I have my own version of top 8 (Kpop) idols. Well, it actually began when Ines told me and Dista her version of top 5 idols. I was thinking about mine too, and then finally decided that 5 are not enough! Kekekeke~~ That’s why I choose 8 instead. And I am wondering if they belong in one group what would it be and what would its name! Kekekeke~~
So, here they are:
1. My all-time-prince Choi Siwon (SUPER JUNIOR)
Feb 10, 1987 (real birthday: Apr 7, 1986).
Why I like him: I have no words to describe him. He’s just….perfect!
2. The Evil Magnae Cho Kyuhyun (SUPER JUNIOR)
Feb 3, 1988
Why I like him: I melt every time I hear his voice! And his evilness towards his hyungs just makes him even more attractive!
3. The Mood Maker Kim Heechul (SUPER JUNIOR)
July 10, 1983.
Why I like him: I like him for being crazy and outspoken!! And he successfully turned an anti into a fan (read: ME).
4. Lee Jinki a.k.a Onew (SHINee)
Dec 14, 1989
Why I like him: the Super LOL SHINee’s leader!! I wonder why God send someone like him on earth..! His voice is amazing though..
*p.s : saya ga berani masang banyak2 anak SHINee, takut di-bash sama Dista!
5 & 6. Jung Yunho a.k.a U-Know and Shim Changmin a.k.a Max (DONG BANG SHIN KI)
Feb 6, 1986 / Feb 18, 1988
Why I like them: Jangan suruh saya memilih salah satu dari mereka, karena bakalan ga bisaaa!! They’re both HOT and SEXY!
7. Nickhun Horvejkul (2PM)
June 24, 1988
Why I like him: The Uber Cute Thai Prince! Nice body, cool dance, speaks English fluently, why can I not like him? :D
8. Jung Byung Hee a.k.a G.O (MBLAQ)
Nov 6, 1987
Why I like him: beberapa waktu yang lalu saya nonton Strong Heart edisi Rain and he was there! And I fell for him right after.. *mengingatkan saya pada seseorang*
Akhirnya…. Kesabaran ELF Indonesia terbayar juga (mudah-mudahan), SUPER JUNIOR IS CONFIRMED TO PERFORM IN KIMCHI IN JAKARTA!
Katanya sih KIMCHI (saya juga belum tau pasti ini apa, tapi sepertinya festival KPOP gitu) ini diadakan tanggal 4 Juni 2011 di Istora Senaya Jakarta. Gosh! 2 months-to-go! Berarti saatnya memperketat ikat pinggang ini! Kekekekeke~~ Untuk HTM atau reservasi, saya belum dapet infonya. So, MARK YOUR CALENDAR NOW!!
Semoga ga batal kek JYJ kemaren. Ameeeeeeeeennn….~~
Ayo, sapa yang mau barengan nonton sama saya???? J
Ada 2 orang yang berulang tahun hari ini; Muhalim a.k.a Memetos Chocolatos, Syracusian and my buddy for life, dan Kim Jonghyun SHINee, Dista’s favorite dongsaengs (LOL).
Well, Happy Birthday for you both! As for Memet it is his 24th birthday, and for Jonghyun it’s his 21st (according to Wikipedia).
Many happy returns and wish you all the best!~~
GET WELL SOON OUR DEAR CHO KYUHYUN!
Super Junior’s Kyu Hyun was involved in a car accident earlier this morning, suffering a contusion on his arm and leg, SM Entertainment (SME) said today. “Around 5AM on Friday, Kyu Hyun was taken to a local hospital after crashing into a truck changing lanes. He was diagnosed with arm and leg contusions but no structural damages were found in his bones,” SME said through a statement. He is currently in a stable condition but is being closely examined in case of more serious problems.
Kyu Hyun was on his way to the southern city of Gwangju for his musical show, “The Three Musketeers,” but got hit by a truck around Jeong Eub, a small city near Gwnagju. Due to the injury, Kyu Hyun will not appear on Friday’s show. “The Three Musketeers” is Kyu Hyun’s first musical appearance as he was casted for the role of the main protagonist, D’Artagnan.

Untuk you-know-who-you-are
Saya rasa saya sudah mulai gila. Entah kenapa pikiran ini datang, begitu saja: saya rasa saya tidak bisa jatuh cinta lagi. Mungkin kepadamu. Atau mungkin tidak saat ini. We did have our moments, and I was happy. Then I don’t know where your heart was going… and it finally found its way back to mine, when I am not ready to accept it.
“I need more time”, I said. You answered, “Now or never”. “…..” I was blank.
“Then, go. If it is meant to be, it will be”. I finally said that. At least I know you and I both loved.
Sebagai kaum proletar, begitu menurut penganut Marxism (baca: Yudi Suparta, Amstud), saya sampai umur segini belum pernah meng-handle duit ratusan juta rupiah. Proyek saya yang paling gede itu waktu S1. Jadi, waktu itu kita atas nama HMJ (Himpunan Mahasiswa Jurusan) Bahasa Inggris UNIMED, bikin seminar berskala nasional (waktu itu belum berani bikin yg internasional), temanya apa saya lupa, yang ber-budget puluhan juta rupiah. And for me that was sooooo BIG (amount of money)!
Dan sekarang, di Amstud UGM 2010, kita punya rencana study tour ke Korea Selatan.
Mungkin, kalian berpikir bahwa tujuan saya ke KorSel adalah Choi Siwon (atau artis Kpop lainya). Seriously, if you think so, then you are soooooo naïve and, sorry, pathetic. No offense, sorry. It has nothing to do with them. Kalo mo masalah suka-sukaan, saya suka Zac Efron and I'm crazy about him as well, tapi toh saya realistis kalo ke Amerika itu bisa dikatakan hampir tidak mungkin kan? Dan saya juga pecinta berat onta-type, dan saya gak lantas mengusung ide untuk pergi ke Saudi Arabia kan? Emangnya pada mau umroh? Well, that's why, I guess I’d better try to explain why KOREA.
1. My very first and main reason: Senior-senior kita (Amstud) sudah berulang kali melakukan study ke National University of Singapore. Kenapa kita gak coba menjelajah ke tempat baru, untuk dapet feel baru, taste baru, dan pengetahuan yang baru? Kenapa mesti follower kalo bisa jadi following??
2. Seperti Jepang, Korea juga punya organisasi American Studies yang besar, The American Studies Association of Korea. Adanya organisasi ini mengindikasikan bahwa American Studies diminati, diakui keberadaanya, dan mempunyai tempat tersendiri di dunia pendidikan Korea. Coba, di Indonesia, ada emangnya yang begituan? Siapa tau, dengan trip ini, kita nantinya menginspirasi universitas-universitas besar lain di Indonesia untuk membuka prodi atau jurusan American Studies, sehingga nantinya akan ada The American Studies of Indonesia, dan UGM sebagai hostnya. Gilaaaaa…! I’m really looking forward to it!
3. Lalu, kenapa gak ke Jepang aja? Well, JAPAN IS DEFINITELY COST HIGHER THAN KOREA! Kalo ada yang mau menjamin sponsor mah ayok aja! Tapi lagi musim gempa gini..
4. Kalo mau langsung ke US saya sangat sangat setuju. Tapi lagi-lagi, masalah dana lah yang menghambat kita.
4. Perkembangan Korea sangat pesat sekali! Apa ga pengen tau system pendidikan (khususnya American Studies) mereka?
5. Bahkan SEKJEN PBB sekarang Ban Ki Moon yang notabene adalah orang KOREA!
6. Dan kita tau bersama bahwa Amerika dan Korea punya “special” relationship. Bagaimana hubungan itu dulu, sekarang, dan mungkin masa depan (*tsaaaahh…* McDowell banget ga seehhh…!!)? “Sejauh” apa sih keberadaan Amerika di dalam Korea?
7. Tapi, sejujurnya, saya pengen cari tau adalah kenapa di Korea (dan Jepang) American Studies itu kembang, di Indonesia ga? Ato let say, di Asia Tenggara. CMIIW (Correct Me If I’m Wrong), American Studies di ASEAN itu cuma ada di Indonesia dan Singapore. Bahkan, di Philipine, yang dulu bekas jajahan Amerika, ga ada American Studies! Kira-kira ini faktor dari kitanya sebagai orang Asia Tenggara, faktor dari Amerikanya, atau emang tu Jepang ama Korea yang “haus akan ilmu”???
8. Saya akan pikirkan kemudian
Begitulah alasan saya. Saya bukannya tidak mau pergi ke negara lain. Bahkan saya sudah menyiapkan India sebagai cadangan, kalo-kalo Korea karena-satu-dan-lain-hal tidak memungkinkan. Kalo sekiranya anak-anak AmStud yang lain bisa kasi destinasi dan alasan kenapa kita harus kesitu yang logis, saya rasa perlu dipertimbangkan.
Kembali ke topik, so study tour ini jelas memakan biaya besar. Saya tidak bisa menyebutkan nominal pastinya disini, tapi yang jelas more than IDR 100,000,000! Lah iyo, wong manusianya ada 22 yang mau berangkat. Dan jantung saya rasanya berhenti 3 detik setiap kali saya melihat di draft proposal jumlah uang yang kami butuhkan.
Dan saya sepenuhnya sadar, bahwa saya adalah orang pertama yang tidak boleh menyerah (melihat nominal uang yang kami butuhkan), karena sebagai ketua, sayalah yang bertanggung jawab meng-encourage teman-teman saya agar tetap percaya bahwa kaum proletar pun bisa study tour ke-let say- Korea, yg memakan biaya tidak sedikit. When there is a will, there is a way. Dan kalo saya yang patah semangat duluan, mau jadi apa proyek ini? Saya dan team cuma butuh dukungan, moril khususnya, bahwa apa yang kita kerjakan dan cita-citakan ini pasti tercapai. Oleh karena itu, divisi-divisi pencarian dana yang sudah kita bagi kemarin, baiknya sudah mulai memikirkan apa yang akan dilakukan, dan pada tanggal 14 April 2011 nanti sudah bisa dipresentasikan di kelas, sehingga kita bisa mulai mencari dana sesegera mungkin. Lebih cepat lebih baik!
Saya tau teman-teman Amstud dapat diandalkan!
Semangaaaattt..!!! ❤❤
Missing someone who is far far away?? Well, I strongly suggest you to listen to this song. And you’ll realize you miss him/her that much! This song is just….beautiful.
봄날 (One Fine Spring Day) - Super Junior Kim Ryeowook
그 날처럼 따뜻한 바람 불고, 그대가 사랑하던 화분엔 꽃이 피고
geu nalcheoreom ttatteutan baram bulgo, geudaega saranghadeon hwabunen kkochi pigo
어느 샌가 또 봄날이 드리워도, 아직도 난 깊은 겨울 잠을 자고 싶어
eoneu saenga tto bomnari deuriwodo, ajikdo nan gipeun gyeoul jameul jago sipeo
아주 멀리, 아주 멀리 그대가 있나요 사실 난 그대가 매일 그리운데
aju meolli, aju meolli geudaega innayo sasil nan geudaega maeil geuriunde
아주 작은, 아주 작은 사소한 것들에도 매일 그대가 생각이 나
aju jageun, aju jageun sasohan geotdeuredo maeil geudaega saenggagi na
방안 가득 남아 위로해 주던 그대 향기가 꽃 속에 다 흩어져
bangan gadeuk nama wirohae judeon geudae hyanggiga kkot soge da heuteojyeo
언 젠가는 느낄 수 없을까 봐 그대 있던 공기라도 붙잡아 두고 싶어
eonjenganeun neukkil su eobseulkka bwa geudae itdeon gonggirado butjaba dugo sipeo
아주 멀리, 아주 멀리 먼 곳에 있나요 사실 난 그대가 매일 그리운데
aju meolli, aju meolli meon gose innayo sasil nan geudaega maeil geuriunde
아주 작은, 아주 작은 사소한 것들에도 매일 그대가 생각이 나
aju jageun, aju jageun sasohan geotdeuredo maeil geudaega saenggagi na
하루가 몇 달이 되고,
haruga myeot dari doego,
언젠가는 내 맘에도 오늘 같은 새 봄이 올 텐데…
eonjenganeun nae mamedo oneul gateun sae bomi ol tende…
*아주 멀리, 아주 멀리 먼 곳에 있네요 그대의 매일은 봄날이라 믿어
*aju meolli, aju meolli meon gose inneyo geudaeui maeireun bomnarira mideo
아 주 먼 날, 아주 먼 훗날 그대 나를 만나면 늘 함께였다고 얘기해 줘
a ju meon nal, aju meon hutnal geudae nareul mannamyeon neul hamkkeyeotdago yaegihae jw
English translation:
A warm wind is blowing like it was that night
The flowers you lovingly planted have bloomed
Before I know it spring has come again
I still want to deeply sleep like it’s winter
You are so very far, so very far
To be honest I miss you every day
Even the very small, very small trivial things
make me think of you every day
Your comforting scent fills the room
in the flowers scattered around
Because I’m afraid one day I won’t be able to feel it
I want to take hold of even the air that you were in
You are so very far, so very far
To be honest I miss you every day
Even the very small, very small trivial things
make me think of you every day
A day becomes months
It seems that even in my heart too a new spring has come..
You are in such a far away, far away, far off place
I believe to you every day is spring
On a far off day, a very far off future, if you see me again
Tell me we were always together
*photo credit not to me Betapa beruntungnya menjadi seorang Choi Siwon. Uber handsome, rich, talented, religious, prince-like, famous, and more important: loved by me. Sudah gitu, karena satu-dan-lain-hal, doi (terpaksa) punya ultah dua [Apr 7 ’86 and Feb 10 ‘87]. Yang berarti, ultahnya dirayakan dua kali, didoakan dua kali, dikasi kado sama fans juga dua kali!
And since today is one of his birthdays, so I’d like to shout:
Stay healthy and keep being loveable ❤
Setelah sekian lama blog ini terbengkalai, akhirnya saya tergerak juga untuk kembali mengutak-atiknya. Tidak ada yang lebih menarik dari menumpahkan uneg-uneg di dunia maya, sekalian menjadi ajang pembuktian eksistensi diri. Kekekekekeke~~
As for me, I’ve graduated already. Yeah! Terhitung tanggal 22 April 2011 nanti, setahun sudah saya resmi dikeluarkan secara terhormat a.k.a di wisuda dan menyandang gelar S.S (Sarjana Sastra) dari Universitas Negeri Medan tercinta. Now, currently I’m pursuing Master Degree, specifically Master of Arts, in Universitas Gadjah Mada, majoring American Studies. What is American Studies, anyway? Well, mungkin akan saya post di postingan lain (kalo mood).
Dan oleh karena itu, sekarang saya sudah lebih 1,5 semester berdomisili di Jogja. Kota ini menjadi saksi transformasi diri saya (bukan menjadi Sailormoon,red). Ke-cuek-an saya benar-benar teruji di kota ini. Bisa jadi, disebabkan saya yang salah gaul dengan mahluk-mahluk di kelas saya; AmStud UGM 2010, khususnya pacar-pacar bebeb-bebeb saya, Ines dan Dista. Kami bertiga bak trio macan di kandang singa.
And for now, harapan saya cuma 1 : SEMOGA SAYA GAK MALES NG-UPDATE BLOG LAGI. Say AMEN, people!!!
