Avianto's Journal

today is one of the most busy day in my life…

started at 3.45 at jakarta, i woke up and get ready to go to bandung (again)… 4.15 picked up by taxi and went straight to train station… ugh, dropped my wallet at the taxi… call that taxi’s company and wait around 30 minutes until the taxi returned and gave me back my wallet… (never forgot that driver’s bad attitude… i kinda like to punch him on the nose…).

buy 5.30 train’s ticket… the train came late around 5.45 and departed at 6.00… damn why this train always late? maybe because it’s the only train from jakarta to bandung? i don’t know… but it kinda suck, wasn’t it?

arrived around 9.00 and get my car at the rental parking lot on the station. went straight to my friend’s place to borrow her computer. have a chat and back to my place around 11.00…

working on my paper until 15.00 and fall asleep… my girl came at around 16.00 and we both going out for lunch… yeah, lunch at 16.00… great wasn’t it?

after having lunch and nowhere to go, i just drove around the city until we passed the cinema… well, movies seems like a nice timeout right now.. so ‘rush hour 2′ it was…

finish around 20.00 and drove my girl back to her place… get back to my place, and here i am writing this at the internet cafe in front of my place…

i need rest…. =) goodnight everybody…

i arrived at bandung at 01.00 today…

bandung still a great city… except today is a very hot day… my, it feels as hot as jakarta!

but despite of all that, today is a great day… spent some times with my girl and some friends, picked my mom at train station at night… now here i am, writing this…

nothing much happening right now, only some of this and some of that… the usual stuff, nothing more. well, the american things still a big conversation here, especially about the negative sentiment to the arabs and moslem people… c’mon american, grow up! it’s like saying if one people steal then all people must be stealing too… sick isn’t it?

well, the loss of many life is troublesome… but loss of freedom because of prejudice is more pathetic…

no… this is not a scene from a movie, this is real. two hijacked plane crushed the twin tower (both of them) at new york city. thrill

well, i have to post this… because it’s on the news everywhere and i mean everywhere. on the tv (every news channel are broadcast this again and again), on the net (causing major slowdown on every news website, some of them are even down), on the mailing list (pau-mikro, one of my mailing list, was become a reporting mailing list), on icq … everywhere.

it’s just shocking.. amazing… terrifying… horrifying… maybe.. maybe whoever did this have the strong reason why they did that… but why take so many life? that is just not too right…

well, not in here… but on my main website. i know… i know, i spent a lot of time complaining and yapping about flash but this is something i always want to do…

as i said i always love flash, especially if they are fast and well built. so i tried to made one and put it on the main website because actually there is nothing there… so, what about a little bit of animation?

anyway, tell me what you think about it. is the page working okay? or too slow? too heavy? just drown me with suggestion. until then, i’ll keep on flashing… =)

just watched pasir berbisik (whispering sands) with my girl and some of my friends. great movie, well… cinematically speaking… (kinda remind me of ang lee’s ‘crouching tiger, hidden dragon’) the idea is great but maybe a little bit confusing for some common people.

one thing i keep complaining is one of the main character dian sastrowardoyo is too darn pretty (read: well preserved) for playing as a poor villager girl… =). yeah, that’s right… honest!

well, that’s all about it.. watch it your self and decide it, like it or not… your call, but i recommended you watch this movie as there are not many good indonesian big screen movies right now.

ps: the official website seems only working with ie, i tried with my opera it didn’t show anything.. wonder why… who made this web! accessibility is important!
