I have been away from home for 3 years!

Heylo everyone!

Here is another post from me.

It's 11:11 pm here now. I just came back from November feast. It was one super fun event although it was pretty tiring. It started at 4 pm and it just ended at 10:30 pm -.-" tired tired exhausted!

Today is Nov 4th 2010. 2 days ago was my 3rd year anniversary here in Singapore. 3 years and 2 days ago, I was sitting in the staff lounge with my fellow Indonesian friends, curious and anxious about everything. We were being briefed by the teachers at this time. What a sweet memory it was!

My beautiful batch in 2007 :)

 

Gearing up for Teachers' Day performance in 2008

3 years from then, I have really changed into a different person. I've learned a lot of lessons from both good and bad things I experience here in Singapore. I learned that life is unfair, that being hated is not always bad, that friends are important but not everything. Today was the last day of school. This year passed so fast, like seriously. Half of my IB journey is already gone. Next year is already Year 6 when things are gonna get tougher and tougher. Although now is holiday, I still couldn't rest completely. There are still things to do such as EE and Econs IA. Still, at least there is something I could look forward to: going home next week!

Oh well I also want to thank the people who have been my source of strength this year. So yeah let's begin :D

God - Obviously He is the first Person I have to mention here. If not for him, I wouldn't be able to survive this year. After all, who has given me all those talents and goodness of life? I learned to grow closer to Him and seek Him even more everyday. I have been reading Bible everyday now and I aim to finish the entire Bible in one year this year! There were days when I was so tired I couldn't make myself read the Bible but oh well, God is always good and faithful even when we are faithless.

My parents - Year by year I grow to realize even more that God has blessed me and my brother with wonderful parents. Nowhere in this world could you find a dad and mom like mine. God placed me in this family for a reason and I'm sure of that. Now that I'm older, I can't thank them more for all the scoldings and words of wisdom although I used to despise them. They have shaped me to be who I am today and I will forever be thankful to them. Thanks mom and dad!

Adit - Hey bang. Thanks a lot for being a very good friend of me who is always there when I need a listening ear the most. Although honestly people always ask me why we are close friends, I'm very thankful that we indeed are. Having one best friend like you is better than having a hundred friends :) All the way in your effort to pursue her!

Gideon, Aldrian, Metew - Like it or not, you were my closest friends when you were all still in ACS. And I'm glad that we are still close now although we don't get to talk much these days. Thanks for being so supportive and always listening to me chirping my problems out. I know it might have made your ears tired and all but hey, I admit it was really nice talking my problems out with you all!

Liauw - Hola Liauw! Thanks for being a wonderful and terrific classmate! Like, I think I am 100x closer to you compared to last year haha. Anyway, we have been doing well so far in IB. Let's keep the momentum and rock Year 6 next year. 45 points ftw yeah? "We can do all things through God who strengthens us." :)

Vina - Haha finally I come to you! Thanks for being my wonderful far-away friend! Although we have only seen each other twice this year (once during reuni and once when we went out during June holiday), you don't mind to keep in touch through sms, msn, facebook or skype. I really appreciate it, like seriously! Yep so I hope to see you soon next week and also in December :)

All of my friends - Thanks all for being so supportive although I didn't get to spend much time with you all thanks to council stuffs and all. Thanks for being there always as good friends to me. Thank you!
