1. the first flying part with ikron was too long, boring
2. if it's set in a modern world, the future.. can't they make an unbreakable glass that cannot be easily broken when a "rhino" hit it? It's a futuristic-tale world where they can make up just anything, right? It seems funny to me that their robots can easily get hit and broken after smashing with a "rhino" (I didn't know what they called it, btw).
In the end, the only message I got was: don't mess up with NATURE. Well, I guess that's the core message Mr. Cameron trying to tell us. Wasn't it?
Btw, I got curious, when Jake the avatar opened his eyes at the end, what did it mean? Did Mr. Cameron plan to make a sequel? Wonder what would it be. But my crazy idea is: he wakes up amnesia! He will not understand why he is blue, and he will fight to get back to his normal human form .. and even will become enemy of his own recent people and girl. That would be COOL!

Merry Christmas, everyone!
Ev. Agus Marjanto said that Christmas is nomore about joy only. It's now more about battle. Spiritual battle. I guess what he meant was that people now beginning to lose the original meaning of Christmas. Christmas is the birth of Jesus Christ who came to give eternal life for people. How many of us, Christian, who have spreaded the news and won back some souls to receive the eternal life JESUS has came to give for?
Have you ever even mentioned it to a single soul?
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Dao Ming Shi & Edward Cullen
I can't believe I am so into names who did not even exist in a real world. Dao Ming Shi was a name that got me nearly losing my mind back in 2003-2006. And Edward Cullen, well blame it on a friend of mine who introduced me to him. Her 4 thick-as-matress novel series were finished in not more than 5 days... I was even surprise to my own reading speed, actually :P
So who is Dao Ming Shi? Who is Edward Cullen? What is it about them that had made me helplessly and shamefully grown, no, shrink into an obvious teen-state again?
Both are creatures that were described as PERFECT. Ok, perfect can be very subjective, I know... but there are general qualities of the two that none can ever object. Hmm.. let see if I can put it rigth... Both are described as handsome, tall and rich. Would anyone disagree that those 3 qualities are the most basic criteria a guy should have? I dare to say, none raise a hand :)
Apart from the perfect physical figures, there was another one they shared in common. Both were falling in love with a girl (different girl) that was not supposed to be matched, not even supposed to be loved. And they way they love their girl was ... beyond real.
Dao Ming Shi threw away his thorne over a multi billion family business, fought with his own mother who threathen to delete his name from their family list, suffered so much just to be with San Cai. He thought that he'd better die if he cannot be with her.
Edward Cullen's story was even more tragic. Loving Bella meant putting her in a great danger, even a greater danger to himself too. Because in order to be with her, a girl he loved with his whole existance, he had to killed her.
There's something in the way they loved their girl that cought me tightly, and left me awed. Who doesn't want to be loved the way Dao Ming Shi loved San Cai? And who in the world doesn't want to be loved the way Edward loved Bella?
I guess that was it. A feeling of being loved so unconditionally, so unselfishly, so recklessly, so gently, so .... gosh, my vocab is very poor.. so insanely romantic ... that blew almost every woman's heart in the world, that includes me yes.. that we wish to be San Cai or Bella.
note:
when I was about to upload this, I went to look for Dao Ming Shi's picture, and I got this:
It's pretty hillarious that they even compare the hair

Love's Encouragement
This is my fave from MusicMan Concert. Great piano, great voice, great song, great performance. But I guess Leehom didn't notice that his English is deteriorating, haha! Listen the way he pronounce "away" .. But it doesn't bother me.. he can sing with any languange he wants... his music will still be my everything.
Everytime I feel down.. all I have to do is watching him singing this song. He simply put back a smile to my face over and over and over ....
Ai De Gu Li (Love's Encouragement)

Music Man Concert, Taipei Sep 2008
From there I went to some CD stores, looking for old albums of Leehom. None. How come, none?! I dont get it. It's Taiwan. A place where all Leehom related should be found. At first, I just went straight to CDs. I found many Leehom's CD albums.. but I already have them. I was looking for old CD albums to complete my collection. It's not easy to make the store staff understand what I was looking for. Lucky me. I have just got a brand new Sony Erricson W9800, and Leehom's albums were stored there with pictures, even with the original language. So, I just showed them and made them busy searching their data, even calling their storage staff. I think they can see it clearly from my face that I was coming from far away and had to go back with Leehom's album no matter what. After 3 useless stores, I landed on a small CD store near Taipei University.
The girl at the store knew little english and to my surprise she's a fan of Leehom too. She told me that she has bought the ticket for day 2 concert. I showed her my ticket and she got really jealous, coz mine was VIP, 11th row from the stage. Hers was a tribune. I showed them my Leehoms song collection at my W9800. Again she was jealous, coz some of songs... she didn't have. So we exchange emails, I promise her to send the MP3 of the songs she didn't have. Then, she gave me Leehoms' new single CD "What's Wrong With Me" along with the pretty yellow notebook with 3D pictures of Leehom attached to it... for free! I dont know how she did it, but the single CD was supposed to be a gimmick for anyone who pre-order the coming-soon album at the store. I got mine for free. Thank you to you nice girl... *sorry forgot the name*.. thank you Leehom :)
My heartbeat went faster when the light started to dim. I will see Leehom perform live with my own eyes again in such a closer distant. Got my digital camera ready and there ... Leehom was making entrance riding his sort of "a space ship" from above. I didn't quite awed with that. I thought the opening of Heroes of Earth concert was a lot grand than this. But he jammed, started to rock the Arena down.. and in an instant I forgot anything else. I felt like a teenage, jumping from my seat, clapping so hard and smiling so big that I felt so silly about myself.
Costumes were beautiful. It matches the theme very well. I'm glad that Leehom worked with smart people behind the concert production. I love every outfits Leehom wore during the show, but the one I love the most was the silver pants and the white sleveless shirt with a tiny black tie. I love that silver pants with detail on below, he looked damn good in that one, specially when he did the solo dance. ok. ok. I admit, Leehom is not a great dancer.. well he's a musician for God sake, musician was not suppose to dance ... I think Leehoms started wearing special outfits for concert on his Heroes of Eart concert. Before that, he was just wearing t-shirt and jeans, one t-shirt for the whole show. Wonder how he can stand the wet .. :) If anyone wants a bad sample of concert outfits.. well, take a look at F4's few years ago. No offense to F4 fans, coz I was a fan too back then.
The only thing that bothered me were the dancers. I didn't know what happened, but I dont think dancing went well with rock music. Dancing were very good for his Heroes of Earth Concert, but not for Music Man concert. Those sexy dancers with bra were really not necessary. Good thing those were not included in the DVD. But later, after watching the DVD concert, the dancers and the dancing part were not as bad as before. But still, it's not my favorite.
If you are really a fan of Leehom, you should go and see at least one of his live performance. You should.

Menurut temen gue yang kerja di RS dan menurut dokter yg meriksa gue, hasilnya tidak terlalu parah. Diet sedikit pasti bisa normal. Benarkah? Trus apa khabarnya sakit kepala gue yang sudah hampir berminggu2 menyerang? Menurut dokter tadi, ada virus tipes dan itu yang harus diobati. Once virus mati, Ibu pasti lebih nyaman, katanya. Padahal menurut hasil lab gue, semua yg WIDAL hasilnya negative. Tapi sebagai orang awam.. gue nurut aja deh. Hopefully within 1 week, gue bisa merasa lebih enakan, paling tidak sakit kepala hilang. But is it as simple as that? What is it with me that I think my problem is actually a lot bigger than virus tipes? To be honest, gue sampai kepikiran mau ke ahli psikomatic alias psikiater.. hihi. Kalau di urut2, sakit kepala ini sudah menghiasi status FB gue sejak berminggu2 lalu. Data itu pasti akurat, dijamin. Nah... sekarang mari kita telusui ada apa denganku selama beberapa minggu ini.
WORK
Abselutely! this has consumed more than 80% of my time. Kadang gue bertanya2 sendiri apa gue yang terlalu bloon atau memang pekerjaan yang terlalu banyak? Tapi sekarang gini deh. Rumah gue jauh, sampai rumah pasti di atas jam 9. Habis mandi chit chat sebentar sama anak2 (kalo mereka masih bangun) dan setelah itu.. harus buka laptop. Email yang masuk di inbox-ku sehari rata-rata diatas 150 jumlahnya, semua harus dibaca dan direspond. Kalau seharian meeting terus, kebayang dong, berapa email yang harus dibaca dan direspon malam itu? Pekerjaan consumer menuntut respon yang cepat, sehari gak di respon, pasti udah basi. So.. boleh cek deh, banyak email yang gue kirim di jam2 ajaib seperti 1.40AM, 2.10AM dst dst. Pernah juga sih males buka laptop, tapi trus di sms vendor printing jam 11.30PM: "Bu, approval design ditunggu malem ini, kalo gak di approve, saya gak bisa print dan besok gak bisa selesai". Nah lo! gak mungkin kan gue gak buka karena cetakan mau dipakai besok. Itu baru email. Belum kalau ada event, gue harus nungguin loading sampai tengah malam. Pernah di satu IT exhibition, gue harus nongkrongin EO smp jam 3pagi, dan besoknya harus standby jam 8am di tempat yg sama! Belum lagi soal meeting2 yang super banyak itu. Belum deadline2 iklan dan juga ditambah concall dengan regional... Hadoh!! curhat gak kelar seminggu deh...
FAMILY
Belakangan aku dan suami sering selisih pendapat soal anak. Aku maklum, kita berdua kan orang-tua kaget. Tapi bisa jadi, ini adalah salah satu hal yang membuat kepala gue jadi tambah cenut-cenut. Biasanya sih aku ngalah aja. I trust him to decide what's best for us. Paling tidak, dengan memberikan tanggung jawab itu padanya akan membuat dia .. mikir dengan sungguh apa yg terbaik untuk anak istrinya. Tapi kadang bete juga sih. Masak soal AC aja bisa bikin kita ribut. Apa orang tua yang lain juga begitu ya? halooo para orang tua?? Jadi pengen tau, kalian kalo ribut soal anak, biasanya urusan apa sih?
JOB TRANSITION
Terus terang, this is the hardest part to explain. Some parts are confidential, but those are really fun to share. cap cip cup kembang kuncup deh! I prefer not. Tapi kurasa ini adalah salah satu penyebab paling hebat dalam beberapa minggu terakhir ini yang membuat gue susah tidur nyenyak. So, yang mau gue curhatin offline.. silakan daftar. hihiihi..
EXERCISE
Never! dokter pertama yang gue datangi bilang gini: obatnya gampang Bu. Olah raga. Anak gue yang nemenin gue masuk ruang dokter ketawa cekikikan.. ntar sore badminton sama aku ya Mi.. katanya. Gue gak pernah olah raga. let me say it again.. gue gak pernah olah raga. Paling banter juga jalan dari busway ke tempat mikrolet mangkal.. hihihi... Yang kenal both gue and Erryck selalu bilang: aneh juga. padahal Erryck kan maniac olah raga.
JUNK FOOD
Sebulan gak lebih dari 2x deh makanan junk masuk tubuh gue. I bring my own lunch, walau kadang gak kemakan karena harus lunch meeting. Tapi menu lunch meeting gak junk kok. Mulai dari nasi padang, bakmi gm, ayam taliwang sampai penang bistro. Itu bukan junk kan?
PRE-MENOPOUSE SYNDROM
Beberapa tahun yang lalu aku sempat konsultasi hormon karena beberapa indikasi mengarah ke problem hormon. Hot flash, susah tidur, susah konsentrasi, sakit kepala, jerawat, temperature drop sekitar 10 days sebelum period datang.
Kesimpulannya? Sampai sekarang gue masih belum punya kesimpulan kenapa kepala gue masih sakit. Even sudah 2x pagi ini, kalau bangun sakit kepala terus. Aneh. Should I go and look for 3rd doctor's opinion? Ato citi-scan spt yg disarankan teman gue.. kali aja ada kanker.. hiiiiiiiii *touch wood* amit-amit
Looking back to my younger days... gue gak pernah dulu merasa se-exhausted sekarang. Dulu bolak-balik kampus, mejeng di Sarinah, naik bis kemana2, disco, dsb dsb.. gak pernah loyo. Sekarang kok rasanya sebentar2 rempek (eh, istilah gue tuh untuk rontok dan sumpek). Emang umur gak bisa bohong. Your problems are getting bigger and many, your soul may be able to take it, as some say "grow older and wiser" but your body is not getting along very well with all of those.
So, nikmati saja lah masa-masa menjelang 40.

Being A Mom
Tadi sore baca artikel Pangeran William yang kangen sama Mummy-nya. Even untuk nyebut kata "Mummy" aja sudah membuat perih hatinya. Gue jadi inget, bertahun-tahun lalu juga ada hal yang selalu membuat gue sedih bahkan sampai nangis bombay, tiap bulan. Yaitu, saat datang bulan. There it's gone again.. another opportunity of me being a Mom.
Gue memang sudah mendambakan menjadi seorang Mom sejak 13 tahun yang lalu. Rasanya semua cara "dari yang masuk akan sampai yang tidak" sudah gue coba, tapi belum pernah berhasil hamil. Setiap ditanya orang: udah berobat? Jawaban gue gak berubah dari tahun ke tahun: sudah sampai bangkrut. Ada temen gue yang gak puas dengan jawaban itu, dia nambahin: "tapi.. bikin kan?" Hah .. maksud lo??? ;p
Kalau ada yang bilang: sabar deh, Tuhan belum melihat elo siap kali.. Gue dengan sengitnya menjawab: gue udah siap. suami gw udah siap. Gue lebih jago mandiin bayi ketimbang adik gue yang punya bayi.
But, being a mom apakah semudah memandikan bayi? Well, jangan protes yah, krn menurut gue mandiiin bayi itu gampang banget. Tapi, kalau bayi sudah mandi, then is it finish? Does your life will also smell as good as the baby ? Not at all, my friends.
I am a Mom, now. A Mom for a turning-15 years old handsome Son and for a sweet-10 years old Daughter. And the exciting journey of being a Mom has just began...
Misalnya, si Kakak yang pulang sekolah from his 2nd day of school dikuntit temen cewek sampai rumah dan si Dedek yang nangis di kelas Sekolah Minggu hanya gara2 gak bisa hafalin ayat di depan kelas? Atau gue yang justru gak punya banyak waktu untuk bersama mereka karena tiap hari sampai rumah diatas jam 9. Bukan saja karena macet, tapi karena kerjaan kantor gak ada habis2-nya
Lanjutin besok lagi deh..

Keep It Simple
"hidup udah susah, jangan tambah dibikin susah".
Gue adalah orang yang "males ribet", so kalimat temen gue itu tadi.. ya gue banget. Tapi seringnya sih kata "males ribet" yang valid cuma kata depannya aja... haha!
Gue sering jadi ribut sama suami gara2 urusan "ribet" ini, terutama dalam hal duit. Dia maunya semua ter-plan dan tercatat rapi, to the smallest penny. Sementara gue, seribu dua ribu mah gak pernah gue inget-inget, apalagi gue catet. Males.
Lunch box gue, walaupun gue punya lunch container yang katanya bisa keep warm s/d 6 jam, tetep aja gue bawa yang cuma 1 kotak doang, gue selipin di ransel laptop gue. Selain berat tuh container, nentengnya juga susah. Gue kan naik busway, masak kanan slempang sling bag, kiri slempang lunch container. Untung gak bawa termos minum kayak anak TK. Bahkan, biasanya gue cuma minta dibungkusin pakai disposable plastik box lengkap dengan sendok plastiknya. Habis makan langsung buang, gak perlu bawa pulang ke rumah, gak perlu slempang sana slempang sini. Ribet. Tapi gara-gara album Leehom, gue jadi rada "melek lingkungan", tidak pakai disposable plastik box lagi. So abis makan, lunch box gue tutup lagi tanpa dicuci dulu. Males. Hehe..

Jadi, gue gak pernah tuh kepingin punya mesin coffee maker, lah wong favorite gue indocafe mix. Tinggal sobek, tuang air panas... srupuuutt... wuenaaak tenan. Apalagi, teknologi jaman sekarang sangat mendukung.. semua bisa serba instant, termasuk untuk jadi kaya dan terkenal.
Urusan simple ini ternyata juga termasuk selera. Buktinya, pilihan template blog gue teramat sangat simple. Warna dasar hitam dengan beberapa outline warna... menurut gue sih keren, hehe.
Dan... soal memilih lelaki pujaan hati pun gue sangat simple. Asal ganteng, bertanggung-jawab, dan setia. As simple as that! Gampang kan? Haha! And, I have found him ...
I Welcome Me
Not that I am a victim of trends, or feel a bit in a competitive pressure because most of my friends have blogs.. I just want to have a place to share my Moments Alone.
So, whether I will update this blog or not, I still want to congratulate myself for having one.
