haven’t recovered from the knee injury i got from the ski trip didn’t stop me from getting another crappy illness :(

just a week after i twisted my knee, blisters came out all over my bodies. i didn’t realize that it was chicken pox until the doctor confirmed it and told me to get away from pregnant women and those people who haven’t got chicken pox before because it is a highly contagious illness.

unfortunately, my gf who has been treating me and my knee hasn’t got this chicken pox before in her life. so i have to stay away from her and it was kind of hard since i have been practically staying at her place because my knee wouldn’t allow me to walk back home. luckily she has an empty room where i can barricade myself in there.

i didn’t understand at the time because i had chicken pox before back home when i was a kid and how i could get it again this time. so i did a little research and asked a few friends who might know what caused this silly little virus to infect me again. and i found out that once got infected, the virus is actually stay dormant or asleep in my nerve system and it can be reactivated if my body is not fit and my defense system is not strong enough. however, this rare second reactivation of chicken pox is not as devastated as the first one which is a good thing :)

oh well, get well soon NeDi…


Crippled Me!

03Sep08

yap, i’m definitely crippled now.

mount Hotham is a fabulous place to go skiing. so we went there on friday, 28th of august. planned really well about 2 weeks ahead, we were pretty confidence that everything was going to be alright.

turned out to be about 2 hours late hehe i could be blamed for that since i and rina took the car during the day and we spent some time at pekopeko having lunch. when we got there, the restaurant was really busy and our order didn’t come out as fast as we expected. so just like the domino effect, we were a bit late to pick up indrie and the food, matt and the directions, snow gears, raymond and lastly daniel.

we were supposed to get there by 10 pm but we got there at past midnight. so on the top of cold and windy mountain, we unpacked everything from the car and put them into our small and warm apartment.

in the morning of the next day, we skied according to our plan. everything was run smoothly according to the plan until i felt really sore on my right foot. the right ski boot was really killing me at that time but i decided to just continue with the downhill. then that incident happened. i was going to help rina from her fell, but i couldn’t control the movement of my right foot anymore and it was already too fast. i tried really hard to stop the movement and remembered that i needed to fall down. but suddenly i was spinning and twisting my knee a few times. i could hear a pop sound came from my knee and there was it.

I ended up in the medical centre with a crippled leg :(

get well soon NeDi..


Being Hot

16Aug08

in this cold winter time, nothing is more fun than getting into a warm water swimming pool, a hot tub, a sauna room, eating hot and spicy food, making fruit chocolate fondue and playing some burning-fat wii games with some friends..

and that’s what we did last night with indrie and matt ^_^

it certainly didn’t just warm our body up but also our feelings. somehow it always feels really good to hang out or just do stuff together with some friends like that during winter times. it is understandable that one person says that winter is the time for hibernating, but when that person gets together with friends or family, the surroundings will suddenly changed.. it will feel warmer and nicer ^_^

hoahm.. anyway, i’m still tired from last night.. should i go back to bed? ;p


yup.. i got a new baby.. haha and it’s called AnthoniusHersan.com ;p

it’s not completely done yet, some parts are still need to be added and improved. but most of the functionalities like the gallery, contact form, and the blog (yup a new one) works already.

to be honest, i really enjoy creating website even though i have many other works to do. it’s been a hectic period for me right now because i had 2 major projects at work and school has also started with lots of assignments waiting to be done >_< at the same time, i also have to do some preparations for my PR (permanent residency) application and submissions. I also have to extend my current student visa because it is about to expire.

so many things to do but so little time.. yet i could manage to spare some interesting time doing this new website. fuhh.. ^_^


The Dark Side

30Jul08

2 days ago, there was an event (or i’d rather call it an incident) that completely changed my point of view of what australians are. i usually don’t judge people by their race or whatever, but this time i had to do it because it was really getting my nerve.

okay, so i was in the line at this movie ticket counter. i was going to watch (finally) the newest batman movie: the dark knight. the line was already long when i got there but i still queued from the back of the line. in front of me were 3 asians (2 guys and a girl) and behind me was an asian couple. halfway to the counters, there was this australian caucasian moron cut the line in front of those 3 asians in front of me. they were pretty pissed and told the guys to queue from the back. but instead of doing that, he just moved to the their back, which was in the front of my face. i was really pissed and i told him to queue from where the line started and he pretended that he didn’t understand what i was saying. i yelled at him and scolded a few times but he just ignored me.

i was really pissed and was going to hit him so bad until i realized that it would cause me a lot of troubles. so i didn’t do anything. not that i am afraid or anything to assholes like them, but i just don’t want to involve in any troubles afterwards.

this certainly makes me realize that no matter where we are, jerks and scums like them are still there. jerks are jerks.


Reason

24Jul08

Everything happens for a reason.

Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck.

Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of our soul.

Without these small tests, if they be events, illnesses or relationships, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere…

taken from a person’s confession in her blog.


these couples of days i’ve been watching beauty and the geek reality show. the name of the show is funny enough already. i couldn’t stop giggling when i knew it at the first time. but if you think about it, geeks and beauties are people who can easily make money in this world. well, maybe not “easy” as in not doing anything, but they certainly have more potential than ordinary people.

geeks are people who have the intelligence and the talents but they are usually not good looking or maybe a little weird because they spend most of the times doing what they think are interesting. so usually they don’t “socialize” that much. they stay at home with their family, play video games, stay in front of computers, collecting figurines and comic books, and stuff like that.

beauties, on the other hand, have the looks. they concern more about their appearance rather than anything else. its their assets.

now, if intelligent/talent or the perfect look itself can make a lot of money. then what if they are combined? hehe

but the point of this show is to show people that geeks are not always about smart, weird, non trendy things and beauties are not always about hot, sexy, dumb things. They are still people like anybody else. many of them are good people and have great hearts.
