man..

didn't win the bid for electrical energy: power of the new millenium, so i guess i'll be doing 4 modules this sem. wonder if that's wise.. but anyway i foresee i'll be having quite a busy life so i hope that's ok..

went to the SAM. and the entrance sticker goes:
"no experience is necessary". i was puzzled for some time.. still can't figure out what they mean. it could mean at least three things:
1. no experience required for entering the SAM
2. 'no experience' is necessary
3. all experience is unnecessary (and therefore the SAM experience is a choice)

i'm going to learn japanese! yay. one day, one day i'll be able to read the japanese version of conan. i hope that day arrives before the end of the series. lol.

internal debate over whether or not to change 'genes & society' into something more.. manageable. i can't do bio. it's out of my league.

nothing to post.

shuuichi akai. i'm a fan. damn he died. or didn't die. hope he didn't. fyi, akai's a character in Detective Conan. lol. okay i know this is lame, but he's really cool. if there's a thing i don't like about Detective Conan, it's that it's not feministic. lol.

i foresee a bad semester ahead. haiz. of all things. hope i get all the modules i want. at least that.

missing the dogs. shit.

Happy new year. 3 days of 2009 have gone. bloody hell.

anyhow. today we went to Tuban. there's a temple by the northern coast, facing the Java Sea. it's about 2.5 - 3 hours' drive away from Surabaya. The first picture is the "tambak" along the road to Tuban [where they rear fish, prawns etc. like a fish farm] weather was good so all the photos turned out well.

and views of the coast:

bloody stupid billboard.

Right. as requested by nguci:

Chimo and a sleeping Molen.

finally. on the last day of 2008 managed to sort of complete a decent
attempt of a photo of Munich. will still need to touch up abit. but i'm happy!! for some reasons,
the lines are all slanted. maybe i need to correct my writing posture.

it's down to:

• A Vindication of the Rights of Woman
• The Story of Art, and
• re-reading Man and Boy

i'm so proud of myself. lol. i did some sketching and watercolour today. and i finished the Marco Polo book. anyway yep the dogs:

Chi-ko (top) and Putih (below). i'll post the rest next time.

list of books to read this vacation:

• Travels in the Land of Kubilai Khan - Marco Polo
  
• A Spot of Bother - Mark Haddon
• The Story of Art - EH Gombrich
• A Vindication of the Rights of Woman - Mary Wollstonecraft
• Detective Conan 44, 46, 47, 48, 49 and, if i get them in time, 42, 45 and 50. lol.

there's a really easy way of doing this. if take my mind off things, one day everything will turn out for the best. sometimes. lol. well, fortunately i'm home. anyhow, our dogs are so bloody cute.. will take some pictures of them when i remember.
