Setengah Magister

Jadi, kemarin saya baru saja seminar penelitian program magister biologi Institut Teknologi Bandung. Syukur sih, seminarnya berjalan lancar. Tapi kalau saya mendefinisikan, saya sendiri merasa penilaian saya berada dalam range good, bukan pada range excellent. Tapi tidak apa-apa sih, toh sejauh ini lancar-lancar saja.

Sekarang, saya sedang menulis thesis magister saya. Sekedar mengingatkan diri sendiri juga, judul thesis saya sih rencananya adalah “Efek pemaparan cahaya biru terhadap gelombang otak area kognitif dan area motorik pada pengemudi simulasi mobil di malam hari”. Yah, mungkin masih akan ada perbaikan, tapi sepertinya ini sudah mencakup sebagian besar penelitian saya sih.

Lucid Dreaming, for the first time.

Okay so, here's the thing.

Right now, i am currently staying in Magelang, or specifically, in front of Borobudur Heritage Conservation Center or you can see me in the map of this post. I just added this. Yep, i'm currently in the middle of internship there and i'm doing a research about moss here. I write up about my internship later in a different posts.

This afternoon, my internship partner, Adinda Gita Priyantika, had left for Magelang because of her aunt was sick and hospitalized. So, yeah i'm being left out in this house alone because the house owner had to left for a neighboring funeral. Without any further ado, i choose to sleep of course and yeah this is the title of this post came on.

So, i realized like people usually said in blogs or forums. About lucid dreaming or else. All i can say about that is, don't really put your hopes that high about lucid dreaming. I thought it would be that extravagant of having a lucid dream. But well, it's actually like, ok i admit it was fun and something else. But it wasn't like i was expected. My biggest problem here is that i really had things i wanted so in the end i confused which hope i should be done first. In the end, well, i think my head is more honest than my heart, yeah i did wonder about how a friend of mine, looked naked. I wonder about the hips and, yeah, the chest (i won't use that word here). I won't mentioned the name here, but first thing that even the me in the dream realized "WHY SHOULD I WONDER ABOUT THIS AND WHY SHOULD I EVEN CAN IMAGINE THIS" i mean, it's like i didn't have any other things to be wondered about right? Ok now i'm a pervert -____-.

After that, i do even wonder how about being able to build a building like Ariadne in Inception or even fly or even throwing a magical fireball from my hand. But the problem is, i don't even know what kind of building i want to build, where i want to fly, and i don't even know how big is the fireball i wanted. God, even lucid dreaming needs to be that detail to be that exciting.

I don't know how other people experiencing lucid dreaming, but that's what i experienced and i do consider that as lucid dreaming because i had this knock in my dream before, then i realized i was dreaming, and then i tried to open my eyes and move my body, but i can't. That's when i realized my brain already awake fully but i still had a sleep paralyze. Oh now i do remember, i can't think that much while having a lucid dream because i tried to find a way to wake up from this state. Whew i really tried to have this lucid dream before, but now, when i had it, i just tried to escape from it. Irony? Yeah. But all i can say about this is i don't really feel comfortable about having this lucid dream because somehow, i love my friends in reality, especially my bestfriend, i do even have this girl i love. I know i can recreate all those things in my dream but in the end, i love the unexpected from the reality. I don't really want to live in the world where i control everything, and everything would do exactly as i wanted. So, living in a dream, is a scary thing for me.

Oh, i also remembered about my knock. I don't really remember the dream before it, but i do remember that the knock is when i tried to hug a girl i love, but in the end it turned to be a ghost called Pocong in my country (try to look it up in google if you wonder about this). Seriously, it gave me a shock but i just can't get awake from my dream. Now i do understand  the feeling of Cobb, in inception, about how scary it is in limbo.

Another thing, i thought it would be that great in lucid dream, well.... it is clear enough and yeah, i can taste even the taste of the skin and.... ummm.... the smell. But it's not really like as i thought. It's just the same feeling when i had magic mushroom. So. I don't mind having another, but now i already tasted it, i'm not that curious anymore. :)

A weekend after double test

So, last friday i was having 2 tests. It was biology and calculus. As far as i remember, i think i've done it well at those two. For biology im pretty confident about it but it's not like that for calculus. Well, it's not that bad though.

After the test, 5 pm, me and some of my friends were thinking about watching alice in wonderland. Using my blitzcard, i've got the ticket for midnight and we decided to meet up at Simpang's McD at 11 pm.

After meeting up, we went directly to blitz and there i was a little shocked to know that some of my LFM's friends was there too. Actually, there was a little problem back there. The ticket couldn't be collected because i'm too eager to push the button so the ticket was stuck ROFL. Well, thanks god we've got technician working in this world.

For my personal opinion, Alice in wonderland is very outstanding! Since i don't know the story, i can fully enjoy this movie and it makes me feel like back to children. I was absorbed and wow the effect is so cool. I think i'll be writing the review after this.

After watching the movie, i met this man, Zetra, the one whom i usually chat with in plurk. It's totally random, from all the places in this world and all time in this space, why should last night i met him? Rofl. It's a very random encounter because i shout to Bintang "Hey you otaku!" and zetra recognize the otaku word and he greeted me.

Well, the movie's finished at 2am. Still a long time to 5 am because some of my friends Kost is still locked. Because of that, we decided to go to Ciwalk's Embassy. Okay this is my first experience being inside the club. It's a different world from where i used to live. I don't smoke, drink or having sex blah blah inside. Just enjoying the music and the beat. Well yeah for my opinion, it's fun and relieving. The entrance stamp still marked in my hand now and this makes me feel somewhat guilty. In my opinion, it's not that bad being there though.

We came out from that club at 5am and back to Simpang's McD again to wait till 6am. Some of us were sleeping there and some were playing with their gadget. And after that we went back to our Kost. And when i arrived at my kost, i directly went to bed and woke up at 2pm rofl.

Well that's it for now. A wise thing to know that experience is expensive but you'll be needing it a lot. : )

Traffic Jam and Thievery

No, it's not like the title is in one event. it is a seperated event. it's not like my goods been stolen when i'm standing in a traffic jam, no, not even a kapak merah which is very trend in indonesia. it's not like that.

Yesterday, i slept over at dimas'. well just consider it as a summer camp LOL xD. i slept over because the night before we had a little grilling party. I messaged my mom that i'm going to be home at 7am but it turns out that i'm too lazy and dimas' house somehow is very cozy XD and i went home at 2pm -.-"

At home, i feel very sleepy and i took a noon nap. about 4pm, mom asked me whether i want to go to Jakarta Fair or not. actually, i already planned to go there at monday, but mom insisted yesterday. and yes, as a Nice child (:p) i agreed.

About 7pm, we arrived on the opposite side of PRJ. but whoa. the traffic jam's lined up about 1 KM. Nyunyunyu it's crazy -.-. mom also in her period, which makes her more sensitive. Urgh, it's totally misfortune T-T. I said to my mom that it's better to get home. somehow, she's agreed. but since she's in her period, she's somehow shows very very irritated face. well, it's not strange since i know it's very tiring to drive.

Before going home, mom called her sister (Which i called Bude) and there, my Bude told my mom that her Warnet just got broken out. 17 LCDs and 2 PCs are gone. And total of lost is about 30Million Rupiahs. Mom really shocked and turn the car into my Bude house.

There, she told us that the thief is very carefull. He already buzz up the neighborhood bell since 2 weeks ago to make sure that the neigborhood didn't waken when the thievery take place. and the most surprising thing, that there was a fingermark. but there isn't any fingerprints. police said that this means the thief was using a gloves. Omona, it seems the thief is very very professional. an even the door, my Pakde ( Bude's husband ) said that it was picklocked by some liquid. OMONA.

Well, at least my pakde already ask his friends in places which usually these kind of things sold. hopefully the thief could be busted there. Amin.

Oh another story, my friend, Waliya, she's also had these kind of thing. it was when she was alone at her house. About in a middle of noon, someone come at her house. and they weren't in front of gate but already coming in front of the front door. And when she open the door, there was two scary people. they told her that they were electric engineer, and asks waliya to pay for 100 thousand rupiahs. she said that if they want to ask for that kind of money why they didn't include it in monthly fee? but they said that it was different. well, waliya paid it after all. i think also that it's better than she's being harmed right?

well, i think we have to more carefull since now things aren't that safe anymore. many reasons which these thief could use. Just, be carefull : )
