ENGLISHAs you can read at my previous entry, yesterday morning I had a stomachace (which was caused by consuming an inappropriate snack (inappropriate for my body)). Finally yesterday I figured out that probably I got food-poisoned again (arrggghhhh....). That was the second time in Bandung I got this problem, the first one was this time.Yesterday morning, after browsing the net at the net cafe, I went to my campus to finish my statistics homework and also had a meeting for Komat 2007 (Math Competition 2007) >> I'm one of the official.... :) During the whole time in campus, I didn't feel well and of course I couldn't really 100% concentrate to it. After getting back to my boarding house, I took a nap for 3 hours, and my body also did a natural metabolism to "push" the poison away (I hope you know what), and that was still happening until this morning.... . Luckily, this health-problem was not as bad as the previous one. That evening I still could hang out with my friend to IP until 8 PM.Btw, commenting about the newest episode of The Amazing Race 10. I hope Rob&Kim would be the next to be eliminated, just to make the final 3 more exciting. They seem to be pretty close to Tyler&James, and it's not fun to see 2 vs 1 in the finale. Lyn&Karlyn and the blondies hated each other; Tyler&James didn't trust the blondies; Tyler&James and Lyn&Karlyn were also not that close. That would be exciting if all of them were in the final 3!! :) Btw, about the yield, I could imagine if Lyn&Karlyn laughed at the blondies and said: "You yielded us, but you came last". He3.... :)
BAHASA INDONESIASeperti yang bisa dibaca di postingan sebelumnya, kemarin pagi aku sakit perut (yang kayanya disebabkan karena makan snack yang ga cocok (ga cocok untuk badan saya)). Akhirnya, kemarin aku tahu bahwa mungkin aku keracunan makanan lagi (arrggghhhh....). Itu adalah kali kedua di Bandung aku mendapatkan masalah ini, yang pertama adalah pada waktu ini.Kemarin pagi, habis internetan di warnet, aku pergi ke kampus untuk menyelesaikan PR statistika saya dan juga ikutan pertemuan untuk panitia Komat 2007 (Kompetisi Matematika 2007) >> aku kan salah satu panitianya.... :) Selama waktuku di kampus kemarin, aku nggak merasa oke dan tentu aja kan aku nggak bisa bener-bener 100% konsentrasi ke itu. Habis balik ke kosku, aku istirahat selama 3 jam, dan juga tubuhku melakukan metabolisme alami untuk "mendorong" racunnya keluar (aku harap pada tahu apa), dan itu masih berlangsung sampai pagi ini.... . Untungnya masalah kesehatan ini nggak separah yang sebelumnya. Sorenya aku masih bisa jalan2 sama temenku ke IP sampe jam 8 malam.Btw, ngomentarin episode terbaru dari The Amazing Race 10. Aku berharap Rob&Kim adalah yang tereliminasi selanjutnya, untuk membuat 3 besarnya lebih seru. Mereka kayanya lumayan deket sama Tyler&James, dan nggak asik dong liat 2 vs 1 di babak final. Lyn&Karlyn dan Dustin&Kandice membenci satu sama lain; Tyler&James nggak mempercayai Dustin and Kandice; dan Tyler&James dan Lyn&Karlyn juga nggak deket-deket amat. Makanya kayanya bakal seru kalo mereka yang ada di 3 besar!! :) Btw, tentang yield (penghambatan) yang kemarin itu, aku bisa membayangkan kalo Lyn&Karlyn ketawa ke Dustin&Kandice dan bilang: "Kamu menge-yield kami tapi kamu sampai belakangan". He3.... :)
ENGLISHAs usual, yesterday was a busy and tiring Monday for me. Having lecture started from 7 AM, and a short break from 9.30 AM to 11 AM (wakzz, 90 minutes is a SHORT break?? He3.... ). At first I went to the net cafe, but after 29 minutes browsing, there was another trouble, the connection was damn slow.... :( And because of that, I left the net cafe, went back to my boarding house and tried to take a nap (I only had 5 hours sleep that night). Unfortunately, I was not destined to take a nap. Ten minutes after arriving at my room, my boarding-house-keeper tried to mend the ceiling in front of my room. The noise was so annoying and I couldn't take a nap. Arrrggghhhh.... . Then at 11 AM I went back to my campus and had lectures until 3 PM.My original plan for that evening was to go to the net cafe to save more money. But because my experience earlier that day about the connection, so I changed my plan and went to a hotspot cafe (again). I ate beef potato, and usually, my stomach was full after eating that. I don't know why but yesterday, I still felt pretty hungry. I didn't buy any other food there (again, to save more money) considering I still had snacks at home.At 8 PM, I watched the newest episode of The Amazing Race 10. All 4 teams had to travel from Kiev to Quarzazate, Morocco. Dustin&Kandice took the flight from Kiev via Milan to Casablanca Morocco. The rest of them took flight from Kiev to Casablanca, Morocco via Paris. All teams met at Casablanca, and then continued their trip to Quarzazate. After the elimination of the rest members of Six Pack, Lyn&Karlyn raced pretty differently yesterday. They were also lucky. Dustin&Kandice yielded them, but it was not a bad luck. In the end of the leg, the final position: Tyler&James (1); Lyn&Karlyn (2); Rob&Kimberly (3); and the last one was Dustin&Kandice (4 >> but NOT eliminated, that was a non-elimination leg). Dustin&Kandice yielded Lyn&Karlyn, but L&K beated them in the end, was that a karma?? :)That night, since I still felt hungry, I ate my snack. But 1 hour after that, I felt there was something wrong with my stomach. It was not as bad as getting food-poisoned, not hurt, but I just felt not very well and comfortable. That was still happening this morning. I guess that was because my stomach was still empty, and I ate snack which was inappropritate. I think.... :(
So, my Monday ended with stomachace.... :(BAHASA INDONESIASeperti biasanya, kemarin adalah hari yang sibuk dan melelahkan buat saya. Kuliah dari jam 7 pagi, dan istirahat yang pendek dari jam 9.30 sampe jam 11 (90 menit itu SEBENTAR?? He3.... ). Pertama aku pergi ke warnet, tapi habis internetan selama 29 menit, ada masalah nih, koneksinya lambaaan skali.... :( Dan karena itu aku meninggalkan tuh warnet, balik ke kos, dan maunya sih istirahat tuh (malamnya aku cuma tidur 5 jam soale). Sayangnya, aku nggak ditakdirkan untuk istirahat deh. Sepuluh menit setelah nyampe kamarku, penjaga kosnya ngebenerin langit-langit di depan kamarku. Suaranya ngeganggu banget dan gabisa istirahat deh saya. Arrrggghhhh.... . Trus jam 11 pagi aku balik ke kampus dan kuliah sampe jam 3 sore. Rencana awalku untuk sore itu adalah untuk pergi ke warnet untuk menekan pengeluaran. Tapi karena pengalaman saya pagi harinya tentang koneksi, jadi aku mengubah rencanaku dan pergi ke kafe hotspot (lagi). Aku makan beef potato, dan biasanya sih aku kenyang makan ini. Aku nggak tau kenapa tapi kemarin, aku masih ngerasa lumayan laper. Aku nggak beli makanan apa-apa lagi (untuk menghemat, lagi) dengan juga mikir soale di kos kan masih ada snack.Jam 8 malam, aku nonton episode terbaru dari The Amazing Race 10. Kesemua tim harus pergi dari Kiev ke Quarzazate, Moroko. Dustin&Kandice ngambil penerbangan via Milan tujuan Casablanca, Moroko. Sisanya ngambil penerbangan dari Kiev menuju Casablanca via Paris. Kesemua tim bertemu di Casablanca, dan melajutkan perjalanan bersama-sama ke Quarzazate. Habis tereliminasinya anggota dari SixPack, Lyn&Karlyn bertanding dengan agak berbeda kemarin. Mereka juga beruntung. Dustin&Kandice menge-yield (menghambat) mereka, tapi itu bukanlah hal yang buruk. Di akhir pertandingan, posisinya: Tyler&James (1); Lyn&Karlyn (2); Rob&Kimberly (3); dan yang terakhir adalah Dustin&Kandice (4 >> tapi nggak tereliminasi soale bukan pertandingan eliminasi tuh ternyata). Dustin&Kandice menge-yield Lyn&Karlyn, tapi Lyn&Karlyn mengalahkan mereka, apakah itu karma?? :) Kemarin malam, kan aku masih laper, jadi aku makan deg snack saya itu. Tapi 1 jam setelahnya, aku ngerasa ada yg nggak beres deh sama perut saya. Nggak separah keracunan makanan, nggak sakit, aku cuma nggak merasa oke dan nyaman aja. Itu ternyata masih berlanjut hingga pagi ini. Aku rasa itu karena aku makan snack yang nggak cocok saat perut saya kosong. Kayaknya.... :(
Jadi, Senin saya berakhir dengan masalah di perut.... :(
ENGLISHFor this semester, there were 2 English Assignments to finish. The first one was submitted before UTS, and the second one was submitted last Friday. However, according to what my lecturer said in the beginning of the class, the second assignment was supposed to be submitted 2 weeks before UAS, and two weeks before UAS is next week (arrggghhh, now I realize that UAS is coming!!). Last Friday (17/11), I was absent from the lectures that day (Micro Economics and English) since I thought there was NO Micro Economics Lecture for that Friday (apparently my lecturer canceled to cancel the class... :( ), and English, well, I was just lazy to attend the class if there was NO Micro Economics Class, he3... :D. Unfortunately, at that time my English lecturer asked us to submit the second task the next week (last Friday) and I didn't know that. So, when last Friday Morning my friend told me that that afternoon I was supposed to submit the assignment, I was pretty shocked!!Luckily, I had already made that assignment, not 100% finished yet (since I didn't know I was supposed to submit it that day), but had already been around 80%. So, after Micro Economics Class, I was absent from a BTS (Intra-Math Magazine) meeting and Komat 2007 (Math Competition 2007) meeting, and went back to my boarding house, then completing the remaining 20%, printing it, and giving some last touch... :D And it was finally finished... :)
I think sometimes I enjoy working under-pressure, when I have to be hurry, things just go unpredictably, etc. But in the end, when I nail it, I get more satisfaction than if everything always goes on track... :DBAHASA INDONESIAUntuk semester ini, ada 2 tugas Bahasa Inggris untuk diselesaikan. Yang pertama dikumpulkan sebelum UTS, dan yang kedua dikumpulkan kemarin Jumat. Tetapi, berdasarkan apa yang dosen saya bilang di awal-awal kelas, tugas kedua tug seharusnya dikumpul 2 minggu sebelum UAS, dan dua minggu sebelum UAS adalah minggu depan (arrggghhh, sekarang aku sadar kalo UAS sudah hampir tiba!!). Kemarin Jumat (17/11), aku ga masuk kuliah loh hari itu (Ekonomi Mikro sama Bahasa Inggris), soale aku kira kan ga ada kuliah Ekonomi Mikro untuk Jumat itu (dan ternyata dosennya batal untuk membatalkan kelas... :( ), dan Bahasa Inggris, hmm, aku sih cuma males masuk kelas kalo ga ada kuliah Ekonomi Mikro, he3... :D. Malangnya, waktu itu dosen Bahasa Inggris saya nyuruh kita untuk ngumpulin tugas kedua minggu depannya (kemarin Jumat) dan aku kan nggak tahu itu. Jadi, waktu kemarin Jumat pagi temenku ngomong ke aku kalo seharusnya tugas Bahasa Inggris sudah dikumpul, aku lumayan shock loh!!Untungnya, aku udah buat tuh tugas sih, belum selesai 100% (kan aku nggak tahu kalo kemarin harus dikumpul) tapi baru sekitar 80%an lah. Jadi, habis kuliah Ekonomi Mikro, kemarin aku ga ikut pertemuan BTS (majalah intra-mat) dan Komat 2007 (Kompetisi Mat 2007 ntar), dan balik ke kos saya, trus menyelesaikan sisa 20% tersebut, trus nge-print, trus memberi beberapa sentuhan terakhir... :D Dan akhirnya selesai deh... :)
Kayaknya kadangkala aku lumayan menikmati kerja di bawah tekanan, ketika aku harus terburu-buru, beberapa hal nggak terduga, dan lain lain. Tapi ketika pada akhirnya aku berhasil, kayanya aku mendapakan kepuasan yang lebih daripada kalo segalanya sesuai dengan yang sudah direncanakan... :D
ENGLISHSince these days I have been over-budgeting, so yesterday I tried to keep my expenses on budget. I went nowhere, just around my boarding house, including not going to the hotspot cafe, but just to the net cafe near my campus (it's still cheaper to surf the net at the net cafe than hotspot cafe, since at hotspot cafe we still have to buy at least a drink, pay the parking fee, and also the gas fee, he3... :D). Yesterday afternoon, at 12 PM, it was raining here in Bandung. I was worried since at 3 PM I would have a lecture. Luckily at 1 PM, the rain stopped. But then, at 2.30 PM, I heard the rain noise from my room. "Arrrgghhhh...", that was what in my mind, "Should I go to my campus and have lecture or not?". *there were an angel and devil flying around my mind; but then the angel shot the devil with a laser beam and the devil disappeared*. It was apparently only showering, not raining, so I still could go to my campus... :) At 5 PM, my lecture finished.Last night, I watched the third episode of The Amazing Race Asia. At first I thought it was gonnabe in Thailand, but apparently it was in BALI, INDONESIA. The Road-Block was such a hard task (beach-digging), some teams (Andy & Laura, Mardy & Marsio, Aubrey & Jaq, Zabrina & Joe-Jer and Andrew & Syeon) quitted and took the 4 hrs penalty. Then, the race was paused for 1 night (if it hadn't, the quitter would have got the advantages). After finishing all tasks in Bali, the final position were: Howard & Sahran (1); Sandy & Fransesca (2 >> see?? If they maximized their potencies, they got a good position); Sharon & Melody (3); Prashant & Sahil (4); Zabrina & Joe-Jer (5 >> actually the 1st, but they got the 4hrs penalty); Mardy & Marsio (6); Andy & Laura (7); Andrew & Syeon (8); and unfortunately Aubrey & Jaq (9 >> eliminated). Well, one of my fave has gone, but I still have 5 fave teams remaining, the M&M, Sharon & Melody, Zabrina & Joe-Jer, Andrew & Syeon, and Sandy & Fransesca, he3... :) >> so now, all Phils teams have been eliminated...
::: Aubrey & Jaq, the second team to be eliminatedBAHASA INDONESIA
Karena akhir-akhir ini aku tuh udah over-budget, makanya kemarin aku mencoba untuk menjaga pengeluaranku sesuai dengan budget. Aku nggak kemana-mana, cuma di sekitar kosku, termasuk nggak pergi ke hotspot, tapi cuma ke warnet yang di deket kampus doank (sebenernya tetep lebih murah di warnet loh daripada di kafe hotspot, soale di kafe hotspot kan kita tetep harus bayar minuman, bayar parkir, dan duit buat bensin, he3... :D). Kemarin siang jam 12an gitu di Bandung hujan loh. Aku khawatir juga soalnya jam 3 kan aku ada kuliah. Untungnya jam 1, hujannya berhenti. Tetapi kemudian, jam 2.30 siang, aku mendengar suara hujan dari kamarku. "Arrrgghhhh...", itu adalah yang ada dalam pikiran saya, "Aku enaknya ke kampus untuk kuliah apa engga ya?". *ada malaikat dan setan yang beterbangan di dalam pikiran saya; tapi kemudian malaikatnya menembak si setan dengan sinar laser, dan setannya hilang deh*. Ternyata kemarin cuma gerimis koq, nggak hujan deres, jadi aku masih bisa ke kampus... :) Jam 5 sore, kuliah saya selesai. Semalam, aku nonton episode ketiga dari The Amazing Race Asia. Pertama aku kira bakalan di Thailand, eh ternyata malah di BALI, INDONESIA. Tugas Road-Block bener-bener berat banget (menggali pantai), beberapa tim (Andy & Laura, Mardy & Marsio, Aubrey & Jaq, Zabrina & Joe-Jer dan Andrew & Syeon) keluar dari tugas dan mengambil penalti 4 jam. Trus, pertandingan ditunda selama semalam (kalo engga, pasti tim yang keluar akan dapat keuntungan tuh). Habis menyelesaikan semua tugas di Bali, akhirnya dicapailah posisi akhir: Howard & Sahran (1); Sandy & Fransesca (2 >> nah kan?? Kalo mereka memaksimalkan potensi mereka, mereka akan dapat posisi yang bagus); Sharon & Melody (3); Prashant & Sahil (4); Zabrina & Joe-Jer (5 >> sebenernya yang pertama tuh, tapi mereka kena penalti 4 jam); Mardy & Marsio (6); Andy & Laura (7); Andrew & Syeon (8); dan malangnya Aubrey & Jaq (9 >> tereliminasi). Hmm, satu tim favorit saya udah pergi, tapi aku masih punya 5 tim favorit yg bertahan, yaitu M&M, Sharon & Melody, Zabrina & Joe-Jer, Andrew & Syeon, and Sandy & Fransesca, he3... :) >> jadi skarang semua tim Filipina sudah tereliminasi...
ENGLISHYesterday evening, my friend and I went to Paris van Java Mall planning to watch a brand new James Bond movie, Casino Royale. This film is probably one of the most booming film I have ever watched in cinema. The cinema (Blitz Megaplex), played this film every hour. After buying the tickets (the film would start at 5 PM), we went to buy drinks and snacks at Carrefour (it's a lot cheaper to buy those snacks at the supermarket than buying at the cinema). Then, the film started at 5 PM and the room was almost full of people (it was a big room). This is the synopsis of the film (copied from here):Casino Royale introduces James Bond before he holds his license to kill. But Bond is no less dangerous, and with two professional assassinations in quick succession, he is elevated to '00' status. Bond's first 007 mission takes him to Madagascar where he is to spy on a terrorist, Mollaka. Not everything goes to plan and Bond decides to investigate, independently of MI6, in order to track down the rest of the terrorist cell. Following a lead to the Bahamas, he encounters Dimitrios and his girlfriend, Solange. He learns that Dimitrios is involved with Le Chiffre, banker to the world's terrorist organizations. Secret Service intelligence reveals that Le Chiffre is planning to raise money in a high-stakes poker game in Montenegro at Le Casino Royale. MI6 assigns 007 to play against him, knowing that if Le Chiffre loses, it will destroy his organization. 'M' places Bond under the watchful eye of the beguiling Vesper Lynd. At first skeptical of what value Vesper can provide, Bond's interest in her deepens as they brave danger together and even torture at the hands of Le Chiffre. In Montenegro, Bond allies himself with Mathis MI6's local field agent, and Felix Leiter who is representing the interests of the CIA. The marathon game proceeds with dirty tricks and violence, raising the stakes beyond blood money and reaching a terrifying climax. As (almost) everyone knows, the new James Bond is Daniel Craig, replacing Pierce Brosnan and somehow this became a controversy in the past (which I don't really care). Overall, I think this film was good enough. I like this movie better than the previous one, Die Another Day since it seems to be more "real" (in Die Another Day, the Bond's car was invisible which for now is an impossible thing, that's one thing). I think this could be a good pre-sequel of the whole James Bond movies. At least, yesterday I didn't yawn nor felt sleepy when the movie was being played... :) 
::: Eva Green (as Vesper Lynd), Daniel Craig (as James Bond), and Caterina Murino (as Solange) at Casino Royale
::: Bond's Car, Aston MartinBAHASA INDONESIAKemarin sore, temenku sama aku pergi ke Mall Paris van Java untuk menonton film terbaru dari James Bond, Casino Royale. Film ini mungkin adalah salah satu film paling booming yang pernah aku tonton di bioskop. Bioskopnya (Blitz Megaplex), memainkan film ini satu jam sekali. Habis membeli tiketnya (filmnya bakalan mjulai jam 5 sore), kita pergi beli minuman dan snack dulu di Carrefour (lebih murah loh beli snack di supermarket daripada beli snack itu di bioskopnya). Trus, filmnya mulai jam 5 sore dan ruangannya hampir penuh loh (ruangannya besar juga tuh). Ini di bawah sinopsis dari filmnya (dikopi dari sini dan aku terjemahin):Casino Royale menceritakan James Bond saat dia belum mendapatkan izin membunuhnya. Tetapi Bond bukan berarti lebih tidak berbahaya, dan dengan 2 pembunuhan profesional dalam misi yang sukses, dia dipromosikan / naik status menjadi '00'. Misi pertama Bond sebagai 007 membawanya ke Madagaskar dimana dia harus memata-matai teroris, Mollaka. Nggak semuanya berjalan sesuai dengan rencana dan Bond memutuskan untuk menginvestigasi, secara independen (sendiri) MI6, untuk melacak terorisnya. Mengikuti petunjuk yang didapatnya ke Bahama, dia bertemu dengan Dimitrios dan pacarnya, Solange. Dia menemukan bahwa Dimitrios terlibat dengan Le Chiffre, seorang bankir dari organisasi teroris dunia. Intelijen Rahasia menemukan bahwa Le Chiffre sedang berencana untuk mendapatkan uang dengan bermain poker kelas atas di Montenegro di La Casino Royale. MI6 menugaskan James Bond untuk bermain melawannya, mengetahui kalau Le Chiffre kalah, berarti kehancuran bagi organisasinya. 'M' mengutus James Bond dibawah pengawasan Vesper Lynd. Awalnya, kecurigaan tampak pada Vesper, ketertarikan Bond padanya menjadi semakin dalam setelah menghadapi bahaya bersama dan dianiaya oleh Le Chiffre. Di Montenegro, Bond bekerjasama dengan Mathis, orang lokal agen dari MI6, dan Felix Leiter, seorang utusan dari CIA. Permainan kemudian berlangsung dengan trik-trik kotor dan kekejaman, meningkatkan taruhan dengan uang berdarah dan mencapai klimaks yang menegangkan. Seperti yang (hampir) semua orang tahu, James Bond yang baru adalah Daniel Craig, menggantikan Pierce Brosnan dan ini menjadi kontroversi beberapa waktu yang lalu (yang nggak gitu aku urus). Secara keseluruhan, aku rasa filmnya bagus juga. Aku lebih suka film ini daripada yang sebelumnya, Die Another Day, soalnya ini kelihatan lebih "nyata" (di Die Another Day, mobil Bond-nya bisa nggak kelihatan, sesuatu yang sangat mustahil untuk saat ini, itu satu hal). Menurutku ini bisa menjadi pre0sekuel yang bagus untuk keseluruhan film Bond. Paling nggak, kemarin aku nggak menguap atau merasa ngantuk waktu nonton filmnya... :)
ENGLISHPre-note: since there have been some complaints about the color of my entries, therefore starting entry number 241, I only write in green color. Actually I want blue since it's my fave color, but I don't think blue is matching enough with the starcraft pic on the background, therefore I chose green. Honestly I can write sumthing about my yesterday, but since it was just an ordinary day, I think it's gonnabe boring if I write it. So, I wanna write about the latest episode of The Amazing Race 10, which I watched last night.The top 5 race began at Helsinki, Finland last week. After finishing all tasks in Finland, apparently they didn't find the pitstop there, they had to keep racing. The next clue was to go to the capital city of the country where the Chernobyl Disaster happened years ago (they had to go to Kiev, Ukraine). All teams were then equal, although they took different flights due to the limited number of seats. The Beauty Queens and The Model Boys took a flight departed at 8.30 AM to Kiev via Vienna, Austria, arrived at 1.35 PM. The Chos, Bama's Girls and Rob and Kim took a flight departed at 9.30 AM to Kiev via Warsaw, Poland, and arrived at 1.35 PM. Unfortunately, the flight got delayed at Warsaw for 30 minutes. The first task was Road-Block, they had to drive a tank through a war simulation for about 1.2 miles. The second task was Detour, they had to choose between "Make The Music" (composing a rap music and sang it in front of a DJ) and "Find The Music" (finding one piece of document about a song over thousands of paper then brought that to the pianist). The most interesting part of this episode, for me, was the conflict between The Chos and The Alabama (Bama) Girls. Since they were in a foreign country, they didn't know the way to get to anywhere. The Chos stopped very often to ask for direction, making sure they were not lost. The Bamas thought that didn't make any sense since that was still a race and probably they were the last two teams. After being fed up, the Bama Girls left the Chos behind and ran "their own race", asking for direction and just following their intuition. The Chos were pissed and said the Bamas Girls were not their alliance anymore. Actually, I do think the Bamas made a point. It was just crazy, driving slowly, pulling over every 5 minutes asking for direction, that was just wasting their time. In other hand, I think Chos were really loyal to their alliance with the Bamas and David & Mary (who got eliminated at Madagascar). Therefore, probably they felt betrayed when the Bamas Gals left them. It was about friendship VS being competitors on the race.Well, actually I wonder why they didn't pay a cab driver and asked him to show the direction, just like what the Beauty Queens and Rob&Kim did (and also Mardy and Marsio did on The Amazing Race Asia). Was that because the limited number of money they brought??Finally, the final position: Tyler & James (1); Dustin & Kandice (2) >> I do think they possessed the potency to win the race, they were Beauty Queens, but they also possessed "brain", they were smart; Rob & Kim (3); Lyn & Karlyn / The Bamas (4); and Erwin and Godwin / The Chos (5 >> eliminated). After watching the show, I like all of the team, so I root for all, he3...... :) But my least fave team is Rob & Kim. Watching the trailer next week, I guess it was in Athens, Greece. Hmm......
Quick Update: reading at Wikipedia, the next location will be in Morocco, Barcelona, and Paris.BAHASA INDONESIAPre-note: karena ada beberapa komplain tentang warna dari postingan saya, makanya mulai postingan nomor 241 aku akan menulis hanya dalam warna hijau. Sebenernya sih aku pinginnya warna fave-ku biru, cuma kayanya warna biru ga cocok deh sama gambar pesawat luar angkasa di backgroundnya, makanya aku milih hijau. Sejujurnya aku bisa menulis sesuatu tentang hari saya kemarin sih, tapi karena apa yang terjadi cuma biasa-biasa saja, makanya aku pikir bakalan membosankan deh kalo aku nulis itu. Jadi aku mau nulis tentang episode terakhir dari The Amazing Race 10 aja ah, yang aku tonton semalam.Pertandingan 5 besar dimulai minggu lalu di Helsinki, Finlandia. Habis menyelesaikan semua tugas dari Finlandia, ternyata mereka nggak menemukan pitstop disana, dan harus terus bertanding. Tugas selanjutnya adalah untuk pergi ke ibukota dari negara dimana bencana Chernobyl terjadi beberapa tahun yang lalu (mereka mesti pergi ke Kiev, Ukraina). Semua tim akhirnya menjadi seimbang, walau mereka mengambil penerbangan yang berbeda karena keterbatasan kursi. Dustin & Kandice dan Tyler & James ngambil penerbangan ke Kiev via Vienna, Austria yang berangkat jam 8.30 pagi dan sampai jam 1.35 siang. Sementara Cho Bersaudara, perempuan Alabama (Bama) dan Rob & Kim mengambil penerbangan ke Kiev via Warsawa, Polandia, yang berangkat jam 9.30 pagi dan sampai jam 1.35 siang. Sayangnya, penerbangan mereka ditunda selama 30 menit di Warsawa. Tugas pertama adalah Road-Block, mereka harus menyetir sebuah tank melalui sebuah simulasi perang sepanjang 1,2 mil. Tugas kedua adalah Detour, dimana mereka harus memilih diantara "Make The Music" (membuat sebuah musik rap dan menyanyikannya di depan DJ) atau "Find the Music" (menemukan selembar dokumen berisi sebuah lagu dari ribuan kertas dan memberikannya ke pianis). Yang paling menarik dari episode ini, bagi aku, adalah konflik diantara Cho bersaudara dan Perempuan Alabama. Karena mereka di negara asing, makanya mereka nggak tau jalan untuk kemana-mana. Cho bersaudara berhenti sangat sering untuk nanya arah biar mereka nggak tersesat. Bamas berpikir kalo itu bukanlah ide yang masuk akal soalnya itu kan masih pertandingan dan bisa aja mereka itu ada di 2 tim terbelakang. Setelah muak dengan semuanya, Bama meninggalkan Cho di belakang dan memainkan "pertandingan mereka sendiri", tanya arah dan kemudian mengikuti intuisi mereka. Cho marah akan hal itu dan mengatakan kalo Tim Alabama bukan aliansi mereka lagi. Sebenernya, aku mikir kalo sebenernya tim Alabama itu bener loh. Gila kan kalo nyetir pelan, berhenti setiap 5 menit untuk nanya arah, kan bener-bener membuang waktu. Di sisi lain, kayanya Cho bener-bener loyal kepada aliansinya, dengan tim Alabama dan David & Mary (yang tereliminasi di Madagaskar). Makanya, mungkin mereka merasa dikhianati ketika tim Alabama meninggalkan mereka. Ini adalah tentang persahabatan VS menjadi saingan dalam pertandingan. Hmm, sebenernya aku heran kenapa koq mereka gamau menyewa sopir taksi untuk nunjukkin jalan ya, kayak yang dilakukan Dustin & Kandice dan Rob & Kim (dan juga Mardy dan Marsio dalam The Amazing Race Asia). Apa karena uang mereka yang terbatas?? Trus, posisi akhirnya: Tyler & James (1); Dustin & Kandice (2) >> aku kira mereka memiliki potensi untuk menang loh, mereka adalah peserta acara Ratu Kecantikan, tapi mereka juga memiliki "otak", mereka pintar; Rob & Kim (3); Lyn & Karlyn / The Bamas (4); dan Erwin & Godwin / The Chos (5 >> tereliminasi). Habis nonton episode ini, kayanya aku suka semua timnya deh, he3...... :) Tapi yang paling ga aku suka adalah Rob & Kim. Ngeliat cuplikannya minggu depan, kayanya bakalan ada di Athena, Yunani. Hmm......
Apdet Cepet: Habis baca di Wikipedia, ternyata lokasi selanjutnya bakalan ada di Moroko, Barcelona, dan Paris.
ENGLISHLast Saturday morning was no different with the usual Saturday, a busy day. I got up at 6.13 AM in the morning (I hope you are not bored with this sentence) and had lectures starting at 7 AM in the morning.>> Fast-Forward >>At 1 PM, my lecture finished (actually, the last lecture of the week, Elementary Statistics Labwork, had already finished at 12 PM, but since we still had 2 unfinished modules, so my class decided to use every single remaining second to finish those tasks (but those tasks still haven't been finished yet, there are bags of questions..... :( )). Actually I planned to go to the net cafe afterward, but unfortunately, the connection was still off (I guess they faced a very difficult and serious problem). So then I went to the hotspot cafe and surfed the net there. Bandung's traffic on weekend was a brutal and crowded one. There were so many outsiders, some motorbikers didn't drive carefully (there was an old woman nearly got hit by a bus >> at that time I heard somebody screaming "Aaaaaaaaa......", apparently, that was that woman's voice). Usually it only takes 20 minutes from my boarding house to the cafe, but yesterday it took 45 minutes, exceeding the double of the normal one. Luckily she was alright. After surfing the net for more than an hour, I felt so sleepy, and I went back home.At 6 PM, my friends and I went to a hotspot cafe again and just had a chat together. Yesterday we tried to speak in English, wakakakaka...... . That was okay, for me, not to let my conversation skill just vanish since I have been months not to speak in English. At 10 PM, we went back home.
Note: btw, since my Oggix's Shout Box didn't work, so for now I use the Cbox SB until I know how to make my Oggix works properly again.BAHASA INDONESIASabtu kemarin nggak terlalu berbeda tuh sama hari Sabtu yang biasanya, hari yang sibuk. Aku bangun jam 6.13 pagi (moga-moga pada nggak bosen nih sama kalimat ini) dan mengikuti kuliah yang dimulai jam 7 pagi. >> Fast-Forward >>Jam 1 siang, kuliahku akhirnya selesai juga (sebenernya sih, kuliah terakhir dalam 1 minggu, Praktikum Statistika Elementer, sudah elesai jam 12 siang, tapi karena kita masih ada 2 modul yang belum diselesaikan, jadi kelasku memutuskan untuk menggunakan setiap detik yang tersisa untuk mengerjakan tugas itu (tapi tugas-tugas itu masih belum selesai sih, banyak banget sih pertanyaannya..... :( )). Sebenernya aku berencana untuk pergi ke warnet habis kuliah, tetapi sayangnya, koneksinya masih mati (kayanya sih mereka sedang menghadapi masalah yang serius dan sangat susah). Jadi, kemudian aku pergi ke kafe hotspot dan ngenegt disana. Lalulintas Bandung pada akhir minggu tuh brutal dan rame banget. Ada banyak oran dari luar kota, beberapa pengendara motor ada yang nggak hati-hati juga (ada perempuan tua yang nyaris ditabrak sama bis loh >> waktu itu aku cuma denger suara seseorang teriak "Aaaaaaaaa......", ternyata, itu adalah suara wanita itu). Untungnya, dia nggak apa-apa. Biasanya cuma butuh waktu 20 menit loh dari kosku ke kafe, tapi kemarin butuh 45 menit, melebihi dua kali yang biasanya!! Habis ngenet lebih dari sejam, aku ngerasa ngantuk, makanya aku balik deh ke kos.Jam 6 sore temenku sama aku pergi ke kafe hotspot lagi dan ngobrol bareng. Kemarin kita nyoba bicara dalam Bahasa Inggris loh, wakakakaka...... . Nggak papa sih, untuk aku supaya nggak membiarkan kemampuan ngomongku hilang begitu aja, soale kan aku dah nggak ngomong Inggris selama beberapa bulan. Jam 10 malem, kita balik deh.
Note: btw, karena Shout Box Oggixku nggak bisa jalan, makanya sekarang ini aku sementara pake SB Cbox sampe aku tahu gimana cara ngembalikin si Oggix lagi.
