#325 - Mixed Mixed

ENGLISH

Since yesterday the damn f**king slow connection really ruined my schedule to post an entry, so this entry is kinda so mixed up about many some things.

Yesterday I watched the 10th episode (and leg) of The Amazing Race 11. All teams left Kuala Lumpur to Hong Kong. Well, now I have more respect to Charla&Mirna. Charla is a dwarf, but apparently they chose "Kungfu Fighting" for the Detour Task, not "Lost In Translation". In "Kungfu Fighting", they had to climb up an 11-story bamboo scaffold while avoiding an ongoing battle between stunt kung fu experts to reach the top and retrieve their next clue. While in "Lost In Translation", they had to search among hundreds of similar-looking Chinese signs for the specific sign shown in a photo in their clue.

Well, everyone would have thought Charla&Mirna would take the "Lost In Translation" Detour due to Charla's 'handicap', but they didn't!! They (especially Charla) proved that being dwarf doesn't mean she can't do anything normal people can do. That spirit was kinda touching. I think I like this team even more. Charla also did the Road-Block when she had to act like in typical Hong Kong Movies, kicking many doors in an old building... :) The final placing: Oswald&Danny (1), Dustin and Kandice (2), Charla&Mirna (3), and Eric&Danielle (4 >> NOT ELIMINATED). Btw, from these 4 remaining teams, I'm hoping the final three would be Charla&Mirna, Dustin&Kandice, and Eric&Danielle since they are hating (or at least not liking) each other, while Oswald&Danny were kinda in the middle of it.

Next week I'm 1000% sure it's gonnabe in / MACAU (yep, 2 weeks ago my parents went to Macau, he3... :D).

Btw, today just as usual, was an exhausting day for me, whatta typical Tuesday this semester. I got up at 6.50 AM and my first lecture started at 7 AM. Well, nothing so special happened today... . Like what I said, twas only a typical Tuesday

Btw, last weekend I watched American Dreamz. Wow, twas cool I think. I think this move was a mockery to the US right now. The host of the reality show 'American Dreamz' (a replica of American Idol), Martin Tweed, I think was "inspired" by Simon Cowell, his British Accent, sarcastic-but-honest feedbacks, etc. The US President, terrorist group, ambitious girl who would do everything to get her dream, manipulations, etc, well, I think all of them were a big mockery to the condition in The United States recently. Btw, one contestant in American Dreamz was a male rocker with long hair and his name was Bobby. Hmm, that was clear this character was a replica of Bo Bice (runner up of American Idol season 4), wakakakakaka... :D I think this was an interesting movie to watch. If I have to score, hmmm, I think I score it 8/10.

Btw, I'm kinda confused with the schedule of Indonesian Idol this season. Last night, coincidentally, I switched my TV to RCTI at 11.40 PM and last night was the top 12 boys performance!! Hmm, I didn't watch all of them, but according to the review tape in the end of the show, none of them was really stunning... :(

Arrrgghhh, next Saturday there's gonnabe another extra-class (Discrete Math) since my lecturer cancels tomorrow's class... :( Why?? Why Saturday (again, 2 weeks in a row)?? :(

::: Uchenna&Joyce, the seventh team to be eliminated (last week)

Karena kemarin koneksi yang bener-bener luambat buanget bener-bener menghancurkan rencana saya buat nge-post postingan, jadi entry ini mungkin agak kecampur2 deh tentang banyak beberapa hal.

Kemarin aku nonton episode kesepuluh dari The Amazing Race 11. Semua tim meninggalkan Kuala Lumpur menuju Hong Kong. Hmm, sekarang aku makin respek loh sama Charla&Mirna. Charla tu cebol, tapi ternyata kemarin mereka malah memilih melakukan tugas Detour "Kungfu Fighting", bukan "Lost In Translation". Di "Kungfu Fighting" mereka harus memanjat susunan bambu setinggi 11 lantai sambil menghindari pertarungan antara pemeran pengganti film-film kung fu untuk mencapai puncaknya dan mendapatkan petunjuk selanjutnya. Sementara di "Lost in Translation", mereka harus mencari dari ratusan papan iklan berhuruf Mandarin yang mirip-mirip untuk mencari papan yang bener seperti yang ada di foto.

Hmm, semua bakal mikir kalo Charla&Mirna akan ngambil Detour "Lost In Translation" karena 'kekurangan' Charla, tapi mereka enggak!! Mereka (terutama Charla) membuktikan bahwa menjadi cebol bukan berarti dia gabisa melakukan apa yang orang normal bisa lakukan. Semangatnya itu lumayan menggugah loh. Kayaknya sih aku makin suka tim ini. Charla juga melakukan tugas Road-Block dimana dia harus bertindak seperti bintang film Hong Kong, nendang banyak pintu di gedung tua... :) Urutan akhirnya: Oswald&Danny (1), Dustin and Kandice (2), Charla&Mirna (3), dan Eric&Danielle (4 >> NGGAK TERELIMINASI). Btw, dari 4 tim yang tersisa, aku harap si tiga besarnya bakalan Charla&Mirna, Dustin&Kandice, dan Eric&Danielle soale mereka membenci (paling nggak nggak menyukai) satu sama lain, sementara Oswald&Danny berada agak di tengah2nya.

Minggu depan aku 1000% yakin tugasnya bakalan ada di / MACAU (yep, 2 minggu lalu ortuku pergi ke Macau, he3... :D).

Btw, hari ini seperti biasa, hari yang melelahkan buat saya, Selasa yang tipikal semester ini. Aku bangun jam 6.50 pagi dan kuliah pertama mulai jam 7 pagi. Nggak ada yang spesial si terjadi hari ini... . Kayak kata-kataku barusan, Selasa yang gitu-gitu aja.

Btw, wiken kemarin aku nonton American Dreamz loh. Wow, menurutku keren. Kayake sih film ini tuh merupakan ejekan terhadap Amerika belakangan ini. Pembawa acara reality show 'American Dreamz' (ejekan dari American Idol), Martin Tweed, menurutku tuh "terinspirasi" oleh Simon Cowell, logat British-nya, komentar yang kasar-tapi-jujur, dll. Presiden Amerika, grup teroris, cewek ambisius yang melakukan segala sesuatu untuk menggapai mimpinya, manipulasi, dll, hmm, menurutku mereka semua beneran ejekan yerhadap kondisi Amerika saat ini. Btw, salah satu kontestan di American Dreamz ada yang rocker cowok berambut panjang dan bernama Bobby. Jelas banget kan tuh karakter replika dari Bo Bice (runner up American Idol season 4), wakakakakaka... :D Aku rasa film ini menarik loh ditonton. Kalo aku harus nilai, hmmm, nilainya 8/10 deh

Btw, aku jg agak bingung ni sama jadwalnya Indonesian Idol musim ini. Semalem, ga sengaja, aku mindah channel TV ke RCTI jam 11.40 malem, dan ternyata semalem tu penampilan 12 besar yang cowo!! Hmm, aku ga nonton smua si, tapi berdasarkan review di akhir acaranya, aku rasa ga ada deh yang bener-bener memukau... :(

Arrrgghhh, besok Sabtu bakalan ada kelas ekstra lagi (Mat Diskret) soale dosenku membatalkan kelas besok... :( Kenapa?? Kenapa Sabtu (lagi, 2 minggu berturut2)?? :(
