Sitting here in front of my screenWaiting impatiently for a reply from a teenWith that font with a color greenMy only hope that she's keenCan't believe she's only eighteenBut she's already good enough to be my queenIf I'm not careful I'll fall to a ravineI think it's alright for my heart will be sereneOh that body just so leanMade a grown man cry his tears cleanIn thoughts I lay betweenI don’t mind if this girl ruined my routineSome things in her heart remain unseenBut somehow I've got this strong feeling in my spleenSince she understands whatever I meanA strong relationship we'll have, I have foreseenG Suratman, August 2004

Here I am drifting between heaven and hellCaused by an arrow shot by a little cupidI said 'My God she's just too young that little belle''This arrow wasn't meant for me, that little guy must be stupid'In as much as I'm getting wiser everydayWise enough know that little belle has much more year to goBy the time I have something to sayI have nowhere but a grave to goSome people may say love is blindAnd in love they would let themselves fellBut nothing else comes to my mindOnly here I am drifting between heaven and hell

Hmmm.. long time no write in this blog. And it's already Thursday now, damn! Just one more week 'til the Econ140 essay's due date, plus the Quan111 30% test, plus the Accy111 40% test next Friday. What's worse, I still don't have much ideas for the essay. It's hopefully not as hard as the FCOM essays (cos u need lotsa research in them).
Anyway, on Monday when Ing-Ing and I were about to post the Quan111 assignment, we met this Chinese-looking girl who was asking us how to do two of the questions. Then I guess she heard me and Ing-Ing talk in Indo, and she asked me "are you from Indonesia?" and I said yeah. Then she asked again "both of you?" and Ing-Ing said yeah. And I said "what about you?". To my surprise, she said "me too!!" and yup, she' a new Indo student who just came to NZ since the beginning of the semester (she was studying for 2.5 years in Toronto, Canada before). Her name's Mira, she's from Semarang (klo ngomong Indo jg pake logat Jawa), and is taking MOFI and QUAN as her majors.
Then on Tuesday, the three of us came early to uni to discuss our essay together. Well, it was alrite, but we only got a few solutions to the essay. Oh yeah, I got a letter from Vic's International Vice-Chancellor, saying congratulations to me for my academic results in the 1st semester. When I read it, I was like "whoaa"! I never thought that the Vic people would acknowledge students who got high grades!
Hmm.. Wednesday.. the longest day ever, and it's soooo boring!! (Especially during the Info101 tutorial, aaarrrgghh!! Too bad I have to go to it to get a mark along with the weekly summary + questions). Then, when I was about to go home, I waited for my mom for sooooo long (like about half an hour outside in the coldness 'n with strong wind blowin' off ur face!!) cos she said she's gonna pick me up at 4. But I waited 'n waited but she wasn't there. So I decided to buy some hot chips, and if she's still not there after that, I was thinking about walking to KBRI instead and go home with my dad. But luckily, after I bought the chips, my mom was there. Uuuurrgghh! If only she was on time! But it's not much of her fault anyway, cos my cellphone suddenly got out of battery, 'n she tried to call me several times to tell me that she'd be late. Oh wellllll.. nasib deh..
Oh well, I gotta go to my ACCY111 tutorial now. After that I'm planning to make the identical friendship bracelets (from Fancy World) for myself, Anna, Rohymas, and Vandana. I'm gonna give them as a present, so they don't have to pay me. Oh yea, I made one for Lily just 2 days before she flew to China.
L8erz..^^

Okay, okay, where should I begin? Hmmm.. actually, on Friday we had the practices 'n stuff. And for the 1st time in my whole life, he actually came to me 'n started talking to me!! (that time the others were waiting for Nara to finish writing the song lyrics, and I was sitting at the keyboard, playing some random piano chromatic scales, hehee). I was suprised, heheh, a bit heureuse aussi. He asked me what classical piano songs I can play 'n stuffs like that. Then he also played a classical piece by Chopin (I've never heard of the song, but it was nice 'n fast! And I was quite startled that he could actually play fast songs!!!). He said he usually played Etudes, but he never played Revolutionary Etude or Fantaisie Impromptu. And he hasn't played the piano for such a long long time.. how sad.. But I'm sure he still got the skills 'n techniques!! Especially I just know he's musically talented, and after all, he took piano lessons for 8 years!! Whoa!! I only took it for 4 years, and I'm already bored with it. (But thanx to my mom who forced me to do it till I really have the skills. Cuz, two years after I took piano lessons, I got totally bored 'n wanted to quit it! And I only reached Grade 2 that time. But I got to Grade 5 before I quitted the lesson for good -- I was 12 that time).
Oh yeah, yesterday (Saturday), we had the gladikotor 'n I guess it went pretty well. I don't really care about the Saman dance, but I DO care about the band. And luckily, I could reach the high notes when I sang Only When I Sleep in the gladikotor. I think we looked like we were stressed out 'n nervous when we were singing the songs, but that's cuz we didn't do some moves, heheh. We only stood still and not move an inch!! Hahahaaa, I know it must've looked stupide!! But after the gladikotor ended, Vivi, Aji 'n I went to a room to discuss what sorta moves we should do on stage (when I say "moves", it doesn't mean "dancing around"!!!!). And thanx to Yani, we got some ideas, 'n now I kinda know what to do on stage when I sing The Corrs' song. Yani told me to act like a diva in the part where I "scream" in the end (meaning: the loooooooong, high note near the end of the song. U know, like how divas normally do it, hehee :p ) But hey hey, I'm not a diva!! I practiced it in front of the mirror in my room when I got home, but I felt dumb doing it. I mean, I looked dumb trying to make the impression like "I'm the diva, I'm the star in that song". Gosh, I can't really do it naturally, unlike Yani who's really spontaneous and can act easily.
Anywaaaaayy.. today I finally got my boots!!! We got it from Farmers (in North City). When I saw the boots, I just knew I like it. And when I tried it on, it looked really nice on me (unlike the other few boots that I tried, which were the same size but kinda big near my ankles). Actually, I liked this one and another one which also suits me. But the other one's more casual, less feminine (urgh, I hate the word feminine!!), less stylish, 'n wouldn't really suit me if I wear long skirts (it would suit short skirts though). So I decided on the former, and I just luv it not because it's more.. umm.. feminine!! (uuurrrgghh I hate that word!!!!!!) But only because it's edgier 'n more stylish, 'n it'll look really nice if I wear long skirts or the mini cargo skirt. And yeah, my parents said it was nice too, so my dad bought it for me!! Oh yeah, the original price was $60.. or $50. But the price label sez it's reduced to $35. But when I paid for it, the cashier lady said it's $20, which means that it got reduced even more!! Heheh, lucky 4 me for getting the boots, 'n lucky for my dad who can pay less for it to buy it pour moi.

Hmmm.. I guess I've been busy these days. I finished the Accy111 assignment that's due tomorrow (but I already handed it today), Quan111 assignment, and just a few hours ago I'm done with the stupid annoying Info101 weekly assignment (summary plus 3 or 4 extra Qs). I'm confused whether to start working on the Econ140 essay today or not. But then I decided to start working on the Access assignment instead. I thought it was gonna be somewhat easy, but it's hard!! Probably cos we weren't taught that much in the workshops, and I forgot most about the Access stuff I learned in 6th Form.
Anyway, about the Friendster message from the latest you-know-who, it was just a normal message (just as I thought). He was telling me a few things from what I asked in my testimonial for him. But what made me uncomfortable was that the way he wrote the message was kinda.. formal.. well i dunno, sort of uneasy, kinda awkward. I wanted to reply him after that, but I didn't, cos I just didn't know what to write back. Ah oui!! Aujourd'hui est son anniversaire!! Il est vingt-huit ans maintenant. Heheheee..
Oh yeah.. yesterday I finally downloaded "Jera" by Agnes Monica (an Indonesian singer of my age). I luuuuuvvvvv the song so much!! It's so sad, makes me wanna cry, yet so beautiful, and Agnes sang it so passionately!! Then I tried to sing along with it, and first of all I couldn't do it properly. But after I replayed the song several times, I got familiar with it, then I sang and recorded myself singing it!! After a few recordings, I finally got the best one, and saved it, voila!! And you know, when I compared it with my previous recordings (of other songs), I think that this one's the best so far. Back when I finished recording myself singing "If I Ain't Got You" by Alicia Keys, I used to think that I sang it really well. But now, when I compare it to myself singing "Jera", I feel embarrassed of myself cos the Alicia Keys recording was actually crap!! (Even though my friends like it a lot).
I sooooo wanna change this Mickey Mouse layout to something else. Like, I wanna make my own layout with my pics in it, but I just don't have time. If only I'm in the holidays at the moment, making a new layout would be my very first thing to do in the morning. Heehehee..

Currently I'm havin a break from my assignment. Well, not really a "break", but I just don't feel like doing it on 'n on. Anyway, I was surprised when I checked my hotmail. There was an email from Friendster, and it sez that I got a new message from the-latest-u-know-who. I was astonished, cos I can't believe he'd actually send me a Friendster message. Well, cos.. umm.. I kinda have a crush on this guy ever since the dance 'n drama 'n band practices 'n stuff. But long before that, ever since I added him on Friendster --no, actually waaay long before that, about 2 years ago when I first saw him as a keyboardist in the band rehearsal & imitating me by playing "Rondo a la Turc" on the keyboard-- I kinda got the feeling that I might get the chance to know him in person and get close to him (just like the kind of feeling I got when I first saw Sheila in my Econ130 class). Oh yeah, I can't believe we have a few things in common that other guys rarely do!! But.. I think he's got a girlfriend at the moment. But it's not like it's gonna affect me or anything, cos I'm just having a slight crush on him.
Anyway, with no hesitation, I opened Friendster immediately. But unfortunately, it was under maintenance! Dammit!! Now I'm wondering what the message is all about..
Oh yeah, yesterday I was looking for a pair of boots in #1 Shoe Warehouse, but none of them suits me. There's these boots that I like, but the sales assistant said that they only got size 9 and 10 for it (she said something like "what's there is what's left). Sigh..
Hmm.. what did I do today? Went to uni of course.. then I did my Accy111 assignment with Ing-Ing, then headed off to Info101 lecture, then to tha Econ140 tutorial. Oh yeaaaaaa.. I have a crush on my Econ140 tutor!! He's cute! Well, he's not really cute, but more like handsome. He's still young 'n still doing Honours this year. He's a cool type of guy!! Tall figure, body that's perfect for a big hug, broad shoulders, cool looks, 'n sexy voice & accent!! Huahuahauhauaa!! I think I'm gettin' crazeeh!!
Now I wonder why I always have a crush on one of my tutors every semester :p Cos last semester I had a crush on my FCOM110 tutor, cos he's not only cute, but he's also really nice to me!! He's so helpful, and he always gave me an A+ for ALL of my essays!! I remember when I was doing my very first essay in university, and it was about Globalization for FCOM110. I got really stressed about it and worked really hard on it day and night, cos I'm such a slow essay-writer. And then, when I got my result, I couldn't believe that I got an A+!! I almost cried!! (For real!! 'n that was in the tutorial class). BUt I guess it really paid off, cos I worked extremely hard for that essay. Chika and Utine knew about my mark, and they said something like "OMG!! U must be crazy!!" Hehe, I think I was :p
Oh well.. gotta continue my assignment. (Hehehee, wanna be a good girl again :p )

This morning I was so damn tired cos I stayed awake till like 1.30 am last nite. I didn't go to Newlands, cos I had to do my Info101 assignment.
When my parents got home from NL (my bro had basketball practice), we headed to town to get a birthday present for myself. We were looking for a formal pair of shoes. We went to a few shoe stores in Lambton Quay, but none of them suits me. And every time I like the model or something, they don't have the size for my feet. Cos I got small feet (size 5.5 or 6).
So from LQ, we went to Cuba Mall and entered the 1st shoe store there, which was Wild Pair. They were having an enormous sale, and when I saw this a pair of black shoes on the shelf I instantly knew that those are the ones I like 'n want. I grabbed it and tried it on (fortunately the one on the shelf was already my size: 5.5) First of all I thought the shoes felt too tight on my feet, but they didn't have size 6, so I tried them again and felt comfy with it (although I need to get used to walking with those high heels!! :p ) And with no hesitation after that, we bought the shoes!! Most incredibly, Wild Pair's a cool store but the shoes that I bought were only $69.95, which wasn't that expensive if you compare it to the other shoe prices in the LQ stores.
After that, we ate at McDonald's. And I asked my dad if I can get another present, which is a pair of boots (cos actually I wanted boots more than formal shoes, but my mom insisted that I should get formal shoes cuz I dont have one yet). When I said it, my dad looked sort of.. you know.. like you don't wanna get me another present, especially boots cos they're usually expensive too. But before I gave him a chance to say something, I told him that the boots in #1 Shoe Warehouse were all at low prices like $20, $30, or maybe $40. Then he hesitated for a while, but then he said yes. YAAAAYYY!! Happy!! Happy!! Happy!!!!!
Then, it was 4.30 pm when we got to #1 Shoe Warehouse. I thought that the store closes at 5.30 pm, but when we got there it was already closed!! It sez that it closes at 4 pm on Sunday, 6 pm in the weekdays, and 5 pm on Saturday. Boohoooo.. :'(
