Bad Badminton Practice

September 11th, 2004. Published under Daily Journal, Sports. No Comments.

Yosep sent me an sms this morning. He told me if I was going to the badminton practice. I replied him and told him that I’d be there. Then I continued sleeping. Some times later, my housemaid told me that somebody was on the phone looking for me. Who the heck was that disturbing my sleep? Ah, Sigit. He told me that his friends couldn’t join today’s badminton practice. He asked me if I wanna go to another place then. He said he would join his ex-teacher at the Petra highschool at Jemur Handayani. He also informed me that Yosep had agreed. I thought it didn’t matter so I agreed too. He told me to come to his house so we could leave together. It was a good idea since I didn’t know where the place was. He explained his house location. Surprisingly, it was very close to mine. Only several blocks away.

I went to Sigit’s house at about 1.30 PM. It was a building material shop called “UD Lancar”. An old man, maybe his father, asked me if I needed anything. He thought I was a customer te he. I told him that I wanted to see Sigit. He then called Sigit and permitted me to go inside. I decided to leave my motorcycle at Sigit’s house so we could go together by his car. We wait for Yosep near the security post. Yosep didn’t know the place either so he needed Sigit to show the way. About 5 minutes later, Yosep arrived and we rushed into the gym.

It was a three-floors building. The badminton gym was located at the top floor. Wow, it was a multi-function building. The top floor was being used for badminton practice by some adults. But I could see a couple of basket ball rings and indoor soccer goals there. The lines on the floor also showed me that the room was convertible for playing at least four games: badminton, indoor soccer, basket ball, and “sepak takraw”. It didn’t matter anyway. The room was big enough for three badminton fields.

Hey, where did the wind come from. Oh gosh, the ventilation holes near the roof were giving too much space for the wind to come through. Damn it, I knew it wasn’t good. The heck, we had arrived there so we’d better play some games. The first game, Yosep, Sigit, me, and an ex-teacher of Sigit play a tight game. Yosep and I was not used to the windy environment when playing badminton. So we didn’t play well. It ain’t an excuse you know. But how do you hit the cock if it changes each direction often because of the wind. You know that badminton shuttlecocks are very light. I really couldn’t enjoy today’s game.

Mean Girls

I borrowed the Mean Girls and New York Minutes DVDs from Vebby a few days ago. But I didn’t have any time to watch ‘em yet, so I just copied them to my computer. Carla also lent me her Psycho VCD. Woah, I’ll watch it tomorrow. For today, Mean Girls is the way to go. I had watched New York Minutes before, but the worse pirated version. Vebby lent me the better one, yet still a pirated version.

The Plastics Get Mean

Lindsay Lohan played as a teenage student in this movie. She just moved to the USA from Africa with her parents. In Africa, she had her mom giving her private lessons. But in the USA, she had to take the regular school. There she met new friends. Her first friends were a lesbo and a gay. It couldn’t be worse :D. She got along pretty well with ‘em though. Her friends seemed to have a problem with a group of classy girls, called the Plastics. It was a group of three beautiful girls. They were rich, fashionable, and attractive. Unfortunately they were mean to others. They even collected the pictures of everyone they knew and gave a mean comment to each picture. They collected the pictures in a secret book. Later the Plastics’ leader were interested in Lindsay and even invited her to join the group.

The movie is just like the other teen drama movies. The story goes around school, fashion, girls, boys, crushes, loves, friendship, dating, and the like. The point of interest here is Lindsay Lohan, the main actor. She currently is one of my favorite teenage celebrities. In case you want to know, the others are Hilary Duff and Elisha Cuthbert. I love Hilary Duff’s sweet angle voice. She is currently the best teenage pop singer according to me. Elisha Cuthbert, on the other hand, is blessed with an impressively gorgeous body. Lindsay, IMHO, is between them. Her voice is close to Hilary’s and her body is pretty well as sexy as Elisha’s. Go girls. You rock…

New Ragnarok Online Site

September 6th, 2004. Published under Daily Journal, Games. No Comments.

I got to give a private lesson to H again today. This was the second and hopefully the last. She had finished most of the project. I fixed some cookies problem on her project and she thought there were no other troubles. Good then. I came home to prepare for the church. Wait… I remembered. There was no service today since everyone was going to the revival service (KKR) by Mr. Stephen Tong. Gosh, I don’t like it. They all look the same to me so I didn’t go :(.

By the way, I started to create a new site just for fun. A Ragnarok Online site. I am playing the game currently so I think I’ll enjoy creating the site. I just finished the layout, introduction, and the game control sections. Many more to go. I may continue on the next weekend. By the way, you can find the link up there, after the Contact me link. Feel free to give any input.
