Anyway, I just watched the top 10 women on American Idol. My list from most favorite to least favorite:
1. Brooke White (score: 8.25) >> She was the best of the night. Well, she picked a great song choice for her and that's a smart thing to do, hehe... :) Someone doesn't need to have a big voice to be a great singer, just like Brooke... ;)
2. Asia'h Epperson (score: 7.5) >> She picked the hardest song amongst all 9 other contestants. She did pretty good actually eventho she lost her voice at one point and had a miking problem. She sang "All By Myself" and I think her version was better than Gina Glocksen's version last season.
3. Ramiele Malubay (score : 7.5) >> Yea, not her best performance, but still, it's a good one I think. She sang "Don't Leave Me This Way" and Vonzell Solomon from season 4 did it better than her.
4. Carly Smithson (score: 7.5) >> Wow, shemust love the song really much! Hmmm, she was panting after her performance and twas pretty good!! :D
5. Kristy Lee Cook (score: 7) >> A lot better than last week and I think it's okay
6. Syesha Mercado (score: 6.75) >> Yea, twas her worst performance. I know she's a great one, but again, a wrong song choice
7. Alaina Whitaker (score : 6.5) >> her last week performance was better
8. Amanda Overmyer (score : 6)
9. Alexandrea Lushington (score: 6) >> A completely wrong choice of song, she's a good singer actually
10. Kady Malloy (score : 5.5) >> Hmm, she gotta prove something. She has been given 2 chances but she blew them away.... :(
Who do I think gonnabe eliminated this week? Hmmm, I gotta say Kady Malloy and Amanda Overmyer. Well, this week for me Alexandrea Lushington is in my bottom two, but I still think she deserves another chance. Last week she was good, this week she just picked a completely wrong choice of song. Both Amanda Overmyer and Kady Malloy haven't showed a good performance while they had been given 2 chances, hmmm.... .

top 10 boys AI season 7
I just watched the 2nd week of American Idol where the top 10 boys performed. This is the list of my favorite from my most fave to least fave:
1. David Archuleta (score: 9.5) >> Wah, he sang "Imagine" and twas superb!! So great!! Eventho I agree with Dian, the improvisation was a bit 'over', but still, it was SO great, the best of this season so far!! Hmmm..... . I had 'goosebump', hmmm... . During the last 4 season, at this point of the competition, he's my first very favorite male contestant! I never liked a male contestant at this intensity before, usually some girls contestants outsang the male contestants but not this season, hmmm... .
2. David Hernandez (score: 8.25)
3. Chikezie Eze (score: 8). He has a great voice. I actually thought he would go last week, but then I'm relieved he's still there, he's great and I like his song, he changed the lyrics a bit and it's fun! hehe
4. David Cook (score: 7.5)
5. Michael Johns (score: 7)
6. Robbie Carrico (score: 6.5)
7. Luke Menard (score: 6.5) >> I think he was not that bad, hmmm....
8. Jason Castro (score: 6) >> I just dun really like him
9. Danny Noriega (score: 6)
10.Jason Yeager (score: 5.5) >> wrong choice of song, he actually has a good voice. However, looking at what happened to Joanne Borgela this week, he is the most vulnerable guy this week
Who do I think will be eliminated? Hmmm, I think Jason Yeager and Danny Noriga
1. David Archuleta (score: 9.5) >> Wah, he sang "Imagine" and twas superb!! So great!!

AI 08 top 24 Result
Okay, the result of American Idol 2008 has been announced, and the first four contestants to leave the show are Garrett Haley, Amy Davis, Joanne Borgella, and Colton Berry. Anyway, my prediction was 25% correct. Actually twas 50% since I wanted to predict Garrett Haley but then because I was a bit confused with some contestants so I wrote Robbie Carrico, hahaha... . Anyway, I have no problem with all four contestants leaving the show, but a bit disappointed seeing Joanne leaving since I think she's a good singer (based on clips of her Hollywood Week and audition). She just picked the wrong song choice, hmmm....

American Idol 7 top 24
Finally this week American Idol 7 starts with the top 24 performances, hehe... :) Overall, well, noone was very outstanding for me, hmmm... . Honestly, noone was just as great as LaKisha Jones when she was on the top 24 last season singing "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going". At that time she was great (twas even her best performance).
However, this season some contestants are actually really great but they just didn't really bring it on, probably because of the theme (60s, hmmm). Overall, I think the boys and the girls are somewhat even (not like last year where the gals were far better than the guys). The gals this season so far are still better than the boys tho, but not that 'far', hehe... ;)
Top 12 Boys
The two best performances were David Archuleta's and Michael Johns' (for me). Some other contestants were overrated I think, named Danny Noriega and Jason Castro. Hmmmm.... . Who I think will be going home? I guess the two contestants who are gonnabe eliminated this week are Robbie Carrico and Luke Mennard, hmmm... .
Top 12 Gals
I think the best two performances were Ramiele Malubay's and Syesha Mercado's. Some other were also good, named Carly Smithson (Simon was rite, she had a lil' trouble with her miking, I dunno why Randy didn't agree with that. Once during her performance she pulled it too far...), Brooke White, and Alaina Whitaker. About Asia'h Epperson's performance, I dunno why but I think twas a bit overrated, hmmm, she's good tho. I think the bottom two gals will be Amy Davis and Kristy Lee Cook.

WeekEnd Story
Arrgghhh, this weekend I can't really enjoy it because I have a lot of assignments to deal with, dang it. I have 2 assignments to submit next Tuesday and another 2 at Thursday, grr.... . SO far I have done the 2 assignments for Tuesday, haha... :) I still need to revise them a bit tho. Btw, lately Bandung is extremely chilly, especially last Friday. Brrr, it was so chilly even at 11 AM!! Wah!!
Btw, last Thursday TARA 2 ended (but still there will be 1 more episode to go, TARA 2: Memories which is gonnabe aired next Thursday). There was a phenomenon on my blog, haha... :) I'll write it later after exercising more advance research (lol).
Anyway, finally now I activate my Facebook account, haha... . At first I don't have the "push" to join Facebook because not so many friends and people in Indonesia use it (just like Myspace). However, after reading all comments inside TARA Forum, I finally have the "push" to join since many racers and friends from other countries use their Facebook Accounts more frequently than Friendster, haha.... :) Okay, so I am now a newbie in Facebook.

TARA 2 Finale
On the last leg of The Amazing Race Asia 2, all teams left the pitstart 12 hours after they reached the pitstop. Marc & Rovilson (MR) were first and they gotta go back to Cape Town. They gotta go to District Six Museum and enter the original name of the District Six as a password on a laptop to retrieve the next clue. A Detour was up next, they gotta choose between SEARCH or ASSEMBLE. In Search they gotta find 3 specific gemstones out of thousands of gemstones. In Assemble they gotta assemble a traditional South African wire-frame radio. At first MR chose Search but then changed Detour to Assemble. Adrian & Collin (AC) chose Search and Pamela & Vanessa (PV) chose Assemble. After the Detour, they gotta go to Green Point Common and score 3 goals.
Then, they went to Atlantis Dunes. They gotta drive a quad-bikes and and find a hidden clue. There were 18 possible places, 17 of them were traps and there were an hourglass in each of the trap. If they found it, they gotta flipped the hourglass and waited until all the sand went down. MR found first but then tried to trick AC by pretending to get 'yielded' by the hourglass. After that, they went to Cape Point to get the next clue. MR made a mistake on Cape Point, they went down instead of went up. There, they found out that they gotta go to the final destination country: Singapore.
As predicted before, the flight from Cape Town to Singapore became an equalizer, haha... . In Singapore, MR managed to pass AC. AC were left behind (eventho Singapore was their homecountry) because they didn't ask their taxi to wait for them. MR arrived first at the Roadblock. In this roadblock that team member must pick flags of countries they had visited and put them in order of their visit. Rovilson did the roadblock (its his turn). Then, PV came. Vanessa did the roadblock. AC then came and Adrian did it. Rovilson and Vanessa had hard time in setting the flags while it was so easy for Adrian. Easily, he managed to pass Rovilson and Vanessa. Shortly after, Vanessa finished the task. After that they gotta dash to the finish line, the Chinese Garden. On the finish line, all eliminated teams (Edwin & Monica, Brett & Kinaryosih, Sophie & Aurelia, Daichi & Sawaka, Henry & Terri, Paula & Natasha, and Ann & Diane) had been waiting and cheering. And the winner of TARA 2 is: Adrian & Collin from Singapore!! Clearly, Pamela & Vanessa were 2nd and Marc & Rovilson were third.
Haha, this was the worst leg for Marc & Rovilson. Third (#3) was their WORST placement on the whole season of TARA 2 and it happened on the last leg! What an irony (usually they were #1 on #2, even they were first EIGHT times, and SEVEN of them were consecutive!!). I think it's destined for them to be #3. I mean, it was all determined by a single roadblock. MR always did the roadblock with a PATTERN : Marc - Rovilson - Marc - Rovilson - and so on. If Rovilson had done the first roadblock, Marc would have been the one who did the last roadblock. Marc is smart on geography and if he had done the roadblock, MR would have won! The only way to change the pattern is by winning the FF. Guess what? Adrian & Collin took the only FF!! Wah!!
FYI : starting TAR 6, a person can only complete 6 roadblocks at maximum
Anyway, the final roadblock was VERY SIMILAR with the final roadblock of TAR 9. Coincidentally, alpha-males teams in both season (Eric & Jeremy, Marc & Rovilson) fell behind because of that roadblock! Whatta irony!! (Eric & Jeremy also got passed by BJ & Tyler on that roadblock, actually Eric & Jeremy were first on the roadblock!!). Hmmm....
Who do I wish to have won TARA 2? Hmm, I dunno if I gotta pick from these top 3, I'm happy if any of them won. But if I can choose from all contestants, I gotta say Paula & Natasha!! hehehe.... :D

Back to Bandung
Haha, now I'm back in Bandung again.
Anyway, finally last Saturday I ate Bakso Cornelan, hehe.... :) I really like it. Actually on Sunday (20/01) evening I went there but it had been sold out! Grrr.... . It is really really delicious, hehe... . The last time I ate it was at this time. Actually on Saturday my friends also asked me to go to Salatiga, but I didn't go. A story about it will be written later, on the private blog... ;)
Sunday was an exhausting day. I got up at 6.15 AM and went to the church for the 7 AM mass liturgy with my mom and my bwo. After that, we had breakfast at Soto Kridosono (Pak Parmo). Then, we went back home, I continued my sleep for 2 hours but unfortunately I had bad dreams, grrr.... . At 12 PM my friend came, then at 1.20 PM we went to Soto Sawah. The last time I ate at Soto Sawah was at this time. Then, we went to Togamas Bookstore (I bought 2 comics and until now I haven't finished reading it, dang, haha). After that we went to Galeria Mall and at 5 PM we went back home. At 7 PM, the electricity went off again! Arrrggghhhh, dang it. PLN Yogyakarta really sucks. I decided to go to Malioboro Mall rather than staying at the dark house, haha... . At 9.30 PM I went back home and at 10.30 PM my parents brought me to Jogjakarta Tugu Railway Station.
At 11 PM Turangga Express arrived at the #3 platform. At 11.10 PM, the train departed (it was on time, nice...). This morning it arrived in Bandung at 6.28 AM, only 9 minutes late from the schedule. Well, I think The Train Company has worked so hard on this, 9 minutes late can be considered as good for trains in Indonesia, rite? hehe... ;) However, I still couldn't sleep well on the train... :(

Jogjakarta ...
Haha, finally now I'm in Jogja. Last Wednesday evening I caught Turangga Express which departed at 7 PM from Bandung. It arrived at 2.20 AM (10 minutes late) at Jogjakarta Tugu Railway Station. Arrgghhh, I couldn't sleep at all during the whole journey, grrr, so uncomfie... :(
Anyway, last Thursday was Chinese New Year. Of course, I got some angpaos. My angpao is never that much, it's pretty much, but not much, haha... LOL. Thursday evening my family and I and some relatives had lunch together at Kedai Tiga Nyonya. Why we chose that restaurant, well, simply because my grandma wanted to eat its 'tahu pong' after reading its ad in a magazine. Later that evening, we had dinner at a new restaurant Gama Candi Seafood. Wah, twas so delicious!! haha... :) Anyway, I ate so much on Thursday, LOL
Then, I watched the eleventh leg of TARA 2. All teams went to South Africa and in the end, Ann & Diane got eliminated because they took a wrong flight (via London) while other teams took the earlier flight (via Frankfurt). South Africa was so stunning!! Great!! :)
Friday afternoon, I hanged out w/ my friends. At 12 PM I picked one of my friend up and went around Jogja to wait for 2 PM when my other friend was free, haha... . Then, we went to Ambarrukmo Plaza. My friend said there was a good movie (Indonesian Movie). I hesitated at first since twas 'Indonesian' movie, haha... . The title was 'XL - ExTra Large'. The movie started at 5 PM while we arrived there at 2.30 PM. So we had time to kill. Since we were hungry then we had meal at Pizza Hut, haha... . At 4.30 PM we left PH and walked to the cinema upstairs. At 6.45 PM the movie ended. Yea, my feeling was right, it was horrendous, so bad, I dun like it. Yea, there were some really funny scenes, but I dun get it at all. The story was pretty shallow, unclear, and weird, haha... :) I score it 2 out of 10... . Then, at 7 PM we went back home. Later on tonight just as usual I went to Malioboro Mall...

my weekend
Huhuhu, I dunno why, my allergy stroke back last week, grrr.... . My body was so itchy and some small red spots appeared on my body... :( Grrr... . I dunno what stimulated it since I didn't eat shrimps nor any kind of seafood. I just ate my ordinary meals in Bandung. Err, then what caused it ya? Then, I bought a anti-histamine which was Xyzal which doesn't cause drowsiness. After consuming it, the itch went away just in hours eventho the spots didn't disappear that quick (it took about 3 days). Phiuhh... . I dunno what happened but now I think I'm fine, hehe...
Anyway, I think God really bless me... :) Thanks God!! Since 2 weeks ago, I had been trying to find a flight to go back to Jogjakarta for Sin Cia (Chinese New Year next Thursday) but guess what?? All flights from Jakarta have been fully booked, and if I still wanna get a seat, the remaining seat is on the higher sub-class, which means more expensive. I contacted Garuda Indonesia, Lion Air, Adam Air, Mandala, etc and all of them offered a Rp 600,000.00 ++ ticket, wah. That's damn too expensive and I gave up (Merpati planned to reopen the Bandung - Jogja route next April, grrr, so long). I already gave up. Guess what? This early February, Jakarta was flooded again!! Wah!! Wow, the new governor who claimed as the 'master' on his campaign, couldn't do anything to prevent it. Huh!! Anyway, back to topic, even Soekarno-Hatta International Airport was closed for several hours due to low visibility and dangerous runway (a 10 cm deep water layered the runways!! wah!!). I think God saves me by not giving me the ticket I want, since if I still go back to Jogja via Jakarta, I would find a big problem there, haha... :) I dun think the problem will have been solved by Wednesday, hmm... . Pathetic...
Then, two days ago, my mum said to me that if I really want to go back to Jogja, then I just should catch a train to savemore much money. Err, I dun really like traveling by train but what the hell, I'll just catch the over-night train so it won't be that uncomfie, hehe... :D. So yesterday I went to Bandung Railway Station and purchased a Turangga Express Executive Class Ticket, hehe... :D So, it's official now that on 6th February 2008 I'm going back to Jogja catching Turangga Express which depart at 7 PM (arriving at 2.10 AM in Jogja based on the schedule). I'm going back to Bandung also catching Turangga Express which departs at 11 PM on Sunday, 10th February evening and arriving at Bandung at 6.17 AM (on schedule) on Monday morning, hehe... :D Btw, yesterday I got my car its annual maintenance, hehe... :)
Anyway, I think God really bless me... :) Thanks God!! Since 2 weeks ago, I had been trying to find a flight to go back to Jogjakarta for Sin Cia (Chinese New Year next Thursday) but guess what?? All flights from Jakarta have been fully booked, and if I still wanna get a seat, the remaining seat is on the higher sub-class, which means more expensive. I contacted Garuda Indonesia, Lion Air, Adam Air, Mandala, etc and all of them offered a Rp 600,000.00 ++ ticket, wah. That's damn too expensive and I gave up (Merpati planned to reopen the Bandung - Jogja route next April, grrr, so long). I already gave up. Guess what? This early February, Jakarta was flooded again!! Wah!! Wow, the new governor who claimed as the 'master' on his campaign, couldn't do anything to prevent it. Huh!! Anyway, back to topic, even Soekarno-Hatta International Airport was closed for several hours due to low visibility and dangerous runway (a 10 cm deep water layered the runways!! wah!!). I think God saves me by not giving me the ticket I want, since if I still go back to Jogja via Jakarta, I would find a big problem there, haha... :) I dun think the problem will have been solved by Wednesday, hmm... . Pathetic...
Then, two days ago, my mum said to me that if I really want to go back to Jogja, then I just should catch a train to save

TARA 2 leg 10
Last night I watched the tenth episode of TARA 2. All teams stayed in Hungary. Paula & Natasha were last on the previous leg and were incur a 'marked for elimination'. Okay, I had a feeling that there wouldn't be any equalizer and could cause the elimination of Paula & Natasha.
Well, then, there was a Fast Forward. The first two teams, Adrian & Collin and Marc & Rovilson, battled for the FF where they gotta count the number of bars on the bridge. Wah, Adrian & Collin did it and won the FF forcing Marc & Rovilson to go back and do the regular tasks. Then, after the FF, there was a YIELD. Marc & Rovilson used their yield power towards Ann & Diane, as Paula & Natasha's request. However, Paula & Natasha still couldn't catch up. In the end, Paula & Natasha got eliminated T.T Arrrggghhhh... . They're my most favorite team and now got eliminated?? Grrr.... . Who should I root for now?
Anyway, I think the downfall of Paula & Natasha was the intersection. They gotta wait for Henry & Terri who were 5 hours behind them doing nothing. Again, well, I think the race was poorly designed. Paula & Natasha were released 2 hours earlier and got a 2 hr penalty, hmm... . Then, one thing that bothers me is the countries they visited. One country for two legs, wah... . That sucks and for me, a lil' bit reducing the essence of TAR, LOL. Anyway, the placement of the equalizer also sucked. Paula & Natasha met the same fate as Edwin & Monica. They were marked for elimination but then didn't have the chance to catch up because of the non-existence of equalizer. Also Sophie & Aurelia, there was for them NO WAY to catch up.
Grrr...
