last night i watched infernal
affairs. tentang mata2
 . tony
leung jadi polisi yg ditempatin sebagai mata2 di triad.
sementara andy
lau jadi anggota triad yg ditempatin sbg mata2 di polisi.
sampe ber-tahun2
mereka disitu. akhirnya mulai saling curiga sampe kepala triad
& kepala polisi-nya sama2
mati
  .
padahal cuman mereka yg tau ttg keberadaan mata2. di film ini
juga ada sammi
cheng, kelly chen, & elva hsiao. tapi mereka cuman jadi
figuran banget. keliatan cuman dikit. ps: tony

the movies please...
warren
schmidt
(jack
nicholson) was retired
from an insurance company. at first he felt strange having nothing
to do at all  . from
a magazine's ad he became a
foster parent for an african boy.
then suddenly his wife died .
after had awful life without his wife, he decided to travel
across the states,
visiting his past places. then he visited his daughter who was
having a wedding. his daughter's new family was so different
from the schmidts. but then he could accept them. |

this
is the movie where adrien
brody got oscar
this year. the story was slow. similar to schindler's
list where they have the germans tried to get some jews
to be tortured. the setting was also in poland. spielzman,
a
jewish pianist,
lived in warsaw
during the second world war.
his family died
one by one, but he was save because a german officer helped
him after saw him played piano very well. watch this movie if
you love chopin.
it's everywhere!!!! 
|
actually i there are some more
movies,
but i don't really remember. i'll post them later.
by the way, i'm on bet
with someone, wish me luck!!! 
i know i can do it. it's just soooo
hard....

my plane  was delayed
because someone checked-in, put his luggage, then dissapeared. so

in vain,
the crews decided to take out his luggage out of the airplane *because
in can be some dangerous
stuff  *. i forgot to ask
that guy's name. amrozy
probably  .

selesai
baca  'kenanga'.
gue tau buku ini dari anak
ini. menurut dia di blognya sih bagus, jadinya gue pengen
baca. tapi menurut gue biasa aja .
pengarangnya oka
rusmini
*famous balinese writer*. ceritanya tentang kehidupan
di bali dgn perbedaan kasta2nya.
luh intan,
anak dari kata sudra, dari kecil dipelihara oleh kenanga
yg kastanya tinggi. ternyata dia adalah anak gelap dari kenanga
& bhuana,
adik ipar kenanga. disini juga digambarkan kalo orang yg hidup
dgn kasta tinggi juga gak selalu enak. malahan lebih |
banyak
peraturannya. buku ini isinya lebih banyak jeritan hati sih  .
tapi lumayan buat dibaca kalo pengen tau tentang balinese culture.
i was away for a couple days and my
old guestbook is full. maybe you don't notice it, but i got
another new
guestbook!!!

sista is in bali, visited
me
in the office  , but no
one think
that she's my sista. we don't look like each other very much .
then we went shopping at surfergirl
*i got blue pants  *.
after
weeks, at last i finished reading 
white
teeth. a good
book  *once again,
thx to darwin
*. i desperately
like it.
but it's long, small font, and need a bit concentration to read
it *i have problem with concentration *.
it won
some awards.
so for those book's lovers ,
who have patient and concentration, i recommend to read it.
it's
about intercultural:
This has been the century of strangers, brown, yellow, and
white. This has been the century of the great immigrant experiment.
It is only this late in the day that you can walk into a playground
and find Isaac Leung by the fish pond, Danny Rahman in the football
cage, Quang O'Rouke bouncing basketball, and Irie Jones humming
a tune. |
|
 |
Children
with first and last name on a direct collision course. Names that
secrete within them mass exodus, cramped boats and planes, cold arrivals,
medical checkups. It is only this late in the day, and possibly only
in Willesden, that you can find best friend Sita and Sharon, constantly
mistaken for each other because Sita is white (her mother liked the
name) and Sharon is Pakistani (her mother thought it best - less trouble).
Yet, despite all the mixing up, despite the fact that we finally slipped
into each other's lives with reasonable comfort (like a man returning
to his lover's bed after a midnight walk), despite all this, it is
still hard to admit that there is no more English than the Indian,
no more Indian than the English. There are still young white men who
are angry about that; who will roll out at closing time into the poorly
lit streets with a kitchen knife wrapped in a tight fist.
about the friendship
between archie,
an english who married a jamaican (clara)
and samad
iqbal
*not this iqbal
*, a bengali. they met
in the second world war as soldiers, and became best friend. archie
has a daugther, irie
and samad has twin son: magid
and millat.
their children grew up together, then some complicated relationship
among the people in the story came up. zadie
smith wrote the story with funny language  .

gara2
liat foto
bendera
 di kbri di blognya slesta,
gue jadi inget waktu gue ditugasin naekin bendera di upacara
17an di kbri
*gue barusan nemu site-nya kbri ini di google,
tapi standard banget & kayaknya jarang di update, jadi males gue link*.
ceritanya gue udah tinggal di negara itu beberapa tahun, trus menjelang
17 agustus, gue ditelfon
sama salah satu ibu2 kbri utk jadi ikutan berpartisipasi di upacara
17an. kenapa gue kepilih? yah soalnya di negara itu anak indonesianya
emang gak
banyak.
lagian kan sebagian udah
pernah,
jadi mereka ngasi kesempatan buat yg blm
pernah.
mulailah kita tiap
sore latihan.
kebetulan bln agustus kan musim panas  ,
jadinya pas
liburan sekolah.
selain gue, ada 5 anak lainnya *jadinya 3 cowok & 3 cewek*. gue sendiri
jarang ketemuan
sama mereka. abisan sebagian dari mereka emang sekolahnya di negara
tetangga. di negara tempat gue tinggal emang gak
ada sekolah indonesianya.
jadi banyak anak2 indonesia yg pengen sekolah di sekolah indonesia
pada tinggal di negara tetangga. lagian di eropa kan antara satu negara
& negara lainnya deketan. gue sendiri sekolah di
sekolah internasional.
di sekolah gue cuman
ada 2 anak indonesia
& temen gue ini udah pernah naekin bendera.
menjelang
hari h-nya gue dikasi duit sama ibu2 yg nawarin gue dulu itu. kayaknya
ini penghasilan gue sendiri yg pertama  .
kalo gue rupiahin sekarang jumlahnya lumayan banyaaaaak
banget  . si ibu itu bilang
sih katanya buat beli baju *kita disuruh pake baju putih2*. tapi gue
udah punya bajunya .
tanggal 17 agustus
*gue lupa tahunnya  ,
yg pasti bukan tahun 1945*, pagi2 kita udah
siap
di halaman belakang kbri tempat diadain upacara. bokap gue udah bawa2
video kamera, nyokap gue, spt ibu2 indonesia lainnya pake kebaya.
trus upacara dimulai. sama aja sih spt upacara2 di indonesia lainnnya.
pas bagian naekin bendera emang rada2
ngaco
 . siapa lagi yg bikin kesalahan
kalo bukan gue.
selesai upacara, ada acara makan2.
ini yg di-tunggu2 .
soalnya kapan lagi bisa makan makanan indonesia tercinta. walaupun
rasanya gak terlalu mirip sama yg asli di indonesia. trus ngobrol2,
trus bosen....

met
an old
friend
last night . when did we
see each other for the last time? years
ago!!
i always have this-kind-of-nice-feeling
when i met someone from
the past
& re-tell our old stories. she's leaving this morning and don't
know when we'll see each other again .
some
movies...
*hi nis *
gue
suka banget sama film i
am sam .
ngingetin dikit sama kramer
vs kramer. tentang sam
(sean
penn) a waiter in starbuck,
a beatles's big
fan, and a retarded whose brain about the same as 7 years-old.
he got a daughter named lucy
*from lucy
in the sky with diamons* that he loves so much. until
on lucy's 7th birthday, lucy was taken away because they thought
sam wasn't able to take care of lucy. it was very touchy 
when sam fought back. |

you
can see andy
lau and sammi
cheng in fat version in love
on a diet. about a girl who became very fat
until her boyfriend who hasn't seen her for years couldn't
recognize her.
then she tried hard to
get her shape back
with the help of another fat guy. but like usual, she turned
out to like the fat guy *who lost weight later, of course* more
than her boyfriend. |
in
sixth
day, sometime
in the future,
people is getting better in clonning. it was illegal
to clone human
but ok for pets 
 . but some bad
guys did clonning for human. then the situation became confusing,
who was the clone and who was the real human? |

my last weekend walking....
walking.... walking...
saturday night in kuta
& sunday in sanur

things
about walking is you see the things you usually miss when you're on
vehicle and then you can eat bigger portion of meal without feeling
too guilty  .
here are some
pictures from sanur:

"Joyce!
Ja-oyce! Joshua and his marijuana-smoking friends are here!"
Pulchritude. From the Latin, pulcher, beautiful. That was
the word that first struck Joyce when Millat Iqbal stepped forward
onto the steps of her conservatory, sneering at Marcus's bad jokes,
shading his violet eyes from a fading winter sun. Pulchritude: not
just the concept but the whole physical word appeared before her
as someone had type it onto her retina - Pulchritude
- beauty where you would least suspect it, hidden in a word that
looked like it should signify a belch or a skin infection. Beauty
in a tall young man who should have been indistinguishable to Joyce
from those she regulary bought milk and bread from, gave her accounts
to for infection, or passed her checkbook to behind the thick glass
of a bank till.

neue staatsgalerie
(new galery) 1984, was the
extension
of alte staatsgalerie (old galery) which was opened in 1843
as an art museum. the design was made by james
stirling, michael wilford & associates, an architect
bureau based in london.
stirling,
a glasgow born architect, who won many prizes in 1970s, designed
the staatsgalerie as a representative
monumental
building like the 19th century's museum
building type.
the old |
and
new galery are connected by a "bridge".
the
new galery's plan is u-shape
with rotunda
*kind of open space* in the center. what i like the most from the
building is the contrast
used of colors  , materials
(stone, glass, metal), and form. he even used the combination of historical
and modern elements.
i
was going to visit
this building when i went to stuttgart, but it
was monday
and i was in stuttgart for only
one day.
like in most places in the world, galeries and museums are closed
on monday!!

Around
the beginning of this century, the Queen of Thailand
was abroad a boat, floating along with many courtiers, manservants,
maids, feet-bathers, and food-tasters, when suddenly the stern hit
a wave and the queen was thrown overboard into the turquoise waters
of the Nippon-Kai, where, despite her pleas for help, she drowned,
for not one person on that boat went to her aid. Mysterious to the
outside world, to the Thai the explanation was immediately clear:
tradition demanded, as it does to this day, that no man or woman may
touch the queen.

It is different for the people of Bangladesh,
formerly East Pakistan, formerly India, formerly Bengal. They live
under the invisible finger of random disaster, of flood and cyclone,
hurricane and mudslide. Half the time half their country lies under
the water; generations wiped out as regularly as clockwork; individual
life expectansy an optimistic fifty-two, and they are coolly aware
that when you talk about apocalypse, when you talk about random death
en masse, well, they are leading the way in that particular field,
they will be the first to go, the first to slip Atlantis-like down
to the seabed when the pesky polar icecaps begin to shift and melt.
It is the most ridiculous country in the world, Bangladesh. It is
God's idea of a really good wheeze,
his stab at black comedy. You don't need to give out questionnaires
to Bengalis. The facts of disaster are the facts of their lives. Between
Alsana's sweet-sixteenth birthday (1971), for example and the year
she stopped speaking directly to her husband (1985), more people died
in Bangladesh, more people perished in the winds and the rain, than
in Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Dresden put
together. A million people lost lives
that they had learned to hold lightly in the first place.

gue
lagi males nulis2
tentang film nih *dzigh*. tapi sekitaran 2 minggu yg lalu gue
nonton terminator
3. like you see from the title it's just the next sequel
of terminator. there was still john
connor
who's much older *of course* with mission to save
the world.
you also still can find arnold
schwarzeneger  *gak
ada matinya*. yah gitu deh. film action yg kayaknya masih bakal
ada terusannya lagi. liat aja review-nya: Arnold Schwarzenegger
returns in this third installment of the popular sci-fi action
saga as a cyborg from the future once again becoming involved
in the affairs of twentysomething John Connor and his first
battles with the SkyNet machine network. |
after
all these months, at last i visited monsieur medecin. comme
d'habitude i got some
movies to borrow.
one of them is pavilion
of women. i watched it last weekend. dari bukunya
pearl
s. buck. i used to love reading pearl
s. buck's books because most of the story about some
west people in the east.
so interesting. but this movie was just ok *they should have
some better
looking
players*. about madame wu, a
wife
who looked for a second wife for her husband  .
then she had an
affair
with an american priest. |

hungarian
is the second
hardest
language in the world .
some words above don't
spell correctly because
i have limited
letters
on my keyboard . but even
if i have all the letters, your computer
won't support it
anyway .
unlike
the other languages in eastern
european countries
which is based from slavs
or latin,
hungarian hardly have any connection with other languages, but some
people said it is about the same language family with finnish
and turkish.

Archie
Jones attempted suicide because his wife, Ophelia, a violet-eyed Italian
with a faint mustache, had recently divorced him. But he had not spent
New Year's morning gagging on the tube of vacuum cleaner because he
loved her. It was rather because he had lived with her for so long
and had not loved her. Archie's marriage felt like buying a
pair of shoes, taking them home, and finding they don't fit. For the
sake of appearances, he put up with them. And then, all of a sudden
and after thirty years, the shoes picked themselves up and walked
out of the house. She left. Thirty years.
