Here's to happiness
Naomi from the Rockstar Diaries has been doing this very interesting activity by asking people to send her 10 things that make them really happy (10 small things). I thought I wanna do mine:

1. Reading under blanket on a rainy weekend
2. Dinner parties
3. Held by Husky
4. A good book
5. Waking up between 8 to 9 a.m.
6. Receiving e-mails from my dearest friends
7. Squeezing with my family on a bed
8. The smell of wood and leather
9. The smell of clean laundry, soap or Colgate
10. Quiet time

For the love of walking
These past few days, I've been spending time managing the mess: moving, registering for summer semester, registering for new college for fall, bitching about everything in sight, discovering my way to Stanley Park, discovering new virtues in volunteerism, bitching about teachers and schools and trying my best to spend my time with Husky.

I don't want to be too cheesy but I can't help it. Britney's From the Bottom of my Broken Heart fits just right. Hahaha... Oh well.

We walked a long way and there are things more genuine than just the emotion involved. Sometimes I think I'm just afraid to lose Husky. Then I'm still so young. But that's not the matter. Because I found friendship in him, and it's regardless of age. It's not infatuation that will bore you over the time. It's not fondness that will lose its interest. I trust him, and with my heart. He'll swear to take care of it.

My father keeps on brushing it off, saying puppy love.

I could've chosen an easier puppy love. I wouldn't have gone through all the troubles of being different. But hearts know no differences in material beings, and what's left is honesty. Some people takes years to find them. Some people spend their lifetime in search of it. Some people even think that it doesn't exist. Lately I've been crying like the takings of precribed medicine. Long before that, the thought of ending the relationship occured more often than people in Utah saying grace, even more often than the feedings of the shark in state's aquariums.

I was hesitant. Unlike puppy love, I didn't lose myself in it. Instead, I found me. I stop denying myself. He teaches me to accept my imperfections. Embrace my whole being, love it, because he does.

We took numerous walks lately, a few down Granville Island. Eating our way to the most delicious burger in B.C. and in my constant cravings for cupcakes. He bought me an M&Ms dispenser yesterday, and we picked up a bottle of Pinot Noir after few unsuccesful stops at wine stores, we found a 2006 Baron Philippe de Rothschild on Kingsway, I was contemplating between that and of Burgundy. But he said they were good. So we took it. He also made me a lamp made of mosaic glass.

I've asked him to write me a love letter. He gave me a live demonstration instead.

So I'm embracing myself for losing him in sight for a period of time. We knew it is for the better.

I'm just thankful because I have great friends who're supporting me through it.

Lovers Rock...

Kissing you - Sade

This has to be one of the most romantic, tragic and beautiful songs that I have ever heard. In fact, there was a period of time in my life, where I would listen to this song and tears would start streaming. Lullabied by Sade Adu's unbelievably gifted voice and the meaning of the song, not to mention a soundtrack to one of the most beautiful love story, this song has to break some hearts...

I love most of Sade's songs...
...

Look at me


C'est une bonne musique...

Come away with me

Oh Hello Baby!
Our first plant: the giant grey stripe sunflower has grown :D

It could grow until 2,5 meters high! Can you imagine!

My bedroom
I think I'm in denial, sad to face separation, but knowing that nothing can stop it. I'm expecting it like expecting a child. It's painful and digesting slowly, it could come out any minute and for all I know, nothing good can come out of it. Yet I'm letting myself to go through the labor.

Oh well.

I shopped at Ikea yesterday for my new bedroom :)

I want this!!


From http://www.furniture-for-small-spaces.com/decorating-a-studio-apartment.html



ANYWAY! I love this episode of GG, "Seder Anything". I love the fact that:

Serena is back - sort of. I mean, convinced by Poppy's return at the end makes me anticipating for more bitch slap. And I like the fact that Blair is going to NYU! I can't wait to see how a preppy princess fitting in the trendy environment. And more! Blair and Nate are so sweet. Although I love her and CHUCK more. And please kill me if Jenny and Chuck end up together!!!!! Oh and I love Syrus Rose. And more, I love the ending scene where Serena and Blair talked to each other. I think that's a very heartwarming scene :)

Plus I love Blair's dress:

HEPPI
I told my dad about my results and unexpectedly, I was jolly happy when he said they were good.

He said:
alright... score harder to encourage me to work harder (for your increasing demand of blood)...

Moi:
ROFL.
...

Ahh happy times.
A trip down to Ikea tomorrow. But now. Let's compare the distance to my current college from my new place. From the old place, which is in central Vancouver, bordering with Burnaby. It only takes maximum 40 minutes and 15 minutes to my future college. But stammered by the damn high rent minus kitchen and sense of privacy (louder and louder each day), I digress.


As you can see, Vancouver (or BC actually, counting Richmond at the lower part and North Van on the upper part) is BIG. There are the nicer West Van, which although is nice, is marked with bad reps for drug dealings, etc. And there is west side Van, which I'll live in next week. Nice area, although might be the hub of aristocrats and orthodox, the crime rate is really low and convenient everywhere.

If I happen to have a car.

You see, this has a price tag. My bedroom is smaller, but the rent is reasonable. Takes me 20 minutes to my future college. But it's almost 2 hours a way from my current college. Aih.

A stupid post

When I was a kid, at the age where it was still considered 'cute' for me to play with Barbies, Kens and Kellys (plural, because I had at least 20 of them), I regarded my self as a genius to name them as the Alex Clan.

I don't know what gets me to the Alex Clan. Maybe my brother's addiction to Power Rangers. The Alex Clan consists of: Alexandra (normally the prettiest Barbie), Alexander (Alpha Ken), Alexia, Alexis, Alexandro and Alexa. I would make them twins or triplets or at least siblings so it wouldn't be so weird. They would all be in high school or college dorm (big influence from Enid Blyton's Malory Towers). Now that I'm fully grown up, I can't believe how silly I was.

Anyway, I had a lunch yesterday with KK and Husky after our haircut. And KK mentioned that she thinks when we had our picnic the other day, most of us are selfish because we only eat what we made! My head suddenly sprung to Fireplace (it's her nickname) who ate nothing else than her food. And proud to stuff other people with her food as if our food is less than hers. I can't tell you how annoying it was. I think everyone else is AT LEAST eager to try other people's food.

At first I thought Fireplace is a genuine heart, cute and real. Than reality kicks in when she regards and chooses her friends only from their materialistic being. And hey, apparently she's friendless despite the image of popularity. Far from the original mean girls who have their gang to stick into. When I read her resume, she wrote one of her positive attitude is a good listener. I can't name anyone who's worse at listening than her (maybe deaf redbull-charged pomeranian). These people make me realize how stupid I was that I was even trying to make friends with them! Not only I get hurt at the end of the day, because I'm looking for real friends to hang out with, but also insecurity because such people made me feel even more friendless than I actually was. Waste. My. Time.

Although now I feel pity for her, which make me put the effort to be nice to her.

I think I complained an ear-full to everyone whom I'm familiar with. But let me tell you, her voice belongs to an evil witch that I can't shake off. Before the spell is broken, I'll keep on complaining.

Anyway. I found a place to stay!! When I'm in Singapore, Coboh and I would walk late at night and talked about my financial crisis. She'd laugh when I said I'm broke, too broke to pay for rent and I'll have to stay in Changi Airport because I'm too poor to go anywhere else. I remembered that Coboh lent me some money and I feel embarrassed. Or when my words stuck in my throat when I asked Irene to pay for our room this month, and I'll pay back next month because I shopped a little bit too much. Irene happily paid for it because she earns a lot (!JEALOUS!). I've certainly grown from overspending my rent money just to feed my foot. I can say that I have better money sense now. But sometimes, old habits die hard. I just spent A LOT in less than two days. Especially when I didn't buy anything substantial (except from that DARLING Dooney & Bourke satchel).

Talk about which, it's unbelievable how smooth was my sailing. I mean, education-wise, I have no problems. And even now that my roommate is going home, and I'm left homeless, immediately I found a place. Some people say it's luck. I think it's God.


ANYWAY! WTH. Where is Raikkonen? GO RETIRE SOON! Ceh! Ferrari is digging their grave now. But it's GOOD to see Barrichello in the podium again. Hi Schumi's underrated partner. I'm happy for you! See hardwork pays better than being a constant drunkard. WTH. Grr. I wanna watch Singapore GP! Actually, I wanna see the Ethiad Abu Dhabi GP!!!! The governments are smart to host F1 in their countries, given F1 long span shots. There's an issue that in case the Abu Dhabi GP is not ready in time, the last race will be hosted in Canada. Heck, in November Montreal will be soo cold that it would see a few multimillion cars sidetrackked and skidded like those cars in Disneyland playground.

Give me my heart back
To choose:

A. Downtown.
Pros:
- Nearby friends.
- Nearby everything else
- Added bonus because it's hip
- Place of my own (studio)
- Varieties of churches to choose (like sushi bar)
- Rocking the twenties, possibilities to make mistakes and learn from them. Most of them will consist of mistakes that I'll commit by being young and foolish.
- By the beach
- Independent. Overrated, I know, but an ego booster.


Cons:
- Rent means less budget to eat+wardrobe
- If I died in my room, no one will know
- Overpopulated
- SHARED LAUNDRY!
- No furniture a.k.a. sleeping bag.
- I might kill myself because I'm too damn lonely and die from a heartbreak.


B. West Van
Pros:
- A freaking nice place.
- By the beautiful park.
- Everything included. I mean EVERYTHING including a gym and own washer + dryer.
- Quiet
- Safe neighborhood.
- Nor your usual paper thin walls apartment in downtown.
- A piano.


Cons:
- I'll have to share my life with a roommate. She's Taurus, my senior, super successful, and friendly (I'm creeped by the fact that we're damn similar, even Husky said that she's my future image - EEEKS!). Different age group.
- Takes one and a half effing hour to go to school.
- Okay, I can always meet my friends because it's near downtown, but it won't be the same.



Aaahh... the choice is obvious. But the rebellious side of me yearn the danger living by myself. Anyway, have been scouting for my own place these few days, including the 100 year old building which stairs will creak and kitchen as small as a toiletbowl, not to mention reminded me of a scene from horror movies. We'll see.

My results came out today. I'm indifferent.

I'm gonna die today.
It's called death by guilty association.

If not today then tomorrow. For the first time since my arrival, I'm depressed because of the sun. You know what, I'm harnessing myself from the attack of the aggressive annoyance that caused me to itch like Mr. Noel of the FGG. I need that single-minded determination to say 'OMFG NO!' and rescue all my ship crew from the wreck. I'm so disgusted right now that I could love all the winged-rats in the worlds IF and only IF the fireplace would stop burning and fuming poison. Someone please check the air quality index because I think the B.O. has reached Indonesia.

Tomorrow is supposed to be a good day, we have planned this day for two weeks, not to mention the anticipation that fill our stressed out exam period. It only takes one unexpected turn and one bonehead with larger-than-life ego (mouth guard was invented for a good reason, sir) to ruin it.

Why oh why. AND, before you even dis me as a bitch, which I proudly claim, just keep in mind that my action is a result of long-labored endurance to hypocrisy and maltreatment.

The hero
when we are who we are, which is young, we wanted to do everything. Save the world. We condemn the all the misdeeds in the world and associate ourselves with the movement of getting it right on track. Our spirit lives through it. But as we grow older, those things, the rights of animals, the environment, human rights, illiteracy, we condoned them because we have a more important mission: to survive.

We still care about them, and often express our support. But we do our things and let them be done by other people. These 'other people' often have their own lives to live too. If you watch the Peta video, they are bunch of miserable people. They don't look like they could be in the cover of magazines. Nor do they wish to be. I admire these people for what they believe, and their singleminded determination. They make themselves remembered. How many youth die trying to be models and how many of them had their names recognized? Have you heard of Green peace? Or Amnesty International? The Red Cross?

I know we cannot save the world, it's meant to be. But we can change what matters to ourselves. Should we pull up our socks and change the course of our survival to a fight? A fight to what we believe is right. Let's not urge people to stop buying environmentally hazardous products. Let's educate them about the impact. But first, let's educate ourselves. Be aware of what is going on around us, the cause of our complain to the heat and homeless people's stench.

But here's the thing. Most people tend to speak louder than they do. Let's not be them. Let's do things silently, and let people observe that we do it because we love it, not because we're forced to do so. Prejudicial judgments will go away once they acknowledge that we live our lives that way because we choose to, not because of what we're deprived of options.

Surely, I'm not denying myself from being a consumer, hedonist, etc. More than often, I don't care whereabouts of my products are made. I am still educating myself. I haven't stopped supporting consumerism because I still purchase from them. But I'm educating myself on what matters the most to me: education. I can't be a hero who save the world. But I live by my cause. So pick your cause today, hope for a change. Better yet, be the change you want to see in the world. Maybe one day, we can be the cause of more changes.

Cigarettes and Kings
FINALS ARE OVER! YAY! I was so relieved when I walked out of the gym - where the last exam took place. I did fairly well I think. I was ssooooo relieved I wanted to scream. SPRING BREAK IS HERE! Husky skip his work, we went to Metro, then went home and walk under these rows of Cherry Blossom trees! They're blooming beaautifully. Then later at night, we went to D's party. We played games, eat, drink and be merry. Then we went home, I woke up at 11 today. I'm SO HAPPY! :D

Looking forward to rock climbing and picnics!!
...

A perfect date
Makwin asks us to write a date under $50.

I guess it's a good time to reminisce what we both like and miss in Singapore.

Both of us like to spend time with familiarities, but most of the time we spent our time trying new things. So when we have a special day to celebrate it, most probably we will revisit places that are special for us. We used spent late nights at Bencoolen Street Kopitiam with friends after work. So we'll start our day having breakfast there (Kopi + Kaya Toast! Yum!) ($10). Then we will stroll around Bugis area. Being flâneur that we are, we will go around Bugis Village and walk all the way to Esplanade. We have always enjoyed the Tunnel Art, we will go up and walk our way to Suntec City, enjoying the sun and try to find Es Potong ($2). Afterwards, most probably we'll go to my place when the sun is high. We'll go grocery shopping for some meat and chilli ($10) - always the right choices for him. Then we'll go home, cook and watch DVD or some shows. When the sun sets, we'll take a stroll down to East Coast and enjoy ourselves with some pops ($3) and conversation. We'll finish the day at Chijmes, our favorite place is at La Baroque where we can enjoy live rock performances with some drinks ($20).

In essence, we won't put our comfort at a risk by trying new things we may not like. We always enjoy the sun and like to walk around.


What's missing? A football match or F1 show at the end of the day if we go back in time!!!

Don't upset the rhythm!!

Peace
Still
written by Reuben Morgan

Hide me now, under Your wings.
Cover me within Your mighty hand.

When the oceans rise
and thunders roar.
I will soar with You, above the storm
Father You are king over the flood,
I will be still and know You are God.

Find rest my soul in Christ alone,
Know his power, in quietness and trust.


I'm having a big problem now, and I feel lost, even more lost than ever. And you can say that this is the shittiest period of my life. I'm confused, I don't know where to go, I don't know how to go. But I'm reminded by the preach I heard yesterday, that God loves me. He loves no one more than He loves me. And underneath this storm in my life, He grants me the best presents, love and peace. I'm never alone, never empty. I will be okay.

Yeah of course, I had to dodge the woman who dragged me to be a constant church goer, but I made the decision to always find myself seeking for spiritual breakthrough every day, every minute, every moment of my life. I'm lost in many aspect, but I'm never lost with Him.
...

To watch
The news today announces the friendship gesture made by Obama's speech in Ankara. Let's not be pessimistic, eh? Let's not think, ah, this will only pave the highway for a smoother negotiation between U.S. (much of its intentions) and Middle Eastern countries once the ties established. Let's put all the economic and political intentions aside and embrace the democratic peace. Eh wait, isn't democratic peace a make-believe state lest U.S. rampart posted their panopticons?

Pas du tout! There are more important issues like the prediction by my personal weatherman that this year's summer is going to be the hottest. And I believe since NASA reported that the sea-ice this year is the thinnest ever since, it will likely melt in the summer. I wonder, since the winter was devastatingly cold.

Another more important issues, is the biggest irony in the world. http://thispalestinianlife.blogspot.com/

Philip Riszk, a 27 journalist reported from Gaza under the Israeli occupation. He made a documentary out of it, The Palestinian Life, which will come out this month. Read more.

One of the biggest concern in life I guess, is when the Alpha and Omega only have monologues.

Of course, another concern in life is when you found out that the rent price is hiking and a bachelor pad is a scarcity.

Shoecase
I'm procrastinating to study my finals. I'm sure to pull an allnighter tonight. Anyway... Tragic stories, I have about 30 pairs of shoes in Singapore. I sold about 2 pairs of them in Garage Sale and send 12 pairs of them to Salvation Army, a few of them to trashbins, and I gave the rest of my best shoes to my housemates (Simply because I have no more place to put them in my luggage).

I know that it's difficult to wear them since where I live is not stiletto friendly, hence I convert some of my time to flats and sneakers. But I feel most like myself when I'm on things above 5cm.

I'm just starting. Anyway, I'm looking for a studio on my own, and I found my dream car: 1984/6 Beemer, in red!

Remember the guy who stabbed NTU prof and committed suicide?
Hm!


David Sempat Berteriak, "They want to kill me..."
KOMPAS.com - BENARKAH David Hartanto Widjaja bunuh diri setelah menusuk pembimbing skripsinya, Prof Chan Kap Luk? Atau justru sebaliknya, malah dia yang dihabisi?

Indikasi mengarah ke kemungkinan kedua, yakni David dibunuh. Berbagai kalangan berharap pengumuman hasil autopsi oleh polisi Singapura hari ini, Kamis (2/4), benar-benar objektif atau sesuai dengan fakta sebenarnya.

Ketua Tim Verifikasi kasus kematian David, Iwan Piliang menduga David dibunuh. Dia mengungkapkan hal itu melalui tulisannya dalam blog Kompasiana, setelah berbincang dengan Hartono Widjaja, ayah David, ketika diskusi diadakan oleh Christivita Wiloto, Selasa (17/3), pukul 13.30 WIB.

Sebelum ajal menjemputnya, David sempat berteriak ketakutan karena dikejar oleh beberapa orang dari ruangan Prof Chan Kap Luk (45) di jurusan Electrical Engineering, tempat David berkonsultasi mengenai tugas akhirnya. “They want to kill me, they want to kill me... they....” teriaknya.

Ayah David menuturkan, seorang perempuan pekerja di NTU menyaksikan peristiwa itu. Tapi dia tak mengira itu sebuah teriakan minta tolong dan mengira hanya bercanda. Perempuan itu menceritakan hal itu kepada ayah David di kampus NTU, Senin 2 Maret 2009 sore. Namun Hartono enggan mengungkapkan namanya. “Jika saya sebutkan nama wanita itu kepada Anda, akan dibunuh pula wanita itu kini,” ujar Hartono kepada Iwan Piliang.

Agak mengherankan karena kepolisian Singapura tak membolehkan pihak keluarga yang ditemani pihak Kedutaan Indonesia di Singapura, melihat jasad David. Alasannya masih diautopsi.”Keesokan harinya saya kembali. Anak saya badannya dililit plastik, dibalut macam mumi plastik bening. Tetapi saya melihat lehernya diplester. Ada tiga baris plester,”tutur Hartono.

Tanggal 3 Maret, kedua orangtua David di Singapura, diminta membuat keputusan cepat, mengkremasi jasad atau membawa pulang ke Indonesia. “Entah mengapa kala itu, dalam keadaan kalut kami memutuskan mengizinkan kremasi,” kenang Hartono.

Sebagaimana dugaan banyak kalangan, Iwan juga menduga ada pihak yang ingin merebut hasil penelitian David. Ada konspirasi berlatar kepentingan ekonomi di balik kasus ini. Tugas akhir David berjudul “Multiview acquisition from Multi-camera configuration for person adaptive 3D display.” Riset David berhasil menemukan komponen yang bisa menayangkan obyek 3 dimensi yang bisa tayang di udara. Semacam hologram tiga dimensi yang bisa hidup di udara.

Kemampuan membuat gambar visual 3D itu bisa dimanfaatkan untuk teknologi intelijen, di mana sosok orang digital bisa diprogram masuk ke ruang tertentu, dipantau melalui kamera CCTV, gerakannya dipandu pemindai gerak (motion capture); dapat mengirim data, suara, layaknya manusia benaran yang sedang kita perintah bekerja.

Hasil penelitian ini juga bisa berguna bagi televisi 3 dimensi masa depan, yang dapat ditonton kasatmata, tanpa kacamata khusus. Jika benar itu yang ditemukan, implementasinya bisa macam-macam. Kita bisa saja ganti resepsionis di kantor dengan orang 3D.

Penelitian si penggemar game virtual itu itu mirip riset yang pernah dilakukan Lucas Art & Co. tentang teknologi 3D visual untuk kepentingan iklan, yang mampu tampil di udara. Itu artinya, software animasi 3D, sederhananya, yang semula hanya bisa membuat model dan tayang di komputer atau cuma direkam ke format film dan video, bakal bisa ditayang di udara.

Menurut Hartono, penelitian David sudah 90 persen final saat diserahkan kepada Prof Chan. Dia memang sempat ‘menghilang’ selama dua minggu, khusus untuk menyelesaikan riset itu. Kemudian soft copy dalam flash-disc-nya diserahkan kepada Prof Chan, sebelum dia menemui ajal dengan cara mengenaskan pada hari itu. Kini seluruh bahan hasil penelitian itu berada di tangan polisi dan Prof Chan. Laptop David juga disita polisi Singapura.

Penuturan petugas kebersihan di kampus NTU bahwa David berteriak, “They want to kill me...”akan diverifikasi oleh sekelompok penggiat citizen journalism asal Indonesia yang dipimpin Iwan Piliang. “Kalau kita dapat siapa ‘they’ (orang-orang yang mengejar David) itu, maka ceritanya bisa panjang,” kata Iwan.(edy)
