- i won the powerball -

i know google earth from -the interesting, inspiring, addictive- frankie magazine. one of the questions in the interview with hot hot heat was,"do you like google earth?" what the hell was google earth here? well, i'm sorry. i'm not a business review journal reader or whatever those sophisticated journal but let's put it simple: this is one of the example how frankie educates me. wink.

it tickled me so then i googled immediately. [how amazing google now is a verb and as well as word "rock", let's rock this, lets rock that, and eventhough i hardly use it but i'm definetly gonna stop put the word "rock" as a verb from now on because it's sound yikes after a while]. apparently with google earth i can have a look at my flat back in melbourne. yeah the technology makes it possible for you to have an aerial view of everything that sticks on earth.

so i was happily jumping on my chair [not sofa] that i can see my flat there, the street i used to stroll down, the station, the parks everything. this is getting annoying the fact that i find it hard for me to detach myself from my life i had there. one to three times a week i dream about it. in those dream i was hoping that it wasn't a dream but it was. so as now 2007 has just started, i really hope i can fully recovered 100% from my life back in melbourne. it's been a while and it's getting annoying.

that's the thing, why do we need tipping point? why do i need 2007 to start or end something? why do i need monday to start doing exercise? why do we need to quit a spot to start another spot? well, it's not the real meaning of tipping point is though. tipping point as written in the book, is the moment when you "found it". but why do i have to wait for tipping point. can we start something before something kick our ass out? so i'm gonna try to stop delaying things and no need to wait to get inspired etc bullshit excuses. it's tough, hei? it is t o u g h.

talking about delaying things, i remember my recent trip to medan 2 weeks ago. my flight to jakarta was scheduled at 10pm but it was delayed for an hour, of course. it's delayed because it needed to wait for the flight from Jakarta to landed in medan and with the same aircraft flying back to jakarta. finally the plane arrived. the passengers were leaving the aircraft. and, guess what? not even 15 minutes, the next passengers allowed to aboard the plane. i was like, wow, that's quick. i made myself comfortable, put the seat belt on, and start shuffling on. and then suddenly announcement,"para penumpang yang terhormat, harap segera mematikan pesawat telepon anda karena pesawat ini sedang diisi bahan bakar." why in the hell world you asked us to aboard? it's about time we're considering safety. why do we wait until the disaster happened!!!

hey, what i'm talking about here. yesterday the sky was soooo blue, the trees were truly greenish and the sun was shiny. i was having coffee seating outside with my lovely friends. and i was feeling soooo great with the weather, the coffee and the conversation, of course. and i read in the newspaper, it said: blue sky in jakarta only happens 8 days in a year. so if i was craving for a simple combination that makes my day: nice weather, outdoor living, friends and coffee i can only get that 8 days in a year in jakarta. and yesterday could have been the 8th days. hopeless.

nope, i'm not gonna end this with the word hopeless. hopeful.
