Yay I'm going home tomorrow! :)

Finally after counting down from H-8 all the way to H-1, I will go home tomorrow. It will be my 7th time to go home since the first time I went to Singapore. It won't be a long vacation, though. It will be less than 3 weeks and I have to study for my common test which will commence the first day school reopens. I hope I can make full use of my time in Indonesia.
Now, something more personal. I just chatted with my ex-crush on facebook today. She started the chat first in the morning asking me for help about her maths homework. I tried to help but unfortunately I couldn't (it was trigo and I admit I'm not too good at it). After scribbling on paper and tried to solve the question for half an hour, I gave up. She left without even saying thank you.
Just now I tried to start a convo with her again. I asked her a few neutral questions like why she's not going home etc. All the replies are sour and reflect no interest in the convo. I put the convo into a halt. Ah, seems that she's still bitter after what I did to her last year. I decide that I've given her enough time to be bitter and if after one year she's still bitter, I won't care already. Good bye from my life, forever. I don't think we are friends anymore. Period.

I love Singapore Mathematical Olympiad (regardless of my performance)

Today was SMO open section day. I entered the lecture theater literally unprepared, armed only with my pencil case. I didn't expect much, but in the end I really stayed the entire 2.5 hours competition. I was the only year 5 Indonesian scholar who didn't leave early.  It turned out to be quite fun! It evoked old memory of participating in similar maths competition back in Indonesia. I used to be in my old school's maths club you know!
I managed to complete 6 out of 25 questions available. I hope it could qualify for an honorable mention. That's the most I can expect for. After all, I didn't prepare anything at all for this competition. So yeah, maths is fun peeps :) I promise I will do better for my HL Maths. From now on, no more just-passing mark man!

SNSD - One Year Later

Hi all, I have never opened this blog anymore. I just noticed that the last post was made in January 2009 which was the beginning of my Secondary 4 life. If I have to list down all the changes that have been happening from that time, trust me, it will take you hours to read, let alone for me to write. Nevertheless, I will try my best to describe it here as briefly as I can :)

Well, since I'm a student, I feel it mandatory to begin by talking about my result. The good news is: MY RESULT IS IMPROVING COMPARED TO LAST YEAR!!! Even though I got the same points as last year, my average improves by one percent (which is already an achievement) and it is quite likely that I top the class :) Anyway, this will not be possible without the help from God who has seen me through my darkest days in 2009. Not only that, without Him it will be utterly impossible for me to study so hard as what I have done prior to the exams days.

On the other hand, I feel closer to my friends as well. I am now closer to some of my friends than last year: IW, Liauw, Metew, Kenny, as well as my classmates: Sucip, Ven, Sunson. I think SNSD contributed to my rosy relationships with others quite significantly. Anyway, I <3 Seohyun!! :p

All of these good things are not without a price. I have to let her go from my life in return to all these. Nevertheless, I find it right to actually do that since my future is more important. Just like Achebe said in his novel No Longer At Ease: "enjoyment can wait". Thus, I don't mind sacrificing this so that I can succeed in the future.

Next year I will be sitting for my IB courses which will be undoubtedly more difficult and challenging. I hope that I will be able to study well and focus on my study so that I can reach my ultimate target: UK!!! :)

God bless you all~

Heavenly 2009, Hell-like 2008

The new year has just begun. I start to reflect what has actually happened in the previous year. After such an awesome 'gift' I received in the last holiday, I realized that I am such a lucky person to have an almost perfect life- GOD give me and it's not from my own effort. I just read the blogs I wrote in Friendster last year and I laugh at myself of how I tried so hard to be as mature as I can in solving the problems I got. I thought that last year was the most horrible year in my whole life but I start to rearrange my mindset as I have to face a big problem just at beginning of the year. I could not specify what the problem is here but I feel languish when I know about it. Anyway let's change the topic to a more live one.

I have undergone such a tremendous change during the last 2-month-holiday especially in terms of relationship. I learn much from my relationship with my family and her. I learn to react in a clever way and not to be reactive but proactive. She has become the greatest gift I have received, after the gift of salvation from Jesus Christ and my family who care for me. I believe that this year will just be more awesome than last year, noting that my relationship life will be very much different compared to last year. I will also strive for the best in my studies so that I could fulfill my goals for 2009 =)

Do I qualify??

Wwaa exam is coming again!

Whoops it is 16th September today. It's been like 5 months ago since I started this blog but never posted for quite some time:p I still remember vividly when I wrote "exam time is much nicer than post-exam". Nah, I wonder how can I utter such irrational statement -.- Is it the statement or me who is irrational btw?

Now IT's really coming nearer and nearer. Last time I thought it's still one month to go but now it's just the matter of days before exam really starts. And have I been preparing so far? To some extent, I would say. I just don't want to disappoint anyone including myself for not being able to get good marks in this exam. I will prove that I can do it. Ganbatte!

But hey I feel something is missing to post a blog without mentioning her haha xp. Right now she must be preparing for her exams as well. I'm extremely proud of her. Even though she has to struggle really hard to get what she wants, she keeps persevering:D (jangan geer lek kamu baca ini wahaha:p)

I think enough for now cos prep time is coming soon in 20 mins. Good luck guys (and girl obviously:P) for your exams. GOD bless U all now and always =D =D
