Home (Michael Buble)

Another summer day
has come and gone away
In Paris or Rome...
but I wanna go home
...uhm Home
may be surrounded by
a million people I
still feel all alone
just wanna go home
I miss you, you know

And I've been keeping all the letters
that I wrote to you,
Each one a line or two
I'm fine baby, how are you?
I would send them but I know that it's just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that

Another aeroplane, another sunny place,
I'm lucky I know
but I wanna go home
I got to go home

Let me go home

I'm just too far from where you are
I wanna come home


And I feel just like I'm living
someone else's life
It's like I just stepped outside
when everything was going right
And I know just why you could not come along with me
This was not your dream
but you always believed in me...

Another winter day
Has come and gone away
in either Paris or Rome
and I wanna go home
Let me go home

And I'm surrounded by
A million people I
still feel alone
Let me go home
I miss you , you know

Let me go home
I've had my run
baby I'm done
I gotta go home

Let me go home
it'll all be alright
I'll be home tonight
I'm coming back home"

50 Lessons Learned From Movies

I wast just stumbling, and I found this article. True and hilarious.

If you’ve watched a lot of movies like I have, you’ll find these pretty hilarious. Here are 50 lessons learned from movies:

1. If being chased through town, you can usually take cover in a passing St Patrick’s Day parade – at any time of the year.

2. All beds have special L-shaped top sheets that reach up to armpit level on a woman but only waist level on the man lying beside her.

3. All grocery shopping bags contain at least one stick of French bread.

4. Once applied, lipstick will never rub off – even while scuba diving.

5. The ventilation system of any building is a perfect hiding place. No one will ever think of looking for you in there and you can travel to any other part of the building without difficulty.

6. Should you wish to pass yourself off as a German officer, it will not be necessary to speak the language. A German accent will do.

7. The Eiffel Tower can be seen from any window of any building in Paris.

8. A man will show no pain while taking the most ferocious beating but will wince when a woman tries to clean his wounds.

9. When paying for a taxi, never look at your wallet as you take out a note – just grab one at random and hand it over. It will always be the exact fare.

10. If you lose a hand, it will cause the stump of your arm to grow by 15cm.

11. Mothers routinely cook eggs, bacon and waffles for their family every morning, even though the husband and children never have time to eat them.

12. Cars and trucks that crash will almost always burst into flames.

13. A single match will be sufficient to light up a room the size of a football stadium.

14. Medieval peasants had perfect teeth.

15. All single women have a cat.

16. Any person waking from a nightmare will sit bolt upright and pant.

17. One man shooting at 20 men has a better chance of killing them all than 20 men firing at one.

18. Creepy music coming from a graveyard should always be closely investigated.

19. Most people keep a scrapbook of newspaper cuttings – especially if any of their family or friends has died in a strange boating accident.

20. It does not matter if you are heavily outnumbered in a fight involved martial arts – your enemies will wait patiently to attack you one by one by dancing around in a threatening manner until you have knocked out their predecessor.

21. During a very emotional confrontation, instead of facing the person you are speaking to, it is customary to stand behind them and talk to their back.

22. When you turn out the light to go to bed, everything in your room will still be clearly visible, just slightly bluish.

23. Dogs always know who’s bad and will naturally bark at them.

24. When they are alone, all foreigners prefer to speak English to each other.

25. Rather than wasting bullets, megalomaniacs prefer to kill their arch-enemies using complicated machinery involving fuses, pulley systems, deadly gases, lasers and man eating sharks that will allow their captives at least 20 minutes to escape.

26. Having a job of any kind will make all fathers forget their son’s eighth birthday.

27. All bombs are fitted with electronic timing devices with large red readouts so you know exactly when they’re going to go off.

28. It is always possible to park directly outside the building you are visiting.

29. A detective can only solve a case once he has been suspended from duty.

30. If you decide to start dancing in the street, everyone you bump into will know all the steps.

31. If you decide to hack into the CIA database, all you need is a laptop and an internt connection. it will usually take about 10 seconds to get into the system and you will usually be undetected.

32. No matter how dirty the water is, it is still possible for you to jump in and open your eyes underwater. You’ll be able to see everything clearly and your eyes wont hurt.

33. In every bar you go into, the bartender will always know how to make any and every long named drink of your choice.

34. When walking in a quiet and dark area, its only fair to ask if someone is there.

35. It’s always possible to outrun a explosion/fireball by running straight towards the camera, sometimes in slow motion.

36. The prologue and/or epilogue, when applicable, is always narrated by a soothing calm monotone voiced individual, preferably Morgan Freeman.

37. Never be afraid to jump off of a building into an open dumpster, as the contents will most likely always be clean, fluffy garbage bags.

38. Most police officers HATE partners. If they do have a partner that they trust and like, he/she will die.

39. The last bad guy in a shootout is too tough to die fast like everyone else. He must pretend to give up or be dead, and suddenly try to shoot one of the good guys. Then and only then can he die quickly.

40. Cars can screech tires and burn rubber even if they’re on gravel or sand.

41. Everybody’s phone number starts with 555.

42. Monsters always make noise before attacking.

43. If you have face stubble….you have a dark mysterious past.

44. Ancient Romans had English accents.

45. Nobody has morning breath in the movies…the first thing a couple does is kiss each other when they wake up.

46. All helocopter crashes occur on the other side of the mountain.

47. Computers in sci-fi films have either male or female voices that speak in a calm, reassuring tone even in the most extreme situations.

48. In high speed chases, no car ever runs out of gas.

49. Funerals usually happen when it rains. The hardest, bravest, coolest person is usually the one without an umbrella or hat and usually stands alone either to the side or behind everyone.

50. If your female who has never been on a date or even been hit on, don’t worry. All it takes is some contacts, new hair styles, and new clothes to make you the baddest bitch in the town.

Sports Day!

Finally, Sports Day came. I was very nervous. I'm not sure whether I'm fast enough to participate in the 100m run. I don't wanna be the last to cross the finish line -_-. So I talked to Weishan, and she talked to Mr Chong and Mr Beng. And they all said, "Just try your best, have fun." Hmmm tetep aja stress ini -_-

So, at last, I did it. And I wasn't 1st, or 2nd, or 3rd. But I wasn't last either. I think I was 5th or 6th or 7th (out of 11). Well, not bad. But still, it would've been better if I got a medal.

The day went on, and.... 3E2 didn't win any medals. HAHA. Well never mind, at least we had fun. So, this was my first Sports Day experience. Not bad, although it could've been more fun. Well, actually, it was... A little bit boring. I even read a book there -_-, but never mind. Haha

More Mid Year Exam results!

Today, I finally found out my Math Mid Year Exam results:

  • E. Maths Paper 1: 61 out of 80! Yeeay :D
  • E. Maths Paper 2: 47 out of 80! Quite good :)
  • A. Maths: 18 out of 80. Very very bad. But, well, I'm not used to it yet..
So that's it. And I just found out today that we're not supposed to leave our books in class. Ahhh. Then does that mean I have to bring all those heavy books home? No please :( Well, a few is ok, but the whole bunch of it.. Wow that's real heavy!

Hmm, oh yeah. I'm getting quite nervous for the PHSS Carnival and Sports day.. It's on Friday. And I'm going to run the 100m girls' run. I hope I'm fast enough. I hope I'll be able to start quickly, and not waste time, and win 1st prize. Aamiin...

Oh yeah, there was an assembly at school today, and there was this group that came, I can't remember the name, and I didn't really manage to hear their name. But what I wanted to emphasize is.. That they used Indonesian instruments in their performance. I mean, wow. That's cool. Indonesian instruments! And... This proves to us that even the non-Indonesians are using our traditional instruments, so why aren't we? We're Indonesians, it's our job to preserve the Indonesian music instruments.

So, I guess that's all I'd like to say now. Thank you for reading :)

Got to give all I have! Gonna get DISTINCTIONS for my O level!

Here are the results of the Mid Year Exam:

My Mid Year Exam results.. Not so good, but I bet I can catch up! Just watch me!

At last, the Mid Year Exams finished... Today, we went to school as usual, and we studied as usual. Aww man, the MYE has finished, please... I want some fun! In Indonesia, I was preparing for both the national exams, and the PACT. And now, after all of that has finished, I still have to catch up with the things here.

Anyway, I found out the results of some of my MYEs;

  • Malay: 35 out of 70. Did I pass?
  • Geography: 13/40. I FAILED.
For Malay... I think I will do well. I only need to get used to the language, and that's all. It's not quite different from Indonesian, only some of the tenses and words are different. So I think I'll do well later.

For Geography... I will try to do better. Because I know I can do it. I missed a lot of the things, so it's normal for me to fail the test. And... The teacher said I put a lot effort in it, which means I will do better!

So... I guess I'll have to spend some of my holiday studying. I hope I'll learn fast, Aamiin. And I hope I can be one of the smart kids in class, Aamiin. :)

VIVAnews: "Jenglot Ditemukan di Pantai Jimbaran Bali"

I was just checking my Yahoo! Mail, when I saw this headline:

Jenglot Ditemukan di Pantai Jimbaran Bali

I was totally surprised, and I thought maybe you guys would like to take a look at it.



VIVAnews – Warga pantai Labuan Sait Pecatu, Jimbaran, Bali dihebohkan oleh penemuan sepasang makam misterius diantara karang pantai.

Makam tersebut ditemukan pertama kali oleh petugas Bala Wista Labuan Sait Pecatu Jimbaran saat sedang memantau pantai dari atas bukit karang, Jumat 7 Mei 2010. Saat menoleh ke samping kiri, petugas itu curiga dengan gundukan misterius yang ternyata adalah makam.

Setelah makam tersebut digali, warga menemukan tiga buah benda yakni berupa putri duyung rambut panjang berukuran kecil dan dibungkus dengan kain putih dan dua lagi berupa jenglot dengan posisi tidur dan bersila dengan panjang masing-masing sekitar 40 centimeter (cm).

Sementara, di sekitar lokasi penemuan makam tercium aroma wangi yang bercampur bau mayat.

Bendesa adat Pecatu, I Wayan Rebong mengatakan penemuan ini merupakan kejadian pertama kali di wilayahnya sehingga akan memusyawarahkan terlebih dahulu dengan warganya jika harus menghanyutkannya ke laut.

”Ini pertama kali di desa kami. Apakah akan dihanyutkan ke laut atau tidak kita musyawarahkan dulu dengan warga. Sementara ini mayat-mayat tersebut kita letakan di tempat penemuannya dan menunggu hasil,” ujarnya.

Penemuan makam misterius ini pun membuat wisatawan yang menikmati liburannya merasa terganggu. (jn)

What I like and dislike about S'pore.

Since I've been staying for quite a long time now, (hmm, this is my 2nd week in my new school) I would like to share to you my opinion about Singapore.

WHAT I LIKE?

Well, there are a lot of things that I like about Singapore.

1. Singapore is VERY CLEAN. Well, among the other South East Asian countries, I think Singapore must be the cleanest of them all. And well, even bubble gum is now allowed!

2. It's easy to get anywhere. There are MRTs, buses, and taxis. The MRTs and buses are very accurate. They arrive at the time said on the schedule. It's very very predictable. But I'm not saying that the public transportation is perfect though, nothing is perfect. Just today, there was something wrong with the MRT. I was inside the MRT at that time, and we were all told to alight at the Eunos MRT, which is 2 or 3 stations away from where I wanted to alight. There was something wrong, and we were all told to continue our journey on the buses provided. Well, just like I said before, nothing's perfect.



Singapore Bus, SBS Transit



MRT, SMRT


3. The education is SUPERB. The schools are very disciplined, and the education given is also good (y).


WHAT I DISLIKE ABOUT SINGAPORE?

DEFINITELY THE TIME!

06.00 AM IS STILL DARK! It gets bright at 07.00! THAT's TOO LATE! And it GETS DARK AT 07.15 PM. Wow, 06.00 PM SHOULD ALREADY BE DARK!! I just hate the time!!

First week at my new school: Pei Hwa Secondary School

At last this week has came! Well, I wasn't really looking forward to it actually.. Because all I thought about was that 'I'll miss my friends' and nothing else. But well, it turned out that Pei Hwa wasn't bad at all.

I was very very nervous at the first day. I went there by taxi with my mom and my dad, and we arrived at school super fast. We already arrived before 7, and the school starts at around 8.30. Well, of course we didn't know, If we knew that we wouldn't have arrived that fast. But never mind, better to be early than late, especially on the first day of school.

So when we arrived, we met Mr Tan, and then we had a little talk with the VP, she introduced us to Mr Beng, my form teacher, and then she said that the teachers will be having a meeting on every Monday, so the school won't start as early as usual. Well, that's good then :)

We sat at the canteen and waited, and at last Mr Beng came, and then he took me to the class. My class is 3E2, there are 41 students (including me). At first I sat at the back, but then Mr Beng changed my seat with Boon Kuan, so now I'm sitting in the middle.

At the first day, it turned out that there was a NAPFA test after school, and I didn't bring my PE attire! So I had to buy a new set at the school book store -_-. I think I failed one of the tests, the sit & reach test. Hmm it's quite weird actually, becase I think I can reach quite a long distance, and now I failed! Hmm weird. But anyway, I got an A on the shuttle run :D

The next day, it turned out that there was another test! And I didn't bring my PE attire again! Well actually, I already guessed that there will be another test, but it was already too late. I was already on the way to school when I realized that. So at school I had to borrow a PE attire from the general office.

The third day, there wasn't any test anymore, but I still had to bring my PE attire because there was a sport session in the morning. After school there was an English and Social Studies acer. I didn't know at first, so I didn't bring my Social Studies book, but never mind.

On the fourth day, the Mid Year Exams started. The first exam was English. Hmm I didn't know whether I did good or not.. But I hope I will. Anyway, my Mid Year Exam results won't be recorded for the Final Exams, so I'm quite lucky..

The fifth day was the Malay Mid Year Exam. Hmm actually it's not quite hard.. But Malay is different from Indonesian, so I don't know whether my answers were right or not. But anyway, I went home to Indonesia on the fifth day. Monday (3.04.10) is a public holiday, so my father said why don't we go back to Indonesia. Of course I was happy with this invitation! :D

So now I'm in Indonesia, but I'll be going back on Monday. Anyway, the National Exams (UN) will be announced on 7th May!! Wow, I can't wait to see my results.. I hope they're satisfying :D
