Nostalgia

It's not even funny that I had to ask somebody else to translate a paragraph of English to Indonesian for me. It seems as if I have lost the ability to do so. I mean, when I read something in English, no matter how difficult it is, I read it in English. Anyway, that made me feel weak. But not weak as in "Oh, I can't satisfy a woman!", but as in "Oh fuck I can't speak my mother tongue anymore. Noooo".

So anyway, moving on to another story. I was looking through my old subject notes. And by old, I mean, really, really old. These are lecture notes from my first day of uni. Do you know when you print out lecture notes and you want 6 slides to fit into one page? Well, I didn't know that when I got here, so up until my 2nd day of uni, I printed my lecture notes one slide per page. And there were 20 something slides for my first lecture, ever. It's Melbourne Uni, you gotta be hardcore, even on day one.

First year was a blur. Everything went by so quickly during that year.

I remember my first band practice in 2005. I can't remember playing any louder than that day. I was standing next to a drumset, the vocalist was screaming her heart out, I closed my eyes and there it was.. pretty much the best 6 seconds of my life.

I remember my first visit to St. Kilda. I ended up going there every Sunday. Sometimes alone, sometimes with a friend. But I was certain to go there every Sunday. I didn't have a camera back then. I wish I did. I made up for losing that opportunity by being hypocritical, and so I said "The best camera is up here, in your eyes and mind". Then I bought a camera and covered up my hypocrisy by saying "I've run out of memory".

I remember walking 6 miles with my 2 best friends to get from one end of Philip Island to the other. We took the first ferry there, and we took the last one home.

I'm not playing in a band anymore, nor do I go to St. Kilda that often nowadays, but everytime I remember about these things, man, it makes me all warm on the inside. Or maybe it's just the sheer amount of lubricants that I've been consuming in the last 72 hours to keep me warm.

Ha.

I can't believe I just wrote all that crap.

Anyway, have a good one. And stop writing stupid comments on my blog! Post links to good porn sites or something instead of writing whatever it is you've written on my blog entries.

So.. yeah.
