Enyt's Blog

I started to write this blog in 2002 when I was still living in Osaka. This blog is more about my life abroad, my past and my present.

Name:
Location: New York, New York, United States

November is my fav month. I was born in Indonesia 28 years ago and currently living in New York. In the city of no close friends, i spend most of my leisure time at the gym and bookstores and yet i am neither muscular nor a nerd..: ) I take life as it is, i try to get as much as from life experiences while i am still young. I've been given a lot of opportunities to spend my life abroad, my inside curiosity is like a three years old kid. Give me the world, i'll give you my heart. :P

Just a short message since nothing interesting happened so much since the last time I posted. Well, first of all, I have changed my mind of visiting Xiamen this September ( yes yes, if you know me well, then you'd know that I change fast ) Instead, I would like to buy a new laptop soon !! Yeah !

Other thing is I can't watch the final game this sunday. I still vote for the German team even though I think beating the Brazil team won't be that easy. Hmm, ganbatte ne !!

I Like Him Soooo Much

Did you watch the game last night ? It was a great game !!!! Finally the Germany team will go to the final this sunday ! Yeah !!!! The only goal was made by Ballack at the 75" ( unfortunately he's not be able to take part in the final as he got the yellow card ). The other great thing was Bierhoff was playing too ( Klose was replaced at the 25" at the second half). I was so glad !!!!
Okay, what I am going to say here is now I found a new fav from Germany team. He's the goalkeeper, Oliver Kahn !! He's so cool and great !! Now is well known as the best goalkeeper in the world, he did good works so far. I like him ! I like him ! Hehe..: )

It's Afterall Only a Game

I actually hate to post this because I still feel the disappointment when Italy lost to Korea with 1-2 ( even though I was really glad that it was Vieri that made that goal ) but anyway I still have German that won over USA 1-0 !!! That means German goes to the best 4, yeah !!!! Oh btw, the last 5 minutes, Klose was replaced with Oliver Bierhoff !!!!! I already thought he's not playing in this world cup, but wow ...I almost screamed out loud !!!! I was so happy !!
Meanwhile, England lost to Brazil 1-2 at the same day. Again, it's just another pity !

Okay, so this is about last friday. Well, when we found out that Nagai Stadium doesn't have a big screen outside, we couldn't go there. Instead, we went to Doutonbori in Shinsaibashi ( it has two big bridges which are quite famous in Osaka). Of course, you'd expect no more than Japan's fans crowding and yelling around. Well, it was a good scene and my first time seeing soccer's fans : ) So in the end, Japan won against Tunisia 2-0.

The world cup's atmosphere really influences me that much. I bought one souvenir, which is a little cute teddy bear with Italian flag on its nose, haha. I named it Wieri (you can guess where does that name come from... Vieri !) I guess that I like soccer more than before. Hah !

This year, I couldn't be able to eat Chimaki ( Japanese for chinese bakcang), the day was on last saturday but since Japanese people do not celebrate it, so I couldn't find any shop selling it. I like it very much, you know..: ( (

It was a great game last night, Germany vs Camerun. I couldn't keep my eyes of it and you know what, both teams were great, I think. But the refree was a strict guy, during that 100 minutes, around 16 yellow cards were issued to both teams !!! Plus 2 red cards !!! Unbelievable !! But of course, I was extremely happy when Bode and Klose made two goals !! Yeahhhh !! Fyi, I was very much impressed by Germany's goal keeper Oliver Kahn, he's great !!
Unfortunately, this time, my favourite player Oliver Bierhoff is not playing, but now I think I like Klose. He's a great player ! ^.^
More regreful thing is France lost to Denmark by 2 goals !! France is playing so bad this time, I am sure it's not going to be a champion ! Hmm...

Meanwhile, Ken already asked me to join him and Komsan to Nagai Stadium to feel the atmosphere of the game this friday's night. Yup, yup. This friday, Japan will meet Tunisia in Osaka ( Nagai Stadium). I can't wait !!

I was really dissatisfied with the game on Saturday's night. I think the refree was unfair to the Italian team. Two goals made by Vieri and Inzaghi were denied !!! In the end, Italy lost to Croatia 1-2.
But I was happy that England beat Argentina 1-0 by free kick. Yeah !! I was watching it with Ken and Komsan and both of them were disappointed..hehehe...I won !!

Finally, me and Ken watched " Spiderman" on Saturday's afternoon (we didn't make it last Tuesday). The movie was good, but the ticket's price is expensive ( luckily we brought our student cards and got 300 yen discount, make it to 1.500yen). That was my first time watching a movie in Japan.

Soccer craze, Dimsum set, Next Trip and Confession

Last night I watched a bit of the game between Germany vs Ireland ( I'd watch the whole game if I didn't have a work). To my surprise, I saw many new faces from Germany team !! Ok, so I haven't followed soccer's news for quite some times already ( actually, I guess I rarely follow it since the last world cup game in 1998). There're so many cute faces around, hahaha...anyway, I wasn't too satisfied with the game, because it's draw.

But I did watch the game between Italy vs Equador last week. It was great !!! My "cool" Vieri made two goals, yeah !!! I vote for them !!
I do hope there would be a game between Italy and France ( I remembered very well the game between two of them in the previous World Cup game, and Italy lost. So I would like very very much to watch them playing against each other again, but just in the case Italy win..yup !!)
Tomorrow's night, there will be another game between Argentina vs England. Needless to say, I vote for England !!!

So, I met with Satoko again and we ate Dimsum at Hilton. But don't imagine eating dimsum like you know in Hong Kong or other places ( like in my country). Here, it's too expensive, so they have it in set menu. It really sounds crazy to me, how could you eat dim sum in set?? But anyway, hisashiburi taste did satisfy me yesterday ! Hah !

A Change of mood lately. Whenever I don't feel right, I always think of escaping to somewhere again. This time, I guess I would make a trip to Hongkong and Xiamen in September, just before I go back to Jakarta. But firstly, I must save enough money for that, and that's difficult. I will try my best ! Definitely I will do a trip before going home.

Perhaps I should write why I don't feel right at this moment. You know, every time I get close with someone, somehow I would end up having a special feeling towards that person. I think this is my weak point, and it always gets me into trouble. I would make a confession if I like a person. Strange but true, guys just like to hang out ( I mean certain guys), but never fall in love. They said I am fun with, easy going, and have a good personalities. But still, the idea of dating never occurs to them. It seems so pathetic ! But I also do not want to lose a good friendship that I have built, so it would be a very good idea to keep maintaining a friendship. ( PS: I personally never believe in a close friendship between a guy and a woman without any special feeling come in between ).
I don't know why, but I always get close with a guy who already has a girlfriend, but how to say, it seems okay for those guys too ( surely, the girlfriends usually have no idea about it at all ) Hah !

Satoko has returned but soon she will go on her holiday again. This time, she will go to Penang, Singapore, Hongkong and then return to Osaka and will go to Canada rightaway. Oh, how happy she is !! So, on saturday, we met and went to Mino natural garden in North Osaka. It's so fantastic !! The weather was hot (29 degree celcius) but once we stepped into the garden, the chilly wind was blowing softly, I felt like getting into a different world. It was great!! We had to do a bit of hiking and at the end of the garden, there 's a small waterfall but looks very very nice. Actually, if we climb more further, we would come to a place where the monkeys live. But we were too tired to go forward anymore and just took a rest at the waterfall. I guess that I would go there again this summer when the weather will be on its hottest. Hah !

On 28th, Kaoru emailed and informed me that she's given birth ! She was expected to give birth on 17th this month, so I was really really surprised to get that news. Anyway, she said the baby's healthy and cute and today Kaoru has returned to her home. We will meet each other again ( this time with the baby ) on July. Hmm, can't wait to see a new-born baby ! :- )

Me and Ken are supposed to meet to watch "Spiderman" tomorrow. It's gonna be my first time going to a cinema in Japan ! It's expensive but just wanna have some fun. Anyway, I miss going to watch a movie ! Hah !

Meanwhile, everybody knows that the World Cup has begun on 31st of May. Okay, so I watched the opening ceremony but frankly I wasn't so impressed, a bit of boring, I think. : ) The first match was unbelievable, France was lost to Senegal (0-1), how shameful !! But I don't really care about it since I have no interests in France team. I still vote for Italy or Germany, yeah !!
So, to join the crowd, I finally got three kinds of 500 yen limited edition ( soccer edition). Lucky me ! You kun went to the bank and he exchanged three for me, yeah !!
