"Rachel Getting Married"

Watched "Rachel Getting Married".
it was unique, like watching a home made video about one family.

I think the camera was hand-held.
The conflict was also very real,
The characters bonded well to one another,
it felt real. it really was.

Anne Hatheway played Kim, the girl who just got out of the rehab,
whose sister, Rachel, is getting married. She struggled to keep up with the pace of life she had been left for 9 months in rehab.

Slumdog Millionaire

Hee, i just watched Slumdog Millionaire..
A bit too late, but this Oscar-winning movie was worth my time..

First things that caught my attention was the attractive way of the camera view, it was unsual, yet interesting..
From wide angle that projected the overview of slum area on Mumbai, to the over-zoomed view of the police.. Nice..

Next was the fast-paced switch of time&space dimension..
One minute it was on the present, then the next frame told us about the past.
Interesting..

For the actors : The young Jamal was really cute, the mature one was charming. The other characters were well played..

The scoring was also unique, it fit well to the movie.
The mix of holly & bollywood music was suprisingly catchy. :-D

The movie was fascinating as Jamal went on to explain how he could answer each of the questions on the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Show.

But it's not the movie for those of you who like nice bubbly pictures.
This is really a movie about a slumdog and his tough life.
It's the movie that tell you that how life can teach you more than school does, often in the hardest way that possible.

The movie still got a little suspence near the end.
It still left the audience a room to think what's gonna happen next..

The one thing that made me giggle the most was the indian dance at the end of the movie..
Ahahaha..
It's still an indian movie after all..
No matter what the movie's about, just dance..:-D

To summarize it up, it's a great unique movie.
It deserves the Oscars..

I Just Realize This..

I just realized this..

Hmm..
I've had couple times being hurted & broken hearted..
I've got much example in my lifehood..
So, to be in that situation, i guess i can say, i'll managed to survive..

But i think i don't have much experience in having long-term relationship,
to love and be loved,
to give and not wanting something back,
to accept and respect each other perfectly..

I've only seen that on movies,
yeah, there's one-two relative of mine that had the fairy tale life,
but i'm not really close to them, unfortunately..

I'm really looking forward to learn how to do all that correctly..

Anyway, I was wondering,
when will i had those kind of experience?
Is my time coming soon?
Is it my turn now?

Oh Dear God,
i sure hope so..
Then i'll be the good example to those around me..
Amin..

Menyayangi dengan sempurna

"maaf"
entah berapa kali sudah terucap kata itu,
sayangnya seringkali terucap olehku.

Ego besarku membuatku seperti anak kecil di dekatmu,
ku seperti seorang murid yang menyayangi gurunya,
seperti pasien yang mengasihi dokternya,
seperti atlet yang mengagumi pelatihnya.

Maaf, ku sepertinya selalu menyakiti,
bahkan ketika kupikir ku disakiti,
ternyata ku menyakiti.

Tiap alasan yang kubuat sebagai dasar perbuatanku,
hanya membuatku seperti egois yang bodoh.
Tak ada alasan.
Ku memang egois yang bodoh.
Yang kerap kali menyakitimu.
Maaf.

Tapi hati besarmu memukau ku,
seperti lumpur hisap yang menelan semuanya,
lalu selalu siap menelan lagi,
ya, kau memukauku.

Mungkin saatnya kini kutanggalkan semua pertahananku,
kuyakinkan diri bahwa kau tak mungkin menyakiti.
Semoga belum terlambat.
Bersiaplah, ku akan mencoba menyayangimu dengan sempurna.


Oh ya,
tahukah kamu,
kemuliaanmu membuat ku berpikir;
Berapa ku berhutang pada Tuhan karena membawaku padamu?
Apa yang telah kulakukan hingga aku bertemu denganmu?
Apa yang harus kulakukan agar selalu denganmu?

Sungguh ku teramat bersyukur memilikimu.
Terima kasih Tuhan,
Terima kasih ya, kamu.

:)

(bukan) Narsis

eh2 masa2,
tadi gw ngliat cermin,
lalu berpikiran;
"eh, gw tuh cantik ya.."

he..
Bukan narsis, tp membangun kpercayaan diri boleh toh..

Lagian, kalo diri kita sendiri ga menganggap kita cantik,
bagaimana bisa orang lain menganggap kita cantik..

Btul tidak? ;)

Serakah

Dari email.. :

Suatu ketika seorang manusia diberi kesempatan untuk berkomunikasi dengan Tuhannya dan berkata, "Tuhan ijinkan saya untuk dapat melihat seperti apakah Neraka dan Surga itu".

Kemudian Tuhan membimbing manusia itu menuju ke dua buah pintu dan kemudian membiarkannya melihat ke dalam.

Di tengah ruangan terdapat sebuah meja bundar yang sangat besar, dan di tengahnya terdapat semangkok sup yang beraroma sangat lezat yang membuat manusia tersebut mengalir air liurnya. Meja tersebut dikelilingi orang-orang yang kurus yang tampak sangat kelaparan.

Orang-orang itu masing-masing memegang sebuah sendok yang terikat pada tangan masing-masing. Sendok tersebut cukup panjang untuk mencapai mangkok di tengah meja dan mengambil sup yang lezat tadi.

Tapi karena sendoknya terlalu panjang, mereka tidak dapat mencapai mulutnya dengan sendok tadi untuk memakan sup yang terambil.

Si Manusia tadi merinding melihat penderitaan dan kesengsaraan yang dilihatnya dalam ruangan itu.

Tuhan berkata, "Kamu sudah melihat NERAKA"

Lalu mereka menuju ke pintu kedua yang ternyata berisi meja beserta sup dan orang-orang yang kondisinya persis sama dengan ruangan di pintu pertama. Perbedaannya, di dalam ruangan ini orang-orang tersebut berbadan sehat dan berisi dan mereka sangat bergembira di keliling meja tersebut.

Melihat keadaan ini si Manusia menjadi bingung dan berkata "Apa yang terjadi ? kenapa di ruangan yang kondisinya sama ini mereka terlihat lebih bergembira ?"

Tuhan kemudian menjelaskan, "Sangat sederhana, yang dibutuhkan hanyalah satu sifat baik"

"Perhatikan bahwa orang-orang ini dengan ikhlas menyuapi orang lain yang dapat dicapainya dengan sendok bergagang panjang, sedangkan di ruangan lain orang-orang yang serakah hanyalah memikirkan kebutuhan dirinya sendiri "

Broken Strings

You can't play on broken strings
You can't feel anything that your heart don't want to feel
I can't tell you something that ain't real

Oh the truth hurts
A lie's worse
How can I give anymore
When I love you a little less than before

-James Morrison feat. Nelly Furtado, Broken Strings

Don't you see?

One thing that keep me from being independent is your money..

Don't you see?

Oops..

Yaiks..

Lo salah strategi dis,
nobody likes clingy people..


But..
Could you give me a break?
I'm human too, for crying out loud.
A bored one for sure.


All i need is a friend,
i'm lonely here.


...

Would you settle for an "ok"?

okay, let's say...
you've been searching for a specific rock.
you're looking for the one that's perfect in your eyes,
the one that has a perfect shape, size, color..



you patiently searching, looking for this rock.
you look at other rock-searcher.
some of them seem already found their rock.
some of them still trying like you do.
keep searching, and searching..



sometimes you get tired,
sometimes you want to gave up,
yet you managed to move on.



at some point,
when you've been searching for long,
you find a rock,
that's not as perfect as you've pictured,
not exactly you're looking for,
but it's kinda close..





it's not the perfect one.
it's the "ok" one..




then,
would you settle for that one?




or would you throw that away,
and search for the perfect one,
the one you've been looking for,
but haven't found it yet.


will you ever, at some point,
gave up your wish to get the perfect rock,
thinking that'll never be a perfect one for you.

if so, when will you gave up?


if not, well..
how much longer will you managed to stay searching?


what if there is no such thing as a perfect rock?
what if everybody turns out to be settling for the "ok" one?

.
.
.

my mind now tell me not to settle for the "ok" one,
that maybe it's somebody else's perfect rock.

but what if someone already took MY perfect rock?
is it possible?
what if someone's settling with my perfect rock?
then what do i do?


hah.
this rock-searching is confusing.

*sapa suruh nyariin batu, hehe :P

Ngayal

"Since when you've became so mature & calm?

- Since i met you..

- And you? Since when you've became childly and fun?

Since i met you.."



...then we both smile...



:)


*hush, ngayal aja.. :p

..boleh salah, tapi ga boleh bohong..

Gw sangat terkesan sama ucapan dosen MSI,
Bapak dr. Iik Wilarso pada kuliah Jumat, 27 Feb lalu..

"Seorang scientist itu boleh salah, tapi ga boleh bohong.."

whew..
I couldn't agree more Sir!

Beliau saat itu sedang membahas masalah penyantuman referensi dalam karya2 ilmiah.

Beliau kurang lebih menyatakan,
sebetulnya tidak apa2 kalau meng"copy-paste",
(sedang membicarakan tugas2 yang sering kopas)
tapi ya tolong dicantumkan referensi nya..

karena kalau tidak, itu seperti bilang "ini ide gue",
padahal bukan..

Beliau juga bilang (kurang lebih) begini,
semua karya ilmiah itu pasti ada referensinya,
karena pasti mereka cari2, belajar dulu dari penelitian sebelumnya,
masa mau mulai dari nol lagi?
trus mengabaikan progress yang sudah dibuat peneliti sebelumnya, gitu?


wah. keren2.
totally make sense.



anyway..
lalu setelah mengatakan statement
"Seorang scientist itu boleh salah, tapi ga boleh bohong.." itu,
beliau bilang..

"...lain kalau politisi...."


.
.
.
ha.
.
.
.

and i suddenly lost my interest.. :)

Innovate!

Pas pertama gw liat produk ini, gw tertarik sama warnanya:
white with blue stripes, that's totally my style :D





terus gw pikir, wah, lucu juga nih,,
biasanya kan cutton bud warna tangkainya 1 warna aja,
putih aja, kuning, atau pink..
so this one's out of the box, i thought...

but this "Char Mi" people (thats the label of the bud) must've had a great corporate policy for innovation,
cause the color is not the only factor that made this product out of the box..

Notice the points of the buds?





yup! they're spiral!
ha!!

In case you didn't notice the points,
they've put a sign on the wrapper



It said "Teknologi Spiral (R)"
(mm.. the "registered" symbol actually appear after the "Teknologi" word, so i don't quite sure what's "registered" ) :D

They also put this sentence :
"Paper Stick Spiral pertama dan satu-satunya di Indonesia"


and i thought..
wow..

the competition must be tough on the cutton bud market :D
this people must used 2 out of the box idea into one product..


but there's one thing hanging on my mind....
.
.
.
dapet ide darimana ya bikin ujungnya spiral?

apa karena kalau orang pake cutton bud suka di puter2 gitu yah,
jadi dibikin spiral aja sekalian.. :D

Emang jadi nyaman ya kalau spiral?
gw sendiri blm nyoba sih...
we'll see..

tapi yang jelas,
this is one out of the box product...

Congrats Char Mi Cutton Bud!

:D :D :D
