Brown Hair.

Out of curiousity and was looking for fun, I dyed my hair brown. The box says the colour was "Auburn", which I assumed would turn my black hair into very dark brown (and pictures shows that too). But the actual result was surprising, my hair turned to LIGHT brown now. Oh nono.

ps. I hope my bf wouldn't get mad.

Story of a Last-Minute Person.

Done with PR final report (with a generous help by missicality), I am now preparing the Business Capstone presentation. Helloo, we're going to present our company's strategy next week in the middle of study week *sigh*.. But its okay, its really fine by me, I enjoy it actually.. *finger crossed*. Haha.

Yesterday when I did the finishing touch for PR final report at uni, I got unlucky many-many times. Its like I did too many stupid mistakes, and the fact that I always being clumsy when I got struck by a panic attack does not help at all. Me and wendy even almost got stuck in the elevator. Uh, just not my day, I guess. But seriously, when I did the multiple-stupid-mistakes and experienced too many bad-lucks, I really felt like I was doing scenes for Dono Kasino Indro the movie.. Now you can imagine how was my day like, can you? Hehehhe. The lesson to learn here is: DON'T BE A LAST-MINUTE PERSON.

And now the only thing I need is my 8-hours beauty sleep :P
Happy Weekend, everyone !!

Again, Thank You Mira Pangkey =D

Capshit.

This is the sequence of my expression when I was doing my Reflections Paper for Business Capstone. I myself have no idea about what i wrote in my paper! Haha! It worths 20%, due this morning, and I was started to doing it last night (just few hours before its due). Laazzzyyyyy...

Anyway, I was all-smiled this morning because...... (insert dramatic drum roll here)..... our Capstone group got the highest mark in class! We got full mark! 35 out of 35 !! YEAYYYY. I did not contribute as much as my group mates did, though.. But this one's probably the highest group achievement for all my life... Err, or maybe its just me being over-reacted, heee..

Current activity: Finishing touch PR 393 Report.
Current mood : HAPPY.

Just My Thought.

Oh.. I really feel like I have to talk to somebody right now :/

Next Plan.

I'm going back to Jakarta next month! I'm not sure if I have to be happy or what. Cause honestly, the only two reasons why I decided to go back are: I have a return ticket valid until December 2008 (and I won't be able to go back home after June), and I want to see my parents. Its been a while, yeah.. Truth be told, its kinda boring to spend the whole 4 weeks in Jakarta. Here, I can go anywhere I want, with whoever I want, anytime. NO CURFEW.

In Jkt, I have to get permission for this and that, not allowed to go out until late, always have my driver waiting for me if i wanna go shopping and meeting friends. Uugh. Thats boooorrriinnggg. And I can't drive there cause I can't stand the traffic. Plus, I'd rather spend a lot of (my parents') money in there, while I can earn some money here during the holiday. Regarding to economic theory, it called Opportunity Cost. Hehehehe..

My brother will be working in Melbourne this August. So I probably will visit him on around September. Yeay! I love Melbourne! Gonna meet Mira and Emon there! Hehehe.. Hopefully my parents will allow me to go..

Next plan, I need to get a job. I mean, a SERIOUS full time job. And that's not easy, at all. So I guess I'll try my best. I have to. Not only try to find a suitable job for me, but also try to be able to stepping outside my comfort zone.

2008 is like a tipping point for me. From student to career woman (i wish!), from spending money on education to earning money to support my own life. Ooh what a huge difference! But as Ryan says, "you gotta have to try! don't be spoiled!". Yeah he's right ;P

Hehehe.

What is Love?

Gw barusan mikir2 deh.. Sebenernya sayang itu datengnya darimana sih? Dan karena apa sih?
Contoh, sayang seorang ibu ke anaknya kan seperti tumbuh begitu aja tanpa ada alesan yg jelas. Kalo ditanya, mungkin si ibu akan bilang, "aku sayang anakku ya karena dia anakku..". Itu jawaban yang gampang banget, KALO anaknya baik dan berbakti sama orangtua. Terus, gimana kalo anaknya itu jahat, pembangkang, suka ngelawan orang tua, kasar sama ibunya.. Apa mungkin kasih sayang dari si ibu itu akan hilang begitu aja?

Kalo gw, jujur gw sayang sama orang tua gw ya karena gw ngerasa mereka udah melakukan banyak hal utk gw, mereka ngasih banyak kesempatan utk gw berkembang, mereka sabar, mereka banyak berkorban utk anak2nya, dan seribu-satu alesan lainnya yang nggak bakal abis kl disebutin.

Gimana kalo dari kecil gw dibuang dan nggak dirawat orang tua gw? Rasanya mustahil gw bisa ngerasain sayang seperti ini ke mereka kan?

Contoh lain, orang pacaran, atau suami-istri. Err, contohnya Brad Pitt sama Angelina Jolie deh. Brad ganteng, Ange cantik. Perfect match. Tapi dibalik itu semua, mereka pasti punya banyak kesamaan dalam banyak hal, misalnya karakter atau kebiasaan atau pola pikir dan sudut pandang. Lha, terus kalo salah satu, misalnya Brad, tiba2 amnesia, terus karakternya berubah drastis (dari baik jadi nggak baik), apa iya Ange bakal tetep sayang? Kalo iya, kenapa bisa sayang??

Terus soal fisik. Katakanlah Brad Pitt udah tua, jadi gendut abis kayak babon. Pendek pula. Botak. Apa Ange tetep masih sayang sama dia? Nah sekarang kl dua2nya digabung: perubahan fisik + perubahan sifat. Then Brad's becoming a totally different person, apa perasaan Ange ke dia akan tetep sama seperti sebelumnya?

Kekurangan fisik memang nggak se-penting kekurangan karakter, pastinya. Even Gabrielle masih mau sama Carlos walaupun dia buta permanent. Lalu kalo karakter pasangan kita atau orang tua kita berubah jadi jahat, apa iya kita bakal tetep sayang? Kalo iya, alesannya apa?

This question will remain unanswered, I guess...
Ehehehe..

Grey's Anatomy.

Just found out that I could watch the complete season 4 of Grey's Anatomy on Youtube!
Yeaaayyy!! Been watching the first four episodes and I'm about to watch the 5th episode. Channel 7 is currently playing this season 4 but I missed some of its first episodes. I got lost. I hope Meredith and Derek will get along well and get married someday. McDreamy is H-O-T (even though McSteamy is a lot sexier..) !!

Owh, I don't really like Izzie and her love story with O'Malley. She's rather selfish, and that makes me feel more sympathic with Cally Torres. Owwhhh I love love this shooww..

More.

Winter Coat !!

This is DEFINITELY my kind of winter coat!

I still however have some things in mind:

Pros - i LOVE the classic-yet-stylish model, i love the way it fits me, its warm,

comes with hoodie and pocket as well. Good quality.

Con - too pricey :(

I think I'll go for it. Tomorrow, definitely!

Yeaaayyy..

*i can't wait, i can't wait!*

Today's Quote.

If you make the right decision based on the wrong reason, it could be a wrong decision.

Just Feel Like Writing.

Poooff. Udh lama nih nggak ngeblog. Pengen nulis sesuatu tapi apa yaa.. Ini gw lg pake laptop baru lhoo.. Karena yg lama udh hampir almarhum (tapi akhir2 ini kok jadi bener ya tuh laptop?). Jadi ya gitu deh, masih kurang familiar sm Vista. Tp gw suka banget laptop ini. Warnanya putih! Trus layarnya lebar jadi asik kl buat ntn DVD. Tapi sayang speakernya cempreng *menurut gw*. Dan internal bluetooth nya kok msh unable to connect ke hp gw ya? Mungkin gw blm ngerti cara setting nya kali..

Anyway, tadi siang gw kerja. Kalo hari Jumat gw seneng deh kerjanya, managernya lucu soalnya. Hehe. Dan nggak pelit, gw boleh ngambil2 minuman apa aja terserah. Ambil makanan juga boleh. Trus kalo gw minta bantuin macem2 dia pasti cepet bantuinnya. Nggak kayak manager yg ibu2 itu yang suka lelet kerjanya.. Hehehe..

Lalu lalu.. Bsk sabtu! Mau ngapain yaa enaknya.. Kemaren sih rencananya mau ke city sama wendy, tp blm tau jadi apa nggak.

Sekarang ngapain ya enaknya? Tidur aja apa? Si superboii katanya mau kesini nerusin ntn DVD yang kemaren, tp kok di sms nggak ada jawaban dan dipanggil di YM juga nggak nyaut ya. Hmm, pasti dia ketiduran deh.. Apa gw tidur juga aja? Hehehe..

Have a wonderful weekend everybody !

God Please Stop the Rain..

I was in the middle of my assignment, when I heard the rain drops outside. Then it was getting heavier and heavier. Its getting cold, too. So I turned on my heater, and felt the warmth crawling up from my feet to my hands. "Hmm, it feels so good," I thought.

Without any purpose, I was peeking out of my window, just to see how heavy the rain was. And then I spotted a guy walking slowly on the sidewalk of the main road. He was tall, skinny, wearing a light jacket. With no umbrella, no raincoat. And even from the distance, I could see him shaking, cold. Oh my God.. I was stunned.

I was somehow feel so sad. I imagined, what if my dad, my brother, or my boyfriend was that guy? Well, this guy probably just unlucky not to bring his umbrella or raincoat when its needed. But imagining my loved ones being him, walking alone in the middle of the rain, in the middle of the night.. I don't know.. I can't describe how I felt.. I literally felt a huge pressure on my chest.

So I kept watching this guy. He stopped walking. And suddenly turned his head to me, looking at me. Or maybe I thought he was looking at me (we were like.. 100 meters away). So I smiled. Not smiled at him, I just smiled I don't even know why.

And then the rain stopped. Just like that. STOPPED.

Thank God..

Trouble Sleeping.

Eh eh, entah kenapa tiba2 sakit leher gw udh berkurang lhoo. Mungkin gara2 pijatan maut si superboii (maut apanya, orang cuma semenit gitu..), hihi. Tp ya udh mendingan lah, walaupun blm ilang sama sekali sih..

Udh jam 1.45 am tp gw blm ngantuk. Padahal bsk musti bgn pagi lho jam 8an gitu. Males bgt kan kl jam 8 lg enak2nya tdr tiba2 udh musti bgn.

Oh iya, mau cerita ah tadi gw nemenin Wendy ke airport jemput Adi & Evelyn dari Sydney. Kocak banget denger cerita Adi tentang train nya Sydney yang kayak kaleng kerupuk segede gaban. Hahaha.. Trus, harpers dioleh2in abon sama Krispy Kreme :)
Makasi diiii, eveeee... Kasian mereka kayaknya capek banget sampe pada sakit flu gitu. Tp asik lah yaa weekend-an nya seru kaan..

Pas sampe rmh adi, disambut Raisa dan si homeless Mendi. Wakakaka.. piss menn.. Potong rambut yuk potong rambut.. *ini cuma mendi yg ngerti.. haha*.

Okelah, gw mau berusaha tidur aja. Sampe besok kawan-kawan, gudnite !
(-.-) zZzZ...

Hari ini lagi menyebalkan rasanya. Might be because this is the first day of my period.
Yang bikin gw kesel banget tuh BankWest Curtin.
Gw mau buka account tp nunggunya laaaammmaaaaa nyaaa minta ampun.
40 menit aja ya! padahal gw ada assignment yg due besok dan musti cepet2 ngerjain.
Masa' orang yg pegang counter personal assistance cuma 1 orang, lelet pula.
Akhirnya setelah nunggu2 ga jelas gw pergi aja.
Plus, tadi gw denger ada ibu2 marah2 karena pelayanannya BankWest payah.
Yaudah, maybe its a sign utk gw cari bank lain aja.

Itu bank udh cukup buang2 waktu gw kan.
Sekarang gw di abacus mau lanjut assignment, internetnya lemotnya minta ampun.
Sampe gw sempet ngeblog gini.

iigghhhhhhh... sebel sebel.

Like A Star

Kalo denger lagu ini jadi inget si Arya, soalnya dia yg pertama kali ngasih lagu ini ke gw..
Buat lagu tidur enak banget lhoo..
Aaahh I miss him..

When I'm Gone

There's another world inside of me
That you may never see
There are secrets in this life
That I can't hide
Somewhere in this darkness
There's a light that I can't find
Maybe it's too far away
Or maybe I'm just blind..

So hold me when I'm here
Right me when I'm wrong
Hold me when I'm scared
And love me when I'm gone
Everything I am
And everything in me
Wants to be the one you wanted me to be

I'll never let you down even if I could
I'd give up everything
If only for your good
So hold me when I'm here
Right me when I'm wrong
You can hold me when I'm scared
You won't always be there
So love me when I'm gone

When your education X-Ray
Cannot see under my skin
I won't tell you a damn thing
That I could not tell my friends
Roaming through this darkness
I'm alive but I'm alone
Part of me is fighting this
But part of me is gone

Or maybe I'm just blind..
So love me when I'm gone..

(3 doors down)

Yes, I'll never let you down even if I could..

Unhealthy Eating Habit.

Ya ampun ya ampun.
Kayaknya seminggu terakhir ini gw lagi suka banget junk food deh.
Eh nggak cuma minggu ini deng, dari dulu jg suka kok. Hehehe.
Even pas lagi heboh2nya film Supersize Me, gw malah ngiler ngeliat burger2 itu.
Menurut gw makanan2nya malah keliatan lebih menggiurkan.
Aneh banget, padahal org lain yg ntn itu langsung pada eneg ngeliat junk food.
Phwarrrahh.

Yah anyway, seminggu terakhir keinginan gw makan junk food semakin menggebu2.
Dan gw lagi jarang banget masak di rumah, jadinya ya jajan terus :(
Pokoknya nih minggu ini udh makan Twister KFC (uenaakk), Red Rooster 3 kali, Fries nya Mc.D, dan berbotol2 coke.
Ajigile.

Makanya tadi malem gw memaksakan diri masak soup.
Ada ayamnya, wortelnya, brocolli nya, trus ayam, sama kembang tahu.
Enak juga..

Tapi kok ya di otak gw sekarang masih kepengen Delux Chicken Burger nya Mc.D.
Pengeeennnn banngggeetttttttt.
Huhuhuhuhuhu...

Hangout ?

Tadi ngobrol2 sama Wendy & Audrey. Baru sadar deh. Udh lama banget kita nggak jalan2, hangout bareng. Padahal tinggal satu rumah.. Yaa ketemu tiap hari sih pasti, tp itupun cuma di rumah dan di uni. Even sekalinya lunch bareng pun di curtin. Dinner selalu di rmh, atau pergi sendiri2. Padahal pengen bangeett latenite dan jalan2..

Tapi sekarang2 ini kayaknya nggak ada waktu banget, gara2 assignment pada numpuk, semuanya due minggu2 depan. Abis itu final exam. Yaahh kapan seneng2nyaa??

Senin-selasa gw kerja. Rabu-kamis kelas dari pagi smp sore. Jumat kerja lagi.
Sabtu-minggu harusnya bisa sih jalan2.. tapi yg ada malah kita musti ke Abacus ngerjain assignmnet. Ya ampun..

Nah bagusnya, kayaknya akhir2 ini gw bisa save money lumayan banyak karena nggak ada kesempatan belanja2. Hihihi.. asik deh..

Flaws on My Cheek.

I placed my face closer to the mirror.

And oh! There it is! I found some more pimples on my cheek!
Dammit.

I'm 21 but why do I still get many pimples just like ABG lagi puber ??
And it takes ages for me to have the post-pimples-mark removed from my skin :(

current mood: sad.
helps me feel better: Mc Donalds' Deluxe Chicken Burger and large fries. mwahahahhh...
