Happy Holiday

2005-12-20T22:53:00.000-06:00

Yup it's the winter holiday...
Sad that I'm not home. It's my first winter break away from my family.
I'm going to Texas this weekend. Gonna have some fun and I totally need to find something to do. Holiday in this boring town makes me fat cos all I can do is sleeping and eating. Well...
Merry Christmas everyone....

AMUN Conferrence

AMUN Conferrence (Me and my partner represented Cyprus)

Chicago trip seemed like a dream. It was definitely one of the most awesome trip I ever had . (thanks to Ms. Grace the lawyer). AMUN conferrence was totally devastated. We had like crazy schedule and very little break. Thank god we had a long break on the first day and on monday. First night was awesome. We went to this korean restaurant, Koryo. The food was not bad but we got this free expensive wine because the manager there likes my buddy who wore an angora shirt lol. Walking down downtown in Chicago while kinda drunk was so fun with grace. We talked crapped and laughed so loud. We had all the good food during the trip there.

I'm back

2005-11-10T20:33:00.000-06:00

Yes people... I'm not dead yet.
I'm back!!
Many things going on in my life.
I don't know how to tell the exact thing one by one.
I guess I'm just gonna summarize it real quick.
First, I participated in Miss Asia Pageant of Wichita, represented Indonesia.
Too bad I lost, but it was a fun experience.
Next, International Student Union has been working pretty well, and I'm starting to pay more attention to it. In fact we had our first newsletter published ;) I believe we can make it big!
Ramadhan was awesome, I had tons of good foods yum...
Then, it's almost time for Model UN CHICAGO conferrence. WOhoo... I'm darn excited, can't wait to hang out with my "bff" Gracie there and of coz Denver for thanksgiving, again with Gracie and Lisa. We are planning a ski trip. It shoud be fun.. I hope I have enough money to pull that off coz I need to get a new computer as well since my current one has been acting up like an old lady. Last but not least, I might as well fall for someone soon. We'll see abt that.
Hopefully I can do a weekly update or so.
Adios....

hey again

2005-08-20T11:50:00.000-05:00

so I've been using my xanga lately. I know it's crazy, but I hav all those kind of blogging site including myspace and neatvibe too. Since there're too many of them, I ended up abandon some of them and concentrate on one site only. But yeah, I was thinking to copy and paste my update from my xanga sometimes since my vacation journal is there.
School finally starts again, and I'm not too excited. I'm still dreaming about Cali and thinking abt all the fun there :p But it's time to go back to reality and I worked in library again. So holla at me on tue/thu/fri afternoon in reserve, ablah library.

Had good food and the left. what a jack ass! lol! it's all good. One paper left, then I'm done with school. And yeah, I feel a lot better now abt the break up thing. I'm so proud of myself.

Friday nite out

2005-07-17T01:16:00.000-05:00

Oh, I went to graham's yesterday with grace, liliana, and rox. THat's my 3rd time there ever. It was ok.

i'm feeling blue

2005-07-17T01:07:00.000-05:00

so yeeah, i'm still crying like a baby til now.
It still hurts inside and I'm not planning to tell my friends cos I hate all those questioning like "what happen? why? blah...blah..." Being single sux. But yeah, maybe it's a good chance to concentrate more on my study and future. Oh, Brett was awesome today, he explained lots of stuff that i doubted all this time.

crazy summer

2005-07-15T18:59:00.000-05:00

finally I'm back to the classic old skin. I've been trying to work on new blog skin to replace this one soon. I've been really sad these days, and I'm so grateful that Grace was there to ease this pain. Yeah, I broke up with bf finally. I knew it's coming long time before. This whole long distance thing didn't work out. And he's not coming back here for at least 1 yr. Plus, I knew his feeling's change and it hurts me to think how easy it was. Summertime just sux so bad, somehow there's always breaking up drama during summer. I can't wait to leave to california, it's gonna be awesome and I'm sure I'm gonna meet some hot beach boy. I'm not trying to hook up with anyone or rebound, I just need a damn break from fucking Wichita and all the mess here. I'm tired of looking all happy and smiley while I'm breaking down inside. Peace out!

hmm...

2005-06-24T01:03:00.000-05:00

Dumpling ...dumpling.... tomorrow's dumpling party...
I love dumpling, can't wait for it.
Some people actually read this site, so maybe I should write more often.
Today I went to Walmart with Mellisa and Yong Chen, Mellisa wants to bake a cake and I'm gonna help her tomorrow. I kinda doubt if we can make a good cake since we can't even figure one of the ingredient. I've been hunting indonesian spices lately since I found this one website that translate spices from English-Indonesia. Check it out guys http://www.keluarganugraha.net/resep/tips_bumbu.html
This site has tons of great Indonesian food, which I'm gonna try out soon after I get all I need.

past

2005-06-18T03:07:00.000-05:00

He was swimming with her in the sea
He seemed really happy, she seemed like all that he needs now
While I was watching, I couldn't help but burned with jealously
I swam there and tried to reach him
But I started to drown...

Sigh... it was all just a dream about this ex.
It's weird because I haven't talk to him for ages, and I didn't even think of him.
But that dream makes me sad and now I'm kinda thinking about him.
Anyway, life goes on....

2005-06-12T21:17:00.000-05:00

So anyhow, my B'day was on April 15. I went to "On the Border" and invited some friends... I had so much fun there despite the long waiting. THat was my first time there, and I just love the food there. Mexican food ...yumm....
I've got some present and cards from my friends, it's a lovely dinner... My sweetheart was actually stood up and say thanks to everyone and that "I love her" words in front of my friends. I was so touched... So glad to spent this year B'day with all of the people that I love....( even though my parents forgot abt it, geez...... I have a twin bro who lives with them for god sake).
Well, I still love them after all... Oh... btw... midnite on my B'day, these guys like amelia and the mission gang gave me a surprise B'day cake...aww....... I love u all....

Great Kisser

2005-02-24T19:21:00.000-06:00

How to be a great "Kisser"

You've had a great date, and now you want to end it on a memorable note. Leave him with a passionate kiss, and he won't be able to get you out of his mind.

1. Create ambiance. Try embellishing a room with warm hues by installing peach- or pink-colored light bulbs, or putting on a red lamp shade.
2. Gently hold his ears in your fingertips as you kiss. This tender move shows your true affection. A practical benefit: It allows you to tilt his head up or down to the position you prefer.
3. Whisper sweet nothings. Just because you're lip-locked doesn't mean you have to be silent. Saying something sweet right into your partner's mouth is a passionate way to communicate your feelings.
4. Don't be a statue. Add motion to the moment by moving your hand gently up and down his back.
5. Banish bad breath. One easy way: Eat an apple before you head out to meet your date. The fruit will freshen your mouth with a natural flavor. Or, if your plans involve dinner, ingest a bit of parsley post-meal (when he's not looking) to freshen from the inside out.
6. Be a tease. Introduce variety with the "Teasing Kiss": Tell your partner not to kiss you for one minute while you take charge of the exchange.
7. Discard timidity. Don't be shy! Open your mouth wider while kissing to really express your passion.
8. French kiss. Men rank it the number one as their preferred type of kiss. To make it magical, be more active with your tongue. Move it in a circular motion, flick your partner's with it, or play tongue-chase.
9. Try Lip-o-suction. Let him kiss your lower lip while you kiss his upper lip, and then switch.
10. Break the kissing monotony. Pleasantly surprise your partner with a change-up in the intensity, tempo, or duration of your kisses.

I've been pretty down & lonely lately, even though I'm surrounded with friends just felt like I'm all alone. I guess I'm just moody. I've been lazy to do anything, and this headache never seem to go away. What the heck is going on with me

V'day

2005-02-16T12:52:00.001-06:00

I went to Hana Cafe with Johnny on Valentine's Day. We had some sushi, yaki soba, and teriyaki chicken. I love sushi...yum...but it's hard to get fresh sushi around here. It's Johnny's first time to ate raw fish, and I don't think that he likes it. Anyway, we got free heart baloon & chocolate from the restaurant, that's sweet... I also got ton of assignments and exams coming up. Geez....
