Late in September, but not late to spill the beans of this month..

huh.. dah lama dude, gak mampir ke blog dan nyumbang tulisan tentang diri sendiri (narcissus's heir :D). Tau gak alasannya kenapa? Gara-gara gue pundung sama blogger. Huwahahaha.. Udah nulis panjang-panjang, entah tanggal berapa, tapi semua hilang lenyap, bo.. Pundung dengan memboikot, but certainly not the cleverest idea.

Anyway, so many stories this September. Had noted them down along the way in my journal tho.. so in a short period of time, you can witness them here. Tee hee..

But before that, enjoy this wet wet wet week!

time to come out of shell :)

Okkaay... It's September, and this month.. I'll be writing this blog in my mother tongue language.. Bahasa Indonesia. Hahaha.. Coba-coba ah, kali aja bisa lancar juga..

Bulan ini sepertinya gue akan mengalamin banyak hal. Selain gue tidak latian gamelan sebulanan ini (hmm.. either I'ma miss it or love it), gue juga rutin dong ke latihan paduan suara (that's a certain love it), Studienarbeit mulai - mungkin scary, dan the Apprentice 2 starts on 9th. Hehehe..

Okkay, September dimulai dengan sesuatu yang gak terlalu istimewa. Hari Rabu. Apaa coba. But anyway, hari Rabu berarti hari latihan paduan suara. Hurree.. Hari ini juga, gue diundang sama Mbak Dyah buat dateng ke rumahnya. Dia bilang, dia punya sort of open house di rumahnya gara-gara konser kemaren di rumahnya eh di Musikhalle suxes. Ukuran dia la ya..

Went there by myself, abisan gak tau mau ngajak siapa. Bayangin. Gue dari gym sebelom berangkat ke Mbak Dyah.. Which was kemungkinannya gak ketemu siapa-siapa dong. Udah gitu, gue gak tau siapa yang tau Mbak Dyah.. Si Bule gue gak tau kontaknya. Ya sudahlah pergi sendiri aja. Dengan nekat nyari Martinistrasse 22. Hehehe..

Dari gym.. naek bis (14 S Harburg Rathaus).. naek kereta (S3 Jungfernstieg - U1 Kellinghusenstrasse).. naek bus (22 Eppendorfer Markt), dan jalan kaki (Martinistrasse 22). Guess what.. GUE NYASAR!! Huwwwaaa.. bingung, panas, sedih, panik, BT. Hehehe.. Panik doang sih, soalnya kan gue musti cabut lagi sesegera mungkin ke paduan suara.

Sumpah abis turun dari bus bingung banget nyari belokannya. Udah gitu gue agak-agak sial pula. Jadi gue pertama belok di belokan yang salah (thanks to the cute creature that I stalked, tee hee hee), begitu sadar, nyoba cari belokan yang bener, terus jalan di sisi jalan yang salah, dan anehnya kayak di Sudirman, pembatas jalannya dipagerin. Huwwaa.. Muttteeerrrr jauh, hanya buat ngeliat nama Bewohner di apartemen no. 22 gak ada Mbak Dyah. Jebweewww..

Mikir lagi.. Coba-coba berteori, kalo jalan ini bukan Martini, berarti jalan itu yang Martini. Hopefully bener.. Dan akhirnya bener juga. Phew.. Got up there, chit chatin'.. Muakannn!! Hahaha..

Ketemu sama 'Mutti'nya Mbak Dyah.. hehehe.. Papasan sama Mbak Mila on her way out, dan makan dengan puas. Pas makan, nemenin Muttinya Mbak Dyah ngobrol.. Wuih.. She got a LOT to talk about, dude.. Anyway she complimented my English again and again, but, get this, dia bilang cara gue ngomong Inggris seperti orang Jerman ngomong Inggris. Hehehe..

Di tengah ngobral ngobrol, bel berbunyi (ya ampun bahasanya) ternyata.. Agus dan Maulana! Kok gak bilang-bilang sih mau ke sini juga? (Jelas-jelas gue yang gak bilang-bilang).. Ngeliat jam tangan, dan shock ngeliat udah jam 7 kurang 5. Huwwwaaa.. I must be get goin.. Buru-buru pamitan sama orang-orang, lari nyari bus ke Kellinghusenstrasse..

Dari Eppendorfer Markt ke Reeperbahn such an amazing race.. Missed the supposed bus. Bingung nyari gantinya. Soalnya kalo nunggu bis berikutnya pasti telat. Akhirnya ke Kellinghusenstrasse, dan milih-milih ke Jungfernstieg dan terus relay ke Reeperbahn, atau ke Landungsbrucken terus relay ke Reeperbahn? The latter might be better, jadi gue ke Landungs pake U3..

Gue dateng latihan telllaaatt.. Huuhuuhuu sedih deh.. Mudah-mudahan ini yang pertama dan terakhir kalinya gue telat. Yess.. Determined!!

Latihannya seperti biasa, menyenangkan.. Must break the ice the next time.. Biarpun hari ini dah lumayan, tapi minggu depan musti lebih open. Hehehe.. Bajunya kali ya.. Hahaha.. Dapet lagu baru, langsung rangking paling buncit. Nyebelin. Huh. Mana yang laen udah bisa pula lagunya. Bukan maen.. Tapi tetep seneng deh..

Pulangnya jalan ke S Bahnhof bareng Hana, who speaks really good German. Iya lah.. Back at home late, tidur, dan.. sampai besok..

how i love developing relationship.. (with television series)

As Carrie Bradshaw once said..

The most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself.

Well, I certainly had some relationship in life. Tapi satu yang mau gue bahas adalah relationship gue sama TV Series. Hehehe..

Hmm.. gue gak tau juga ya kenapa gue suka banget sama yang namanya television series. Watching them is totally different with watching movies. And I'm not sure which is better. It's just there is definitely something when you just can't wait of certain day of a week and dying to meet characters that you have sorta bonded with. But in the technology of DVD, home vids and TiVo era like right now, watching television series is not just waiting for an ep in an evening. Interesting..

Well, there is this series. And it's Queer as Folk. I would never dream that suatu hari gue bakalan nonton ini serial. Gue pikir, it's just odd, not my cup of tea, eventhough I am not against it. Well, Queer as Folk yang gue tonton itu season 3 (kalo gak salah), pusat ceritanya none other than bersirkulasi di sekitar 9-10 principal cast, and one of them is straight. Yup, cuma ada satu straight di principal cast.. yang lainnya gay. Most of 'em are gay men, two are gay women.

Anyhow, pertama nonton, kita berdelapan keketawaan, aja kerjaannya. I'm not sure if the guys had enough beers at that night to make 'em loaded, but I'm pretty sure that they were not drunk. Uncomfortable? That's a possibility. Cuma gue yang duduk dengan tenang dan nonton 2 episode pertama dari season 3. Heheh..

Nah ini yang mau gue omongin. Nonton episode pertama itu like, hmm.. who are they? What the hell are they doing that, saying this, and deciding those.. You don't know exactly the who's why's what's and where's but then.. after the 2nd episode.. I was getting to know them a little better.. Sometimes I felt like I knew them..

That is the weird part of television series, every week, you seem to know a character of parade of characters better and better. I knew what would probably come out of Carrie Bradshaw's mouth by season 4 of Sex and the City. I thought I knew which way to go for Vic Mackey of the Shield by episode 9.

So, is this a relationship? Definitely. But not a real one. And I still happy of having it. It's like you're having 10 circles at the same time, and you have to adapt in each circle. Now call me crazy. :D

Now September's ahead. Means I am about to lose relationship with 11 teams that went racing around the world in the Amazing Race, 13 houseguests of Big Brother 5, but I will certainly will meet 18 candidates of interview for the dream job of a lifetime in the Apprentice 2, and probably 18 castaways in Survivor: Vanuatu.

I love television! (but maybe not as much as I love my one night stands in the movies)
