Drive-in movie theatre

Just watched Aliens in the Attic and G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra in a drive-in movie theatre in the neighbouring state of Ohio yesterday. The entire Schreiber family went and took me there, with two cars for all nine of us.

It was freezing cold when the movie ends at 00.45. The temperature fell to around 19 degrees Celcius, despite now being summer.

Florence and Covington

So far, I've stayed in Jim's place in Covington for three weeks and Kerry's place in Florence for two days.

I like Florence better. There is a more vibrant and lively atmosphere in this city, with the population belonging to a younger age group and the streets more spacious.

Covington is an old city, with old buildings and a population which mostly consists of senior citizens

The new F-word

Fart is the new four-letter F-word.

I love to use that word freely, because despite its bowel associations, it is not a vulgar word...haha.

Fart you.

Indo-lyric: Kau bukan untukku (Sahara)

English translation:

You’re not for me

Everything's been uncovered
the secrets inside you
now I know that your heart
is not for me

It's useless that we
talk about love
if you
always go away from me

Is it wrong for me to
let go of all anxieties
coz I know your true love
is not for me

No matter how big the love anxieties I used to have
now has gone by all wounds

Reff:
Let me go
with the darkness and chill of the night
feel this heartache
that I have to go thru

Let me go
to forget you and kill your love
Oh my dear
it's wrong if I have to hang on

everything's over
all stories between us
you're not for me

Original lyric in Indonesian:

Terungkap sudah semua
Rahasia dalam dirimu
Kini kutahu hatimu
Bukan untukku

Percuma saja kita
Bicara tentang cinta
Bila dirimu
Selalu berpaling dari diriku

Salahkah aku bila
Lepaskan semua resah
Karena kutahu cinta sejatimu
Bukan untukku

Besar resah cinta dulu aku punya
Kini hilang terkikis oleh semua luka

Reff:
Biarkan aku pergi
Bersama malam gelap dan dingin
Rasakan sakit hati
Yang harus aku lalui

Biarkanlah saja aku
Lupakan dirimu bunuh cintamu
Oh Kekasihku
salah bila aku harus bertahan

Usai sudah semua
Cerita antara kita
Kau bukan untukku

Drinking too much soda

Being in America, I drink soda a lot.

Sometimes, I could have as much as four cans of soda a day. A sickening level indeed, that's a level that would provide an alarm for all my fellow Asians.

But apparently, I have little choice, haha. Not if I want to have a taste on my drinks, because soda are priced less expensive than juice drinks.
