Revive!
Well, sorry for neglecting this blog xD;;; I get so lazy and just tweet my way instead of blogging :P So if you have twitter, follow me!
Ummmm actually I start to blog again because Selvia asked me to post some pictures of vintage shops that I visited today. Firstly I wanted to say sorry because I didn't bring proper camera so I just take photos using my Blackberry and well... it's not pretty T.T
This morning I woke up late, at 11.30 while we all plan to meet in Bullring at 12.00 so I texted Chris to postpone it, but then Michelle texted me at 12.00 to tell me that she just woke up =.=;;; and even worse that at 12.30 Janna call me and said that Amir just woke up =.=;;; So we postponed the gathering until 1 pm. FAIL.
But just before we leave the phone in my flat rings and the postman delivered the boots that I ordered from eBay! So it's actually is a good thing that we're late, because if not I need to go to post office to take my stuff. SO this time, WIN ♥Plus, my boots turns out to be much nicer than what I thought it would be! xD
After we all meet in Bullring, we headed to Malaysian Delight, a Malaysian restaurant in Chinatown. The food for certain food like prawn mee and char koew tiaw are surprisingly good! At 1.30 Steffy and her friend from Myanmar, Lala join us to spend the day :D
No photos in the restaurant because I forget to take any after I see the food since I was so hungry at the time. FAIL AGAIN.
After lunch we headed to Custard Factory, but on the way we stopped at COW, a vintage shop with super bright yellow paint @.@Steffy and Janna shop some dresses and bags there, but me and Michelle come out with nothing T.T But we have realy fun time dressing ourselves with those vintage clothes though! xD
Our next destination is Custard Factory, and we really really having fun there!First, we were greeted by this huge naked statue just in front of the outlet.
Chris said he'll become green in summer btw.
The we headed straight to the vintage shop called Melrose Vintage. They have really really nice collection. We all squeal qith delight when we go inside the shop LOL.
Sorry again for the crappy photo, it might not looks so nice in the photo, but the real shop is really really pretty.
I bought one bag and one skirt there! :D Can't wait to wear them ♥♥♥I really really loveeee the bag, and it's super duper cheap! xD The skirt+bag= £22!
Actually there's a nice belt with butterfly buckle that I really like, but I'm not sure if I will ever wear it, so I just leave it there =/ maybe next time DDD:
So that's all for today xD;;; I'll try to update this blog as often as I can!

Terrible Week
I don't know how long have I abandoned this blog. I've been so emo lately, thanks to the super difficult visa requirement. Constant call from my sis and mom also not helping. Please stop implying that I didn't do anything to make this easier. I'm sorry if I sounded so annoyed when I pick up the calls, but yelling at me and blaming me for the late visa really makes me sick. It's not my fault if the Uni haven't give me the visa letter, I myself don't want to drag the progress.
Since last week I've tried many ways to settle the problems, but there's always something that prevent me from doing so. I run to 4 offices and 3 banks in Subang, PJ and KL for nothing. The only correct information that I got led me to Wangsa Maju, but I still have problems with my bank statement. I tried to send it as fast as I can and I still can't make it on time. I was so frustrated that I almost cry in the middle of the road. I almost lost hope and think that maybe I'm not supposed to get it, maybe I should just wait until next year. Luckily I'm more stubborn that I myself think. Now, one problem down but I still need to wait until Tuesday to see if the bank in my hometown could help to settle the problem.
Another thing about Uni, my mom tell me to just stay in the dorm since she's so worried about me. Actually at fist me and Chris plan to stay together outside the dorm in a flat, but because my mom still do not agree, I ended up in dorm. Let's hope I still can get a room in the dorm.
Tomorrow I'll go back to Wangsa Maju to take the translation of my certificate then take it to Indonesian embassy to get it legalized. Let's see if fate decided to screw my life again.

The Horror of Packing/Moving/Whatever
I JUST REALIZED I HAVE TONS OF JUNK IN MY ROOM. Shit.
Okay, so here's the story.
Tomorrow I gonna back to Indonesia for awhile to settle few things, and since I will graduate soon and move from here I plan to take half my stuff back first.
And the horror begin.
I have lots of junk/stuff/treasure/whatever and I don't know what I should do to them.
They consist of:
- Art materials from foundation years
- Tons of figure drawing works
- Tons of workbooks
- Bottles with questionable substances of perfumes, sprays, medicine, etc.
- Stack of color papers
- Boxes of magazines
- Bags (I really don't realized that I possessed more than 5 bags WTH)
- SHOES (I have more than 20 and don't know how I carry them all T____T)
- CDs (I think I need to sell them)
- Books
- Misc junk
Shit. I really really freaked out now. Follow my twitter if you don't believe me.

Kafka On The Shore
It's 6AM now, and I've just finished reading the book I borrowed from Chris, Kafka On The Shore by Haruki Murakami. After kinda finishing FPS, I feel that I have more time in my hands and the desire to read books come. This book is the second book by Haruki Murakami that I've read. Honestly, I'm not entirely sure why I actually love to read his book. Maybe it's the style of his writing, maybe it's the way he wove the story. I'm not sure, but everytime I read his book, I always feel that I need a quiet time by myself just to think. Sometimes the thing that come out from my quiet time is something that I actually thought before, but I never really paid attention about it. Something that I think I've known about it before, but not entirely understand what's the concept and meaning behind it. Weird, I know.
Kafka On The Shore makes me feel like that again, and I think I like this book better than Norwegian Wood. This book is really addictive, once I turn the page I just can't stop. I love the way Murakami wove the story, and the end is totally unexpected. It's still left me with some questions and some thoughts, and I'm afraid that I'm not ready to sleep yet. Not before I try to find out what's the answer.

FML
Since 2 days ago I broke my bedroom's doorknob, but I'm too busy to change it so I just let it be. For safety I always put my bedroom key outside, but today when I collect my laundry, I FORGOT about it. Therefore I locked outside my room without key =.=
----
Ok, I actually planned to write long ass entry about today's incident, but after this blog writing activity inevitably interrupted I suddenly lost the mood D:
So I'll just sums up everything:
1. Wounded my thumb because of the door incident, and it HURTS SO MUCH.2. The door ended up looking so ugly =.=
3. I love my bookmark design so much =D Will sell it for graduation campaign bazaar :)4. Steven's reaction when I said I liked Anton Yelchin in Star Trek and Terminator Salvation
Translation:
"But Nyuuus Anton Yelchin is a little boy"
"how come?"
"HOW COME?"
LOLOLOLOL xD He's 20 ok, old enough for me xD
ok, that's pretty much sums up what I wanted to say D:
And song of the day, Starlight by Muse

The Beginning
I was chatting with Wendy, complaining about my lack a motivation in doing my studies. Then he give me a very good advice:
Always remember the feeling when you started something.Now I look at my college days with the feeling of a little girl who just discovered crayons :)
Human being human, the greatest feeling is when they started something new.
Thus the song of the day:
Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right
It's all right
I feel so grateful to have friends that always support and encourage me T___T
I'm sorry that lately I complained a lot you guys T____T
I'm sorry for being such a brat T____T
Thanks for your patience T_____T
Thanks for not-so-spoiling me T_____T
Thanks for always keep me sane T____T
Thanks for being my friends for the longest time T______T
I love you guys! :)

How To Be Dead
Luv this song =]
The title sounds really suicidal, but somehow I think that the music and lyric is kinda cute ^^; Especially this part:
You've not heard a single word I have said...Lately I've been listening to a lot of Snow Patrol's song, and I liked what I hear so far ;)
Oh, my God
Been so bored with my playlist so I totally change it xD;;
Tried some oldies songs from Nat King Cole, Leonard Cohen and Frank Sinatra. I think many of old songs have really funny or cute lyrics XD
How To Be Dead - Snow Patrol
Please don't go crazy, if I tell you the truth
No you don't know what happened
And you never will if
You don't listen to me while I talk to the wall
This blanket is freezing, it's been out in the hall
Where you've had me for hours
Till I'm sure what I want
But darling I want the same thing that I wanted before
So sweetheart tell me what's up I won't stop no way
Please keep your hands down
And stop raising your voice
It's hardly what I'd be doing if you gave me a choice
It's a simple suggestion can you give me sometime
So just say yes or no
Why can't you shoulder the blame
Coz both my shoulders are heavy
From the weight of us both
You're a big boy now so let's not talk about growth
You've not heard a single word I have said...
Oh, my God
Please take it easy it can't all be my fault
I haven't made half the mistakes
That you've listed so far
Oh baby let me explain something
It's all down to drugs
At least I remember taking the and not a lot else
It seems I've stepped over lines
You've drawn again and again
But if the ecstacy's in the wit is definitely out
Dr. Jekyll is wrestling Hyde for my pride

Cool Guys Don't Look At Explosions

Relieved
My blog is like... in semi-coma state, I know. I really have no mood to do anything lately. FPS stressed me so much since I left behind my schedule for too long. The reason is I don't even have faith in my concept. I don't know why, but I keep seeing flaws in it and that's not the kind of flaws that I just can brush it off. So I change my concept and I FEEL GOOD about it. Finally something I have faith in. Somehow I just believe that this idea might work and I have clear picture in my mind on how I want to do it. Even though it's kind of rush and I have little working time, I like it and I don't feel tortured in doing it.
I've just got back from college, having some critic session with Sweii and some chat with her about further study. Thanks to her now I got clearer info about it. I think I'm really the person who needs to ask and talk about something before I can really sure about it. I don't know why, after that critic session and chat I feel sooooo soooo good. Like some weight in my chest just gone away~ I feel good LOL XD
To sum this post, I just wanted to say that I'm so happy today~! X)

Adorableness and Hecticness
See my previous blog entry? The one I gush about how hot is Zachary Quinto? FORGET THAT. Because now I'm in looooveeeeee with Anton Yelchin. RIGHT, Pavel Chekov from Star Trek. The adorable russian navigator
Ok, before I continue writing this, please bear in mind, I'm in my SUPER FANGIRL mode.
I thought that I've already passed the era where I adore super cute uke-type guy. But then I see this:Because if that picture I act like this (but in different terms of madness) :
![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v227/darkqueenakasha/gifs/2s7vyw7jpg.gif)
SHITE. I'm sold T.T He's just so freaking adorable. It's also not helping that he's being all smart and funny T.T I think this is the first time I like an actor whose around my age LOL. Usually guys that I like are just too old~! So I got excuse to like him, he's around my age~! I'm not guilty~! Now I just can't wait for his next movie, Terminator Salvation where he played teenager Kyle Reese.
![](http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F1TJbLBrnr8/ShlelqexgpI/AAAAAAAAAq4/4omn80aiQHs/s400/antonyelchin_terminator_salvation.jpg)
Oh, well~ XD Ok, time to turn off my super fangirl mode. Let's talk about college life now T.T
This term we continue doing our FPS, graduation campaign, and Industry practice. Somehow for graduation campaign I become treasurer. Actually almost all MM students become the board member. Chen as the president, Wahyu as Art director, Diana as PR, Chris as Marketing assistant, Sel and representatives of MM. So this term we're as busy as ant workers T.T I hope we all can pass this term and graduate together =)
Ok, gtg now. Having meeting with classmates for graduation campaign idea~

What Happened
OK, I think I kind of neglecting this blog, again :P
That's because I was on holiday, so I go back to Indonesia and take my sweet time to do everything that I can't do before holiday. I've read 3 fantastic books, 1 manga, watch 3 movies, and babysitting (which ended up as BIG FAIL) my nephew.
1. Let me introduce you to my fat baby nephew, Reego Pierson Chen :DI was helping my sister to babysit him for a while, but I just cannot tahan to carry too long since he's too heavy for my arms T____T But I keep practicing and now I swear you can see muscle if I bend my arms. He's so fat that he can't fit clothes for his age (2-3 months), he need to wear clothes for 9-12 months baby. His face is soooo chubby that I feel like biting them if only my sis patrolling around :P He like when people talk to him and making a face as in he understand what we said XD The problem is... He didn't like it when I carry him T_T He'll cry and I need to call my sister to make peace with him. So everytime I babysit him, I always ended up making him cry T___T Why you hate your aunty so much???? T____T *sniff*
2. Sang Pemimpi (The Dreamer)The second book of the tetralogy of Laskar Pelagi. I think this book is better than the first one. It really moves me, I cried in some parts T_______T To me this book is like a wake up call for me, reminds me of something I totally forgot: Dreaming. Arai reminds Ikal that sometimes, being a realist can tricked you into being a pessimist. Arai, the "simpai keramat" who reminds us to dream.
For people like us, all we have is dream. Without it... we're dead.I really can't wait to read the third book!
*simpai keramat is Melayu Belitong's name for people who is the only survivor in the family, means all of the family he has are dead, only him left.
3. Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows
![](http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F1TJbLBrnr8/SgUhH5zXTpI/AAAAAAAAAqQ/u2qh7E7qdDU/s400/harrypotter7.jpg)

![](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F1TJbLBrnr8/SgUg7gVaT2I/AAAAAAAAAqA/x4EHWaqr74s/s400/kaze+hikaru.jpg)
5. X-Men Origins: Wolverine
![](http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F1TJbLBrnr8/SgUg7gKANiI/AAAAAAAAAp4/Ni23uJfN4Vw/s400/wolverine.jpg)
6. Laskar Pelangi
![](http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F1TJbLBrnr8/SgUg7ER7BbI/AAAAAAAAApo/pnxo-lJ8TE8/s400/laskar+pelangi.jpg)
7. Star Trek
![](http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F1TJbLBrnr8/SgUg7ZMVwCI/AAAAAAAAApw/6Al9PnmuZOQ/s400/star+trek.jpg)
Ok, that's it! Actually I still have one more book, but I haven't finished reading it, I didn't inclue it here. So, how's your holiday? :D

Laskar Pelangi
Laskar pelangi is one of the best Indonesian novel that I've ever read and last September 2008 Indonesian filmmakers made the movie. This holiday I'll surely will buy the CD/DVD since many people commented that it's such a good movie. But for now, I must satisfied with the trailer only D:
Btw, this movie also have beautiful soundtrack from Nidji :)
Anybody interested? XD

So It's Almost Holiday...
Yep! It's almost holiday~! After we pass this week then there's nothing can stop me from hibernating~! Oh wait, there's FPS =_=
Speaking of FPS, just now Sweii show us I Love Dogs project that been done by one of our senior. I'm so interested with the motion tracking and audio sensor (I don't know what the correct name of the thing is, so Ah Bonk, if you read this please tell me~!) that he did for the project. I'm thinking about implementing those things to my FPS too, but then when I tried the motion tracking script, I suddenly become blind X_X There's a looooooooottttt of things that I've never know/learn before. So I'm thinking about buying the AS3 cook book when I go back to Indonesia since I'm so broke right now T___T
Somehow this term my interest in AS3 increased greatly. I wanna know more about it, how to implement it with PHP, how to do interactive installation, etc. But to be honest, I don't want people know me as a programmer who can design. I prefer to be known as a designer who can program. Well, it's still a long way for me to learn AS3 anyway. Wish me luck~! =D

Things I've Learned Lately
I slowly lost my passion in design. When I look back at my old sketch book and my new one, I can feel how I slowly lost it. Design is not something I really enjoy anymore. Design is something that I must do, just to finish and done with it. It's just like a routine. I feel so sad when I realized it, because designing used to be my dream job, it used to be something that I really enjoy and love. Now, I can't even have any confidence in it. I started asking myself if it's really what I want. I'm so jealous of my friends who really know what they want to do. I don't know. I really don't know which direction I'm going. I just feel that I don't mind doing the work, but that's not my passion. Not something that I really really love.
After I attend KL Design Week, it feels even more clearer. I feel quite inspired, but I also feel extremely jealous with the designers that really in love with what they do. I want to get back my passion. That's the reason why I decided to continue my study. I think if I directly work after I graduated, I'll just ended up as a machine without any interest in my work. I think I need more time to learn and gain back my passion. Pray for me~!

Nostalgic
Ah~! Actually I plan to blog about KLDW tonight until I stumbled upon this very old music video (freaking 1999!) of Indonesian band Sheila on 7, Kita. Suddenly I feel so nostalgic and miss Indonesia T_T This song reminds me of the good old days with my friends :'(
KitaOk, now I think you can call me emo kid =.=
by Sheila on 7
Disaat kita bersama
Diwaktu kita tertawa menangis merenung oleh cinta
Kucoba hapuskan rasa
rasa dimana kau melayang jauh dari jiwaku juga mimpiku
Biarlah biarlah hariku dan harimu
Terbelenggu satu lewat ucapan manismu
Reff:
Dan kau bisikkan kata cinta
Kau t'lah percikkan rasa sayang
Pastikan kita seirama
Walau terikat rasa hina
Sekilas kau tampak layu
Jika kau rindukan gelak tawa yg warnai lembar jalan
Kita reguk dan teguklah mimpiku dan mimpimu
Terbelenggu satu lewat ucapan janjimu

I Need Phood
With Taureans, a person can get away with more than most, but once they’re pushed past a certain point, they blow up, and these expressions of rage can be frightening. Taurus people are particularly likely to lose their tempers when their blood sugar is low, so they should not tackle important, sensitive issues with partners, friends, or family on an empty stomach.

LOL... Apparently I need to eat to keep my mind sane.

Orange Colored Sky
I was walking along, minding my business,
When out of an orange-colored sky,
Flash! Bam! Alakazam!
Wonderful you came by.
I was humming a tune, drinking in sunshine,
When out of that orange-colored view
Flash! Bam! Alakazam!
I got a look at you.
One look and I yelled "Timber"
"Watch out for flying glass"
Cause the ceiling fell in and the bottom fell out,
I went into a spin and I started to shout,
"I've been hit, This is it, This is it!"
I was walking along, minding my business,
When love came and hit me in the eye,
Flash! Bam! Alakazam!
Out of an orange-colored sky.
One look and I yelled "Timber"
"Watch out for flying glass"
Cause the ceiling fell in and the bottom fell out,
I went into a spin and I started to shout,
"I've been hit, this is it, this is it!"
I was walking along, minding my business,
When love came and hit me in the eye
Flash! Bam! Alakazam!
Out of an orange-colored, purple-striped, pretty green polka-dot sky
Flash! Bam! Alakazam! and goodbye

I Watched The Watchmen
Finally I watched The Watchmen. After I post the previous entry, I tell myself to stop whining and move my lazy bum to pyramid. So, the movie obviously would never be as good as the graphic novel, but I think this movie is not a bad adaptation. It loses some details, just like other comic/book inspired movie always have, but it maintain the main parts. Plus, it has nice opening credits.
The movie is complicated, like the graphic novels, and I think people who didn't read the graphic novel wouldn't like the movie. I don't think people could enjoy watching this movie because the story is quite complicated, it's not a light story that you can understand in one shot. There's a lot of important monologue in graphic novels that makes us understand the motives of each characters, on how they become who they are then. In movie they try to make it as detail as graphic novel but obviously they can't and it makes some parts of the story lack of depth. I won't blame people for not understanding what happened in the movie since there's just tooooo many sub stories here and there without in depth explanation like in graphic novel.
On the actors, I must salute the actor who played Rorschach. It's like he's born to be him. I think his interpretation of Rorschach is perfect. Really love the way he talk and move and everything. Even without the mask he can be so awesome. Not to mention he always got very interesting monologue. Love him.
I also quite like Dr.Manhattan there, and actually I don't expect him to have such a soft voice since I always imagine him with colder voice tone. The minus point is just that sometimes he sounds more to confuse than all knowing. About the actor who played Veidt, I just think his acting is awkward. Don't like. I think he just can't pull Ozymandias. The actor who played The Comedian also very very awesome, he's so him. Silk specter also somehow better than I thought, while Night Owl... his costume is too Batman-ish here to me, but his acting is not bad.
Overall to me it's a good graphic novel adaptation, I recommend people to read the graphic novel before watch the movie or maybe you'll be quite clueless and don't understand why the characters become like that.
Favorite quote:
Heard a joke once.To me the quote is so sad. Who'll cheer up the "clowns" when they're sad?
Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed.
Says life seems harsh and cruel.
Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lieas ahead is vague and uncertain.
Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Great clown Pogliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up.
Man burst into tears, "But doctor... I am Pogliacci"
Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drums. Curtains.

It's Not Because He's Naked
I want to watch The Watchmen. And not because Dr.Manhattan got into some nekkid action there =.=;;;
Me: I want to watch The WatchmenIt's not!.... the main reason :P
Steven: Only cool in special effects and got naked Dr.Manhattan there
Me: I still want to watch
Steven: Just for the naked Dr.Manhattan?
Me: =.=;;;;
I want to see Rorschach! I think that's the main reason why I so wanted to watch this movie.
Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh but with all the schedule we have this term I just can't find the time to watch this movie T.T I don't mind watching this movie alone, as long as I can watch it!!!! =.=
Btw, other bad news about me. I lost both my external hard disk and pendrive. Both are because of my clumsiness. I don't know why I'm so clumsy lately. Whatever.

Tan is Emo
I think I listen to Radiohead's High & Dry and Fake Plastic Trees too much T_T
Dream Dream Dream
I was having very interesting conversation with Steven just now. As we chatted, we realized that we actually have very similar dream that disturbed us, only we have different people and settings inside our dream. Psychologist said that dream is our inner desire, maybe there's something we want to do/ask in real life but we hold ourself? I kind of don't want to admit it, but then I realize better if I just accept it and be done with it. Now I just don't know where I should start.

Oh, I Feel So Drunk
These few days I don't get any chance to sleep properly. So now I feel like a drunkard. You know, your body feels like jelly, your head feels like swimming, and the world around you feel so surreal. I've been trying to rouse my motivation by reading lots of design blogs and books. I think it works, but I still need more time since with schedule like now I can't really think properly. Like now. Do you guys even understand what I said? @_@ Please bear with me, it's 4.18 am now.
As much as I like the subject for this term, I think the group discussion is a bit too much. It also super frustrating to discuss though MSN because of he choice of word that we use, so we must meet at college. We have lot's of different opinions, but fortunately we get through that already. Although one of my group in one certain subject that I have no interest in is a bit weird. Pink and white for a name like Sinful Indulgence? WTH. Luckily they change it though. Oh yea, a note for myself, try to speak more gently in discussion Tan! Somehow I feel sometimes some people feel offended when I disagree with their opinion. Must be more subtle. Stupid Tan.
Yesterday (oh hey, it's already Friday! so actually it's the day before yesterday!) we have BBQ with Kenny and Hong in Dee's house. Fantastic food, but a bit too much lamb. Love the salad. Chris is a great piano player. Kenny coming to Dee's house riding bike. WOW. And Mrs.Kok is really pretty. We also forget to eat our watermelon. Plan to leave it in front of MM Dept door and put message "To: Kenny!". Somehow I even think to put it inside a baby crib.
WTH I'm talking about. Sorry, just like the title, I feel so drunk.

So Unmotivated
I don't know what's wrong with me, but seems like every term 2 I will lose my motivation in doing my assignment. Seriously, when I tell myself to do my assignment, the first word that come to me is "UGH!". I don't know what happened, I really really feels sooooooo unmotivated and moody. I also feel that everything is boring. One side of me feel so worried because I slack so much this term, while the other one don't care about anything because it feels like a torture to start working on my assignment. Somebody help me!!!!!!

Further Study?
When I go back to my hometown for CNY, my mom suddenly ask me if I want to further my study. To be honest, I really really want to. The only thing that makes me hesitate is the money my parents need to spend for me if I continue my study. Among all my siblings, my parents spend the most money on my education. Both of my sisters get their degree in Indonesia, which is much cheaper that my study here. Plus, both of them finished sooner then other students so they don't burden my parents too much. I feel guilty for making my parents spend so much money for me. My mom ask me to think about it and asks people around me if I need to further my study. I've asked and most people said ofcourse it'll be good, even the experience alone is worthed, and if I can, why not?
I've just called my mom to tell her about it and she said that she'll support me. She ask me to where I want continue my study which I can't decide yet. For the past 3 days I've been researching about where to studies, etc. At first I'm interested in Birmingham City University because some people that I know wanted to continue their study there. But after I've done some research, now I'm more interested in Northrumbia University and University of Sunderland because they have Interactive and Multimedia design courses which I'm interested in. Actually my mom asked me (if possible) to go to place where I've got friend with me, so she won't be too worried about me being so far from my family. But I think eventually I'll manage though. I'm still undecided, but I hope I will make a good decision.
Btw, it's a bit random and out of topic but I want to post this funny comic xD

And somebody as chor lor as me will make it dirty in no time =.=!
2. D&Y "Softer Than Cashmere?" pink checkered scarfOhh another love at first sight. The moment I saw this scarf I feel like I can feel the soft texture of it lol :P I love the colors, and I can't stand cold so it's perfect for me. I plan to buy this, so stay tune!

I don't want to explain myself to you. You can either believe me or not. At least I do something about it.

Rude Person and First Week TOA
I was sleeping and dunno how in my dreams there's a very rude guy that makes me so angry until I really shout "EXCUSE ME!!! MIND YOUR MANNERS!" in reality until I woke up =.=!
I hate rude person. I really can't stand somebody who treat other people like shit. Grrr!
Btw, we started new term in TOA since 5 January. Finally I choose Advanced Web Design and Game Art and Planning for my elective subject. Actually I regret this decision after Sweii asked me if I've been given chance what skill I want to take. I answer Motion Graphic and Flash. Stupid me and my indecisive brain :(. But I think advanced web design will also give me lot's of new experience.
Btw, to my first week summary in TOA for this term. Firstly I can't believe now I'm in my 3rd year 2nd term. Wow, time sure move fast. In monday we got Final Project Studio with Sweii. As the name suggested, this term we start to do our Final Project. I'm so excited with this subject, hope I can execute my idea well.
Tuesday actually we got Game Art and Planning with Jordan, but we change the class to Friday. I think class is my favorite class this term, I'm so excited with our game plan and we also got to play in game room LOL. Yesterday our class play Wii together, it's such a super fun game. At first we play the standard Wii sports with Team Indonesia (consist of me and Wahyu) vs Team Malaysia (the rest of the class) and Team Indonesia win 3-0 woots! XD After that we play Wario for a while. Wario is such a funny game, it reminds me of Bishi Bashi Special. Jordan said actually he want to show more games to us, but because of the time limits he'll only show more games in our next class. Oooh, I love this class.
Wednesday we got Portfolio Presentation with Wai Khong. In this class our project is to sell ourself to agencies so they'll hire us. Actually I really like my idea, but Wai Khong said he already saw similar idea from my senior. Call me perasan or arrogant but after see senior's work I think I can do better than that and my idea is not similar. But I'll think of something else first to make my idea more solid.
Thursday is... the class that I think will be the most boring class in this term, Business and Client Management. No comment so far, since I don't even know and understand yet what's our project is.
The last one is Advanced Web Design, we need to create online capaign for Solar Energy awareness. I'm glad that I'm in the same group with Chen and Dee. I'm quite excited too with this class, because we got interesting topics to do.
Overall, judging from the schedule my lecturers give I think my class won't get enough sleep again this term (like we ever got enough =.=). The good thing is we got many interesting projects and group work, so maybe it won't be so bad.
p.s I plan to buy a handheld console, but still undecided which console I'll buy. Nintendo DS or PSP?

Best and Worst Movie of 2008
Since it's already 2009, now I think it's time to recall back what best and worst movie that I watched in 2008. I'm not a professional critics, I'm also not a film expert, all movies listed here are just from my personal taste. So it's ok if you're not agree, we just got different taste ;) I rate those movies base on how much I enjoy it, because to me I watch movie to entertain myself, not scared myself to death or annoy me endlessly.
Top 5 Best Movie
1. Wall-E
Cute, funny and simple story of an innocent robot. With beautiful pictures, adorable characters, nice story, it's the best movie I've watch last year.
2. The Dark Knight
It's one of the movie that meets my expectation. Heath Ledger is a perfect joker, I swear I shiver few times in cinema when he started to talk. I also really really love the ending. I think it's one of the best ending I've ever watch. I think I just love unusual ending :P
3. Iron Man
Honestly when I watch this movie, I have no expectation at all. I always assume superhero movie as boring movie with the same "super hero saves the day, bye-bye" kind of stuff. After I watch this movie, I totally change my they way I think about superhero franchise. I remember it's the first movie of 2008 that makes me feel satisfied after I finished watching. Robert Downey Jr played a very realistic Tony Stark. If you read the comic, you'll realize how good the play the role.
4. Red Cliff
Usually I never really fond of Hong Kong movie/drama, because mostly I just don't really "click" with it. But for Red Cliff, I can say it's simple the best Chinese movie I've ever watch. I love the battle scenes, fascinated on how amazing the tactics is. Amazing epic story with Takeshi Kaneshiro in the Movie, what not to love? LOL.
5. Hellboy II: The Golden Army
Guillermo del Toro did his magic again with the movie. Apart from the flat characterization, this movie have lots of stuff that I love. Amazing creatures, the troll market and the the Angel of Death are some of them. Some more I have soft spot for elves, and del Toro create unusual elf that I really love. Overall this movie is very pleasing to eyes and I love how the story goes in the end. Makes me want to wait for the next movie.
Other movies I've yet to watch but I think it'll be great: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Frost/Nixon, Milk, Laskar Pelangi
Other good movies: Miss Pettigrew Lives for A Day, Eastern Promises,
Top 5 Worst Movie of 2008
1. You Don't Mess With The Zohan
Simply the worst movie I've ever watch! It's the movie that makes me want to leave theater as soon as possible, not to mention theres 3 bimbos near my seat that keep giggling and commenting loudly there.
2. Love Guru
Thank God I don't watch this movie in theater and wasted RM10 to watch this stupid movie. Instead I watch it in sel's computer with my housemates and three of us really just can't find anything funny from that movie. Somehow this movie makes me dislikes Jessica Alba.
3. Igor
Not funny, bad characterization, unclear target audience, bad story, etc etc etc. One word: Bad.
4. 21
This movie have great base storyline, but very bad execution. Sel fall asleep when we watch this movie together. Me and Nesia just keep skipping many unimportant and boring parts until the end.
5. Mamma Mia!
Great songs, but I hate the movie. The girls act too annoying and overly dramatic. Not my cup of tea.
Other movies I've yet to watch but I think it'll be awful: Twilight, Max Payne, Punisher, The House Bunny

My New Year's Resolution
Yeah, I know kinda late to write this since it's already 4th of January, but that's because I really don't have any internet access while I'm in Jakarta D:
Next Year Baby - Jamie Cullum
Usually I never have any new year's resolution :P To be honest I'm a bit afraid of commitment, because I know if I can't fulfill it I'll get so disappointed that I wouldn't want to try again. But I think it needs to change, and I'll start it with my New Year's Resolution! :D
1. Be brave!
I'm afraid of lots of things, while actually I don't need to be afraid of many of them.
Afraid to ask.
Afraid to say.
Afraid to commit.
Afraid to change.
etc etc duh.
2. Eat more healthy food, less junk food!
Will need to eat less McD, KFC and their friends; Will cook healthy food more often! =) I'll also try to have breakfast everyday, drink more plain water, eat more veggies.
After studying in TOA (plus no parents to take care of me D':) I eat too many unhealthy food. I remember last term every week surely me and my housemate got order McD =.=
I also always eat breakfast in hurry (not good for digestion!), sometimes even not eat breakfast at all. Since I have low blood pressure (90/60 while normal around 100-130) breakfast is very important to make my brain functioned normally.
Oh yea, I also need to eat less sugary food.
3. Be nice!
I realize that I don't have the best personality in the world and I got lots of flaws that can hurt other people and myself. While some flaw actually is good for us, I realize many of my flaws need to be changed. Be nice, smile more, be more helpful, etc etc.
4. Be more organize and neat!
Yep, my room is a mess 80% of the time, need to organize more since there's more and more items to inside my room.
5. Try more recipe to cook!
Related to no.2, I'll try to cook more food. Healthy one of course :P It also will save more money if I cook! :)
6. Read more books!
Well I know I'm not somebody important but really, being a design student will makes you become a super busy person. I can only read books in holiday, and I feel that the less I read books, the less I interested to read more! I think I only read less that 25 books in 2008. Need to allow some time to read books! D:
7. Buy less, save more!
Like I say in no.4, there's more and more item inside my room. I realize in 2008 I buy too many unnecessary stuff, spend money on not important thing, etc etc. In 2009 I need to spend less, and save more money. My target is 20%-25% of my allowance per month. Gotta need to make budget sheet I think, since I think it'll get more impact if I see where and how much my money go.
Ok, I think that's all. Wish me luck!
Oh yeah, will update about holiday next time :P
