Recess week day 1

Finally I can sit back in my room with my Apple in front of me. XD Hari ini adalah hari recess resmi pertama!!! Yeaaaa….!!!! You don’t know how glad I am to have a recess even for a week.

Anyway, hari ini merupakan salah satu hari yg cukup sibuk tapi cukup santai lah berhubung Sabtu kemaren g baru midterm test buat intro econs. Lumayan lah tesnya, ga susah2 amat. *soalnya ud tanya2 dulu. huahaha.* Nah, di midterm g kemaren ada pertanyaan essay. Intinya sekarang kejadian ky Great Depression ud hampir ga mungkin tapi ga menutup kemungkinan itu ga bakal kejadian lagi. Apa kira2 yg bisa bikin itu terjadi lagi di masa2 sekarang? Dan g menemukan jawabannya hari ini.

Barusan g buka yahoo finance *cieeeehhh, mainan lu canggih bener, dwin* dan pertama g buka itu g cukup kaget. Dow Jones Index di US turun sampe ke titik terendah selama 4 taun terakhir. Menurut si bule yg jadi prof g di kelas econs, ini adalah pertanda buruk. Orang2 di US mulai takut jadi mereka jual stock yg mereka punya dan pindah ke gov bond yg relatif lebih aman. Ckckck. I don’t know what’s wrong with this world.

Oke, cukup ngomong econs nya. Pokonya hari ini hari istirahat g yg pertama and I quite enjoyed it. Semua bermula dari meeting g di pagi hari tadi. Can you imagine meeting in a recess week at 9am? 9 as in NINE-AM-ON-MY-FIRST-DAY-OF-FREAKIN-RECESS!!! Huaaahhhh… Jadi tadi g bangun jam 8 pagi trus cabut ke kampus sambil bawa bass g.

G ud memikirkan mau sarapan apa buat tadi pagi dari kemaren malem. Huahahha. Seriously, I wanted to have something different for my breakfast. G mau coba makan ikan mentah ma susu kambing tapi kynya itu barbar jadi g beli Mr Bean di kampus. Mereka punya student deal buat anak SMU. Jadi dengan $2 bisa dapet pancake ma soya bean milk. Sebelum ini g ga suka susu kedele tapi ternyata it tastes quite good lah. Not really that bad.

Trus g langsung meeting. Itu ud jam 9.05 dan g kira g ud telat. Eh, ternyata g yg paling pagi dateng. Tau gitu g ke Batam dulu baru ke kampus biar rada telat. Ga berapa lama mulai deh dateng group mates g dan kita mulai meeting. I felt quite bad about the meeting, like I didn’t contribute enough. Shyt. I have to be more participative.

Meeting g berlanjut dari satu itu ke yg lain lagi. Not much different, malah g makin banyak diem. Ga tau kenapa susah bgt buat g buat bisa diskusi terbuka gitu. Fcuk! What’s wrong with me? Padahal g berharap bisa jadi orang yg pinter ngomong. Ternyata itu bukan hal yg gampang. G orang yg percaya kl emang ada orang2 yg terlahir dengan bakat tertentu. I just don’t know what I’m good at. Another fcuk.

Back to topic, abis meeting kedua g langsung pindah ke studio dan ngejam. Woohoo!!! Music is really a cure for a not-too-much-fun day. I miss standing on the stage and just rock like crazy. Just bang your head, jump around, scream to the mic, kick your bandmate’s balls *jangan dilakukan!*. I wanna get back to that time when I was able to just rock out and have some real fun. The feeling you get is just damn good. Yeaaaa…!!!

Finished the jam, had some dinner, went to Funan. Rencananya g mau beli headset. G liat di internet harganya sekitar $50. I can live with that price but when I came to the store, the actual price was $7-freakin-9! So damn expensive!!! Gila bgt orang sini ngasi harga. Ky mau bikin bangkrut trus ditinggal ma istri ma anak. Mending g tunggu beberapa bulan lagi trus g beli di indo. Hope I can buy one.

I guess it’s a wrap for today. I need to get a shower. Take care, you all!

Huaahhh…

Aduh, cape nih g. Penasaran g ngapain aja hari ini? Jawabannya: G GA NGAPA2IN. What I did actually was reading some articles. Beresin pr juga sih tapi g bener2 males beresin tu pr. Bukan karena apa2 tapi karena g ga gitu bisa ngerjainnya. Huaaaaahhh….

Sekarang g cape, ga pengen nulis apa2, Fernando Alonso menang GP SG yg pertama.

See you all later!

Okay, I forget the title but here’s Part Two!

Morning!

Just woke up about 30 mins ago, got rid of my dizziness. Is it dizziness or dizzines? My grammar sucks sometimes. Why did those who invented English even bother to put one or two ‘s’? What the hell. Let’s continue this!

Thirdly, those F1 racers passed by just near my school!

I went to City Hall area yesterday with Maya, Andrew and Hans. We hung out there which is only a few hundred metres away from the F1 track! *Cafe Cartel’s Iced Coffee Moo Moo is nice* I could hear the roaring engine. Damn! It made me wanna mug someone for their F1 ticket. *I didn’t mug anyone if that’s the truth you’re looking for* One thing for sure, the ambience of the race made everything different. People from all around the world are in SG now, I suppose. Even yesterday I saw a man holding the Finnish flag. Hey Kimi, you gotta win for this guy! XD Everybody was just so excited about this race. I think I can sneak away and peek the race tonight. Let’s just see. 

Lesson #4: grab a ticket for the next F1, or grab someone on the road and then grab his ticket. Yeaaa, I’m the devil! XD

Fourthly, I bought myself a birthday present.

Funny ain’t it? I bought something for MYSELF. Tita and I went to the cathedral yesterday and then we caught up with Athina, Maya, Hans and Andrew at Orchard Rd. They just finished dinner when we came so we walked around a bit. There is this department store in which they have a section for stationery etc. They sell wallets, bags, pencil cases, stuffs like that. Then, Athina showed me a passport sleeve which Maya showed her earlier. It was cute. It was just a passport sleeve in purple, but the writings in its cover was damn cool. It said ‘Get you own passport sleeve, you b*tch’. XD I can’t imagine going to the immigration gate and passing my passport to the officer. Hahaha. *please don’t detain me for that* It was cool so I bought THE LAST PIECE for myself. Now, I’m gonna be a real devil at the airport.

Lesson #5: never ever EVER call a woman in immigration office uniform a b*tch.

That’s about it. Yesterday was one of the most experiencing weekend I ever had. I just love Saturdays. It’s like the only day I can feel really really free cos the next day is Sunday, still a holiday. A few years from now I think I’m gonna miss this kind of weekend, which I could spend with my friends, having fun, doing nothing. Like your life is so simple. But it’s not. Damn…

Okay, it’s almost 10 am here. Still got a lot of things to do. My laundry is still in the washing machine, have a quiz for calculus on Tuesday and some other things. Gonna be just another busy week. Wish I could write again this week.

Until then, the devil and his Apple sign out. Have a blast weekend, guys!

Cheers!

Went to the sea, feel the ambience of the race, bought a birthday present for myself (Part One)

Whoa, I’m damn tired now. But I still wanna spend some time to write this. Hahaha.

So basically, today is quite a day. I had some new experiences, met some new people, ate something different and so on. Damn, I’m feeling dizzy now. Never mind. XD Let’s write!

First thing’s first. *is that how you write it?* Woke up at 6.50 am this morning. SIX FIFTY IN A FREAKIN’ SATURDAY MORNING!!! I slept like almost at 1 am and then I have to wake up at 6.50. It’s not even 7! Can you imagine that? The reason was I have to be at Tuas at 9 am. For those who doesn’t know where is Tuas, it’s actually in Singapore. I live near the city so it was like travelling from the heart of SG to the west end of the island. But I suppose it wasn’t that problematic compared to the experience I got.

Firstly, I waited at the wrong taxi stand.

I felt so retarded! The sailing guys wanted to meet at the taxi stand at Boon Lay station. So I went to Boon Lay, got out of the station and followed the directory to the taxi stand. I waited for like 5 mins or so and then my friend came. Then another one came, and soon another one. We have four people now and we still didn’t know that we were at the wrong taxi stand until one of my friend called me and said he saw one of the seniors. Damn, I was at the wrong taxi stand!!! Anyway, as we already had four people so we decided to just get a cab and head to the marina.

Lesson #1: wait at the right taxi stand, or just make your friends come to the wrong taxi stand so that you’re at the wrong taxi stand together.

Secondly, I had my first sailing experience.

Now, the four of the lost people-of-the-wrong-taxi-stand arrived at the marina IN ONE PIECE. *thank God the taxi driver wasn’t a serial killer* We went to the meeting place and got briefed and so forth. They have so many terms and names for the stuffs on the boat. Can’t really remember all of them. Finally, we headed to the sea. Yeaaaa!!!! We were sailing on a keelboat, a boat with a keel under it. *what a good explanation* It was a team activity so the six of us on the boat must work together to move the boat. And to make sure it didn’t sink. They had different roles in sailing and my first one is the mast. I was in charge of the mast (the pole) and the main sail. One thing I notice from this role: you need a light ass to be a mast. XD I mean it. Because we have to balance the ship by sitting on the edge of the boat and when the boat is changing direction, we also have to switch position to the other side of the boat. What happened to me was, as I was trying to move my butt as fast as I could, I scratch my pinky! Didn’t hurt much back then but it sure hurt when I took a shower. But overall, sailing is fun! You should try it. Just need to get a hang of it.

Lesson #2: if you wanna be a damn good mast, work on your ass first.

Lesson #3: don’t write a blog when you’re feeling like you’re on a keelboat.

Damn, suddenly I feel dizzier. Don’t know what’s wrong, though. Guess I better head to bed and finish this thing tomorrow. Hope nothing’s wrong with me. See you all!

 

To be continued…

My body is killing me…

Finally I have some time to spend to write all these nonsense Haha. Hari ini umur g ud 20 taun & 2 hari. Yeaaaa…!!!! *segitu bangganya, dwin?* But one thing for sure: my body aches like shyt. XD

Kemaren g ikutan physical training (PT) buat sailing club. Happening abis g sampe ikut sailing club. Ever wondered why I joined the club? Simply because I wanna try something new. Also because I can sail in the sea. *ya iyalah* Jadi tiap hari Rabu kita anak2 sailing pada PT gitu. Kemaren kebeneran dapet gym training. Sebenernya ya kita work out aja layaknya orang2 biasa. Masalahnya g SAMA SEKALI belum pernah nge-gym. Betul sekali, g SAMA SEKALI belum pernah nge-gym. Lu boleh deh bilang g kampungan, pemalesan, ga gaul ato apapun. Pokonya g bukan gay!!! *loh?*

Balik ke topik. PT kemaren buat g jadi kerasa cukup berat, apalagi ditambah itu pertama kalinya g work out. Oyah, level nge-gym g hampir sama ma level nge-gym senior g yg CW!!! Perlu g eja? W-A-N-I-T-A!!! OMG… G merasa kodrat g sebagai laki2 turun setengah tingkat. T.T Tapi tenang! Cowo selalu punya pembelaan untuk mempertahankan harga dirinya. Dan pembelaan g sekarang adalah… dia cowo yg ganti kelamin!!! Ya ngga lah! Tu cw anak dragon boat team. *buat yg ga tau, dragon boat adalah perahu naga* Kynya wajar2 aja kl dia ampir sama kuat ma g. Or maybe she IS stronger than I am. Huaaahhh…

That’s the working out part. Abis nge-gym, kita pindah lokasi dari gym *masa dari gudang* ke yg namanya T-junction. Itu adalah satu spot di kampus g di mana ada pertigaan jalan berbentuk huruf T. DI sana kita main yg namanya captain’s ball. Basically itu mirip ma basket. Bedanya kita ga pake ring tapi ada satu orang dari masing2 tim berdiri di atas bangku di kedua ujung lapangan. Cara mainnya juga ga beda jauh ma basket cuma kita ga boleh dribble bola. Kita harus oper2an terus. Trus kl kita mau ngeskor tinggal oper aja bolanya ke temen kita yg berdiri di atas bangku tadi. Gitu. It’s fun actually.

So, now you guys know why I feel like my body is falling apart. My chest aches the most. Kynya kemaren g sok gaya pake beban keberatan. *bilang aja ga mau disamain ma beban cw XD* Trus kynya efek kecapean g sampe kebawa2 pas g tidur kemaren. G sempet kebangun jam 2an gitu kynya. Sekarang g bener2 kurang tidur.

Owh, one more thing. Tadi g balik ke kost buat ngambil baju renang & guess what, G GA BAWA KUNCI KAMAR. Betapa retardednya g. *g confess diri g retarded. puas lu, Thin? XD* Untungnya yg manage hostel g masih ada di kantor jadi g bisa minta tolong dia buat bukain kamar g. Kl ga ya g terpaksa mengulang kebodohan g bersama Hiubert, roomate g, beberapa minggu lalu. Kita berdua keluar kamar tanpa ada yg bawa kunci. Soooooo retarded…

Adoooohhhh, masih banyak kerjaan nih g. Mana minggu depan g ada midterm test buat intro econs. 15 chapter!!! G eja nih: 1-5-c-e-p-t-e-r. Prof g emg rada gila. Tapi intinya hari ini g cukup enjoy. Not a bad day at all biarpun g rada ga enak ma temen g. At least she didn’t complain to me. She didn’t even talk to me. Hahaha… Hope this is not a bad sign.

The devil & his Apple signing out!

Some Intro

Hey all!

How you all been? Actually, I don’t really know who reads my blog so I guess there’s no harm in doing a little intro.

The name’s Aldwin. Most of my friends in my uni call me Gerard. It’s totally up to you which name you prefer to call me, as long as you don’t call me when I’m sleeping. *nice try* This is my first time EVER writing a blog. I have no idea how this is gonna work but I think I’ll just write what I want and feel.

More to tell about me, I love music. I L-O-V-E music! I enjoy listening to most kinds of music but my favorite one is pop-punk with a little touch of screamo. Most people probably don’t now a thing about that kind of music. Some even hate it and call it emo. The fact is: I don’t give a damn about it! Emo is a part of me and I’m proud of that! Oh yeah, I play bass in some bands. The energy when you play, the sound of people cheering you, the eyes watching every move you make. Damn! I just love it to stand on the stage and play for them.

Wow, it’s already 10.59 and I haven’t finished my reading for tomorrow’s lecture. Maybe it’s just a superficial intro and you still don’t know who I am but while you’re reading this, you’re gonna know more about me.

Those are a few things about the Devil, written on his Apple.
