Gym Day

After more than 2 years not hitting a gym, I went this evening with Yenny. It was so crowded and I'm pretty embarrassed for not knowing the gym after 2 years here >_< Well, let's hope that I would start going to gym routinely after today! ^^

The Feeling - SEWN

Give me the song and I'll sing it like I mean it
Give me the words and I'll say them like I mean it

Cos you got my heart in a headlock
You stopped the blood and made my head soft
And god knows
You got me sewn

Nah nah nah etc.

Danny boy, don't be afraid, to shake that ass, and
misbehave
Danny boy, I now you got time, but what are you waiting
for,
Anyway the dust may just blow away, if you wait for a
windy day

But you may find the chance has past you by;

I can't do the way
I can't do the talk
I can't be your friend
Unless I pretend

So give me the song and I'll sing it like I mean it
So give me the words and I'll say them like I mean it

Cos you got my heart in a headlock
You stopped the blood and made my head soft
And god knows
You got me sewn

Nah nah nah etc.

Danny boy, don't be a fool
Take upon to break the rule
Danny boy your lookin so low
You lookin like the dead grown old
Anyway the blues just may wash away, if you wait for a
rainy day
But you may find, the chance had past you by

I can't do the way
I can't do the talk
I can't be your friend
Unless I pretend

So give me the song and I'll sing it like I mean it
So give me the words and I'll say them like I mean it

Cos you got my heart in a headlock
You stopped the blood and made my head soft
Cos you got my heart in a headlock
You stopped the blood and made my head soft
made my head soft
made my head soft
made my head soft
made my head soft
Yeah, yeah, yeah
oh Yeah, yeah, yeah

Waiting on the world to change - John Mayer

I first heard this song when I watched 'So you think you can dance' in FOX. And just now, my friend posted the full lyrics of it. Love it..
--------------

Me and all my friends
We're all misunderstood
They say we stand for nothing and
There's no way we ever could
Now we see everything is going wrong
With the world and those who lead it
We just feel like we don't have the means
To rise above and beat it

So we keep waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
Its hard to beat the system
When we're standing at a distance
So we keep waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change

Now if we had the power
To bring our neighbors home from war
They would've never missed a Christmas
No more ribbons on their door
When you trust your television
What you get is what you got
Cuz when they own the information ooohhh,
They can bend it all they want

So while we're waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
It's not that we don't care
We just know that the fight ain't fair
So we keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change

We're still waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
One day our generation
Is gonna rule the population

So we keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
No, we keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change.

The shrimp mayonnaise in the other hand is really good =D It's my second time making it and it won't be the last time ^^ It's really easy to make and it tastes good.

Insomnia randomness

Ugh..I can't sleep last night. Well, not just last night. I haven't really slept this past week. I think I mess up my sleeping cycle because of holidays. Last night was the worst! Luckily it's weekend, so I don't have to wake up early and go to school. I hope I could get a good night sleep tonight. There will be an Indonesian Students Call Out this evening. I was planning to come, but I feel so sleepy and I don't know any of the new students coming this semester. But, free Indonesian food..hmm..tempting..

Anyway, I just bought a male betta fish 2 days ago. It was ugly actually, but I went to 2 different Walmart and that's the best I could find. It was white with orange/blue fins and gills and black mouth. I'm planning to go to Petsmart ot Petco today. Hopefully I could find a better looking fish ^_^

Oh and out of topic, I'm so in love with Zac Efron >_<
-------------------------
If we were a movie
You'd be the right guy
And I'd be the best friend
That you'd fall in love with
In the end we'd be laughing
Watching the sunset
Fade to black
Show the names
Play the happy song
-------------------------
Who said, who said I can't be Superman
I say, I say that I know I can
Who said, who said I won't be President
I say, I say you ain't seen nothin' yet

Who said, who said I can't be worldwide
I say, I say time is on my side
Who said, who said i can't be ten feet tall
I say, I say that i can have it all
-------------------------

Have lots of free time?

The Bourne Supremacy/Ultimatum

Learn the how-to..here

First day of school sucks!

Want to know why?

1. It was raining on and off the whole day!
2. Hate all my classes
3. I waited for a bus for a friggin' 1 hour

This is the second day and I'm not feeling well at all. 2 of my classes are canceled (which is good) and I skipped my last class of the day. I stayed on my bed the whole day, slept and couldn't wake up for at least 4 hours. Everything is so fuck up! -sigh-

Last but not least, my period is here..

Liquid Kiss

What happened when coffee kissing?

What I've Been Looking For

It's hard to believe
That I couldn't see
You were always there beside me
Thought I was alone
With no one to hold
But you were always right beside me

This feelings like no other
I want you to know
I've never had someone that knows me like you do
the way you do
I've never had somone as good for me as you
no one like you so lonely before i finally found
what i've been looking for

So good to be seen
So good to be heard
Don't have to say a word
For so long I was lost
So good to be found
I'm loving having you around

This feeling's like no other
I want you to know
I've never had someone that knows me like you do
The way you do
I've never had someone as good for me as you
No one like you
So lonely before, I finally found
what I've ben looking for

When There Was Me and You

It's funny when you find yourself
Looking from the outside
I'm standing here but all I want
Is to be over there
Why did I let myself believe
Miracles could happen
Cause now I have to pretend
That I don't really care

I thought you were my fairytale
A dream when I'm not sleeping
A wish upon a star
That's coming true
But everybody else could tell
That I confused my feelings with the truth
When there was me and you

I swore I knew the melody
That I heard you singing
And when you smiled
You made me feel
Like I could sing along
But then you went and changed the words
Now my heart is empty
I'm only left with used-to-be's
[When There Was Me And You Lyrics on http://www.lyricsmania.com]
And once upon a song

Now I know you're not a fairytale
And dreams were meant for sleeping
And wishes on a star
Just don't come true
Cause now even I can tell
That I confused my feelings with the truth
Because I liked the view
When there was me and you

I can't believe that
I could be so blind
It's like you were floating
While I was falling
And I didn't mind

Cause I liked the view
Thought you felt it too
When there was me and you

Sandwiches

It takes forever to create it, and less than 5 minutes to finish it..

Fried Wonton Noodle

After yesterday, I was still curious about wonton noodle, so I decided to make another round of wonton noodle. Different than yesterday, I deep fried the wontons instead of boiling it. I also added an egg and little bit of sugar. The result? Better than yesterday, but still not up to what I want it to be.

Wonton Noodle

I was craving for wonton noodle..until just now..after I made one myself. It wasn't hard, but I don't think I want to make one again in a near future. My fire alarm rang and I had to take it off to make it silent. The noodle and the ground beef taste good. The wonton taste so-so. Here it is..

desserts

damn..desserts are expensive!

mistakes

Have you ever felt that you made a mistake and you wish you could turn back time? -sigh-

iPhone?

or even better? You decide! Meizu MiniOne

Last Weekend

As promised..my weekend story!
Warning: Long post ahead!
I started off with having Dim Sum @ Chinatown with Nancy, Kenny, Louie and one of their friends, let's call him X *can't remember his name* It's been ages since the last time I had Dim Sum. There was a festival in Chinatown and guess what they sold?! Fake branded bags and purses! I thought there's no such things in the US, but nothing can stop Chinese people. Haha.. After lunch Kenny, Louie and X went to Mitsuwa. Nancy and I stayed there and waited for Yenny, Ona and Reynold. We were planning to have a manicure and pedicure, but it was so expensive. $35 for a pedicure and another $12 for the manicure! Geez, I could have both manicure and pedicure for $25 in CA. So, we decided to stroll in the festival. I got myself Monokurobo's stuffed toys to be put in my car (photo will be posted later). I went to AjiIchiban, but they didn't have all the things I wanted! I used to buy dried squids, rock chocolates and fried seaweed there. But I couldn't find it anymore! So I didn't buy anything. We sat in front of AjiIchiban like 2 lost children waiting for their parents. Luckily, Ona called and off we go to Joy Yee. Yenny, Ona and Reynold had their lunches there and I ordered Mango Freeze with Tappioca. There's no good Bubble Tea in Purdue, so the closest place to get one is Chicago Chinatown. Joy Yee's lunch portions are HUGE! Usually whenever I go there with my friends, we order (total number of people - 1) foods. But Reynold ordered 4 foods for 3 people! Nancy and I thought they wouldn't finish it, but they did!

From Chinatown, we went to downtown to check in at the hotel. I thought the hotel will be somewhere behind John Hancock tower, but it turned out that the hotel was exactly at Magnificent Mile. It was in the middle of Millenium Park and John Hancock Tower. What a nice spot. And the hotel was nice too. Well, it's Marriott after all. After putting their luggage, we walked to Millenium Park and the photo session began..

Magnificent Mile

"The Bean" @ Millenium Park


LEGO Store


It was started to rain when we headed back to Magnificent Mile. Reynold decided to go back to the hotel, but the girls continued their journey! Off to American Girl Place, where all the rich spoiled kids buy their $100 dolls. The rain became worse, so Ona and Yenny decided to buy an umbrella @ Walgreen. We went to Hershey Tower and again..our photo session 2 began..

Hershey Syrup

Hershey's Factory Workers?

Tired and hungry, we walked back to the hotel to take some rests and discussed what we wanted to eat. At first, we decided to eat UNO Pizzeria, but on the way there, we saw one big tempting sign "BIG BOWL". It's an americanize chinese food. To say it more clearly, it is a more expensive version of Panda Express. I only ordered Fried Calamari, which tasted very standard, but not bad. Everyone else hated their foods and kinda' regretted eating there. Nancy and I drove back home after eating. It was about 12.30am when we reached my apartment and we were planning to have breakfast at Bongo Room at 10am.

As usual, Indo people are always late. It was so hard for me to open my eyes. I put my alarm clock to 8.30am, but I snoozed it until 9am. Took a shower, woke Nancy up and she woke Kenny and Louie up as well. We were ready by 10.30am, but after calling Ona, we decided to have brunch instead of breakfast at 11.30am.

Bongo room is famous for its chocolate french toast tower. Everyone told me to try having breakfast there. So now I did. It was really crowded and we had to wait about an hour to get a sit. I was about to order the french toast when I looked at the menu and tempted to order their breakfast menu. Everyone else agreed to order the breakfast menu and a french toast to be shared. When the french toast came..I was soooooo tempted to eat it than to eat my bfast meal.

Here's the ultra-special french toast =P


It looks really good and it tastes even better!! I will eat here the next time I go to Chicago!

Finishing up with our brunch, we then headed to Science Museum. We were planning to take the CSI Experience Tour but the tickets were all SOLD! We still went inside, but we just couldn't see the CSI exhibition. We were done by 5.30pm and off to our last destination: TEXAS DE BRAZIL.

It was a brazilian steakhouse buffet. If you happen to come and visit Chicago, try this restaurant. It was a unique dining experience. It wasn't cheap though. Even after we used a 25% off coupon, we still had to pay $43 per person. I've just heard they would have a 50% off promotion next week =( Well, anyway, I like this restaurant. It's my third/fourth time there. The foods worth the price, especially for special occasions.

After eating, it's time to say goodbye to Ona and Reynold. It was a FUN weekend! Hope to see you guys soon..probably in October if I could get a cheap ticket to go to SF =D

Wish List

Things I planned to buy/get..

• Desktop with at least 17" LCD screen
• iPod Nano Red (don't care how many gb, I'm currently craving for iPod)
  
• Pets (kitten / cat / small-size dog / fish?)
• Nintendo Wii
• Nokia 6300
  
• Digital Camera
• 2 years laptop warranty
• RT ticket to SF
  
• more will be added later..

...but I'm too broke to buy all of that stuffs and I don't actually need those.

Reason not to buy:

• My laptop is perfectly fine and not even one-year old
• I rarely listen to musics
• I rarely home and usually busy with projects, so no time for pets
• I only like playing Mario Party and playing it alone won't be fun at all
• Whenever I go somewhere with my friends, one of them will have a camera and will send me the pictures
• I could just stay at home and not go to SF
  

Reason to buy:

• My current Nokia N70 is not that bad, it's just that sometimes I don't get any signals for a long period of time (hm..probably I should get a new phone and sell this one)
• My laptop was broken last week and after knowing that I almost had to pay $500+ for the repair, I'm thinking of getting another 2 years of warranty

Conclusion:
Maybe I should buy the phone and the laptop warranty and not everything else. Those two will cost me almost $200 after selling my current cell phone. *gosh* Why is everything so expensive! I wish money falls from the sky or appears magically in my mailbox like the one in Japan..

And now when everyone is gone..

...I feel so lonely..again.. Weekend was FUN! (Weekend stories will be posted later) I haven't had this much fun since... *pause and think* See..I can't even remember when the last time I had fun. I missed my friends back in De Anza and also my friends back in high school. Life seems much more fun and easier when they're around.

I miss my lunch time with the gankz back when we're in high school. The "buka kamar" times and the most important thing I couldn't forget is the surprise on my birthday. I couldn't believe I could be fooled by Erline, but that was one of the happiest moments in my life. I hope we could catch up with each other soon =)

I also miss the weekend times with people in De Anza. "Cap sa" time on our "meja tengah" at cafetaria. Movie marathons and the road trips. Now that everyone has graduated, some of us are back in Indo and some of us are scattered in different states and countries.
Last but not least, I miss RV. I miss the time where he was always around me. We ate together, watched dvds and movies together. We went to Chicago, SF, LA and all other different cities together. He even accompanied me to classes once in a while and stayed up late until I finished with my projects.

For all of you guys, I thank you..you've given me so much to remember in life. Quoting from my friend’s Facebook’s quote: "Missing someone isn't about how long it has been since you've seen them or the amount of time since you've talked. It's about that moment when you're doing something and you wish they were right there with you." I wish you were here. I miss all of you.

What Oprah said..

I've just had a long talk with ZoE and she gave me this article. When I read it, I felt that it's so true! So girls, this is for you..
--------------------------------------------------
If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away. If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay.
Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior.
Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache.
Stop trying to change yourself for a relationship that's not meant to be.

Slower is better. Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy.
If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you deserve then heck no, you can't "be friends". A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend.
Don't settle. If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is.
Don't stay because you think "it will get better." You'll be mad at yourself a year later for staying when things are not better.
The only person you can control in a relationship is you.
Avoid men who've got a bunch of children by a bunch of different women. He didn't marry them when he got them pregnant, why would he treat you any differently?

Always have your own set of friends separate from his.
Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you. If something bothers you, speak up.
Never let a man know everything. He will use it against you later.
You cannot change a man's behavior. Change comes from within.

Don't EVER make him feel he is more important than you are... even if he has more education or in a better job. Do not make him into a quasi-god. He is a man, nothing more nothing less.
Never let a man define who you are.
Never borrow someone else's man. If he cheated with you, he'll cheat on you.
A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you.
All men are NOT dogs.
You should not be the one doing all the bending...compromise is two way street.
You need time to heal between relationships. ..there is nothing cute about baggage... deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship.
You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you... a relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals. Look for someone complimentary, not supplementary.

Dating is fun...even if he doesn't turn out to be Mr. Right. So don't do anything further than a friendship fast.
Make him miss you sometimes... when a man always know where you are, and you're always readily available to him - he takes it for granted.
Never move into his mother's house. Never co-sign for a man. Don't fully commit to a man who doesn't give you everything that you need.
Keep him in your radar but get to know others.

Share this with other women and men (just so they know)... You'll make someone smile, another rethink her choices, and another woman prepare.
They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them and an entire lifetime to forget them.
--------------------------------------------------
I feel so much better everytime I read this.

......

Even though I pretend to be tough..I can't deny the fact that I miss you..
