Hello College LIFE! (and LDR)

See if you can find me hanging in this crowd


Wow, sure is fun to read what you've written. And I can't believe it's been months since the last time I posted!

SO ANYWAY, I'm a college student now! Yeah, I get to achieve my dream to be able to experience the College atmosphere. I'm currently attending my studies at Universitas Pelita Harapan (UPH), majoring Psychology.




Psychology Welcoming 2010

The people at UPH are all nice, not to mention the Seniors. They were all very welcome.
And I got to admit, the way things are in college are VERRRYY different comparing to High School. Eventhough it has less subjects, it's more serious in a whole new level.

So, yeah.

A lot of things had happened here in this 1st Semester. My Gaga-riffic performance at Porank '10 (dang it was wild! wish I had a video of it though), the spiritual experience I gain from Youth Camp 2010 (w/ my beloved roomate, Nicky! Oh how I miss her!), my musical-theatrical debut performance at Taman Ismail Marzuki, the friends I made..

..and I even traded some Christmas Gifts with them last Friday! I got a diary, a Hello Kitty alarm clock, a black watch, a framed photo with a pink mug titled "I'm a gentleman" -heck, I dunno what she meant by giving me a "gentleman" mug, how offending!- and a man-shaped mini electric fan. Right. If you couldn't catch my drift, will post pictures of 'em late-uhhhr.



These are the friends which I traded my gifts with!
From left to right: Me, Esy, Deddy, Irene, Icha & Gloria


The funniest part of College was me being reunited with my Childhood friend, Tasya! Oh we were friends ever since we're in diapers and we're totally inseparable! Well, that was BEFORE her family had to move out for work purposes. Back then we were still in the 1st grade of Elementary School. We don't contact that often ever since. Last time I saw her was when she came over to Pekanbaru to visit her grandparents, but we really didn't know our college targets, we don't share much.

So we totally freak out when we found ourselves in the same University that day. We were like "Tasya?" "Wanda!" and all huggies like the ones you'd saw in the movies.

Right.

But then again, we've reunited!


This is her munching all the food she could afford.
(Sorry, Tasya! Had to post this for entertainment! *smirk*)

And I also get to experience a Long-Distance Relationship with Gby (yeah, I'm still with him! J). But there should be no problem with that right? I mean, Hey, Wanda, you can always go back to Pekanbaru if you want to! I mean your Dad.. works there, right?

Well, FYI, people! My Dad is going to retire SOON. So there will be no longer a chance for me to EVER go back to Pekanbaru, cause we'll all be living right here in Karawaci.

*Sigh*

So glaaad that I was able to meet him before the Finals though. You see, we got a one-week-rest before the Finals and that's when I force myself to fly over to Pekanbaru. For one last look. And one last photobooth picture (one LAST picture in Pekanbaru, of course! I don't want this to be my last photo w/ him!)


me and my dearest Gabriel Frans


Well, that's all the story I could offer to you right now.

Hope you have a blast today, people!
God Bless J

Baby, tweet my life away!

Hey there, long time no blogging. I've been busy twittering lately that I no longer hv a clue what to blog. You knooow, that site where u can read other's status updates and see what they're currently doing in real life.
Sounds like stalking, I know.
But do u know what sucks? Joining this site and u still don't know what ur friends r doing.

Like right now, Siska is out in the sun living the vacation by traveling Java. She told me how Lumpur Lapindo looks like, how drunkers and fags go out at night, or how she got a tan by going out.
Adventure. Pretty exciting huh? Yet, she never tweet any of it cause she didn't make one.

Me?
All I really do since I woke this morning is having Takoyaki and Sushi for breakfast!

..And those are the kinda stuff that I tweeted.
Amusing? Are u kidding me? Well honestly it IS amusing to mee since I'm into Japanese foods. But I don't think it's necessary (did I spelled it right?)

You know, me and Riyan used to talk about this tweet-addict thing, and we used to call people with those syndrom as "tweetwhores".
(No offense yall, if I'm not mistaken, we got that name from NigaHiga, and he himself is a tweetwhore.) Yeaah we use to laugh off stuffs like that, and hey Riyan, I think I've become a tweetwhore recently.

But hey, don't blame me. When you really don't have someone to share the 'interesting' thing, where else would you go? Esp in this loooong after graduate vacation.

Anyway I gotta go now peeps, I reeaaally need to get a life. I mean really, having a Blackberry does absord you're whole life, but Imma enjoy it while I can.

Ciao!

Indonesia : Kapan kami Juara Dunia?

Selesai menonton bola -dengan result Portugal menang 7-0 dari Korea Utara- aku dan Papa langsung masuk kamar buat liat2 channel tipi yang lain. Waktu lagi asik nyari2, tiba2 hape papa bunyi. Kuliat siapa yang memanggil, eh ternyata Papa Denan, kembarannya. Di telpon Papa Denan kasih satu cerita ke Papa..

Satu hari seorang dari Korea Selatan, Korea Utara, Jepang dan Indonesia pergi mendatangi malaikat. Berempat mereka mempertanyakan fortune mereka dalam World Cup.

Korea Utara : "Kapan kami juara dunia?"
Malaikat : "20 tahun lagi"

Jepang : "Kapan kami juara dunia?"
Malaikat : "21 tahun lagi"

Korea Selatan : "Kapan kami juara dunia?"
Malaikat : "15 tahun lagi"

Lalu majulah orang Indonesia, mengajukan pertanyaan yang sama dengan yang lain :
"Kalau kami kapan, Malaikat?"
Malaikat menatap wajah orang Indonesia dengan seksama. Lalu berbalik pergi sambil menangis..

Papa : Kuno lo (ceritanya)!

I want a Role Model toooo..

Syebel deh.

Barusan waktu lagi asik (baca : nyari cara buat dilet recent post dan liat-liat foto orang) Facebook-an aku didatangin sama Siska lewat chat box. Awalnya dia komentari Profile Picture yg baru ku-upload. Sampai tiba-tiba dia ngasih tau aku kalo dia punya "role model" baru namanya Chanel Iman.


Cewek campuran Africa - Korea. Berkulit sawo dan kurus. Mirip sama postur tubuh si Siska. So I scroll to some of Chanel's photos and thought, "Wuih, enak juga ya punya role model. Jadi bisa contek-contek model bajunya..." And that's when I wanted to have one.
You see I'm not too good at mix and matching. And I know that those kinda skill would be handy karena bisa menghemat pengeluaran (jadinya ga perlu beli baju baru mulu supaya pas sama jins ini ato jaket itu. You know what I mean lah.)

But what the heck?

Aku sama skali ga tau apa nama bentuk badanku.

Skinny?

Hell No.

Plus Size?




You know I ain't that big (though being a Jedi is kinda kewl)

Aku berusaha keras mencari kata yang tepat untuk bentuk tubuh ku. Montok? Blekh. But I googled it anyway. Tapi yang kutemukan sesuai dugaan : Some NSFW articles. You get the whole idea.

Ketidaksanggupan menemukan ini membuatku merenung dengan sedih. Kenapa ga ada model yang bentuk badannya kayak aku? (kayak penting kali lah aku nih ya. Tapi ini memang patut dipertimbangkan!) I mean this IS what common people looks like. Why can't a Pear shaped body persona like me dress like the skinny modelly ones?

But anyway, I'll just keep looking.

Wish me luck, amigos.

The Man of My Dreams


Prof. W.A.F.J Tumbelaka
(24 April 1920 - Present)
My dearest Grandfather


Barusan aku search nama Opa di Google. Ga nyangka banyak banget site yang nongol isinya tentang Opa semua. Aku ketemu Profil nya di Tempo, trus ada juga buku-buku yang ditulisnya masuk Australia National Library. I can see it clearly that he is a very dedicated doctor.


Opa adalah seorang guru besar kedokteran, belajar di Amsterdam (1955), Kanada (1962), Sri Lanka (1975), dekan FKUI (1970-77), Presiden ASEAN Pedriatic Federation, dan Ketua Majelis Kehormatan Etik Kedokteran IDI (1981). He was a role model dan terdaftar sebagai salah satu Pahlawan Sulawesi Utara di bidang Pendidikan. That's how good he was.



A picture of him I found at the internet


Tapi sewaktu kecil aku ga pernah melihatnya lebih dari seorang Opa yang baik, lembut.. and a very gentleman. I remember walking into the dining room one night. Dopey, anjing Opa & Oma, datang trus langsung loncatin aku! Back then I was still scared of big dogs, apalagi anjing-anjing di rumah Opa-Oma suka gong2 smua. Then Opa dengan tegas berseru ke Dopey "Dopey! Turun!" and he would talk to Dopey as if he understood him. He told Dopey that he might scare me. Dan Dopey langsung menunduk seakan menyesal.
"Wanda kaget ya?"
Aku mengangguk.
"Dopey ga maksud apa-apa kok. Dia loncat karena dia sayang pa Wanda."
And when I heard his voice, a warmth feeling occurs him. There's something in the way he talks.. That gives me comfort.

Tiap malam, aku seringkali terbangun karena mendengar suara anak-anak di ruang praktek Opa. Padahal udah lewat tengah malam, tapi Opa tetap aja buka praktek. It's like a 24/7 clinic. He wouldn't close it until there were no patients left. Biaya pengobatan pun murah meriah. Kalau misalnya pasiennya itu ga bawa duit, he would give it up for free. But I'm sure a nice patient would come the next day to pay him right? No one would ever have the heart to do such a mean thing to my dearest Opa!

In fact, I am one of his patient! Opa kan dokter anak, so it really does come in handy. Satu kali dada kiri ku serasa sakit sekali. Back then I was still a little girl, I didn't have what people refer to as boobs these days. Aku pasti selalu ngadu ke Mama kalau sakit, and Mom will tell me to go to Opa. So he checked me and then he said to me, "Ini baru mau tumbuh Wanda. Hati-hati aja kalau jalan. Jangan sampe ketabrak barang-barang ya."
Sayangnya, karena aku masih kecil, aku belum terbiasa hati-hati. Sepanjang hari yang kurasakan tabrakan. Ntah dari pintu, meja, lemari.. semua benda keras menghantamku. O how cruel.

I love the way he talked. So warm and gentle. Tapi ga cuma Opa, aku juga senang kalau bicara soal Oma. I guess the best thing about having grandparents is that they will always tell you stories about their life, and they would always give the best advice.

And guess what? 4 hari lagi Opa genap 90 tahun. Tanggal 29 ini aku berangkat ke Jakarta buat ikut merayakan ultahnya dan ultah Eyang Uti juga.

Right now, Opa is living in my aunt's house. While Oma passed away years ago. It was a very sorrowful day for the whole Tumbelaka and Mononoetoe fam.

And although it's almost impossible, seeing his condition this day, aku berharap aku masih sempat mengambil waktu berdua dengan Opa. Just the two of us. Cause I really wanna tell him my stories. They say the elders need company. and that's all I can really offer.

I hope someday.

Please grant me that day, Lord.

Video Geng SMP : Food Family


(Fettucini, Toge, Spaghetti, Dim Sum)

Yes, that's me with the gloomy face. We were trying to copy the poster behind us.

Beberapa hari yang lalu, aku minta semua foto dan video masa kelas 3 SMP dari Vebry. And I just remember I used to have the coolest gang in Junior High. Meet the Food Family.

Honestly, I don't remember how we came up to those "food" ideas, and how we got those nicknames. Dulu ada sejarahnya. Tapi yang bisa kuingat cuma Toge sebagai Nenek, Fettucini & Dim Sum anak kembar siam si Toge, Spaghetti anak dari Fettucini.

Aaah those days were beautiful... and stupid. Prasidina kemarin Vebry a.k.a Toge baru ngirim video aku nyanyi lagu Fergalicious trus Vebry & Yana nari-nari, sementara Ghali jadi camera man.

And I honestly don't remember the purpose of this video also.


Yana laugh the hardest, Vebry was a devoted dancer (can't you see the fire in her when she dance?) Dan di bagian akhir-akhirnya aku baru nyadar liriknya diganti jadi "Togelicious".
Oh how we love our grandma Toge.

Prasidina 11 April & The Fact About Farewell

Minggu malam kemarin, diadain Prasidina di RCC pukul 19.00 - 23.00. Prasidina itu acara perpisahan kelas 3 yang juga dihadiri oleh orang tua, guru, dan beberapa orang Yayasan juga diramaikan oleh paduan suara (though Duri's choir is much more amusing, kata Siska paduan suaranya diiringi sama Sax, Piano, Trompet.. such a wow). It's like a tradition. There's always a Prasidina every year in Cendana.

Susunan acaranya? Kata sambutan, Paduan suara, pidato, paduan suara, pidato, paduan suara, akustik, pengumuman siswa berprestasi akademis & non-akademis, paduan suara, pidato, paduan suara.. aku bener udah ga ingat brapa kali pidato dan paduan suara, so I'm just writing it dramatically. Pretty boring huh? Except if you're one of those smart and lucky students going up on the stage to get some achievements from the school.








1. instead of paying attention to the preacher,
we took pictures on our seats
2. sampe orang blakang-blakang pun sadar kamera



But the last part, was kinda entertaining. In fact, I find it exciting rather than... sad. Setelah salam-salaman sama guru, us students get to hug each other, wishing for luck, bid farewell... and yeah most of them cried. I feel a bit bad laughing loudly in those sorrowful crowd, but I didn't feel the smallest will to cry. No, it's not like I'm heartless and I'd totally be happy leaving than to stay here in this school with the same faces I've seen for 12 years of education. Maybe, it's because I'm ready to face this way before they did.

What?

All of my best friends went to Java. Well, one went to Duri, but mostly Java. 1 in Solo, 2 in Jogja, 1 in Jakarta (and I don't really know if she's still there or not). I'm really used to farewell, and although I miss them.. A LOT.. there's no more point of crying over their departure anymore. Being apart is only a test. A test whether or not our friendship has a strong bond. Whether or not we are worth to be called as "true friends".
In fact, I still contact my friends. Every once in a while. We're still sharing, we're still on the track with each other.

Though crying in farewells are a common thing. But truth is, some people cried because they weren't ready to face it, so fast and sudden. Overall people cried in farewell cause they were surprised. It's the whole High School thing they didn't want to end. They don't really cry cause they won't be seeing each other anymore. Cause fact is, they could still keep in touch with each other. Like DUH that's what I've been doing with my closest friends. Being apart isn't so hard after all when there are social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, Skype, etc. Guess that's what technologies are for.

Hahaha.. It's funny that I actually wrote these stuff when last night I cried also. Not at the farewell, AFTER the farewell. I don't know, I'm still not too ready to leave my loved one here. But I know I have to face it.

After all it's just a test. Whether or not we have the same strong feeling.
True friends don't come easily, so is true love.

Song of the Day : Can't Take It In

Can't Take It In


Can't close my eyes
they're wide awake
Every hair on my body
has got a thing for this place
Oh empty my heart
I've got to make room for this feeling
So much bigger than me

It couldn't be anymore beautiful
I can't take it in

Weightless in love.. Unraveling
For all that's took out
And all of that's ever been
We're back to the board
With every shade under the sun
Let's make it a good one

It couldn't be anymore beautiful
I can't take it in

All that I wanted
All that I ever needed
All that I wanted
So beautiful


-Imogen Heap


Somehow, every time I listen to this song, I warm and peaceful feeling occurs me. Cause I had felt that. That beautiful enormous feeling..

I can feel You right here in my heart, J.

A Good Day

I just had a great time.
Biarpun tadi sempat terjebak di Pekanbaru gara-gara PSPS (damn you psps, udahlah bikin macet kalah 1-0 pula tuh), tapi aku senang banget hari ini. Nyampe rumah, jemput siska di wisma trus brusaha bikin api kecil depan rumah buat bakar marshmallow. Sampe datang Yuki, Randi ama Kenek tetap aja gagal nyalain api, yang ada tiap kali nyala marshmallownya brubah jadi Fire Ball (krn pengen cepat2 panasin sblum apinya mati).

Habis itu pergi makan di sate cun, kali ini ada tambahan Soki. Selama perjalanan di mobil menyenangkan, aneh-aneh aja yang mereka bicarain sementara aku dan Siska yang duduk di depan cuma jadi pendengar setia.

Sayangnya, bsok udah balik aja ke Duri. Aaaaw Sisky, kenapa pertemuan kita serasa bentar skali?


Me and Siska brusaha tampil beda


(...and i've got to say, diantara smua foto2 aku dan siska, ini lah yang paling normal.)

Jealousy Strikes at Midnight




Round round there goes
the needles on the clock
As I scroll down the mouse
til it was stuck to a block

Eenie meenie miny mo
they tag a photo to your wall
Then I went
Eenie meenie miny mo
there comes the spot from my mouth


Yes, drive me mad
I wonder if it's necessary
Jealousy jealousy
I knew that it was necessary
though
as I at look the time
look at the clock
it's 30 minutes to midnight

Oh baby please
Text me call me beg me
I want you please
bow down to me
Cause i ain't talking
I ain't stalking
No i think it's a common thing



Round round there goes
the needles on the clock
As I lay on my bed
Wondering what will charge ahead

Baby, thought you'd always be mine ♥

One day me and Ska were chillin' at her house. Chatting with strangers in Omegle.com (and I remember asking "are you orange?" with some guy, he said he was grey lol)

Siska was bored though so she kept asking me what music would i wanna hear. By then, Justin Bieber's "Baby" was stuck like crazy in my head, so i told her to open that.

"Awww cmon.." she wasn't happy with that idea.
"Well you asked me! that's all I got in my head rite now"

So she opened it anyway. But it turns out she found a cover version of it.
It was sooo cool.. way cooler then Bieber's in my opinion! (since Bieber's still a kid, and he sounds more like a girl. Sometimes I feel like a lesbian hearing him sing)





..and i was like Baby Baby Baby all the time.

Enjoy the song!

P.S : I'll tell you more about Omegle.com later when I found something interesting

Why Indonesian Directors made Comedy (or should I say "SEX"?) - Horror Movies

Pulang sekolah dlm keadaan pusing. Baru aja menghadapi ujian semester II. Rencananya nyampe rumah mau langsung tidur tapi nyatanya..
aku malah buka-buka internet.

Jeng Jeng Jeng!

and I end up reading some news. Judulnya sangat menarik :
Mengapa Film Komedi Horor Kian Menjamur? Simak Pengakuan Salah Seorang Sutradara

Pertanyaan itu memang selalu muncul di benak tiap kali ada film horor baru nongol di Indonesia.
Secara gitu judul-judulnya tidak jelas kyk "Suster Keramas", "Hantu Puncak Datang Bulan", "Raped by Saitan" ("Diperkosa Setan"... -WTF!?). I mean seriously, Hello? Emang ga ada hal yang lebih menarik untuk diceritakan ya? Emangnya lingkungan Indonesia ini cuma seputar setan dan setan setan dan setan dan bokep!? (Oh yeaaah, hampir smua horor indonesia ada unsur seksnya..)

But anyway, mari bicarakan sutradara nya saja. Jadi dari yang aku baca sutradara ini sengaja bikin film2 kayak gini supaya hasil karya nya membuahkan keuntungan, bukan hanya balik modal saja. Dikatakan di sini film "Suster Keramas" yang dibuatnya berhasil meraup 800rb penonton.

Like duh! Siapa yg ga penasaran ama judulnya? Suster.. Keramas? Ga cukup ya satu suster yang suka ngesot di lorong rumah sakit? Dan kenapa harus suster? Kenapa ga profesi lain kayak Kuli Keramas, Tukang Ojek Keramas, Polisi Keramas, Dokter Keramas... Kenapa SUSTER?? Are they (kuli, tukang ojek, polisi, dokter) not sexy enough to be in some sexy-horror movie?

OK, kembali ke sutradaranya. Sebelumnya dia pernah membawa proposal "Perang Paderi", yg mmbutuhkan budget sekitar Rp 20 Milyar. But he change his mind, "Kapan bisa balik biayanya? Begitulah, menyatukan antara kreatif dengan bisnis ternyata adalah hal yang sulit," begitu kata Helfi.

Well, kalau memang film nya berguna ga ada salahnya. It's a history right? Namanya orang kreatif, harus mengambil resiko! Tapi emng sih, susah mau ngeluarin film-film bermutu (dalam segi teknologi) di Indonesia. So many crisis going on.

Rite then, I feel pity about him dan terus melanjutkan membaca artikelnya. That's when he said,
"Saya juga pernah membuat film "Mengaku Rasul" dengan plot yang rumit dan akhirnya gagal di pasaran, dan akhirnya produser kehilangan sekian rupiah yang menjadi beban moral buat saya. Sayang juga kalau industri ini malah mati lagi, pasti akan banyak tenaga kerja yang terbuang. Saya yakin ke depannya pasti ada jalan yang terbaik untuk industri film secara utuh"

Aku mengango.
"Mengaku Rasul"? What kinda title is that? Baru ngebaca nya aja aku udah langsung ga tertarik mau nonton kalau pun ada. Seriously, can he think of any other story... title?? What has he been studying all this time in school??

And now he's planning to make a movie title "True Love" yang mengangkat tema cinta dari sudut pandang yang gelap. Awww c'mon.... Can you guys PLEASE make a normal movie?? What is it with mysteries these days??

I've watched many foreign movies, and they're all about comedy (no sex) and some are just about a group of girls. Tapi laku kok. Paling melenceng nya cuma di ciuman-ciuman (and sometimes it's more than just a Kiss) like duh, itu udah budaya mereka jadi ga masalah.

Kenapa Indonesia ga bikin cerita soal budaya Indonesia aja?
Adatnya atau pengaruh Globalisasi terhadap adatnya... It's interesting dan kurasa budget nya juga ga banyak, secara adat pada umumnya tidak memakai teknologi mahal dan lokasinya juga di open field. Of course, contoh yang aku cantumkan di sini agak terlalu berat untuk di konsumsi masyarakat. Tapi bisa kan stidaknya bikin film yang ada unsur "Keindahan Indonesia" walupun cuma secuil aja. It'll be mooooree INDONESIAN like!!

Film horor Indonesia bagiku malah memperjelek nama Indonesia aja. Dan tidak ada unsur kebudayaan asli Indonesia sama sekali.

Kalau orang Amerika -or who ever it is out there- bisa mempromosikan budaya mereka melalui film, kenapa Indonesia tidak??

How I got MY treat

Aku baru aja baca salah satu post di blog Gby dan aku langsung merenung.

Aku tipe orang yang jarang bawa uang jajan ke sekolah. Aku lebih prefer bawa bekal (biasanya roti meses)! Tapi karena aku sering bangun telat akhir-akhir ini dan suka lupa mau bawa bekal, how did I survive 8 and an half hour of learning in high school?

I'm just lucky I guess.

Kalo di blog Gby dia dapat uang jajan dari teman terdekatnya, I on the other hand often receive money from anyone.
Anyone.

Kayak misalnya 3-4 hari yang lalu di skolah. Selesai TO, aku, nasita, & Ami duduk-duduk seperti biasa di depan kelas. Waktu lagi asyik menggosip tiba-tiba Kiki datang out of nowhere!
"Wan, ke kantin jujur yuk."
Aku langsung heran gitu, ngeliat kantin jaraknya dekat amat ama Matem 3 kenapa dia ga jalan aja sndiri.
Jadinya aku malah melontarkan candaan ala Wanda "Jajanin aku ya!"
Eh nyata-nyatanya Kiki malah jawab "Iya iya, tenang ajalah."
Bakwan sebiji terbabat langsung.

Ato hari sebelumnya lagi.
Cewek-cewek kelas aku lagi pada ngumpul di lorong, duduk-duduk, sambil menggosip & makan-makan. Ada yang makan donat, petak, krupuk.. except for me.
Keroncongan aku langsung ngeliat smuanya pada asyik makan.
Dengan tidak tau malu, aku terang-terangan aja curhat ke smua yang ada di situ.
"Enak ya makan-makan.. Aku jadi lapar ngeliat kalian. Ga bawa duit.."
Tidak digubris.
Jadi kutatap sajalah Desi yang duduk tepat di depanku. Lalu dengan sok polosnya bertanya, "Emang enak ya donatnya des?"
Desi yang lagi asik makan donat langsung menawarkan, "Nih cobalah Wan,"
Dengan senang hati kugigit. Dikit aja.
"Lho cuma segini? Makan lah lagi wan."
"Ga ah kasian desi.." aku kan masih tau diri.
"Eh Wan," Windary yang duduk di samping Desi tiba2 menyambung, "Belikan aku petak lah, nih 2000. 1000 nya buat kau jajan. Kasian aku liat kau!"
"OKE WIN!!!"
Traktiran membuatku rela disuruh-suruh.

Dan ada juga satu kali aku duduk2 di depan kelas Bahasa Indonesia. Aku dan Riyan mengapit Ami yang lagi buka-buka internet dari VAIO nya.
It was so much fun, sampe akhirnya aku ngeliat BP lewat dengan kantong baju yang dipenuhi Chocolatos.
"Maaaauuuu"
BP yang perangainya seperti cewek mengkek kelas 1 SD malah menjulurkan lidahnya. Aku sama sekali ga butuh penghinaan ini, yang kuinginkan hanya Chocolatos!
Akhirnya karena aku ga dapat chocolatosnya, aku memutuskan untuk menyebut-menyebut namanya saja sampe aku bosan.
"Chocolatos.. Chocolatos.. Chocolatos.." seakan chocolatos bisa jatuh dari langit.
"Kau pengen kali chocolatos wan?" tanya Riyan.
"Iyaaaa yan, lapar kali. BP jelek tuh makan di depan aku pulak."
Kemudian Riyan merogoh kantongnya, mengeluarkan uang 2000 dari dompetnya.
"Belikan juga buat aku ya!" pinta Riyan sambil menyodorkan uang itu kepadaku.
Aku yang sangat tidak tau diri malah menyahut "BUAT AKU DUA YA!!"
"Suit yourself."

Dan ada juga satu kali aku, nasita, ami dijajanin Kiki di kantin Jujur cuma karena kita nemenin dia ke kantin (Parahnya masing-masing kami beli 2 gorengan). Satu kali juga, aku ngemis uang 1000 ke Yaumil buat beli Chocolatos. Dia kasih karena aku pernah ngasih dia 1000 buat beli AQUA gelas.

Intinya ya, aku ini orang beruntung yang tak tau malu dan sangat rakus, tapi sebenarnya baik. No wonder I got so many treat.

Off from Jakarta, Back to Pekanbaru

I was too busy looking for a nice BTemplate I almost forgot that I wanted to post something. Better write it before it's too late. It's almost 11 PM.

So. February 27th.
It's only been 2 days since I left Pekanbaru. It's only been 2 days since I first saw Jaga living in my Brother's house in Ubud. It's only been a day since I went to Benhil to spend some time at my Grandpa's house, to play with the dogs -since my grandpa isn't living there any longer- and my sister, of course. It's only been a day since I got so addicted to Rush Hour, the board game Jeff introduced to me. It's only been a day since I attended my Aunt's 25th Wedding Anniversary -and didn't get any seat. Great. Well it's not like I wanted some veto. Maybe just a bit- looking out for the best meal there is. It's only been hours ago since I spent some time walking at the Mall with my family. It's only been hours ago since we joked about Nia Ramadhani's "Rich Boy Radar" -heard she's got the most luxurious wedding ever- in the car.
And it's only been hours ago since I took off from Terminal 3.
Went back home to Pekanbaru.

Home?
Is it really MY home?
As soon as I get here another piece of me is missing again. Like it did before. I really miss my brother and sister. A LOT.

But anyhow, I'm here now.
Yeah. I'm here now.

I really want to pass the exams as quick as possible. Just so I could get back to Jakarta.
Was that thought selfish or what?

Sure it was.
I mean, it's not like I'm really lonely here. I've got my parents, Ety, John, my dogs, and.. Esther the Hamster.
YEAH, I mean, with 4 living people and 3 walking animals in a small house, how could I possibly call myself "Lonely"?

I really need to call my boyfriend right now.

Dear God

I have done what I can
And I'm thankful to remember that I'm doing this for You alone
I am small
but you made me greater
I am weak, but you make me stronger
I can never be of thirst

Dear God,
What I've done is nothing compare to what You've given to all of us
To me
I give only advice
But let this not be a waste.
I am not perfect
But You are
So please hear my little prayer..

Bring salvation,
Let them hear,
I love them and they deserve a place in your kingdom,
Please let this little voice, I have relive them
Wake them from their sleep, let them see the truth
That salvation only comes from You
