July,26th 2001 ..... 3:34:45 PM
yipiieeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!! ,my first journal from Melbourne... it's nice here ...today is my 3rd day here, and a few hours ago was my first time out of my apartment, it wasn't as cold as i thought it'll be but it still COLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my PS update.... another give up, i gave up playing "Tales of Destiny" and now playing FF 8 ... it's kinda fun and i hope i don't quit this one
wow, tv in aussie sucks bigtime, only SIX channels .... damn , even Indonesia has SEVEN channels...... here, i watch almost nothing because the programmes are not as interesting as in Indoensia and some are really OLD .... even "Wonder Woman" is still on ..........that's just bad , oopss..... i mean just terrible ...........
basically my daily routine is just the same as in Indonesia, internet and playstation all day long
i miss all my jakarta friends .......... miss you guys much!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :þ
well, that's enough and goodbye now, peace n out

July,18th 2001 ..... 9:37:58 PM
nothing to talk about for today ... still doing my routine stuffs ..... Tales of Destiny ..... TV ...... Sleeping problem ....... Internet ...... phone calls ...... chatting ... and SUIKODEN msg board ......... that's about it ..... lame update huh??? hahahahahaha

July,17th 2001 ...... 1:12:15 PM
another brief note, today is my other friend's birthday ... so, Happy Birthday to Denny (a.k.a Q-dal) .... today ends the "Birthday saga"
I decided to quit playing Grandia, I just can't take it anymore .... after 59 lousy hours and being in the final dungeon , i lost interest to that game ..... shame on me for not finishing the game but shame on Gameart for making an annoying rpg game like that
So, now i play "Tales of Destiny" which is kinda strange too but way better than Grandia ... the only bad thing is maybe the fact that the characters look like a small person
Oh yeah , i forgot to say this yesterday ..... Good luck to everybody who is still going to school which started yesterday ....... enjoy the life of highschool years, it's the best time of your life , i guaran-damn-tee that for sure
That's it for today's journal ..... ---End Session---

just a brief note, today is my friend's birthday .... so ,Happy Birthday to Novel

July,15th 2001 ...... 10:23:16 PM
hip-hop hooray!!! today is my birthday!!!! simply 18 years old since i was born and damn, i still think like a 14 year old boy ....... LoL
today is one of the best day ever ..... a lot of my families and friends called me and said "happy birthday" .... my day started at 00:00:01 of course , and there were 3 irc friends of mine who said "happy b'day" and then i slept at 3 AM (yes, that damn 3 o'clock in the morning) .... i woke up at about 10 AM and one of my friend called me when i was still sleeping .... and then i went to my friend's house and after that, i went to KGM and met my TOEFL friends ... they gave me birthday presents which were a nice new wallet and a PADI cassette (i talked with them about buying it but they bought it for me ..... nice friends huh??) i went home at 6 PM and then lots of phone calls .... at 7:30 i went to KGM again to have dinner with my friends, and it was nice to chit-chat with them for about 40 minutes or so .........!!!! and that's about it for my day
today's quote of the day is inspired by a friend of mine, so here it is
"Your wish will come true if you hope for it"

July,14th 2001 ..... 5:30:19 PM
failed to wake up at 9 AM this morning, damn it ..... instead i woke up at 12:00 sharp .. i don't know why .....my alarm clock worked just fine and i didn't even remember if i turned it off ot not, strange!!!! could it be a ghost who turned it off??? :þ
i just finished cleaning my room and did a bit of pre-packing .... i couldn't put all the things yet because i still play my PS and use the cds and also a lot of clothes because i still have to WEAR them , right? ..... i've said my goodbyes to some of my BIG families .... and i'm very thankful for their support (physically and spiritually) and i hope they forgive me if i had any mistakes ...... :)
wooohooo , i shaved my goatee for the first time and man, it was HOT as hell .. i never thought that shaving can make me suffer this bad!!! :( ... and after that, i am NOT ready yet to shave my moustache ( i can't even imagine how bad i'll hurt my lips-area with the burning feeling ) .... it's just way to hot to handle ...... LoL
my PS update : almost finish Grandia and i consider that game as a game that i have to finish but never replay the game again .. why??? 'cause it's very ANNOYING to play rpg with such a LARGE AREA all the time , and i always hate a rotating camera feature , plus the voice-act was bad because it doesn't have a real intonation ( always speak in the same tune) ..... but this game also has the good side, e.g: i like the battle system (maybe 1 of the best battle system ever) and the story is also good (eventhough some parts are just totally ridiculous) ... i'll post my Grandia review right after i beat the game soon
i'm still waiting tomorrow, i'm going to turn 18 !!!!!!!

July,13th 2001 ...... 2:15:28 PM
Good things do happen .... today i'm in a good mood and i don't have any intention to make today as a "bad" day .... so , just be nice and enjoy!!!!
last night i was really glad that one of my best internet friends was online too ... she helped me a lot to go through this whole "yesterday" massacre ...... we had a long chat and yeah it was WORTH IT ....it teached me how to appreciate life even more and that was just sweet ... just want to say thanks again to you know who
from this morning , i started to try to wake up earlier so i don't have to sleep at 3AM or more anymore ..... i woke up at 8 yesterday and at 10 today .. i think that's an improvement, since i usually wake up at 12 ..... man , i never thought that sleeping can be a crucial problem for me
'nuff said for today's journal
Quote of the day : "Expect the best things but never wish to be the best"
simply put, you don't have to be the best because there is no such thing as "the best"

July,12th 2001 ..... 10:25:32 PM
i'm just totally pissed off for today and don't even bother asking why
btw, i'm going to go to Melbourne on 23rd of July 2001 ... and that is NOT why i'm pissed
good day to you all

July,11th 2001 .....9:11:25 PM
i just wanna let you know that recently my Indonesian teacher just died, her name is Ibu Sri .... eventhough she isn't my fave teacher but she is a good teacher because she liked me and she gave me good grades ..... i just feel so sorry because she is not that old yet
Don Bosco has just lost one of its best teacher ...... hopefully she will rest in peace

July,9th 2001 ...... 9:38:42 PM
I got good news and bad news, which one do you wanna read first? the bad one? OK, i found out today that MAYBE my departure to Melbourne will be on July 19th instead of 27th ... i'm not ready to leave Indonesia yet, damn it !!!! i still want to be in Jakarta for at least another 17 days and NOT 9 days ....... i'm a bit frustrated now
had enough with the bad news yet??? .. good because that's the only bad about me for today
The good news is the fact that Goran Ivanicevic wins the Wimbledon's final by defeating Patrick Rafter 6-3 3-6 6-3 2-6 9-7 ..... and the fact that he dedicated it to the late Drazen Petrovic who was the best Croatian basketball player and died in 1993 , just made it so sweet .. man, i'm about to cry now
i'm a big fan of NBA and i really enjoyed Drazen Petrovic's game but i never really thought about him until Goran said his name ... and boom ... now i remember that Drazen was way better than Toni Kukoc and that Drazen never had a championship ring ... and that is just not fair
while we are on the subject of NBA, i saw on Jay Leno show from a week ago that a highschool graduate was selected by LA Clippers .... and he thought that nothing can go worse than that , but guess what???? that guy was traded to Chicago Bulls ......
Today's Lesson : "If you don't get enough education, you can be drafted by a very bad team like the Clippers and traded to a very very very bad team like the Bulls"
Meaning: "Education is very important"

July,8th 2001 ..... 10:00:24 PM
Damn!!! Justine Henin lost 1-6 6-3 0-6 about 20 minutes ago and Venus is just way to strong to handle...... hopefully Henin will be an even better tennis player in the future .. nuff said with the bad news, the good news for today is the fact that Ivanicevic is going to the Wimbledon's final and the other good news is now Indonesia has a Wimbledon champ .... she is Angelique Widjaya (sp?) , she won the Girls final and i think she is the first Indonesian champ in any grandslams ever .. tomorrow is the final day for my wimbledon's chit-chat , so expect nothing constant for near future
Last night i went to the cinema and watched "Pearl Harbor" and boy it is a very good movie , the battle scenes are good (eventhough a lot of 'em is unrealistic but that's OK because that's what a movie is all about right??) ....
and for my PS update, i'm playing Grandia and still going on , yesterday i got a lot of old cds from my friend and that slowed down my grandia saga a bit..... i'm just enjoying "legion of heroes" .... classic game and not so good but it is FUN

July,5th 2001 ..... 9:45:44 PM
I decided to stop playing FF 9 for a while and borrowed my friend's Grandia , so i'm stuck with Grandia for a few days and i hope that i will not be so bored anymore ..... i tried to play "Detective Conan" and both FF 5&6 but they are just a bit annoying .. i can't understand Japanese in DC so i don't want to play it anymore.... FF 5 is just BAD , graphics are so baddddddd, while FF 6 has the look of SNES game because it was SNES game, and i hope i'll play it sometime after Grandia, eventhough FF 6 also a bit sucks for the graphics
WOW !!!! both Ivanicevic and Agassi are through to the Semi-final ...... and they AREN'T facing each other, i'm on a roll now .... one more happy news for me, Justine Henin defeated Capriati 2-6 6-4 6-2 ( i think ) ...... Go Henin, go go go go ..... HENIN for new queen of Wimbledon.... wait, it's starting to be more like a wimbledon's journal than mine, but what the heck , as long as Henin is winning, i'll be happy

July,4th 2001 ..... 3:27:55 PM
not feeling so cheesy today to talk about something to write in the .journal, but finally i got a new page for the june's archive and hopefully i'll get more for the other upcoming months .
Well, that's about it for today ..... btw, Davenport also won yesterday and i hope she can kick Venus' A double-S ..... if you know what i mean .... LoL
My dream Wimbledon final : Davenport vs Henin .. we'll have to wait and see

July,3rd 2001 ..... 10:00:45 PM
just a little update from Wimbledon Grand Slam ... both Henin and Capriati are through to the Semi Final and will face each other ... damn.....!!! Capriati defeated S.Williams 6-7 7-5 6-3 while Henin beat C.Martinez 6-1 6-0 ...... hahahahahahaha..... Whoever wins i'm still happy

July,3rd 2001..... 4:12:16 PM
wow! already onto 4th edition of my little journal......... trying to make new page for the June's journal but i don't have enough time yet... well, internet connection in Indonesia is so freakin expensive so i can't go online long enough everyday ( usually i use 30 hours for 1 month but last month i used 50 hours because it was holiday everyday )
Hooray!!! i finally managed to go to sleep at 11 PM yesterday ..... i think my sleeping problem is a bit over.. and i also got up at 8 AM this morning ( usually at 11 or 12 AM) .... hopefully i can go to sleep under 3 AM tonight !!!!!! i really really really hope so :)
Today i went to Mangga Dua to buy some stuffs for my "Melbourne Life" with my mom ...... Man, i got there at 10.30 in the morning and it was already very very very super mega ultra crowded !!!!!! i hate it .... and luckily i didn't have to stay there very long, only for about 1 hour and 40 minutes or so
Now i'm tired and waiting for "Cooking Master Boy" to air at 5 PM ... good day to everybody ... peace and out .....
btw, Pete Sampras lost yesterday to Federer and Hewitt also lost .... so, my 2 cent is on either Agassi or Ivanicevic for Men's Singles Champ .. for the Women's part, i pick either Davenport,Capriati or Henin---> my newest fave female tennis player :)

July,2nd 2001.....10:07:33 PM
3rd edition of my journal .... 2 days ago i went to Oceania Cafe for my friend's b'day celebration ( well actually we were just hanging out and eating stuffs --- i only drank lemonade...) . We were there until about midnight and then we went back to my other friend's house and talked a bit .... then i went home at 1 in the morning . I wanted to go to sleep as soon as possible but i couldn't go to sleep .... well i'm thinking that now i have a sleeping problem , basically i can't sleep unless it is over 3 AM ...... i can't sleep at all if it isn't 3 AM yet, i don't know why but it is starting to annoy me very much!!!!!! shoot......
Yesterday i wanted not to sleep at all so i can sleep early tonight but i couldn't do it .... i went to bed at 6 AM and i woke up at 12 because my friend called me on the phone.... i promised him that i would go with him to the airport but i felt a bit dizzy so i had to cancel it but he wasn't dissapointed at all ( he is a good friend ) .... btw, there are already a lot of his friends that went with him ... so no problem at all .....
i ended up playing Final Fantasy IX again.... already on disc 3.... a bit nice to replay the game again ... actually i'm looking for FF 7 and 8 because i haven't played those games.... i also watched some tv .... "Cooking Master Boy" is now one of my fave cartoon or anime ( i don't know what the difference is ) ..... and "Everybody Loves Raymond" is always one of my fave comedy series .....very funny episode for today LoL :)
