#339 - Phiuhh!!!

ENGLISH

Finally today is Saturday!! The end of this hell week!! At least I can feel relieved a bit after those things I passed this week and forget the fact that next Monday, final examination of this semester starts with second calculus. Well, I must do well on all upcoming exams, he3... :)

Btw, these last 3 days I visited Unpar's Open House at GSG and played some games in my department's stand, he3... :D And this afternoon, when I was there, there was a talk show and the guest was one Unpar's alumni, and now is famous as a news-reader (anchor), Chantal Della Concetta. Apparently, starting next Monday we won't be able to see her at Metro TV since starting next Monday, she works at RCTI. Well, FYI she's pretty, he3... :D

Hmm, I guess lately I like uploading the pic of my hand-made meal, lol (narcist). Last nite I made my own creation of instant fried noodle (it's just an ordinary instant fried noodle actually, he3... :D). Beside the noodle, I also put ham, scrambled egg, and 'abon' (beef floss). There's a pic of it below.... :D

O yea, btw, last month I created one new private blog, and I'll write everything which is more private there. Just like its name, it's PRIVATE. So, only invited people can access. If you're interested, please leave ur email so I can invite you, he3... :D Don't worry, I'll keep writing here and no need to change any link here. When there's one new entry there, I'll put the link here... :D

Hhhh, happy weekend everyone!! :)

BAHASA INDONESIA

Akhirnya ini Sabtu!! Akhir dari minggu neraka ini!! Paling ga aku bisa merasa sedkit lega lah sedikit habis semua hal yang aku lalui minggu ini dan melupakan fakta bahwa Senin besok, ujian akhir semester ini akan dimulai dengan Kalkulus Dua. Hmm, aku harus dapet nilai bagus nih di semua ujian yang akan datang, he3... :)

Btw, 3 hari terakhir ini aku selalu dateng di acara Open House-nya Unpar di GSG dan main game di stand-nya jurusanku, he3... :D Dan siang tadi, waktu aku disana, ada talk-show kan, nah bintang tamunya tu alumni Unpar, dan sekarang terkenal sebagai pembaca berita (anchor), Chantal Della Concetta. Ternyata, mulai Senin depan kita ga akan melihat dia di Metro TV soale mulai Senin besok ini, dia kerja di RCTI. Hmm, dia cakep loh, he3... :D

Hmm, aku rasa akhir2 ini aku jadi suka ya ngupload foto makanan buatan sendiri, lol (narsis). Semalem aku bikin mie goreng instan kreasi saya (sebenere cuma mi goreng biasa sih, he3... :D). Di samping mie, aku juga kasi ham, telor dadar, sama abon. Ada gambarnya tu di atas.... :D

O ya, btw, bulan lalu aku ngebikin satu blog private baru, dan aku akan nulis segala hal yang lebih privat (pribadi) disana. Seperti namanya kan, PRIVATE (PRIBADI). Makanya, cuma orang yang diundang aja yang bisa ngakses. Nah, kalo tertarik, tinggalkan email-nya ya, jadi kan bisa aku undang, he3... :D Ntar aku bakalan tetep nulis disini koq, dan ga perlu mengubah link ke blog-ku, soale tiap ada entry baru disana, aku akan tulis link-nya disini... :D

Hhhh, met wiken semuanya!! :)

#338 - Thursday!!

ENGLISH

Well, finally this was Thursday!! Today I had 2 assignments to submit. One of them was finished last night, and the other one was (luckily) done this morning. Just if my friend didn't send an email to me, on the latter assignment, I must have been dead... :(

Arrrggghhh, tomorrow I'm gonna have a quiz and 2 homeworks to submit!! Arrrggghhhh... . Why should the last week before UAS always be like this?? A full of homework and quiz week!! :(

Btw, lately every evening, I cooked sandwich, he3... :) Well, I don't put any vegies in my sandwich (wakakakakaka) but put cheese, ham, and scrambled egg in it. I have one pic of it, below.

Watching American Idol this week, each contestant sang 2 Bee Gees' songs, and my review:

IDOLS-01 : Melinda Doolittle
- First Song: Love You Inside Out (score: 8)
- Second Song: How to Mend a Broken Heart (score: 9.5)
Average: 8.75

IDOLS-02 : Blake Lewis
- First Song: You Should Be Dancing (score: 7.75)
- Second Song: This Is where I came in (score: 7.5)
Average: 7.63

IDOLS-03 : LaKisha Jones
- First Song: Staying Alive (score: 7.75)
- Second Song: Ran To Me (score: 8.25)
Average: 8

IDOLS-04 : Jordin Sparks
- First Song : To Love Somebody (score: 9)
- Second Song : Woman in Love (score: 8.25)
Average: 8.63

So, my bottom two:
3. LaKisha Jones
4. Blake Lewis

The Real Bottom two: LaKisha Jones and Blake Lewis.

Eliminated: LaKisha Jones

Hmm, no surprise, since Blake is the only white guy left and LaKisha didn't show us any great performance as her "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going" on the top 24 round. Next week is the top three. Well, I guess Jordin or Blake will get voted off. Melinda is gonnabe in the finale I think, he3... :)

Btw, tonight at 9 PM, Star World is gonna air The Apprentice!! YAAAYYY... :)

::: My own-made sandwich

::: Bottom Two this week

BAHASA INDONESIA

Hhh, akhirnya ini Kamis!! Hari ini aku ada 2 tugas yang harus dikumpulin. Salah satunya udah selese kemarin malem, dan yang satu baru selese pagi tadi (untungnya). Klo temenku ga ngirim email ke aku, wah, di tugas yang kedua aku udah mati tuh... :(

Arrrggghhh, besok aku akan ada kuis dan 2 PR yang harus dikumpulin!! Arrrggghhhh... . Kenapa sih seminggu sebelum UAS selalu kaya gini?? Minggu yang penuh dengan pe-er dan kuis!! :(

Btw, akhir2 ini tiap malam, aku bikin sandwich loh, he3... :) Hmm, aku ga masukin satu pun sayuran (wakakakakaka) tapi masukin keju, ham, dan telor dadar di dalamnya. Ada tu gambarnya di atas.

Nonton American Idol minggu ini, tiap kontestan nyanyiin 2 lagunya Bee Gees, dan review saya:

IDOLS-01 : Melinda Doolittle
- Lagu Pertama: Love You Inside Out (score: 8)
- Lagu Kedua: How to Mend a Broken Heart (score: 9.5)
Rata-rata: 8.75

IDOLS-02 : Blake Lewis
- Lagu Pertama: You Should Be Dancing (score: 7.75)
- Lagu Kedua: This Is where I came in (score: 7.5)
Rata-rata: 7.63

IDOLS-03 : LaKisha Jones
- Lagu Pertama: Staying Alive (score: 7.75)
- Lagu Kedua: Ran To Me (score: 8.25)
Rata-rata: 8

IDOLS-04 : Jordin Sparks
- Lagu Pertama : To Love Somebody (score: 9)
- Lagu Kedua : Woman in Love (score: 8.25)
Rata-rata: 8.63

Jadi, dua terbawah saya:
3. LaKisha Jones
4. Blake Lewis

Dua Terbawah yang sebenarnya: LaKisha Jones dan Blake Lewis.

Tereliminasi: LaKisha Jones

Hmm, ga kaget si, soale Blake kan satu-satunya laki-laki bule yang tersisa dan LaKisha nggak menunjukkan penampilan sebagus "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going"-nya yang kaya di babak 24 besar itu. Minggu depan 3 besar. Aku tebak sih Jordin atau Blake yang akan tereliminasi. Melinda sih menurutku bakalan masuk 2 besar lah, he3... :)

Btw, ntar malem jam 9, Star World akan nayangin The Apprentice loh!! YAAAYYY... :)

#337 - TAR 11 Finale

ENGLISH

Last night, the finale episode of The Amazing Race 11 was aired.

All three teams had to leave Guam to Honolulu, Hawaii. They all had to make flights to Tokyo first then continued their journey to Honolulu. In Guam, all of them booked the same flight. Once they arrived at Tokyo, Charla&Mirna were genius by finding another flight which was apparently earlier 40 minutes than flight they had reserved before. So, Charla and Mirna had the lead against Eric&Danielle and Dustin and Kandice rite now!! :) One they arrived at Honolulu, they had to take a charter helicopter to fly to Lanai which left 10 minutes apart. Predictably, Charla&Mirna got the first heli. After that they had to do a Detour Task and chose between "Under" or "Over". Charla and Mirna took Over where they had to paddle a surfing board (where Charla excelled at this task due to her handicap (handicap is not always bad, lol)). Dustin&Kandice and Eric and Danielle took "Under" where they had to swim to get the clues under the buoy. Then, they had to make their way to a shipwrecked and sail to a buoy against the wave to get the next clue. This is a 100% physical task. Even thought Charla&Mirna got the lead, Eric and Danielle and Dustin&Kandice could pass them. Eric and Danielle finished this task first, followed by Dustin&Kandice, and Charla and Mirna last. Then, they had to fly to the final destination, San Fransisco.

Btw, there was an unaired Road-Block which involved jumping off the cliff to the seashore in Hawaii.

Even though Eric&Danielle got the lead, they were all equalized again on the flight. Once they arrived at San Fransisco, they all went to SF Mill where they had to do their final task. One team member would answer 4 questions about what they thought about the other teams. After that he/she would get a 4-digit code which they should enter to the safebox. The team-mate then had to answer that 4 questions they thought the other team-mate had answered before. If they got it correct, the safebox would open and they could take the final clue. Otherwise, after 10 minutes, the guard would call them and hand them the last clue. Well, only Eric&Danielle got it correct. As a result, Eric&Danielle won The Amazing Race!! All eliminated teams (John Vito and Jill, Kevin and Drew, David and Mary, Rob&Amber, Teri and Ian, Joe and Bill, Uchenna and Joyce, and Oswald&Danny) waited for them on the finish line... :) Dustin and Kandice came second followed by Charla and Mirna.

Btw, Eric and Danielle really got through hell during the whole race. They got yielded TWICE, marked for elimination once, got bad luck on several flights (including got kicked off from a plane), and never won a single leg before!! But in the end, they won the 1 million dollar!! Hmmm.... . Either Charla&Mirna and Dustin and Kandice had won several legs before (2 and 4 respectively). On their original season, Eric (partenered with Jeremy) dominated the race but finished second on the final leg while Danielle (partnered with Dani) ended on #8. Dustin and Kandice played role as a villain on TAR 10 and finished #4. Charla and Mirna allied with Linda&Karen and confronted with Colin and Christie (team who won the MOST leg in one race so far which I hope would have joined TAR All-Stars but didn't since Christie was pregnant) on TAR5 finished #6.

Well, my most fave team on TAR All-Stars is Charla&Mirna, he3... :) Danny was right, they were class-act!! :)

Btw, my review could be read here at FS


::: Eric&Danielle ran to the final mat

::: Eric&Danielle won the race

::: Dustin&Kandice arrived second

::: Charla&Mirna arrived third


BAHASA INDONESIA

Semalem episode terakhir dari The Amazing Race 11 ditayangin.

Semua tiga tim meninggalkan Guam ke Honolulu, Hawaii. Mereka semua naik pesawat dulu ke Tokyo trus melanjutkan perjalanan ke Honolulu. Di Guam, mereka semua memesan penerbangan yang sama. Begitu mereka sampai di Tokyo, Charla and Mirna jenius banget dengan menemukan penerbangan lain yang ternyata lebih dulu 40 menit dari penerbangan yang sudah mereka pesen. Jadi, Charla&Mirna memimpin deh sementara di depan Eric and Danielle dan Dustin&Kandice saat ini!! :) Begitu mereka sampai di Honolulu, mereka harus naik helikopter pesanan untuk terbang ke Lanai yang berangkat terpisah 10 menit. Seperti yang sudah ditebak, Charla&Mirna aik heli yang pertama. Trus, mereka mesti melakukan Detour dan memilih di antara "Under" atau "Over". Charla&Mirna ngambil Over dimana mereka harus mengayuh papan selancar (Charla melakukan tugas dengan hebat karena kekurangannya (kekurangan ga selalu jelek ternyata, lol)). Dustin and Kandice dan Eric&Danielle ngambil tugas "Under" dimana mereka harus berenang untuk ngambil petunjuk di bawah pelampung. Trus mereka mesti pergi ke kapal yang terdampar dan mengayuh melawan ombak ke pelampung untuk mendapatkan petunjuk. Tugas ini 100% tugas fisik. Walaupun Charla and Mirna memimpin, Eric&Danielle dan Dustin and Kandice bisa menyalip mereka. Eric&Danielle selesai duluan, diikuti oleh Dustin and Kandice, dan Charla&Mirna terakhir. Trus mereka mesti pergi ke tujuan akhir, San Fransisco.

Btw, ternyata ada Road-Block yang ga ditayangin tuh yang mengikutsertakan melompat dari tebing ke laut di Hawaii.

Walau Eric and Danielle memimpin, mereka semua seimbang lagi di penerbangan. Begitu sampai di San Fransisco, mereka semua pergi ke SF Mill dimana mereka akan melakukan tugas akhir. Satu anggota tim harus menjawab 4 pertanyaan mengenai apa yang mereka pikirkan tennag tim lain. Habis itu dia akan mendapat 4 kote digit yang mereka masukkan ke brankas. Trus rekannya akan menjawab 4 pertanyaan yang mereka pikir pasangan mereka jawab. Kalo bener, brankasnya akan kebuka dan mereka bisa ngambil petunjuk terakhir. Kalo engga, habis 10 menit petugasnya akan manggil mereka dan ngasi petunjuk akhirnya. Hmm, cuma Eric&Danielle yang benar menjawab. Sebagai hasilnya, ya Eric and Danielle yang menang The Amazing Race!! Semua tim yang udah dieliminasi (John Vito and Jill, Kevin and Drew, David&Mary, Rob and Amber, Teri and Ian, Joe and Bill, Uchenna&Joyce, dan Oswald and Danny) menunggu mereka di garis finish... :) Dustin and Kandice sampai kedua diikuti Charla and Mirna.

Btw, Eric&Danielle memang bener-bener melewati neraka sih sepanjang pertandingan. Mereka di-yield DUA KALI, ditandai eliminasi sekali, bernasib buruk di beberapa penerbangan (termasuk dikeluarkan dari sebuah pesawat), dan nggak pernah memenangkan satu pun babak sebelumnya!! Tapi akhirnya, mereka yang menang 1 juta dolar!! Hmmm... . Semua Charla and Mirna mapun Dustin and Kandice udah memenangkan beberapa babak sebelumnya (2 dan 4 berurutan). Di musim awalnya, Eric (partner sama Jeremy) mendominasi pertandingan tapi selesai kedua di babak akhirnya sementara Danielle (partner sama Dani) tereliminasi di posisi #8. Dustin and Kandice berperan sebagai orang jahat di TAR 10 dan selesai #4. Charla&Mirna beraliansi dengan Linda and Karen dan berkonfrontasi dengan Colin and Christie (team yang menang PALING BANYAK babak dalam satu pertandingan sejauh ini dan aku harap bakalan ikutan TAR All-Stars tapi enggak gara-gara Christie hamil) di TAR5 dan selesai #6.

Hmm, tim paling favorit saya adalah Charla and Mirna, he3... :) Bener katanya Danny, mereka benar-benar "berkualitas"!! :)

Btw, review-ku bisa dibaca disini di FS

#336 - Weekend and Upcoming Week

ENGLISH

Finally I really could enjoy this (last) weekend. Why 'last'?? Well, starting Monday 14th, I'm gonna have my final examination (UAS) this semester... :( Arrrrgggghhhhh.... .

I spent these 2 days of weekend by indulging myself (taking a nap, watching tv, surfing the net, etc), he3... :) This afternoon my friends and I went to Paris van Java again. Well, that mall was damn so crowded on weekend. I spent over 30 minutes just to find an empty space to park my car... :(

Huh, why should always the last week before examinations be full and busy for me just like the week before mid-term this semester?? :( There are so many assignments and homeworks to finish and 2 quiz. Also one lecturer asked us (class of 2006) to be on the math stand of Unpar Open-House next Thursday - Saturday. Well, we don't have to be there all 3 days long though, we can choose a fit time-slot with our schedule and mood, he3... :) Arrrggghhh, no more free-day for 3 weeks!! :(

BAHASA INDONESIA

Akhirnya aku bisa menikmati akhir minggu (yang terakhir) ini. Kenapa 'yang terakhir'?? Hmm, soale mulai Senin tanggal 14, aku kan udah harus menghadapi Ujian Akhir (UAS) Semester ini... :( Arrrrgggghhhhh.... .

Aku menghabiskan 2 hari di weekend ini dengan memanjakan diri saya (tidur siang, nonton tv, internetan, dll), he3... :) Siang tadi aku sama temen2ku pergi ke Paris van Java lagi. Hmm, mall-nya rame buanget loh pas akhir minggu. Aku menghabiskan waktu lebih dari 30 menit cuma buat nemuin sebuah tempat kosong buat parkir mobil... :(

Huh, kenapa sih minggu terakhir sebelum ujian harus penuh dan sibuk buat saya seperti minggu sebelum UTS semester ini?? :( Ada banyak banget tugas dan pe-er, dan juga ada 2 kuis. Juga, satu dosen minta kita (angkatan 2006) buat jaga di konter mat di Open-House Unpar besok Kamis - Sabtu. Hmm, kita ga harus jaga 3 hari berturut-turut sih, tapi bisa milih time-slot yang cocok sama jadwal dan mood kita, he3... :) Arrrggghhh, ga akan ada hari libur untuk 3 minggu!! :(

#335 - Finally and AI!!

ENGLISH

Finally tomorrow is Saturday, I mean, the FIRST REAL Saturday since UTS (or Easter Holiday). Three and Two weeks ago there were extra-classes and last week I had to go to the auto workshop which made my Saturdays were not really 'Saturday' which was supposed to be my free-day, he3... :) :) :)

Btw, this week has also been a pretty full week (even though I doubt this week is busier for me than the upcoming week). On Tuesday, I had to collect my assignment at 7 AM in the morning, no late even a minute... :( Wednesday, well, that was the only joyful day, he3... :) Thursday, I had 2 homeworks to submit. And this morning, I had a macro economy quiz!! I think I did pretty well though, even next week there's gonnabe another quiz of it... :(

Btw, watching American Idol this week. My review:

IDOLS-01: Phil Stacey (7.5) >> I dunno if it's kinda subjective but I don't think that performance was great. That was good, but over-rated to be classified as 'great'.

IDOLS-02: Jordin Sparks (7.5) >> Her worst so far. That was not great. But that's okay, just like she said, everyone needs to have their own bad week, in this week was hers.

IDOLS-03: LaKisha Jones (9.5) >> Finally she's back after three weeks!! That was one of her best performance (even though I think her "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going" is still better)

IDOLS-04: Blake Lewis (9.5) >> Another great performance!! That was so so so original and risky, but he nailed it!! :)

IDOLS-05: Chris Richardson (7.5) >> That was good, but not great

IDOLS-06: Melinda Doolittle (9) >> Just as usual, a great vocal performance

So, combined with the previous performance, the average score:
- Phil Stacey (7.25)
- Jordin Sparks (8.13)
- LaKisha Jones (8.88)
- Blake Lewis (8.88)
- Chris Richardson (7.75)
- Melinda Doolittle (9.25)

So, still the same as my pick last week about who were two people who should go home this week, I think they are Phil Stacey and Chris Richardson.

Apparently, America (and also world) agreed with me. Phil Stacey and Chris Richardson were eliminated this week!! Yaaayyy.... :) Now all the four remaining finalists are great and I dunno who should go next. It's gonnabe depend on their next performances... :)

::: Phil Stacey and Chris R, two contestants who got eliminated this week.

BAHASA INDONESIA

Akhirnya besok adalah Sabtu, maksudku, PERTAMA KALINYA BENAR-BENAR Sabtu sejak UTS (ato habis Liburan Paskah sih). Tiga dan Dua minggu yang lalu aku ada kelas tambahan dan minggu lalu aku mesti pergi ke bengkel yang membuat Sabtu-Sabtuku nggak begitu 'Sabtu' yang seharusnya hari libur saya, he3... :) :) :)

Btw, minggu ini juga minggu yang lumayan penuh buat aku (walau aku ragu kalo minggu ini lebih sibuk daripada minggu yang akan datang). Hari Selasa, aku harus ngumpulin tugas jam 7 pagi, ga boleh telat bahkan cuma semenit... :( Rabu, hmm, kemarin emang hari yang menyenangkan sih, he3... :) Sabtu, aku ada 2 tugas harus dikumpulin. Dan pagi ini, aku ada kuis ekonomi makro!! Aku rasa aku ngerjain dengan baik sih walau minggu depan akan ada kuis lagi... :(

Btw, nonton American Idol minggu ini. Review saya:

IDOLS-01: Phil Stacey (7,5) >> gatau kalo agak subjektif, cuma menurutku penampilannya nggak hebat deh. Bagus sih, tapi ya terlalu dilebih-lebihkan kalo dibilang 'hebat'

IDOLS-02: Jordin Sparks (7,5) >> Minggu terjeleknya dia. Nggak hebat sama sekali. Oke sih, tapi seperti katanya, setiap orang perlu punya minggu buruknya, dan minggu ini adalah minggu buruknya

IDOLS-03: LaKisha Jones (9,5) >> Akhirnya dia kembali setelah tiga minggu!! Penampilannya adalah salah satu yang terbaik darinya (walau aku kira penampilan "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going"nya masih lebih keren sih)

IDOLS-04: Blake Lewis (9,5) >> Penampilan yang hebat lagi tuh!! Bener-bener bener-bener original sekali dan berisiko, tapi dia berhasil!! :)

IDOLS-05: Chris Richardson (7,5) >> Bagus sih, tapi gak hebat

IDOLS-06: Melinda Doolittle (9) >> Seperti biasa, penampilan vokal yang hebat

Jadi, digabung dengan penampilan sebelumnya, nilai rata-ratanya:
- Phil Stacey (7,25)
- Jordin Sparks (8,13)
- LaKisha Jones (8,88)
- Blake Lewis (8,88)
- Chris Richardson (7,75)
- Melinda Doolittle (9,25)

Jadi, masih sama kaya pilihanku minggu lalu tentang siapa dua orang yang harus pulang minggu ini, aku rasa mereka adalah Phil Stacey dan Chris Richardson.

Ternyata, Amerika (dan juga dunia) setuju sama saya. Phil Stacey dan Chris Richardson tereliminasi minggu ini!! Yaaayyy... :) Skarang semua 4 kontestan yang tersisa benar-benar hebat dan aku gatau sapa yang harus pulang berikutnya. Semuanya tergantung pada penampilan mereka minggu depan... :)

#334 - Wed Story (Spiderman 3)

ENGLISH

Last week, my calculus lecturer said there would be no class for this day since he is going to Yogyakarta (hohoho, my hometown). So, after the first lecture this morning over, we were free, he3... :) At first, my "Kewarganegaraan" lecturer said that we should attend a seminar at my campus which was started at 10 AM. Since at 10 AM we had lecture, we were late and my lecture said that was okay since twas an open seminar. Apparently, we weren't allowed to enter the room because we were late.

Okay, so my friends and I decided to go to CiWalk to watch a new movie released this month which has been waited for by millions of people in this world, SPIDERMAN 3!! Well, before going there, we did a research first on the internet about the theaters playing this movie (XXI at CiWalk) so we wouldn't be disappointed by the time we got there (the film wasn't played or all seats were fully booked). Apparently, all 4 studios of that theater played Spiderman 3!! Wow.... . So, no reason for those worries. We went there

There were 2 good playing-hours for us, 13.40 or 14.10. First, we looked at the 13.40 , and it was nearly fully booked!! The only empty seats were so close to the screen (the first 3 rows). Okay, so we switched our option to 14.10 where only some seats (at that time / 12.15 PM) had been booked. So, we still had almost 2 hours before the movie was played. We went downstairs and bought ice-cream and played sudoku, he3... :)

Finally, it was 14.10 when the movie started. We watched it, he3... :) Dun worry, there's no synopsis I'm gonna write here, he3... :) My review:

Well, I think (by mile) it was the best movie I have ever seen (on cinema) this year, I score it 8.5 out of 10. There were so many lines (compared to the 2 previous Spiderman movies) but I'm okay with that. However, on some parts of the movie, I yawned and felt a bit bored. The good thing is that I think this movie owned many "grab-the-attention" aspects for a wide range of people. There were drama (super sensitive people could tear... lol), action (of course), and also comedy. Therefore, so many people would love it. The bad consequence was that it could make some people feel bored when the scene was not "in" to their 'taste' (just like what happened to me... :D). Overall, I think this movie was great (not only "good", it was great!!) and I recommend you guys to watch it, he3... :)


Btw, I think this film is gonna meet its "rival" this month, Pirates of Caribbean 3 which is gonnabe premiered in 2 weeks... :) I'm waiting for it!! :) :)

Well, after that, we had dinner at a Milan Pizza Restaurant near Ciwalk, then we went back home.

I haven't watched American Idol yet, but this morning I voted for some contestants: LaKisha (5), Melinda (1), Jordin (1) and Phil (1). My vote for Phil was an ACCIDENT!! I didn't wanna vote for him but wrong info I got caused me voting for him... :( I tried to vote for Blake millions of time but none of them was in, the numbers were all busy... :(


::: Peter Parker a.k.a Spiderman (Tobey Maguire) in black suit


Mary Jane a.k.a MJ (Kirsten Dunst) and Peter Parker on Spiderman 3.


BAHASA INDONESIA

Minggu lalu, dosen kalkulus saya bilang ga akan ada kelas buat hari ini soale dia mau pergi ke Yogyakarta (hohoho, kota asal saya tuh). Jadi, habis kuliah pertama pagi tadi, kita bebash deh, he3... :) Pertamanya sih dosen Kewarganegaraanku nyuruh kita hadir ke seminar yang dimulai jam 10. Tapi kan jam 10 kita ada kuliah, jadi kita bakalan telat, dan dosenku bilang ga masalah soale kan seminar terbuka. Ternyata, kita ga diijinin masuk soale telat.

Okay, jadi temen-temenku dan aku memutuskan untuk pergi ke CiWalk untuk nonton sebuah film baru yang dirilis bulan ini yang sudah ditunggu oleh jutaan orang di seluruh dunia, SPIDERMAN 3!! Hmm, sebelum kesana, kita research dulu dong di internet tentang bioskop yang mainin film ini (XXI di CiWalk) jadi kita ga akan kecewa kalo waktu kita sampai kesana (ternyata filmnya ga dimainin ato kursinya udah dipesen habis). Ternyata, semua 4 studionya mainin Spiderman 3!! Wow.... . Ya dah deh, ga ada alasan kan buat kekhawatiran tersebut. Kita pergi deh.

Ada 2 jam main yang cocok buat kita, jam 13.40 ato jam 14.10. Pertama, kita liat yang jam 13.40 dulu, ternyata udah hampir dipesen semua loh kursinya!! Kursi kosong cuma tersisa di depan yang deket sama layar (3 baris pertama). Oke deh, kita akhirnya milih yang jam 14.10 soale baru beberapa kursi aja (waktu itu / 12.15 siang) yang udah dibeli. Jadi, masih ada 2 jam deh sebelum filmnya main. Kita turun, makan es krim dan main sudoku dulu deh, he3... :)

Akhirnya, jam 14.10 tiba juga, filmnya mulai. Kita nonton deh, he3... :) Tenang aja, ga bakalan aku tulis sinopsis koq disini, he3... :) Review saya:

Hmm, menurutku (sejauh ini loh), film ini adalah yang terbaik dari semua film yang aku tonton (di bioskop) sepanjang tahun ini, aku nilai 8,5 deh dari 10. Ada banyak dialognya sih (dibandingin sama 2 film Spiderman sebelumnya) tapi aku sih nggak masalah aja. Namun, pada beberapa bagian film, aku menguap dan merasa sedikit bosan. Hal bagusnya adalah aku rasa film ini memiliki banyak aspek "tarik-perhatian" untuk banyak sekali orang. Ada drama (orang yang
super sensitif bisa nangis tu... lol), action (tentu saja), dan juga komedi. Makanya, banyak orang akan merasa bosan saat adegannya nggak "pas" sama 'selera'nya (seperti yang terjadi pada saya... :D). Secara keseluruhan, aku rasa film ini buagus banget (nggak cuma "bagus", bagus banget!!) dan aku nyaranin untuk nonton nih film deh, he3... :)

Btw, aku rasa film ini akan menemui "rival"nya bulan ini, Pirates of Caribbean 3 yang akan dirilis 2 minggu lagi... :) Aku menunggunya!! :) :)

Hmm, habis itu kita makan malem di sebuah restoran Pizza Milan deh deketnya Ciwalk, trus balik.

Aku blon nonton American Idol nih, tapi pagi ini aku sempet sih vote buat beberapa kontestan: LaKisha (5), Melinda (1), Jordin (1) dan Phil (1). Votingku buat Phil adalah KECELAKAAN!! Aku gamau la vote buat dia tapi informasi yang salah menyebabkan saya vote buat dia... :( Aku udah nyoba vote buat Blake berjuta-juta kali tapi ga ada yang masuk, semua nomernya sibuk... :(

#333 - TAR Top 4 and Upcoming Shows

ENGLISH

On the newest episode of TAR 11, which was obviously the last elimination round before the final three, all teams left Macau to Guam, USA via Tokyo, Japan. Although Oswald&Danny didn't make the Hong Kong - Tokyo flight and were left behind, they were all equalized in Tokyo and went to Guam on the same flight. There were some tasks in Guam including Detour (choosing between Care Package or Engine Care) and Road Block (using GPS). The tasks were all about military stuffs. And the final placing: Dustin and Kandice (1), Eric&Danielle (2), Charla&Mirna (3), and Oswald&Danny (4 >> ELIMINATED). Well, I'm so happy Charla&Mirna made it to the final three. They were such a lovable, charming, interesting, and attractive team on the race!! I really hope they win this race... :) For me, Charla&Mirna has been the magnet of the show, he3 (even more than the Beauty Queens since I think Charla&Mirna possess more the 'grab-the-attention-and-love-us' factor)... :) Trivia: Phil Keoghan teared when he said Charla&Mirna was eliminated on season 5.

Well, the formation was kinda interesting. Two all-female teams on the final three!! That was the first time in the history of TAR. Dustin&Kandice and Charla&Mirna were the second and third (respectively) all-female teams to ever make it to the final three of TAR USA (in TARA, Zabrina&Joe-Jer made it to the final three and even won the race!!) even though they didn't on their original season. It's so interesting, I believe they are the strongest and most competitive all-female teams on the history of TAR. There were only 2 all-female teams from all 11 teams in this TAR All-Stars and they both made it to the final 3!! Wow!!

Time really flies, it's now down to the final three, and next week TAR 11 is ended... :(

Btw, in few days (or weeks), Star World is gonna air The Apprentice!! Yaaaayyy!!! I don't know which season yet, but I guess that's gonnabe the fifth season. Even though I already know who won (the winner was also 'rewarded' as becoming one jury of the Miss Universe Pageant last year), that's still gonnabe interesting!! Yaaay... . I have so many upcoming TV Shows to watch, 24 (3 (hopefully 4) seasons), The Apprentice, and The Amazing Race Asia 2 (next Sept/Oct) and The Amazing Race 12 (next Sept/Oct).

::: Oswald&Danny, the last team to be eliminated

BAHASA INDONESIA

Di episode terbaru dari TAR 11, yang jelas banget merupakan babak eliminasi terakhir sebelum 3 besar, semua tim meninggalkan Macau dan pergi ke Guam, Amerika via Tokyo, Jepang. Walaupun Oswald&Danny nggak sempet naik penerbangan Hong Kong - Tokyo yang sama dan ketinggalan, mereka jadi seimbang di penerbangan Tokyo - Guam soale naik penerbangan yang sama. Ada beberapa tugas di Guam, termasuk tentu saja Detour (milih antara Care Package atau Engine Care) dan Road-Block (Make GPS). Tugasnya semua berhubungan sama hal-hal militer deh. Dan posisi akhirnya: Dustin and Kandice (1), Eric&Danielle (2), Charla&Mirna (3), dan Oswald&Danny (4 >> TERELIMINASI). Hmm, aku seneng banget Charla&Mirna masuk ke 3 besar. Mereka adalah tim yang bener-bener menarik, disukai, dicintai, dan punya daya tarik lah di race ini!! Aku berharap mereka deh yang menang... :) Untuk aku, Charla&Mirna adalah magnet dari show ini, he3 (lebih daripada Ratu Kecantikan (Beauty Queens) soale aku rasa Charla&Mirna lebih memiliki faktor 'tarik-perhatian-dan-cintai-kami')... :) Trivia: Phil Keoghan bahkan mengeluarkan air mata loh waktu Charla&Mirna tereliminasi di musim kelima.

Hmm, formasinya menarik. Dua tim semua-wanita masuk tiga besar!! Pertama kalinya tu di sejarah TAR. Dustin&Kandice dan Charla&Mirna adalah tim semua wanite kedua dan ketiga (berurutan) yang pernah masuk tiga besar di dalam sejarah TAR USA (di TARA sih Zabrina&Joe-Jer juga masuk 3 besar bahkan menang!!) walaupun mereka nggak masuk di musim mereka sebelumnya. Menarik banget, aku percaya mereka adalah tim terkuat dan paling kompetitif dari semua tim semua-wanita di sejarah TAR. Cuma ada 2 tim semua-perempuan dari keseluruhan 11 tim di TAR All-Stars ini dan keduanya masuk 3 besar!! Wah!!

Waktu bener2 cepet yah!! Ga kerasa skarang udah tiga besar dan minggu depan TAR 11 selesai... :(

Btw, dalam beberapa hari (atau minggu) ke depan, Star World akan nayangin The Apprentice loh!! Yaaayyy!!! Aku gatau si musim yang keberapa, tapi kalo aku tebak sih bakalan musim yang kelima tuh. Walaupun aku dah tau sapa yang menang (pemenangnya tahun lalu juga 'dihadiahi' menjadi juri dari Miss Universe tahun lalu loh), masih akan menarik koq!! Yaaayy... . Aku punya banyak TV Show yang akan datang nih untuk ditonton, 24 (3 (moga2 4) musim), The Apprentice, dan The Amazing Race Asia 2 (besok Sept/Okt) dan The Amazing Race 12 (besok Sept/Oct).
