Prayer for Today

I asked for strength.....
And God gave me difficulties to make me strong.

I asked for wisdom.....
And God gave me problems to solve.

I asked for prosperity.....
And God gave me a brain and brawn to work.

I asked for courage.....
And God gave me obstacles to overcome.

I asked for love.....
And God gave me troubled people to help.

I asked for favors.....
And God gave me opportunities.

I received nothing I wanted.....
But I received everything I needed.

Live life without fear,
confront all obstacles and................
Know that you can overcome them.

Take Time

Take time to work,
it's the price of success.

Take time to think,
it's the source of power.

Take time to play,
it's the secret of perpetual youth.

Take time to read,
it's the foundation of wisdom.

Take time to be friendly,
it's the road to happiness.

Take time to dream,
it's hitching your wagon to a star.

Take time to pray,
it's the greatest power on earth.

Take time to love and be loved,
it's a God-given privilege.

Take time to look around,
it's too short a day to be selfish.

Take time to laugh,
it's the music of the soul.

Akhirnyaaa... setelah beberapa kali "channel surfing" on the radio, or gonta-ganti radio station muncul juga lagunya Fort Minor (FM) that is "Believe Me"!! :) Senangnyaaaa...!

Oia.. gw lagi sakit perut ginih (monthly cramps) teteup gw "diseret" ma nyokap ke ITC Fatmawati. Emang sih gw yg ajakin minggu lalu in the 1st place, tapi gw gak tau hari ini gw bakal "dapet" (ya iyalah... emang gw peramal O_o!) Cuma hari ini sih nyokap ada waktunya, jadi te2p gw jalanin. Tapi sebelum gw berangkat gw balurin Minyak Tawon (label putih kalo ga salah)dari Makassar ke perut gw... Gilaaa! Ampuh banget! Sakti tuh minyak tawon...! Gw biasanya mules2nya minta ampun.. ini gak begitu sakit! Tapi jadinya gw keliling2 ITC bau minyak tawon gituh bukannya wangi strawberry perfume atau apa keq ^____^; sampe2 ada Mbak2 penjual baju bilang, "Koq bau minyak tawon ya?" gw diemin aja, pura2 gak tau (n_n)v

Truz kemaren kan gw ke toko sepatu Donatello @ Wijaya I ama nyokap, dan gw dapet 1 pasang sandals hak tinggi (yg gak tinggi2 amet) + 1 tas warna biru, ibu dapet 2 pasang sandal. Hari ini ke ITC Fatmawati gw dapet pashmina warna biru muda gradasi ke biru tua yang senada dengan baju Lebaran gw yg gw beli di PIM beberapa minggu yang lalu, truz gw juga beli 1 lagi baju Muslimah & celana matching warna kuning. Ternyata bagus juga gw pake kuning... biasanya biru melulu. Ibu dapet 2 baju & 1 celana (kalo gak salah) & kita beliin 2 baju + 2 celana hamil buat Tante Inge... YUP! she's pregnant ;) Padahal Puputnya udah kelas 3SMA & Tasya udah 1SMP, mo ada ade'nya lagi (n_n)

Sore kami ke rumah Pung Mama tuk buka puasa bersama. Tapi ade gw (Ikhsan) pergi pesantren kilat ama skulnya, truz Mom and Dad had to attend buka puasa bersama di rumahnya Mr.M (identitas dirahasiakan^_^). Jadiiii... Mom and Dad dropped me and the food off Pung Ma's house, and then they went to Mr.M's house. After Maghrib they came back to Pung Ma's house. Kalo dipiki-piki, hari ini lengkap juga anak2 dan menantunya Pung Ma, yang masih alive, terkumpul..

Oia..as usual I played with the Twins, Dee-dee and Lala... huehehe.. lutunaaaaaaa... *gemes*

Ramadhan Gathering Evaluation Meeting (Eva)

I reserved a room for the 1PM meeting from 11:30AM. Gunanya tuh biar gw ada tempat buat nunggu (hehehe...) plus biar yg cowo2 bisa nitipin barang2 mereka di ruangan pas mereka sholat jumat. Eh pada salah paham.. pada ngira rapatnya jam 11:30 ^_^ gak mungkinlah Eva cuma 1/2 jam.

After Friday prayer, we had the Eva @ 1PM with Itank, Putri, Asta and Ginting presenting @ the front & Fahmy as the computer operator. I was satisfied with what they've done for the Ramadhan Gathering and Sahur on the Road, 'xcept for da nitty-gritty things... small things but still important. Hope that they'll learn from their mistakes :)

Nindya's ill with the fever... I think it's b'coz of the AC in 407. Cuz we spent most of our time in 407 yesterday ^_^ @4:30PM today I was s'posed 2 attend the "buka puasa bersama" @JWC with the BiNus JWC staff & lecturers and other students, but since Nindya was ill and I had a sudden family thing to attend, I went home with Mom. Later on it turns out that Titi attended the event & said that it was funny coz there was a 2009 kid wearing "baju gamis" & jadi perhatian semua orang karena kayak orang Arab... wah, pasti Fahmy itu! Siapa lagi yang tampangnya Arab gituh?! Udah gitu penceramahnya ngajak dia ngobrol pake bahasa Arab tapi Fahmy-nya kagak ngerti... ya iyalah, dia Arabnya gak asli, Arab Pasar Minggu... ^_^

Oia...! Uang baru udah ada nich... 50rb warna biru & 10rb warna ungu... kayak uang Monopoly. Coba aja lo deretin 10rb, 20rb, 50rb & 100 ribuan...kayak uang mainan (O_o)!

7th Sem. Mid Exam

Thursday, Oct.20, 2005
Went 2 campus w/ Dad in da wee morning.. @ about 6:30AM or so I arrived @ campus. Sat in front of 307 in da hallway & prepared my laptop to study from da slides. I saw my position for da exam was... Numero Dos...or wat u know as #2, in front of the examiner (pengawas). #1 was Eko Prabowo by da way... I tawt da exam was gonna be 3 hours long... so I studied da slides just by glancing, I mean I didn't have much time, my exam was @ 9! It's not like I didn't study @ all, but I only read da book..haven't read da slides... I was a bit freakin' out but sumhow I had a feeling dat evrything will be juz fine...no problemo... Turns out my feeling was rite, the exam was only 75 minutes!! (O_o); After my exam, while waiting for Nindya, I installed 3ds max and Maya. When Nindya arrived, I went downstairs 2 meet Mas Deni (accompanied by Nindya) who is the staff of BiNus JWC who's also da PIC in Friday's Buka Puasa (Fri, Oct.21st). After talkin' to him about da participation of BMS in it, Nindya and I went 2 da back lobby 2 see people playin' foosball. Oh mee oh my...what a disaster the foosball table looked like! And on the way there we met Itank who was hiding behind Ivan. What the heck's wrong with him?! O_o Turns out he didn't finish the report for 2moro's Eva ^___^; And so I told him that the report doesn't have to be too much & that he doesn't need to worry...

Now while I was talkin' to him I was also fiddlin' around wif my cellphone... and suddenly it was in a "hang state"! (nge-hang gitu lohh) I mean when I pushed a button, the screen became blank for a sec then back to normal, but when I checked on my MMC folder, nothing was detected by my cell!! AAARRRGGGGGHHH!!!! Since Itank's cell is the same type as mine, I asked him if his cell has ever been like that. He told me to turn it off, take my MMC out and put it back in, then turn it on again.. ['tank u didn't see my PIN did u(~.~)!] VOILA!!! It was back to normal... if he didn't tell me dat at that second, I might've freaked out (in the last couple of days I've become a bit "panicky" and sensitive, makanya gw mungkin bisa freak out) Fiuh...sure is good to know my cellphone's back to normal, thanx 2 Itank... "Thanx Bro!" hehe :) {sembarangan aja ya gw manggil orang bro... sejak kapan dia jadi sodara gw?! O_o}

Yaa.. all my frenz are my siblings especially in BMS, in English we would greet each other by, "Assalamu'alaikum Brothers and Sisters!" hehehe... duh jadi nyasar nih topik... After my cell was back to normal there was Herman, Banana (Edwin/Xang/Pisang), Pauline & other CS2009 students. Herman called me Kak Mutia, so I called him De'Herman! Apa seeehhhh... gak pentiiiiinnnggg... After the 2009 peeps all went home, Nindya and I went 2 da 3rd floor 2 get my laptop & bag, then we headed for our beloved 407! Dang is dat a cold room or what?! 407 is 1 of da coldest rooms in JWC... udah dingin banget, ruangannya kecil, orangnya dikiittt lagiihh.. so freakin' freezin' cold... like a fridge!!!!!!!! BRRRRRR.... I couldn't stay still for too long cuz 'twas cold that I had to take a walk outside 407 (in hallway) to warm myself up (T_T)

Friendster Horoscope for October 17, 2005

Gemini (May 21 - Jun 21)

The Bottom Line
The only way anything will get done is if you take charge. People will follow your lead.
.::. Hmm... I think it's true... What do you think Nindya?? .::.

this next part of the horoscope isn't that importante.. but I post it anyway..
In Detail
You're so darned fond of conversation that it doesn't take much for you to get involved in one. A bus terminal, the line at the grocery store -- doesn't matter. Communication is your business, and you're good at it. You're also used to keeping up not just your side of the conversation, but your "companion's" side too, but that won't be the case now. You'll be absolutely amazed at the verbal talents of someone you start up one of those chats with now.

Ramadhan Gathering 2005

Ketua Acara: Asta
Wakil Ketua: Itank
Sekr.&Bendahara: Putri (Pu3)

Gw nunjuk mereka tuk membuat acara buka pwsa bersama 1 kampus buat mahasiswa/i Muslim JWC. I told them, "I picked you guys bukan tanpa pertimbangan. I trust the 3 of you, so just keep my trust in you, don't let me down. OK?"

Dan hasilnya...WAH HEBAT!!! Total peserta lebih banyak dari tahun lalu & makanannya abis tahun ini, tahun lalu ampe sisa gitu. Ditambah Ginting yang bertanggung jawab buat "Sahur on the Road"!!

Walo kalian telah suxes melaksanakan acaranya.. hehehe.. gw perlu LAPORAN PERTANGGUNG JAWABAN dari kalian hari Jumat depan tanggal 21 Oktober jam 1 abis jumatan!! Bawa dokumentasinya juga yaa (foto2), soft copy ajah.. C'ya in the meeting!

Back 2 Nature

Hmm..udah rada2 basi juga nih.. Abis Tafakur Alam yg gw namain "Back 2 Nature" ini terlaksana tgl 30 September - 2 Oktober, 2005 O_o! Dan gw post tentang ini setelah 2 minggu ^_^; hehe maaph sodara/i...

Eniwei... 'twas a rainy nite on Friday, Sept.30th but we managed to gather @ JWC Campus, and off we go to Puncak... Udah hari jumat... ujan.. lengkap deh pake macet.. udah hari jumat biasa macet ini tambah parah pake ujan... I went on Putri's ride, Toyota Crown, wif Syifa and Pu3's chauffeur (tsah..keren sebutannya). Pas gw duduk nih..bless.. empuk meenn tempat duduknya.. so comfy.. PeWe abizz.. Waktu itu ada mobilnya Farry (Xtrail), Andi & Eko (Avanza kembar) and Ms.Ersa (APV!! hidup APV!! hehe..saya juga punya di rumah.. lho?! ga penting..) dan kita semua janjian tuk berhenti di Rest Area pinggir tol yg ada pom bensinnya abis exit Sentul.

Emang dasar kita udah malem berangkat dari JWC (7PM), it took about 1 hour from JWC to Patung Pancoran O_o Tapi tetep kita jalani.. sampe di Rest Area.. muacett.. orang2 pada ngantri di pom bensin.. ude gitu "si Bocah" alias Syifa ngomel2... "Pengen ke WC.. Pengen nasi.. Pengen ke WC.. Pengen nasi.." halah.. akhirnya sang chauffeur sigap, kita masuk ke Rest Area lewat EXIT sodara-sodara!! Tapi untungnya ga ada mobil yg keluar :P Kemudian Pu3 and I mengantar sang Bocah ke WC.. keluar dari WC "Haah..legaa.... Sekarang mo nasi...!!" halah... ude jam9 malem jadi tempat makan di Rest Area ude tutup nak! Jadi kita lanjut ke arah Puncak, and stop di deket Ciawi.. makan di Resto Sederhana Padang! Makan tuh nasi.. wakaka..

Setelah kenyang nyang nyang.. kita lanjutkan perjuangan ke villa di Puncak (Villa Bougenville deket pintu masuk Kota Bunga) duh..mana masjid Puncak aja belon lewat lagih.. masih jauh perjuangan.. Tapi akhirnya kita sampe di Villa sekitar jam11, shalat Isha berjama'ah dan memulai "Opening Ceremony" padahal cuma ngomong sebentar si Andi, abis itu pada disuruh tidur.

Tgl 1 Oktober 2005 - BBM naeekkk!!! Truz kita pagi2 shalat subuh berjama'ah, breakfast & bath, kemudian Ta'aruf and games! Setelah pada dapet hukuman semua (kecuali Pak Eko) dari maen games sebelonnya (hukumannnya menghafalkan ayat yg diundi) kita semua pada sibuk menghafalkan!! Abis hafalan selese.. tiba2 *jeng jeng* kita keluar ceritanya mo makan siang.. ternyata ke Cibodas.. udah kite2 makannya cuma 1 tangkep roti dgn Nutella.. disuruh HIKING pula!!! 'cem mana ini *nada sok Batak* Capeknyaaa... ude gitu udah naik turun gunung skitar 1 kilo.. cuma mo liat aer terjun bo'.. halah.. siasa seehh yg punya ide hiking inih.. ckckck.. ga tau apah capek.. ude gitu banyak yg anak cowo pake sendal doang O_o! Dan waktu makan siang.. lahap banget dah semuanya..!

Abis itu pulang shalat Dzuhur berjama'ah.. istirahat / nonton VCD Harun Yahya.. shalat Ashar berjama'ah.. bath time.. shalat maghrib berjama'ah.. shalat isha' berjama'ah.. meeting BMS.. Gw bangga dengan temen2 dari Batch 2009.. they have lotsa fresh ideas.. and very excited in this organization :) Senanknyaa... Meetingnya ampe luammaaa gituh.. banyak yg dibahas sih.. Tiba2 ada yg dapet sms mengatakan bahwa Bali di-bomb lagih! ampuunn.. ampuunn..

Tgl 2 Oktober 2005 - Pagi2 sekali (3AM) sebagian dari kita bangun tuk Tahajud kemudian ada Tausyiah dari Pak Eko dan shalat Subuh.. Abis itu yg laen pada tidur lagi, gw sih gak tidur lagi, udah bangun & kena air dingiiinnn banget jadi susah mo tidur lagi... Sekitar jam 8 / 9 (lupa gw) kita siap2 mo berangkat and diadakan penutupan dengan penghadiahan Qur'an kepada Asta en Ginting sebagai 2 peserta yg paling berusaha, I mean their effort in joining this event tuh bener2 kelihatan.. Truz ada last words from me and Andi and a prayer lead by Ms.Ersa then off we go heading back to Jakarta.. On the way to Jakarta, mobilnya Farry, Andi & Putri pada mampir di warung2 pinggir jalan deket Patung Botol Kecap Bango.. ada yg makan roti bakar, jagung bakar, dll.

Dari situ we went our own ways with our own speed.. Pu3 dropped me off @ home. Sesampainya gw di rumah.. *JRENG JRENG* ga ada orang di rumah!!!!!!!! huaaaaa.. mana orang need to go to restroom lagih.. jadi gw telpon nyokap en mereka emang on the way home. Udah 2 kali gw locked out kayak gitu.. nunggu di teras kayak orang bego...

Pas my fam sampe di rumah.. shalat Dzuhur.. eat lunch.. nunggu Ashar.. then off we go to Karet.. my grandpa's last place to rest(dari pihak Ayah).. sebelumnya Ayah, Ibu en Ade udah ke Jeruk Purut (grandma en grandpa dari pihak Ibu) pas gw lagi di perjalanan turun dari Puncak. My grandma from my dad's side Alhamdulillah is still alive and healthy and not forgetful (ga pikun maxudnya).

Udah ah..panjang amet ni entry..

This is so true...

My Friendster Horoscope for October 10^th, 2005

The Bottom Line
You suspect they have a hidden agenda. Give them the benefit of the doubt.

In Detail
You've become more than familiar with irritation, frustration and aggravation, especially due to things that were beyond your control. Of course, your sign, more than many others, can make the best of just about any situation. The good news is that what's happening now goes well beyond being 'lucky.' Go about your business confidently, and know that no matter what happens next, it just can't turn out to be anything but positive. The Universe is on your side.


The things in bold ("You've become more than familiar w/ irritation, frustation and aggravation....") that is sooo true... I don't really believe in Horoscopes, but this is so true. I've been irritated, frustrated and aggravated so much in the last year or so by a lot of people (especially in the last month), that it's become more than familiar to me! If u dunno what I mean, just skip this...

Just writing down sumthin on my mind.... sorry people, I'll write more later, another time bout when I went to Puncak & also the pics....

*singing*Ramadhan sebentar lagi...

*singing* Ramadhan sebentar lagi... asiiikkk... kolaaakkk...!

Gila cepet banget yak?! Udah Ramadhan ajah... Sebelum memulai bulan Ramadhan yang suci ini, ane mau minta maaf kepada semua yang kenal ane. So we can start the month of Ramadhan with a "clean heart" (hati yg suci mxd saya) :D

Afwan if I ever hurt anybody's feelings, dan semoga thru this month of Ramadhan we will become a better person and also dapet berkah dari Allah SWT... Amiiinnn...

Walopun masih ada beberapa hari lagi.. tapi karena weekend ini ane mo Tafakur Alam, so I'd like to say.....
"SELAMAT BERPUASA SEMUANYAAAA...!!!"

KEUTAMAAN BULAN SYA'BAN

Bulan Sya'ban comes before Ramadhan. This is something that I got from an Ustadz that I wanna share with you guys! It's in Indonesian though.



Haa Miim. Demi Kitab Al-Qur'an yang menjelaskan. Sesungguhnya kami menurunkannya pada malam yang diberkahi dan sesungguhnya kami-lah yang memberi peringatan. Pada malam itu dijelaskan segala urusan yang penuh hikmah.
(Ad-Dukhan: 1-4)



Allah Maha Lembut terhadap hamba-hamba-Nya, Dia memberi rizki kepada siapa saja yang dikehendaki-Nya dan Dia-lah Yang Maha Kuat lagi Maha Perkasa.
(Asy-Syura': 19)



Tidak ada suara yang paling disukai Allah Ta'ala selain dari suara seorang hamba yang berdosa kemudian ia bertaubat kepada Allah Ta'ala, maka Allah berkata kepadanya: Labbaik wahai hamba-Ku mintalah apa yang kamu mau.



Jibril AS datang kepadaku pada malam nisfu sya'ban dan berkata: wahai Muhammad, ini adalah suatu malam dimana pintu-pintu langit dan pintu-pintu rahmat dibuka, maka bangunlah dan dirikanlah shalat, angkatlah kepala dan kedua tanganmu ke langit. Lalu aku berkata kepada Jibril: malam apakah ini wahai Jibril? Ia menjawab: ini adalah malam di mana dibukanya 300 pintu rahmat, Allah Ta'ala mengampuni semua orang yang tidak menyekutukanNya dengan sesuatu apapun kecuali penyihir, dukun santet, orang yang memusuhi saudaranya, orang yang meminum khamar, orang yang selalu berzina, orang yang makan riba, orang yang durhaka kepada Ibu Bapaknya, orang yang suka mengadu domba orang lain, dan orang yang memutuskan tali shilahtur rahmi. Mereka itu semua tidak diampuni oleh Allah sampai mereka meninggalkan perbuatan tercela itu.



Apabila datang malam nisfu sya'ban maka hendaklah kamu bangun malam untuk beribadah dan berpuasalah di siang harinya, sesungguhnya Allah Ta'ala pada saat itu turun ke langit dunia ketika terbenam matahari dan berfirman: apakah ada orang yang meminta kepada-Ku, niscaya akan Aku kabulkan permintaannya. Apakah ada orang yang meminta ampun kepada-Ku, niscaya akan Aku ampuni dosanya. Apakah ada orang yang meminta rizki kepada-Ku, niscaya akan Aku beri ia rizki, sampai terbit fajar.



Tatkala datang malam ke-13 dari bulan Sya'ban, Malaikat Jibril datang kepadaku dan berkata: wahai Muhammad bangunlah, telah tiba waktu tahajjud untuk engkau meminta keinginanmu atas ummatmu. Maka Nabi SAW mengerjakannya. Lalu Jibril mendatanginya ketika terbit shubuh dan berkata: wahai Muhammad, sesungguhnya Allah telah memberikan kepadamu (anugerah) untuk 1/3 ummatmu saja, maka Nabi SAW menangis dan berkata: wahai Jibril beri tahu aku bagaimana tentang 2/3 lagi dari ummatku yang tersisa? Jibril menjawab: aku tidak tahu.

Lalu Jibril mendatanginya kembali pada malam kedua (malam ke-14) dan berkata: wahai Muhammad bangunlah dan bertahajjudlah. Maka Nabi SAW mengerjakannya, lalu Jibril mendatanginya ketika fajar dan berkata: wahai Muhammad Allah telah memberikan anugerah untuk 2/3 ummatmu, maka menangislah Nabi SAW dan berkata: wahai Jibril bagaimanakah dengan 1/3 ummatku yang tersisa? Jibril menjawab: aku tidak tahu.

Kemudian ia mendatanginya lagi pada malam kebebasan (malam ke-15) dan berkata: wahai Muhammad, kabar gembira untukmu sesungguhnya Allah Ta'ala telah memberikan anugerah untuk semua ummatmu yang tidak menyekutukanNya dengan sesuatu apapun. Lalu Jibril berkata: wahai Muhammad angkatlah kepalamu ke langit dan pandanglah apa yang kau lihat, maka Nabi SAW memandang pintu-pintu langit terbuka nampak para maliakat naik dari langit dunia menuju Arsy seraya mereka sujud dan meminta ampun untuk ummat Nabi Muhammad SAW, dan pada tiap-tiap pintu ada malaikat.

Pada pintu yang pertama malaikat berseru: beruntunglah orang yang ruku' pada malam ini. Pada pintu yang kedua malaikat berseru: beruntunglah orang yang sujud pada malam ini. Pada pintu yang ketiga malaikat berseru: beruntunglah orang yang berzikir pada malam ini. Pada pintu yang keempat malaikat berseru: beruntunglah orang yang berdo'a kepada Tuhannya pada malam ini. Pada pintu yang kelima malaikat berseru: beruntunglah orang yang menangis karena takut kepada Allah pada malam ini. Pada pintu yang keenam malaikat berseru: beruntunglah orang yang berbuat baik pada malam ini. Pada pintu yang ketujuh malaikat berseru: beruntunglah orang yang membaca Al-Qur'an pada malam ini.

Kemudian para malaikat itu berseru: apakah ada orang yang meminta kepada Allah, niscaya akan dikabulkan permintaanya. Apakah ada orang yang berdo'a kepada Allah, niscaya akan dikabulkan do'anya. Apakah ada orang yang bertaubat kepada Allah, niscaya akan Allah terima taubatnya. Apakah ada orang yang meminta ampun kepada Allah, niscaya akan diampuni baginya.



Ya Allah, jika Engkau telah menulis namaku sebagai orang yang sengsara di dalam golongan orang-orang yang sengsara, maka hapuskanlah catatan itu dan tulislah aku ke dalam golongan orang-orang yang bahagia. Dan jika Engkau telah menulis namaku sebagai orang yang bahagia di dalam golongan orang-orang yang bahagia, maka tetapkanlah catatan itu, karena sesungguhnya Engkau telah berfirman di dalam kitab-Mu (Allah menghapus apa saja yang Ia kehendaki dan menetapkannya, dan di sisi-Nya ada Ummul Kitab). Dan Allah melimpahkan shalawat dan salam kepada junjungan kami Nabi Muhammad SAW dan juga kepada keluarganya serta para sahabatnya, dan Segala puji bagi Allah Tuhan semesta alam.

Hajatan di sebelah

Selamat menempuh hidup baru tuk tetangga-ku!!

Hari ini serasa di Jawa Barat.. abis pagi2 ada lagu Sunda, pake suling Sunda. Kan tetangga sebelah gw orang Sunda, kayak nyokap gw.. Hari ini siraman tuk anaknya yg mo nikah, anaknya cewe. Siangnya ada pengajian. Nanti sore ampe malem ayah-ibu mo kondangan.. ahaha ke undangan maxudnya (Betawi banget seehh). Jadi anak dari sepupunya Ayah mo nikah, and 2day is the Wedding Day. This Sunday is the day for di-adat-in secara Batak. Yup! My Dad is Batak and my Mom is Sundanese :) Gado2 ya gw..maybe I've mentioned that before, but it's ok :)

Nu semester..my 7th.. *sigh*

I only have 1 subject this semester, that is Games Design and Programming!!! Liat judulnya aja pas ujung2nya ada kata Programming..udah deh.. langsung pusying... Well since there's only 1 subject, I only go 2 campus on Monday (LAB) and Tuesday(lecture)!! hahaha.. happy happy joy joy :D

Tapi nanti gw pasti dikejar2 skripsi alias Thesis!! Kalo bisa sih selese dalam 1 semester, kalo gak paling lama 1 tahun-lah = 2 semester. Tapi posisi gw sekarang juga sebagai Vice President of BiNus Moslem Society (BMS) alias Rohis-nya kampus gw.. heran ya?? "Koq Mutia bisa jadi WaKa Rohis?!?! O_o!" Lha..itu pertanyaan yang gw tanyain ke diri gw sendiri sebenernya
^___^;; au'ah..gw yang sembarangan kayak gini koq bisa yaa...?? Well hope that with this position I can be a better Moslem, menjadi Muslimah yang lebih baik dari sebelumnya.. Amiiinn...

Tapi walo jadwal gw dibilang kosong enggak juga sih, gw pasti nanti sibuk di BMS. Truz gw mo lanjutin fitness gw yang ilang jadwalnya minggu lalu gara2 e.COM dan juga les Jepang hari Kamis pagi.. Udah gak inget lagee neehh Nihongo-nya.. ;( banyak Pe-eR Nihongo lageee, hix... PLUS!!!! My Thesis atau skripsi gw, kalo di kampus gw dibilang Thesis... Sumthin' 'bout HCI.. Anyway, in my campus u are allowed to do your thesis in groups of maximal 3 people. And that would be a good strategy if your Thesis is making an Application. But then I'm stuck with myself, and I can't do programming that good. It's not that I can't cooperate with others, tapiii...gw "keabisan" orang ahaha.. Jadi gw curhat gitu ke dosen, beliau bilang ya udah you sendiri aja, bikin Thesis bukan Application tapi Theory, either on Computing Theory or HCI. *dipiki-piki* hmm..boleh juga... and I'm off in making a Thesis proposal.

m(_ _)m Doa'kan saya yaaa teman2... dan qu doa'kan teman2 yang juga sedang skripsi atau tugas akhir juga ;)

TTFN! :)

Lost in the News

From year to year e.COM takes our attention away from the outside world. For the 4 days of e.COM this year (just like last year) I focused on e.COM only, and nothing else. I was always going to campus early in the morning and getting home late in the nite. So at the times when I am at home there were no news on TV and the paper's delivered after I leave home. When I arrive at home at nite I was too tired to read the paper, and there's no news on TV. Lagian gw pulang orang rumah udah pada tidur, atau lagi nonton film apaaa gitu.

And so when I watched the news 2day..I was shocked!! *mengheningkan cipta dimulai*

New Orleans, Louisiana was hit by Hurricane Katrina!! It was kinda like seeing the tsunami situation in Aceh, Indonesia (my beloved country Indonesia). Corpse everywhere, and part of the city flooded. It shows no matter how "strong" your country is economically, it doesn't mean that it's impossible that a disaster would happen.

-------------------------------------------------

Update:
I feel upset with the US Government, why are they still racial?! They are always teaching us in school to not be racist, but they still are... So all the teachings in school are all of no use in my opinion!! I use to go to school in the US, and so I know what they teach you about racialism in school. Who cares if you got black-colored skin, white-colored skin, red-colored skin, brown-colored skin, yellow-colored skin, green-colored skin, purple-colored skin, whatever... we are all the same.. Isn't that what the teachers teach us in school...? Then that's what we should practice in our life, not to be racist..! They should immediately send help to Louisiana!!!

e.COM'05 4th Day

Well all I can say..All's well that ends well.

For Spelling Bee Round 4, I was still able to handle it with the help of Irine in "lending an ear". But for Round 5, I had a headache, a side-effect I think because of handling 3 rounds as a single Judge actually. And so we all switched places. Irine became the Judge, Tephi became "Irine's ear", and I became the pronouncer. The participants were, IMHO, a bit confused with my accent. Cuz I used pure American accent...kasihan juga ya ngedenger "cara orang bule ngomong". The winning word was: "Ileitis" and Sylvia (if I'm not mistaken) from SMUK 4 Penabur won 1st place, Michael Tedjauli from AtmaJaya in 2nd place, and Edwin from Bina Bangsa School in 3rd.

This year's Closing Ceremony was waaaaayyyy BETTER than last year's and the years before. The committee made it HEBOH by doing a BIG Line Dance 'round the lobby and stage to the last songs sung by the band "008" which consists of BiNus IUP students. It was really fun and we tossed Faustina as the Project Leader into the air, 'bout 2-3 meters high!!! Gw takut Faust jatuh... ^_^;; Then people were tossed into the water fountain, 1st it was Faustina, then Erich as the Chief Adju, and then an LO named Ian. WHOA..were they wet..! A fun and gr8t Closing Ceremony this year!!

After the short Eva I gave a handshake to ALL committee thanking and congratulating them. I think that the newbie people thought that I was really really angry last nite, that when I shook their hands they were apologizing to me!! Duh kasian juga gw marahin kemaren... Emang gw upset sih, but that was yesterday.. Then after cleaning up the building, we went to Roti Bakar Eddy Blok M at Jl.Raden Patah to eat together. I feel sorry for Quino cuz he doesn't ubderstand what's on the menu ^__^;; So when he asked what sate/satay was.. David said, "It's meat on a stick!" huahaha.. Quino..kasiaaann deh loe..harus banyak belajar bahasa Indonesia! Pake nanya lagi..partikel "sih", "deh" dan "lah" tuh dipake dalam situasi apa?? Gw bilang aja, "It's all about your experience in speaking in Indonesian Quino..." Gimana cara gw jelasin kapan dipakenya?!

e.COM'05 3rd Day

Didn't really see much of e.COM 2day cuz I focused on Spelling Bee (SP), that's cuz 2day I'm starting to play my role as a Judge along with Irine. Irine helped me out in figuring if what the participant said was correct. But Irine was with me only in the morning for Round 2.

Like about 3 of the participants spelled "J" as "G"..and so they were wrong even though what they meant was "J" but they said "G"! Anyway, for the afternoon, or Round 3, I was on my own as a Judge. Ternyata memusingkan dan bikin capek kalo jadi Judge.. I realized it in Round 3! I had to hear tons of people spell tons of words, whilst looking at the correct spelling. And there was this one girl who spelled too fast..sheesh...

Capek gw capek..padahal cuma dengerin orang doang.. Gw udah biasa dengerin curhatnya orang tapi itu gak bikin gw capek.

By the way, after Faustina "scolded" and got angry at the crew (aka the committee), I also expressed my feelings of sadness and upset by raising my voice to a high tone. I said that I was upset as last year's Project Leader b'coz the crew does not listen to Faustina in the previous Eva meetings, that is why up 'til the 3rd day of e.COM we still had problems, PLUS we had negative response from the questionnaires.. Hope that the last day turns out well...

e.COM'05 2nd Day

Even though I'm not playing my role as a Judge yet today, I helped the Spelling Bee team in "grading" the written test of the participants and before that I helped in watching over the participants as they take the test. It was really funny in seeing the participants' reactions to some of the words being read by Stephanie (Tephi) as the Pronouncer!! There was this one word that Tephi said, and this girl put her hand over her mouth as she said, "Mampusss.." huahahaha... gw pengen ketawa sebenarnya ngeliat reaksi para peserta! Tapi masa' pengawas test ketawa kayak orgil pas test-nya sedang berlangsung?! (O_o)

After the Spelling Bee Written Test was over, I returned to 311 to take a rest or just berdiam diri..not really laying down or anything. Then I watched the lunch performance, and after that I went back to 311. For Spelling Bee (SP) we didn't have anything else to do except for Tephi to practice her pronounciation with me. But since there were Adisti and Tika singing crazily to these tons of songs (tapi ada juga sih bagian yang "bener"nya), we stayed in 311 for awhile to be crazy wit 'em! Emang begitulah tiap tahun... tiap e.COM karena saking stress-nya semua orang panitia, jadi pada gila!!

Well after the craziness was over, Tephi and I went upstairs to 407 (IT Div. room) to practice pronounciation... I feel sorry for Tephi cuz she was gettin' tired of pronouncing ^___^;;

e.COM '05 1st Day

In the wee morning when I entered 311 I met Widya (Nindya's sister), she seems a bit more calm than her sister ^__^;; Since there were a lot of participants who didn't take a pic on the Technical Meeting, they had 2 take it 2day. Sooo the DPD (Design Production & Documentation) people including Nindya had to be at the lobby to stand by. But then, since Tommy came late nobody took pics of the Opening Ceremony!!! OMG! THAT is a BIG mistake that we didn't expect. But then when I was watching the Op.Ceremony with Widya I saw some people taking pics with their own camera or handphone. I took some pics too with my hp, since I 4got to bring my digicam :) Sooo the DPD people can get the pics from me.

Well today I was busy in the lab mostly after the Opening Ceremony. I was finishing up the Spelling Bee Word List. Tapi kalo boleh jujur, Opening Ceremony and lunch performance 2day ga heboh, gak kayak tahun lalu. Last year when I asked the committee to make noise or make a "wave" they did it, tahun ini panitianya kurang berani tampil & kurang heboh en rame. Itu aja sih kecewanya gw...

O IYA!! Another thing is..there were lots of the committee members who did NOT speak in English!!! Kecewa gw...

But it was fine..by the way, none of the people who planned to sleepover at my place did so. And then I went home with Irine and Venez after the Eva (Evaluation Meeting). Oia karena Irine and Venez laper aye traktir mereka makan malem di depan rumah, alias jajanan lapangan Blok S. Daqu menyalahi aturan diet gara2 e.COM ini... ^___^;;

Berlian Billiard

Oh man... I am NOT good in 9-ball, I'd rather play 8-ball. I played Billiard today with Dad, Mom and Ikhsan, but Mom just sat down on the couch. Now this place, Berlian Billiard, is a billiard place that doesn't sell alcohol cuz it's purpose is for sports. So there're some VIP and even VVIP rooms. That is why my parents allow me to play billiard in this place only, before we discovered this place I was never allowed to go play in other places with my frenz. Well whenever we play in Berlian Billiard we always use the VVIP room.

Anyway... even though I'm not good in 9-ball, I try u know. But 2day I'm really happy! Cuz the 1st game I played against my li'l bro (Ikhsan) I won!!! But then the score was 3-2 with Ikhsan winning 3 game sets... but then 2day it seems that my skills in taking shots are improving :) *happy*

9-ball is about luck most of the time. Like even if I shot in ball 1-8, if I can't get 9 in and my opponent gets it.. I am doomed... I lose. But in 8-ball it's all about the total of the balls shot. Like when I lost to my dad, 'twas b'coz I pushed in the 9-ball then the white cue ball bounced and went into the hole on the other side of the table!!! "HUAAAA...!!!!!", I screamed. It was very shocking, since the cue ball went in, automatically my dad wins. Huaaa dudul gw, terlalu kenceng jadi mental, masuk deh cue ball.... ;(

You know, some people think playing billiard is easy, but it's not. You need to think about physics and math when u play, technically.. Like the angle u need to take and how hard the power of your shot is. Now I've improved my angle skills..even though it's not a 100% success
^___^;;

I've been a geek all my life.. so puzzle games and mind-twisting or mind-bending games are my type of games.. including this sport named billiard....

e.COM'05 Tech Meeting

Arrived @ campus @ 9AM, already crowded wit people.. some I don't know. That's cuz they're from the new batch, the 2009 Batch. I only know 2 of 'em, Asta & Miftah, & that's cuz of the religion session in the O'Days. Kalo gw bukan Pengurusnya BMS (Binus Moslem Society) gw ga bakalan kenal juga ama mereka ber2 ^_____^;;

And this was the schedule according to Faustina (e.COM 2005's Project Leader) :

1. 9 AM Pre-Simulation Meeting
2. 9:30 AM Simulation
3. 11 AM Pre-Technical Meeting
4. 12 - 1 PM Lunch & Re-registration (participants)
5. 1 - 2 PM Re-registration (participants)
6. 2 - 4 PM Technical Meeting
7. 4 - 6 PM Evaluation and Last Preparation Meeting (Eva)

Yach tapi nyatanya Indonesia emang jam karet.. jadi Eva-nya mulai baru skitar jm 5-an truz selese 7:30 PM.

Well..met lotsa people 2day..intinya itu..dan juga gw seneng. Udah lama ga ikutan kegiatan kepanitiaan kayak ini, wong e.COM yg gw ikutin kan udah 1 tahun berlalu. Jadi seneng aja gitu, walo harus keringetan (bikin guidebook), pusying (ambil foto peserta buat e.COM System Database) dan capek.. it's really fun to be in an organization! You get to meet new people so it widens your social network, have more friends..pokoke ketemu berbagai macam orang deh. Dan sudah pasti..kalo ada acara2 beginian kelakuan orang tuh ada2 aja deh yang aneh. Jadi inget tahun lalu... ada kasus-nya Sam, Karim en Coro. But I didnt' write it down in this blog of mine. They were doin' gay things.. OMG they were soo gay... ahaha :) pengen ketawa mengingatnya.

^___________^;;;

Pokoke gw excited banget tuk e.COM tahun ini! The total of the Participants doubled from last year! This year we have 'bout 400-sumthin'. WHOA!! Amazing! Congrats to Faustina and her team.. I'm juz an Advisor here this time.. not too helpful :D

Plus I'm gonna be a Judge for Spelling Bee this year! Doa'kan saya jadi juri yang bisa melaksanakan tugas dengan baik ;)

SEMANGAT!!!!!! buat semua panitia e.COM 2005!!!!!!!!

---------------------------------------------------------------

Update:

Nindya entered the meeting room (311) in the mid of meeting wif her luggage and awards stuff...! Then @ lunch she told me the stories of her quarantine in the Marketing Innovation Award. She got 2 special prizes u know... The 1st is winning 2nd place for this Awards thing, and the 2nd thing is.. that.. Kappa.. actually.. got.. a.. b...

Penasaran yaa...???? Tanya aja Kappa "dapet" apaan aja pas karantina langsung ke orangnya...

For the 1st Time in History

Try this:
http://www.worldbadminton.net/Portal/desktopdefault.aspx?tabid=10&ItemID=1854

For the 1st time in history... USA made it to the Semi-Finals... even to the Finals of Badminton Champioships... AND EVEN got a medal!!! Not just any medal... but a GOLD MEDAL!!! That sucks, cuz I'm an Indonesian. It's s'posed to be an All-Indonesian Final in this 2005 World Badminton Championship. D'ya know why I said that? Cuz 3 out of the 4 players playing in the Final of the Men's Doubles are Indonesians.. the other guy (Howard Bach) is a Vietnamese-born..but he became an American citizen (if I'm not wrong), I despise the guy. The other three are: Chandra Wijaya and Sigit Budiarto playing for Indonesia, and Tony Gunawan playing for USA.

But on the other hand, even though the Indonesian team didn't bring home 3 Gold Medals but instead 2 Gold, 1 Silver and 1 Bronze, somehow I feel proud of Tony Gunawan. Cuz of his badminton-playing, his name was screamed by the Americans in support of his play. Bangga juga sih orang2 bule itu pada teriakin dan mengelu-elukan namanya... Ada orang bule nge-fans ama orang kita bo'! Sampe2 nama Tony ditulis di forehead-nya seorang cewe bule! Lucu juga... But then I'd be ashamed if I was an American, cuz it means USA didn't win purely, cuz they didn't use their own people, they paid Tony to play.

What do YOU think?

Pengkhianat Bangsa... ;(

Sad..but true.. I don't know why Tony Gunawan did this but it's sad... Prob'ly Tony's not "used" anymore on the Indonesian National Badminton team, that's why he chose to play for another country... *sigh*

Try this:
http://www.worldbadminton.net/Portal/desktopdefault.aspx?tabid=10&ItemID=1853

Nyesek banget gitu..nonton Semi-Final antara USA VS Indonesia (Team 2). It should've been an All-Indonesian Finals... huff... if only Tony stayed with us.

Sakit loh... apalagi gw merasa orang Indonesia-banget (lha..emang iya) maxudnya rasa nasionalisme gw kuat, jadiii ngeliat orang kayak gitu gw esmosi nonton pertandingannya.
^_________^;;

Pas diwawancara aja, Tony Gunawan bilang, "I'm going to go against my old partner, Chandra Wijaya.." cuih... Gak hormat lagi gw ama Tony, padahal gw bangga banget waktu beberapa tahun yang lalu dia berdua ama Chandra main. It was juz amazing seeing them play together in 1 team! Jadi nanti Tim 1 Indonesia akan melawan USA...

USA cheated...that's what I can say..maruk. Di cabang OR Badminton, dimana dia gak pernah masuk Semi-Final, "maksa" masuk dengan menggunakan jasa "orang luar" biar di-"sabet" ajah gitu gelar IBF! Ih curang abiss... terus terang aja gak mampu main bulu tangkis yang namanya orang bule Amrik! Jangan maksa kenape?! (O_o) I mean, it seems like USA just wanna be "Numero Uno" at eeeeev'rything! So they cheat in getting what they want, meng-halal-kan s'gala cara tuk mendapatkan yang diinginkan...!! Either it's (in this case) sports, politics, economy, et cetera, et cetera..the list goes on and on... huaduh... pusying... menyedihkan ya orang USA itu.. I don't know who's idea it was to put "foreigners" in USA's team. Pada bangga lagi pas dinyatakan USA menang & masuk Semi-Final!! Jijay bajaj.. cap cay.. siomay.. (O_o);;;

Walo gw pernah masa kecil disana(read: USA) tapi gw udah gak peduli lagi, gak respect lagi deh ama USA. Abis gitu sihh...

Ugh...TNA Wrestling

Have u ever watched TNA Wrestling before? I juz did, and that's only b'coz my dad and bro were watching it on cable. I mean everybody who is involved in and also watches this TNA thing, according to me, are juz plain stupid. Everybody knows already that it's all drama, aka acting. It's just not a real sport, it's drama.. It's just plain stupid... When this 1 guy "punched" his "enemy" u can see that it's fake! Ohmigod...ugh...so not importante.. And these wrestlers..these guys.. are only wearing undies.. Ewww..disgusto mundo.. Eh berlebihan yak? Pokoke jijik deh en gak penting banget TNA ituh... (>,<)

The Twins

The Twins are Kak Fenny's Twin Daughters.. Their names are Sharla and Diandra. dipanggil Lala and Dee-dee..hehe lucu ya? Di
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v231/MewTeeA/merah-putih_my_ver.gif
ada fotonya mereka^__^;; lutunaaaa... They're bout a year old.

Eniwei, from Monday 'til today (15th - 18th of August) mereka dititipin di rumah Pung Mama. Dan karena nyokap perlu therapy for her backaches at Dad's office (BI), after she's done with the therapy she goes to Pung Ma's house. Pung Ma emang akhir2 ini semakin lemah ;(( wajar aja sih, she's 87 years old already, but she still has strong memory!!! Then I pick Mom up with the chauffeur. Otomatis gw ketemu ama Si Kembar. hehehe senangnyaa....I feel entertained when around li'l kids :D

Kalo Lala langsung nempel..Dee-dee agak susah ama orang yang udah lama gak pernah ketemu, apalagi pas hari Selasa itu Dee-dee baru bangun. Gw ajak Lala keluar liat aquarium ikan, truz main di kamar. Truz sebelum lunch gw pulang. Pas 17-an juga, on Wednesday after havin' lunch Mom, Dad and I went to Pung Ma's house again. Ade ada acara di SMUN8 after the flag ceremony. When we arrived at Pung Ma's house, the Twins were still there this time with their parents, Kak Fenny and Bang Henry. Like the day before, it didn't take long for Lala to be "stuck" on me. Mau aja gituh gw gendong, ga protes^___^;;

Hari itu, Dee-dee juga baru bangun jadi belum nyadar gw itu siapa, jadi ga mau digendong ama gw. Pas udah agak sore, mereka mandi sore. Selese mereka mandi sore, Ade gw telpon minta dijemput. Jadi gw yang tadinya main "ciluk-baa" ama si Kembar di depan pintu kamarnya, jadi melambaikan tangan sambil mengatakan, "Daag! Dadaahh!"

Eeeehhh..!! Tau2nya Dee-dee nge-rengek minta digendong! Udah nge-rangkak ampe pinggir tempat tidur..karena gw takut dia jatuh akhirnya gw masuk ke kamar nyamperin dia. Truz tangannya ke atas minta digendong. Karena gak tega gw gendong, truz dia nunjuk2 keluar. Gw bilang, "Gak boleh Dee-dee, Dee-dee belum pakai baju.."

Truz pas dia mo dipakein singlet ama Mbak-nya eh..marah! Wuaduh galak juga Dee-dee ^___^ Tapi dengan usaha yang keras dari Mbak, akhirnya terpakaikan juga singletnya..tapi celana belum... Dia minta gw bawa keluar..karena di depan rumah Pung Ma lagi ada lomba 17-Agustusan, dan ada lagunya, jadi dia tertarik mo keluar. Tapi karena gw udah buru2 harus pulang mo jemput ade, akhirnya gw taro Dee-dee lagi di tempat tidur...eeehhh dia teriak truz nangis! Kalo kata Pung Ma, Ade'nya (Diandra) cemburu ama Kakaknya (Sharla) karena dari tadi yang digendong sama Auntie Mutia cuma Kakaknya, cieehhh Auntie Mutia ;) Abis kalo gw dipanggil Tante Mutia..kesannya kayak Tante2 bangettt gitu loh... atau Tante2 girang!! huaaaa...

Udah gw "oper" ke Emak-nya (Kak Fenny) Dee-dee masih nangis ampe teriak gituh...Duh kasian.. tapi mo gimana lagi? Auntie harus pergi.. Gw bilang, "Enggak, Auntie gak jahat koq ama Dee-dee. Besok Auntie Mutia kesini lagi deh. Ya? Dadaahhh..." Makin kenceng aje nangisnya! Waduh gawat..! Biar aja deh biar Mak-nya aja yang urus ^____^ ehehe... Maaph Kak Fen, tapi anakmu yang nempel2 ama aku lohh ^____^;;

Hari ini gw kesana lagi, tapi gak lama..karena Ibu pengen pulang cepet, ngantuk katanya abis di-therapy.. Duh lucu deh... Gw baru dateng, truz Mbak Lastri keluar bawa Lala, gw sodorin tangan gw, langsung dia mau digendong ama gw!! aiiihhh...lutunaaaaa... Tapi gw gak lama gendong Lala, karena kemaren Dee-dee nangis karena iri, jadi gw bilang, "Lala gantian ya Auntie gendong Dee-dee sekarang.." Jadi gw gendong Dee-dee.

Pas Ibu udah mo pulang gw balikin lagi Dee-dee ke Mbaknya. Truz gw bilang lagi, "Dadaaahhh..." Awalnya Dee-dee anteng2 ajah. Pas Lala en Dee-dee dibawa keluar ama Mbak-nya dan juga Mbak Lastri (Mbak Lastri pembantunya Pung Ma, jadi sebenernya Mbaknya si Kembar cuma 1, gw ga tau pula namanya Mbak siapa ^___^;;;) Dee-dee baru sadar bahwa gw mo pergi. Gw udah mo jalan ke mobil dia minta gendong, gw dadah-dadah..dia nge-rengek... Jadi gw gendong lagi sebentar, truz gw balikin lagi ke Mbak-nya. Eh nangis lageee, jadi dibawa ke dalem ama Mbak-nya. Hahaha... lucu. Kata Ibu, "Hayoo loh.. Mut tanggung jawab kamu, bikin anak orang nempel ama kamu truz nangis."

Wuaduh...bukan salah gw kan anak2 kecil selalu nempel ama gw??? Kata Ibu, 'Nik (ibunya Ibu-ku, singkatan dari kata Ninik = Grandma in Sundanese) doeloe juga kayak gitu... anak2 kecil selalu seneng ama dia, langsung nempel gitu. Wah ternyata ada sifat atau aura 'Nik yang turun ke gw. Kalo kata Ade gw yang rese' itu.."Kakak punya aura seorang baby-sitter..." Kurang asyemmmmm..!!!!! Bukan begitu...emang sih dari SMP waktu di USA, gw jadi baby-sitter tuk anak2nya temennya Ibu yang orang Indo yang tinggal disana, pas Ibunya pergi kerja. Ponakan gw yang sekarang udah kelas 2 SD, Dinda aja pernah nginep di rumah gw pas Kak Ita pergi ke Medan, truz gw bantu jagain. Pas kuliah tingkat 2 juga, gw pernah kerja di sebuah Pre-School & Day Care, ada 1 anak bernama Icha yang nempel ama gw. Di kampus aja.. gw dipanggil Mami!!! Huaduh...awalnya gw ngerasa aneh..tapi yaa sudahlah... Awalnya Nopi yang manggil gw Mami, truz Icha..truz "anak" gw tambah banyak!!! wakakaka... Kata Nopi sih gw punya aura ke-Ibu-an, pantesan kalo lagi di jalan gw dipanggil "Ibu" melulu. Sampe2 ama tukang jualan jus di depan rumah gw bilangin, "Mang, jangan panggil Ibu, baru 20 tahun masa' dipanggil Ibu..."

Jadi...bukan salah gw kan anak2 kecil selalu nempel ama gw???

One Last Cry by Brian McKnight

My shattered dreams and broken heart
Are mending on the shelf
I saw you holding hands
Standing close to someone else
Now I sit all alone
Wishing all my feeling was gone
I gave my best to you
Nothing for me to do
But have one last cry

Chorus:
One last cry
Before I leave it all behind
I've gotta put you out of my mind this time
Stop living a lie
I guess I'm down to my last cry

I was here, you were there
Guess we never could agree
While the sun shines on you
I need some love to rain on me
Still I sit all alone
Wishing all my feeling was gone
Gotta get over you
Nothing for me to do
But have one last cry

Chorus:
One last cry
Before I leave it all behind
I've gotta put you out of my mind this time
Stop living a lie

I know I gotta be strong
Cause round me life goes on and on and on and on

I'm gonna dry my eyes
Right after I end my one last cry

Chorus:
One last cry
Before I leave it all behind
I've gotta put you out of my mind for the very last time
Been living a lie
I guess I'm down
I guess I'm down
I guess I'm down...
to my last cry

Wedding Reception & Neko Died

No not my wedding reception, 'twas the daughter of 1 of my neighbors in Pasar Minggu.

Di siang hari seperti biasa kami sekeluarga pergi makan siang bersama, pada saat kami keluar rumah, Neko (kucing kecil yang nyasar ke rumah kami & sering aku&Ade ajak main) masih berlarian mengikuti aku & Ade'qu...

Maghrib pas kami pulang Neko udah tergeletak tak bernafas lagi di halaman rumah.... Aku tak tau apa yang terjadi padanya. :(

Aku sedih.... ;(

Kami meminta tolong tukang kebun BI tuk menguburnya di halaman. Hix hix... goodbye Neko I'll never 4get u. I still have the video clips of Neko running around saved in my cell phone...

But I wasn't s'posed to be sad too long, we had a Reception to go to! So I hurried upstairs and took a bath, ganti baju and VOILA! Berubah! Kami berangkat ke Undangan tsb dan makan2, hehehe.... Tapi tetep aja gw sedih Neko pergi.... ;(

Terharu karena Mike

Mike nyanyi "Unchained Melody" pada Babak Spektakuler Indonesian Idol hari ini! Dan itu sangat2 mengharukan sekaleeeeeee...!!! hix..terharu... aku terharuuuuu...

Go to Puncak

Naik naik ke puncak gunung.... For my holidays I only went to Puncak! And also Sukabumi wit my college frenz. Yah paling jauh Jawa Barat-lah..Bandung. Tadinya rencana ke Bali tapi gak ada waktu en biayanya, but it's ok jadilah kami ke Puncak tgl 13-15 Juli. Nginep di Hotel Prameswari yang termasuk "old hotel" deket Istana Cipanas. Yaaa gak reyot sih, tapi kerasa it's an old hotel, ya know wat I'm sayin'? Pas gw lagi "masyalah bulanan" lagi..sakiiitt... tapi terobati dengan melihat pemandangan pegunungan yang indah :D

I took some photos of it, I was tryin' out my photography skills. I'll post it up later on ;) I promise I'll post those photos and also Moo²'s photos.

Dangdutan & Billiard!!

HUWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Udah semalem gw ga bisa tidur gara2 tukang pada ketak-ketok bikin panggung dangdut di lapangan (Blok S) tepat di depan rumah gw lageehhh... Gile tuh sound system menggetarkan seluruh kaca di rumah gw.. >___<

Since my parents weren't @ home (they went to the Wedding Reception of Agus & Annissa @ Bogor) I was stuck @ home wit my li'l bro, dan pembantu gw pergi ama pacarnya.

Gw: "Gimana nih 'san...Kakak gak mau di rumah kalo begini caranya..." *sambil nunjuk2 ke arah depan rumah* (btw, nama ade gw Ikhsan)

Ade: "Katanya Kakak mau ke PIN pengen tau kayak gimana environment-nya. Gimana sih.."

Gw: " Iya ya..." *ragu2*

Ade: "Gimana sih Kak. Kan Kakak yang ngomel2 pengen ngungsi dari rumah kalo pas ada dangdutan..."

Gw: "Hmmm..." *suasana hening*(sebenarnya kagak hening sih, wong ada suara2 dari
lapangan depan rumah)

setelah beberapa saat
Gw: "Ok deh, kita berangkat. Tapi Kakak mandi en Maghrib doeloe ya!"

Ade: "OK."

Setelah selesai mandi en shalat, seperti biasa cewe mandi lebih lama daripada cowo, jadi pas gw lagi nyisir rambut Ade gw ribut, "Kak buruan dong!"

Gw: "Iya..iya...wait a minute...)but it turns out to be 15 minutes or so ^_^;; haha

Sekitar jam 7 kurang sekian kami mengunci semua pintu, setelah itu kami berjalan ke depan pos satpam sambil diiringi alunan musik dangdut dan mencegat sebuah taxi biru di Jl.Suryo kemudian meluncurlah kami ke arah Pondok Indah.

Sesampainya di PIN, kami langsung main di meja billiard yang di lantai 1, karena kata Ade di lantai 2 banyak yang ngerokok biasanya. Karena aku tak melihat ada yang ngerokok di lantai 1 jadi kami main disitu. Setelah puas main sekitar 1 jam, perut Ade keroncongan sehingga kami
membayar jasanya (maen billiard) dan berjalanlah kami ke Mall Pondok Indah (PIM)! Gelap bo' (O_o) perjalanannya dari PIN ke Mall, gak disangka...

Sesampainya disana kami makan di Daily Bread, tapi sewaktu saya sedang memesan makanan, Ade berkata, "Kak, aku kebelet nih, ke WC doeloe ya."

Dasar, bocor tuh anak. Anyways, I ate a Caesar Salad and my bro ate a Tuna Sandwich, which was all yummy yummy in the tummy! Setelah kenyang kami ke Gramedia dan beli2 komik! Senangnyaaaa.... hehehehe.... Itu-pun pas sampe di Gramedia tokonya udah mo tutup karena udah jam 21.28! Tu2pnya jam 21.30... sehingga kami buru2 berburu komik! Try to say that 10 times in a row! haha... Karena sudah malam kami berniat pulang, tetapi jalan kami pulang tidak lancar. Takada taxi di dalam area parkir Mall karena adanya pembangunan Mall PI 2, jadi
kami mencari taxi di luar area PIM. Susah juga...banyak taxi biru yang supirnya cuma mangkal disitu tuk makan malam dan kemudian pulang karena udah waktunya mereka pulang. Jadinya kami pake jasa "joki" seorang Mas2 yang bertugas mencegat taxi, dan setelah sekian lama kami
mendapatkan a ride home....fiuhh...

Sesampainya di rumah gw kira udah selese ntuh dangdutan...eehhh.. masih ada lagi! Tapi gak lama setelah gw tiba di rumah ntuh dangdutan selese sih..jadi gak terlalu lama gw tersiksa dengan aluna musik tersebut ^____^;; dan pembantu gw sampe di rumah juga gak lama setelah gw sampe. Bo-nyok gw juga sampe di rumah hampir tengah malem! Katanya tuk salaman ama pengantin en ortu mereka aja ngantri-nya puanjaaannnggg sekaleee....

Annissa & Agus

Not much to say..except...

CONGRATULATIONS NEWLY WEDS AGUS & ANNISSA!!!!!!! May 4JJ1 bless the 2 of u :)

Padahal mereka gak kenal gw^_^;; Gimana mo kenal?! Agus is the President's son and Annissa is a celeb PLUS the daughter of one of the bosses in Bank Indonesia (BI). But since my Dad works in BI AND also knows Mr.Aulia Pohan (Annissa's dad) so Dad and Mom were invited to the Wedding Reception in the Bogor President Residence. They said that there were A LOT of foooood......... *ngiler* Duh pokoke pasangan ini serasi banget² deh! Semoga langgeng!

Sleepover

Tgl 6-9 Juli sepupu² gw pada nginep di rumah gw di Blok S. My cousins: Indah, Merina (Merin/Mei2), Vira & Narisha (Isha). Pas tgl6-nya Merin ikutan lomba nyanyi si Blok M Plaza dan nyanyi lagunya Ten2Five - I Will Fly!!! Hebat deh, anak kecil nyanyiin lagu itu. Sayangnya yg mengiringi dia nyanyi mainnya dgn beat terlalu cepat, jadi aja dia gak lolos ke final, tapi berarti sudah sampe masuk tahap Semi Final! Dan itu patut dibanggakan!! Gw bilang sih sebenernya salah band pengiringya ^___^;;

Hari Kamis kita ke Gramedia, beli² komik!!! Bukan hanya sepupu² gw yg masih kecil2 itu yg beli komik, tapi gw yg umur ude kepala 2 juga beli² komik!!! :D hahaha... Sepulang dari situ kita baca² komik! Truz mandi sore en nonton Madagascar!

Hari Jumat kita ke Harvest beli roti macem²!! haha..kenyaaannngg :)

Hari Sabtu Vira dijemput Om Di²n, Te Yanti en Ucup(bukan Ucup-nya Bajuri yee..). Yg laen dijemput Om Kamil, Te Atih en Ri²n. Tapi sebelum mereka pulang semua, kita makan Mr.Celup's and Es Podeng bersama doeloe! Truz makan siang bareng di RM H.Babe Lili di daerah Dharmawangsa! Duh Ikan Kambing²nya...TOP abizzzzz... Kalo kata Tora Sudiro, "Enyak enyak enyak...!"

Oia, si Isha pake sakit panas lageeh udah gitu kentut² melulu! Udah dia kentut en kita semua nuduh dia, eh ga ngaku... Katanya, "Aku gak ngerasa.." innocently... Yaa namanya anak kecil suka lucu bin aneh kelakuannya, baru 8 tahun kalo ga salah.Truz pas udah waktunya tidur, dia gak tidur². Akhirnya gw jadi "Emak"nya tuk semalem itu, gw temenin dia ampe dia merem, baru gw sendiri tidur. Tapi sebelum gw tidur gw cek badannya apakah masih panas atau tidak. Pas gw buka selimutnyaa....*buusshh* aroma yg tak sedap keluar dari dalam lapisan selimut... itu adalah.. kentutnya Isha!!!!! HUAHAHA... >,<>2 aja.

The Walls of Life

the wall of belief is slowly built with patience and calmness,
in a sudden they tear it down...
betrayal...
a mixture of feelings inside...
emotions in a rage...
tears...
the wall of belief crumbles,
no more believing.

the wall of principle,
there since the age of time,
standing sturdily and thick as the Great Wall,
no wind can blow it down,
not even a tornado,
a thunderstorm is only a little shower,
the scorching summer sun and the freezing cold air of winter is nothing,
they try to tear it down,
the wall stands still,
but emotions play,
holding down the anger..
'til tears fall.

alone...
stone-cold heart...
another wall is built...
the cold wall of defence and betrayal.

Happy 20TH to MEEEE!!!!

Wuidih..udah dua puluh ye gw?! Hmm..Dad said for my 20th b’day I should take some time to reflect on my past, what have I done for the welfare of the society (kesejahteraan masyarakat) for these past 20 years?? Well..not much ^^; I think my mind-set should be oriented that way now. Unlike my dad who’s been dedicating his life in the development of Syariah Banking in Indonesia specifically, and also the world (IFSB). That’s an example of sumthin positive that he can contribute to the society. What can I contribute to the society??

What can YOU contribute to the society??

By the way these are the 1st 5 people to make my day thru sms:
1. Nurul (my bestest best friend since I was 3 years old!! Bulan depan loe nyusul yeee 20-nya…)
2. Kak Baby (FebLub) she’s 1 of my cousins who’s closest to me, thx Sis :)
3. Adiiiiiieeee!!!! Adie jelek en sok-dewasa-isi-smsnya! Huahaha just kidding bro! Thanx a lot 4 the wishes and wise words, usually u’re the 1st one 2 sms me in the middle of the night, but this time my best fren and cousin beat u to it!
4. Kappachan!!! (One of my bestest best fren in campus!) Thanx Nin!
5. Coro…nah ini yang bikin gw kaget (O_o) Gw pikir siape nih.. eh si Coa.. eh salah Coro (maaph Bang)


But before that there’s another bestest best fren of mine from campus who made my day wit a present, 2 DAYS BEFORE my b’day… *drum roll* Erlina!!! She gave me a present on the 15th and as I have promised I just opened it 2day..and nooo I did NOT peek at the present before my b’day ;) Thx for the present, I like it!

A YEAR!!!

Ternyata...my blog is 1 year old last Sunday, May 29^th, 2005!!! I forgot about that.. I was planning to do sumthin special for its 1st Anniversary..but I totally forgot. Well HAPPY 1^st BIRTHDAY TO http://deepblueseamewteea.blogspot.com !!!!

I'm doing a stupid thing.. It's 11AM in Lab 404 s'posed to study for Scripting Languages exam but I'm writing in my blog. Heck..it's open book..

Oia..it's been 2 years since my grandpa passed away and 1 year since 2 of my uncles passed away.. *silence for a while in remembrance* Well it's time to move on..can't hold on to the past forever.

Gw mo ujian kenaikan tingkat nih buat les biola di IYO! Tanggal 19 Juni, 2 days after my 20^th b'day! Doakan saya yach!! Dan doakan saya biar liburan ada kerjaan! Baru kali ini gw ga ada kerjaan, 2 bulan nganggur...Yeehaa! *joget2 kegirangan* Tahun2 lalu gw ada semester pendek (Compact Semester) atau Internship (PKL) PLUS e.COM! Tahun ini gw cuma Advisor en Judge buat e.COM sooo gw sebenarnya ga ada kerjaan.

Smoga saja gw jadi pergi ke Da'arut Tauhid (DT) to have some religious experience and ketenangan batin. Kalo bisa sih selain ke DT gw bisa Umroh ke Mekah. Truz pengen juga ke Bali en Jepang. Kakak sepupu gw mo ke Jepang ama Peter Pan (dia Marketing Manager buat record labelnya Peter Pan) awal Agustus & dia ngajakin. Tapi kemungkinan gw bayar tiket 'ndiri tapi ikut rombongan dia. Gw cuma pernah ke Jepang 1 kali and it was only in Tokyo's airport for a transit to LA, USA ^__^;;; didn't really go anywhere...

Well I hope I have a non-boring-holiday..but I have to go through the Final Exams first... Fighto~..O! (Ketularan "Gokusen" dari Nindya ^___^;;;;)

Kak Devy's Wedding!!

Kak Devy's Wedding was held on Sunday, May 22nd, 2005 so my family (Dad, Mom & Ikhsan) went to Bandung on Saturday morning. Cuz on Friday nite Dad had to go to a wedding reception of the child of his office colleague. With the new highway (that was used for the 50 years Remembrance of the Asian-African Conference) it only took us about 2hours to get to Bandung!! And this time the chauffeur was the one driving, cuz my dad was a bit tired, usually my dad's the one who drives. This was the first time we went to Bandung with the chauffeur, Ikhsan sitting in the front seat, and Dad sitting in the back seat of the Suzuki APV...!

Eniwei...that Saturday we checked into the hotel at about 9 AM then we went to Kinanti (Ua Tati's house). At lunch time it was Acara Mangalehan Mangan, aka "the last food given by the bride-to-be's parents to her", it's a Batak tradition. After that there was "Latihan Manortor".. kata Ua Winny aku paling bagus Manortor-nya..hehehe.. Walo badan gede tapi luwes sekali dan cepat tangkap, huehehe *jadi melayang en besar kepala* Yaa.. gw doeloe waktu kecil pernah belajar tari tradisional (Jawa en Bali) siy...

After lunch we went back to the hotel, took a bath & changed our clothes and then as usual went to CiWalk (Cihampelas Walk). We ate at Pisa Cafe, and as usual my eyes was searching for the good-looking-waiter, hehehe :D and he was there..! Lumayan cuci mata :P Oia Mom bought me this stuffed doll which is a cow, loetchoe banget bulet gituh.. I'll put the pics of it down here somewhere...

Sunday morning rain is falling.. eh enggak ding untung banget gak ujan... bisa gawat orang mo nikah malah ujan... Maxud gw on Sunday morning I had to wake up early and go to Mesjid Pusdai so I can get may make-up done. Kak Evie and I were appointed to be "Pendamping Pengantin Wanita" (bridesmaid bukan yaa..). After we got our make-up done my mom and Kak Evie's mom (Ua Erry) said we looked beautiful..! hehehe.. Mom said that after I have make-up on you can't see my pimples..!! Well good thing that all was well.. berjalan lancar maxudnyee..

After the Akad Nikah then there was the Reception. Then the bride and groom had to do the "Tor-Tor" dance (Manortor) the traditional Batak dance for weddings. After that there was "Tor-Tor Muda-Mudi" the Tor-Tor that was done by the younger relatives of the bride and groom. Kak Evie, Bang Rino, Ikhsan and I were some of 'em. Pegal2 bow! But I was happy, I can Tor-Tor. Walo gw lama di luar negeri (USA) tetep aja gw darah Batak en Sunda.. Batak abiss deh...

After the reception we went to the hotel to check out. I cleaned my face from the thick make-up and... TA-DAA new pimples...! B'coz of the make-up I got zits! Mampuss gw... Sudahlah.. ga pa2, tapi gw ga sempet copot sanggul gw (sanggulnya ga pake palsu lohh pake rambut asli gw) jadi gw ampe di Jakarta masih pake sanggul. Jadi gw mandi malem2, untung senen gw ga ada kuliah en selasa libur (Waisak).

Her thoughts...

she feels comforted by his presence
though confused at the same time
it seems right when she's with him
but she can't make up her mind
a problem she's had since she was born, she thinks...

even if she could make up her mind
she doesn't know if he's the one and
if he'd accept her
does he want to be with her?

even if she's with him
she's still curious about this other person
or you should say other people ^____^;
but most of them are people she can't reach
people too far away in position and place...



-just something I wrote about a friend, you're not allowed to know who.. cuz it's a secret between me and her-

Sakit Perut!!! Tapi teteup ke salon ^^;

Seperti biasa gw creambath wortel!! Setelah beberapa kalee gw ke INAN Salon, akhirnya creambath yang natural balik lagee...!!! Kemaren2 sempet gak ada yang Natural Creambath (wortel, lidah buaya, ginseng, etc.) dan kali ini ada yang wortel!!! Alhamdulillah...

Plus, I also had a pedicure..a paraffin pedicure!!!! So it starts with normal pedicure, cleaning your foot and shaping your nails and stuff..then the paraffin part. It is some kinda wax that's heated and YOUR FOOT HAS TO BE DIPPED INTO THE HOT WAX 3 TIMES FOR EACH FOOT!!!!


HUAAAAA....!!!! THAT was the FIRST AND LAST TIME I would do Paraffin Pedicure... Not again... I'd rather apply lotion every night to my feet than dip it into hot wax again.. No never again... And for you girls out there, penderitaannya worth it sih...tapi enggak deh jangan...


Btw, gw sakit perut bulanan... tapi demi creambath tuk rambut... hehe.. :)

Gladi Resik & Show Time!!

WHOA!!! And I thought I was late for the rehearsal in GKJ (Gedung Kesenian Jakarta).. when I arrived at 11 AM I thought they already started to rehearse..ternyata belum.. Biasa orang Indonesia jam karet^^;

The Orchestra only got a chance to rehearse the first 4 songs (played in Session 1) and we didn't have a chance to rehearse the last 2 songs (played in Session 2) on stage. When we were gonna rehearse the last 2 songs the committee of the organization of the concert said that the guests were already entering the building so we're gonna do the REAL THING!!!

OMG so nervous.. so nervous that my hands were sweating and I had lots and lotsa butterflies in me tummy! It's been a long time I haven't been on stage in an orchestra, so I was nervous! And so before the curtain opens we take our places, and the MCs start their act in opening the show...


Then the curtain opens...


claps here and there..


and.. it's...


SHOW TIME!!!!



After the show was over..LEGAAAA..... My frenz came up on stage to cipika-cipiki alias congratulated me in the concert (padahal gw cuma Violin 3 gitu lohh). I mean it was obvious that the star of the day was.... *drum roll*


Rayi! The drummer of the Orchestra and member of the Band FRD!


You got some fans there Rayi. I write this but I'm not even sure the guy reads it cuz I don't think he knows my blog, I mean I only know him as a student in SM IYO (Sekolah Musik - Indonesian Youth Orchestra / IYO Music School) Heck I don't care, it's written here already anyway...


He sang "Ordinary People" by John Legend smoothly with a great voice and he could hit the high notes too, although he was havin a cough (salut gw ama dia). The 2nd song was "Tonight Tonight" by Smashing Pumpkins, and he, the band and some of the violininsts and celloists were rockin' out! The drums stood out in this song, it sounded like a machine gun, but it was cool..!

But uhh...I got a rose.. from Mom.. hehe... Serasa jadi artis..huehehehe... :p

Gladi Kotor

Time for Gladi Kotor!!! Ternyata nyang Orchestra "muncul" pertama dan terakhir! Enak yaa.. yang Ensemble anak2 kecil..mereka tampil diantaranya jadii...abis latihan Gladi Kotor bagian mereka udah deh..pulang.. Orchestra dari awal ampe akhir harus ada di tempat latihan^^;

Semoga concert besok sukses!

Intensive Practice

Wuaduhh..semakin dekat ke hari-H semakin berat latihannya...!! fiuuhh.. Cuapekk.. Abis kuliah pulang sebentar, langsung ke tempat latihan deh (SM IYO)!

Hopefully all these tiring practices pay-off on the day of the concert!

Holiday...Practice

Today is a HOLIDAY!!! Hoooraayyy! May 5^th..I don't even know what we're havin' a holiday for. Ade gw sakit gituh gara² kecapekan EBTA Praktek SMP..jadi diem deh biasanya rame banget rumah ^^^;;

But even tho it's a holiday, I still have violin practice for this Sunday's concert (May 8^th)! Hope that the concert will be successful!

Accident?! O-M-G!

Ada2 aja ye.. Si Ardo en Tepan kecelakaan! Gak heran sih, memikirkan situasinya dimana Ardo yang menyetir motor. Nyetir mobil aja gw yang jadi penumpang ngerasa nyawa gw terancam..! Gimana motor?! Heck.. I dunno what's in that guy's mind?! I just hope that the both of them can learn sumthin from this accident..like uhh..not to drive too fast (no duhh) Tapi gw gak terlalu khawatir, orang bodoh gak mungkin sakit ^^; Lagian gw jenguk dua2nya di Emergency Room of RSP Pertamina masih bisa ngelawak! Ampuunn... Get well soon guys ;)

Arisan di Rumah baru

Rame lohhh!!! Truz ketemu si Kembar lagi (the cute Sharla & Diandra)! hehehe... I played wit' 'em for a while, but then at 2:30PM I had to go to IYO, practice for the concert. So I went there by car, and my cousin Bang Dharma dropped me off, thanx Bang ;)

Gilee...cuapek buangett2! After the family 2-month-routine-meeting (arisan) and a 3 hour (almost) non-stop practice...I was tired...fuuhh... I mean 'twas a 3-hour practice with a 10-minute-only-recess. Capek..tapi senang karena gw udah mulai bisa nangkep gimana lagu2nya nanti, hehe :)

New Laptop!!

I got a new laptop!! Tuker tambah Compaq Presario 1500 with a Compaq V2000 (2122 to be exact)... My old laptop was priced Rp.5.800.000,- lumayan-lah... It has a 14" widescreen and it's much lighter than my previous laptop. That's one of the reasons that I asked for a new one, I'm tired of lugging around that heavy thing^^; Another thing is that it was becoming a bit slow to work with.

Another good thing is that my wishes and my bro's was fulfilled. I needed a new laptop, and my bro wanted a new printer...and we got one of each! The promo was buy this Compaq V2122 and get an HP printer (PSC 1315- All-in-one Printer, Scanner & Photocopier)! Huahahahaha..!!!

I'm happy :) Thanx Dad!

Besok ada arisan keluarga di rumah..

New Layout

A couple of days ago I uploaded this Linkin-Park-black-based Layout that I made myself.. (The 1st one that I made myself, u know! *bangga* hehehe) This is actually not the final version that was in my head, but this is what I've been working on so far so I just uploaded it. If your computer doesn't have the Pristina font, then it might look ugly ^^;

Silahkan komentar..so I can improve it ;)


--------------------------------------
Updated 6:31 PM
This is the final product!!! Huehehe I like this one better than the previous :) How bout u??

HerbaLife... The way of living...

Cie..elah kayak orang Marketing gw promosi product "HerbaLife"^_^; Tapi emang gw berterimakasih kepada product tersebut.

Why? Cuz I use it!

It only took me 5 days to lose 2kg (= about 4lbs. or so)! Mungkin emang terlalu cepat tuk senang karena baru 2kg (gitu lohh), sementara gw harus turun sekitar 25kg! Doa'kan saya sukses diet yak! My target is to lose that much (25kg) by my 20^th b'day! (June 17^th, 2005 -> remember that date people! I'll be waitin' for presents... hehe... Nanti gw traktir deehh...)

Another Concert for me

In IYO every 6 months or so we have what u call “Home Concert”. So the next Home Concert will be on May 8th. This time I’m with some of the older students, students who are my age. The theme is...Pop!

The songlist:
1. This Love – Maroon 5 (I like this one)
2. Ada Apa Denganmu – Peter Pan (The song’s ok, but I’m kinda bored of it)
3. Ekspresi – Titi DJ
4. Pilihlah Aku – KD
5. The Reason – Hoobastank (I like it)
6. Toxic – Britney Spears!! (O-M-G!!)

Pas gw lihat partiturnya...huaaaa susah! Walopun gw Biola 3 (3rd Violin) tapi partnya lumayan susah... Dimulai lagi latihan2... Doa’kan saya yach!

50/50...Senang sekaligus sebel..??

Kenapa senang...??

Karena banyak cogan.. huehehe :D Jangan ditanya siapa saja.. ;)

Kenapa sebel...??

Karena acaranya kemaren malem ngaret...(>,<); Truz organization-nya kacau...

Ternyata CISV stands for Children's International Summer Village. It is an International organization that has a branch in Indonesia. I don't know exactly what they do, but in "the summer" (there's no summer in Indonesia) they trade the "students" from different countries who also join CISV.

I think I might join this organization, cuz in campus I already let go of my position as Vice President of the English Club (BEST = BiNus English Club) and I'm not in any organization at the time. Well I think I'm still a member, but I rarely come to the meetings lately ^^; (Maaf ya Faustina...m(_ _)m )

Weitsah...! Nyang maen orkestra itu tu ye..pada masih pake seragam semua..! Ada yang masih pake seragam merah-putih pula! hueeeee....gw anak kuliahan sendiri, gede sendiri, udah gitu yang laen umurnya belasan (yaa..gw juga masih belasan siih..kan 19 = sembilan belas!!!) gw ude mo 20 meeen...!!

Tapi gak pa2...bergaul dengan yang lebih muda jadi awet muda...!! huahahaha :D

List lagu2:

• Ding Dong Diggidiggidong
• French Folk Song
• When the Saints Go Marching In
• She'll Be Comin' 'Round the Mountain (Cucak Rowo..manuk'e manuk'e cucak rowo... :P)
• Drummer's March

Anak2 banget gak seehh...?? Oh well...ga pa2..mengingat masa kecil, huehehe :D
Oia gw dipanggil Kak Mutia^^;

Exaaammmsss....!!!! Concert....!!!!

Hello my prenz! Juz wanna tell ya March 28^th - April 6^th is the week of Mid Exams @ my campus! But for my class we got exams starting on March 31^st, before that we're gonna study 2gether. Today (Monday, March 28^th) we're gonna study about Distributed Systems, and 2moro Computer Organization and Architecture.

But I have another kesibukan.... SO I need ALL my friends' support and help.. In a previous entry I wrote that I have violin lessons now in IYO (Indonesian Youth Orchestra). Last week I got a call from IYO saying that I was selected for a concert on April 2^nd held by CISV (I dunno what that stands for^^) and I had to respond ASAP!!! So I discussed wit Mom, and she said as long as I can study for the exams along with the intensive practice for the concert, it's ok.. So I'm taking the chance and challenge! The intensive practice starts 2day, on 28^th - 30^th of March from 6-8 PM!! Then the concert is @ 8PM on April 2^nd.

Pray for me, ok? Insya Allah gw bisa ngejalanin dua2nya dgn lancar ;) Amiin..

Happy Birthday Dad!

Happy 48th B'day Dad!! Sorry I didn't get you anything ^^ Hope for the best for Ayah and may Allah protect you wherever you go. I also pray for Allah to give you health. HORAS!!!!

Java Jazz Fest @ Atmajaya? I don't think so...

Wuaduh hari yang kocak buat gw kemaren.. There's this Java Jazz Festival here in Jakarta where more than 100 musicians (I think that's the number) are gonna perform in more than 11 stages in JCC, Senayan on the 4, 5, & 6 of March 2005. Now they also had Java Jazz Fest Goes to Campus, where on:

• Feb 28^th, 2005 some artists perform at Trisakti
• March 1^st, 2005 some artists perform at BiNus (Kebon Jeruk)
• March 2^nd, 2005 some artists perform at Atmajaya

I missed the show in Trisakti where in the poster it says, there're gonna be Jeff Kashiwa and Maliq n D'Essentials. My frenz (Henny, Icha, Selamet & Raymond) went there, and they said that they had a special guest, which was.....

Earth, Wind and Fire....!!!!

I was like...WHOA! That's cool, 'twas free and if u wanna see them in JCC, u gotta get the tickets to the 11 stages PLUS another Rp.200.000,- (200 thousand Rupiahs) or so to see Earth Wind and Fire...!!! So I decided to go to the one in Atmajaya, cuz I had sumthin to do on Tuesday so I couldn't go to BiNus. And so...yesterday all my troubles seem so far away... *eh koq malah nyanyi*

Anyway, yesterday we went on Don²'s car to Atma after all our classes with Felix Ferdinand, Henny, Nindya, Raymond, Me, and of course Don² who drove the car (n_n); When we got there we were hungry, so we ate @ Wendy's near Aston Hotel. I didn't know that at that moment Don² said he saw Glenn Fredly was eating at the same resto as we were... If I knew that, I would've went up to Glenn and asked for his pic! Then after eating dinner, we went to the venue of the Fest.. Ohmigod...! There were lotsa people over there...sesak begitu... And they say even tho it's free u've 2 hav the tickets/invitation to get in... That sucked... so we went all the way over there just to eat at Wendy's and saw Glenn at a glance... *sigh*

The 1st: Miss Indonesia 2005!

I haven't been gettin much sleep lately.. No I was not in the pageant.. it's all b'cuz of TV (n_n); On Wednesday there were interesting movies on air, and last nite was "The 1st Miss Indonesia Beauty Pageant"! I dunno why, but I had a feeling that the 1st Miss Indonesia would be from West Java and it turns out 2 be true!! Miss Imelda F. from West Java was the winner of the pageant and also the winner for the Viewers' Choice. I knew she would win cuz she had good English compared 2 the other contestants. (Fluency in English is needed b'cuz Miss Indonesia'05 will be sent 2 The Miss ASEAN Pageant!) That's not a shock cuz she took Psychology Major in Ohio State University (OSU)!

Ohmygod! I mean, out of all the universities in the world..'twas OSU.. the campus - I've - known - all - my - life - and - wished - I - went - to - college - there. I mean I did experience living on campus there in OSU, Columbus, Ohio and I will never 4get the total 8 years I spent my life in Columbus, OH. And 4 the last 6 years or so in America I spent on campus, in 702 Cuyahoga Court, Buckeye Village 2 be exact! I was in Columbus 4 that long cuz Dad took his Master Degree and Ph.D. in OSU!

Sooo...a Buckeye is the 1st Miss Indonesia! Omg I feel touched, even though I don't know Imel but since she's from OSU and West Java (this is where my grandparents from Mom's side are from) which are the 2 factors I feel that I've connection with. Another thing in common would be my fluency in English and umm my interest in Psychology, hehe (^_^); (Gak penting ya..?? n_n)

Farewell Aki Muhdi & Ua Ono

On Tuesday (February 8, 2005) Aki Muhdi (my grandpa's older brother) passed away.. And not even 1 week after the Wedding in Majalengka... Ua Ono whose son just married on February 5, 2005 passed away on February 11, 2005... I was alone wit only my li'l bro at home that nite, cuz my parents went to Majalengka to see him being buried, and my maid went outta town back to her place for a couple of days.

Farewell Party...?? Not really... n_n

I'm gonna move in bout 2 weeks so gw jalan2 ama temen2 komplek ke CiToS. Ada Adie, Aldy, Bram, Deny, Dina, Hilman, Kiki, & Nindita. I bought Cita Cinta & SPICE!

Gong Xi Fa Cai!!

Happy Lunar New Year! Since I don’t celebrate it, I just went to PIM with Mom, Dad & Ikhsan. We met Indah there ^_^ Then from there Ikhsan went to Azalea while Mom, Dad & I went to Makro, Pasar Rebo.. Pake nyasar doeloe lagee...

Majalengka

This is the 1st time I came to Majalengka, West Java, my grandma’s hometown from my mom’s side. When we arrived I felt straight away like I was at home. We went there by convoy, in Tante Atih’s car there was Om Kamil (who was driving), Tante Atih, Ririn & Indah. In my dad’s car there was Om Bambang & Dad (who took turns driving), Mom, Tante Ina, Ikhsan, Merina, Narisha & I. We slept over at Ua Aman (Mom’s cousin) & Ua Mayang’s house (Ua Mayang is Ua Aman’s wife). We were in Majalengka because Ua Ono’s (Ua Aman’s brother) youngest son was getting married. I’ll put some pics up here...

Hi Skul Reunion

Wow there were A LOT of people who came to the reunion! I’m so happy that I got to meet my frenz, and also met my fren’s ex-crush *wink wink* hahaha... There are some pics that I might upload to www.photobucket.com so just wait for it, ok?

Farewell Ua Bandung... ;(

At about 10PM calls kept coming in. I was in my room wondering what was going on. Then I heard Dad say, "Sabar aja ya De..." I couldn’t hear clearly.. I lay still in bed 4 half an hour or so cuz I was afraid 2 go out & ask. I just knew it was bad news. Then I started 2 get sleepy.. suddenly, in a half-asleep condition@11PM Mom woke me up. She said, "Kami mau ke Bandung sekarang. Ua Bandung udah ga ada nak.." Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji'un.. I was in a half-shocked state cuz sumhow I had a feeling bout it but was shocked cuz it was true..! Ya Allah, please protect my uncle & give our whole family, especially his wife, children (Kak Fenny, Kak Devy & Band Ferdy) & mother (that's my grandma, Pung Mama) the strength 2 go thru this. I feel sorry 4 Pung Mama cuz@the age of 87, she had already seen 1 of her grandchild pass away, her husband (Pung Papa), her 6th child, her son-in-law, &now her 2nd child.. :'( She's a very strong woman & she still has strong memory! Omg, I dunno if I can still focus on my exams or not after receiving this bad news. It means The Twins' (Sharla & Diandra) grandpa passed away. My poor nieces..


-----------------------------------------------
I call my Uncle, Ua Bandung cuz he lives in Bandung. His real name is Prof. Dr. Barita Effendi Siregar. His wife: Mrs. Eritayati Lubis. His children: Fenny, Devy & Ferdy. His grandchildren: Sharla & Diandra (The Twins). His death was announced in the news paper (Pikiran Rakyat, Bandung) and also on TV that is TVRI, cuz he was the Director of Production in TVRI in 2001-2003. He was a great man & also very smart. We'll all miss you Ua...
