hey guys...this pict is on the most artistic pictures i have taken here in Milwaukee i think...you gotta admit man...this picture is just so beautiful...its taken during tht ski trip i had a couple of weeks ago...we were all kinda tired so we lied down on the snow....when i looked up...it was so beautiful that i stopped thinking of everything...i let this sight bathe me with tranquility....then i actually thought of something...something as perfect as this view must be captured...heh so i reluctantly got up and took my camera...lied down and took about 4 shots...this is the best one i took....lol there was even once the camera dropped on my nose because i was enjoying the view so much...hahahaha...this is my wallpaper right now..and it work wonders...you guys can give it a shot...click on the image...right-click it and set as background...soo peaceful eh?

IndoNight passed by finally...its this event whereby the Indonesians who are in Milwaukee gathered and planned an event for other people to come and see the culture of indonesia...We have planned this program for the past 7 months or so...so this night was pretty big for us...I was in charge of the programs....so the tech people are asking the indos who is the one who is the one who must officially start the program...i nv realised how important my role was till then..and by then i was 15 mins late...-_-ll...but other than tht...the program went rather well and smoothly...the audience enjoyed it too....=)...I hope the picts for the night is posted and sent to me so tht i can show you guys what a great night it was!...=)

Yo...Late post this one is....was prepareing for a psych test ytd....anyway Happy Chinese New Year!!!...this pict was taken during the CNY meal i had with the indonesians of Milwaukee...shown in this picture is more or less all the Indonesian men in Milwaukee...awesome looking group, wouldnt you say? hahahaha....

argh this last week has been crazy...almost sick the entire week...even though not flu...but still give me a pain in the butt...there was once during a philosophy class where the prof ask me something on the board and i was like "......"....because my stomach was feeling like tsunami and i had a terrible cold...so yea...tht was more or less my week....

But there was something tht i learnt from a psychology class though...something about myself...and its so true tht it became scary...i don noe why it was scary...but for some reason i was taken aback at the accuracy....so this is how it goes...I was supposed to choose 4 from a list...you can do it too..choose 4 now,....

Need for affection and approval
Need to have a partner
Narrowly restricting one's life (Dont want to be a burden to others)
Seeking domination and power over others
Exploiting others
Need for social recognition or prestige
Striving to be the best and defeat others (both friends and enemies)
Inflated sense of self (See self as soemthing more than human)
Being driven towards superiority (Perfectionist)

If you choose choices 1-3....you are called the Compliant type...Major characteristics are you are compliant towards others...you tend to defer to others...and any sign of rejection is terrifying to you...

if you choose choices 4-7.... you are called the Aggresive type...Major characteristics are hostility, dominating and are satisfied when others recognize your achievements

if you choose choices 8 to 10...you are called Detached type...Major characteristics are personal admiration..have high need for privacy...maintain emotional distance from people...tend to suppress/deny feelings for other ppl because leads to conflict...

So those needs are not good needs anyway...but i wont give u a psych lecture now...can u guess which one am I?...guess guess...haha...well im the Detached type...when i heard what the lecturer said...i was so taken aback from those facts tht i go..."omg...these are actually true..." well at least theres my explaination for me being single all these times anyway....so which one describes you best? if you want a more detailed explaination...you can google "Karen Horney's 10 neurotic needs"....=)...anyway Wish you guys receive lots of Hong Baos!!

ooo...hows that for a scenery?...hehe its like we are trekking across a totally inhabited place....its just awesome though the scenery...its like postcard picture perfect....=)...u know the kind of feeling when u are walking across tht field is like none other...its like you are really disconnected from reality...not the kind of feeling u can get often really when u r living in this world...i think in spore the only places where i can get those kind of feeling is when u go to reservoirs....or even just play music and close your eyes...

anyway this week has been one of the hectics ones i had since the start of the semester....i had 4 tests...and i think i did well on 4 of them..=P hahahaa....feel the joy!!...heh i think its also kinda the exam period now in spore for my badge of graduates....i wish u guys total luck!!!...i read the blogs of my friends and i kinda figured tht their lives are more hectic than mine...tests...projects and all...

heh i watched hamlet just now...its been some time when i keep thinking whats so great abt these shakespeare plays...and i figured its not so much of the story lines...but its the language and meaning behind the language...as in how deep it is....i slept 3 times during the movie...but for some reason i always woke up at the right time when hamlet was abt to say soemthing meaningful...i will definitely post up some of his sayings abt life...=)...anyway next tuesday is Valentine's Day!...heh for those of you who have dates...wish you have a great time with one another!...and for those of who doesn't....No worries!...take it as a day when you be your own valentine!...like buy something for yourself...=)...at least tht beats staying in ur own room alone self-pitying yourself doesn't it?

Heyss...what a cold cold week this has been for me...and u know what the best thing is about next week is? It will only get colder!!....next week average temperature will be negative 17 celsius....its negative man...dont think im bs-ing you or anything...but its getting frostbiting cold here...oh well...more motivation to go to class huh...hahahaha

anyway this pict was taken during the ski trip last week...dont i just look awesome?? wahahaha...there is a hill down after this where i get tht mad rush of "OH YEA!!" ....but other than tht...its quite tiring to push yourself on tht snow with the 2 sticks....=)...

This week for some reason the thought of tht missing piece in my life keep coming back to me...it maybe because of tht vid i put up last week by savage garden...or it may also be the fact that valentines is coming...hehe first of all lemme give u a history of my valentine days....i nv really knew when is valentines till abt 5 years ago when i kinda fell for the first time....first yr...didnt do anything because i was still a kid....second yr...didnt do anything either because i kinda gave up....third year.....i did a pretty dumb thing of what i thought can be romantic....4th year?...haha didnt even think of one....5th year i was in the US so i just go out for dinner with my friends...

So in a nutshell of my history for valentines? It sucked....well yea basically i read back to tht entry i did right b4 i went back to indo...abt the fact tht im blessed with all the wisdom a 17 year old can have now...only a completely void intelligence in the romance area...its like the energy is there...but there is no way whatsoever to utilise it....so i actually asked myself this...is it just because im all tht dumb...or am i just not brave enough to take action and win the heart of the girl i have feelings for?....that last question for some reason never crop up to me before...because probably i'm scared to admit to myself that i'm scared...heh little inside info on me...one of the worst but most probably most useful thing for someone to do to me is to let me admit that i'm afraid....but yea...this area of romance in my life will always be a puzzle for me...will just have to wait for that missing piece to come into my life....=)

I just watched rocky balboa....his latest movie...man tht stallone still have it in him....cant believe he still has a freakin 6 pack....but the movie is also jam-packed with values (like the rest of the rocky movies)...not tht i have seen them all...but 3 of the values i learnt are basically...love the people around you now, for they won't be there forever.....second is do things for the right reasons, which concerns YOU and not other people.... and finally....Don't blame other things for where you are now. Wanna see the problem? look in the mirror.....

heh these 3 values are kinda no-brainers arent they?...well one day if you read this you can actually get a hard reality check...like i did when i moved to the US...trust me when we are in critical times...its hard for us to actually see what should we do in the midst of all the confusion...heh my point is...watch the movie when it comes out in your country!! =)
