November Rain


My last blog for this month..it started to rain quite often now. Once again I dedicated this one especially for Midori. Let’s start with the highlight. This week was definitely Desperate Housewives week. Up until now, I already watched 10 episodes of 1st season. It’s a magnificent serial. Creative plot, entertaining, and brilliant. Coz of this serial, my Harry Potter reading has been affected. The serial was as intoxicating as Smallville or 24 or Alias. It’s been another tiring week. Must catch up with the jobs that I have to finish for this month. The last three days have been raining. Rain in November, November Rain.

Last year I still working on my thesis n I remember it was around this month that I heard Maroon 5 – She Will Be Loved, which I instantly love.

Okay, let’s talk about Midori. Today’s her last day in I*******. She applied another job, and she said she’ll be interviewed next Monday. I paid her a visit at I******* for the first and the last time. We met and talked for a while. I wish her luck in everything she does. She’s been a very good listener and chat pal. She’s the only one who willing to go ol on MSN to chat w me. Though we’ve only known each other for about 2 months, I’m gonna miss her…a lot, her greenish comic sans font, her phrase of ‘cek cek’… Well, quoting Matrix Revolution, “Everything that has a beginning, has an end…”, but I’m sure this only ends our MSN session in work hours…lol…

Another news that I got from mom. She called me when I was playing pool and told me that grandma died today. We visited her last Monday night. Her condition was quite critical, she’s in ICU room. I’m not too close to her, but as far as I knpw she’s a good person. I can only pray that God gives her peace and place beside Him in heaven.

Well..don’t know what else to write, like I said this blog is intended to be a tribute for Midori, so I’m gonna keep it simple, since she’s a simple, kind hearted girl. My last message for her…I’m gonna miss our MSN session…piggy wiggy..

Let the rain come down
Let it fall hard
Cold, November rain
Coz the rain
Cannot erase the warmth
That you bring to my heart..

Guns n Roses - November Rain

When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain

We've been through this
Such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain
But lovers always come
And lovers always go
And no one's really sure
Who's lettin' go today
Walking away

If we could take the time
To lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine

So if you want to love me
Then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain

Do you need some time
On your own
Do you need some time
All alone
Everybody needs some time
On their own
Don't you know you need some time
All alone

I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you

Sometimes I need some time
On my own
Sometimes I need some time
All alone
Everybody needs some time
On their own
Don't you know you need some time
All alone

And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain

Don't ya think that you
Need somebody
Don't ya think that you
Need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one

After this..I’ll go back to the dream….that came true..

Just Another Ordinary Weekend, With a Lil Twist

You and Me by Lifehouse is playing while I’m typing this. It’s been a week since I got back from Perth. The euphoria is fading away…Coz it’s you and me and all of the people with nothing to do, nothing to lose…And it’s you and me and all of the people and I don’t know why I can’t keep my eyes off of you…this song always reminds me of Smallville seas 4 ep Commencement, when Clark n Lana were dancing…

10.45 AM

Just finished an internal meeting. The Winamp now is playing Savage Garden’s To The Moon and Back…this song reminds me of Singstar in Perth. Used to sing this one with Livia or Zarija. Okay back to Smallville. My visit to Aussie yielded Smallville seas 5, though I only got until ep 6, but it’s excellent. Don’t know why, but the Smallville euphoria has also been fading. I’m not too obsessed with it, not like the first 3 seasons. Since my pc was still error on Thursday, I watched Smallville seas 5 ep 1 at Jef’s. It was a great episode, though the ending was not quite as I had expected. Kristin still looked gorgeous there, like she’s always was.

Friday still busy with work, IBM didn’t send any email which meant I didn’t pass the IPAT. Surprisingly, I didn’t feel too disappointed. I believe God has another plan for me, a better one. Later at night, I attended the prayer community. It felt so good, I felt…peace.

Saturday was a busy day. Went to ASEAN Hall to play badminton, after my so long absence. Talked to Julius about Accenture opportunity. After that went to VPG to fix my PC, but it was very crowded, so I decided to go to M2Mall. Brought my pc to Velocity Comp n got it fixed. When I was looking for lunch I met Ardi n April..Wow…I was surprised to see them…as a couple??? Wow… so I ate at Bakmi Naga, bought a new fan for my pc n also new DDR PC2700 RAM 256MB at Quantum n a case fan which cost me 240K. Finished the pc thing at around 3 sth PM. Stumbled to Ardi n April again on the elevator. Went to JCC after that to see Franchise exhibition. Got there at 4.30 PM, just as planned..Looked around until 5.30 PM, there were some interesting franchise such as Papa Ron’s Pizza, New Horizons, Alfamart, CFC, etc…After that I went home, tried the pc n it worked just fine, after I replaced one of the RAM module with the new one that I bought at Quantum. At 6.40 PM went to Eddy’s. I accompanied him to Holy Cross because he’s supposed to videotape the prayer community there. Met Ci Sia again there. Another peaceful moment. Singing, praising the Lord. We sang this year new Life in the Spirit anthem, Bersyukurlah Kepada Tuhan and Ku Kan Terbang. I couldn’t stop my tears from falling. At that moment, when I joined the other singing the song, I felt so grateful that I’d been given a chance to go overseas, to Perth. Not just went there but experienced living there. I just really really felt so thankful to God. Went back home with Eddy, slept peacefully that night.

Sunday morning I woke up at 7.40 PM. I was late to help Dianing selling ice cream at church. I quickly went there (after taking a bath of course). She’s with Kiki, Ancie n Tata. They asked me to help Eddy decorating for the Talent Show. Helped Eddy n then attended the 8.30 AM mass. The silly thing was I forgot to bring my English bible. After the mass Eddy drove me home, he borrowed my digicam for the talent show. I ate my breakfast, went to church at 11.30 AM to see the talent show. After that went to Gadink to watch Harry Potter. But when I arrived at Gadink XXI, there were lots…and I mean lotsssss of people who were queuing to get a ticket. So I cancelled the plan n went to Gramed instead. Read CHIP until 3 PM n then I went home. Watched American Pie: Band Camp n The Long Weekend after I arrived. One of the lines that I still remembered from The Long Weekend is “..live each moment as if it’s your last..” . They’re both good movies. Continuing my new habit, I read Harry Potter n The Half Blood Prince before I went to sleep.

Monday was okay. I think I can achieve for this month. Had conversation n lunch with Julius P. Went home and watched Mr. n Mrs. Smith. A very good movie, funny n entertaining. One of the great lines is when they’re talking about the new curtain that Jane Smith bought.

Jane : “What do you think about the curtains? If you don’t like it we can give them back”
John : “I don’t like em”
Jane : “You’ll get used to them”

LOL…..womennnnnnnnnn

And as usual, reading a chapter of Acts n Harry Potter before I went to sleep last nite.

Wow…done..finally, from Fri-Mon. My following posts will be backward story…going back to a dream, a very beautiful dream…

Can’t think of any song that fit to this post…

This blog originally written on Nov 22, but I can’t find the time to upload it till now, not to mention this awful inet connection at my office…

Short Statement


Today's my 11th day in Perth. I must leave this beautiful city soon

It's been mind blowing experience living in this city, though it's only a couple of days.
Friday went to Kings Park...very lovely place n then went to Wanneroo. Stayed up at Liv's place that nite.

Saturday had BBQ with my sis, Liv n Hendra. It's very windy, n then we took a long walk over the cove n the nice side residential area. Spent the nite at Liv's too. Tried the Oz beer...yummy..
Sunday went to Subiaco...a market. Reminded me of Glodok fruit market, only more organised. On the way to Subiaco, using 606 bus, since there was some kind of rail maintenance. Saw this very beautiful girl in the bus. Her skin was white n flawless. Just like a porcelain. She's asian, had this very cute face n she later on wore a hat, which made her looked more attractive. It's too bad that I had to get off at Subiaco. Lots of pretty girls here in Perth....
I'm going to Liv's place after this....Frienster has a new feature, shout out...so on this occasion I want to shout it out to the world..."I'm gonna miss you, Perth!!"

Silent Sigh


*sighing.....again....another post while I'm in Perth....a little flashback from the beginning of November. Watched Shark Tale in the night (31 Oct) n then went to sleep at around 11 PM. The next day I went to Liv's place in the morning for a while and I borrowed her DVDs...5 romantic comedy DVDs, all of them has Hugh Grant in it. I went back to my sis' place, she's working at the library so I watched the DVds..I watched About a Boy in which Silent Sigh is one of the soundtrack. It's a lovely song by Damon "Badly Drawn Boy" Gough. After that at 6 PM Livia called me and asked me to go to the cinema to watch a movie. I had to walk to the cinema cause the CAT had stopped operating (It's past 6.20 PM). Arrived there at 6.40 PM. We decided to watch In Her Shoes and to my surprise, one of the main role, Toni Colette was the one who played Marcus' mom in About a Boy, which I had just watched in the afternoon. What a coincidence....The movie was good, maybe a little boring for people who doesn't like a long dialog without any actions. And it was a long one too. The movie finished at 8.50 PM and then we went to Billy Lee's Restaurant to have dinner. The food was delicious. Took some pictures in front of the china town and then we went back home

Yesterday I went to Liv's place almost all day long. I went there in the morning. The internet was very very fast (they're using ADSL). Stayed there until 1 sth PM, then we grabbed lunch at Taka, a japanese restaurant. The beef teriyaki was very delicious. The tofu was quite different with the one in Indonesia...and the best part was there's chilli sauce and we could take it as much as we wanted...yeahhh......and it's also- quite cheap (Australian standard). After that we went around the city center, went to Angus n Robertson bookstore. I was particularly interested in a 2006 diary, but I think i better check the price in other shop..went back to their place w Hendra while Livia went to work. At 7 sth PM we (Me and Hendra) went to pick Livia up at her workplace, NYC Pizza. I was so full I had to say no to their invitation for dinner. We went back to their place, and then I went back home to my sis' place. I went straight to bed after having a shower

Today I woke up at 6.20 AM to watch European Champions League between Juventus VS Bayern Munich at Delle Alpi, Turin. I was surprised to know that Juventus was lost 1-3 to AC Milan on last week fixture. After a magnificent always winning start, Juve's run has come to an end. But the match was interesting. In the first half both sides waste each a golden opportunity. But in the second half the match was getting better. Capello made several subtitutions and replaced Del Piero who was not at his performance this morning (Aust time) with the Czech skipper, Pavel Nedved. Nedved really gave good impact on Juve's attacks. Trezeguet finally gave Juve a lead with his goal at 66th minute. Nedved had a role in this goal. But Deissler made it all square with his tremendous free kick at 66th minute. Juve side was stunned by this and they increased their attack. Later on he brought Camoranesi into the game, but he only played for about 15 minutes and soon replaced by Adrian Mutu. And in the 85th minute, Trezegoal scored his 2nd goal and this goal sealed Juve's victory over Munich. Unfortunately in the 89th minute Ibrahimovic was sent off after receiving two yellow cards. He played so well though he didn't score. After that me n my sis went to her campus. She showed me around and I took some pictures at Curtin. She introduced me to Carolyn, her liaison officer. Carolyn was very kind n warm. She told us about Perth Expo and about Australia encouraging people to migrate to Australia due to shortage of skilled persons in some areas. She's very nice. Took a picture with her and then we went to the library. My sister's working now and I'm sitting here in the library, thinking about this skilled migarion...It would be great to live in Australia. I would love to live here, but I have to consider this deeply n thoroughly remembering my mom... *sigh.... I'm overwhelmed by all of these.....

btw..today's Idul Fitri day. I almost forgot. I wonder what mom's doing right now? It's such a different atmosphere here, no wonder Yuni didn't notice at all

Well, my head start throbbing now so I'll leave you with Badly Drawn Boy's song, Silent Sigh.....an excellent song........*sigh

Badly Drawn Boy Silent Sigh

Come see what we all talk about
People moving to the moon
Stop baby don't go stop here
Never stop living here

Till it eats the heart from your soul
Keeps down the sound of your
Silent sigh
Silent sigh, silent sigh silent sigh
Keeps down all move me down
Could we love eachother

Come see what we all talk about
People moving to the moon
Stop baby don't go stop here
Never stop living here

Till it eats the heart from your soul
Keeps down the sound of your
Silent sigh
Silent sigh, silent sigh silent sigh
Keeps down all move me down
But don't love eachother

No don't love eachother
Never gonna be the same


8GB n growing..... lol..... thanks to hamlet n bluefa1ry...love you guys..*muachh
