The End is the Beginning

Ta
Dai
Ma~!!


It always feels good to be back home, no matter where you were from. This year's Idul Fitri was fun as well, thanks to my cousins who came along, I really don't know what will happen should none of them were not able to.

Here's why:
1. Those silly cats from last year were not there (damn shame indeed... :( )
2. It rained nearly every single night, which didn't really helped anything to the cold weather
3. The only entertainment I got before they arrived was my brothers NDS, which he also used to play as well. Well, at least I got my books to kill time.
4. The cookies ran out pretty fast :(
5. We hardly went anywhere, thanks to the weather and the traffic.

So, yeah, the whole vacation would fall to pieces should none of them came. It would have been perfect had Rissa and Iman were there - especially on the 'laugh-at-the-radio-shows-for-hours' part, they couldn't go because their father was ill. I really hope that he'll get well soon.

I do earned some achievements there though, lessee.... Ah yes, I beat Fire Emblem - Shadow Dragon.


I also continued Castlevania - Order of Eclesia from where I left it long ago.And finally kicked the karate-kicking-maniac-laughing Dracula's butt.


And I finished the "Magic of Thinking Big" book again.


I really recommend all those three activities for you to try them out as well. :D

But something bothered me though, when we were arrived on Padang, my head got so screwed up because of the pressure from the landing that I got 2 days straight of headache. And on the next day I got a semi-permanent nose-bleeding, which lasted for a few days. Today the blood has stopped flowing, but it's still there; I still spit in red/chocolate sometimes.

Well, that's all for now guys, my trigger-finger's itchy..

Homeward Bound Part 2

I'm going home to Bukit Tinggi tomorrow!

Gotta admit that it would feel a little bit lonely without Leno-chan around this year, but this time we won't be going home by ourselves, some of my cousins will come as well, although they'll be coming 4 days after we do. I really hope it will be more fun this way.
We'll be leaving tomorrow morning after sahur, I hope it won't be so chilly, I don't want to catch the morning cold.

Now I need to find someone who could fill my ISML votes for me while I'm away, can't miss the double elimination period, especially with a certain flame-haze dominating around.
My votes for this year's Tiara are for her, Mikoto, and Azusa, I hope one of them wins.

By the way I just watched K-ON!! episode 22, even though I already what will happen since the manga had covered this part already, the anime made it more touching, as usual.
And since I've graduated as well, that episode felt a little bit more personal to me. Nice going, girls.

Now, it might be a little bit too early, but I might not be able to say it when I got home, who knows what will happen. So, I'm going to say it now, in Indonesian (I think it's starting to become a habit, but whatever).

"Selamat hari raya Idul Fitri, minal aidin wal faidzin, mohon maaf lahir dan batin"

To you, my readers, thank you for your support by reading this blog up till now. I hope you have a good time with your family as well this year!

Let's see if those silly cats from last year are still around back home.

Family Time

There are times that you would have an impressive premonition skills, the times that you already know what will happen after you completed an event, ages before you even do it.

For example, you already know that there will be people asking for a treat after you graduate, even before you do your final project.

As for me, the first wave came from my lab friends. I honestly had a half-hearted plan to sneak back home after my presentation and treat them some other time, but they were actually waiting for me outside the conference room, there's no way I can say no after that.

The second wave? Well, it's from my cousins back home. This one's inevitable since I was the one who proposed it myself anyway. After some discussion we decided to watch a movie and grab something to eat before going home.

At first we considered watching The Expendables, but all of the seats till the night shows were full. We decided to watch Salt instead. It turned out great in the end, as expected from the so-called "female Bourne". No reviews guys, I don't want to spoil anything, heh heh.

Here are some pictures from that day.


Ah, my dear family... By the way, the one with the red polo shirt is my big brother, not a cousin, I did say that I have one somewhere in this blog didn't I? I was the one taking pictures, so I was not in any of them, too bad.

Speaking of pictures, Rissa told me that some guy asked around about her to her friends in Microbiology, he even claimed that she's a campus celebrity. Since that anonymous guy was an Electrical Engineering student of my year, she suspected that I was the one spreading such rumor.

Well, I for one have no memory of doing such thing. Although I do remember that there were times that I have to explain that she's my sister (or cousin, I said this quite a few times already) whenever someone saw her picture, especially the ones with me in there.

I hope the cause of the rumor wasn't because of this blog, since there are pictures of her as well here. Still, if that was the case, then this blog actually have readers, which is a good thing.

But seriously sis, even if you were, in fact, really a campus celebrity, I'd say you're qualified in every aspect. ^_^

I also found something interesting:


I thought Nasi Goreng Gila was already weird enough for a dish name, now there's this Nasi Bego, or Idiot Rice, or Baka Gohan, or whatever you might want to call it. Does this mean that when you eat it you'll be an idiot? I don't know, maybe I'll try it out when I get the chance.

That's all for now, I haven't taken a bath yet (Which is actually a normal thing for me since it's the fasting month). Cherio.

The First Ironic Birthday...

Happy birthday to me,



Happy birhtday to me,



Happy birthday, Happy birthday,



Happy birthday to me!!!


Thank you very much! Especially to everyone else who remembered, can't express my gratitude enough to you guys. ^^

I made a list of the people who went out of their way and congratulated me first in the morning.

So here are the first blood awards:
- First, ever = Dieta Febriyanti (around 12am, Australian time)
Well, can't be helped about that, you were like 5 hours earlier than anyone else, sis. Oh, since you won the "first, ever" award, the others will go to the people right after you.

- First on Yahoo Messenger = Adithya Kirana a.k.a Henshin (01:01am)
The cup goes to my baptized-nephew, the first (2nd after Dieta) one to go and congratulated me on the messenger. Thanks a lot. :D

- First on Facebook = Alissa Ully Ashar (around 12am)
Now here's something quite unexpected, the first (again, 2nd after Dieta) one who congratulated me on Facebook was a generic beauty from the Electrical Engineering 2009th generation. Thank you again Icha. ^_^

- First on phone = Auntie Inet & Ryan Adriansyah (somewhere around 05:30am)
My closest auntie and my brother (cousin) who is a member of the 'baka quartet' in the family (me included). Thank you very much, love you both.

- First on SMS = Auntie Indri (03:55am)
Also known as "Mama I" (no, she's not from MI6 or MIB), another member of my precious family. My auntie who's the mother of my dearest sister. Thank you and a big hug too. ^_^

- First in person = My mother (04:00am)
THE most precious member in my great family, the one who gave birth to me, the one who I'll love for eternity, my own mother. Thank you mom, I swear I'll return the favor. =)


It's supposed to be a great day of the year, really.. But this birthday also came with a very bad news...

Another one of my uncle passed away around 05:00am today... And, yet again, there was nothing that I could do to prevent it happening...

And he was on the phone with my mother last night too, and even claimed that he's all fine and healthy yesterday...

Dear Allah, please... Forgive every wrong that he had made, and guide his soul to be on Your side... Amen...

Well, gotta go again to the campus, I haven't settled the score with El Padrino for today. Let's hope that this will be the last time that I have to go around and make repairs to my final project report.

Ode to My Family

There's a saying that I believe everyone of you have heard at least 2 times in your life: "You don't really know what you got 'till it's gone"

I realized I've wasted my time during my first year, and I'm paying for the consequence these past few months, quite dearly I might add.

But I also realized something else: A loving family...
My parents, my uncles, my aunts, my sisters (or cousins, like I said on previous posts, whatever makes you happy)... Nearly all of them wished me for the best so that I could pass this final moments of college...

I never told anyone of them, but... when they cheered on me.. I hid and shed some serious tears... Part of the reason is because I know that up there, my uncle that we've lost, also wishes the same thing...

God.. I don't know how to thank you for giving me this family...

I won't let them down again this time. I'm going to end this 6 and a half year war, once and for all.
(yes, I know there will be another war right after this, don't worry)

Now, as a parting gift for today, my ISML votes

Now this is some serious match... O_o

Facepalm'd

So let's review this day.

-I planned to go to Bandung at 05.30, but the whole family overslept so I had to take the 06.30 travel.

-I went to my professor in hopes for enlightenment for my thesis. What I got was some "Lol n00b, DIY" response.

-Thought I'd ask my friend instead. What I got from him was some "OMGWTF iz dis haxx0r shit" response.

-Decided that there was no further use staying around any longer, I went to my (rented) crib. Thought I'd stick around for a bit and check out my siblings there...
Only to find that one is still in deep sleep while the other was about to go out.

-Thus my business at Bandung was (prematurely) done by 10 o'clock, so I headed out with my sis and went separate ways so I could catch the 10.30 travel..
Which turned out that there were no travels for 10.30 & 11.30, so I took the one for 12.30.

-Thought I'd kill some of those 2 hours by walking around Ciwalk. I did expected it to be empty, but not as desolate as I found out.

-Went to check out new movies at XXI, thought I'd pass some time at the arcade along the while... Yet it was still not open yet, so no access to the arcade as well.

-Had enough, I went back to the travel pool. Accompanied by light, passionate rain.

-It was raining cats & dogs along the way to Jakarta, so it was pretty cold.

-On my way back home, my path was blocked by flood, so I had to take a detour. Which was far enough to sweat me from the top to the bottom.


Fukou da...


At least things got better since I was back at home though.

By the way, don't forget to vote at ISML. 2 hours remaining.

Oh, and NZL vs SVK: 1-1. Nice one eh NZ? First goal in world cup, ever.

Sayonara...

This will be the first mourning post...... ever......

My uncle passed away a few hours ago, and... God, I was just... devastated..

You wanna know why..? Because I feel responsible for his death.. God gave me the way to cure many people, be it hypertension, diabetes, stroke, cholesterol, cancer, osteoporosis, whatever...

Yet I wasn't able to save my own uncle... If only I pay more attention to my family's health, I could have at least tried to prevent this.. If only I haven't wasted those 4 months and focused on my job more, I could have done more for him...



Innalillahi wa innailaihi raji'un.. Rest in peace, my dear uncle.... May God smiles upon your return to His side...



Now, I'm going to say this to those who still looks down at what I'm doing, don't feel like doing it due to laziness, thinking that it's a stupid thing to do, or God knows whatever damned reasoning you have, hear this:

I've lost a member of my family, and I know that I could have done something more for him if only I was aware and more serious in doing this current job of mine. I may not be able to save his life, because it's God's decision, but at least I won't feel this much guilt..

If you still stick to your cursed idealism and still saying that you don't need my help in anyway or saying that you don't need to think about health at such young age. So be it.

But if THIS happened to you, the only one to be blamed would be yourself, and you no longer have the right to say "what can I do?"...

Happy Belated New Year!

Hey guys, what's goin on?
I'm currently typing this on my way back home inside the travel car, gonna post after I arrive there.

Well, as the post said, happy belated new year people! Hope things will be better. A year has passed so suddenly that I forgot to post it, a shame really, but it's not like my new year's eve was a blast anyway, altough it wasn't a boring one - I spent the last night of 2009 playing Counter Strike with my buddy.

Lame? Yes.

But it's worth noting because I appreciate the fact that I at least did something fun, compared to others who won't even try to enjoy the night. Could be because they don't know what to do, or they are sick, or they were mourning on something instead, or...... they are working? (I REALLY pity these guys).

So if anyone reading this laughed at how lame I spent the new year's eve, please to the world a favor by looking at how lame did YOU spent it first.

Have you got your resolutions for this year? I got quite a lot, but describing all those will be quite tiring right now, so let's save it for later shall we?

So anyway, the story for today would be... a hypothermia.

Why? Well, when I was on my way to the travel car pool that will take me back to Jakarta, it started to rain. A small one at first, then it periodically gets bigger. So big that the street was flooded.

It was a two-lane street, and it's a shopping centre, so I bet you got the idea on how crowded it was. The traffic won't move an inch, the people sheltered themselves under anything they could find, and the flood didn't help anything.

But wait, it gets better. The angkot that I rode on decided to make a detour from his route, and the passsengers that needed to go to places on his usual route were forced to get off in the middle of the rain, this includes me. The reason? Because it would be useless for him to endure the traffic because he won't find more passengers within his time limit, yes the inhuman act was all because of money.

Oh, and we still have to pay. So I gave him his money and cursed at him. I yelled quite loud, hope he heard it.

And there I was, in the middle of the storm. Shelterless and without umbrella.

I. Was. And. Currently. Still. Freezing.

Typing this took a lot of effort you know, right now I can't feel my legs and my hands are numb, moving my fingers is not an easy matter as well. It's all thanks to my drenched clothes & pants, wet sandals, and the bloody air conditioner. My body won't stop shivering.

May God rain eternal misfortune on that cursed angkot driver.

I REALLY wish for a hot chocolate....

====================================================================================
Now I'm at home, I was too tired last night to post this, and I had a small chat with my mom as well. So here it is, a story that I had yesterday.

Me? I'm perfectly fine, even after all that. Thank you Allah. ^_^

Dream InVader

Okay, maybe it's because I haven't posted anything up till this month, but I had a ridiculous dream last night. I was taking a stroll on a plaza with Darth Vader and we talked about various, daily stuffs. And he was quite a friendly guy there, he even tell jokes. Yes, it doesn't make any sense, I know.

Well, putting that aside, today is my sister's (or cousin, like I said before, whatever makes you happy) birthday. Let's wish her a happy birthday everyone!


Happy birthday Ririn, wish you all the best. ^_^

Oh by the way, yesterday I met Mrs. Ferawaty Hartono at Paris van Java, the wife of the greatest Indonesian billionaire that I'm familiar of and one of the richest Indonesian woman, we shook hands and talked quite casually. Honestly, I feel honored. =D

Here's her and the family

I really hope my family life can be like theirs. And I will make it happen, just watch and learn, and please don't get in the way for your own good. =p

EGamesBox Gathering, October 17th, 2009

Hey everybody, sorry for the lack of post, been busy lately. No seriously, I was.

Two days ago I went home to Jakarta to attend the EGamesBox gathering at Taman Anggrek Mall at Saturday afternoon. I thought I'd take my best friend and my junior along, since they're still members, although not the active ones. Hey the more the merrier, right?

The next day, my brother decided to tag along, since he got something to do there. And my junior said that he'll catch up later after he's done with his class. So the three of us - me, my brother, and my buddy - departed together from Kodam.

It was an awkward situation on the way there, my brother is not the kind of person who'd easily talk to strangers, and neither is my buddy. I tried to ease the situation by talking to one of them at a time, it was quite an effort, really. ~_~

Still, everything was cool until we arrived at Taman Anggrek Mall. The bus stopped to drop passengers, in the middle of the road, we started to get off the bus right then. A passenger got out, then my brother, 2 more passengers, then me... and the bus started moving and accelerated at high-speed.

See, my mind was set on getting off the bus, and I fear that the driver won't stop until the next "station", so I did what any crazies with a frantic mind would do: I jumped off.

I landed on my right foot, a VERY bad move. My left leg tried its best to balance my body, but it failed. I tried to avoid a face-first impact on the asphalt, so I turned my body during the fall.. A little to far. I landed ass-first on the asphalt, and was lying on the ground for about a second... Then a motorcycle went past my left side, missing me for a few centimeters...

My brother came back to help me get up from my NDE (Near Death Experience), all the while my legs were shaking and my hands felt so far away. But I didn't experience any fear until the next thing happened; My vision started to darken a bit by bit 'till it was near pitch black, and my ears felt like being covered by sound-dampening earmuffs.

I tried to reach out for my brother and grabbed his backpack, sticking close to him as we cross the road in my blinded, trembling state. I knew we have crossed the road when I no longer see fast movements in the dark and the fact that we no longer walking fast. Sometime after we walked further, my vision started to return bit by bit, I let go of my brother when I could at least see images of people in front of me. I leaned on my buddy while trying to stabilize my legs, after a while my vision returned to normal, although my ears were still feeling muffed.

By the time we entered the Mall, my senses have returned, although the pain were still there. We separated from my brother and went to 4th floor, where the rest of EGamesBox members were waiting.

We arrived at the meeting place, greeting everyone there. And then we just lounge around and talk about various stuffs while waiting for the rest of the members to arrive, mostly about RF Online or Point Blank. Once we waited long enough, the moderators officially opened the event.

First off, we did some kind of test to see how active we are on EGamesBox, and then we were sent off to find the moderators who scattered around the 4th floor. Once all that were done, the official event ended, and then we went outside the food court to take a picture and went to Timezone. Yes, the events during the gathering were only a few, although the gathering lasted for around 5 hours, but it's still fun nevertheless, and the last part before we got home was simply too hilarious to miss.

I learned 2 things that day: The first one is how I have made so many friends up till now, regardless of their backgrounds. This realization is really exciting and interesting at the same time, I used to be the shy guy of the class, now I could walk up to someone I never even met before and talk to them.

The second is my NDE, I realized that God haven't taken my life even after that because I still got a reason to live in this world. I'm not really sure, but I think now I know what His reason is. Let's just hope that my hunch is correct, then everything will turn out fine.

That'll be all for today I think, my body is so beat-up that I can no longer hold the aching and the sleepy feeling... Oh, by the way, if you want to look at the pictures, it's all here.

Good night everyone, oyasuminasai.

Tadaima, Minna~!!

Ta
Dai
Ma~!!

We're finally back from Bukit Tinggi!! God I really miss the internet... >_<

Many things happened back home, a lot of them are interesting. However, I don't think they'll fit in if I write them all here, would they?

First thing first, here's my grandma's house.


And here's the panoramic view from there.


And here are the creatures that filled the days we had at home.

As you can see, they don't really care about our own well being =="

We also went to some places, though most of them are our relatives' houses, which you might find not interesting, so I won't spill it here. But, here's a panoramic view as a freebie.


Ah, I also watched Toradora! from beginning to the end while I was there, review will follow after this post.

Well, I think that should be all for the short review of my homevillage visit. For those who are interested to know more, feel free to chat with me whenever I'm available at Yahoo Messenger.

Cheers to all. ^^v

Homeward Bound

I'm going to my home village today at Bukit Tinggi, West Sumatra. So I won't be able to get online till at least next Thursday.

Boy, it has been so long since my last visit there, wonder how many things have changed after all these time.

It might sound odd, but today's departure worry me a bit. Don't know why, maybe I just miss being inside an airplane

Oh, and this will be the first time for Reno-chan (my lappy) to travel overseas, I do hope she won't get vertigo or nausea on the way.

Ah, by the way Rissa, my sis, asked me to bring her the Gadang clock tower. Can't wait to see her face when I get home. =D

That'll be all for now, hope to see you all again next week. Bye-bee.

The Fashion Day

"Lebaran sebentaaar lagi...."
..So they say. Well, it is coming soon.. But that's not the main point here.

I bet I'm not the only one complaining about the trend that happens every single time we, moslems, celebrate Lebaran; The never ending madness of fashion show-offs.

My parents pointed out the reason of why people always buy new clothes for the big day as "To show how much we care about our children and to show respect to the people we visit".

It's still sounds like brahmin dung to me. I mean, if you go so far as to buy new clothes with hundreds thousand of rupiahs, simply to show that you care for your children to other people, wouldn't it be considered merely as to "protecting your pride as a parent"?

And if you want to show respect to the people that you visit, you don't need to use freshly bought clothes, all you need are tidy clothes that reflects your sincere motive of maintainin silaturahmi with the people you visit. Wouldn't using freshly bought clothes every year for your visit could mean you showing off your wealth?

On top of it all, there is no such saying from the prophet Muhammad that "you should buy new clothes for every Lebaran".

I have no idea when this trend started. It feels like the "chocolate giving" trend in Valentine's days

Oh Dear...

So here's the deal; We, my brother and me, decided to watch Up! together on this weekend. And I suggested right away that we should take our cousins too. He left me with the arrangements, inviting, checking the time schedule, those stuffs.

So I was looking at the movie schedules on the XXI theater. And here's what I saw



Yep, those are the core of genuine Indonesian movies... Horrors..
But it's not the theme that I'm worrying about as you can see..

For God's sake, can't they at least get a better title for them?? =____="

And Another One Goes Away..

Just last week, my sister (or cousin, whatever makes you happy) passed her conference session in order to determine her graduation. Since she got through with no problems, this means she will be graduated on next month.

Of course, such occasion won't do well without any celebration, so my uncle held a feast at Hanamasa. I returned to Bandung just in time for this. :p

Here's my sister along with her friends from Microbiology faculty

And here's her parents, my uncle and auntie, during their happy moments of their daughter's success

And here's our sister and brother-in-law, sharing some moment of their own. :)

And here's the main star of that day, my most beloved sister


I was so happy that I shed some tears of joy when I got back to my crib.. =,)

Although it's quite sad to lose another sibling, but life must go on right? Besides, this means that I have to struggle harder if I claim myself to be a loving brother for my cousins.

Congratulations sis, I hope you achieve all your dreams.. Love you. ^_^

Another year for the world

Happy belated new year!!...Is what I want to say. Seriously, didn't realize it was already a next day. =_=''

I was planning to post last night but me and my friend downstairs were having a good time terrorizing Liberty City with our own TX-3000 Terminator codenamed "Niko Bellic", completely invulnerable to bullets, explosions, high drops, extreme collisions - you name it, armed with complete arsenal of destruction in unlimited ammo, and has a certain interest in molotov cocktail complete with a Hobgoblin obsession minus the hoverboard plus an NRG 900.

I spend my new year's eve with my 3 cousins, it wasn't really a roof raising activity, we only strolled to Paris van Java, ate at a Japanese Restaurant, watching 2 movies in a row (!), and hanging out on the edge of the parking lot while waiting for the traffic to calm down.

Nevertheless, it was another moment of my life that I will cherish forever. Back then the only new year events that I do was whispering "happy new year" quietly in my bed when the clock reached 00.00 and sending messages to my buddies, then going to sleep.

Here's the lonely quartet, separated from home where the rest of the family was having a big time Barbecue party.


Aditya Ramadhan aka Adit - my cousin, my brother, my homie - and Anita Pravitasari aka Anita or Nyta - my dear cousin who, in our childhood, was able to completely piss me off just with 3 words (lol) -, a great example of loving siblings. If you want to read Nyta's blog, it's right here, though recently she started a new one.


Rizka Febriana aka Rissa - my dearest cousin, closest to a sister, who's always able to cheer me up whenever I bother her with the stories of my broken life - and Nyta. Two girls who really likes novels and movies.


This is all three of them on the escalator ride. Sorry for the blur guys, the peaceful moment was just moving, get me? Haha. :D


Yep, that's me. Their unreliable big brother who's willing to give up even his life for them whenever the situation calls for it..

That's all for now I guess. My eyelids are giving up.. >.<
