Headache...

Yesterday at church my fellow friend from Malaysia asked me, how does it feel to be a student again? I said that I was a little bit nervous about it since I already left school for almost 10 years now.

But today, I just got the answer: I FELT SICK AND GOT HEADACHE!! I just got emails from my program director refering the course materials for week 1. So many journals and references to read...oh..my God!!!

I Missed My Bus

Actually it is the stupid thing to be happened to any body but..unfortunately it happened to me this morning. I did tried to ride this bus a week ago before my class started. Just to confirm the schedule and time it takes to ride from home to my campus and most of all to learn how to use my bus ticket. Like any body else I would not want to be late at the first day at school especially when you missed the orientation day with your program director and just have a chance to communicate with him by email to enroll your class. Sighs!!

I did rejected my husband offer to drive me to the bus stop this morning so I can have more choices of busses to ride to the city. But - as I am always be a good wife, ha! - I rejected politely and said that I would get 30 minutes to do house chores before heading to my bus stop. No wonder he loves me so much. Ha! So just as predicted, the bus would be there at 09.00 am sharp so..I left home 08.53 am. And..I could see the bus just went pass me 1 minute before I could cross the road. Hiks..

I had to walk 10 minutes to catch another bus at another bus stop so I could get to my campus at the time. Luckily I did. I will not take for granted for this bus anymore. I promise myself to be at my bus stop at least 5 minutes before the schedule from now on.

Dancing Queen

Lagu ini lagu yang paling gue suka di film Mamma Mia. Kenapa? Karena gue bisa liat dan mungkin juga menarik ceritanya ke diri gue sendiri. Ada saat tertentu kita jenuh dan lelah banget dengan hidup kita. Benar? Dan ada saatnya juga kita berharap kita orang lain? Benar? Yah..bersyukurlah kalo masih ada yang bisa menjawab nggak. Well, gue pada dasarnya adalah manusia biasa. Punya keinginan dan cita-cita. Heheh.. Jadi pas lagu ini dimainkan, gue hampir mo nangis.

Ceritanya si Donna bertemu dengan para lelaki yang pernah dekat dengan dirinya pada saat muda. Dan hal ini membuat dia sedih karena mengingatkan dia kembali atas kemalangan dan kepahitan masa mudanya yang seharusnya saat itu diisi dengan tawa dan kegembiraan, bukan? Bukan!!! Haha...

Nah, teman-temannya menghibur dengan lagu ini. Dan seluruh wanita di pulau itu juga menghentikan sejenak rutinitas hidupnya untuk 'having the time of the life'. Nonton, deh..mungkin lebih nangkap apa yang gue maksud. Click aja play di bawah ini, yah..



You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen

Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for the place to go
Where they play the right music, getting in the swing
You come in to look for a king
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the musics high
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
Youre in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...

You are the dancing queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen

Youre a teaser, you turn em on
Leave them burning and then youre gone
Looking out for another, anyone will do
Youre in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...

You are the dancing queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen

The Art for Being a Woman

Hari jumat malam kita nyewa DVDs dari Blockbuster dan ada satu film 1night new release yang diambil berjudul : The Other Boleyin Girl. Yang menarik adalah kalimat yang diucapkan ibu dari 2 gadis Boleyins ini . Katanya, "See how they achieve what they want from their men, not by stamping their little feet, but by allowing the men to believe that they are indeed in charge. That is the art of being a woman."

Wah..udah tentu suami gue langsung komentar, 'Dengr tuh, ma. Kayak gitu tuh..jadi perempuan.'

hehe..iya, deh.

I Have a Dream Lyric

Lagu ini adalah lagu penutup di film Mamma Mia. Akhirnya Sophie tidak jadi menikah dan memutuskan bersama dengan tunangannya untuk meinggalkan pulai dan melihat 'dunia'. Yah..mereka masih muda dan masih punya banyak impian yang ingin dicapai.

Liriknya:

I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
Ill cross the stream - I have a dream

I have a dream, a fantasy
To help me through reality
And my destination makes it worth the while
Pushing through the darkness still another mile
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
Ill cross the stream - I have a dream
Ill cross the stream - I have a dream

I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
Ill cross the stream - I have a dream
Ill cross the stream - I have a dream
