RITAS

QUIET HEARTBEAT

HOLIDAY OH, HOLIDAY.

I want holiday to come. I can't wait to go back to Jakarta. I want my assignments done and my exams disappear. I have 4 weeks of school left, next week is going to be a pain because i have 4 assignments due, and then in 2 weeks I'll have my preliminary year 11 exams. Fun, right? I have given my lunch times to study now, well I hate going to the canteen at lunch anyway, too many people. So in 4 weeks, I'll finish year 11. In 4 weeks I'm coming back to Jakarta. In 4 weeks, I'll be a 15 year old 12th grader (my whole math class found out I was 15 today.... I got some strange looks).

I CAN'T STOP SMILING WATCHING THIS VIDEO. OCTOBER HURRY UP, PLEASE COME, I SIMPLY CANNOT WAIT.

FLASHOVER

I'm just going to tell you about my plans for this weekend.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON: I will buy TICKETS FOR VAMPIRE WEEKEND Oh I can't stop jumping and giggling like a twelve-year-old girl going to a Justin Bieber concert. Then probably go home and watch The Simpsons/Criminal Minds/Britain's Next Top Model alone while eating a Ben & Jerry's ice cream.
SATURDAY: Finally, I will hang out with TUNA. Hopefully all day, go to flea market, talk about Foals and go to HMV. Doing the things we do. And then Amanda's birthday party.
SUNDAY: Stay at home and finish my English/Drama/Art essays. Fun!

I'm gonna work on my English essay now. Here's a present for you:
// Flashover - Klaxons from their new album Surfing The Void, OUT NOW IN A STORE NEAR YOU. Well not every store, if you live in Indonesia... I doubt it. Singapore? Maybe, wait a month or two, So I'll rephrase that sentence... AVAILABLE IN ITUNES/AMAZON NOW.

MEAT IS MURDER

No I'm just kidding not it's not well I don't think it is but it's your opinion I was just quoting The Smiths' song/album.
HI WEIRD PEOPLE WHO IS ACTUALLY READING MY POST. I'm taking a break from my studies, I have this whole thing plan out where I study every recess and lunch times, and give up my social life and not go out on weekends. But no this weekend, because TUNA IS COMING TO SG AND AMANDA IS HAVING A BIRTHDAY PARTY.
Well anyway, Gloria is filled with information about Congo, Leopold II, how to analysis sources and the nature of European society.

Here's a picture of Yannis:

Gloria: the name of my brain.

YOU'RE SHIT, GET OFF.

UNTHINK THIS

THE KIDS DON'T STAND A CHANCE

She helped me with my Art video, isn't she cute? Her name is Lucy, and I swear she has the prettiest eyes.

FREAK

Me and a couple of my friends had ramen today. The ramen was goooodd. Now I'm spending my friday watching Simpsons while eating Ben & Jerry's, yes I am a party animal.
Apparently there's this DJ party thing somewhere in Sentosa? .....If Steve Aoki was playing, Cobrasnake is there and there weren't so much underage prostitutes, I would come. On the plus side, I might be going to a flea market tomorrow, and gonna watch HANDSOME FURS on Sunday. Good thing I don't have any homework, though I have a History test on Wednesday.

I NEED TO BE SMART DAMMIT. History is such a pain in the ass.

Oh and on another plus side, I GOT THE PASSWORD FROM GREENHORN PRODUCTIONS oh yeah oh yeah with this password I can buy those VAMPIRE WEEKEND concert a day before and get those front row seats.
Oh. Yeah.

Got bored again. I should probably start my 1500-word drama essay that is due on Monday...

AYE AM FOALS-CRAZY AYE TELLS YAH. FOALS-CRAZY.

ASTRONAUTS AND ALL

I'm just going to tell you readers about my day today. 12 August 2010. This post would be like a diary 'cause I think some interesting things happened today.

So I wake up lazy as usual at 6 AM, left house and missed my bus so I had to wat for another 15 minutes. I also almost lost $50 on my way to the bus stop, that $50 was to pay back a friend 'cause I borrowed his money last Friday. I went back and retrace my step as I wait for my usual 159 bus and a guy riding a bicycle almost took my money. He actually cycled away and good thing I screamed "HEY!" at him so he gave back my money.

Then I almost fell over on the bus... I just need to add there, was not pleasant.

School was fine, English was fun. And surprisingly so was Legal Studies. Kirra and I talked about how we're annoyed by people from our school suddenly getting tumblr. Then in class we discussed the Bali 9. Oh this day was also known as THE DAY NIKITA WAS WRONG. Nikita is a superly smart classmate that is, almost never, wrong when it comes to lessons. For once, she was wrong and the class went dead silence and looked at her. Ooo yeaa.
Anyway we talked about Bali 9, and Indonesian government, and how bad it was. I quite enjoyed it because I actually know what I'm talking about, being it's about Indonesia and all.
Then at the end of the class, we were giving a scenario. We were to pretend we're Australian, who got caught for drug possession in Jakarta, cannot speak Bahasa Indonesia, was forced to sign a legal document that was in Bahasa and write a pleading letter to the Australian Prime Minister... Fun, yeah kinda.

After that I went to see my friend Wafiy who had previously borrowed my camera for his Art project. Turns out he left it in the cab this morning. I was about to cry just then, and I couldn't concentrate for the next period + lunch. I met him again at lunch, and he had my camera. My face lit up, apparently he ran to the taxi company (wasn't very far from school, I think. Don't really know where it is but, he said he ran there...) and got my camera back. I just have to tell you my bored readers, that HE IS AN AWESOME FRIEND.

The rest of the day was boring. I ate cheese sticks. Cheese sticks are good.

FOALS ARE DISTRACTING ME FROM MY STUDIES

I'm sorry, have you guys seen this?

I just can't stop watching this. It's too good. The host's impression of the Kooks' accent. Yannis' beatboxing. IT'S..... JAMES LANCE. Tim's and Phil's amusing jokes. The fact that they were dancing and beatboxing to Daft Punk and of course, them discussing Walter's face in the front cover of NME (a descedant of Lord lord kitchener).
I shall go back on finishing my math assignment now... Math is fun.

ARE YOU 18+?

Doesn't matter. Just make sure your parents aren't in the same room as you are.

FEZ

Amazing song. Charlie McDonnell you genius.

TWO STEPS, TWICE

I can't stop listening to foals. I just can't. It's 3:39 am right now, I can't sleep. I want to sleep, I'll sleep later. I'm blogging right now, blogging is fun right? Well, my mom and sister are coming to Singapore tomorrow. I'm going to have a nice long talk with my mom, we're going to negotiate. You see my precious reader, there are a lot of bands coming to Singapore and Jakarta that I really want to watch. Now I will list the following bands and the reason why I want to watch them:

• Steve Aoki, JKT: He's coming to SG too yeah but, my Aoki buddy Marigold is in Jakarta.
• Vampire Weekend, SG: It's vampire weekend, the gig would be filled with tweens, fakes and indie-try-hards but, it would still be worth it.
• Vampire Weekend, JKT: Tuna and I want to experience watching Vampire Weekend together, and we plan to scream "EZZZZRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" really loud in the concert until he look our way/reply us.
• Temper Trap, JKT: Uhm a diabolical plan to touch Toby's beard....
• Tokyo Police Club, JKT: The fact that they're not coming to Singapore annoys me, but watching a gig in Jakarta is without a doubt 120% much more fun than in Singapore.
• Crystal Castles, JKT: Well this hasn't been confirmed yet but I'm still waiting. MARIGOLD AND I ARE GOING TO DANCE HARD TO PAP SMEAR, LIKE THAT AMERICAN GUY DANCING IN THE SUBWAY, AND CRIMEWAVE, our summer song 2k8?

So I'm done rambling. Here's a gift from me to you.
Foals - Dearth (Bonus track from the single Balloons)
Foals - Gold Gold Gold (Bonus track from the single Red Socks Pugie)

MEMES

A nice way to kill boredom.

THE DECEPTAPUNKS ARE ON THEIR WAY.

I'm gonna start blogging again. Maybe. Possibly. We'll see how this goes.
GO LISTEN TO FOALS NOW KIDDIES. GO ON.
