Random Fandom

I miss Sherlock. I miss the sound of its opening song which then followed by seconds of excitements, breath-taking scenes. Now I (and all the Sherlockians) am waiting for 3rd series. We never know exactly when it'll aired. Who can predict what Moffat and Gatiss think, by the way? Give times to the geniuses to work.


In meantime, I can't stop surf the fandom. They are Tumblr-base and extremely hilarious. They actually make me become crazier over Sherlock cure me of the longing for Sherlock.


How to run a show like an asshole:
Most Show Creators: We'd just like to let all our fans know that we've been signed on for a second AND a third season! Woo-hoo! You guys are great, thanks for all the love and support!
Team Mofftiss: Yeah guys, we've got season two coming. No idea if a third season is in the cards though.
Team Mofftiss: Still no word on a third season. Martin Freeman is busy hobbiting around New Zealand and Benedict Cumberbatch is like a fuckin' superstar now. Idek, guys.
Team Mofftiss: Why does everybody assume there is going to be a third season? It's really not looking likely. I mean, practically everybody dies at the end of season two anyway.
-Reichenbach airs-
Team Mofftiss: LOL YOU FUCKS, WE'VE BEEN SIGNED ON FOR SEASON THREE SINCE THE BEGINNING.







Benedict's reading John Keats? Are you kidding me? OF COURSE IT IS A TURN ON. How on earth it is possible to be a turn off?? I had an eargasm when I listened to it with earphone. Man with poem/poetry always a turn on. And that answer is COMPLETELY TRUE.
Oh, bless the fandom. I love 'em. :)))))))

This is my daily digest:


What I posted are all courtesy of them. :)

Oh, and I'm starting to listen to Cabin Pressure. Crazy airplane crew is crazy. :))))

Cheers!

History Rules!

Something has just hit my mind this morning.


While I was surfing the internet, looking for scholarship informations, my sister approached me and asked, (partly joked because she was playing with Aisya at that moment),


Sister: "Onti mau kemana sih?"
Me: "Onti mau ke Inggris dong, dadaaah."
Sister: "Kenapa mau ke Inggris? Kalo kita negara persemakmurannya mah gampang (beasiswanya). Kan kaya Belanda dan Jepang lebih banyak beasiswa untuk kita karena kita dulu jajahannya."


Boof!
I stopped look at my laptop monitor and stared my sister, who continued to play with Aisya. Maybe it's a common knowledge for my sister, but it's something new to me. Then I just realized why my sisters got their scholarship from those countries. 


Colonization history! Yes of course! I didn't notice before, I was just like, "well yeah, okay, my sisters went school at Japan and Netherlands. Why don't I go to somewhere else?" without knowing that even to choose a country to study at is strongly related with history. Damn it.


Well, it doesn't mean that Indonesian can't get a scholarship from Britain, does it? My friend is studying master's degree in Manchester right now. She's a proof that Indonesian can study in England, not just citizens from its commonwealth. But yes, I have to say, scholarship from Europe especially Netherlands is much more than England has. Lots of Netherlands's scholarships are cover total tuition fees include living costs and even airplane tickets, while England has more bursaries (discounts) than full scholarships.


Yeah, I just want to share this information.
Gotta go, scholarships won't come by itself to my doorstep, right? I have to find it!


Cheers!

Oasis

For half an hour before the class had ended, Mel ordered us to make a group circle. She said that we had to tell about our dream job. The interesting one was the job could be anything, even the job which didn't exist. 
"You can create the job, imagine there's no limitation to what you want to do," she said. "You can have 2 minutes to imagine it."


I was so enthusiastic about the topic so I didn't bother to close my eyes to imagine it. Maybe I looked so ready that I got the first turn. I said my dream job is to become a writer, an author, or a screenwriter. Adit's dream job is to be a famous (and rich :p) football player. Ryan's is to be a game tester. He said that he wouldn't mind to sit and play games for 8 hours a day. Zulfa's is to be a director (they said that Zulfa and I should be a team to make a movie, haha). Atia got the last turn and he made us shocked with his dream job. He wants to be a scientist/lecturer in computational chemistry. Our last minutes spent to discuss his dream job because we confused about what kind of study is that?? :D


That was one of the interesting parts of my conversation class. When I got home, I remember what Mel says that "imagine there's no limitation to what you want to do". I think this is why I am ecstatic everytime I attend the class and everything about English.
I find the other side of me when I speak in English, the more confident me, well of course that's if I can tell something fluently, hehe. I feel joy and every word I hear is like a recreational to me. I'm flying with lines, chasing syllable in a wide green field, no limits. I can be whatever I want to be, playing with words.


That's not something I can find in "the real life".


When I got home, I could feel life-problems were lurking around me. Then they attached themself to my shoulders, as if to remind me: "hey, solve us! there's no time to imagine chasing some bloody words, or whatever it is!". So, I came back to my real life, life with soooo many demands, sometimes compulsions. We must think about how to get money, to compete, to live better, to live faithful, to please everyone. 
Life, complexity at its best.


This conversation class, for me, is an oasis. An oasis which about to end. I'll have final test at Tuesday and Thursday next week. So, I have to find another oasis. Oh, and of course, writing, for me, always be an oasis. Writing fiction/poem in English? Perfection.


Actually this is one of the bad baffled scholar's diaries. Yes, I'm still what-so-called unemployed, if anyone's interested.


So, what's your oasis, anyway?

Cheers!

Oh My Goood :))

Honestly, I feel a bit uncomfortable to put these Sherlock Uncovered videos (because of the SOPA issue). But I can't bear my excitement to share. Somebody has already uploaded it on Youtube. Well then, you know, once it's uploaded, the whole world can see.



I think my favorite is at 4:10 in Part 2. LOL. What creature are you, Ben? You possess a face of heaven and a deep tiger-in-a-cello voice yet sometimes can show some derpiness. :))))))))


Okay, this is 2 am. I blame you again, Sherlock, for making me sleep this late. :p

Cheers!
