movies rental

lately...I've had this terrrrribleeeeee habit.
I never return the movies I rented on time!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and that makes me get fine whenever I return VCD or DVDs I rent.
well....
luckily enough...it's a good thing that some gals in Studio ONE (the only place in Jogja I rent movies from) know me quite well..that at
times they just charged me with a very limited or small amount of money
quite diff. from what I was to have paid:) haha

hmmm good, eh...

Hallyu Done, Euy

saturday.
the day I was waiting for. well..at least to my expectation..or sort of.
I kinda waited this day, for there was a seminar on research topic I have been working on.
I got to present the research findings or else....I won't get another research fund for the coming term.
at least I did it.
I couldn't have been more pleased of what I did today.

I DID IT.

Hallyu...: this is just what my topic is all about.
about this Korean waves that sweep across Asian countries through its music, movies and stuffs....

sigh....and relieved.

the presentation started at about 8.15 this morning and it is now 3.15 in the afternoon..and gosh...it was so tiring to talk and listen to other participants' research findings.

to top it all....it is Fasting Month.

hey hey hey..:) suray..u're not supposed to blame Ramadhan for this.
ooops sorry.
right.

I was wrong.

anyway.....I am relieved that finally I presented my paper and just to make some finishing touch to make it perfect.

and today...I may have a chance to go to Kaliurang with some friends of mine to have a FastBreaking together (read: Buka Puasa)

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Kuala Lumpur

The second time of being in KL really perturbed me in a sense of being aesthetic. I love it. I just got here yesterday (Sept.25, 2004) at 5 pm. And it was my first time ever to be in KLIA (Kuala Lumpur International Airport). Gosh…indeed it is the best airport I have ever been to for such a while. I thought I was in Incheon (Seoul International Airport) when I got there…because the chic was just the same…but what makes KLIA differs from Incheon is its human-touch state of the art architecture. It captured me.
So..I took the sky train to the baggage claim and immigration section. ..one thing that really captivated my attention. I assume KLIA is designed so…..as to make people feel the difference. KLIA really makes my experience cool enough to share with others.

And so…as soon as got from the train, I remembered that I didn’t have a single Ringgit with me. So…the only thing that popped out of my mind was to find any money changer. The first one that caught my attention was Maybank…but it turned out that the dollar I got was not acceptable. Simply put…without giving me any reasons why…I was told to try some other money changers…and so I did.
I forgot what it was…but luckily I managed to change a hundred buck into Ringgit. Gosh..what a realief.
And then…I rushed myself to the entrance door…to find anyone…who might have waited for me..
And it was not easy as I thought…
I had no idea of who would pick me up at the airport. I kept looking at each papers and lots of inscriptions written on papers.. Lots of people were carrying their hotel names complete with each hotel’s guests. But none of them is mineJ oh sigh

And then I circled and circled all people…
Nothing worked.
I found no one carrying a plate inscribed with my name…
And then…I circled for one last time…when I got my attention to one paper and my name written on itJ

Bumiputera Bank at KLIA RM 376.20

Now I got RM 166
166 –72 = RM 94
So I have spent RM 376 – 94 = RM 282 atau sekitar 282 X 2400 = Rp 676.800 (WOW….) Gosh.. only for 2 days???????????????????????

Telp rumah yang terima bapak
I was calling home using my Maxis phone card. I didn’t know that my father would receive the call. Since it was so damn expensive to call home via hand phone, I asked my father where my wife was as soon as I talked to him.
He told me that she was upstairs and that he would call her in. But to my surprise…my mom got the phone and told me that my wife was not at home at the time. She was at our home in Purwo…J


What a waste of moneyJ 도돋 well..at least I could get a chance to talk to my parents.
Finally bisa telp rumah.
YUP….I didJ)

Esemes ke hyong…meity
And…

Nonton Beverly hills ninja, anger management, Charlie angles: full throttle
And now..i am writing all of these….

midterm exam

finally I finished making the items for midterm exams. a couple of classes needed my full attention since last week. I got to be prepared or else.....my students wouldn't be dissapointed as to find nothing to do:0

woke up late ..as usual.
rushed my bike to campus.
dashed all barriers.

and here I am again. right in front of my blogs.
jotting down thoughts and pondering what life has in store for me..at least for today.

my sister sms-ed me ..telling that my Dad is coming to Yogya. I thought he was scheduled to arrive some time next week:)
but ....
it turned out that he changed his plan wihout giving me prior notice...even via sms:
still...I got to make up my rooms
and prepare some stuffs before he arrives.

but I am sure ..pretty much sure...that by the time I finished writing this blogs...he is already at my place.

project accomplished

hmm sebenarnya ada apa sih...
sudah lama saya nggak nongol nongol walaupun sekedar 'nginguk' to take a peep on my blogs.
gosh...it's been such a hectic week.
as soon as I got home from Kuala Lumpur...I got a tight schedule of preparing my research project. I got to finish making the report as of Oct.9. Well....as a matter of fact, I did it.

didn't have enough sleep.

didn't have enough time to eat.

let alone.....watching movies as I always did before this chaotic week came along.

but...hey....look at the bright side.
I found lots of things to see.
and it turned out that I managed to finish all of my projects in time for the screening session.
now I just got to pull myself together..so as to make me have extra energy to keep the good work.:) :D

good, you said, eh?

actually I should've jotted this thought down a few days ago...
no harm done..

I am good...as good as I could be..:)



latest movies I saw

shark tale, ladder 49, windstruck (Korean movie).
just watched those.
great.....!
Shark Tale, especially the vegie boy Lenny really amused me and he is really cute:) damned cute.
the way he talks and moves makes me tugged away into the most amusing smile I ever put on my face...
even I took him into my dreams......
gosh...what a vegie shark.
