Looking for someone you can chat with. Hang on.
You're now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi!
A word of advice: "asl" is boring. Please find something more interesting to talk about!
Stranger: There was once this boy named shitface
Stranger: he was from kuntuckey
Stranger: and he loved turkey
Stranger: one day he was walking down the street
Stranger: and met a man named David
Stranger: David said to him
Stranger: "why is your name Shitface?"
Stranger: shitface replied, "no reason, i decided to call myself that, by the way, can i have your money?"
Stranger: David was a little confused, "sorry what?"
Stranger: "your money? can i have it" Shitface flashed a switchblade
Stranger: "Fuck you shitface." David punched shitface in the face
Stranger: and it turned into shit
Stranger: the end
Stranger: thankyou for listening
You: haha where are u from?
Stranger: Australia
Stranger: yourself?
You: Indonesia
Stranger: ah yeah
Stranger: what is it like over there
You: mild, traffic everywhere
Stranger: ok
Stranger: where abouts in indonesia?
You: jakarta
Stranger: oo pretty place
You: have u been here?
Stranger: no
Stranger: seen pictures
Stranger: that's about it really
Stranger: you ever been to australia?
Stranger: i'm from Melbourne
You: no.
You: but i really want to
Stranger: no offense
You: is it a good place to go?
Stranger: but i don't think i'll like indonesia
Stranger: too humid
You: yeah, even getting hotter
Stranger: than i'll die
Stranger: if it's anything like signapore
Stranger: far far far down south
Stranger: that's a little depressing
Stranger: up
Stranger: australia's got a very very dry heat
Stranger: with very very strange wildlife
Stranger: unfortunately a lot of the national parks have been really..well...made family friendly
Stranger: with handraides, woodern platforms etc
Stranger: it's kinda lame
Stranger: because the sense of loosing yourself in the wilderness is largely lost
Stranger: it's essentially a giant dessert
You: wow
You: let me guess your age
Stranger: that is unless you go to tasmania
Stranger: ok
You: mmm, 17?
Stranger: 19
Stranger: is that bad?
Stranger: how old are you?
You: no, i'm 16
Stranger: oh
Stranger: oh wow
Stranger: so young
Stranger: sorry
Stranger: (admittedly i'm quite immature)
Stranger: you make me feel old
Stranger: :(
Stranger: i just had flashbacks at what i did when i was 16
You: what's wrong with 16?
Stranger: nothing!
Stranger: it was one of the best years so far
Stranger: did absolutely shithouse acedemically
Stranger: but socially it was freaken awesome
You: is that bad talking to older people?
Stranger: no
Stranger: talking to poeple your age is the worst
Stranger: well
Stranger: not worst
Stranger: but you gain the least
Stranger: i find
Stranger: you gain more talking to older people
Stranger: because they have more life experience to share
Stranger: at least that's what older people tell me
You: you're right
Stranger: and it's good talking to younger people
Stranger: because they tell you a lot about yourself
You: aha
Stranger: given that you have a sense of self reflection
You: so?
Stranger: hmm?
You: ok\
Stranger: 16, you'll still be in school year?
You: do you go to college?
You: yes, grade 11
Stranger: oh wow grade 11?
Stranger: i was in grade 10 when i was 16
Stranger: um
Stranger: that makes you a youngling!
Stranger: yes in college
Stranger: Monash University
Stranger: if you've heard of it
You: yes i know
You: i hope i can go there when i graduate
Stranger: hmm
Stranger: what do you plan on taking?
Stranger: course
Stranger: as in
You: bachelor degree
Stranger: of?
Stranger: there's like
Stranger: everything under the sun
Stranger: arts, engineering, visual arts, design, archi, commerce, science, law, medicine
Stranger: ...
You: still confuse
Stranger: well
Stranger: for example
You: being 16 is tough
Stranger: i'm doing a Bachelor of Engineering
You: i can't choose
Stranger: really?
Stranger: umm
Stranger: why not?
You: yes.. because education in indonesia
You: is not like in australia or singapore
Stranger: what is it like?
You: too much subject to learn
You: but we only know all the subjects generally
Stranger: i see
Stranger: so you feel like you're learning a bit about everything
Stranger: but everythign is so very breif
Stranger: so it feels a little pointless
You: yeah, that makes my ideal disappear
Stranger: hmm
Stranger: when i was 16
Stranger: i was doing...
Stranger: English, maths, science, history, geography, latin, art
Stranger: science covered quite a few bits of random stuff from biology, science and chemistry
Stranger: it was all very brief
Stranger: but i guess that was year 10
Stranger: the work was easy
You: actually, i'm about the same with you
Stranger: and it was really to give every student a taste of the subjects that you're to pick for the final years
Stranger: which are geared towards a competition for a government funded univeristy placement
You: wow cool
Stranger: so like
Stranger: final year 12
Stranger: is crazy
Stranger: everyone who's doing 12 are enrolled in a system called VCE, in which everyone is graded with each other, and given a score out of 100
You: is it hard to get university in Au?
Stranger: um
Stranger: no
Stranger: it's quite easy actually
Stranger: given that you work hard
Stranger: but like
You: is there any requirement for international student like me?
Stranger: doing medicine, law requires a ranking of like 98+
Stranger: commerce was like..97 ish?
Stranger: engineering was 93 this year at monash
Stranger: this is only at Monash uni though
You: so i have to take the foundation year first?
Stranger: there are heaps of different universities that intake different rankings
Stranger: um
Stranger: you might
Stranger: i'm not sure
Stranger: your english seems pretty good
Stranger: i guess you might have an entry exam or something
Stranger: or they might have a look at how well you did at highschool
Stranger: i dunno
You: what is entry exam?
Stranger: exam to get into unversity
Stranger: or scholarship
Stranger: but i think it's different from international students
Stranger: you might have to pay more =\
Stranger: currently i dont pay a cent for my univeristy education
You: how to get the scholarship?
Stranger: it's paid by the government until i get a job earning above a certain pay bracket
Stranger: scholarship?
Stranger: um
Stranger: i think you either have to do really well in highschool
Stranger: or you can apply to do one
Stranger: pending on the course that you want to get into?
You: where should i apply?
Stranger: um
Stranger: i dunno
Stranger: depends what you want to do
Stranger: some unversities are better at thing than others
Stranger: i don't know about universiities of other states
Stranger: but in Victoria
You: i have lack of informations about this
Stranger: hmm
Stranger: are there 13 years of highschool? or 12?
You: 12
Stranger: oh
Stranger: hang on
Stranger: brb
Stranger: i have to help my mother with the computer
Stranger: she's so incompetant with it
Stranger: but keep talking
Stranger: i shouldn't be long
You: i choose Science class but still study history
You: ok i'll stay
You: my school is really popular in town
You: today i attended a silver reunion of class '84
You: and it's really fun
You: they can work and have a carrier according to what they like to do
You: one of them is a senior finance manager in World Bank
Stranger: ah yeah cool
Stranger: hmm
Stranger: but
Stranger: i think
Stranger: um
Stranger: are there any good universities around where you're from?
Stranger: because it's quite hard being an international student
You: yes, univ. of indonesia
Stranger: in australia
Stranger: because public transport here is crap
Stranger: and expensive
You: yeah but transportation in Indonesia is crap too
You: but REAL CHEAP... :)
Stranger: haha

Stranger: what time is it over there anyway?
You: 9pm

You: fyi: i'm not a nerd at school
Stranger: haha
Stranger: I WAS!
Stranger: well
Stranger: sort of
You: haha
You: i'm a half maybe
Stranger: well
You: because i care about school
You: but i like to play too
Stranger: with me
Stranger: see
Stranger: i dont get this
Stranger: the stereotypical nerd
Stranger: in my opinion
Stranger: doens't exist
Stranger: just because he does well at school
Stranger: doesn't really make friends at school
Stranger: doesn't mean that he has no friends
Stranger: i was suprised at this guy at highschool
Stranger: he was always alone at highschool
Stranger: or he had like one friend
Stranger: (i went to a all boys school)
Stranger: i remember seeing him once outside of school at a park
Stranger: it was like him
Stranger: and like 7 other girls
Stranger: totally pimping
You: sorry are you a boy or girl?
Stranger: oh lol
Stranger: boy
Stranger: boy boy boy
You: i totally forget
You: hahaha
Stranger: haha
Stranger: i don't think i told you
You: in my school
You: there are less boys
Stranger: i see
You: but sometimes my school is known as
You: a good school
You: with a student fight and seniority
Stranger: ayeah
You: but solidarity is number one
You: lol
You: i guess
Stranger: hmm
Stranger: i was lucky enough to go to a private school
Stranger: catholic private school
You: i'm in public school
You: because it's better here
Stranger: really?
Stranger: often it's the other way around
You: i mean public school (for senior high) is better than private school in Jakarta
Stranger: ah yeah
Stranger: that's odd
Stranger: because often here in melbourne, it's the other way around
You: haha vice versa
Stranger: with an exception for the public elite school
You: i think my school is one of the public elite school
Stranger: haha
Stranger: that's good then!
You: what should i call u? (if i may)
Stranger: Eric
You: ok
Stranger: i'm asian btw
Stranger: Chinese
Stranger: not quite Australian
You: allright
You: there are many chinese too in Indonesia
You: i often meet them in my Taekwondo practice
You: they are hardworker, aren't they?
Stranger: they tend to be
Stranger: but they sometimes suck socially
You: lol
Stranger: no like really
You: yea sometimes
Stranger: if you're studying in Australia
Stranger: you have to make sure you're english is descent
You: why?
Stranger: you get some asians who can't speak english
Stranger: and it's really god damn annoying
Stranger: because you feel sorry for them, having to ask them to repeat what they have to say quite a few times
Stranger: you know what i mean?
You: haha, thank god i've learn English
Stranger: plus
You: yes i do
Stranger: Australians like to say that we're not racist
Stranger: but
Stranger: we are
Stranger: we're racist, just like everyone else
Stranger: but we're also fairly multicultural
Stranger: more often than not
Stranger: people will accept who are you, and won't go out of their way to ruin you
You: wow,, in Indonesia we have an idelogy
Stranger: but if they had a choice between two people
You: "unity in diversity"
Stranger: they would pick one that is more akin to them
Stranger: well
Stranger: hmm
Stranger: we sort of have that ideology
Stranger: but you know
Stranger: it's an idea
Stranger: it's like an ideal that everyone follows
You: do you follow?
Stranger: but in reality, there are racist unspoke thoughts and mutual agreements
Stranger: oh yeah
Stranger: basic australian thing
Stranger: if you don't bother me, i won't bother you
You: ok
Stranger: and more often than not, it takes far too much effort to actually care
Stranger: i take the laziest option =)
Stranger: then again
Stranger: i'm fairly damn cynical
You: we have a different culture..
Stranger: we're from different parts of the world
Stranger: but
Stranger: you know
Stranger: don't judge a culture through one pair of eyes
Stranger: culture must be experienced
Stranger: because more often than not
You: i never judge actually, i just do like
You: taking the good part, throw the bad part, create a new one
Stranger: culture is essentially a set of unwritten and unspoken rules
You: yeah it's intangible
Stranger: are you a religious man?
Stranger: what is your name anyway?
Stranger: if you don't mind me asking?
You: not really,, but i believe in God
Stranger: so
Stranger: er
Stranger: sort of?
Stranger: catholic?
You: aswita(see my msn a.sweet@.. lol)
Stranger: haha i see, that's a pretty awesome name
You: haha thanks
