Whew, it's been a while

It's been a while since i last wrote a blog. I was kinda busy, with everyone telling me to hurry up and claim my university degree (aka. quickly graduate), so i tried my best not to dissapoint them.

i have a lot of writings to be posted actually, it's just that i forgot to bring it to the internet "waroeng". so here i am trying to write something that might interest you all.

I went to Simple Plan concert last weekend with friends. there were 5 of us. Not really watching the show, just hangin' out right outside the venue and listening to the music (not really clear tho', it's like listening to an old magnetic tape) and sightseeing. Two girl came to my attention at the side gate, both were white and quite gorgeous, BUT they came with their boyfrens i think. they left after "Welcome to my life" finished playing. We saw celebs too, Sarah Azhari and her sister Rahma came with a friend. A friend of mine says hi to Sarah, and she replied a quick "yes". Nice BooBS hehehehehehe just kidding, i don't really stare at her boobs :P

We went home after the show which SHOCKINGLY to us was more children than adults went to the concert. Makes me kinda wondering, are simple plan a KIDSBAND???? why kids love them more than adults??? Anyway, we went to WAFA afterwards (not know wafa? hello......where are you from? it's like.....a must to be known place to hang out and eat) to grab a bite or two. From Wafa we went home at around 11.30.

That was it, one time escaping my soooooooo veryyyyyyyyyyy DULL LIFE (of course watching movies and listening music are another ways to escape).

I'll be posting the chapter two of Diary Of A Normal Man soon enough. Until then........SEE YA

ROCK ON ROCK ON!!

Rock Girl

Sitting in a room with the T.V. on
My friend is there with me busy with his phone
Suddenly something attracts me
To increase the volume of the tele

A girl is singing and playing guitar
Her voice is so lovely sets my mind up far
Who could she be I ask me
She attracts me deeply like honey do bee

Her eyes strikingly gorgeous
This I am serious
The eyes of the rock girl
More beautiful than pearl

Avril Lavigne is the name so I see
At the end of the song that I wanted again to see
Starting that day I am a fan and always will be
Of the rock girl and the band that I saw on MTV

ROCK ON!!!

Mission Failed : The quest for Avril Lavigne Ticket

These Happened Yesterday..................
Gue ama temen gue naek motor kemaren siang buat beli tiket konser avril lavigne. Dari info yang gue dapet dari event organizer, katanya tiket udah bisa dibeli di semua outlet DiscTarra dan Tarra Megastore. Target pertama adalah Disc Tarra Hero Pondok Bambu. Sedikit pesimis sih, soalnya Disc Tarra di Hero rada kecil, jadi sempet bertanya-tanya dalam hati "Apa iya dijual disini?". Sebelom nyampe, kita isi bensin dulu. Pas banget itu hari pertama naeknya harga BBM. Karena antrean di Premium panjangnya minta ampun, akhirnya temen gue mutusin untuk ngisi Pertamax aja, toh harganya tinggal beda 1600 doang sekarang. Begitu nyampe, kita gak langsung ke Disc Tarra yang tempatnya di lantai 1, gue musti ambil duit dulu di ATM di lantai 2. Di Atm, antrean juga panjang, apa orang2 pada ngambil duit buat ngisi bensin ya? Lagi enak-enaknya ngantri, baru nyadar gue kalo antreannya gak bergerak untuk beberapa waktu. pas gue liat, gak taunya yang paling depan mau coba-coba masukin kartu ATM BRI ke mesin ATM BCA. Tapi dia coba berkali-kali itu kartu dimuntahin lagi sama mesinnya. Dalam hati gue mikir, "kok bego amat sih, namanya mesin sekali nolak ya bakalan nolak terus, ngelamain aja." Akhirnya orang yang dibelakangnya negur "Mbak, ga bisa tuh, coba cari Atm BRI aja, antrian panjang nih" Dengan muka cemberut akhirnya si mbak dengan temannya pergi (hey, kalo diinget-inget, mirip blognya ramza, long queue. bukan berarti nyontek lho dre, kebetulan aja pengalaman ngantri atm lo ma gue mirip). Setelah ngambil duit tambahan, baru deh kita turun ke DiscTarra. Dan ternyata tiket Avril Lavigne belum dijual.

Sebel? belom sih, kan masih banyak DiscTarra yang belom dicoba. Target kedua DiscTarra Arion Rawamangun. Biarpun lebih kecil daripada DiscTarra Hero, tapi karena di mal, kita lebih pede kalo disini dijual. "Mas, tiket Avril Lavigne ada?" "Avril? belom tuh mas, adanya Simple plan sama Cake" "Lho, kata Java Musikindo udah ada di semua DiscTarra" "Oh gitu ya? Belum ada tuh mas. Gini aja deh, mas tinggalin aja nomor telepon, nanti kalau ada saya telepon mas" "Bisa mas ya? iya deh" Akhirnya gue cuma ninggalin nomor telepon ke mas-mas di kasir (gue selalu lupa ngeliat nama orang di ID card, padahal kan penting juga untuk tahu nama orang lain).

Udah mulai sebel? iya!! Sebel soalnya gue mulai cape muter-muter jakarta di cuaca panas. sebel juga soalnya gue ngerasa dibohongin sama operator telepon Event organizer (yang namanya lagi-lagi lupa gue tanya). Anyway, target berikut Tarra Megastore Kelapa Gading Mal. Repot juga ke MKG, soalnya parkir motor seolah dikucilkan, jauh dari lokasi mal. Sampai di Tarra, gantian temen gue yang nanya ke kasir. Kasirnya bilang "Java belum hubungi kita tuh mas soal Avril. mungkin bulan april nanti baru ada" dalam hati gue "HAH!?! Gak salah tuh? konsernya kan tanggal 4 april, kok tiketnya baru dijual bulan april? salah kali nih orang".

Akhirnya dengan tubuh lumayan pegel dan perut laper, kita mutusin buat pulang aja. Sebelum pulang sempet juga sih makan di warteg langganan, trus ke warnet yang Minta Ampun LEMOTNYAAAAA!!!! Satu jam cuma buat signup photobucket, ngapus email, en friendster sebentar. aduh, kok masih ada ya warnet lemot begitu?? untung murah, coba kalo mahal, gue pecahin tuh monitor (gak sampe segitu juga sih, gue kan taat hukum).

Sampai di rumah, gue nelpon event organizer buat bilangin kalo gue udah muter-muter jakarta, ke sekian tempat DiscTarra, tapi ternyata belum dijual. Operatornya (habis gue gak tau namanya) ngoper gue ke seorang wanita yang kayanya lebih ngerti soal penjualan tiket. Si Mbak (duuh, kenapa sih gue pikun nanya nama?) nyaranin buat nelpon ke DiscTarra langsung, sementara dia juga konfirmasi ke DiscTarra. Dan akhirnya, DiscTarra phone operator cabang hero Kebon jeruk bilang "Tiket sudah bisa dibeli di seluruh cabang DiscTarra mulai besok"

So here i am with Avril Lavigne Ticket in my hand, sharing my story, telling you all to never quit on something you like. Keep trying and you will get it eventually.
