I just saw Alanis Morissette's video clip "Everything" and I was surprised. I never thought she's actually pretty in her short hair.

Well.. I'm not a big fan of her. But my admirations for her socially controversial ideas & creativity :)

craving....

Thu, 20 May 2004 06:02:26 GMT

Gue udah berminggu2 craving for lychee fruits (bukan yang kalengan tapi yg fresh masih ada kulitnya)
Gue udah muter2 ke asian market/chinatown di downtown, di uptown, di markham, etc nggak ada yg jual *cries* tapi lengkeng ada.. yah gue pengennya lychee :P
Padahal bulan maret kemaren, gue udah beli sekantong tapi belum enak2 banget, terus pas cari lagi, udah ga ada yg jual..
oh well.. ya sudahlah.. nyari lychee aja kok penuh perjuangan :P hehehe
hopefully minggu2 ini udah ada.. mestinya udah musim.. udah depresi ngidam berminggu2 nih :P

Wah.. udah lama yah gue ga update journal.. ga tau mau isi apa :P hehehe.. lately I feel that somewhat I have a boring life >.<
On the other side.. spring is coming.. *sigh* I already overspent my budget for shopping.. hehehe.. no more shopping.. I still "need" that chanel creme universel foundation.. lol.. it's really what I've been looking for :)
Anyway.. will update this journal later on.. later!

preview night :)

Fri, 20 Feb 2004 04:12:31 GMT

I just watched "Against The Ropes".. hehe.. it's pretty good after all. I know it won't open until tomorrow. I'm lucky enough to got 2 free tickets to watch the preview ;)
Here goes the story.. I was sitting in Burger King on College & Spadina when Burger King's manager came to my table. At first, I was worried she's gonna warns me about the nachos I bought from seven eleven across the street :P Hehehe.. Yes, I wasn't just sitting around, but I bought sandwich from BK. But, guess what? She offers two preview tickets of "Against The Ropes" at Paramount. So I thought why not? I have nothing to lose anyway, right? It's 100% free.. hehe.. And I went to the preview to see Meg Ryan's newest movie :) Based on true story, the movie is about Jackie Kallen the most successful female Boxing manager (promoter). Ah.. I wish it would happen everyday.. :P

still an ENFP :)

Tue, 10 Feb 2004 12:11:52 GMT

I just took the Myers Briggs Personality Test AGAIN! (from similarminds.com) and I'm still an ENFP. Last time, I did on emode.. the result was ENFP..

ENFP - "Journalist". Uncanny sense of the motivations of others. Life is an exciting drama. 8.1% of total population.

Take Free Myers-Briggs Personality Test

what a "great" day!!

Mon, 02 Feb 2004 21:24:43 GMT

GRRRRRRRRRRR.. I'm pissed off.. THE DESIGN DEPARTMENT THREW AWAY MY PRECIOUS AND BELOVED SKETCHIES FROM LAST SEMESTER WITHOUT CONTACTING ME FIRST!!
"You had a week to pick them up" WHAT A REALLY "GOOD" REASON, HUH??
MY INSTRUCTORS NEVER TOLD ME SUCH THINGS.. They said we can get them back anytime after the second week of January.. GEEZ..
Now that I have my portfolio interview in two weeks.. I'm REALLY dead..

new year...

Sat, 03 Jan 2004 11:17:10 GMT

Oops.. looks like I'm a little bit late.. anyways.. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU.. All the best in 2004 :)
Holiday gonna be over soon.. school starts again Monday, Jan 5 *argh.. ga relaaaaa*
mana gue belom switch kelas lagi.. kelas lithography masih penuh aje.. all I want is just spare me one space..

Resolution for 2004: Passing portfolio interview to get my BDes degree and digital certification, starting my very own design/multimedia firm, supporting my brother so he can enter sheridan college for animation in september, loving him more and more :), spending more time with Him, more studious in everything and not skipping classes to promote my GPA :P
That's it for now.. maybe I'll add some more later on..

On the other thing, I went to Asian mall yesterday with some friends.. and we had lunch at Singaporean/Malaysian restaurant.. One of my friends ordered stingray and I thought it was good 'til I got home and I wasn't feeling okay.. sort of nauseous.. weird.. I'm not alergic to seafood at all.. then somebody told me the stingray may still contained poison.. it might had "stung" my system?? but it tasted so good.. :P

enjoying the season...

Fri, 19 Dec 2003 08:05:06 GMT

so.. I finished my exam on dec 7 at 3 PM. I only had two exams this semester since my other classes were practicum (studio) classes with 3 months full of projects >.<
and.. a day after, I got a phone call from the gift wrapping company.. I passed the "test"! :) They invite a bunch of applicants each year for a "test" and hire around 100 gift wrappers for various locations and teach them some techniques. I'm currently working.. enjoying my seasonal job as a gift wrapper.. it's pretty fun actually :) except the part where I burned myself few times >.< because we use glue gun most of the times and everything has to be done quickly. From doughnuts (yes, some people..) to music keyboard (that was a real experience! I couldn't believe I wrapped that huge thing myself :P). The greatest part of the job.. when the costumers smile :) and.. *ehem* giving us some small changes *aka tips*.. ;)
one of my friends, she worked as wrapper too last year and somebody bought her a pair of expensive boots! and sent them to her house just because she talked with the costumer and she told him the boots (that were meant to be wrapped) were nice et cetera.. she was so lucky ;) Somebody got me a box of Lindt Gourmet Truffles today :) So we ended up eating chocolates..
ah.. some people are really kind.. even we don't know each other..

Ok.. so here it is.. I'm a glass half empty.. NOW

*are these going to be ended soon? when? I think I really need a break pretty soon*

Thu, 13 Nov 2003 00:18:57 GMT

I hate being here. Just simply hate being at this place. This hell computer lab. Too many projects? No.. and yes.. I only slept 1 hour and 30 minutes TODAY. No, I didn't sleep last night. AT ALL.
Pernah nggak sih loe orang ngerasain capek banget physically and mentally?? I'm on that point I think. Gue jadi semakin frustasi ngeliat kerjaan temen2 gue yang bener2 "waaaahhhh" abis.. karena beberapa dari mereka jago bikin illustrations.. sementara, illustrations bukan keahlian gue.. Tapi gue HARUS ambil core courses on illustrations
*which are killing me* and THAT MAKES ME THINK I AM IN THE WRONG PLACE. Jadi ngerasa gue nggak bisa apa2.. Kadang gue mikir, gue pengen nyerah aja.. gue quit dari sekolah.. daripada nggak ada kepastian kayak gini.. mana february/march nanti gue ada portfolio interview lagi untuk bisa dapetin degree in design and digital certification. Belom tentu pass juga, I failed on it this year because I wasn't ready. Do I fail again this time? I'm TIRED!! Why can't I just take photoshop, web and typography courses instead of suffering like this??
Sorry for complaining.. I can't help it.. I just have no idea how I will go through this..

about him..

Tue, 28 Oct 2003 05:56:59 GMT

can't believe it.. I have fever.. my face is swollen.. All over my body is in pain :(
but I thank God.. that you are there :) for squiring me to the physician.. taking care of me.. cooking for me.. cheering me up.. loving me..
I'm sorry for I'm not giving you my best but I promise, I will..

sorry!

To all my LJ friends :
I haven't been updating my journal for 2 weeks! I'm really begging your pardon.. I've been really busy with a bunch of projects (1 semester = 12 meetings = has 8 projects/course and I'm taking 2 practicum course + 2 theory courses with some researches + essays). I almost dont have time to take a breath :( Pengen Liburrrrrrrrrr Bangetttt :( can't wait till December.. But the practicum classes are pretty fun.. till I count on the pressure.. and from week to another week, my classes are getting smaller and smaller (because some people drop the courses).
Ok, don't wanna talk about school again. *change topic* Suddenly I remember a song.. sweet song.. reminds me the memories of my junior high school.. and also my old crush.. hehe.. I had crush on him for 2 years but later I fell to another guy :P here it is:

I'm Missing You
by Meja

I miss your love
since you've been gone
I find it hard to go on

The summer sky,
don't mean a thing
I thought I'd always be strong
I got a feeling inside
And it's making my heart cry
'cause

I'm missing you
And it's making me blue.. yeah
I'm missing you
But what can I do
Thousand miles away
from you

So here I am,
and everything's new
I should be happy in love

But all I know
I look deep in my eyes
I've never felt so alone
And this feeling inside
It's making my heart cry
'cause

I'm missing you
And it's making me blue.. yeah
I'm missing you
But what can I do
Thousand miles away..
from you

So what's the meaning of this
To be living like this
It ain't no fun at all
I wonder where are you now
(I wonder where are you now)

I miss your love since you been gone
I find it hard to go on
And this feeling inside
I just break down and cry

G5

Wed, 01 Oct 2003 23:02:29 GMT

I'm in computer lab.. having a practicum class :P I'm supposed to work on my project but let me just take a "short break" hehe.. I can't help myself to play around with Apple G5!! :P It's pretty cool except the keyboard & mouse.. Why? Because the mouse and the keyboard are off white. Especially the keyboard.. it would go dirty easily. the grey mouse & keyboard from G4 were much better, again, in my own opinion. But yes, G5 is a way faster than G4 for sure. Okay.. enuf for now.. my instructor is going to explain something :P

Yesterday, I went to the universities fair, accompanied my brother who will enter the university next year. Took the subway to downtown. Because I thought I couldn't find the tunnel that is connecting to Metro Convention Centre, I decided to stop by. While I was looking at the map on the wall, a man approached me from the left side. He seemed very panic and he said,"excuse me.. I want to go to Montreal.. which way?"
and I thought it was so weird to ask such question because Montreal is like 4-5 hours driving from Toronto.
Before I had a chance to reply him, he talked again,"I just get off from the VIA train. I saw the tall and big tower, what is called?",
"CN tower," I answered him.
"Oh yeah yeah.. I need to go to Montreal, not Toronto."
"You should go to there *pointed the building across* Information and ticket booths for VIA trains are there."
"No no no.. can I take the subway?"
"No, you can't, subway is not going to Montreal. It's a local train."
"Oh okay okay.. thank you."
Hmmm.. this man was hundred miles away from his original destination. I wonder how he astrayed for that far? o_0

crashed down..

I know I haven't updated my journal for a longgggggg time.. my apologies for not giving any comments since I just got back from Jakarta.. I hardly spent time for internet when I was in Indo. Now, school has started.. stressed me up since I can't take 1 core course (without this course, I won't be able to take many of upper level courses)
Tried to talk to the department.. they wouldn't understand my situation as I thought before.. They just said,"You can't because you're not in this program even though you're going to join this program next year that means you only can take this course next year. Sorry, we can't give you permission. It is reserved for the program."
I couldn't explain myself when I heard those lines. You guess.
I couldn't imagine what will I take next year? Only doing one or two courses in one semester? Wasting my time? I don't know.. My heart is breaking everytime I think about it and now I can't stop thinking about this.. ever since, the fact that I caught myself in tears. Struggling a lot.
No matter how hard I try to tell them. Their answer is no, nah, negative. Period.
Just one thing I should say.. I'm half alive these days.. Thinking about the future.. my parents.. time.. and everything that is dealing with my school.. Yes, it costs me almost everything to learn what I really wanted to learn.. I have no choice for now.. Unless God grants me His miracles..
Just to be alone here. Myself. Miserable.

---> excuse me <---

Sun, 17 Aug 2003 05:07:40 GMT

Sorry for all of my LJ friends.. I haven't been updating my LJ since 2-3 weeks ago probably and I haven't been replying your comments.. I'm in Indonesia now (Jakarta) and the internet at my home is very very very slow.. (tell you this: it is much slower than regular dial up connection in Indo)
Okay.. now the time for the story.. :P I haven't done much things since I came few days ago actually. Yesterday.. I was hanging around with some friends.. it was fun!! :D
We were about to watch movie (Tomb Raider) at PS (Plaza Senayan) but the movie was so late so we decided to have dinner instead and do some shoppings ;)
After 9 PM.. we went to Grand Hyatt.. *nge-lounge* (read: lounging around/chilling around) at Burgundy. And, yessss.. there were security and police officers all around.. My handbag got checked 4 times before entering the lounge :P hehehe.. they were using bomb detectors (I guess Marriotts bombing case forces every hotel/public place to do so)
But hell, the place was quite nice.. chit-chat and jazz music.. though honestly, I was expecting more jazz thingy.. :P Not only Norah Jones and few famous jazz songs.
I arrived at home at 1.15 AM and.. yeah.. my dad yelled at me.. but I know it's partly my mistake too.. hehe.. this is Jakarta.. you know about the security stuffs..
alrite, I bet it's all about.. ^^ Definitely, one thing I would never forget :P

hot nerdies..

Mon, 28 Jul 2003 08:11:17 GMT

can't believe I miss the way his lips touching mine.. the time that we spent.. the thoughts that we shared.. until the day we were apart.. and now, it's just a picture of the past..
it's no reason why I'm thinking about my ex-bf.. hehe.. just suddenly came up to my mind..
yes, I always fall into a geek.. cool & cute guy isn't actually my type at all.. Hot nerds.. they really make me into them.. LoL.. sexy hotties with brains.. we can talk about anything till dawn.. hmm.. Not many of them in the real world.. Speaking of imagination, Peter Parker is totally my guy.. Damn lucky Mary Jane :P *sigh*
anyway.. it's just a random thought from me.. at 4 AM in the morning.. hehe..

Woke up at 1.45 in the afternoon.. it felt so great.. I'm not a morning person..
Got a message from a friend.. telling me that he *still* can't forget & forgive his ex-gf.. in the fact that he still miss her after splitting up with her for more than 8 months.. Love takes time to heal, I know..
but if that somebody wasn't meant to be with you.. would you just keep all memories about him/her instead of opening up your heart?
I'd been there before *few times* : It's hard to leave it all behind.. However, we may not be ready for someone else.. that's perfectly fine..
But, we should see the reality.. face it.. it's all over. Don't be so melancholy and gloomy all the times. You have to learn the lesson. We can't change the past. We live in the present. The future is in between. Earn lessons from the past. Live our lives.
