Last night's dream was PSM-ITB performing Les Miserables, and I was invited to be the organizer! I was the producer, and I think I became the most ruthless producer that they have ever had. In the dream, I only remember that Kiki was Fantine, and Marina is Mrs. Thenadier. And I got the goosebumps when "and the tigers come at night... with their voices soft as thunder..." was sung by Kiki. Good job, Ki!

The funniest of all is that in that dream, no Marius, no Javert, no Valjean. The reason: We don't have a qualified male solo performer, so they stayed on the choir". Huehahahahaeuaha..

I haven't told you but I really love Bremerhavenn gym's sauna!! So my schedule every Thursday now is working 9 to 5 (as always), and then hit the gym for one and a half hours or so, then have the sauna as long as it takes. Yikes!

The best thing from the sauna is that they have this Ruheraum (quiet room) where on its balcony at 1830 hours, is the exact time when the sun shines on it, and the cool Nordsee breeze is on you, and time to put 8 hours of work behind you. And that mixture of temperature of your body from the sauna, of the burning sun, of the wind, the view of Fischereihafen in front of you.. Argh.. can't wait for tomorrow!!

Last night's dream was not the only strange dreams that I had this past few days. But right at the time that I want to tell them all, they just vaporized. Sucks, doesn't it? Well, so let's just say that I dreamed a dream. Tee hee hee..

But to be honest, I rarely have a dreamless sleep nowadays. I don't know what causes that. Unsettled subconsciousness?

By the way, want to test Yahoo! 360° in detail, but of course can't do it in the office. But on the first glimpse, more or less like current multiply [cant tell for sure because I'm not a multiplier] or Friendster. Love the integration with other Yahoo! service, but still lurv blogger more for blogging.

This article about still good thangs about Mozilla Firefox open my eyes wider and wider with amazement. So seriously, I still can't think why people are still browsing with IE. Well, curious to see IE7 this summer though, but still, Firefox rox!!

And have you heard of its updates? Extensions? Themes? It's like going to IKEA and then try to choose and assemble the accessories by yourself to make the final product suit you best.

Have a good day everyone!

weekend distraction

American Beauty x 4 families = Sex and the City + 10 years = Desperate Housewives.

This one series can crumble my reluctance of watching any American television series because of the described formula above.

I got acquainted with a guy. He has a television which he doesn't like to be attached to. But everytime I was in his place, he always turned it on because he likes to know about news, have his favorite German series, and uses this as an excuse: "You can improve your German by this." He's right on the last point.

But... [well, you know that there's a big but coming your way, don't you..] because of this, I have to sit through endless Werbungen of new series in the telly. To name a few: Lost - Montag 20:15, Sex and the City - Dienstag 20:15, and Desperate Housewives - Dienstag 21:15. These are only in Pro7. And I just can't resist it. Eventhough I was relieved that the series are all on workdays, so God saves me.

But... second big fat but coming your way.. you know what, they have bloody reruns on weekends! Lost is rerun every Friday night. And two weekends ago, I accidentally turned on the telly during late lunch time, and there they were. In front of me. Lynette, Bree, Susan, Gabrielle, Edie and the voice of Mary Alice. And eventhough they speak fluent German, I was hooked. Dang!

For me, Teri Hatcher is superb as Susan. Remember her as the luckiest girl on earth eventhough Kevin Smith thought that she wont be able to bear her crush's child named Lois Lane? Remember her as a sexy bond girl? All that images are wiped out in this series. Maybe it's because of the German, though. Hehehe..

And I just LOVE Gabrielle. The aerial shot showing her mowing the grass in her dress and high-heels was just hillariously terriffic. Eventhough I am still on the fence about her affair with umm.. what's his name? :D

Each of the housewives', desperate or not, deepest darkest secret are presented before us. Took place in an American suburbs and gave an intimate look to each housewives' family (should they be called homemakers, instead?), the series just reminded me of other dark comedy American suburbs life: American Beauty.

While the four friends, four different women, four different strong personalities, bring the memories of other four women of Sex and the City. Not the sex.

Anyway, the suspense in the series that makes me twinge and curious by the end of every episode, eventhough I cant understand 100% of Mary Alice's narration throughout the episode. It's an interesting series, but just dont ask me to sit through each episode of them, because I will only watch it if I dont have anything to do every Saturday, at 17:15. If I'm not mistaken.

birthdaysss

Lah.. banyak ya yang ultah hari bulan ini.. Selamat deh buat semuanya. (ketauan basa basinya. hihihih..)

Update: changing 'something', hehehehe..

lunch break post

Yes, I have my lunch at 13:30, and now it's still my one-hour lunch-break. So..

Remember a while ago I posted a kind of sexist thing that I found on the internet. So, gals, here's some counter for that. Hehehehe..

to do's vs to do's

Spring comes. Things to do from a german friend of mine may look like this [I essentially summarized them based on endless conversation about the changes between the season]

1. cleaning the balcony
2. buying or renovating balcony furniture
3. putting out gardening + barbecue tools
4. putting in winter tools
5. rearrange wardrobe
6. locate sunscreen
7. "six-packs" doesnt only mean favorite things to buy in stores, but also goal for certain muscle group to show-off in summer. so hit the gym!

Huahahahhahahahaa.. Meanwhile [urgh, really hate saying this word], my to-do's are:

1. Treat current lodging as permanent lodging, because still gonna be there for a while
2. That means: put effort in decorating, make it homy, and most important love it
3. That means: start a new list of to buy, to bring, to create, or to invent
4. That means: time to go to IKEA - question mark - wink - grin - shrug
5. Know the resources of room, and move ass to achieve those four above
6. Determine whether Bremerhaven room will be spring room or summer room. Not worth the effort to have both.
7. Oh, and work hard. - snicker

Not so springy, eh?
