It’s been quite some times since my last post. There have been so many things that have happened since then. I better divide them into three phases. Here we go :
Phase One : WebGaul and Gillian Chung
From the middle - end of April I was very active at WG. In less than two weeks time I was able to post about 800 something posts. I was able to do that because there were wasn’t too many things that I have to do at work. In fact I can say that I didn’t have anything to do at that period. There were so many postponed decisions so I could only wait.
That led me to browse the internet, WG especially. At that period I also able to make new friend. I met him at WG, and after that we exchanged YM id and we chatted. We were both huge Smallville fans. His name was Greg. Chat with Hamlet, Grace, Agus, Greg and my other friends was my main activity at the office that time..(my friend used to say that I get paid for doing nothing….LOL in Indonesianàmakan gaji buta).
I browse almost all the forums at WG, due to my abundant spare time and free internet facility. From SDS, Kenalan Warga WG, Gosip Artis, Cerita Lucu, Pojok Sepakbola, Handphone, Social Science (Thanks to Hamlet who gave me the link about this and also about the amazing facts links. I was astonished to read all the facts that you have gathered. They were unbelievable. I was really interested in the magic number of 23 and also about the connection between
As usual, my weekend activities were relaxing at home, watching DVDs and playing WE at my good friend’s house. There were some movies that I remembered at this period. First was The Punisher. Standard plot, but still interesting to be watched. Thomas Jane was quite good as The Punisher, but I was expecting The Punisher to be meaner. And the ladies were Rebecca Romijn Stamos and Laura Harring. Coincidentally, Laura Harring played the character Livia Saint, and I have a good friend whose name is Livia.. I couldn’t stop grinning everytime I saw Livia Saint entering the screen.
My vigorous browsing at WG also led me to this new infatuation for Gillian Chung. I already knew her when I was at university, but maybe I was seeing her in a different angle. There were lots other DVDs that I bought, one of them was Twins Effect2. I bought it unintentionally, cos I have seen Twins Effect 1 and it was awful (I think). The story was so lame. The movie only sells the Twins. Okay for you who don’t know about the Twins, I’m gonna introduce them a bit. The are a group music from HK. They’re very popular, especially at HK. They consist of 2 members, (The Cute) Charlene Choi and (The Gorgeous) Gillian Chung. At 2002 they started to play in movies too. If you want to know more about them, just search at Google. I’m sure you’ll get tons of result. Okay, back to Twins Effect 2. Twins Effect 2 offered more interesting plot, and also Jackie Chan’s son, Jaycee Chan as the leading actor. And the important thing (to me) was that Gillian was very beautiful there. She’s so damn cool. My infatuation grew exponentially. The net day at work, I browsed the internet to find all the movies in which Gillian appeared. I got the list and printed it and after work I went to Ambassador Mall to buy them. But I only got few of them. To make long story short, I watched them all. And the best was House of Fury. Gillian played w Stephen Fung and Anthony Wong. Very good comedy. The fighting scenes were good coz they were arranged by Yuen Woo Ping.
My infatuation for Gillian ended this phase one. Btw, I finally reached 1000 posts, actually it was 1100 sth posts…
Phase Two : Da Vinci Code
Following this newly found infatuation, there was an event that helped in reducing it. It was the internet connection. The next week my internet connection at office suddenly went awry. I couldn’t get online, I couldn’t browse, I couldn’t chat. Luckily I got another thing to help me kill the boredom. It was Da Vinci Code. I finished in 4 days time, including 2 days at office. It was very good novel. No wonder it has brought so many controversy. You must read it yourself to know what I’m saying. But beware, it might can make you questioning the basic principal of faith itself. You can feel lost after reading this. But I always put this on my mind, it was just a novel. Nothing more. A novel with excellent story and illustration. After reading it, I really wanted to go to Louvre,
To end this phase, I got tons of pictures of Gillian (Yeah, the internet was up again the following week). I got them from this amazing site. Let me share some of them with you. Enjoy !
Phase Three : Star Wars 3, RTK and New Pentecost
Entering May, fresh wind blew. Work was getting better. There were some meetings with clients and (finally) got quite lot of things to be done. So I wasn’t too active at WG. But I still managed to downloaded Gillian pics (500 sth ..LOL). I had this little reunion (can I say reunion if it’s only 3 persons?) w my friends. We went to karaoke place, a quite new one.. InulVizta at Gadink (Inul is a very famous dangdut singer in
After that I didn’t know how it start, but I was interested in Romance of Three Kingdoms (RTK). I played it since junior high school. And I wanna play it again. So I browsed the internet, and for PC version, it has reached #10. I bought the CD (I bought RTK 9). But to my dismay, it was Chinese version, the English version was only released for PS2. Damn…I tried to look for the patches (Translation to english), got them, but they were only work a little. Lots of dialogue and menus that were still in Chinese. So I bought the game but I can’t play it, except I play it with someone who understands Chinese.
The final event of this phase was yesterday’s KRK. The Power of Pentecost. I also attended the seminar. The speaker was Father Raniero Cantalamessa OFMCap. (Switch to Indonesian) Raniero Cantalamessa adalah seorang imam Katolik berordo Fransiskan Capuchin. Lahir di Ascoli Piceno, Italia, 22 Juli 1934. Ditahbiskan tahun 1954. Bergelar Doktor Teologi dan Doktor sastra Yunani-Romawi Kuno. Di Universitas Katolik Milan, beliau merupakan Guru Besar Luar Biasa untuk Sejarah Gereja Purba dan Direktur Departemen Ilmu Pengetahuan Keagamaan. Tahun 1979 beliau mengundurkan diri dari dunia akademis dan menjadi pengkhotbah injil secara penuh. Tahun 1980 Paus Yohanes Paulus II menunjuknya menjadi Pengkhotbah Rumah Tangga Kepausan. Dalam kapasitasnya ini, beliau membawakan khotbah mingguan pada masa Adven dan Pra Paskah yang dihadiri oleh Bapa Suci, para Kardinal, Uskup, Wali Gereja dan pemimpin tertinggi ordo-ordo Katolik.
Meskipun beliau sudah berumur 71, tapi beliau tampak seperti orang yang baru berumur 50an tahun. Beliau masih energik. Sebenarnya badanku tidak terlalu sehat kemarin (batuk, pilek, sedikit demam, plus serak). Tapi aku memaksakan diri untuk ikut karena aku bertugas sebagai tatib. Untungnya orang yang datang lebih sedikit daripada yang sudah diperkirakan.
Better Man by Robbie Williams

Send someone to love me
I need to rest in arms
Keep me safe from harm
In pouring rain
Give me endless summer
Lord I fear the cold
Feel I'm getting old
Before my time
*chorus
As my soul heals the shame
I will grow through this pain
Lord I'm doing all I can
To be a better man
Go easy on my conscience
'Cause it's not my fault
I know I've been told
To take the blame
Rest assured my angels
Will catch my tears
Walk me out of here
I'm in pain
*chorus
Once you've found that lover
You're homeward bound
Love is all around
Love is all around
I know some have fallen
On stony ground
But Love is all around
^, *chorus
