All I Wanna Do..

I'm so happy right now. Finally I can really go to Melbourne, yeay! Just booked the ticket yesterday, and I was lucky enough to get the what-so-called cheapest rate. So I'll be departed on August 5th, and come back on 12th. During my visit, I'll stay in my brother's apartment, for free. Purrrrfffeecccctt =D

Mira has suggested me some best spots in Melbourne that I should go to. Collins St, Ballarat, Pancake Parlour, Cupcakes *forgot the name*, Cocoa Black, Max Brenner, Giant Wheel, Flagstaff Garden, etc, etc.. Aaaawww I can't wait! This is my first time going on a holiday by myself (without my parents around), so I'm really really excited. This time, my holiday will be all about taking pictures, food tasting, and probabbly shopping. Aheahhaehaha.. How fun is that?

Its not all about the 'fun' things, though. My brother's apartment is misserable. No bed, no tables and chairs, no tv, no internet, no microwave, no fridge. He moved in last month and got really busy with his work, so yeah, its quite understandable for me. BUT! I gotta try my best to make it look more homey and more livable before my Papa and my Mama coming on the 18th. 'Cause if they see how my bro lives in his 'home', they'd be so deep in shock their jaws would dropped down to the floor. Not good, not good..

So I guess I should rush him to Ikea or whichever affordable furniture store is around. Or even try eBay. Eheehehe. Well, well, well... Just hoping my brother will have a spare time for me and furnishing his apt.

Hohoho. It's 6 days to go!

Strawberry and Kiwi.

Trying to eat healthily and more responsibly :)

Joseph Ashton Circus.

Finally we actually watch this cisrcus show, a super sweet treat from my superboii :)

The show was amazing. I was so overly excited to see the cute animals (dogs, ponies, and even goats!) and many other acrobatic attraction by the performers (clowns and those girls with elastic body?).

One thing that amazed me the most was the cute little boy who seemed to be the centre of the stage, whenever he came out. He's around 2 years old, and sooo extremely cute! He's the third left on the picture. I surely enjoyed the show. Thank you my boy!

Saturday.

Hari sabtu. Tadi gw sengaja bangun siang banget, jam 11. Haha. Udah kebangun dari jam 8an sih. Tapi maksa tidur lagi soalnya nggak tau mau ngapain jg kl keluar kamar.. Akhirnya sekitar jam 9.30 gw keluar karena denger Wendy sama Odri pada ngobrol2. Abis ikutan ngobrol bentar, gw masuk kamar lagi.. tidur.

Bangun2 main internet, abis itu sikat gigi & cuci muka. Trus langsung turun bikin EasyMac. Makan itu buat brunch, pake keripik korea. Enak. Pas lagi makan, anak2 pada mulai nylaian dvd Radit & Jani. Yaudah, gw ikutan ntn deh. Rada cheesy sih filmnya, tp gw smpt nangis dikit. Hehehe..

Dan sekarang ini udah jam 3.20 pm gw masih berpiyama. Abis ini mau mandi deh, trus belanja buah ke Woolworths depan rumah. Nanti malem juga nggak ada rencana tuh. Hari ini judulnya bener2 totally at home :)

Sepertinya gw pun nggak jadi ke Melbourne. Padahal udah ngajak temen2 ketemuan, udh ngatur tanggal. Untung belom beli tiket. Abis gw stress sih belom dapet2 kerja. Kalopun gw kesana, mungkin weekend doang dan itu blm tau kapan. Di satu sisi, perasaan gw tuh nggak enak kl liburan seneng2 tapi blm dapet kerja. Di sisi lain, kl udah dapet kerja, nanti nggak bisa liburan. Padahal udh dari lama banget gw pengen ke Melb. Udah hampir setahun nggak ketemu adek gw.. Huhu.

Besok sih rencananya gw mau ntn sirkus sama superboii. Nggak tau jg tuh sirkus mulai jam berapa. Kita go-show aja kesananya. Yah untung2an lah. Kl dapet ya sukur, nggak yaudah.

Pengen Melbooouuurrrnnneeeee.

Primbon.

Hehehe lagi iseng, gw buka2 website primbon. Gw penasaran aja sama karakter gw kl diliat dari tanggal lahir, hari lahir, dll. Gw lahir 29 January 1987. Ini dia hasilnya:

Berdasarkan tg lahir:
- Memiliki kemampuan unik utk menyatukan pihak2 yg berbeda dan dapat menengahi masalah kerja atau masalah perbedaan agama.
- Punya kekuatan besar, yang bisa digunakan either utk membawa kehormatan atau kehancuran bagi diri sendiri dan orang lain.
- Berlaku ekstrem dalam segala hal.
- Hebat dalam cinta dan penilaian (aha!).
- Rumah penting bagi kebahagiaan gw, tp gw suka murung dan tidak mudah hidup bersama gw (oh no..).
- Terlalu terpaku pada mimpi, aspirasi dan rencana.

Berdasarkan hari (kamis):
- Pendirian tidak tetap.
- Suka dipuji.
- Mudah emosi.
- Mudah terbujuk rayuan halus.
- Tidak sabaran.
*surprisingly, semuanya bener*

Berdasarkan bulan:
- Tenang dan berwibawa.
- Suka terus terang, tdk suka basa-basi.
- Pandai menyimpan rahasia dan bisa dipercaya.
- Disukai banyak orang karena selalu keliatan ceria.
- Mandiri dan tidak suka minta bantuan orang lain.
- Pandai mengatur keuangan.

Apakah gw orangnya bener2 seperti itu atau nggak? Well, you tell me =P

My Heart is Full.

Life is full of choices... and uncertainty.

Trouble Sleeping.

I can't sleep. I can't sleep.
Counting sheeps might help?
Any idea, anyone?

Emm. I prefer to spill out my today's activity than counting sheeps. Hehe. Me and superboii actually had plan to see a circus show near Carousel this morning. I was so excited until we found the banner "NO SHOW TODAY" at the main entrance. Shoot. Just not my luck, I guess.

Full of disappointment, we continued our search for a laptop repair centre. Superboii's laptop is not working (blackout on the screen). There are only few around Perth and we end up with rejection from here and there, because the only only one who can repair the laptop is the manufacturer. And as far as I can remember, I've never seen Compaq/HP's rep around here. Ugh.

Disppointment + disappointment = bad mood.

After that, we headed to Bentley because I need to buy meat(s) to stock up my fridge. And then he drove me home, and he left. Just like that. At home, I tried to get busy with applying for jobs through SEEK.

The only thing that has successfully lifted up my mood is probably the dinner with Rangga, Gandes, Fyke, Vely and Aqid. I had fun, really. I just met them two days ago actually.. But they're very friendly and fun to be with. Hehe.

Kay then. I'm going to sleep now. Good night, anyone!

The Dinner.

Aha! My superboii is finally back in Perth! Owh I missed him so much. Too bad that he touched down on Friday, when the weather was awful. The wind blows like 100km/hour, so you can imagine how frustrating his flight was. Its worse than riding a rollercoaster, he said.. Hehe.

Yesterday, he took me out to dinner in Izumi Japanese Rest. And here's some snap of the food,, yummy!

Salmon Teriyaki

(hiks, the only pict I could upload)

New Friend - Old Friend

I just chatted with an old friend. Well, not an "old friend" old friend, we went to the same junior high but never hang around or even talked to each other those days. Maybe that's because we never been in the same class. But he somewhow listed on my friend-list in FB.

So he greeted me through FB chat, told me that he met my brother today (he resides in Melbourne). As the conversation goes, I realized that I couldn't recall anyting about him at all. Its funny that he recognized me back then. And it made me feel bad that I should honestly said that I had no idea who he was. I think the only reason why he recognized me is because I was bestfriend with the most popular girl in school. Haha.

I told him that I'm planning to visit my brother in Melbourne next month, and he promised to be a tour guide during my visit. So I asked for his number, and misscalled him. Guess what? He said he was surprised that my name appeared in his screen when I called. Weird, eh? I never talked or chatted with him so how did he get my number? Is that the latest technology or what??

We chatted for more than an hour, it feels like I was chatting with a long-lost friend. Felt like I was talking to someone I knew for years, and its funny because technically we haven't met. So I'm kinda excited to meet this 'old friend'.

Owh I can't wait to see my brother in Melbourne, and stroll down the city with a pocket camera to capture its best spots. And I'm gonna meet some old friends in there too: Mira, Emon, Sari, and Yesa. Yeay!!

Gossip Girl Fever.

I might be the latest person to find out how cool Gossip Girl is. As part of W's influence, I got so much into it I watched all the episodes from season 1 in 2 nights. Here's are some of my favourite quote:

Blair Waldorf (to Jenny): "If you wanna be part of this world, Jenny, people will talk. Eventually, you gotta decide if all this is worth it."

Chuck Bass: "I'm.. Chuck Bass"

Dan Humphrey: "When prince charming found Cinderella's slippers, they didn't accuse him of having a foot fetish"

Rufus Humphrey: "You already lost my trust. And now you're gonna lost my respect too."

And my favourite scene is when Dan told Serena all the reason why he loves her. Aaaww. That was just super romantic! When a guy come to you and says "I love you", you should ask him what makes him loves you, because you want to believe him. If he couldn't give you the answer, then he's just not that into you. Am I right?

(Not So) Boring Jakarta - Part 4

Udah direncanain dari jauh-jauh hari nih, berhubung Faizul (temennya si pacar dari Kuching) lg liburan di Jakarta, gw sama si pacar mau nemenin dia jalan2 ke PIM. Skenarionya: si pacar nganter bokapnya ke kantor - jemput gw - jemput Faizul - ke PIM. Dan dia pagi banget yaa dateng ke rmh gw jam 9.20! Hahahaha, biasanya jam 9.30 gw baru bangun..

Yaudah, abis itu kita langsung ke Sari Pan Pacific jemput Faizul, dan memberikan sekotak kue2 dari mamaku buat dia. Langsuunngg ke PIM. Sampe PIM masih pagi, jam 11 kurang. Masih sepii banget. Trus kita muter2 aja mondar mandir dari PIM 1 - PIM 2. Gw beli setrikaan di Ace Hardware. Faizul shopping. hihi. Abis itu langsung laper, makan deh di food court.

Jalan-jalan lagi, capek lagi. Akhirnya ngopi di Regal, di ruangan yg smoking room ya ampun pulang2 badan gw bau rokok semua. Singkat cerita, kita pulangnya misah, si pacar jemput bokapnya ke kantor, gw dijemput supir, sekaligus nganter Faizul ke Senayan City karena bokap dan adenya dia msh disana. Lucunya, pas di mobil kan ada lagunya Yovie Nuno yang "Dia Milikku", si Faizul afal lho.. Hahaha, dia yang dari Sarawak afal lagu indo sementara gw baru pertama kali denger lagu itu.

Pulangnya rada macettttt. Biasaaaa Jakartaaa :(
