ACT !

Careful, Folks

2012-02-01T17:56:00.000+07:00

Let me tell you that today had been a harsh day for almost all FEUI's students because we are all waiting for the online registration system to open. To make it short, an unexpected error incurred so that today's registration has to be cancelled and postponed. That news really pissed off lots of my friends. After they knew about it, they started complaining, cursing, making fun of, and saying bad things to the operator of FEUI's online registration system on twitter.

Pathetic. Is it true that many people only remember bad things done by others instead of remembering the good ones? I hope not. I, as one of the student, think that we should be thankful for the information. At least, they gave us certainty of when the registration will be opened. Moreover, this is not the only information given by the operator, right? Back in the days when we are still in our study term, this operator tweeted about class cancellation and many other useful information. Now, when the news pissed them off instead of giving merits to them, they started talk about craps that might (high possibility though) hurt the operator. It's shameful. I'm not even sure that they thanked the operator when they received 'good news'.

I believe that hurting other people does not necessarily involve physical contacts. Sometimes, the pain caused by non-physical scars are harder to heal, especially those that comes from offensive words or sayings; that is why a wise man said "your tongue might be sharper than swords". Nowadays, when most people are saying things through social media or other internet application, I think we should revise the proverb to, "your tweets/stats/posts might be sharper than swords." It can hurt people, so be careful.

Aww Man!

This holiday, as many other holiday I had, could not be fully considered as a holiday after all. I have four weeks of holiday, in the first two weeks I was very busy with the Try Out Organized by FEUI (TROFI) things because I was the head of ticketing division and it was a very crucial time since I had to forecast the usage of chairs, air conditioners, questions sheets, etc based on the number of participants. Now and next week (which is the third and fourth week of my holiday) I am pretty busy collecting letters and certificates necessary for my application in an exchange program (wish me luck folks, haha >.<). Therefore, I am abandoning one important thing I have to fulfill in this holiday : I HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO DRIVE A CAR! Man, hopefully I can do it next week. Four-days full of practices, please!

Hallo teman-teman!

Berhubung gue sebenernya sangat ingin menulis dengan serius untuk post ini tapi gue tidak punya banyak waktu (haha), jadi I'll make it really quick :D

Kemarin karena satu dan lain hal, gue harus pergi dari rumah ke UI Salemba, lalu UI Depok, lalu baru pulang lagi. Btw, gue sendirian looh, hihi. Awalnya males sih, tapi biasanya melakukan perjalanan sendirian itu memberi lebih banyak pengalaman yang seru dan tak terlupakan, jadi gue nikmatin aja :) Nah, dalam perjalanan kemarin, gue merasakan naik berbagai kendaraan dalam satu hari loh! That's what makes it special, haha.

Angkot - Dari rumah menuju shelter transjakarta, gue naik angkot bareng adik gue, Nca, yang mau berangkat sekolah. Angkot ini sebenernya kendaraan yang cukup nyaman, tapi masalah ngetemnya itu loh, kadang suka lama. Terus angkot juga suka berhenti nungguin orang padahal orang yang udah ditungguin ga berniat naik (ini paling ngeselin). Tapi keuntungannya, kalo naik angkot kita bisa berhenti dimana aja yang kita mau :D

Transjakarta - Orang biasanya nyebut ini 'busway' tapi kalo busway kan jalanannya, haha :P Gue naik ini untuk sampai ke UI Salemba. Sebenernya gue agak jarang naik kendaraan yang satu ini. Waktu masih SMA, gue inget punya pengalaman buruk naik Transjakarta karena itu lagi jam pulang kantor, alhasil Transjakarta-nya penuh banget dan antriannya pun sangat panjang. Tapi untungnya, kemarin Transjakarta-nya datang dengan sangat cepat, sekitar lima detik setelah gue beli tiket, dan Transjakarta-nya kosong. Kalau bisa begitu setiap hari dan setiap waktu, pasti Tranjakarta jadi kendaraan yang nyaman banget buat bepergian :)

Ojek - Setelah beres urusan di UI Salemba, gue harus naik kereta (karena itu paling cepet), dan menuju Stasiun Cikini. Dari UI Salemba ke Cikini, sebenernya gue bisa naik bajaj atau ojek, tapi karena kemarin gue buru-buru akhirnya gue naik ojek. Keuntungan naik ojek adalah kita bisa jadi sangat cepat karena naik motor yang bisa nyelip-nyelip di jalanan macet. Tapi, kadang keamanan jadi nilai minus kendaraan ini, penumpang sering nggak pakai helm dan tukang ojek tertentu kadang bawa motornya sambil ngebut.

Kereta Api - Kalo ini sih kendaraan gue sehari-hari ke kampus UI Depok, hehe. Sebenernya kereta adalah kendaraan yang sangat nyaman, terutama kalau naik Commuter Line (Kereta AC) dan di waktu yang tepat. Selain itu, naik kereta juga sangat cepat loh! Dari Cikini ke Depok aja gue cuma menghabiskan waktu sekitar 30 menit :D Ohiya, satu hal lagi yang bikin gue terpana adalah stasiun Cikini (gue baru pertama kali kesana), stasiunnya ternyata gede banget, lengkap dengan eskalator dan berbagai plang jalur kereta dan tujuannya. Hampir mirip dengan subway station di luar negeri deh! Tapi yah, seperti biasa, kekurangannya adalah fasilitasnya yang kurang terawat, keramiknya yang jadul, dan banyaknya peminta-minta, orang jualan, dan preman-preman jalanan. Sayang banget.

Mobil Pick-Up - Nah yang ini ceritanya seru deh, jadi gue mau ngembaliin jakun temen gue. Terus akhirnya gue janjian kan ketemu sama dia. Sambil sms-an, gue minta anter ke gedung PPSI (gedung deket rektorat) buat perpanjang password SSO karena dia bilang dia bawa mobil. Eh gataunya temen gue ini bawa mobil Pick-Up karena lagi ada acara gitu, haha. Akhirnya gue dianter dan ditungguin di gedung PPSI naik mobil Pick-Up :D (Gue duduk di depan sh, bukan di bagian yang terbuka-nya karena aneh aja kan naik gituan di kampus, eh tapi gue pernah loh naik mobil pickup di bagian belakang dan menempuh jalanan curam yang hampir 90 derajat, haha - but it's another story :P)

Udah deh sampai situ aja cerita gue kemarin, sebenernya waktu pulang gue naik motor dianter temen sampai stasiun, lalu naik kereta, lalu naik angkot. Tapi itu semua udah ter-cover lah ya di cerita di atas. Well, sebenernya gue hampir mau naik Kopaja loh untuk melengkapi kisah gue hari itu, tapi karena udah malem dan Kopaja-nya penuh, jadi gue males, haha.

Okedeh, gotta rush nih, have a nice weekend guys, dan semoga kalian semakin suka dan menikmati perjalanan-sendiri kalian yaa haha :D

Wednesday Night

2012-01-25T23:17:00.000+07:00

Hello folks!

Here's the thing. This Sunday will be the D day of FEUI's Try Out, TROFI (Try Out Organized By FEUI). It is actually my first time serving in this kind of event in FEUI. Well not actually my first time, though, but this is the first time I am getting more involved in this kind of committee. You know, I have always been this kind of social-guy in my campus. I usually work with so-called social events, in wide range of variations. But this one is a profit-oriented one, and I am the head of ticketing division (usually, I only work as staff when I am joining this kind of committees). What has been going on in my mind for this past two weeks of holiday is only ticket sales, ticket sales, and on. Only for your information, last year's TROFI was not going on pretty well because the participants were only hundreds (as far as I knew). But alhamdulillah, my last calculation for the tickets sold today has reached the number of 1000 participants, plus about 400 participants registered via text messages. I am relieved. Still have a long way to go, though, I hope there will be about 500 people buy the tickets on the spot :) Anyway, I got a good lesson from this committe. I like how FEUI students are so aware of their customers. My friend, who is a finance head, is actually really care about the vendors' satisfaction levels. She worked so hard and persuade everyone in the team to be aware of this issue. And I think I should also take this kind of thing more into consideration in handling participants who buy the tickets, gotta work hard and be patient, I suppose :)

Change of topic, my blackberry trackball had been broke down until I had it repaired this noon. It was not so long, so I think my laziness has actually killing myself slowly, silently. Because you know what? I think my thumb nail was getting wider and shorter (not the type of nails women would like to have, haha), and I assume that this happens because I have to scroll hard in order to make my trackball made its moves. Pretty weird, yes. But thank God now it's as smooth as a new one :) (It is a new one because I have to replace it, haha).

Okay then, I can't believe it's already a quarter past 11 in the evening. Gotta jump to bed real soon because tomorrow I'll be teaching at 7 o'clock. Don't wanna make my student think that I am such a lazy teacher coming late to school, haha. (Well, I have been quite good dealing with this problem recently, though :P -- by leaving home earlier than I usually was, of course). Bye and have a nice, relaxing sleep!

Mama Said Home Is Where The Heart Is :)

2012-01-21T22:51:00.000+07:00

So, judul dari post ini gue ambil dari lirik lagu milik Lady Antebellum, yang judulnya "Home Is Where The Heart Is". Sebenernya gue kepikiran aja untuk nulis ini karena belakangan ini I have been having such a huge urge to get home as soon as possible. Padahal, biasanya gue ini anak yang pergi pagi pulang malem, jarang banget ada di rumah. Tapi, liburan kali ini gue malah males pergi ke kampus ataupun tempat lainnya, kalaupun terpaksa pergi, gue akan immediately go back home after I have finished all my errands.

Kalau berdasarkan pengertian umum, rumah adalah tempat dimana manusia atau makhluk hidup lain bertempat tinggal. Rumah berfungsi sebagai shelter alias tempat berlindung, dan merupakan salah satu kebutuhan pokok makhluk hidup (terutama manusia). Kalau mau coba pakai bahasa blogger yang kocak macam Kak Fajar (kakaknya Kak Ichsan yang gue ga kenal tapi suka gue baca blognya, haha), mungkin rumah bisa diartikan sebagai tempat dimana kita bisa BAB dengan tenang. Kalau menurut gue sendiri, pengertian rumah adalah tempat dimana kita bisa santai, bisa merasakan cinta dan kasih sayang dari keluarga kita. For me, the most important element of a home is not the bulding, but the family inside.

Alhamdulillah, gue bersyukur sama Allah karena sampai saat ini gue bisa merasakan rumah yang lebih dari cukup. Bangunannya lumayan lah, walaupun udah agak tua. Keluarga di rumah juga selalu menyambut gue dengan hangat walaupun gue suka pulang malem, selalu bukain pintu, bahkan ayah dan ibu sering nggak tidur kalau gue pulang malemnya keterlaluan, kayak wakytu nonton JGTC dan baru pulang jam 1 pagi, haha anak macam apa gue ini :P Selain itu, rumah gue ini tempat yang ramai, selain anak orang tua gue yang banyak, di rumah gue juga ada sepupu-sepupu gue. Ini bikin gue terbiasa dengan keramaian. Bagus sih, lagian bikin gue berjiwa muda juga karena kebanyakan dari mereka ya anak-anak kecil :)

Nah, buat kalian yang jarang ada di rumah, cobalah untuk sesekali lebih menikmati dan mensyukuri rumah milik kalian. Ingat, jangan hanya dinilai dari fisiknya ya, karena banyak juga rumah yang besar tapi isi rumahnya selalu sibuk, bahkan bisa nggak ketemu walaupun mereka tidur di bawah satu atap. Di sisi lain, ada aja rumah-rumah saudara kita yang lokasinya di bawah kolong jembatan, di pinggir rel kereta api, di sisi sungai yang selalu banjir tiap hujan deras, tetapi mungkin keluarga di dalamnya justru lebih harmonis dan saling mengasihi satu sama lain.

"A house is made of walls and beams; a home is built with love and dreams."

Okay then, goodnight and have a nice sleep at your very own home, fellas :)

Biro MTI BPM FEUI 2011

2012-01-21T00:35:00.000+07:00

Saya baru saja menyelesaikan Laporan Pertanggungjawaban (LPJ) BPM FEUI 2011, khususnya untuk Biro yang saya pimpin selama satu periode kepengurusan ini. Biro yang sangat saya cintai, sebuah tim yang saya yakin adalah yang terbaik sepanjang perjalanan saya dalam organisasi, sebuah keluarga yang sangat saya syukuri.

Biro Media, Teknologi, dan Informasi adalah sebuah Biro yang barutahun lalu ada di BPM FEUI 2011. Sebelumnya, hanya ada komisi-komisi dan belum ada supporting system seperti kami di BPM FEUI. Saya, ya, secara kebetulan sayalah yang terpilih menjadi ketua biro ini. Aneh bukan? Seorang mahasiswa tingkat awal yang umumnya hanya akan menjadi staf, tiba-tiba diberi amanah untuk menjadi ketua biro. Awalnya saya ragu, mungkinkan saya yang masih daun muda berkecimpung sebagai BPH di organisasi fakultas? Ah, tdak tahu, tetapi ini sebuah kesempatan hebat, saya pikir.

Tentu saya tidak percaya diri kalau hanya sendiri di jajaran BPH yang umumnya adalah mahasiswa angkatan 2008 dan 2009. Tentu saya membutuhkan seorang partner dalam menjalani amanah ini. Aulia Nabila, entah dari mana awalnya saya memikirkan nama itu. Seorang teman yang merupakan anak dari teman ibu saya, dan teman ayah saya. Lucu ya, ibu kami satu universitas, ayah kami satu universitas, dan kamu satu universitas juga. Dia inilah anak yang semenjak saya masih Ospek, selalu ditanyai oleh ibu saya, "Dek, kamu kenal nggak anaknya Tante Ria yang namanya Bella?". Saat itu tanpa pikir panjang saya mengajaknya untuk bergabung, menjadi wakil ketua biro yang hebat ini.

Setelah kami menjalani rapat-rapat terkait grand design BPM FEUI 2011, akhirnya tiba masa untuk melakukan open recruitment untuk staf. Setelah proses seleksi berkas dan wawancara, akhirnya saya menemukan lima orang ini. Semuanya laki-laki. Mereka inilah yang paling "pasti", pas di hati. Adalah Evan, Veto, Adit, Andre, dan Bhayu namanya.

Evan dan Veto, sebelumnya saya tidak pernah mengenal mereka, walaupun mereka adalah teman seangkatan saya. Evan berpostur tinggi, tetapi saya melihat dia tidak terlalu percaya diri dan agak nervous ketika diwawancarai. Tapi kemampuannya mengelola website mengatakan bahwa orang inilah yang saya butuhkan dalam tim ini. Veto, ketika itu bukan saya yang mewawancarainya tetapi Kak Vino. Veto adalah orang yang berbakat, memiliki pengalaman sebagai koordinator Mading Asrama. Wah hebat, saya pikir. Jadilah dia juga tergabung dalam tim ini.

Adit, sebelumnya saya pernah mengenal dia. Seorang anak yang bilang "Lo sok kenal banget sih jadi orang". Dia teman satu sekolah Bela dan sepertinya anak ini seru, saya pikir. Itulah alasan saya memilih dia, sebagai staf pemberi semangat dan kreativitas. Bhayu, mantan mahasiswa Fisika ITB 2008, orang yang pernah saya tanyai, "Eh lo dulunya anak ITB ya? Lo kidal ya?" di kelas PA. Dan dia menjawab dengan sangat cool dan kalem. Like A Boss. Tipe orang yang saya pikir tidak akan pernah dekat dengan saya. Andre, kalau yang satu ini saya cukup kenal baik. Tentu karena dia satu kelompok OPK dengan saya, seorang anak yang mudah bergaul dan sangat menyukai jurnalistik serta kebudayaan Indonesia.

Sejak pleno awal, saya sudah bisa merasakan kebersamaan tim ini karena orang-orang di dalamnya begitu cocok satu sama lain. Kami semua suka bercanda, yah walaupun pada akhirnya saya dan Bella yang biasanya di-bully oleh para laki-laki. Selama hampir satu tahun bersama, kami jadi semakin tahu sifat masing-masing. Bagaimana Andre ternyata bisa akting menangis, meniru suara pelaku kriminal di acara investigasi, pintar menjiplak gaya bicara Jeremy Teti, dan hafal lagu Que Sera-Sera. Bagaimana Adit dan Bhayu seringkali bertengkar ketika rapat. Bagaimana Bhayu yang suka 9gag sering bergaya Like A Boss, tapi juga sering galau di twitter di saat yang bersamaan. Adit yang selalu bercanda, yang bisa meniru gaya British dosen, bersahabat dengan Ibu Cintavhati, dan selalu bangga dengan candaan 'sabuk penyaman'-nya. Veto yang selalu galau untuk menjadi seorang pria sejati dan sibuk mencari pendamping hidup, dan Evan si anak Riau yang gaul dan kehilangan Jazz-nya yang sudah dijual. Bella yang ternyata penggemar berat Glee dan acara-acara serial TV lainnya dan doyan mantengin internet terutama twitter.

Selama sekitar satu periode bersama, saya menyadari betapa kami semua telah bekerja dengan sangat keras untuk mencapai target proker-proker kami. Alhamdulillah, sebagian besar proker kami berjalan dengan sangat baik. Hal yang saya sukai dari tim ini adalah, hasil kerja kami yang baik bukan dihasilkan dari kinerja individu yang memuaskan, tetapi dari kerjasama tim yang sangat membanggakan. Tiap program yang kami miliki selalu dikerjakan bersama, hingga pada akhirnya pencapaian kami selalu disyukuri sebagai buah kerjasama. Selain itu, setiap perjalanan selalu kami lalui dengan penuh canda tawa, membuat tiap langkahnya menjadi ringan namun bermakna.

Saya ingat ketika Adit menyembunyikan handphone saya ketika rapat di suatu malam. Saya ingat bagaimana saya menangis di depan Adit di stasiun. Saya ingat bagaimana saya berlari ke sekre BPM karena menyangka handphone saya tertinggal, padahal Bhayu menelepon Adit karena jaketnyalah yang tertinggal. Saya ingat ketika Evan mengantar saya ke rumah setelah rapat pleno hingga larut. Saya ingat wajah Andre yang berlinang air mata, suaranya yang berat, maupun suaranya yang seperti orang tercekik. Saya ingat ketika saya menyuruh Veto duduk jauh-jauh dari perempuan. Saya ingat ketika kami menyanyikan lagu Que Sera-Sera yang dituliskan Andre di papan tulis BPM. Saya harap saya akan mengingat semuanya, kenangan bersama mereka. Tentu saja, saya masih ingat masa ketika rapat kami terakhir di Kafe, membicarakan bagaimana surprise drama yang akan kami berikan ketika Pleno Akhir.

Di pleno akhir, kami merencanakan sebuah surprise drama untuk fungsionaris lainnya. Tak disangka, ternyata banyak yang tertipu oleh tindakan usil kami. Ya, tapi ada sesuatu yang menjadi lebih surprise ketika itu. Kami dianugerahi Best of Komisi/Biro, yang berarti kami adalah The Best Team dalam kepengurusan ini. Subhanallah, saya sangat bersyukur. Kami tidak pernah sebelumnya berpikir akan memenangkan ini, bahkan tidak terlintas bahwa penghargaan seperti ini akan ada. But well, I think they deserve it :)

Perjalanan selama satu tahun bersama BPM FEUI, terutama bersama Biro MTI telah menjadi sebuah pengalaman hidup yang sangat berharga bagi saya. Dalam tim ini saya belajar untuk memimpin sebuah tim, menghargai each and every person in it, dan tentunya mendapatkan sahabat-sahabat yang sangat spesial dan kenangan tak tergantikan. Saya yakin, setelah ini saya tidak akan melihat Bela, Andre, Adit, Bhayu, Veto, dan Evan dengan pandangan yang sama lagi, karena mereka telah memiliki tempat spesial di hati saya, sebagai TIM MTI.

Alhamulillah, saya sangat bersyukur karena Allah telah memberi saya kesempatan untuk ini. MTI, sejauh ini, adalah tim terbaik yang pernah saya miliki. I swear, I'm not lying, they really are the best team ever. Saya harap mereka juga mendapatkan pengalaman berarti sebagai MTI, dan saya berdoa agar mereka senantiasa mendapatkan kesuksesan dalam kehidupan dunia dan akhiratnya. Amin.

Terimakasih banyak MTI, you guys have given me one of the best years I've ever had in my life :)

BEST TEAM EVER

The Invisible Detective : The Faces of Evil

2012-01-17T23:16:00.001+07:00

Hi there, it's been a while, hasn't it? :)

Sorry for not being able to write these past months, I had been quite busy with stuffs and 9gag, haha. Ever wonder why I could write today? Of course because IT IS HOLIDAAY folks, haha :D

So today I'm gonna talk about a book I have just finished reading. It is a pocketbook entitled 'Invisible Detective' by Justin Richards. Only by seeing the title, you would surely certain that it's about detective. Well, you're just slightly wrong, because it's about detectives. It was published by a publisher in UK during 2004. So yes, it is not a new book, not for me either. My grandpa gave this book when I was in Junior High School, if I'm not mistaken. But as I stated in my first sentence, I have just finished it a moment ago. It is actually because I found it very hard to read. When I was in the Middle School, there were too many words I had never recognized before. For now, I still have several words I got to look up to know the meaning, but at least they were less than years ago.

This book tells about a group of children named "Cannoniers" who set up a so called 'illusion' to make a famous detective, Brandon Lake, exists. The head of this teenagers' group is a boy, Art Drake. But what interesting about this book is that it does not only talk about The Cannoniers who existed in London early in 1937, it also tells about Arthur Drake, Art's grandson, who has the same detective instinct and capacity as his Grandpa. Each chapter of this book contains the series of events happened in 1937 and now -- probably in 2004, according to the release of this book, and in the late chapters, the story began to mix up, so that we could find out the link between what had happened in 1930s and the events in 2000s.

In general, I find the author is really good in creating the plot and how he separate the chapters. He made it so well that I would always want to know what will happen to both sides of Art and Arthur who actually face different situations and troubles. I also find it sort of cool to read it because it has several phrases which I believe are in British. Well, even though I think it is only a children's book, but it is way better than reading other english novels of mine such as High School Musical and Hannah Montana, which actually are only the book versions of the movies. Haha.

Anyway, change of topic, I have just gained my latest index, the Cost Accounting subject, and it pretty much ruined my GPA :( So sad but I just have to get through it and pray that other subjects will make it up, amiin :)

Alright then, goodnight and have a great holiday :D

Hunter X Hunter Comes Back!

2011-09-24T15:51:00.000+07:00

Heyho guys, maybe this is kinda inappropriate for me to post something like this in the middle of doing my assignment, haha. But I have this calling, haha!

So here's the trailer, guys. For you who's longing for them for quite a long time (it's almost 10 years since their last appearance in 2011), it's the time to celebrate their comeback! :D It will be aired on October 2th in NihonTV. But there's one bad news here, actually this is a remake series, so don't expect to get a brand-new storyline from the chimera ant series. Pretty sad, huh?

Targets! Targets!

2011-09-22T00:23:00.001+07:00

Assalamualaikum wr. wb.

Halo teman! :)

Hari ini gue ga kuliah loh :D Yes, thursday is officially my holiday this semester! Hahahaha :D Eh gue seneng banget loh, karena jarang-jarang dalam satu minggu ada hari yang bener-bener libur, free of lecture and free of tutorial ;)

Walaupun nampaknya teteeeup aja kadang ada hal yang mengharuskan gue ke kampus, contohnya, sebenernya besok gue ada rapat PremIIIere dan ada BPM Bersih tapi supermales haha, gue memutuskan untuk stay di rumah aja buat ngerjain beberapa hal dan belajar mikro (asik) :P

So, hari ini gue free untuk bisa ngenet sampai malem, hahaha. Btw, sebenernya gue mau curhat dikit nih, belakangan ini my life is full of television! :( Duh, parahnyaa, tiap hari kerjanya mantengin America's Next Top Model, Glee, Hell's Kitchen, and so on. Intinya, Star World has given colours to my black and white deh haha (Star World-freak). Tapi beneraan, duh jadi sedih deh soalnya agak bingung gue mesti ngapain (semacam gabut dan ga ada kerjaan gini hidup gue), haha.

That's why, in order to do something real big in my life, I have decided to (again) create targets for this semester! And they are :

Belajar NYETIR MOBIL sampe beneran bisa! Bokap sebenernya udah bilang buat les lagi tapi guenya aja yang belum menyempatkan diri pergi ke tempat les, hehe. InsyaAllah abis SosAct selesai, sesegera mungkin gue akan mulai les lagi. Ini sebenernya penting banget loh, supaya gue nggak tergantung sama bokap, dan kan enak juga bisa bepergian bawa mobil sendiri, hoho.
Bikin PKM-GT bareng Kak Dito dan Kak Dhany :D Jadi ceritanya one day gue bilang ke Kak Dito (yang ternyata sekarang dapet sejuta gara-gara menang PKM), "Kak, lain kali kalau mau bikin PKM lagi ajak-ajak saya dong!" dan Alhamdulillahnya tadi dia ngajakin gue untuk ngobrol bareng Kak Dhany juga buat bikin PKM-GT, yeaaay! (superexcited loh saya hehe).
Part-time di Wedding Organizer punya kakaknya Kak Nana bareng Ulil dan Kak Riri woohoo! Nah ini juga alhamdulillah sesuatu banget loh, hahaha. Tadi si Ulil tiba-tiba bilang dia mau kerja part-time waktu liburan nanti di WO milik kakaknya Kak Nana (ribet haha), dan gue dengan segera bilang mau ikutan, hoho. Semoga seru dan nantinya bisa membawa manfaat ya. Amiin :)
LET'S START OUR OWN BUSINESS! Beberapa waktu lalu gue diajakin Anti untuk bareng-bareng mulai bisnis bikin tas anyaman (atau sulam) gitu deh. Pengen banget segera mulai ngebahas konsepnya dsb dsb, hehe. Ini bareng Zinia dan Ulil juga. Ya Allah, semoga bisa terlaksana ya. Amin. Pengen banget deh bikin bisnis sendiri semasa kuliah. Ayolah, anak FE harus praktik! ;)
Ikutan LOMBA :D Nah ini ide yang sampai kemarin belum juga terlaksana, pengen banget ikut lomba Business Plan, hmm insyaAllah ada jalan sih, hehe. Semangat nyari kompetisi! Haha.

That's all :)) Banyak juga ya targetannya, semoga semuanya bisa tercapai. Amin. Semoga IPK bisa sampai akhir nanti tetep diatas 3,5 juga biar ga usah repot nyari kerja, hehe. Amin Ya Allah. Bismillah, wish me luck guys :)

Ramadhan Is About To Over

2011-08-26T05:32:00.000+07:00

Assalamualaikum! :)

Hi guys, Ramadhan is about to over!

Which means, Lebaran is getting closer,

THR is getting closer too,

and my birthday is getting closer, indeed, haha.

But despite all those freakin-happy moments, it also means all these blessings will end pretty soon :(

My dear Allah, please let me be a better person after this Ramadhan.

This month, even though I know my iman has its ups-and-downs, always make me feel blessed and peaceful inside. I might not be Your best fighter around, but please do continue leading me toward Your light. Amin.

I love You, I love Ramadhan.

Bismillah, we still have a few days to go though :D

I Love Them

2011-08-10T22:38:00.000+07:00

I love my mom.
I love my dad.
I love my older brother, Owi.
I love my younger brother, Aja.
I love my younger sister, Nca.
And I love my little brother, Zaki.

I love each person of this family of ours.

Thankyou Allah for giving me the best family, ever :)

YouTube and Tumblr : Love

2011-08-03T11:36:00.000+07:00

Hi guys, these two things have become dopes for me in these past months : YouTube and Tumblr. For you who doesn't know what YouTube is (oh c'mon haha), it's a site where you can watch videos for free, make your own channel and upload your videos, or even subscribe to your favorite channels. As for Tumblr, it is a blog-like social network site with some additional features such as reblog and timeline (yeah exacly like in twitter or plurk).

Nowadays, people are more likely to spend their time on the internet by opening social networking sites such as twitter and facebook (especially in Indonesia). I used to be those kind of person also, and it does last for quite a long time, 'till I found this excitement in watching videos on Youtube and see great posts in Tumblr.

First, let me tell you the positive things we can get from Tumblr. First, you can see great photograph, yummy foods, new knowledge, this season's fashion, inspiring quotes and even funny posts from this site. Let me recommend you some Tumblr blogs that you should follow : http://wowfunniestposts.tumblr.com/ (to see funny things/videos/GIFs etc), http://did-you-kno.tumblr.com/ (to know things you never knew you never know!), http://mochacafe.info/ (to drool hahaha), and http://leilockheart.me/ (to find nice pictures and inspiring quotes). Go check those websites and explore it yourself! Don't forget to follow me when you're already on tumblr :) -- this is my site guys :)

Let's move on to YouTube. Basically I use this website to know more about international musics (firstly, it's Johnny's Boys and recently it goes more to western musics). YouTube now has a feature of music chart when you open the "Music" tab. This helps me a lot since I'm not the one who likes to hear radio hehe. But well, that is not what I like the most from YouTube because now I open it for the sake of watching videos from YouTube channels, such as nigahiga (I know you love him), JRAquinomusic (yes the one who sings "You And I"), futureshorts (a channel about short movies), WongFuProduction (you guys should check this one out!), or Kids React from TheFineBros :D Well I also love YouTube because it can improve your slang (whoops) and your listening skill! Hahaha :P

Well, okay, I actually just want to share those unimportant this to you, maybe to give you some new ideas of having fun on the internet! Bye :D

I Just Want To Post Something, Now!

2011-07-24T13:49:00.001+07:00

Hi guys :D

Sorry for not posting things for a while :) I've been quite busy with my organization stuffs and somehow I just didn't get my 'writing mood' hehe.

My last post talks about what posts I sould be writing, right? But well, since I has been quite a long time ago, now I'm not in the mood of writing those things anymore, haha. But I'll tell you an important point which I should convey in my supposedly-writing about Defri. He is a participant in my faculty's community development program, Desa Binaan FEUI's SuperCAMP!, and he doesn't look like a 'nice guy' from his appearance. But then my friend told me about his story, about how he got dropped out of school because he's so poor that he couldn't pay his tuition fee while in the next 2 month after his drop-out, he supposed to get his scholarship for his entire school-life, and about how he hoped the same thing wouldn't befall on his sister so that he tried to work in order to help his family's financial problem. So cool, right? :) So, you might have already guessed about what I'm gonna tell you: people can judge you based on your appearance, but what makes you important is not it, it is what you've done for you and others.

Anyway, change of topic, I supposed to do this writing to tell you how I used to be a very ultimately extremely random person! Hahaha :P Just read some of my old posts in this blog, and I realized how random I used to be! (doesn't mean that I'm not being random in this exact time, but it seems that my writings have grown-up little by little :P -- should I be happy or sad for it? Haha) It makes me remember my friend's saying about a week ago, when I reunited with some friends from my high school, she said that I have become an adult now, that I'm no longer have that sense of humor I used to have during my high-school-life. Oh my God, I was really shocked when she said those things to me, haha. Then I tried to say more jokes and I succeed :P

Well, I personally think that it is normal to become more grown-up (in the way of thinking and so on), and I think this is the right time for me to be so. But still, as I've already said in my long long long post before, I don't want to lose my childish side, I just don't want to. Why? Because I love the feelings of children. Innocence. Adventurous. Mad. Unstoppable. Funny. Reckless. Cool. Hahaha :P

Okay folks, I think I have to stop now :P Anyway, my sister just bought me an ice cream! Hahahahaha :D

Bye-bye and see ya soon, bloggers :D

Actually there are so many things I really have to write here. But well, tomorrow I have to get up early in order to meet an IPB student in Bogor to discuss my newest responsibility in campus: becoming one of the people in charge of the home industry project for FEUI's Social Act 2011.

So today I will just write down those important things I have to post here to make sure that I will post them later on. Well, here they are:

My strength and weaknesses.

Okay folks, I'm so sorry but please do wait for my next postings :)

Jangan Apatis!

2011-06-22T00:39:00.000+07:00

Hari ini ada public hearing dari BPM FEUI terkait permasalahan Bidding OPK FEUI 2011.

Public hearing-nya berjalan seru (at least untuk gue dan beberapa temen gue), dan membuat gue lebih tau banyak tentang informasi-informasi yang sebelumnya belum gue tau, atau informasi lain yang kurang jelas. Oke disini gue nggak akan membahas tentang public hearing itu sendiri, tapi gue cuma mau menceritakan dampak dari acara hari ini untuk gue pribadi.

Pertama, gue bersyukur karena nggak termasuk mahasiswa yang apatis. Kenapa? Karena ternyata mengikuti acara-acara seperti tadi bikin mata gue lebih "melek" tentang mahasiswa itu sendiri. Politik yang terjadi di kampus gue sebenernya belum sepenuhnya gue mengerti, tapi tadi gue melihat betapa mahasiswa memiliki keberanian yang snagat besar untuk menyuarakan pendapatnya ataupun mempertahankan argumennya. Beda dengan waktu SMA dimana siswa yang berkonflik akan langsung diem ketika guru angkat bicara, mahasiswa cenderung menganggap semua manusia sama, tanpa melihat jabatan mereka. Nggak heran kenapa mahasiswa bisa audiensi ke Ketua DPR, demonstrasi sampai bisa menurunkan Presiden, dan lain-lain.

Kedua, adanya kecenderungan berbagai lembaga untuk bersikap netral membuat kita lebih berpikir untuk menentukan pendapat kita sendiri tanpa adanya doktrin-doktrin dari berbagai pihak. Dengan timbulnya berbagai dialektika dalam forum tadi, gue jadi bisa menilai sendiri pihak mana yang cenderung lebih baik menurut gue. Walaupun gue berusaha untuk senetral apapun, gue tetap memiliki opini tersendiri mengenai pihak-pihak yang terlibat dalam forum tadi.

Ketiga, public hearing tadi memperlihatkan sosok-sosok yang "memiliki massa" di kampus, yang menurut gue semuanya keren-keren! Betapa kuat dan besarnya suara tokoh-tokoh ini di forum tadi memunculkan pertanyaan mengenai bagaimana mereka bisa memberikan influence yang luar biasa untuk orang-orang di sekitarnya, dengan cara mereka masing-masing.

Terakhir, public hearing tadi cukup mengingatkan gue untuk tidak menjadi mahasiswa apatis di tahun kedua, tetap menjalankan berbagai kegiatan organisasi dan mencari prestasi di kampus, demi FEUI yang lebih baik.

People Change. I (should've) Change(d) Also.

2011-05-26T23:47:00.000+07:00

Kembali, saya merasa takjub dengan kemampuan teman-teman saya yang luar biasa. Baik dalam segi melukis, menulis, memahami materi kuliah, berorganisasi, dan banyak lagi. Hebat sekali ya, mereka bisa seperti itu. Terkadang saya merasa kecil hati, suatu hari nanti, saya akan diingat sebagai apa ya? Orang yang seperti apa? Kelebihan apa yang bisa membedakan saya dari bermiliar manusia lainnya?

Saya suka berpikir, kami semua awalnya sama. Allah menciptakan kami di tahun yang sama sehingga umur kami sama, kami juga sama-sama makan nasi, seperti yang sering orang bilang. Apa yang berbeda? Kesalahan apa yang membuat sekarang saya merasa belum bisa catch-up dengan mereka yang sudah sangat baik di passion-nya masing-masing? Oke, bukan kesalahan, mungkin saya yang sekarang masih dalam tahap pembelajaran.

Tetap saya harus bersyukur karena diberi tahap pembelajaran yang seperti ini. Satu-satu Allah memberikan permasalahan dalam kehidupan saya, lalu saya akan berusaha mencari jawabannya, berfilsafat. Hingga pada akhirnya saya akan mencapai suatu kesimpulan, yang merupakan jalan keluar dari problematika yang saya hadapi.

Dalam hal ini, saya sedang memiliki need of achievement yang tinggi, karena tergiur melihat banyaknya prestasi yang sudah diraih teman-teman seusia saya. Ingin sekali rasanya bisa menjadi seperti itu. Lalu apa? Aksi apa yang bisa dilakukan?

Setelah cukup banyak mengisi otak saya dengan inspirasi dan pengalaman hidup orang lain, ternyata ada satu hal yang harus : berubah.

Mengambil langkah awal untuk melakukan perubahan,

demi menjadi lebih dari yang sekarang.

"Sesungguhnya Allah tidak akan mengubah nasib suatu kaum kecuali kaum itu sendiri yang mengubah apa yang ada dalam diri mereka." QS 13:11

Perfume : Best Girl Band Ever

2011-05-23T21:08:00.002+07:00

Well, actually I'm sick of all those Korean and Japanese girl bands which usually show their members' sensual side covered in their fake cuteness and all. Well, no offense actually. I only kind of hate their super sexy clothes and their sensual dancing moves, haha. And here I come with a Japanese Girl Band named Perfume which has a distinctly different style with those characters I've said before.

Perfume doesn't consist of many girls in considerably young age, it only consists of three girls who have already been in their mid twenties. Their faces are quite standard with no cues of plastic surgeries, their music is not the so-called kpop or jpop musics other girl bands usually prefer, and most importantly: they don't dress like others (You guys exactly know what I mean, don't you? Haha).

Not only are they wonderful because of their dissimilarity with other girl bands, but they also are very awesome because of their brilliant music performance. I love their music videos, the producer had made them perfect with nice combination between story line, dancing moves, clothings, and technology. Yes, technology.

Here are two music videos of theirs that I consider the best of all :

What do you think? Brilliant, aren't they? :D

BATAS - Movie Trailer

"Suatu saat kamu akan mengerti, kalau kamu adalah penjaga masa depan tanah Borneo ini"

Recently, I've seen the making of this movie being aired on television. Similar with other Indonesian movies which lift up the issue about nationality, this one also caught my attention. By seeing the trailer, I become even more interested to watch this movie. I think I should go watch it this weekend. Anyone coming? :P

Call Me Achievement-Oriented, I'm Okay.

Inspiration is not enough, we need action!

-Asriana Syarifa Septari

Tiba-tiba gue terpikir untuk menulis ini. (Waw keren ya ngepost dua kali dalam sehari, udah kayak minum obat haha). Hm, entah kenapa, gue rasa gue banyak banget baca tulisan-tulisan yang inspiring, nonton berbagai film yang inspiring, dan apalah banyak lagi hal-hal yang menyangkut inspirasi lainnya. Beberapa saat yang lalu gue menyadari kehampaan yang ada dalam diri gue: perasaan terinspirasi yang sangat kosong, setelah dapet inspirasi cuma terhenyak dan berpikir sesaat untuk berbuat sesuatu, tapi pada akhirnya ngga melakukan apa-apa.

Yah, itulah gue (Wets pasrah banget haha). Inilah salah satu kelemahan anak tipe ENTP, brilian banget dalam meng-generate suatu ide, tapi males dalam pelaksanaan dan detilnya. Tapi gue ga bisa begini terus, harus berubah. Dan gue pernah denger kalo kita mau mencapa sesuatu, write it down! Tuliskan supaya otak lo terstimulasi dengan tulisan itu. Bahkan harusnya goals itu ditulis pakai tangan (maksudnya bukan ngetik pake laptop, walaupun ngetik juga pakai tangan sih haha). Tapi berhubung gue bakalan lebih sering online daripada baca-baca buku catatan gue, jadi mendingan gue tulis disini aja.

Yak, dan ini lah beberapa action yang bakal gue lakukan setelah semua inspirasi itu terkumpul dalam otak gue :

Berusaha mencapai semua target, timeline, dan berjuang sekeras mungkin menjadi koordinator yang bertanggungjawab; baik di MTI BPM maupun di Humas Desa Binaan. Ga ada lagi males-malesan ngerjain proker atau santai-santai ngga ngurusin dua hal ini.
Do my best di SPA goes to SMEs. Ini program luar biasa yang ditawarkan FEUI buat calon entrepreneur dan business consultant kayak gue. Disini gue ga boleh cuma nuntut ilmu, tapi juga targetin buat menang!
Berusaha mati-matian di Semester Pendek. Gue udah dapet kelas MK dan MO sementara orang-orang masih pada waiting list gatau urutan ke berapa. Dalam dua bulan ini gue harus bisa nguasain MK dan MO, kalo ngga apa gunanya SP. Manfaatin temen yang rajin belajar (in a good way, of course haha).
Habis dapet IPK tahun pertama, segera buka mahasiswa.ui.ac.id buat nyari beasiswa atau tawaran exchange program. Manfaatkan kesempatan yang terbuka luas!
SEMANGAT BELAJAR BUAT UAS WOY!

Hahaha oke, semangat ah, gue tau gue pasti bisa, gue kan keren B)

Bismillah. Wish me luck folks ;)

Tagged! I'm it!

2011-05-22T17:48:00.001+07:00

Okay, I dedicated this post to you denisaroseno, wahahaha :P

Yeah, you know I've seen this "tag game" since dont-know-when on tumblr. But well, I havn't been tagged yet (in tumblr), but I got tagged by my cute friend, Denisa, here in blogspot. Since this is Sunday afternoon (so what) I think I'm gonna go play this~

Rules :

1. Each tagged person must post ten things about themselves.

2. You have to choose and tag ten people.

3. Go to their blogs and tell them you tagged them.

4. No tag backs.

5. Have fun.

(Okay actually I'll play according to those rules but I'll ignore the second and third part, because I don't think I should, hahaha :P)

Okay ten things about me :

I am a Muslim, insyaAllah.
I have had such a damn-good life these past 18 years. Got so many friends, experiences, and so forth. I am grateful for all this awesomeness.
I am a sanguine, total sanguine. I can easily get my self back up even after being hit by the most terrifying thing (haha, kidding :P). But it's true that I am a super sanguine who loves to take everything easy, likes to laugh and tell jokes, unable to control my exaggerating side.
Based on MBTI personality test, I am an ENTP (Extraverted Intuitive Thinking Perceiving). You can see the detail about ENTP here or here. In general, ENTPs are able to seek deep understanding of things, quick in both verbal and cerebral things, able to see lots of possibilities, and energetic. We're such a great idea generator; however, we dislike details and not good in maintaining the idea which had been generated by ourselves.
I love my parents, family, friends, and every single nice person surrounding me.
I like tasty foods, colors, writings, and inspirations :) I also like NEWS, Yamapi, Taylor Swift, and several other musicians. I like music. In love with Killua Zaoldyeck too, one of the main characters in Hunter X Hunter anime.
I am in love with deep-thinking. I like philosophy. Maybe this is one of the reasons why I love Japanese dramas haha. I love to discover the meanings inside something.
I want to be an entrepreneur. A restaurant owner to be precise. What kind of restaurant? Well, it depends on the future, though. It could be Japanese, Italian, a coffee shop, or even a cake shop.
I want to have a beautiful house in the future. It won't be too big, with a very nice view, cozy garden, and a fish pond, mixed in a wonderful architecture which combines Indonesian, Japanese, and modern styles. To make it even more perfect, inside it will be a small but loving family (and that should be mine, not others haha).
I hope I can be a person who always gives merits to others, lives within the bright gleam of Islam, and is able to die peaceably as a Muslim. Amin. (Why does it sound like a prayer in this tenth answer? :P)

Nah, I'm done.

To tell you the truth, it is fairly difficult to put your very self in those ten points. Haha. But it helps me a lot in understanding my own self. Nice tagging game indeed! :D

Anyone wants to be tagged? Tell me if someone does :P

Time To Relax! :D

2011-05-21T23:30:00.000+07:00

Hello guys :) Tired of me posting those boring-thoughtful-serious posts these days? Missing my sanguine side? I've got a good news for you who answered "hell yes". Hahaha :P

Okay, today is Saturday. And unlike Rebecca Black who loves Friday, I love Saturday :) Why? Because you have a full day off! I woke up late, realized that I got nothing to do; therefore, start browsing on the internet, then found out that time had flown before my eyes, and BANG! It's already eleven o' clock in the evening, hahaha. I love this kind of lazy days, so I gotta sing Bruno Mars' Lazy Song! (Okay, joking :P)

But really, I had fun today :D After browsing on the internet all morning long, I had a very very -seriously- really nice shower, hehe. I washed every inch of my body, I even brushed my teeth... and toes! Haha. I was not kidding guys, I really brushed my toes -of course I didn't use my toothbrush nor toothpaste, I used a nail brusher, haha-. Then, I put those so-called facial cream and got such a wonderful scent because I put on my body lotion also haha. Quite weird for a girl like me, huh? I don't care :P I felt such an awesome contentment for being clean hahaha.

Okay then, what did I get from my internet adventure these past two days? Good news for Yamapi's fans (Oh noo I'm starting to do this fangirling stuff over him again, haha), he has released his new single called "Hadakanbo" and the PV has already out :D (actually it's been on the internet since January 2011 but I'm kinda late to know the news, so yeah hehe). And to Taylor Swift's fan, tehere's also a great news for you! :) She has released her latest PV titled "Mean". The song itself is one song from her latest album, Speak Now.

Okay now, let's start the review.

For Yamapi's Hadakanbo, I actually kinda like the PV because he's handsome in it, haha (as always). I also like the lighting and the angles. But well, to tell you the truth, I don't like the music. It sounds like an old song sung in Broadway. I don't even know the genre, haha. And there's another thing that sucks: he has five girls accompany him in this PV. No, I'm not disliking it because I'm jelaous or something, but it's Johnny's boy! They rarely have any girl partners in their music videos or concerts. Yamapi's first single Loveless was released with an unknown-faced girl becoming his partner. In One In A Million, he got one girl. And now, five? Oh God, hahaha. As for the lyrics, it's quite usual for Yamapi's single. It has that sensual type of lyrics which I don't prefer much. But overall, it's still a good PV. It's just the music that doesn't suit me hehe.

Taylor Swift's "Mean" differs a lot from her previous singles which usually talk about love, and break-ups, and love, and more love, and love, and love, haha. This single is about those bullies being mean to weak people, and in the future, those weak people become prominent. It actually conveys such a message, "Why you have to be so mean to others?". The video itself is well-made, Taylor had her natural make-up on some scenes and the "broadway diva" look on others. Overall, the music video is okay. It's not as astounding as Love Story, but not as bad as Teardrops On My Guitar.

Enough for the review :)

Let's jump to another topic: A Brand New Layout For My Blog! Yeay :D I actually have been trying to do this several times, but my Google Chrome doesn't seem to be able to manage the Blogger Template Design manager, so I always ended up changing nothing. But then I remembered a better way to overcome this problem: using a template design from other website, hahaha. So here I come, with a new layout, new pictures, et cetera. Hope you like it!

Okay then, that's all for today.

Goodnight folks :)

Be Grateful and Smile

2011-05-20T22:29:00.002+07:00

At first, I was about to write several paragraphs regarding this miraculous boy, but I ended up writing crap. I realized that understanding this feeling of astonishment and the subsequent feeling of gratitude that follows can never be described in words.

You can watch this video by yourself and discover the meaning inside.

I wanted to cry for sure, but his smile makes my action seems irrelevant :)

Subhanallah.

Indonesian Farmers: Live in Poverty in An Agricultural Country

2011-05-11T21:07:00.004+07:00

As we all have already known, our country is an agricultural country. It means that our country is focusing on the productivity of farmers and the quality or quantity of agricultural plants which is cultivated in our country. Our country, Indonesia, has quite a great amount of wet rice field and so forth. Our production in rice and other agricultural plants are not so bad either. But there is one question that is always pronounced, it is about why our farmers still get stuck below the poverty line? If this poverty keeps lingering in Indonesian farmers’ lives, then who will be the next generation of farmers? The children of farmers will suffer hard times in their lives so that they will have no interest in becoming a farmer like their parents. If this is happening, then there will be no regeneration of farmers in our country. This is a very big yet accidentally forgotten problem that happens in our society. In order to be able to fix this problem, we should first identify the factors which cause this problem to happen and after it, try to arrange some solutions regarding this issue.

The first factor is: most of our farmers are only workers that work at other people’s farm. Indonesian farmers’ possession of the field is only 0,3 hectares in Java Island and 0,7 hectares all over Indonesia. Since the farmers are only workers, they can only be paid by the owners. When the harvests are numerous then their salary is not simultaneously increasing because they have a fix amount of wage. Moreover, the profit and wage that can be earned by workers are not as big as the profits that can be earned by the owner itself. That is one of the factors that make our farmers are poor.

The second factor is because even though there are some farmers who owned a field, although it’s not a big field, there are still many problems that weighed them. One of the problems is bad irrigation system. Because of the bad irrigation system, these minor farmers will face problems such as failing in their harvests because of they are lacking of water, and so on. In addition, the farmers also have to buy water pump in case there is a damaged irrigation system. The second problem is the price of fertilizers which is always increasing as year goes on. They should also buy the seeds, and it does not cost little. At one side, those farmers have to increase the budget they spend in growing seeds but the prices of their products are not proportional with their expenses.

Another factor is our country’s dependence toward imported agricultural products. It is said that this country imported a big amount of other country’s agricultural products. Indonesia even opened 70 harbors to accept those products, whereas America, who definitely is not an agricultural country, only opens 3 harbors for other country’s agricultural products. It is such a shame that an agricultural country like us still imported agricultural products from other country. Is our production is still not enough to fulfill the demand of agricultural products? I think actually the answer is no. We do have a lot of products harvested each year, but the quality cannot be compared with imported products. That is why the market still demands for imported agricultural products. In this case, I think the government should minimize the amount of imported agricultural product. More importantly, the government and the farmers should also try to improve the quality of our own products. Of course the people in our country will not want to eat or buy products with bad qualities, right?

As year goes by, there has not been a significant change in farmers’ lives because they are still counted as poor people in our country. Even though the government has already tried to give subsidy for them to buy fertilizers; however, those subsidies are not straightly go to the farmers. It is said that it goes to the producers of fertilizers and seeds. So, it does not bring any direct benefit to the farmers. Yes, it is true that the farmers only have to buy those fertilizers with half of the real price, but I think that price has not been reachable yet for farmers.

Another thing that has been done to make up this poverty of farmers is creating a new system of farming which has been trialed by PT. East West Seed Indonesia. They tried to improve the farmers’ life quality with a new salary system. With this system, the farmers will get profits whenever the company gets more profits. The farmers can also have a discussion with the company owner about the product’s price and where should they sell it. This company also tries to make relationship with supermarkets or hypermarkets so that those farmers’ products can be sold there.

In 2011, the government planned to make a new solution for this problem. It is to give subsidy straight to the farmers themselves. This program is still a plan, so we have not known yet about the result. But I wish it can be a great solution which can save our country’s farmers from poverty.

In my opinion, there are some steps that can be taken. First of all, it is to take merits of the role of education in this country. All of us have always been told since elementary school that our country, Republic of Indonesia, is a big agricultural country. I think the explanation should not be stopped there. The children should also know how to make our country a good agricultural country. It should be taught as an important knowledge for the country’s children, so that they can be motivated to be a professional farmer. We can also give trainings for children and also other students such as junior high school students or high school students about how to be a farmer, so that they can know the food producing process.

Secondly, there are still many tasks that should be done by the government. Those tasks are improving the irrigation system, giving great prices to the seeds, and giving good prices for the products that have been harvested by the farmers. If the selling price is increased, the farmers can get more profit from their farming activity, and they may improve their quality of life.

The poverty problem of Indonesian people is still a very big problem that still cannot be solved. One of the most important problems regarding Indonesian poverty is farmers’ quality of life which results from many factors; however, the most important thing is how to fix it. After we have been aware of this crucial problem, we should give more respect to Indonesian farmers by buying the products they sell, rather than merely leave this problem to be solved by government.

Being A Child Means Freedom

2011-04-28T19:15:00.000+07:00

Once again, my journey on the train gives me an unbelievably great experience. Thank God I am now used to take that public transportation. I can learn a lot.

Today, I saw two children, the first one was when I was on the train, the other was at Kalibata Train Station. I do not know the reason, but recently I have been very interested in children, unlike my high school time when I never care about them.

The first child was still very small, I can tell from his posture that he hasn't even been able to walk. He was looking at my plastic-cup of tea which has many ice blocks in it. I think, he found that the cup was interesting. He kept looking at it, then I tried to grab the cup, and move it up-down. His pupils followed the movement of the cup, extremely cute. His face is very cute too, fyi. Then I stopped moving it when it was very close to my face, then I made some funny (or scary) expressions, hoping he would be entertained. Yes, he laughed. And I was super glad. I rarely do this kind of stuffs to children, you know? For ages, I'm pretty sure :P

The second one was bigger, maybe about 3 years old because he could stand by his own. His face was very unique, with that kind of Arabic or middle-east face. White skin, sharp nose, big eyes, and thick eyebrows. I believe he will be pretty handsome in near future, haha. I didn't do any interaction with this child, but I find it funny when I saw him pulling his daddy's hand, making sure that his dad didn't go into the train. His face looked terribly scared, I think he's afraid of train or something. And his dad was yelling, "Oh c'mon, the train will leave in no time, we gotta hurry." with some slight laughter because he knows his son did something silly. In the end, they couldn't catch the train up, of course they were out of time. But still, they look very cute, especially the boy :)

Being a child means freedom. Yes, you can express anything you want straight-away, without being troubled of what people will judge about you. Anything. Because you never think of other people. You just want to become your very self, telling others how you feel. That's just utterly great, isn't it?

Irreplaceable Memories.

2011-04-27T20:28:00.004+07:00

Tiga tahun yang lalu.

"You'll be in my heart,

yes you'll be in my heart,

from this day on, now, and forever more.

You'll be in my heart,

no matter what they say.

You'll be here in my heart, always."

Setiap mendengar lagu itu, saya teringat dengan saudara-saudara saya, keluarga besar Sains dan Perpustakaan angkatan 44. Sungguh, empat puluh tiga orang ini, adalah orang-orang yang amat berarti dalam kehidupan saya ini. Pertama kalinya saya dikenalkan dengan sebuah organisasi, ikatan kekeluargan yang luar biasa inilah yang saya dapatkan.

Kami telah melewati banyak hal bersama, mulai dari forum pertama di ruang kelas XI IPA F, hingga malam kekeluargaan sekaligus hari pelantikan kami menjadi anggota SP 44 di rumah Ketua kami, Muhammad Fikri, di Tanjung Barat. Selama proses itu kami melewati banyak tugas, diklat, hingga obrolan tak penting yang mengharuskan kami pulang maghrib dari kos-kosan dekat sekolah, datang ke SMA 8 tercinta setiap hari bahkan ketika libur dua minggu, dan banyak lagi. Saya ingat, dulu, setiap pulang sekolah, walaupun tidak ada kegiatan yang mengharuskan, kami akan mengobrol di depan masjid Darul Irfan, bercanda, tertawa terbahak-bahak, bahkan membuat silsilah keluarga dan peta kompleks keluarga kami. Indah sekali rasanya.

Di SP, saya belajar banyak hal, bagaimana sakitnya ketika ketua angkatan kami dilecehkan di depan forum, ketika tugas kami dianggap tidak berhasil, ketika jumlah kami tidak mencapai komitmen. Kami belajar bagaimana indahnya saling membantu, menyemangati saudara kami yang lain, bagaimana setiap orang adalah elemen penting yang tidak dapat kami abaikan dalam keluarga ini. Belajar bahwa hidup harus diperjuangkan. Saya masih ingat, kami semua menangis, ketika akhirnya berhasil menjadi anggota organisasi ini.

Satu tahun yang lalu.

"Sebiru hari ini, birunya bagai langit terang benderang.

Sebiru hari kita, bersama disini.

Seindah hari ini, indahnya bak permadani taman surga.

Seindah hati kita, walau kita kan terpisah.

Bukankah hati kita telah lama menyatu, delam tali kisah persahabatan Ilahi?

Pegang erat tangan kita terakhir kalinya, hapus airmata meski kita kan terpisah.

Selamat jalan teman, tetaplah berjuang, semoga kita bertemu kembali.

Kenang masa indah kita, sebiru hari ini."

Lagu ini selalu mengingatkan saya pada keluarga yang selanjutnya, sebuah keluarga yang berada di bawah besarnya ukhuwah Mabit Nurul Fikri. Di sini saya mengenal banyak orang, banyak karakter, bukan hanya karakter tipikal yang saya temukan di SMA. Di sini saya belajar bagaimana berjuang bersama, dengan usaha dan ibadah. Bukan hanya saya belajar ilmu dunia, disini saya mendapatkan ajaran Islami yang akan selalu saya syukuri.

Di Mabit ini, berbeda dengan tempat belajar lainnya, kompetisi yang kami lakukan sangatlah sehat. Adalah sangat membahagiakan ketika kami dapat meloloskan teman kami yang lain, membantu mereka lulus snmptn, simak, dan ujian lainnya. Disinilah saya belajar untuk terus tegar, berusaha maksimal, dan selalu peduli pada orang lain.

Ukhuwah yang saya dapatkan tidak kalah indah, dibalut dengan indahnya persaudaraan dalam Islam. Banyak hal yang menyenangkan, mulai dari pelajaran-pelajaran yang sangat menyenangkan tiap Sabtu-Minggu, serunya road-show Fusion 2, pembukaan mabit intensif yang diwarnai dengan keceriaan Ganas, hingga stase Mabit Intensif yang sangat luar biasa. Tangisan pun banyak kami dengar, setiap SKU, ketika kami membuka pengumuman SIMAK bersama, ketika kami mendengar adanya saudara seperjuangan kami yang tidak lulus ujian, dan ketika kami tahu kedakatan ini tidak akan berlangsung selamanya.

"Don't cry because it ended, smile because it happened"

Terima kasih ya Allah, lagi-lagi saya diingatkan betapa saya sangat mensyukuri semuanya :)

Aku dan Desa Binaan

2011-04-20T18:26:00.000+07:00

Aku Asriana Syarifa Septari. Dia Desa Binaan FEUI. Awalnya kami belum saling mengenal, dan aku tidak pernah tertarik padanya. Bahkan mendengar frase “kegiatan organisasi” saja sudah membuatku mual. Yah, mau bagaimana lagi. Dulu semasa SMA aku sudah bisa dibilang cukup aktif mengikuti kegiatan ini-itu. Tidak terlalu banyak juga sih, tapi rasanya ingin sekali menikmati masa perkuliahan dengan bersantai. Entahlah, sepertinya takdir yang mempertemukan kami.

Suatu hari di sebuah ruang luas bernama Auditorium FEUI, aku mendengar namanya, Desa Binaan FEUI. Seperti yang aku bilang, tidak tertarik sama sekali. Tapi aku punya satu senior yang gencar mempromosikan kegiatan yang satu ini. Katanya seru, menyenangkan, dan apalah banyak sekali kata-kata indah lainnya. Aku tetap tidak tertarik.

Dari sekian banyak peluang kepanitiaan yang disediakan oleh kampusku, aku tidak memilih satu pun. Setelah beberapa teman mulai sibuk berurusan dengan kegiatannya, barulah keinginan berorganisasi itu kembali timbul. Aku iri, ingin sibuk juga. Akhirnya teringat bahwa seniorku pernah bilang sesuatu tentang Desa Binaan FEUI. Wah boleh juga dicoba, untungnya kesempatan masih terbuka.

Ketika dihadapkan pada banyak pilihan divisi, aku tertarik sekali dengan yang namanya Kreatif. Seksi acara, benar-benar bidangku, kupikir. Akhirnya aku pun mendaftar di bagian itu. Pilihan kedua yang tersedia di kertas pendaftaran masih kosong, bingung rasanya karena aku tidak tertarik pada bidang yang lain. “Public Relation”, suatu istilah cita-citaku semasa SMP dulu. Bidang komunikasi. Sepertinya menarik juga, kutulislah “Public Relation” di ruang yang kosong tadi.

Mulailah ku kumpulkan berkas-berkas yang diperlukan, kubuat CV sebaik mungkin. Maklum, ini kepanitiaan pertamaku di bangku kuliah. Ketika tiba saat wawancara, aku belajar banyak tentang apa yang bisa ku lakukan di kepanitiaan ini. Selama wawancara itu berlangsung, aku mulai merasa sepertinya asik juga untuk lebih berkontribusi di bidang hubungan masyarakat, akhirnya kuubah haluanku, Public Relation menjadi pilihan pertama.

Suatu malam, sebuah pesan singkat sampai di telepon genggamku. Isinya tidak begitu kuingat, yang jelas ada kalimat mutiara dari seorang pelaku sejarah, Sukarno kalau tidak salah. Isinya mengenai pergerakan pemuda, kalau tidak salah ingat lagi. Kemudian dikatakan bahwa aku diterima sebagai staf Public Relation. Wah, untunglah. Aku bersyukur walaupun sebenarnya aku tidak kaget. Tapi ya, aku merasa senang.

Rapat pleno pertama, foto divisi pertama, pengalaman menjadi MC pertama kali di bangku kuliah, desain pertama, dan segalanya yang lain akhirnya kualami. Teman-teman yang kukenal di sebuah ruangan di Gedung B FEUI itu pun lama-kelamaan menjadi sangat dekat denganku.

“Nama saya Asriana Syarifa Septari, biasa dipanggil… TARI”

Iya, itu perkenalan pertamaku dengan sahabat-sahabat ini.

Perjalanan setelah itu cukup panjang, dan ternyata apa yang dikatakan seniorku bukan cuma rayuan gombal yang biasa didengar dari abang-abang tukang ojek, karena memang benar Desa Binaan FEUI itu seru, menyenangkan, dan apalah banyak sekali kata-kata indah lainnya.

Aku menemukan teman-teman dan senior-senior yang menjadi keluarga pertamaku di bangku kuliah.

Oke, mungkin kalian sudah cukup muak dengan kata “keluarga” ini. Tapi aku tidak bohong. Kuakui, tidak semua bagian dari kami bisa bersatu, menjadi benar-benar kokoh. Kemungkinannya kecil sekali untuk bisa seperti itu. Tidak ada yang bisa disalahkan. Karena menurutku, yang menentukan seberapa dekatnya kita dengan keluarga baru kita tergantung dari seberapa jauh kita ingin terlibat dalam keluarga tersebut. Dengan berkontribusi besar, ikatan yang didapatkan pun semakin kuat. Kira-kira begitulah.

Terlibat dalam keluarga ini menyenangkan sekali. Walaupun menyita cukup banyak waktu dan tenaga, rasanya senang bisa bekerja sama dengan orang-orang yang menyenangkan, bertemu orang-orang baru di Kelurahan Rangkepan Jaya, dan merasakan pengalaman-pengalaman lainnya.

Itulah mengapa ingin rasanya aku melanjutkan perjuangan ini. Sekali mendayung dua-tiga pulau terlampaui. Dengan kembali berkontribusi, aku bisa mengabdi pada masyarakat, mendapatkan keluarga lagi, dan yang terpenting, merasakan pengalaman-pengalaman yang berarti. Experience is the best teacher. Begitulah kira-kira yang sering kubaca di buku tulis lamaku. Aku ingin diajarkan oleh pengalaman.

Makanya aku disini, untuk merajut lagi pengalamanku bersama kalian dan keluarga baruku.

Untuk keluarga pertamaku, walaupun sebentar lagi kita akan dibubarkan, aku yakin ini bukan perpisahan. Masih ada Grup Keluarga Desa Binaan FEUI di Facebook, jadi tenang saja.

“I will treasure all the memories carved from that trail behind, and welcome this new start as a beginning of another journey.”

A Father's Love

2011-03-29T18:24:00.000+07:00

Train has been a very fundamental public transportation for my life since I go to college. It has been a quite friendly and cozy friend since the. Yes, I kind of like it to go by train. Especially to my college. Why? Simply, because of the speed. It only takes, like 20 minutes from Kalibata to Depok, while usually it takes 30-40 minutes going by car or motorcycle. Besides, I can see a lot of different people when I am on the train. From young reckless boys climbing to the top of the train to old disabled men and women begging for money from passengers.

But no, I'm not going to talk about those boys nor those beggars. Whom I actually want to talk about are two fathers I saw on the train. This afternoon and yesterday, I met two fathers, with different faces, different hairs, different mustaches, and so forth, haha. One thing they have in common is that they were both holding their kids in their arms, and in both of them, I somehow feel the love they gave to their children. I don't know. I somehow just can feel it. They talked to their children whole-heartedly, with those humors you would probably hear form a father, and with those sentences spoiling their little ones. Their children were utterly cute. The one I saw yesterday looked extremely cute, when my eyes and his met, he smiled a bit and that made me want to smile also! :)

I know this post is kind of random and I just can't really explain my feeling to all of you. I only want to tell you how a father actually really care about you. Maybe you don't feel the exact same love when you've become an adolescence, because your father doesn't show that kind of love anymore. Maybe they just showed it in front of you when you were a child. My father did too, I think.

So, I want to give thanks to my father, all fathers in the world. Please keep supporting your children in any way you can ( I believe they already do).

And to all of you boys, who will someday be a father of your child(ren), keep in your heart that you should give your love whole-heartedly to your child(ren). They need it. And that makes them happy, I'm sure. It can also give an utter contentment to other people who saw it (just like what happened to me haha).

Thankyou, Ayah.

... and be prepared, Bapak.

Okay then bye bye guys :D

Probably I Should Treasure This One

2011-03-28T21:11:00.000+07:00

Hey. I just came to a thought that maybe, I should try to treasure this blog and don't left this thing out, for anything's sake. Because you know what? This blog already has more than 50 posts, and I want to neglect it? Man, ridiculous.

How could I step to this conclusion? I have actually tried to write blogs in many domain, such as blogspot, livejournal, wordpress, and tumblr. But still, I can't manage them pretty well. It sucks when you realized that your blog only has 9 or 5 posts, right? It somehow depressed me when I saw such things :P (Okay, kidding guys). But it does feel better when you see that you've already got around 50 posts in your blog, right? It gives you the feeling like, "Wow, I have written this much about my life" :D That kind of feeling will (in my opinion) encourage you to write more. And it's pretty interesting when you look back all over your posts and recall your memories from the past.

In conclusion, I will continue writing this blog, yeay :)

One thing that I'm gonna change is that I will start to write more about my deep thoughts (which I usually post in happinessiskiseki.blogspot.com or asrianass.wordpress.com), and start to combine my writings into English and Indonesian. Maybe in Japanese too, someday? One day? Hahaha. Ah, I think I'm gonna change my layout too, put some more pictures on this blog, and so on. Just to get that kind of "renewal" feeling.

Okay then, let's celebrate this revival of my long-lost blog :D

YEAY!

That's it. Hahaha.

2010-10-24T00:09:00.001+07:00

I’ll love you more tomorrow than today
These overflowing emotions won’t stop
Right now I love you so much
I can’t even put it into words

The days you’ve given me accumulate
The days that have passed, the paths we walked together
Whether our meeting was coincidence
Or fate, just the fact that we met
Is a miracle

We walk close together
Making our eternal love tangible
I want to always be smiling by your side
“Thank you” and, ah, “I love you”
Just aren’t enough, just at least let me say
I’m happy

Just having your right hand
Wrapped up
In my left hand
Made me feel your love

We found the little happiness in each day
In the slow path we walked
Our meeting is just one small thing
In a big world, but just the fact that we met
Is a miracle

Even on days when nothing goes well
Just being together cheers me up
And I can forget the bravado and loneliness
When I’m with you, lala, I can be myself
Just stay with me forever
My beloved

When we fooled around on the way home
That was one of our precious days, too
And when I finally got up the courage to tell you how I felt
The expression on your face was one I’d never seen before
There was a pause, and then you nodded
Our hearts are filled with love
We’re still on our journey
Towards the future that will hopefully continue
For dozens of years

Even if we lose sight
Of tomorrow

We walk close together
Making our eternal love tangible
I want to always be smiling by your side
“Thank you” and, ah, “I love you”
Just aren’t enough, just at least let me say
I’m happy

Even on days when nothing goes well
Just being together cheers me up
And I can forget the bravado and loneliness
When I’m with you, lala, I can be myself
Just stay with me forever
My beloved

Until the last second

I’ll be smiling more tomorrow than today
Just being with you makes me feel that way
Ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years
Let’s spend the time together

I love you

one of best lyrics i ever found. :)

From Me To You : )

Randomness on October 3rd

2010-10-03T12:22:00.000+07:00

hey hey hey there blog! hahahaha :)

it has been quite a long time, right? whaaa yeah i'm now a college student, hehe. majoring in management, and next year, i wish i will be concentrating on human resource management. faculty of economics, university of indonesia. hehe :)

anyway, i've been quite busy with things these days. you know what? college life is so full of events, tasks, classes, friends, and all. i really do have to manage my time well in order to maximize all my strength in all elements i face in college. anyway i'm very optimistic in joining lots of activities in campus, such as seminars, organizations, and other events. :D i think it's so important for our future, hahaha. and the great thing is, my faculty gives me lots of choices to fulfill my needs and that's just extremely cool. i wish i can get more experience by doing all these stuffs. hahaha. i've fired up! :P

change of topic, i'm also soing lots of organizational thingy outside campus. you know, i somehow get bounded with my extra course because of several things, so now i gotta keep in touch with the people i meet there (it's mabit Nf hehe). i'm gonna teach economics, fyi, hahaha. besides, we are going to hold one big try out event too. it's titled Fusion 3. i'm in charge of managing sponsorship and i'm so excited in doing it! haha. i wish i can get links to big corporations :P

hmmm okay it's time for fangirling, hahaha. NEWS has released their newest album titled LIVE. it has a bonus dvd of unplugged songs too. whaa the dvd is great, really cool! but for the entire album, i think it's quite standard since there aren't lot of songs i found great hehe. and you know what? yamapi's hairdo is just extremely awesome! hahaha. i love all members' hairdo actually, except shige's! hahaha.

uhm, what else eh? hahaha. the weather is quite unfriendly these days. it's always been raining all afternoon long, and been so hot during noon! man, the earth is getting more and more unstable. haha.

okay then i gotta dash, bye :D

Exhaustion Effects

2010-05-05T23:36:00.000+07:00

huwaaaaaaaahh. just went through several extremely-tiring-days!

on sunday, i had no cram course class but i gotta go to my course because there was an event held by my 'special course' hahaha (okay, enough of the word course -_-). i went there and had fun! oh my god, it was an opening of some sort of learning program, and i love it! hahaha. once, there was a performance of a music group which consists of my seniors and two of my same-grade friends. they were hilarious! they didn't look like musicians, they looked like comedians! hahaha. they performed some songs (and with some kind of dancing moves too! :D) and did a short acting part too! haha. i burst out of laughter for almost all the time when they were in front of me! :D it was such an awesome refreshment in the middle of my bored-ness. :)

after having tons of fun while watching the performance, the event went serious. we had a motivation-session which was soooooo touching! i was really moved because of that session. yeah, the background musics were really supporting and also my senior's voice and intonation. as a result, i cried a lot! almost from the very beginning till the very end. huwah. hahaha. baka me~. it was embarrassing. hahaha. :P (but okay, i admit that i almost always do cry during this kind of session. hahaha! not to mention my baka-sensitiveness when watching dramas/movies :P)

change of topic, now i'm doing something which is so unimportant. but it's refreshing because i laugh a lot right now. hahaha. i am ****-ing some **** of ** *******! hahaha! what the heck were those stars?! hahaha. just joking! they weren't covering something important. just like i said before, hahaha. okay i think we're getting off topic (blame my A.D.D! :P). back to the topic, that unimportant thing i was doing leads me to this kind of thought : should we lose our childish side when we are turning into adolescences? should we lose the sense of immature madness and other funny yet unimportant things? should we be a totally behaved person? oh man, i just can't believe it. i don't want it to be happened! i want to be a child forever! (who can do anything and behave as freely as they want without anyone protesting them) hahaha. joking! :P well, i do agree that, of course, everyone will be an adult someday. but i think, for now, i still can't divest the childish side of mine. even though i'm supposed to be a more-mature girl (no, i don't want to call myself a 'woman'! hahahaha), i haven't been able to accept the fact that now some my friends have already been soooo mature. only in some particular things, though. hahaha. but somehow it feels strange. (or is it only me who judge them that way? hahaha).

okay, that was just a short piddling rant of mine. hahaha. jaa~ i still have to play with my PS by the way. so i gotta go. (oh, didn't i mention that it was PS as in Problem Set, not Play Station? :P) hahahaahaha! bye bye ^^

Trivial-self-contemplation

2010-04-29T01:43:00.000+07:00

uhm. just thinking that actually having followers make us can't really post something we really want to post. haha.

What I'm Lacking Of

2010-04-28T22:55:00.001+07:00

i was once bewildered because of one question : "what exactly is happiness?". when i was in one motivation training, i was ordered to imagine one of the happiest moments i ever had in my life. at that time, my mind drifted to all awards i won, all accomplishments i achieved, all great scores i got, and all. but still, i couldn't find them as 'the happiest moment ever'. is it because i've already used to having those great things or what? i didn't understand my own feeling. having realized this bugging question of mine, i asked the motivator about that very question. and she said, "if you can scarcely feel what happiness really is, maybe you are in short of gratefulness."

so that's all about the sense of gratitude.

i think i have to fly back and take a journey through times, ever since i was born, until now. it is such a shame that i just realized that there are so many blessings which have befallen on me. until now.

thank you Allah for giving me all your blessings.
You are such a nice God and i believe You will always be : )

^^

2010-04-26T17:51:00.000+07:00

alhamdulillah.
thank you my dear God for always loving me and all your servants on earth.
thank you.
from now on, i will try my best.
thank you.
thank you.

do you know how long is a proper time for someone to study? hahaha. i think, the effectiveness will somehow decrease as people take longer time for their study. every brain needs some sort of refreshments, right? hahaha. for me, internet is an amazing thing that ALWAYS refresh my mind. well, okay, sorry, of course japanese doramas, comics, and NEWS are the same. hahahaha. oh, i forgot one important brain nutrition, FOOD. hell yeaaah~ XD

maa, i've been studying history for about two hours, so now i'm in the middle of my "brain meditation" wth! hahaha. i need about the same amount of time to refresh my brain and make it work just how it supposed to be. (no, it doesnt mean that i can't think properly right now, hahahaha!). hm, i've been surfing for about an hour so the time left is just... 50 minutes. haaaa~ after it, i have to go studying again! yatta~! (eh? ureshii desuka? hahahaha! bakayarou! XD). hmm, i will definitely use this spare time wisely. wth, hahaha. yeah, listening to NEWS, browsing latest news about NEWS, watching some videos of NEWS, singing some songs of NEWS, and searching some ~~ero~~ pics of NEWS are enough~!! lalalala~ (hahaha kidding, of course i'm not an ero princess, hahaha! XP)

sore yori honto
hontou wa ima sugu
aitai dake saa, uuh baby!

aaah, now it's time for NEWS no NEWS~! lalalala~ after an over-excitement of their new single, Sakura Girl, it's time for another great contentment for NEWS' fans, they'll release their latest single, "Be Funky", which is a soundtrack of Shige's new drama, "troubleman". hahaha (shige plays as a lead-role in this one~ sugoooi nee~). it is said that Shige is the member of NEWS who will follow the popularity of NEWS' leader, Yamashita Tomohisa, hahahaha~! somehow i find it funny, sorry~ it's kinda too weird because shige (who obviously is a bullied member in NEWS) was being compared with yamapi (who obviously is the most popular and prominent member of the group). hahahaha~! ah, and the drama will be aired on 04092010! did you notice it? it's ~~my dear~~ yamapi's birthday!! hahahaha! what a super-amusing coincidence!! XD. well, let's just wait for the drama and the single~ i will definitely buy it if i have enough money!! (but i rarely do, so i think the possibility is quite minor, hahahhahaha). XD

huwaaaa yabai, the studying time is getting nearer, i have to make it quick, hahaha. well, i think now i'm gonna tell you about my beloved course. yeay~ recently i have almost nothing to do with my course. so i was just filling up my time with self-studying. (hey, it's filling up, not killing, okay? hahahaha XP). actually i do have some assignments, but i haven't done it yet, hahaha. what an uninteresting info, eh? hahaha. maa, yesterday i came to my course though actually i don't have any errands to do there. i ended up studying history and did a bit of teaching english to my friends. after i had finished discussing english with some friends, i, once again, drowned in my history book. ah, and i have some funny friends who accompany me until my father picked me up. hahaha. we laughed a lot and talked about games, etc. when it was about the time that one of those fellas had to go home, he (the one who had to go home) got inside the building to have his motorbike's helmet. but whoa, the door connecting the building with the backyard was locked. hahahaha. he searched for it and asked the janitor and even the teacher who live at my course, but he couldn't find it. meanwhile, i and another guy (who also is my friend) were chatting at the corridor which ends with that locked door. while we were talking and laughing, suddenly, one of my senior came and opened the door! he got the key! hahahahaha! i immediately went to search for the first guy and told him that the door had been opened. but when i got to the place, the other guy (who was with me when my senior opened the door) yelled and said, "AH! you'd better not let him know first!". actually he was planning on some prank to that guy. and i ruined his scheme. hahahaha!! bakayarou XD

haaa, i think i gotta go back to study~~ lalalalala.

we were strangers, starting out on a journey
never dreaming, what we'd have to go through
now here we are, and i'm suddenly standing
at the beginning with you...

ah, and one last thing, two days ago i watched dragon zakura so now i'm in a very burning mood of studying~! hahahaha XD

and life is a road and i wanna keep going
love is a river i want it keep flowing
life is a road, now and forever
woderful journey

ganbarimasu yooo~ wish me luck minna~!
(sorry those songs are just random songs i was listening to, i couldn't bear but to wrote the lyrics down, hahaha)

bye bye~ ^^

and it was a "bye bye" from DBZ's family~ hahahaha.

NEWSingle, Course, Study, Study, Study!

2010-03-04T19:23:00.001+07:00

hey ya guys there. what's with me? not greeting with anything but only a brief 'hello'. hahaha. okay okay, maybe it's the effect of not having time to do any blogging things, haha. no time to do so? hm, not really actually. but lately i'm just not really into blogging.

anyway, i'm gonna tell you about the latest info of NEWS!! it is said that they're going to release their 12th single called 'Sakura Girl'. the full preview of the song is already out (and i'm listening to it right now, hahaha). it's a quite cheerful song. i love the background music too, because it has many instruments played on it. somehow i think the pv will be extremely great with lots of pink sakura blooming around those awesome members who glows maybe even more bright and gorgeous than the sakura, hahaha. hearing the boys' voice again, in a brand-new-song, really made me happy. choo ureshii desu yo! since it has been a while since the last single they had. well, i hope this single won't be dissapointing (i bet it won't! hahahaa). in my point of view, the song is so well-arranged because somehow it has a great dorama-song effect (just like lots of arashi's songs) but it doesn't lose the dancing-song feel which has a great deal in many of NEWS songs. it's great, isn't it? besides, i really love their voices! i love how they mixed their voices together in such a wonderful harmony~ and in the last part, massu has his solo lines, and his voice really made me melt! hahaha. uhm, the pv is not yet out but i hope it will be out soon! ah, yamapi's nikki tells that they did the pv outdoor~! hahaha. beautiful, ne?

now let's jump to another topic, haha. let me tell you about my course, school, and other studying things, haha. now i'm really in the mood of learning history. for me, it indeed is the hardest subject i have to deal with in the university exam. because of its wide extent of contents, i can barely guess what question will be asked in the test. besides, i'm not used to studying history (at my school, our history teacher will give us numbers of questions printed in some papers and we only have to memorize them. when the test begin, taraaa~ the exact same questions will appear on my exam sheet, hahaha). well, actually i do have a problem set from my course which contains history problems, but i haven't done it yet, hahaha. yeah, i admit my laziness is extremely unbeatable. hahaha. maaa, but i'm planning to read all the chapters first, after it, i will begin my problem-based-learning study, hahaha. wish me luck, folks!

about school, now i'm in the middle of my mid-term exam. there's not much to tell about this exam. it's utterly not important. hahaha. what school won't let their students pass their 12 grade? the answer is there's no school will do so. that's why i think these exams are just formality, no matter how bad your scores are, they will still give mercy to you and you'll pass your last year in high school. hahaha.

the next problem is the national exam. i have to deal with physics, chemistry, and biology (again!). hahaha. well, i think i will start to study for it next week. ah, and next week i'll have the last try out too. (a try out simulating the national exam). i will do my best!

huwaaaa i think i've reached the conclusion of this post, and it is that now i have to start studying (again) hahaha. in order to reach my objectives, i need a tremendous hard work and discipline! ganbarimasu~! ^^

ja, gotta go to my history books! they're already missing me! haha. bye bye guys!

Holiday (?)

2009-12-27T01:03:00.000+07:00

hey! holiday, yeah. i can't really tell whether this really is a holiday or not. hahaha. that's why i put a question mark on the title. what to say, eh? actually now is school holiday, but i don't sense any feeling of holiday this time. first, i have almost nothing to do since a week ago. i went to another city, yes. but it's just to visit my former house and to stay there for a week. during weekends i have to go to my extra course. so yeah, no fun at all. but well, actually yesterday was quite fun. hm, let me tell you a bit about that, haha.

yesterday morning at about 6.00 am, i was woken up by my father. he said we'll go to have breakfast at someplace else rather than home. well, that's quite usual (you know, having breakfast such as porridge or anything near a so-called sport-field) so i woke up, washed my face, brushed my teeth, changed my pants with jeans, wore a t-shirt, and put a jacket outside. i was clothed like i was going to do some sprint or something near the field. hahaha. after about 30 minutes at the car, i arrived at that so-called sport-field. we ate at the vendors near it. i went with a plate of 'yellow rice' ahahahahaha. that was great. i love the dishes, such as the scrambled egg, fried tiny fishes, and shredded meat. after we had finished eating, we had a walk around the field, yeah, a bit of morning exercise, hahaha. maybe that's quite good because i have no intention to have any sport during the holiday. well, who does? hahaha. then, we went back to the car and left that place.

in the car, i was listening to NEWS songs so that i didn't really pay attention to my surroundings. hearing quite a lot songs, which is unusual because my house isn't so far from the place we ate, i realized that my father didn't drive us home. he went straight to the toll-road. i was bewildered so i whispered to my sister and asked her about where we were heading to. my sister shook her head and said that she knew nothing. i turned and asked my mom, but my father was the one who answered, "we're going to (a name of another city)". i was surprised, ahahaha. it's quite crazy since thaat city is not really near, and iall my family but my father haven't took a bath and we all wore a pretty much sleeping-like outfits! hahaha!

i and my brother were having fun in the car because we sang lots of NEWS songs energetically, with our loud voices, hahaha. after several hours, we finally reached the city. then, we went to a store which sells certain food of that city. we bought them and ate them. then, we went straight to another city. it was a looooong journey, and it was quite bad because the road was so winding so that i really wanted to puke. i tried to avoid vomiting by singing NEWS songs and other songs. fortunately, they worked. hahaha. arrived at another city, we went to a resto and ate a lot there. i was nearly puke after eating because my stomach was soooo full, thanks to the snacks i ate all the way, ahahaha. the resto also has a playing ground, so i and my siblings played there for quite a long time and we were having great time. it was so funny to see how coward my little brother is. even though he's 4 years old, he didn't want to play with the swings or the sliders because he was scared of height! hahaha! so, i and my other siblings conducted a scheme (wth!) to make him able to play with the sliders without his hands holding the sliders' sides tightly, hahaha!

there's still a week of my holiday. i hope i won't get bored those days. yeaaahh!

by the way, i have watched news winter party diamond dvd (but only the concert part~) and i love it!! hahahaha! i'll post about it later since now i'm still trying to download the documentary part. i'll make the personal review after i've finished.

jaaa, bye bye~ ^^

Again, Tests

2009-12-12T20:48:00.000+07:00

hey there. oh man, today is Saturday and i am exhausted. on 8 am i went to my extra course, and i had the english test which consists of watching a movie and listening to a song. hm, the song was quite difficult but the movie was not. when i've fed up with the test, i and the others went to the university of indonesia to have other tests which are all writing tests. they're indonesian and english. the english wasnt so hard but wow. the indonesian. that's extremely hard. =.="

tomorrow i have to go to my extra course again, to have an affective test. huwah, wish me luck okay?

Extremely Unhappy

2009-12-03T12:14:00.000+07:00

hello. i'm bored and kinda stressed now. huwah, this is all because of my not-satisfying yet difficult exams. ooohhh, i'm so frustated because of maths and physics. huhuhu. i hope i'm lucky so i can get good scores. i dont care even though i wont have great scores, i just dont want to take the remedial sections. huhuhuhuhuhu. tomorrow will be history and japanese. chemistry and biology will be waiting on monday and tuesday. oh guys, please wish me luck. God, i'm begging you...

God, i'm so sorry for always begging you when i'm in need of Your kindliness.

New Moon And Conan - The Raven Chaser

2009-11-30T18:43:00.002+07:00

NEW MOON

yeap, as you can see at the title, i just watched new moon (the sequel of twilight) last thursday. hahaha. i dont want to post a review about it since i doubt my own objectiveness, hehehe. so, i think i will only tell you about what happened when i was watching it. hehe. actually i watched it with my former class' friends (my very very extremely great class -- xi ipa c!) actually it's kind of a sudden class-outing because we were informed only a day before the D-day. but well, you can't underestimate my former class' desire in having fun, bcause in the end, 21 people were coming. quite a lot for a sudden-class-outing, huh?

now, let's get to the movie, haha. somehow i didnt really find it a romance-movie. uhm, maybe i can consider new moon as a funny story? hahaha! let me tell you some parts in which i and my friends laughed a lot. here it goes. the first one, is when a blow of wind came from nowhere and blew edward's hair so that somehow he looked like a shampoo-advertisement's actor! hahaha! next, it's when jacob suddenly took off his shirt and showed his bulky six-packed belly when bella got hit while she's practicing to ride the motorbike! hahahaha! at that time, i and my friend was laughing so hard and so long that we looked like a loud-and-annoying fella! hahaha! i dont know why the scene somehow looks so exaggerating! hahahaha! the last is when alice was thinking of edward and bella running -happily- together in the forest! hahahaha! what the heck is wrong with that awkward imagination!? she's in the middle of a supposed-to-be dreadful event! hahahaha! i dont know guys, but those scenes are hilarious! XD

now, let's talk about the characters.
first, the cold-blooded vampire guy, edward. i never had any interest on him, and yeah, it lasts 'till now. i cant say he's a handsome man but i also cant say that he's not good-looking. well, i think i kinda dont like his lips because it looks awesomely red and kinda too contrast with his pale face. well, maybe that's because he's a vampire who -obviously- drinks bloods whatsoever. hahahaha.
next, isabella swan. pretty. yup. my opnion about her hasn't even slightly changed. she's just pretty and she has such a weird personality, hahaha. she just can't live as a normal girl. she loves to be in danger and to deal with strange creatures! hahahaha! i kinda think that she's the cause of all problems occured in the movie.. yeah, she's in love with a vampire, and a werewolf (which is vampire-slaughterer) fell in love with her. of course, we're talking about edward and jacob. hahaha. love triangle, so common.
last, jacob. at first he looked like a forest-man (hahahah wth! i mean, someone like tarzan, hahha) with his long hair and mongolian face! i and my friend said something like, "why a lot of people think that he's handsome? i cant disagree more!" you know, his long hair is so annoying, hahaha. but halfway of the movie, when he has already cut his hair.. i and my friend began to say "uhm, you know, i think he's quite handsome this way..." and i said "you can say that again" (wth! dont you think this conversation is like a listening-test in toefl? hahaha!) you know, his muscular body is quite captivating too! hahaha! jacob-virus attacks! XD

CONAN MOVIE 13 - THE RAVEN CHASER

huwaaah, just watched this movie yesterday. well, because it's hiatus time for johnny's boys so now i'm (again) in the middle of anime fangirling! hahahaha! so for you who havent heard of this one, it's the latest conan the movie (13th!) which was aired in April (Japan). the plot, it's quite good. (but i still prefer the 12th, hehe). the case is related to the black organization. obviously, that's what makes this movie interesting.

the story began with Conan's nightmare. in that dream, he saw Gin knowing his true identity. he woke up because in his dream, Ran was about to be shot by Gin. after it, the story continued with the children's (Conan, Ai, Mitsuhiko, Ayumi, and Genta) trip with professor Agasa. they went to seek for beetles. when searching for them, they found a strange beetle whose wings are taped.

meanwhile, a series of murder was found by the police. because the scale of those murders spreaded through several regions, so the head police inspector made a meeting in which all of the officers from each district came. Kogoro Mouri was also called to assist the police in order to solve that case.when the meeting was held, Conan and Ran accompanied Kogoro to the police office. there, Conan found out that one of the attendant of the meeting was a member of the black organization. in other word, one of the organization's member has guised as one of the police officers.

Conan realized that in a way, that case is related to the black organization. Hence, Conan followed the case with the help from Kogoro and searched for the truth by himself. one time, he met Vermouth who guised as a hostage. Conan kept asking her about the case and finally he came up with a conclusion that the suspect has a chip of the organization's NOC (Non-official cover) data.

one of the organization's member named Irish actually had a lot of interest in Conan. Irish made a lot of research over Conan and finally he could get the fingerprints of both Conan and Shinichi (which is, of curse, the same). by that time, Irish knew that Conan Edogawa and Shinichi Kudo is one person. Conan who smelt a rat about the looting of his fingerprint knew that his identity had already been revealed. he decided to get the chip as soon as he could so that he could keep Irish's mouth shut.

well, enough of the review, i'm too lazy to write more, hahahaha. overall, this movie is awesome and i love it so much! hahahaha! (since i hvent been into anime recently so i was so hyper when wtcing this one, hehehe!) XD

All Exams!!!

2009-11-12T19:17:00.000+07:00

hey there. hahahahahahahaahahahahahahaha. i dont know what to say, hehe. because you know, university exam is getting nearer and also the national exam. i've decided to enter a social science's major in university though i'm an exact science student in my school. oh this is so stressing because i have to study both of the subjects; social sciences for university exam, and exact sciences for national exam. wow. and you know what? the national exam is gonna be held only two days after the university exam! what the heck! can't believe it? me too. hahaha. i wish this is not happening. T.T

another frustating thing. next week is my try out week in school. and the score i'll get in the try out will be counted as my semester report's score. whoawwww! i have to work hard for this and there's no time to think about anything else~! kkkyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa~~ wish me luck :D

yabai, i think i gotta go now. my laptop's battery is running out, hahahaha!

Killua Zaoldyeck

2009-11-08T00:17:00.001+07:00

huwah, he's my favourite comic character but i haven't talked about him in here. i think now is the best time to tell you who this awesome guy is. hahahaha.

Name : Killua Zaoldyeck
Age : 12
Birthday : 15 June
Blood Type : A
Weight : 45 kg
Height : 158 cm
Home : Kukullu Mountain, Padokia Republic
Ability : Durability, Speed, Mind, Killing Skill, Electricity
Weapon : His bare hands, yo-yo (in greed island)
Nen Type : Henka
Number of Siblings : 4 (Yellmy, Myllki, Alluka, Kallt or abbreviated as Yellmyllkilluallukallt))
Father's Name : Syllva Zaoldyeck
Mother's Name : Kkkyau
Granddad's Name : Zeno Zaoldyeck
Grand-granddad's Name : Mahha Zaoldyeck
Pet : Mike (A huge dog which works like a robot and can only be stopped by family members)
Maids : Goto (Head butcher), Kanaria (Gate Keeper), Zeburo (Mike's assistant, Key holder)
Favourite Food : Kokorobokun, sweets

okay, his name is Killua Zaoldyeck. he belongs to a huge family of assassins. actually he has the greatest potential to be a professional assassin among all of his siblings, but he didn't want to become one. he personally doesn't have his personal reason. it's just because he didn't want his own life to be decided by his parents. he wanted to have a free 'my own pace' life. in order to run from his family, Killua decided to leave the house and entered the hunter exam. there, he met a lot of new friends and experiences. in the greed island, he did some specialization with his own nen, and at that time, he decided to materialize electricity from his nen. in the end, he had a weapon which is a yo-yo. but well, at the chimaera ants chapter, he didn't use it anymore. therefore, he used his bare hands again. the difference between his bare hands at the earlier chapters with the ones in the last chapters is, at the last chapters, he could use electricity with his own hands. cool. hehehe :D

The Smell Of Excitement

2009-11-07T23:29:00.000+07:00

yay~! today was so fun! i went to my extra course and when i got there, i was already coming late. and i had passed an hour of indonesian language subject. i didn't know that the class should begin earlier because i hadn't been informed. well yeah, so the main point is that i was coming late. hahahaha.

after the course ended, there was another special training for me, actually it was a detached part of the course but somehow it was still related to my course. hahaha. i don't know how to explain it. well, maybe i can explain it a bit. it's a program which is detached from the main program of my course. in that program, we can study more for the university exam. we can choose between science or social science. actually it was just like a normal extra course program, but the alumnus of my course are the ones who take the responsibility of everything in that program. wow, such a tiring and complicated explanation. hahahaha.

at that special program i met many of new friends. well, i met my old junior high school friends too, hehehe. and you know, my 'sister' in my organization was the one who teaches economics! whoah, so cool right? besides, i did have so much fun. first, my 'crazy' friend in school was coming today, so somehow i felt a lot more happy. she also did so many jokes back then. hahaha. she made me laugh a lot. yeah, extremely hilarious. hahaha. next, i was also cracking jokes with my other 'guy' friends. hahahaha. they were also hilarious. and you know what, i have this friend of mine who somehow looks like ohkura sho (in atashinchi no danshi)! hahahaha! no... he's not that handsome, but his style kinda remind me of him! hahahahaha! and i also made friend with a looks-like-a-funny-guy! hahaha! and then my father picked me up tonight, and i went home with risna. hehehe.

Time Killer, Yamapi's New PV

2009-10-31T09:05:00.000+07:00

hell-o. i am a murder. because now i'm killing my time, since i am at my school an i've got nothing to do. well, i am so proud to be myself who came on time today. hahaha! (because i rarely do this :P) but you know what befall on me when i'm not coming late? the plenary is postponed. whoaw. i have been here since 8.20 AM even though the meeting supposed to be initiated at 08.30 AM. and now, it's already 8.45, and i got an info which told me that it is going to be postponed 'till 9.30. what the heck! i loathe this so much. another unpleasant thing is, i couldn't connect to the internet via my school's wireless network. therefore, i should use my own modem. well, that's not a big deal though. hahahaha.

anyway, as i said yesterday, i have many errands to do today. hm, i am puzzled about which event i should be in. i have thought of doing all of them but well, that doesn't suit my personality (lazy! =.=) hahahahaha. but yeah, i think i have to go through this. i will do my best for everything! yay! ^^ (yamapi biassed)

hm... ah, and i have a really great info for yamapi's fans out there. you know that he's gonna release his second solo single titled 'loveless' right? and the great info is that now he has already came out with the PV (still the short version though)! hohohohoo ^^ i was so glad to know it. it's now available on youtube! by the way, let me tell you a secret. i really do have a news-and-yamapi-sense! hahahaha. what the heck is that? well, that sense accounts for my ability to have a sensitivity toward the updates of them. like, i haven't been online for a week, and then one day i really do want to online. and luckily, when i'm checking about them, i will find their newest updates! hahahaha! and usually, the updates are the real new ones. in this case, i found out today about yamapi's new pv and the videos had only been posted yesterday. hahaha! lucky!

Today's Great End, Tomorrow's Plan, Sushi?

2009-10-30T23:28:00.001+07:00

hey there. i come back! hahaha! just arrived home, coming from my extra-friday-class course. today only a few of the students came. to be precise, there were only 4 students out of 8. somehow i find it great, because less students is better, hahaha. certainly, less students means that you can learn with more concentration, more focus on the subject.hahaha. today we discussed our last prediction test which consists of 3 sections (just like the original TOEFL) listening, structure, and reading. the structure and reading parts were taken from the previous original test, whereas the listening part was taken from the cd of longman's TOEFL book. well, when i was doing the test, i really didn't expect to get a good score, because honestly, the test was way harder than the first prediction test. i even thought that i would get a worse score. but you know what? when my teacher gave me the result, it was surprisingly good! i got a higher score than before! hahahaha! and finally, i could reach the 600s! hahaha! though it's only 607, but at least i could exceed it! i'm exuberant! hehehe :D well, i'm planning to get a better score at the last test, which is going to be held on 9th November, and i think i do have a chance because my progress has always been ascending from the beginning. and i hope i can keep it up. ah and of course, i'd love to get a way better score at the real international test! ganbarimasu yo~ ^^ and wish me luck!

by the way, about tomorrow's plan... i think tomorrow will be a quite busy day. early in the morning, i have to attend to a plenary session at school, since 8.15 AM till 4 PM. and at 4.10 PM, i should go to my course. at the same time, actually i have an organization meeting at a friend's house from 8.00 AM till night. i probably won't go there though actually i have to. or, i wont go to my extra course. none of those ways is good for me, hahaha. but yeah, i really do have to go to the plenary session and i can give no excuses to avoid that.hehehe. demo, zettai ganbarimasu yo~! because it's my last official activity for my organization! ^^

change of topic. hahaha. i really do wanna tell you about sushi resto. well, i haven't been trying a lot of them though, hahaha. well, actually my sushi culinary-journey had begun when i was in the 2nd year of junior high school. at that time, i went to singapore and there, my auntie brought to a sushi resto me. (hey, it's grammatically correct though the sentence sounds strange! hahaha *just learned it today, fufufu*) the resto was genki sushi. that was the first time i ate sushi! (what a shame!). eh no! just realized that i had eaten sushi at that time! actually the first time i ate sushi was when i was still in the elementary school! i went to a japanese restaurant and i ordered an ebi tempura, but they also gave me sushi as side dish. but i didn't ate them at a particularly sushi resto. so, i think it's uncounted. when i ate sushi at genki sushi, i found them very good and tasty. especially the inari ones. hahahaha. well, after that time, i got to some other restaurants, like sushi groove, sushi tei, a-sushi-resto-which-i-forgot-the-name, and sushi ya. that last one is the recent one. for me, all of those restaurants are good. but if i have to make a choice... i think sushi groove and sushi ya are better. well, it's according to the restaurants i went to (which is just a few), hahahaha! why? because the tastes are more delicious! hahahahaha!

anyway, i went to sushi-ya only a few days ago. (or a week ago?) it was the first time i try to eat sushi there. actually i went there with my best-friends and one of them is the one who suggested to me going to that place. and i admit, she gave me a great suggestion ^^. well, i and those friends had been to sushi tei together too, and they found the sushi at sushi ya are better than at sushi tei. i think that's because when we were at sushi-ya, we ordered some fusion sushi while at sushi tei, we ordered the original ones. of course, our indonesian tongue will accept the fusion better. hahahaha. when we ate there, we went with sumo-mayo, dragon rolls, spider a-ma-bobs, and some other sushi which i forgot the name. hahaha. we also ordered gyoza, yakitori, and miso soup. the miso soup was not really satisfying because it was just like miso soup we can have at hoka-hoka bento. but the gyoza and yakitori were awesome. i love them. hahaha. for the dessert, we ordered the ogura ice-cream and that one was great too. hahahaha. of course, we ate all of them ravenously. and you know what? now i'm drooling just to type about those foods. hahahaha! now i really want to have sushi but well, i'm broke. so i think i won't be able to have them for this while. T.T

i'm contemplating a way to get more money right now. 'cause seriously, i can't save anything for now. man, i'm such a lavish girl.. hahahaha!

jaaa, i think i gotta go to sleep now! bye bye and see you again guys ^^

Busy Busy Busy

2009-10-30T18:13:00.000+07:00

wow. today i took my remedial section for my mid-term biology exam. actually the questions are not really hard, but what a pity... i couldn't answer some questions. actually i think it's normal since we haven't even discussed those questions before and those matters are not explained in our text book. but yeah, i am still so disappointed. before the fixation, i and my friends were even studying with Riedha (she won the bronze medal for national biology olympiad this year! ^^ sugoooii!) and that's coming in very handy. hahaha! ah and let me tell you one funny thing! during the exam, i was being supervised by one of my bio teacher. i haven't been taught by him and i think i will never be (because the teachers for my 12th class have already been fixed, haha!). and you know why? during the test he kept calling my name every time i wanted to do something. like, handed in the absent to him and asked him if we can go home earlier when we've finished. and the utter strange thing is when i had finished, i left the class and he called me and said 'hey, (my name) dont forget to pray first!'. i was like 'huh?' and then i said, 'y.. yes, sir!' hahahahaha! that's so awkward! i think he recognized me as someone else! hahahaha! XD

change of topic, tomorrow i'll do a plenary session at school. oh, that's quite frustating because i'm too lazy to do it. hahaha. but well, that's in my responsible so i have to. hahaha. *expressionless smile*. another unpleasant thing is, the session will begin at 07.30 AM and will end at 04.00 PM! that's a pain in the neck! god...

by the way, i gotta go! time for english-course-ing now, hahaha! bye bye~ ^^

PE

2009-10-29T07:39:00.001+07:00

hey there. now i'm sitting on my school bench. wanna know why? because.. i'm not PE-ing. hahaha. silly. well, actually now is PE class, but i don't bring my PE suits (i lose them, though. hahaha). hmm, and i have to wait here, watching my friends running and jumping and running and blah blah blah. not luring at all. hm, after this, it should be math.. and i haven't done my assignment. huufff... i planned to do it during this supposed-to-be-free hour, but as you know, i can't. ah, i wish this will end soon. anyway, after school i'll have a group study, hahaha. what a diligent girl.

Buzzer Beat and Atashinchi No Danshi

2009-10-24T10:36:00.000+07:00

BUZZER BEAT

yeah, yamapi's newest drama in 2009.. what should i say, eh? actually i think it will be great if they reduce the number of 'kissing scenes' in this drama... hahahaha! because it has so so so many kissing scenes and i hate that! hahahaha! but well, actually the plot is good, and i really do like the 'salute' pose, hhehe. maa, most of yamapi's dramas have their own unique pose though :). hmmm, the lover's situations are kinda complicated too.. but over all, this is a great romance drama, hehe. i love riko's character in the drama, because she's funny. and the great thing is that she was paired with naoki which is also quite funny, hahaha. and both of them had a promise : not to give up on their dreams. that's really cool, right? hmmm, i love the tag line too 'love makes me strong' hehehe. somehow it's so awesome and matched with the story. but ...for me, the ending (in the SP) is kinda not-satisfying because it's too common. i prefer the ending of prodai... hahaha. a great lesson i can get : 'never give up on your dreams!'

ATASHINCHI NO DANSHI

maaa, now it's time for a funny yet sad drama! hehehehe! hmmm, the main character is Horikita Maki, as Chisato, and the leading-guy character is Ohkura Sho, which was played by Osamu Mukai. The main idea of this drama is a 'family'. It is about a girl named Chisato (Horikita Maki) who somehow had to marry an old guy named Ohkura Shinzou, because the guy had paid her debt. In order to be free from her debt, Chisato not only had to marry the guy, but also take care of the guy's adopted children, and be their mom. all of the children are guy, and they had no interest in having a mom. But as time flies, all of them had experienced a lot of things and were bounded by a really deep relationship called 'family'.

this drama is awesome and so touching! i love all of the characters because they all have their own unique style. the family has such a diverse people, from a mail-sender to a very-young stock-holder. and all of them really likes to fight with each other! hahaha! hmmm, what else eh? the story is so funny too, LOTS of funny scenes! especially the scenes of Inoue-san (which is the maid of Ohkura family)! hahahaha! But as i said before, it can also make me cry A LOT!! overall, this drama is GREAT! the ending really moved me too! somehow it's like a new version of My Boss My Hero~!

and i found two adorable guys here, Osamu Mukai and Sato Koji! Kyaaaaaaaaa! They're so cute~!!!

great lesson i can get : 'your home, your family'

because i finished watching both of them on a same day, so.... if i have to make a comparison between those two dramas.... sorry yamapi, but i choose Atashinchi No Danshi! Hehehehe! XD

Kagami Seira!!! (yeah, apparently dating Yamapi)

2009-10-13T21:47:00.000+07:00

I wanna share some info about my brand-new IDOL!! hahahahaha!!! well, as you can read on the title, i said that she's apparently dating yamapi, right? well, maybe that's true, hahaha. it's an a bit out-dated news though. the rumor spreads widely about in september '09. because of that rumour, i searched for any info regarding their relationship. and of course, her personal info, hahaha. and then i saw one of her music vid, titled 'kaleidoscope'. in that vid she was so cute. and then i saw her other music vid titled 'first sight ft. ryohei', and i fell in love with that song! hahahaha! it took a quite long time for me to search for her mp3, and i ended up downloading her full single which includes 'super special' in it. and yesterday, i downloaded her first full-album titled 'celebration' and i don't regret it, hahaha. because her songs are cool. well, not all of them, but overall they're still cool. her voice is beautiful too, because she has such a (for me) quite low-pitched voice, unlike a lot of other japanese female singers. and she's so pretty! hahahaha! maybe next i will post a review of her album, hehehehe ^^

well, here's some info i gathered about her :
ah! and, i was so shocked because i didn't find anything about her when i checked in wikipedia! man! her page doesn't even exist in wikipedia!

K-Pops? Nooooooooooooo!!

2009-08-24T16:25:00.006+07:00

oh man, i cant belive it! now i'm a bit, slightly addicted to k-pop! okay, okay calm down.. it's not like i've became a fangirl of DBSK/ShiNee/BBF or whatever that's so korean, hahahaha. but now i like SNSD a.k.a Girls Generation! it's SM Town's girlband which consists of 9 pretty hot cute WOMEN! hahahaha!!! yeah!! they're not boys!! please dont think that i'm a lesbian, hahaha. i just like them.. because they're cute and their songs are not bad. well, i only listen to 2 of their songs though, hehehe. they're gee and genie.. and in the mvs they're so pretty~! noooo!! i cant believe this! well, because, you know, i'm such a japanese lover and.. kind of an anti-korean one, hahahaha! my brother is the one who should be blamed for introducing me to SNSD.. hahahaha! he once showed me their mv and at first i was like 'noo noo noooo! i dont like koreans!' but after watching it i was like 'well, okay, yeah, they're cute and quite good' hahahahaha! that's the attraction of SNSD! and you know what?! today i showed their mvs to my friends! before showing them the mvs, i first made them listen to the song. and they didnt like it at all. they said that it's such a weird song and bla bla bla. but when i showed them 'the beautiful power of SNSD' (i mean, the mvs hahahaha) they said that snsd is not that bad. hahahaha. XD okay now i'll show you how beautiful they are, hehehe :

have you noticed that they all have such a greatly shaped body and beautiful face? cute right? hahahahaha! they look like barbies~! but sadly, i heard rumours about them which said that they all did some plastic surgeries.. well, that's none of my business though! hahahahaha! they're still so pre-pre-pretty~! hehehe!

2009-08-21T19:05:00.000+07:00

yay! i'm at the mosque in front of my house.. what i mean by 'in front of the house' is really in front of my house. i only have to go across the road, and here i am, hahaha. so near, right? but though it's that near, i'm still so lazy to pray in here. i prefer to pray in house rather than at here. hahaha. btw, now is the first day of ramadhan. since islamic days begin when the sun sets, so today already is the first day of the holy month. and i will begin fasting tomorrow, hehe. hmm, gotta go because the azan already calling, haha. what a short one eh? maybe i'll write again at late night. bye bye. :D

Being Late

2009-08-12T07:18:00.002+07:00

have been sitting on the school yard since 6.35 am. yeah, coming late to school. what the heck. this new rule of my school really messes me up. i never used to get up early so i wake up late every morning. besides, i also have to take the public transportation which sometimes is driven by slowpokes. it sucks. well, the positive thing i can get is just having time to study because today i have many tests.. sorry, gotta go or the teacher will notice me for doing something like this, haha. bye :D

OHNOOO!

2009-08-11T13:04:00.001+07:00

i'm going to face my -- oftenly said -- extra super very hard chemy test! wish me extra super very luck! hahaha.

English English More English !

2009-08-05T17:34:00.002+07:00

huwaaaa! i really really really want to acquaint more about english! eigo eigo eigo! i'm carving for more and more english! hahaha! wth was that?! XP errr, to be honest, i once read a blog of my friend.. and that blog is MAGNIFICENT! i found lots of english vocabs that i didnt even know that i didnt know those words! hahahaha! this friend of mine's blog is super cool. beside of her numerous vocabs, i scarcely found grammatical errors in her posts! she's so super really very awesome in english, if i may say, hahaha! and because of that necessity, now i'm reading two english books which i have since about two years ago! hahaha! even though those books are not hard books to read, but at least i found more and more unknown vocabs, hehe! well, i have read one of them but i was still a super moron when i was reading it, so i only understood the bottomline of the story and didnt even know about the details. why? because when i was reading it, i always passed every single word that i didnt know. so the result is.. i didnt learn any of new vocabs. hemm, yeah. it was a big mistake. but that's okay, hehe. because now i have an enormous determination to learn english! yeay!

let me tell you about the books i'm talking about. the first one is 'the series of unfortunate events' by lemony snicket and the other one is 'invisible detectives' by justin richards. the book which i've read is the first one. and now, i always look up in the dictionary every time i found any word which is difficult to me. well, yeah, because of my terrible english, so i have to look up, like, thousand times only to finish two or three pages of those wide-spacing books. hahaha! sweet, right? but that's okay, i will do this till the very end! that's when i've grasped my dream!! hahahahaha!! errr, just wish me luck because i'll try to enter the japanese government's scholarship program, hahaha! ^^

Bored (again)

2009-08-03T13:49:00.006+07:00

hello, it's islamic subject now. if i wanna be a good pupil, i supposed to listen to my friend's presentation but somehow i'm not into studying today. moreover, it's super boring in my class. i didnt have classes since the first recess until the second one. the teachers didnt come. hence, i was so bored and slept almost all the time. at first, i didnt want to go to school, but my mom encouraged me to come. so, here i am, bored by all the utterly boring subjects, haha.

hemm, to be honest, i didnt want to go to school because i'm so tired. yesterday i went out of town in order to join my organization's event. though the commitees are not numerous, but the event was succes. we had lots of fun and played great games. we did outbond twice in two days, haha. maybe that's why i'm so exhausted. but i was exuberant! moreover, i met a friend of mine who often does funny (or silly) things! hahaha. we also took a train to go home. it's an air-conditioner-ed economy train. when i saw the train's front-side. i read this 'shibuya express' plat. so it's a japanese train. inside the train, i also saw japanese sentence. maybe it's an announcement or something. i couldnt read it since it has lots of kanji! haha. but too bad, even though it's a japanese train but the facilities are not so good. the ac is not cool enough so there were some fans hanging at the ceiling. well, maybe it'll be more convenient if there are less people inside the train. because, unlike japanese, the trains in indonesia are always so crowded. and another vexing thing is that the train's station is super dirty. huwah, we have loads of ignorant people here in our country. T.T

what else, eh? today is the first day of the national olympics. it lasts for a week and my bestfriend participated in that event. for precise, it's biology. i really wish her the best, hehe. good luck, friend! ^^

Boring...

2009-07-20T15:25:00.001+07:00

hey there.. i'm waiting for my uncle to come.. huh, this is mega super boring since i have to wait in the mosque infront of my house because my house is locked. the key is brought by my uncle! uuuhh i hate this!

btw, let me tell you about what did i do this whole day. actually i slept over my friend's house last night. and this morning, i and my best friends went to a senior's wedding party. at first, we were quite confident about our appearance but when we got to the place, we were embarrased because our outfits were too informal, haha! after that, we went to eat sushi in a mall. my friend treated us all, hehehe. then, we planned to go somewhere else, but my friend's mother called and told her not to go, so we went by ourselves. one of my friend went to a bookstore, another one went to a mall to have a meeting, and i went home. that's it, hahahaha. today was so fun but now it's super boring.. T.T

okay then, bye! :D

First Week In Third Grade

2009-07-17T19:30:00.003+07:00

hello! hahahahaha. i dont know why but today i'm so happy xD great! well, i just passed the first week of school. quite good. well, not really good but just fine.

for now, my class is not as comfortable as my former class. that's why everytime i go out from class during the break time and see my former classmates, i'll be so excited and chat a lot with them, hahahahaha! to tell you the truth, i really miss my former class... i miss our games, jokes, movies, laughter, etc! that awesome class is always in my mind! maybe until now my feelings toward my former class is still so deep, that's why i still cant accept the different situation in my new class. but, everything just went well. so i still consider my new class as okay. i made friends with new people. i also laughed a lot during classes, though it's not as loud as i usually did in my 2nd grade class, hehe.

hmmm, the good thing is, i'm learning japanese now, haahahaha. that's good because i love japan and i really want to study japanese. japanese is such a great language. i love how japanese people pronounce their language. and i love the letters too. hiragana, katakana, and kanji. somehow, kanji is really cool for me (even though they are originally from china, not japan). my sensei said that kanji are not letters. they are more likely considered as drawings or symbols. so, that's not right to say that kanji are letters! hahahahaha. today i learned about 'aisatsu' or 'greetings', from arigatou to gochisousama deshita. good XD

my japanese teacher named sensei-rizki. he is quite young for teachers and he's nice even though at first, he was a bit too clumsy. hehe. but now i've changed my opinion abut him, because today, in my japanese class, my chair-mate was out for attending a seminar and left the class, so i sat with my friend named guruh. that guy also like japan, so we had a lot of great time in the class. luckily, we sat right in front of the teacher's table which allows us to have a chat with my teacher. at that time, i realized that our teacher is such a nice person. for example, i was shocked when he said 'YES!' at the time the bell was ringing, because usually the ones who say 'YES!' when the class is over are only students. hahahahahahaha!

for another subjects.. hmmm, i've learned math, english, physics, chemy, and so on. but i'm not really interested in them so i'm lazy to write about those things, hahahaha.
okay then, bye! :)

p/s : today there were bombs at two hotels in my city!

Holiday Is Over! Noooooo!!

2009-07-12T19:12:00.005+07:00

huwaaaaa holiday is already over! today is the last day of my school holiday.. hufff i'm kinda afraid for tomorrow, though.. hahaha i know that's weird, but.. there's just a few people that i know in that class, huhuhu. the good news is, i am in the same class with my best friend and i'll take the seat right beside her for sure! but from 13th july (that's tomorrow!) till 7th august she'll not attend school because she has to prepare for her national biology olympic. and my other best friend is not in the same class with me.. huhu. i wonder how tomorrow will be.. well, maybe i'll just do the best i can! i hope tomorrow will be as great as the old days in my former class.. (that's xi ipa c!)

i really enjoyed my former class, even though the people in it are so diverse and crazy, hahahaha but the class is so unforgettable! that's the best class i ever had in my whole life! hahahaha! i had great times with my class-mates, such as doing a lot of different unique class-made-games in the class and watched tons of great movies with them! they are just simply my precious friends! every time i hang out with them, i have wonderful great time! those kids are so kind and easy-going, they'll accept you as who you really are.. i think this is the first time i really show my true-self to all of my class-mates! why, because i never thought that they'll hate me or else.. they are just a bunch of nice people! ^^

hmmm, another bad thing.. actually i'm a bit dizzy these days.. i dont know why, i've changed my glasses but it made me feel even more dizzy. so i use my old glasses, hahaha. maybe i'll just use the new one when i'm in class and i have to read something from a far. well, this dizzy thingy is so annoying! huhuhu. plus, i couldnt go to lots of holiday activities because i was sick for several days during this holiday.. i did go to my class' gathering, but after that i was so sick that i couldnt get off my bed for 2 days! ahh, and i couldn't go to my organization's great event! wth..

i'm thinking about is there any good thing happened in this holiday? hahahaha XD i dont even know, but yesterday i went to a mall and watched in cinema with my best friend.. and we ate junk-food, hahaha yummy! (maa, dont you think it's just too not-special? XD) what's more? actually i did go to a karaoke place with her too, and it's a japanese karaoke! hahaha! we sang quite a lot of NEWS' songs, but i was not satisfied with the place because the music videos are not the real ones! they were played by japanese unfamous models! hahahaha, wth!

what else? nee.. for johnny's info.. tomorrow will be the release date of yamapi's new drama.. BUZZER BEAT ~gakeppuchi no hero~! in this drama, yamapi will be playing as naoki, a member of his company's basket ball team. well, this is another lead-role for him! hahahaha. he plays with kitagawa keiko and saki aibu. in this drama, yamapi will be a basketball player and saki aibu is one of his cheerleader. she is also yamapi's girlfriend in it. and then, i dont know why, yamapi will fall in love with keiko. i dont know the rest, hahahaha. the commercials are available in youtube, hahahaha, i'm lazy to post those cms. until now, there're already 6 commercials for it. waaaa and you know what? i've seen those cms and one of them showed the kissing scene of him and saki aibu! huwaaaaa >.< i was so shocked! hahahaha. but i think there'll be loads of his kissing scenes in this drama, maybe.. hahahaha! in the other commercial, there was a scene where yamapi said something like 'ore to kekkou suru nasai' and if i'm not mistakn, it means 'please marry me' huwaaaa >.< well, i'm not really sure though, because it was just from my hearing and i dont know whether that's true or not, hehehe.

another info.. yesterday i watched yamapi's movie titled 'shounen wa tori ni natta' or 'the boy became a bird' in english. it was about a boy (played by yamapi) who has a heart disease. he could dispute the doctor's expectations which said that he'll just be able to live for several years. somehow, he can live till he was 15 years old. one thing that couraged him is wild birds, especially eagles. he wanted to gain freedom just like wild birds. but not just that, the people around him also cheer him up. such as his family, friends, and teacher. it's a sad movie and the boy died in the end. but overall, i think the movie's not really good because the story is just too guess-able, hahahaha (what a miserable english i have). but i cried quite a lot in the end, hehehehe. i couldnt bear to see yamapi dying! hahahahaha..

shounen wa tori ni natta :

next.. tegomass new single is already out! it's tanabata matsuri. the song is so cute and catchy, so does the pv. ^^ there are a lot of children in the pv, and they're so cute. they also made wishes, so did massu and tego. tego wished for world's peace and massu wished for everyone to have smile on their face. great wishes, right? well, i think this is a great single. good thing while waiting for the next news' single (hahahahaha, still no info about this, but i hope it'll come soon) XD

tegomass new single :

Code Blue Special + New Russ K CM !!!

2009-03-20T00:46:00.006+07:00

aaaaaaawwww!!! i finally watched code blue special and that was AWESOME! i cant say it in words.. hahaha! i'm speechless! that's soooo touching and i was crying for almost the half of the film!! aaaahhh!! hontou ni sugoi da yo!! okay, it's about a train-accident, and all the four doctor heli were going to the location and found out that there were so many people got injured. at that place, they must treated every person well, but every doctor got their own obstacles at that place.

shiraishi-sensei was troubled by a family who wanted to send their family member to the hospital as quickly as possible, but the patient's condition was so bad and there was just a slight chance to rescue him. moreover, there were still many other people who need to be taken to the hospital. finally shiraishi-sensei decided not to bring the guy to the hospital. and the family member were so angry at her.

asari yosuke (i only remember his real name, haha) finally had to do an operation on the spot. he was guided by kuroda-sensei in doing that. he had to operate someone's leg and finally he was able to do that OP succesfully.

hiyama-sensei was rescueing other people when suddenly the train moved and made her fell to the ground. she was seriously injured and no one knew about that till kuroda sensei saw her. it was when all doctors already finished their job and there was no other victims left on the location.

and aizawa-sensei (yamapi-san!!) had to make a hole on a child's head to let his blood come out from his brain. that was such a scary scene! he had to make the hole using a drill which usualy used for drilling steel, not human bones!! but as usual, he could make it!! :D

and.......... another good thing! NEW NEWS RUSS K CM WAS RELEASED!!
this is the link..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A14j2D1PInY

tomorrow is sunday but i have to study for math and physics exam on monday.. ahh, i'm just too lazy to do all of those.. and i'm also too lazy to write anything more than this.. so bye!! hahaha~

p.s i cant wait to watch news diamond concert tour.. but the dvd hasn't came out yet.. wth..

Math Exam and This Weekend's Plan

2009-02-26T20:19:00.003+07:00

huffff.. this morning's math exam was terrible! it was soooo hard! i couldnt answer 3 out of 16 questions!! well, i did answer all of them, but i think that 3 numbers were definitely wrong!! hahaha. but i hope miracle will come and help me out! hahaaha :) what a dream!

now i supposed to do my biology presentation task.. but i'm still waiting for emails from my friends about that task, so i havent done it yet..!

next saturday i'll go to BSD to play paintball with my classmates!! yay! i hope it'll be fun!! i cant wait for the day to come!! :D
we'll also take a photoshoot for our class' photo in the graduation book!!
it made me think about myself. now i'm already in the 2nd grade, and i supposed to be graduated next year! ummm, i dont know am i going to be happy or not.. but i think the best way to make me happy is by treasuring everyday in my school-life and making them the most unforgettable memories in my life!!! :D

hoaaaahm! i'm sleepy! i really need to take a rest! i've been so busy because of school works these days.. but it was fun! :) hahaha

My Diary?

2009-02-25T20:25:00.004+07:00

whoaaaa!! tomorrow i'll have a math exam..!!! i wish i won't take any remedials.. huhuhu.. but i haven't studied yet for tomorrow's exam! hahaha.. but i will! in the next 5 or 10 minutes i'll begin my study!! i'm going to be offline! :D

waaaahh i read yamapi's diary in facebook and i was like "aaaahhh, you're so sweet my dear pi~" huaaa!!! i really want to go to japan and meet you! can you imagine that he was taking train to go everywhere in his day-offs??!! i wonder if i'm in the same train with him! maybe i'll faint!!!! XD
and he has alredy wrote more than 2000 diaries!! whaaaa!! that's so cool! and all of news' mambers made comments for that achievement!!! cool!!!

and.. for the drama 'sore wa totsuzen arashi no you ni', i already watched it till the end.. and ummm, i think it wasn't a very good one, but also not a bad one. i think it's just standard.. i dont like the main woman-role in that drama! she's just too old for yamapi who was just 19 back then. but i like the love story, because it was so sweet and i love the way 'the husband' loves 'the wife'--->hahaha, i dont remember what were their names!

aaaahhh.. that's all for today~
konbanwa!

Sore Wa Totsuzen, Arashi No You Ni

2009-02-08T10:41:00.006+07:00

Yah!! another yamapi's drama.. hahahaha.. but, i don't really like it! i only watched one episode, though.. haha. but i don't like the woman! she's old and not pretty at all!! :(
poor yamapii.. haha. (so mean!)
but yamapi's cool and funny in there!! (he's always cool and funny though!)

this week is full of exams.. :(
so, bye!! XP

Code Blue

2009-01-25T23:40:00.002+07:00

hoaaaahhm!! it's almost 12 pm and i'm still awake (again!) hahaha.
i've just watched yamapi's dorama.. Code Blue desu.
it was so touching and i cried quite a lot.
it was sooo sad when you saw a dorama about people's life and about some doctors who tried their best to rescue another people.
and that dorama made me thinked about things like i should take care of my family while i still able to meet them everyday, and i think work is all about making another people happy and always do the best at all time and all situations.
so, code blue was a really good drama!

and yamapi has the main role in this drama! (hahahaha, again!)
he acted as kousaku aizawa sensei! he was soooo cool yet has beutiful heart!
i always love the way he cries in his dramas.. so touching and sweet! :)
in this drama, he played with aragaki yui, toda erika, and asari yosuke..
ah! the drama also has a special.. but i haven't watched it yet T_T

saa, here is the picture of yamapi as aizawa sensei (kakkoi!):

JE Craze

2009-01-23T23:48:00.003+07:00

Hoaaaaahhmm! It's already 11:50 pm and i'm still awake..
Ummm. a few days ago i joined a forum named letsjumptogether! It's a forum about JE and SM. hahaha. It's kinda interesting and i like it! yeah! i finally registered to an international forum! hahahaha.. lol

and also a few days ago, there was someone added me to her friendlist in facebook. And she's a NEWS' fan from singapore! hahaha, i am so thankful for having an internet connection.. :) i can share about my interests with other people around the world !!

umm, just now i watched KAT-TUN's dont you ever stop, and it was cool.. I couldn't believe that koki could be that cool! ahahaha.. And jin's dance was awesome! *i wonder if he and yamapi had some dance practices together since they are a really close friends!*
but i couldn't notice kame at first, coz his face was a little bit different from his face in nobuta...

oh, and i also watched NEWS exposed! the second one, with 6 members.. and it's funny! i can't stop laughing. eventough the first one was funnier.. lol
shige was so funny when he was bullied by the other members. hahaha. and ryo said that he was the real leader! -yamapi didn't even raised his hand at that time- haahahaha. and koyama's 'time slip', soo funny! he didn't seemed like yamapi (kenzo) at all!

well, this week was full of JE and JE and JE!! hahaha

*now i'm trying to learn more about Hey!Say!Jump!* lol

Translations :

This is the summer time!
Because I met you before summer began,
The best waves are coming here,
I want you to know my sweet emotion,
Won't it be okay to speed up our attack?,
I can’t wait for these beautiful days!

The sun is beckaning us,
The people gathering are rowdy,
That's when I saw you, Yeah Yeah Yeah!
It was love at first sight, Alright!
As you held your melting ice cream

Your gaze touched me a little dangerously,
Oh Yes！It made me run,
I probably want to see you tomorrow too..
Surely I can expect things to happen in summer this year!

This is the summer time!
Because I met you before summer began,
The best wave are coming here,
Because I'll say it innocently,
I'll entrust my wishes to the sea breeze

Because I met you before summer began,
If I can take you out to the sea to watch a night sky,
I want you to know my sweet emotion,
I can’t wait for these beautiful days!

Get to white sandy beach before anybody,
I wonder if you’ll be there today,
Find you at once,
keep you to myself,
I wanna get more closer

The tip of a finger touched for a moment,
Oh Yes! You noticed it,
Surely we are a miracle,
This summer I shall expect more

This is the summer time!,
Because I met you before summer began,
We'll draw our feelings in the sand,
Connected together at the same pace,
I wonder if we can walk anywhere?

I want to be with you after summer too,
I want to be with you next summer too,
I want you to show me your emotion,
Won't it be okay to strike and break through?
I can’t wait for these beautiful days!

(RAP - Not Finished)

Bam!
My heart pounding,
Love is just a super express,
My feeling get full and finest

I want to see the get zone with you who dream,
It will connect to future image,
Let’s go to secret private,
Summer time!
Let’s stay together forever

This is the summer time
Because I met you before summer began,
The best wave are coming here,
Because I'll say it innocently,
I'll entrust my wishes to the sea breeze

Because I met you before summer began,
If I can take you out to the sea to watch a night sky,
I want you to know my sweet emotion,
Won't it be okay to speed up our attack?,
I can’t wait for these beautiful days!

This is the summer time!
This is the summer time!
This is the summer time!

Akira Shock !

2009-01-18T19:59:00.005+07:00

Aaaaaaargh.. Now i'm only with my sister and my brother. My father went to Surabaya a few hours ago, and you know what?! My mother and two of my brothers went to Bali for vacation!! NANI YOO?!! T_T .

At about 6.30 pm, my mother called and she said some things like 'have you already eaten? don't forget to prepare for your school uniform...' and so on until she suddenly said : "I SAW A LOT OF JAPANESE PEOPLE HERE". Akira Shock!! I dont know why but it really shocked me. Maybe it's because i always think something like 'will i meet yamapi if i'm going with my mom to Bali?' everytime i remember that my mom is going there. Because, i once see a video of yamapi and massu surfing in an island. And in that video, there's an indonesian flag! I also have seen an article/profile about yamapi which says that Bali island is one of places he wanted to go the most. Aaaaargh yamapi-san, will i someday meet you? i really want to meet you!!

Well, get back to the topic. After i heard that statement from my mom, i excitedly asked "Are they looked like celebrities?" but my mom just answered with something like 'i dont know'. Aaaaargh, because i'm very anxious to find out about it, i immediately opened yamapi's diary in Facebook. And what i read at first is about HE IS GOING HOME FROM SOMEWHERE. And the second thing i saw is that NEWS' members are GOING TO A PLACE IN SOUTHERN COUNTRY TO MAKE A NEW CM. o_O. And the worst thing is Yamapi-san DIDN'T WRITE ANYTHING ABOUT THE EXACT PLACE. But, i did see a comment from a fan who said that they were going to Hawaii. Well, it is the fan's assumption, but i hope it's true.. Haha, because i will be soooo depressed if they really are going to Bali and i wasn't there whereas some of my family were there!

Yamapi-san, atashi wa kimi no koto hontou ni suki daaa!!

Bye :)

Hunter X Hunter

2009-01-16T21:14:00.006+07:00

Hunter X Hunter, have you heard about this? It is an anime (japanese cartoons) and a manga (japanese comics) which was made by Yoshihiro Togashi. This is my fave comic and anime. Recently i read the mangascans until chapter 290. I can't wait for the next chapter!

The story is about a young boy named Gon (12 years old) who wants to be a hunter (in this manga world, a hunter is not as same as a real hunter who hunts for animals etc, but a hunter hunts for ancient things, money, humans, human's anatomies, etc). Gon wanted to be a hunter because his father was also a hunter and he wanted to search for his father. So, he decided to attend in a hunter's exam which was held once a year by the Hunter Association. In this exam, Gon met a lot of strong people and he became friends with some of them. The first person who attracts him a lot was a boy (12 years old) named Killua. He also became friends with a guy named Curapikt (Kurapika) and an old guy named Leorio. From that time, all of them went to a lot of places and they experienced a lot of things. So, this is a comic and anime about friendships.

What A Wonderful Class

2009-01-16T14:40:00.004+07:00

Yeah, now i'm in my class in my 'new' school. Only 17 people attend to the class today. Haha, i only studied for 40 minutes since the first subject. It's math and now it supposed to be biology but the teacher doesn't come because of sickness. Actually i have nothing to do so i decided to grab my phone and write on this brand-new-blog which only has 5 posts in it, haha.

During break time, i and my friends went to a mall near this building. I searched for some japanese dvds but i couldn't find any of them that interests me. Well, i did find one of yamapi's dorama titled 'Code Blue', but i think i'm just going to buy it in another mall.

Now my history teacher has come. I'm going to study for another 20 minutes. After this, it should be physics, chemistry, and.. The school will ends.. Hahaha.

Well, now my physics teacher has come and you know what? Before she (my teacher) come to my class, i and almost all of my friends hide under the table, and after my teacher come into my class for a while, we come out from under the table out of blue. Hahaha. I hope it suprised her and make her a lit tle bit happier because of that. Well, because at first, she looked a little dissapointed because maybe she thinked that only a few people attend to her class, haha. Well, got to get back to physics guys! Ja! Bye :)

What A Hot And Uncomfortable Place

2009-01-16T10:19:00.003+07:00

Oh my God.. Now i'm in my new school's building (Not actually a new one, haha. Coz my school just borrowed this building for several days since my school can't be used because of flood). And this place is a little bit hot, but i haven't checked my class yet, so i still don't know about its condition. Hopefully my teachers don't come today so i can just relaxing and playing around for the rest of the day, hahaha. Well, thats all for today, see you! :)
