
but im down with flu.
so goodnight everyone.

My grandmutha passed away last morning 1 a.m
I can't possibly fly my way back to indo.
too far. it's not singapore.
Im here to send my condolences to her.
I will miss you, popo.
Be sure to be happy with your new life with kungkung.
And may you rest peacefully ever after. love you.

to go or not to go
to go or not to go
to go or not to go

That will be my question for the night.
I guess we are gonna miss tomorrow's lesson.
Im finally done with my withdrawal form.

David Overstreet, you are going down down baby.
Michelle Williams knew about this,
Nico knew about this,
Everyone in da neighborhood knew about you and your stupidity.
It's your turn now to crack your brain.
Think about it.

COS,

if you can't teach,
don't teach.
if you hate waking up for an 8 am class,
fuck off.
if you are a biased piece of shit,
scram outta our way.

i have to see what you gotta say about the stupid evaluation survey.
a 2, 3 and a 4 is much of a choice enough to think about you
retiring from teaching us students.
WE AINT GIVING YOU ANY SHIT AT ALL...

We don't learn,
We don't gain.
We don't enjoy
and that's my pain.
Where you always give us a 40 minute break.
It's your plain reason to suck cigarettes.
You're a FREAK.
and think that you're so cool to fool us.
you're nothing than a motherfucking gay.
if you wanna be gay,
better do something, loser.

It's Labor Day today.
"Dont leave your home with red"
whattajouck.

DAMN, ain't we supposed to hit the beach today?
What happened?
aww, i know, it's cos everything's due Tuesday.
in simple math, tomorrow.
Everyone else is having fun.
Bobby's hitting the beach with his guest,
Vanessa's flying to New Zealand tomorrow to snowboard.
and those working ppl, they're earning coocoo bucks!

Aside from this, where on earth does an event poster take up 10 images?
that's a milliinch to insanity.
flashback, tht would be my image manip finals.
im getting A plus. Im sure to be acing everything again this quarter.
oh really? dream awayy.
college english,
something towards research paper.
FUCK THAT!

Running with Scissors, you just have to keep me busy.

The park was awesome yesterday,
if it wasnt for the damn cold weather.
There wasn't heat for the entire afternoon.
(except in HA.) sheesh.
SO, finally, Im smoothing my backwards slides
with a few turns.
Yana's improving. Im so proud of her.
nows her time to learn T-break.
it's not tricky at all, yan..
nows yohans time to learn power slide.
he's supposed to practise on left right transition first, but insisted on powerbreak.
whatever.
"i promised not to powerbreak anymore. it hurts my shoe."
u kno what? I MISS EASTCOAST PARK..!
o yea, there was this few young men asking us to join in for a 15 mile blading.
all the way to ocean beach and down to taraval zoo then to park merced.
HOW RAD IS IT? im so into it if it wasnt for HA.

2 days without blogging... but im still keeping trackkk
9 tea, n more to go.
well well, im getting happier and happier.

i finally bought Running with Scissors
the book i always wanted.
oh ya, i worked again in borobudur. but just for a single day replacement.
not bad. i reeived $60 for the night.
+ i v to train a new staff.
thiings have gone smoothly so.
iv done 2 thirds of my homework so
my load is lighter.
i hope i can wake early tomorrow.
the park is waiting for uss....

2 when tea, 1 more to go to go to go to go.
YAY, Finally I was able to email Mdm Roziah.
I miss her so much and she misses me too.
Oh, that's no surprise. Everyone misses Rika.
hahhahaa. Im so bold yea...

Thursday again today.
Overstreet class was hell today,
as boring as usual though but we got our midterm back.
HEHEHHE....
I cant understand his grading system.
idiotix... there was an evaluation survey this morning.
all about him. yea, I didn kill him to the core.
but almost. I still have a heart you know.
BAHAHHAHA, overstreet you'll be down.

There was this sudden call from Marcel.
She felt really sick and couldn go for work
and there's no one to replace her.
poor mom... I HAVE TO REPLACE HER SOMEHOW.
So, there I was, in borobudur again,
workin as a waitress. WORSE, I have to train a new staff.
Then, Jennifer saw me fiddling with the display TV at the
front of the restaurant
and she was hella shock for she didn know I was working there.
but I stopped by her door and brought her a to go food after work.
she's too happy for that.
we chatted for an hour i guess.
So sleepy already. Its almost 2 now.

AVALONOBHILL, you're always a home to me, never a stranger.
Even if im moving away...

give thanks and praise for the 30 first...
2 when tea, 2 more to go

ENGLISH CLASS WAS DISMISSED EARLY TODAY!
hoorayy hoorayy. Perkins probably got tired of us,
and cut off as much time as possible just in order not to
look at our faces.
so anyway, during english class,
Yana and I played this horrible horrible truth game.
each of us has to write questions for each other.
So, we have to answer the questions truthfully.
there are some horrid questions, believe me.
STUPIDITY! hahhahahaa. it was fun, of course.
i got to extract her secrets today. (:(:

and also, another thing to be relieved about:
WE CONFESS TO NICO THIS NOON.
Listen to what he's got to say:

"ALL THE THREE OF YOU?! A WITHDRAWAL?!
WHERE'R YOU GUYS TRANSFERRING TO?

"..the Academy." we answered.
all my thought was, WHATEVARR

"WELL, THAT'S A GOOD SCHOOL, I SUPPOSE."
he answered back, fighting against his dropping tears.
he'd probably gonna lose a president list student and a honor list student.
that's it. so what? he's still got a loadful of em.

then as we walked away, Yana heard what she had to hear,
"I CANT BELIEVE IT! ALL 3 OF THEM ?!"
Well, there was Jon there at the scene.
So, he'd probably blabber everything to Jon as he distress upon his fury.

geez... i didn know this little thing is becoming larger and larger.
and soon the entire school would find out.
im excited!
let's see what would happen next-

Hey, people of 7th storey,
YOU JUST HAVE TO KNOW TO UNDERSTAND,
understand?

the thirtieth!
*STFU already, its the thirtieth!!

ooohhh hurry up, please leave the month of august!
leave this month and move along into september.
sounds better?
YES, September sounds better.
perhaps i shouldn get so napsu.
afterall, this could be a surprise for those ppl
back in jkt.
hehehhehehee....

so anyway, nothing much happened today.
just for the fact that the house got quieter now.
no more "mama's cooking for dinner tonight"
nope. no more. well, i cooked just now.
yohan's got to cook kangkung and i got to cook the corns.
guess what. yohan put excessive terasi into the kangkung and it got salty.
and now Im having too much salt intake.
OOWWW.
but it's ok. after all, everyone has been wrong.
but i havent?! hehehheee. whatevooo.
im just kidding... im too bold for this.
hey hey people!
labor day is coming, hooray!

LABOR DAY OR NO LABOR DAY, I HAVE MONDAY FOR A HOLIDAY.

twenty ninth.
i know what it means. you do as well.
mama's flying back today...
this home's likely to quiet down again.
*awww*
that sounds so bad, but i'll try to keep it down.
pardon me, up.

its been 3 nights of bedless dreams.
im getting used to it.
"wheres my stool?"
"wheres my mattress?"
"who cares?"
*hahaaa*

GODIVAirs me on.

icantwaitcantwaitcantwait.

NOW, here's a quote:
"have any of you ever encounter a feeling where you're kept waiting for something far away and suddenly its just there right before your eyes and you never felt so happy before thus you keep jumping joyously celebrating your victory and you never know that it's happening already then you keep wondering why when and how did it happened??"

well i have.

yoohooo! i managed to complete my homework.
what a good sunday afternoon.

its monday again tomorrow.
the start of the week, but i aint monday blues honey!
no school for me every monday. hooray to Rika!

It's the twenty eight now.
u know what that means.

the smell of quesadilla is hoverin'.
good aroma. im heating the leftover quesadillas from yesterday.
yumm. im hungry already?!
i just had a whole baked potato for lunch.
it was stuffing alright.
it was sooo GOOD.with the taste of butter and salt and bacon bits,
but im in for another quesadilla leftover.

so brb.

today is the twenty seventh.

jiggle to my rhyme.
whateva.

oo yea, we went on a house hunt today.
first one off to sunset area.
we found a few houses and they said to be an open house tomorrow at 2.
well, the houses here ranging around 600K-900K in sunset.
mostly a 2 bedroom.
and then there's this leasing townhomes in the villas parkmerced.
the buggiest townhomes ever. but i still like it.
because then i can rear dogs. big dogs.
then rollerblading path.
that is my heaven.
so anyway, after that we went to Daly city.
the houses there are meant to be cheaper.
but alas. we found this open house of 6 bedrooms and 3 bath and an open garden and a garage.
WALILEE...
its close to 900K what the hell.
yes, the house looks sweet as caramel but o man.
people... i need a home!
help...

public storage is helping us alot.
my stuffs are nestled there in lot 3110.
im surprised. our apartment is empty already! well, except for some necessities.
and hey! since our mattresses have been moved, we get to sleep on the carpet.
my back isnt working very welll with the carpet and the bedsheets.
last night, i had a strange dream. it started off with a really bad dream.
there's this divorced parents of one, whom the wife was expecting another baby.
when the baby was borned, both parents got divorced lawfully, thus abandoning their two children.
upon being independent, the elder child grew to love his baby brother so much that he had became protective.
and then somehow an insect, a bee most likely stung the baby right on the forehead.
he was struggling for survival and when his brother was about to seek help,
there was this dozen of bees attacking him, killing both boys.
i went off crying in my sleep. its hurtful to see the boys linger just like tht.
waiting for a miracle that somehow someone would take em with em.
i couldnt help it...
i was half conscious when i realized i was sniffing.
when i fell asleep again, i had another dream....
this time, it had me giggling my ass off. o_o! what a change!
anyway, so the dream went like this.
i was playing catch with my brother, kevin.
we were fleeing in the air, so free...
in the dream, both of us seemed so happy, no worries or anything.
so he was being 'it' and i was flying up and down to avoid him.
and so we finally landed on ground, and felt groggy cos it was really difficult to walk steadily after the flee.
its a fancy that i can experience a flyng sensation in my dreaam, huh!!!
hahhaaa.. and so, i continued running and running.
but he laughed so hard that it was almost impossible to run.
well, i had to laugh too. cos it was all too funny.
and so, i realized iwas again, laughing in my sleep.
yana mst be thinking how stupid i look laughing in my sleep.

aah, whatever. but all i knew was..
i miss my brothers so much.

justanothertwentyfivedays.

let the countdown start now.
today is the twenty sixth.
So, in exactly twenty seven days, everything will change.
the day, the time, the temperature, the atmosphere, the food, the people, the feeling, the everyday life.
everything everything. **LAUGHS

we went to fisherman's wharf today.
for my third time this time.
but this time it's different. i enjoyed myself so much.
maybe because we get to be the front standees.
I have always wanted that and i get it this time.
i appreciate it.

someday i'll buy a horse.
i'll grow old in a countryside and i'll build myself a ranch.
i'll have horses, dogs, and a few seagulls.
i dont mind another sealion.
and then, there'll be my truck. Dodge RAM 1500.
im having another hallucination, pardon me.

one, its like a dream come true.
two, just want to be with you.
three, boy it's plain to see,
that you're the only one for me.
four, repeat steps one through three.
five, make you fall in love with me.
If ever i believe my work is done,
Let us start back at one.

Mr Thursday is taking attendance right now.
Screw him didn call out my name loud enough!
i didn respond to him... its to my advantage that i sit towards the very end this morning.

we will continue our application for AA today after school.
I hope i get this cleared up for i dont have to fumble over that anymore.
oooo.
i have finally told my mum Im coming home for Fall.
and all the way towards christmas.
so glad so gladd.
she didn believe me at first.
whocares, no one believes me.
im going homme!

just hope tht i dnt get jetlag.

what a looongg weekend. school again tomorrow.
finally.

Indo day just over, i admit it, i work my ass off.
gila man!

oh yea, my mom in law is here.
with my brother in law too.
i miss them a lot. this is the cause of the long weekend.
i hope we really are going to seattle.
yay!

udah ah cape ngeblog. males.
gue nyambungin lagi besok

Happy Birthday to Jenn
Happy Birthday to Budi

I cant get enough of birthdays.
they are just fun fun fun.
I should in fact name it Funday.
and they'd be like,
"Hey, it's my funday today. Call me up, we'll go for a drink!"
How neat and spontaneous it would be.

Julius Caesar has finally ended for us.
at last thy turn shall see not again.
We finally tried the Tamales.
the Q wasnt too long then. we were lucky.
TAMALES IS SO GOOOD.
oh yea, yana and I bought kettle corns.
the best kettle corns evaaa. and of course we brought that up to Perkins' class.
you guys should know the true reason.

Im going to make a brochure for Haight Ashbury!
Im so excited.
Im trying to come up with a cool layout for this particular brochure.
hope everything turns out to be just fine. (:
.
.
.
.

"Im not as excited anymore."

I hate to say this
but indeed this is happening.
why cant the path intertwine the way we wanted?
All the things Iv thought about in the early past.
Its never ever coming true anymore.
Id bet that!

I really wanted what I had thought it would turn out to be.
and now I have to tag the rules.
i guess id better off enjoy the game.

chances will come in the near future.
would it or would it not.
I will never find out now.
nor im strong enough to think about
the consequences.

following up, the nick of time.
where there's something to hurry.
there are two things, in fact.
i know i will make it through.
in a successful way or another.

I want what i want...

i love the school street name already.

"lets say you're eating a hamburger, but you wouldn wanna meet the cow."

Stealth.

"Tinman, obey my orders."

"I want you to reformat Edi, erase his memories, and have him answer YES SIR. just like you answering me YES SIR."

Im tired tired tired.
this weekend was really bad.
I didn spend it well.
Or maybe because I couldnt do heck withit.
my english essay is still hanging.
to hell with Damien and all other s.store keeper.
whats with them keeping the book so long.
i dont have the book means i cant have my homework.
lucky thing i caught 2 movies this evening.
At least, that cheered me up a little.
else, I'd start a really hectic week.

I love the Island.
Jordan two Delta is stunning.
I'd want her.

I love Haight Ashbury

Perkins class yesterday was as boring as usual.
only this time there were 3 videos in a row.
Rashomon(the ridiculous movie), Interview with an executioner.
and Julius Caesar.
I love caesar. Thou thy shamd..whatthehell.
cant understand the way they speak with romans accent.
guess what. !
yana and me bought peaches (maybe plums) at the farmer's market and ate it in the restroom.
we had no choice, cos we had to wash and eat wash n eat.
thts y.

Fuck overstreet.
biased son of a bitch who wouldn give a care for Asians.
Damn that moron.

Happy Birthday Y.P

last night was a crazy night.
it was the pre celebration of yingpeng's birthday.
everything was just so saneless, i cant describe anymore.
blurry beer bottles hovered in my mind last night.
although i skipped the drinking session,
I was traumatised by the 'too much drinking' from them.

(thts the aftermath)

Before that, we had done more things.
more better things.
like, searching for houses in sunset neighborhood.
and dining at grant+jackson.
i love ducks.

then when everyone stepped into the KTV,
the 'too much drinking' started. yaaayy!
i had orange juice allll the way.
couldn possibly go into alcohol.
was too allergic for it.
thanks to my 'curiosity' on alcohol, for now i cant take it anymore.
but it's alrite though.
hahhaa, i learnt some new dice games.
it was so funny. Christina thought me 2 games.
whoever loses, drink. (as always)
but i drink orange juice.(as always)

then there's this crazy game. thought by christina again.
(the people of beijing sure knows lots of stuff)
That was pouring game.
by using beer, we poured as much beer as we wanted, turn by turn,
avoid overflowing. whoever overflowed the glass,
DRINK. . .

Tsk Tsk Tsk *Let's Boogie!*
(Hee Hee Ha Ha Ho Ho Ho)

Willy Wonka, Willy Wonka, the amazing chocolateer.
Willy Wonka, Willy Wonka, everybody give a cheer.
*YIPPEEEE!*
He's modest, clever, and so smart he barely can control it
With so much generosity there is no way to contain it...
to contain it...
to contain, to contain, to contain....
*splosh* ...EW.

Willy Wonka, Willy Wonka, he's a genius who just can't be beat.
A magician and a chocolate whiz.

!!the best guy you will ever meet!!
*pop* ...'Chewing gum is really gross. Chewing gum i hate the most.'
Willy Wonka here he isssssss!
*bonk* crash

Summer quarter has commenced and I feel like im so freshed out of boredom.
The new classes are much more superior compared to last quarter's.
and yes, they get tougher too.

So far so good.

Image Manipulation? smile awayyy

Typography? this one course i have always looked forward to.
but still, there's a need to learn the history and bla bla.

Photography? oh wow.. im having so much fun with that.
Bellisio is young and cool. She's just so hip and stuff and everyone likes her.

Electronic layout? Overstreet doesn't seem so bad anyway.
I wonder why people commented bad about him. He's just disciplined, gives good long duration break!

There's only one problem...
College English.
Russell Perkins is a nice man, old, crispy and as friendly as a chocolate stall vendor would be.
It's just that he speaks really soft, barely in the human audible range. He never looks up at us while talking (its believed tht he lost his confidence among students cos students had humiliated him before),
instead, he fumbles with his stuff, like putting on and off his wire-rimmed glasses and flipping his book on his desk.
He looks sad and indeed he's sad. Yohan said his wife died years ago and he's feeling depressed. He's making me sad just by looking at him.
I tried to concentrate and learn, I did, a little just a few minutes before i started to 'drift off' from the situation.
Everything just seemed so queer.
We're so not used to have an english teacher like that, Im sorry, Perkins.
I change my mind about changing class, I just want to give you a chance.
I know i will like you somehow.

-SU`05
School is starting!
yeaaayyy! finally.
i cant resist boredom, my lord.

It's my last day as a waitress today.
When i counted, I realized my dream.
Iv collected app. $300 of tips in a week.
im so apalled, in a good way though.
My mood clears up:) we're gonna watch

Im so blessed!

"lets pray hard for my quick-pick to be picked"

**thud, my head throbbed after that
oh well...

our new home: the Villas Parkmerced
cant wait for avalon's contract to end; this september
a townhome with 3 bedrooms is much cheaper than this 2 bedrooms apt.
It's a myth, i know. maybe it's the case of living in downtown.
just for the sake of walking to school!
but not for the sake that we have to accept fire brigade wails
EVERY SINGLE DAY EVERY SINGLE NIGHT.
it becomes our lullaby
...and additional to gunshots and frequent yells and fights.
we just can't get enough!

"praying hard for social security to arrive" damn it...
why do i get so nervous... damn the new rules for SSN

whuhooo... dined in Boulevard Cafe again last night.
had Quesadillas again for starters! ooh, the stuffings are just plain marvellous
got too full.. + have to watch some crazy banana phone clip in Rene's.
ppl, go watch it-> Banana Phone

EUCLIDesign Proposal

yesterday was the day i got my 4.0 gpa, was also the day i got my diarrhoea.

joking right?
no.
stomach upset.
unsure cause why.

Im alright now. maybe because of Ghirardelli ice cream last night.

*he heard gunshot last night..tadaaa daa tadaa

starry eyed surprise

I had my training today.
Just a little overview of how the things work in Borobudur.
Learnt numerous skills for the cash register.
Really have to memorize a lot of the stuff.
It was fun just now. I get to bring home beef fried rice. *haha
good cos i missed my lunch and i was starving.

I feel a lil relax now as i have just cleared things up.
Went to the indonesian embassy this noon.
have to extend my passport; expires next january else i can't go home to jkt!
Iv registered for my social security number too.
I'll be expecting it a week from now.
can't wait to get a california license.
really bad without an ID here.
People will think im an illegal immigrant or whatsoever.
scary thoughts

by the way;
Emilia! the popping and locking moves are pretty cool!
I checked it out in the net this morning and I think you will have fun
with those stuff!
see ya online~

It's Movie Marathon Day yesterday!

we watched Herbie,

then Batman Begins,

then StarWars Revenge of the Sith.

There's no way we gonna spend $10 just for a movie.

There's a couple of things happened this week:

1) Phil hired me as a tutor on campus for computer application.
(over the top. SSN:getting there)

2) Finals week.
(of course. spring is ending. aiming to get a GPA=4.0)

3) Got a replacement job for maya at borobudur restaurant for a week.
(neat! extra cash is never missed)

4) My dreams have been funny these days; frogs in my dream are never helpful; movie making in my dream is fairly impossible.
(creepy)

5) My throat is burning.
(i can't track the cause of this situation. It drives me mad; BIG time)

6) Disneyland trip for summer is cancelled.
(Reason why? It costs $100 for the main gate. It's a total nono. I can seriously spend tht $100 for something worthfull)

7) Adobe CreativeSuit2 costs only $350 at journeyed.com!
(Is that a joke? NO of course not! We've purchase it)

8) Mum called 4 times in 2 days.
(this never happened. even when i was in Singapore)

9) Yohan was hit by bird droppings 2 times in a week.
(that disgust the hell out of me)

10) 2 great movies coming up : BATMAN BEGINS, THE WAR OF THE WORLDS.
(how raddd!)

We had the longest, farthest, most tiring, and best hiking experience.
a walk from downtown to the golden gate park. What a joke!
anyone would think we're crazy to walk such a distance.
But, we did it. this morning.
HELL! It was so cool! Terry met us at 8.30 sharp and we started off by
having the best pastries in pine + laguna. It was really delicious. Terry always recommends
the best thang on the entire planet.

Then, all the way to haight Ashbury.
Some 'hip downtown' with shops along the street.
Awesome shops i can say.
Turntables, graphic tees, print parlor, restos and caffs.

Then we passed by this park, terry named it "the creepy park."
This particular park has been always filled with drug traffickers and
sex activities going on. So, beware.
Anyway, Gay Day is coming. and i heard the parade will
stretch to Castro and tht park..
hmmmmm...

So, we reached the park... finally.
We visited lawn bowling. The grass is really firm and smooth.
GOD.
Then the botanic garden. hella spacious.
we got kinda lost actually. Supposed to exit from the garden and reached the boating place.
But somehow tht didn't happen.
so, we gotta turn back and walk from the other side.
complicated i tell u... furthermore, there's a frog.
That disgusting thing never gonna get into my interest.
and yay.. we reached the lake...
We rowed the boat around and there's this tunnel of love.
nice setting, believe me:)

We got Korean food and russian candies for lunch.
Sweet isnt it.
So good, the taste doesn go.
Then there's this bookstore down by clement.
Again, another one of terry's recommnendation.
The bookstore that never sleeps.
All kinda books from homo art to not-so-pretty kitties.
They are just soo amazing.

Santa Clara was a BLAST! it was a fantastic weekend...my dream has finally reach its end.
not yet.. not till six flags comes around..
anyway, we planned a neat vacation on friday.
We decided to go to PARAMOUNT's GREAT AMERICA!!!!!!!! and we DID.
so, the 7 of us made it to sunnyvale by caltrain and it was yes, a 1hr boring trip.
there's nothing to do in the train, really except watching rene flirting with christina and sunny(yea!!!)
there's this hotel van supposed to pick us up from the station. he was a little late, but it was alrite. every1 forgave him..
THEN, the GREAT AMERICA ADVENTURE beginsss...


my first ride was The Grizzly.
The Grizzly wasn't scary at all. it was jus a normal wooden train which goes really fast up and down the track and there was no loop or twist. So, it was really mild. I kinda took a video while on it:) (siippp)

Rene happened to get onto the ride earlier, so he joined the Ravi and Sunny and went in line for INVERTIGO (man, i love this ride) WITHOUT US!!!!! so, we were stranded and checked on other rides.

2nd ride was River Rafting.
This one was really fun. It's a family ride, for sure cos its nothing to the core too. Its where we got on this 'raft boat' and it'l just go up a track and down a slide and we got wet. not too wet... jus a 10% , i guess.

After this, we got back with Rene and the other two.

3rd ride was The Demon.
this ride is our first thrill ride. A rollercoaster with black and red tracks(COOL!!!) with 2 consecutive loops, 2 consecutive twists. there are caves built at some parts of the track. and some water splashes.


4th ride was the Pirate Ship.
This is one of my most favourite thrill rides.
This one has a funny part. when christina and ravi decided not to get on, Sunny and us left them behind and stayed in line for the ride. It was until we were next in line, Sunny then realised something different about this ride than the normal boring pirate ship ride. THIS ONE GOES AROUND 360 DEGREE!!!!! HOW COOL WAS THAT! i think it's really AWESOME! i never got onto that ride before. it was really funny when Sunny shouted " I miss Ravviiii... " but too late, we forced her to get on tht ride. (hahaha!!) So, the ship will stop a few second, leaving us hanging in the air, my blood was so rushing into my head at tht time..! GOSH..


5th ride wasnt really a ride. It's the WATER PARK!
Despite the cold weather, rene, yohan and me got onto the løngest slide and slided down (duhh) it was really cold, we admitted.. especially the water.. who cares?! i even peed after i slided. IM NOT EMBARRASSED! hahaa!!
then, there's this enormous bucket at the top part of the water park. It will continuously filll water and then splashed down at everyone. fun fun fun...
Whilst the 3 of us were in the water park, Yana, Sunny and Ravi got onto Derilium.. a super cool ride.. These guys, they didn join us in the water park fun. cos they didn wanna get wet. (wasteddd)

6th ride was TOP GUNN!!!!
Top gun was so cool and everyone get on together.. (this is the first ride where everybody get onto the same train)
This thrill ride was different than any rollercoaster. there was no platform and the loops and twists were inverted... and the train goes faster than any other roller coaster. It's supposed to resemble a jet plane from the movie after its name, TOP GUN.
i love this ride.. this is another of my favourite.. and this is the thrill ride which makes me dizzy. (finallyyy!!)

7th ride was The Carousel
Kiddy ride yea! a double storey carousel . Real vintage. I was eating what they calld (Future Ice cream) on tht ride. hahha..
nothin much. less description here.


8th ride was VORTEX!!!
Another one of my favourites. Thrill and more Thrill!!! this rollercoaster is different too. who's allowed to STAND on rollercoasters? This one does! we stood up all the way during the loops and the twists..Imagine tht... Standing up on a rollercoaster. How cool is tht! it was an experience! Rene hurt his 'winner' during tht ride.. hahhahaa (loser)

9th ride was the LOGGER RUN
This is another family wet-splash-fun ride. It was hell biased! when yana, sunny and ravi got onto 1 log and yohan, rene, christina and me in another... OUR LOG WAS drenched worse than theirs. We believed that this is caused by the heavy weight!
Hella COLD! but i enjoyd this alot..


final ride was supposed to be the RAPIDS, another wet ride.. but damn it was already closed when we got there. what luck!

EXIT

we kinda lost the way during our walk to IN n OUT, the most delicious burgers in california.. (this is what ppl said)
yea.. ccos of tht indulgence, we kinda got lost and had to walk along freeway 101...the route back to san francisco. HAH!
shit situation like this.
then after a really long walk, and my leg and back and waist and ass got hurt... i noticed this heavnly hole in the middle of somewer. This is how a prisoner escaped from cell feels like. Damn the fences.

I love you, sayang!

This week has been awesome!
Firstly i received full credit for my design and english class, plus a 100% for English quiz.
Yes, it was easy... it's all about It's Its There They're Their. See? Simple? yes...

Then, the foremost thing happened today.
We received a $100 rebate from T-mobile each.
I was so excited in spite of the different referred name.
So, anyway, i got the $100 and we actually went shopping:)
Yohan bought himself this really cool Rusty shorts.
Yana got her mum a nike vacation bag from nike town.
Everything seemed faint until everybody asked what am i getting for myself.
"Im gonna build a board."

"WHAT?!, U sure?!" "A sweater is prior."

"HAHA. no.. yea..i miss skateboarding."

And so i built the deck. I was soooo excited.
There was this offer in the boardshop-$89 for everything.
And i get to choose any brand indeed...:):)
Of course i chose the pricey black panther bearings, GirlSkateboard Trucks, Pig Screws and the newest Flip wheels in town.
it should cost a full $140 but cos of the offer... i went home satisfied.

Tomorrow is gonna be fun!
Jon and Vanessa will be meeting us to go to this big carnival with fireworks.
Its in the Pier... so, its gonna be totally beautiful.
I hope it wont rain tomorrow.

this sucks.
im totally out of it.
firstly there's this demonic design assignment on fashion.
that thing itself could devour my interest in one microminute.
so... lets just take it for example..
Im in graphic! not fashion. dumbarse.. y shud i have to sew n style some manequinn.
its really yucky.
plus its such a big project and yet we'r only given a week to complete that.
For God's words...i have plenty more assignments to complete instead of jus one.

And fuckin days...
i hate to say it but its really hurtful to be controlled.

ahh whatever~

Midterms jus over.
Guess what? im happy. im willing to get hook on a job in campus.
but heard tht chances are tight. so its really frustrating.
Thanks to my inside track coach for guiding my path and academic focus.

Anyway, got my internet today.
As being so happy i can get, Im still hanged.
Adobe is not installed into my mac yet as well as microsoft office.
Frustrating really.
I chat with Pat the other day and she refreshed my memories of class 04
not really the whole class though.
But its more to our 'side'
yea..we used to play alot. i mean alot. even during lesson. i miss tht.
itsnt until nex year i'll be able to see them.
miss u guysss..
and also... my juniors- Emilia and friends whom we got pretty close at the end of 2004.
These girls. they are so lovable. and they love to gossip:) thnks alot.
we shud chill out again. how i wish we were interconnected during the school years.
tht'l blast.

These days, Ive been so enthu in school and everything
i guess its time for me to take a break.

I need a vacation. but this wont be accomplished until after i finish my third quarter.

EFESUS.

What's Efesus? As everyone can see, its the topic of the quarter.

ok. here goes.

EFESUS=FS's=Fundamentals=Basic Classes=Fundamentals in Design & Drawing.

Now, isnt it just too great to attend these classes in my first quarter.
yea of course it is............ MY ASS
well, i shouldn't say anything cos anyway i have to take it to
earn full credits. but its a total waste of time. Especially the class on
student success. Why on earth i have to take it for? damn, it doesnt even
do me any favour of interest. but benefits? Of course. part-time on-campus jobs?Maybe.
I really think i should grab a job on-campus or something. c'mon, face it.
A minimum payment of $8.50/hour is irresistable. who doesnt? a geek maybe.
But crap, we cant work like, mmm full 20 hours per week. and believe it or not, we need a GPA of 2.0
or more. thats it.
HAHA. big joke.
i really gotta change my way of life.
hafta really focus on projects. im hunting for As.
u guys who once knew me n my lazy being/ naive being might be crying out loud.
but tht's me. im changing, big time.
especially when mid terms are in the way now.

phoohh.

in most circumstances,

human beings usually

Hear to half of what is being said
Listen to half of what is being heard
Understand to half of what is being listened
Believe to half of what is understood
Remember to half of what is believed

so, doesnt that prove on how our brain captures information?
it has got such small RAM.

ok, here's a million dollar question:

What is the world's statistic of the number of computers in 2005?


Try searching for it and tell me ASAP.
I almost died typing the hell out thru search engines.

First day of school.
So far so good.
Having Computer Application now...
This class is full of crap. its fun though...learning about ppt, words, dreamweaver..
blabla.. all the things that are soooo general.

anwyay. there's an internet access in every pc n mac labs.
that's good news. i love this school.
damn!

but too bad there's still eng class...

San Francisco Times

Its been GREAT!

Im feeling so gayful whilst settling down in this city.
The downtown is really AWESOME! Union Square!
There's LEVI's building, NIKE town, Cheesecake Factory,
Mac Store-for free internet (thats wer i am now..hehe)
There's chinatown, japan town, streets of different countries' delicacies...

Whats best is that...
Handphones here are for free if we sign up for a line. and its not expensive at all.
its $49.99/mth and i got myself the newest nokia in town. tht's good news.
and the weather!!! the breeze here is superb (you wouldnt wanna get off the bed every morning) with marvellous, non-pollutant vehicles. AND less, i mean... really less motorcycles. good news.

I miss Singapore,

I miss everything old even though a prototype event is coming up.
I realised this stupidity and tried to shift.

This afternoon I cleaned up the turtles' tank in my backyard.
Hoof. whatta smell, spent an hour doing that before i hurried to the mall to get some fruits. my body has lack of vitamins cos i found myself breeding flaghms in my throat and alll the way thru my osoephagus towards my lungs.
Now then i realised hows the feeling of death.
