Elementary School, part I

Hello! 

I just read one of my elementary friend's blog, he wrote about his life as an elementary student, and it really brings back so much memories. To be honest, my elementary school life was probaby more exciting than High school, LOL.

I went to SD Yustia Puri, it was a very small private school. Unlike other schools, my school only had one class for each grade, and there were only few of us (students). This school was far from fancy, it was barely able to pay for the teachers. 

It wasn't my first school, I originally went to Tarakanita Elementary School, Tarakanita was honestly a much better school than Yustia Puri, but it was too far and I didn't really get along with the kids. So by the 3rd quarter my parents moved me to this tiny little school

When I first joined the class, there were about 32 students, but at the end only 21 of us stay together.

We went through so much  together! Everything from emonitional fights, groups, suicidal friends and even an angry man with a machete! 

----

My school was really small, it didn't have any field for us to play sport. But, right beside my school there was a huge field that belong to the people who lived around there. So we always did our sport lesson there and everytime the break time came, we always played together in that field. We were just little kids, we did some mistakes such as throwing our trash around and making the field messy. There was a time when we were banned from the field and we had to do our sport lesson in our small parking lot. Since that time we learned and we tried to always keep the field clean. But, we weren't the only kids who play in that field, sometimes the kids from around also liked to play there. 

One day, we had PE, but our teacher was late so we played alone in the field, then all of the sudden there was this big bald man came so fast while shouting at us. He asked us to leave the field. As if the fact that he was wearing nothing but boxer didn't scare us enough, he came with a machete! Can you believe that?! He came while shouting and lifting his machete up to the air as if we were some kind of animals! We were really scared and so we instantly flied up from the field and hid in our class. It turned out that he saw so many plastic cups in the field and he thought it was our doing, when actually it was the other kids' doing! 

Too bad, my school didn't have enough power to do anything, so there wasn't any official action taken to that scary dangerous old man.

There are so many other stories, I'll share more of them when I have the time!

 

Second Term!

Hello! It's me again, as always

So, Term II has started hooray!
I'm not really excited about 'studying' again, but I am actually looking forward to see what this new semester has for me. Well, I got some new lecturers (some of which I wish I don't) and new classmates and also new things to learn. Maybe it will be stressful again, maybe it will be hard but let's just strive for the best and enjoy it as much as I can!

here is my new schedule:

 It may seems that I have a lot of free time but I know soon it will all be full with 'responsi' and 'praktikum' therefore in the first week I pledge to enjoy these free time!

 
And these were my stuffs that I brought to Depok, my family literally laughed at me for bringing so much, but you know my motto, you can't never pack too much!

 

Let's start this semester with happy smiles and positive feeling! 

lil' reminder of pdm

kinda miss those times :')

siapkuliah!

Jadwal Kuliah! 

I used the leftover papers from faculty ospek!, it's not that bad right? 

By the way can you see it? I only have one class until 9:40 on Friday!

I tidied up my Bedroom and now it's much more liveable! 

Although I'm pretty sure it will be another train wreck soon..

 by the way thank you for the Papa Smurf! I've been hugging him to sleep every night, a good company indeed :D

the start

Hello! Finally able to post again! I had been postponing this post because the internet connection in my 'kost' is really slow, but now I am back at Home!

I know that I complained a lot about my holiday in the last post, but honestly I really think that holiday was great. I got no assignment, I got to gather with my family and I met people I missed 

I met IPA3, had an amazing day with Indan and also celebrated my birthday with yanzamicis <3

But yeah, holiday is over and it's not coming anytime soon, so I have to move on with life and live this whole new life as a mahasiswa

> So, how's campus life?

well I don't know, it's just the first week and I didn't really study anything

Although up until now I still haven't stopped asking my self "why did I choose Math?!", and I'm not sure that I'll be able to catch up... I am glad to be a part of the math dept. 2012

because I met so many great people who instantly became good friends, I got Ova the one who always comforts other, kinan the sunshiny one, Mamat who'll always be there to help (and be helped), Zan who always finds the funny side of everything, Karina, Niken, Dity and so many others <3, I've only known them for a month but they've been really important to me. and the others, the seniors are awesome

Other than that.. well I'm gonna say 'Hello' again to OSPEK!

When my friends were still in holiday I had my Faculty Ospek, when my friends were busy with their Ospek I was having the most relaxing time, and when my friends start to focus on their study... I'll have another OSPEK! Yay! Hooray! This Department Ospek will only last for two weeks,  

Hello sleepless nights! see you really soon! :*

OSPEK OSPEK

Alright! OSPEK! Orientation!

a week ago I just had Ospek in Faculty level, PSAF. Hooray!

The ospek its self was not so rough, it was full of inspiring seminar and talk show. Sure, there were a division of the commission that was ordered to be rude, offensive and ANGRY all the time, but other than them, the other comission were rather kind and friendly

The one who are angry all the time is the panel division. "FOKUS DEK FOKUS!"  Hearing those word can make all thw new students straight up their sitting posture immediately. Yep those are the signature words from the lovely Panel Division. I know they did it because it was their job, and also for our own benefit. But honestly, without decreasing my respect for them,... they were annoying as heck. When they ask you a question and you don't answer they'll scream "MAHASISWA ARGUMEN", and when you answer they'll try to analyze your every single word, find  a hole and dig it up to bury you. haha. They can be confusing too. One day, the leader asked the students who didn't finish the project to go the front. But since too may students did, he asked us to stop coming to the front. But there was a very loud mouthed senior from behind still shouting "CEPETAN DEK! KALO DISURUH MAJU YA MAJU!" ..and so the students went to the front again, then of course the leader got all angry and blamed us.

all the Panel Divission did was only shouting, verbal abuse. But it was pretty memorable.

I won't say I hate them though. Without them the OSPEK its self won't be as fun and as memorable as it is.

And they really taught us to be discipline, and train us with the hardship of campus life

So, Thank You :)

The Ospek was only for two days. Yep, it wasn't long at all.

But! the Assignments were really really a lot. I'm not exaggerating at all.

I only slept for like 4 hours every night in week

And the for last night, I only slept for an hour. and I didn't even finish it yet. As the Adzan subuh came, I was copying my essay from computer to papers. As I was wrtting, I cried. Like really cried. Tears came streaming down my face, wetting the paper I was writing on. I kept writting while crying and keep saying "I want to stop. please, I want to sleep, I don't want to go on. please. please."

LOL, everytime I remember that morning I always laugh, How could I be that desperate?!

At the end, I feel so Thankful that I got the chance to attend PSAF. Thank you for all the seniors who had been really great, and also for creating an awesome event. also Thank you for MIPA'12! You guys are totally awesome! I feel like hugging each of you at the end of the event haha

Ramadan & Kost-Kost-an

Hello! it's Ramadan month already! Alhamdulilah

I really love this month, it's just the last weeks I had been too sucked into these whole university thing that I forget to celebrate and being in the euphoria of Ramadan's coming. And now it's here already.

Ramadan has always been lovely, you see suddenly the air feel cooler and the people seem nicer. Well, maybe that's just me. ha ha

Actually, I don't really have anything to tell you it's just I feel bad if I just abandon you because nothing interesting enough happened in my life. My days have been boring. yes. boring. I slept all day and stared into the monitor all night. That's just how it has been..

By the way, I choose UI. Yes, The Yellow jackets are brighter than the blue ones. Now and then I keep thinking how the hell did I get my self into Math?! If you told me a year ago that I'd be in Mathematic department of UI I wouldn't believe it. But here I am, counting on the days when I'll start studying math for the rest of 4 years. No, I don't hate math. It's just I had not exactly been 'good' at math. When I was in tenth or eleventh grade I used to be really 'blank' at math. 12th grade, I got better but still not good enough, and after UN I had these crazy date till morning with math. and here I am, a student of Math. Just, wish me luck.

Yesterday, I looked for a place to stay, 'kost'. When I got accepted in UNPAD, I looked for kost and I got a really nice one, the house was a very nice old house, a pretty motherly old lady stays there, the room was big, and in front of my room there's a big fish pond. It was cool and feel really homey.

But Well I have to let go of that place because I move to Depok. Aaaand it turns out the Kost-kost an in Depok are way below the kost-kost an in Bandung! The environment is more crowded it's like I live in perum again. Well I got one, it's a new modern home. The room was big, it got AC, and bathroom with shower inside. Buuuuut it's really really really far from UI. It's not far if I use motorcycle, but no I'm gonna be walking. And the environment are not exactly crowded, its just full of citizen's houses. It would be hard for me if I suddenly need to eat, or you know go to indomart, or something. It would be hard if I suddenly need to print something, or if I run out of pen. Because it's far from everything.

Then, I looked for another one, and I got one really close with UI, and close with indomart and so on. But the house was not exactly good. it has bathroom inside but it doesn have AC.

I don't want to sound like a spoiled brat, but if only you hadn't noticed,  
I love coldness and I don't function in hot temperature. I love wearing thick sweaters, cardigan, and jackets. 

In Bandung I don't need AC because usually it's cold enough, but in Depok? I don't think so.

I may sound exaggerating but I'm not. Anyone who knows me well enough would know that me and hot temperature never go along well.

I want to look for more options but the other good places are taken :/

The thought of it has been clouding up my mind for the last two days

That's the update!

UI

Dear God, All I had prayed for, my only one goal, my only one wish was to be accepted in ITB but no I didn't get that, And now You give me two options, And although I really am happy, now I'm confused beyond relief.

I am glad, happy, and really thankful for it. But now I have to decide, it's kind of difficult

They say go with the subject that I like. Everyone knows I'm blind at economic, and although I don't hate math, I'm not that good at math either. I want achitecture ...

UI is more prestigious than UNPAD, I like Math better than economic, but you know how much Love I have for  Bandung. It's a town where all of my dreams harbor. A town that always  remind me of happy memories. A very special town.

So, which one should I choose?


but Yellow Jacket are brighter than the blue one..

UNPAD

---
Alhamdulilah

YAY! I got into UNPAD!
it's in Bandung! YAY!

But do you read the subject? I still couldn't believe I chose Economics. You know how much I hate that subject, and I had never studied it since the 10th grade..

But I swear I'm gonna use the rest of my holiday to study. I don't want to be left out.

Once again, Hooray!

Graduation.

I really don't know what to tell about this day, I woke up really early to get my hair and make up done, because the ceremonial started on 7:30 am. Once again, 7:30 AM! can you believe that? And to make it worse,  Angga, a friend of mine who I asked to give me a ride insisted that we should be going at least at 7. and by 7 am my hair was still untouched. So I decided to go with Icis instead. Icis' home my the salon weren't far away so  went there by becak. But the becak was pretty far, I walked for about a hundred meters, with Kebaya, makeup, and slippers. People stared at me strangely.  Alright you might don't wanna hear about my morning anymore..

So we went there by Icis' car, her father gave us a ride, but we were the last to arrive, the ceremony was already started so by the time we entered the room, everyone noticed and turned their head on us.
The graduation was not that great. It was fun indeed, but it was not memorable enough. I didn't even cry.  We took photos with almost everyone, said our goodbyes and gratitude to our teacher but that was it. By the time it was finished and people started heading home, I asked my self 'So this is it?'
It was too much of ceremony at first and nearing the end it was just 'blurry', I kept thinking it shouldn't end just like something awesome should be happening but nothing really happened. Just some random police man suddenly went up to the stage and sang.

Probably my biggest regret was, no one sang any song about Farewell. You know I really did expect some songs like 'Sheila On 7 - Kisah Klasik Untuk Masa Depan', but no one sang that. too bad.

But above all of those things, I was really happy to see all of them again, I really felt like hugging everyone even ones whom I never spoke with

Good Bye 7 Generation, and Thank You for the last 3 Years.
May the next time we meet, we'll already be a success person <3

Across The Sea With Science 3

On Monday 31st April we had a trip to various islands. It was a farewell trip to mark our last moments being together. We gathered at Riza's home at 06:00 am then went to Tanjung Pasir. We went there by 'angkot' that Riza's parent helped to rent. It wasn't the most comfortable transportation, and we were all cramped up. But being with them make me forget about those unimportant things.
First we went to the Onrust island, we saw a museum about that island in Deutch colonial's time. It was absolutely felt like a field trip LOL.  And then we went to the 'Kelor island' From afar that Island  seemed extremely gorgeous, with its white sand and old fort but as we came nearer, the beach was rather dirty and too 'declining'. So we couldn't play there. But we visited the old fort though. I understand why it had been named 'Kelor Island' the island was only as big as 'Kelor Leaf' (well not really but it was really small)
After much arguments and considering we finally chose to go to Untung Jawa island, because apparently to enter Bidadari island you need to pay for about Rp 60.000 and we refused to pay that much.

At Untung Jawa we stayed untill 4 p.m because it was raining and we were afraid about our sailing to go back home. We had so much fun, we played Banana Boat and basically going to the beach is fun even without doing anything extraordinary. I played two banana boat two time, it was really fun! I wonder since when I've been an adrenaline freak.  We exchanged gifts, mine was given to Cici, and I got a cute Angry Bird mug from Irma.

Here are the photos:::

the last daay

Yes, it's the last day of official KBM in school. Teachers said their good byes, and wishes us to succeed. Kinda sad. But nothing really happened, it was almost like any other day in school.
Yeaah please wish us to succeed!

My Class, My Friend, My Family SCIENCE 3!

I'm sure the title explains enough what I feel about Science 3. Well, I feel really lucky being put in this class. 

This class consist 32 people with their own quirks. Some are very loud, talkative and outspoken, and some others are very quiet. Each of us are very different in our special way. We don't always like the same things, we don't always agree on the same thing. But somehow we just click together. 

There are those who never get their hands off the book, those who can't leave the computer alone, those whose life really invested in games, those whose eyes are glued to their phone, those who always seem to be in their own cloud, those who barely talk, and those who can't be stopped.

I never said it out loud, but I do love every single one of them. <3

The time of change: WAKING UP

Have you ever re-considered everything in your life? Have you ever regretted wasting time? because that's exactly what I'm mourning about right now. I feel like I had been sleeping way too much, not literary it's just a phase. Looking back to my past, I asked my self, "what have you accomplished?"and the answer was shamefully nothing. All these 16 freaking years and I feel like there's nothing to be proud about. I keep telling people (and my self) to keep on dreaming. but I might had forgotten about one specific quote that I do love so much.
I forget the exact word but it went on something like this: 

"The first thing you have to do to achieve your dream is WAKE UP"

yes, WAKE UP. As a girl who has accomplished almost nothing in her life my targets are really high : 

1. Accepted in Institute Technology Bandung
2. Get a scholarship to take the postgraduate education in New York University

ITB

For now, those two are my biggest target, especially the first one. When I told my friends about it, 98% of them just laughed, thinking that I was joking but hell no! I sure am not the most diligent person in the planet, or even in my class, but sometimes you just have to push your self off the limit. I think it's kinda weird and funny at the same time. One day, my best friend Mayang asked me, "Nadya, you have no passion to go to school every day, and you're not diligent, and you hate the assignments. Why do you want to go to an university that absolutely will make you spend your years studying?"  The answer is, I know that I'm lazy. but I'm young, I really want to make my time the most of it. I don't want to spend it easily. Yes now you may think that I'm really weird. One thing about me is, I never see my self as someone who can't. I always see my self as an underachiever. I always feel like 'actually I can do it, I just need to make some attempts and definitely more efforts.' and yes I'm over confident and it's not healthy. But it's one thing that can keep me keep on believing that I can achieve my dreams. 

Time of change: WAKING UP.

As from now on, I won't think 'actually I can do it, I just need to make some attempts and definitely more efforts.' anymore because From now, I'm gonna change. I'm gonna make those attempts and I'm absolutely going to give much more efforts. I'm gonna push my self much harder. It's gonna be rough, but there are somethings in life that need to be done.
