You know why I love to talk, write, or remembering the past? coz that's what I loved to do the most when I'm feeling down... I don't need to think about my future just for a while... but I ain't really that down though, I just wanna write all the things that I've done in my past, so that I won't forget what makes me becoming what I am today... oh, and I also liked it coz I looked better at the past, you know? ahahaha :p so here's what I'm into in my whole live... hobbies, sports, dreams, or anything...
The first sports club I ever joined was Baseball, why you asked? coz my father used to be a baseball/softball player, and so there I go joining the club with my parent's encouragement... and both my sisters are in the club also, ahahaa... my favorite times were when I played at the Jakarta Youth Baseball Association (hope it's right...) competition which was being held at Jakarta International School... I get to know a lot of people, which I doubt they liked me at that time... hell they're all foreigners... maybe that's why my english are always good eventhough I never took any english courses here, I didn't talked much but I do understand what they were saying to me... so at that time, everything was pretty much a yes/no question for me, ahahaha... anyway, our team "Twins" ended up almost at the bottom of the league table, and that makes me think is that my fault? coz I'm not goot enough? If I'm a better slugger would I be able to gave the team more win? my father told me that it's a team sport, and it's never an individual's fault... yeah I realized that coz there's actually a lot of good players on the team, like my coach's son... but hey... shit happens... (this is the first time I actually learned that word) hahahaha...
A little after that I joined a Tae Kwon Do club... it's a tough one to follow, coz seriously I'm such a crybaby at that time, and I gotta do pushups with my fist at the asphalted road... damn that's hard... but somehow I'm able to endure it until I got a green belt with blue stripes... how good is that? well with 3 more tests I'll get a red belt, and red's the belt before Black Belt... ahahahaaa... too bad I ditched them because I moved from my home at that time...
At junior high, I'm more into basketball... I joined a club with a couple of my friends... the club's name was "Cougar"... well it's a pretty good team, but I'm always at the bench that time... maybe that's why it was good, ehehehee... but at the end of my Junior high times, I'm getting more feelings into soccer...
Playing soccer was hard at first, but finally I know what I'm good at... being a goalkeeper... yup, that's it... I'm not afraid to fall down and I could get up quickly after I fall... and as I said at my previous post, at my 2nd year we reached the finals baby!!! and only lost to one of the best class in the school that year... ahahahaa, I remember this one time on the court while my opponents are pretty weak and I don't have much to do as a goalkeeper, so I started doing silly stuff like dancing, pushups, laying down, I even do "the worm" ahahahaa, and the crowd was just laughing like out loud... they're yelling like crazy at me... even some of the cute seniors... *oops...* I gotta admit that I loved being the center of attention of a crowd... but with that kind of stupid stuff I did, I don't even know why I could still get a girlfriend at highschool... ahahahaaaa... and I even got 3!!! well, maybe it's just my luck at the time... ^^
Still around my second year at high school, I get more attention on skateboarding... I liked it coz I played Tony Hawk Pro Skater a lot since I got my playstation, and the videos at that game was so tight!!! so at 1st year in highschool I could try the real one for the first time... and eventually build up my interest at it... and so I hang out with people that loved playing skateboard at that time, and I could do nothing... ahahahaa, it's rough at first but after a lot of practicing I finally could do some stuff that made my friends goes WTF?!?!?!?!?! that's so friggin sweet dude!!! ahahaaa... this is my favorite from all of my hobbies in my life... I love the adrenaline rush when I falls down, and the thrills after able to land a trick... man, it's just too sweet for words..... and here's what common people will never understand... "Skateboarding is not as easy as it looked like...) I mean I twisted my ankle for God knows how many time... and it hurts like hell!!! I can't walk around, gotta go to school or campus limping... but well, for the breeze of air when I'm riding my board... I don't mind hurting my ankle again... and I miss all of my skating friends... my ignorant, selfish, don't give a damn about the world skating friends... we used to do some of the most foolish, stupid, and won't make sense for normal people kind of stuff... we make fun of some homeless who just passed us by, we'd spit at each other just for the heck of it(I never did that though, I swear!!!), stay up late to play skate at the park, talked about music and skateboard for the whole day... and I almost went on a competition if it wasn't for my lack of confident at that time, hell I even dreamed of being a professional Skateboarder at that time, ahahahaha... man I missed those days alot............. oh, and what I most proud of is that I'm the chairman of the Skateboard Club at high school... seriously!!! I made the proposal with some of my friends and made that principal sign the proposal and approve it!!!!! ahahahahaaaa, damn I was soooo sneeakyy...!!!!!
I started music since my elementary years when my parents finally bought me a guitar... and finally took a course at Yamaha music school... I regret that I leave the school coz just with around 3 or 4 more exams, I could already apply to teach there... so by the time I reached high school I could've already teaching classic guitar at Yamaha music school... but yeah I leave the school coz my old teacher's moving to other music school, and just couldn't do it that good with the new one. So I only used my limited guitar skills to play at a band with my friends... at least I get to play at my Junior high farewell party, playing "That thing you do"... and I played at my high school prom night playing a song by this Indonesian band /rif (I forgot the title), and some other small stages being held at some other school... we're Rage Against the Machine songs specialist, but I loved this one time when there's this show at our school we should be able to play our normal RATM songs, but the time's kinda limited so we only played this one song "Self Worth" by At the Drive-in (I think...) but the song's really short (just about a little more than 1 minute...), and maybe that kinda pictured our rebellious attitude. So we'd just rocked the stage for almost 2 minutes, and just stopped then went down from the stage just like that... I mean, it's kinda cool in a way... ahhaahhaaa...
More around my high school years I get to know more about computer games... and I'm so hooked on Counter Strike... thanks for my sister for encouraging me to try and play the game... well from that moment, I think I already posted it here before that I get to know a lot of great people and get a part time job from my friend/elder Tommy... ahahhaahaaa...
And here's what I used to think about after I graduated from college, posted on my old friendster blog... :
"huaahhhhh... graduation's done... what to do now??? actually, almost all my life, all i wanna do is to make people around me laugh... so, honestly? i wanna be a comedian... stand-up comedian, kekekekeee... but not here... not in the country where anything a bit offensive could put you in jail... got a plan started in europe, maybe holland so i could stay with my relatives... my cousin there already said there's a good comedy club there, maybe where i could start, if it's any good maybe it'd lead to a better gig... then who knows? appears on TV? my own one hour show in some place? (i'll name the show "Arnoza, I'm Indonesian! invade US!!!" of course the material supports the title... ^^) what else after that?? can i go to california? if i can, then what? gig at Tonight Show, where i'll meet Jay Leno? going on tour with Larry the cable guy? Chris Rock? Cedric the entertainer? Steve Harvey? meets comedians like Jerry Seinfeld? Ellen DeGeneres? Eddie Griffin? Roseanne Barr? or even Eddie Murphy??? then release my own book? get a two hour special on HBO? gets an american comedy award?? then appears on some movies? then leads to some oscar nominated movies? and win it like other comedians such as Robin Williams and Jamie Foxx did???
well, dream on dude... currently i graduated for Computer Science... soo, the joke's all on me... im' an unemployed programmer now... all i do now is eat, sleep, or watching movies... currently i'm watching Eddie Murphy's old show, RAW............................... that d*%^head..... kekekekekeeee..... life's tough... LIVE IT!!! and while you're living on it... got any job for me??? ahahahahaa... ^^V"
Maybe that's about it... if there's anything that I left behind, maybe I'll make a new post about it later on... and this is pretty much all of the things that made me like now, I never regret any of them... it's just a little reminder for me so that I could remember the old days without having to think so hard about it... and to remind me not to do the same mistakes I ever did in my past... soo if there's anyone trying to read this, well don't bother... I know it's a long&boring post so I'm posting it just for myself...
Seeyah in our outrageously funny lives...
