I was chatting with my friend and she reminded me that tomorrow is Ash Wednesday. That reminds me. The day after tomorrow, my closest childhood friend is going to be married!!
This isn't a new news for me. I've known it since last year when she first told me she was engaged. But the reality of the real thing happening in less than a day, that makes me think if my turn would one day come....
Happy Chinese New Year!! I had fun last night celebrating with the Chinese here in Duluth. Here is some interesting and funny math joke in the spirit of the Pig year. Enjoy!
Human = eat + sleep + work + enjoy
Pigs = eat + sleep
Hence, Human = Pigs + work + enjoy
If Human - enjoy = Pigs + work, then
Human that don't know enjoy = pigs that work
Men = eat + sleep + earn money
Pigs = eat + sleep
Hence, Men = Pigs + earn money
If Men - earn money = Pigs, then
Men that don't earn money = Pigs
Women = eat + sleep + spend
Pigs = eat + sleep
Hence, Women = Pigs + spend
If Women - spend = Pigs, then
Women that don't spend = Pigs
Summary:
Men earn money not to let women become pigs!
Women spend not to let men become pigs!Men + Women = 2 Pigs
Wish all the pigs happy forever!
Selagi nungguin kelas jam 4 nanti, gue baca2 berita seputar banjir Jakarta di Liputan 6. Satu laporan berjudul, Pesan Singkat Penjarahan. Biasalah, di Indonesia; sumber derita satu orang bisa jadi sumber pendapatan orang lain. PENJARAHAN... Tega bener yah.
Jadi seminggu setelah banjir, mulai beredar SMS ajakan menjarah Hero dan kawan-kawan. Usut punya usut, biang keladinya Iwan Sumule, aktivis sebuah partai politik, yang juga bergelar Ketua Dewan Perwakilan Daerah Jakarta Banteng Muda Indonesia. Public Figure gitu loh!!.
Dan kali ini nggak polisi nggak salah tangkep kok. Soalnya nih orang ngaku ngirim SMS tersebut. Maksudnya bercanda kali yah, dia ngirimnya ke kenalan aja. Tapi apa ya gak mikir gitu... dampaknya bisa jadi kaya apa. Dasar geblek!
Edit: However,
One bad apple doesn't spoil the whole bunch, right?!So, maju terus Indonesiaku!!!!
Learning the Chinese language has been so much fun! I don't remember why I resented learning it in the past... My dad had been trying to get me into learning Chinese since a long time ago. But I just didn't have the will to do it. And so I ended up just remembering a very tiny portion of it, not enough to at least converse simple dialogues. However, I'm having a blast now.
I greeted my dad in Chinese the last time I called him. I sure surprised him by that. LOL... Glad I can still make my dad happy by just doing this simple things.~\\(^0^)//~
再见! ;)
When disasters like earthquakes and tsunamis striked Indonesia, my beloved city Jakarta was not affected. No, those natural disasters are not the enemy of my city. The enemy of my city is floods... The last bad one happened on the year 2002. At that time, my high school was closed and classes were conducted temporarily at a different place.
This year, another flood strikes. And the news said this time, it's worst than last time. They said it's the worst flood in 15 years. Well, they say a picture worths a thousand words. So here it is, a picture of one of the area from above.
Click on the picture above to look at other pictures of what Jakarta looks like because of the flood.
It is very disappointing when someone made a promise and didn't keep it. Urgh! It frustrates me. Even more so when this time my best friend does so without thinking that I might be sacrificing my precious getting-up-late-on-the-weekend time expecting she'll show up soon. >,<
Yeah.. I sometimes make some empty promises too. So this is a lesson for me, not to easily say, 'I'll do this, I'll do that, I promise.' However, when the promise is about meeting someone, I always meet my end of the promise. I even try to be there 5 minutes early most of the time.
I expected too much... I was so excited about this I woke up before my alarm clock went off... And now, I'm waiting and waiting and waiting.......
Keep your promise, or don't promise anything at all.
I was chatting with my 2 sisters and my baby sister said she had a weird dream. She said she dreamt that she was out eating at an all-you-can-eat restaurant where all the dishes looked wonderfully tasty. And then she stopped. The two of us were waiting for the rest of the story so we went silent. Turned out that was it. She was just telling us about her dream to let us know how she wished she really was in that kind of restaurant.
Anyway, then I thought, at least she's dreaming. I either rarely dream when I'm sleeping, or I rarely remember my dream. I think it's the first though cause it feels that way most of the time. I know my younger sister dreams a lot, I mean LOTS! And often times it's really interesting dreams. Ones that can be conversation topics. I wonder why I never had dreams like that...
