Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship ''Enterprise''. Her ongoing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life-forms and new civilizations; to boldly go where no one has gone before.

       

VERY very mind provoking (for me anyways)...

I'm quite satisfied with my quad core system, but seriously... this thing blow me off... ssd.i.want.badly.

I don't know why personality test lately attracts me.. Is it because by nature we want to know more about our real self as we grow older?

Empat tahun plus-plus tinggal di Amerika, tiba-tiba aku jadi teringat suatu hal yang mbedain nyetir di sini dan di Indo. Kalau di Amerika, yang namanya hiburan di jalanan itu ya segala sesuatu digital entertainment yang bisa kita dapatkan di jalanan. Mulai dari dengerin radio biasa, sirius XM radio (yang harus langganan), HD Radio (radio gratis dengan kualitas CD), cd audio, mp3, imeem melalui cellphone (G1 rox!), menikmati DVD atau bahkan gaming console :D Nah, menurutku jalanan di Indo itu jauhhh lebih seru. Selain isinya lebih sadis, dinamis, dan multi-jenis (angkutan umum berbagai ukuran dan gaya:becak, bemo, bajaj, angkot, busway, damri, dsb) - jalanan di Indo itu lebih atraktif alias banyak hiburan. Dari jalanan yang kanan kiri penuh orang, pasar yang melubar ke jalanan, pedagang kaki lima, tukang parkir yang pasang badan di tengah jalan demi menyelipkan toyota kijang di sela-sela dua mobil, sampai pak ogah yang kehadirannya diam-diam disyukuri semua orang (padahal bukannya itu tugas pak polisi yah?).  Nah, last but not least, satu hal yang aku rasa uniquely Indonesian: tulisan yang kadang disertai gambar nakal di belakang mobil. Sungguh, bumper sticker yang kami dapati di Amerika ga ada apa-apanya kalo kita bandingkan kadar kelucuannya :D PesanLewat.com adalah blog mengenai "cerita dari jalan raya", isinya berkisar tentang tulisan-tulisan tersebut.

Favoritku tentu saja: IJOLUMUT

Dan yang sedikit bikin hati bertanya-tanya

Tuhan, aku lelah berdoa ketika tak cukup kalimat berucap mengutarakan maksud, mewujudkan rasa ketika burung masih berkicau tak peduli debu menghalau menghanyutkan bunyinya parau Aku lelah berdoa saat mata tak sama hati mentap bunga di antara embun pagi merekah indah... Lalu, tertimpa cahaya mentari Ah, Tuhan... Bagaimana aku harus berkata doa jika lidahku kian jauh jika jiwaku terasa pecah tak sinkron dengan pancaindera mengaburkan harapan sebelum dan sesudah doa sampai habis suara? Tapi, apalagi yang bisa kulaukan karena dalam kelelahan doaku, kubutuh Kau yang ada entah di mana. Ya sudah. Amin saja.

A very cute song from The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.  I hope this is not a spoiler, but I think the song pretty much sums up the whole movie :)

The Call

Regina Spektor

It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word
And then that word grew louder and louder
’till it was a battle cry

I’ll come back..
When you call me
No need to say good bye

Just because everything’s changing
Doesn’t mean it’s never been this way before

All you can do is try to know who your friends are
As you head off to the war
Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light

You’ll come back when its over
No need to say good bye
You’ll come back when it’s over
No need to say good bye.

Now we’re back to the beginning
It’s just a feeling and no one knows yet
But just because they can’t feel it too
Doesn’t mean that you have to forget

Let your memories grow stonger and stonger
’til they’re before your eyes

You’ll come back
When they call you
No need to say good bye
You’ll come back
When they call you
No need to say good bye

 

Do one brave thing today.... and then run like hell! Did you notice the small penguin in the back... yeap, she's holding a bag! must be a tourist..

A friend once told me that I am - without doubt - an introvert. And I kinda just swallow it, and accept that as my reality. Whenever people asked me about my personality, I answered "well,I've heard that I'm an introvert. True or not, you'll be the judge". But I cannot recall whether I ever actually did the personality test. Now here I am - 4 am in the morning - decided that I should at least give it a run before coming to that conclusion.

Jung Typology Test INFP - Introverted Intuitive Feeling Perceiving Famous people of your particular type Princess Diana, Michel de Montaigne, J.K. Rowling, Anton Chekhov Jungian Type Test INFJ - Introverted Intuitive Feeling Judging Careers Counselers, clergy, missionaries, teachers, medical doctors, dentists, chiropractors, psychologists, psychiatrists, writers, musicians, artists, psychics, photographers, child care workers, education consultants, librarians, marketeers, scientists, social workers.. Blessed with an idealistic vision, they do best when they seek to make that vision a reality.

Let's just say that if I want to be the next J.K Rowling,  I would need to define my idealistic vision first. So let's jot down the list: world without war... greener environment.. and oh why of course, Dokodemo door. Yes, that would be ideal.

It is seriously been a while since I write something here. Quite a few number of people have asked me for an update, which I trully appreciate. I know that there's only literally a handful of people who read my blog, but knowing that there is actually someone out there who care about the existence of this blog always makes feel warm and fuzzy inside :) So let's see... my previous post was on Jan 28. That was on the 3rd-4th week of my Winter Quarter that I really cheerish. And the reason is just like most of you already know: that was my last quarter! Indeed, I've graduated, and I can proudly put B.S.CSE behind my name. Thank you everyone, I know that without all your supports I wouldn't be able to achieve it. God, up there, you know that you're behind all of this, so just to let you know: Yes, I still remember you! A Zillion of thanks for you Mr. J! Anyways, my parents were here with me during the awesome graduation weekend and 2 weeks after that. We had a roadtrip to Niagara Falls and New York. Niagara Falls is still amazing as ever (been there in the past), even though when I came there most of the water was still frozen. While for New York... well, let's just say that I have a mix feeling about the city. Some parts of New York are simply majestic - beautiful - phenomenal (especially the chinatown food? hehehe..) !! But most of the other part are sadly untaken care of... The subway station... man, Singapore MRT and European transit systems are wayyyyyyyyyy better than what New York can offer.... Ok ok, enough with my rambling. Praise the Lord, I am now working... still in Columbus... not Austin... (hi Vidi! Go bucks!). Life... is different now.. No more sad homework, no more of those dreaded early morning recitation class, no more final and no more juggling through crazy schedule. Everyday is pretty much the same day now.. except maybe Friday, where everything seems move a tad bit faster ;) Hmmm, let's see... I guess that's all the update I have.. Let's hope that my next post is not 4 months from now.. Ciao! *lazily walking back to my lurk cave*
