hi my blog..!
it's been a while since my last writing..
this time i just wanna share my unforgettable experience which happened on March 30th 2010. that was the day when i visited Allianz Arena for the first time, only to watch my favorite football club Manchester United Live in Action.

my friends and I have been planning to be there since 2 weeks before the game. first we bought the tickets for the match, and then we bought the other tickets for the train. the downside was that because Champions League always takes place every tuesday or wednesday, we had to skip our school for 2 days. but hell with it, that was once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so why not??
so on d-day we took off from Köthen at 12 o'clock to the train station. man, it took us so long to get to München. 6 hours on train was really "exhausting", if you know what i mean. after the train arrived there, we asked some guide first what kind of transportation that we can use to go to Allianz Arena. luckily it's not too far away. then we used U-Bahn and S-Bahn as transportation. the train was heavily crowded with fans of United and München. they were singing, shouting, teasing and everything. some guy even asked us to sing a United song. that time i knew, that that was the atmosphere of football in Europe, so incredible that it couldn't be described in words.
finally we arrived in Allianz Arena after some stations. the stadium was bright red that it was so visible from far away. we had to take some walk first to get to the stadium itself, because it's placed a bit far from the station. in close range, the stadium was so luxurious. we were stunned by its beauty. we took some photographs first before entering the "main stage". and as we went inside, it felt like we were entering a part of earthly heaven. it was so beautiful, so great, so crowded, and in front of us they were standing, the world-class players, the ones that we came there for. the theme-song of champions league was sung before the game started. we were so happy as rooney scored the early goal, but then were stunned as München made their comeback and the winning goal in the last minute. the Münchener went crazy, and we were shocked, hha. but it's okay, they did lose, but i'm sure they will be victorious at Old Trafford next week. after the game ended, we took again some photos inside the stadium.
it really was a great moment for us all. i really hope next year i can watch United again in Germany. it really felt like a dream came true to me. United prevails forever, yeahh!!!

Miss Them


In this quiet night, I'm waiting for them
During that time, their smile has faded away
Now that a little time has passed,
Fond memories start to resurface.

At the place where stars fall,
I'm always wishing for your laughter.
Even though we're apart now
We can all meet again, right?

From when has my smile faded this much
Since it was shattered by one mistake
Change only the precious things into light and
Go beyond the sky with fortitude.

To the place where stars fall,
I want my thoughts to reach you all.
I am always by your side
Since I will embrace that coldness.
Even though we're apart now,
We will definitely be back together.

In the quiet night...

Studienkolleg starts again..

hi there my blog..
time to write something again, i guess..

finally Winterferien is really over and tomorrow starts a new day of Studienkolleg. it's gonna be my last semester and i hope things go smoothly. i just wanna get it done quickly, because i really feel like starting my college sooner rather than later. i envy my friends back in Indonesia, who have already been busying themselves with college works or anything like that. not that i ignore the fact that i have to finish my 13th-year school with best grades obviously, it's just that i think i need something to keep myself busy, and i don't wanna be a laid-back person my whole life. one thing that's clear is, i have to be much better than last semester starting tomorrow, gotta get good grades in each course, and finally get a seat in one of the best Universities in Germany, wherever that may be.
so i'm gonna try my best for my own future...

Winterferien Really Sucks!

Hi, everyone..this is actually my first time in writing a blog of mine.
I don't really know why i finally want to share my thoughts or experiences within this blog, but here i am as a newbie, hhe..

Ok, let's get started anyway..
So, here it is, the Winterferien.
it's been about 3 weeks since the start of the holiday and one more week and it's gonna end. During this holiday, i've been trying to look for a job that is available, but obviously not in Koethen, 'cause this town is too small to even have a Jobagentur on its own. So last week i went to Aachen, a city located in West Germany. The city was, and sure still is, beautiful. A busy traffic, some nice buildings including an ancient Theater, nice people, and some chocolate industries. At first, it was a hell of a night to me. Why? Because i honestly thought that we (me and my friends) have already rent a Wohnung to spend the nights in. But unfortunately, i didn't really care what the reason was, we didn't. Some of my friends, who were trusted to take care of this problem, suddenly said that they couldn't find another Wohnung for the rest of us, meanwhile they already did have their own. And then two of my friends and I were forced to walk to try and find another place to crash for the night, and hopefully, other nights too. It was so fuckin' cold, 'cause Aachen is surrounded by mountains, and we had to walk aimlessly that night. Wasn't that insane, huh?? Bet you think so. Suddenly we got informed that there was a Master Student living nearby and he was so keen to have us stay in his Wohnung for a while. "That's a relief, guys" I said. His name was (is) Vahmi and he was so nice to us even though that's the first time we met. And there we were staying together. Later we found out that we could actually stay there at least for a week, in one condition. We mustn't get ourselves noticed by the Vermieter, 'cause we're dead otherwise. It was unlikely permitted to have guests staying for a week in his Wohnung. Well, that's Germany. Follow the rule, or get kicked out. But sometimes rules are made to be broken, right?? hha, so we stayed quietly while trying to sneak in and out everytime we wanted to go anywhere. The Wohnung was also nice, but that's not the thing that i was so freakin' happy about. The one thing that made me happy was Vahmi's Internet Modem. It meant that it had unlimited capacity for me to download all things that i want to, such as movies, anime, or games. Hell, i even got 2 external harddisk full of 'em. So everyday, before and after going out to do something, downloading was everything. The next 2 days, we went to a Jobagentur called AIX-Time, in Aachen Zentrum. We applied for a job as a Production Helper, but unfortunately this season the job was unavailable. Then we also tried to to go to Schiffer, a DvD Industry, but it couldn't give us a job, because we had to work at least for 3-4 months there, while the 1st of March is time for us to set eyes for the last Semester in Studienkolleg before going to College. Because of this, we all decided to go back to Koethen on Saturday. But before that, we also visited the Chocolate Industries in Aachen and bought some chocolate. What i hated was there was nothing to take a picture of because of the damn heavy snow. So on Saturday, we left Aachen, empty-handed without anything except chocolate, and back to Koethen.
And in Koethen itself, there's absolutely nothing better to do. Surfing, watching movies, playing games and no more better things have become daily stuff for me and my friends. Therefore, this Winterferien really sucks! Can't wait for Summer!
