Just Another Messy Day

It’s been 3 days already I’m stuck at home with grandma. Not that I hate being with her, but I need some fresh air for God’s sake. The good news came up with Mom. She asked me to go to the airport to pick Keke up and Ega as well to his rent at Padang. Apparently, I was so sleepy that I fell asleep at about 1 p.m while I was supposed to go by 2 p.m. And yeah, as always, I couldn’t control my sleeping time but thank God, mom got home and found me sleeping in her bed. She woke me up though as usual, it was so hard, lol.

I went upstair to the storage room, ups, I meant, my room xD, had zhuhr, and got ready. Guess what? That was the first time I wore slipper to the airport though nothing’s wrong there. I’m exaggerating, yes. So, since Keke’s flight took off on 3 p.m. and I was in the airport by 4.30 p.m., I decided to go pick Ega up first to his rent at Pasar Baru, Padang. And there he was, S L E E P I N G -__-. Grrr—, he hasn’t prepared his luggage yet and I had to wait for about wasted 30 minutes. Hell.

By 5.25 p.m., we were headed to the airport back. I had ashr right after I made it at the airport and wait for Keke to appear for 10 minutes. And gosh, her luggage was soooo unbelievable for someone’s gone for 5 days only. Haha. But it was okay.

And tadaaaa— finally, after 3 weeks home, I got to had my dinner at Lamun Ombak. I’ve been craving for its specific salted fish but damned it, it was unserve. So I didn’t really eat my dinner since a stomachache came attacking me -_-.

Apparently, today was kind of mixed with no happy feelings. There were resentments as usual, and there were sadness due to my peculiar issue with an ex. Gosh, I thought I was going home for holidays but turns out, this month, I’m damned in some ways.

And hey! Kampus Goes to Kampuang is about to come to its end. Minang Culture Festival (MCF) would be held the days after tomorrow for three days and after that, ka-boom! All these fun is going to be paid. Not a thing but great experiences I earned here. Al least, it colored my holiday. Thanks KGtK, Thanks IMAMI, Thanks God!

This Is the Time When…… :((

This is the time when every single hope I’ve been keeping for a long time doesn’t seem to become a reality anytime soon.

This is the time when all fears I’ve been trying to evade for my whole life are becoming real and frightening the hell out of me.

This is the time when I don’t even know how’d I ever face the world with a big smile hanged on this stupid scary face.

This is the time when even my own body is no longer convenience to bear my soul.

This is the time when every single thing I’ve been doing to help doesn’t even earn me a thank.

This is the time when friends and enemies are look alike each other.

This is the time when not even someone I’ve been seeing as my role model looks like a sinner.

This is the time when everything seems as gray as my personality.

This is the time when I post something fluctuating everywhere.

This is the time when time doesn’t run as it’s supposed to be.

Yeah! I will never forget today for sure! Not that I went to Tangerang due to Fasilkom UI Goes to School (FGS) at SMAN 1 Tangerang but more for one of the greatest road trip I ever had. So, after the all night long KGtK plenary at the dormitory, this morning I somehow managed to woke up earlier than usual on 5.30 a.m. I felt so brand new this morning, forgetting my messed-up programming mid-term score -_-.

By 6.45, I got to the campus and the only one who’s there already was only Amri. It was a shame of us, of course, since we were supposed to be there by 6.30. Oh, I’m sorry, so “ we” I’m talking about here are us xP who’re *don’t miss the aposthrophe cause it’s gonna be whore -_-* going to SMAN 1 Tangerang to socialize Fasilkom UI to the students there. We were going by Harish’s car. The passengers were me, Miss Exaggerating, Nila, the teen Idol, Amri *my senior and my mentor as well*, Puji, and our Miss *read: Mister* Beauty Sapi a.k.a Farah. Also don’t forget to count Rizki and Astri who were native to Tangerang so they were at the school already preparing and suffering xP from the vice principal’s stubborness.

Puji and Amri, who were native too, was supposed to be the living map since none of us know the route to SMAN 1 Tangerang. But geez— turns out they didn’t know it real good as well. So we took longer than it should’ve taken on the road and made it to the high by 9.30 while the socialization was supposed to start by 9.00 o’clock.

Oh, one thing we all would never forget, note this, NILA, our Miss Lebay, looked so bad in the car just about 10 minutes to the high school. Guess What? She thrown up! THROWN UP! THROWN UP inside Harish’s car, in Puji’s jeans, Puji’s Yellow Jacket, and as well, she did the road too. Yucks! Somehow she made it through still though it was disgusting, you know, she thrown up in her hand at first *yikes!* and— errr, okay, let’s skip this one. I’m feeling sick now -_-.

So, 2 hours in the lab, talking, presenting, and sharing with about 30 students, including those chicks made some good friends with me on twitter and facebook. One thing, the power was out! So we did the whole things with no slides, no electricity means no projector. So every single thing was delivered by our sexy mouths -_- *at least mine is hot -_-*. ROFL.

Nah, here the great trip started. So, Amri, Astri and Rizki were going home by their own and I, Nila, Harish, Farah were headed back to Depok by ourselves after taking Puji to his home first. So, inside the car, at first, there was nothing special seemed to happen, but Farah, yeah, our beauty chick xP, started the topic. She asked me something I’ve been keeping for myself for about 2 last weeks and after some secuctions xD , my defense was broken. I told ‘em the whole story and there we were, I’m with my daily friends, with none of ‘em inside, Farah with his *her* galau gank, Harish with his mates, and Nila with her Annoying Team -_- sharing the same topics from our own point of views. And you know what? That was a blast! We talked frontally and honestly each other. It was much better than hiding your feeling for yourself, for sure. So, there was some misunderstanding between me and Harish and yeah, we’re so much cooler right now, between me and Nila *kind of* and some other names I’d rather not publish here. But yeah, everything is clear now and I thank God so much for ‘em :*.

At first, we were considering to go somewhere cozy to spend the rest of the day til night comes. PIM was the first choice, but maaan, it was Saturday Night. What do you expect from PIM at Saturday Night? Yeah. Total Crowd -_-. So the wisest choice was Cibubur Junction, much better than Margo City -_-, of course since we’re all now living in Depok. But hell, even there, in Cibubur Junction, no parking lot was available for us so there was no choice but cancelling the plan. We decided to drop by McDonald’s® Cibubur for some meals and it was fine enough since Harish was supposed to be back in Bogor by 7 p.m. for a family dinner.

We had the whole stories talked and shared inside the car. Hatred, Resentment, and Laughs were blended in one and there a thought crossed my mind. Well, I’ve been spending most of my days with the same friends and them too as well but once we’re together, hanging around, and share each other, it feels so good. I had never been feeling this pleasant for a long time anyway. Haha.

By the night comes, I had a conference meeting in Yahoo! Messenger with the Research Division of Narration 2011. Though it was only an hour chit chat, at least I managed to know some of my partners.

That’s all for today. And I’ms sorry if there was overlap here and there since I might be miss some spots since I’m writing this post quite long after today -_- *nyeeeh, what am I talking about? Haha*

So, one thing I learned so much from today is “Don’t let your self trapped in a world with the same people every single day. Go make friends with those you have never really made good times with and there you’ll find what life offers  you at some point.”  *err—just ignore it* haha.

See? You Never Know What’s Outside Your Box if you keep living the same way every single day. So be brave, be tough, and expand your sights! :D

SO WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT  :| :| :|

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGH  :| :| :|

I KNOW IT’S MY FAULT AT ALL

I’M LACK OF MOTIVATIONS

I’M LACK OF SPIRITS

I’M LACK OF AWARENESS

I’M LACK OF SELF-REFLECTIONS

AND BY THE WAY,YEAH, I’M SO NOT PASSIONATE IN THIS!!

SENGGOL -> BACOK

SO, BEFORE I GO ANY FURTHER, I GOTTA EXPLAIN Y’ALL WHAT “SENGGOL BACOK” IS. THIS ACTUALLY IS A TERM REFERS TO A CONDITION WHEN YOU DON’T FEEL LIKE HAVING A GOOD DAY AND EVERYTHING JUST APPEARS TO BE ANNOYING AS HELL FOR YOU.

AS WELL AS IT HAS BEEN MENTIONED FOR SEVERAL TIMES, I AM IN CHARGE OF THE COMMUNICATION NETWORK FOR MY BATCH IN FACULTY OF COMPUTER SCIENCE, UNIVERSITAS INDONESIA. THAT’S WHY ALL INFORMATIONS WOULD  NORMALLY SPREAD OUT BY ME. BUT SERIOUSLY, I CAN’T KEEP IT THIS WAY NY LONGER.

IT ALL STARTED AT ABOUT 01.10 A.M. WHEN I RECEIVED THE MESSAGE FROM KEMAL, THE CHAIRMAN OF  BATCH OF 2010, THAT THE ORIENTATION BOOK SHOULD BE SUBMITTED TODAY IN FRONT OF BEM OFFICE. NO TIME LIMIT INCLUDED ANYWAY.

I AFTER ALL THEN HEADED TO SEKRE SQUARE ALONG WITH TIA TO SPREAD THE NEWS BY TEXT MESSAGES. I SENT ALL THE MESSAGES RIGHT AWAY TO SOME OTHERS WHO WOULD HELP MEN SPREAD IT TO THE REST OF US AS SOON AS MY PHONE IS CHARGED UP. I WAS REALLY IN A RUSH SINCE I’M AFRAID IF THERE’D BE ANYONE WOULDN’T RECEIVE THE NEWS SO I MADE THE TIME LIMIT UP AT 02.00 P.M. IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM WOULDN’T BE LATE. I HONESTLY DIDN’T KNOW THAT THE TIME LIMIT WAS AT 5.00 P.M. SO IS IT SO WRONG THAT I MADE IT UP ??

A WHILE AFTER ALL MESSAGES HAS BEEN SENT, SOME REPLIES STARTED TO COME IN AND YEAH,  I REALLY AM FINE WITH THE JOB. I LOVE TO HELP AND TO BE USEFUL FOR EVERYONE. BUT FOR GOD’S SAKE, IT REALLY ANNOYS THE HELL OUT OF ME WHEN PEOPLE DOESN’T APPRECIATE WHAT I’VE BEEN DOING. I DON’T GET PAID, I DON’T GET PRAISED, I DON’T GET MARKS OR WHATSOEVER. SO COME OOOON, A “THANKS FOR INFORMING” OR “THANKS FOR SPREADING THE NEWS” OR EVEN JUST A “THX”, FULL STOP, WOULD REALLY MEAN SOMETHING FOR ME.

BUT WHAT HAPPENED TODAY WAS SO IRRITATING. THEY KEPT COMPLAINING ME LIKE “WHY DON’T YOU TEXT  ME EARLIER?” OR “AW! YOU SHOULD’VE TOLD ME EARLIER. I’M HOME NOW. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? ” AND ANOTHER ANNOYING PHRASES THEY MIGHT DON’T THINK OFFENDED ME. I DON’T KNOW WHAT’S WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE BUT I’VE BEEN FEELING LIKE UNDER-APPRECIATED FOR QUITE LONG TIME NOW. NOT ‘EM, NOT THE OTHERS, NOT EVEN MY OWN FRIENDS.

“DON’T ACT AS IF YOU WERE THE ONLY DAMN PERSON WITH PROBLEMS IN THIS WORLD. SOME PEOPLE MIGHT SUFFER FROM MORE BURDENS THAN YOU CAN’T EVEN IMAGINE BUT THEY DON’T LET THEMSELVES GO LOW AND MAKE ANOTHERS IRRITATED BY THEIR ATTITUDE. SIMPLY SAID, DON’T BE SUCH A BLABBER-MOUTH-DRAMA-QUEEN, Y’ALL!”

SORRY FOR ANYONE MIGHT BE OFFENDED. ALL I HOPE IS THAT EVERYONE WOULD STOP BEING SUCH A SELFISH AND BLAMING OTHERS FOR WHAT THEY’RE NOT RESPONSIBLE TO. THANKS.

*******************************************************************************************************

IF YOU’VE GOT ANY COMMENT, JUST LEAVE IT HERE. I’M AVAILABLE FOR A SOUND DISCUSSION :)

So, the first thing to pop out in your mind should be, “Online Election?” “In Indonesia?” or anything elses. But it really does exist here, in the Faculty of Computer Science, Universitas Indonesia. The software was built by the Microsoft Innovation Center of Universitas Indonesia.

Take a look on the homepage of the electionline:

So, the election was held to elect the Independent members of Dewan Perwakilan Mahasiswa (House of Students Representatives) and the new chairman of Badan Eksekutif Mahasiswa (Students Executive Board) of Faculty of Computer Science Universitas Indonesia. All 3 candidates for DPM made it since they all got more than 50 votes. Here is the printscreen of the result:

And here is the result of BEM Election, which was won by Ryan Pradipta Putra – Dori Gusvawijaya, the candidates whom I was one of the Campaigning Team.

I honestly didn’t expect to win this big. Yeah. But I’m just so happy to have my candidates win the election. Hope that they’d lead the board as what they promoted in the campaign. Amin. :D :D :D :D

Oh-My-God! I have been waiting for this like forever. The song is meaningful and has deep lyrics. The video shows us spirit and belief to face the world no matter who we are. ‘Cause we r who we are! :D :D So, guys, Raise Your Glasses!! :D :D

Check the complete chart out at Billboard Hot 100 Chart

I’m a Super Mayor! :D

I bet you gotta know what Foursquare is. A social network where you can check-in to any place you’re at. The cool things about it is that you can earn badges, mayorship of a place, and another features. I have been an active user for 43 days by now. But, honestly, I haven’t been checking-in to any place since 3 or 4 weeks ago. I feel bored already, lol. I got the idea of sharing my page printscreen to you all since I really ama a super mayor. I was the mayor of 27 places yesterday, but my senior, Irene, took over my mayorship of Musholla Al-Khawarizmi Fasilkom UI, and 2 strangers took over me from Giant Margo city and Steak & Shake Margonda. Well, I’m still a super mayor though with these 24 mayorships!! :D :D :D :D

Haha. So, Anyone dare to take over all my mayorships? I betcha won’t. If you do, all i can say is, GO GET A LIFE!! :hammer: :D :D :D

Well, I really am not showing off to you all, but it’s just so great to have one (even one only) subject that you’re good at. I’ve been so much disappointed with my Discrete Math and Foundations of Programming marks, so no matter what people would think of me, I’m just trying to share the happiness i’m suffering from! This mark should be initialized as an A grade score and what makes it more and more special is that the lecturer, Mr. Menaldi, is famous for being such a stingy in scoring his students. There might be another person from other class who got higher than mine, but I really don’t care since they didn’t get it from this Super Stingy Lecturer! I finally have something good to expect at the end of this semester though the 4 other subjects are kind of miserable. Lastly, don’t call me show-off, call me such an honest to share happiness :) :) :)

33rd Jazz Goes to Campus

Hello guys! I finally manage to keep this blog of mine updated regularly. After the newest chart for November 29 – December 5 and the Community Service memories, now I’m gonna give you the hot one! Yeah! It’s the annual precious Jazz Festival hold by the Faculty of Economics of Universitas Indonesia, Jazz Goes to Campus which is the 33rd edition.

I actually bought 8 tickets for me myself and 7 friends of mine but Ami was being hospitalized (thank God she’s getting well already), Kemal was preparing for ACM/ICPC Asian Regional, and some others would face Foundations of Programming 2nd Quiz tomorrow. So, it was only me, Wija, Egi, and Tika at first.

We made it to the venue at FE UI Campus at 2 p.m. and then we visited some furnitures and handicraft booth stall. Since it was not the primetime of the festival yet, I personally didn’t expect to watch something good before the night comes. But I was surprised for sure due to Andre Harihandoyo & Sonic People’s performance on JGtC Lounge sang “Pokerface” in a semi-rock jazz aarrangement. That was really  a blast! :D

At about 3 p.m., Dinda and Ulfah joined us . With the rain pouring down, we decided to had some kind of lunch (at 4 p.m. lol) and wasted the time with Tika’s soap bubbles pistol (what a childish, huh?) :D Bored of playing with the soap bubbles, we went over to Mandiri Stage, where Margie Segers, Rien Djamain and Ermy Kulit were performing and well done, they are the divas of jazz, aren’t they?

The real show we’ve been waiting for was the night session. There will be The Groove reunion, Andien, Idang Rasjidi, Barry Likumahuwa Project and the closing performance by Maliq n d’Essentials. We managed to watch The Groove’s performance through th wide screen but we missed Endah & Rhesa’s who was dazzling according to a friend of mine. But it really was fine because it’d be definitely rare to watch The Groove again since they’re not together anymore. Rieka Roeslan is busy with her solo career, Yuke with Dewa 19, and the other members are busy with their own project. What I love the most from their performance was the moment of my favorite song, “KHAYALAN” which was seriously, burned the fire in me and convinced me to have all jazz all night long.

We then moved to the BCA Stage, where Idang Rasjidi and friends were performing on the stage with additional vocal by a talented classical singer, Sastrani. Then the MC appeared, gave some quizzes, chatting around, and people started to shouted “Andien!  Andien! Andien” more and more since based on the guide book, Andien, the one I personally wanted to see the most, was supposed to perform on the stage by 8 p.m. It’s been 9 p.m. and it was like forever to wait there. While waiting for Andien, Harish & Ishal joined us and there we were, in the middle of the crowd, 6 meters from the stage (quoted from Tika).

It seemed like Andien was switched with Idang Rasjidi and since she wasn’t ready yet, the organizer decided to feed the audience “Indonesian Youth Regeneration” first. I honestly thought it was some kind of choir or orchestra, but in fact, it was a band of 6 young boys, and from its appearance, I knew it was going to be a big shock. And there, I was damn right. Their performance was so much out of my expectations. What a very nice pop-jazz arrangements of Justin Bieber’s Baby, Ne*Yo’s So Sick, and some others. And for their closing, they performed their upcoming first hit single which popped the realit in my head, “Oh my god, that man (the vocalist) is Albert, the runner-up of a kid talent show years ago)”. Maaaaan, he’s grown up and I gotta admit that his voice was real good. But the most shocking part was the time when I realized that the drummer, was Demas -_-, yeah, Demas Narawangsa, the junior drummer I often watched on YouTube™. Well, overall, this Indonesian Youth Regeneration is a promising talent and if they keep this amazing work up, I’m not hesitate to predict that they’re going to make a very bright career.

Ah! I almost forgot this one. So, Demas, before he left the stage, threw his drum sticks to the crowd and obviously, that was so out of my range. But there he was, with four more sets and he threw one to each area. And yes, I TOUCHED ONE! TOUCHED ONE! TOUCHED! buut it FELL OFF OF MY HAND -..- and the thief :p behind me STOLE it! Then Harish told me, “that’s an old friend of mine,” and I was like “Zzzzzzzz..Just let him have it!” L

IYR was really a good performer but people started to shout Andien’s name again and again. And yeah, she finally came up. She’s now grown-up, with long hair, and flirting eyes :D . She sang my favorite, “Gemintang”, and of course, her hot new single, “Moving On”. Well, I have nothing more to write down for her but Thanks! Thanks for such a great show!

And yeeeaaah, it was 11.30 p.m. already and it really was the time everybody’s been waiting for, Maliq n d’Essentials. Harish and I made it to sneak in the middle of the crowd and we got quite convenient spot to watch right in front of the stage but the others didn’t. Trie Utami was giving her closing and she really was good. Her voice sounds just as dazzling as it’s always been. Didi SSS impressed everybody’s ther e with his mad saxophone and that’s all. It’s Maliq’s time but just as they were preparing, the MC took over the attention, giving quiz, chatting around and I was so sick of their voices. I’ve been moving over stage to stage and the MC everywhere was just as annoying as that ORANGE! -..-

At about 12 p.m., the light went off, and there, on the stage, Maliq n d’Essentials came up from the dark. The crowd was quite amazing for such a small concert. And I felt like a dumb there. Almost every single person around me sang along with them (and count Harish in) but I, I was in the silent mode most of the time except for “Terdiam” and “Coba Katakan”. Well, you know, I’m not really a fan of local music. I was but I am not. And don’t blame me, ‘cause it really sucks, you know, since those stupid bands took over the music industry. I don’t expose name but I bet you know what I’m referring to.

It was 1.30 a.m. and it means it’s Monday already, lol. We went home. Tika slept at Wija’s and I went home by myself. Got home at about 2 a.m., and that’s all, I ended Sunday already and now, I think I’m gonna put Monday to an end. Full Stop. See you next time soon!

TURBO Community Service

After the struggle of Discrete Math 2nd Test in the morning, we managed to held a community service as a “task” from the PMB committee board. It was such a relieve to see those adorable kids having fun. It somehow earned spirits in me :)

Or those not-adorable-at-all-lol-rofl “kids” (?)

Or this beautiful girl *blush* *blush*

Haha. Well then, I’m sorry if you think this post is poorly made but I’m just not really in the mood of typing. Next time better I promise! :) :)

So, tonight I was on the train heading to Bogor from Depok. I boarded by 8 p.m. and made it at Bogor Town Station at about 9 p.m. I don’t really used to Economic Train since the Air-Conditionered one is much better but I was running out of time so I had to and turned out it was quite miserable witnessing those people with low-income has to board this kind of  train every single day. For God’s sake, I know I’m not in the position of complaining, but seriously, can’t the government provide us, in this case the citizens whether they’re financially wealthy or not, better transportations? Well, the answer is unknown. How long? Forever?

JUST DON’T ASK ME! :)

SIWAK-NG 2010 <3

Two nights and three days at Cibubur Campsite with my adorable batchmates and seniors. Attending Studi Islam Awal Kuliah – Next Generation (SIWAK-NG) 2010, an annual event for fresh students organized by Forum Ukhuwah dan Kajian Islam (FUKI) Fasilkom UI. I love the days I spent there since I managed to make great friends with Kemal, Rama, Harish, and many others. We got to know better each other and the mood was just so much cool. Many things happened here. Not only the friendships I built, but also how I got to knew others’ hidden personality. Aditya Amin with his gay jokes, Puji with his *sorry* nipple screamer *lol*, or Mufid with his weird sensitivity. And one thing I’m gonna regret for a long time was when I almost cried out due to Rizky Ridyasmara’s session where I didn’t get a chance to spit those bunch of questions in my mind. Kemal stole my chance. YEAH! HE DID! -__- Haha. That’s it. I’m not really in the mood of typing now so here are some photos live from the scene.
