or maybe i should get a tumblr
I have this secret dream that someday people will stop rating. Stop rating our knowledge based on grades. Stop rating our capability at work based on salary. Stop rating good music based on popularity. Stop rating happiness in life based on financial level. Stop rating beauty based on weight loss.
I have a dream that someday people will just enjoy their lives and not afraid of the rates people gave. On top of that, I have a dream that people will be responsible and stay mum about what other people like.

ohyea how i wish. this is singapore, lady.
i think they’re not kidding when they say not worrying will make you live longer
Every month he has to take a day of non-paid leave. Yesterday he said he can’t get this Friday so he applied for today. And today I’m also ‘on-leave’ 
We didn’t do anything, just chat, lunch, I took a nice nap on his air-conned room while he was reading manga, another long chat, laugh together, and not worrying a single thing about our daily life. And the last one feels so good. Really.
But yes it has to end. And start worrying for many things to come. Me with a test, a presentation, and many tasks ahead. Him with a meeting, projects, and many sites he has to go to.
interesting stuffs lately
There’s this book titled “The Languages of the World” by Kenneth Katzner which I borrowed from HSS library. The book is trying to introduce the readers to the families of languages and its expansion. It also provides a passage in every language (several hundreds of them). One of them is this which toz is really crazy about:
Dumadakan aja angin ribut katjida di laut, nepi ka ombak-ombak ngarungkup kana parahuo. Tidinja murid-murid njalampeurkeun, seug Andjeunna digugahkeun, bari undjukan: Aduh Gusti, mugi tulungan, abdi tiwas! Dawuhana Na ka maranèhna: Naha maranèh sarieum, èh nu leutik kapertjajaan? Geus kitu tuluj gugah, sarta njeuseul ka èta angin djeung kana laut, djep djèmpe-rèhè pisan Ari èta djelema pada hèraneun, sarta ngaromong kieu: Na ieu tèh djelema naon, nepi ka angin djeung laut gè narurut ka Andjeunna!
It was Sundanese, and it was a verse from the Bible. Anybody can guess? Or at least guess the story?

Harder ones: anybody know how to read this? 
*this one not from the Bible*
labreport
Tadi gue ngumpulin lab report gue untuk semester ini. Pas uda keluar dari labnya, gue baru menyadari satu hal. Report yang ini gue bikin bener-bener sendiri gara-gara nggak ada senior yang punya contohnya. Kayaknya dari dulu nggak pernah deh bikin report tanpa contoh satupun. Report yang ini cuma 12 halaman…tapi at least gue bikin sendiri (meskipun cuma copy paste program yang dikerjain di lab). Nggak penting sih, cuma rasanya seneng aja…hehe
stomp (telat seminggu)
Iya nih gue nggak sempet-sempet mau nulis tentang waktu itu nonton stomp. It was a great experience, really.
Jujur gue pertama tau stomp gara-gara minjem flashdisk temen gue terus di dalemnya ada video stomp sampe sejam (yang ternyata juga dia colong dari orang lain). Video quality-nya nggak bgitu bagus, tapi it was enough to fascinate me, secara gue main perkusi juga at that time.
Years later, gue nemu DVD dari video itu di HMV dan lagi diskon, so I just bought it without a doubt. Dan nggak lama kemudian, ada kabar mereka mau dateng ke singapura! 
*kalo ada saat-saat dimana gue bahagia di singapura, pasti ini alesannya: coz they bring a lot of good musicians and performers. tapi ya sekali lagi, kalo ada.*
Singkatnya, gue langsung nanya pacar dia mau ikut nonton ato nggak (thank God dia mau ^^) trus pesen tiket deh. Beli yang paling murah soalnya kan dia nggak terlalu exposed sama stomp juga.

The show was started with the standard broom performance, continued with the more advance one, and poles. There are also the trash cans and body percussion, using hand claps to chest, belly and thigh, and not to forget shoe taps. Love love love when they perform the poles in pairs when they knock their poles to each other. Nice coreo also 
The other “instruments” were not so familiar to me, such as matches, sinks, lighters, rubber pipes with different length, newspapers, water gallons, and even rubber boat. I would say that lighter is one of the best, cause they darkened the stage completely. The ‘click’ sounds from the lighters matched beautifully with the light coming out. The rubber boat was quite hilarious to me, coz they were just soooo big and bouncy
Comparing to the video I got, this performance is much much much funnier. They even had one or two jokers in the team who keep coming to the stage doing hilarious things to make the audiences laugh. I’m sure my boyfriend had a great time laughing out loud to these jokers
And I’m glad they brought that funny side into their show. For me it makes the newbies (to stomp) feel more comfortable and enjoy their performance. And their play is still as awesome as always.

After the show, I saw children banging their drumsticks into anything all around esplanade
When you said to your boyfriend “There’s this Halloween make-up tutorial in YouTube,” and one thing that came into his mind was a tutorial session to replace another session cancelled due to Halloween holiday (which never exist), you know NTU has done something major to his mind.
I still believe it was not so major, I hope.
Yesterday was a bad day.
But at least, the hall office tested the air-con in my room for two hours. Enough time to watch some series and cry until I fell asleep. And it feels so good to curl in your bed without having to roll every short time because you feel like sweating.
I think I messed up my life bit by bit.
I even had a little fight with him yesterday. But fortunately a long long talk and ferrero rochers are just enough to finish last night nicely. Thank God for chocolates!
it was not a perfect day
Hari ini dimulai jam 7.10am, snooze alarm 2kali, mandi, trus multitasking ganti baju+makeup+siap2in tas+buka laptop kepo2 buat persiapan interview.
8.30am mulai project (session terakhir jadi ada assessment). Harus leave early due to interview jadi assessmentnya juga mesti early. Case study nggak selesai -.-”. Hhh yaudah deh 1 AU ini. Bukan report pula.
11.05am nyampe di tempat interview. Sempet rada bingung kok masuk2 adanya car park & lift barang..ckck. Yauda hajar aja naik liftnya untung bener. Nyampe di tempatnya bingung dimana mau interview secara isinya lab semua di kiri-kanan. Akhirnya sampe juga di ruangan yang bener terus mulai deh interviewnya.
Abis interview langsung pulang deh. Ganti baju terus nanti ada kuis lagi -.-”. Dingin banget lagi mengundang tidur.
2.55pm udah mesti pergi lagi buat kuis 3.30. Ga terlalu sempet belajar banyak sih abis interview itu…dan lupa bawa kotak pensil! (untung ketemu parmo…fiuhh) Bersyukur sih kuisnya lumayan manageable ^^.
.
It was not a perfect day, tapi tetep banyak yang bisa disyukuri. Masih bisa merasakan penyertaan Tuhan meskipun ga sempet doa sebelom interview (baru disuru nunggu di sofa tau2 uda dipanggil -.-”). Bersyukur buat bus C yang entah kenapa sangat friendly sama gw hari ini (cepet banget datengnya). Bersyukur buat kuis yang bisa dikerjain. Bersyukur untuk cuaca yang enak banget dan gue ga sampe keujanan seharian ini. Bersyukur untuk tiap perhatian dari pacar, mama & teman2
Bersyukur kalau kemanapun gue melihat, ada penyertaan Tuhan disitu.

Masi ada satu hari lagi. I know I will survive. I just know.
Dan sabtunya…stomp!!
I feel like I was being myself.
But I did not look nor sound smart.
Well maybe because I am not smart at the first place 
.
one more day to go on this hectic week. *tap on own shoulder*
I may not done everything well, but at least I survived.
something nice for the ears
They are just so unique I can’t stop listen to them <3
and their latest, I think:
they called themselves Pomplamoose
