This is the scene when Mark Webber crashed Heikki Kovalainen's car last race in Europe, 27 June 2010. I am pretty sure that he was so hurt because of the leaps and collision. Now, who doesn't get hurt if they were bumped like that (for normal human). I wonder how some people who experience some accidents like that love to be a racer yet still alive until now... Well, I guess life without challenges is not interesting anymore and you need challenge in life to boost your spirit and keep motivated. But I am sorry to say this, that crash was just WOW! and these kind of incidents that make Formula 1 racing is attracting... am I right? *Ifeelsomeannow

I went to France Cafe just now.... in the middle of exam period, but hello.. it's Saturday night! Who wants to be at home, studying? hoho... Anyway, I cover my material for next exam quite well so I hope it will be OK. Well, we went to Le Petit cafe after our dinner in Carnegie to have some desserts. We choose this cafe because one of my friends said the crepe there is delicious so we just give a try.
*picture taken from here
We ordered 4 types of crepe:
- Profiterolles: vanilla ice cream, melted chocolate, sliced almonds & whipped cream
- Exotique: banana, coconut ice cream (I change the flavor to rum&raisin), melted chocolate, coconut flakes
- Banana Chocolate and Rum
- Williams: sliced pear, melted chocolate flamed with pear eau de vie
Banana chocolate and rum and williams are flaming crepes. So it basically serve with rum but then the rum will be burned right at top of the crepes. Here is the pics of banana chocolate and rum:
Williams is similar with the one above but has pear inside instead of banana. Unfortunately, I didn't take any other pictures. I can say that I forgot to take my crepe (Exotique) and Profiterolles' pictures because I was amazed by those flaming crepes. hahahaha...
Overall, the place is nice especially at night. It has a romantic environment plus accompanied by French songs :) There are many kinds of crepes that you can have, both salty or sweet crepes. You can enjoy the place more especially when they are making the crepes because the smell is so strong and delicious. The taste? hmmm.... Mine is quite good, but my friends who had banana chocolate & rum said that the rum was little bit too much so the crepe itself tastes too bitter. Maybe if you don't like drinking alcohol so you better not ordering the flaming crepes. To sum up, the place is worth a try but maybe not really often to be visited. Ah, almost forgot... the toilet is cool. It uses French newspaper as the wallpaper. Moreover, people usually come later at night and many French there. It is nice to hear people speak French as their language is impressive.
It's almost the end of the month, means I have to move out from my current house soon... next week to be exact. The worst part is I haven't got any apartment. Me and my soon to be housemate did so many inspections for apartment in city but then only few of them can impress us. There are many good apartments in city for sure... with good prices as well --"
I found an apartment with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and fully furnished in city few days ago. And the fact it is so cheap and in a really really good condition. We did email the landlord already and she/he replied us for once. We were hoping and wishing that we can get this apartment but seems it's just mere expectations. So we decided to apply for other apartment. So far this is the strongest candidate :)
Even the apartment looks a little bit too old but I think it's fine for us (of course it is ok rather than being homeless). Anyway, the apartment is called Promenade and it is located on St Kilda Road and the price is quite tolerable for 3 bedrooms apartment. Some reasons I don't like from it are there is no air con in it and the wardrobes are quite small compare to other apartments that we inspected already. huhuhuhu.... I don't know why, but if I am looking for house/apartment, the main things that I will examine first are the room, the wardrobe and the kitchen. Whereas, my friend will see the bathroom first.
Fiuhh... I can say that looking for apartment is really tiring. Now, I don't want to bother about those main problems. The most important thing that we get a place to live starting from next week. Besides, we will live there for 1 year first and who know we will move again next year. Hope that we will get this apartment.
Guess where I am now!
Library... *notsolikeme
Honestly, I never stay in library except when exam is coming.
So here I am now... trying to study but in fact I am blogging. hahahahaha....
I blame my exam's timetable which got gap too far between each subject. Even, some people will be so happy if they get a good gap between each subject. But mine? It's not good, it's too far! Usually, I will finish my exam within 1 week or 1 and a half week max. That's why I wonder how I can get this timetable for this time.
My previous exams were 10 and 18 and the next one will be on 29 and then 30. Do you see the gap? Because of that, I don't have any mood to study anymore which is not good for me. I couldn't do my first exam so I don't want to experience the same thing. I know I have to study hard for this time. Ummm... not too hard actually. hahahaha.... Well, I am going to study again after posting some posts. hehehe... Just consider this as refresher ;p
Pardon me for this post. I feel this post doesn't have any useful point. hehehe...
Here are some cool and really entertaining videos from Indonesia Mencari Bakat or Indonesian's Got Talent (English version). Enjoy! :)
Well, this is the impact of June's Stocktake Sale in Melbourne :(
I went to city few weeks ago and see this wallet in David Jones. I didn't have any intention to shop at all, I didn't even have mood to shop that time. I purely just accompanied my friends shopping. Then, that time when we went to David Jones and that day was Saturday but all stores closed at 7pm which is bad because it made me saw the wallet and want it. The brand is Oroton. Oroton is an Australian brand and for me it looks like Gucci a little bit. The pattern that makes it like Gucci. The model for the wallet is classic, but the price is half price of the original price. The original price is AUD195 and now it is only AUD100. Arghhhh..... Dilemma mode: ON! *sincetwoweeksago
Should I buy? When will I get 50% disc again? But I promise myself I don't want to buy it to save the money to pay my IELTS test. hix... And despite, it really looks like Gucci, isn't it? Or should I just buy Gucci? hahahaha... but I love the model of this wallet and Gucci doesn't have this model. LOL! I wonder if Gucci has it, who plagiarize who? Damn damn damn. Why women love shopping? I give u the pics of the wallet.
Anyone kind enough to buy it for me? hohoho... *mupeng ;p
Thought I'd be the only one that'd make you smile
Thought I'd be the only one that's really know how
But you showed me different and I know better now
I gotta get you out my system somehow
I replay it over and over again
You were my boy, now we ain't even friends
You could've been my all or nothing, all or nothing
Now to me you're nothing
Boy, you're nothing, you're nothing
Thought I'd be the only one that's really know how
But you showed me different and I know better now
I gotta get you out my system somehow
I replay it over and over again
You were my boy, now we ain't even friends
You could've been my all or nothing, all or nothing
Now to me you're nothing
Boy, you're nothing, you're nothing
I am not a big fans of apple. I even only use iPod because of the function and I got it from my best friends as my birthday present. Hahahha... Not even bought it by myself because of the price is not cheap as well. But today, there many of Apple products. Let say, the newest one in the market is iPad which many people are so hysteric about it. In Melbourne, many people queued for a long time in the first day it's launched and it costs from AUD599.
The next product coming up is iPhone 4. Apple had launched many version of iPhone before like iPhone, iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS. iPhone 4 is already available in US and will come to Australia soon next month. It will cost around AUD879, same like the new 3GS last time. Also, because Apple has a new version of iPhone, the old iPhone 3GS' cost will be reduced. I wonder whether many people get annoyed because of this or not because it's not even 2 years since the last one was launched. The funniest part is people in my home country (Indonesia) are still excited with iPhone 3GS while there is the newest one already. hahahaha... Even some of my friends in Indo who are used to study in Melbourne said "Stop talking about 3GS, they have iPhone 4 now!"
Compare to the previous one, the new iPhone 4 is slimmer and smaller. But from functionality aspect, I don't see so many different from it. The main difference is it has front camera which is more comfort for video conference. And of course the camera is better than before.
Next product from Apple is iMac. But I prefer Mac Book rather than iMac because it's laptop, so you can carry it everywhere. Moreover, my friend just bought Mac Book Pro 15'' and it made me want Mac more. Urghh.. The reason I don't buy Mac since long time ago is because I took IT for my univ course and it is hard to get software or application for my assignments purpose if I use Mac. But then, lately I found that many IT students in my univ are using Mac. Hmmm.... I am thinking now. hahaha....
In my opinion, iPad is not really useful. Some of my friends said it was cool and you can use it for reading lecture slides. What?! I don't read lecture slides that much and I need to highlight my lecture slides to be able to remember all of those words. Of course I won't highlight my iPad if I have one. So, I think iPad will not work for me. I like iPhone especially all of the applications provided and all the games but I already have Blackberry, what's the point I buy iPhone? I realize that iPhone is more elegant plus the touch screen part, it looks cooler than BB. *sigh So, the last option is MacBook. It is the most reasonable one that I can get. hahaha... The fact that my laptop is 2 and half years old too and it is a little bit broken now. hahahaha....
See? Even I am not a big fans of Apple but looking at their products from time to time makes me want to get at least one of them. But, I always love Apple's MacBook. Ah, almost forgot.. one more thing that I used from Apple. The mouse! ;p The new magic mouse from Apple is really cool and it is not compatible with Windows and it costs AUD99.
Arghhh.... Ok, enough! Let me think about it first. Don't think I will get any of those soon as it is not urgent too.
Today's topic is brunch. hohoho...
I went to have brunch with my best friends this morning in 35 Market St, South Melbourne. The place name is Dead Man Espresso. We got the information from a booklet about popular cafe and coffee in Melbourne. Nice, huh? ;p We arrived there about 11.30 but we got in like 11.40, do you know why? Because finding a space for parking in CBD especially in weekend was really hard. Everywhere was full, and it's not even in CBD. It's South Melbourne. Anyway, we finally found one and went to the cafe.
The place is quite impressive. It has two parts, inside and outside. Of course we chose inside as today was so cold. Actually, everyday is so cold now. I think this winter is colder than last year. I don't even remember how cold the last year's winter because I felt it's not cold at all that time. hahaha... Now, I sound so chesty. Back! The outside design is minimalist yet simple. The inside one is more traditional and made of wood. But, somehow it gives a different feeling. Besides, the decoration is quite cool. One of the example is the lamp is unique.
Pardon me for a bad picture, I know I don't have any skill in photography.
So, the design gives me a good impression at first. Second thing that I love is the service. They serve us so well. You know because some restaurants or cafes have a bad service. Either the waiters/waitresses are not polite or fierce; or sometimes they just treat us badly if we don't order much or stay there to chat even we finish our food. But here, I can say there is no such thing like that. They get the point, the politeness, the serving way and the quality. I said that as well because we experienced it. So, we all finished our food and we just sat there for a moment, chatted. We all drank water after we finished our coffee since in the beginning and we kept asking them more water. The best part is even after we finished and just chatted and talked so loud, we kept asking for water and they didn't have problem with it. They gave the water straight away with good manner and smile. Then, I realized that some people were waiting for tables so I asked my friend to leave. And that moment was when one of my friends said "Wow, they know many people are waiting, but they don't ask us to leave and they still serve us well." ^_^
Third is the food. For me who like western food, I surely love it.
There is not so many menus available and we we had, there are only three types because some of us had the same menu:
- "BLT" pork belly & spinach puree on brioche w gazpacho.
- Panzanella - bread salad w heirloom tomatoes, poached eggs & smoked sausages (mine).
- Omelet of the day (today was leek and kind of cheese, can't remember the name) with pork belly & gluten free bread.
I tasted all of them and they were great except the green part in my food which I don't know what that is. I guess it is chlorophyll, not sure as well. The poached eggs were yummy, the omelet was incredibly delicious (maybe because it had cheese inside), the sausages were tasty and the breads were fine. Overall, I love the place and I love the food. Argh, almost forgot! The coffee was OK as well. Here here here the pictures....!
"BLT"
"Panzanella"
"Omelet with pork belly and breads"
"cafe latte"
We plan to try many places as we can from the booklet. hehehehe... Wait for my next session, guys! :)

I accidentally open Google and curious about the background changes. I know Google always change the design of the 'Google' word but this time is not only the word but also the background. I explored it and turned out out that Google enable us to change the background with our own picture or with their picture. And I found that it was so cool! hahahaha.... Here are some of the pictures that I like :
You can upload your pictures as well but it has to be 800 x 600 pixels. I actually want to upload many pictures but it is not compatible so here are some that can be uploaded :
The coolest thing is after you set up your own background for your home page, even you close Google and then open it again, it will still remain the same. Woohooo... I don't know why I am so excited about this. I guess I am stressed already because of exam so this is kind of refreshing for me. hahaha... Anw, I chose the pig background for my home page because it is so colorful and cute. However, I am not sure whether it will last until tomorrow or forever or not. Let see! It is so cool, isn't it? I love Google. hehehe... :)
I finished my first exam this morning and honestly I didn't know how it is. I want to say that I cannot do it but I still hope that my guessing answers were correct and will give me more mark so I can say I can pass it. See??!! I even only hope for PASS! It was really really damn hard. It made harder for me because I don't like networking and security stuff... at all, plus I didn't get enough study. OK! This one is my fault and I regret it and everyone know that regret always comes too late. T-T
Huaaaa... I really want to cry since the time I came out from the exam's venue. Even many friends of mine said that I looked really messy when I met them right after I finished my exam. Huks... This was the first time since I've been in univ (not college) that I really can't do my exam and even so afraid of it.
What can I do now? Just pray and hope that I will at least get marks for passing it. God, please please please.... This is my last semester and I don't want to fail because of this subject. I promise I will study for the next 3 subjects harder and more serious so I will get the good mark for those subjects. Arghhhhh!!! Luckily, I went to apartments' inspection after exam so I forgot about it for a while. It seems I will be so scared when the results come out next month. Please, I will be very grateful even it will be just Pass... *crossmyfingers

Have a look! :)I went to church yesterday, and the song for the communion is Amazing Grace.
Suddenly, I remember this song again and I want to play it again at home. I always love this song.
I found this version in youtube... and it's good.
So, enjoy...!
Amazing Grace
"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me....
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.
T'was Grace that taught...
my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear...
the hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares...
we have already come.
T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far...
and Grace will lead us home.
The Lord has promised good to me...
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be...
as long as life endures.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
and mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
a life of joy and peace.

Hai hai hai...
I am done with my IELTS test and now I have to prepare for my exam which is on Thursday, 10th of June.
I don't realize it until the day before yesterday... I lay in my bed and thought of some things... There were about IELTS and then exam, and I just realized that my exam is in 4 days, even less! Am I panic? Yes! No! If I am panic, I won't be able to study. But yes I am panic! My first exam is a hard subject. That makes me more nervous. I guess I will be an occupant of the library starting tomorrow. Wish me luck...
Study hard, eat, drink, enough sleep and pray.... then everything will be fine. It should be fine! Amin! And there will be less post for the next few weeks, which in fact I hate it. I love blogging!
Ciao!
I love this guy!
I really like him! I think if there is no Derek Shepherd in Grey's Anatomy, I will not watch it until now. hahahahaha....
This is the second time I post about Shepherd.
Last night, my friend asked me what makes a quality guy. Hmmm....
He is my quality guy! If there is someone like him in my real life, I would definitely fall for him. *Lebay Mode: ON!
Smart, good-looking, good future, humorous, romantic, mature, bold, manly.
Chief of surgeon, brain surgeon, good reputation, prestigious.
That's why he is only exist in movie. No one will perfect as he is in real life.
Anyway, I still love him. hahahaha...
Seems I was too obsessed by him. LOL!
I finished all of my assignments. Yeeeeaaaaayyyyy!! Finally!
I have done my last presentation for this semester just now. It should be done last week but one of my team member got problem so we arranged the time again. And because of that, my presentation was a private presentation. There was only me and my group mate and the teacher. OMG! Feel so nervous. hahahaha... Luckily, we went through it well... even we got many advices. But, advices are good for ourselves, right? I think I'm just trying to comfort myself. Anyway.... it finished! hohoho...
And here I am in Building K of my campus, don't know what to do.
I am feeling so free now. I even watched three movies in a row in the last few days. My friend said to me, "What happen, huh? U watched movie everyday! Don't u have exam?"
To be honest, I even have IELTS exam this Saturday so I answered my friend "Watching movies is a good real practice for listening, right?." ;p
But, I guess I have to start studying now. But, is it really useful for my listening if I watch movie? Because I'm going to watch series again now. Here! hahaha... I really don't feel like I am having exam soon, next week. Danger! But, I will study for sure. Study hard for my last exam in bachelor and study for IELTS as well. Wish me luck, guys! And pray pray pray....
