Lovely ♥Benedict♥

My current Obsession: Sherlock. If you haven’t watched the series, you should watch it. Now. Otherwise you’re missing one of the greatest joys in life. Which is: si ganteng Benedict Cumberbatch *fangirl alert. Okay, seriously, Sherlock series make you understand why there’s such a thing as TV. Otherwise you’d think TV is just a stupid box that drain your electricity and add to your monthly bill.

The series is one of the best series ever. They gave me hope for TV after I lost interest in Psych (juliet kissing shawn: so not important a.k.a gak penting banget gitu loch) and Supernatural (making out with an angel? really??). Dino, I’m really sorry I didn’t believe you when you told me about this more than a year ago. But then again, watching two straight seasons feels much more satisfying than one episode at a time, plus if I had to wait more than a year for the second season, I’d be suffering from a really bad sherlock-craving.

At first I planned this post as some sort of review but considering my current state of my mind I suspect that it will only be about my gushing at the lovely creature that Benedict Cumberbatch’s Sherlock is and I don’t think anyone would enjoy that so I guess I’ll end this now.

Sungguh, yang namanya orang lemot merupakan cobaan dari Atas. When you have to explain over and over again what you just said it can be detrimental to your (mental) health. If he finally gets it then it’s okay, but if he doesn’t, well, ingat aja bahwa (katanya) orang sabar disayang Tuhan. There was this girl at work who was kinda slow on the uptake. The girls would all be gossiping merrily when suddenly she cut in and asked, ”How come she…” then we’d have to pause our profound discussion and take time to explain it to her. It would happen over and over again until one of us (usually me) snapped and decided to call it quits even though we haven’t finished picking the bones of our gossip object. Ohhhh the pain!! Baiklah kalau hanya dalam hal gosip, berarti dia berarti bersih dan suci (huekcuh) masalahnya dalam hal kerjaan juga begitu. Sangat melelahkan. Trust me, you don’t ever wanna be in the same team with a ”dim” person. Lebih gawat lagi kalo orangnya pake acara ngeles, gak mau ngaku kalo dia gak nangkep. You won’t be able to find out that he doesn’t understand until he gives his work and turns out he did it all wrong. Aghh. And for the male chauvinists out there I need to clarify that being dim is not dominated by women. “Dim” men do exist.

I was gonna rant on the outrageously awful “Halloween II” but on second thought I don’t think it even deserves my rants. ^^ I’ll just say this, spare yourself (and your wallet). DON’T watch it. Unless you want to know what a substandard crappy movie is like. If it weren’t for the association with the Halloween series, it would have been a straight-to-video one. Seriously, it’s THAT bad. Now, even though I said it didn’t deserve my rants I did rant a bit on the movie so I guess I’ll continue this post to rant on my sworn enemy.

I used to hate people who smoke in public places so much I never thought I’d see the day something replaces them in my heart (halahh..). Turns out living in Jakarta has introduced me to the lowly species that is motorbike riders. I HATE them. I REALLY HATE them. I HATE them with all my heart. And if you’re a pedestrian in Jakarta then I’m sure that you will agree to at least some of what I’m saying.

Motorbike riders in Jakarta showed me that THEY, and not smokers, are the most selfish creature in this whole world, my world at least. I’m sure every pedestrian has had a rider honking him from behind when walking on the walkway. I’m sorry, I thought walkways are meant for pedestrians. Are you walking? No, you’re not. SO WHAT’S WITH THE HONKING??!!!!

Riders also NEVER stop even if they’re going to run into something. They don’t stop even if it seems they’re gonna collide with a car so there’s just NO way in hell that they’d stop for a pedestrian. As I mentioned before , I’ve had riders barely avoiding me at the intersection DURING THE RED LIGHT just because they won’t hit the brake. I’ve even had a rider actually running me over EVEN THOUGH I WAS CROSSING AT THE ZEBRA CROSS!!! Fortunately I survived the accident (dengan memar di sana-sini bak korban penganiayaan) with my head and all four limbs intact. Masih inget aku, motor kawasaki ninja (sedikit curhat ^^).

Yang bikin lebih sebel lagi, motor kalo nyelip-nyelip suka-sukanya aja. Tapi kalo dia kesenggol marah. Eh monyong!! Macam jalan neneknya aja dibikinnya.. Jujur, kalo ngeliat kecelakaan (yang 90% korbannya motor tentu saja) aku udah gak ada kasian sama sekali ngeliat pengendara motor yang jadi korban. Bukan apa-apa, kemungkinan besar he brought it upon himself.

I know, I know, not all riders are like that. But due the VERY HIGH frequency of my meeting an ass**** rider, I’ve adopted the principle “guilty until proven otherwise” ato kalo dalam bahasa Indonesia, “praduga bersalah”. Kalo elok laku dia, barulah aku menganggap “Oh, ini orang. Bukan pengendara motor.” kehkehkehh

No offense to riders reading this. Sukur-sukur pengendara motor yang baca ini agak bertobat dikit. Kalo ada orang lagi nyebrang dikasi lewat. Gak suka ngebut dengan motornya yang saking ributnya kayaknya kalo diukur mencapai desibel 100. Ato kalopun kelakuannya gak berubah setidaknya abis nabrak orang ada lah kepikiran dikit..

Astaga…

Gilak ya pejabat Indonesia. Belum apa-apa dah mo naikin gaji aja. Hal pertama yang diurus malah begituan. Najongg… Amit-amit. Terus alasannya karena dibandingkan dengan gaji pejabat tinggi di negara-negara lain gaji pejabat Indonesia jauh lebih rendah. Bandinginnya ma mana tuh? Sama Singapura? Jepang? Jerman? Ya iyyalahh lebih rendah. Gaji karyawan Indonesia juga dibandingin ma gaji karyawan Singapura ya jauh lebih rendah. Kalo ngebandingin tuh sama Zimbabwe kek. Monyong. Bikin alasan yang bagusan dikit napa.
Kalo ampe beneran naik gaji kudoakan duitnya gak berkah. Sukur-sukur rumahnya kemalingan ato kebakar ato hal-hal jelek lainnya dahh.
Cihh kalo dah menyangkut pejabat pemerintahan memang selalu bikin cakap kotor.

just drop dead

Usually I’m not bothered by it, tapi entah kenapa kemaren udah sampe ke ubun-ubun. I’m talking about the stupid low-class uneducated men yang kerjanya nyuit-nyuitin setiap cewek yang lewat di depannya. I was walking, minding my own business, when suddenly a stupid ugly (gak tau juga sih jelek apa gak, kulirik pun tidak..) boy (around high-school age I think) ngomong,

“Mau ke mana mbak?”

Naturally, I didn’t answer, though I had this urge to look for the biggest rock near me. And naturally, of course, he continued his aggravating behavior,

“MBAK!! MBAK!! Mau kemana??!”
“**** off!!” (dalam hati doang)

Melihat gak ada tanggapan, ganti strategi dia,

“Assalamualaikum”
(Siiiinggg…)
“ASSALAMUALAIKUM!!”

AGGGGHHHH WHY DON’T YOU JUST DROP DEAD!!

bloody monday = bloody boring

I take back what I said previously about Bloody Monday. It’s BOOORIINGG because the story’s got no substance whatsoever. The perfect example of a plot-driven manga. I groaned practically at every chapter due to the stupid plot. むかつく!!! Ughh.. Skipped to the last three chapters and I’m thankful that I did. Turned out the mangaka made another outrageous twist. Bah. I don’t think it deserves the previous 7.5. I doubt it even deserves 5 out of 10

I loove rants ^^

“What do you mean?”
“I’m saying, I can’t help you this time. I’m up to my neck in my own problems.”
“Wha–? What happened?”
“None of your business.”
“That’s not a very nice thing to say. I’m trying to help you here, you know.”
“And I’m saying, I don’t need your help. You can’t even help yourself, how do you plan to help me? “

….

“How come you never told me anything?”
“Let’s see.. I guess that is because, unlike a certain someone, I don’t go around telling the whole world that I’m the most unfortunate person in the whole universe. Unlike YOU, I take care of my own problems. I don’t burden others..”

hahh shame on (stupid) you..

Hahaa memalukan sekali masalah tari Pendet kemarin. I found it really strange that everyone and especially the media instantly (dan dengan penuh semangat) mencaci-maki Malaysia. How could they be so confident of their side of the story? Did it never occur to them to verify the so-called theft? Didn’t they think of the possibility that the blame might lie on Discovery? But nooo!! Nobody I talked to even think of the possibility. They vehemently declared that “Malaysia is once again out to steal our culture!!!” and they called on everyone to come join the hate wagon. So now Discovery has admitted that it was their mistake, what do you have to say? Nothing. And if anything, this incident only serves as a testament to your stupidity. Hehh. And what’s worse, pemerintah kita yang tercinta itu (hoekk) made an official protest to Malaysia about this matter. Can you imagine? They made a big fuss over nothing!! And this is the government for God sake!!! How can they made a mistake over something like that?? So what are you going to do now? Issue apology to Malaysia? Hahh..

Everyone should stop this hating game already. It’s been going on for too long and too far and nothing good will come of it..

agghhhh

Hahhh udah bagus-bagus Vaizard nongol dan get the excitement back to Bleach knapa sepertinya lagi-lagi bakal kembali fokus ke Gotei 13 begooo!!!!! I want Shinji and Kensei and Hachi!! I don’t need stupid Hisagi..

Ughh I’m thinking of putting Bleach back on hold

Bajaj gila

Salemba, sebagai daerah mahasiswa, adalah sarang bajaj. You can find bajaj anywhere and anytime (except when you’re looking for one ). My sister and I wanted to indulge ourselves a bit and so we decided to ride one from our kosan to UI campus. One bajaj was coming our way, and we hailed it.

“Kampus UI, Pak.”
“Oke.”
“Berapa?”
“Lima belas ribu.”
“HAHHH?? Tujuh ribu..!”

The driver gave us a disdainful look and drove away haughtily (and noisily, like all bajaj’ do), leaving my sister and me with our mouths hanging open. Paseban ampe FK UI 15 ribu??!! Mending gw naik taksi!! Enak aja..!! Terus marah pula dia waktu ditawar. Dasar bajaj gila!!

Kalau mau ber-husnuz dzhan, mungkin aja si supir rada budek dan salah denger. But still it didn’t justify the way he treated us.

NB: Paseban-FK UI itu kira-kira jaraknya Gasibu-Ganesha
