Charlie Bone and the Time Twister



The second book (again thanks to my friend for lending me the book) :D

After last semester in Bloor's Academy, saving Emma Tolly, this semester Charlie and his friends gone through more life threatening adventure.
This time Charlie need to save his 11 years old great grand uncle who came to the present using a time twister.

This second book is better then the first one. Well done to Jenny Nimmo.

Midnight for Charlie Brown


Borrowed the book from a friend.... Thanks Lika, it's a nice book :-)*
Wonder if the English one could be a lot more interesting than the translated one (0.o)

The whole strory is nice, as expected. Full of adventure, slow motion to the climax, no surprise up to the climax. The ending of Charlie Bone in this book really satisfiying.

If you are familiar with Harry Potter, this would be an alternative.

As you might guess, Charlie Bone is just an average 10 years old boy, suddenly got a supernatural ability (just call him 'gifted'). His ability is to hear voices in pictures (as if we are watching a movie). And because of one picture of a man with his baby girl, Charlie's life changed. He felt like he needed to help the man and his girl in the picture. And because of that, Charlie and his friends, were facing dangerous adventure, against conspiracy of his own family. Plus he was sent to the Bloor's academy, where 9 other gifted boys and girls all stay together.   

Great adventure, the ending made me wonder of the next book gonna be (^_^) 

Happy Reading.

Dogger the Dog

Tomorrow is my friend's birthday, Nancy.
Here is Nancy and me :)


This year, I decided to give her a birthday present, hand made by me :)
I bought some yarns
And of course Dacron for filling

Working with the pattern for 3 days, and ... voila, the result

Look cute eh :D
Got the pattern from a crochet book by Arie Alhabsyi.

Why Dogger the Dog, because Nancy is a dog lover and she was born in the year of dog (according to the Chinese calendar).

Hope you like it Dear ... XO

PMS...???...NO PROBLEM :)

Just wanna share my experience on this.

PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome), for some woman the symptoms are quite annoying and discomforting, but for others it could be very painful. Can be vary from woman to woman and from cycle to cycle. Not only physical (uncomfortable symptoms) but also psychological. Pain all around tummy, breast tenderness, headache, insomnia, mood swing, etc. etc.

I used to have most of the symptoms, 3 days prior are usually the worst. Combine with stress or depression, it get worsen.
But now, I'm free from some of the symptoms.
Some simple ways are:
  • Free myself from stress and any depression. How? Everybody needs to have a hobby. Now, instead of waiting till I have spare time, I spare some of my time for my hobby :)
  • You are what you eat. So true. Manage a healthy diet, gets me to a healthier life.
  • Exercise. I do jogging at least 5 days in a week, for a least 15 minutes.
  • And basically I don't smoke, don't drink coffee, rarely stay up late (get enough rest).
Try it and have a life you can enjoy (^_^)

Bus or Train ???

I always take bus all this time, and....... Why not try something new :D
I tried to take train during this few weeks.
The result was not so bad.
Except once, when the train was half an hour delayed. And the passengers was so full, made a woman fell from the train to the platform (quite horrific).
I didn't really see what caused the accident, what I did notice was people were talking about what happened without doing anything.
So, I just left the train and tried to calm her down, she seemed a little shock. Poor lady. Good thing she was not injured.

Tried bus and train during rush hours, and the conclusion is : Train is a lot better (we had commuter line to serve Jakarta and supporting cities around)
Few reasons why Train is better:
  • The air conditioner is better than bus
  • They have special train for female (pretty comfy)
  • At least they have schedule
  • No traffic jam (means faster)
Still at the end of the day, whatever transportation facility we take, it will always be nice as long as we enjoy the ride.

Happy riding (^_^)

Pauli Test

Well, for me the test is rather "annoying" :(
First they would give me a big size (A3 size) of paper fill with numbers from 0 to 9. Full of numbers on both side (o.O)
Then, they would ask me to sum each number with the following number in one column, and if the result is more than 9, I need to write down only the last digit.
It shall be done within 1 hour, I said WHAT !!!!
During the test the psychologist would give extra commands, such as giving underlines after specific time.
The test has almost the same rule with Kraepelin test, with slightly different additional commands during test.
Still, both are quite annoying :(
Make sure you are in good condition during the test....
I would think that the test really about knowing one's commitment, endurance, and consistency. At least that's how I felt.
