30th Mar 2007

Abis kerja, langsung deh telp Vera, tanya dia ada di mana....
Eh kebetulan dia juga baru pulang dari kuliahnya and masih 'beredar' di city. Ya aku langsung 'sabet' aja Vera, minta tolong temanin aku cari RENT mobil.

Kita pertama jalan ke deket TAKERU, tapi udah tutup...huaaaaa............
Akhirnya jalan kaki ke HYDE PARK, caught taxi to the airport.

Nah di airport juga banyak banget tuh RENTAL company, and aku jalanin satu persatu untuk cari the best deals out of all. Akhirnya dapat AVIS Car Rental. Mobilnya Hyundai Getz. Lumayan ENAK BANGET LOHHHHHHHH..................manual pula jadi lebih serasa more sporty lah kesannya. Mobilnya warna merah pula kek si "Vera" amat...

Untuk perjalanan pertama pakai mobil itu, kita ke Parramatta, mau cari makan malam.
Sampai di Parramatta, kita masuk parkiran 'kerennya' Parramatta Riverside Theatre yang asyik banget, karena gerbangnya bukan pakai pintu, tapi pakai palang yang munculnya dari dalam tanah...WUIHHHHHHH...

Baru setelah kita parkir tuh mobil, kita baru nyadar (oh well, maksudnya aku) kalau itu parkiran hanya untuk anggota parramatta theatre aja. Jadi alamat..............keluarnya kita mesti tunggu salah satu anggota itu mau keluarin mobilnya, baru kita bisa 'nebeng'

Tapi yah sudah lah, udah keburu masuk mau di apain....yang penting mau cari makan sekarang...

Nah...makannya di mana...?? *lirik2 Amel*...DIIIIIIIIIII................................*ehem2* MEAT & WINE Co. di pojokan situ. Wahh keren banget, porsinya juga mantab, tempatnya juga PE WE abis. Sofa and bantal and pojok, heater, POKOKNYA kelas asyik punya deh and PUUUUEEWWWEEE abis. Udah kayak kencan aja pakai lilin2 merah nan indah itu. PLUS............makanan yang kita order itu FUNKY banget SALMONnya di 'siksa' ditusuk2 sampai ke atas..........and nasinya 'mendelongop' dari bawah. Sampai orang2 bule di sekitar pada lihatin and sampai tanya2 ke Waiter nya "makanan apa yang kita pesan itu??"

Hehehe..DESSERTnya yummmmmmmmmm mantaB....bikin perut gue gak rela untuk SUDAHAN. Entreenya?? Wah jangan di tanya lagi, pilihan bagus banget untuk menu pembuka...CHICKEN WINGS negro yang rasanya juga gak kalah TOP nya...ewwwww menyenangkan banget deh, and kita ada photo2 juga tapi pakai mobile phone masing2....VER...jangan lupa transfer ke email ya...ehhe

ALICISM ?!?! KAPAN DONK kita ber PE WE ria di Meat and Wine Co...?!? Sebenarnya aku udah pernah ke sana sih tapi yang cabang lain, which's in Darling Harbour deket IMAX. Tapi itu suasanya terlalu pub/clubby gitu gak tau napa...kalau yang di parra lebih asyik, elegan gitu...

Dan yang lebih bikin tenganga bodok yaitu.............:
Di dalamnya ...langit2nya mantaB...ada 'itunya' banyak...keren deh pokoknya...

RATING: 8.7 out of 10

HAYOOOOOOOOOOOO siapa mau ke sana lagi?? I guess im going back there soon.....ehhehe

29th March 2007

Pertama kali masuk kuliah setelah 'endless' long holiday...LOL
Seharusnya sudah masuk 26th Mar 2007 kemarin, tetapi ada perubahan jadwal. Jadinya tidak masuk.

Akhirnya malah malam2 itu 26th Mar 2007 jam 6an langsung ke Broadway, beli ini itu, mestinya beli Hulla Hoop tapi gak ada.

Anyways, selasa malamnya NOMAT sama Vera. Nonton "Wild Hogs" bagus kok...lucu aja and refreshing. 1 setengah jam, or malah hampir 2 jam.
Itu film sih tentang persahabatan lah tema2nya...and cukup menghibur kok. Plus sebelum nonton, kita jalan2 di Westfield dulu and pastinya makan malam di Bamboodle...keren deh and YUMMM!!!

Nah kembali ke topic yaitu tanggal 29th Mar 2007. Masuk kelas pelajaran Interpersonal and e-Communications. Aku enggak terlalu paham tentang apa nih pelajaran, eh pas dosennya masuk aja suasana langsung menjadi hangat and mengasyikkan. Orang2nya juga hampir semua muka baru, and ga ada orang Indonesia. Kebanyakan chinesse and nepal. Tapi asyik and ok. Hmmm jadi semangat belajar nya, yah semoga saja dapat nilai yang bagus kali ini pelajaran ini....


------------------

PS: Minggu ini banyak keluar duit untuk makan ......weks..kapan mau beli sepedanya DOLF?!?!?

26th Mar 2007

This morning, i udah 'gentayangan' ke mana mana tuh...soalnya rumah lagi pasang BOMB kecoa, jadi harus escape. Well, nyokap mah dah pegi dari pagian. Dia ke tante Annie (temannya) di Campsie. Aku pegi ke Bankstown and ke Library.

Pulang2 mum aku suruh potong rambut, alhasil *tada!* ada new look nih di mum.

Today's supposed to be day 1 untuk kuliah Business Ethics. Jam 6-7pm.
Pas sampai sana jam 6 lewat 5 malam, di kelas cuma ada 3 orang termasuk aku. and gak ada siapa2.
And akhirnya diberitahukan bahwa scedule / timetable nya akan di rubah. Jadi kita boleh pulang.
Ah tau gini gak usah ke city lah, buang2 duit aja, mana udah malam gak bisa ke mana2 karena tutup.

Eh untung si Vera bilang broadway (REBEL) masih buka sampai jam 7pm. Jadi langsung deh naik bus dari QVB ke broadway, yang dimana aku gak usah bayar, karena orangnya gak punya kembalian (padahal uang ku cuma 10 bucks loh and bus nya 1.70) Tapi ya sudah dia yang bilang gak usah bayar.
LUCKY!

Sampai di broadway, aku ke REBEL and tanya ttg Hulla Hoop itu, tapi mereka keabisan stocked.
Oh well, aku ke mall nya aja ke Dicksmith sekalian REFUND barang sound system itu. Akhir nya bisa deh hehe ...

And jatuh2nya jadi belanja celana dalam dan kaos dalam dan gak tau napa jadi beli DASI juga hehe.
Guess what...? malam2 ini tadi jalan2 aku ENGGAK BELI MAKANAN APA PUn *tumben ADOLF*

Weittsss...iya lah kan mau DIET :p

SENIN 12th Mar 2007

10am at WENWORTHVILLE Station...

Thats the first schedule of the day.
Went to catch up with Kak Niko to arrange the music for CLIMB EVERY MOUNTAIN.

This song is gonna be one of our 'big thing' for Easter this year at CIC Newtown.
I have arranged the vocal for Angels Vox.
This song contains three parts.
One part (beginning) - ANGELS VOX
Second part (mid) - YOUTH
Third part (ending) - WHOLE CHOIR + ANGELS VOX + YOUTH

Two pieces of violin. Two clarinets. One keyboardist ( Yo!! Human Nature!!!! Go Motown!) , Two trumpets, and one Orgen.

Those are the instruments that we're using for this song. So you can imagine how big and amazing the song is gonna come out.

It's supposed to be a classic kind of song, BUT this time, i arranged it differently. Now it is more like Gospel 'thang"!
Which is GOOD...and im so excited.

So today (this morning), i went to kak Niko's place in Wenworthville at 10am. I arrived there at the station 9.55am. Tante Lucia picked me up from the station. And as soon as i got there at their place, we started talking and arranging the music.
There were some arguments came out, but since we're both musicians, it's really normal if something happens like that.
at 1pm, we finished all the music sheets and stuff, and tante Lucia served us the lunch, and then we had lunch together there at their place...
YUM YUM YUM...

2.30pm
-----------
Met Vera, Michael and Dony in the city. Had lunch there di resto Thai next to TAKERU...YUM YUM YUM...and then went to the Ice cream cafe next door.
Then K-World for 2 hrs. Really had great time there with Donny, Vera, and Michael...(Oh..where's Michael??)

7.30pm
_______
At City Extra. Had dinner and laugh and all that...CHAI LATTE yummmmmm yummmmm...
And also inget Donny 'melintir' sendirian dengan gaya INDIA nya heheh di Circular Quay dah gitu pas hujan rintik2...PAs banget tuh untuk bikin film INDIHE... acha...acha *geleng2*

A TRIP OF A LIFETIME TO MAKKAH

Mum ada conference tadi malam di HOTEL METRO di city. Actually dia malah jadi salah satu penerima tamunya.
Soalnya ini acara banyak orang2 Indo and orang Malaysia. Acaranya sendiri diadakan oleh pihak MAlaysian Airline yang membuka jalur UMROH bagi orang2 muslim yang mau UMROH dari AUSSIE.

Mum pergi jam 3 dari sini, acaranya sendiri mulai jam 5 tapi dia harus "bilden sie" (make up) dulu di sana.
Alhasil itu deh di pict setelah sampai di sini jam 11 malam udah kumel tapi masih menarik

das ist, warum ich ein Photo von ihr machen wollte...

Genieben Sie!

SEMINAR AT THE MENZIES HOTEL, WYNYARD, 9th MAR 07

Actually, yesterday me and Vera're supposed to attend another Seminar about hmmm public speaking (forgot!), but i had to do some works in town and after that had to see doctor to get blood test (ouuch!). So i didnt go for the seminar. I think it would've been great if i went there....oh well..next time ...!




And today, after work, i got to go the THE MENZIES HOTEL, which is right in front of Wynyard (at Carrington St, Sydney). There's a very good SEMINAR ( i should've said CONFERENCE) about Internet Marketing Conference.
It started at 6pm, Level 2. The speakers're from US (we obviously could tell from their accent without having to wait for them to introduce themselves). They're all great people who've succeed with their business, especially Internet Marketing.

Its also about how you can achieve your financial goals and dreams using the same powerful Internet Marketing strategies and techniques being used by the most successful entrepreneurs! (Lirik2 ke Amel). Lucky, i got this chance for free from work....ehehe.

I went with Monike.

The conference took place about 90 mins. And after that they served Entree (Breads), and then after that Salads, and then main menu STEAK!
It was only for limited people as we had to reserve the seat before actually came in.

All up was 3 hrs and will be continued 24th March at Star City Hotel (Sydney) 10am. Hmmm.....
At least i have learnt a bit more tonight from what i have heard from those people...

THANK YOU ...THANK YOU...and look forward to another conference...especially anything about Marketing and Public Speaking...

PS: They gave us FREE ORGANISER valued at $120 eheheh lumayan......

MARDI GRAS 2007 in SYDNEY

You will be my new years eve...
My valentine...
blah blah blah blah blah...

You'll be my mardi gras
My april fool...
lalalalalalalal...

Very famous! Every year, so many people come to Sydney for Mardi Gras. But i had never been there since last Saturday.
That was 3rd March 2007.
I went there by myself, caught the train 7.08pm from Regents Park after serving at the mass here in Regents Park (Local Church).

My flatmate was also there too, but we went seperately as i had to go to the church before it. So, thought we would meet him there, shocking news was.....there're SOOOOO many peeps standing in the line from ELIZABETH ST (ST JAMES) - HYDE PARK was also packed - OXFORD ST (Hell yeah!) - LIVERPOOL ST. Those street are closed for this.

It's apperantly one of the Sydney's biggest even of the year.
For you who dont know what Mardi Gras is, it is an even for Gay and Lesbian pride. Began on 24th June 1978 and it met with police violence. Not every country has Mardi Gras. Why Sydney has one? I have read a study saying that Sydney has one of the biggest gay and lesbian community in the world. I think the first is San Francisco, and then London, and then Sydney.

Thats why the mardi gras here is Sydney's contribution to the Int'l Gay Solidaritas Community.
It surprised me that so many people 're into this stuff.

For me, its not as good as i thought it was.
I couldnt breath, i had to squeeze in with other people, the weather was too hot...ewww i was thinking eww i would be better off sit in the cafe somewhere.

But hey, i got to see DREAM BOYZ...in one of those parades..but again too bad i didnt have chance to take a pict...:(
Anyways, its a good thing, AT LEAST, i have seen that and i have been there...!!!

After that before went home, i met Vera and her uncle who came from Jakarta for a week. And we had a bit of chit chat on the train on the way back home...:)

I think Gay is not a sexuality, but it is A lifestyle....
GO GAYS...!! You're as amazing as we ARE.

VERA ULANG TAHUN ke - 22 | 24th Feb 2007

It was raining all day in Sydney.
I knew that's Vera's birthday. I sent her SMS in the morning.

And Peter (my bro' in law) picked me up to go together in to town that afternoon. While Caecil's working.
Around 3 pm, got an sms from Vera that we 're meeting up in the HYDE PARK at 6pm.

Hmmm...was thinking, its raining here, how could you ask us to meet up in the park ? LOL
Then i found out it wasnt raining that time in her area (HILLS DISTRICT) so she wouldnt know.

Me and Caecil caught up in the city around 6ish. And Amel and Vera came later around 6.30pm EWWWWWWW......late ...late and late!

But where's ALICE...!??! No one knew at that time.
Vera's looking for ALICE here and there. And while waiting, i realised that none of us (AMEL, CIL, and myself) brought or at least had ordered BIRTHDAY CAKE FOR VERA.... NONE....!!!
Then i thought, OK I WILL BUY ONE, the EMERGENCY ONE...I knew that WOOLIES has got some cakes there but i dont think that's a good choice, so we (CIL and ME) went to the GLORIA JEANS, but the cake 's too large. NOT WORTH IT. And we jumped to the McDonald's next door, but they havent got any cake for that day. Ok, last choice...*drum rolls* WOOLIES...eheheh

We had a din din...(SANGAT SEDERHANA KALI INI), at the Japs Resto close to QVB.
It was full or self reflections, talking, the atmosphere was a bit nervous at the beginning, but at the end it was full of laugh.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VERA!!! MAKAN2 DI BLUE MOUNTAINNYA MASIH DITUNGGU LOHHHHH.......!;)

16th Feb 2007 - GOLD COAST TRIP

Finally, one of Alicism's biggest plans for this year has come! GOING TO THE GOLD COAST...
Early morning, i have packed my things since about 3 days before.
Got my tickets, accomodation, car (Thanks to Flight Centre/Claire and thanks to A STAR RENT CAR in GC)....Things 're ready!

Went on special car that my dad's friend (STEVEN) lent it to me and my friends to go to the airport. It was a luxury car. Holden Caprice 2007 model.
Met Steven 5.20am. Was waiting for Amel and Vera to come over, but till 5.35am, they havent got here due to the delay of the train. So, i thought we picked them up at Lidcombe station.

Caught them up at Lidcombe station 5.45am. We were late 15mins from the schedule. But it is okay. You cant do much when you just rely on the train *sighs*

Got to the Sydney domestic airport at around 6.10am. Geez...its only 25 mins from Lid - Airport!
Say good bye to Steven...!! and asked him to pick me up when im back.

My other friend, Donny, went there separately and he got to the airport few mins before us. So its not too bad as he didnt have to wait for long.

Jumped to the queue to check in and threw our luggages. I was still sleepy by that time. But i was just cheering myself up and looking forward to the Gold Coast.

Boarding at 6.30am. Took off at 7am. Got four seat in one row. I think it was row 8 and we have reserved A - D.
Amel, Vera, and Donny are in the same block, then i was seperated by the isle, and just sat there by myself with one guy.
I spent my 1.15 mins in aero by just reading my book that HASNT BEEN FINISHED YET...oh well actually i have finished reading that book, but it was just a quick one. Now i tried to read and remember things that good to be remembered.

Got there at 7.25am local time (Gold coast). My friend JIAN from A STAR recognised my straight away. I dunno how he could recognise me LOL.
We had this car for 5 days (Mits Magna 2006) very powerful car with P/W, A/C, Electric Seat, CD player, Cruise control, Auto. All the stuff that we need is all there!
Thanks goodness.

Went to check in at the Apartment that we rented for 5 days. Too bad that the receptionist was a freak NENE NENE who served us badly without any friendly attitude, and also we couldnt check in till about 12. Geez...we still had about 4 hrs to spend before check in. Thats crazy! Usually hotel or apartment, they let people check in around 10am. But what is this?? WHAT?

We decided to go for breakfast. I took my friends to Conrad Jupiter and look for breakky there.
Once we got there, we went it to this Italian Resto next to buffet resto at Conrad.


Then after that, we headed off to.....*drum rolls* DREAMWORLD.
Vera was navigating us in the car from Surfers Paradise (the area where we're staying for 5 days | COPACABANA APT) to the Dreamworld in hmmmm (forgot what the suburb's name 's), but it was like 45 mins driving. And it is in between Goldcoast and Brisbane. Not too far from our place.

Arrived there after "GOT LOST" in the roundabout for 10 mins...at 11am. Not too bad. They 're open from 10 - 5pm. Means we only missed 1 hr.

Enjoyed our times being there, we rode most of the rides available that day. So fun!! Especially in Nightmare!! Eww kalau di Indo its called Rumah Hantu ehhe...
Cant imagine how fun it was being on the one of the world's fastest roller coaster THE CYCLONE...and the CLAWS....
and also how exclusive we were served by the BUMPER CAR man...they let us in for the last ride there...YAY! so Lucky.

but dissapointed with white water raftingnya sih.

We finished around 5pm and went to the apt to have shower and dinner in the Italian Resto close to Conrad, i think its called Valentino's

DAY 2
Dropped my friends off at the Sea World. I think its good for them to visit this place.
I didnt go there as i had another appoinment with Paul who came from Brisbane that day. And we met in the Conrad and spent some time sightseeing around the area.

Had to pick up my friends from Sea World at 5ish. Say good bye to PAUL and hope to see you again sometime SOON.
Brought my friends back to the apt.
And had separate dinner.
I went with Donny, and Amel was with Vera.
Me and Donny just walked up to the city (CAVILL AVE) , oh before that, we had din din in the Italian Resto (AGAIN?!?!?) but its the one which's close to our place.
And went to the shopping centre, just sit there and relaxing till about 12ish then back.


DAY 3
Brisbane trip
The weather was awful. Heavy rain in the middle of way to Brissy.
By the time we got there, its already lunch time. We decided that we're going our seperate ways. Me and Donny, had lunch in a beautiful resto in the mid of the shopping centre. I think that was a THAI resto, but what good was, they'd a menu called NASI GORENG BALINESSE...strange. Then we oredered that rice, and AGAIN.....DiSAPPOINTED with the rice, but thanks goodness that the waitress who served us was NICE, FRIENDLY, CUTE, and POLITE! So we kinda enjoyed our time there. After that, We went to the shopping centre at William St in Brissy, i gotta buy something...errrm...oh yeah that time i bought a nice and stunnin' belt from INDUSTRIE, it was made of a beautiful leather, and i always wear it everytime i have a chance since then. Also, bought an ICE CREAM...YUM YUM...cant wait to see other pict from DONNY. At 3pm, we were back to the point where we had agreed to meet up at and then went to the PARK (Southbank).

Spend most of the day in that area, till about 6.30pm,then headed off back to the Gold Coast.

DAY 4
Long drive to Bayron bay. Ada small concert di dalam mobil dari PCD - Pussy Cat Donny, who always sings STIKWITU soooooooo many times. Ohhhhh Donny! *rolling eyes*
From Gold Coast to Bayron Bay it took me about 1 hr 30 mins. But afterwards when we got there, i thought WOW...its worth of driving!
Beautiful beach! Nice people, and good weather. All will sume it up to GEWD!

DAY 5
Had not much plans in the 5th day as we just wanted to relax, cool down before going back to Sydney. So we just drove around the city. My friends went to the RIPLEY BELIEVE IT OR NOT, but i didnt as i have been there couple of times. And then we went in to the INFINITY which i think it was good, but far from what i had expected at that time.

After that, we still driving around till about 3.30pm, then went to the airport to catch 5pm plane to Sydney. Here's a story on the way to airport. We got caught by TRAFFIC JAM...and also WE WERE DRIVING in to the area...and its nearly 4.20pm. Actually we're supposed to be there at 4pm, and the latest one 's 4.30pm. Now, we only have around 10 mins to the aiport. Normally from city (GOLD COAST) to the airport it takes 30 - 40 mins. So the latest we 're supposed to get there if we start making our move from Gold coast at 3.30pm, is 4.10pm. Now, we're late around 10 mins.

I was bit stressing out myself, didnt wanna miss the plane as i got something else to do in Sydney after that. Ewwww........
Vera helped us to give some directions from the map. Arghhhhh finnally... arrived at the aiport 4.29pm. Hahahah...what a good one!

Then ran to the check in area, threw our lugggages there, and waiting in the boarding room.
After about 10 mins, we heard the announcement that our plane'd been delayed for about 20 mins. LOL

So we took off around 5 30pm
And got back in Sydn around 8pm.
Chris picked me up from the airport, and i went to Canberra to meet my dad's collegue who've just came from Indonesia.
Spend a day there in Canby and back to Sydney the next day.

Pheww what long journey but still enjoyable!

14th Feb 07

After looking here and there, finally we decided that we 're going to Macquirie Cemetery in Epping, Sydney.
First, we had lunch at TAKERU with Caecil, Vera, and Amel, then after that, just went straight to the cemetery by bus from Chatswood.

The situation and atmosphere there was good, and matches our criteria for our upcoming short movie DAUN, coz we need to take some scenes in the cemetery.
We spent 1.5 hrs there and then headed back to Olympic Park where we thought that we're going to have some scenes there for this movie. I dont know if we still gonna use that place, but Amel seemed to like that place.


Not long after that, we jumped on the train, heading off to Parramatta, to the Max Brenner as I really wanted to have Choco pizza that they have that night.
Felt soo ooooooo good afterwards. Hmmm *sighs*

The time was about 12ish, and i should call it a night.

Went home by taxi and it only cost me 20 bucks, the road was empty and we didnt have too many traffic lights. That was lucky!!

It was good...good...good!
