Story of my life....

'orton fumble'

2008-07-26T03:57:00.000-07:00

I can't sleep...
I stopped writing blogs long time ago...

But I can't sleep...

It's almost 4AM and I'm still awake... the Big Ten's network is showing a game from back in 2004. Purdue vs Wisconsin...

I tried to steer away from the channel, but it keeps coming back... I was there, I was at that game.. The day Purdue ranked #5, and Orton was a Heisman hopeful..

I still remember how he fumbled the ball, got returned for a touchdown by Wisconsin... And how everything went downhill from then... And by all I mean.. ALL.. No Big Ten championship, no Heisman, losing the next couple of games.. It's like a curse..

But this isn't about the game.. As I was watching the game, I had some sort of a flashback.. EVERYTHING that happened that season kept coming back.. my last semester..

This isn't about the game.. what is it about?

I searched 'orton fumble' at Google.. then switch into the images... this is what I found..

It's still there.. Nobody has forgotten that game... Like I never forgot EVERYTHING that happened that semester....

What am I doing here?

dewi malam...

perasaan saya sekarang...

sempurna....

2008-05-13T00:24:00.000-07:00

my friend back in Indo just gave me this song... and I was blown away....

Kau adalah darahku
Kau adalah jantungku
Kau adalah hidupku
Lengkapi diriku
Oh sayangku, kau begitu
Sempurna...

finally...

2008-05-05T18:33:00.000-07:00

This is the sweetest message I've received in years....

Thanks for all of you that have been supportive to me... especially during this past year... Not many of you know that my battle has been started since Dec 2004, after I received my undergraduate degree.....

Man, if I look back all these years... many ups and downs... wow... a lot of interesting things happening since then... I'm starting to think I might be able to write a book about it... the questions is: is anyone gonna read it? :p

But yes, it was definitely worth it...

a couple of things...

-at walgreens counter-
me: uhm.. excuse me?

lady: yes, can I help you?

me: I was wondering if you know what I'm supposed to do with this kind of injury (I showed her my badly swollen little finger)

lady: (surprised) oh my! that looks really bad.. we might have to have a doctor to see you

me: uhm, I don't think it's broken.. it is actually getting better (tyring to move finger up and down)...

lady: what???? it was worse before????? what were you doing anyway?

me: err... playing flag football...

lady: well since you can move it, it should be alright... just put some ice in it and take some advil if the pain lasts....

me: ???

-at chinese buffet-
sandy: eh temen gue waktu itu pernah makan di resto cina.. tau kan kalo di resto cina tuh.. gak ada deh yg namanya celebrate ulang tahun segala macem.. nah temen gue bule ini iseng...

1. menurut gw, orangnya pati gw kenal, soalnya lo ga bilang misalnya, "udah deh, lo ga kenal juga koq ***."

2. orangnya pastinya lo uda kenal dan lo sering ngobrol.

3. gw ga tau nih apakah first love lo perlu dimasukin apa ga (omg gw!!) soalnya kan at least gw tau ada, jadi lo ga ngomong yg no.1 di atas

4. tapi...kyanya gimana yah, kmgknannya kecil aja gt untuk nomor 3

5. jadi, end up nya, conclusion gw yah tetep si C

hm hm

6. ga mungkin donk lo nulis tanpa sbnrnya ada orangnya..

7. masa sih ekstrim bgt klo kangen ama ade lo?

8. ga mungkin donk gw, because I said so

9. gw mendapati bbrp waktu kalian itu berdua (bukan dalam arti apa, tapi dlm arti ngobrol) => banyak ketemu dan banyak ngobrol membuat jd suka.....

WTF

2008-04-14T22:47:00.001-07:00

I've had enough..

Clearly, there's something wrong here... When I got this job here, I thought I was finally be able to say - 'Well, I guess everything's alright now' Maybe, I would be able to enjoy my life for a while.. Maybe, just maybe, I won't have to live under uncertainties anymore... at least not for a couple of years...

Well it only lasts two months..

It seems that EVERYBODY would have to gamble to work here from now on.. I don't understand.. Would companies still have the eagerness to hire foreign workers? Introducing the 29 months OPT extension would surely make some people happy... at least for now... but what's gonna happen next year? A lot of my friends are relieved that they got the 17 months extension and they were sorry for me as my OPT already expired. Sorry for me? Why? I could still stay in school and have the same timeline as you!!! I will be $10k poorer, sure.. but money's not an object now..

My question is: If you don't get it this year, what makes you think you're gonna get it next year?

Probability is just plain bullshit.. Probability only matters if you get picked.. this thing only happen once a year.. so you either get it.. or you don't! Would people that don't get pick will still be glad that we have more chance to get in than the bachelors? Same thing as 50-50 chance in my opinion..

I thought I was gonna use my H1 for a couple of years... maybe ask the company to sponsor me a Green Card.. and after several years of service in my company, my salary would surely be enough to get a mortgage for a decent house/apt.. you know, get settled... all of the good stuff..

But somehow this whole mess has changed my mind.. do I really want to do that? I was reading this thing that my sister gave me... it says

"the moment that you feel comfortable is the moment that you're dead" (or something like that.. the website is down at the moment... so I couldn't quote it perfectly)

When I read that sentence for the first time, I thought it was going the other way... but honestly, do you really want to have the same job years after years (by 'same' I didn't meant with the same company, but same as in wake up in the morning, have a 30 mins to 1 hour commute, 8-5 jobs, go home, watch tv, sleep, repeat kind of thing) have a life partner, get married, have kids, get a house, have a vacation every now and then.. year after year..

Bored yet?

Wedding really scares me.. It really does.. (so much for getting a girlfriend at this point eh? ^^) I'm also not looking forward for my wife to suffer for nine months pregnancy, then suffer through the birth process.. really, it really scares me... There's a lot of abandoned kids in this world, why couldn't we just adopt them? I mean, what's the difference.. really? anyway, what a way to scare up women huh...? ^^

Yes, I got all of these just because of all of this mess regarding H1 visas.. My friend kept updating me about the process... I wrote him back "I don't really give a damn about this anymore man... I'll start to worry when I don't get in.."

As for now I'm gonna get back doing what I'm really good at these past couple of months..

...Waiting...

akhirnya...

2008-03-25T23:04:00.000-07:00

kalo masih ada yang inget... taon lalu gue ada post ttg nyari lagu dibawah ini....

sampe gue post di youtube... lagunya dari ending song 'gue kapok jatuh cinta' dan gak tau kenapa gue penasaran banget cari2 mp3 nya....

gue udah tanya temen bae gue di indo buat ngubrak ngabrik satu jakarta buat cari ni lagu... (btw dia yg di indo aja nggak pernah denger ttg film nya!! apalagi lagunya) sampe2 pas dia ke pontianak aja di sempet2 in ke toko2 cd demi lagu ini hehehe.. kan lagu lama gitu, sapa tau di daerah2 masih ada...

you know what... ternyata ini sama sekali bukan lagu lama... tapi emang gak terlalu di exposed aja... dan akhirnya gue tau dan dapet mp3 nya!!! this is a song by ron ji - hanya kamu.

cerita dapet nya jg mayan konyol.. ceritanya kmaren minggu ini gue dapet ratusan (literally ratusan!!!) lagu2 indo hasil dia pulang indo kemarin.... yang baru2 semua gitu ceritanya... mimpi basah dah hahaha... apalagi lagu2 nya tersusun rapi by album.. ada album covernya segala dan berhubung gue pake ipod touch jd bisa keliatan de... trus ya udha kan besok nya lgsg gue upload ke itouch....

karena gak tau mo dengerin yg mana duluan.. gue pasang di playlist 'recently added' trus di 'shuffle' mode... trus ternyata salah satu lagunya itu ya lagu ini!!!!!!!! langsung buru2 gue email temen gue di indo buat memberhentikan pencarian... hauhau.. dia sendiri sampe penasarn yg mana en minta dikirimin... (pas lg ceting)

trus ya udah.. entah kenapa gue jadi happy seharian.... pencarian setahun berakhir sudah... aneh ya? simple things like this...

ever wonder why?

-btw yang mau lagu2 nya tolong kirimkan amplop kosong berlampir prangko gituh? heuheuhe.. gak deng.. bilang aja ntar gue kasih list lagu2 nya... gue males tulis skarang..

atas sikapmu

2008-03-05T19:24:00.000-08:00

waktu itu gue janji buat gak ngeluh lagi di blog... gue janji buat pake blog ini buat taro foto2 aja.. (which was actually a success for a couple of posts)

God, I can't think right now...

jangan salah... I'm actually very satisfied with my condition right now... cman aja ada beberapa 'glitches' yg gak bisa ilang dari pikiran..

can't stop thinking about her... whenever I accidently look at her pictures my heart stops beating... literally... (it goes back on again... obviously...) wondering what my next step is..

waktu itu gue sempet mimpi aneh2... salah satunya gue mimpiin Caca... weits, jgn mikir macem2 dulu.. gini ceritanya: gak tau kenapa tiba2 si Caca telpon gue... nanya kalo cari hotdog di Chicago dimana... lah gue jawab gak tau.. suruh tanya Hans aja.. tapi dia gak mau... jd yg gue tanyain.. Hans gue juga tanyain bilang gak tau..... terus ya udah.... abis itu bangun.... trus iseng2 telpon anaknya... katanya lg mau buru2 mau mandi... mau ke sekolah...

Ca: halo?
(blaa.. blaa.. basa basi...)
Gue: eh Ca masak kmaren aku mimpi kamu...
Ca: ha? mimpi apaan Jeng?
Gue: iya ceritanya kamu lg cari hotdog di chicago... terus.. (critanya baca di atas)
Ca: eheheheh (ktawa gak jelas) jadi itu maksudnya apaan ya?
Gue: gak tau.. kamu lg ngidam makan hotdog ya?
Ca: yee.. gak kok enak aja...
Gue: hmm.. jadi apa dong artinya...
Ca: tandanya aku demen makan kali ya...
Gue: ???
Ca: eh ya udah ya aku mau mandi dulu...
Gue: mmm.. ya udah... (bobo lagi)

the other day... I dreamt about my Ex.. I'm not gonna write the story here, since even thinking about it makes me feel weird... but for some reason I woke up in the morning feeling very relieved... and it was nice that I was finally be able to get close to her again.. even though just in the dream...

yesterday my co-worker told a dream she had the previous night... long story short, she dreamt that the sun is going closer and closer to earth and everybody's screaming for help.... running wherever they can....

dan sekarang gue masi di kantor... abis kelarin ntn lecture and bikin PR...

ada satu temen gue yg mgkn bakal dateng ke sini dari jakarta sekitar 4th of July... one of my friends is getting married and she's planning to be the maid of honor... there's one more guy from our circle of friends and another girl I haven't met might also come too.. this should be interesting since the wedding is on the 6th, and 4th of July is Friday... this way I don't have to take a day off to get a long weekend :) I haven't seen them in ages.. and the best part is that I could ask them to supply me with some lagu indo... :) udah ga bisa download lagi dari Multiply... :( July can't come soon enough.....

btw... I learned a very valuable lesson during these past couple of months.... I will try to restrict my relationship with women... why? because I'm so bloody sick and tired to be considered 'girlfriend'.. you know? when women think you're good, but not THAT good... when they think you're a good friend, just not good enough as a boyfriend... and when they're already in a zone comfortable enough to ask for your opinions about other guys??? what the FUCK was that all about? why the hell do I even care about other guys? Are you kidding me? How could I be so dumb these years to fall into these traps????

damn...

baby Boilers!!!

2008-02-14T19:20:00.000-08:00

you know what.. this is my 100th post... and with all due respect to all of my readers from Wisconsin (i.e. Adeline & Elka :p), I present to you:

I'm just gonna briefly say this.. the past couple of weeks have been horrible for me.. I've been in a life-threatening scenario that keeps haunting my mind (no, it's not a horror story.. think!), I've been broken hearted... and I've been scrambling around moving from places to places... My stressed level has come to a point that makes me shaking my feet all the time in the office, and sometimes my hand keeps shaking for no reason... nothing that makes me happy....

or is there something?

Before the beginning of last season, who would've guessed that Illinois would beat Ohio St football? Who would've thought that they went to Rose Bowl (only to be obliterated by USC.. but still...)

Before the beginning of this season, who would've guessed that Purdue would beat Wisconsin (home & away) and Michigan St (home) back to back? Who would've think that Purdue would swept 4 Big Ten teams and the season is not yet finished? With freshmen and sophomores?? After just winning a total of 7 games two seasons ago?

I have to tell you... after all those that happening to me in the past couple of weeks... IT FEELS GOOD!
DAMN IT FEELS GOOD! Purdue might not have win anymore games for the rest of the season and I won't care...

Just watching the student section stormed the court after a win against Wisconsin...
And the fact that the student section didn't storm the court after a win against Michigan St (just because they already expect the team to win in the first place..)
And the fact that supporters gather around Purdue Airport to wait for the team to come home after a win against Wisconsin.... with the band entertaining the crowd..
And the fact that students start camping 1 week ahead of the Mich St game for tickets.. (and were told to go home because the weather's gonna be punishing)

....is somehow extremely satisfying.....

Can you guess who won?

2007-11-18T19:14:00.000-08:00

Ever saw that ESPN ad that shows a guy wearing Ohio St t-shirt and a girl wearing Michigan t-shirt kissing on the couch, and the caption says: "If it wasn't for sports, this wouldn't be disgusting" ?

Well, that's the first thing that came into my mind looking at this picture :)

And no, she's not my GF, nor that I'm interested in her, so don't start any gossip ok? :P

College football season is over....
-sigh-

tiga hal..

2007-11-05T19:04:00.001-08:00

...yg blom bisa gue give up..kalo harus pulang indo....

1. football (ada masalah? :p)
mau bilang apa lagi? baru disini gue bisa support team yg ada attachment nya... bukan seperti support Man U, Arsenal, Real Madrid dll dll... disini ada Purdue football... sama Indy Colts.. gue bakal keilangan semuanya... gak bisa maen flag football.. gak bisa ntn (replays doesn't count) keilangan suasana stadium jg... akhir2 ini gue lg demen baca buku2 football jg.... seperti 'Friday Night Lights', 'The Blind Side', sama 'Quiet Strengh by Tony Dungy'.. all good books... so sports play a big part of my life... playing football is like going to a battle... part of the fun comes from the preparation... (bersambung di bawah ya..)

2. nyetir
gak males apa kemana mana macet... pengendara nya jg gak tau aturan semua..... gak punya otak... udah macet bukan nya benrenti malah maju kedepan.... sama kenceng2 an klakson (bantu ya?) polisi nya BANGSAT semua.... gue lebih rela bayar Rp. 175,500 ke pengadilan daripada nyogok polisi Rp. 50,000. pengalaman pribadi...gue pernah ktangkep polisi gara2 3 in 1... trus gue ngotot2 an... kena Rp. 20,000 doang... pas gue cerita ke bokap ato temen2 gue... pada kaget.. soalnya biasa 3 in 1 mahal... bisa sampe Rp. 100,000.... waktu itu gue nantang polisinya.... 'udah, sini saya ambil tiket nya aja... bayar ke pengadilan' terus dia minta gue bayar di tempat.... gmana??? jelas2 di tiket nya dibilang bayar ke pengadilan... akhir dengan malu2 bangsat mau jg dia terima Rp. 20,000.. bagus ya pak polisi... selamet deh... seumur hidup ntar gitu2 aja ya pak???

3. internet
yah.. ini juga.. tapi mayan sih.. kmaren ini temen gue bilang dari Rp. 100,000 an udah bisa dapet unlimited bandwidth.. gak ngerti deh speed nya brapa cepet.... gue taro ini di no 3, soalnya sepertinya udah mule membaik.. dulu kan dibatesin... plg sebulan 1 giga... gile... dikit yaa...

(sambungan)
di flag football team gue... beberapa cw bule... ada satu cw, namanya Angelica.. dia lulusan ASU... and the interesting part is that... she can actually play!!! dia bisa ngelempar spiral... ngerti taktik (jadi quarterback beberapa kali) and she can actually catch long pass!! mayan manis jg lagi.. hehe.. gak cuakep buanget gitu... tapi enak diliat.. hehe.... bisa diajak ntn football jg.. soalnya abis itu kita ke bar rame2 buat ntn Colts - Patriots... and she was actually rooting for the Pats... bukan gara2 suka.. tapi gara2 Colts ngalahin Bears di superbowl kmarin... (she's a Chicago native) one conv...

Nick: 'So Angelica, do you support the Patriots because Brady's cute?'
Angelica: 'No, I support them because Colts beat us last year'
Chris: 'I'm actually surprised that you think Tom Brady's cute, Nick'
Nick: -senyum2 mesem.. balik ntn lagi-

uehuhe...

ada satu lg yg buat gue kagum... kan kita ngobrol2 gt sebelon game.... ati2 kalo narik flag nya.. jgn sampe ketarik celana nya.... terus satu orang bilang dgn nada becanda 'Relax guys, It's not like something we haven't seen before... we're all adults here' terus temen gue Nick bilang: 'Not me, I'm Mormon...' terus si Angelica bilang: 'I haven't either...' hmm... pretty unusual for Americans huh? considering she's pretty cute...

apa lagi...

kmren ini gue ke LA buat beresin barang2 gue.... akhirnya bisa nyetir mobil gue lagi setelah selama ini.... I can't believe how I missed my car... langsung gue tarik di highway sama dengerin stereo gue... gue seneng sama audio mobil gue.. soalnya meskipun gak di modif apa2 (cman pasang cd changer standard aja) suaranya bening bgt... temen gue yg hobi ngutak2 stereo mobil aja ngakuin... gue blom pernah ketemu suara mobil laen yg sebening mobil gue... ada sih... cman dia ganti speaker yg muahalll.... gak diitung dong.. :s

pas nyetir balik dari Carmax.... gue mikir 'I can't believe it.. this might be the last time I'm driving my car....' yak sodara2... saya planning buat ngejual mobil itu.... blom ketemu pembeli.. moga2 sih bisa dalam waktu dekat...

my future?
still uncertain... i don't feel like talking about it at the moment...

on the brighter side... gue dapet kamera gua balik!!! so expect some photos on my upcoming posts...

surat formal pake bhs indo?

2007-10-21T19:27:00.000-07:00

gue baru sadar kalo gue gak bisa nulis surat formal pake bhs. indo....
gile, nulis nya jaoh lebih lama dibandingin pake bhs. inggris

!@#$%^&*6*&^%$#@!@#$%^&*

oh...
buat yg blm tau.. gue gak di offer kerjaan yg skarang ini... pendek cerita.. company nya lg coba buat save money... jd semua pengeluaran di cut dulu.... sampe akhir taon mereka bilang, tapi gak tau buat taon depan....

considering my opt expires on jan 31st taon depan.... can't say that's a good odd...
soo...

PERHATIAN PERHATIAN!!! KALO ADA YG TAU LAGI NYARI LULUSAN MASTER INDUSTRIAL ENGINEER PINTAR RAJIN PEKERJA KERAS BER MOTIVASI TINGGI SABAR BAIK HATI TAAT PADA ORANG TUA... eh.... YA POKONYA TOLONG HUB. SAYA!!!!

sedikit cerita

2007-09-16T17:36:00.000-07:00

pengen cerita sedikit nih. eh, bukan cerita sih, apa yah? gue tulis dulu deh ya, nanti bisa di interpretasi sendiri.

ceritanya begini: tadi kan baru ngobrol2 ditelpon gitu.. sama salah satu temen gue yang jenis kelamin nya masih dipertanyakan.. (hehe enggak deng.. moga2 dia gak baca =p), trus dia bilang:

temen gue: 'kenapa elu gak sama si $ aja, kan dia masih single tuh?'
gue: 'ehm.. enggak ah, kok gak kepengen yah.. gak tertarik'
temen gue: 'yeh elo.. gmana kalo sama rumet gue ajah... dia jg masih single tuh...'
gue: 'males....'
temen gue: 'yeh elo.. gmana coba.. ya udah sana... milih2 bgt deh ya..'
gue: 'yeee.... abis....??'

huehee.. masa gak boleh gitu milih2? daripada gue ngasal doang gt... tapi kayanya pilihan disini terbatas banget yah... si kari bilang.. 'udah.. pulang indo aja, disini perbandingan co:ce itu 1:3, jadi lo pasti dapet deh... banyak yg cantik2 pula... tinggal pilih deh... apalagi lo ada degree dari amrik.. master lagi.. pasti banyak yg kepincut' buset... kok ada2 yg ganjil yah kayanya.. heuheuhee... (bukannya gue nolak lohhhh!!!!!! ^^)

tapi beneran deh... apa sih yg pertama kali lo liat kalo lagi ngedeketin (ato dideketin?) seseorang? serius deh.. jujur yah?? kalo buat gue.. terus terang.. gue bakal liat gmana penampilan dia... asal gak ngasal2 banget... dan gak terlalu berlebihan.. harusnya udah cukup... terus gue bakal liat gmana cara dia ngomong.. cara dia jalan.... cara dia makan... cara dia buka baju...(??????) hueheuhee... gak dengggggg..... :p maksudnya yah penampilan2 dasar nya gmana lah gitu.. terus coba diajak ngomong dikit2.. kira2 ada respons gak... kalo gak ada respons.. nah itu kan ada dua macem...

1. dianya ngelengos aja... ato jawab nya sepotong2 gitu..
'kamu udah makan blom?'
'blom'
'ehm.. kamu capek yah?'
'gak kok'
'kamu udah pernah disambit sendal?'
'HAH' <--- masih pendek aja jawab nya.. kalo udah begini berarti gak ada keliatan tertarik2 nya sama sekali.... tentu saja ini tanda2 tidak baik... kalo udah gini ya mau gimana..? jangan dipaksa.. yah teman2 yang namanya manusia itu tidak suka dipaksa....

2. orang nya emang tipe2 yg pemalu... jadinya gak ngerti mesti respons apa... kalo udah gini ya mesti pinter2 kali yah.. tapi terus terang buat gue kalo gini udah mines banget... biasanya sih ya udah didiemin aja... kalo2 emang nantinya berubah ya bagus.. kalo nggak ya udah.... sapa tau dia tipe yg emang diem2 aja kalo pertama kali baru ketemu.. jaim2 gitu... tapi bawel setengah mampus kalo udah lama kenal... heuheuhe.. pasti banyak yg mikir deh.... 'apa sih lo, masi jomblo aja, kok sok tau bener?!?!?!?!?!? kalo ttg masalah ini... gue salahin salah satu temen gue ber-inisial 'E' karena waktu itu pernah nyumpahin gue biar SERET JODOH!!!!!! gilee... gak kurang kejam tuh? huhuhuhuh..... hmm.. moga2 dia becanda aja deh yah... soalnya kalo gak, well... then I'm in big big trouble, I suppose.... heiheiheiheiheie.... ---> ktawa stress..

btw ada yg tau iklan nya ipod yg baru itu... sapa sih yg nyanyi?? kok lucu yah suaranya....

egh.. gue jd keinget obrolan gue sama si renny... udah lama bgt sih.. tapi tiap kali kepikiran.. pengen ketawa terus bawaan nya.... cerita nya gini.. gue lg telponan sama dia.... trus..

renny: 'duh.. hp gue mana yah.. mesti setel alarm neh....'
gue : 'uhmm...'
renny: 'iya neh.. duh mana.... bentar yah jeng... gawat nih besok bisa gak bangun...'
gue : 'eh ren.. ini lo telpon gue pake apa yah..?'

-hening sejenak-

renny: 'OH IYAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'
gue : '??????????'

hauhauhauha..... dah basi yah? maap deh... lagi kepikiran aja.... :p
slamat malam semua... have a good monday!!

apa yah...

2007-09-09T18:23:00.000-07:00

halo halo... apa kabar semua?
dah lama bgt yah gak nulis apa2.. sampe lupa gitu loh login nya gmana.. hehe.. kmaren barusan baca lagi bukunya kambingjantan.. terus jd kepikiran buat nulis lg.. ada banyak kejadian menarik akhir2 ini... dari yg lucu sampe yg sedih..

kerjaan oh kerjaan ???
cman sekarang ini jd kepikiran... kalo kayanya gue gak ada option laen selaen tinggal disini... weits.. hehe... iya nih, opt gue abis akhir januari.. maksud gue tuh.. meskipun gitu, gue gak bakal consider alternative laen.. kmaren sempet mikir2 buat ke spore kan.. tapi trus dipikir2 lagi kok males.. males suasana asia.. trus udah mayan banyak kayanya anak2 purdue yg disana.. ntar ketemu dia lagi.. dia lagi.. males dong.. mana orang2 spore banyak yg kiasu lagi...

option kedua.. ke aussie.. ini yg kmaren bener2 sempet gue consider banget.. tapi setelah dpikir2 lagi.. orang2 down under sana tuh banyak yg rasis... kayanya mereka gak se open minded orang2 di sini... gak percaya? gue pernah ampir brantem sama orang bule di nz gara2 masalah ini... terus tanya ada dd gue ttg pengalaman dia..

indo? haha... hmm.. gak deh yg ini... yg pasti sih gak sekarang... blom punya apa2.. dan yg pasti gue bakal bergantung sama bonyok lagi kalo pulang indo..

gak ah.. gue udah putusin kalo gue bakal stay disini.. no matter what... doain yah guys..

loh kok jd depressing ya isinya haha.. apa gara2 ari ini hectic bgt yah... panik nih.. kmaren baru balik dari grand prairie, tx.. trus besok udah mesti cabut... ke salinas, ca.. flight nya jem 6 pagi gitu yah.. bayangin aja..

purdue has changed.. the people too..
jadi gak mood balik purdue lagi.. kmaren terakhir balik bener2 pengalaman yg tidak terlalu menyenangkan... intinya: buang2 duit buat bensin sajah... mgkn ntar gue balik kalo ada tiket football aja kali.. tapi itu ya paling dateng.. nonton.. trus balik lagi... pengen suasana baru nih.. kebanyakan gaul sama orang indo terus ga berkembang jadinya... jd inget asik tuh kmaren di dallas...

sekarang jd lebih tertarik buat road trip muter2 in stadium... nih udah janjian sama ni anak dari madison buat ntn di camp randall..., gue sih ayok2 aja... terus ada temen gue di michigan mungkin bakal jual tiket purdue - michigan... big house!!!!! huhuhu... udah lama pengen ngerasain...

football
sekarang ampir tiap minggu maen flag/touch nih.. sama sapa? bukan sama orang2 indo tentunya.... intinya jadi gue cari2 di craigslist bagian 'activities' terus ya udah gue email2 in aja tuh orang.... pas awal2 nyari dapet liga yg radaan serius.. setengah flag setengah tackle... minggu kedua maen dagu gue robek... satu senti setengah ada kali tuh... seharian darah gue ngocor.. orang2 bilang suruh gue jait, tapi berhubung gue gak ada insurance.. didiemin aja deh... 2-3 ari ditempel tensoplas... sembuh tuh.. ada kaya scar gitu seh, tapi gak terlalu peduli.. tapi berhubung mesti commit tiap minggu, dan gue ada kemungkinan buat travel2, jadinya gue gak ikutan... mesti bayar pula..

pas nyari2 lagi... ketemu ada temen nya temen ternyata suka maen di monroe... jadinya ikutan deh.. yg ini baru asik hehe... mereka maen 2 minggu sekali.. jadinya mayan lah.. sayang nya penggemar bears semua... pas gue bilang 'bears sucks'.. pada diem semua.. jd ackward gitu.. hahahaha... oh well...

yg satu lagi ketemu bule semua.. ada kaya 6-7 orangan gitu... mayan lah seru lari2 an gitu.. yg lucu pas ketemu gue mereka tanya: 'do you speak mandarin or schezuan?' kan gue bengong... terus baru dia ngeh... 'oh that's right... schzuan is some kind of a food' hauhauhauhauhauha... dasar bugil (bule gila) ya gue jawab ' i don't speak both, and szhcuan is actually a name of a province' hihihihihihi... (bener gak si? kalo salah dimaapin yee..)

ya udah... maap maap kalo radan gak bermutu post nya ^^

Hey There Delilah....

lagu favorit gue saat ini... pengen maenin lagunya.... tapi gak ada gitarnya... which is making it even harder..... :(

-intermezzo-

2007-06-10T23:21:00.000-07:00

makasih ya semua.. yang udah ninggalin comments buat post gue dibawah ini.. gue gak kenapa2 kok.. berita2 yang kalian baca di comments2 nya ada yg bener.. ada yg ngawur jg.. hehe.. di kira2 aja ya?

banyak kejadian2 menarik yg terjadi dalam hidup gue akhir2 ini... banyak belajar tentang pribadi2 manusia..

sebenernya banyak bgt yg bisa gue ceritain.. tapi gak tau kenapa gue skarang jadi gak terlalu comfortable buat share beberapa hal yg biasa nya gue comfortable buat cerita (di post2 yg dulu)

jd alesan kmaren gue berenti nulis ya sebenernya itu.. karena gue udah gak bisa terlalu comfortable buat nulis... people changed right? itu jg yg gue rasakan akhir2 ini... perubahan..

berubah seperti apa jg sebenernya gak jelas... yg pasti gue ngerasa ada sesuatu yg beda dari diri gue.. entah dalam hal positif ato negatif..

btw video yg diatas... enggak kenapa2 sih.. gak nyangka aja masih bisa nemuin video jaman jebot gitu di youtube... fyi, ini lagu pertama yg gue belajarin pas belajar maen gitar... gue jg inget pas ambil nilai musik kelas 3 smp, gue nyanyi ini pake gitar di depan kelas... dan dapet delapan... the only delapan i ever got for music during my smp years.. hehe... :P

it would be nice to get someone to play this song for my wedding, no? (much much much later in life...)

thanks for reading guys..

dan...selamanya

2007-05-13T03:23:00.000-07:00

blog ini hiatus dulu ya..
jangan tanya kapan diupdate lagi.. jangan tanya kenapa...
silahkan dilihat sekali2.. siapa tau masa2 hiatus nya sudah selesai (itu jg kalo masih perduli)

sampai jumpa..

is this it?

2007-05-05T15:34:00.000-07:00

USCIS has received enough H-1B petitions requesting exemptions from the fiscal year 2008 H-1B cap for "foreign workers who have earned a master's degree or higher" to meet the congressionally mandated exemption limit of 20,000. USCIS has determined that the "final receipt date" for these exempt petitions is April 30, 2007.

I officially don't know what I should do from now on... any help, advice is appreciated...

kau buat aku gila
kau buat aku merasa hina
kau buat aku bosan
kau buat aku merasa muak

melihatmu
mendengarmu
dan semua tingkah lakumu kepadaku

kau buat aku benci
kau juga hapus semua napsuku
kau buat aku *****
kau buat hidup terasa mati

melihatmu
mendengarmu
dan semua tingkah lakumu kepadamu

dan pergi
tinggalkan aku
jauhi diriku

pergi tinggalkan aku
jauhi diriku

tak dapat menahan sikapmu
kau buatku jadi smakin gila

pergi tinggalkan aku
jauhi diriku

pergi tinggalkan aku
jauhi diriku

alhasil ya udah cekakak cekikik sendiri deh heuhehe... mayan lah buat ngehibur masa2 stress gini...

trus yah.. ada satu bagian yg gak cman lucu.. tapi jg buat gue tersentuh... coba liat clip dbawah ini...

gmana? tersentuh gak... gue banyak ngeluh disini.. apalagi akhir2 ini.. gak dapet kerja lah.. gak dapet h1 lah.. dan lain2... tapi di indonesia masih ada anak2 seperti desi.. yg keinginan nya cman nerusin sekolah...

bagus bgt yah suaranya? keliatan gt si krisdayanti nya kynya sedikit tersentuh pas desi nyanyiin 'menghitung hari'

hmm...
apa ini sindiran? ato peringatan? uhm.. biar jadi pikiran masing2 sajah...

2007-03-25T14:45:00.000-07:00

akhir2 ini jadi sering blogwalking... bukan sembarang blog tapi.. soalnya ada misi tertentu,,

dmana sih? yep.. myspace tentunya.. kmaren ini kebetulan dapet satu website asik banget.. banyak nge host lagu2 indo yg gak terlalu mainstream... trus gmana tau bagus apa nggak nya dong? donlod aja semuaaaa.. hehe..

terus ini ada satu band yg menarik bgt... d'cinnamons.. pas pertama kali denger.. yg kebayang cman pas ngafe di indo.. terus ada band yg maen di latar belakang.. pernah ngerasain gak? yg biasanya kita dateng.. tapi gak terlalu ngeh sama band nya (sapa ni? gak pernah kedengeran..) tapi gitu band nya maen.... loh kok enak jg yah... gitu lah perasaan nya...

dannn... setelah cari2 info di wiki ternyata mereka emang asalnya band cafe.. hehe.. suaranya sedikit mirip sama dolores nya cranberries.. tapi gak se khas dia... instrument nya yg bener2 gue demen... acoustic!!! huhuhu... langsung jatuh cinta...

jadi kepengen balik indo lagi...

lagu yg gue demen judulnya 'tak takut!' tapi i youtube gak ada... adanya yg diatas doang...

jadii... untuk sementara buddha's delight nya dilupakan dulu :P

~ Beri Cinta Waktu ~

2007-03-21T21:28:00.000-07:00

lagi suka banget nih sama lagunya Maliq yg baru..
gak tau lagu hitsnya apa.. jdnya asal dengerin aja.. dan kebetulan ini yg stuck di kepala... jadinya gue puter2 terus :)

dengar bisikku kumerindu
kini kau jauh menangis hatiku
masih adakah ruang hatimu
untukku kembali...

beri cinta waktu...
untuk meyakini.. mu..

jadi pengen maen gitar.. hehe.. tapi lg gak ada..
oh iye.. ini gak ada hubungan nya sama post2 gue sebelum nya ok? ~vodka jgn gossip!! huhuh... (dah gak kok ya?? ^^)

2007-03-17T01:07:00.000-07:00

udah lama gak post ya...

sampe banyak yg nagih.. haha.. bukan nya gmana2... tapi kan ini blog harusnya buat foto2.. tapi berhubung beberapa bulan kebelakang ini fokus gue gak bisa jaoh2 dari kerjaan.. jadinya blon sempet pegang kamera lagi...

tapi entah kenapa hari ini gue ngerasa tenang sekali.. padahal pagi hari udah dimulai dengan acara telat bangun segala.. gak enak deh ma evo.. padahal dia pagi banget ke kantor.. (buat yg blom tau.. gue skarang kerja temp di tempat pacarnya stacy.. sebagai data entry sajah)

tapi terus siang2 gitu ada orang telp.. mo ph interview hari senen.. ya lumayan lah... sore2 orang dari job agency jg ada sedikit kabar baik... moga2 minggu depan bisa terjadi sesuatu... terus pas udah mo pulang diajak ngobrol sama bos... intinya gue lg diusahaain buat dapet permanent position di company nya...

terussss... si evo ngasih gue 2 tiket ntn Lakers vs Portland.. haha.. setelah nanya ryan alfons dan wk.. semua sibuk dengan pekerjaan ato pacar... jadilah saya pergi sama salah satu anak basket nya mudika... si evo ngepick random gitu... telpon2 in aja sapa yg bisa.. heuheuhe... ya udah deh.. terus jdnya gak jd pulang.. tapi langsung cabut ke staples di downtown LA..

seru bgt gamenya.. sampe overtime segala... bener2 puas.. apalagi abis itu denger kalo Purdue lolos 1st round NCAA tourney.... (meskipun 2nd round langsung ketemu Florida... bubar sudah... :s)

jadi intinya.. hari ini baru pertama kalinya ngerasain perasaan tenang sejak sampe di LA tepat 2 minggu lalu... gak pengen bobo dulu.. masi pengen ber santai2 en ngeplan buat besok2...

masi blon kesampean ke beach ni.. pengen moto sunset... masih banyak waktu lah ya..

terus terang aja... sampe skarang masih blon bisa 100% yakin kalo ini bener2 keputusan yg tepat (buat pindah ke LA) tapi... gue udah blajar untuk berserah... gue udah cukup bersyukur dikasih temen2 yg selalu ngedukung gue... sampe skarnag blon 1 pun gue denger komentar negatif ttg keputusan gue ini... thanks guys.. you know who you are...

weekend.. dinikmati dulu ah.. nanti minggu baru pusing2 lagi... waktu terus berjalan.. tick tock tick tock...

lagi kangen juga sama seseorang... tapi sekali lg gue tekankan... nggak kok... bukan dia... percaya deh... bukan banget... tapi jgn mule gossip jg.. karena boleh percaya kalo itu bukan gebetan gue... hehe.. kalo misalkan sampe di masa depan terbukti emang gbtan gue... ntar gue makan sendal jepit gue :p gak tau tapi.... kangen ajah..... huhuhu... gi ngapain yah dia....

oh iya... ~vodka punya blog baru... blog barunya dia bener2 keren sekarang... so do drop by and tell her that I sent you :p

klik di -sini- buat link nya....

apa lagi?
oh iya.. gue baru tau kalo si Elka sama temen nya (Manda? kita blom kenalan ya? met kenal deh ya heuheuhe) demen maen Elite Beat Agents jg.... gue waktu itu mo bikin post buat justify kenapa Elite Beat Agents deserve buat jadi game of the year... tapi gak yakin kalo ada yg peduli ^^ gue suka banget sama game ini.. kenapa? soalnya pas lo lg suntuk ato stress... tinggal nyalain Nintendo DS nya.. maen satu ato dua lagu.... -poof- hilang sudah ke stress/suntuk an nya.. lagu fave gue september - earth wind and fire (A) sama ymca - village people (S) =p level bintang satu udah tamat... level bintang dua udah unlock level alien nya.. tapi blom sempet dimaenin... hehe...

selasa depan mo maen basket sama orang2 kantor... wah.. akhirnya setelah ber minggu2 bisa gerak badan jg....

ya sudah ah.. segini dulu.. nanti kalo ada yg menarik saya sambung lagi :)

take care everyone...

huh...

gini salah.. gitu salah.. jadi mestinya gimana sih..
beberapa hari kedepan bakal bener2 jadi suatu cobaan yg berat..

mohon dukungan nya.. teman2...

2007-02-14T23:56:00.000-08:00

Tadinya mo gue post tanggal 14, tapi gara suatu hal, baru bisa dipasang skarang. Kenapa?

-sigh-

Gak tau juga..

Valentine is not one of my favorite holidays.. jadi jgn offended ya kalo gak gue selametin..

Tadinya jg mo gue masukin vokal gue.. but DAMN, I SOUND BAD! hehe.. jadi ya udah.. gitarnya aja.. (NOT saying that I'm a pro at Guitar.. but yeah.. this is the best that I can do... ^^)

This is one of my favorite song of all time.. yes.. that is how much I love this song! Pengen tau kenapa? dengerin aja lirik nya.. Rumet gue udah bosen kali denger ni lagu gue puter2 terus... uhm.. Gitu deh..

Terserah deh kalo ada yg mau bilang gue lagi jatuh cinta.. mungkin ya?? mungkin tidak?? It doesn't even matter..

Jadi... ya sudah.. Sekarang udah tanggal 15..

Oh ya.. buat yg tertarik.. gue bisa kasih raw filenya... jadi kalo ada yg mau nyanyi2 gituh pake iringin lagunya... bisa diatur... =)

Colts vs Bears - The Battle of I-65!

2007-01-28T00:42:00.000-08:00

Let the battle begin. I just realized that this game is not just another Superbowl. Indianapolis and Chicago is only separated by about three hours drive, so fans from both sides of the team are mixed in both states.

I have been waiting for Indianapolis Colts to go into the Superbowl since I've been supporting them. And now they have to face Chicago Bears to win it all!!!

This is big. Really really big.

Wow.

I really don't want Feb 4th to come very soon, because all the excitement would be over, and there would be no football until September. I'm loving this. Everywhere I go it's either Colts or Bears. They even talk about that in church! St Thomas won't be having the 9PM masses next week due to the game.

So please Colts. Don't disappoint us. Beat Bears, and bring pride to Indianapolis! That would be a sweet present to me, since who knows where I'm gonna live in the next couple of weeks.

Hehe. Doesn't make a lot of sense does it?

The excitement has finally catched to me. Oh yes it has. It's gonna be intense this upcoming Sunday. Maybe now I can dream for Purdue to go into the National Championship?

Or not. Whatever.

GO COLTS!

This is really hilarious.... ^^

2007-01-22T21:28:00.000-08:00

Hehe..
Masuk ke account gue aja kalo mo liat2 video yg lain ^^

So the Colts managed their way to the SuperBowl....

2007-01-21T22:04:00.000-08:00

.... tapi kok rasanya biasa aja ya

Biasanya pasti gue excited berat... bahkan tadi gak ntn game nya sampe abis.. gara2 ke gereja sih.. tapi biasanya pasti gue bela2 in ke gereja sabtu sore ato minggu pagi biar bisa ntn...

terus ngeliatin nick name msn orang2... yg biasanya gak peduli sama football aja sampe pada excited gituh.. tapi.. kok gue biasa aja ya?

jujur sih.. gue seneng... tapi kok terasa ganjil aja... harusnya gue jaoh lebih seneng dari ini.. grr what is happening to me? I mean.. it's the Colts... our own Indianapolis Colts! kapan lagi coba... jarang2 Colts bisa menang playoff games... apalagi ke superbowl..

apalagi tadi.. pas gue tinggal ke gereja, Colts ngejer dari ketinggalan 21-3 jadi akhrinya menang 38-34! it's the biggest comeback ever in playoff history! But I again, I FEEL NOTHING! biasanya pasti gue bakal nyesel berat gara2 gak ntn sampe abis....

and don't give me those you-watched-too-much-football-already crap... it's NEVER enough!
no.. it's something else.....

Hatiku... beku?
maaf... keluhan di malam yg sepi...

kacau...

It is...

2007-01-07T00:01:00.000-08:00

...sometime past three am, and I can't sleep. Well, it's not that I can't sleep. I just don't feel like sleeping. So I'll just list some random stuff that occurred to my mind...

1. it is very hard to love someone unconditionally. It is almost impossible to say 'well, as long as he/she's happy, I'm fine. I don't need anything in return' Really. It's virtually impossible. For me, at least. And for those of you that think this is about 'her', believe me, it's not.

2. there must this special hormone working when you get up in the morning. I often experience this 'special' feeling whenever I wake up in the morning. I sometimes wake up in the morning feeling so sad, that there are tears running down my face (with unknown reason). Or maybe you can just wake up smiling and feel dumb because you don't know why. The first more than the latter.

3. Uncertainties result in pain. There are so many options to choose, yet you always unsure that you follow the best one.

4. I finally found my 'weaknesses' to tell interviewers.
- Impatient: I hate waiting. Period.
- Over Analyzing: Taking down problems day by day just doesn't cut it for me.
- Impulsive: I wouldn't brag too much of this too my interviewers though. Let's just keep this between us :)

5. Some people are just afraid to say 'no' (for variety of reasons). I've learned so much this past few months that some people are actually afraid to get out of their comfort zone, to hurt other people's feeling because their inability to say no. As always, my over analyzing habit didn't make it any easier as well.

6. It is actually very hard to know what exactly going through your mind. So many expectations, considerations, analysis that pretty much shield the true intention of your mind. When this happen, you can just go back and forth what you're thinking, just to discover that the result is just virtually impossible to comprehend. Confused? So am I.

7. Ah. The lucky number 7. Well guess what, my lucky number is 21, which is 3 x 7. What does it mean? Nothing, because I don't really believe in luck. 21 is actually my favorite number because of some certain reasons. People tell me that getting a job is all about luck. Bunch of nonsense. Randomness in the universe is what causing employment to be correlated with luck. Let's face it, the world isn't linear. There are no equations in the world that can describe EXACTLY the true activities of nature. People use equations not because they exist, but to provide an explanation to CERTAIN activity. Why is -ve x -ve = +ve? Because it works. So for those people that believe getting a job is all about luck, I feel really sorry for you.

8. It seems that aside from people getting married at 7/7/07, a lot more will get married at 8/8/08. The number 8 character (ba? pa?) is the same as the character for 'wealth' (feel free to correct). So? what are you waiting for? Start planning for your wedding! Actually, for all those of who haven't thought about getting married (yet), you have time until 12/12/12. Why? I don't really think many people will find the date 13/13/13 on their calendar.

9. My bed really kills me. It is by far the most inconvenient bed I've ever sleep on. Maybe that's one of the reason I don't feel like sleeping even though I'm sleepy.

10. For some reason it's just very hard for me to have a close friend on a long term basis. I don't know why, but it sure like a good idea to restrict my relationship with my friends. On the risk of being called sad, it's just very hard for me to fully share my thoughts with someone. It's been a while since I can really open up to a person. Time change... People change... and some thoughts just won't go away... I guess..

I think it's getting to personal, so I'll stop here.

A glimpse of the new year..

The table has shifted. Nintendo wiis are virtually impossible to found across the country. PS3s are everywhere, as nobody want them anymore. Scalpers try to return their purchase after eBay prices dropped below retail. This conclude that people buy wii to play it, but they buy ps3 only to sell it. Those people who bought $3000 ps3 after launch must feel like an idiot now. The battle continues and personally I'm very excited. Will Nintendo win the market share this gen? Will Blue Ray become the next Betamax (the reason that Betamax fail to succeed was because they don't allow porn industries to produce in their format... yeah right) Will Microsoft succeed in Japan? Will people grow tired of the new playing scheme introduced by Nintendo after some years? months? Will ps3 ever live up to their hype? Will 360's 1 year head start make a difference in the long run?

Stay tuned.

Ian Johnson just proposed to his girlfriend (fiancee?) last night. Got that? Now that I have your attention, non-football fans, I'll tell you how last night's game was more than just a game. Boise St was 12-0 for the season, so by logic they should play in the national championship against the only other unbeaten team in the country (Ohio St, also 12-0).

But they didn't. Since they came from a WAC, a 'weak' conference, they had to settle their business in the Fiesta Bowl against the Oklahoma Sooners (which aren't very good in my opinion). The Broncos (Boise St's nickname) led early until midway of 3rd quarter. Then to sum it up, they blew their lead and Oklahoma managed to catch on to force the game into overtime. Oklahoma even lead by 7 points with 1:08 minutes left in the game, but The Broncos refused to give up. Their last play,hook and ladder trick play finally tied the game and forces it into overtime.

Bored? Hang on on with me. During the overtime, it seems that they want to settle the game once and for all. Rather than kicking the extra point for 1, they elected to go for 2 which will win the game. Of course, they would lose the game if they failed. This is bar none the most exciting moment so far this season. They ran the statue of liberty play, which the QB faked a pass to the receivers, and handed the ball over to the running back.

THEY WON THE GAME BY 1 POINT!

One of the commentators said 'It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog' That strucked me real deep. The Boise St might still lose if the play Ohio St, but they sure knows how to provide a high quality entertainment. Kudos to you Broncos nation!

Now this is the interesting part. Running back Ian Johnson proposed to his girlfriend, the head cheerleader for the Broncos, after the game during his interview on national television! And she said yes! Wisconsin beat Arkansas with an impressive performance, Penn St upset the ranked Tennessee, USC beat Michigan in the Rose Bowl, but the highlight of the new year belong to the underdog Boise St Broncos!

Clippers vs Celtics - VIP!

2006-12-30T00:26:00.000-08:00

Watched the Clippers - Celtics game Wednesday night. Met with Besty and the others on Tuesday night, and Evo, her boyfriend gave me two tickets for the game. So I went with WK ^^

Look closely at our seats. VIP, row 1! ^^ Of course it was not the closest, since those sidelines seats should cost hundreds of even thousands, but it's still pretty close to the court. We even got a VIP parking pass, so none of those time wasted looking for parking space. So much better than the Pacers game a couple years back when I had to sit at the balcony. Blech. Those seats were nothing compared to these.

I'm beginning to love LA already ^^

bit of a story

2006-12-20T11:43:00.000-08:00

Some of you might be wondering why I'm writing this entry.

Yes. I'm supposed to be skiing/snowboarding at this time. But the fact is, my knee hurt real bad yesterday and that prevents me to go ski. I tried to force it for some hours, but it got real bad, so I decided not to go today.

Oh well. There's always next time.

Am I upset? Not really. Wanna know the reason?

#1
My Wii got sold for $500 on eBay! ^^

For those of you who haven't followed the video game industry, Wii have become harder to find even more than PS3, although they shipped 4x amount PS3 does. Sometimes, you can still find PS3 on retail shelves, but almost zero chance for Wii. So, there was this rumour that Nintendo would have Wii in-stock on 12/17. Experience says that these babies would sell fast.

So yes, I waited in line for 6 hours on Sunday morning and was #3 in line for the last shipment of the year. This also had a very good story, but would be too long to tell here. Maybe when I got back.

#2
Barely walk back to the lodge yesterday after my knee hurt so bad. After returning my equipment I decided to watch some TV in the living room. I got a missed call from Ryder saying that they have a couple of positions available. So I called them back today and talk to the manager. The phone interview didn't go as well as I planned, but we'll see what happened. Getting the phone call itself already made me feel better despite the fact that I couldn't go ski.

The position is in Lafayette. You know where the Subaru factory is? Yep, Ryder is doing some consulting work for them. Cross your fingers guys. A position with Ryder would mean working in a factory environment and involves talking with clients. These are the kind of jobs I really want.

#3 I just beat the 1:28 odd of the Amazon lottery for a chance to buy a Wii! Amazon decided that it would be fair to put their Wii (and PS3) shipment on lottery so that everyone would have equal chance to get one. They required valid credit card saved to prevent multiple entries. So I bought one at the price of $259.98 + $9 shipped. NO TAX! (6% in Indiana: ~$14) The item should arrive on Friday. Still haven't decided what to do with this one. 20% of my heart says to keep it, 30% to sell it at retail price to someone I know (who I know won't sell it again), 50% says another eBay madness. (Fel anda masih mau tidak? Dipikir pikir dulu ya..)

That's about it for know. It's 3 PM and the rest should be done in an hour. I'm gonna grab some food and visit them at the park.

Later. Hope all are well.

I just skipped my last two classes yesterday.
My last classes of the semester.
My last classes of the last six years.

My last classes.. forever?

heuhe..

sekitar dua minggu lagi gue bakal punya hak untung bilang..
'Exam? apa tuh exam?'
'Project? apa tuh project?'
'(some type of school work)? apa tuh (some type of school work)?'

Apologies for those who still go to school.
^^

Selamat datang kehidupan, kita ketemu lagi.

So special..

2006-12-05T12:08:00.000-08:00

'special in my eyes
since you’re in my life
always on my mind
so special in my eyes'

Lagi di penghujung film 'Gue Kapok Jatuh Cinta' nih. Gue baru aja nonton untuk kedua kalinya =) Temen2 yang laen, yang ntn bareng gue bilang ini film biasa aja, kalo bukan jelek.

I beg to differ and here's why.

Diliat dari judul nya emang kerasa nggak original dan pasaran banget (and it might be true to some extent) Tapi, kenapa gue ngerasa kalo skarang ini kita justru perlu film jenis begini?

Coba inget2 beberapa film indo terakhir yg kalian ntn. Udah? Coba, skarang apa yg terbayang? Gue tebak ya. Adegan tangis2 an. Adegan jerit2 an. Setan. Hantu. Tuyul. Tragedi. Adegan dugem dengan lagu2 gak jelas. Akting yg terlalu dibuat2 (belaan pembuat filem: 'menjiwai')

Dari kesan yg gue dapet abis ntn filem ini, cman adegan dugem aja yg keinget. Ada sedikit adegan tangis2 an, tapi itu cman di flashback doang. Pendek sekali.

Dilihat dari cerita, ini biasa banget. Tapi justru karena itu gue bisa relate semua kejadian ke kehidupan gue sendiri. Gue bisa bilang 'gila, ini bisa banget terjadi di kejadian gua' Dialog nya biasa banget, dialog yg biasa kita alamin sehari hari. Orang2 yg kebiasa ntn film 'kelas tinggi' dengan dialog2 ber bobot bakal kecewa berat. Orang2 yg nggak biasa dengan omongan2 jorok dan kotor jg bakal tersinggung. Tapi justru ini yg bisa ngebikin gue terkesan banget. Kenapa? Karena emang ya sehari hari kejadian seperti ini yg bakal kita temuin.

Gue akuin, ada beberapa dialog yg kerasa dipaksa banget dalam konteks penggunaan bahasa inggris. Sepertinya emang nggak terlalu banyak orang Indonesia yg fluent ngomong bahasa inggris. Bukan masalah besar jg. Hey, gak ada salah nya orang buat ngecoba kan?

Dari segi pencahayaan dan pengambilan gambar gue bener2 terkesan. Ada beberapa adegan yg gue bilang udah advanced banget kalo dalam standar film indo. Adegan pas salah satu tokoh nya ngebayangin pemakaman dia di masa depan, terus adegan bayangan salah satu pemeran cw nya jalan2 pake baju pengantin, sambil pegang batu bata (I admit this is pretty unreal.. but hey, anything can happen in Jakarta right? After all it is our beloved 'Sin City' ^_^)

Soundtrack lagu2 nya jg bagus. ~vodka pasti nggak setuju sama pendapat gue yg satu ini =p (and it's okay!) salah satu lagunya, 'so special' - Oka feat. Sabria jadi salah satu lagu favorit gue akhir2 ini. Lagu pas adegan terakhir, dimana semua pemeran nya dansa di lantai ballroom kelapa gading sports club (GADING! WOOHOO!! -kampung mode on-) jg bagus banget.

Overall, emosi kita nggak terlalu diuji di film ini. Terus terang aja gue radaan capek denger tangisan2 meraung dari beberapa film indo yg gue tonton sebelon ini. Alur film masih tergolong lambat, tapi film indo mana sih yg nggak? Sembari gue ntn, ngerasa ada beberapa adegan yg bisa di trim sedikit dan gak akan mengganggu alur filem dan msg yg mau disampein sama adegan itu. But hey, what do I know right? It's not like that I have any choreography background or anything.

Kalo diliat2 juga, nggak ada pemeran2 nya yg bener2 special. Special dalam arti cakep ato cantik banget. Dilihat2 dari daftar pemeran, jg nggak keliatan nama2 besar yg biasa kelihatan.

Aneh ya? Mungkin sebenernya emang nggak mustahin buat ngebikin film bagus tanpa nama2 besar. Si Renny bilang salah satu produser nya lulusan anak SMUK 1. Sebelon nya gue jg pernah liat karya independen dari cahyadalamglap production, masih dari anak SMUK 1. Kayanya banyak yah lulusan SMUK 1 yg berbakat bikin film? =)

Jadi kesimpulan terakhir, alesan gue suka film ini sebenernya cukup simpel. Film ini gak maksa gue terlibat di konflik emosional yg dalem, tapi dari 'kedataran' nya itu justru bisa menimbulkan sesuatu yang nggak membosankan.

Sekian.

'ku seduh kasih sehalus sutera'

woohoo!

It's almost 5 in the morning, but I finally finished the challenge. This is the result:

~9% ROI. Not too bad. I bet I could do better given more time. I'm kinda pessimistic that it'd get me into top 3, but hey, at least I tried right? At least the factory's making some money.

Phew.

I just emailed the report along with my peer eval with a note saying that I might not be coming to class today =p

This is one of the days that I can feel good about myself. To tell the truth, I almost gave up a couple of hours ago due to the factory losing money consistently. After 1 hour of ESPN and 2 box of Lovshack, somehow it all worked out.

I need sleep. Badly.

are we there yet?

2006-12-03T15:40:00.000-08:00

My head feels like exploding. I've been dealing with this problem since I woke up, and the answers are still nowhere to be found.

'How do you create the best efficiency?' is the question.

This is not a mandatory project. Students were given the option to submit the assignment, with bonuses awaiting if your system makes it to the top three.

I glanced over to the TV screen at the back of my head. Damn. Colts lost to the Tennessee Titans by last second field goal. So much for that.

I sighed. This is going nowhere. I decided to get some coffee, when I saw a half-filled Marlboro lights sitting on top of my cubical. 'What the hell', I thought. I took a piece and headed outside. The weather outside was just horrible. Freezing would be an understatement. I lighted my cigarette and took a couple of puffs. Much better. Some of you might be surprised by this fact, since I rarely smoke in the past.

Don't get me wrong. I didn't start smoking to look 'cool' or whatsoever. Actually, I've been playing hide-and seek with everybody, not wanting anyone to know about the fact. It's fine though. It's not like I'm creating some kind of dependencies with nicotine or anything. Just a little bit something to keep me sane.

As I finished my last puff, I started warming up my car. Damn it's cold. Seriously, sometimes I have to questioned how can people live under this kind of weather and have not gone crazy. Geez.

'One Peppermint Mocha, please' I said to the lady behind the counter. I started to look around the store. Everything was red and green. Christmas is coming. Ever thought that Christmas has lost is meaning recently? Look at all the commercials running on TV. eBay, jewelries, cars. All I can think about Christmas nowadays is angry moms pulling the last doll for her daughter in a packed department store, and confused fathers trying to get everything on his christmas list running around local malls. Have you watched Garmin's commercial on TV recently? If you had, you'll know exactly what I mean.

'One venti Peppermint Mocha, no whipped cream'. That's my order. I hate whipped cream. Not because it's fatty or anything, but it just spoils the taste of the coffee.

I took a sip from my cup. Blah. What the hell is this? I should've ordered my usual white mocha. I went back home anyway. One thing to learn from the trip: wear something other than shorts and sandals when the weather is this cold. Noted.

I got back to my room. The Giants are playing Cowboys. I continued my reading, while occasionally sipping on my coffee. Whoa, it's almost dark. How time flies when you have lots of things to do.

I hear the intro to 'Diatas Normal' playing on the background of my desktop.

"pikiranku tak dapat kumengerti
kaki di kepala, kepala dikaki
pikiranku, patutnya menyadari
siapa yg harus dan tak harus kucari
tetapi tak dapat.. ku mengerti"

I then remembered my previous encounter with one of my friend on MSN. Nothing important, just daily chit chats that frequently happened between us. She was telling me some stories about her boyfriend. Then I asked,

'You must love him so much, huh?'

She didn't respond immediately. But after a couple of minutes an orange flashing lights my conversation bar. I opened it.

'Of course, why shouldn't I?'

She replied.

'Haha, nvm. It was a stupid question anyway'

I added.

Then we talk some other things. But something never left my mind. It has been awhile hasn't it?' I never even thought about it. It feels like part of my heart are turning into stone.

Hatiku beku.

School. Work. Football. Those are really the only three things that have occupied my life in the past of few months. the 'L' word is nowhere to be found.

I reached for another cigarettes, but then I put it back. "My roommates' are gonna kill me if they found out I'm smoking inside the house." So I took some of my school notes from my bag, and start reading. Again.

Damn. I have to do this evaluation thing by tomorrow. I hope my teammates go easy on me, since this would be a huge part for the final grade.

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.

Gibot just called. He was wondering if I want to watch Sunday Night Football at this place. I told him no way I can spare that much time tonight. I'll go tomorrow night instead for MNF.

What to do now? Hm. Cowboys just kicked a field goal with :01 second left. Two games decided by a field goal today. Whoop-de-do.

I browsed through my list of music in iTunes. Finally settled on 'Damai Mimpi', my mind started to wander elsewhere.

"ingin bersamamu menari
bernyanyi lagu damai mimpi
tersenyum nuranimu
harum nafasmu, mewangi,
hiasi mimpimu.."

I have neglected my guitar for quite a while. It must be out of tune. I remind myself to spare some time playing with it tonight.

I'm graduating exactly two weeks from now. How time flies. With no jobs on the line, I can't exactly say that I'm looking forward to it. I talked about many people, with different opinions regarding this graduation thing.

While I appreciate each and every one of their opinions, I can only agreed to a few. I finally decided that only I can control my own destiny. Meaning that I will make the decision solely based on my fully informed understandings.

'Totally don't know what it means, but I want it'

Why? Why? Haha. I just remembered this HDTV commercial starring Jessica Simpson. Ever wondered if she's really good at acting dumb, or she is just... well.. dumb?

A thought of skipping dinner occured to my mind. Don't really feel like eating with so much work to do. Hm. That might not be such a good idea.

lambaikan tanganmu from side do side
karena semua will be alright

then.. emmh... can't really comprehend what they're singing. 'Sunday Morning' from Soulid is now playing.

I suddenly remembered this 'project' I started with one of my friend from the beginning of the semester. I haven't touched it for a couple of months. Maybe I should look over it tonight when everything's wrapped up. I'm not gonna tell you guys (yes, four of you who have been reading this blog =p) what it is for now, but I promised that some of you might even want to get involved with this project ^^

As for now, I gotta get back to my reading.

Bye now.

Di suatu malam, di Extended Stay American hotel - West Madison...

tiba-tiba terdengar suara..

If you want to be a Badger,
Just come along with me,
By the bright shining light,
By the light of the moon;
If you want to be a Badger,
Just come along with me,
By the bright shining light of the moon.
.....

belum kelar sang pelantun lagu menyanyi.. tiba2 terlihat beberapa orang saling berlirikan... dan tiba2 terdengar..

Hail, Hail To Old Purdue!
All Hail To Our Old Gold And Black!
Hail, Hail To Old Purdue!
Our Friendship May She Never Lack.
Ever Grateful, Ever True,
Thus We Raise Our Song Anew; (Fire Up!)
Of The Days We've Spent With You,
All Hail Our Own Purdue!

Meredam suara sang pelantun 'If You Want to be a Badger' yg hanya bisa terdiam bengong tak berdaya...

heuheuehuhe.... ^^

failure to finish

2006-11-26T08:56:00.000-08:00

"Yakin nih gak mo ikut ke Purdue?"
"Nggak bisa, hari rabu gue ada exam"

- Jadi kalo nggak ada exam mau ikut? :p -

"The Boilermaker defense allowed 15 points and sophomore quarterback Curtis Painter threw two interceptions in the final six minutes, giving No. 25 Hawaii a 42-35 come-from-behind victory." -TheExponent-

Another failed comeback courtesy of our own Boilermakers :( Inability to finish close games really haunts this team. At least Painter's still a sophomore, giving him the 'still room for improvement' excuse.

Don't feel like writing much.
Overall, the demon from last year's thanksgiving wasn't fully exorcised, but I had a wonderful thanksgiving experience.

Started from the turkey dinner (with games courtesy of AAG), the Madison trip, late night card games, and USC beating Notre Dame.

Great. But not perfect.
Oh that's right.

Purdue 35 - Hawaii 42

Close, but to cigars.

"Sometimes it's good to invest your soul to something that you can't control"

It's not necessarily true, but it might be worth it in the case of Purdue football. You'll get an emotional joyride of your life. Need to be prepared for the broken heart though.

Better luck next year.... IU!

2006-11-18T23:45:00.000-08:00

The bucket stays at Purdue!!! This game might not meant much for both of us, right? After all, both teams were unranked, and they play mediocre, if not terrible, football this year.

WRONG!

IU was 5-5 entering the game, and they needed to win to secure a Bowl bid. For those who unfamiliar with the term Bowl bid, that means post-season game. They have the rights to be selected (not guaranteed though) into one of the Bowl later at the end of year (or beginning of new year) with some prize money on the line. IU hasn't been to a Bowl game for God knows how long, and they're hoping to go this year.

Nice try, Loosiers!!!!!

The game was exciting in some way. Both teams committed turnovers a lot in the first half, it almost like a joke! Oh man, you just gotta be there.. it was a funfest.. the student sections were just having fun mocking IU and laughed their asses of as the result of some plays..

I screamed my heart out and almost lose my voice at the end of the game. The game wasn't pretty.. but it's football right? It's not supposed to be pretty.. there are no awards for 'style points' The most important fact is that we won the game, no matter how ugly it was..

Haha.. senior day, and my last game here for a while. I just can't help but thinking: 'Man, I'm so gonna miss this place.. the sight is just so beautiful' I have never felt closer to the student section before. I actually had some conversations with other students who're not my friends. We had a fun time mocking IU (BALL STATE'S BETTER!!! chant) and our own Curtis Painter (4 INT? WTF?) It was just a blast. A perfect ending to a not-so-perfect season.

But it's all worth it.
We denied IU's eligibility to a bowl game, and the bucket stays at Purdue, and we're goin bowlin this year!

GO BOILERS! IU SUCK!

^^

Would you pay $24,000+ for PS3?

2006-11-17T07:02:00.000-08:00

wow.. just wow..
and the auction's not not even done..
i'll post the winning auction later in the afternoon..

/update
the ending bid was for $89,000,000.00
It came from a legitimate buyer with positive feedbacks..

The listing is not available anymore.. so I don't have any proof.. eBay or the original poster might have took it down... my assumption is that the bid was illegitimate...

it still sells for a lot tho... $5,000 - $10,000 a piece...

random topics...

2006-11-13T13:28:00.000-08:00

lagi pengen nulis neh... haha... iseng2 aja dah lama nggak.... and I'll probably switch from english to indo in no specific manner.. tergantung apa yg kepikiran di otak aja... hehe...

topik 1:
I'm still pissed that ESPN decided not to show the Purdue - Hawaii game @ the 25th.. It's not like that we can attend the game without spending $600 for airfare and another $600 for accommodations. (gue research loh haha...) How cool is it to spend thanksgiving break at Hawaii? Imagine all your friends stuck at home doing projects, stuck in a blizzard and decided to go to Best Buy/ Circuit City early in the morning just to find out that they run out of everything.

Unfortunately, I might be one of those guys stuck in the blizzard this year. Still contemplating if I should join the mob at Best Buy/ Circuit City (Madison / West Laf? =p) Most probably I'm just gonna stay at home though. Man, I need a GPS badly, but I'll probably just gonna buy it at retail price. I'm officially DONE with black fridays.

topik 2
PS3 is finally released at Japan. check out DailyTech.com to witness the craziness. Some guidance though:
1. Buy PS3 if you really like advance technological stuff. I really believe that it's gonna worth your time. I'm gonna buy it for Final Fantasy XIII :)
2. Buy Nintendo Wii if you're looking for a chick-magnet stuff. Remember GameCube with Mario Kart, Mario Party and Mario Tennis? Nuff' said.
3. I personally hate Xbox, so Xbox 360 never came into my mind. Microsoft's rich already. Besides, it focuses mostly on American games (Xbox is american) which is first person shooting games and free-roam games like GTA. Not my type...

I'll probably wait until the price of PS3 GREATLY reduced before buying. Gak turun2? ya gak beli....

You might want to consider Wii too... it's not ordinary console. Males ngejelasin.. liat disini aja ya.. The most interesting is that you might be able to do some physical exercise while playing this game.. Tertarik?

topik 3:
I'm in graduate school and I'm playing with LEGOs. How cool is that? Kelas gue yg Manufacturing Control and Manufacturing Planning kerjaan nya ya gitu. Ceritanya kita simulate factory. LEGO blocks nya itu materials. terus kita mesti buat suatu barang (which is lego blocks stacked) terus di test (ngetes nya pake 12 sided dice). The process includes assembling, processing (oven boongan gt... di timer) testing and scrapping (kalo dadu nya keluar 12, kita buang) 92% service level... not that good.. hehe..

Seru banget tapi... serunya soalnya mesti mikir berat gimana caranya nyiapin material sebelon mule production. The thing is, you can't just order unlimited amount of materials, since we got charged for unused inventory. Tapi kalo order nya terlalu sedikit, we wouldn't be able to satisfy demand, and we 'lose' money in this manner as well. tricky tricky..

Awal2 sih decide nya pake rumus... tapi terakhir2 kita malah decide intuitively hehe... gue jd inget pas intern di CST/Berger. gue sempet ngobrol2 sama production manager nya (which is a Krannert MBA graduate btw) terus gue dijelasin gmana cara mereka ngatur production. Basically they just tried a method that looks logical, and adjust the methods as the factory runs. Surprisingly, this method has worked pretty well.... (hey, they're still in business... that's pretty good right?)

topik 4
ini ada hubungan nya sama topik ke 3. kmaren di ada yg tanya ke gue -uhuk- jessica -uhuk- "elu kalo cari kerjaan ke perusahaan IE ato EE?" pas gue jawab: IE dia tanya lagi "loh.. company2 apa mau... kan elu IE nya cman master doang.. kenapa mereka nggak ngambil yg bachelor nya IE, terus master nya IE jg..." gue jawab: what's done is done.. haha.. nggak deng... jawaban gue adalah..... dalam 1.5 taon gue master di IE tuh gue udah belajar jaoh lebih banyak hal yg berguna dari 4 taon gue sekolah di EE. bukan nya gue jelek2 in EE, tapi emang fungsi dari kelas2 IE tuh bener2 applicable banget di real world. DASAR2 dari kelas2 ini lah yg diajarin di bachelor IE....

jd apa hubungan nya sama topik ke-3? ya udah keliatan kali ya... apa yg gue belajarin di kelas maenan LEGO itu bener2 dipake di CST/Berger, tempat company gue intern waktu itu........ emang sih.. kelas2 yg gue ambil itu kelas MBA semua... ada yg mirip di kelas2 IE.. tapi gue males ambil soalnya terlalu technical.. basically sama tapi tujuan nya...

Ini yg ngebuat yakin banget... misal nanti company gue bersedia sponsorin gue buat MBA, ato at least gue udah punya dana buat bayar sendiri... gue ambil tu gelar..

topik 5:
back to Purdue football... I just found out that Andy (Andy Tjo, bukan AndyJess) is gonna be back at Indy sometimes next year. I'm gonna ask him to buy us tickets for the Purdue - Notre Dame game next year!!!! =p huhu...

I'm so glad that we beat Illinois last week... ahh man.. we needed that so bad.. I hate Illinois.. I hate Chicago Bears.. I hate them for the same reason I hate IU and Notre Dame football...

Illinois doesn't deserve to have a football team. They even lost to I-AA team, and they're winless in Big Ten for god knows how long... they should've just disbanded the team for good...

Bears... senga2 banget orang nya... If you lose against the lowly Dolphins, and barely survived against Cardinals, you have no right to brag about ANYTHING!!! beat Colts and let's talk football....

topik... keberapa ya?
Wisconsin Badgers: being good at the wrong time. (~vodka jangan ge-er!!!!) It's a shame that BCS won't allow three teams from the same division in the BCS bowls. At this rate, Michigan and Ohio St wil represent the Big Ten in the BCS bowls, and Wisconsin have to settle for Capital One bowl (which is still pretty good). If it turns out that there are going to be a rematch of Ohio st vs Michigan in the National Championship, then the Badgers are definitely going to Rose Bowl, Pasadena!!! LA baby!!! gue ntn ah kalo Badgers beneran maen disana.. heuheuhe...... =p

I really believe that Wisconsin deserves to share the 3rd spot with USC. Yes, they're that good... even their backup QB is good.... :s Have you seen the size of P.J. Hill? masi freshman aja gede banget... gmana ntar senior.. huhuhu.....

Btw, the Purdue Wisconsin rivalry would have to be postponed until 2009. We don't meet again until then. Lucky Wisconsin.... hahaa canda deh linn... gile udah kalah masihh aja bisa nge-boast... =p

topik selanjutnya
bentar lagi lulus... couple interviews... couple of rejections... still no offers... apa gue cabut ke LA aja ya? gmana kawan2? ada saran?

kalo jawabnnya iya... mendingan gue cabut langsung kesana ato liat2 dulu cari tempat tinggal? terus mendingan gue naek pesawat apa setir? hauhauhauha... pusing nih gue... gmana ya... :s

udah dulu kali ye... kayanya mayan panjang jg gue nulis... behh.... gila2 an... dingin banget sih ya skarang...

ya dah saya mo ngapa2 in dulu..
stay warm guys..

nasi kuning + ayam panggang ^^

2006-11-03T18:52:00.000-08:00

speaking of being realistic...

hehe..
akhirnya kesampean jg buat nasi kuning sama ayam panggang... enak loh!! ^^

another broken season

2006-11-03T11:41:00.000-08:00

Almost everyone will agree to this. Supporting a losing team is so much harder than a winning team. Especially when the team has big expectations riding on their back in the beginning of the season.

I think it's fairly safe to say that Purdue Boilermakers' football team is almost over. True, we might still be able to finish the season with a winning record and go to some medicre bowl at the end of the year. But, after last week 12-0 loss against Penn St, upcoming victories might not have much meaning. It was just horrible. I'm not going to post any pictures this week since, let's face it, there are NO worthy photos worth of display. I looked over the photos taken during the game, and it was just dreadful. Not the quality of the pictures, mind you, but you can almost feel the pain and agony that's facing this young football team.

As I walk through the gate after the game ends, I heard some students said that it was the worst game ever happening at the Ross Ade stadium. I couldn't agree more. 3 points in the last two matches? Guys, this is not soccer!!

The story is always the same.

2004: Purdue went to 5-0 then dropped the next 4 games. Some of my friends decided not to attend the next game, which is Ohio St (we won that game though, and it was quote nice since Ohio St was pretty good that year)

2005: Just plain horrible. Purdue finished 5-6. First losing season in 8 years (need to double check on this). Again, some chose not to attend, giving opportunities for some other people to go.

2006: Three of my friends decided not to show up for the Penn St game. Totally understandable. I mean, who can stand a losing team right? Especially after the beating by Wisconsin. I however, decided to go.

Then it occurs to my mind. Supporting a team is just the same as experiencing life. There's ups and downs. Some seasons have more ups than downs, and vice versa. Some people will experience it more at some period, and some people will not. Some people will experience glory at least once, some people will never during their entire lifespan.

And again, however you want your team to win, there's only so little you can do to help them. Same as in life, you just have to try to do the best you can, and let god do the rest.

I can go on and on about this matter, but I'm expecting a call from a company in approx. 8 minutes, so I'm just going to say one last thing.

Either it is supporting your favorite team, or in life,

.... don't be pessimistic, but be REALISTIC.

Have a good weekend.

there we go...

2006-10-22T20:03:00.000-07:00

defending the rock

despair

believing

disbelief

cheer

well..
that was that...
it was a really painful afternoon... one that I hope wouldn't experience again ever.

not that we lost, mind you.
but because we almost got beaten by ourself. the badgers almost literally ran all over us, and we helped them by committing suicide.

trust me. it's that bad.
congrats to the Badgers. I dedicate this thread to one of my friend (and greatest rival) who's a Badgers fan: ~vodka

Purdue Boilermakers 3 - Wisconsin Badgers 24

:)

until we meet again next year...

p.s. janji capres nya kali ini terpenuhi ya? =p

this is it..

2006-10-19T14:48:00.000-07:00

the time has come...

yes.. it's Purdue VS Wisconsin!! hehe.. if it wasn't for the 2004 season this game might not be that important. just another annual meeting with one of the upper-end teams of the big ten conference.

just a quick recap:
it was homecoming at Purdue. we were ranked 5th, badgers were ranked 10th nationally. college gameday went to Purdue for the first time ever. all we needed was a win to sealed the perfect moment, a moment that should bump Purdue into the elite groups of NCAA football.

then it came... with about 3 minutes to go Orton ran play that somewhat looked like a naked bootleg to the right.. one of Wisconsin's linebackers tackled him, forcing Orton to fumbled the ball, that was returned for a touchdown. the booth reviewed the play, and the call stands. with a few seconds left on the clock, Jones missed the field goal sealing the win for Wisconsin.

I never hear the stadium more silence than that day... ever!

National Championship hope? gone.
Big Ten Championship hope? gone.
Orton as Heisman Trophy winner? gone.

Purdue went to lose the next 4 games and it was just really painful to watch the games. We DID win the game against Ohio St and Indiana, but none of those seems important at that time.

Pontiac used the fumble-return for touchdown play for the 'game changing performance' campaign they have. and guess what? it won!! congrats to wisconsin.. and purdue... i guess? ESPN used to play Orton's fumble so much that I had to switch the TV to another channel whenever that happens. it was just too painful too watch.

Now the situation is quite different. Wisconsin is ranked 21th nationally, and Purdue is unranked.

All the statistics and opinions favor Wisconsin over Purdue. I mean, who wouldn't? We're still struggling with our defense and Wisconsin is rolling with their big linemen and their freshman running back PJ Hill. I read in the news that PJ Hill was the fastest freshman ever to reach 1000 yards or something. (they and their silly statistics) the point is that they're good.

So, what will it be? will Purdue finally get over the most painful loss in the last couple of years, or they will go back to the drawing board and try to get another win next year (as much as last year's team tried to do.. and failed!).

Nonetheless, 21 is my favorite number ^^. and somehow I figured it's not really impossible to get a win this weekend.

I just hope even if we lose, the game won't be as painful as the one in 2004

enough football talks.. the weather doesn't support my plan to take some autumn color photographs this week, so I'll probably try again tomorrow or sometime in the weekend. Also hopefully the weather won't be too cold or cloudy during the game this saturday as I plan to take some football pics.

JC's bringin sexy back...

now this is how you play a piano..

!@#$%^&*()

2006-10-15T12:10:00.000-07:00

No pics this week since I didn't attend any football games. I'll probably take some outdoor photographs this week since the leaves are starting to show some autumn colors.

This is probably one of the stupidest think I did in the past few months. I failed to do the special registration the last time I went back to Indo. When I talked to the OPT counseler, she was confused because there was no FIN numbers on my I-94. I remembered after my undergraduate years I had the exact same problem and the forced me to do a 'special' special registration at the INS office in Indy. The room was guarded by a special agent, and he asked me if I possesed any guns. That was when I realized that it was a pretty serious matter.

The thing is, I did one during my winter '05 trip, but due to time constraints, I was unable to do one on my may trip.

Now even the counseler have no idea what to do.

I'm gonna be pretty pissed if they deported me because of this matter.

Weekend at Ohio St

2006-10-08T23:47:00.001-07:00

Red River Shootout.. simulated?

2006-10-06T02:07:00.000-07:00

ini video gak penting banget sii benernya... cman gue suka aja, soalnya play nya keren.. yg gak terlalu ngikutin football mungkin gak terlalu ngerti kali ya dmana kerennya...

Basically every year Texas and Oklahoma faces each other in 'Red River Shootout' at Cotton Bowl in Dallas. Yes, they play this game on a neutral ground. That's what making it quite special for the rivalry. This year the game would be played this weekend.

Jadi ya.. tadi gue iseng2 aja.. sekalian ngetest TV tuner & youtube..
heuhue..

Next year baby... next year...

2006-09-30T23:24:00.001-07:00

gue ada sedikit artikel tentang Notre Dame di sini.. ini kira2 mungkin bisa summarize sedikit pengalaman gue ari ini (sabtu) di South Bend.. ntar besok2 kalo gak (lagi) ngantuk.. gue ceritain sedikit... pokonya bener2 invaluable experience deh... ^^

"For a sports fan, visiting Notre Dame for a football weekend is like a pilgrimage, like going to Lourdes, or Jerusalem, or Mecca and Medina. You go there to be part of something bigger. To be a part of tradition. To be a part of history. But there's something more, something higher, involved. I can't quite explain it, even after being there. But when you're there, whether you're religious or not, I think you can feel it. Somehow, it all makes sense. You come away feeling good, no matter what happens in the game.

It's a beautiful thing."

Next week: Ohio St vs Bowling Green (kalo jadi... jadi gak Bot?)

2006-09-14T22:31:00.000-07:00

dinginnya malam...

nulis apa yah..
akhir2 ini.. kok pikiran gue kaya diselimutin sama kabut gitu.. gak bisa berpikir jernih... kreatifitas jadi mandek.. alhasil beberapa aktivitas yg mo dilakuin jd tidak terlaksana semua... yang ada juga setengah2 aja jadinya..

mesti fokus.. ditambah flu/batuk/sakit tenggorokan yang lewat seenak jidat tanpa diundang... lebih berat lagi buat konsen....

gue seneng deh baca artikel2 nya adhitya mulya.. (bisa diliat di sini) kadang menghibur.. kadang ngebuat lo mikir juga.. maklum abis nonton filem jomblo.. yg terus terang bisa dibilang cukup mengesankan.. lagu nya 'dewi malam' bagus banget.. sayang gak ketemu mp3 nya (yg punya.. boleh loh.. di bagi2 saya..) ini liriknya:

Dewi Malam - OST Jomblo

dewi malam
ku pinta seorang wanita pada pasir
dengan butirnya wajahmu terukir

ku pergi menghamba jawab pada air
didalamnya ku rasa hangatmu mengalir

kau datang dengan angin tak terasa
kau datang menghembus membelai muka
ku pinta bintang untuk berikan nama
ku dengar mereka sebut namamu

dewi malamku…

dewi malamku…

mengasihimu dan menyayangimu
aku rela pergi jauh ‘tuk itu semua
mencintaimu dan memilikimu
aku rela mati
rasakan itu semua

rasakan itu semua
karena kau dewi malamku

alhasil jg akhir2 ini banyak bgt waktu yg gue abisin di depan msn... kerasa sepi sekali.. walau berada di tempat keramaian.. baru ada seseorang yg bisa ngebuat gue nggak kerasa kesepian.. tapi gue tau gak bisa bergantung sama dia buat jangka panjang..

I could have met you in a sandbox
I could have passed you on the sidewalk
Could I have missed my chance
And watched you walk away?

besok hari jumat... hari minggu ada seseorang yg bakal pergi dari sini.. seseorang yg gak akan baca blog ini.. yang akhir2 ini sudah amat sangat jauh dari kehidupan gue.. (dibandingkan paruh terakhir tahun 2004) tapi masih sanggup ngebuat gue ngerasa melo pas dia bilang bakal pegi minggu ini...

hmm... bulat sudah keputusan gue... januari 2007 gue NGGAK AKAN ada disini lagi... cukup sudah... 6 tahun bukan waktu yang singkat.. siapa yg nyangka kalo gue bakal ngelihat freshman2 yg umurnya enam tahun lebih muda dari gue dateng kesini..

fuck this place.. fuck chicago.. fuck midwest.... (maap yg tersinggung... digantti aja sama apa gituu... -beep- this place gitu heuheuhe... sekali lagi maap)

hmm.. jadi enak perasaan nya...
saatnya bobo?

dewi malamku.. dimanakah kau berada..?

hembusan angin malam.....

Will our soul trapped inside the power of fate?

2006-08-09T20:40:00.000-07:00

First of all, this is not my opinion. Someone with the initial AAG requested me to translate her post, and I was willing to do it. The reason was that I found her writing interesting, and also to shape up my rusty English. So please do forgive me for any grammar or syntax mistakes found in the following translation ^_^ The original post can be read here

Alasan laen... kamera gue masih di cahya.. jadi blom bisa upload foto2 yg direquest saudara Kari.. huehuehuhe...

Will our soul trapped inside the power of fate?
The essence of my thoughts you're about to read today has not been influenced by another soul's
opinion. There must've many people thought about this matter already, but what you about to read
below was born from my own, honest opinion, staged by the night's dark, melancholic night.

Difficult. Was the word coming out of my mouth when I first read the question.
Silence. Was my spontaneous reaction before finally taking it deeper into my heart.
After taking some time to really absorb the essence of the question, my response was: 'Our soul is not incarnated with the power of fate'. First, I will interpret the true meaning of 'fate', according to my own, sincere opinion. Other people might disagree with this statement, but it shouldn't matter, since different people pursue different understandings.

Fate according to my interpretation may be described as the end of each of the series of events
happening from the individual's previous encounter, and not as the end of the whole scenario.
What's the difference, you asked? Take this example for a moment: French fries that was spilled while I was eating at McD. Was it fate or destiny, that I had to encounter such occurrence? The
answer is no, since such occurrence won't happened if I was a bit more careful during my action,
especially since such incidents were not rare in my past experience. (pengalaman pribadi lin?
^_^)

This matter of opinion can also be elaborated to address the soulmate of an individual. My
definition of 'fate' includes series of steps that needs to be concluded before achieving the
real, final and definite 'fate'. Many people might disagree with this opinion. Allow me to
elaborate my understanding. Let's say that, hypothetically, I choose to end my relationship with my boyfriend tonight, (amit2 ya lin ^_^)I won't have the power to say that 'it is fate that ends
it all'. Why? Because the source of all the decision is that I was the one that made it so that
I'm not with him.

My interpretation of fate is different from from the definition of 'voice of the heart'. Some of
you might respond to my hypothetical situation by saying that because I chose to end my
relationship with my boyfriend, such situation concludes as my destiny. From my opinion, it was definitely not fate that ended my relationship with him, but a little voice from my heart was
the one that influence me to do such thing. I really believe that it was something that I hear
from God, being his decision to separate me from him, and not because of the work of fate.

This reminds me of someone's saying who believe that someone's soulmate is NOT in God's hand. (boy, this should be interesting ^_^) Again, let me explain this before proposing a judgement. Whenever a couple decided to put themselves in the holy matrimony, one of them needs to propose to the other person. This statement was clearly against the old saying that 'jodoh ga akan lari ke mana-mana' (soulmate will not hinder from you). I guess it's pretty obvious that the reason is that without proposal from one of the couple, there would not be such thing as marriage.

So, do you believe in Fate? or Do you believe in Magic?

gak jadi canoeing kmaren =( jadinya post foto2 lama aja deh....

curahan akhir minggu...

2006-07-17T00:04:00.000-07:00

mm.. ini blog harusnya buat foto2 ajah... tapi entah kenapa lagi pengen nulis nihh... buat selingan lah ya....

dah jem tiga pegi men.... lima jem lagi mesti bangun... enam jem lagi musti kerja men... tapi kok gak pengen bobo ya men... duh gara2 si anto neh gue ketularan ngasi akhiran 'men' ampir disetiap akhir kalimat... untung gak ketularan certain people yg ampir semua akhiran kalimat nya ada 'anjing' heuheuheue....

iyah nih.... lagi demen lagunya 'nidji' yang 'hapus aku' btw, info buat yg gak tau nidji... mereka ini tuh band indo yg akhir2 ini lagi beken di kalangan anak muda indonesia.... cie.. anak muda... kaya gue masih muda aja gituh...? =p eniwei... diantara balawan.. gigi.. dewa... tangga... samsons.. dan berbagai macam cd indo yang saya borong kmaren pas balek indo... muncullah si nidji.. (ayo ngitung sama2.,.. nidji.. loro.. telu... garing bgt gak sih :s) terus yah... mereka tuh mirip bgt sama coldplay dulu... yg model nyanyi nya diseret2 kaya orang mo matek.. tapi satu lg yg gue suka ini rada2 upbeat.. en lirik nya radaan nyes... jadinya gue suka... yg penasaran google aje yee..? gak susah kok dapet nya.... ini pertama kali denger gak suka gituh... apalagi awal2 dari sang peminjam (makasih yah topiq + reni) udah dibilangin kalo juelekkk banget.... tapi kadang enak jg ngedengerin... suka sesuai suasana hati gituh... bole laa...

terus yah... hmm.. kok jadi balek demen tenis lagi ya...? padahal dulu kalo latian angot2 an gitu.. kalo lagi demen ya pegi.. kalo lg males mesti diseret-seret dulu gituh.... asik tapi rasanya... soalnya yg laen maen nya pada niat juga... sebelom jem 12 malem teng pasti blom ada yg mo udahan.. heuheue.. (hence explaining my recurring insomnia... ceritanya jd hyper gituh... blom turun....) asik aja rasanya kalo bisa ngontrol kemana bola nya pegi... :)

another note... summer ini gue dapet satu orang temen yang mayan lucu.... (plok plok plok) line, kalo elu baca ini... iyehh yang gue maksud itu eluu... tapi jgn ge-er yeee!!!!!!!! awasss....!! heuheue... iyah ni.. dah lama gak ada temen untuk berbagi cela.... (cela... bukan celana... ati2 yah... bisa gawat kalo salah...) btw kalo lu baca ini sebelon selasa.... malem karaoke yuk? :) kalo elu baca ini sesudah selasa... moga2 sukses deh exam nya.. :) (baek kan gua..?) kalo lu gak baca ini... kok gak baca sih..?? baca dong!!!!! hihih... maap dah malem... and nggak!! gua gak lagi mabok!!!!

hadoh ini alamat si boss bakal jutek deh besok.... ni boss gue lucu deh, ketebak banget gt... kalo gue dateng tepat waktu.... pasti nyapa nya 'how's it going my friend? you doin allright?' dengan tampang berseri-seri... kalo gue telat.... pas gue nyapa.... pasti cman bilang 'hey.. watsup' terus langsung sbuk lagi dengan layar laptop nya' hiuhihi... ups..

adoh gue ngidem supermi.... mi sedaap enak ya? lebih enak dari supermi ato indomie... serpihan2 nya banyak gitu... ada yg kaya bawang goreng.. ada yg kacang... macem2 d... kreatip gitu... tapi kok disini gak dijual ya..? :s

mo pasang foto temen2 indo ku nih... gi kangen... hehe tapi internet nya lagi lambat banget... jadi males... terus mesti di crop sama compress dulu pake adobe... padahal lagi ngerun program pembajak buat nyolong filem2 dan game2 yg pastinya mayan makan banyak memori.... bisa2 lambat bgt komp gue.. besok sajah kali ya... aduh temen2 ku.... ada yg manis... ada yg jelek... tapi semua sama kedudukan nya... maksudnya jadinya kan ( manis + jelek ) / 2 = standar/sama gituh.... dilihat dari rumus (-x + x) / 2 = 0 masuk akal ga sih...? kok gue malah tambah garing sih.... aduhaduhaudh.... gak tau ah.. GILAA GUA BLOM NGANTUK!!!!!

aaa.. dah lama banget gak nulis blog... jadi gak brenti2 gini... mm.. btw.. i will visit anyone's blog... except all people that used to be on my old 'loop'.. i'm just gonna say that upfront hehe... alasan nya..? tanya aja sendiri sama orangnya... :) soo.. just drop me a line here... trus kasi jg alamat blog nya (i don't really think this is gonna work... but it's worth a shot eh?) ntar gue pisit2 balik... okeh?
