and the winner is........

ah who else lah? WHO DO U THINK THE WINNER IS? Our defending champion for 2 straight years, the one and only heavyweight champion!!!! Let's give our best applause to:


well no contest in that yo! Since we haven't synchronized our time with 103, then finally at 12:03 am (according to Toro's cell) and 12:01 (according to my bedside clock), "summergate" from SMAP berkumandang...and voila --> toro: halo hahahaha nere: wakakaak kokok wakakaka toro: wakakaka wakak ngik ngik cit citi nere: cit cit omedetou tanjyoubi toro citciticit saya dapat gerobak doger kah atau TJ? toro: jelas dapat TJ..tampaknya nenek dapat gerobak doger. Nenek's sms followed only 1 minute after the call from nere (due to nenek is not somewhere in Jakarta rite now).

All in all, toro just want to say thank you for everyone (nene, nenek,dabs, sley, shinta, laura, oh even SBO!, syl, reemz, etc etc etc etc )around the globe that already sent their birthday sms. Thank you everyone, totally appreciate them!

I just want to say thanks God and my parents that have given me so much for the last 25 years. yup just like nere said last nite: "TORO, Life begins at 25" and toro said back:" Well nere, we are 17 going on 25" (BANZAI!). (oh even my Friendster age now is 25 T_T)

detik detik mid-life crisis

nere, is your application for your lil club ready to fill out? . Ai ya! Am I holding another competition again this year? to choose between Tokio Joe or gerobak es doger di pojokan chase plasa (man,every year we have the same prize! huahaha! toeng pletak diri!).

Wedding smeweddings!.....

yup, another wedding is confirmed for January 2004!Less than 6 months!My coursin is getting married, after only 3 months dating! YES! is express marriage the trend rite now? How well can you know your future spouse in less than a year? How long a courtsthip is proper before deciding to get married?(not 2 or 3 months in totoro's book!). But yesterday, we finally got the chance to see my future cousin in law at a birthday dinner. Hum, pretty big girl and quite loud ^^. (in borderline to somewhat "kasar"). I still prefer my brother's girlfriend all in all. Due to recent things that happened, kayaknya gua kudu bersyukur dapat calon adek ipar yg baek, hahahaha!ternyata punya sibling cowo itu susah juga (about finding the rite girl that fit the whole dynasty!). During yesterday's dinner, suddenly out of nowhere we were talking about this nephew of mine who is older than me by 3 years! (funny kan! I have an older nephew). Well he is my nephew if we look the family tree! and My so called nephew is married and has 2 kids...that fact just elevate me to a new status called 'GRANDMOTHER' (gawk! totoro is a grandma at so young age....hahahahaha! well kalau diliat dari family tree-nya emang begitu!)..another dent for my so called mid-life crisis!

Didn't do much during this weekend, just went to TA, finally getting my Sailor Moon vol 11 and also saw WOM is full of Jerry Yan's new album! And funny to say, during my drive back from TA, tuned in to Cakrawala, and they were reviewing Jerry Yan's new album. I was able to hear 3 songs from his new solo album, and I have to admit, the songs are quite good (note to myself: cari bajakannya aja deh di mangga dua, no need beli asli!) . Announcement: XML is having a sale, so go hurry you might get some good clothings!Since I got a nice blue top only for 50 thousand rups! (yay). But too bad, the new arrival clothings are not on sale, so kinda have to wait for a couple of months for that! And for some odd reasons, yesterday toro watched the whole MIJ concert again ^^ , the best SMAP concert according to chincila, I dunno know why, but takuya looked so sexy and hot in here (phew...).

Nenek, jia you nenek...wo bang ni prayers form here, scud missile akan dikirimkan beginning today ^^

(kenapa belakangan ini agak males ngeblog yah? hi hi hi)

btw, Legend of Speed is a darn good series boo! I totally recommend this new series from lee wei ^^

toro dazed & confused 09:59

BUMPER OH BUMPER......*dang*

This weekend is full of bumpers!Well, last saturday finally got my hands of Legend of Speed and Say Yes Enterprise. Starting last Friday, I caught Say Yes airing on Phoenix TV. And guess what?It's telling the story of Lee Wei and Cecilia Yip. Man, I hate the current storyline about the mother complex love story (Yikes), but LEE WEI is pretty much EADIBLE!!! (Irini, you would agree with me rite?). And to top everything, Mike He Jun Xiang is playing as Lee Wei's best friend. (that's icing on the cake). But moving on to watch LOS,rented the first 2 episodes, turned out I am going to buy the whole set, since the story is pretty much interesting (I am buying the pirated VCDs of course! Mei you cien leh!). Opening song sung by Lee Wei and so was the ending song. The surprising part was the ending song was written (lyric) by Lee Wei and composed by Jay Chou!!!! Can you take a look at this following sceencap? Maybe dabs you can help me reading the words ^_^ (I only can read the word zhuo and chang)


that's jay's chinese name rite ^_^


Sunday, toro laura and shinta went out for Birthday lunch. Turned out GOEMON closed for lunch during weekend! (forgot to check about this!) So we finally went to have lunch at Shabu House in EX. Quite good lunch, since I've been there before with nere (just expensive). They on the way back, I wanted to grab some breads from Crystal Jade, where we found ARI WIBOWO with his friends posing for a group picture in front of Crystal Jade (they probably just got back from Church anyway)...BUT HELLOU!!!ARBO..SO DAMN HANDSOME (and he's in early 30s)..BUT WHO HOOOOO...wearning black t-shirt, grey jeans (a good jeans since my eyes were all over looking at his butt *heks*....at the end laura ye shuo...ta de pi ku sexy yo...and we laughed at that!!!). and Shinta kept mentioning...: Lookie his arms! yum yum! But the only local artiste that can give me a silly smile that would be ARBO! (I've been a fan since middle school and more so now since he converts to christianity--> icing on the cake for me, dunnot know why..udah cakep anak Tuhan juga hehehe). But he looked BETTER (more everything) in person than in TV...(hehehehe).

lookie lookie lookie lookie lookie here:






ps: that's Rainie Yang playing as Juliet opposite of Lee Wei ^_^

gotta go, need to go to Dwidaya to put my names on the list ^_^

Ambrose oh Ambrose oh Ambrose

I am back from my little adventure to see Ambrose Hsu Shao Yang and Joelle Lu Ming Jun with Laura (new partner in crime). Not overly having giddy and bubbly feeling. But let me just tell you about my story.

Got there around 4.30, and already there's a short line forming in front of the ballroom,not very crowded, met someone I know there. Around 445 they started to let people in. My camera couldn't get in. Darn those people from some FC they really checked my bag very thorough!HIkz...so I left both my cameras with Laura (she waited outside for a chance to get inside later on). So went inside, trying to get a good seating on the floor. The MC were 2 radio personalities from Cakrawala (local mandarin station): Rudy Xiao Wei and this woman I have no idea. They both pretty good, not cheesy and all (compared to last night's Sang Bintang hosts). Around 5.10 they started the show by showing some previews for the upcoming new taiwan series. They were Mi Jia Le Zhi Weu (Energy), Legend of Speed (LEE WEI OH LEE WEI OH SHUAI SHUAI GE!!!!) and Mars (Zaizai and Da S). Oh maybe just maybe Lee Wei can come to Indo to promote his latest drama ^_^!...But the meet and greet was started by Ting TIng singing then finally the rest of the cast came out. There were Q&A session between the stars and fans. Then we could take pictures with them (since there weren't many people that came, probably around 100).

During waiting for my turn to take picture with them, suddenly laura showe up from nowhere hahahaha..YES SHE BROKE IN !!!! HAHAHA and harlo I finally got my cameras from her and she took my picture when it was my group's turn to take picture with Ambrose etc. heheheh after that they did little drawing for dinner with the cast (heard it was somewhere in MK or PM?) then near the end, Ambrose talked to the fans in english, saying that he love to come to Indonesia often, and wanted the fans to like him always hehehehe ^_^....and end of story!

a short review huh? well there was nothing excited there..the typical meet and greet I assume? Here are some pictures taken with my digicam, it was pretty dark (I hate the lighting, so dimmed!)...enjoy...If I have more pictures I will post them later next week >_<








btw the lil picture up there is P-Chan!! can u guess >_<

toro dazed & confused 21:58

Ambrose oh Ambrose.....

and here I am back to write a short blog perhaps?...well I decided to go to pick up Ambrose at the airport. This time toro was going totally alone. Getting there with the only information I got from "someone" that Ambrose was flying in from Shanghai (seperated from Joelle and Kuo Ting Ting etc), I got there around 3, finally found out that Ambrose was flyin' in with Garuda straight from Shanghai. Saw a bunch of girls (the usual people I've met), hanging around Terminal D (they probably waited for Joelle etc earlier). So around 310pm, the plane finally landed and suddenly Terminal D was empty of those girls, and toro went to panick mode. Well, the only one left was this camera guy that was tailed by these 2 high school girls. Minute was ticking..and toro was literally panicking! was ambrose going out by another door? but all international flights are coming in thru Terminal D. Suddenly that camera guy started to walk to Terminal E..and YES PEOPLE, TORO FOLLOWED HIM..AND GUESS WHA I SAW! those bunch of girl were already crowding (around 10-20 maks) the exit!!..around 10 minutes waiting..there he went! Ambrose walking out straight..and those girls started screaming and toro was ready with her beloved and loyal DV cam, followed him to the car.....the girls were crowding him, but the bodyguard were shielding him. But ambrose was friendly he waved around, he was wearing sleeveless flannel shirt and sun glasses. hair do is the same like in Liang Nu Lang. here are some 2 decent pictures! (since I was using my DV, so no good pictures) Perhaps tommorow if i can take som piccies during the M&G



(whose back is it?)

Mr Kimura is BACK!!

listening to: Heiwa by &G

a new layout ^^. Finally I have the time to change my layout, the Energy one lasted about 3 weeks? (I think I changed it after coming back from KL). Just like Irinipredicted, my CLBK lasted like those hollywood marriages . Anything new in my life?Hum let's see.......ehmm no!

Sunday, I went to Sylwin's indo Wedding held in ShangRi La chinese restaurant (btw, Good shrimp mayonaise yummy also with that fresh brocolli!). We had a very long 10 course dinner! By the time we finished the dessert, we all were practically frozen by the cold AC (thank God, I am wearing long sleeves Shirt instead a flimsy black dress!). But it was great to see Syl and Keith again, also we got the chance to see their wedding video and all the candid pictures on her wedding day, which was very cute! I love syl's pictures hahahah so farnie!!! But all in all...had a very good sunday, after early in the morning (after church) I ran down to KINO PS to get nere's TV Life (the day before I bought the exact same thing for NENEK, since NAKAI is in the cover, since he's going to Athens for the Olympic to host for TBS, if I am not wrong!)

I've been having trouble with my weight again. My diet is practically off!Nowadays although I no longer eat any rice or bread or even noodle, but sometimes I started to snacking!!! (bad habit) especially with the PMS I am having, practically always in hungry mode! Now with the new ASTRO is finally installed, every nite watched the enews that started very late (rerun) at 11pm, which caused me lack of sleeping! (so very hard to wake up in the early morning!).

VCDwise, I practically have nothing to watch!Well, to tell you the truth I have lots of VCDs to watch, but just too lazy to watch them. Last thing I watched was Nip/Tuck and 2 days ago finally watched Kill Bill vol 2 which was not as good or brutal as the first one! (I kinda fell asleep too during watching vol 2).

I know I should't buy Jay Chou's Qi Li Xiang but yesterday I went to WOM and asked them whether they had it or not and turned out it was sold out. So I walked to Duta Suara who apparently had the last copy (w/o the photo book), which I instantly brought the CD to the cashier to pay! (darn you TORO!). But my CD playlist becoming very crunchy these days!!! (just so bored with everything!!!). I started to re-watch all my SMAP concerts! (they only thing that can get me smiling like some teenage girls!!)

So what I have been doing these past weeks? I am back with my old hobby! REading!!! (yep!!!) I love reading books! (hahahah)..I started going to kino and ended up buying books and left bankrupt! (books that are not related to my hobby!!!how normal! OH SYET!! NERE NERE! HELP! AM I TURNING INTO VINNIE?....YOU ARE MY SUZETTE!!)

maybe the only thing that can get me going is to go to Ambrose's event this weekend! Ambrose Hsu is coming with Joelle Lu Ming Jun (and other 2 casts from Liang Nu Lang). I am going to WOM again this afternoon to get my original VCD! (heks). Well I want to see Ambrose up close, so I don't mind lah buying his VCD since it;s only 20 episodes and I have Rp60,000 OFF from WOM.So total money spent probably only around 230rb (suddenly those stamps becoming very useful!!!). Maybe in the event of seeing Ambrose this Friday/Sat, I should start watching Liang Nu Lang tonite! So at least I know what's the drama about and can get myself in the "groupies" mode? hahaha but this time I am going solo for his Meet n Greet! hehehe Nobody is willing to spend the money! Man should I even go? I am not his big fans or sthing, but still I like him loh! Like his voice and all! Had his albums also! I should just go before I am pitying myself of not goin g in the corner of my pinkies room

Should get going now, I need to do something then off to TA ^_^. If I see Ambrose I would probably back blogging this weekend. Ah the old Energy layout is going to be put up in my other blog >_<

Wonderful Live by &G (Goro Inagaki)

Ah yes! I am watching Nip/Tuck right now and addicted to it!It is one good series and very vulgar of course. I love vulgar series like that hahaha just see SATC, QAF and now Nip/Tuck. What is it about? It's about 2 plastic surgeon docters that lived in South Florida. One of them is played by Julian McMahon (COLE in Charmed). But too bad Julian is placing an asshole doctor that practically fucked someone (or someones!!) in every episode and a doctor without moral etchic to add that (He just loves money and a sex addict huahaha).The show itself is very vivid in showing us how to do Liposuction (GROSS SO GROOSSSS!!), breast implants and butt implants and other plastic surgersy (nose job, boob job, ass job, fat job, waist job etc etc etc etc). Oh but watching them doing the liposuction is just totally gross! They just cut your skin and suck the fat out (EUHHHHH.. suddenly loving my extra fat here and there! huahaha) or when they're doing a nose job...they just practically pick the nose with scalpel and carved the bone or sthing. It's just euhh...or the ass job...that's just plain disgusting...euh euh euh euh!!! Why would anyone do that, I don't think I can hahahhahaha! But honestly I recomment this series, you can find it in Mangdu or Glodok or wherever DVD is sold. It's the complete 1st season. It was originally aired summer last year. So now in the States they are just starting Season 2. Recommended!!!! (I like this better than QAF though...QAF is sometimes just too much, not the humping and all *mind u*..but the topics all around it...sometimes for me it's too bor-ing?)

Anyone likes SOUTH PARK? It's a cartoon by Trey Parker and Matt Stone that is very vulgar and crude!! It's about this 4 8-year old boys named Kenny, Kyle, Stan and Cartman ( I love him hahaha..he's not fat but big bone). This cartoon has lots of profanities!!! and they practically made joke about everything. There is Jesuc character that has his own talkshow. Satan has a gay relationship with Saddam Hussin! and hahahah the F word is frequently used of course!...the funny thing is that Kenny always died in every episode.
When Kenny dies, Stan will say: OMG, THEY KILLED KENNY!! followed by Kyle saying: YOU BASTARD! (hahahaha)...I used to watch SP back then in Boston, but a couple of days ago I borrowed SP from nenek. It was always funny to re-watch South Park again ^^

and yesterday...........ASTRO IS FINALLY INSTALLED IN MY HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND STARTED TO WATCH TVBS YU LE XIN WEN AGAIN!! AND WATCHED AZIO TOO hahahahaha...well ASTRO doesn't actually have Asia Plus, but the AZIo ent show is aired (one day delay telecast) on Asian Entertaiment Channel in ASTRO..so practically I am happy! But I am also fixing my regular satellite in hoping to get my Channel V and Asia Plus and might be CETV back! heheh but TVBS alone already make my day!They have Very Tension. 5C Fun Energy and Yu Le XIn Wen with He Jun Xiang as host! What can I ask for more leh? But now everyday I will be stucked in front of the TV watching from one entertaiment show to another one in another channel! hahah

AZIO at 7pm followed by TVB8 ENter. show at 8pm TVBS Yu Le Xin Wen at 4.30pm and at 515pm there is Phoenix Enews! (yeah!!! too much!!!and they probably airing the same thing! huahaha!)..syesssss.....I have to go now....Must go to travel agents to find out about trips to Chung Guo or even Ri Pen (yay?)..Yep...wo de jia ren yao qu chung qui or ri pen for Lebaran Holiday leh (finally not going to Puncak again!)
