Stop Playing Homework and Do Your Video Games

I love that phrase! Lol school/college life would have been so nice if I could do that.

A few weeks back, Mochi sent me a link to watch a video which I absolutely love to death!



Anyone remember Pong?

You know, the classic old school video game where you play it like how you play table tennis, avoiding the ball to enter your space?

No idea?

The player controls an in-game paddle by moving it vertically across the left side of the screen, and can compete against either a computer controlled opponent or another player controlling a second paddle on the opposing side. Players use the paddles to hit a ball back and forth.

Neh, that's how the game play is. Taken from here.

The video above is about a quartet playing chamber music, with some song selections from some famous games! Eh you watch it already or not ar? Go watch it! :p

In short, I LOVE IT TO DEATH!!!! Like seriously, it is one of the best arrangements I've ever heard so far! Vienna Philharmonic didn't even come close. Lol no la I was totally kidding. Vienna Philharmonic is GREAT ok?

It has those famous songs from Super Mario Bros, Tetris, Pong, etc. I especially love the Pong one. So farney la! LOL. I love the Tetris one too. But my biggest love would be gone to the, obviously, SUPER MARIO BROS!!! Wooooo~ I've been loving this game since the first time I played it!!!

So go listen go listen go listen!! :D :D

From journals to books

OMG! It's the last day of August already? o.O

Time sure flies fast! Gonna meet Mochi again in 21 days! :D

Anyway, I bought a very very nice book (at least for me la) yesterday!!

It's "Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Do-It-Yourself Book"!!!!!



If you have no idea on who is Wimpy Kid, check this out!


So basically the Wimpy Kid series is a storybook about a boy whose mum told him to write a daily journal. So the entire book is basically his journal. I love this kind of book!! Like Anne Frank - The Diary of a Young Girl



I've been reading this twice (or more, I forgot) and not even have the slightest feeling of bored. Ok, basically I like books that's written based on true-story, or even better, the real true-story itself! Like Anne Frank's!

The Wimpy Kid series is just like that, just that....it's fiction! Lol


I like how Jeff Kinney drew the illustration in the book! It's so simple yet it's cute and done with the right proportion and everything! What's more, Mochi said that he's actually a game designer! Cool!


So far Wimpy Kid series has 3 books out. More is coming out soon!




They actually have this special-cover-art-edition of the Do-It Yourself Book!!! Boo!! I want this!! It's so cute!! T3T


Ah nvm la, mine is also cute :D

Something funny: Mochi actually wanted to get me the Wimpy Kid book when he was away in Penang for AMD training. He saw it at Borders there but thinking of buying it for me when he went back to KL. But it wasn't at the Top 10 shelf anymore once he's back and he forgotten what the book title was...LOL

And he loves the simple illustration too! We have the same taste for drawings heheh :D

Can't wait to fill in my Wimpy Kid journal!! (ok, I actually have filled in 3 pages :p) Gonna show you some sneak peek of the inside later on :)

I swear I don't wanna adopt a child!

Last night I asked Jessika out for dinner and on the way, she asked whether I wanted to watch a movie. I said sure, why not? And we settled for Orphan.

After a scrumptious dinner of a green tea waffle with strawberry (mine) and chocolate (hers) ice cream, we sat in the cinema and the movie started to roll...

So how's the movie? (Warning: spoilers ahead! Continue reading if you aren't the curious type)

p.s: It's been so long since I wrote a complete movie review like this. Sorry if it's too long!

Damn! It was one of the movie I kinda regret of watching!!

No, seriously! Esther, the main character, is just plain psycho and freaky!!!


You see, how could a sweet girl like this



turn into someone...


...like that?!


Again. From this...


to this

Ok, it's not really obvious there, but the way she smiles is just...scary! You know, like those evil-ish smile




The movie started with a couple of husband and wife (John and Kate) who had just lost their baby (Jessica) when she was still in the womb.

Kinda frustrated with losing the baby, Kate decided to adopt a child from St. Mariana Home for Girls...

The place is nice! It's all white, and sumore with the snow surrounding it, it so looks like those Christmas cards!

After wandering around, their choice went to Esther

A very very pretty and sweet girl who loves painting



Tell me, how could anyone not falling in love with a gorgeous smile like this?


I literally went "Awwwwww" the first time I saw her face. Really soo pwetty!

Sister Abigail, the head of the orphanage, said Esther is an extraordinary girl who is so mature for her age (9 y.o). So after getting her papers done, 3 weeks after that, John and Kate brought the sweet lil girl home. Little did they know disasters were waiting for them...

Esther seemed to get along well with John and Kate's daugher, Maxine (Max, in short - sounds like a boy...) and not really well with Daniel (or Danny - Max's older brother)

It started with her pushing her classmate down the high slide in the park because she was making fun of her even on the first day she came to the class


Brenda: Oh look! Little Bo Beep text me. She wants her outfit back.

That was what the poor girl said on the first day she came into the class cos she was wearing a cute dress that's more appropriate for a party rather than for school.


After that, a few incidents occur:

Esther killed Sister Abigail when she visited John and Kate to told them she had made a mistake and that something's wrong with Esther...

She smashed and stabbed her with a hammer and hid it in Danny's tree house. Max was with her when it happened and Esther told her to shut her mouth up and not tell on her. Max, who is mute and communicates with sign language, couldn't do anything as she was younger than her and was very very afraid of her.

A short conversation between Danny and Esther to show how psychotic Esther was:

[Esther and Max walk up after Daniel has shot a pigeon with his paintball gun]
Esther: Did you kill it?
Daniel Coleman: [crying] It was just a paintball, I didn't think it'd hurt him...
[She picks up a big rock and holds it out to him]
Esther: Put it out of its misery.
[off his look]
Esther: It's in pain. And it's your responsibility.
Daniel Coleman: It was just an accident.
Esther: If you walk away now, it'll starve to death. Is that what you want?
[pause]
Daniel Coleman: I'm not doin' it...
[after a moment, she smashes the pigeon with the rock]
Esther: [to Max] It's all right. It's in Heaven now.
Daniel Coleman: What's wrong with you?


Kate then was told that the Russian orphanage Esther came from (before she came to America) has no record of her ever being there. However, despite Esther's ill-omened behaviour, John didn't believe it at all! Geez..what a stupido!

At one point, Esther breaks her own arm in John's vise and convinces John that Kate broke it. On Esther's first day back at school, she slips Kate's SUV into neutral that makes it slide backwards down the road and nearly killing Max. Badly shaken, Kate buys two bottles of wine, but at the last minute pours one of them down the drain and leaves the other full.

Kate learns that Esther was housed at a mental institution in Estonia called the Saarne Institute, but when she expresses misgivings to John, he and her counselor think that Kate is relapsing into her drinking habit. After John produces the other bottle Kate bought the night before, he threatens to leave her unless she gets help.

Afterwards...
(Taken from wikipedia):

Daniel learns of the hammer from Max and decides to get it and go to the police. However, Esther sets the treehouse on fire, intending to get rid of the evidence and kill Daniel. Daniel escapes by falling out of the tree, severely injuring his neck. Esther tries to finish him off by smashing a brick over his head, but Max shoves her out of the way just in time. Esther again tries to kill him at the hospital by smothering him with a pillow. As doctors rush to save Daniel, Kate angrily knocks Esther down, and is sedated by doctors.

That night, Esther tries to seduce a drunk John (WTH!). John realizes Kate was telling the truth all along and threatens to call the orphanage, but Esther stabs him to death. Max witnesses this and hides in her laundry hamper.

As Kate is coming out of sedation, she gets a call from the Saarne Institute's director, Dr. Värava , who reveals that Esther isn't a 9-year-old girl at all, but a 33-year-old woman named Leena Klammer (WTF!). She has hypopituitarism, a disorder that stunted her physical growth, and has spent most of her life posing as a little girl. The doctor tells Kate that Leena is dangerously psychotic, and warns her to protect her family. Kate rushes home, where Leena shoots her in the arm before searching for Max.

Their chase takes them outside to a frozen pond, where Kate and Leena struggle before falling through a hole in the ice. Kate crawls out of the hole, followed by Leena, who begs for her life, addressing Kate as "Mommy". Kate angrily responds that she is not her mother, and kicks Leena in the face, breaking her neck and sending her back into the pond to drown.

Phew! What a movie la!

I like Isabelle Fuhrman! She's so pretty! Altho she acts as the psychotic Esther in the movie, but still, she's cute! :D

*Ignore her bunny teeth*

See the comparison? Wahh so pretty and the one at the background so freaky! Lol

Ok, honestly, the plot isn't that nice (I don't know why it sounds interesting in writing), especially the ending! It's sooo hanging! It ended just by Kate breaking Esther's neck and sending her back into the cold cold pond to drown, then she walks away with Max. That's it!! They didn't tell how their life was after that or anything! More, they didn't mention that she was a prostitute or something.

Hmmm...but it has succesfully made me and Jess scared, oh well, at least the images of Esther was still running in our head when we walked back to the car to go home AND *omg please don't laught at me!!* made me slept in my parents' room.....




Yea yea yea I know u guys must have been laughing at my childish-ness at this point, right? >.<

My dad had a good laugh at me last night when I told him I wanted to sleep in his room (he slept in my bedroom), then Mum ( who was half asleep already by then) said "Your fault la. Who asked you to watch that movie?"

ROFLMAO la. Hahahaha I know it sounded so childish but I guess it's kinda funny at some point :p


Last note: I don't wanna adopt a child after watching this movie! Lol

"What I Have Been Up To Lately" post

A standard title for a blog post, huh? Lol :p

Anyway, these are the 10 things of what I've been up to lately:

1. Confirmed: Raya holiday in KL with parents and family's best friend! Maybe we'll go to an island as well there

2. I just found out about BB cream (so sua koo, I know >.<) and I wanna give it a try. Maybe gonna buy one from Skin Food when I go to KL next month

3. Shit, I am out of words. Does this means my life is boring recently? -____-

4. Seriously, I'm out of words! Wth!

5. Oh yea! Another Nike Warehouse Sale next month (but this time in Surabaya). Gonna go there with 3 colleagues to take care of it

6. I just realized September is coming very soon, and then November (I skip October la, I love November), and then I'll add another year in my life *damn! I'm gonna be a quarter a century within 2 years!* , and then December, then Hello 2010!

7. Oh shit! Will have to start on the next issue of Garuda In-flight Shopping Magazine! When is the dateline, you ask? December.....December! Christmas! Holiday! FML!

8. I wish it *pointing upwards* won't take my holiday away *big puppy eyes*

9. Ermm....nothing else?! Ohh wait wait! I just found a cool site! The Candy Wrapper Museum!

10. Oh yea! Echa just gave me "Chasing Harry Winston" this morning. Looks like a great book. Ok, actually she didn't really give it to me. She just said that she has bought this book, but accidentally bought another one because the covers were different. So she gives this one out (still in plastic wrapper!) to anyone who are interested in reading it. She passed it to me cos I was the only one in the office when she arrived, so I.... Ok it's getting long and pointless. To cut it short, the book is with me now and I'm gonna read it! LOL

Kthxbye!

I didn't know CNN loved my blog. LOL so perasan :p

When I checked on my stat counter just now, I was quite shocked with the number of visitors I got yesterday n this morning. It may not be that much for some of bloggers (in fact, in can be considered as berrryyy little wan), but it is quite a lot for me since I don't intend to make this blog public. Anyway, what I'm gonna say will probably make some people go "Wth, like that only? and you're so proud about it? It's no big deal at all la!"

So, what happened was...I wrote this yesterday and when I clicked on the "Recent came from" category just now, I found that 98% of yesterday's and today's visitors came from here



I was like..How the hell could they went into my blog from that article in CNN?! o.O

Curiously, I opened the CNN article again, and I found this at the bottom of the article:

Woohooooo~ No wonder la :D

The annoying Facebookers

Did you guys realize how lots of your friends in Facebook wrote their status? Umm you know, like "Omg I just woke up! I'm gonna be late for school!"; "Eating breakfast"; "I'm sleeping now. Gud nite world"; "Why do you leave me? or anything like that or beyond that or whatever. LOL I'm very sure all of you have at least 10 friends like that.

That's why I find it funny when I came across this article in CNN.com just now. It's kinda true and funny so I gotta share it with you guys.



The 12 most annoying types of Facebookers August 20, 2009 -- Updated 1706 GMT (0106 HKT)

(CNN) -- Facebook, for better or worse, is like being at a big party with all your friends, family, acquaintances and co-workers.

Facebook can be a great tool, and an occasional annoyance. What kind of Facebooker are you?

There are lots of fun, interesting people you're happy to talk to when they stroll up. Then there are the other people, the ones who make you cringe when you see them coming. This article is about those people.

Sure, Facebook can be a great tool for keeping up with folks who are important to you. Take the status update, the 160-character message that users post in response to the question, "What's on your mind?" An artful, witty or newsy status update is a pleasure -- a real-time, tiny window into a friend's life.

But far more posts read like navel-gazing diary entries, or worse, spam. A recent study categorized 40 percent of Twitter tweets as "pointless babble," and it wouldn't be surprising if updates on Facebook, still a fast-growing social network, break down in a similar way. Take a CNN quiz: What kind of Facebooker are you? »

Combine dull status updates with shameless self-promoters, "friend-padders" and that friend of a friend who sends you quizzes every day, and Facebook becomes a daily reminder of why some people can get on your nerves.

Here are 12 of the most annoying types of Facebook users:

The Let-Me-Tell-You-Every-Detail-of-My-Day Bore. "I'm waking up." "I had Wheaties for breakfast." "I'm bored at work." "I'm stuck in traffic." You're kidding! How fascinating! No moment is too mundane for some people to broadcast unsolicited to the world. Just because you have 432 Facebook friends doesn't mean we all want to know when you're waiting for the bus.

The Self-Promoter. OK, so we've probably all posted at least once about some achievement. And sure, maybe your friends really do want to read the fascinating article you wrote about beet farming. But when almost EVERY update is a link to your blog, your poetry reading, your 10k results or your art show, you sound like a bragger or a self-centered careerist.

The Friend-Padder. The average Facebook user has 120 friends on the site. Schmoozers and social butterflies -- you know, the ones who make lifelong pals on the subway -- might reasonably have 300 or 400. But 1,000 "friends?" Unless you're George Clooney or just won the lottery, no one has that many. That's just showing off.

The Town Crier. "Michael Jackson is dead!!!" You heard it from me first! Me, and the 213,000 other people who all saw it on TMZ. These Matt Drudge wannabes are the reason many of us learn of breaking news not from TV or news sites but from online social networks. In their rush to trumpet the news, these people also spread rumors, half-truths and innuendo. No, Jeff Goldblum did not plunge to his death from a New Zealand cliff.

The TMIer. "Brad is heading to Walgreens to buy something for these pesky hemorrhoids." Boundaries of privacy and decorum don't seem to exist for these too-much-information updaters, who unabashedly offer up details about their sex lives, marital troubles and bodily functions. Thanks for sharing.

The Bad Grammarian. "So sad about Fara Fauset but Im so gladd its friday yippe". Yes, I know the punctuation rules are different in the digital world. And, no, no one likes a spelling-Nazi schoolmarm. But you sound like a moron.

The Sympathy-Baiter. "Barbara is feeling sad today." "Man, am I glad that's over." "Jim could really use some good news about now." Like anglers hunting for fish, these sad sacks cast out their hooks -- baited with vague tales of woe -- in the hopes of landing concerned responses. Genuine bad news is one thing, but these manipulative posts are just pleas for attention.

The Lurker. The Peeping Toms of Facebook, these voyeurs are too cautious, or maybe too lazy, to update their status or write on your wall. But once in a while, you'll be talking to them and they'll mention something you posted, so you know they're on your page, hiding in the shadows. It's just a little creepy.

The Crank. These curmudgeons, like the trolls who spew hate in blog comments, never met something they couldn't complain about. "Carl isn't really that impressed with idiots who don't realize how idiotic they are." [Actual status update.] Keep spreading the love.

The Paparazzo. Ever visit your Facebook page and discover that someone's posted a photo of you from last weekend's party -- a photo you didn't authorize and haven't even seen? You'd really rather not have to explain to your mom why you were leering like a drunken hyena and French-kissing a bottle of Jagermeister.

The Maddening Obscurist. "If not now then when?" "You'll see..." "Grist for the mill." "John is, small world." "Dave thought he was immune, but no. No, he is not." [Actual status updates, all.] Sorry, but you're not being mysterious -- just nonsensical.

The Chronic Inviter. "Support my cause. Sign my petition. Play Mafia Wars with me. Which 'Star Trek' character are you? Here are the 'Top 5 cars I have personally owned.' Here are '25 Things About Me.' Here's a drink. What drink are you? We're related! I took the 'What President Are You?' quiz and found out I'm Millard Fillmore! What president are you?"

You probably mean well, but stop. Just stop. I don't care what president I am -- can't we simply be friends? Now excuse me while I go post the link to this story on my Facebook page.

ROFL!! So what do you think?

Ok la, I won't deny that I wrote those kind of status sometimes as well lol


Anyway, I took the "What kind of Facebooker are you?" quiz for fun, and this is my result:


LOL I don't think so though!

Just another PMS day...

Period cramp, sleepy, menstrual migraine...Arrghhhh so sien! Feels like going home and sleeeeepppppppp all day long!


I need a 1-month-holiday...


Wait..make it 2 months....


....or 3 months would be great!! *you wish la!*

MERDEKA!!!

HAPPY 64th BIRTHDAY, MY COUNTRY!

17.08.1945
17.08.2009

p.s: I just came back from Pangalengan, South Bandung. No updates for now.

Super creamy and sweet and filling cupcakes

When I saw this banner in front of Cold Stone last month...

I knew I had to try it since I love cupcakes!



Looks yummy right right right?!

But too bad la they only have 3 flavors so far...

Cake Batter Deluxe

Double Chocolate Devotion

Sweet Cream

At IDR 20K per piece, it's considered quite expensive for a cupcake. But oh well, since it's Cold Stone, so it's understandable. Lol

So I wanted to buy 3 lor (if want it to take away, need to buy minimum 3 pieces), one for each flavor...but then got a promotion: Buy 5 get 1 free. So being a kiasu I am, I bought 5 lor (Lol no la, just cos I thought I would love it)


Because the inside is ice cream, so apparently we need some dry ice to be put in the box. And while cupcakes are small, they don't have a small box, instead it has to be a CAKE BOX....


And I mean a BIG CAKE BOX


See, see?

Lol looks like I'm bringing a birthday cake or something rather than cupcakes!


Excited, I took one out...


...Scoop the butter cream....Dig in...

The filling is 90% ice cream, with just a layer of cake on the bottom


And the cup itself is made from chocolate!!

Overall, it's not up to my standard. Kinda disappointed with it tho. Lol. Cos the butter cream is a lot, plus the chocolate cup...I dunno, it just not my cup of tea...way too filling!

Rate:
Appearance : 7/10
Flavor : 5/10
Price : 4/10 ---> I'd rather buy the ice cream than the cupcakes.

Budi, keep on playing soccer...

Helloooo.....

I still can't do any work...My office PC is still being hospitalized. The power supply will be bought today but it's no use since the designer cum IT person who will install it is on MC. So yea, these 2 days I've been a very "productive" employee :p

Anyway, still remember the J.W. Mariott + Ritz Carlton Jakarta bombing last month which resulted in MU canceled the match in Jkt?

A few months earlier, 3 (yeap, the mobile provider), who had a partnership with MU (buy a 3 starter pack and you'll get an official MU merchandise) put on a billboard with Rooney (I think it's him la...LOL :p) holding a 3 starter pack and wearing an MU phone strap on his neck (damn I couldn't get the picture...I regret didn't take it while it was still on T3T)

This is one of it la..Alex Ferguson...

And this is the commercial. Damn funny if you understand Indonesian. Lol

After the *DUARRRR!!!*, there's a version of the commercial above (in jpg) on the internet:


ROFL!

And the billboard became like this:

ROFL!! This one is in Kelapa Gading. So funny la. But you need to watch the commercial then can only understand this.

My PC in office is dead... -_______-

Yesterday, at around 5pm, suddenly my monitor went blank for a few seconds, then it turned back on. It happened again a few minutes afterward, then it became so intense that my monitor was starting to 'dance' (off-on-off-on in a split of seconds) and there was this "click clack click clack" sound. So I turned it off, waited for a few mins before turning it back on, and still, "click clack click clack" and then tadaaaaaa~ no visual at all wth!

So how? I couldn't shut the PC down as well. So I pressed the reset button on the CPU, stupidly hoping the monitor would come back to life. It was no use.

After that, I had to pull out the power cable. Otherwise, how the hell am I gonna turn my PC off right? Then I tried to turn it on again, and......it couldn't!! WTH!

So now my CPU also cannot on, monitor also no visual. How lehhhh? Now I'm using Indri's laptop since she's out for a meeting~

It could be either the power supply, power cable, or whatever it is...

Am a lie

Just read Cheesie's post on why she changed her name and I tried the anagram thingy she mentioned there, and look what is the result:


Can somebody tell me what in the world is lepsaria????

I even tried to look for the meaning in Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, but the word doesn't even exist



Ok la, then I tried with just my first name:


Wtf! So all of this time I am a true liar? o.O


And they said that "All the life's wisdom can be found in anagrams. Anagrams never lie."


FML!

Again, Indonesia has lost 2 of its' greatest artists...

This week has been a gloomy week for the Art & Entertainment Industry of Indonesia.

August 4th, 2009.
A street musician (seniman jalanan-red) who is currently at his success peak has left us all. Yes, he is Mbah Surip. Born as Ucup Ariyanto, he was quite a phenomenon in Indonesia for the last couple of months, I could say. With his hit song "Tak Gendong", he has broken the record for a street musician who can hit an enormous amount of IDR 4.9 billion on Ring Back Tone (RBT). For those who wonder what is RBT, it's the same with Caller Ringtones. You know, a part of a song you will hear when you call someone on their cell (of course the person needs to purchase the RBT first la).

The lyric of "Tak Gendong" is actually very very simple:

Tak gendong kemana-mana
Tak gendong kemana-mana
Enak donk, mantep donk
Daripada kamu naik pesawat kedinginan
Mending tak gendong to
Enak to, mantep to
Ayo...Kemana

Tak gendong kemana-mana
Tak gendong kemana-mana
Enak tau

Where are you going?
Ok, I am Ok
Where are you going?
Ok, my darling

Ha...Ha...

Tak gendong kemana-mana
Tak gendong kemana-mana
Enak donk, mantep donk
Daripada kamu naik taxi kesasar
Mending tak gendong to
Enak to, mantep to
Ayo...Mau kemana

Where are you going?
Ok, I am Ok
Where are you going?
Ok, my darling

Ha...Ha...

Tak gendong kemana-mana
Enak tau
Ha...Ha...
Ha...Ha...
Ha...Ha...

Capek...

*I won't translate it to English..lazy*

Notice the "Ha...Ha..." parts there? It's actually the way he laugh. Ok, I can't show you how, but it definitely is....ermm..I dunno...weird? funny? Lol I guess it's a combination of both :p

So, according to the media, he actually worked in oil drilling in the US, Canada, Jordania, Japan, Philippines, and Singapore. Not sure whether it's true tho.

I'd say his death cause was his unhealthy lifestyle. Just imagine this. A 52 year old man (altho he had succesfully bluffed ALL the media by saying he was 60), drinks around 10-20 cups (!!!) of black coffee EVERY EFFING DAY, smokes AT LEAST 3 packs of ciggarette, and sleeps for around 3 hours everyday (cos his schedule was so packed with shows here and there) ! o.O

What do all those things lead to? A fatal heart disease...


6th August 2009.

Two days after the passing of Mbah Surip, I was brought into shock again this morning when my mum read the newspaper and went "HUH! W.S. Rendra passed away??!"

Picture taken from http://koran.kompas.com

W.S. Rendra... the Burung Merak (Peacock) of Indonesia has passed away last night...

One of the most famous and influential artist in Indonesia. Ok, maybe not an artist, but more of a poet and drama master.

Famous for fighting against injusticeness, W.S. Rendra often held events to "slap" the young generations and "wake them up" to realize and protect their own culture from degradation.

What was the cause of his death?

Coronary heart disease...

Ok la, this one is not like Mbah Surip's case. Rendra had been in and out of several hospitals for the last few years before he finally breathe out his last final breath...

Anyway, this is one of his famous poetry:

Bersatulah Pelacur-pelacur Kota Jakarta

Pelacur-pelacur Kota Jakarta
Dari kelas tinggi dan kelas rendah
Telah diganyang
Telah haru-biru
Mereka kecut
Keder
Terhina dan tersipu-sipu

Sesalkan mana yang mesti kausesalkan
Tapi jangan kau lewat putus asa
Dan kaurelakan dirimu dibikin korban

Wahai pelacur-pelacur kota Jakarta
Sekarang bangkitlah
Sanggul kembali rambutmu
Karena setelah menyesal
Datanglah kini giliranmu
Bukan untuk membela diri melulu
Tapi untuk lancarkan serangan
Karena
Sesalkan mana yang mesti kau sesalkan
Tapi jangan kaurela dibikin korban

Sarinah
Katakan kepada mereka
Bagaimana kau dipanggil ke kantor menteri
Bagaimana ia bicara panjang lebar kepadamu
Tentang perjuangan nusa bangsa
Dan tiba-tiba tanpa ujung pangkal
Ia sebut kau inspirasi revolusi
Sambil ia buka kutangmu

Dan kau Dasima
Khabarkan pada rakyat
Bagaimana para pemimpin revolusi
Secara bergiliran memelukmu
Bicara tentang kemakmuran rakyat dan api revolusi
Sambil celananya basah
Dan tubuhnya lemas
Terkapai disampingmu
Ototnya keburu tak berdaya

Politisi dan pegawai tinggi
Adalah caluk yang rapi
Kongres-kongres dan konferensi
Tak pernah berjalan tanpa kalian
Kalian tak pernah bisa bilang 'tidak'
Lantaran kelaparan yang menakutkan
Kemiskinan yang mengekang
Dan telah lama sia-sia cari kerja
Ijazah sekolah tanpa guna
Para kepala jawatan
Akan membuka kesempatan
Kalau kau membuka kesempatan
Kalau kau membuka paha
Sedang diluar pemerintahan
Perusahaan-perusahaan macet
Lapangan kerja tak ada
Revolusi para pemimpin
Adalah revolusi dewa-dewa
Mereka berjuang untuk syurga
Dan tidak untuk bumi
Revolusi dewa-dewa
Tak pernah menghasilkan
Lebih banyak lapangan kerja
Bagi rakyatnya
Kalian adalah sebahagian kaum penganggur yang mereka ciptakan
Namun
Sesalkan mana yang kau kausesalkan
Tapi jangan kau lewat putus asa
Dan kau rela dibikin korban
Pelacur-pelacur kota Jakarta
Berhentilah tersipu-sipu
Ketika kubaca di koran
Bagaimana badut-badut mengganyang kalian
Menuduh kalian sumber bencana negara
Aku jadi murka
Kalian adalah temanku
Ini tak bisa dibiarkan
Astaga
Mulut-mulut badut
Mulut-mulut yang latah bahkan seks mereka politikkan

Saudari-saudariku
Membubarkan kalian
Tidak semudah membubarkan partai politik
Mereka harus beri kalian kerja
Mereka harus pulihkan darjat kalian
Mereka harus ikut memikul kesalahan

Saudari-saudariku. Bersatulah
Ambillah galah
Kibarkan kutang-kutangmu dihujungnya
Araklah keliling kota
Sebagai panji yang telah mereka nodai
Kinilah giliranmu menuntut
Katakanlah kepada mereka
Menganjurkan mengganyang pelacuran
Tanpa menganjurkan
Mengahwini para bekas pelacur
Adalah omong kosong

Pelacur-pelacur kota Jakarta
Saudari-saudariku
Jangan melulur keder pada lelaki
Dengan mudah
Kalian bisa telanjangi kaum palsu
Naikkan tarifmu dua kali
Dan mereka akan klabakan
Mogoklah satu bulan
Dan mereka akan puyeng
Lalu mereka akan berzina
Dengan isteri saudaranya.

Goodbye Mbah Surip...Goodbye W.S.Rendra...

There really are weird law in this world...

Mum fined for baby funeral goodbye

Source: Yahoo! UK News - Aug 4, 2009

Terrie Rouse was ordered to pay the penalty after she sat by her son Zane's coffin for an extra 10 minutes before watching it disappear through the curtains for cremation.

But she was left shocked when officials at the crematorium in Crownhill, Milton Keynes, told her she would have to pay for the extra time - at a rate of £8.60 a minute.

Ms Rouse, 32, told the Milton Keynes Citizen: "The vicar asked if I would like to spend a bit more time saying goodbye. I sat by the coffin for 10 minutes, telling my son how much we loved him and begging him not to be scared."

But her grief turned to anger when officials asked her to pay the £86.

Lee Smythe, Zane's father, who was cradling the little boy when he died at their home in Great Linford, condemned the penalty as "sick and disgusting".

He told the paper: "Terrie was weeping hysterically. She just wanted a few extra minutes to say goodbye to our much-loved little boy. How could anyone be cruel enough to charge for this?"

Officials from Milton Keynes Council, which runs the crematorium, routinely impose an extra charge if any funeral over runs its allocated half-hour slot. This is paid on top of the standard cremation fee.

The council has now refunded the charge, because of "extenuating circumstances".

A spokesman said: "We understand that sometimes more time may be preferred and so families are offered the chance to book extra time if they need it. This means when funerals that have not taken up this option over-run, a fee is automatically charged. However, when we learnt that there were extenuating circumstances we, of course, refunded the extra charge."

Wow! This is the first time ever in my life I heard a mum being fined for sitting for an extra 10 mins besides her son's coffin...

Seriously, don't you think it's a bit ridiculous? Like, duh?!

Facebook has started to be a poison in our society, I guess....

See what I found yesterday at a book shop:


Wth! 1 whole long row of books on FB (and a few on flickr and Blackberry)


And the next one is even more ridiculous:

"Facebook's best games"

ROFLMAO!! Omg they really write a book about those games we play on Fb like Pet Society, Geo Challenge, Restaurant City, etc. LOL still can't believe this kind of book really exist.

No wonder la my mum's company blocked Facebook on their internal server. Tsk tsk tsk...


On a lighter note, today is Yaya jie2's Bday! Happy Birthday Jie! Hope you had a great one! ^o^
