missing yesterday much?

Not-so-new newsflash: Archie and Indra got in to 70!! Yeah!!

Moving on..
Yesterday, @ Ped's I listened to Wilco's Heavy Metal Drummer and a few other "senior year songs" while looking at the graduation picture of me & the girls. Uh-oh, flashback attacked. That Wilco's song had always reminded me of one certain brief moment back in senior year. And yesterday, it still did.

Yesterday, when the flash of that 'she-fell-in-love-with-the-drummer' thingy in that narrow hallway came back to me...Oh, how I miss high school so much! I miss those days...when a moment like that was already the most dreadful one you can find. When some guy was just another so-called "high-school crush" from the class across the hallway. When I could see all of PedBun&Roz at least 6 days a week. When the only thing that I required to do to see him was standing up from my chair, and there he was, always laughing at godknowswhat with his friends.

I MISS THOSE DAYS!!!

Everyday I'd come to my class, the infamous 3IPS1, and put my bag and my oversized binder on my desk. And when I came a bit late, I would have to fight for my territory either with Ocha, or Yoyo, or Oho, or practically anyone. All day long, all I did was either:
*taking care of our "pojok tenang" scrapdoor (by 'our' I mean me & the girls),
*cooling myself (or sleeping) beneath the fan,
*going for a drink at the cafetaria and never going back to the class,
*sitting in the hallway and singing our ass off,
*and practically everything!
I (& *ahem* some people) would go out to the hallway and we (yes, we! ;p) would gush about some guys for the obvious reason. And my classmates who knew about this 'crush' thingy would tease us about it. Sometimes Ingga would play guitar, and I along with a bunch of people would sing from one song to lotsa others, off-key of course. And Isya would sing either green-day's songs or dangdut xD Rian would get on my nerve and we would fight like always. Nisye and Yoyok would constantly fight. Basically people would do their own not-so-ordinary things.

Later on, I & the girls would skip the extra classes. When we skip class, you most likely would find us at the Lamandau (eating Pak Jun's satay, or buying Quickly, or eating satay padang (i could eat two portions at once)), or at Blok M Plaza (watching some movie at the cinema, or getting out pics taken). We'd go back to the school when the classes were dismissed. We'd sit on the green bench or the pink bars on the field, watching people passed by, or the guys playing soccer, or just the guys, period. ;p

When it got darker and the school was almost empty, I'd go home with whoever that could take me home that day. I'd write about that day on my journal, how fun it was, how fine-looking someone was, how dreading it was when I did something stupid in front of that someone. And I don't remember it clearly, but I definitely remember how I could sleep tight at night knowing the next morning I would go back to my high-school and the day would turn out to be another happiness-filled day with my friends. Awwwwwwwww!

I could go on and on and on about how great it all was...but no use, huh? I miss my high-school, I'm practically stuck in the shadow of my high-school life; but still, nothing can change the fact that I'm no longer in it. I've passed high-school and it's been too far gone. Two years...tsk tsk. I'm old.

I MISS THOSE OLD DAYS!! *said that already, haven't I?*
And I wish I could go back to that time when everything was that simple.

"sun comes up then go away
so does graduation day
you did your walk of fame and that was it

Black Coffee

Day dreaming
Chain smoking
Always laughing
Always joking
I remain the same,
Did I tell you that I love you?


Feel like singing, in case you're wondering. I know, I know, All Saints?? But still, I think they are the most decent girlband among the others. Heheh.

Smile, because you never know when you will sob again

And here's another reminder from iforgetwhere,

Smile, today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday

Kriztal Reunion

I just got home from IPS1 reunion that I mentioned yesterday. It went great. Not everyone could make it, but that's okay. I went to Citos with the girls and Mira. When we arrived, Agay, Ocha & Icha were already there. But Icha only stayed for like, 5 minutes or so (she had to go to Puncak). I still appreciate her for showing up though. Then there were Rian, Bhe, Tondi, Dinar, Isya, Nisye, and Ingga. Some of them protested bcos we were running a bit late, namely Ocha. Heheh, we were bickering just like the old times. He even pulled Rosel's hair, and then Rosel chased him around like little kids xD

First, we gathered around @ Starbucks. But then due to the lack of seat and not-quite-comfortable atmosphere, we moved to Coffee Bean. Later on, Kacank came with Moron, then Ebonk with Bangun, and lastly Oho came (very very late). O yeah, Bebek & Sani were also there. And o yeah, Angga.

At first, few people were scattering around (Agay, Rian, Bhe, Tondi went to grab some meal @ A&W, then later on Ingga and *I forget who* did the same, then Agay went with Sani and Bebek to godknowswhere). And then people chatted in groups; yknow, I still sat next to the girls, Bhe-Tondi-Agay were on the separated table, Isya and Rian were involved in their own computer-related talks...

However, as time went by, things got much easier. What's a gathering without picture-taking, right? So we took some great pictures. No, scratch that, we took TONS of pictures. Then I finally managed to get my lazy ass to stand up and chatted with each one of my ex-classmates. Oh how I missed them so much. Isya was still hilarious, Ingga was still a dear, Rian was as nerve-racking as always, Nisye-Mira-Dinar were still the only few girls that I could stand, Ocha was still..well, Ocha, and the rest...they were still pleasant to be around.

I took a picture of me & Ocha, and people were teasing us about being brother & sister, and about our chins. Later on, I fought with Rian (bcos: 1st, he almost spilled coffee to my lap, 2nd, he put an old newspaper into my bag without me knowing it, and other unimportant reasons), and some people were joking about making bets of who'd be the winner. Seriously, just like the old times! They're still the same, most lovable set of classmates that I've ever known. Yup, some good things just don't change, except maybe now we see each other once in a blue moon.

Wee-hoo, seriously, the reunion had been fun. Love 'em all, they're the best and comforting. Okay2, I think I've gone overboard with all of this class-praising. But who cares, Kriztal rocks! IPS1 (2001-2002) rules, and pity on you who wasn't included in it! xP

Recap

*Monday*

Woke up early in the morning to go to the airport (Jaya was leaving the country). It should've been a sob-fest moment, but heck, I think I'll see jaya when I go to Malaysia, so, I still can hold back the tears.

Afterwards, I spent the whole afternoon @ Bangun's. Trying hard to stay clean and sober. And I did. Stay clean & sober, that is. Save it for the rainy days, yknow.. ;p Heheh. Then, after I took a nap @ Bangun's porch (xp), Pedhe & I headed to Bune's just to have a lil chit-chat. In the evening, we went to Rosel's supposedly to kill some time. But then tante Retno asked us to stay over. So we did. Heheh.

*Tuesday*

Rosel had to go to her campus (she's taking the short-semester thingy); so we went to Depok to drop Rosel and to pick Bune altogether. Took some cute pics, as always. Heheh.

That night, Bune & I stayed over @ Pedhe's. We roasted some marshmallows, and watched Freaky Friday (been a long time since I watched those guilty-pleasure-fest teen flicks). Sounds like a decent, fun girls-night-in huh? Well, it would've been, if only Bune didn't fall asleep during the dvd-watching (kidding, Bun :p)

*Wednesday*

Nothing significant. Bune had to go home. So it was only me, stayed over @ Ped's again.

*Today*

Pedhe & I spent the afternoon trying to install the...what...USB thingy for her DV's. Then, supposedly we wanted to catch Spiderman 2 at the cinema, but we were, um, like, 5 minutes late. So we only had dinner at the Daily Bread.

*Random Notes

+Tomorrow there will be a li'l reunion for IPS1. *crossing fingers* hope it'll be fun.

+I found out tonight, that his number is on my cell's dialled list. How the hell did it get there?? Anyhow, don't really care.
