(hopefully will be) Sweet November

This saturday will be the last day of the first week of November. Gosh, I really don’t realize that time’s flown so fast. So, how was your first week of November so far, reader? Was it exciting? Me? Not really.

Actually November won’t be as sweet as it seems for me since I have a lot of things to be completed  by the end of this month. I must finish the final project proposal. I’ve finished it though but I still have to revise it because there are some essential things and basic principles that I’ve forgotten to put on the proposal. I’ve made a target for myself that at the end of this month I’ll have presented that proposal in front of my advisors. I hope I’ll have prepared everything for  the research on December. Aaaaaahhh…I wish 1 day were more than 24 hours!

And the second thing is…jengjengjeng..

I have to complete the application for applying a master scholarship. Yeah, I got the information about master and doctoral scholarship of international program to Japan few weeks ago from my friend. I thought there are nothing to loose so I decided to apply. So, currently I’m busy with completing all of the requirements. This saturday I’ll take the ITP TOEFL test. Please wish me luck, readers! I hope I can get a much better TOEFL score than 3 years ago when I took predictional TOEFL. And uhhhh…I haven’t made my CV. I don’t have any good pictures to put in my CV. Haha..

I still  pray that my November will be sweet, though. When I’m stucked in my busy activities, I always say to myself that December is just one month away. It means that christmas is just one month away.

Enjoy your November, readers whether you’re busy or not! Have fun…..

See you later..

 

ps : finally I’ve done all of the midtests. huff..so tired with the last exam today..12 number of problems essay..can’t you imagine??

A Beautiful Mess-Jason Mraz

You’ve got the best of both worlds
You’re the kind of girl who can take down a man,
And lift him back up again
You are strong but you’re needy,
Humble but you’re greedy
And based on your body language,
And shoddy cursive I’ve been reading
Your style is quite selective,
though your mind is rather reckless
Well I guess it just suggests
that this is just what happiness is

Hey, what a beautiful mess this is
It’s like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write
Kind of turn themselves into knives
And don’t mind my nerve you could call it fiction
But I like being submerged in your contradictions dear
‘Cause here we are, here we are

Although you were biased I love your advice
Your comebacks they’re quick
And probably have to do with your insecurities
There’s no shame in being crazy,
Depending on how you take these
Words I’m paraphrasing this relationship we’re staging

And what a beautiful mess, yes it is
It’s like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you say
Kind of turn themselves into blades
And the kind and courteous is a life I’ve heard
But it’s nice to say that we played in the dirt
Cause here, here we are, Here we are
Here we are [x7]

We’re still here
What a beautiful mess, this is
It’s like taking a guess when the only answer is “Yes”

Through, timeless words and priceless pictures We’ll fly like birds not of this earth

And tides they turn and hearts disfigure
But that’s no concern when we’re wounded together

And we, tore our dresses and stained our shirts
But its nice today. Oh the way it was so worth it.

 

ps : Maybe it sounds very silly, but I want this song to be sang in my wedding, someday when I’ll have found my own prince..the best one who can accept me whoever I am-a rather- reckless-minded girl.

Another End

I used to call you my enemy

I used to call you my best friend

I used to call you my crush

You could make me laugh out loud while listening to your cheesy joke

 

But now I call you a looser

I’ve accepted your apology

But our life have changed since then

So don’t try to be my friend anymore..please

Because I want to erase you from my heart, my mind, and my feeling

From now on, we’re strangers..

Have your own life..FIND YOUR BEST ONE! I DON’T CARE!

 

*for him..thanks GOD, I didn’t waste my tears for such a people like him.

ps: I really like the words of the picture above..fortunately I didn’t make him as my everything so now I don’t feel I have nothing..really thankful about that.

Corrinne May, The Amazing One!

I forgot when was the first time I listened to Corrinne May’s songs. But I always listening to her songs since like 2 weeks ago.  I listen to them everytime because I think that there are some messages in all of her songs. Somehow her songs can give strength to my life.

The best thing that I like about Corrinne May, this Chinese-Singaporean musician, is her humble way of life. We can see it from her performance. She’s very modest and not act as though as she is a big star. For me, she’s indeed a big star. I must confess that she’s gonna be one of my favourite musician. I love her mezzo-sopran timbre of voice. I’m also a mezzo soprano. From what I’ve read in wikipedia, she has started to play piano when she was 5 years old. Waa…I also started to play piano when I was in kindergarten just like she was. Wawawaaa…!!!

Readers, you should listen to her songs!

Take a look at the ordinary, don’t need to look for paradise. You could be next to the angel in disguise.

Scars make us stronger for life

The river runs and the river hides
Out to the ocean and under the sky
I promise you, the answer will come
Hold on to the patience and watch for the sign
Everything in its time
Everything in its time

See? She’s amazing! Gosh, I wanna see her live performance someday!

Hey, What’s Up!

Life is so busy right now with all of the college things. But I enjoy it. I’m happy realizing that I’m so busy. No more time wasting time by day dreaming. Haha.

I found that I was just so lucky in the previous weeks. Everytime I prayed to GOD, HE always answered exactly what I had demanded. I’m so grateful to have a saviour like YOU, GOD! In my previous post, like a month ago, I told you about my final project. How I didn’t like my selected topic. You know what, finally I could change my topic into something I really love. Yeah, my current research project topic is multidrug resistant. And the most important thing is that I can do my final project research in my internship place in Jakarta. Woww.. I feel so blessed. I also have met my research supervisor. I haven’t known her before. But, she’s so friendly and she soooo cool. From the way she speak, I can see the genius side of her. She’s also very happy and excited when she know that I’ve prepared my own topic and that I plan to do all parts of this research including my theses in English. Yeah, I’m so on fire with this final project research. I hope I can finish my research as soon as possible, completing my theses, graduate from ITB with the title S.Si behind my name, continue postgraduate study in any country where I can get scholarship. Hahha..and then married maybe? whuahahahaha..

How’s life right now? Life’s so fun so far. My days are not filled with lots of lectures from 7 to 5 anymore. But  there are so much assignments.  So actually it’s just the same. Time is running so fast until I feel that 24 hours a day is not enough. Hufh

And what about love life. It’s suck, actually. Hahaha..No problemo. I won’t rush to find someone who fit me the best. But of course not him..haha..he’s too *what can I say?* childish for me.

Next week will be the midtest week. I have to prepare myself. I hope I can update this blog regularly.

thank you and see you again..

enjoy your saturday night, readers!

The Memory of Turkey

First of all, really sorry for these lack of updates in my blog. I was very busy with college stuffs. Hihi..

So, as I’ve promised you before, I’ll posted some pictures. I hope you enjoy it.

Istanbul

inside the Grand Bazaar, Istanbul

 

Troia

Parragamo

Ephesus

Pamukkale

Cappadoccia

Can you guess where’s my favourite place. I really like Cappadoccia with its good scenery especially in the morning. The sky is full of baloon, reminds me of  ‘UP’ the movie.

I think that’s all for this post. Once more, I think I have to apologize to you all, my readers because maybe I won’t update my blog routinely. College things are really killing me. Hahaha..

Fun & A Little Bit Exhausting

What I’m gonna talk about is my holiday. It was fun and a litle bit exhausting, like I’ve stated above. I went to Turkey last week and I’ve just arrived in Jakarta today. I really feel grateful and thankful to God because I can travel abroad again this year.  Actually I must have had arrived back in Jakarta yesterday but the 15 hours delayed flight ruined everything.

I went there with my  big family, including my aunts and uncle (8 of us). There, we visited some cities which was sooo far one from another. We visited Istanbul, Cannakale, Pamukkale, and Cappadoccia. I’ll tell more about those cities on the next post plus I’ll posted some pictures of my holiday. So, just keep on waiting guys. Today I’ll edited the pictures.

Just like my previous holidays, this year I also went to Turkey with a tour. One thing that I didn’t really like about this tour is some people are just too responsive (in a bad way of course). I didn’t like their behaviours. But overall I enjoyed this trip. I tried not to care about their behaviour.

And just fyi, I found a very handsome French guy there. OMG, he’s really handsome. Unfortunately I couldn’t take a picture of him, I was very shame because he sat right in front of me when I had lunch in a restaurant somewhere in Turkey. I heard he spoke in French and wow I love his accent. Il est tres beau. Wakakak..:DD

And yeah, I didn’t like Turkish foods. Some of them are too sweet and some are too salty but most of them are tasteless. I just love the kebap. Turkish people also are not so nice because they aware about their handsomeness (yeah!) and they think they can easily make women fall for them (yucks!) No offense..that’s just my thought, guys!

I think that’s enough

Later, guys!

 

Indonesian Youth Conference

Older people thinks that  our generation (young generation) can’t make differences in our country. They think we just a bunch of useless generation. But I can prove that those are totally wrong. Indonesian Youth Conference is a breakthrough made by Indonesia’s young generation and I think this organization is extraordinary. Indonesia’s young people also dream of a better Indonesia. But they’re not only sit down and dream, they act!

First time I knew about IYC from Alanda Kariza’s tweet on Twitter.  My curiousity brought me to its website. I explored that website and I became amazed. Most of all the founders of this organization are younger than me. They even haven’t reached the age of 20 but they can make this big thing. I really adore them so much. Right after my first visit to the website, I registered and became a member of IYC. I read the discussion threads and I became amazed for the second time. They discussed everything, from school and campus things to more serious topics like some current issues in Indonesia. Most of IYC’s members are still in high school but they all have visionable mindset. They’re main purpose is to make some differences for Indonesia.

And this morning, I got this link from IYC’s tweet to join the IYC’s cyber volunteer. I think this is the time for me to make a little change for my country. Sometimes I feel so ashamed because I’ve already this old (21 yo) and haven’t done anything for Indonesia. I’ll help IYC as much as I can through my contribution as one of the cyber volunteer. Better late than never, isn’t it?

 

ps: IYC will make a conference attended by high school students from all over Indonesia in mid 2010. Your support are needed. So, don’t hesitate to register at IYC’s website, contribute, and become a volunteer.

Final Project Topic

Finally I’ve got the topic for my Final Project. “Compatibility of some Bacterial Strains as DNA Transformation Vector”. Yeah, that’s my topic. Actually, I prefer to do my second topic. Maybe I should discuss it with my research supervisor. At least, now I feel soooo relieved. Wish me luck for a year ahead, my friends!

Perahu Kertas

Novel terbaru karangan Dee. Menurut saya ini adalah cerita cinta biasa namun disajikan dengan gaya penulisan serta sudut pandang yang luar biasa. Saya begitu terlarut dalam kisah Perahu Kertas ini hingga hanya memerlukan waktu sekitar 2 hari untuk menyelesaikan 400an halamannya.

Tokoh utamanya adalah Kugy dan Keenan. Kugy yang cuek dan sembarangan bersanding dengan Keenan yang tampan dan pendiam hingga terkesan misterius.  Mereka berdua sebenarnya jatuh cinta namun masing-masing tidak berani menyatakan perasaannya satu sama lain. Kemudian, mereka berdua sempat jatuh cinta dan pacaran dengan orang lain. Hingga pada akhirnya Kugy dan Keenan harus mengakui bahwa mereka berdua memang ditakdirkan untuk bersama. Bagian yang menurut saya seru adalah perjalanan yang mereka lalui untuk menemukan cinta itu sendiri. Makanya, baca deh novel ini dan kalian akan terhanyut dalam ceritanya. Cerita di novel ini tidak penuh imajinasi melainkan sangatlah nyata. Kita semua mungkin saja mengalami hal tersebut di dalam kehidupan.

Dialog favorit saya dalam novel ini (kira-kira seperti di bawah ini, udah agak lupa soalnya..sorry ya kalo salah!)

Kugy : Nan, cuma cowok bego yang gak tertarik sama cewek secantik Wanda.

Keenan : Sayangnya, masih ada cowok bego yang kayak gitu, Gy.

Jangan bayangkan novel ini seperti Supernova-nya Dee. Perahu Kertas sangat berbeda dengan Supernova. Saya pernah baca review di manaa gitu yang menyebutkan bahwa penggemar Supernova tidak akan menyukai Perahu Kertas. Saya bisa buktikan kalau statement itu salah. Saya juga penggemar Trilogi Supernova dan saya sangat menyukai Perahu Kertas.

This is a very recommended novel. Just read it!  This novel will make you cry and also make you laugh with plenty of Sundanese language used there.
