So, because 2005 is going to be over soon:
The mind-poisoning quotes from Indonesian ads of the year:
1. “It’s exciting! Ciao!”
Valentino Rossi on crack. How much did they pay you, Rossi? Oh, right, your motorcycle and all…
2. “Oh ya? Kenapa?” (“Really? Why?”)
Dearest Moreno, that’s the most embarassing thing you’ve ever done.
Etique: “He’s just standing dumbly while holding some cans.”
Tyas: “And I don’t think they’re lubricants. More like paints. He’s going to paint his house.”
3. “I really really really like it. How do I look?”
I don’t even remember the fooking product. Something anti-acne cleansing foam? I just remember the ad and the heavy fake Indian accent.
4. “Situ okeh?” (“Are you OK?”)
This is now used to ask whether the person next to you is gay.
And now Canadian culture is flooding us, thanks to O Channel. They’re buying programs from Canadian TVs. I don’t mind at all, since how else can we get Canadian bands like The Dears, Death from Above 1979, The Arcade Fire etc every week on the telly? And those Canadian programs make me know about Sissy Boys Slap Party… *ROTFL*
And lemoneko, I don’t know you saw it or not, but on O Channel last week there’s this news about a film starred by Christen… Christen who? The guy in Touch of Pink who looks like a bastard of Chris Martin/Jense Button? He plays as Wayne Gretzky (am I writing his name correctly?) - that famous hockey player who, I remember, had his own cartoon. I was an avid watcher. Back when I was far younger.
I had a nightmare last night, of Jakarta perishing in a great fire, and my house is one of the few buildings left. It’s perhaps because I had watched too many programs related to the tsunami. God, it’s been a year, hasn’t it. I shudder everytime I remember that catastrophe.
Am continuing reading Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell. OK, it began to get a more interesting now, not so dull anymore…
