ENGLISH
Hi all, as you can read here last week, Saturday is one of my busiest day of the week, and so was yesterday. Yesterday morning I got up at 6.12 AM, then did my routinities including going to my campus at 6.55 AM. My first lecture started at 7 AM, and finished at 8.45 AM. At 9 AM, my second lecture started, there was no lecture apparently, but a pop-quiz!! Arrrggggghhh.... . But then at 9.40 AM, after finishing doing my work, I left the class, and since I still had 75 minutes to 11 AM, I went to the net cafe first. At 11 AM, I went back to my campus and had my last lecture of the week. After that, I went to my friend's boarding house to do our statistics homework. At 3 PM, we finished doing that stuff, and finally I could take a nap.
Since my car has been available, I didn't have to spend my weekend just by walking around my boarding house. At 6 PM, my friend and I (finally) went to Bandung Supermal (BSM). Weekend in Bandung is actually not a comfortable time to go around since so many people from Jakarta go to Bandung at weekend, and so was yesterday night. It took about 50 minutes from my boarding house to go to Bandung Supermal. At almost 7 PM, we arrived at BSM and directly went to the food court and had dinner. After walking around the mall and buying some snacks at the supermarket, we went to the "Snow World", at the parking lot of BSM. The ticket was Rp. 40,000.oo (about $4.44). You know what?? For me, it was pretty disappointing. I still prefer the Ice World which I have been in Malaysia, Bangkok, and Shen-Zhen (China). I knew I couldn't expect I would see any "snow" there, but I could expect for a greater place. Yep, it was good actually, but not that "great". They weren't supposed to call that "Snow World" but "Ice World". But that's okay.... . I post some of its pics below.... :)
Note: now I'm in a cafe and using its hotspot service, he3.... :) It's my second time cruising the net with my lapty, the first one was this time. >> cruising the net with hotspot feature is a lot cozier than going to the net cafe... :) I think I'm getting indulged with this service. Btw, now I have installed Lime Wire and Firefox 2.0 to my lapty.

Hallo semua, seperti yang bisa dibaca disini minggu lalu, Sabtu adalah salah satu hari tersibuk buat saya, dan begitu juga Sabtu kemarin ini. Kemarin pagi aku harus bangun jam 6.12 pagi, trus melakukan rutinitasku termauk pergi ke kampus jam 6.55 pagi. Kuliah pertamaku dimulai jam 7 pagi dan selesai jam 8.45 pagi. Jam 9 pagi, kuliah keduaku dimulai, dan ternyata nggak ada kuliah sih, tapi kuis mendadak!! Arrrggggghhh.... . Tetapi kemudian jam 9.40, habis aku menyelesaikan pekerjaanku, aku meninggalkan kelasnya, dan karena aku masih punya 75 menit sebelum jam 11, makanya aku pergi ke warnet dulu deh. Jam 11 pagi, aku ke kampus lagi dan mengikuti kuliah terakhir minggu ini. Habis itu aku pergi ke kos-an temenku untuk mengerjakan PR statistik-ku. Jam 3 sore, kita selesai mengerjakan PR kami, dan akhirnya aku bisa istirahat siang deh.
Karena mobilku udah balik, aku nggak harus menghabiskan akhir mingguku dengan jalan-jalan di sekitar kos-ku. Jam 6 sore, aku sama temenku (akhirnya) kemarin pergi ke Bandung Supermal (BSM). Akhir minggu di Bandung bukanlah saat yang nyaman untuk pergi jalan-jalan soalnya banyak orang dari Jakarta yang jalan-jalan ke Bandung pada akhir pekan, begitu juga kemarin malam. Ternyata semalam membutuhkan waktu hampir 50 menit loh dari kosku ke BSM. Pas hampir jam 7 malam, kita sampai di BSm dan angsung deh pergi ke food court-nya dan makan malam disana. Habis jalan-jalan di dalam mall-nya dan beli beberapa snack di supermarketnya, kita pergi ke "Snow World" (Dunia Salju) yang terletak di tempat parkirnya BSM. Tiket masuknya tuh Rp. 40.000,oo (sekitar 4,44 USD). Tapi bagaimana?? Untuk aku, lumayan mengecewakan tuh. Aku masih memilih Dunia Es yang pernah aku kunjungi di Malaysia, Bangkok, dan Shen-Zhen (China). Aku tau sih aku nggak bisa untuk mengharapkan untuk melihat "salju" disana, tapi aku kan bisa dong mengharapkan tempat yang lebih bagus. Sebenernya bagus sih, tapi nggak se-"wah" itu deh. Mereka nggak seharusnya menyebutnya "snow World" (Dunia Salju), tetapi "Ice World" (Dunia Es). Tapi nggak papa sih.... . Aku dah upload tuh beberapa fotonya di atas.... :)
Note: sekarang aku ada di sebuah cafe dan memakai fasilitas hotspotnya nih, he3.... :) Ini adalah kali kedua aku browsing pake fasilitas hotspot, yang pertama adalah pada waktu ini. >> internetan pake hotspot tuh lebih nyaman daripada pergi ke warnet... :) Kayanya aku mulai menyukai fasilitas ini deh. Btw, sekarang aku dah install Lime Wire sama Firefox 2.0 loh ke laptopku.
ENGLISHHi all, as you can read here last week, I had been waiting for a brand new reality show The Amazing Race Asia for this week, which was premierred at AXN last night. Finally, last night my long waiting was over.The race began at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, with 10 teams from 7 different countries (2 from Malaysia, 2 from Phillipines, 1 from Indonesia, 1 from Hong Kong, 1 from Singapore, 1 from Thailand (they are English actually), 1 from India, and 1 from Sri Lanka). Well, the Indonesian team were physically unfit, overweight flabby, not so agile, and didn't look like a tough team. That's why I think most of other teams at first underestimated them. BUT you know what?? Yesterday they were the winner of the first race, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, the hometown of 2 other Malaysian teams. Wow, they were so smart...... :) Actually, they arrived at the pitstop at the same time (almost the same, just 5 seconds different) with one other Malaysian Team (Andrew and Syeon) >> the Malaysian Team arrived first, 5 seconds before them. But unluckily, that Malaysian Team didn't read the hints carefully. They took shortcut to go to the KL Tower (the pitstop was on the top of KL Tower, and to reach there, they should go in the jungle trek first, but they (Malaysian team) didn't). Therefore, that Malaysian team had to go down again and finished that trek first before checking in the pitstop (and finally they arrived at the fifth place). The last team to arrive was Sandy and Fransesca, from Hong Kong. Luckily, it was just a pre-race, not an elimination race, therefore they were still in the race. Watching the trailer next week, I'm almost sure the race was gonnabe in JAKARTA, Indonesia. Probably the task had something to do with Padang's (West Sumatra) culture since I saw the Gadang House and "Tari Piring" (Piring Dance). At first I thought it was in Padang, but then I saw the highway and Silver Bird Taxis, which are only in Jakarta. That Gadang House was probably inside TMII. Hmmm, Jakarta, I don't wanna miss the next episode...... :DWho do I root for?? I'm still not pretty sure since it's still the beginning, but so far I like 5 teams (Wow, 5 teams means half of all...... :D), Indonesian team (Mardy and Marsio), both Malaysian teams (Andrew and Syeon; Zabrina and Joe Jer), Singaporean Teams (Melody and Sharon), and one Phillipines Team (Aubrey and Jaq) >> they are model and actress, they're so funny during the race. Well, we can't underestimate female models, Dustin and Kandice, beauty queens who joined The Amazing Race 10, were so tough and tactical, now they're in the final five......
Lesson of the first episode: Mind beats Muscle...... :)
BAHASA INDONESIAHallo semua, seperti yang bisa dibaca disini minggu lalu, aku sudah menunggu sebuah reality show yang baru, yaitu The Amazing Race Asia untuk minggu ini, yang mulai ditayangkan di AXN semalam. Akhirnya, kemarin malam penantian panjangku berakhir sudah. Pertandingan dimulai di Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, dengan 10 tim dari 7 negara (2 dari Malaysia, 2 dari Filipina, 1 dari Indonesia, 1 dari Hong Kong, 1 dari Singapura, 1 dari Thailand (mereka orang Inggris sebenernya), 1 dari India, dan 1 dari Sri Lanka). Hmm, tim Indonesia tuh secara fisik kayak nggak begitu fit, kelebihan berat badan gemuk, nggak begitu lincah, dan nggak keliatan kayak tim yang tangguh. Itulah kenapa kebanyakan tim yang lain pada awalnya meremehkan mereka. TETAPI tebak bagaimana?? Kemarin mereka adalah pemenang dari pertandingan pertama loh, di Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, rumah bagi 2 tim dari Malaysia yang lain. Wow, ternyata mereka pintar...... :) Sebenernya sih mereka sampai di pitstopnya bersamaan (hampir sama, cuma beda 5 detik doank log) dari salah satu tim dari Malaysia (Andrew dan Syeon) >> Tim Malaysia sampai duluan, 5 detik sebelum mereka. Tetapi malangnya, mereka nggak membaca petunjuk dengan hati-hati. Mereka mengambil jalan pintas menuju KL Tower (pitstopnya ada di puncak KL Tower, dan untuk kesana, mereka harus melalui Jalan Hutan dulu, tapi mereka (tim Malaysia) engga), makanya mereka harus turun lagi dan menyelesaikan tuh perjalanan dulu sebelum masuk di pitstop (dan akhirnya mereka sampai di urutan kelima). Tim terakhir yang sampai adalah Sandy dan Fransesca, dari Hong Kong. Untungnya, kemarin adalah pertandingan permulaan, bukan babak eliminasi, makanya mereka masih ada di dalam kompetisi. Nonton cuplikannya minggu depan, aku hampir yakin kalo pertandingannya bakalan di JAKARTA, Indonesia loh. Mungkin tugas selanjutnya ada hubungannya dengan kebudayaan Padang (Sumatra Barat) soalnya aku ngeliat Rumah Gadang dan tari Piring tuh. Pertamanya aku kira itu bakalan ada di Padang, tapi kemudian aku ngelihat jalan tol dan Taksi Silver Bird, yang adanya ya di Jakarta. Trus mungkin tuh Rumah Gadang ada di TMII. Hmmm, Jakarta, aku nggak mau melewatkan episode selanjutnya...... :D Siapakah yang aku dukung?? Masih blom yakin sih, kan masih awal-awal acara, tapi sejauh ini aku suka 5 team (Wow, 5 team berarti kan setengahnya tuh...... :D), 1 team dari Indonesia (Mardy dan Marsio), semua tim dari Malaysia (Andrew dan Syeon; Zabrina dan Joe Jer), Tim dari Singapura (Melody dan Sharon), dan satu Tim dari Filipina (Aubrey dan Jaq) >> mereka model, dan sangat lucu loh selama pertandingan. Hmm, kita nggak bisa meremehkan wanita model loh, Dustin dan Kandice, kontestan kontes Ratu Kecantikan, yang ikut The Amazing Race 10, hebat dan taktis juga, sekarang mereka masuk 5 besar loh......
Pelajaran dari episode pertama: Pikiran mengalahkan Otot...... :)
ENGLISHBefore starting writing about my yesterday, I wanna write about my Monday evening first. After finishing surfing the net, I went back home with my heart beating hoping my TV was okay and worked that evening since I really wanted to watch The Amazing Race 10. And luckily my wish was granted, my TV worked well. This week episode, they travelled from Mauritius to Madagascar. After playing the whole race, in the end, David and Mary were eliminated from the race, and that was such an emotional moment. The fifth team to arrive at the pitstop was Lyn and Karlyn (they actually the latest to arrive, but since David and Mary (the fifth to arrive) got 30 minutes penalty, and Lyn and Karlyn arrived just 10 minutes after David and Mary arrived; as a result David and Mary were eliminated). Actually, David-Mary-Lyn-Karlyn (and also The Cho brothers) were best-friends. Therefore, yesterday when they had to stop from the race, it was such an emotional moment.Let's talk about yesterday. Tuesday actually is my free-day, but since we had to finish our assignment, yesterday my friends and I went to my campus at 9 AM to finish those tasks at the computer lab. Btw, finally I could use my campus' internet service, it was FREE, but the connection was so slow. At 11 AM, we went to my campus Building 9 and had an informal meeting with our lecturers talking about the progress of the lectures during this whole half semester. Then, we also got lunch Hoka-Hoka Bento, and got discount vouchers of it, wakakakakzzz........ :) :) :)At 3.30 PM, my friend and I went to Surya Sumantri to pick my car. And yes, it had been finished yesterday, yaay..... :) Finally I can drive my car again, he3....... :) That evening we went to Istana Plaza. After having dinner, my friend had to go to his friend house, therefore we went back home just after that. When we were about to go to the parking lot, when we were walking to the lifts, the electricity went out!!! That happened twice!! >> each for about a minute. Arrgggggh..... . That was the first time for me, inside a mall, the electricity went out!!! Then, we went back home.BAHASA INDONESIASebelum memulia nulis tentang kemarin, aku mau nulis cerita senin Malam dulu ah. Habis menyelesaikan main internet, aku balik ke kos dengan jantung berdebar berharap semoga TV-ku masih nggak apa-apa. soalnya kan aku lagi pingin banget nonton The Amazing Race 10. Dan akhirnya, harapanku terkabul juga, TVku baik-baik saja. Episode minggu ini, mereka harus pergi dari Mauritius ke Madagaskar. Habis memainkan keseluruhan pertandingannya, pada akhirnya, David dan Mary tereliminasi, dan itu bener-bener momen yang emosional. Tim kelima yang sampai di pitstop adalah Lyn dan Karlyn (sebenernya mereka yang paling terakhir nyampe, tapi karena David dan Mary (yang sampai kelima) dapet penalti 30 menit, dan Lyn dan Karlyn sampai di pitstop 10 menit setelah mereka; makanya David dan Mary yang tereliminasi). Sebenernya kan David-Mary-Lyn-Karlyn (dan Cho bersaudara) kan temen baik. Makanya kemarin waktu mereka harus berhenti dari permainan adalah momen yang emosional. Mari kita ngomongin tentang kemarin. Sebenernya Selasa sih hari bebas saya, tapi karena kita harus menyelesaikan tugas, kemarin temen-temenku dan aku pergi ke kampus jam 9 pagi buat menyelesaikan tugas di lab komputer. Ngomong-ngomong, akhirnya aku bisa memakai fasilitas internet di kampus loh, dan itu kan GRATIS, tapi koneksinya lambat sih. Jam 11 pagi, kita pergi ke kampus gedung 9 dan ada pertemuan informal dengan dosen kami ngomongin tentang proses kuliah selama setengah semester ini. Trus kita juga dapet makan siang Hoka-Hoka Bento, dan dapet diskon voucher juga loh, wakakakakzzz...... :) :) :)Jam 3.30 sore, temenku dan aku pergi ke Surya Sumantri untuk mengambil mobil saya. Dan ya, sudah selesai loh, yaay..... :) Akhirnya aku bisa menyetir mobil saya lagi, he3..... :) Sorenya, kita pergi ke Istana Plaza. Habis makan malam, temenku kan harus pergi ke tempat temennya, makanya habis itu kita mau balik. Ketika kita mau ke tempat parkir, dan mau berjalan ke tempat lift-nya, ternyata listriknya mall padam!!! Dan itu terjadi dua kali!! >> masing-masing sekitar 1 menit. Arrggggghhh..... . Itu adalah pertama kalinya untuk saya, di dalam sebuah mall, listriknya mati!!! Trus kita balik deh ke rumah.
ENGLISHHi all, as you can read here, last Saturday was such an exhausting day for me, and unfortunately, that was repeated today...... :( Actually, the other hardest day of the week is Monday. I have lectures from 7 AM till 3 PM.This morning I had to get up at 6.12 AM (why did I "have to"?? > because I set my alarm to ring at 6.12 AM... :P), then took shower and had breakfast (which I had bought yesterday evening). I went to my campus at 6.55 AM. After having my first lecture, I left my campus and went to the internet cafe nearby. At 10.10 AM, I went back to my boarding house, switched my bag (to a smaller one), and took a rest for a while. Then, at 10.50 AM I walked back to my campus and had lectures until 3 PM. After that, my friends and I walked back to my boarding house, copying some datas from their Flash Discs' for the BTS (info bout this also could be found here). After they left my boarding house, finally I could take a nap... . And now, I'm in the internet cafe again... :)Tonight there will be the newest episode of The Amazing Race 10 at AXN. Hmmm, I won't miss this episode... . Btw, starting yesterday evening at 6.55 PM, I didn't know why but my TV didn't work, it happened until this morning. Luckily, at 10.15 AM, it had been okay. I guess it was the signal from the central since it happened not only at my TV.... .Well, tomorrow is Tuesday!!! Yaayyy....... . Finally tomorrow my car will be back to me. What will happen tomorrow will be posted later... :)BAHASA INDONESIAHallo semua, seperti yang bisa dibaca disini, kemarin Sabtu adalah hari yang sangat melelahkan buat saya, dan sayangnya, hal itu terulangi lagi hari ini...... :( Sebenernya, hari terberat lainnya dalam seminggu adalah Senin. Aku ada kuliah dari jam 7 sampe jam 3 sore. Pagi ini aku harus bangun jam 6.12 pagi (kenapa koq aku "harus"? > soalnya kan aku nyalain alarm untuk bunyi jam 6.12 pagi... :P), trus aku mandi dan sarapan deh (yang aku beli kemarin sore). Trus aku pergi ke kampusku jam 6.55 pagi. Habis kuliah pertama, aku meninggalkan kampusku dan pergi ke warnet di deketnya. Jam 10.10 pagi, aku balik lagi deh ke kosku, menukar tas saya (ke yang lebih kecil), dan istirahat sebentar deh. Trus jam 10.55 pagi aku jalan lagi ke kampusku dan ada kuliah deh sampe jam 3 sore. Habis itu, temen2ku sama aku jalan lagi ke kosku, mengopi beberapa data dari Flash Disk mereka untuk BTS (informasi tentang ini juga bisa ditemukan disini). Habis mereka meninggalkan kos saya, akhirnya bisa deh aku istirahat... . Dan sekarang, aku lagi di warnet lagi deh... :)Ntar malam akan ada episode terbaru dari The Amazing Race 10 di AXN. Hmmm, aku nggak bakalan melewatkan episode ini... . Btw, mulai kemarin malam jam 6.55, aku nggak tau kenapa tapi TVku nggak jalan, ini terjadi sampe pagi tadi. Untungnya jam 10.15 pagi, sudah oke lai tuh. Aku tebak sih kayanya sinyal dari pusatnya deh yang ada masalah soale ga cuma terjadi di TVku doang tuh.... . Hmm, besok adalah Selasa!!! Yesss....... . Akhirnya besok mobil saya akan kembali pada saya. Apa yang akan terjadi besok akan diposting kemudian... :)
ENGLISHArrgggghhh..... . Today has been such a tiring exhausting day for me. According to my lectures schedule, just as usual, Saturday is one of the hardest day of the week. My lectures on Saturday start at 7 AM and finish at 1 PM. Unfortunately, according to the schedule, there is NO time-break, arrrggghhhh... (but in fact, we actually get about 20 - 30 minutes time break after each lecture). But that's not the reason why Saturday is hard, 7 AM IS... :( :( :(Then, just for today, afterschool time, we had to have a meeting first about BTS, an intra-math magazine. Next January, my class (2006) will (have to) take the responsibility to be the official of this magazine. Therefore, the previous official (class 2005) want to "prepare" us first before taking that job, so when the time is coming, we (hopefully) won't meet any difficulty. After that meeting, I got 2 jobs. First, to get an inspirational story (which I stole from here; special THX to Om Upar...... :D). Second, to do an interview with a senior about Math Club. All of them have to be already done by next Monday. Then, my day wasn't over yet. I still had to finish my Elementary Statistics homework. Arrrggghhh..... . After finishing that homework for about 1.5 hours, I finally could take a rest.... :D. Two days ago, I also had to make my First Calculus Homework, I almost gave up at the third question, but with great effort (wakzzz.... :P) finally I could solve that problem... :P. There are apparently pretty much homework (and also quiz(es)) for next week. ARRRGGGHHHH.......
Btw, yesterday finally I got my last UTS scores. I got 97 for English and 90 for Elementary Statistics Labwork. Those are the highest mark in my class, he3... :DBAHASA INDONESIAArrgggghhh..... . Hari ini bener-bener hari yang melelahkan sangat melelahkan untuk saya. Berdasarkan jadwal kuliah saya, seperti biasanya, Sabtu adalah salah satu hari terberat dalam satu minggu. Kuliahku hari Sabtu dimulai jam 7 pagi dan selesai jam 1 siang. Sayangnya, berdasarkan jadwal juga, ternyata NGGAK ada istirahatnya loh, arrrggghhhh... (tapi kenyataannya sih, kita dapet sih sekitar 20 - 30 menit istirahat habis tiap kuliah). Tetapi itu bukanlah alasan kenapa Sabtu itu berat, jam 7 pagi ADALAH ALASANNYA... :( :( :(
Trus, khusus untuk hari ini, habis kuliah, kita harus meeting dulu tentang BTS, sebuah majalah intra-matematika. Besok Januari, angkatanku (2006) kan yang (harus) akan mengambil tanggung-jawab untuk menjadi redaksi resmi dari majalah ini. Makanya, redaksi sebelumnya (angkatan 2005) kan mau "mempersiapkan" kita dahulu sebelum mengambil pekerjaan itu, jadi saat waktunya tiba ntar, kita (harapannya sih) nggak akan menemui kesulitan. Habis meeting itu, aku dapet 2 kerjaan deh. Pertama, untuk mencari cerita inspirasional (yang aku curi dari sini; THX banget untuk Om Upar...... :D). Kedua, untuk mewawancarai seorang senior tentang Math Club. Kesemuanya harus sudah selesai besok Senin.
Trus, hariku belum selesai loh. Aku masih harus menyelesaikan PR Statistika Elementer saya. Arrrggghhh..... . Habis menyelesaikannya selama sekitar 1,5 jam, pada akhirnya aku bisa istirahat deh.... :D Dua hari yang lalu, aku juga harus menyelesaikan PR Kalkulus 1 sayam aku hampir aja menyerah pada pertanyaan ketiga, tapi dengan usaha yang keras (wakzzz.... :P) aku bisa memecahkan masalahnya... :P. Ternyata untuk minggu depan ada banyak PR (dan juga kuis) nih. ARRRGGGHHHH........
Btw, kemarin akhirnya aku mendapatkan nilai terakhir UTSku yang belum dibagi. Aku dapet 97 untuk Bahasa Inggris dan 90 untuk Praktikum Statistika Elementer. Keduanya adalah nilai tertinggi di kelas saya, he3... :D
ENGLISHI just feel right now I really want to write something at this blog, but the problem is that I dunno what to write since my days recently were such ordinary days, nothing really special happened. Hmm... . But I've just got an idea, I'll write about The Amazing Race, one of my most fave TV program nowadays.How could I find this program?? Honestly, it was incidental. Some weeks ago, when I watched TV but didn't really know what to watch (that's weird, isn't it?) and just hopping from one channel to another, finally I "landed" at AXN which its program at that time was: "The Amazing Race 10". Hmm, I thought: "It seems to be an interesting show. Okay, I'll watch it". And in the end my thought IS correct!! It IS an interesting TV Show. Unfortunately, I didn't watch the first 2 episodes which took place at China and Mongolia. I started to watch episode 3 at Vietnam (wow, each episode they travelled from one country to another, very very interesting thing to do despite the exhausting race and language problem.... :D). This week is the 7th episode which took place at Mauritius (grab your map and find where that is!! :P). Well, David and Mary were such fortunate couple, they were the latest team to arrive at the pitstop twice, BUT both race where they were the bottom team were not elimination races... . Wow, whatta luck!! Hmm, and personally, who do I support?? Well, I support some underdog teams (David and Mary, Lyn and Karlyn, and Erwin and Godwin), since it's a pleasant to see underdog team wins in the end of the race.... :P We'll see next week....Well, next week (9th November 2006), AXN will also start The Amazing Race Asia. I can't wait to watch, hopefully it's gonnabe an interesting program too... :).
::: Season 10's contestantsBAHASA INDONESIAAku koq ngerasa kalo sekarang ini aku mau nulis sesuatu di blog ini, tapi masalahnya koq aku nggak tau apa yang mau aku tulis ya?? Soalnya hari-hari saya belakangan ini tuh hari-hari yang biasa-biasa saja dan nggak ada yang spesial terjadi. Hmm... . Tapi aku baru aja dapet sebuah ide, aku mau nulis tentang The Amazing Race ah, salah satu acara TV paling aku favorit-in belakangan ini. Bagaimana aku bisa menemukan program ini?? Jujur nih, itu juga cuma kebetulan loh. Beberapa minggu yang lalu, waktu aku lagi nonton TV tapi nggak tau apa yang mau ditonton (aneh kan??) aku kan cuma melompat-lompat dari satu channel ke channel yang lainnya, dan akhirnya "mendarat" di AXN yang acaranya pada waktu itu adalah :"The Amazing Race 10". Hmm, aku berpikir: "Kayaknya acara yang menarik nih. Aku tonton aja ah...". Dan pada akhirnya perkiraanku benar!! Itu adalah acara yang menarik loh. Sayangnya, aku nggak nonton 2 episode pertama yang mengambil tempat di China dan Mongolia. Aku mulai nonton episode 3 di Vietnam (wow, tiap episode mereka jalan-jalan dari satu negara ke negara lain, kayaknya sangat menarik yang untuk dilakukan tanpa memperhatikan kompetisinya dan kendala bahasa.... :D). Minggu ini adalah episode ke-7 yang mengambil tempat di Mauritius (ambil deh peta Anda dan cari dimanakah negara ini berada!! :P). Hmm, David dan Mary bener-bener pasangan yang beruntung loh, mereka adalah tim yang sampe di pitstop paling terakhir, TETAPI kedua pertandingan dimana mereka ada di paling belakang bukanlah babak eliminasi... . Wow, bener-bener keberuntungan yah!! Hmm, dan secara pribadi nih, siapa yang aku dukung?? Aku mendukung beberapa tim underdog aja ah (David dan Mary, Lyn dan Karlyn, dan Erwin dan Godwin), soalnya kan seneng juga melihat tim underdog pada akhirnya memenangkan pertandingan.... :P Kita lihat deh minggu depan....Ngomong-ngomong, minggu depan (9 November 2006), AXN juga akan memulai menayangkan The Amazing Race Asia loh. Aku dah mau nonton nih, moga2 menjadi acara yang menarik juga... :).
ENGLISHAs you can read here, last Sunday (29/10/2006) I went back to Bandung driving my new car with my parents and my cousin. Last Monday, I had just my ordinary Monday where I had lectures from 7 AM until 3 PM in the afternoon.At about 1.30 PM, I got an sms from an unknown number (which later I found out whose number that is) telling me about a phone number of a mechanic . At first I just thought that was just a mis-sent sms. At 3 PM, when I went back to my boarding house (my parents had just been waiting there for couple of minutes) my mom told me that my new car (driven by my cousin) earlier that day was struck by a motorbike. Unfortunately, that was NOT the biker's fault, that was my cousin's. He wanted to turn around but didn't look at the right spion and also didn't turn on the right lamp. As a result, well, I hope you can imagine it yourself..... :( Therefore, yesterday morning I had to bring my car to that mechanic and the repairment takes 1 week time which means until next Tuesday (next week), I can't drive my car and will still live my ordinary life before going back to Jogjakarta last week which honestly I didn't expect to happen. Yesterday afternoon, my friend and I went to BCA (he took his money from the ATM and I did mutation on my account just to check it correct) and after that went to Paris van Java Mall. There, we had lunch at KFC and after that had drinks at a stand there for FREE >> we drank juice and coffee. As you can read at this entry, I also got FREE drinks, and guess what?? Yesterday we had the same FREE drinks from the same shop!! :) That's apparently not a promotional event, but we (my parents, their friends, and I) use(d) one of their friends name who bought so many products from that shop and as an "additional rewards", we can have drinks at that shop all over Indonesia for FREE >> if I don't misinterpret it, that reward is everlasting, he3..... :) Then, we went back home.
-- Quick Update --
This morning finally I got my Religiocity Education UTS Result where I got 83. Pretty good I think since the highest mark in my class is 85 and the lowest is 65.... :)
BAHASA INDONESIASeperti yang bisa dibaca disini, kemarin Minggu (29/10/2006) aku balik ke Bandung mengendarai mobil baruku bersama orangtuaku sama koko sepupuku. Senin kemarin, aku menjalani hari Senin-ku yang biasa dimana aku ada kuliah dari jam 7 sampe jam 3 sore. Sekitar jam 1.30 siang, aku dapet sebuah sms dari sebuah nomor tak dikenal (yang pada akhirnya aku tahu itu nomernya siapa) ngomong ke aku tentang sebuah nomor telepon dari sebuah bengkel. Pertamanya aku ya ngira kalo sms itu cuma sms yang salah sambung. Jam 3 sore, ketika aku balik ke kosku (orangtuaku dah nunggu di kosku selama beberapa menit) mamaku ngomong ke aku kalo paginya hari itu, mobil baruku (yang disetir sama kokoku) ditabrak sama sebuah motor. Malangnya lagi, kecelakaan itu bukan kesalahan pengendara motornya, tapi kesalahan kokoku. Dia mau puter balik ke kanan tapi nggak lihat kaca spion dan nggak nyalain lampu riting kanan. Sebaga hasilnya, hmmm, moga2 bisa dibayangin sendiri lah..... :( Makanya kemarin pagi aku harus membawa mobilku itu ke bengkel dan perbaikannya memakan waktu seminggu yang berarti selama seminggu ini sampe Selasa depan, aku nggak bisa naik mobilku dan akan menjalani kehidupanku seperti sebelum balik ke Jogjakarta minggu lalu yang sejujurnya nggak aku harapkan untuk terjadi.Siang kemarin, temenku sama aku pergi ke BCA (dia mau ngambil uangnya dari ATM dan aku kan melakukan penyesuaian atas rekeningku untuk ngecek) dan habis itu pergi ke Mall Paris van Java. Disana, kita makan siang di KFC dan habis itu minum di sebuah stand disana GRATIS >> kita minum jus sama kopi. Seperti yang bisa dibaca di postingan ini, aku juga mendapatkan minuman GRATIS dan tebak gimana?? Kemarin kita juga mendapatkan tuh minuman yang GRATIS dari toko yang sama!! :) Ternyata itu bukan even promosi loh, jadi kita (orangtuaku, temen mereka, dan saya) menggunakan nama salah satu temen mereka yang beli banyak sekali produk dari tuh toko, dan sebagai "hadiah tambahannya", kita bisa minum di toko itu di seluruh cabang di Indonesia GRATIS >> kalo aku nggak salah tangkep nih, kayanya hadiah ini berlaku selama-lamanya loh, he3..... :) Trus kita balik ke kos deh.
-- Apdet Cepet --
Pagi ini akhirnya aku dapet nilai UTS Pendidikan Agamaku dimana aku dapet nilai 83. Lumayan bagus sih menurutku soalnya nilai tertinggi di kelasku kan 85 dan nilai terendahnya 65.... :)
