As the clocks ticking to my 17th birthday (yes it's 17! Yaaay I'm officially legal) and as 2010 approaches, there are many things I'd like to accomplish in 2010. So here is my wish list. Enjoy

I used to learn about hoarding back in the 10th grade when economics was still compulsory. It cited that hoarding was against the economics principle because you hoarded something rare and then you sold it with higher price simply because it was nearly extinct on the market.
When I tidied up my bedroom, I found some old belongings which I have never used from the day I bought those. I just realized that hoarding was my new temptation. Pretty silly.
Every human was naturally born as homo economicus. You have to consider the economical matters before doing something. For example, I am an avid fan of sale or store reduction, I even buy things only when they are on sale, even if I don't need it. Just to hoard it, in case I need it someday.

Hello pals I want to be very quick on this one so I don't mean to brag or be smug but I just wanna say that you can see the online version of Youthspeak, a supplement from The Jakarta Post where I usually write my article(s).


Here is the link: http://www.thejakartapost.com/youthspeak/

If you want to go straight to my articles, here are some:
Trick or Treat article (October 09)
Literature and silver screen article (October 09)

I think they haven't uploaded the latest edition, where I wrote an article about the vampire trend throughout the media. Don't forget to mention New Moon. OH-M-G

And actually I did attend the Youthspeak meeting at Sate House Senayan with the entire crew, it was great! I had a chance to know the people who work behind Youthspeak and I got the Jakarta Post readers card with lots of privileges and discount (talking about freebies, I got some!) I canceled my encounter for this, but it was worth attending to expand my networking.

Don't forget to attend Youthspeak Fun Day on November 22 at ISCI Ciputat! Meet lots of foreigners (including JIS students, I know you guys fancy them) and also RAN will be performing there! Be there! for more info, click here.

TTYL, got chemistry exam later on!

This is a poem that I wrote for English assignment, I should tell you I really can't write a poem, even in Indonesian. Metaphor, personification, or whatsoever, I just can't seem to understand. Guess I'm not likely to major in literature, simply because I can't write a poem and I always have a hard time to understand one.

It all starts with rhyming words

Which buzzing around in my mind like a group of bees

And as the clock ticks so swift

I crumble my 20^th paper and feel like a total spendthrift

Then I grab my 21^st paper of the day

And start to scribble down my dismay

But it didn’t turn out into a poetic writing

Instead it was just an illegible writing

Suddenly one hour just passed by

And I guess I should say bye-bye

Because I can’t write a poetry

Since I’m no Shakespeare, even if I try

Yesterday I was so excited for manchester united vs arsenal game so I asked my friends to wake me up as soon as the match kicked off. I was so grateful because I had indovision which now is the official broadcaster for bpl. I woke up before midnight and turned on the TV,and apparently the match had begun and I missed the first 30 minutes of the match. So I watched while chatting with my friends on msn and voila, russian starlet arshavin scored the 1st goal for arsenal and it was such a beautiful goal.
Then I watched the match in excitement, waiting for more goals from arsenal. Maybe the karma theory was right. Arsenal, which previously won 3-1 against celtic on champions league knock out round, had been criticizing because of the diving, performed by eduardo on the celtic match and news said that uefa will work on this case and eduardo will be fined if he was proven guilty. Wayne Rooney certainly performed diving last night and manuel almunia didn't do anything wrong or even a foul. Wayne Rooney manipulated the referee, Mike Riley,surely not a stranger to arsenal fans, regarding his unfair attitude during man utd vs. Arsenal match. Manutd got a penalty and unfortunately almunia wasn't able to block the shot, he was so young and had lack of experience when it comes to penalty, unlike the former keeper jens lehmann. 1-1
Then time passed by, and diaby made a tragic and fatal mistake. He made an own goal, which gave an advantage of manutd, gave them another point, 2-1.
Only 1 minute to go when arsenal striker and captain van persie scored a goal, but again, the ref said it was offside, no additional point for arsenal. And then it came, the final whistle, 2-1 for manutd.
Offside is always being an argument because it's very uncertain whether it is offside or not, well at some point it can be very clear, but last night, it was unclear whether it was an offside or not. The crowd went crazy as soon as the line referee raised the flag. And arsene wenger was so mad, he climbed and stood up in the midst of MU supporters, everyone knows how much he hates manutd
Manchester united got their victory by bestowal, while arsenal players were sweating on the pitch and doing their best. First it was a penalty, then an own goal, and an offside goal for arsenal.
Sometimes you can't always play safe and clean, you need to be a little bit harsh and play dirty to achieve your victory. And sometimes it will be very unfair, but you can't resist or return a gift, right? There are many rich people who claim their wealth using dirty approaches while middle class workers try so hard to strive to the top because they play nice and clean.
Sometimes life can be a bit (or very) unfair
