zoon politikon essay. all so blahs. shud've done it days ago. i actually did. started both of them 2-3 days ago. eergh. my homeworks are piling up. don't teachers care about the welfare of their students? wat if we go mentally ill and stressed or worst suicidal because of the works we have to do! arrh! so much for

i changed it tho. nice song, no? it's
One Breath Out by Liam Singer. i really love the piano on the song. so soothing. =)
oh well. it's getting late. and i sort of haven't done my CAS homework. (and by sort of, i mean i never touched the paper. blahs). i'll figure someting out. i'm a smart student, see. hahas.

OmiGod!! I just finished
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows on Sunday (tee hee finished it in 2 days!) The last installment of the epic journey of the boy wizard, Harry Potter. And it ended marvelously.
When I first got my hands on the book, I've got this mixture of feelings inside of me. Part of myself is happy for finally having the book but another part of me is also sad... Seeing as it's ending. The end of it all. It's like something will be missing. Nothing to look forward to in the coming years.
I've been a fan of Harry Potter for years now. I think it started when I was 9, which was 5 years ago. Looking back, it has been the best 5 years of my life... A little bit over the top, maybe. But it's true. It's a wonderful story and there's always a message behind the 500 pages of incredible adventures.
Oh, I also realised, from reading the book, I've actually witness a boy wizard grow... The first time I read it, he was 11, now he's 17... . Emotionally, mentally etc etc. It's sort of like seeing ME grow. Cos I've practically grow with the book. Hahahaha. I can picture my self, 9 years old, sinking in the sofa, deep inside my imagination with Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in my hands.
And then some 5 years later. Same old me. Just grown taller. Now in high school. Now deep inside the last installment of Harry Potter...
And it ended there. It's really amazing that book. It's ever so enchanting, don't you think?
Maybe one day, some 5-10 years in the future, I'll open my whole collection again. And start from the very beginning.
'All was well.' And so it is... =)

Hey-ho! Guess wat, i found a new quote from
The New World (it's a movie):
John Smith: Love... shall we deny it when it visits us... shall we not take what we are given?
aahahaha. found lotsa quotes. oh-oh! another one! from
Twilight by Stephenie Meyer:
"So what you're saying is, I'm your brand of heroin?" I teased, trying to lighten the mood. He smiled swiftly, seeming to appreciate my effort. "Yes, you are
exactly my brand of heroin"
I actually have another one from
13 Little Blue Envelopes. but i forgot. gotta look at the book first. haha!
That John Smith quote is so true! don't we deny love sometimes? when it finally came to us... We deny that it's right in front of us sometimes... then we ask that following question. shall we not take the love that has been preciously given to us?? hmm. makes u thiink, nawh?? hehe.
As for the Twilight quote. it's just SIMPLY ROMANTIC!! hahaha.
off ah. maw nonton harry potter and the goblet of fire on HBO!! yeah!
gnite. sleep tight! =)
PS:
HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS!! OUT TMRW!!! AAAARRRHHH!!

halo smua!! waa dah lama gw update niey. smua kegiatan blogging gw tertunda sejak balik dari Hanoi and KL last sunday. huhuhu.
sooo. nothing's really up with my world rite now.
eh tapi tapiii.. gw tadi nonton
harry potter and the order of the phoenix. my reaction to the movie?
i hate to say... but, i am dissappointed with the movie. coz mnurut gw terlalu banyak yg di potong2. secara gw udah baca bukunya, film nya jadi ga gitu berkesan gitu. agak lompat2.
well, film nya masih dalam tahap ok siihh. and klo di tonton dua kali masih oke2 ajah. tapi ga sebagus yg sbelum2nya. gw gatau ini karena beda sutradara (?) atooo apa yaa?? well, emang sih, ga mungkin bisa persis banget kayak di bukunya.. klo ga kan gw bakal duduk di bioskop slama 4 jam !! huhu. pegel bo!!
tapi gw sebel bgt ga ada adegan quidditch sama skalii. padahal di buku ke 5, adegan quidditch nya KEREN BANGET NGET NGET. bayangin klo ga baca di buku aja udah keren, gimana kalo dijadiin film coba? kerennya pol2an. hehehe.
all in all. i give this movie 4 stars instead of the usual 5. hehe.
owh, for those who have seen the movie (and haven't read the book) and is not sattisfied enought with the movie. i recommend u to read the book... (yes, i preffer book to movie.. haha.)
well, this is so long as it's gonna get for tonite.
gnite..
love,
nandraaa.

Lost in Vietnam - Part 1
Aloha! hoho. salah nih, tp sampe skarang gw gataw bahasa Vietnam nya "Halo!". hehehe. tau ah!
Eniweiiiiis! Let's start. Soooo, gw nyampe Hanoi Sabtu malem, jam stgh 9an. Begitu keluar dari airport..
CULTURE SHOCK.
Ni kota beda bgt sama Jakarta. Yang sama paling kegilaan orang ber-motor. hehe. parah bgt! salib sana, salib sini! hii. syerem eike. huhu.
Hanoi tuh bisa dibilang lebih bersih dari Jakarta (yaiyalah!). Terus sperti kata nyokap, pny karakter. Gedung2 lama yg bergaya European masih aja ada. Keren lowh. Kayak Kota klo di Jkt. Tapi masih bersih dan terjaga.
Sooooooo, kmaren gw makan Grilled Fish Vietnam style! Yeah! Susah nih ngejelasinnya. harus ksana dan nyobain. can't describe it in words hehe. saking uniknya cara mereka nyediain makanannya. pokoke klo lo ke Hanoi, pasti di recommend makan disitu.. ;p
Trus gw ke temple gtuwh yg kata org2 sana sih, dulu ada kura2 gedeeee gtu di danaunya (secara temple itu ada di tengah2 danau). trus jamannya dynasty cina gtu, tu kura2 grabbed some sword or somewat. pokoknya there's a legend bout kura2 dan pedang. ehehehhe.
Btw, suatu kebodohan yang teramat sangat bodoh (yaiyalah!) terjadi.... Kan critanya gw mesen ice tea gtu. Nah, berhubung kurang manis, gw ambil aja deh gelas kecil gtu yg (gw kira) gula. Dengan bodohnya gw tuang itu 'gula' ke iced tea gw.
ga lama kmudian, gw terbengong waktu bokap nuang itu 'gula' ke nasi goreng nya.
gw: Yah, itu kan gula...
bokap: Ini kecap asin, kok! (nyobain tu kecap/gula) Iya kok...
gw: *cengok*
Intinya, gw masukin KECAP ASIN ke ice tea gw!! S**T!! *aduh nandra bodoh skali kamuuu ini!!! PLAK PLAK!! (nampar muke ndiri)* tapi gw minum jg sih. hehe.
moral of the story: mendingan coba dulu gula yang ada di depan Anda sebelum dimasukin ke teh. huhu.
Sbenernya, kmaren kita cman makan dan belanja doang. Maw nonton water puppet sih, tapi keabisan tiket huhu.
Hari ini, gw bangun jam 10. Missed breakfast, so ate instant noodle instead. tapi abis itu langsung makan lagi di Club Opera. and i havta tell u, it is sooooooooo good! recommended rest. in Hanoi! ;p
Dengan perut (terlalu) kenyang, kita ke Army Museum. TAPI, eh tapi... TUTUP. swt dah.
Yasud. lanjut ke Ho Chi Minh Museum & Mausoleum. TUTUP jg. huhu. yasud lah. jalan2 aja. Trus duduk2 di cafe. PW lowh cafe nya... hihi.
Lalu, berhubung pada capek, balik lagi ke hotel..
Malemnya.. MAKAN LAGII. pulang2 gendut deh gw.. (amiiiin!) Gw sekluarga makan di sbuah cafe namanya Brother's Cafe. Begitu masuk... aaaaahhh romantis bgt tempatnyaaaaa!! I mean romantic as in, lights hanging on the trees. Candles on the tiny round table. aaaawh. to tweet lah!
But it's kinda expensive. xp . Tapi worth it jg sih. Since it's an 'all u can eat' buffet. (bkn all u can drink lowh! hehe.) trus piringnya ga blh dimakan. since u can't eat that! *aduh apa sih nandra jayus bgt! PLAK! PLAK!*
Namun... ada suatu kesusahan disini. org2 disini banyak yg ga bisa bhs inggris. jadi sbel ndiri gw nih. hehe. but it doesn't reduce my holiday spirit! yeah!
Btw, jujur aja yah, i'm kinda homesick nih. huhu.
kangen rumah
kangen jakarta
kangen ps
snayan city
eX
sudirman
tendean
huhuhu.
but take a look at the bright side, i'm here to learn bout new things. meet new people. understand other culture and history. i'm sure it's worth LOTS to be here.
jadiii, bwat yang lagi pada liburaan, mau lo di LA, NY, London, Paris, Uganda, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Papua, Melbourne, Moscow, Shanghai, dimana pun Anda berada! Enjoy ur holiday with full HOLIDAY SPIRIIIT!!
jgn cuman gara2 homesick, ga cocok sm makanan, ato masukin kecap asin ke es teh jadi halangan buat lo menikmati liburan lo. udah bagus bisa liburan! ya ga ya ga??!!<- kok jadi kayak bhs bayi yah? hehe.
yasud. berhubung internet teramat sangat mahal dan lamaaaaaaaaa POL, kita sudahi episode satu dariii:
"LOST IN VIETNAM"
enjoy ur summer vacation people (even if it means on the sofa, in the living room, in front of the tivo ;p)
from hanoi, with love,
nandra~
