Sunday 21/11 was  the day I've been waiting for 2 months. That particular day was the day Indo Harry Potter held "nonton bareng" for Harry Potter 7 in Blitz Megaplex Grand Indonesia!!! Yes I've been waiting this movie like... AGES!!! I was anxious to see how David Yates depicted the first part of Deathly Hallows. It was worth to watch!!! But I'm not gonna tell you about the movie itself. It's another story. But the event itself.

I've been member of Indo Harry Potter mailing list for almost 3 years. I tried to participate in every events they held, including this viewing. I was excited to meet my fellow members there. I woke up at 6 in my rental room, do some chores like washing clothes, took a breakfast and at 9.30 AM I went to GI. Since it's Sunday and the traffic not that bad, it took me 15 minutes to arrive there,,, at East Mall!!! I misread the sign and my taxi drop me in East Mall lobby instead. But no matter. I have my iPOD and took a walk to West Mall.

At 10 AM, I arrived at Blitz and found my friend Nanie because she got my tickets. Actually my brother Yudha should join me. But he injured himself last week so he couldn't join me. I asked one of my friends instead to accompany me that day. Everywhere I saw, people with goodie bags, Harry Potter's theme shirt, and also people from media. It's crowded!!! While the committee held a game, I was wondering around Blitz with friend. I took a pictures with Harry Potter's posters. Quite hilarious pose I made hehehe.

At 11 AM, we got into the studio. My row is B1 and B2. Quite on the top of the Auditorium 1, but that's okay. About 15 minutes later, the committee held another quiz. Every time audience want to answer, they have to shout "Expelliarmus!" as password. First couple of questions, I didn't participate. But when it comes to Snape question, I must answered it! So before the question finished, I already shout the password. The question was what speel Snape created when he was still in Hogwarts. As Snape fan, I shouted with all my heart and got chosen hehehe. The answer is "Sectumsempra" and I got movie poster hehehe. Then, I don't care what other question because it's not about Snape anymore hehehe.

At 12 PM, the movie started. Audience clapped their hands and enjoy the movie. For me, this movie really made my day. Severus Snape, at the beginning of the movie, close-up scene!!! Gosh, I thought I'm gonna faint when he appeared HAHAHA. Well I love Snape and Alan Rickman so let me a little bit hysterical okay. The whole movie was so exciting. This movie totally epic!!! Made me can't wait for the last part.

The movie finished around 2PM (I don't know exactly) and I hung around with my friends in committee. We laugh and talked about the movie itself, not to mention took some pictures with them hehehe. After all properties wrapped and put in the car, we went to restaurant. Funny, during the movie we didn't feel any hunger. Maybe because our adrenaline made us didn't feel it hehehe. I realized I ate so much after the event. I must be hungry all the time hehehe. During the late lunch, the committee held an evaluation meeting. Well, I'm an outsider but I listened to the meeting also. By the end of meeting, they asked me to be a committee. Of course I said YES!!! I told them now I lived in room in Pancoran, so yes I definitely want to be a committee in the next event. Hey, it's the final part of Harry Potter!!! Of course I want to be part of it too!!!

So, can't wait for 2011, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2!!!

Saturday 20/11 I woke up early. Did some laundry and clean my room. At 7 AM, I walked to soccer field in Mulia Business Park. Today is a soccer game between SSB students versus staffs. This event was organized since a week ago. After mid-term, students need some relaxation and soccer is the answer. When I arrived at the field, some students already did some stretching and played little game. While waiting the others to come, I talked to the students about their activities and their feelings after mid-term.

Fifteen minutes later, SSB staffs arrived. From lecturers line, there's Pak Arnold, Pak Eka, Pak Bambang, and Tim. From staffs, there's Awil, Fariz, Mas Guruh, Pak Dino from SF, and OB guy from Mulia (sorry I still didn't know his name huhuhu). From students, errrrr lots of them hehehe. The game will set in 2x20 minutes. Kick-off started from Students.

About 2 minutes later, Pak Bambang has a cramp on his feet (poor him) so he can't continue the game although his a goalkeeper. Get well soon, Pak Bambang!!! The game itself very competitive. The students played with all their hearts, while the staffs tried their best to catch up with the students. Well, the age gap really influenced the staffs performance hehehe. The final score, 4-1 for the students.

It's a fun way to spend your Saturday with colleagues and students. Waiting for the next event!!!

It's been awhile since my last post. Yeah, I know I'm getting lame. But I can't help it. Every time I want to write something, suddenly I felt lazy hehehe. If you asked my feeling, well the title described it. Hey I also have right to whine right hehehe.

Why I felt insulted? Although it wasn't directly to me, but the way it delivered and the content of it really insulted me as Indonesian. Yes, sadly, it was done by an expatriate. I'm not gonna break the details about who, when, where and how. It's gonna be private, but maybe I gave a few hint. I just wanna share my concern on this.

My entire life, my encounter with expatriates, this is the first time I met such a rude expatriate. I mean, all expatriate I've met, whether they came to visit or already live in Indonesia for a long time, they all very nice. But this expatriate is an exception. TOTALLY AN EXCEPTION!!! First, the way he wrote an email. It's rude how he's accusing and bossing around people. Especially the accusing part, although it was his fault. Second, the attitude of asking. He insisted to have one item, although I already said to him it's limited and he must go through me to borrow the item. Totally mindless!!! There's still countless events that I couldn't mention one by one.

I know it's not clear about the problems. But I'm very disappointed with this situation. It affected my mood. Above all, I never met such a rude expatriate. I love all my friends, both Indonesian and expatriate. We build mutual relationships. But for this person, I already learn to ignore his presence near me. I don't care anymore. Because he didn't respect the others, why should I respect him... I sounded like a grudging person, well that's me. Especially when it comes to my pride, as an Indonesian and as a human...
