behind time now.

i juz wanna do my work now..
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''


i juz woke up like around 40mins ago..
y??
coz i slept a 8.30am..
y??
coz i'm stupid in illustrator
(well computing basicaly)
and it took me whole darn bloody night to figure out
how to use this and that T_T
i've been learning it FYI..
for weeks!!.. but i juz can get it last nite
when i meditate myself in the squarehouse
(squarehouse is a building in UNSW, not literally square house)
all night long..

but it makes me proud!!! XD coz i did it super well..
but it takes too long tho..
makes me kinda behind time..

so this morning at 6.45 when i decided to go,
i wasn't very tired, n not that sleepy either
so i end up imaginating sumthing..
not dirty stuff..
but i imagine how good if i could somehow
find a way to see my precious in the land of dream
it's so soothng to do such a thing when your eyes
tired and kinda lose focus..
you only need to focus on one thing
and feel it n smile at it..
n maybe.. if you're tired enough,
slept beside it..

and.. what's wrong with sydney last nite man?!?..
darn cold.. it says only 10-11
infact it feels like 6-8 XD
it was super cold..
lucky i got a car..
so i can turn n the heater n all good..

but seriously..
it was a nice winter sunrise this morning
reminds me how much i love the winter morning
like 8years ago.
well, i was a kid by then..
not much burden..

do u realize as you grows older
more burden on your shoulder
and when cold comes
you feel the emotional things going on
especially when you just got a problem or sumthin
makes you feel like you need so emotional warmth

when you were a kid and you were happy
ignorant, easy going, being stupid..
you wouldn't feel these kinda feelings..
you don't feel that you need a partner

i wish i can change my way of thinking
as simple as a little kid..
as imaginative as them..
as pure as them..

however.. it doesn't feel like autumn anymore here
and the funny thing is that this autumn
there are not much leaves on the street..
and luckily not much hectic rains..

stupid

i have 1 friend which become a psychologist
she said i have to stop calling myself stupid
she've been soooo mad everytime i say i am stupid
coz she said i am not stupid
and according to her,
keep on calling yourself stupid can affect your psychology
which gonna reduce your confidence,
performance, and in fact
continued to reduce your chances and choices in life.

in psychology, all the things that you do have a reason
for example you'll feel pretty coz your parents, your
relatives and people around you must have been calling
you pretty since you're small
therefore you wouldn't think about
plastic surgery, diet, or watsoever

and in my case, my whole family been calling me stupid
since i was young, because i was way younger than them
obviously i look stupid so badly for them.

in real life, i stupid, but not that stupid.
lotsa people notice that i'm bright.
at least for sometimes..

but today, now,
i really do feel so stupid, ugly
coz not even a patience can handle me
not even the closest person think so
not even bright in the worse ones

now i start to think..
probably i should stay with that old stupid place
that would give me some confidence and bring me to life

a stupid place can stop me to shrink
and change myself as fast as Ali

but why that stupid place only can makes me feel safe
while i'm a person that can't stand monotonuous


all around the world knows
the fact that
the most prosperous place is the most dangerous place
but yet
the safest place on earth is the most rubbish place.

why sucha rule have to be there in this world.
it juz gives me headache.
n makes me become like now..
talking crap in here
letting people confused and only understand that
"oh.. she said that she's stupid"
oh well.. juz pitter patter chitter chatter
bizz buzzin, with no direction
so please lemme float here
like a shit in the river
and you don't need to care.

thank you..

have a car..

good news:
now i have my "private transport" (PT)

experience news bout the good news:
i'm a person that hold my pee for quite long
and now i can't do that since i hv my PT

few days ago i suddenly feeling like wanna pee ady when i was "riding"
some more my belt so tight.. felt like squizing my pee out..
n then when i get to my house n i need to park
it's really hard for me to concentrate to get it parked
some more i'm a noob.. T_T

so moral from the good news:
make sure you pee before riding

this thing been happening to me few times T_T
but of course each time not as bas as the first one..

fave ad for my whole life long

hey ya!!
this time i blog juz to record and share
the greatest advertisement of all time!!!
well at least for me..
and for some indonesians..

this advertisement series published from 2006-2007
yes!! series!! beautiful concept
beautiful making
beautiful thought they put in (talk as a designer myself)
beautiful musical piece
beautiful indonesia..

every single movement, properties, decoration
all are our cultures and symbols that has meaning behind it
like beras and the celebration,
why they choose the fire and the weapon in "cahaya asa"
all are our culture that has meaning behind it.

as indonesian that loves indonesia so deep
this advertisement is the first ad that thrills,
gives me goosebump and makes me cry, touched..
and it happens everytime i watch it!!
yes!! everytime!! even till now..
except if i'm watching to look at the details and
investigate the design n thoughts in it.
or focusing to listen to the old javanese language.

till now i still can't hear properly the javanese poet in "cahaya asa"
but i know it must b meaningful
dats y i wanna know..
so any indonesian actually read my blog n know it..
i beg u please tell me what is it..
i wanna know the meaning of the beginning words that
starts the wayang gunungan..
and the last part i only can hear
"joyo joyo wojoyo kusumo"
XD sad.. maybe my hearing really bad
coz of the shallow knowledge of my old javanese language.

so here are the videos..

1. "Cahaya Asa" (the best of all)

this video made for christmas and new year.

more into the new year tho..
all the movement, properties and culture in this one
are prayers..
prayers of a better beginning
prayers of hope,
prayers of spirits and any other thing..


i would like to explain every single detail
but yet, it's too long
as in too cultural n damn long to explain XD
however. i hope u feel the aura of prayers
and the sacral land of indonesia



2. "Rumahku Indonesiaku" (the beginning of the series)

the rest of the series is not as good as this one i reckon..
but the thought behind it is good too..
if u wanna check it out u can check "Rumahku Indonesiaku"
in youtube.. then you can see the rest of the series.
there is 1 of em that been pulled from publication coz of political issues
i'm not happy with that, but oh well.. as long as we can see it in youtube..

actually the videos will gives you the whole feeling more when
you see it in high quality.. so u can juz browse it in youtube to get
the high quality..
then you can see the details n stuff..
me as a designer, surprised how all the details that you wouldn't
even notice closely would be thought very well in the making.

and i love this ad till i go find the people behind it
and i met 1 of the fresh grad that work as a creative director
in that "cahaya asa" making..
he told me how much the budget was..
and the making took 10 days
which is very long for an advertisement
and 10 days doesn't include the pre-make and post-make
10 days is only the shoot taking and stuff..
i asked him for te copy of the ad XD
dats how much i love it..
but it only can b opened in mac XD n i don't hv mac..
so me myself hvn't enjoy that copy till now T_T
sad..

so enjoy 1 of my fave ad of all time..
hope you love it..

"mulia mulia mulialah indonesiaku"
