girls are, boys are

I didn't have any time to write anything that I wanted to yesterday, except for that thing abt the promotion. Wakkakaka.
Well, then I'll do another today+yesterday post, because I actually had some things I wanted to say yesterday but I didn't get the chance to. Hahaha.

Wait, first, I really miss my friend, you see, I have this friend and we haven't talked for like weeks. Well we did, today, but it wasn't like before, hahah. Man I miss it alot... :P
Hahahha. Sorry, I acted on impulse, I just saw this thing online which made me miss old times, so I had to write that. Wakakakaka.

Ummm, okayyyyy.... hahhaah.
So anywaaaaayyyssss, about yesterday, I didn't have any time to write mainly because I had a truckload of work and stuff to do, which I crammed to finish and didn't even get to do some because I came home late.
Ultimately I slept at 12.30 AM this morning, and hardly got 5 hours of sleep.
I woke up with an aching body... all because I got home late.
And guess why I came home late? Huahuahuah, I had my CCA yesterday... volleyball.
I was so close to escaping volleyball yesterday though, hahha, but being a 'good' student, I don't skip, or do anything stupid. Buakkakakkakakk.
Yeah, So, I'll explain properly.
Yesterday I was really sick of school after sitting in for physics. We had a lot of hw, more than usual so I thought that I'd rather just go home and not play volleyball. Hhahhaa..
So that idea actually came from the seed of pure laziness, and it turned into an action, and miraculously, I actually got permission to skip CCA. Wahahaha.
I told Mr.Ibnu, that I had alot to do so he let me go, but for some reason after that, I felt like playing.
Hhahahahah. How retarded. So I joined.
The coach was this guy called Pak Imam something.
He's nice but slightly biased.
Anyways, it was more tiring than I thought, hahhahah, and it hurts.

Ok enough about volley. I'm glad I didn't miss it though. It was actually fun.
:D

So yesterday, I lost 50.000.
If found, pls return to me. It's folded and not a new note.
I think I dropped it in the canteen or toilet. Hahhaha.

We did something interesting yesterday.
Hahhaha. The day before, Ms. Dorothy Joy Cartagena asked us to read this article frm the internet, frm the times magazine.
It's about the difference between girls and boys in making and keeping relationships. I don't know, something like that.
Then the next day(which was yesterday), she did this activity for us, where the board was divided into 2 parts.
The boys would have to complete the sentence "Girls are..." and the girls would have to complete the sentence "Boys are...".
It was interesting to see what we wrote abt each other. Some were true, others were not, but nonetheless, that's what they think abt us, and now we know.

As for today, i'm so glad it's the end of the week.
This has probably been one of the most punishing weeks ever for me. Hahhha.
Well, it's okay I guess.
Hhahah. Wait, I actually wanted to write abt something, but I forgot what it was...

Anyways, I'm suddenly happy :D hahahhahahahhaha :D infact, as I'm writing this, I'm beaming, and since I'm so happy I don't even care that I forgot what I was gonna write. Hahahha.
Goodnight :D

promotion!! hahhaha

Okkk, I only have time for a super quick post, but it's important(i guess). I actually have stuff to write abt today hahha, but I have too many things to do, and only found time to write this because coincidentally, I had to open an article online too, so I thought, might as well write something quick...Hhaha.
I have more stuff to write abt my daily life but I'm writing this because someone asked me to promote something for her, so I'm doing it, by posting it up here, hahah though, I doubt it's not much of a promotion.
Btw, you might have seen this on youtube, or on facebook... it's great...
hahaha.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lvtae5WbOo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByZl7oHSO-U

If you're wondering what videos these are, they are videos of a rising star :P. Hhahaha. It's singing, young talent. Wakakkaka. The ppl in these videos are RICS students btw.

The first link is their own song in Indonesian called 'Kamu' and the second one is a cover of Michael Buble's Everything.
Personally, I like the first one very much :)
It's great, jazzy, and gives you that awesome feeling.
My only regret, though, is that these cannot be downloaded(i think).
Ask Meidi for more info. Wkakakak, btw, she's the one who asked my to promote these.
The singer(left side) is Meidi, the one playing the guitar(right side) is Demas.
Meidi's singing is awesome right?
Hahhaha. She'll get signed oneday.

I'm gonna write more stuff abt today tomorrow. Because... yeah. Hhaha.

today + yesterday

Yesterday, I didn't go online. Hahahha. It's the first time in ages I didn't go online for the entire day. Wakakkaka.
Anyways, There is a reason for that. Yesterday, I had too many things to do and my whole body was aching(I'll get to that later). Hahahhaha.
Since I wasn't online yesterday, I didn't get to blog what I really wanted to, so I'm doing what I should have yesterday, and doing what I'm supposed to do today, which is write!
:D Hahahha.
I'll write in points.

1. Well, first of, I'll start with this; yesterday we had P.E. yeah... P.E... and since I havent' excercised in a long time, it was good, but at the same time, it sucked, if you know what I mean. Hahhaha. It isn't half as bad as basketball practice though wakakkaka. We just had to run for 7 minutes, no stopping allowed, do the retarded ABC runs, do suicide once and then we're done with the warm up. It's only the warm up that usually hurts. Hahhaha. After that we learned how to do an underpass in volleyball, hahha but now, I sorta regret choosing volley as my CCA. I didn't realize that it's actually tiring. This year, I was trying to avoid any tiring CCA's. Well damn... hahha. I wonder if I can change CCA now. Hahhaha. Well it'll be good to learn something new right? Hahhaha.

2. I did not originally intend to write about this because I sorta forgot about it..., but I saw Jamie Oliver on TV yesterday, so it kinda reminded me of my English class. It doesn't directly have anything to do with Jamie Oliver, but like before, we had to make a story according to a picture in our textbook, and yeah. This time, sadly I wasn't grouped with David, hahahha, David, Jote, and I are were like the group who were always stuck together, well until last week or something. Hahhaa. This time, it was just Me, Jote, Vania, and Ben.
Well, I sorta missed David's prescence, and imagination, but this time, hahah our story was none other than retarded again. Like last time, we included Michael Jackson. It's really weird. I think it's sorta getting a bit cliche by now, hahah, but everyday, Jonathan, just has to say something about Michael Jackson, and we always end up writing about him.
We were given a picture of the Live Aid concert. I noticed some people climbing onto the stage, so we started with the sentence;
Although a blizzard occured, the angry mob, continued to attack the performers.
Or something like that. Anyways, our story is incredibly fast-paced, and basically, many of the 'mobsters' died because of being electrocuted(well thats what you get for attacking people with electric guitars right?), then instead of using all the Live Aid, charity concert money, the people had to pay for all the dead people's graves. Then yeah. After that, the Michael Jackson part comes in and the same old routine... someone else commits suicide.
Well for some reason that's always the format.


as for today...
Well actually nothing interesting happened. Not really anyways.

1. Hahahha, we had English today, and we played taboo. Interesting game. Pretty fun, hahha.

2. Yeah! We played a game during our Chinese lesson. Hahhaha. It was actually quite fun, better than studying anyway. Hahhaha. It's actually not really a game, it's more like a test. So yeah, we have to partner up(chosen by Mr.LiuBin), and then one partner has to write what Mr.LiuBin says, on the board and the other one corrects it. We have to write the chinese character, pinyin, and meaning -_-. Hahhaha.
Anyway it was better than studying, and, hahahha the winner is supposed to get 5 extra coursework marks :P. We're gonna have this sorta test every week now hahha. It sucks, but oh well. Hahahh.
BTW, my partner was Monique(who is Chinese), so we won :P hahhahah. Thanksies Monique :))) Hahhaha.

3. Hahahha Oliver is now officially 'gay'(jk). He said so himself :P Wakakka. Well thats what you get for hanging out with girls all the time. Hahahhah.

somewhere far

Aaaahhh tomorrow is Monday. We have P.E. tomorrow and even if it's not with Mr.Max anymore, I'm still super lazy to exercise. I haven't had P.E. in like 2 months or something. Hahhaa.
I'm even more lazy to awaken early in the morning, sleep-deprived.
I'm lazy to do whatever homework I will have for tomorrow.
I'm also lazy to go to school itself. Wakkakaka, there are so many things I don't want to face in there. But of course, running away from stuff you don't want to face is not healthy... haha.

But seriously, I want to go somewhere faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrr away for a looooonnngggggg holiday and forget all about everything here, hahah, it's only been like 2 weeks of school, and already, I'm sick of it :P

foggy windows :)

Aaaahhh hahahha I'm feeling really full. The last time I put anything in my mouth was probably a few minutes less than 2pm today.
I was at Social House today for lunch. Hahaha the food there is really good, but what makes it great is the ambiance.
For those who don't know; Social House is this 3rd floor restaurant at Harvey Nichols, Grand Indonesia. It's a really cool place and it has giant, floor-to-ceiling windows that stretch over the main street outside. The restaurant is both high enough to view the skyline and low enough to look at the passing cars with ease through the window. It's actually really relaxing to sit by the window on one of the giant couches.
So it was raining really hard today when I was having my lunch, with my fam, of course. The windows, were closed because of the rain, but I didn't mind, because, .... it was raining.
Hahha. I don't know why, but one of the strangest things about me is that I love the rain(read my post dated the 22nd of July). Okay, my point is, it was really really pretty.
The rain caused the giant windows to fog up, you could view the skyscrapers from inside and see the grey clouds. It was dark outside, the dim yellow glow of the bulbs matched the ambiance perfectly. Inside, it was cozy, even if it wasn't warm, and the loud relaxing music playing inside was no match, in terms of volume, against the even louder pitter-patter of the rain.
It was perfect.
At first, before ordering food, it wasn't actually raining. I was just dark.
When it started raining really hard, I felt happy. Hahha. I felt like I was overseas, looking over the skyline, from the view our table offered.
You could see the grey clouds stretch across the vast sky.
My mum even said that the fog reminded her of snow. Wakakkaa.
It was raining for an hour(?) or so... I think. And It was awesomeeeee :D
Huahauhauhaua.

After lunch, my family and I were walking around Grand Indonesia. That place is hugeeee. Hahhaha we walked from the East to the West Mall. It's definitely more than half a kilometres walk, keeping in mind that in the mall you walk back and forth, up and down, around and around, so at the end, the distance definitely adds up. Hahahah.
When we reached the West Mall, we decided that we just wanted to be picked up right where we were instead of walking back to Harvey Nichols. We called Pak Mairin, our driver to pick us up with the car call system, because we called his handphone several times and it didn't work.
After 10 minutes, he didn't appear at the gate so we just tried and tried to call his phone, but he didn't pick up. For about 30 minutes we waited at the gate.
Time passed and everyone was getting annoyed because we waited for Pak. Mairin and he didn't show up. The rain had stopped at this time. Hahha. We even asked a satpam to look for our car. Still, after about 50 minutes he didn't turn up so then, everyone was annoyed so we got in a taxi and left.
Our conclusion: Pak Mairin fell asleep -_- zzz.
The same thing happened before actually so no one got mad at him. It happened only once before at Pasaraya. I think it was rainy too that day, and my driver doesn't like rain so he usually sleeps. Well I can't blame him. I could sleep really well when it rains, hahah.
It was a good thing that Pak Mairin woke up soon after we reached home. His phone wasn't working the whole time, but it's a good thing that Pak Mairin is really smart(He has a good memory too. He can go somewhere once and instantly remember the route) and somehow he found out that we went home without him.
I'm not 100% sure if he fell asleep, but yeah. What else could it be? How could he make us wait for 50 minutes? Wakakkakakkakak. He's too smart to get lost.

Anyway... I'm feeling okay today. Well I to remember that things come and go, hahah I'm not talking about my friend from the previous post. He'll always be my friend, :) ahhaha, he's one of those people who knows me best.
Anyway I'm talking more about the short term things in your life. Well I know that nothing is permanent but yeah, exactly the point. Nothing is permanent, so it's normal. Hahahhaha. Things in life will leave you. New things in your life will come too. There is a Chinese proverb or something that says you have to let go of the things you are holding before you can recieve more. It's true. Hahahha. It's one of the realities of life. At the end, anyways, all you'll have is yourself.

i didn't know what to call this post

I haven't written in days, hahha.
I don't know, but there are so many things I want to say... so many things have been going on, both inside my head, and outside of it, but I can't say any of it. Not here at least.

Hahha man I need my 'buddy' :P, it's my time of need and he's probably too lazy to go online -_- the last time i chatted with him was like last week, so many things have happened since then wakakakka.
Well it's not like I tell him anything at all. In fact, I don't tell him anything, it's just that chatting with this person is like the best form of stress-relief for me (since he's not there now, I'm dumping all of my stress onto this post).
Hahhaha I hope he's not reading this.
(For my buddy: Anyways if 'you' are reading this now, thanks a lot. You might not know this, but yeah... hahhaha it's fun chatting with you, and as much as I hate to admit it, I miss it, hahahha.)
The word buddy seems so gay hahahah. Let's just call him my friend, because he is.
He's probably ONE of my most trusted friends. I know he doesn't tell anyone anything that I have ever told him because in truth, he has nothing to say about me to anyone, but the fact that I have an extra pair of ears is great.
It's even better that he's who he is, a person who listens but doesn't do anything about anything at all but still responds and is still caring wakakkaka.

Enough about my so-called friend.
I've been a mess these couple of days. Being where I am now, is just not the same as what it was like a few months ago. I don't know, but there's something different. It's the feeling you get when you know you've been forgotten by someone special to you, a hole drilled through your body(not literally), or something like that. It's just a similar feeling, not really how I feel. I don't even know the reason why I'm like this, but it seems to happen once a while.
I guess that's the bad thing about everything being great. When everything is great, nothing can get better, so it gets worse.
Huahuahauhaua. This is the emptiness people fill by watching dramas, reading books, listening to music, but I guess the real way to fill that hole in your life is to feel connected to God again.

Anywaaaaaaaaayyyy I don't think I have anything else to say. I'm just updating my blog as usual. I don't actually expect anyone to read my blog, and in truth, i blog because blogging helps me emotionally, hahah. I reduce stress and anxiety this way and it actually works. Another reason I blog is for fun and to keep track of all those great, and not-so-great moments in my life.

I want to go to Europe, right now, with my family. Hahah how random.

i love the rain

It's raining for the first time in about one month. I love the rain... haahah, I don't know why. It's just that warm and fuzzy feeling I like when you curl up on your bed with a hot drink and the AC on, on a rainy day. I guess it's the feeling of being sheltered and protected under a roof too, which is really soothing too.
And not just any rainy day, it's best when it rains hard and is dark. There's also something about the sound of heavy rain splattering on the roof, and the sound when it splatters against the window, and ground. It's like music to me. I also like it if my window's all misty because of the rain. Hahahhaa.
I think one of my earliest memories of being alive is watching the rain splatter on the porch outside, and me sitting in front of the closed mosquito netted door, being able to feel the cool wind against my face, and hearing the soothing sound of the rain outside.
Maybe that's why I like rainy days.
It's that 'feeling' which is hard to describe unless you like rainy the same way I like them too.
It's all dreamy when it rains :)))

Well, I haven't posted anything yesterday because I had too much homework -_-.
Thats the downside of being sec3. You get homework by the truckload.
Well it's not really the quantity of homework but the difficulty of the work. Hahaha.
It isn't difficult but more thinking time is required to complete the work properly rather.
Wakakakkak... btw, I didn't realize that an extra 2 periods of physics is so mentally tiring.
Well at least it's not like computer, where you could actually sleep, because it's...right after lunch(I've got to watch my words, Mr. Chairul has a blog too :P).
Hahahha anyways it seems like I've got to do some work now. At least I've made some time for blogging something as unimportant as my love for the rain <3

love is delicious (it's a song)

Okay hahahha, I promise this isn't another no-use post.
I just feel like saying something, to me, it's not important at all, but I'm(obviously) still going to share it because,....well... it struck a chord in me.

Yeah, so I was listening to some music yesterday when I came across this artist. The first song I heard from him was Insomnia which is a cover song, but it's okay. Anywyas, yeah I happened to click this link about the same artist in someone's blog and I came across another song, called 'love is sweet'(well thats what it said on the post but I found out later that it's real name is 'love is delicious').
The weird thing was that when I played the song on the blog(out of curiousity), it sounded super super super duper duper familiar. I knew I heard it before somewhere but I couldn't quite place my finger on it, so yeah, seriously, I didn't know where or when I had heard it before. I even thought he copied it or covered some other english song(like he did with 'insomnia') that I had perhaps listened to a long time ago and changed the lyrics to match the language, but then I realized the tune didn't match any english song I know.
I then downloaded it (despite how hard it was to download because of the name confusion -_-) for later reference.
After downloading it I played it a couple of times and it started to sound pretty catchy, but still, I didn't know where I had heard it from.... until a few minutes ago.

Yeah, the thing is this was the first song we ever used for dance club last year.
I know I wasn't a very active dance member, hahah sorry but I really can't dance, but the thing is, chances are, I would remember a tune once I hear it, and I did hear this one a couple of times during dance.
I remember hearing this for the very first time and I thought it was in tagalog! Hhahaah.
After I listened to it the first time it got stuck in my head for a while O.o
Well Mr.Riz, Jen, and Mich performed with this song for science day or something, with their hoodies, while Arin, Van, Jm, Pece, Brenda and I did the traditional Phillipines water dance thingy. Wkwkwkwk.
Wait, I can't remember if that was on the same day...
Anyways, I've made my point with that song.
I'm not 100% sure it's the same song, more like 95% sure.
It's got to be the same song right? Hahahahha.

Sadly though, I don't think they did the same dance in the video :P
Well I can't remember dances well but see for yourself.
Or, listen for yourself, cause I'm only 95% sure it's the same song(you'd know if you were in the dance club last year):
it's called 사랑은 맛있다, or Sarangeun Mashitda, meaning Love is Delicious. Hahah.
Artist: WheeSung

gah

I know this is not actually healthy but I haven't taken my morning shower yet. I've washed but not technically showered. Hahahhaha. And It's 7pm. So I haven't taken my morning or evening shower. Wkwkwkwkwk. But seriously, have you ever felt clean the whole day?
Well anyhow, don't get the impression that I do this everyday. Before you say anything, meet my friend Pece :P (jkjk). This is probably only the 2nd time in my life I'm doing this. Hahahah. Seriously.
Okay, umm so I bought the book I wanted yesterday. Hahahahah. And I insisted paying for this one myself. You know, it's because I want it to be something of my own, my very own. Something that no one else can touch. Well, not that lebay, but something that truly belongs to me, so when I start using it, I can truly say that what I learnt was self taught, since I bought the book myself too.
Only, I'm a bit disappointed that it doesn't contain many words I'm looking for, but yeah, it still helps so I can't say that I'm not grateful.

I can't say I don't miss school.
As strange as it might be, I want to go to school tomorrow. Hahaha. During the holidays, I was dreading school but now I think it's like my second home. School school school.
BTW, I just remembered about my homework. Hahahah. I haven't even touched any of my schoo books since I got home on Friday.
Yawn, if there's one thing about school i don't think I'll ever like, it has got to be homework.
Sure, homework gives you something to do but still... homework...is... homework. Hahhaha.

I'm sorta lazy to write posts now. I just keep writing though, even if I really don't have anything to write because for just one month, I want to have a full 31-day post thingy but I don't think I can carry on. It's not that I have nothing to write about. Sure I can write about the many random things that happen in my life, for instance, today, I went to monas(which is a fact), and it was dirty. The thing is, I don't have many interesting things to write so forgive me for writing without a reason. Previously I would only write without a reason in times of extreme boredom, or simply to release stress, but since I am neither stress nor extremely bored my posts don't have much life in them.
The hardest thing though, in writing a random post, is finding a good name for it.
Lately I haven't been thinking of good names for posts, but if I really felt that my writing for that post was purposeful, the name would automatically come.
That's one way you can tell if my post is just going to be some gibberish or some peice of writing I put my heart and soul into; by the title of the post.

quick post

Here are a few thoughts.

1. Why are books so expensive these days? Today I was at Kinokuniya and I wanted to buy this dictionary but seriously? Rp.234.000? I think thats way too much to pay for a pocket 2 language dictionary though I really wanted it -_-.

2.By the way, the Rp.2000 note is purple!! Yeah, hahhaha no, Maria, it's not orange :P Just like we predicted, it's purpleeeee :) Hahhaha. At the beginning of the week, Maria, Arin, Vania, JM, and I were talking about the new colour of this note, and we said that it'd be purple. Turns out we're right. I saw the picture in the Life & Times section of the Jakarta Globe today.
I was reading the papers today both the Jakarta Globe and the Jakarta Post, like I do, almost everyday. Both papers have a few pages about yesterdays bombings. I read that the Indonesian all star players who were staying at the JW Marriot hotel decided to skip breakfast and go to train straightaway, man, are they psychics, or is it just luck? Maybe they can tell the future?

3. Speaking of future telling and stuff, have you heard of indigo and crystal children? They're supposed to be the kids who bring us into a new age. At this point, I don't know what to believe. These kids are said to be born with special 'abilities' though. If you're curious read up about it yourself, because, I'm not familiar with this idea of supernatural kids, I'm not going to write about it myself, but these so called 'indigo and crystal kids' are said to really exist.

4. Hahahhaa, today I saw Harry Potter. I must say that it wasn't great. In fact, it failed to deliver as well as the book did for me. When I was reading it, I imagined the whole movie way more interesting than what I saw on screen, but hey, they can only fit so much into a 2 and 1/2 hour movie right?
Oh, and the one who plays Ron Weasley is an excellent actor. Great acting skills displayed on-screen.

OK that's all for today's quick post. Arghhhh seriously I need that book. I know, who wants a dictionary right? But let me explain to you that over the last one and a half months or so, I have had the sudden urge to learn a new language and so far, I've progressed a bit. But I need the dictionaryyyyyy arghhh.
To be honest this is not the first time I'm trying to teach myself something totally new, but previously, I've given up on many things. This is the first time I've had this burning determination to learn something properly... hahha and it happens to be a language that none of my family is familiar with.
My mum probably thinks I'm whack and that's why she doesn't want to buy it for me. I told her that I'd pay her full price for it at home because I didn't bring the money but she said she'll look for a cheaper version -_-
If I had the dictionary right now, I'd probably be reading it, instead of writing about how I don't have it, but it's okay, I'll buy get one really soon, I'll use my own money if really necessary.
Oh and I want a polaroid camera too, but it's not something I really want, it's just something that I think is nice to have. Oh and the dictionary is more expensive than the polaroid I had my eye on(there's this 2nd hand polaroid selling for Rp.200.000, still in good condition ;) teeheee)
It figures, if I had to choose one, I'd choose the dictionary anyway. Stuff I happen to want more always tend to be more expensive, be it a book over a camera.
I need to buy the dictionary the next couple of days though, you know, before the determination fades away, hahhahaha.
Oh one more thing. Rp.1000 notes are no longer in production!! Ahhhhh. This is sad. It's the dawning of a new economic era here in Indonesia. Instead they're going to start making Rp.1000 coins. But who want's coins???

squeezing the lemon

Finally, the first week of school is over. Hahaha, I think I'm pretty much used being sec3 at RICS now and for some reason, now I feel like the holidays were a distant past.

I can't believe that I've been at school with Oliver for 5 days and the whole time he thought I was Korean! Gaaahhahahhahahha. Until today, that is, after he asked me where I was from -_-
Well that actually happens a lot. Oliver said that he thought I was Korean because of my name(he knew my name first before my face; refer to post day 1, 13th July http://dmvhello.blogspot.com/2009/07/1st-day.html, number 2), Su Kyi, but I actually did encounter situations where people think I'm Korean at first sight, not knowing my name yet and all.
When I was small I had really really small 'sipit' eyes and fair skin so people thought that I was Japanese. Then, after that at about 6 or 7 years of age, I had darker skin and people kept thinking I'm Korean, even until now.

This is an account of how I have been mistakened as a Korean since a very young age:
My house is really close(walking distance) to this Korean store called Mu Gung Hwa and I go there if I need something and it's an emergency(but it's really expensive so I don't go there a lot). When I was really small, I remember going there and seeing this really tall Korean lady. The lady was happy to see kids for some reason and she probably thought I was Korean so she started speaking Korean to my sister and I and for some reason she just took these candies of the supermarket shelves and gave it to us for free. That lady must have been the owner of the store or something. Hahhaha.
Another time when I was older, I went there and accidentally stepped on this lady's foot and she didn't really get mad but instead she just started speaking Korean and I didn't want to make her feel embarrassed so I just smiled.
More recently when I moved to Raffles last year, MinJi, my friend thought I was Korean. She only told me after this other Korean person asked her if i was 'a new Korean kid'. At that time she just responded by laughing, and then she translated what that guy asked her and explained how she also thought I was Korean at first.

I know that I don't actually look Korean to everyone. In fact it's a matter of opinion, and sometimes people say I that don't look oriental at all. I bet the people who thought I was Korean at first are just gonna laugh now when they think about it because now that they see me everyday they realize that in truth I don't look Korean, hahaha.
Of course name contributes to the factor too. CH said that sukyi is a pasaran and alay name in Korea. Hahhaha. Idk ah...
...but I do want to learn Korean if I have the chance.

Today school was supposed to end early, so it didn't disturb the schedule so much when school briefed us about the bombings and dismissed us.
Yes, 4 bombs went off today in Jakarta. One in JW Marriot, for the second time, one in The Ritz Carlton, and I don't know where the other ones went off.
Manchester United who was scheduled to play soccer here this month canceled on us because of this.
It is rumoured that there are 4 more bombs that haven't happened yet, let's just pray that no more bombs explode anywhere.
I recieved this message from friends. I don't know if it's true or not but they say that instead of 4, 40 more bombs are going to go off.

Sktr 40 bom blm meledak. Area yg harus dijauhi, kuningan, fx, gi, pi, sensi, pp, smua clubs, bars, cafes, hyatt hotel, international schools, dubes usa, ausi n uk,airport...org bali pun hrs mulai waspada..Menurut pengamat politik, ad kmgknan ini otak pelakuny bkn terrorist biasa, melainkan seorang cawapres yg sangat capable utk mengguncang indonesia, sperti thn 1998... Anda tahu siapa? Sebarkan

Wow everything is happening so fast. Life is like a dream. Things just come and go like that. Bomb scares like these make you remember what's really important in life and that we must treasure what we have now because we take so many of the little things we have for granted, and thats when you never know what you have till it's gone.

By the way, one article I read yesterday really reminded me of one thing many people deem unvaluble and really take for granted. What is this thing? Hahaha it's your smile. Your smile is such a precious thing...
Read about this girl in California who has half of her face paralyzed and can't smile.

---------------------------------

Whoevers reading this post is probably really lazy to carry on reading such a long post, hahha, I'm going to just write a little bit more today, about school, and miscellaneous.
To make it less heavy to read, and less difficult to wirte and revise, I'm going to put my thoughts in numbers :P
I don't have that much to say about today though so there's no way the numbers will go further than 10 :)

1. We're on holiday on Monday!!! Yeahhhh. Hahahha, I really shouldn't be happy... many people are sad today, and regarding my bad mood yesterday(last post, 16th July), Yeah, that's gone now. I was clearly just paranoid, and in fact there was actually no reason at all for me to have been disturbed(actually there was a bit, but it's okay). In other words, I made a mountain out
of a moehill. Don't do this people, because if you make a mountain out of a moehill like I did, the one who ends up suffering is probably going to be you yourself.

2. School. Hmmm, I'm starting to enjoy sec3 more and more. It's great, seriously, but more and more people are dropping triple science by the day. At the end, after Ben leaves, it's just gonna be me and Harddi with Mr. Adinas. Wkwkkwkw. We had A.Math, Computer, Chinese, and Biology today. Like I said, we have less subjects today because school planned to release us early every Friday.
For Chinese we continued watching Shaolin Soccer, but we still couldn't finish it.
For Bio, We had to remember the characteristics of all the 5 kingdoms in the binomial system thingymajic. Miss Janet is actually a very effective teacher, but apparently, I don't read instructions properly so I ended up doing the activity wrong, hahha. I'm not going to drop biology. I think it's fun. Hahhahaa. It's just the first week and already alot of people want to drop it.
Have backbone people!! The Physics lessons haven't even started!! Hahah just kidding, do what you want, I have to wait for my brother after school anyways so might as well sit for a class right?

3. Our new schedule is out. we still have PE on Mondays, and it's a holiday on Monday right? That means no PE for 2 consecutive weeks. Hahahah. Now the missing physics classes appear on the schedule. I so have to catch up, I practically didn't have physics for the whole week, while the other class have. Our new schedule has so many double periods. Almost everything is doubled. I guess it's effective that way too. Eveytime we start a lesson people are late and it takes time for the attendance so it's easier to have two periods in one go right? Even if it's mental torture.

4. Pece visited school today. She brought me 5 packs of Bontea. Bontea is this green tea candy that tastes a little strange the first time but you eventually get used to it and after a while it even tastes really good, but not many people are used to it. It has lemon filling.
I'm definitely not going to eat ALL of it, anyways, I gave two of the packs away. I'm probably going to bring it to school on Tuesday to share with people. Sharing is caring :) hahhaha.

Okay hahha that's it. I'm practically drained now because I have nothing else to share. Totally nothing. If I was squeezing a lemon in this case, I've squeezed every last drop of lemon juice. Yeah I know, that's a weird way to explain it but yeah...

making stories about Jamie O.

Arghhhhh seriously, today I'm not in a great mood. I feel so bleehhhhhhhhh. My mind hasn't been at peace for the last 8 hours or so but slowly I'm beginning to melt away all my troubles with a little Internet time :)
Obviously I'm not gonna write about everything that has been disturbing me for the last few hours because I believe that not everything has to be shared with everyone, especially if it's online and open for everyone to read.
Well maybe I'm not THAT disturbed. I'm just quite annoyed, it's just something that I can't place my finger on, so I'm quite frustrated; well that's just one of the things, and maybe I'm just paranoid or it's the overreacting from my occasional mood swings, idk, but these things do happen.


Today school wasn't bad. Actually english class was not as boring as I thought it would be when I started sec3. I thought we were going to write everyday or have boring grammar lectures but seriously, I haven't had an english class which was fun like this for a long time.
For english class today, we did this quick activity where we get into groups and write a short story about a picture that the teacher gave us.
My group was Jonathan and David and JM. I think it's fate that I'm always in a group with Jonathan and David(like the last 4 times)because this time, a few seconds after the groups were made, HyunJi and HyeWon came in, and if ony they came a few minutes earlier, the groupings would have been completely different(just like the english lesson on Tuesday when we had to form groups of 3 and all the members were all mixed up and switched I ultimately ended up with Jote and Dave again).
Anyway Jess was part of our group this time and the teacher gave us a picture of Jamie Oliver, the naked chef, the minister of food :P. Hahaha.
Our story was really messed up, we wrote about this guy called Jamie who had a passion for food and when he was cooking oneday he turned on the TV and saw 'Thriller'. We wrote that apparently, Jamie was in shock after seeing the video because of his dearly departed 'half-brother' Michael Jackson, which caused him to mix-up the ingredients. Our story then goes downhill. An explosion occurs due to Jamie's lack of concentration and Jamie injures his arm. His injured arm leads him to depression and eventually Jamie kills himself.
(Note to all, The story above is just fiction and nothing about it was based on real-life events involving Michael Jackson or Jamie Oliver)
So yeah it was one heck of a story. The Michael Jackson part about being half brothers and all was totally random, and we originally wrote that Jamie broke his arm but I don't see how you can break you arm from an explosion, or how an explosion can even happen by mixing up wrong kitchen ingredients in the first place.
It was fun though. :), then again for some reason grouping with Jonathan and David is always kind of fun because of all the random and retarded things they talk about. Plus this time we had JM :P
Other than that there was nothing else fun today. Well there probably was but to me, this activity was the highlight of the day.

Yeay, hahha I'm in a good mood now. Well I'm not sure what kind of mood it is but it's the mood where you are in the mood to sleep, but it's not sleepiness. I think I'm just more at peace now.

blog changes

Someone once told me that looking at the colour green alot is healthy for the eyes and serves as an eye therapy. Hahha, I have no idea how much of this is the truth, but hey, what have you got to lose? Anyways it's about time I change something about my blog. I was fiddling with the colours when I remembered what my friend said about green being a natural eye therapy. I guess it'd be a refreshing change ;).


This is what my blog looked like before I did anything to the colour:
first attempt to fiddle with the colours: looks really weird (I can't believe that I thought I really wanted to leave it this way!!!)

Last, this is what it looks like now. I'm not completely satisfied but at anyways to me it looks better than the grey one above.

Another change that some may have noticed about my blog is that I changed the name of the blog from 'Life as I see it' to 'A Piece of My Mind'. The new name is just experimental, so I'm just gonna leave it like that for a while. I bet it's quite a common name and I'm not quite used to it. Hahhaha.

Well I guess thats pretty much it. I changed some other things too but I don't have to explain every single one of my changes in detail do i?

I've decided to keep the url dmvhello.blogspot.com though. I can't change that :)

do monkeys swim?

It's only the second day of school, yet we have HW. Ergh, I had my first chemistry class ever. I never used to have chemistry, hahha just combined science before.
The most boring class of the whole day was computer. I'm sorry but maybe it was just because I was sleepy so I found it hard to concentrate or something. Anyways computer looks like its going to be one of the most difficult subjects.
The most fun class today was geography. I haven't been in a class with my old sec2A classmates like that for so long, so I enjoyed geography plus all we did was talk. What I don't like abt geo is that we're gonna do this project thing. BLEHH(sorry but I don't really like investigative projects).

TeeeHeee

Today after school I got(more like borrowed) the BOF OST CD from Peceee > oh yea she visited today hahha she looked much taller for some strange reason.

Argh but the one song I totally hate from the album right now is Paradise. I don't hate it, but the song has been played in the drama like a thousand times... especially when the main characters went to New Caledonia, so yeah I became really sick of that song after the Caledonia part. Wkwkkwkw. (No offence to T-Max) =) Plus it's not actually a bad song.

My total favourite song from the CD has to be Algoinnayo by Someday. :D :D :D It's so good hahha. After listening to it a couple of times I put it on repeat mode so Algoinnayo would keep on playing over and over again. It's a totally good song hahaha. idk abt you guys but to me it's good.

Listening to these songs really makes me miss the drama. Man I wanna watch it again but it's too soon to rewatch it, because i'd probably get bored. I have to wait at least 3 months so I kind of forget the story -_-. Nonetheless it'll never be the same as my first round watching it when everything takes you by surprise and watching makes your emotions run everywhere. If I could erase my memory of the series I would, and then I'd watch it again :P. But I'd still want to remember the OST and I'd want to remember that I've watched it before.

Ahhh this song is so good, I just ripped it into my iTunes and the play count already says 19. Hahahha. I'm not sure about the meaning but it's something about love. I'm sure it's a very sweet song but I like it without knowing what the meaning is anyways so it doesn't matter much.


Oh I have a few questions and I'd be grateful if anyone could answer, you know just to put my curious mind at ease (I'm asking these questions out of 100% curiosity).
1. can monkeys swim?
2. if you type in korean/japanese/chinese/arabic or any other language that doesn't use the english alphabet to form words, are there computer fonts?

those are all the questions I have been pondering about for the last few days. If I have anymore I'll post them up too hahaha.
Oh and btew if humans evolved from monkeys does that mean that monkeys can swim too? They have like really long arms and their respiratory system is kind of the same right? Hahah I totally have no idea about monkey anatomy so please, fill me in.


I'm coming down with a cold. Hahah.

1st day

Today was the first day of the new academic year 2009-2010
I'm a 9th grader now hahahha.

Okay, In truth I wanted to write something really long but halfway I got bored writing it so I decided to write a short one instead. Either way, i have to write an entry today because this marks the beginning of the year. Wheeee.

Anyways if I wrote another long entry it's not like anyone would read it. People would get bored just trying to. Hahahha.


Some important things to know about the new academic year:

1. You are a VIP at RICS; blehhhhh.... this saying is totally bleeehhhhh. I mean seriously they can't come up with anything better? ergh why do they even bother with all these so called 'themes' its not like anyones gonna use them after orientation day.

2. I'm now in sec3S1. It's the class where they mix the triple science students with the medical stream students. I'm taking triple science. Our class is small though... 13 kids. One new one hahah. most are from sec 2B it think. There's JM, HJ, Hans, Yoga, and Harddi from 2B and Vania, Jote, Ben, Jo, David, MinJi and me from 2A. So actually most are from 2A. Whoops. And the new student is from SPH his name is Oliver. He knows my old classmate Kevin. Kevin told me about Oliver a few weeks ago but I wasn't really paying attention~ hahah.

What else?

3. Ah yes. Today was orientation day. It might be the most boring day of the entire school year... we had to sit on the MPH for like 3 and 1/2 hours. After that we had to make some sorta poster thingymajig; about being a "VIP".

4. note: Where did Aeran go? Haven't seen him in a long time.

5. Look what I found posted on the Philip Gryphons bulletin board today. Peter Jae Yeol Chung!!! This guy is long gone but the school still posts his birthday up. Hahahha. Nonetheless I'm miss Peter Chung. In fact I'm gonna miss all the korean kids who were in sec2A, they were so much fun. CH, and Wu Seok. Aaaarrggghhh Wuuuuuu Seeeeooookkkk.


So I'm just going to keep in mind that the 26th of this month is Chung's birthday. Great, 13 more days.

late night hunger

I'm quite hungry right now.
There's a Death Cab For Cutie song called 'The Sound Of Settling'
it starts with the words 'I've got a hunger twisting my stomach into knots'
That's kind of how I feel right nowwww, arghhh, late night hunger.

Anyways the song is not actually about a hunger or whatever... but it's about saying something before you regret that you didn't say it... i think.
Death Cab For Cutie is possibly the best band hahhaha.
They make indie-ish music i guess. It's really good. Whats best is their lyrics are really good too, along with the unique sound of the band.

holiday update 2009, and more mind gibberish

My mum says that if i keep on lying down with my laptop the way i do, my neck is bound to get sore when I'm older. Hahahah being a kid you don't always listen to your parents right? Hahahaha but I do know that her words are truthful to a certain extent.

Man it's been long since I've last seen the yellow background and dashboard of my blog... yet alone find time to write in it. I can't believe that for a few measly minutes I even forgot my blog url -_-. Just so I remember, I'll type it up here again; it's dmvhello.blogspot.com

Well I guess I was bound to forget sometime. It's because the name of my url really has no significance to it whatsoever. A lot of people have asked me what dmvhello means and I wouldn't be lying if I said that I really don't know and in fact I just called it that because I was pressured by time and had no choice but to create something totally random. Now that I actually do have time to change my url, i really wouldn't, because now that I think about it, I'd rather have my url have nothing at all to do with me. PLUS; if I were to change it right now, I'd probably be wasting alot of time thinking up a new name and then ending up with the same one right from the start. Maybe when I change the name of my blog, I'd change my url too. Hahaha idk. I kind of want to change the name of my blog right now.... you know to kind of get a new start. What do you think about 'My Mind's Refuge from the Real.... blogging to relieve stress' hahha that sorta sounds stupid. It makes me sound like some crazy stressed wacko. Any suggestions then? :P

Oh and btw, I'm on holiday.... for about one more day. Technically my holiday is over. It's Saturday today and I'm coming in on Monday. I can't believe that I'm coming in as a 9th grader. When I was in the 7th grade back at CiBun, I remeber thinking about how the 9th graders seemed so old and looked so tall. I don't know why but even though I'm coming in as a 9th grader, I don't feel any taller or older :(. It's a shame because I want to grow way taller. I've kinda lived as a short person for a long portion of my life.

Back to topic. What have I been doing this holiday?
Nothing productive really. Seriously, nothing productive. But hey, holidays are the time when you get to use the internet to you hearts content right? The time when you can splurge on dvd's only to finish them all in a night. The time to eat out and pig out. :P
OH and the time to watch online dramas till your eyes go black and till your mind becomes severely obsessed with the main character for a couple of days. Hahahaha actually I'm still kinda suffereing from this aftershock and mind-blanking of this drama I just watched. I find that this aftershock effect happens most with korean dramas. This one in particular is pretty famous and also airs on Indosiar, but since I'm not a really patient person, I prefer to watch online and finish the whole drama in one shot. So yeah... what is it? Hahaaha. Unless you are totally oblivious to the korean entertainment world, you would definitely know about which korean drama I'm talking about because it's still pretty fresh and even though it ended in korea abt 3 months ago, people are still talking about it. When I say this drama is about 25 episodes long and has 2 other versions (soon to be 3), and originatied from a manga, have you figured out which one it is?
I'm not gonna write its name here... but it's definitely one drama that can play with your emotions quite easily, and now that it's finished for me, i sorta miss it, and I kinda regret watching it all at one shot. It's a really cute k-drama ;) I've watched one other version of it a few months ago, the Japanese one. I won't say which one is better online, becaus ethey each have their strengths and weaknesses(eaaaaaaaa), but once I get started I tend to be pretty biased, so it's better if I just shut up for now.
Besides this one, I've finished watching two more as well since my last update on dramas. These two are not new, nor as famous as the one prviously mentioned. In fact one of them was really hard to find online because alot of the videos were broken or removed. In fact I had to watch about 3 of it's episodes in French. This drama was called 'Exhibition of Fireworks'. It wasn't great but okay I guess. Mostly because they build up the suspence to the very very end. Probabaly to the last 20 minutes of the entire drama.
The other drama I made time to watch had the same lead actress as 'Exhibition of Fireworks' Han Chae Young. It also had the same director(?) or someone who also worked on My Girl. As well as BOF (i think) im not so sure if its true but whatever. I feel this drama kind of dragged out a bit but it was enjoyable.
Hey come to think of it the first drama I mentioned here had a bit of Han Chae Young in it too. So all three of them do...

I'm sorry for people reading this who are not so enthusiastic about kdramas. I wrote quite abit about that already hahha.
So yeaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh.... I haven't really been on msn or fb alot because I've been lazy to make contact with the world outside my room. Oh and I think I am going to make a new tagging and archive system. My old one really sucks but that was because I really didn't know much about this whole blogging thing until reading other ppls blogs. I'll get to it right away. Now I think I'm going to have categories like; dramas, movies, school, life, things, imagination, worries, links, just for fun, no label. No label is just for the times I write to relieve my stress and is pretty much gibberish.
So this post would fall in dramas, school, life.

Hmmm and last... I need to express what I feel about my 6 week hermit holiday, and going back to school. First of all, despite what anyone says, I say that my holiday was well spent. Maybe staying at home wouldn't be your idea of a holiday but to me not going to school is enough of a holiday for me. At first when I started writing this, I thought I wasn't ready to go back to school just yet, but now, come to think of it, I am. I've had alot of days at home, and I thinks it's enough. I actually fear the new academic year. I fear how fast time will pass and flash before my eyes. Before I know it, I'd probabaly be done with sec3 blogging about my holiday again. Hahahhaha. We'll see when the time comes. I also fear how long I would take to adjust to the new class. Also, I'm most worried about how mentally torturing all this studying might be.
Despite all my fears, I'm not worried. I don't even think they are fears, they're just stuff I think about every so often. These are the things I cannot and don't want to run away from because I know they will come sooner or later. So they are just future thoughts.

Wow. I've written more than I intended to. You see this is why blogging is good for relieving stress. You get lost in your own words and thoughts. Not that I'm stress or anything I just needed to bring my mind back to school mode. Or whatever normal mode. :D
