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...

IYO and New Hand Phone!!

I had my 1st violin lessons 2day at IYO (Indonesian Youth Orchestra). After being absent for 4 years in playing, I'm back 2 basics! I'm in a class 2gether with a 5th grader named Priyanka & a 12th grader named Muti juz like me!

After my lessons in Panglima Polim XIII, we went 2 Mall Ambassador 2 trade my Nokia3300 with a new hand phone. I chose 2 get a N6230. Cuz it has MP3 player + camera, so I can take a pic of my li'l cousins, nephews & nieces!

I saw # 1-10 of all the Finalists of NC.
1. Adisti 3. Irine
5. Alice 6. Wenni
8. Timothy 9. Rahima
10. Andrew

I think that was the order ^_^; I’m a pretty 4getful person ya know... And these people are in the top of my rank if I was in the jury panel.

And now...the Closing Ceremony & the announcement of the winners... But before that there was entertainment from a band who played GIGI & The Calling’s songs & sound just like the original! And then...TA-DA!

News Casting: 1^st Rahima – ITB, Bandung
2^nd Irine – BEST
3^rd Timothy – PL
(And the 4th was Adisti)

Even tho only Irine was the one who brought home a trophy, but I’m very proud of all of ‘em... Faustina (Prez of BEST 2004-2005) also said so!! Rahima went back home to Bandung & arrived @ 11PM in Bandung...

NEO... The 2nd Day

I don’t feel confident 2day... The 1st round for 2day (Quarter F. II) it’s BEST Team A VS. BEST Team B!! AAARRRGGGGHHHH!!!!! We’re goin’ against our own fren! But uh... I was in a good mood when playing 2day & so when the total score was added up, BEST B got 326! Even tho Ron’s score was higher than mine (as usual) but I reached more than a 100! When usually in previous games I never reach 100 ^_^;

Yanuar, Winston, Yohannes, Irine, Adisti, Andrew, Wenni, & Rahima all made it to the finals which are held 2moro!!! For Scrabble, BEST A & B only got to the Quarter Finals III, we weren’t able to reach the Semi Finals ;(

Since Rahima made the Finals...and the bus from the hotel is always late...I asked her to sleep over @ my place, my Mom suggested it & I agreed, so did Rahima :) My parents were in Bandung while Rahima came to Jakarta from Bandung! So she cam home with me & I also dropped Adisti off @ her house in Fatmawati. On the way 2 Adisti’s house, the 3 of us saw a cute doggy which was sticking its head out of the window of a car @ a red light!

After we dropped Adisti off @ her place, we went home to Pasar Minggu. We ate Pizza Hut for dinner! And I gave all the newspapers there were in my house ‘bout Aceh for Rahima to help her in the materials for the Finals, then I go to sleep...haha...’met berjuang Rahima...!

NEO... The 1st Day

I just met Rahima 2day after the Opening Ceremony in Syahdan and we walked together with the other BEST members to Anggrek.

For Scrabble, 2day we had Preliminary I & II and Quarter Final I. Team A & B made it to the Quarter’s. For Story Telling only Yanuar passed the Prelim’s. For PI both passed the Prelim’s. For NC, all 4 BEST members plus my fren Rahima passed the Prelim’s.

The participants who I remembered from e.COM04 were the people who were in Scrabble (a lot!), people from SMUN1 Tangerang and also Alice & Timothy who were in NC. I remember Timothy cuz he was the 2nd winner of NC in e.COM04!

Oia, before dat we had a practice session @ 1PM in JWC Campus before we went to Syahdan Campus. And I arrived @ about 11AM in JWC cuz my chauffeur had to pick my brother up @ school.

My Revenge

My revenge... I’ve been thinking am I a bad person to be thinking of a revenge on someone? But then if you were hurt before, when your pride & feelings were stepped on, it’s normal to take on revenge, right? To make myself more happy, I’m gonna “beautify” myself? (is there such a word? Beautify?) What I mean is, I’m gonna lose weight, get rid of my acne prob’s and have healthy hair & skin. Since I’m 174cm tall (‘bout 5’6”), if I lose weight I might look like a model... *ngayal... dreaming...* I mean I am medically overweight, so other than my concern for my outside looks, I’m also concerned ‘bout my health. Coz if I’m overweight, lotsa weird diseases will creep into me, like heart problems, diabetes and stroke.

Well I’m babbling now... I’m not gonna tell who I’m taking this “revenge” on, coz maybe one or two of you reading this know the person. I just want this person to feel so very sorry for stepping on me like that. I mean, overweight people have feelings too you know. Please don’t judge a book by its cover!

I remember the time when I was in Ridgeview Middle School (RMS) where the popular kids didn’t wanna be near me, only 3 of them were truly nice to me... To tell you the truth, they still have discrimination in school in the US... And they say that we have the freedom to do stuff & it’s OK to be different. That’s all bull... I mean there’re lotsa kids who’re stressed out in schools cuz of the mental pressure they got. Goos thing I’m OK now, but I still wanna get revenge on this 1 person who is not from RMS. You could say I’m trying to make myself look like a model so people who make fun of me and step on me will take back their words and get down on their knees begging for their apology to be accepted. HUAHAHAHA... maybe some of you might think... “This is not the usual Mutia” or “This isn’t the Mutia that I know” Well it means you don’t know me and plus I’m already at the edge of my patience & my feelings are bursting out. But I’m not crazy to make sure! I have, at the moment, no one to talk to so I can ease myself & my feelings. That’s why I write it here.

BeTe BeTe BeTe

It’s the 1st day of the year, & I’m already starting it out on the wrong foot. It’s not like I had a very bad New Year’s Eve; neither was this day really bad. But it just wasn’t too good from beginning thru out the end. I mean we had a BBQ party @ Adie’s place for the Eve. There were about 13 people there. We also made that nite Charity Nite 4 our brothers & sisters in Aceh. I went to Adie’s house @ 9PM. The stupid thing was, I promised I would get home before “the next year”, which would be 11:30PM or so. But u know, a New Year’s Eve party will last ‘til the new year! (no duuhh..)

The 1st thing that annoyed me was an SMS from Mom saying that my cousins, aunts & uncles were looking for me @ about 10-sumthin’-PM. Then another SMS saying ‘bout the same thing from Dad @ ‘bout 11PM, plus telling me to go home. I was just starting to enjoy the atmosphere, why should I go home before 12?! The 2nd annoying thing is I met sum1 that I was not fond of meeting. It was a bit annoying cuz this person tried to be “akrab” with me, when actually we’ve lost contact for lotsa months ^_^; The 3rd annoying thing, I came home meeting my relatives who were sleeping over for Nu Year’s eating durian! Since I like durian, I ate 3 pieces (not 3 whole durians, ok? D’ya think I’m nuts to eat even 1 whole durian?!) When I was about to sleep my stomach ached. My eyes felt very sleepy & so I closed my eyes, but I couldn’t really sleep cuz of the stomachache. I finally slept @ 2:30AM & woke up @ 7:30AM on Jan. 1st, 2005 (n_n) The 4th annoying thing was, I was late for lunch on Jan. 1st, 2005 so I got a stomachache. The 5th annoying thing was I felt really cold while strolling thru the mall in Plaza Senayan. The 6th was I was also late for dinner & I had a stomachache again.. And I dunno why, sumhow I feel lotsa negative feelings right now. Like feelings of bored ness of my routines, feelings of revenge, sadness, rage, & angriness, but basically just annoyed by everything around me.

Anyway, I’m trying a nu diet. Usually I don’t have a goal in doing a diet, that’s why even though my last diet was successful, after the program was done I gained weight again.. So I’m makin’ myself a goal: By 6 months (so ‘bout June 2005) I should be able to fit in my li’l bro’s jeans. And to get my goal, I need a trigger... My trigger: To get revenge on sum1, to show that I am too good to be true. I mean you shouldn’t let people step on your pride you know.. I’ve been planning my revenge, for less than an hour while strolling thru the Metro Dept. Store in Plaza Senayan (PS) ^_^; (I went to PS for lunch with Mom, Dad, Ikhsan, Tante Atih, Om Kamil, Indah, Tante Ina, Merin, & Narisha)
