tuesday already... last day of Lebaran holiday.
damn.

nothing much happened during the short holiday except doing house chores, eating lots of instant noodles and coffee. the other day Pizza Hut won by the way. coz i couldn't find the tuna anywhere, so i just dialed the numbers and presto... spicy tuna pizza and banana chocolate pizza dessert coming up, huh.. so much for saving up my money.

new things came up though..
i might get those bags after all.. coz mbak Panti bought all the bags that i chose on my last trip to Bali (i meant for her to chose only one of three but she wanted them all...) yesterday my mum called and she was taking yet another family friend around in Bali. and yes! she finally went to the store again.. after all, it only about an hour drive from Denpasar... whua ha ha ha ha eukharisto mummy! bags. bags. lovely bags. a girl can't have too many bags...heaven forbids if we girls came out of the house without a matching bag and shoes :-) LOL

then.. family plans for the X-mas holiday..
* Panti and Yanto might go to Bali for the new year
* Gerry is also going to Bali w/his company staff
*Timo is going to Bandung
*Dinner invitation from a cousin who live in Germany but here for the holiday and wanted to have a family gathering.
*Bless me for having no plan at all.

I got so bored and just furious about the above plan... yes people just go why don't you.. leave the house empty again... it's okay, it's only a house anyway...
there'll be revenge..

here's some "interesting" stuff i found during my boredomadness (Tre.. tui pu chi for cramping your mail box.. *_^)

from Takeshi Kaneshiro's diary.
"At the end, I realized I wrote a lot of rubbish in my essays. Well, it may be OK because it describes what happened during my trip.Travelling to the South Pole, it was a wonderful experience. It was beyond words to express how beautiful a place it is and how pretty the animals are. I felt something that we, human-beings, have lost. It was like you will never be able to see it unless you go to the South Pole, it's rather something dormant in daily life. We are not able to see such things because greediness and having dreams prevent us realizing such things are available around you. Yes, I think if you realize it, you will feel everything troubles you are surrounding you are trivial.Better to remove greediness and focus on your dreams. I will never forget that earth could not exist only for human-beings."

(Tulsa World; By Staff Reports )
11/15/2002 In a few short years, Taylor Hanson has sold millions of records, gotten married and fathered a child -- all before he was of legal age to toast any of these occasions. Hanson, 19, and his wife, Natalie Hanson, 18, announced the birth of their son, Jordan Ezra Hanson, this week. The baby was born Halloween morning. "We're so excited to start a family," Taylor Hanson said in a statement from his management group. "Having Ezra is the best thing we've ever done. Life and art are all about these moments." The couple were married in June in a private ceremony in Georgia. The new father is the middle child of the three musical Hanson brothers. The Tulsa-based group had hit pop albums with "Middle of Nowhere" in 1997 and "This Time Around" in 2000. The trio has completed its third studio record, tentatively titled "Underneath," which is scheduled for an early spring release on Island-Def Jam Records. The album features Hanson pal and rising star Michelle Branch on a song called "Deeper."

[Meteor Rain] sold 4 000 000 sets; Even SonyMusic America's president Mottola have to queue to meet F4!

Last year, [Meteor Rain] sold 4 000 000 asia-wide, and this has caught the attention of SonyMusic's headquarters in America. As this kind of result is very rare in asia (even Japan's top artistes do not sell that well), hence SonyMusic America's president, Tommy Mottola especially called up SonyMusic Taiwan's CEO, Adam, and expressed that he hoped that Adam can bring these 4 boys to America's headquarters to meet him. He wants to see for himself what charms this asia's Westlife have that have actually created such a whirlwind in Asia. But, F4's schedule have already been packed full till 2003, hence it's not quite possible for them to go to America to meet Mottola anytime soon.

REAL Harry Potter gizmos

UseIt.com has an article about how some things in the Harry Potter world may become real objects in the future. Some examples:

The Daily Prophet newspaper has photos that come alive when the wizards look at them.
TabletPC version 3.0 should allow us to read multimedia news at the breakfast table. Combined with eyetracking (which is still a few releases away), we'll rid ourselves of those annoying, constantly moving video clips. Instead, videos will appear as still images that play only when you indicate interest by looking at them for half a second or more.
The Marauder's Map has icons that represent people as they move around Hogwarts Castle.
Smart badges already let us track employee movement in high-security facilities. GPS systems and your trusty 4G cellphone could bring the same feature to open spaces, pending only privacy concerns.
