New Year Resolution Part II

2011-12-31T13:46:00.005+07:00

Oh My God, it's the end of 2011 already and sadly I definitely failed one of my new year resolution for posting at least 30 posts.. But here goes nothing!

LAST YEAR
2011 is such memorable and precious year for me. I'm getting to know myself in this year. Health, check. I'm good, nothing to worry about, never got heavily sick, never brought to hospital, except, for my poor vertebrae lumbalis, which hurt several times. Thank God I went to Suhu (sort of an expert in Chinese medication) in Surya Kencana, Bogor. Several knick knock with my bones (it hurt, a lot) and voila, the pain was gone.
For this year, I experienced how to lose some friends (because they went away; to another university, or going abroad) and I lived my life more independently because of that. Of course, there are still many distinctive and precious friends along the way.

My life as a Chairman in HKSA was such a roller coaster journey. Thanks for my skillful members, we made a good year. I passed the baton to another person, I wish she can do even better job than me! :)

Before the year ended, I bought a Rebel T2i or you can say Canon EOS 550D, which was my dream come true. I'm getting very interested in this photography thingy, especially when I got the first prize for an animal photography competition. It made me realize that I'm kinda good at this thing.

Okay now into the resolution check list!! :S

1. I need to exercise regularly. In the end of the year. I have a flat abs and some muscle in my biceps.

A T-O-T-A-L failure T _ T Let alone flat abs, I barely can see my muscle. I realize that this was such a tricky resolution. I bragged too much :'( It was embarrassing to read this resolution.

2. I want to extend my world. I have once or twice going abroad, and once or twice going outside the town

Hey, I went to Thailand and Malaysia! and it was such a nice journeeyy.. love it to the bits! I didn't go to outside the town though, is Sukabumi count? LOL

3. I want to help other animals. I'll make the clinic of compassion works!

Still need work, I barely have courage to do a surgery. :(

4. I need to be a good leader. HKSA's projects will be done!

Pelatihan Manajemen Satwa Akuatik, Pet Care Day, all programs, done, except for Lovpetsnia Gathering..

5. I love my family. I'll not forget their bdays and get them some presents!

Do hugs count as a present? hehehe :)

6. I need someone.. I'm getting a girlfriend, or I'm getting my mind to accept things. LOL

Well I found her <3

7. Stop watching bad "things". I need to become a good boy. lol

Haha boys will always be boys

8. Be organized. There will be at least 30 post this year in my blog.

I become more organized, but about blog thingy, no :(

9. Last but not least. Learn something new!! I need to have a new hobby in the end of this year.

Haha, I like dancing, singing, photographing, and my new hobby; taking x-ray pictures LOL

THIS YEAR

This year, I hope I can explore more about myself as a veterinary student. I want to study more, learn more, do more. I need to synchronize my vision and my mission as an animal lover. I want to go abroad. I want to learn how to become a good couple. I want to earn more with my new SLR. :) :) and I want to graduate this year!! Sooo.. here's the resolution, simpler version LOL

1. Graduate with grades higher than 3,3. I'm quite pessimistic for this last year, so many things to be memorized and so many tasks. But no lower than 3,3!
2. Pass the scholarship and go abroad! I hope that in September 2012, I blog things from Japan. LOL. Okay, but for the resolution, atleast try 2 different exchange programs.

3. Start to take care of my body. No six pack or biceps, but just keep your body healthy. Have an exercise at least once a week.

4. Make priorities. Will do my best for this relationship.

5. Find some money. I don't know what to do, but at the end of the year, I must earn something.

Happy New Year Guys!

Journey under the sea, part 1

2011-02-07T09:04:00.000+07:00

I'm waiting in front of the seaworld, ancol, now. We were supposed to come at 8.30am, but until now, 9 past something, the vet hasn't arrived, so I wait patiently with Lynn. We are studying the previous report about seaworld. How we manage the tanks, give food, and medication. They said the vet is a very strict one! Ly

"Rio Aditya Setiawan Ang"

2011-01-19T17:35:00.004+07:00

I'm accidentally open the wikipedia of "Rio de Janeiro", it started when my new Korean friends (I'll post about them later) and me talked about names, and I said that "Oh, my father named me after Rio de Janeiro in Brazil."

But I'm wondering.. What's behind my name??

Actually this little journey in internet turned out very interesting!

Let's go!

1. First of all, Rio. My very first name..

Hint! Rio de Janeiro means River of January. ;)

Yap, Rio means River in Spanish.. Personally I thought it's resembling in-rhythm feeling, flowing with your own way.

Rio also means Jasmine/Village (ri) + Center/Thread/Cherry Blossom (o). Rio is for girls in Japan.. :(

But my Japanese friends usually call me Ryo/ Ryou.. And the meaning are cool, refreshing, distant, and reality. Hmm, I'm a realistic person, so it fits! LoL

2. Second is Aditya. I'm really surprised that Rio means river (cool watery feelings), because I know that my mother named me Aditya because it's "Sun" (hot and shiny feelings).

But after I did some researches, Aditya is from Sansekerta languages (Hindu), and it means "God of the Sun", "Son of Goddess Aditi", "Source of lights and warmth".

3. Setiawan is my Indonesian family name. It's from my father, Richard Setiawan. Setia in Indonesia means faithful or loyal. Setiawan means "A very faithful or loyal person"

4. Last but not least, I'm adding my Chinese family name here. It's Ang. The original chinese name is Hong. Hong means "Vast", "Immense", "Fortune", "Famous/Well-known"

That's all!

So, in my opinion, Rio Aditya Setiawan means "A faithful person who will be source of lights and warmth, living his life fully from the beginning (upstream) to the end (downstream)."

My Room :)

2011-01-19T17:26:00.002+07:00

Especially for my lovely big sister, Christine :)

These are my "latest" pictures of my room.
Why I'm calling this latest? because it's quite tidy!
:)

Usually I put everything on in the right place.. Put thankfully my housemates came and helped me to sort things :)

My desk.. For laptop, making essays, reading books, everything :)

The other side of the room.. Boxes in far left is the messy part. lol. the cupboard is for clothes, and there's my hamster corner :)

my bed :D I love the scenery.. It's quite cold in the night

New year resolution!! ;)

2010-12-31T11:33:00.000+07:00

LAST YEAR

My year began with a start for 4th semester in my faculty. I was quiet and timid after some incidents made me solitary for a moment

I expected to have more friends and get more experience in my major, especially in small animal practices. And yeph, I met my expectations.

I have few close friends, my personality back to normal (loud, sensible and logical), in fact, I think I ends this year with more positive attitude inside me.

This year I'm a little bit surprise for people to recognize me and appreciate me more than I imagined.

I'm feeling powerful, and surprisingly my faith to God has become thicker than before (thanks God!!). What disappointed me this year? Maybe the fact that my grade is getting lower.

I'm very sensitive when it comes to grades, and I'm really disappointed even I study as hard as I usually do, my grades sucks!

If I could do anything over, maybe I will not buy that super expensive "Aino" for my cellphone, it's lame, it's fragile, and it's expensive!! I would rather choose Hazel or anything cheaper. Or even a Blackberry!

As I have explained above, my academic performance is not as good as before. My strength is I like to applicate the theories and I know the basics quite well. My weakness is that I'm personally think that learning all the aspects of pharmacology, memorizing all the musculus and nerves in anatomy. It's not important. We have books, to be read of course.

I have to self-explained my self that these things are important, or at least, I need to excel in these things. For my future. Scholarships, going abroad, what could be better?

I have learned many things, I've become the chairman for my faculty's club, and I have vision and mission in my life.

I didn't make any resolution last year, but 2010 is one of my good years. LEFT: One of my snapshots in 2010. We were strangers back then. But right now, I really fond with them :)

THE NEW YEAR

This year will be different, because I'm in my last year of my faculty, and I expect to learn more difficult subjects and of course, interesting. I'm also one of the leaders in the campus and I have quite a responsibility to encourage everybody.

I expect tis year to be similar as last year, in ways, I'm healthy, there's no bad things happens in my family, there's no accident and so on.

What challenges I expect to face? There will be many things and the best thing to prepare it is that I need to strengthen my faith..! Because I know that it's not wise to be dependent to others. They can't assure you 100%.

But of course, I need them in many ways.

I hope to improve my life, in different way, I want to get my own money, to go abroad, to contribute something to this world.

My strengths is that I'm still hearing voices within my head and my heart, to differentiate the good and the bad (seriously!) and being such an idealist person,

I need to project my positivity in my surroundings (but not also acting like 'holy' priest or something).

COnsidering my physical health, I'm quite healthy this year, but I'm getting fat and no exercise! I'm feeling the unstability of my mood and stiffness in my body. I need to exercise.

Considering my mental health, I'm getting really positive! but the hard part is to maintain such things. I can get very lonely and unstable sometimes.

Considering my social network and social life, I'm getting better, but sometimes I can be really fuzzy and egoist.

I wish to improve my physical and mental health!

Okay.. Time to go for this new year's resolutions!

1. I need to exercise regularly. In the end of the year. I have a flat abs and some muscle in my biceps.

2. I want to extend my world. I have once or twice going abroad, and once or twice going outside the town

3. I want to help other animals. I'll make the clinic of compassion works!

4. I need to be a good leader. HKSA's projects will be done!

5. I love my family. I'll not forget their bdays and get them some presents!

6. I need someone.. I'm getting a girlfriend, or I'm getting my mind to accept things. LOL

7. Stop watching bad "things". I need to become a good boy. lol

8. Be organized. There will be at least 30 post this year in my blog.

9. Last but not least. Learn something new!! I need to have a new hobby in the end of this year.

Do you have your resolution already?? ;)

Quote from Daniel

2010-08-13T12:56:00.000+07:00

“I am Me. In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me. Everything that comes out of me is authentically mine, because I alone chose it -- I own everything about me: my body, my feelings, my mouth, my voice, all my actions, whether they be to others or myself. I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears. I own my triumphs and successes, all my failures and mistakes. Because I own all of me, I can become intimately acquainted with me. By so doing, I can love me and be friendly with all my parts. I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me, and other aspects that I do not know -- but as long as I am friendly and loving to myself, I can courageously and hopefully look for solutions to the puzzles and ways to find out more about me. However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is authentically me. If later some parts of how I looked, sounded, thought, and felt turn out to be unfitting, I can discard that which is unfitting, keep the rest, and invent something new for that which I discarded. I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do. I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productive, and to make sense and order out of the world of people and things outside of me. I own me, and therefore, I can engineer me. I am me, and I am Okay.”

(Virginia Satir)

Kantoi - Zee Avi

2010-08-11T13:07:00.002+07:00

Haha.. I love this song~!

It's cheerful, funny and simple!

Kantoi is a word to describe that someone is busted, or caught doing something wrong.

Zee Avi is a Malaysian singer, song-writer, guitarist and ukulele player. Her genre is acoustic.

Here's the lyrics!

Semalam I call you, you tak answer
You kata you keluar pergi dinner
You kata you keluar dengan kawan you
But when I call Tommy he said it was'nt true

So I drove my car pergi damansara (a place in KL)
Tommy kata maybe you tengok bola
Tapi bila I sampai you, you tak ada
Lagilah I jadi gila

So I called then called sampai you answer
You kata sorry sayang tadi tak dengar
My phone was on silent, I was at the gym
Tapi latar belakang suara perempuan lain

Sudahlah sayang, I don't believe you
I've always known your words were never true
Why am I with you? I pun tak tahu
No wonderlah my fwenz pun tak suka you

So I guess that's the end of our story
Akhir kata she accepted his apology
Tapi last last kita dapat tahu she was cheating too
With her ex-boyfreind's best friend
... Tommy
Kantoi

Kopi Luak

2010-08-11T12:43:00.003+07:00

Last night I went to this Kopi Luak Shop in Kelapa Gading Mall, Jakarta.

Kopi Luak is a very expensive coffee! We must pay about 85.000 IDR for a glass of it!

Why is that? Because to get the coffee, we must wait for the luak to selectively eat the most high quality coffee beans, and (sorry) let them poop the coffee beans out.

Yes, literally, it's their feces that we drink. LOL

Some of the coffee lovers say that the taste is special and unique (the coffee beans get through the fermentation process in the luak's digestion system)

"The $8 coffee in a golden cup"

I'm wondering how they produce it though.. Do they trap the luak and make them eat coffee?

I have a website here, and it shows the luak in the captivity. I think the place is very small, and the luak seems unhappy.. http://tokokusip.com/

Although this Asian Palm Civet (Luak) is considered Least Concern by IUCN (World Conservation Union), we need to make sure that's the production of this kind of coffee is in control of veterinarians.

People (usually in developing countries such as Asia) still don't appreciate other living beings and make use of them in a dreadful way.

You can find out more about this kopi luak (or civet coffee) in wikipedia :)

Kamei Eri to graduate Morning Musume

2010-08-10T08:57:00.002+07:00

"Her striking pic from her latest photobook"

Oh noo.. :'( I've just received terrible news yesterday..

Kamei Eri is graduating from Morning Musume this October!

It's such a heavy news for me..

She's a very active and talented girl in the group!

I've been a fan of her since 2003.. And it's 7 years already?

The reason is understandable though, "skin diseases"

She has been wearing too much make up and singing in many concerts (changing costumes and such) and it's not good for her skin recovery.

I wonder if she's allergic with the make-up in the beginning of her life as an idol (It means that she withstand it for 7 years? Such a hardworker..)

Hope that she'll return the showbiz! But not as Kamei Eri from Morning Musume.. :(

I've been waiting for her taking place as a leader in the group one day, but it will not happen..

= 3 =

Humping me?

2010-08-07T21:52:00.003+07:00

Today it's also a busy day..

We had a open house for the new vets students in the faculty.

There are many animals, from horse, dog, cat, hamster, fish, snake, and also an owl!

(I'm not a big fan of exotic pets, I think they belong to wild!)

It's a blast thou, the presentation and everything..

I hope they'll be part of my Himpunan Profesi :D

"What the hell are he doing?"

Hold on, I mentioned dog, no? However, it will not be Choco! He's a dog in my boarding house,

and he's a very naughty one.. He's like to humping! (Having a doggy style, explicitly, lol)

And one of his object is my leg.. - _ - "

"He's such a lovely dog from afar~"

Still, I love him to bits~ He's such a nice dog.. He always cheerful and smiles! I wonder if I can be strong the day he goes away.. :'(

"Had a 2-shot with Monique, my life-long friend~"

Me and Monique had a same schedule today, so I was with her through out the day.. We must wear clothes with collar. It's not too comfortable, but we've been 1 year wearing it, so it's not a problem anymore..

Having fun @ boqer~

2010-08-06T22:22:00.002+07:00

Went to Botani Square with my friends :)

There's a 50% discount for BNI card users in 21 Cineplex!

Greedy and stingy people like us will never let go that opportunities. Lolz

It's 12.500 IDR for a "The Last Airbender" ticket! That's cheap.. :)

"Arca and Gregorio, ready to eat the meals!"

Had dinner in Solaria.. A common place for students. Cheap and quite delicious.. :)

"My meal :)"

I had a Bihun Siram Ayam.. Which is very nice! It's been a long time since I ate vermicelli~

"Aqua bottles from backpack LoL"

We didn't buy drinks, on the other hand, we brought aqua bottles with us~ We still have few bottles left after the cinema. We can save up to 3.000 IDR without buying any drinks.

After that, I played Dance Dance Revolution in the game center. I love this game, even though I always fail to attempt difficult mode -_-

It's nice to use your timing senses! Good for reflexes. LoL

"First match against Titus. Easy.."

"Arca has more skills than Titus. Definitely"

Persekutuan Fakultas

2010-08-06T22:14:00.003+07:00

Can you guess what it is? :)

This is us singing in the canteen, training some songs for the faculty fraternity~ (I dunno if it's the right translation)

We have new people on the block! (Read: new students, my junior!)

When the moslems go to friday pray, the non-moslems (mostly Christian and Catholic) go to faculty fraternity. We sing and talk together :)

There's one hinduist and buddhist too in the gang..

All that's left is Confucus.. I haven't met one, even though Confucus has been one of 6 religions in Indonesia..

Sayonara Sachi~

2010-08-05T21:58:00.003+07:00

Tonight I had a farewell party with Sachi and Monique :) Sachi, one of my friend from Japan is going back on 8th August.

So we decided to make dinner together for the last time~

"Which one should I buy?"

We went to Giant Supermarket to buy things, for example onions, tofu, literally it's all vegetables.. Sachi is a veggie-mania. She loves to cook raw vegetables in our hostels, and it turns out very good ;)

"Sachi's posing for the camera"

I really like the fact that Sachi's using re-useable bag for the groceries. Its very global friendly ;)

She said in Japan, people pay for plastic bags, so everyone's using their own bag for shopping.

"From left to right: Tape, beers, wonton soup, curry udon, umeboshi"

This is our dinner~ Wonton Soup and Curry Udon. Sachi brought her mom's Umeboshi.. It's very sourr!! :S I can't believe that it can stand until 10 years without getting rotten. It's amazing..

"Took a pic~ It's not a big party, but we really enjoyed it"

"It's not even half-full, it's 1/8 full! Haha..Beginners.."

Had a toast! There'll never be a party with Sachi without any beers~

We bought mixmax, san miguel and carlsberg :)

Dinner~

2010-08-04T23:50:00.002+07:00

I went for a dinner tonight..

I've been a such bad friend because I haven't got time to have dinner together with my Malaysian friend! :(

But not anymore :)

We ate in a Ayam Geprek restaurant across Giant Yasmin.

I usually eat a lot there, so the taste is guaranteed~

This is Ayam Geprek ( Geprek means mashed)

The gorengan~ It's very crispy, not a healthy one, but at least it's better than the ones in street vendor

Lim's ready to eat his spicy chicken! With a glass of coffee? That's quite weird combination

I invited Monique to join us, she's all alone in our boarding house

She wore our HKSA's sweaters!

Oh yeah, don't forget to like our Pet Care Day facebook and also participate on our events!

Pet Care Day!

Bring your pets ;)

One fine morning

2010-07-20T07:37:00.003+07:00

It's 6.50. "Damn, I must have been missed all of the alarm sounds before this!".
I woke up from my kapuk bed and walked downstairs, holding bread in my left hand and shampoo in my right hand. The boarding house is so quiet without any student here except me. Except for that, I really enjoy living here, without any hectic sound; so peaceful :)
I hope this fine morning will turn into a fine afternoon and evening too!

Stressed out

2010-07-05T08:20:00.002+07:00

o.0 I've never known that having a father could be as hard as this
I wonder if he can think more about his family rather than his ego..

Have you ever felt like me before? Tell me about your parents ;)

In this crazy life~

2010-06-11T00:11:00.002+07:00

"And in this crazy life, and through this crazy times.."- Everything, Michael Buble

Geez.. many people are easily being stressed out lately..

They get angry easily..

I wonder if the materials, lecturers, and situation in the campus have any relation with this thing?

We have so many things to do ,jobs and papers, exams, student organization, and not to forget, our own private life.

We need to take a rest for awhile, and also make a well-enough communication with our God.

Find some activities that can help maintain your mind.

I have my little time for meditation before I sleep. How bout you? :)

I want to go back to that day

2010-05-22T21:31:00.003+07:00

I want to go back to that day,

I hope we could go back to that day
I wonder if you can?
I'm just being spoiled

Right now
I'm only spoiling myself
I want to escape reality

Well that's some lyrics from "Ano hi ni modoritai - Morning Musume".

I'm getting tired of this, I always feel energetic during the day, but at times when I'm alone (especially in the midnight), this melancholic feelings always bugging me :(

I hope it will stop sometimes..

This time I remembered about my happy times in my younger days.. It was surprisingly simple and fun.. Right now I have many tasks to do with;

1) Cecilia's schedule

She's a Mexican who will come here @ May 25th. [3 days to go and I haven't prepared it at all :(]

2) Pet Care Day jobs!

Being a project officer is a LOT harder than I thought. Fund-rising, sponsorships, publication, etc.

3) Scientific Forum

Tomorrow IAAS Bogor will have the 3rd meeting of scientific forum; no preparation :(

4) May Day

This time is from KMK IPB, haven't contact the performer for that day yet.. :S

I wanna post about my trip to shelookRED and Fish Quarantine Center in Soekarno-Hatta airport, but maybe not now.. :)

I promise I'll post it tomorrow..

The cute mouse is save :)

2010-05-19T22:32:00.005+07:00

Today I had my physiology class and the topic was about metabolism rate in rats. I felt so relieved back then when I read the method, "Thanks God I don't kill any animals this week!" ;)

Well, to be truthful last classes were all about gut motility (we killed one poor little rabbit for its jejunum), heart rate (we killed one helpless frog), muscle (1 frog), brain system (many frogs), etc.

I felt a little bit devastated after those classes, and I'm just wondering why must we kill many lab animals for our experiment, do we have rights to kill them? (okaay off topic, back to the topic!)

The experiment was about getting this mouse (I named her "whity" ; okay that's ridiculous lols) into the metabolism jar, and with manometer (the right pic) we will calculate how long does it take to consume 10ml of oxygen. After we got the time, we can calculate its metabolism rate by some basic formulas.

I felt pity for whity (imagine that u are being kept in air-proof jar while your oxygen depleting little by little, next your brain will not get enough supply of oxygen and the result? you're losing your consciousness) but oh well.. at least she still has her life to live..

"Even though it's just a little love, little care, little thought, it's still VALUABLE, please think more of what you do to any creatures near you!"

Give me your thoughts and comments!

Celebrating Easter ;)

2010-05-17T22:58:00.007+07:00

May 16th 2010, it was way too late for an Easter Celebration, but we did celebrate it yesterday ;)

It was organized by first year's Catholic students, I'm in second year now, wow.. That was fast, it seems like just yesterday I became the committee.. and now I'm the participant ;)

The mass was surprisingly great, especially the choir, they did their best to spend a lot of their time [singing from 7pm until 11pm everyday? that's something ;)]

And I must admit it, the event was much more better than last year. They got Delon and Frans 'Sisir' in their guest of honor!

That was my time to meet both of them, live and close, LOLz.

Delon sang couple of songs, instead, he told many of his stories from his ex-girlfriends, how Jesus save his life, and sort of things. I managed to capture his geeky smile in my canon ;p

But in the other side, I was AMAZED by Frans Sisir. He was a poor man who once survive with only coconuts from his tree. Eating coconuts for breakfast, lunch, and dinner? I barely imagine that. But Jesus gave him an answer. With an ordinary comb and left-over plastic bag, he can create wonderful saxophone-like-tone. Its voice is very smooth and you'll not recognize that it's just a comb. I managed to buy his CD and got his signature on the cover.. I think I'll give it to my mother as a present later :)

Overall, it was a good day.

I took a picture with my friends after the event.. Happy Easter All!

My yellow train

2010-05-13T22:33:00.003+07:00

"In so much pain, I feel like I'm in so much pain..

Come on baby.. just come on baby yeaah.. Let me ride that yellow train

So I can go on with my life.. before I go insane..

.....Think I'll miss my train again.."'

That's some lyric from "Yellow Train" by Yesterday's Headline.

I love this acoustic indie band.. their songs are just right in my ear :)

If you have time, please listen to it..

It's nice

And about that lyric, I just need to find that yellow train fast :(

My mind is still cracking little by little and I don't know how to stop this kind of feelings anymore..

I'm still human with a heart after all..

Journey to Jogja part I

2010-05-01T02:12:00.001+07:00

"tissuuee basaahh.. rokoookkk2.." "mizooonneeee dinggiinn2 maaasss.." "airnyaaa airrnyaaa aquaaa"
"nasii nya maaasss... masii angeeett"
"
That's some words that I've been hearing right now.
It seems that journey with economic class train isn't an easy trip.. Eventhough, I'm enjoying every bits of it.
This journey started 7 hours ago since I depart from my kost to Bogor.
I never thought that it would be this crowded. Now I know why people in Indonesia don't care about animal welfare..

How To Train Your Dragon

2010-04-25T15:00:00.002+07:00

It's been a long time since I reviewed films in this blog, the last is.. Kambing Jantan? hahaha..

Okay, fyi, this is my first 3D experience and I'm absolutely loving it :)

At glance I thought this film will be like another cheesy short animation movie; but I was totally wrong. This film is a perfect match for animal lovers including me.

"A Viking teenager named Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) lives on the island of Berk, where fighting dragons is a way of life. The teen’s smarts and offbeat sense of humor is disliked by his tribe and its chief, Hiccup’s father, Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler). However, when Hiccup is included in Dragon Training with the other viking teens, he sees his chance to prove he has what it takes to be a fighter. After he entangles a dragon with bolas-shooting cannon, Hiccup releases and ends up befriending the dragon. This relationship flips his world upside down as he strives to convince his tribe that they don't need to be dragon-slayers." - www.cineplex.com

This film shows how human can befriend with creatures surround them, by seeing the other side of coin. After observing Toothless (the dragon), Hiccup knew the reason why dragons attack their village. It basically not dragons fault, and Hiccup stood to convince his tribe.

Do you think you have courage like Hiccups? Then, the world needs you :)

Rate: 4.5/5

Good Friday Night

2010-04-03T12:34:00.005+07:00

In this easter weekend, I decided to go back home and celebrate it with my family.. (^ ^)
After I gave treatment to Kribo, I departed to my home with Lynn and Chon2 in my car.
For friday's mass, we decided to go for St. Theresia Church, which is my and my brother's nostalgic place (*_T)
I had attended this church from 1st grade until 9th grade.

The mass was crowded as usual

Here's Holy Mary's cave. This place is extremely nostalgic too.. I always waited for my parent there after school ^^

Poor little fellas..

2010-03-14T19:08:00.001+07:00

I saw this poor baboon(?) in a cage at some big seafood restaurant near Serpong
I have no idea what kind of mammals is it, but I know that they don't look happy at all! I hope they are not in "endangered" status, but it's wrong to put wild animals in captivity!

The other thing that I don't like is a fact that customers are enjoying watching them. There were a mom and her child 1-2meter from me and I heard what did they talk about.

Child: "Look mom! a baboon!! can I touch him??"
Mom: "No! it looks very dangerous, but you can look at them as long as you want.. They look silly with those pink butts right??"
Child: "Yeah they look soo ugly!!"

Oh no.. It's just WRONG.. I don't know.. I immediately went to them and explained about how they suffer with those big chain in their stomach, there's no foliage, minimum food, sun exposed, and everything. Animals are not for toys or display product! And they thought I was a strange guy with stupid opinion..

2010-03-12T10:51:00.001+07:00

Ya ampun.. Lg cb isi foto.. Ternyata lambreta bgt pk hp.. N kyny mhal jg y? Hmm.. Anyhow, missing shiro so much. Thanks God I'm going home this weekend.. Lol.. Need some refreshing..

Makrab HKSA

2010-03-08T10:27:00.001+07:00

Had just finished my 'makrab' yesterday..

It's fun! I managed to know everybody there..

At first I thought there would be a lot of yelling n punishment like other orientation programme, but luckily it didn't. I hate when I got yelled by somebody.. Lol.

Took a lot of good pics there.. I'll upload it later. I'm training my ability to shoot human interest objects, and I had couple of decent ones.

Back to campus life now, it feels so dull.. Damn.. I'm really looking forward for URSEP announcement.. Keep my finger crossed. Hehe..

Some pictures:

Chinese New Year Eve..:-)

2010-02-13T22:36:00.001+07:00

At last, CNY eve! That was fast:-o I still remember how many ang pao I got last year, lol. After church, we went for sate pasar lama. Its famous for their pork satays. =] thus, we went to matahari for hunting new clothes! I didn't find any decent red one so I didn't buy anything. It's not a must though. I don't really care bout that belief. On the other side, I spent my money in Gramedia. They had sales on old comics and books. In this opportunity I completed my Dragon Voice series.. Haha.. Time to stay awake until 12! :-D

OMG so loveless O.O

2010-02-11T11:43:00.003+07:00

Just opened my best friend's facebook account and saw a guy standing next to her Boom! I was in shock she's got a boyfriend! I was so happy back then, and felt a little bit jealous, a little bit.. hm.. okay.. maybe a bit.. hmm.. or a lot?

I wonder why I become so loveless these days.. I don't even have someone to chat with.. or to like.. geez..

This lyrics from Morning Musume's Koi-ing really bugging me.. " There were times when life was boring because I couldn't even have an unrequited love"

Well maybe this is the time.. :S

I need to find someone to like fast.. LoLz.. I know there's someone. I will not falter on these winding roads of mine!

Wish me luck guys!

Fairy Tail II

2010-01-18T15:10:00.003+07:00

Fairy Tail episode two. "How come?"

I wanted to go to my friend hostel nearby, we had a paper to do. When I went upstairs to level 3, where my friend room is, I heard some noises from above. On level 4, there is a roof top. I wonder, "What kind of noises?". After I went up, there were these 14-17 small cages with 4-5 hamsters each. The condition is so poor, there was no water even though there was lot of food. The cages are so over-populated and I saw many of them were not healthy at all. There was a male one, found dead without any head and ants were surrounding it. "How come?", I said in my mind, "How come people do something cruel like this?"

The situation up there was so hot and there was nothing which can block the heat of sun in the middle of the day. They were in dehydration! I spent nearly 1,5 hours to give them water one by one, from my lectures, I know that when an animal in dehydration state, taking lots of water will ruin its kidney. So I gave them one by one in certain interval to prevent those things. They were scratching and biting each other to determine who's gonna get this precious water first. Weren't they so miserable?

My friend said that the owner neglects them and doesn't really care bout them, but he refused to give the animals, he said that he wanted to sell those animals for profits.

So, who's faults? Is the owner wrong? Or are the animals?

You decide :(

*Note: This is the story from friend of mine, Lynn. She's also my vet-student friend :)

Fairy Tail I

2009-11-24T21:35:00.002+07:00

There is a cat which straying around my boarding house, it plays on our roof top and often rings the alarm-censors. House people hate it so much and love to see it goes away.
One night, I saw a fat-belly cat walking to the backside of the house. It turned out that it is a female cat. She looked scared and cold, finding her way to escape from me. In the middle of confusion, I calmed down and silently went to that cat. She was so tame and adorable. Figured out that I wasn't mean to hurt her, she bravely went inside again. I dropped her few bread lofts and she rubbed my knees instead of saying thank you. All of the sudden, my dog came and saw the cat. The cat immediately ran away through the rain.. Leaving me alone with some mixed feelings. I hope you survive out there, little cat:-)

Fall is coming!

Picture taken near IPB's library. I love the reflection on the lake's surface

It should be a sunset. I guess I didn't get the correct color-tuner :(

I took this in stable near my boarding house, the scenery was nice and I love the 'peacefulness' aspect :)

Flowers in my boarding house, with micro focus mode and good settings, I love the color and sharpness

Part Time Job

2009-09-29T17:13:00.007+07:00

Fiuh.. For the first time,this 19 years old Rio chose to do a part time job! I worked at Praktek Dokter Hewan Bersama Drh Cucu Kartini in Greengarden.

I was asked by my senior, Tetty, "Do you have time in next holiday?"

"Yes, why?"

"Well, do you want a part time job in Drh.Cucu, Jakarta? Their paramedics and staffs are taking their lebaran holiday, so we're lack of people there."

"Okay, I'm going then"

"Btw rio, you can handle smelly and dirty things, can't you?"

"Hmm. sure, I have a pom in my home, so.."

"Allright, just to remind you though.."

I was wondering about what Tetty had told me, 'does it hard? like, very hard?'. I kept that thoughts in mind until the day when I went to the clinic.

And for fact, it was kinda hard! The shocking ones were that I must sleep in this narrow room with my friend, Titus. The first night was hard, and plus it was very noisy over there.. Many dogs were barking all the time.

But thankfully, I met wonderful persons there. I lived with Mas Dedi, a paramedic. He's from Bali and was a racer. He's very knowledgeable with medicines and cases, so I learned a lot from him. Second is Mas Yoseph. He's a staff who works in petshop and in clinic too. The man who takes care of everything in the clinic is Mas Eko. He was like a father-figure for me, because he was our caretaker. I was sick in the third day, and he's the one who responsible for me. He's got D3 in IPB veterinary medicine, so he also serves as pharmacist in clinic.

There is also Mas Anang, the one who works as paramedic and animal inn. He lives near the clinic, so he doesn't sleep in clinic. He's responsible to take care of the dogs. Their food, their water, cleanliness and many more. I worked with him in the most of time. We worked from 6.30AM until 9.30AM, and then 14.00 until 16.30. The job includes:
1. Clean the water bowls and food bowls (50 dogs, so 100 bowls)
2. Clean the pens, make sure it doesn't have any pee stain nor poops.
3. Wipe the floor, make sure it clean and fresh
4. Feed the dogs. Every dog is different. There are some who can't take chickens, and etc. So we must be careful.

In the meanwhile, we can assist the paramedics in clinic downstairs. Me and Titus met many doctors, and valuable ones, there are Vet Endang, Vet Rotoro, Vet Diah, Vet Grace and also Vet Sukamto. We studied different types of dogs, the symptoms and also surgical operation with Vet Endang.

I learned how to survive on our own, and developed into more grown up man. Titus was right, we grow by experience different things in our life. So, please do not let your valuable days away that easily!

I gained many things in this part time job.. And I can't wait to get another one!

From left to right:
Titus, Yoseph, Dedi, Eko, Anang and Me.

Muallaf?

2009-09-18T18:25:00.003+07:00

Have you ever heard 'mualaf' word in your life?
Well, basicly I didn't. I have just found the meaning of it a moment ago.
From the internet, I found that Mualaf means "people who is newbie for being Muslim" or casually means "people from other religion who convert to Islam".

Eventhough I only browsed for less than 10 minutes, I got shocking news bout this muallaf things. I found many websites which show lots of encouragements to people who want to change their religion. In certain and specific way, they disrespect other religion, especially Christians.

And wew, I surprised. Being a catholic, I don't really care bout others religion. We are humans, with same blood and bone structure, so why bother other religion? I really disrespect those narrow minded people.

I don't care who you are, a buddhist, catholic, christians, moslems, or hindus, don't bother to crack our relationships toward others.

anyone agree??

A Couple Story

2009-09-13T15:53:00.004+07:00

Hmm.. It's been a while since I updated my blog.. About a month ago, I think?

For now, I would like to type about something melancholic. Yup.. From the title, it's all about couples.

Lately, there are so many troubles and cases which related to couple's problem. People who got rejected, who got new boyfriend or girlfriend, who got stabbed from behind, who got desperate. And many more..

I've been thinking a lot lately bout this thing.. What's a definition of couple anyway?? From thesaurus, couple means :

couple - a pair who associate with one another; "the engaged couple"; "an inseparable twosome"

twosome, duet, duo

pair - two people considered as a unit

same-sex marriage - two people of the same sex who live together as a family; "the legal status of same-sex marriages has been hotly debated"

couple - a pair of people who live together; "a married couple from Chicago"

mates, match

family unit, family - primary social group; parents and children; "he wanted to have a good job before starting a family"

power couple - a couple both of whom have high-powered careers or are politically influential

DINK - a couple who both have careers and no children (an acronym for dual income no kids)

For me, getting a couple means getting a lifetime-mate. She must be a person who I cherish the most, and a person who is capable to fill empty holes and spots in my current self. I see many couples in my life, and there are so many varieties of them. Humans are sure weird. Some of them need 6-8 months to see if he/she is the one for them, but some only need couples of weeks even days. Some people see 'future companion' in their couple, while some of them see 'current companion'. Some people cry when he/she got bored with them, while some of them search new boyfriend/girlfriend right away. Some couple adore existence of 'friends' in their relationship, while some of them not.

But above all reasons, all that they do are searching for companion and in the name of 'love', they get into each other. If I said humans are weird earlier, love is much weirder. Some people say that love is so warm and gentle, it makes our life beautiful! While love also hurts people, it ignites tears in our eyes.. Love is forgiving, but love is also egoist. It doesn't care about nobody, except "me and my mate"

I saw many shapes of love in my life, and I'm sure I will see a lot more of it.

To all my friends who in love, experiencing love, desperate because of love,
please do adore your current life, because we learn and grow with these 'love' moments in our journey..

Ai Kago - No Hesitation

2009-08-07T21:40:00.003+07:00

I'm so in love with Kago Ai's latest PV, "No Hesitation"
Its lyric is very good and encouraging! Especially in times like this..

Everyone please check this out, maybe you'll gain some courage and energy too for your life :)
I'm glad Kago Ai back with nice single.. Haha.. I love outdoor PVs like this..
It has summer feelings

Romaji Lyric w/ translation:

tooku hanarete
chigau kuuki wo abite
futto miagereba
sora ga mitsumeteta

Far away,
breathing in a different wind [air]
I suddenly look
to see the sky gazing at me

hanpa na kimochi bura sagette
ooki na nimotsu kata ni sagete
sonna no wa mou irannai
atarashiku hajimeru no

Hanging up my half hearted feelings
And hanging my heavy baggage on my shoulders
I don't these these anymore
I'll start fresh~

*ame agari no hareta sora ni
niji wo egakou yeah~
anata ni ai ga todoku you ni
kiss wo komete

The sunny skies after the heavy rain
I'll draw a rainbow
So that this love can reach you
I'll send you this kiss

**kumorizora wo oikoshitara
doko ni datte yukeru kara
No Hesitation

If I can get past those cloudy skies,
Doesn't matter where,I can go anywhere
No Hesitation

Deau mono subete
imi ga aru to kizuita
tou mawari shita
keshiki itoshikute

To every occurance
I realized there is a meaning.
Going around the long road
The view was so precious.

kushakusha no chizu wo hirogete
boroboro ni natta kutsu de aruku
sore ga watashi rashii no
jibun rashiku susumeba ii

Opening this crumbled map
Walking foward with these worn out shoes
This is more like me,
I just have to go forward like who I am.

Niji no mukou e ai ni yukou
hateshinai sora yeah~
anata ni omoi todoketakute
shikatanai kara

Over the rainbow, lets go meet
The endless skies~
I want to let you know my feelings so bad,
It can't be helped

*Repeat

Sushi @ GI

2009-07-31T20:18:00.003+07:00

Today, I went to Grand Indonesia with Ryan and Vinsen. Ryan has just back from US, so we decided to meet each other before its too late. LoL..

He gave me the 'item' I ordered from eBay ^^
It's $32, but it's cheaper than Jakarta's.. I found one with IDR 520.000 price in mangga dua o.0

We met up @ 1pm, so we took our lunch @ Kiyadon Sushi. We had 4 big plates of sushi.. It's kinda expensive though.. but the Tom & Jerry was delicious. You should try that one.. :)

Talked bout high school life and our current life, and it's kinda fun. Ryan lost some weight, LoL.

Here's some pics

FLC's featuring Andrew Sugianto

2009-07-17T15:03:00.007+07:00

Hey.. Got bored lately.. And I don't have any ideas what to write

But suddenly I have an idea after I chat with my friend :P
and he's the lucky number one to get into this new section of Winding-Life..
"Friend's Life Corner" (FLC) wkwkwk..

Me:
"It seems that you're always having fun with your life, full of smile, and everything.. Is that right?"
Andrew:
"That's right! Live in peace and harmony.. That's a man way! (Laughing)
Me:
"Hiyaah.. Well, I think that's sorta interesting trying live that way.. If you have to imagine what will you be in the next 5 years, what it will be?"
Andrew:
"I think I'll be still live peacefully with harmony. No heavy things in my mind. (Laugh again)
Me:
"Waw, I'm kinda lost.. peaceful and harmony in what term?"
Andrew:
"Hmm.. Just live your life earnestly and let it flow, it will be peaceful don't you think?"
Me:
"Could you give me some example, what kind of living is that?"
Andrew:
"Well.. Just let it flow. Don't insist on everything. Be grateful of what you've already had.. Am I sort of pastor or what? (LoL).. I'm kidding, there's no way I can live like that 100%.. Well maybe 50%"
Me:
"So how bout the other half of it?"
Andrew:
"Life with full of greed and lots of demand. Muwahahahaa (Evil Laugh)
Me:" Phew, so it is 100% different from the other half. I'm interested in this second one. Can you explain more?"
Andrew:
"That's human for you. (LoL) Could we stop this conversation? Haha"
Me:
"Could you give me an example, of this "greed and demand" thingy?"
Andrew:
"I'm wondering if you ask the same questions with your college friends (LoL) I think you should become a reporter rather than a vet. Hmm.. Examples? Maybe new clothes, new cellphone, new console.. Wew aren't that many?"
Me:
"Okay last questionnn.. Have you ever feeling down or in the bad mood once in your life?"
Andrew:
"Of course I did! Hmm.. but I forget when. Probably when I was in elementary school, just because I failed getting into the top 10. (Laughing)"

So that's conclude my interview with one of my besties, Andrew Sugianto! He does have some character, doesn't he?

I wish that I could have some of his trait though. It's very useful especially when you're feeling down. But I don't think I can be sort of "Happy-Go-Lucky" person like him. Hahaha..

Oh yeah, he's single, smart (he got into some "famous" college) and of course handsome. Wkwkw.. You can find him @ his facebook
Hmm.. Wondering.. who's the next target? haha

Pheww

2009-07-14T21:47:00.003+07:00

There are so many sad things happened today..

First, I went to NEC Service Center to repair my notebook. It can't detect any MMC so I can't upload any pics from my digcam neither.. The woman said that it will take more than 3 weeks to repair it

Second, I also went to Casio Service Center to repair my broken digital camera. It can't stand any outdoor pictures. The result is so bright and white. But it works fine with night or indoor condition. I thought that it's only a simple matter, but the repairman said that it has a serious damage on its lenses and need to be replaced with the new one. When I ask "How much?", he said "maybe around 2 millions", I said "WHAAT??"

And after that, I got mail from Widyo, my friend in IPB, and he told me about my grades. Damn it hurts. Apparently I got so many mistakes in the last exam and I only got B for Calculus and Physics. I wondered how my GPA turns out. I can't afford any B anymoree

Aside of that, it's been a nostalgic day. I went to Sarinah with Ribby and took a tour around my elementary school. I met Mrs.Desi and she didn't recognize me. "You have become thinner. I mean, a lot" she said. ^^

St.Theresia Elementary School has changed more than I can imagine. Now it has 3rd floor, with many upgrades.

Met Christy, Vania and San-san too @ the high school gate. They were selling the St Theresia Orchestra's concert. I'm quite interested though, the cheapest one is 75,000 and the VVIP's one is 300,000 if I'm not mistaken. It uses Balai Sarbini, so can't be any cheaper I think.

I also met Hendry and his friend, Henpy, @ the church. They were eating when I saw them.

Baccckkkkk too my house..
My mom had an idea to bring shiro to Laras Satwa @ BSD City. Shiro has skin and fungi problems and he needs an "anti-fungi bath"

But the petshop didn't accept any bath service anymore because it's already late.
So we decided to bring him tommorow =)

Bought a new dog food for shiro. The name is ProSeries . It has a good smell of fish and shiro loves it. Maybe you doglovers should try it too.

IAAS Goes To ASEAN and WWF

2009-07-06T21:06:00.006+07:00

Today, on Monday, July 06 2009, I went to ASEAN Secretariat and WWF Indonesia with my IAAS friends. What's IAAS? You can see www.iaasworld.org
for more information. Basically, it's my current active organization from IPB.

First, we gathered up @ ASEAN Secretariat located on Sisingamaharaja Road, Jakarta. It was 9AM in the morning and we must use our alumnus jacket to get in the secretariat. The security is pretty strict

We met with ASEAN representative at 10 AM, and after we introduce the IAAS itself to them, we got a presentation from them about what ASEAN does in 10 countries. We also had a Q&A session discussing many issues and problems related to agriculture.
It wasn't THAT interesting, but I listened to it very carefully. Some of my friends, were just sitting and facebook-ing during the discussion. LOL. They said that they have many projects related to us as university students in Indonesia, organized by ASEAN University Networks. You can contact them to be your sponsor in their website

After that, we went to WWF.
And unlike ASEAN, WWF turns out to be a cool and funky organization with many lively officers!

We got a 100% free lunch in nearby cafe plus the coffee break session, and after that we got a cheerfully introduction from them..

One of them said "The last thing that I wanna hear from you guys is that when your friends ask 'what is WWF?' and you say 'An Animal Lover Organization' " LOL

Well, WWF is more than just care about wild and endangered animals, but also the whole environment. So that's include freshwater, forestry, marine life, social problems and many more. Neat huh?

It really opened my mind. Currently they have a main project called "Heart of Borneo" or simply called by HoB. This is the collaboration project between Indonesia, Brunei Darussalam and Malaysia which mainly aims about preserving the Borneo forest. As we all know, palm oil industries and other agriculture industries are damaging the forest in Kalimantan. They cut the trees and open new fields for crops.

They also have Rhinocare program which is focusing on JavanRhinos Conservation in Ujung Kulon. The poor rhinos are only 54 left in this world and their fragile futures are in our hands!

We can also actively contribute to save them by send donations to WWF HERE

Please guys! Save our environment!
For more useful tips how to save our world, you can go to WWF Website

Overall, I'm really impressed with today's journey :)

Hope we can save our world together..

There'll be a big event for IPB's catholic students on 17th of May like I've said before,

It's Paskah Mahasiswa 2009 Sekeuskupan Bogor! Well, I don't know the translation so , I'm using Bahasa.. Hehee

I had a duty to make some poster and ticket layouts, and after few hours with adobe photoshop, cropping and dragging, I've done it! Yey!

Here's the picture

Poster Layout

Ticket Layout

Kinda cute isn't it? Hwhw.. I especially love the rabbits on poster and ticket. I'm so Vet-ish no? haha

I want a DigCam!!

2009-05-08T07:55:00.002+07:00

Phew, it has been a while since I posted something in this blog. This blog is going to its vegetative state isn't it? Well.. Maybe after I have internet connection in my boarding-house, things will get better.

I'm really into buying a digital camera right now, why? Because tomorrow, I have to give back my brother's digcam to him, and since I'm borrowing it, I cannot refuse it right?? =S He needs it for his job.

Moreover, I'm kinda not satisfied with my bro's cam, it can't focus in daylight, the picture quality is very bad *.* he said to me that it once fell into sea back when he was in Bali.

I need a digcam in my life nowdays, first, recently I've been the coordinator of documentation in many events, the closest one is easter on 17th of may. And I can't afford to not have a camera right? And in near future, I also need some documentation in my faculty. To snapshot internal parts of animals, animals tissues and so on. Last, I love taking pictures and make some documentation of my life.

Afterall I've stated above, it's reasonable for me to spend my money on this, no? =P

Indonesian Election 2009

2009-04-09T23:12:00.002+07:00

Huaah.. Sudahkah anda mencontreng hari ini??

That's a common question for today, because today it's the election day!
I have back to my home sweet home (finally) for today's election. ^^

This morning, around 11AM, me and my mom visited the election stand for voting. The voting would be closed at 12PM, so there were many people standing in line. We must choose 3 person for each DPRD, DPD, DPRRI. I didn't even know what are those abbreviations stand for. Lots of persons and pictures, there was a party give 15 candidates for DPRD. What the?

To be truthful, 2009 election is dreadful and horrible. People are being clueless and easily being driven by powerful party such as Demokrat and Golkar.

On PemiluIndonesia.com , the polling show that SBY still leading its popularity.

SBY (49%, 2,957 Votes)
Hidayat Nurwahid (17%, 1,054 Votes)
Prabowo (11%, 682 Votes)
Sri Sultan HB X (8%, 503 Votes)
Megawati (6%, 393 Votes)
Jusuf Kalla (3%, 178 Votes)
Sutrisno Bachir (2%, 123 Votes)
Wiranto (2%, 119 Votes)
Sutiyoso (1%, 53 Votes) Total Voters: 6,062

There were lots of people throw their vote out too. Quick count result said that 28% of voters didn't give any marks on their leaflet.

I found some interesting facebook groups too :)
for example Say No To Megawati, Say No To Prabowo and Say Yes to SBY

Argghh.. it's getting insane in Indonesia.. >.<

Okay, at last after those long days without posting anything.. I can post something.. :-) I hv just bought new 3's number. It has lots of promotion, and one of them is 'free internet access'. Nice isn't it? The only thing that's sucks is, there's a limit.. And the limit is only 500kb a day. What the?! I'm typing with my cellphone right n0w, and I set it to 'text only' in order to compress the data usage.. I'm attending IAAS meeting right n0w, so that's it for n0w..

Level of prosperity in Jakarta

2009-03-08T08:48:00.003+07:00

Well, I was going to write "in Indonesia", but to be blunt, I think Jakarta is the only city in state where there's big gap of richness between its people.

Yesterday, I went home alone by bus from Bogor to Jakarta. I spent approx. 3 hours journey from my campus to my house. Being a man, I felt quite embarrassed because that was my first time I used public transport before. Usually I have my family accompany me using private car. Was it nice? I doubt it. I got to sit in the back of the bus, without cushion, only a box. The bus was so full, I could barely breath back then. I expected more with IDR 12.000 ticket actually, but whatever.

Being in that bus for 2 hours, I spent my time to think about this big difference of prosperity in Jakarta. First, I saw singing beggar(in the middle of the photo) standing inside the bus all the time, singing for their income, while I sat nicely. Second, I saw a woman with her baby (the woman with pink scarf) standing inside the bus, probably because her baby was crying, and she stood to calm him and give him some air. In my whole life, my mother never brings me with public bus. I use private car from my childhood. It just like, okay, a big difference. Third, I saw the government cars, making their own special way in the toll, using some mercedes or other f**king expensive cars. I thought, "There are other people too you know, it's not only you who doesn't want to get trapped in the traffic jam!". BIG difference. I saw some guys in the bus cursed them with some unpolite language, and I was quite understand their feelings. It was hot, and small in there,while there were also many private cars surround us. I imagined how well the private car is. Full of air-con, we can play our favorite CDs, and so on. When I said to my friend about using public bus, he said to me, "Oh god, you are crazy. Why don't you call your mom to pick you up? It's not safe using public bus, with your chinese look, you can easily be their target of crime!". I appreciate that he concerns bout my safety, but well, big different way of thinking. Eventhough all of those people I mention above, are just people. Wondering why.

Lesson that I learned;
1. I learned to appreciate things. I will stop begging for a new car, mom. LOL
2. I learned to understand the fact that there are many persons out there, working on their life, which is much harder than my life.
3. I'm learning to understand how difficult the lower level is, and how extravagant the upper level is. I want to increase my level of prosperity too, of course, but I want to keep in mind that, there are those people out there, after I succeed.

Went home!

2009-03-08T00:00:00.005+07:00

Yesterday, me, sherly, nikita and andrew went to Botani Square to watch Kambing Jantan. It was just released at 5 march, so it's still new and I had nobody to give me some critics or comments bout this film yet.

We got tickets for 14.15, and it was still 12.30 at that time. So, we strolled around the mall. We went to Sport Warehouse 80% discount sale, Adidas, but there were nothing special.

After that, we ate at Solaria. We ordered some fried rices. It was quite good, not too shabby.

The portion was rather big for moderate price.

We bought Jolly Time's cheezy 'something'; it was so yummy we should bought 2 bags instead of one :( we ate it for the first 15 minutes.

The film itself? Bah. Boring. At first, I really excited for the movie after I saw there were a lot of people, hangin' around the studio, waiting for the movie. They were high school students, primarily. I saw few junior students and aunties too. But after I watched it, meeeh.. Not my taste. Okay, I really respect Raditya Dika as a famous Indonesian Blogger. His blog is really good, and it was a hit in Indonesia. But please, transform some diaries into film, it's not a good idea. I really couldn't find the climax in the film. Okay, he went to australia, okay, he fighted with his girlfriend, okay, his blog was a hit, okay, he came back to Indonesia. THAT'S IT? ARGH GIVE MY MONEY BAACK

It's just my opinion though. During the film, 80% of the viewers laughed sarcasticly while I was like "What the? Should I laugh? It's the funny part?". Well, maybe I'm wrong, maybe there's something block my funny-nerves in my brain. But it's just not too funny.

Kambing: "Kebo, aku sayang kamu nih"
Kebo : "Aku juga.. Mbing, aneh ya, padahal kita jauh gini, tapi kita tetep sedang melihat bulan yang sama.."
Kambing:"Iya ya.."

He called her Kebo while called himself Kambing, why don't he try another animals like, kera? or kelinci? or maybe tikus?

Hhh.. Again, it's just my opinion. Maybe you think that film is hilarious. Fine with me.

Rate: 2.5/5

Love and Friendship

2009-03-07T23:31:00.003+07:00

Got some dramas in my life recently.

In less than one week, I nearly broke 3 close-relationships at the same time. Well, it's not their fault, neither mine, but the situation spice things up.
People can get ugly and forget everything when it comes to love. While true friendship should stay strong when things get ugly. Well, I'm still wondering though, how strong my friendship is, or his friendship is.

The facts that I learned are;
1. Situation has changed, I have to adapt things. Even animals adapt to their current revolving environment.
2. Situation won't back to those days. I have to accept things.
3. Love overcomes friendship. Yeaah.. It damn right. Think second before you believe.
4. Being angry or emotional never solve anything. I learned how to maintain relationship and solve things with cold head. It makes you calm, even if you are f**king mad.
3. Now I'm learning to be solitary. I'm not alone, but I learned how to do things by myself. It's a very good lesson. Some of my friends told me that I'm spoiled, so, it really good. Trust me, I need it. So are you.

I think it's wonderful how I got through this, experiencing life..

Lesson learned!

A Quiz

2009-02-21T00:40:00.002+07:00

Took a quiz from Niken. It's a unique quiz though. You might wanna try it for yourself :)

http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx

Your view on yourself:

You are intelligent, honest and sweet. You are friendly to everybody and don't like conflict. Because you're so cheerful and fun people are naturally attracted to you and like to talk to you.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:

You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education

Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:

You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:

You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

Current Mood: Not so well, had been better.

Garlic Bread = Garlic Breath

2009-02-15T15:02:00.003+07:00

Today, I have garlic-breath all the time!

Recently I'm so into garlic bread for breakfast. This morning I ate 2 toasted plain bread spread with minced garlic; and this time I add too much garlic
It still remains even though I've already brushed my teeth.

It will be my last day in Jakarta too; I'll go back to Bogor in any minutes now. Hopefully I can update this blog weekly with bad internet connection there.

Churches are soo full lately. I went to Sang Timur Church this morning and didn't get any parking lot. So I went to St.Theresia Church in the afternoon. It was so full too, but atleast I got a parking lot left. It's an international mass using English Languages in Jakarta. Here's the info:

St. Peter Canisius International Catholic Parish, Jakarta, Indonesia
The masses schedule:
Saturdays @ 04.00 PM Location: St. Theresia [021-7512669]
Sundays @ 11.00 AM Location: St. Theresia
@ 06.00 PM Location: St. Peter Canisius [021-336464]

It's kinda hard to find some international catholic masses in Jakarta, so, there's a lot of foreign people attending this mass. There's Africans, Europeans, Indians, and Asian tourists. Most of people who attends are middle to high class too. The womens were full of make-up and stylish dresses, some of them were sms-ing in the middle of mass. It's not like they are hang-outs in church or something, but I found it kinda disturbing.

For information, the choir was very good. The songs are nice too.. I really adore it.

Found some nice lyrics of their songs :)

Things in the past, things yet unseen, wishes and dreams that are yet to come true
All of my hopes, all of my plans, my heart and my hands are lifted to you
Lord, I offer my life to you, everything I've been through.. use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to you, lifting my praise to you as a pleasing sacrifice..
Lord, I offer you my life..

Take and receive, O Lord my liberty.
Take all my will, my mind, my memory.
All that I have, You have given all to me
Now I return it to be governed by Your will.
Just say Your word to me at once I will obey.
Your love is wealth enough for me, all else will I forego..

Happy Sunday!

Not so fine Valentine

2009-02-14T14:34:00.007+07:00

This is definitely not my best valentine ever!!

First; I'm not a student anymore in this valentine, I'm in holiday! So, I can't meet with my school friends, we're not in the same class any longer.

Second; I'm still single in this valentine, so having a romantic dinner with a girl is definite no-no.

Third; Today there's a lot of work to do!
I had some clean-up jobs to do in my house,soo tired

I saw many comics and PS2 games.. And I don't need it in my new room anymore.

These are my PS2 games.. I bought it for IDR 10.000 each if I'm not mistaken.. I'm going to sell(or dump it) the left (higher) one, and keep the right ones. If I calculated all of these things, they worth more than IDR 500.000! What a money to lost.

But I don't need them anymore, I have other things to do rather than playing Xenosaga I or Tekken 5.

Today I also went to Serpong to take care of my house. It needs some renovating and we met the contractor who will do the renovation. It took hell of time and before we knew it's already 6.30 PM. After dinner, we went to Home Depo nearby and bought some paint for my room. I'll go back to Bogor tommorow and probably will not have time to buy it later. So, we decided to buy it right away. I chose light purple(the color of 'Taro') and darker cloudy purple for my room. Hopefully it went well like my expectations. We bought 3x 2,5kgs(IDR 99.000 each); that's quite expensive.

I also bought a 'lock and lock' water bottle for IDR 57.000. I think it's a good investation for tommorow, using ordinary plastic aqua bottle repeatly will harm your body by its chemical substances and I need a permanent plastic bottle for my daily water bottle. It's quite expensive too, but I think it's worth.

Last but not least, Happy Valentine everyone!

Here's some music suggestion for you,
Chocolate Disco from Perfume;
Perfume is a 3-girl group of technopop in Japan. It's quite interesting and catchy for me. Chocolate Disco is the favorite song voted by Japanese girls for this valentine;based on Oricon Survey.

IPB vs UI

2009-02-11T21:50:00.013+07:00

Today I had a journey to University of Indonesia known as UI. As the representative of university in Indonesia; I was really curious to see the campus and facilites. So, I met one of my besties, Tiana, for tour-guiding. She's studying law in UI. And the result? "Shocking!"

When I first got into UI area, it has a long nice road surrounded by palm trees. Nice pavements, clean grass. Totally different compared to my campus. We don't have any sidewalk like that. (the red one in the picture)

There are may cafes and canteens around the blocks. And the canteen? Surprisingly nice. (Right pic) I must take pics of my canteen later so you can compare it. Ouh I forgot, I don't even have any proper canteen!

They even have some fish pond in the middle plaza!
I'm astounded.

And astounded even more when I see a Korean Restaurant in the middle of campus. A restaurant! I must drive 30 minutes to Bogor if I want to eat some Korean of Japanese, and they can have it just like, 30sec or 1minute from their classes? Gosh.

Further inside, they have this big red bridge for crossing their big artificial lake. Am I in Dufan or something??
I took a pic of it. There's Tiana :)

And then we went to Faculty of Economy and met my high-school friend, Jojo, there. In its canteen, we had a talk and eat its popular dessert menu, The Strawberry Jelly. Basicly it's ice with syrup, slices of strawberries and also instant jelly. The taste? It's quite good and refreshing for its price (5.000 IDR). We met Michelle after that, she's my junior high school friend and studies pharmacy in UI.

It's already 1 PM and I was starving. I hesitated to eat in that Korean Resto. I also met Ribby, my childhood friend. She's studying English Literature.

I ordered Bee bim bab and Yulmu-cha. I was in the mood for spending some money back then. But I kinda regret it. The Bee bim bab was fine, but JUST fine. Yulmu-cha is a new thing for me, it's milk mix with cocoa powder and brewed walnut and chestnut in it. Michelle said, "taste like cereal". My gosh.. o.0 and to be truthful, it's not that special either. And I spent 8.000 IDR on that Yulmu-cha and 32.000 IDR for bee bim bab. What a bummer~

Yulmu-cha

Bee bim bab with Kimchi and Nori(?)

Just before leaving, Pritha came and we took a pic together.

Ribby, Me, Pritha, Michelle and Tiana

Boy its all girls! I'm such a lucky boy. haha..

After lunch, Me and Tiana went to Michelle's boarding house. It's good but totally expensive! For a 3x5 air-con room with bathroom in it, it costs 700.000 IDR per month. 4 months in her boarding house equal to 1 year in my boarding house! Another damn~

My conclusion, I would love to study there if there was Faculty of Veterinary Medicine there. Haha.

But you know, there's a basic difference between IPB and UI. The faculties are totally different. There's no Forestry, Fisheries or Agriculture faculties in UI, and there's no Law, Literature Science, Technic faculties either in IPB.

So I can't compared these two universities :P

Strolling round the town

2009-02-10T22:54:00.006+07:00

This day I had some busy schedule ^^

My high-school friend, Robert, kept asking me to meet and play dotA together, so I picked him and went to 24 Internet Cafe in Sarinah.

There were only 3-4 people in there =3 it's Tuesday anyway.
It was soo cold in there, there were many air-cons but very few people.
The result? I got bullied by him -.-
I don't really like that game so I don't even care to much, but I got some tips and tricks from him :)

It was his treat too. Yay!

There was a incident though, I lost track of my parking ticket! @_@ I was so nervous and upset at that time; god it's suck if I really lost it.

Luckily I was not :P
After 5-7 minutes searching all around the car, I finally got it. It slipped in my car's key pocket! Damn X(

After that we went to Grand Indonesia and met Niken & Risma @ Food Louve. Had a "Nasi Liwet" from Sate Khas Senayan. It's not that tasty and it was quite expensive. Another damn! XD

Risma wanted to see the contemporer art exhibition on ground floor; and there's a big aquarium there!

Me with a giant shrimp

Me and Niken

There's also big miniature of elephants in the middle of the exhibition. There's some current issues written there. For example: Uang adalah Tuhan ( Money is God) , Aku Juga Rasis (I'm also a racist)

After that we went to eX to see their new building. I realized that I haven't visit eX for almost 9 months! o.0. Too much studying in forest made me a villager -,-

The journey hasn't stopped there. I had to send back those girls back to their home. There were a lots of traffic jams in Jakarta, especially around 5-6pm. I dropped Niken @ MTA and Risma @ her house in Bintaro. We started 6pm from Grand Indonesia and I finally got back to my home @ 10pm. God that's a lot of time. It took 4 hours XS. But on the other side, I get to know some new areas and districts :) I also the first man who has come to Risma's house. haha..

I also got lost when I back from Risma's house; it's my first time driving in that area. I even troubled her mom to make a map and accompany me to get out from her district.

Finally home =)

Browsing blogs; and kept stuck in bella's blog :)
I didn't have time to read it all back then, and I'm happy to see her blog ^^

I also had a personality test from her blog too

A sleepover!

2009-02-09T09:31:00.006+07:00

Had a sleepover in my sister's home :) I had already visited her once, but it was already 1 year ago XD

We talked bout anything, and I lent her my Marley & Me book. It's a very good and has touching story. For more information you can search it in my wikipedia search @ the bottom of this page. I really recommend it to every animal especially dogs lover :)

She also has dog named Bobu; he's a 6 years old mixed breed dog. He's very obedient and calm. He's such a spoiled dog when it comes to his owner. XD~

He might be my future patient :P

In the morning, we had an all-you-can eat dimsum next to a golf court. The views were amazing, but unfortunately it was very very cold XD It was raining back then. Even my chinese tea became cold just in few minutes :S

The menu itself didn't have enough variety. It only served 5-6 variant. Well, it equals to its price though; 35.000 IDR for all you can eat and tea refill. Not too expensive compared to others all you can eat program..

J-K Music Review

2009-02-07T21:34:00.003+07:00

Huah.. Dunno why, but I'm in the mood to make some new posts, so I'll decide to post one :P

I'm going to review some of my favorite songs in J-pop and K-pop music. Most of them are boys/girl's band =P I'll review english songs later..

1. First is So Nyeo Shi Dae's new single; Gee

Gee has been a hit when it was released @ January 09. Most of my friends love this song; even girls are fall in love with it. The girls are using simple t-shirts and colorful 80's jeans; "it's stylish and cute" quote from my friend. Personally I think the song is not as good as their previous singles, such as Into New World and Kissing You. It's repetitive and rather plain. No high notes, but still lovely. I'm happy for their comeback =) My Rating: 3.5/5

2.DongBangShinKi - Mirotic
I'm not a big fan of DBSK, but this korean group is very popular among my girl friends. However, I like this single. The choreography is very nice! There's alot of slides and interesting moves. I even tried to learn it. The music itself is catchy and their voices are good. I prefer the live performance though. It's kinda disturbing for me to see their close-ups and those bodies in their MV XD~ I'm not girl okey? The hairstyles are weird in my opinion. My Rating:3/5

3.Morning Musume - Naichau Kamo
Their new single! It will be released on 18 Feb. I hope they rank those oricon chart this time. I'm a fan of morning musume since 2007 and I love them. The music video itself its good comparing to their previous last MV; so it's a plus. I love their rain-scene, I think they're nailed it. Not a big fan of their dance moves though especially in their interlude. The song itself is good; nice rythem and catchy tunes.
My Rating: 4/5

4.Kara - Pretty Girl
This MV rocks! Colorful clothes, colorful background, lots of close-ups. The song is catchy also. Kara is not as famous as SNSD, but they're trying. That's the spirit! This song was a hit too in late 2008. My Rating: 4/5

Soo tired

Live Report

I have just finished my meal @ HokBen and bought a novel for my sister's bday, and quickly went to downtownwalk to go online :)

I heard that SMS (Summarecon Mall Serpong) has free Wi-Fi; so I was going to try it! In order to obtain the username and password in CBN-Net, you must give your bill after you buy something in this mall. There's no minimum amount, so I recommend you to just buy something to drink and snack @ Farmers Market. After that, you'll have an ID for 3 hours usage. Cheap!

And luckily it's fast too.. ^^ I can browse youtube and skype-ing without any problem.

This morning I had 3 hours long taking classes @ Gold's Gym. First was Hip-Hop Class. It was fun and the moves were nice; eventhough I was troubled with the steps X(.

Second was Body Pump. It's basicly lifting weight to train your bisep, trisep, back, and much more. Yesterday I took 10kg and I barely could move my arms. Now I took 7kg one; still hard too X)

The last was Body Combat! It was fun! It's definitely my favorite class. It's my second time to take this class, at first I didn't have so much fun, but right now, I really enjoyed that class. Featuring combat and capoeira moves and energetic song, it's very energizing and powerful. I imagined kicking and punching people that I hated XD. It's working! I felt more relieved :P

Here's some example of Body Combat Class:

I'm looking forward for the next class :) Hopefully I can implement some of its moves in my aerobic exam later ^^

Flowers!

2009-02-06T17:05:00.006+07:00

took some flower pics from my auntie's house. I believe she called it steven notes or something.. but I can't search it in google or wikipedia.

But the flowers are fantastic. She kept telling me that it's rare to see those flowers bloom bloom at the same time. There are lots of flower up to the rooftop! ^^

With my digital camera, I tried my best to capture it, but well .. =.= I'm a beginner afterall.. hehe.. many of them were blurred. Here's some my best-shot

Personally I love the last picture best. I hope that me and all of you can bloom beautifully like those flowers too :)

Happy Pre-Valentine! haha..

Gold's Gym Summarecon Serpong

2009-02-06T12:25:00.002+07:00

Recently I've been joining gold's gym @ summarecon mall serpong (mostly known as SMS) located in Gading Serpong ;which will be my new home (soon).

I got one week free trial recommended by my cousin, so I immediately accepted it, atleast it can fill my 'blank' holiday :)

Left: I took this picture @ their cafe, it's a small cafe and the overall gymnasium is not as big as CF or FF in MTA or EX, but the equipments are quite satisfying.

The classes are not as many as CF, but it does have some classes which I interested, such as body combat, body pump and hip hop^^ I have already tried the body combat and body pump, but I haven't tried hip hop yet. I think I'll try it tommorow.

As for their bathroom, I'm quite satisfied. The towel is not smelly and it's clean. The bathrooms itself has soaps, shampoos and hot-cold water available. But in the evening, it gets pretty crowded and overloaded.

The bathrooms don't have any lock; I don't know if the other gyms also don't have it, but personally I'm a little bit disturbed.

So that's my basic review for Gold's Gym @SMS.

Located in perfect spot outside the mall, and straight-forward to outdoor restos and cafes, I'll give 3,5 / 5 :P

Pizza hut Fishchips

2009-02-04T11:23:00.008+07:00

Just tried new menu from pizza hut yesterday; Fishchips.

It's filled with sliced fried Dori fish, cream mayo, poured with chips (the chips are from Lays I think?! It has the same taste. haha)

Overall, I give this new menu 3.5/5.
It's not as good as the other pizzas but it has fresh taste of pizza. All of the ingredients blended well and it's muuch muchh better than previous pizza PekingDuck. yucks.

I also tried Orange Lychee Sparkle; new beverages from Pizza Hut. As usual, they only mix something with something and then called them bla bla bla sparkle. It was orange juice (not a fresh ones) mixed with lychee syrup. It's not delicious or something, but I think it's quite fresh.
The pitcher ones priced 23.000 IDR and can cover up to 5 person (can't expect an extra though!)

Another new template

2009-02-04T11:08:00.001+07:00

The previous template sucks!!

I have changed the template to the new one. I think this new template is much better than the previous one.. It's neat :)

Going veggie

2009-02-04T10:35:00.002+07:00

2 days ago I had some vegetarian noodle in KTC Kelapa Gading's food court. I was eager to see what does it taste, so I decided to have a noodle for my dinner (LoL)

Hmm, and it tastes quite good, surprisingly. I almost didn't recognize the differences between the vegetarian meat and the original meat. It has the same taste! It was made from tofu and beans, mixed with some seasoning. For more information you can browse in wikipedia

Well2.. if vegetarian food are good as this, maybe I'll try to become a vegetarian. Lately I'm extremely disturbed by how those human villain killed cows and chickens absurdly.

My senior said to me that slaughterhouses in Indonesia do have an electric shocker for cows. Basically they should shock those cows until it faints and then cut them. It this way, animals do not have to endure major pain during the cutting. But! they don't use it!! why? they prefer to push those poor cows rudely until they fall, and then cut them alive while they are screaming and crying (animals cry, you know) . My senior said that they said "It's not exciting to use shockers, I enjoy this method more"

What an insane..

Shochu

2009-02-04T10:06:00.005+07:00

Have you ever heard of shochu?

Shōchū (焼酎^?) is a distilled beverage native to Japan. It is most commonly distilled from barley, sweet potatoes, or rice. Typically, it contains 25% alcohol by volume(weaker than whisky but stronger than wine and sake). see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_by_volume for details.

Shōchū is produced everywhere in Japan, yet the home of shochu is Kyūshū island.

My friend in my boarding-house (red:Kos), Iwanaga-san, had given me a shot of shochu before I went back to Jakarta. Personally I do drink some of alcohol, my friend usually gives me some of his alcohol when I visit his house, so I eager to see what's its taste.

And it was good, I think. The interesting ones are; first, it has a nice strong fragrance and it smells like flowers and vanilla. Second is, it actually has some gold flakes in it! I was surprised when Iwanaga-san said that it was real.. I took a pic from above:

Health conscious consumers prefer shochu than other types of beverage alcohol because of its low calories. (about 15 - 20 cal. per ounce) By law, the alcohol content of Shochu must be 45 percent or less. Although most comes in at 25 percent, lower than a regular bottle of distilled spirits that are sold at 40 percent.

I don't remember the brand of this shochu but Iwanaga-san said to me that it contains 35 percent of alcohol (If I'm not mistaken), he also said that price for one bottle of shochu that he has, aprox. 300.000 IDR..

I dunno if it's available in Indonesia or not, but it's definite try for alcohol lovers :)

St Claus Day 2008

2008-12-26T16:44:00.004+07:00

On 7th December 2008, St Claus Day 2008 was held! This unforgettable moments of Kemaki'45.. There were a lot of troubles going on and people were just so pessimistic.. But thanks God, we created a successful yet joyful event!!

There were 117 participants attending our St Claus Day and it was amazing!

All thanks to my wonderful friends in Kemaki'45 and our seniors for your help..!

I've uploaded the video-short version- in youtube.

Merry X'mas people!!!

IOP 16th

2008-12-26T15:59:00.007+07:00

IOP 16.. Completed!

Fiuh,, another event has completed! With this last event, I’m freely waiting for Christmas Holiday! Although it’s only from 19 until 3rd of January, I really looking forward to it.

IOP 16 is the 16th IAAS Orientation Program. What is IAAS? It’s an international organization of agriculture students. It stands for International Association of Agriculture Student and Related Sciences. It was held in Paku, Puncak from 13th to 14th December 2008. Check our website for details. www.iaasworld.org

Me, Risma and Mike, luckily got into one team, which is Wiro Sableng Family. Yeah it’s a weird name and we were full of ignorance toward another members at the time we first met, but we got along together pretty well in the end.

There were some activities in IOP 16th such as Paper Presentation, Creativity Show and also an Outbound. I was the presenter in Paper Presentation and I barely got through it. At least it’s not that bad. Huehehe. We were disaster at the outbound and (I had some feelings before) we won the “Most Extinct Group” prize. I was so embarrassed but that’s okay, I was not really into it anyway. But to be frank, it was a memorable event. 

Here’s some pics:

Out Of Topic:
Hhh.. I'm having a flu and it turns my mood upside down.. T.T

fX Lifestyle X'nter

2008-10-19T17:20:00.009+07:00

This afternoon, I went to fX Lifestyle X'nter which is located in Jl. Jendral Sudirman, originally known as Sudirman Plaza. It was kinda exciting to see new places in town. I ate @ Bistro Delifrance.

It has 50% Food and Beverages discount with ABM Amro credit card if I'm not mistaken. Soo.. I didn't hesitate to buy any food ^^
I ordered Pates Carbonara, Spaghetti in delicious creamy sauce topped with chicken ham and parmesan cheese and Peach Blast.

Well.. For me who usually eat meals worth of only Rp.4.000,- in IPB, it was definitely delicious.

The price is quite expensive if you didn't get the discount though.

For the place, it has comfortable seats and it's a perfect place to sight-seeing while eating XD

After lunch, I walked around the mall, I was interested in fX's trade mark, Atmostfear. It's a 72 m slide from 7th floor! It was made in Germany. It was full when I went there, so I didn't ride it. FYI, for each slide, it will cost you Rp.50.000,- on weekdays, and Rp.75.000,- on weekend.

Quite a money huh?

Ow, and in fX, me, as a veterinary student, find some interesting shops. First is DoggyDolly, this shop sells many kind of clothes ranged from Rp.65.000,- until Rp.135.000,-, and yeah, it's for your lovely dogs XD

There are many variations, from simply casual, lovely chic, or even sporty dog :P

These clothes are made in Thailand, phew, I wonder who would buy that?

The second shop, is Petstyle. It has more variants than the first one, it sells snacks, tick-fleas killer, toys, some cute beds ( I liked one of them, but it has Rp.1.900.000,- tag on it =.= )
or even some modist bag to carry your dog! I saw one, and it's Rp.3.900.000,- .

My big brother said to me "Waw, we'll see 'dog hedonism' spread in this hedonist town with no time"

Well, it's good to see how well dogs are treated by humans, I hope that my career as a veterinarian will be brighter too, those dogs lover will need a proffesional to take care their tailed children right?

New Template

2008-10-18T23:19:00.002+07:00

Hmm.. I've changed the old template into the new one, it has green and calmy feelings, i love how it looks, but this template is kinda dissapointing. I think the sidebar is too narrow, my chatbox barely fits there >.<

But it will take a long time to change the template because all of my widgets and application will be deleted if I change it again T_T

It has been a long week in IPB, and I'm selected to be one of "St. Claus day" coordinator. FYI, it's a yearly event held by Kemaki. There is tight schedule until december (Oh I can't wait until next holiday ^^ ; see my countdown in my sidebar)

I'll start posting tommorow..

song for today..

2008-10-12T11:49:00.001+07:00

song for today..

Beautiful Life
Lindsay Lohan

God wont talk to me
I guess she's pretty busy lately
I'd like to believe
She's listening

I'm starting to feel
All of my bruises imagined are real
And I'll get through each day
I dig through the bad ones
To get to the good ones
Who's keeping score anyway?

And this is my beautiful life
only thing certain is everything changes
The lows and the highs
And all those goodbyes
As hard as it gets I know it's still amazing
To be alive
It's a beautiful life

I talk in my sleep
Thats the one place i know no one can hear me
I tell myself things
Don't walk in the shadows
There's always tomorrow
And I'm right where i wanna be

And this is my beautiful life
only thing's certain is everything changes
The lows and the highs
And all those goodbyes
As hard as it gets I know it's still amazing
To be alive

It hurts while it's happening
I wanna feel everything
How can you know til you try?
And this is my beautiful life

My beautiful life
only thing's certain is everything changes
The lows and the highs
And all those goodbyes
As hard as it gets I know it's still amazing
To be alive
It's a beautiful life [3x]
It's a beautiful lie

A Beautiful Life (La Bella Vita) - Lindsay Lohan

it's an old song from lindsay lohan's album. I'm kinda moody today so I choose this song for now

Painted Skin

2008-10-09T16:54:00.004+07:00

Cast :

Vicki Zhao - as 佩容/Pei Rong
Donnie Yen
Zhou Xun - as 小唯/Xiao Wei
Sun Li
Chen Kun

Genre: Fantasy/Action

Release date: September 28, 2008 (in China)

This time I'll try to review a new chinese movie called 'Painted Skin'. I have just watched it 2 days ago with my cousins. It went surprisingly good for a chinese drama. I thought it was a full action movie with blood and war, and as the story goes on, I shocked a little bit. The main story of 'Painted Skin' is actually more to a love story between humans and demons than merely fighting. It reflects many sweet feelings of what "loyal couple" really do.

On the downside, the special effect and settings for this movie isn't that good. It seems like a low-budget movie with fake make-up everywhere. And the story itself is basicly full of absurdness, since it is a fantasy movie.

I'll give it 3 of 5.

It also has a nice OST named Painted Heart

If you are into chinese romance, maybe you'll like this one.

New Single from Morning Musume

2008-10-09T14:27:00.002+07:00

At last, Morning Musume released their new single in this year..
Pepper Keibu (ペッパー警部, Inspector Pepper) is the 37th single by Morning Musume. It was released on September 24, 2008. It was a cover song of japanese hit duo - Pink Lady.

It was originaly released on August 25, 1976, so this song has a oldies-disco music and old-fashioned feelings. But Morning Musume Version has been reproduced with more modern instruments and beat.

This single hit 3rd in Oricon Chart.

Here's some PV from Youtube:

Hmhh.. so much for fastnet!

2008-10-05T16:15:00.004+07:00

Icem's and Niken's Bday

2008-09-24T21:33:00.009+07:00

Hyahahaha.. at last i post this event to my blog.. surely many people is expecting interesting writing from me right?? okeeyy let's start from Icem's..

On that sunday morning.. Me, Mike,Niken, Risma and.. hmm i forget the other one. hwhw, were taken by Abe's car to Risma's bday in some javanesse restaurant. I also forgot its name. hwhw. It was delicious and considered luxurious and extravagant for us IPB-ers. X(
This is Risma and her parents, who makes 'a perfect mix of javanesse and chinesse' daughter. hyahahaha.. On the table it's our present to Risma, Harvest's Strawberry Cheesecake! hmmmm..

After that, we went to Botani Square (popularly called BoQuare- Boker.red).
We watched apartment 1304, a japanese horror movie, which was sucks. reallyy.. We were kinda dissapointed after the show..
This is the picture from cinema.

Took pic with Risma and Niken. Eventhough they have only one day different in their birthday date, but it's not.. actually they have 366 days different from each other. hwhw. Who is older?? Let's votee.. hahaha..

Took pic from the elevator. from left to right: Mike, Abe, Risma, a blind male goat, and me.

Here's some screenshots of ghost in apartment 1304. hahaha

We took Trans-pakuan back to our campus..

Risma opened her bday present @ campus. And she said to us that she dislikes cheesecakes! weeww.. what a shame.. Abe felt a little depress after hear that. She was the one who pick it afterall. But no matters, all of us except herself love it! hyahahahaha..

eeww.. got tired of writing. Should I stop this post now? hwhw. Okeeyy,, the enjoyment is not stop there yet. On the next day, Niken has her garden party in IPB, located in GWW parking lot.hwhw. Her family came to our campus just for their lovely Niken. haha. Well and again,, we had a luxurious meal too in that party. Her mom cookings were really good!
This is the only pic that i got, because the other pics are blur and dark.

It's a fun 2 days in a row. but on the other side, it also took our living cost for one week to buy them presents :P

Happy 19th and 18th bday mates!

my welcome party :)

2008-09-24T20:52:00.006+07:00

This time I'll post bout welcome party for me and mike. Mrs Subadi invited us the tenants to have a dinner (Buka Puasa Bersama) in her house. Well, this is my second home and my second family in IPB. From left to right : Mike, Adit, Iwan-san, Kak Irvan and Mrs Subadi.

This is my meal. It has a homy taste and I loved it.. Mrs. Subadi made it by her self, the one that I liked is the sauced mashed-potato. She said that she learned it when she was living in New York.

After dinner, we had a chitchat in Mrs Subadi's living room. She told me bout the regulation of her house and some of her past. I really admire her a lot. She went to NY at the age of 30 with her husband and children, with literally no money, to accompany her husband, Vet Subadi for his master degree. She has done various jobs to support her family. She has decent English too.

This is my house-mates from Japan, both of them are having their master degree in Indonesia for forestry. The left one is Onda-san, and the right one is Iwanaga-san, but he told me to call him Iwan-san for more Indoish name XD

This is Anakura-san, known as Ana-san. She's only came to our house for 3-4 days. She's Iwan-san and Onda-san's junior in Japan, she has her thesis in Kalimantan and came to our house for resting before came back to Japan.

my another "home"

2008-09-24T19:54:00.011+07:00

Phew, it has been a long time since I updated this blog. For my first post, I’ll write about my another ‘home’ (Kost- Boarding House red). It’s my private place, atleast there’s no disturbing sounds such as dangdut music or people laughing and screaming next to my room. hehe. It’s located in IPB area called Perumdos (Perumahan Dosen). And I don't care bout other people think about my decision.

Well, here’s some pics:

This is the entrance to my complex. It’s very dark at night. There’s no light at all. So I bring my flashlight occasionally if I back to my boarding-house late.

This is road to my house. It’s calm n quiet. Perfect for my personality which likes some private time alone. But again, it’s dark at night. I took picture of Mike when he was walking in front of me :P

This is the garden. It’s green and relaxing.

This is the stairs to my room. It has couples of flower pots too. My room is located outside of the house. So it’s fit for my privacy need.

This is the chat room right after we walk upstair. We usually chat over here.This room links the door to my room, Mike's room, and Adit's room. It's warm and cozy in the morning, and hell hot in the day. Luckily I have brought my air-fan.

This is Mike’s room. My house-mate in my boarding-house. From left to right: Mike, Chon2, Niken, Martin and Archa. We set our bed on the floor together because Chon2( sleeps in our Kos frequently and I don’t wanna him sleep in my bed together. Neither do Mike. So the best choice is three of us sleep together on the floor. haha. This was taken when Niken brought her laptop to my kos, and Martin and Archa was there to teach me chords for Kemaki Reunion, originally. haha. But at that time we just played card game instead of that.

This is Roxy, known as Chow-chow. I dunno why, but that name fits him soo much. He’s cute and quite a passive dog. He's really different from my dog in my house. Shiro is too vocal as a dog. I hardly hear Chow-chow barks, but he’s a good watch-dog. He can senses people outside the house and bark when there’s a burglar coming. Kak Indra told me that there were times when Chow-chow barked and there was really burglar coming. Do your best to guard my house okay? I'll bring you some dog-snacks after this vacation~

This is Bolang, our landlord, Mrs Subadi picked her in some clinic in Bogor, but I think she’s stress in this new environment, so me, Mike, Kak Indra and Irvan ( my another house-mates, they are working on their Co-assistant for their clinical license) had hard time to settle her off. After 2 days, Mrs Subadi, decided to bring her back to her clinic. Poor bolang, hope that she’s having a better time in her previous home =(

It's a fasting period..

2008-08-31T14:20:00.008+07:00

Started from tommorow, there'll be a Fasting Month for muslims in Indonesia.

I found couples of interesting sign-boards around IPB to promote this pre-fasting period

These are promoting muslims women to use jilbab' ; (Islam) female headgear that exposes fase but not ears, neck, or hair. Quite funny huh? Well, I didn't use to see that kind of board. haha

It's not that I'm a hater or something, but there are some muslims who breaks the rule. For example, I found this book in IPB bookstore near Faculty of Food Technology.
The title is already bashing and flaming other religions.

It is said that Jesus has a family and Christian or Catholic have a deviate (sesat) way of teaching. What the?! And Islam admires Jesus as one of the propher of Nabi Muhammad. So, we must change our religion to Islam.

Oooh my good.. totally illogical. There are no strong facts of that Jesus's family. And believe me, it's completely non-sense.

I wonder why IPB has this low-quality book in their bookstore.

Finally, Happy Fasting for all the muslims and god bless u. hehe.

*aaargh.. I wonder how will I survive this dreadful month, I bet all of the restaurants or warteg are close tommorow. hiks*

Scoop! Couple in IPB!

2008-08-31T13:35:00.003+07:00

There is a big news! I have just took a photo of couple bicycling in Perumdos (Perumahan Dosen) area in IPB!

huahahaha.. hmmmm.. they look familiar.. don't they?? ow some of you haven't notice it? okaayy.. maybe you'll notice it in the next photo..

Whooo.. with this shoot, I think every kemaki people will notice it. haha. *sorry for others, this post is only for IPB intern*

For your information, in IPB there's regulation to not too interact with other sex, such as walk together, date each other, hug, or even take a bike together. huahahaha!

Why is that? because IPB has a deep muslim-ish influence. I think it's kinda "haram" to do that. which I don't understand a little bit.

Culture Night

2008-08-31T12:53:00.004+07:00

Last friday, me and my friends watched the Culture Night which was held by IAAS, International Association of Agricultural Students.

It consisted some slides, videos, and also dance and culture performances of many countries. not too many i guess. haha. There were Uganda, Kamboja, and Malaysia, i dunno the others. But many performances were from Indonesia such as Tari Merak, Tari Saman from Aceh. Tari Saman is very good in my opinion. It takes a lot of practice to master those moves.

My fellow friends from Malaysia also did a performance. It is Sumazau Dance, a traditional dance from Sabah Malaysia.

I filmed it with my phone, here's the clip

Took picture before the performance
From left to right: Michael, Niken, Abe, Nik, Heidy, Risma, Neirol and me

MPKMB Patriot 45

2008-08-31T12:30:00.003+07:00

MPKMB Patriot 45 stands for Masa Perkenalan K(?) Mahasiswa Baru, if i'm not mistaken. haha. For this 45th generation of IPB, the theme is Patriot 45 "Pengenalan Cinta Pertanian dan Orientasi Angkatan 45"

This event was held in 3 full-days. Boring? Yes. Tired? Exhausted? you name it. Yes.

We must make some kind of name-tag ( the stupid n difficult one), use a Caping and also wear our almamater jacket.

The Komdis (Komisi Disiplin) are our senpais (Japanese word for the older one) who plays the role as strict and discipline ones. We were forced to run all over campus.

We got some lectures from Minister of Agriculture, and Minister of Youth and Sports, and also broke the MURI (Museum Rekor Indonesia - Indonesian version of Guiness Record) by "Most participant of eating sweet potato at the same time" . Sounds illogical and useless? I also think like that. The president of IPB said "this event was held to show our responses to Indonesia's Hunger"

On the last day, there was a demonstration event. It was quite fun and we were trained to know how exactly the basic procedure of demonstration itself.

I took some pictures with my Kompi 6 after that event. Finally the OSPEK has ended!!

dorm sweettt dorrmm..

2008-08-31T10:47:00.010+07:00

Okay.. time to update my blog.. this time I'll make a quick review of my not-so-lovely-dorm room.

It's a 3x3 square meter room (i guess) filled with 4 different person. So, it's definitely not a spacy one.

This is my bed. On the top, with yellow sheet and my homy pillow (the dorm only gave a super thin pillow filled by kapuk (java cotton) ) Thankfully, I got a new kapuk bed from dorm manager. It's still new and clean. If you compared to my friend's below, his bed is already old, thin, and geez if you unlucky, has some bedbug in it! >.<

This is my desk, on the right side, right before that damn door. Can you imagine how will you study if everytime someone wants to enter or leave the room, I have to move my chair? Pleaseee..

This is my cupboard. Full of my clothes on the uppest and middle level. On the lowest one, I'll put miscellaneous things over there. haha. Like flashlight, food, plate, and some medicines. Quite small huh?

This is the window, it's still dark because it was 5 AM when i took this picture. I'm a little bit envy to my friends who gets the desk next to the window. T.T

Luckily it has a foggy mountain view. Which is good. Some of my friends get a dirt road view, or even a dirty smelly drain.

back to that dorm again,,

Today I'm going back to that shitty dorm (again)
It's hard to adapt in that new environment which me and my friends used to bully those people.

I also find it difficult to divide my blogs into different types. I have one private blog which there are only few close-friends could open it, and I dont wanna mix it with this new blog. This blog originally would be my kinda official blog, but this blog links with my private blog also. sooo.. it's kinda confusing isnt it?

So, I have an idea, I'll keep this blog from now on for my daily-semi-official blog, I'll change my old blog into the private one (only me can view it) and somehow I'll make a third blog, where I can train and post my thought into formal statements and articles.

It's 9.54 AM and I'll be "home" sooonn.. T . T

Canisius College 08 ~where leaders are made~

2008-08-23T09:41:00.000+07:00

This time the post is featuring my lovely Senior High School, Canisius College 08!
i've a couple of photos of it, so i think i'll post it in my blog.

Canisius College (known as Kolese Kanisius / CC) is a boys-only school, located in Menteng, Central Jakarta. It have been a full 3 years of studying, studying and studying. thx god now that's over.

i have met a lot of new mates and tons of friends. its kinda sad to leave my precious old-fashioned classroom.

we took couples of photos after our graduation.
This is Mrs Indra, my homeroom teacher. She teaches math, she is quite a strict-minded teacher but she also very kind to her students. I respect her a lot.

Took pictures together for the last time

I miss my Class of 12E soo muchh.. but the time has come. Somehow somewhere, we must to say goodbye..

this is my first english post, sorry for my bad english, but i must train it somehow right? jgn ragu2 bwt btulin grammarny y. kirim k fly_windam@hotmail.com

it's have been only less than 2 month since i seperated with my friends, but now i'm suddenly miss them so much. And i have their latest pictures with me in my computer, so i'm thinking to post it in my personal blog. hey, this is personal right? ^^

first, i'll show you a pic from vinsen's goodbye party. it was in Mall Kelapa Gading. We ate @ Pizza Hut in MKG 3, and then we played ASG (Air Soft Gun) in La Piazza. It's my first time! and thankfully Reyhan gave me his jacket so i didnt get any scars or wounds. It's quite expensive and difficult to do. Andrew and Ryan are the best players on our team.
(Pic from left to right:Andrew, Christy, Ryan, Reyhan, Vinsen, Philip Wira, and me)
it's a shame that wiliam and eko didnt participate in this event, i dont hv any last pics of them :(

this is Kevin and Adi 'Magiz' in Dufan's Doll Castle (istana boneka?) hyahahaha. it was so dark and my old mobile-phone couldn't take pics better than this :(
It was a fun vacation trip. There were Ahim, Christian Vali, Jeffry, Louis, Andrew Loman, Ferdi, and many others ( i can't remember all of them) I wish i took my camera with me, because there were almost no photo taken by anyone.

This is me and vinsen on his last farewell in Soekarno-Hatta Airport. Both of us sucks in that picture (haha!) at least not only me who was sucks. :P

Goodbyee papieeh!

These are my junior school friends.
(From left-right: Ilona, Bella, Me, Michelle, Viana, Pritha, Anas, Bontor and Marco)

Bella is studying japanese in jakarta, ilona is preparing for her study to germany (she'll enter Veterinary Medicine too!!), Michelle and Pritha are going to UI, Bontor is leaving to Bandung, and Anas - Marco are going to have their degree at Atmajaya.

well, so many friends, but there are many paths we must go through also.

Into the new world

heii.. welcome to my blog 'winding life' dmana ni judul emang orisinil dr pikiran gw, gw ga yakin ada di kamus bhs inggris, cman ini diinspirasi dr kehidupan gw yg bkl berubah dan dinamis terutama saat gw kuliah di IPB dan saat gw bekerja nanti.

smoga aja ni blog bs jd jejak sejarah gw dan bs berefleksi di kemudian hari.

hmm.. sesuai dengan title "Into the new world" yg gw ambil dr judul lgu So Nyeo Shi Dae(skalian promosiii ^^)

ni ari adl hari pertama gw di IPB. yg adalah "dunia" baru gw bbrp tahun k dpn. "dunia" ini jg adl dunia dmna gw bkl berkecimpung dlm dunia perhewanan XD. setelah registrasi ulang dan dpt kunci kamar, bsk gw bkl dtg lgi ke IPB buat tes kesehatan. dan lusa gw bkl masuk ke asramanya.

first impression, gw agak surprise jg ama penyambutan kakak2 klas, yg ramah bgt dan kyny welcome abis. tmen2nya jg lumayan dan so far gw blm ketemu yg ga enakin ati. mungkin gw bkl ngerasa bis gw ud tgl di asrama dan menjalani kehidupan ipb.

dan gw pasti bkl msuk KEMAKI(kelompok mahasiswa katolik) dan Onigiri ( klub jepang gt y?) yg ud gw liad2 pas open house :)
