Birthday part 2

so after the my class went home, I literally ran to my room and changed my outfit. then my mom was already waiting in the car. I didn’t even put any make up on. not even face powder.
So in part 2, we booked this restaurant/bar and this time, I celebrated it with my big family. This restaurant has a stage inside, and my father had someone to play on that stage. The person was named Anda,  
'We had a Beatles night! I even sang a couple of song!

Thinking back to that night, for those who don't know might find this party really weird. It's a sweet seventeen birthday, yet those who come mostly aged >40. Well...

here are some pictures

My Mom and aunties singing to ‘Oh My Darling’. it was absolutely funny

The people I love the most, more than anything in my life.
MY FAMILY

And this is Anda, the talented man who made the night even better. And at the end of the night we found out that he was the man who sang the song ‘tentang seseorang’ it was the soundtrack for a very famous Indonesian movie ‘ada apa dengan cinta’ if I had known it sooner I would have bragged about it. LOL

——
That’s all about my birthday, it was awesome
Thank God, Thanks everyone.

My 17th Birthday part 1!

MY 17th BIRTHDAY . part 1

it took a very long time for me to post about it, my birthday was probably 20 days ago.
You know, in here 17th Birthday is like 16th birthday for American teenager, I’ll get my id card, driving license and I’ll have the rights to choose in election.
Part I
Since my birthday was in the middle of Ramadan month, so we had a break fasting together in my home. it’s wasn’t a party, it was just a celebration. I invited all of the students in my class, the lovely 12th Physical Science 3 <3
With the girls

And the boys

With my tablemate, Ami :D

We even played fireworks afterward!

And they bought me their own birthday cake <3

I LOVE YOU SCIENCE 3! :D

Quality Time..

Quality time with my self

I know I don’t usually write a lot in here, it’s not important though, so you may want to scroll past this..
My room isn’t big, it’s only 3x4 meters, but for me it’s one huge wonderland. It has Christmas lights hung around the ceiling and also a set of unused speakers.
So I turned off the main lamp, turned on the Christmas light, put ‘The Trees and The Wild’ on repeat and connect it to my awesome speakers, and most importantly a cup of coffee. Too bad I don’t have a great cup of coffee tonight. I’m trying this ‘Creamy Cappuccino’ and it tastes like milk. bleeh :/
Let’s just say I’m savoring every moment of it, The guitar strums from the marvelous ‘the trees and the wild’ , the lights, the warmth of the ‘coffee’. None of my friends really understand why I love it so much, but I guess everyone has their own moment right?
——-
Times like this get me thinking (even a lot more than I usually do). Many things crossed my mind, mostly about human though. Weird topic, and I don’t feel like typing it down in tumblr.
Many people find me to be really talkative, but really sometimes I feel like I’m a big introvert. I spend more times alone than hanging out with friends, and I don’t mind a single bit. Sometimes I wonder, am I a loner? no. I actually really love people’s company, and it’s nice to have friends to talk to. But there are times (a lot of them) when I’d rather be alone. Not because I was down, sad or disappointed. I just plainly want to be alone, to have times for my own. Maybe it has something to do with how I grew up. No, I didn’t grow up alone and sad. I have a big brother, a (thanks god) loving family, a bunch of friends that made my childhood fantastic. But yeah, around the times when I was 13 my brother left for college, both of my parents were workaholic, childhood friends went their own way. Years of going home to find empty house (well I had a great maid though, but it’s different) must have something to do with it.

There are countless times I refused to hang out just to have time like this

Sometimes I went to the mall alone, wandering through the crowd and looking for my own peace.

Holidays and stuffs

Hello blogie! don't you think the name is cool?
Oh hey btw the National Examination is on and it's mah time to finally have good time. Unless I don't.
I'm totally fucked up! how so? I had written all the things I wanted to do in holiday on a piece of paper. And surprisingly, I took such a good care of that paper! I still have that paper. And well, what should I say.. That paper just keeps reminding me about my dreadful holiday. Well, I don't know if dreadful is really the correct word to describe my situation. it's just.... well...
I had been expecting so much from this holiday (my last holiday for the next couple month), but I have accomplished  almost no thing! well I did cook a orange sauced chicken when ended up not being eaten. But still! Mostly I'm upset at my self, upset at how I stubbornly keep doing unimportant thing..
let's see how I'm gonna put up...

Here we go NYC!

First of all, I'm sorry for my very rare update. it's almost a month huh? well so many things had happened in a moth....
Well, btw remember when I told you that my mother is going to present her poster/abstract in Global Health Conference which will be held in Washington? Remember when I told you about how unsure I was about getting my visa?
Today.... I just got back from U.S. Embassy! That was such a very thrilling experience! I felt like there was a huge monster doing gymnastic in my stomach. I was nervous that I believed I could faint at any minute..
But it was paid back when the counselor said "okay, your visa has been approved" If I didn't know better I might had literally did a happy dance.

So, it's 90% now. We've got the ticket booked. Now I can only pray to Allah SWT. Hopefully my trip to US will go without any hindrance :)

entertaing my self

Here's  a little fact about me : I'm good at entertaining my self.

Do you know who was my best friend in first grade? The school fence.
Well, first I went to the Tarakanita Elementary School. Actually  it was a nice private school, but maybe because I was probably the only kid who had gone to a different kindergarten. I fell left out, and it was so hard for me to make friends. This school had a big blue fence. Everyday I'd just be hanging around by the fence and looking if my 'nurse' was there waiting for me.
Due to my endless babbling and crying in every morning, my parents decided to move me into a school named 'Yustia Puri' this school was a private school too and it was really close from my home. The school wasn't fancy like Tarakanita but it was alright. The kids were so much more down-to-earth so it wasn't that hard to make friends. But I was a very shy girl, very self-conscious (especially because I was taller than all of the girls. Sorry bitches but I was born to be a model :p). So the first few weeks I didn't really have friends. And Guess what? the school also had a big fence. So I played with the fence, people find it weird but actually I felt like playing in a big playground. So then those mothers told my nurse how lonely I had been, they said something like "your kid is really weird!" "her face is so arrogant" "she doesn't have friend, her friend is the fence!" (I know it because my nurse told me about it later). But I didn't feel bored or lonely. I was just entertained enough...
few weeks ago my mother bring me a poster of New York which has been framed. I played with it from almost 15 minutes. I just keep flipping it with hand, feet and did another weird thing. I didn't realize what I was doing until it hit me that I had been spending my spare time playing random weird thing with a poster..
The similar things happen pretty often. I'm good at entertaining my self.

Simon & Garfunkel - America

Simon & Garfunkel - America
"Let us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes together.
I've got some real estate here in my bag"

So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner pies
And we walked off to look for America

"Kathy," I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh
"Michigan seems like a dream to me now."
It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw
I've gone to look for America

Laughing on the bus
Playing games with the faces
She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy
I said "Be careful, his bowtie is really a camera"

"Toss me a cigarette, I think there's one in my raincoat."
"We smoked the last one an hour ago."
So I looked at the scenery, she read her magazine
And the moon rose over an open field

"Kathy, I'm lost" I said, though I knew she was sleeping
"I'm empty and aching and I don't know why..."
Counting the cars on the New Jersey turnpike
They've all gone to look for America

After the big news, my dad came to me and recommended this song, he told me that it was such a good song. Well, he was right <3
