The Vagabond that is BananaYanana

In case you don’t know, IMO stands for In My Opinion.

This post will just be pretty brief, and it’s meant to engage you guys into thinking! :)

Anyways, straight to the point. IMO, I think that people, no matter from what background they are, have a lot in common. I’m not entirely sure how I should explain this, but I just felt that way. Even though I am in Canada right now, I’m beginning to see similarities between Canada and Indonesia. People here basically just do the same thing we do in Indo, but they have their own way of doing it.

Ok, take an example: we Indonesians, especially citizens of Jakarta, probably see a lot of hooligans being all boorish and loud on the streets when the national soccer team is playing. But here in Vancouver people go ape sh** when Canucks are playing.

I can’t really describe this in words, but if you’ve lived in another country, you probably know what I’m saying.

That’s it for IMO today.

Heeeelllooooooooooooooooooo!!!

Whadddupppppp peeeepz!

So this is my FIRST REAL WEEKEND. Whew. Literally (ish). What I meant is its a legit Saturday where I just forget about crap and go ape shiznit. No homework, no nothing. Just chilling with ma homies. So there was the Indonesian Cultural Night today, and it went pretty well. We’ve got performances, and AWESOME food. Glenn, my friend in UBC (and was in my high school too until grade 10), became the MC. Haha it’s kind of funny seeing him all nervous while he was mc-ing, but great job nonetheless.

Just a thought though: we need a solid-er Indonesian community. Seriously. And yes, seriously bad grammar. More solid, there ya go.

I know a whole lot of Indonesians who just don’t give a damn and just doesn’t want to get involved you know. Then again it’s just how life is. Nothing’s perfect. Even for UBC Engineers, who I believe are really solid, they are not THAT solid if you really think about it. There are probably thousands of engineer students but only few are involved and participates in activities.

But I do have to say Indonesians’ level of ignorance is over 9000. Well most I would say. Alright I don’t want to start judging and all, but yeah, just saying. Who knows they have more important errands, or whatever.

Surprisingly both my equally super ignorant friends Nelvin and Jeffrey were there. I am impressed. Good job guys! I hope to see you guys again in other Indonesian events.

On the serious note though, I do wish that we have a more solid community, and a stronger sense of companionship and patriotism, ya know. Hopefully I can become an exec in the UBC GISAU and MAKE A DIFFERENCE! AW YEAH! Haha no I mean it. But how? That, is a good question my friend. I’ll think about it.

After that we just hung out, then Glenn asked me out to volunteer on a social kitchen? I don’t know what to call this place. It’s just a sort-of a small church and also a kitchen where homeless people can come, sing praises, and get free food. Well anyhow I was a bit reluctant at first, then the weirdest thing happened:So Glenn left first with another friend. Then I departed alone from the group of friends that I was hanging out with. On the way back, I thought “Hm, maybe I should have went with Glenn and help out” then SHAZAM Glenn was there. Yeah, God’s guidance is never too late.

It was a totally new experience to me, and it was enjoyable, I have to say. Alright honestly though, some homeless people are just annoying the balls out of me. Buuuuut they can’t be blamed anyway. I sort of pity them too, because they’re just not as lucky as my friends and I, and I am nobody to judge them, let alone mock them. They’re not homeless by their own choice, who wants to be a fricking homeless?

Well I just helped out distribute food and drinks, then helped clean up stuff. Very little number of homeless are genuinely interested in God, and so far only TWO that genuinely said ‘thank you’ in a very good manner. Some are rude explicitly, some are rude in a more subtle way. A homeless woman who seemed to be excited about singing praises and stuff suddenly just abruptly disagreed with the speaker and left. Hmm.

Anyway’s I see you’re sleeping there. Fine. Jeez. I’ll stop writing now. I guess I’ve written too much. Am I that bad at writing? :(

Yeap. Kinda felt anti-climatic. My first year of college is (finally) over. Man it felt good. Okay not really, I still feel the suspense of waiting for my exam results. Buuuut ASSUMING I will pass, it feels good :)

Anyhow, it’s been quite a trip. I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily the best trip, and wasn’t really what I expected, but it’s good enough I guess. I still have a long way ahead of me. 5 more years! Assuming I’m taking minor, or co-op that is. We’ll just see what God has in store for me.

Thinking back, I think college is WAY faster than high school. I mean, during high school times I do have to say that every year went by pretty fast. But GODDAMN college is just YOU’RE orgasm, which is FAST (oouuuhhhh). :D Haha jokes. Anyway I didn’t really imagine college would be this fast, but it’s great that it’s this fast!

Haha I’ll probably say “Damn I miss freshman year” a lot in my second year.

I can’t say for sure if college life have made me a better individual or not. Personally I don’t think so, but who knows. Besides I can say I’m a pretty pessimistic person. Haha damn, I think I should try to become an optimistic person as a New Year’s Resolution.

Well that’s it for now, I’ll probably be posting more reflections later on.

Tha2!

Let me ask you a question, have you ever got a stomach ache so bad, and you need to crap your ass off, but there’s just no bathroom around? Or if you held your jizz for 7 months and finally got the chance to ‘unload’ it unto a chick’s face?

Kay, that was kinda nasty.

But anyhow, I FINISHED MY PHYSICS 153 EXAM! Phew! Dammit it felt so good. Alright I might not pass that thing, but hey, at least it’s over now. NO MORE CIRCUITS, AC CURRENTS AND EM WAVES!

On second thought, I will be taking Electrical and Computer Engineering next year. Goddammit, forget that.

So I wanna tell you guys something a little weird/interesting. Last night I bought a coffee at Benz coffee shop while heading home from the Math 101 exam. I think it was American blend, and it was medium size. Okay I got the coffee, drank it while walking on my way home.

Gulp gulp gulp. Finished the coffee. Studied. Studied. And studied. Youtube. Youtube. Facebook. Studied. Youtube. Yada yada yada.

Until I look up at the clock and it was 7 am. Damn. Now let me share you a little bit about myself, I can stay up pretty late alright, but after 1-2 nights of no sleep, I would usually sleep at around 2 am the night after, no matter how hard I try. But this coffee got me going like a fricking 24-hour ATM machine. “Does this coffee have steroids in it?!” I thought to myself.

Alright then I tried to sleep. When I woke up, it was 9.30 am, and as soon as I woke up I am fresh and ready to go. Okay maybe no, I was damn tired yet not sleepy. I felt like an undead, and I felt that I have the urge to sink my teeth in someone’s buttocks and rip it off.

No seriously though, I felt really tired but I just can’t sleep. I was afraid that I would crash during my exam, which would SUCK big time. But I didn’t. Instead I slept while I was standing at church, no kidding. People probably thought I was having an epiphany or something because I was standing there closing my eyes and swaying my body around.

“LOOK THE HOLY SPIRIT IS WORKING ON THAT CHINESE BOY”

So the moral of the story is: I CANNOT work under pressure, nor under the influence of (steroid-ed) caffeine. I’ve learned my lesson. Let me tell you, my slacking off-level is beyond recognition this term. It’s so bad that I should win a Nobel Prize for slacking off.

Alrighty, hope you guys are enjoying your exam period! Bite the bullet and you’ll get your rightful freedom soon!

Today was Earth Day 2010, which coincidentally happen to be my best best homie’s birthday, and the birthday of another close friend.

Alright, using ‘homie’ is not a good idea. Asians are not supposed to use homie. It’s a taboo word.

Well I just want to tell you guys that, pretty random eh?

The sad thing is that it’s Earth Day and I’m doing nothing to make things better. I’m not contributing anything. I’m just sucking energy all day long by keeping my laptop plugged all day. Well what can I say, my laptop’s pretty much screwed anyway. I can’t really unplug it, it’ll just die in a second, like your male genitalia.

HAHAHA.

Well, I’ve got MATH 152 to deal with, so until my next post then guys!

Hellow everyone!

This is my new Tumbler (or tumblr or rtemtrklerrr, whatever crap) account. I’m bored so I decided to make this shiznit!

Alrighty if you know me, I also have a Blogger account, but well, I don’t know which one is the ‘major’ account but, check it out too! so here’s my Blogger account: www.bananayanana.blogspot.com.

I do hope someday I can get a little bit more serious about blogging, but right now I just have exams to deal with. What a pain.

Anyways. Peace.
