I was being ambushed by mean mean zombies o__o



I was also the headhunter =D yay. I don't know if that's supposed to be easy to achieve (well I guess it is), but I'm happy nonetheless. It's these kinds of things that make you want to continue playing a game that LAGS EVERY SINGLE FRIKIN ----. Oh you know. Once the setting gets a bit complicated, the graphics lag like _. Even the audio lagged. Like... every bullet echoed. It was rather ridiculous so I stopped playing it.





Also, I've been quite hardworking with the violin ^^ horray. I play it every day, observe, learn, practise. Playing the violin is fuuunnn... hehe.


Oh and yesterday, my mom, dad, and I went to Puri and we saw this piano exhibition from Kohler & Campbell. We fell so in love with KC142 and really wanted to buy a piano. That night, we arranged a meeting with a secondhand piano dealer for this morning. However, after much thought, I fought the temptation of the piano and cancelled the meeting. I thought that since I was going to leave for Australia and nobody's going to play it until I get back for my 3-months holiday in November, it would be a waste.

...Actually, there were more reasons why I declined it but I don't want to blog about it. Anyway, the end line is... why buy a piano for Rp.16jt which you can't play when you can buy a Rp.16jt violin which will sound godly???

I thought the money would be better worth for something else. Like that violin for example. When I improve and feel myself worthy of that violin. Teh future awaits...!





Hm. What else. Well, for one, I've obviously been preparing for my transition to Aussie. Like... clearing out my wardrobe of clothes I cannot wear anymore... buying clothes for colder weather... passport book... wallet with lots of space... things like that. In a nutshell, shopping.


Well yeah! That covers it. It's not much I know. That's why I've been sort of confused what to blog about... it's like there's no certain event or anything. Oh and before I forgot, my dad asked me today what brand my contact lenses are. And I told him a+, and he was like... what brand is that?

o_o It struck me that I didn't know a thing about a+... like, where is it made? Or anything of the sort. My dad told me to change my contacts but I'm a tad reluctant since a+ sky blue is really a nice colour and I've grown attached to it. No problems whatsoever in my... what, 7 months usage?

So I tried googling for a+, but didn't find anything... I mean... if I googled 'Acuvue' the first thing that comes out would be the official website. a+? Nothing, except for an Indonesian forum with girls talking about how great a+ lenses look and yadida. So I'm rather doubting this product... I think maybe it's a local brand or something? My Dad thinks I'm better off wearing well-known contacts, so... if anyone knows anything about a+, please go to the tagboard. If not, I'd be kissing a+ blue eyes goodbye =((

Aiight this is cool. I had my little break and I feel great! After this break, I only have the easier (some) IGCSE papers left (my Finals are done! ^^V).



So what did I do during the break? SHOP!!! I shopped like ... yeah. When your mum is with you, it makes shopping much easier, really... If you know what I mean, which I'm sure you do =D...


Thursday - spent the whole day in TA. Lugged my violin all the way from 11am to 6pm... I was planning to change the strings (since it is already so RUSTY), but when I went to gramedia, there was only a few choices. The guy told us to go MG at Pang Lima Polin (or something... that's what it sounded like).

Bought clothes and stuff. Waited for my brother for such a long time as he did his own shopping. We tried on rockstar leather jackets... I waited for him in front of the fitting room... I just SAT there (kayak gembel) and he threw the clothes over the space above the fitting room door, landed on my face. -_- We were so lame.


Oh yeah. We also fooled around the dart-throwing lottery thing. I made fun of my brother, but it turns out he got all the targets! =D So now we are 1 out of 18thousand-something other people who threw the dart right! Yay!








Friday - Awesome. We went to Pacific Place today to check out this 2-storey music store. I must say, IT IS FRIKIN COOL! Oh. I brought my violin along again... Not surprisingly, they didn't sell any violin stuff at all -_- "Coming soon", the guy said.

But that's okay though, seeing the place was worth it. Being amongst all those music instruments made me feel... Aah =D. I wanted to take pictures of the amazing flutes, trumpets, and grand pianos (they look BEAUTIFUL! all gold and shiny) but the shopkeepers were there so I didn't... sorry readers xD

But worry not! I have some cool stuff for you guys:




The drum showcase! Woww cool! They had all these shiny bling thing. Very nice showcase by the way =D



Oh if only I could play the guitar/bass. There was this Gibson guitar, looking all classy in white... I was like... O_O Miaw I want that...



My brother said the basses sold aren't so good though.

After the music store, we went to this CD store, where my bro and I tested out a few CDs (bro- bass stuff. me- piano stuff... no violin there, sold out). While we did so, my mom was all amazed at the Michael Buble performance on the large TV in the store =D

Then we had lunch at Pure... A "healthy" restaurant. Organic food, and stuff. It's kinda good though:




The flower tea! It smelt so goooood...
Oh I also saw Kidzania for the first time =p...

After all that, we left for MG in Pang Lima Polin (again, I'm not sure about that name). It had one floor for Violin, Cello, Accoustic Guitar, and another for Electric Bass, Electric Guitar... The place wasn't as fancy as the one in Pacific Place, but this store had more variety.





Oooh all the accoustics. There are a couple with vintage designs I liked.




A Silent Violin!!! I want it!!! Saw a guy in youtube use it before. But it was expensive =(


Aha! My goal finally accomplished. Bought a set of violin strings for 345thou. Josie's recommended brand, Pilastro, was around 500thou (chrome material I think) -_- omg. Maybe I will buy that when my violin playing is good. =D Right now it stills sucks so yeah.




What a tiring day! And I only had six hours of sleep too T_T Went home, slept, and when I woke up, my mom had already picked up my contact lenses from Hypermart! Yes, it is blue and green. But don't worry, I'm not going to wear each eye with different colour (people will think I am cosplaying Yuna). Green comes first ^^




Phew! That's it for now, guys! After a long pause in blogging ^_^ Finally a new post.
See yah guys~
