So I'm back home now, as in my kampung! and I'm so glad that I'm back. Home is the best place I can be. But there's one thing that bothers me, always. I have a lot of issues with my mom. And the minute I came back, that's the time I started to feel the aura of a commander. Why? Here's why. I really think that my mom is a little bit... how to describe it accurately.... well.. authoritarian if you will. So in my house, I always here sentences like "wake up!", "clean the dishes", or "drink your juice". The thing is, I was gonna do it, but she acted like I won't do it. She also enrolled my brother into several private courses and 'forced' him to play the musical keyboard every night. and I know that my brother doesn't like it even though he is pretty good at it. So I started to realise that my mom can't go a minute without giving orders to someone. It's true! She will always find something to give someone work to do, and it's not because we are not gonna do it, it's just a habit. among all my siblings, I consider myself to be the most rebellious child in the family. So I always say things like "I'll do it if u ask me politely" or "ow mom, I'm about to do it but u make me not wanna". LOL yeah. I think she thinks I hate her. But I do not! Well.. maybe a little annoyed but not that extreme. So at one point I talked to my sister.
"you know what I just realised?" I said
"what is it?" she replied
"I think I believe in reincarnation now"
"Why so?" she asked in confusion
"I think our mom was Adlof Hitler in her previous life!" I answered firmly
"..... you're going to hell you know" she ended
Well... I think I'm going there anyway
what happened in melbourne, stays in melbourne
yeah im back from melbourne, just so u know, i went there to meet chandra, one of my best pal when i was in sunway. he came there for convocation. its been a long time that i didnt meet him and i gotta admit.. it felt really good meeting my old buddy, or pal or bro or whatever, so TOMMY PUTRA SURYAWAN LAIS, if u read this, come n we'll rock the city mate!.. anyway, i prefer to address chandra as MY WING MAN.. thats right.. he is indeed a good wing man.. i remember we went to clubbing only both of us in KL only to meet up with hotties.. lol..
so what we did in melbourne?
i arrived in melbourne airport on june 4th 12.05 am midnight. hell yea it was so damn cold in there. its foggy during the week and i didnt see sun until the last day of my trip. so i arrived there, and my other bros, picked me up at the train station. and guess where our first destination was?
yeah!! its mens gallery gentlemen's club.. for those of u who are not familiar with this term, just call it strip club. yeah, we went there and had couple of drinks, lots of chat, and some lap dances till 4am.. and we met some drunken ppl at the restaurant and some funny stories happened there as they offered us to go to watch them in a jazz performance the next day, but we rejected it, politely.
the next day, we went to casino, where chandra played and lost! haha too bad man! anyway, around 9 pm we decided to go to another strip club.. lol basically thats what we did.. so we took train, but after we stopped in a station, i got stomach ache and we decided to look for nearest bar for toilet. so we went to a bar and borrow the toilet. after we re done and ready, there was a show in the bar. there's a show girl there!! so i said, "lets enjoy here first, it's free anyway" so we bought 2 coronas and CHEERS! for free dirty dancing. lol.. the funny thing is.. the bar is old, i couldnt even lock the door when i was in the toilet coz its so damn damaged. there are some game machine and some pool table. i was 1 year in melbourne but i never felt like i was in melbourne, in that bar, however, i felt like im really overseas. thats true, the bar may not be fancy, but its awesome. made u feel like u re overseas, only 10 ppl was there and we enjoyed the show.
and we spent the night at my friends place and we had a lot to talk about.. omg how much i m gonna miss this moment. maybe because in god coast, i have too many girl friends. maybe because i rarely go out with guys here. or maybe because all the guys i met here are not yet a "wingman" type of guy. honestly, i enjoyed my life here, but i havent felt a really good guys night out here. i mean.. there are lots of bachelors places around gold coast but we never tried there. i guess bachelor friends here are not cool enough.. or maybe i havent found one? probably.. so far, i am hanging out with some pretentious guys who r only thinking on how to impress girls but hell they suck at that.
anyway, right after chandra left, i spent some times with my old friends, and we went to this place.
looks good isnt it? its a warehouse that was converted into a cafe and bar. it looks vintage and old but it kinda done the trick. it looks awesome, unique and people seem to like it. it was full house when i went there but we managed to get a seat. and the best thing is, they have lots kinds of vintage beer. from cider, pilsner, pale ale to bright ale. it was awesome! we tried all the beers with small glasses. it tasted really nice
it was a nice experience, i might wanna go there again someday. ow, and i had churros too. its some kind of flour wafer stick with chocolate dipping sauce.. yummyyyy!!
haha anyway, melbourne at this time is so cold, i had to wear double jackets
it was around 3-9 degrees so i might wanna go there during october or november, probably for someones' graduation. so, anyone in? i'll buy u a lap dance ;p

start a day with a cup of coffee, and think positively :)
i hate it when people complained about how bad their life is. i know that human have the tendency to never feel satisfied. when they achieve something they want more. thats good, i called it DETERMINATION. but people who complained and say stuffs like "why my dad isnt a millionaire?" or "im not rich okay?" or "oh i hate that i have to go to uni today, i wish i have a car"
honestly, my dad is not that rich either. but he is a very determined guy and a very positive man. he taught me how to save money and how to get what i wanted with my own hard work, and how to start a day with a positive mind. why do u complain when ur house is so damn big and ur dad is doing international business?
if u measure everything with money, trust me, u'll never get what u expect. money is not priority, happiness in life is. its about how u live it the way u are capable of. its about being positive. trust me.. when u think negatively about something, u'll become paranoid and its gonna happen the way u expected it to happen.
here is something that inspired me:
when i was in melbourne, i used to take train from melbourne central (city) to berwick (my campus).. it took the train about 55 mins to reach my campus.. in winter, its really hard for me to wake up and get ready to go to uni. i felt cold, lazy and always thought negatively like "ow crap, im gonna miss the train anyway" but i forced myself to go anyway. so i walked from my apartment to melbourne central, it takes about 7 mins to walk there. when i reached melbourne central, i always saw this homeless guy.. selling out magazines to the people.. he always smiled. he is about.. 50-60 years old or something. it was so freakin cold, probably 7-11 degree celcius. he greeted everyone and wished a great day to everyone that passed by the street while promoting the magazines. "hey buddy how r u doing today?" "hello ladies, have a great day" "hi sir, how are ya?" "hello mate, gday!"
i couldnt resist but buying the magazine. it cost me 5 dollars (i think, i kinda forgot) but i felt like i started a day with a good deeds. and i asked him "sorry mate, but.. why r u so happy? is something good happened to u?"
he answered me "i am always happy, there's nothing good happened but thats not a reason to become unhappy knowing that with this kind of feeling, something ggod will happen. u know kiddo (hell yea he called me kiddo), some people are just ungrateful for what they have. i just need a cup of coffee per day to be happy"
i was shell shocked, ashamed of myself of complaining about what i have when some that unlucky, can be that happy. i saw him almost everyday and i always say hi and he always smiled back at me.. EVERYDAY! that homeless guy made my day, and im trying to stay positive everyday.
so folks, drink coffee, think positively ;)
did u know: Coffee actually contains important anti-oxidants, which is the way most Americans get there daily fix. Coffee can be beneficial at about 1-2 cups per day.

by mocca
if you got an eerie feeling after hanging up the phone
sort of happy feeling but you're not sure what it's called
if you're haunted by his face whenever you're asleep at night
and think you hear his silly voice just calling out your name
oh, no! I think i'm in love with you..
on, no! i'm hoping you'll want me too
so, please..don;t let me down!
http://www.free-lyrics.org
just can't help but talk about him in every conversation
till your friends are sick and tired of that same old crap
if you start wearing make up even when you go to bed
and crying like a baby when you hear a mellow song
people come n go
well im not used to it.. definitely i experienced farewel before.. my friends, my family or my loved ones.. it's not pretty but i know i will meet them again one day which makes me ok.. but its not the case with the one i m feeling now.. i might not see her anymore.. should i just let go? i dont know.. one ever told me that people come n go, u just have to get used to it.. thats true.. u feel painful deep down in your heart but u just have to accept that its only your ego wanting them to stay for u.. people have their own life...which is why im trying to let go.. but i never realized that letting go knowing that u'll never meet again is the most painful thing u will ever experienced in social life.
whatever, i will survive
the hangover
my blog was quite dead.. i went back to indonesia and the internet wasnt that good.. when i got back to melbourne, i went for a road trip and finally, i moved to gold coast. just some story that i sum up short.
anyway, i am in gold coast now, doing my masters of business specialising in event management and tourism and hospitality management. long enough ey?
and last week was my easter break (happy easter!!) and we, me n my housemate, held quite a party in my apartment. ow btw, this is how my new room look like:
the closet
front door
my bathroom, shower n spa in it!!
here's the spa
living room
the kitchen
my closet
my closet
pretty good huh? i know!! the best things here are the private spa and the closet. but u know what? it happens to be no door in the bath room.. so... u know, it's kinda weird but whatevss..
so last easter break, we invited 20 of my friends to have bbq by the poolside, and have some drinks. ow, n they threw me to the pool btw.. showing some of their love? maybe.
we had lots of sausages, burgers, kebabs, skewers and all that for food. for beverages, and here's the biggie, 100 bottles of beer, cans of cokes, 4L of wine, and some bottles of spirit (vodka, tequila, rum)
drinking games.. n ice cream!!
some folks at the party
chef of the day
joker of the day
that's the beer!
so we had drinking games until like...2.30 am? and i was still awake till then. but this german guy, kiki said to me "yo dude, they re all wasted and this party is almost over, lets play 1 on 1 black jack with me" anddddd.. as a friendly host (and a dumbass loser), i accepted the challenge, everytime someone loses, they hv to drink 1 shot. that's right! that little shooter glass laughed at me and said "looser!"
i lost many times in a row, untill we finished all the spirits, i only had some baileys, galliano, kahlua, and grand marnier.. so we used those liqueurs for drinking games and we finished it!! great? no way. the next thing i know, i woke up in my room... NAKED.. thats right, naked!!
i woke up, my head felt so dizzy, and i saw a lot of stains from vomit in my room. my room was stink like shit. literally!
my friend called me and i asked "hey man, did u vomit in my room?" as i dressed myself up with a towel. he replied with laugh "it was u who vomit.. and btw, that was quite a show last night"
i was like "WHAT?? WHAT SHOW??" i went out of my room, checked all of the cameras to see what happened last night before i passed out. they said "nahh.. there's nothing in there.. u called a girl and said some shit in indonesian" "WHAT??"
so i checked my phone, and yeahh i called a korean girl and apparently i talked to her in indonesian. i didnt know what i said but.. let's just leave it there.. anyway here's what it looked like the morning after:
here are all the drinks we finished
what the hell happened to my kitchen?
it's all messy
that's the mess
guess where did i vomit?
from that time, they called me "angel" because i fell from the sky, with only towel around my waist.
cool huh? that was like.. the first and should be the worst hangover in my life..
believe me kids, don't drink and...
just don't drink too much, it's not gonna be good for your health
or your house the next morning
