Hello people,
I am Ngacier, well it is not my real name, but I want to keep myself in some level of anonymity if that's ok for y'all, and My English sucks at times so for those of you who only speaks English bare with me, I will write some blog in Indonesian if I'm lazy.
I am an Indonesian who's studying Chemical Engineering in Texas A&M University, sounds pretty nasty huh... well .. shortly (next December) I will end my suffering by getting a bachelor degree :).
What do I love to do? hmmmm well I love listening to a wide variety of music... been digging Jazz, Indie, Prog Rock, deep house and of course Indonesian music. I am also sport show addict even though I am very small, unmuscular and nerd looking :D :D and oh yeah, I love to drive out of town!!! Especially ever since I live in this conservative hell hole named College Station ;)
In my blog I'm going to put a section about my latest addiction, It is a PC game named Championship Manager 4. For those of you who never heard anything about it, it is a game where you will get to be soccer team manager in a very realistic environment. Last couple of days I've been managing an Italian lower division club named Padova. I brought the club from all the way down in Serie C1/A up to Serie A. It is almost halfway thru the season and Padova is currently on 15th place out of 18 teams, which means it's in degradation zone. In spite of that, my team has a knack of upsetting the Serie A giants; Padova beat AC Milan and AS Roma couple weeks ago despite being bombarded by the big boys. I will keep all of you updated about my team's progress if anyone of you cares :P
I have an interesting story, a couple days ago, Radiohead started selling live tickets for their 2nd leg American tour. I have been a fan of them since their very early days. I was in junior high back when "Creep" hit Indonesia radio stations and that song really struck me, It's awesome, their energy was second to none. OK back to topic, so Me and S decided to buy the tickets for October 1st concert in Woodlands (Houston Suburb). We were going to buy about 10 tickets! No No we were not going to scalp, there's actually another 8 friends of us who wanted to see the band. We did actually buy some from Ticketmaster right when it's on sale (noon). You know what? we only got tickets for section QQ (2 seats) and SS (4 seats), damn Scalpers !!!
OK so we determined to get better seats than what we got in TM, there's another Radiohead ticketing website named Waste. They were going to sell the tickets 2 days after TM, but they did not actually set the starting time. This made things interesting, because me and S had to wait in front of PC and keep refreshing their homepage for whole day in case suddenly waste start selling the tickets. The fact that Waste does not have a strong server made things worse. After couple of hours of frustation refreshing this damn website, S finally managed to get 4 pit tickets !!! wowww that's awesome, because Waste was actually selling the tickets for 5 minutes and start selling again 2 hours after without having any pit tickets left..... so here we are, ready to watch Radiohead from a couple of meters away (hey it's still 3 months and I'm fired up already!!!!)
