Visitors from Medan

Again, I’ve been missing for a few days from the blogging world…and now I’m back, to tell u the reason. Yep, since last Thursday I’ve got some visitors from Medan, none other than my friends (teman seperjuangan dr sg), Pat n Lita….Pat arrived on Thursday, Lita arrived much earlier than that but before that got no chance to meet her…
Went to Ex with pat on Thursday, end up watching Xmen 3 (paying Rp. 60000, which is over-priced, but I dun regret it cos the movie was good!) and oso played bowling while waiting for the movie….(this one I quite regret coz only cause my arm aching….haha). Oh, I oso unexpectedly bumped into my cousin there….so surprising….
The next day was the “planned trip” with dwee n lita n pat. We went TA…typical hang out place of the youngs…but 1st, my task was to fetch Lita from her relatives’ house at Lebak Bulus which I dunno where (as usual)…n quite far from my place. But, luckily, we managed to find her…and we headed directly to TA.
To our surprise…the cinema aledy had lotsa ppl queueing up be4 it is even open…then we realised it was “Harpitnas-Hari Kejepit National” which means that day was between hols n weekends, so ppl just take the initiative to extend their hols….so, we waited till the cinema was open then started queueing up. Budden got other problem….Lita watched da vinci code in sg aledy….but the rest wanna watch…end up Lita watching da vinci code twice…paiseh to her lah, she’s supposed to be the guest n all…
Eat sushi n play arcade, that’s the other things that we did at TA…normal stuff ppl will do in mall…
That nite, lita stayed in my house to safe the trouble of fetching her from lebak bulus…and that nite we played games till 2 am….haha…n wake up late the next morning…which is a Sat…n we planned to go Dufan (jkt’s theme park). FYI, I’ve never stepped into Dufan for ages…literally…coz last time got nobody to with….n even the last time I went was still so young. So, dun even dare trying all the games. Now that I’m OLDER…. should have the guts lah….
Honestly, wad makes Dufan trip so long…the queue…it’s been like that forever. For 1 game, need to queue 15-30 mins….which was super tiring esp when there’s this rude little boy, only wearing his undies, running around. He was queuing right behind me n he’s like super impatient….He even pushed n stepped on me, shouting at me to move forward the queue when obviously it is not moving. Maybe u may say, “hey, he’s just a kid wad??” U try urself with that kind of kid lah…ruin my day only. But luckily in the end his dad stopped him…sigh…
The most thrilling game I tried was the boat thing (called kora2 here)…usually in sg, that boat game only makes u wanna puke coz it’s not high enuf. But this one, even when I sat near the middle u can feel that the boat was almost vertical…making that tingling sensation inside u….so just shout it out…AAAAAAAAarrrrrrrrrrrrrhhhhhhhh!!!!
Oh ya, got this one game which really makes u realise that centripetal (or centrifugal??) force is really happening. (sorry to ppl who dun take phy…hahah). Becoz u just got spinned n spinned in dunno wad direction in super duper fast speed…that the person sitting on the outer side (which was Pat), will become slimmer as a result of excessive squeezing n pushing from her other 2 friends (Lita n me loh!)…esp, if u got handphone in the pocket…haha…I laughed so much during that ride till my stomach ache…
Got some more games that I think will be too long if I describe here….but overall this Dufan trip is super fun coz I haven’t been there n tried those stuff for sum time…too bad it’s only 3 of us. Not rame enuf actually….the more the merrier….
When will this kind of trip happen again? Feel like going to Ancol…the wet place…

stupid but fun... from blogthings.com

You Are 18 Years Old

Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe.

13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.

20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.

30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more!

40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.


You Should Be In Destiny's Child

You're sexy, smart, and hard working.
The perfect combo for superstardom!


Your Fashion Style is Classic

You like what's stood the test of time...
Simple, well styled clothes that don't scream trendy
You stay updated and modern, but your clothes stay in style for a while
You wouldn't be caught in animal prints, fake fur, or super bright colors

just saw this from yeanching's blog, looks very interesting...so I tried....the result is 80%....i think....haha...

DInner dash

have been playing this kiddy game called dinner dash...the task is actually quite simple, have to be a waiter basically and earn money from the tips...which is not as easy as it seems. very fun n challenging indeed, which makes me stucked in front of my comp for the whole afternoon. Now, i literally see stars...
haiz, i think these games are really torturing my eyes...but why am I still surrender to the temptation...
but there's this one game, called insaniquarium, which makes u see fishes instead of stars...coz when we play until higher level, ur monitor is full full full of fish...When I stopped playing it, I realise that I continue seeing fish even after I quit the game n worse, I stiil see fish as I'm reading my email...
Just now I got a call from my guzheng "sch", they said tml got open house n we are supposed to perform (hiks no holz)...dunno wad kinda performance will it be...but i'm not sure that I'm well prepared for that....haiya..dun care, just play!
The weather has been crazy these few days (maybe global warming is taking effect)....In the afternoon, it's hot like hell (I've isolated myself inside aircon room while playing games)....then at nite or evening it will rain....with thunder and lightning. so scary....who says thunder n lighning are cool????

mood swing

sigh... I feel so effortless n useless now...coz I heard ppl go for this n that interview, to get jobs or uni or sch's...as for me, I just decided to do nothing and accept anything that come to me easy...
besides my life has been so monotonous... I wanna go out n play or shop but again I dun wanna trouble my dad if I go out (i need his driver to drive me around...but my dad oso need driver...sigh)...then, I oso have to start getting used to saving money...Most prob not taking sch's if I dun get ASEAN sch's... so need to save money for this n that....ah pusing! come to think of it...it was so good last time when MOE gave us allowance, mom n dad only needed to top up a bit.... but the future may not be that easy...
I was chosen to play guzheng for the mini CO in my music sch, they'r going to have a performance soon, I still dunno exactly when is it...the problem is, I'm chosen to play Guzheng 1 which only have 2 ppl. If the performance is after July, I may not have the chance to perform oso...but dun dare to tell my teacher coz she's been training me hard...sigh...how?

Monday Blue...

I wonder why Monday blues still hit me though I’m still trapped in this unproductive break. This morning, I woke up thinking…”Ow, Monday again, sucky TV shows…”
Dun blame me for always having thoughts for TV shows only, coz that’s how I live my live now, surrounded by TV n internet.
Talking abt internet, it is the other thing that cause my moday blues…maybe not really Monday blues… I tried to apply for accommodation in NUS…so I filled up the online form which is quite long (coz must specify abt CCA n all that stuff all over again). U noe wad, to get that done, I need to fill that form 4 times. Not NUS fault…it’s my stupid internet fault. So slow n keep on disconnecting… Now I can really memorise the content of my CCA record…bleh…

Watched the Oprah show yesterday (oh…u see, TV shows again), the show was featuring ppl who are taking challenges to take the leap out of their usual life…learn to be a new person, introduced to a new environment. Like this women who’s been working in the field all her life, who does not bother abt how she looks n all. Then suddenly, she’s given the challenge to learn to become a high class socialites… there are other similar stories too…basically all were given the CHANCE to experience another aspect of life…
If u are given that kind of chance or challenge, wad would u try to be?
For me, I’ve always got this dream in mind…there are lots of things that I really want to try to be…”a fashion designer, a model or an athlete”… Those fields are quite a great leap from my current path. I’ve always been in science path all this while, taking triple scince in JC, now taking Chem. eng in Uni… so, it must be a really great challenge to persue those fields I mentioned… haiz…but those are just dreams… and it seems that I’ve done nothing to pursue those dreams… Let them remain dreams…
(btw, for those of u reading, I want to know, wad kind of fields would u try if u are given this kind of “leaping” chance?? Just out of curiousity)

Okay, stop daydreaming girl!

The Rat Race

Have u ever been to a pet shop n say, ”Omg, that mice is super cute…!” I might be saying that before the experience 2 days agao…I’m sure that mouse n rats are from the same family (or related in some ways) but why can we say that mice are so cute while rats are disgustingly dirty pests…
This is how this thought arises: I was sitting on the couch (fortunately), watching TV at ard 10 pm at nite...when suddenly a black shadow of sumthing which I didn’t see clearly dashing past at the side…Although, I didn’t see wad’s that, my trained instinct tell me that it’s a RAT!...omg, I nv saw rats inside my house before…(I’ve seen them on the road side which I dun care abt of course). Then the excitement began as everybody in my house (except me…who is so frightened aledy) trying to get rid of, catch, kill or do sumthing to it so it won’t start breeding inside my house… I must say that the rat was FAST! Which made it hard to catch…Meanwhile, I was climbing high on the desk and sit up there with my legs folded up, away from the floor… To my horror, that rat ran and hid inside my keyboard (as in the musical instrument). It got in thru’ the hole near the pedal… So now, there’s no other way out for the mouse rat, it is literally trapped inside my precious keyboard…hiks…
But not too worry, in the end the rat got out lah…My dad n my bro carried that keyboard outside n dismantled the wooden board behind the keyboard n just let the rat ran away as far as possible from my house…shoooo…
That’s the end of the story abt rat hunting (together with the screaming n shouting – dunno wad the neighbours thougt happened in my house) in my house. Honestly, I’m super scared of all kind of pests n insects, especially cockroach…so disguting n smelly, even worse the ones which can fly…(reminds me of the cockroach invasion in vhall after they sprayed the insecticide…that was the worse nitemare ever…)

I watched Lativi Thomas cup semifinal yesterday. Feel so sad coz Indo team was trashed by China. Lindan beat Taufik Hidayat, Luluk/ Alvent lost to China couple which their names I can’t rmb in a very close fight, Sony D K lost to Bao Chun Lai in (again) a very close fight…arghhhh!

My future is somewad decided now. I’m going NUS Chem Eng n ignoring the interview invitation from NTU for CN Yang scholarship becoz I think too many choices will make me go crazy soon. Just have to settle on one thing and keep focus! Yay! For the accommodation, I’m still considering Kend Ridge as my first choice (heard that it’s newer)…but I hope I can get use to the common bathroom- have been to used to private bathroom… have to learn to step out of my comfort zone

The RojAk PosT

These past few days, there were many things happening… so I’ve got loads of stuff to tell, that’s y I name the post “the Rojak Post”----or maybe “Gado2 post” if u like it…
2 days ago, I was watching an MTV show called MTV gokil (btw, can anybody tell me wad’s the meaning of gokil, I just got the rough idea not really sure though…feel so outdated)…it’s similar to PUNK’D. Yup, but I think this MTV gokil only can be watched from Indo…Basically, the part that I watched was the one where 2 crews of the show wanna “PUNK’D” the kids who usually offer their services around the 3-in-1 hour on the road for those who got not enuf ppl on their car….so in order to use the 3-in-1 route without being caught by the traffic police, sum ppl will take this kids in their car…Yup, again, this kind of service can only be found in Indo (specifically JKT), if u can call that a service… Back to the show, the 2 crews took a kid from the side of a road and they pretend to be some insane n crazy ppl running away from an asylum. The driver keeps banging on the steering wheel while the other one keeps talking in weird manner…
Then, on their “fake” radio which they purposely let the kid hears got this kind of news “2 insane ppl had run away from an asylum and if u see any of them on the road, pls report immediately, coz they are very dangerous”….while the 2 crews keep acting weird and insane…One the cont of seconds after listening to that news, that kid ask them to let him off the car and in the end, he ran out of the car by himself…with his frightened face.
Haha I was like laughing so loud when I saw that…

Thomas n Uber cup is ongoing…I really wish I’m in Japan now and sitting in the stadium n watching the badminton matches, just like wad we did last year in Singapore (Aviva Singapore Open)…As from wad I read from the newspaper, Indo’s player are not so strong due to some injuries of the players…sigh

I’m currently reading Angels n Demons which I borrowed from dwee…I must say I really enjoy Dan brown books…so far I’ve read Da vinci code (which will be in the cinema soon …yay!), digital fortress en now in the middle of Angels n Demons…I really think his books are really great not just because of the story plot itself but really because of the facts n especially abt code breaking, so smart…and that’s why I love detective stories too, finding evidences, code breaking, turning ur brain…so fascinating…somewhat an adrenaline rush experience for me…

Sigh, these few days got the labour day demonstration everywhere, including Jakarta which is the hotspot… Hope there won’t be any serious clashes or anything of that sort.

Oh yah, I’ve been accepted by both NUS n NTU chem. eng…yay!!I so so happy but at the same time scared….

These are the “five on five” questions which I think I should respond to as I was tagged by Alice…(must admit that the questions are quite lame, though suitable for “wu liau” ppl like me)
1. Five minutes to yourself: how would u spend them ideally?
Erh, five minutes is a bit too short...now I got all the time in the world (till uni really starts =<) so why think abt 5 minutes...okay, if u insist, I would spent that 5 minutes away from Indo in some nice holiday place, maybe shopping or eating, or simply sitting down and enjoy the scenery (arghh, u see 5 mins is too short, can't make up my mind)...

2. Five bucks to spend right now: how would u spend it?
waitttt... wad buck is it? if it's Sing dlr, then i'll spend it for food, if it's US dlr, ohhh I'll still spend it for food, but maybe nicer one...haha...okay specifically: anything but western food..., indo food or jap food would be best!

3. Five items in your house u could part with, right now, that u hadn't thought of aledy?
Actually I'm not a sentimental person who can't part with things, so any random things that u see in my house are partable (got such word or not??)... Since I've left my house for 4 years before, parting is not that hard..

4. Five items u absolutely, positively could never part in your house?
Okay...maybe it's my pillow n my blanket....I cannot get use to using other ppl's pillow n blanket. that's 2, then maybe for now it's my comp n remote control (erhm, means the TV oso lah, but wad i usually hold is the remote) those are my sources of entertainment...Handphone has been a secondary possesion now since I got nobody to contact unless for urgent needs...omg, i need one more thing...okay, maybe it's my pencil...I use it a lot these days, to write my chinese characters, to do some ugly sketches of clothes (designing, in the better term, but I believe my sketches are so lousy n childish...hehe)

5. Five words u love?
This is kinda hard, lemme think first..."yup" is one, i think lots of it are scattered around my blog hehe... "lah"/"leh"/"meh", bad influence from Singlish. and maybe "haha", often use that when chatting...all my words are unimpt, do u think so??

okay....byezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
