The Dark Side of the Force is Strong in...

2009-09-02T19:16:00.012+07:00

...Obi-Wan Kenobi!?

Been surfin' the web, found a couple of ZOMGWTFAWESOME!!1! concept pictures of a dark side Obi-Wan Kenobi from the (canceled, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!) video game Star Wars Battlefront III.

Very nice concept, really gets the (geek) mind going on the possible stories about how one of the greatest Jedi Knights fall into the dark side! The ragged clothing makes him look like a hobo, but I don't think evil Sith Lords are one for personal hygiene.

You know, people blog about their experiences on things or the hottest international news, I blog about... Star Wars. Awesome.

Han+Blaster: Win. Greedo+Blaster: Fail.

2009-08-30T23:23:00.004+07:00

So in the original Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, there's a scene in which Han Solo is confronted by the bounty hunter Greedo about his debt to Jabba the Hutt. Han ended up shooting the bounty hunter with his blaster. All is well in the galaxy until the year 1995.

Apparently George Lucas believes that the very act of Han Solo shooting Greedo makes Han the equivalent of a cold hearted bastard, so he tweaked this scene in the 1995 (Special Edition) release of Star Wars so Greedo shot at Han first and MISSED at point blank range!

The original scene where Han shoots Greedo first

The Special Edition tweaked scene where Greedo shoots Han first, and misses

He further changed with the release of the 2004 Special Edition DVD, where Han and Greedo shoots at each other almost simultaneously, which is just plain stupid. This incident is famously known as "Han shot first".

Anyway, I messed around with Youtube and found these hilarious edits of the scene!

Well all of them are brilliant but which one is the most hilarious? I put my money on "Control Panel Shoots First" and "Greedo Shoots First". I found it funny that in "Han Solo doesn't have time for this", Greedo never got a chance to finish his sentence LOL.

Out-of-this-world!

"Nonton Star Trek yuk."

"Film alien-alien gitu ya?"
"Uh... Iya sih."
"Engga deh, gw engga suka film ngayal."

Perhaps you are a science-fiction movie enthusiast? Then a conversation like this should be familiar! Gw sering menemukan obrolan macem gini kalo lagi ngajak ~~kebanyakan~~ beberapa orang buat nonton film yang agak-agak berbau tembak-tembakan laser ciu ciu atau ada flying saucer (kalo huruf "R"-nya diilangin jadi flying sauce yaitu kecap terbang, HAHA HAHA).

Very different from the Yanks or the Japs yang udah ngelahap cerita-cerita macem War of the Worlds dari sebelom pergantian ke Abad 21 (kayak judul sinetron 90an), mungkin memang sejak baliho (balita kali, cheap joke go!) masyarakat Indonesia engga pernah disuguhin dengan tayangan-tayangan yang seperti ini, so the flying saucers and big-eyed grey aliens never really factored into our culture. Dan kalo misalnyapun ada cerita aneh dikit, biasanya reaksi orang bakal naikin satu alis dengan muka ekspresi "What. The. Fuck. Am. I. Watching?"

Then why was Transformers so nationally-loved? Wasn't it also a story about aliens?

Beats me.

Strangely though, I don't think the fantasy genre ever received a similar treatment by the Indonesian so-called "movie-goers". Lord of the Rings was a huge success here, though I bet only a few can remember the characters names after they left the theatre. Harry Potter and Twilight too. I think it's more or less the same with the superhero genre, and that even contains characters that are freakier than your average alien.

If people can relate with a boy with lightning-shaped scar on his forehead; or a sparkling emo vampire; or a group of people setting off on a journey to throw a ring into a volcano, then why is it so hard for them to relate to a laser sword-wielding warrior-monk? Or a robot sent to the past to kill the mother of a future resistance leader?

There's nothing wrong with an out-of-this-world movie experience once in a while, no?

UUULTIMATE FIGHTOOO!!!

Two of the best fighters/martial artists in DA HOLE WAYD WOERLD duking it out in a friendly contest to the death.

In reality this fight never happened, because nobody beats Chuck Norris. Ever. (text needs to be highlighted due to spoilers on the outcome of the fight)

Highlights: Check out 3:00 for some chest-hair grabbing action!

Tlansfolmels!

Gosipnya robot slash alien favorit rakyat Indonesia yang sekaligus menjabat sebagai ketua geng robot gaul Autobots, Optimus Prime, lagi nyari temen-temen baru untuk diajak gelindingan (rollout) bareng.

Be scared, Megatron. Be very, very scared.

Guys+Small Bags=Eyebrows Raised

2009-07-11T08:30:00.006+07:00

Yesterday I was hanging out with two of my old friends in the local coffee shop when something caught my sorry eyes.

There's this group of 17-18ish AGJs (no other word to describe it, really) walking to the exit, and the boys are carrying bags. Not just your ordinary backpacks, but these small, slightly-womanly, tas selempang-type bags.

So I asked my friends about it, and they said that it was the same question that they're going to ask.

I mean, what's the deal? It's totally understandable if it were women who are carrying small bags, they use it to put their wallet, handphone, perfume, cosmetics and other God-knows-what thingamajiggers, but boys? What could a human male possibly need to carry other than their wallet and cellphone?

Wallet on the right front or the butt-pocket, cellphone on the left front pocket, keys on the remaining pocket or you could just shove it anywhere.

That's it, right? Bet you those bags doesn't contain anything useful.

Current Obsession: City Bloxx

2009-07-07T06:37:00.020+07:00

Lately my eyes seems to be glued to my cellphone's LCD screen. Not because of Facebook (which is slowly gaining points in the boredomness meter) or Twitter (which is just plain stupid). But because of this very fun, requires-heavy-thinking, logic-building game called City Bloxx.

That may be an exaggeration on my part.

No exit option WTF!?

So basically the goal of the game is similar to Tower Bloxx, in which you have to place tower uh... blocks as straight as possible to the highest level without it falling. The better and straighter you build your tower, the more people are going to live in the building.

So much fun! /gay

There are four tower types, blue is the lowest and yellow is the highest level tower. After you build your tower, you place it in a 5x5 square field to make a city. You can't just place the towers wherever you want, careful planning and strategizing is needed (again, lebay) because the higher level towers needed certain colored towers placed beside it--for example, a blue tower is needed in the adjacent square before a red tower could be placed.

OMG so many colors to choose from!!1!

Jadi intinya, setiap gw nganggur, gw pasti ngeluarin handphone dan dengan sigap langsung menu>gallery>games>city bloxx dan kembali mengasah otak dengan permainan asah otak ini (?). Lagi nunggu makanan dateng gw maen, lagi di travel gw maen, lagi naracap gw maen, lagi bokerpun gw maen. Mungkin di angkot doang gw gak maen soalnya takut hapenya dicolong.

And yes, the game's title is one "x" away from being a porno.

Popstar or Donut?

I swear, somebody on the telly just now pronounced Michael Jackson's nick "Jacko" like one would say "J.co"!

The Change We Need

2009-07-03T07:27:00.022+07:00

A Palpatine-Darth Vader tag team for the top spot of Indonesia's government would be the best thing ever.

Sure, this country probably won't be a republic anymore, stormtroopers will patrol the streets 24/7, and planets will be blown to bits with a giant Moon-sized superweapon.

What's not to love? Plus, the military would look like this:

Move along, citizen

For once we'll have a strict and stern leader, one who's capable of taking action! Yes, he's older than my grandma...

WTF u mean old, bitch!?

...but he's still able to do this:

Die Punjabis die!!!

Awesome, right? Criminals are zapped, justice will be served, and he does it in style. Bite me if that doesn't make Indonesia a safer place to live!

Running beside Palpatine is none other than his personal boy toy Ani Skyw... Darth Vader. Oops, narrowly avoided a Force Choke there, see?

Vader's personal Star Destroyer (or spaceship, for the non-nerds that are unfamiliar with the term) in the early stages of its development

Vader has been Palpy's No. 2 for a long time now, doing mostly grunt works the old man doesn't want to dirty his hands on. This gives the black-armored asthma-ridden more-machine-than-man enforcer lots of experience on the field. With his trusty red lightsaber always at the holster, Vader is ready to show the people of this lovely country that with their combined strength, they can end the destructive conflict, and bring order to the galaxy!

I've had a chance to catch Vader at a press conference earlier this week, and when asked what he thought about his competitors, this is what he had to say:

Epic Win

General elections are coming closer, folks. It's time to make up your mind. Don't vote for anybody else. Vote for them.

Space, the Final Frontier

2009-07-01T00:48:00.022+07:00

No, not a Star Trek post, kids.

Space has always fascinated me since I was but a wee lad. Maybe it's the whole "uncharted world"-ly vibe that makes it so interesting, like there's a gazillion of things waiting to be found there right there in the infinite blackness.

Kind of like the sea way back when, explorer dudes such as Marcopolo and Christopher Columbus setting sail into the unknown hoping to find something new. (...and gold). Difference is, the Marcopolos and Columbuses of today wear big-ass white suits with helmets. Guess we could call Space the "modern" sea, huh.

Come to think of it, we could have lived in a Space Age right now! Back in the 1960s, Space WAS all the rage: Sputnik. Apollo 11. THE SPACE RACE. Star Wars. Star Trek. Moonraker (the James Bond movie, not the Bandung-based biker gang). Peope actually thought that they're going to live in outer space in the near future, in space stations, the moon and all that. Though the fad unfortunately wore out after Apollo 11, one can wonder what the world could be right now if the Space Race did continue.

Got the pics from a site called HubbleSite, which my homo friend found using this website called Stumble Upon. Got chills just by looking at the three nebula pictures up there.

Here's to hoping in the next 10-20 years some genius (AHEMSHELDONCOOPERAHEM) finds a way to build a spaceship. If not, well I'm hoping for a breakthrough in time machine department, haha.

Avengers Assembled?

2008-06-25T10:07:00.015+07:00

Incredible Hulk was awesome.

Kayaknya akhir2 ini gw ngomong awesome mulu deh haha. I'm not going to review the movie but allow me to say: now THAT is how a Hulk movie should be made! Jedar jeder jeger bum bum duaaar (okay that made me look like an idiot)! Pure destruction, pure fun!

Aaaaniwei, one of the most interesting part is the last scene before the credits (ya iyalah sebelom credits, makanya namanya last scene, haha dodol)...

-SPOILER(s) ALERT!!!-

Ahem.

Seperti yang kita tahu (atau tempe. ALAH BASI!) apalagi abis scene after credits-nya Iron Man, Marvel bener2 nyiapin film The Avengers dan kayaknya niat banget haha.

Okay. Ehm. Last scene. You know, the one with the general AND Tony Stark? I found one of the lines very interesting:

"I hate to say 'I told you so' general, but that super soldier program was put on ice for a reason."

Aha? Aha? Get it? Captain America was supposed to be a product of the super soldier program, he was frozen on the Arctic before getting extracted and joining the Avengers! Besides that there are numerous references to Captain America on the movie, especially regarding the super soldier program when General Ross tells the origin about the Hulk to Emil Blonsky.

Originally there was supposed to be a scene where Bruce went to the Arctic to kill himself, but ended up finding the Cap instead. The scene was deleted, however, but will be included in the DVD (DVD asli pula, kaga sanggup gw belinya). Stupid reason though, IMO.

Thor should be out in 2010, Captain America: The First Avenger in 2011 and will be followed by The Avengers movie later the same year. Expect more crossovers, I'll say. More of S.H.I.E.L.D. and more eyepatched Samuel L. Jackson.

I think the next Marvel movies are going to kick so much ass, there will be no butts left to kick.

The Next Level

2008-06-20T15:07:00.020+07:00

The new Nike Football commercial is frickin' awesome! Pure mindblowing creative awesomeness.

It tells the story of (or rather shows, to be exact) this unknown Dutch football player dude rising through the ranks of his football career: from playing in his local league, being scouted by Arsene Wenger to play for Arsenal FC, to representing his country in the recent Euro 2008 football competition.

What sets this commercial apart from other football commercial is that it is shown entirely from the player's point of view, giving us the chance to at least get a glimpse on how it feels to play the game; on the field, with those big players.

The commercial is directed by Guy Ritchie and features numerous cameos by superstars of the sport playing beside and against the unseen Dutchman such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Ruud van Nistlerooy, Ronaldinho, Cesc Fabregas -- even a fight with Marco Materazzi.

This clearly blows away the Adidas Jose+10 commercial from way back in the 2006 World Cup. It's great, but this is just awesome. Period.

Just a Piece of My Mind

2008-06-06T20:02:00.012+07:00

Hatiku gundah. Hatiku curiga.

Lho lagu Sherina dong?

I think I’m going to write about something a bit more serious this time, not to mention it’s a sensitive topic. I’m not one to write in-depth or anything, and originally I don’t plan to write anything about this… but eh what the heck. I'll try to make this as uncomplicated as possible! Doakan saya ya! Eh warning warning toletoletolet (ceritanya bunyi sirine) sama sekali ga bermaksud untuk ngikut orang gitu gara2 lagi pada nulis tentang ginian. It’s just a piece of my mind.

Anyway, steel yourselves lords and ladies because it is…

SENSITIVE ISSUE BELOW!

So Islam is supposed to be this pacifist religion, right? I’m a Moslem, and we are supposed to spread and practise the “message of peace”. Tapi kok kalo misalnya gw lagi ngedengerin khotbah Jum’at gitu, isi khotbah yang gw denger (mayoritas) ga jauh2 dari mencemooh dan menyudutkan agama tertentu. Bukannya menyebarkan “message of peace” tapi malah “message of hate”. And to top it all, pas mo Solat Jum’at lagi!

I attend an Islamic school since my childhood days (waktu itu gw masih botak dan gigi gw kayak Chipmunks! Imut deh! 8D) dan gw bisa bilang kelamaan di environment seperti itu bisa bikin pandangan lo terhadap dunia sempit priwit, sama aja dengan cara lo mandang suatu masalah. Yak ga bermaksud nyuwombong sih (walopun gw emang keren dan funky), gw sih selalu mencoba untuk “open minded ajyah” (kayak kata pacar lama saya Mariana Renata di iklan Lux jaman film Janji Joni dulu… Ah Marianaaa… *drools). Keliatan lah kalo kita terus2an “diajarin” aka. subliminal messages kalo this specific religion is bad, that kind of race ain’t good, atau this nation acts against our religion’s interest and therefore must be eliminated at any cost.

Ahhh… (desahan yang aneh -_-)

And suddenly I ended up in a drastically different environment, dimana temen2 gw kebanyakan agamanya berbeda sama gw. Trus? Ga kebukti tuh kalo apa yang dari dulu “diajarin” ke gw bener. Sometimes I feel more comfortable hanging out with them than with the people dari komunitas gw yang sebelumnya. Doesn’t mean that they’re bad or anything, tapi “orang2 baru” ini (istilah doang) lebih terbuka dan yang lebih penting, mereka lebih menerima perbedaan.

I guess I bore you already, huh? Maap yak! Hehehe.

Don’t get me wrong though. I love Islam so much, I believed it with all my heart. Gw seneng sama aja ajaran2nya. Yang gw ga suka tuh (beberapa kelompok dari) umatnya. Sepertinya yang mereka pikirkan cuma cause destruction towards the non-Moslem community dan menegakkan supremacy of their own twisted version of Islam.

Sayangnya gw belom bisa bilang gw Muslim yang baik hehehe, secara sholat gw masih bolong2 dsb, kadang2 malesnya masih suka mendominasi -_- Still a long way to go for me I guess.

You know, one of my biggest fears is that I live in an age where Moslem are hunted down like a plague. An era where my very existence is wrong just because I believed in this religion. And you know what? If the rest of the Moslem community keeps these acts of violence up…

…that age may not be far off.

Curahan Hati Seorang... Seorang Apa Ya?

2008-05-29T16:11:00.016+07:00

Berikut adalah hasil chattingan saya dengan seorang oknum yang sebenarnya tidak begitu penting:

OF: ya ampyuuuuun eyke cebel dech awch!

R: arghh >.<

Post log chattingan saya berhentikan sampai disitu saja karena selanjutnya terserah anda (LHOOO), maksud saya selanjutnya penuh kata2 tidak senonoh yang tidak sepantasnya masuk ke dalam blog ini.

Hikmah yang dapat kita petik dari chattingan tadi adalah, dampak dari kenaikan harga BBM benar2 menyentuh seluruh lapisan masyarakat, dari si kaya dan si miskin, termasuk juga kaum yang jenis kelaminnya tidak jelas (seperti oknum yg saya chattingi ini).

Pendek kata aja (males nulis panjang2), ada omongan dari temen gw hasil ngobrol biasa gitu. Dia bilang (mengenai kenaekan BBM) "strategi pemerintah buat mengurangi rakyat miskin di indonesia udah berhasil, rakyatnya dibunuhin semua". Ngobrolnya sih sambil becanda, tapi kok bisa diliat ada benernya jg haha...

PS: Chattingan diatas semuanya bualan belaka: OF berarti Oknum Fiktif; R berarti Regi Asik dan Gaul (eee mo ape lo). Yang BUKAN bualan adalah ceritanya, yang ngalamin gw. Yang harus bayar DUA RIBU LIMA RATUS buat turun dr ciumbuleuit ke ciwalk tuh GUE, yang kekurangan duit 5000 buat bayar travel tuh GUE. Jadi itu semua salah GUE? Salah temen2 GUE? Hahaha ga jelas...

Pokoknya akhirnya setelah gw liat gw kekurangan 5000 gw memelas sama mas2nya dengan ga tau malunya. Akhirnya gw ngibrit ke depan untung ada ATM ya udah deh diambil duitnya... Close encounter with algojo banget deh!

Usut punya usut cerita ini ternyata mirip banget sama kejadian idup yg dialami oleh temen gw si Mbak Yeyen, bedanya dia punya 57 rb dan harus ngeluarin recehan hahaha! Akhir kata intinya sih post gw penting2 ga penting, tapi sejak kapan sih penting menjadi keharusan? NJIEEEEE...

Salutations to You, Sire!

2008-05-17T19:25:00.010+07:00

Have you ever glanced off the sidewalk and saw the old lady sweeping the street while you’re driving or noticed the man cleaning your table before you eat at some fancy restaurant? Ah, those little jobs, not even a career, you might think. Wait! These so-called ”little” jobs are probably the most boring jobs ever, but also the hardest, the most overlooked and nevertheless very important to the overall structure of the system. And these dudes and dudettes depend on their jobs with their lives! Low pay, long hours, everyday. For us, hell on earth. For them, not so much...

Eh jangan pada depresi gitu dounks... Untuk mencerahkan suasana om akan kasih kalian semua tebak2an! Gimana? Horeee! Oke, bola bola apa yang kaya kucing? Hayo apa? Gampil bet dah! Jawabannya nanti om kasih di akhir acara. Jadi kalian tetep SMS ya! (SMS apa coba?)

Okay... AHEM! Without further ado, I present to you monsieur and madamoiselle, the jobs that are often overlooked, but very very very AFI. I mean important! Here they are:

1) Operator line telepon, para mas-mas dan mbak-mbak yang bekerja di 108 atau kantor-kantor oke di gedung bertingkat, memberikan dan menyambungkan nomer telefoune, misalnya si om gatel ke mbak genit selingkuhannya. Selain menjadi perantara kemaksiatan (hahah maap maap engga kok), pekerjaan ini juga membuat jontor dan dower bibir anda. Kenapa? Ya coba aja ngomong ”Tulip Hotel, how may I direct your call?” 10.000.000x dalam sehari.

2) Busboy atau Cleaning service, gw pernah lagi makan di food court salah satu mall gaul asik ibukota tercinta pada sebuah sore sendu, trus gw ngeliat seorang pemuda yang bekerja sebagai cleaning service membersihkan meja di sebelah meja gw dengan muka memelas seraya memberi isyarat ”sebenernya-gw-maunya-jadi-direktur-tapi-kok-malah-kayak-gini”. It’s all very touching I nearly cried. (Ga kok bohong hehehe... Eh BENERAN ENGGA!) Pekerjaan yang dianggep kecil, tapi penting banget. Siapa yang bersihin meja atau piring coba kalo mereka ga ada? EMANG ELO MAU? *trus jadi marah*

3) Montir, bagi para anak gaul yang hobinya masang mobil mereka pake per biar loncat2 kayak Mach 5 atau sayap biar bisa terbang pastinya butuh banget dong para pekerja yang satu ini. Sayangnya montir di Indonesia kebanyakan pada dekil ga kayak di Pimp My Ride gitu yang pada trency dan kece. Ya tapi itu di TV juga sih ya...

4) Pemain figuran, ini penting banget nyet. Ga sembarang orang bisa jadi figuran. Kalo ga percaya liat aja sinetron Indonesia, figurannya mukanya kayak orang kebingungan semua. Disuruh ketakutan malah ketawa, disuruh ketawa malah kaya orang sembelit. Parah. Figuran ini walaupun bayarannya kecil tapi tetep penting bet. Bayangin aja ada suatu scene dimana kota diserang monster, tapi karena figurannya pada mogok kerja jadi ga ada deh warga kotanya. Monsternya paling juga bingung ”ngapain yak gw nyerang ni kota?”

5) Screenwriter alias Penulis skenario, sebenernya pekerjaan yang satu ini ga bisa diaplikasiin di Indonesia soalnya di Indonesia (hampir) sampah semua emang penulis skenario. Tapi berterima kasihlah pada mereka karena merekalah yang menciptakan line2 yang timeless seperti ”No, I am your father,” atau ”Leave the gun, take the canoli” sampe ”Jadi salah gue? Salah temen-temen gue?” Udah gitu ya jeng, mereka masih digaji kecil (di Amerika sih), ya pantesan aja mereka pada mogok.

6) Supir, when you’re back aches and you can’t drive, or you just simply can’t drive a car, this fellow is the way to go. Selain itu para supir jaman sekarang pada multitalented, bisa nungguin anak pulang sekolah, beliin makan, bantu bersih2 rumah, trus diajak maen bulutangkis kalo lagi nganggur. Tapi satu yang harus diwaspadai adalah mereka memiliki tendensi untuk menghamili pembantu tetangga anda.

7) Petugas fast food restaurant, they received the lowest payment possible for those freakeningly long hours they work. I feel sorry for them. Hey, I’m all for a Big Mac or a Fillet o’ Fish anyday, but if I were to work at a McDonalds, I’d probably throw up at the sight of those burgers due to looking at it everyday.

8) Tukang dan pedagang kaki lima, yang jual ulekan, jual cakwe, jual bekal tradisional, jual ember, jual piano, jual laptop, jual perhiasan (lama2 jadi kayak maling jualan barang curian). Under the heat of the sun they work, they work, and they work... Gw suka kesian kalo ngeliat mereka masih banyak barang dagangannya... Pengen bantu beli tapi ya apa daya... (cuih sok sweet banget)

Beberapa pekerjaan yang sempat terbersit di benak saya (yang biasanya ga ada isinya) namun tidak masuk ke dalam list karena satu dan lain hal: Pembantu, ditolak karena suka centil dan kebanyakan pada sok asik pas pulang ke kampung; Waiter, kebanyakan suka pada nyolot trus ogah2an kerjanya; Penulis blog, sebenernya pekerjaan yang keren banget dan asik banget tapi takut dibakar massa kalo dimasukin; Polisi lalu lintas, suka malak; Pemain bulutangkis, ga nyambung; Badut, ketakutan gw. Kayak psikopat gitu sih.

So those are some of the jobs you might have overlooked but still an integral part of the system that we live everyday. By writing this I hope you’ll see ’em in a new light and give ’em the respect they deserves... (unless when they’re acting like an ass)

Apa? Oh masih mau tau ya jawaban pertanyaan yang ini? Jawabannya adalaaaaaaaaah: BOLAAAAEMOOOOOOOONNN!!! Hahahahahahahahaha… (tebak2annya ini mulu deh, ga ada yang laen apah)

HOLY CANOLI, BATMAN! I’M TWENTY! (aka. Curhat Dikit)

2008-05-02T16:22:00.011+07:00

Oh shayt. The clock stroke midnight and now I’m twenty years old.

One of my friends recently (and rather excessively, I might add) said that I’ve got what she called the “pre-20 syndrome”. I’m sure she just made it aaaall up though haha. I don’t know what the heck the syndrome means, but she said it’s because I’m grumpy all the time. Well correction, miss: it is only towards you. Wakaka!

Well the first days after being twenty, it feels kinda… nineteenish. Hahaha analisa yang bodoh. But I really don’t feel anything’s changed. I’m still fat (yg ini sepertinya akan terus sampe tua, drats!), masih pengen ngisengin orang secara berlebihan, masih pengen maen tebak2an, masih suka loncat2 kaya manusia setengah monyet, masih suka maen game (yang bilang game itu buat anak kecil, akan dengan senang hati gw tunjukkin bahwa pandangan lo tuh salah, BRO! Aaaar!), dan masih suka masih suka laennya yang mencerminkan bahwa gw itu cacat secara mahasiswai (bahasa baru).

Gee boss, I don’t feel mature enough.

Anyway, 20 huh? Hmm… Buat akika sech, umur 20 tuh berarti akika dach bolech jalan2 ke mall trus ke pantai sama BFF akika! Akika bisa belanjya inyi dan ityu, hunting cowo okeych dan mustankz (slurp aw), akika dan bolech ngedugz di balai kota (lho), baju2 akika yg dari dulu tertutup sekarang bolech terbuka (uwaaaaww)! Asyick yach!? Hoek.

I guess there are a few things to be expected at being 20 and those years leading up to 30 (BEWARE PERSONAL OPINION!):

1) Gone were the age of innocence and ignorance, mahasiswa millenium dituntut untuk lebih peka dan pro-aktif terhadap lingkungan dan situasi di sekitarnya (cie bahasanya cerdas). I mean, AUDP (Anak Umur Dua Puluhan) will have to know and understand that the events happening all around the world actually happened on Planet Earth. Get my drift? Saat muda dahulu masih bisa dimengerti kalo kita bodo amat terhadap serangan teroris ini dan itu, trus malah ngobrolin audio mobil bersama teman sejawat. Ya sekarang udah ga bisa secuek itu lagi lah coy… Ya gaxxxx?

2) WORK! If all goes well, I’ll graduate in two years (AMIN YA ROBBI BANTULAH HAMBAMU INI). After that comes work. Para AUDP (gw lg mencoba meng-in-kan singkatan ini) will have to learn how to support themselves, tanpa menggunakan bantuan keuangan dari orang lain seperti janda2 haus belaian atau om2 yang kegatelan.

3) Musim kawieeeeeeeeeennnn, bagi para perjaka bersiaplah untuk membeli cincin pertunangan dan cincin kawin (kalo mau buang2 duit) dan bagi para perawan bersiaplah untuk terkejut ketika tiba2 sang pacar goes bended knees sambil memutarkan lagu kesayangan anda berdua and say that awful little words… be prepared to say I do’s… (and I don’ts). Argh I absolutely despise this! Not that I hate the idea of marriage, it’s just that everybody gets married young nowadays! I say explore life first, get married later. Plenty of time to get jiggy, ladies and gentlemen, plenty of time.

So ultimately, I get this vewy weiyd feelink about all this. Gak tau kenapa, setelah menginjak usia yang sudah lumayan lanjut ini (uhuk uhuk) gw ngerasa kayak “Hey, you just won’t be free anymore”. Pasti setiap saat pikiran kita bakal dijejali dengan masalah2 yang ga bakal ada abisnya dan datang silih berganti. Aih macaaaan. Ga bakal lagi deh bisa punya otak kosong melompong isinya maen terus kaya dulu ato paling ga otak yg nyantai, rileks. And it starts now :(

Ah, maybe I'm just overthinking this.

PS: Biasanya eke jarank curhad ttg begindangan, tapi ya udagh lagh yaaawgh...

Just a Random Post about Bad Dreams

2008-04-04T16:13:00.008+07:00

One of life's more fun activities besides eating, mocking people, and singing in the shower is, IMHO, sleeping. Sleeping offers you a temporary retreat from life, relative refreshment and rejuvenation when you wake up, and (dreaming) at the same gives you an idea to write your blog ;)

Like this post for example. A big and major DUH!

It's amazing how sometimes you dream about things you rarely ever think about. Or about things you know doesn't exist and will never ever exist, but suddenly comes to life in that little imaginary world inside your head.

I’m unfortunate enough to have experienced one of those movie bad dreams moment, the one where it's so terrible you suddenly wake up from, with sweats all over your body. Jadi waktu itu gw masih cukup bau kencur dan bobonya masih kebagian satu tempat tidur ama nyokap, jadi gw tidur sebelahan (cie anak mami) ama nyokap. Nah, mimpinya tuh dimulai dengan gw berada di kamar gw, nyari2 adek gw yang masih kecil banget (dulu masih botak dan suka ngeces, a little devil then, a teenage demon now) terus gw keluar kamar.

Apa yang terjadi? Kita saksikan kelanjutannya minggu depan, masih di channel yang sama, waktu yang sama! Sampai jumpa! *teteteroteteteeeeet!* Lagu theme song acara berbunyi.

Hehe pasti penasaran deh? Apa? Engga ya? *mulai ngomong sendiri*

Lanjut. Jadi pas gw keluar dari kamar terus menuju ke ruang duduk2 di depan kamar gw, tiba2 gw ngeliat adek gw ada banyaaaak banget, menuhin ruangan itu, dan pokoknya tiba2 aja gw tau kalo mereka semua tuh bukan adek gw, tapi TUYUL. Abis itu gw langsung kebangun, hahaha. Terus abis itu gw disuruh tidur lagi ama nyokap.

Absolutely terrifying.

Selaen itu gw pernah mimpi dikejar Tyrannosaurus Rex sambil naek UFO, terus kiamat dimana semua orang kayak ditarikin gitu ke laut, liat kuntilanak, dsb dll sampai yang paling baru kemarin lusa dimana gw naek mobil di bunderan HI sambil dikejar monster di film Cloverfield.

It’s a sad little life, I know.
