I was talking to my mom on the phone about her plan to come to sydney and canberra and to visit me in brisbane. it goes like this:
Mom: Okay then! so what we do is you come to canberra from brisbane and meet me and your dad in canberra and then we will go to sydney together!
Me: Mom, if we meet up in Canberra and then go to Sydney from Canberra it will be like, meeting in Bandung and then from there going to Jakarta while we both gonna land in Jakarta in the first place!
another case:
Mom: What about.. you come down to sydney and then we'll go to brisbane while your dad have meting in canberra? i wanna have a look around your university. there's not much traffic jam in australia, right? not like in Jakarta?
Me: Mom.. Brisbane - Sydney is like.. Jakarta - Bali, yeah we can do a one day tour but its not really a good idea, i think.
Mom: Ah! i thought its like Jakarta - Bogor, an hour drive away!
and a facebook chat with my brother
My brother: What are you doing?
Me: Listening to Umalali
My brother: Who's that?
Me: A singer. from Garifuna ethnic group
My brother: oooooo..
Me: You know?
My brother: No
Me: Garifuna is the ethnic group, they live in Central America. You know where is the Caribbean?
My brother: pirates of the caribbean? Yes i know
Me: where?
My brother: Vietnam?
Me: HAHAHAHAHA.
and an MSN conversation with a friend
My Friend: Heard you're going to continue your study in Australia?
Me: yep
My friend: Where? in Sydney? Melbourne?
Me: nope, Brisbane.
My Friend: Why Brisbane?
Me: Well... its in Queensland, where the Great Barrier Reef are.. sooo.. i suppose i can go there more often than if i am in Sydney, no? suppose to be the closest city to the GBR and its a good University.
* which apparently was a wrong assumption. when i finally google earth UQ and Brisbane, i was almost shock to find out that it was not on the coast! should probably go to Wollongong instead? or Waikato altogether *
another conversation with my sister, have nothing to do with geography
My sister: Does shark make any sound?
Me: I dunno. but i know whale and dolphin does
My sister: what about (she mentioned another animals, i cant remember which one but i do remember that i dont know the answer, until after several question she asked which i still cant answer, she asked..) turtle? does they make any sound?
Me: (start to get pissed off at my own stupidity) I dunno, did they have ears?
