On the third leg of TARA 2, all teams left Manila and went to Hong Kong, China. There, they got a task which is counting Hong Kong currencies. After that they gotta go to Auckland, New Zealand. I was like: "What?", why should they go north to Hong Kong just to do an additional task then they went far south to Auckland?? haha... ;) That was funny, I guess that was because of sponsorship, lol.
In Auckland they gotta do some tasks, including Road-Block (bungee-jumping) and Detour (Wall (rock-climbing) or Waka (kayaking)). The final placing: 1. Marc & Rovilson; 2. Adrian & Colling; 3. Ann & Diane (wow, #3 3 times in a row!!); 4. Paula & Natasha; 5. Henry & Terri; 6. Daichi & Sawaka; 7. Pamela & Vanessa; 8. Sophie & Aurelia; 9. Brett & Kinaryosih (ELIMINATED).
ARRRRGGGHHHHH!!!! What?? Brett & Kinaryosih were eliminated!! Arrrgghhh, that's so shocking. Anyway, I already thought this was gonna happen since they landed on Auckland tho, why? Because Brett & Kinar (BnK) were so left behind. They got it hard to find the marked car. Plus, they were last on the Howick Village (by the time they got there all other teams had left). Therefore, they couldn't trade for answers to other team (like other teams did) to get it faster in completing the task. They were far far behind, even Sophie & Aurelia who got lost (they went to the wrong direction for about 150 km, which was the opposite direction of their destination) were still ahead of them!! BnK hadn't even completed the Detour yet until the crew called them directly to the pitstop and they got eliminated... :(
Aurelia (yea, of Sophie & Aurelia, the racer from Hong Kong) told ME (yea, ME ME ME, hahaha... :D) thru my AXN profile that BnK were so unlucky. They were last, they didn't pay a cab or couldn't find local to guide them to the village (while she and Sophie managed to pay a cab driver to guide them). That caused them SO far behind. Hmm, poor BnK... :(
Huu!! I'm so sad Brett & Kinar were the second to be eliminated. No more Indonesia's representative on the race!! :( Anyway, I will still watch and enjoy the show since I still have some fave teams, hehe... ;) I am not disappointed with BnK, I'm just disappointed with their fate. Brett is a great person, not like Edwin. He calmed Terri down while she was angry with no reason to Henry. He didn't blame Kinar because she couldn't execute the Detour task. Ah, poor them...
Anyway, this leg is the best leg so far this season, except the result.

Di babak ketiga dari TARA 2, semua tim meninggalkan Manila dan pergi ke Hong Kong, China. Disana mereka melakukan satu tugas yaitu menghitung mata uang Hong Kong. Habis itu mereka harus pergi ke Auckland, New Zealand. Haha, komentar saya: "Apa?", kenapa koq mereka mesti pergi ke utara yaitu ke Hong Kong untuk melakukan 1 tugas sampingan trus mesti pergi jauh ke selatan ke Auckland?? haha... ;) Lucu yah, menurutku sih itu karena sponsor deh, lol.
Di Auckland, mereka harus melakukan beberapa tugas, termasuk Road-Block (bungee-jumping) dan Detour (Wall (manjat dinding) atau Waka (kayak)). Urutan akhirnya: 1. Marc & Rovilson; 2. Adrian & Colling; 3. Ann & Diane (wow, #3 3 kali berturutan!!); 4. Paula & Natasha; 5. Henry & Terri; 6. Daichi & Sawaka; 7. Pamela & Vanessa; 8. Sophie & Aurelia; 9. Brett & Kinaryosih (TERELIMINASI).
ARRRRGGGHHHHH!!!! Apa?? Brett & Kinaryosih tereliminasi!! Arrrgghhh, mengejutkan sekali. Ngomong2, sebenernya aku udah mengira akan terjadi sih semenjak mereka mendarat di Auckland, kenapa?? Soalnya Brett & Kinar (BnK) bener2 ketinggalan di belakang. Mereka susah bgt nemuin mobil bertanda. Plus, mereka yang terakhir yang sampe di Desa Howick (waktu mereka nyampe sana semua tim lain uda pergi). Makanya mereka jadi gabisa tuker2an jawaban kaya yang tim lain lakukan untuk menyelesaikan tugas lebih cepat. Mereka bener ketinggalan jauh di belakang, bahkan Sophie & Aurelia aja yang tersesat (mereka pergi ke arah yang salah sekitar 150 km, dan tujuan mereka ada di arah yg berlawana) masih di depan BnK!! BnK bahkan belum menyelesaikan Detour sampai kru-nya memanggil mereka langsung ke pitstop dan tereliminasi... :(
Aurelia (iya, dari tim Sophie & Aurelia, peserta dari Hong Kong) ngomong ke SAYA (iya, SAYA SAYA SAYA, hahaha... :D) lewat profilku di AXN kalo BnK tu sial banget. Mereka yg terakhir, mereka nggak bayar taksi ato menemukan orang setempat yang bisa nunjukin jalan ke desa itu (padahal dia dan Sophie membayar taksi tuh untuk nunjukin mereka jalan). Makanya mereka bener2 JAUH BANGET di belakang. Hmm, kasian tuh BnK... :(
Huu!! Sedih nih Brett & Kinar adalah yg kedua yg tereliminasi. Nggak ada lagi deh wakil Indonesia di lomba!! :( Ngomong2, aku masih akan tetep menikmati shownya soale aku ada beberapa tim favorit lain, hehe... ;) Aku nggak kecewa sama BnK sih, cuma sebel sama nasibnya aja. Brett tu orang yg baik loh, ga kayak Edwin. Dia menenangkan Terri yg marah nggak jelas ke Henry. Dia jg ga marah ke Kinar walo Kinar gagal di Detour. Ah, kasian...
Ngomong2, babak ini adalah episode terbaik sejauh ini, kecuali hasilnya.
Hahaha, finally today is the last ordinary Wednesday this semester. As you can read at many of previous entries, Wednesday this semester is the busiest and most exhausting day for me since I had lectures from 7 AM up until 5 PM. Since next week is already the final-exams week, so today is officially the last s*ck Wednesday!! hahaha....
Anyway, this morning I got up at 6.43 AM and I think I didn't sleep really well last night. As a result, I was SO sleepy on my first lecture and couldn't concentrate... :( Dang It. Okay, since I had a 2 hrs break from 9 AM till 11 AM, so I decided to go back to my boarding house and had a sleep for about 1 hr, hehe... ;) That worked!! Eventho during my sleep I had an annoying dream (I dreamt about getting up late today (at almost 3 PM)), hahaha.... .
Btw, since Bandung has been SO HOT these days in the afternoon, plus since in the last 3 days there have been a temporary canteen (until next Friday, I already asked the seller there), so I bought ice cream there every afternoon, hahaha.... ;) The weather has been so weird, in the afternoon it's SO HOT, but a few hours later it rains, hmm...

Hahaha, akhirnya hari ini adalah hari Rabu biasa terakhir saya semester ini. Seperti yang bisa dibaca di banyak posting2 sebelumnya nih, Rabu semester ini adalah hari paling sibuk dan melelahkan buat saya soale aku ada kuliah dari jam 7 pagi sampe jam 5 sore. Nah, karena minggu depan udah minggu ujian akhir, jadi hari ini adalah hari Rabu sial*n terakhir!! hahaha....
Ngomong2, pagi tadi aku bangun jam 6.43 pagi dan aku rasa aku nggak nyenyak deh tidurnya semalem. Nah, sebagai hasilnya, aku SANGAT ngantuk bgt tadi di kuliah pertama dan gabisa konsentrasi... :( Sialan koq. Oke, karena aku ada istirahat 2 jam (dari jam 9 pagi sampe jam 11), aku memutuskan buat balik ke kos dan tidur lagi sekitar sejam-an, hehe... ;) Ternyata berhasil!! Walo pas tidur aku malah mimpi yang menyebalkan sih (aku mimpi kalo aku bangunnya telat (hampir jam 3 sore)), hahaha.... .
Btw, karena Bandung akhir2 ini SANGAT PANAS di siang hari, plus karena 3 hari belakangan ini ada kantin sementara (sampe Jumat besok kata si penjualnya), jadi aku beli es krim deh di kantin sementara itu tiap siang, hahaha.... ;) Lha cuacanya juga aneh banget tuh, di siang hari PANAS BGT, beberapa jam kemudian malah hujan, hmm...
A lot of things were going on this day, haha... :) I got up at 6.43 AM and my first and only lecture of Monday was at 7 AM. We had a plan to have the first "Kompetisi Matematika 2008" (2008 Math Competition) meeting at 10 this morning. Okay, so after class I went to the office and tried to book a classroom for the meeting. While I was working on it, my friend called me to come over to my other friend's boarding house because she was so terribly sick. She couldn't move (it hurt while she was trying to move). What?? OMG, so I went to her boarding house and yea, she was sick. Okay, after about 15 minutes there, finally we could bring her to my car and went to Borromeus Hospital at Dago. Once there, my friend brought her to the ICU (just to get a quick treatment) and I parked my car. Apparently, it was not so time-consuming, haha (I thought we would be there like hours). At 10.10 AM we could leave the hospital (after the doctor gave her a check and prescription).
Then, I could make it to the meeting (30 minutes before I informed my friend that I wouldn't make it, haha, but since it was quick, I still could make it eventho I was late). Haha, after the meeting, I finally could have brunch, I was like starving at that time.
On afternoon, I booked Merpati's tickets, and since the time limit was 4 PM this afternoon, so I went to Merpati right from campus. Haha, finally I got my tickets. I'm going back to Bandung for FRS on 9th January 2008, then I'm going back to Yogyakarta to continue my holiday for a week at 12th January 2008 (I'm gonna spend 2 days in Bandung, 1 day for college thingy, and 1 day for my car yearly-maintenance, hehe... :D). I hope it's enough...
Btw, this evening I watched the fifth episode of TAR 12. All teams traveled from Burkina Faso to Lithuania. Kynt & Vyxsin had a good lead after the Road-Block, but since they changed Detour, it made TK & Rachel had the chance to pass them. And therefore they were 2nd. Shana & Jennifer and Nathan & Jennifer had arguments within their teams, haha... ;) The U-Turn caused the tense between Shana & Jennifer apparently. In the end, Shana & Jennifer were eliminated.

Banyak hal yang terjadi di hari ini, haha... :) Aku bangun jam 6.43 pagi soale kulaihku satu2nya dan pertama di hari ini adalah jam 7 pagi. Kita ada rencana untuk mengadakan rapat "Kompetisi Matematika 2008" jam 10 pagi ini sih. Oke deh, habis kuliah aku pergi ke kantornya dan mencoba untuk pesen ruangan untuk rapatnya. Nah, waktu aku lagi mengusahakannya, temenku telpon buat dateng ke kosnya temenku yg lainnya, soalnya dia bener-bener sakit parah tuh. Dia nggak bisa gerak (kalo gerak katanya sakit gitu). Apa?? OMG, jadi ya uda aku segera pergi ke kosnya dan beneran, lagi sakit parah bgt gitu. Oke, habis 15 menit disana gitu akhirnya kita bisa menggotong dia ke mobilku dan pergi ke Rumah Sakit Borromeus di Dago. Disana, temenku bawa dia ke UGD (biar cepet ditangani sih) dan aku parkir mobilku. Eh, ternyata disananya nggak lama-lama amat, haha (aku pikir bakal beberapa jam tuh disana). Jam 10.10 pagi kita bisa balik dari Rumah Sakitnya (habis dokternya ngecek dia dan ngasi resep obat).
Lalu, aku bisa dateng tuh ke rapatnya (30 menit sebelumnya aku ngasi tau temenku kalo aku gabisa dateng tuh, haha, tapi karena di RSnya cepet jadi bisa deh dateng walaupun telat). Haha, habis rapat, akhirnya saya bisa makan pagi tuh, saya LAPER banget spanjang hari tadi.
Siangnya, aku pesen tiket Merpati dan karena time-limitnya jam 4 sore tadi, ya udah aku langsung aja ke Merpati habis dari kampus. Haha, akhirnya aku dapet tiketku nih. Aku akan balik Bandung untuk FRS tanggal 9 Januari 2008, trus aku balik lagi ke Yogyakarta untuk melanjutkan liburan selama seminggu tanggal 12 Januari 2008 (aku akan di Bandung 2 hari tuh, sehari buat ngurus segala keperluan kampus, trus sehari buat ngurus perawatan-tahunan mobilku, hehe... :D). Moga2 cukup la waktunya...
Btw, malem tadi aku nonton episode kelima dari TAR 12. Semua tim pergi dari Burkina Faso ke Lithuania. Kynt & Vyxsin sebenernya lumayan memimpin tuh setelah Road-Block, sayang aja mereka mesti tukar tugas di Detour, jadinya kan TK & Rachel jadi bisa nyalip mereka. Akhirnya mereka tim nomer 2 deh. Btw, Shana & Jennifer dan Nathan & Jennifer bentrok dikit tuh dalam tim, haha... ;) U-Turn ternyata memberikan ketegangan di antara Shana & Jennifer. Akhirnya, Shana & Jennifer tereliminasi.
This week is really a busy week for me, I got a lot of things to be done. Now I'm left with a few more, hehehe.... ;) Anyway, I dunno why but sometimes when I read a Horoscope in Friendster, it's true!! Hmmm..... . Just like yesterday when it said I gotta watch my wallet, and that's SO TRUE!! Hahaha, I'm definitely a bit 'royal' alias over my budget this month.... :( I usually dun like reading Horoscope, but I dunno why, FS' one is good I think, and it's also wise, not straight-forward to the point.
Btw, this evening I watched the second leg of TARA 2. All teams stayed in The Philippines. On the Road-Block, one team member gotta plough a rice field. On The Detour, they gotta choose between Heels of Wheels. The choice of Detour is a lot better than the previous leg (I would have chosen Heels since I'm terribly bad on mechanical things, hehe... :D). Edwin was so hard on Monica, poor Monica, hmm, probably because he was so stressed. They were the bottom two and they were marked for elimination, hmm... . Anyway, the final placing: 1. Marc & Rovilson (no surprise); 2. Paula & Natasha; 3. Ann & Diane; 4. Pamela & Vanessa; 5. Adrian & Collin; 6. Brett & Kinaryosih; 7. Sophie & Aurelia; 8. Daichi & Sawaka; 9. Henry & Terri; 10. Edwin & Monica (ELIMINATED). Anyway, the good news is that apparently Edwin & Monice had broken up (after 10 years of relationship), huahahaha, good for Monica... ;)
I dunno, after some things that happened on The Forum, I begin to lose my respect to one team. In other hands, I start to like another team (Sophie & Aurelia), hahaha... ;)
::: Brett & Kinaryosih ripping off the first clue at the pitstart
::: Kinaryosih at The Road-Block. She was so hilarious by trying to RIDE the carabou while actually she gotta plow the rice-field with that carabou!! hahaha....
::: Edwin & Monica arriving last at the pitstop. Poor Monica (but NOT Edwin)
::: Edwin & Monica, the first team to be eliminated

Minggu ini bener2 sibuk buat saya, aku ada banyak hal yang musti diselesaikan. Skarang sih dah tersisa sedikit lagi sih, hehehe.... ;) Ngomong2, gatau kenapa tapi kalo baca Horoskop di Friendster, koq bener yah!! Hmmm..... . Misalnya nih kemarin gitu katanya aku mesti memperhatikan dompet dan itu BENAR SEKALI!! Hahaha, aku bener2 'royal' alias melebihi budget dah bulan ini.... :( Biasanya aku nggak suka baca Horoskop, tapi gatau kenapa yang di FS adalah yang bagus menurutku, dan itu juga nggak langsung tepat sasaran gitu kata2nya.
Btw, malem tadi aku nonton babak kedua dari TARA 2. Semua tim tetap tinggal di Filipina. Di Road-Block, satu anggota mesti membajak sawah. Di Detour, mereka mesti milih satu di antara Heels atau Wheels. Pilihan Detour-nya lebih bagus daripada minggu lalu menurut saya (kalo aku sih bakal milih Heels soale aku bener2 parah dalam urusan mekanik, hehe... :D). Edwin keras banget sama Monica, kasian Monica, hmm, mungkin karena dia stress kali yah. Mereka ada di 2 terendah dan mereka ditandai akan eliminasi, hmm... . Akhirnya, urutan terakhirnya: 1. Marc & Rovilson (nggak kaget ah); 2. Paula & Natasha; 3. Ann & Diane; 4. Pamela & Vanessa; 5. Adrian & Collin; 6. Brett & Kinaryosih; 7. Sophie & Aurelia; 8. Daichi & Sawaka; 9. Henry & Terri; 10. Edwin & Monica (TERELIMINASI). Ngomong2, berita bagusnya ternyata sekarang Edwin & Monica udah putus loh (setelah pacaran selama 10 tahun), huahahaha, bagus deh buat Monica... ;)
Gatau kenapa habis satu dua hal yang terjadi di forum, aku mulai nggak respek sama salah satu tim. Di sisi lain, aku mulai suka sama satu tim lagi (Sophie & Aurelia), hahaha... ;)
Anyway, yesterday I wacthed the fourth episode of TAR 12 in Burkina Faso. A new twist on the race was introduced, which is a "U-Turn". A U-Turn is a tool which gives power to a team to force the other team to do another Detour that other team didn't do (so the U-Turned Team gotta complete both the Detour Task). A U-Turn is placed after a Detour. Haha, so U-Turn is even more evil than a Yield. On this leg, Shana & Jennifer U-Turned Lorena & Jason because Shannifer thought Lorena & Jason were right behind them (and actually it was TK & Rachel who were right behind them since Lorena & Jason were still so far behind). Of course, this caused the elimination of Lorena & Jason. Anyway, for the third time, Azaria & Hendekea won the leg!! haha, they are smart people and they raced smartly, great job...
Anyway, today my friends and I went to Paris van Java and we wacthed Enchanted. It was a comedy-fantasy-musical film, and of course it's not 'very me', hahaha... :) Anyway, I could enjoy it eventho I don't love it. My full review can be read here. Btw, there was a funny experience. When I watched the movie, it was (accidentally) cut on the middle!! wakakakaka.... :)) I never had such an experience like that before!! haha
Arrrggghhh, tomorrow I have 2 quizes and 1 homework to be completed!! Dang It!! :(

Ngomong2, kemarin aku nonton episode keempat dari TAR 12di Burkina Faso. Sebuah 'alat' baru diperkenalkan di episode ini, yaitu "U-Turn" (putar balik). U-Turn adalah alat yang bisa memberikan kuasa kepada satu tim untuk memaksa tim lain melakukan tugas Detour yang belum dilakukan tim yang di-u-turn itu (jadi tim yang di-U-turn mesti melakukan semua tugas Detour). U-Turn ditempatkan setelah Detour. Haha, jadinya U-Turn tu lebih kejam daripada Yield yah. Di babak ini, Shana & Jennifer me-u-turn Lorena & Jason soale Shannifer ngira Lorena & Jason ada tepat di belakang mereka (padahal yg tepat di belakang mereka sih TK& Rachel tuh soale Lorena & Jason masih jauh di belakang mereka). Makanya, ini jelas mengakibatkan tereliminasinya Lorena & Jason. Ngomong2, untuk ketiga kalinya, Azaria & Hendekea juara satu!! haha, mereka orang pintar dan mereka ikutan lombanya juga pintar tuh, hebat...
Ngomong2, tadi aku sama temen2ku pergi ke Paris van Java buat nonton Enchanted. Ini adalah film musikan-fantasi-komedi, dan tentu saja nggak 'aku banget', hahaha... :) Ngomong2, bisa aku nikmati sih walau gak bener2 suka sama tipe filmnya. Review lengkap saya bisa dibaca disini. Btw, ada pengalaman lucu. Waktu lagi nonton, masak ya di tengah-tengah, filmnya (gak sengaja) kepotong!! wakakakaka.... :)) Aku gak pernah mengalami pengalaman kaya gitu sebelumnya!! haha
Arrrggghhh, besok akan ada 2 kuis dan 1 PR nih untuk diselesaikan!! Sialan!! :(
Hahaha, I dunno what to write, since my weekend has been just ordinary. Anyway, arrrgghhh, next week is gonnabe so busy for me, so many things are due this week, huh!! :(
Anyway, I dunno why but this evening I really wanted to eat pizza. Okay, so I went to Pizza Hut and bought a pan-pizza there, hahaha...
Btw, last Friday when my friends and I went to Paris Van Java, I realized that there is an "Auntie's Anne" Pretzel, haha... . My last time eating its pretzel was 4 years ago when I was in Singapore (I bought it at Changi), hahaha... :) At that time somebody (I dun recall) told me to buy it since there WAS NO Auntie's Anne in Indonesia. It's tasty!! :D

Hahaha, gatau nih saya mau nulis apaan, soalnya wiken saya ya biasa-biasa saja tuh. Ngomong2, arrrgghhh, minggu besok akan menjadi sangat sibuk buat saya, soale banyak hal yang mesti selesai minggu besok neh, huh!! :(
Ngomong2, gatau kenapa tapi sore tadi rasanya aku pengen banget makan pizza. Oke deh, jadi aku pergi ke Pizza Hut dan beli sebuah pan-pizza disana, hahaha...
Btw, Jumat kemarin pas aku sama temen2ku ke Paris van Java, aku baru sadar kalo ternyata ada toko Pretzel "Auntie's Anne" loh, haha... . Terakhir kali aku makan pretzelnya tuh 4 tahun lalu pas aku di Singapore (aku beli di Changi), hahaha... :) Pada waktu itu ada yang nyuruh (aku gak inget sapa) aku buat beli soale NGGAK ADA Auntie's Anne di Indonesia. Enak loh!! :D
