I'm Back!!!

It's been almost three months i didn't write on this blog. a lot of things to be thought and so many things to do kept me away from writing.
during that time, a lot of things happened to me. I removed my IUD coz i couldn't bare the pain no more, got busy on my routine works at the office, and my house renovation was showing significant progress.

But most important thing is I got two similar activities which "rock" my world a bit. couldn't write here what the activities was, coz it's quite embarrassing, hehehhee... but i assure you, i didn't break the law... lol...

Weird dream 'O mine

Do you realize that we often forget what's the content of our dream after we wake up from sleeping? we often remember our dream as a blur event, not really understand what the meaning or the plot. Well, it occasionally happened to me.
But last night was very weird. I remembered my dream clearly. I even kinda felt it... It was about my ex.. i haven't seen him for about five years since we broke up. i didn't even think about him for a very very long time, which is kind of impossible for me to dream of him... but i did somehow.... his face was very pale, he asked me to drive him to his parent's house and i drove him there. he wanted to see his father. but as far as i know, his father has passed away. Is it a message he tried to send me? Is he sick out there? or was he deeply thinking 'bout me at that time? I got a lot of question in my head but no answer at all.

Whatever the meaning of that dream, i do hope that my ex is okay wherever he is right now... i really do..

Man are more complicated than women

A man got angry with me. When we argued, he's so stubborn so I said "I wasn't stupid, you know". Then he said angrily "Yeah, I know you're smart, I'm the one who's stupid" then he left the room, leaving me confused what that I did wrong?. Sometimes, no... most of times, men are complicated. i just don't understand, even if i've been living with him for 4 years, I still don't get a clue. Who said that women are complicated creatures? we're definitely not!.
Anyway, when I googled the term "difference between men and women" I found this quite interesting joke, it helped me cheer for a while, so I guess if you're a woman, you'd might enjoy it.


Differences Between Man and Women

Names
If Mary, Susan, Claire and Barbara go out for lunch, they will call each other Mary, Susan, Claire and Barbara.
If John, Brad, Tony and Daniel go out, they will affectionately refer to each other as Bruno, Scrappy, Peanut-Head and Godzilla.

Eating Out
When the bill arrives, John, Brad, Tony and Daniel will each throw in $20, even though the total is only $34.25. None of them will have any smaller bills and none will admit they want change back.
When Mary, Susan, Claire and Barbara get their bill, out come the pocket calculators.

Money
A man will pay $10 for a $5 item he needs.
A woman will pay $5 for a $10 item that she doesn't need, because it's on sale.

Bathrooms
A man has five items in his bathroom: a toothbrush, razor, shaving cream, a bar of soap, and a towel from the Motel 6.
The average number of items in a woman's bathroom is 328. The average man would not be able to identify most of them.

Arguments
Women always have the last word in an argument. Anything a man adds after that is the beginning of a new argument.

Cats
Women love cats.
Men may say they love cats, but when women are not looking, will men kick cats.

Future
A woman worries about the future -- until she gets a husband.
A man never worries about the future -- until he gets a wife.

Success
A successful man is one who makes more money than can be spent by his wife.
A successful woman is one who can find that a man.

Marriage
A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, and she does.

Dressing Up
A woman will dress up when she goes shopping, empties the garbage, answers the phone, waters the plants, gets the mail and reads a book.
A man will dress up for weddings and funerals.

Natural
Men wake up looking as good as when they went to bed.
Women will somehow deteriorate during the night.

Children
A woman knows all about her children. She knows about their best friends, romances, secret hopes and dreams, favorite foods, fears and dental appointments.
A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.

Thought for the Day
Married men should forget their mistakes. There is no need for two people to remember the same thing.

Hahahahhahaha... the last one quite hit me in the head....lol

How to get high TOEFL Score / Bagaimana cara mendapat skor TOEFL yang Tinggi

Beberapa hari yang lalu, adikku Meiki tanya, "Kak gimana sih cara mendapatkan nilai TOEFL yang bagus?" soalnya dia mo ngambil S2 tahun ini. Pertanyaan yang sama juga pernah diajukan oleh beberapa temen yang kadang2 menganggap bahasa inggris itu momok yang menakutkan. sebenarnya gampang banget caranya. TOEFL alias Test of English as Foreign Language klo menurut aku hampir sama dengan psikotest. tentu saja perbedaanya adalah kamu paling nggak harus sudah berada di tingkat minimal intermediate lah penguasaan bahasa inggrisnya. klo sudah di level itu, tinggal persiapan mental aja.. Hahahahahaa... Okay, buat adekku dan temen2 yang mo persiapan test TOEFL, ini ada tips dikit buat kalian:
1. Jangan deg-deg an duluan, usahain tenang dan fokus. karena test ini butuh konsentrasi tingkat tinggi.
2. Jangan belajar di malam sebelum kamu test, istirahat aja. Ilmunya udah ada di otak, ga bakalan nambah banyak hanya dengan belajar gila2an dalam waktu yang sempit. Sebaliknya, istirahat yang cukup dan banyak air putih dapat meningkatkan konsentrasi dan bikin badan fit. Kalo dah gini, perang pun bakal terasa gampang.
3. Harus Sarapan! jangan sampe perut keroncongan sebelum test, karna nanti otakmu bakal sibuk mikirin makanan sehingga konsentrasi buyar.
3. Pada saat test, jangan sampe noleh kanan kiri. Kaga ada waktu buat itu. Nyontek itu ngga baik and survey membuktikan nyontek tetangga sebelah lebih banyak salah daripada benernya.
4.Super fokus pada soal LISTENING. ini soal yang ga bisa diulang lagi. Sekali lagi, KONSENTRASI!.
5. Pada saat soal reading, jangan baca readingnya berulang-ulang. Buang-buang waktu. Baca soalnya dulu baru cari jawaban di readingnya.

Nah, dengan ilmu kamu dan tips diatas, mudahan skor TOEFL nya bisa maksimal. Tips itu berhasil buat aku.
Good luck!

Cats in the cradle

After 10 years, today is the first time I listened to Cats in the cradle, a song from Ugly kid joe. It came to me because my son Rino watched "Shrek the Third" last afternoon and asked me to accompany him watching it. there's a line that "Donkey" sang this song when Shrek was about to depart for a voyage looking for the next heir of Far Far Away Kingdom.
Back to the song, the music is deep, the lyric even more.. even in the slightest it looks very simple (just a couple conversation between a father and a son) but the meaning really touched my heart. "Our child will be just like us", so if you wanna raise a good kid, act like one....
