>> IN LOVE (KUIS ISENG)

OH MY GAAAAWWWWDDD!! lord aragorn is so mighty damn fine, i'm falling in love with him all over again. saw the movie last nite. i thought i was crazy enough for watching it on its opening night, during working days and late at 11pm for a 3½ hours movie. we didn't get out of the theater until almost 3 am. we bought the tickets about a week ago too. buuutt... it turns out that other people are even crazier. some kids who were in line behind us mentioned that last night was her second time watching it. she watched it on midnight the night before on its first show nationwide. gileee... i would probably be like her if i didn't have to go to work in the morning. hahaha...!!! but how was the movie? it was so fucking awesome. both me and dis couldn't stop talking about it. we even agreed that we'll have good dreams afterwards.. hihih...

i'm not quite sure if i want to put a review on movies411 or not. i know some people want me so but i was thinking that this movie is too good to be spoiled. besides, you know how the story goes.. who's gonna be the king, who's gonna be what and whatnot. and even if i tell you anything else.. it's going to spoil the movie. but i'll figure out a way to do it without spoiling it.. all i know it's one of the best movies (and trilogy) i've seen. we even tried to compare it to the godfather trilogy. which one's better? well.. stay tune for the review i guess...

anyways.. gue dapet kuis iseng ini dari cassie di email. sebenernya pada reply lewat email semua.. cuman berhubung gue lagi sibuk banget buat apdet blog ini.. i thought this quiz should be a good update. heheh... besides i haven't done quiz for a looongg time.. so here goes:

>> TWO SHOULD EQUAL ONE

are you such a dreamer
to put the world to rights
i'll stay home forever
where two and two always makes a five

i'll lay down the tracks
sandbag and hide
january has april showers
and two and two always makes a five

it's the devil's way now
there is no way out
you can scream and you can shout
it is too late now

because you're not there
payin' attention
payin' attention
payin' attention
payin' attention

yeah i feel it, i needed attention
payin' attention
payin' attention
payin' attention

yeah i need it, i needed attention
i needed attention
i needed attention
i needed attention

yeah i love it, the attention
payin' attention
payin' attention
payin' attention

soon oh
i try to sing along
but the music's all wrong
cos i'm not
cos i'm not

i'll swallow up flies?
back and hide
but i'm not
oh hail to the thief
oh hail to the thief
but i'm not
but i'm not
but i'm not
but I'm not

don't question my authority or put me in the box
cos i'm not
cos i'm not

oh go up to the king, and the sky is falling in
but it's not
but it's not
maybe not
maybe not

i'm in the midst of confusion state. the state when two and two always makes a five. when i no longer think two is equal to one.

the song has accompanied me every morning. the more i hear it, the more i understand what it means. and your voice just the only sound i want to hear right now. what a gloomy end of the year...

i'll be back..

>> BLA.. BLA.. BLA..

what can i say, i'm just not in the mood to sit down in front of my computer and write about stuff when i have a pile of numbers to crunch. as always at this time of the year, my work has piled up before year ends. and this year is no difference, no matter how hard i tried to avoid it and come prepared in earlier months, the work would still piled up and lying there waiting for me with a deadline. for the past weeks, i've been leaving the office after 7pm, sometimes even close to 8pm. by the time i got home, i'm just too exhausted to even bother turning on my computer. i usually turn on my computer all night eventhough i hardly sit in front of it, but these days, i'd rather sleep inside my comfy bed and watch tv and relaxing.

i know i know.. i have tons of pictures to upload. i haven't updated my blog, my movies411, even my pik-of-da-wik.. and i actually have TONS of pictures from the snow storm we just had this past weekend. i'll try to upload them as soon as i can. but no promise. my life doesn't revolve around blog world *sarcastic mode* so if i can't manage to do it, then it'll just have to wait. hihi...

this weekend we had two days of fucking snow storm!! i love it, it's the slush after it stops that i hate. with all of these snow laying around, it got me thinking of snowboarding this weekend, but with who? all the peeps i know who would love to go are in school and they're having final week so maybe the week after. besides i'm dead broke from all the shopping spree i did last week. haha! can't waste the sale season, yo! i got myself not just one but TWO boots, one knee-high black pointy boots and a stylin' dark brown mid-calf ones... on top of the two kate spade bags, sweaters and some kitchen stuff from bed, bath & beyond. and i actually have managed to avoid gucci's private sale too. it will only do bigger damage to my bank account *grin*. besides, even though the snow fell for about 20 inches, it looks like most of them are almost gone, at least that's how it is in the city (read: manhattan). the temperature has gone up again, so i guess it melts faster than it should. although i'm sure it would be so nice to go up the hill and go down on my snowboard. :D well.. we'll see.

alright then, that's it from me, peeps! gotta go back crunching those numbers again. i don't know when i can upload the pictures, it looks like i have to re-install and upgrade my computer at home.. actually, i shoulda bought a new one, if only i have extra 700 bux to spend. well, if i do i'd rather spend it on something else *if you know whatta mean*.. hahah.. women!

oh one other thing.. my previous entry was only a fiction, besides even if it's not, why would you expect me telling y'all about my fantasy? come on! that wouldn't sound like sLesTa, would it?

>> IN DREAMS

pagi itu aku terbangun dengan rasa kantuk yang amat berat. sudah beberapa malam ini aku susah tidur. mungkin karena sudah kebiasaan dengan sedikitnya waktu tidurku selama bulan puasa lalu. tak bisa aku tidur sebelum midnight. akibatnya jam 8 pagi pun aku masih di tempat tidur, menggeliat untuk bangun dengan bunyi alarm yang mendering tak henti². ditambah lagi udara semakin dingin saja, membuatku semakin malas untuk keluar dari selimut tebalku yang hangat. tapi aku tetap mesti bersemangat untuk bangun dan pergi ke kantor, walopun sepertinya akan telat lagi. uuhh...

sesampainya di subway station, aku terlelap lagi. ah biarkanlah aku naik kereta yang lokal saja, yang berhenti di setiap stasiun. tapi setidaknya aku dapat tempat duduk, tak perlu berdesak²an dengan penumpang di kereta ekspress. toh akhirnya cuman beda 10 menit sampai di tujuan. lagipula aku bisa mencuri waktu tidurku selama perjalanan 45 menit ini. lumayan lah, mungkin saja akan menyegarkan mataku.

aku pun tertidur. lumayan lelap tidurku sampai aku tak memperhatikan orang² di sekitarku. setiap kereta berhenti, mataku terbuka sedikit. uuhh.. susah memang.. i've always been a light sleeper.. tidak bisa tidur yang lelap, selalu terbangun bila ada suara² di sekitarku.. walaupun sedikiitt saja. tapi aku terus mencuri tidurku. begitu terus beberapa kali sampai akhirnya aku merasa setiap kali mataku terbuka selalu berpapasan dengan mata indah milik lelaki muda di depanku. setelah hampir lima kali terus begitu, aku mulai terbangun karena aku mulai merasa kalau lelaki muda yang duduk di sebrangku itu memperhatikan aku kala tidurku. aku pikir itu hanya perasaanku saja yang GR.. heheh.. tapi ah tidak.. mataku selalu menangkap jeratan matanya yang sedang melihat ke arahku, yang lalu dialihkan ketika mataku terbuka lebar. hmm.. matanya indah. kulihat lelaki itu memakai celana kerja warna khaki dan kaos putih lengan pendek. hmm.. kuat juga dia memakai baju yang lumayan minim itu di waktu musim gugur ini. apalagi akhir² ini udaranya sudah mulai dingin, walaupun belom terlalu dingin sih untuk ukuran musim gugur di akhir november.

kucoba memperhatikan lelaki itu dengan lebih seksama. rambutnya hitam, sepertinya di tubuhnya mengalir darah blasteran, soalnya mukanya seperti dari far east. kulitnya tidak terlalu putih, yang pasti bukan bule, tapi juga tidak gelap. matanya bagus, fitur mukanya juga bagus, dengan kata lain.. lelaki itu termasuk good looking.. tall, dark & handsome. kulihat dia pura² tidak melihat ke arahku walaupun ku tangkap dia mencoba mencuri² pandang. ah lucu. lalu dia berdiri. badannya tinggi, tegap dan bagus. hmm... ah tapi dia sepertinya mau keluar. i guess this is his stop. tujuan terakhirku masih 3 stop lagi. eh tapi kulihat dia hanya mengeluarkan kepalanya dan kembali duduk di bangku di sebrangku. walaupun aku pura² tidak memperhatikan aku merasakan curatan matanya ke arahku.

lalu dia berdiri lagi, pas ketika kereta juga berhenti. tapi hey.. dia tidak keluar juga.. hanya melongokkan kepalanya lalu masuk dan duduk di sebelahku. ah, apa yang dia mau ya? akankah dia menegurku? atau aku hanya ke-GR-an dengan tingkah lakunya? atau mungkin tidurku lucu sehingga dia memperhatikanku dengan tekunnya? atau mungkin aku mengorok tadi? uuhhh... malu banget...

kulihat sosok badannya maju ke depan dan mulai dengan beraninya melihat ke arahku.. daannn.... oops, this is my stop and i'm already late for work.. aku berdiri, dan berlari keluar dari kereta.

kulihat sekilas lelaki muda itu berdiri dan mencoba mengikutiku. tapi aku jalan dengan cepat. sudah jam setengah sepuluh. setengah jam telat nih. aku terus berjalan sampai tak kulihat lagi bayangannya dari pantulan kaca² di sekitar stasiun. hmm... apa ya maumu? sayang kau kurang cepat. see you in my dreams, then...
