Minggu I

Waks.. rasanya secara general, minggu pertama kuliah inten ga berjalan dengan sukses..hiks..

Bayangin ajah, cuma 4 subjects (ceile..cuma yach?!) saben hari 1 subject, tiap subject mesti baca preparation reading yach 20 ampe 40 halaman..gedublak gombrang ga sich...!!! dan inten cuma bisa baca kira2 1/4 ato max 1/2 nya ajah..bukan karna kemampuan cuma bisa segitu tapi apa daya kemauan tidak mendukung..hwuahahaha..hal itu menyebabkan mata cepat lelah alias ngantuk, perut cepat kosong alias laper en otak cepat tumpul alias dodol sehingga ga ada satupun dari huruf2 itu bisa tersimpan di dalamnya..

Selain itu, baru juga ketemu sekali dan baru kenalan, eh para dosen terhormat itu sudah iseng ngasih tugas yang notabene tenggat waktunya ga masuk akal..ck..ck..ck..akibatnya, inten mesti tunggang langgang nyari temen buat tugas kelompok padahal blum ada yang kenal (mana bahasanya pake bahasa tarzan gituh..) eh, sekalinya dapet temen sekelompok..ribet banget nyamain jadwal yang acakadut beda2 ga karuan..weladalah..entah bagaimana nasib tugasku itu..

Eh, timbul lagi satu masalah..ada satu subject yang pas baru masuk langsung krasa klo tuh subject 100% bukan belahan hati inten..ehem..bukan masalah dosennya yang gendut banget n ga bisa bicara dengan baek (hmmm..klo dipikir2 hal itu 25% ikut mengambil peranan dech..)..bukan karna itu (aja) tapi karna emang subjectnya bukan inten banget..weks..mesti cepet2 cari belahan hati laen nich..

Yach, gini ini klo ngrasain sekolah (lagi) setelah beberapa waktu bebas lepas terbang melayang tak tentu arah dari yang namanya belajar..bwekekeekekekek...
Selamet hang over dech..hwuahahahahaha..

Books

 "Books are the blessed chloroform of the mind"
..: Robert Chambers (1802-1871) :..
 
In the last two days, i've been busy searching books for my subjects..

As soon as I bought every book, makes me realize how hard my study will be..
I have to read a very thick books with very little letters..
And at least 30 pages text reading every night..
One question poped up in my head, is it really useful..???!
To read all of those things...???!!
Maybe it is...
My brain has freezed for a long time..
I must feed up my mind..
I have to relieve myself..
And ligthen up my life... 
"A book should serve as an axe to the ice inside us."
..: Franz Kafka (1883-1924) :..

YIMSA

At last,in the world of non-moslem..I found an Islamic society and not only that,it's an Idonesian moslem society..YIMSA (Young Indonesian Muslim Students Association),an Islamic association of Melbourne's Indonesian youth.I came to the YIMSA event yesterday,it was an event to honored moslem's brothers and sisters from Adelaide.There was an Islamic dawah about Islamic Brotherhood,I realy enjoyed it and I do feel the joyful of joining the brotherhood..It makes me remember and more understand my religion happily by having friends with the same faith.
We learn about Islam not in a stressly way but in fun.. :))
YIMSA
He deserves Paradise who makes his companions laugh

But when her anonymous cyber soul mate turns out to be her high school's über-popular quarterback Austin Ames (Chad Michael Murray), Sam makes a mad dash back to reality, leaving her cell phone behind just before the clock strikes midnight. Fearing rejection if her secret is revealed, Sam dodges Austin's efforts to discover the identity of his princess.

NGV


A few days ago, i went to NGV (National Gallery of Victoria).. To b honest, i didn't understand the meaning of paintings they called "abstract".. ;) For me, it's enough to enjoyed the colour of it.. Those painters created a very great colour combination.. :))

Life..
so colorful with millions of choices
from the very bright color of joyful way
until the very dark color of gloomy way
each human has their own rainbow

lets hope that each of us will choose the correct color
and pace on our happily path

Love

"Love is being stupid together."
- Paul Valery (1871 - 1945) -


Sometimes, i juz wanna laugh on me..
coz i've become so stupid to b in love wit him.
Sometimes, i juz wanna laugh on him..
coz he's become so stupid to b in love wit me.
But then, we are laughing happily together..
when we realize that we are so stupidly in love.

Friends

"When I find myself fading, I close my eyes and realize my friends are my energy."
- Anon -








More than any time
in history mankind
faces a crossroads.
One path leads to despair
and utter hopelessness,
the other to total extinction.
Let us pray that we have
the wisdom to choose correctly.

..:Woody Allen:..

What the inner voice says
will not dissapoint
the hoping soul
