Apa yang terjadi jika presiden Bush mengunjungi Australia seharian penuh? Ada istilahnya untuk ini, walau bukan Bush sang presiden melainkan Bush sebagai semak-semak. Bahkan sebagai penutur bahasa Inggris dari Amerika Serikat ada banyak istilah bahasa Inggris Australia yang unik dan sulit untuk dipahami. Bahasa inggris Australia dipenuhi banyak ungkapan yang kadang membuat pendengar seolah seperti “drongo”, belum lagi aksennya. Berikut ini beberapa isltilah Australia yang unik, tentunya ini bukan daftar yang lengkap :

Aussie –an :  Australian

Bail (somebody) up :   menyudutkan seseorang

Bathers  :  pakaian renang

Bush week :  waktu semiggu penuh dimana orang desa datang de kota dan banyak kejadian bodoh terjadi

Cobber : teman

Dag :  orang yang lucu

Kangaroos loose in the top paddock : tidak pintar

Roo : kangguru

XXXX (four X) : sejenis bir yang dibuat di Queensland

Lalu, apa artinya “drongo” ?

Seseorang yang bodoh, kikuk dan memalukan! XP

Australia. I’m not talking about a country here, but a movie! I watched this movie yesterday, with my family.  Honestly, I thought this kind of movie will be make me bored. BUT, now I know that it’s a huge mistake. The movie is really fantastic. Supported by the starring : Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman and David Wenham. If you want to watch this movie, you have to be prepared.  Why? Because it shows around two hours and forty five minutes more or less. That was a really long story.. I didn’t know how I could stand it. Maybe, because Hugh Jackman is really sexy and also cool? So I couldn’t take my eyes off of him. Wkwkwk.. =P

The story is about  a lady named Sarah Ashley (Nicole Kidman) , a duchess from England who

own a farm named Faraway Downs in Australia, helped by a local cowboy by name Drover (Hugh Jackman). Of course there’s a deep in love relationship between them, because in the beginning of the story, Sarah thought that his husband was cheating on her. So she came to Australia. But unluckily, she found that her husband had already dead and  he got the farm as a heritage from him.

When the war was broken, Sarah had to move the cattle through the land of Australia which is really beautiful but also dangerous. And there’s someone named Neil Fletcher (David Wenham), a manager of the station who want to take over Sarah’s farm. Here we goes, all the characters had to do anything to fulfill their ambition and also love.

Really, there’s no regret to watch this movie. Actually, from the story and all of that I should say that this is a best movie I’ve ever watched. Not being hyperbolic, you know. But, It’s really rational and also really cool.

 said that this movie do have a common with Gone With the Wind  and also Cold Mountain because of the background story in this movie is the American War and also a lonely woman. And here is a interesting gossip : Nicole was really want to be the part of this movie and also being so patient that she had a baby during the shoot. Because the shot which was firstly predicted only for 5 months, because of all of the thing became 9 months. Haha,, that’s bad.. However, it is also cool, because the movie meet the successful ending, in the reality and also in the movie.

I always remember

About my only one wish

To keep you always beside me

Meet you everyday in the rain

Until now

Is there me in your heart?

Which is already lost the memory of the past

Lost everything

And leave nothing behind

I’m a Pandora

By name a memory which is sleeping

On the closed book

Which is always keep an eye of you

And hide the breath

To make sure you always smile to the day

I always crying

When the flowers are falling down

Because I feel like I’m watching me

Who slowly trying to forget you

I’m part of you

Just want to come back

To your heart

My eyes are gone from you

Like a broken crystal

But, it’s enough

To keep waiting for you

Who live a life full of light

I always waiting for you in this rain

And keep searching the losing you

I just want to meet you
