26 hours/day

Ok, after the depressing post yesterday, this time I'll post something brighter (brighter than last time at least)

Today, my uncle's family came, brought his wife and my cute baby cousin. This of course mucked up my daily nap time (Nap time's the most important!!). In the end, I chose to watch TV, which then led me to this funny TV program called '26 hours/day'.

This Japanese show is about how to make the most in just a short time. The idea is in this era people have so many activities that 24 hours are not quite enough. Therefore, this show gives us many unique ideas of how to do something by using 'short cut'.

Quite interesting, I may say. One of the performers showed how to prepare 'Party Cuisine', which usually need hours to prepare, in just 20 minutes. I can understand the appeal of this show for the Japanese. They are famous for valuing their time after all (or so I think), which then led me to think: Why can't Indonesian people be like that?

'Time is money' is the slogan of that program. Quite a famous proverb which has been proven true in many occasions.

Following that proverb, if time is money, then Indonesian people's habit of wasting time means wasting money, right?

No wonder our country is still 'not prosper' yet...

Promise to myself: I'll try to respect the time better, for change can only be started from yourself, right ;-)

KRS Nightmare

After our wonderful *note the sarcasm* KRS online last night, everyone went home with good amount of tension in their shoulder. There were many who claimed to not have enough sks, actually have enough sks but certain nosy person chased them away (including myself *sorry, I'm still sore with that person*), and several were in danger of having several of their subjects be deleted permanently. What a productive night!

Okay, seems that I'm still full of sarcasm tendency...

I just visited Facebook and read many of my friends' comment. Most of them lamenting the fact that someone up there in the office had made it their job to make their live as nightmarish as possible.

Btw, one of my friend, just call him Mr. Y, seemed so stressed esp. with Um's management. Me too, Mr. Y, me too. I quote him "Can't you, for God sake, COUNT???" He seemed mad that the people in the office only give 15 available seats, while we have much more students than that. I'm mad too...

Wolfie just called me and we have finished ranted together to certain someone. The nerve of that certain someone (CS)!!! She told us that we shouldn't take drama for it wasn't ours (the Ed's students'). Yet, Wolfie informed me that after we pulled out the course, many of her friends, which actually also form Ed, joined in. Darn it all to hell!!

Forgive my language. I'm really mad.

Urgh, I only get 20 sks from my planned 24. Help me~~~!

We needed to stage a coup! Dethrone the people who responsible with our schedule! And get our rightful sks and courses! *clap clap bow*

School n Fasting

Just realize that it's only about 10 days before school begin again and about 5 days before fasting

Happy Ramadhan!

oh, and about 2 days before KRS (had to find the most convenient schedule)

Go, Fisca!

Cangar, here I come!!

Today, my daddy brought the family -- minus my kid sister coz she had school -- to Cangar Hot Spring in Batu. It was the first time I went there, which was pathetic I told ya for it's just about an hour from my home. Speaking of that, I also haven't visited the newly built Wendit, which is only 3 minutes from my home with motor cycle or ten minutes walking. Shame on me...

Anyway, the main reason we went there, besides for recreation of course, was because of my mother. She is studying for her doctoral degree and seems to be sore everywhere in her body for all the time she sit down typing in her laptop. Figured that hot spring would be good for her, and me too, what with me busy playing games and watching movies in my laptop =P

On with the story...

We arrived at Cangar at 10 A.M., which was still quite empty judged from its parking lot. Hey, you know what my first impression of Cangar was? DIRTY!!

Gawd, you must see the state of its parking lot. There were trash everywhere, from plastics to banana peels, and all of them seemed to be there from the Juracsic age and never been cleaned even once. Urgh... gross! What's worse was that the workers never seemed to care 'bout it and let those trash mounted up. It also balanced with the lack of trash can, no surprise there...

Btw, the entrance ticker there was only Rp3.000,00 So cheap... No wonder they couldn't afford cleaning service *sarcasm*

Upon reaching the hot spring (after walked down quite long stone stairs) my dad and I immediately seek a perfect spot (which turned out not so perfect for me) in the pool. No need to change into swim suit, just wear our clothes (everyone do that, why shouldn't us), and enjoy the spring.

Nothing really interesting happen. Just the fact that it was really hot the first time I put my feet in the hot spring (*really, what else you expect* shut up, my annoying inner self!), or a nearly dangerous situation when my mom almost poked my eyes with her umbrella (only she'd used umbrella in a pool *shake head*), or an annoying person beside me who smoke in a pool (Cigarette's a health hazard!!!) and nearly made me gag with the smell.

Oh, related to the garbage problem above, it seems that not only ugly and uneducated people would throw their litter not in its place (sorry, ugly and uneducated people!). For I saw a pretty girl put away her plastic waste in the forest floor behind her. Then again, the lack of bin was also to be blamed for.

Okay, that's my story for today (which turned out more about rubbish (not turned out rubbish, it's different =P) than about Cangar. Sorry there!)

Bye!
