On the News Today

Maybe that's the real reason why Transformers 3 is not in Indonesia yet.

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.

D-Day -1

I will begin this post in Indonesian language, since I believe that all of the people who follow my blog (if there is any who actually would) speaks Indonesian. Therefore:

"Selamat menjalankan ibadah puasa di bulan suci Ramadhan ini, mohon maaf lahir dan bathin"

And a little fun fact before we continue.


Moving on.


I realized that I haven't posted anything in these days.. It's not that I don't have anything to write, but the mood was never there.

I guess I'm always like this whenever I'm tense, or maybe it's simply because I got fed up on typing thanks to my final project report.

Well, tomorrow's the big day. At 1500 hours, my final battle after enduring a 6 years of suffering as a college student, will commence. I have never been beaten by a final boss in every RPG I played, I really hope that this would also act like one of them..

Anyway, personal rants was never an interesting topic, so I'll give you guys a news flash:

Congratulations to Shana for winning the ISML Diamond necklace!!

Which means that she got 5 necklaces up till now, 3 of which taken from this year match. That's some serious record.

Frankly, I was hoping that Arturia would get it though. But I guess it's only natural that the flame-haired burning eyes hunter could pull this through; she's one of the, if not THE best loli-tsundere ever lived.

Good luck for the double elimination rounds Shana-chan, you're going to need it!

Well, with that being said, I guess it's time to go back to work. I need to prepare some more for the final battle. Wish me luck as well guys!!

[P.S: I'm hungry.... +_+]

Meng'kebo'

I've never thought that I would see the day when I actually encounter this peanut brand.



So I was at my friends' lab on campus, and they opened a plastic filled with gift snacks. And one of them was.. this..

Okay, there's nothing wrong about the grammar, but since it was a completely obvious copy of "Dua Kelinci" from my homeland, why not go with the "Two Rabbits" title? Well, in the end we came to a conclusion that it was meant to be a sequel for the Double Dragon.

The title says "Roasted Menglembu Peanut". This really sparked our interest to find out about this.. Menglembu.. Seriously, it was a new vocabulary for all of us there.

One of my friends was genius enough to describe it as "a Malaysian slang for 'Kumpul Kebo' (an act of cohabitation)", we laughed our asses off. Here's the man responsible.



Now I know some of you people might be confused as to why "Menglembu" can be translated into "Kumpul Kebo". I'll do my best to guide you through your confusion, despite being so damn sleepy myself...

First off, let's take a look at the word itself, "Menglembu". In Indonesian, words that starts with "Meng-" are a verb. So if we use that analogy in the word, it basically means "Doing Lembu", or "Doing Lembu stuffs".

Second, let's take a look at the "Lembu" part. "Lembu" in Indonesian basically means a cow. And as you may have known, cows reminds you of buffalos, and vice versa. And a buffalo in Indonesian is a "kerbau", which usually pronounced "kebo" in a casual way by most people.

In case you haven't met any cattle in your life (pitiful you..), here are some pictures. This is a Lembu



And this is a buffallo



Now if we put those two analogy together, "Menglembu" can be described as "Doing Lembu stuffs", which can also described as "Doing Buffalo stuffs"... And with a little bit of creativity, could be refined into "Mengkebo", and finally into "Kumpul Kebo"..

Some neat play of words, huh? Well... Not exactly...

There's still something else that bothered us though, on the back of the package, there is a French translation for the "Roasted Menglembu Peanut". Yet, on the distribution list, there's no indication that it was sold anywhere in France. Hmm...

Hell, whatever. *dundundun dunnnn dunnn dunnnn dundundun dunnnn dunnnn dunnnn*

Oh, if you're like me and had absolutely no clue on what in the nine hells is a Menglembu, you can check it out here. Though some of you might want to search it by yourself on google, there's a quite nice picture in the search results. =p



[Author's note: Now can anyone tell me why cohabitation is called Kumpul Kebo in Indonesian?? 'Cause even up 'till now I don't understand why]

El Padrino Pulpo

'Nuff said

Stupid, Stupid Humans...

I mean, what's all this Octopus Oracle hype thing? A certain boy who lived with his philosopher's stone was one thing. But this??

Seriously people. It's a bloody octopus!! And so far it only has "predicted" world cup results! I really, really, hope that you lot won't go as far as to make a temple for it in the future.

And I bet it can't even do branch predictions, hah...! ............!!
[Trauma switch ON]
...Gyaaaaargg....!!!!

*ahem*
Germany defeated England because Germany played a lot better than England did. And Spain defeated Germany because they also played very well and used every single opening they could find.

Not because that a so-called force-sensitive cephalopod mollusk said so.

By the way, I'd rather have this octopus instead to predict things for me, thank you.



800% more adorable, yes?

Anyway, I'm hitting the sack now... Better to sleep early and read more shits in the morning. Besides, I was already sleepy since before 9pm...

Nyoro~n Hamtutu-tan

If you're reading this, then first of all I would like to say that I'm sorry sir, but I just have to do this. I still can't find one that is understandable in human language.

Also, this is merely a stress reliever.




Q: Hey, you got time doing this, why not do something productive instead?

A: Yeah? Well, you try reading +200 pages of papers that are complete strangers to your brain, and try to understand them all in a matter of days. I'd like to see how 'normal' can you be after that.

How Many Dust Particles Did You Inhaled? OVER NINE THOUSAAAAND!!

I met my professor again this morning. And as usual he still gave me a no-go code, since I still don't know shit about the basics my final project. ("Learn how to haxx, dood")

Anyway, once I'm done with el padrino I went upstairs to my friends' lab, I got an appointment there with my buddy. A 'yo-I-want-to-leech-some-anime-because-I-am-too-lazy-to-download-lol' kind of appointment.

It turned out that it was supposed to be a clean up day for the lab. Hell, I don't have anything to do while waiting for the download to complete, so I decided to play the good ol' samaritan and help them out.

Hey, this not the first time I got this kind of 'appointment' anyway, so I guess it's just fair.

It was all good and all, the usual move-the-tables, vacuum-the-carpet, clean-the-shelves, throwing-out-used-condoms, manage-the-junks kind of thing.

Then I saw it, right before I was going to move the books from the shelves.

Some picture..


Some REALLY familiar picture....


.....


....WTF ?!!?!?!?!!1

Thank God I've learned the zen of peaceful mind, else I could have broken a few PC.. Oh, It's not that I really mind anymore, it's just... umm.. some normal reflexive reaction. Yeah, that's it

Once the download was done and the files are copied, I went straight back home. The dusts were killing me... +_+

Oh, don't forget to vote for ISML tonight! And watch the world cup while you're at it!

P.S: To those who can't tell what that picture is, it's my ex+her family and his boyfriend

Whose Birthday?

Some totally random post:

I was checking my mail to see whether my professor sent me another e-mail to help me out with my thesis (yea, I know, it's a little bit too hopeful on my part). And the only thing I got was this


[Author's note: Behold my K-ON! desktop accessory & the bad-ass winamp skin, hur hur hur]

Not only that it was just a notification from a certain social network which popularity died away a long, long time ago, it's apparently a reminder for Godzilla's birthday.

So there you go Japanese folks, Godzilla was born somewhere around June. You might want to prepare some sort of celebration, like Gion Matsuris or..



..Nah, maybe not.. D:

[Note: I never opened that site anymore, so I seriously forgot who it actually is. No offense to the owner of the name, this post it purely made out of boredom]

Unlimited Thesis Works

I am the bane of the engineers

Procrastination is my body, and ignorance is my blood

I have slept over a thousand classes

Unknown to curriculums, nor known to GPA

Have withstood pain to study many textbooks

Yet those shits have never taught me anything

So as I pray

Unlimited Thesis Works

Yes, I made it up, a little bit based on the infamous Unlimited Essay Works, purely out of stress.

My thesis, which is only 50% completed now, have to be done by the end of this month... or bust.. So, yeah, my insanity trigger has just been switched to a permanent mode.

Well, putting that aside.. Don't forget to vote at ISML my fellow otakus, help Mikoto out a little.

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

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?? =____="

I Find Your Lack of Faith.... Amusing...

Well, I don't know about you guys, but I find this too much to handle



:))

The Miracle Drug

Lately I've been quite addicted with this drug. I took it more than 3 times a day, you know, for the maximum benefits.

It's a great drug, the effects are even better than beers or the other stupid drugs (e.g Cocaine, Marijuana). It blows your problems away and makes you feel more relaxed.

I know, they don't REALLY go away, but hey.. Pretending to not feel misplaced is so much easier than change, right?

Behold, the greatest drug ever. Fukitol.


Testimonials:

Fukitol is great, it takes care of all my worries and problems. Especially my ED! Thanks Fukitol

At least this on doesn't give me the shakes.... and if you snort it, you feel like you can fly!!!

Have you tried the generic version? I use screwitol. Works the same and saves me

No patent for Fukitol. This has been in the public domain for decades. Norman Mailer described its use in WW2 but misspelled it as Fugital. In ghettos it is cooked into a crystal form and widely used by hookers. They call it FukThemAll. Those caught in possession are sent to spelling prision.

Before using Fukitol I worried about bills, my husband fooling around and job security. Now only after a day of using this miracle drug, I find myself free of all the fuks in this work. Thank you Fukitol...because of you all my worries are gone. I would like to reccommend everyone to just... Fukitol!

Be sure to do what I do: spread 2 table-spoons of jack daniels over your clothes before visiting the doctor. Also 1 table-spoon of olive oil for your hair never hurts. If you just do those two things, they'll be sure to write you a generous prescription of fukitol.
