Updates

Whew ... has been ages since I updated this blog. Been lazy. I can't evade saying that I've been a lazy bum lately.

Anyway, in this one month, many things have been happened. I'm officially a university student now, for one thing, though I haven't started any of my class yet. I was delayed because of silly, stupid payment errors, and missed all lessons in my first week as a result. 'Twas annoying! Hrrr...

Well, at least I can get in time for my second week, of which the first lesson will begin just in two hours time. Best of all, it's Myth and Legends, one of the subjects that previously interested me when I was still in PIBT! Gosh, I'm lucky I can take it now! Well, on the downside, it seems this subjects is more into Greek mythology than fairy tales, but that doesn't matter. It's still related to stories -- now that matters.


Another update: I changed my internet connection to Vividwireless. This has unlimited connection and costs $79 per month, which after being shared with two of my housemates costs me around $26.33333333 something. It's good, I suppose. Before I had to pay $29 per month and only got 2 GB. If I compared the prices, it sure is great!

But, well, nothing is perfect, I suppose. It's unlimited, indeed, but only works at home. That means I can't use internet outside house except at uni. No more reading online manga in the park! Oh, nooooooo!


Yet another update: I'm thinking of changing my SIM card. GoTalk SUCKS. The signal is as good as trying to breath inside a mud. Sometimes I'm wondering if that's the cause I couldn't get a job -- maybe someone did call me, but couldn't reach me thanks to my poor signal? Well, I know it sounds a bit like an excuse, but better get rid of that possibility before it really happens.

So far, I think I'll change to Vodafone, but I have no time to buy it now. I'll get one tomorrow after the lesson. It's Modern Media Writing. Unlike today's lecture, I don't feel really interested in this one, but it's not a bad thing to try. I have no choice, after all. All other subjects, including the ones I want, have been full. Well, who knows if it turns out I'll like it?


What else? Oh, yeah, by the way, lately I'm trying to type using ten fingers. I started considering this when I saw Shevan (is it her name Shevan? I don't really remember -- she's one of the PIBT receptionists) typing so fast with ten fingers, and even without looking at the keyboard. I think that'll be cool if I can do that -- surely it will fasten my time of writing -- so I started practicing. I'm still not very used to it, though. I know where the keys are, but I can't help glancing into the keyboard. I don't know why. Has been some kind of habit, I suppose. Oh well, everything needs practice. I just hope I can get used to it very soon.


Last but not least, I have finally got an idea of what looks like a promising story to write. It's titled "Cobweb," though I still have no idea what the subtitle will be. It's sci-fi, which is very new for me. I never write anything that doesn't involve a teeny-weeny drop of magic before, but I started thinking that there're too much magic that the world needs a bit more fantasy science. You see, I don't like being the same with the others. I always wants to find something different. So far I don't know any Sci-Fi novel for children, so why don't I make one?

It will involve a lot of monsters called "bugs." I tried to draw one of the bugs yesterday, and the result is quite amazing. I want to scan it and post it tomorrow. Weirdly enough, I still haven't decided the appearance of the main character, but I think it can wait. The main character, Cobweb, is the most "normal" looking character in the story, so ... I basically have no idea of how he will look like. I'll think about it later.


That's all for now, I suppose. From today, I think it's better if I put more about myself in this blog. I don't want anyone to read it -- this is just my private blog. This is not for publication. This blog is the only place I can talk about myself, so please, I beg you, don't leave any comment here. I feel better when thinking nobody reads my blog.

See ya.

  2. Gah! Crap, I told you not to read it! Weird, where do you find this website address? I thought, with the new design in Facebook (which is much cooler but not very much useful), nobody will know that I have a website. Hrrr...

    Thanks, anyway. Yeah, finally I'm in university, which means I'm still one semester under you. Which means my educational level is lower than you. Which means ... Motherfudge!

    Okay, how's Indonesia? Everything's all right?
