contrast?

i found a pretty funny cartoon on the web. the picture is about obesity problem that happens to most kids in America. 

but somehow it reminds me of a picture that my friend sent to my facebook account, that shows an African child that nearly have no meat in his body. 

its kinda sad isn't it?

why didn't McDonald's, Burger King, A&W, and those other fast food company increasing the number of their restaurant in Africa?

in to the wild

this is my fav quotes taken from In To The Wild movie

how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong, but to feel strong.

MUST SEEN

basically i wrote today blog as a response from my previous  topic entitled "MONO-tone". incase u haven't read it, it tells u about how my life in these past couple weeks are getting flatter and flatter. and thats why i spent my noon time to watched my dvd collection. "In To The Wild" was the movie that i chose  to kill my spare time. 

its a movie directed by sean penn. and as my opinion, it was the BEST movie EVER. its a story about a young adventurer named Chirtopher Johnson. how he had to struggle with his unhappy family, and his idealistic thought. 

He just finished his college degree when he decided to go hitchhiking passing through America to Alaska, but without any money or contact to his family. 

He is determined to escape from the society and get back o the nature. on his journey he blows from town to town, hopping the train, and camping with hippies. thats what basically this story about.

it still had a great impact on me even after i watched it for the fifth times. 

i envy his newfound freedom, his guts, his way of thinking,  his life that seemed got no boundaries. and compared to me, im stuck here, doing things that "others" think are the best for me. and i cant chose how i want to live my own life, or what is best for me. im bound with my cultural way, and my religion rule. 

in some way i wished my life is more like this Christopher guy, but life without limitation and rule is a life that heading to the destruction. 

once again, it is a MUST SEEN movie!!!

use your brain

as i was writing this blog, i wrote down the word critical thinking in google search engine. and i found out this picture in one of many images that came out from the net. i was fascinated when i saw this image, i could found at-least 7 human figure. how many human figure can u see in this image?

MONO-tone

my days feels kinda flat these days. ...so i think i must do something challenging, something extra ordinary.. things that pumping my adrenalin. maybe doing things like backpacking to a city without holding any maps, buggy jumping from the highest building in KL, dating a lot of girls in one night, selling crack, and more of those crazy things.

my uncle once said, life without rules is a paradise. 

loundrimaderfader

its always rainy these couple weeks.. because of the humid climate all of my clothes are hard to get dry. so i decided to bring my dirty clothes to the loundry at street mall. 

after that i went back home and slept. i woke up at 6 pm, its almost magrib. so i prepared a hot cup of tea and kormas.

today i went to my girlfriend house for broke my fast...
she cooked sambal udang and many traditional indonesian food. its a bit spicy but its so delicious. i stayed there for a while with my other friends. 
after that i went to campus to practice my group drama for BOB presentation. we practiced for about 4 hours. because the lecturer told us, that we had to memorized the scrip, unless we want to get our mark deducted. i hope we will get a high mark for our presentation.

ramadhan

im very happy that ramadhan has come.
but sometimes i felt it kinda makes me hard to go to class. firstly because i didnt get enough sleep at night, and secondly i had to walk for about 2 miles to get to the class, and the weather nowadays is really unfriendly.
i guess all my housemates are having the same problem, thats why sometimes before sahur time arrived we usually played together or just sit and watched the tv..

my all time hero

this "IKEA" thingy

i spent my afternoon time finding the right dining table for my kitchen in IKEA.

im pretty sure most of you guys know what IKEA is. one of the most prestigious furniture franchise from sweden. and after i got what i came there for, i got disturbed by my own thoughts..

mostly students from my country, Indonesia, filled their room and house equipments with this brand.. from their pillow case until their mouse pad has an IKEA tag behind it.. 

im quite astonished by this fact.. 

not the fact cause at first the founder of IKEA only sold pens, and picture frame.. and now it considered as top 10 biggest sales success ever. 

but the fact that most of my fellow friend has what i usually called "only-branded-stuff-will-do-me-good". i mean, come on lets be honest, if u wanna buy a mouse pad, why don't u go to electronic city, or a computer store, instead of IKEA?? and u can get a faaaaaar more cheaper spoon in carefour. (im not being stingy, but this is the fact) 

is it because of the prestige that u get if ur house full of branded stuff? 

of simply there are no nicer place to shop around KL?

im not denial that sometimes i went to this store coz i found the stuff that their offer are nicer, more organized and they have SUPER DELICIOUS MEAT BALLS. im pretty well aware that the stuff are specially made by the designer, BUT using cheap materials that are very well polished. and its not long lasting. also they sold it with a price that can make your eyes bug out....

well in my conclusion its not a sin to buy a great OGLA lamp, or a cozy FLARKE sofa.. as long as u wont have to cheat with your own wallet.

lets called it a day

in the afternoon i went to alamanda to accompanied my friend. he wanted to buy a pair of a new shoes for him to play soccer this evening.. after that, at seven o'clock we went to taman tasik to play soccer.. i was so tired because i played for three hours.. later that day, i went to asia cafe to play billiard until 2 o'clock.. i knew that it was a bit late for me to go back home, but i must woke up this morning for the class..

first day,,,, 28 august

huaaaaaa.....
i woke up late this morning..so i didnt go to the class... because i know the lecturer didnt give me attandance... this is a bad day of my life...
