I swear I saw Fauzi Baadilla tonight in Second Floor. He was standing near the bar, and i passed him, completely star-struck. I even had the thought of smiling at him! Ahahah. He looked super. Short, but super xp Too bad i didn't see him again after that.
Anyway, I spent this Sat night in Second Floor with Bangun, Runi, Ebonk, Hilman, some of Bangun's friends, Maria, Sani, Bebek, Abe and Oho. I know this sounds stupid and shallow, but tonight i was kinda pissed at Hilman. It's totally not important, some of the things he did tonight annoyed me. I don't wanna sound like some obnoxious, uptight, i-want-you-24/7 kind of girlfriend, and i know Bangun and Hilman have been best friends since forever, but God, do they have to spend that much time together? Heck, i'm not even Bangun's girlfriend!!! x6
Another sucky thing i want to rant about: the guy's going back to Bandung this Wednesday, and he's probably not going back again to Jakarta for i don't know how long. Urgh. I hate goodbyes. I know it's only Bandung, i know we still have weekends, i know he's just an SMS or phone call away, but i want him here. I've been having too many great times with him. I curse those ITB people now for having that stupid event in which he's one of the committee next Wednesday.
It's hard to whine and write it down when you're half-high.

Nyeh..
Sunday morning, with nothing to do. So here i am, about to blab as usual. Sat-night recap: Went to Star Deli with Runi, Bangun, Ebonk and Gibond. We played pool with those drunk expats, and most of the time we didn't really know what the hell they were saying 'cos (a) they were drunk and (b) they were Autralian, apparently, and i don't understand the accent. It was fun tho, seeing Bangun and Ebonk (well, Bangun, mostly) tried to communicate with them while playing. The main keys are to laugh along, and to say "yes". And "fuck", when they lost. Hilarious.
Afterwards, Gibond went straight home and the rest of us went to get something to eat in Fatmawati (a place called Wiwit--dunno how to spell it) and then, home. Now it's almost 5 a.m, i'm still fresh, and i don't know what to do, with no one to talk to *kok kesannya kasian banget yaa* Bangun's on MSN, but he's busy placing a bet on that football betting thingy.
Anyway. I think i'm not gonna move to Karawaci. That's my decision for now, but i still can't say if it's final or not. I think i'll make my decision like a day before i'll have to. It has to be impulsive, otherwise i'll just keep going back and forth between the pros and cons. Plus, i have to think about it whenever there's sunshine.
Oh well. End of today's crap.
Things to look forward to:
-Bangun, Ebonk and Runi's Karawaci trip
-Turtles! I'm gonna buy a pair of turtles sometime next week.
-Get high on mushrooms
-Another day/night/day-night out with that "reggae boy" xp

Can you feel my heartbeat when i'm close to you...?
Bandung recap:
Thursday
Arrived at the station at 6 p.m-ish, after a very norak two-and-a-half-hour train trip from Gambir. Bangun and Ebonk picked me and Runi up, and we checked in at Patra Jasa. Had dinner at this beautiful place overlooking the city lights in upper Dago area called Elesgo Cafe, where Ingga joined us. Then we went to--of all places--Nav karaoke. Too bad i was having flu, so i couldn't max out my high-pitched voice xp Later that night, we grabbed some streetside snack (roti and pisang bakar), then went back to the hotel. Bangun couldn't stay over 'cos he had an exam on Friday, so it kinda sucked. The rest of us hung out in the room, playing cards and drinking the Jim Beam i'd brought from Jakarta. We called it a night at around 4-ish.
Friday
Woke up at 11-ish, had breakfast at this Padang restaurant and then went to the station to buy tickets for Saturday. Went back to the hotel to take a bath and waited for Bangun to come. The five of us finally went to Bandung Supermal after having dinner at this warung steak to play bowling. Turned out i can play xp We'd prepared that night to be our teler night, and Bangun's cousin had some mushroom left. We went to Bangun's place to cook the mushroom with eggs, and i was so anxious 'cos i'd never gotten high on mushroom before. After that, we went back to the hotel to pack the Jim Beam, some spliff, guitar and snacks 'cos we planned to get high on this beautiful place in upper Dago. It was a small field on the edge of a small hill, and we could see the city lights below. As a bonus, that night the sky was filled with stars. It was perfect...almost. We were enjoying everything, when suddenly some local men came and joined us. They asked this and that, making us uncomfortable. So after a while, we decided to go back to the hotel and had our fun there. A few rolls of weed and a bottle of Jim Beam later, we were having so much fun xD Too bad Ebonk had to sleep early 'cos he had an exam on Saturday (people and exams..It wasn't the most perfect time to go to Bandung, actually) and before we knew it, Bangun and i were the only ones left. Half-sober, we talked and joked and laughed and..else, before we finally dozed off at around 6 in the morning. Not writing down details, but two words: Lovin' it ;)
Saturday
Time to pack and go back home =( We checked out at 1.30, had lunch in this place called Ma'Uneh (top stuff--a bit pricey but totally worth the foods) then off to the station. Bangun, Ebonk and Ingga walked us right to our seats in the train, and we kinda drew attention. Again, I and Runi were being so norak. It was sad for me to leave Bandung, but at least we weren't going home; we stayed over at Rozelle's at night, also with Bune. So there we were, the four of us spending the rest of the weekend together.
It was a perfect weekend for me. Bandung, then the girls. Heehee. Can't wait for next weekend, when Bangun and Ebonk will be here, having their holidays. At this moment, i just can't get enough of that guy x$

Did i say that i want to leave it all behind?
Why i should move to Karawaci:
1. Of course, it's closer to campus. Save the Rp.4000/l Pertamax my baby drinks.
2. I don't have to wake up early for my morning classes.
3. I'll know how to live on my own. It's like a practice for the future.
4. Maybe it's time to get to know Karawaci, after these years of college.
5. It'll be a change for my life. Have a second home away. Isn't that what i've always wanted?
Why i shouldn't move to Karawaci:
1. Far from my friends. I can't just start my car and drive to Runi/Bune/Rozelle (or maybe even Bangun? It's oh-so-perfect how we all live near each other xp)'s houses a second after i think i want to, and vice versa.
2. I'll need my computer and my internet connection 24/7. The one i'm about to rent doesn't have cable.
3.I'll have to live on my own.
4. I'm not familiar with Karawaci at all. What am i gonna do when the night comes and i'm alone in my room, miles away from home?!
5. A change for my life. Is that really what i want?
I went to UPH with Dinda, Adit and Adit's brother Kae today. The kids had to take care of some registration business, then we drove around to look for houses. I thought it wouldn't be taken seriously, this living-together thing. Turned out, we found a few perfect houses, made a few calls, and now we're left with this one choice. It was a three-storey townhouse in Taman Ayu, with three bedrooms (one of them is the master one, so it's bigger, i and Dinda can take it), and one for the maid. It's semi-furnished, it has air-con and a telephone line. Plus the price is reasonable, and the owner said she'd save the house for us 'til July 'cos that's when Kae and Dinda enrolls, as long as we pay the down payment ASAP.
The three of them are so excited about this, but i'm not. I'm really torn; half of me wants to try to live away from home (and Mummy) and who knows, once i'll know what's Karawaci like for more than half-a-day, i'll actually like it. Maybe i'll even meet new people who can...click with me. But the other part of me doesn't really want all those. The other part of me prefers to drive back and forth everyday, have nothing to do at home, or go to my friends' houses when i'm really bored.
It's times like these, when i wish i went to the same campus as the girls. And in this case, UPH. 'Cos really, those townhouses did look inviting! It's definitely safe, and it's got grocery stores, laundry services, restaurants, photocopy (and the whole PC rental) places, and oh yeah, there's Dixie now in Karawaci! Starbucks, Dixie..See, it would've been perfect. When i was in Adit's car, looking for houses with four rooms for rent, all i could think about was how perfect it would have been, if those four rooms were for me, Runi, Bune and Rozelle.

Today
First of all, massive thanks to Hasief and Yoga for the goodies tonight. A Ryan Adams CD and a Hard Rock Cafe shotglass. Woo hoo! I'm listening to the CD Sief, and uh, staring at the glass, Ga...?
Anyway, on to the recap, the three of us and Anita went to Bulungan, to this place called Warung Apresiasi. It's a place where amateur musicians can have their 15 minutes of fame, i think. I'd heard about the place since years ago, but i'd never gone there until tonight. Not so bad, i mean, aside from that band who was on stage when we arrived (actually, it's the vocalist--pake kemeja merah, celana bahan abu-abu, sepatu kantoran and he clung to the mic like there was no tomorrow..God help my eyes and my ears).
I had to go back early, though, cos i'd promised i'd pick Dinda up at Kae's. All in all, it was a brief fun =D Hehe guys, next time longer, okay. And pick a place where we don't have to shout all the time to each other
...Yknow, it's not easy to do blog, MSN and SMS (and go head over heels by it xp) all in the same time, so this is it for today. Lemme just say one more thing; udara malam memang suka bikin orang gombal yaa... xp

Teenage mutant not-so-ninja turtle
How would it feel to have a shell? Yeah, like a turtle. I'd want to be one if i could be an animal for a day (hey, i still love to be all human yknow). My reasons? Well, mainly it's because the shell. I think it'd be nice if i could hide from the world whenever i want to, just by ducking my head in. I wouldn't have to hear whatever sounds or words i don't wanna hear, and i could avoid seeing any unpleasant views. I wouldn't even have to talk. How nice. I could just be inside, taking a break from the world outside.
What would it be, though? How does a shell look like from the inside? Can anyone tell me? Is it quiet? Is it fun to stay there? Is it calming?
Michaelangelo, Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, anyone..?
Enough turtles. ...Well, nothing's really new from daily life. My holiday's gonna be over in like two weeks. Damn. I'm thinking of going to Bandung with Runi, but i don't know. Maybe this is just hormones talking. I mean come on, Peds, can't you wait for a week or two?! =p
I wanna be a turtle, so i wouldn't have to listen to Coldplay's Scientist on telly and my shuffled WinAmp list tonight.

In your arms, I'd stay forever if i could
2005!
Had a small party here at my house last night with the girls, Bangun, Ebonk, Jaya, Maria, Eblack, Mugho, and Syarif. It wasn't as...merry as last year's, but it certainly was fun. We managed to stay sober up til 12, and did the countdown together. With party hats, cheap-looking masks, and even-cheaper-looking fake crowns, we blew our party horns as loud as we could right there in front of the TV downstairs.
Done with the countdown (and after everyone took turns saying "Happy New Year" in our native languages--and that's Aceh for me), we went upstairs, and started the real party. Still in our party props, we opened those pretty bottles of beer, Absolut Citron, and of course, Chivas. The rest was a blur to me. All i can remember is that i was having so much fun. Who needs a big party, with people i'm not really acquainted with (i.e orang-orang sok yang kerjaannya cuma menuh-menuhin tempat dengan duduk diam leyeh dan gak seru), if i can make a small one, with my close friends around?! Too bad i got, um, sick and i went to sleep early. But even in my half-sleep with my head spinning wildly, i was still surrounded by people doing stupid things. Besides, it was a very, um, comfortable sleep, i almost didn't wanna move a muscle again ever xp Thanks, Ngun ;)
A party isn't a party without an end. People had to go home, or worse, to Bandung =6 All in all, it was a great night; definitely better than i'd expected. One of the highlights was when the clock stroke 12 and Runi smoked a cigarette for the first time in her life. Yes, that alcohol-drinking, weed-inhaling girl had never smoked a cigarette before.
So there goes 2004. Again, i hope this year will be a lot better. Oh, and i finally have a resolution for this year: to eat vegetables xD Totally not important, but let's start with comitted with small things, shall we. Cheers, oh-five.
