Slogtember 27 - Contradiction

How many times have you contradict yourself?

For me personally, in my 18 years 6 months of existence, the answer would be a lot, a lot of times. I might do it right now as I’m writing this. It’s not that I already have a fixed ideals and principles about life. My view is still changing constantly almost everyday of my life. One day I would say that I would not sleep to late at night but the other day I would say just live in the moment and screw that. How about you? Maybe, never?

Is it wrong to contradict yourself?

Well, I really don’t know. People do it, we all do it. If you say you have never ever contradict yourself in any matter in you life, I can say that you’re lying. I might be right as well about that. Just think about how many promises you have made to your parents? How many of them you did not break? Or maybe the promises you made to your ex(es). Nah, I won’t start on that.

Some people might say because everyone does it then it’s okay to do it. It’s a common practice, a public secret. What the hell is that anyway? Is it true when people do it almost every time then it becomes the right thing to do? No. Just because so many people kill each other nowadays doesn’t make the act of killing other human being a right thing to do. It still is wrong. But is this wrong? Coming back to my first sentence, I don’t know because I do it too sometimes.

Why do we do it?

We? Okay. If you think you have never contradict yourself or your own promises, principles or sayings, with all due respect, please go away and don’t read this.

Oh reasons, fun. We could go on forever listing all the reasons we can come up with. Probably, because we want to know what happen on the other side? Curiosity. We want to know what would happen. We want to answer all what ifs that come up every night before we go to sleep. Maybe it’s because we want to change the principles in the first place and change the way you live (despite being good or bad, that’s not my concern anyway). In the end, curiosity kills the cat. Well, you’re not a cat so nyan that. Sure…

Maybe it’s because you want to comfort yourself or maybe you want to comfort other people. You don’t want to hurt them so you lie to yourself. Or you don't want to hurt yourself so you lie to people. Who wins?

Maybe… Well there will be a lot of maybes that I can’t write one by one but I’m sure people have their own reasons to justify whatever it is they decide to do.

So?

Everything depends on you and whatever you decide. Whatever your ideal is. It’s your decision; it’s your life. It’s not wrong but no one has ever said it is right. I’m still figuring things out. Isn’t that the reason why we live?

Slogtember 19 - Steal, Nostalgia, Weekend

Jadi Uwi lagi ngidam pancakes hari Sabtu kemaren. Akhirnya hari ini gue, Uwi dan Marsha berusaha untuk makan di Strictly Pancakes daerah Dhoby Ghaut. Tapi sayangnyaaa, restorannya tutup. Karena sangat kurang beruntung, akhirnya kita ganti haluan ke Baja Fresh, restoran Mexico yang nampilin jam Los Angeles, jualan bir dari Jerman, dan pelayannya rata-rata orang India. Sangat multikultural. Selama beberapa jam makan, kita ditemani oleh lagu dari si seksi Enrique Iglesias ;) dan pas banget yang keputer lagu-lagu nostalgia kelas 8 :3 seperti ini:

Dimelo 

Alguien Soy Yo

Hohoho. Dan kita pun mampir juga ke Cathay yang toiletnya sangat jauh berliku dan nyeremin. Membekas abis di hati gue. Kita juga ke Gramophone karena Marsha mau liat-liat vinyl (alternatif gitu ya ngga sha hahaha). Karena vinylnya mahal akhirnya Marsha beli DVDnya Like Crazy dan Uwi beli DVD Paprika (alternatif juga ya wi wkwk) yang membuahkan percakapan seperti...

M: "Kok Paprika?"
U: "Iya, nama ceweknya Paprika kalo ga salah"
S: "Aneh-aneh aja. Bayangin lo punya anak namanya Ketumbar"
U: "Atau kalo enggak, Jahe"
M: "Yang bumbu khas indo dong, apa kek. Kunyit gitu."

Selain itu gue juga nemu CD yang lagi di sale murah-murah kebangetan seperti ini yang gue beli akhirnya pun... (struktur kalimat hancur)

Dan juga menemukan CD Kotak yang mana adalah band asal Indonesia Raya Merdeka Merdeka. Tapi harganya kejam banget ya parah... Jujur tadi waktu liat mau nggak mau kita bertiga ketawa ngakak tapi kasihan juga.... Btw, udah di cek 50 cent = Rp 3.893,88 (www.xe.com)

Oh and another thing, gue hampir ketabrak.

Sekian.

Byeeee~

Slogtember 8 - A Weekend

With mi familia!

In the afternoon, me and my dad went to the church and watched a monologue or one woman production about Saint Therese of Lisieux, starring Eva Hernandez, The Story of a Soul. The producer and the actress and the monologue itself were beyond words amazing! Moreover, both the producer and the actress have amazing amazing voice! And I just realized that I had the story book of St. Therese when I was a kid :)

And after that, me, mom and dad went to the city and went around. I went to Kinokuniya and I was dying there since I wanted to buy sooo many books! But then I'm saving for so many things as well it was such a dilemma I had right there........

Since this is a nice weekend. Ngee Ann City had this Barongsai Championship in front of the building and we ended up watching it to kill time until it was dinner time. I really wanted to take picture but my phone battery was low as hell so sorry guyss no pictures :(

Theeen, we had dinner at Garuda Restaurant and after a long long time not eating Padang-Indonesian cuisine I got the chance to eat that agaain! :D I had rendang, gulai kikil, perkedel, daun singkong, and teri kacang and it was deliciouuusss. Also, if you are wondering why I eat a lot of stuffs (I eat variety of foods but the portion was not huge, you know what I mean), it is because my mom and dad have said thousands of time that I'm getting bones and more bones ughhhh i did not :| but whatevs hahahah.

Here's the ticket for the monologue:

Hope you guys have a beautiful weekend as well with people you love! :D

Slogtember 3 - Slumber Away

My mom was such an angel she let me slept over Meita's place last Sunday. We got together for one night to make it easier for Thasya to talk to all of us at one time :D we miss youu!

The unflattering screen print of everyone...

Woof you guys! xx

This is yours :)

I was watching this movie this afternoon with Tale and Thasya. And the movie is so good. You should watch it!

Countdown: 4 days to the Big Night Out Concert. I hope there will be a lot of fun!

Fail Skype with my uncle, brother and mom. I hope my brother will go to NUS or NTU.

I called my friend last night for one and a half hour or two which was so great. I had a lot of fun, I had a lot of laugh. We should do it often. Haha.

5 months and I'll be back home.
