This is absolutely cool..!! tupaibesar a.k.a Oscar, tupaikecil's hubby made this awesome sculpture of Hungarian Horntail named Helga.. Yeah.. Very interesting and incredibly authentic dragon.. Oscar made it very detail. I saw the progress and I was so amazed that he could do that so well.. So, this Helga The Hungarian Horntail is really different from Goblet of Fire movie. Oscar told me that the dragon design was from his own imagination, combined with any dragon pics he ever saw. He's definitely crazy.. Four thumbs up for you, mate!

Hueee.....!!!!!!!!! Back again to the "reality" facing tons of waiting-job-to-be-done list after having a very long weekend.. Last Thursday was the Independence Day (August 17th) and I had my own way celebrating the day by having sleep all day long.. How I loved it.. But, on Friday, August 18th, I still had to come to the office, while most of my friends had a "free" day off from their office. Well, nevermind.. I still had a great time spending my long weekend by participating in outbond from my church youth activity in Lembang, 3 days and 2 nights. I was supposed to go there on Saturday morning, at 7 AM, but apparantely I woke up right at 7 AM.. Great... I knew I wouldn't make it to church, so I decided to go with Mas Didik, our funkiest young priest ever.. hehehehe.. I was told that he would go at night then I called him. Unfortunately, his car was already full with other members. Damn..! I didn't have any idea how would I go to Lembang. I wanted to drive myself, but absolutely mum wouldn't allow. And taking my 1978 VW Combi wasn't a good idea too. I didn't wanna trouble myself with old car though I knew it was actually okay.. Then Anto called me, offering a lift to Lembang with Bayu. I thanked God for it..

( And the journey begins... )

WHOOOOOOAAAAAA.....!!!!!!!

It's bloody amazing day!!
It's finally arrived!! HAH!! Yes, another Taylor's CD I ordered with the BIG help from mql!!!
This one is totally rare here... Okay, I'm a freak and I'm proud to be freak! Mwuahuahuahuahuahuaaa...!!!!



Now my officemates are listening to "Under The Radar" and they are really enjoy Tay's songs..
Oh yes, they give lotsa compliments for Taylor...

To Maggie: Thanks for your help!! You're totally the best! WOOOHHHOOOOOO....!!!!!!!!!
And yes, I'm also glad it worked out.. *big hugs*

Hehehehehe... yeah.. Look what I've got yesterday when I was "window shopping" in The Beatz music store with n_i_j_i. Taylor Hicks' single album. Yup, that heaven & hell place on earth (for both of us), sells it. I don't know with any record stores in town, but all I know, that is the only AI winner's single album ever sold here... I never see Aiken's, Studdard's, Carrie's or Bo's. Only the full albums. But Taylor's was one of a kind... I thought it wouldn't be sold here at first, after the experience of others AI winner (I did discuss about it with odayski). It was actually nothing to lose for me because, well, I already had the songs (thanks to the internet!). But then again, the feeling of not-a-truthful-fan-if-you-don't-have-the-collections-of-your-idol showed up. I hate myself that I have such idealism, because I spend money "for nothing", but sometimes it brings the happiness that only me (and others who has the same habit) can understand... Regret at first, because you spend too much money, but happy when you know that it's rare (or maybe freak?) among others.. Being the minority sometimes cool.. ^_____^v

Then we had dinner (and that was about 10.30 PM!!! *gubraxx!!*) in the best Jap's noodle restaurant in EX, Beppu Menkan. After finishing our meals, we did a photography lesson. Well, actually that was silly because we took photo of ourself in the "miror" using Tay's cd case..



That was me right on "Tay's black shirt"...

and



Niji, also on "Tay's black shirt"

Niji said that Taylor did bring the "narcissm" out of her. Yeah, she doesn't really like to be the model. She prefers to be the photographer, but this time she likes to be the model.. hehehehehe...
Finally Taylor gives the "positive" effect to her.. She always affected by anyone I take as idols.. *evil grins*

For yesterday experience, now I'm thinking of my "mental health". I sometimes amaze of myself because I spend money for, actually, "worldly desires".. Anything related to Alan Rickman, Taylor Hicks, Harry Potter and any worth-to-buy movies, are stuffs that I enjoy the liberty to pursue..
My father once asked me when I was arranging my DVD collection alphabetically,

"What will you do with those stuffs if you have your own family?"

"I will take 'em, of course..", I said, busy with DVDs..

"After you die? Where are you gonna put them...?"

"I'll inherit to those who loves movies like me...", still busy with my collections.

And my father shouted his mouth..

Yeah, I know I can't bring 'em to heaven or hell, but I enjoy my "worldly desires" while I'm still alive and that brings the self-happiness. It gives you less stress with things you face, at least.. And it happens to most people in the world.. I just wanna feel bless with what I have.. Right? I hope I'm right... *sighs*

cape juga ya cerita pake bahasa inggris...

Semalem baru pulang dari kantor jam 1.30 dini hari...
Gak niat ngacir kemana-mana, karena mang pengen langsung pulang. Dari kantor jam 8, namun sebelumnya melipir dulu ke RS Carolus, setor muka ma nyokap n PowPow plus Toby. Baru setelah jam 10 gue cabs balik ke rumah. Mendadak gue berasa laper banget n gue pun japri si Dian, sepupu gue. Maksud hati nyari temen maem gitu.. Kebetulan tu anak ada di warnet-nya si Danang. So, gue pun melipir ke situ..

Baru aja sampe di warnet, tiba-tiba si Dian nongol dari belakang gue sambil teriak-teriak, "Kebakaran! Kebakaran!" Gue otomatis bengong. Perasaan gue ga liat ada kebakaran deh..
"Lo ga liat tu asep ngepul tebel banget di sana?" kata si Dian sambil nunjuk ke arah belakang warnet si Danang. Setelah gue melongok ke atas, iye juga tu asep tebel banget. Gak berapa lama, si Danang lari-lari dari samping warnetnya dia sambil teriak minta tolong ke anak-anak kongkow situ yang juga temen-temen gue. Walhasih, anak-anak yang lagi pada kongkow di warnet macam Dian, adeknya Dian si Sari, Lubulubu, Kibot, Edo, and Bowo ngacir ke rumah si Danang.
Hueleh.. daerah rumah Danang gelep banget.. Mati lampu, cuy!! Cuma terang dari api doang.. itupun masih dibelakang pemukiman rumah si Danang yang deket ma pasar Otista..

Sebenernya tu api blom deket-deket amat ma rumahnya Danang, namun, berhubung kebakarannya ada di pemukiman padat, so, api pun menjalar dengan cepatnya. Di dalem rumah Danang yang gelap gulita, anak-anak pada ngangkutin barang-barang yang sekiranya bisa diselametin. Antisipasi sebelum api menjalar makin jauh..
Gue liat tu api dari belakang rumah Danang, emang gede banget. Gue juga ngeliatin orang-orang pada ngacir-ngaciran nyelametin barang-barangnya. Kasian juga mereka.. Udahlah rumahnya kecil n terbuat dari kayu, pake kebakaran pula... Ya, susah juga ya namanya musibah.. Udah gitu ketimpaan di daerah perkampungan yang jarak rumahnya sama sekali ga ada..



Mobil pemadam kebakaran ternyata cukup cepat bertindak.. Api berhasil dipadamkan 2 jam kemudian, sebelum menjalar sampe ke rumah Danang.. Selamatlah keluarga si Danang. Sempet ngeri juga seh.. Setelah rada aman, anak2 pada kelaperan trus pesen nasi goreng dah.. Sempet2nya poto ma mas-mas pemadam kebakarannya pula...!!


Ki-ka= si baju merah (gue ga tau namanya..), Dian, Bowo, Lubulubu, Sari


Ki-ka= Edo, Sari, Bowo, Mas Pemadam Kebakaran, Danang, Dian, Mas Baju Merah
Jongkok= Kibot

Gue ga bisa ngebayangi kalo rumah gue yang kebakaran. Apa yang musti gue selametin ya selain keluarga gue? Mo bawa koleksi DVD gue, segambreng gitu.. yang pasti, gue bakal bawa tas ransel gue yang isinya Sevie n peralatan ngantor gue.. Wah, ribet juga ya.. Duh, jangan sampe deh ketimpaan musibah kayak gitu...
