About my previous post Heart's a Mess, I was inspired by a friend of mine that making a story based on lyrics. Her name's Dessy, and here's her blog: Purple Daisy. I read a post of her about a story which she made from a song lyrics. And I love it. She told a story from her point of view, that made the song itself came alive. Isn't that all about a song, to tell you a story, and so did she.
Since I'm pretty much interested in such writing things, I guess I want make some from my perspective. So here there is, my first post, my first story, my first prosa tag. :D
However, I made it in Bahasa Indonesia because my lack of ability in writing some English literature, sorry for the inconvenience. Hope you can enjoy. :)

P.S.: tante desiii...aku mengadaptasi idemu yaaaa.... :*

Adios! ^^

Heart's a Mess

“Plakkk!!” sebuah sapaan hangat dari tangan mungil wanita itu cukup membuat pipimu merona. Dia sempat memakimu lalu secepat kilat meninggalkanmu terdiam di sana, sendiri. Sempat kau lihat bayanganmu di kaca air matanya, namun tak pernah kau indahkan itu. Setidaknya itu yang aku lihat dari matamu. Dari sekian banyak hal serupa olehmu.

~ Pick apart pieces of your heart
Let me peer inside
Let me in, where only your thoughts have been

Lalu kali ini kulihat kau termenung. Diam. Menatap kosong segelas es kopi yang sedari sejam lalu kau pesan, yang sepertinya enggan kau minum. Lalu kau mulai menerawang jauh ke dalam gelapnya minumanmu. Mencoba menengok masa lalumu. Mencoba mengingat setiap luka yang ada. Membuatnya hidup kembali, luka-luka itu. Dan aku melihatmu bibirmu bergumam lirih, “Sudahlah” kemudian kamu tersenyum satir.

~ Your heart’s a mess,
You won’t admit to it
You don’t get burned, ‘cause nothing gets through
It makes it easier, easier on you
But that much more difficult for me
To make you see..

Dopamine Booster: Round 2 - Roppan

It's my late post, continuing Dopamine Booster: Round 1 - Myeong Ga post before. After eating lunch at Myeong Ga, we headed to Ciwalk. Kak Avi said that she wanted to buy some toast at Roppan. Kak Avi and I had almost bought some before, but it wasn't so convenience at that time, so we ended up saving that for another time. Finally, we've got a chance to go there, even though our stomach were already full. But there's always an empty space for dessert right? ;)

Roppan stands for Roppongi Pan, which means "bread that bring happiness" (if I'm not mistakenly recall it. CMIIW). And surely it does. There are a lot of kind of toast at Roppan, I couldn't remember one by one. But one thing for sure, they're all tempting! They were all displayed near the cashier so the customer can chose anything they like through its display shelves then being served right away.

Since we split ways because some circumstances, Kak Avi and I riding a public transportation came earlier than others, so we ordered first. We ended up ordering a Honey Toast Matcha Matcha, a lychee tea, and a peach tea. Honey Toast is a signature dish from Roppan, it's a big chunk of toast bread's crust as a place to put the contents. The contents itself consist of toasted bread (the white part) with honey spread all over it, and on the top of it, there're 3 scoop of green tea ice cream with almond, sweet red bean sauce, and dark chocolate as toppings. It's served with green chocolate paste on each corner of the plates.

DOSBox

I remember I posted an article about some old games here. Some of those games need to be executed in a MS-DOS computer. And since there's nothing more like that in present, so they made a system that would just do the same.

DOSBox is an emulator to emulate/simulate an IBM PC compatible computer running the older operating system, MS-DOS. -Wikipedia
I won't say more detail about it, or how the system works in detail. If you want to know more about DOSBox in detail, just go to Wikipedia, it much more reliable than my blog. haha...
here's the Wikipedia's link. and here's where you can get DOSBox emulator.

It is an open source software written in C++ programming language. Apparently, its development is more focusing in running DOS games. It uses command lines to operate. 


For some people who are not really in a good term with all those command lines (including me), using that command-prompt-like, is such a thing to do. I always think that people who can operates a computer or whatever inside it, by using command lines, is the coolest. It's like literally watching their super advance brain doing some works to produce those lines. Okay, even though I'm a student in informatics engineering major, but that's just not my thing. So, I'm sorry for my lack of ability. *bows*

Yay! A new single! :D
They posted it yesterday, June 15th, at 0.00 a.m. I guess. I was still awake at that time and doing something with internet though, but I just realize it this afternoon. So unobservant. hahaha...
Anyway, as usual, they did a nice music with beautiful voice. I have posted before about Standing Egg before (here).
It's a cheerful love song, just like the video that using some cute animations. And, I don't know why, by listening to this song make me feel happy in an instance. I end up replaying this song on and on. :D

For the video version with hangeul, romanization, and translation lyrics, you can watch it here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aI5CzB23NMo
It's not officially posted by Standing Egg, some #eggfan do those editing. Love it anyway, so I know now what that song is about. Thank you! :)

Enjoy! And I will keep going too, to finish what I started.

Adios! ^^

Dopamine Booster: Round 1 - Myeong Ga

Yay! Right when I needed! \(^0^)/
Yesterday, Kak Avi, a close friend of mine came by from Jakarta, and she said wanna hang out for some time. And there we go, to Myeong Ga, a Korean restaurant, or I should say a Korean food stall in front of Korean groceries. She said she'd been craving for its jajangmyun (자장면, black bean paste noodle) for a long time. It's not just the two of us, there were others who came along with us: Reli, Rendy, and Ican. We were planning to go there for lunch, but for some reasons we end up having a late lunch there. Poor our empty stomach..
Anyway, we decided what we wanted to eat. I ordered sundubu ramyun (순두부 라면, ramyun with tofu and egg), Ican ordered bulgogi kimbab (불고기 김밥, kimbab with bulgogi or roasted meat filling), while Kak Avi, Reli, and Rendy ordered jajangmyun. And we also ordered a portion of tteokbokki (떡볶이, rice cake with sauce) as a snack. They're all emptied in no time after it's served. haha... Guess our empty stomach didn't want to compromise more. :D
Now, here're the pictures that Reli had taken. -all credits goes to her-

It's been a hectic weeks of my life. My final project (on my own) deadline will be coming so soon, not more than a month. And I've been doing some extra works everyday about that. I stayed up late till 1 or 2 a.m. for that, well yeah, I'm occasionally did that too although I have nothing to do but internet. :p
Apparently, my brain works its best after dinner time, so most of my works were done in the night. That's why I had to stay awake to the point where my brain couldn't think straight, and my code will be in mess if I still pushing myself to work more. That's just gonna be more work for me.

And because of all that disturbing-mind-things, I even couldn't get a comfy sleeps! *sigh* All I can remember is that I've been dreaming many things regarding my final project, from a nice dream where I finally make it through the end, to a nightmare where I -um, better not telling it here. don't wanna jinx it-
Feel like I was haunted by that thing, wait, It's really haunting me, not just my feeling. And to make it worse, my friends did the same thing, haunting me. Yeah, I really appreciate that they have much care about me, regarding my late on this final project, really glad actually to have friends that keep pushing me to reach my own goal. But, hey, it's not like I didn't make an effort about that.  I'm so sorry for not replying your messages, B's. :(
