Abis baca blognya Zach Braff, gw jd inspired buat nulis entry ini sebagai a stream of thought(s) [yg nulis blog ini kira dia seganteng zach braff.. padahal lebih mirip kyk onta kegiles bis ahahahah]

Pak Harto meninggal dunia. Ini sebenernya gak terlalu kaget, considering that he's been on life support for the last few weeks, and he's like 86. Jujur, gw lebih kaget pas tau Heath Ledger meninggal dunia ahahahahhahah. Abisnya siapa dong yg bakal mainin Joker di film batman ketiga? Anyway, tadi gw jg lg chatting ama tmn gw, terus dia nanya apakah gw sedih Pak Harto meninggal, and actually, yes. Sebulan yg lalu gw baca (dan namatin) biografinya Pak Harto, and it sort of changed how I view him. I mean, I grew up during early Reformasi, and I came to think that Pak Harto is a bad, bad man. And after reading that biography, I now think that maybe it wouldn't be wrong to see him as a simple, rural-raised man that has brought numerous changes to this country. For good or worse, the plebeians in this country actually loved him for what he was, and for what he did to them.

n.b. gw liat di kaskus ada thread ttg ini, replynya lebih dari 1600 post ahahahhhahahh gokil itung aja tuh, dia kan meninggal jam 1.10 siang hari minggu, terus sekarang jam 10.30 malem, itu berarti jeda 9 setengah jam.. berarti ada 2.8 post setiap menit ahahah ya 3 post lah per menit.. tadi aja jalanan sepiii.. kalo kata bokap gw, kayaknya org2 lg pada ke jl. cendana semua..

Tadi gw main paintball. Gw kena tembak di leher, tangan kanan, punggung, paha kanan dan rambut. Ok, mungkin gw emang gak jago main paintball, tapi gak ada salahnya nyoba2 niru Band of Brothers. Karena gw merasa badass bgt pas main tadi, gw udah yg sok2 teriak: "COVERING FIREEEE! GO GO GO GO!"

.. Padahal teriak2 kayak gitu dan lari2 ga jelas tanpa tujuan itu malah ngebikin gw tambah gampang ditembak ahahahahah

Lumayan jg sih, 90 ribu buat main 40 menit. Pelurunya aja mahal, 30 ribu buat 40 peluru. Tadi aja gw keluarin 120 peluru ahahahahah kyknya gw kebanyakan ntn film action.. makanya selalu teriak2 "covering fireee!" terus nembak kemana2 kyk rambo.. yg penting keliatan heboh ahahahah bego ah

Gw rabu kemarin ulang taun. I am now 20 years old. Terus kemarin2 ini, gw jadi sadar kalo gw udah 20 taun idup, dan belum ngapa2in. I'm 20 years old and I haven't been in a real fight. I'm 20 years old and I haven't backpacked to some random exotic places. I'm 20 years old and I haven't went to a strip club. So what to do? I don't know, I just want to make 2008 count. I want to make being 20 years old so awesome, that it can be the start of a kickass decade for me.

Minggu lalu, gw ntn nih band namanya Ran di citos. Dan sekarang gw ga bisa berhenti nyanyiin single mereka yang berjudul: "Pandangan Pertama". Liriknya sangat amat corny, tapi oh ni lagu gw bangeeet ahahahhaha gokil2.. gak disangka gw bisa migrasi dari band2 postrock yg sangat2 obscure.. jadi suka band2 kyk gini ahahah

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

Efek Rumah Kaca: super2 keren. Tadi pagi gw lg browsing facebook, trus tmen gw ada yg join grup namanya efek rumah kaca. Gw kira itu group yg promote environmentalist causes gitu ahahah secara gw anak earth science, gw kan jd penasaran, jd gw liat ni grup kyk gimana sih.. dan ternyata Efek Rumah Kaca tuh nama band indie-post-rock yg super2 keren ahahah. Gw taro linknya disini ah biar gak lupa hoho

n.b. soundnya kyk radiohead yg jaman2 the bends.. i.e. fake plastic trees gitu lah

Gw bentar lagi pulang ke Melb.. aaaa gak mau.. sial.. gw jd betah bgt disini ahahah kyknya gw bakalan kangen ama nyetir mobil sambil dengerin Minus The Bear.. you know that peaceful feeling? Like, when you feel all zen-up on the inside.. that calm and content feeling. No? Ternyata my 'happy place' itu ada ketika gw nyetir di tol lingkar luar Jakarta.. jam 11 malem.. Minus The Bear on my stereo.. tepatnya, lagunya MTB yg liriknya kyk gini:

it's been so long that it seems
that i've never danced with anyone
she moves so..
she moves so well

if we go outside
we can take in a haze of Roche Harbor light,
drink a bottle of red wine, forgetting to tell time
just sit still
we've moved enough.
