Angie and Angel

Similar names, Angie and Angel. I think that's one of possible reason why we become a close friend because we have a similar names ha ha ha. Well, besides that similarity, we're pretty close with each other since 8th grade. I always feel comfortable to talk with her, as well as she feels comfortable to chat with me. I think I could sense a feeling of having true friend when I'm around her, I mean not just a friend, but the real one.

Today, I went to her house. She invited me to study Physics together after school. I was weak in Physics once, but since I solved that problem already, so I agreed to help Angel with her difficulties in Physics. Even I got good marks for Physics now, but I wouldn't forget how Angel and I struggled with that subject back to 8th grade. I don't want to be a smart girl by myself, but I want my best friend to be smart too. I desire to get rid all of her difficulties in Physics.

 

We were studying at Music room or I called it as Mini Theater lol

 

The room was soundproof and had this 2 comfy chairs, that's why I called it Mini Theater :P

All Physics books were scattered everywhere lol

After many minutes passed, Angel called her maid to cook 2 portion of fried rice for us. We had a slight break and ate silently before continuing our lesson.

Angel with her food :D

 

Small eyes of me, whatever ;P

 

We kept munching Lindt chocolates after lunch, she bought it from Swiss, delicious ;)

We done with our lesson after 1 or 2 hours passed. Then, we chose a movie and watched it :P We love movies. Another similarity. She loves Korean Dramas too, just like my clan lol We were having so much fun. Don't forget the last part, when we got crazy with camera :P I want to keep that precious memory in this blog. I will move to TMIS next year, so I want to get many pictures of us.

 

 

 

 

I'm an introvert person. But I couldn't be one in front of her. She has a special space in my heart. I could taste what we called true friend because of her. Well, maybe she doesn't realize it. But I mean it :) I wish our friendship will last forever.

Last Outing

I'm a happy girl, yipee! I got 100 for Biology Essay and 93 for Physics Essay. I had a Violin final examination too and achieved satisfying 85 as the result (90 was the highest score for music). I received more sweet as my friend, Ilona, gave one of her chocolate bars for me.

Chocolate that I couldn't stand for, yumm ;)

Anyway, today is the last day for Daddy to be with us before he leaves Jakarta tomorrow morning. Sigh, I don't want to let him go but however I couldn't do that, he must attend his friend's wedding and he should finish some of his business in Surabaya. He will be back on Sunday. No fun Saturday for this week ;( Since he'll leave Jakarta by tomorrow morning, so last night we managed Daddy-Daughters bonding which would be our last bonding before he leaves. Dad, Chelsea, and me ended up at PX Pavilion. We decided to go to Ranch Market and bought some foods.

View of PX Pavilion

Ranch Market located inside PX on the 1st floor

Directly took our favorite cereal, Kellog's Coco Pops, yummy ;D

Don't forget for a carton of fresh milk :D

Oh, M&M and Hersey, come to Mama lol

Saw ton of chocolates made my hands itchy ha ha ha

Picking some fruits :D

Dad was quite busy with his phone-call that time so he let us choose whatever we wanted to buy. We brought so many snacks to home (included 4 bags of marshmallow, 3 chocolate bars, cookies packs, dairy products, 2 big boxes of cereal, etc). At least we won't be starving when he leaves us here lol Bye-bye Daddy, will miss you so much here!

Will I Be Able To Solve Mathematic Problems In My Life?

I got 90 for Religion test. I got 97 for Social test. Even more, today my friend told me that I was nominated as school representative for MGMP English Writing Competition. Sigh, sounds good, isn't it? But the only problem was I got 68 for Mathematics. Wasn't I study hard before test? Yes, I surely was. Didn't I know the material for the test? Yes, I did know about it. So, what's wrong then? I have no idea either. You know, I have no problem for all subjects, but Mathematics is an execption. My average score for subject outside Mathematics is 80-100, but when it comes to Mathematics, don't ask me. I don't know why, I study hard for Mathematics, I give an extra times for Mathematics, I mostly ignore rest of the subjects for the sake of Mathematics, but seems that my brain isn't so into Mathematics. Or worst, my brain hates Mathematics? Maybe I should ask doctor about it. Sigh and breathing deeply. Okay, forget it. Maybe I should try to learn to say "It's okay, I've done my best." and let it go. For what God gave to me now, I suppose to be thankful for it. Life must go on, I may got a bad scores this time, but I won't stop doing my best. I can't change my past by what I'm doing now, but yes, I can change my future! For God, nothing impossible. And I believe when God feels I'm ready to get a good scores in Mathematics, He will give it to me. Maybe this isn't the right time for me to get a good scores in Mathematics, so I will keep doing my best but I won't force God, I will let His plans working in my life. He knows the best for me.

Check me, I still have my bright usual smile right?;D

Cheers because you got another precious life-lesson from your bad moment :)

So, will I be able to solve Mathematics problems in my life? Well, I don't know. But one thing that I know, I will keep doing my best and let God answers this question. Cheers :)

Too Many Spare Times Make You Confused?

Yes, honestly! I always busy with my school. Ton of tasks usually fill my day. Of course, I will get confused if all of sudden I have nothing to do like now. Since today I still on holiday, so I'm trying to manage some activities to avoid boredom. Early in the morning, I was swimming, not too many people there made me happy ha ha ha. After that I was hoping around from blog to blog for quite a long time. Then, I decided to draw before lunch.

 

Can you guess who?:P

Well, what can I say? I tried to draw Juan-Juan, Auntie Alice's daughter, but I have no idea if my imitation looks success lol. I need more practice, at first I wanted to draw 3 faces, but I ended up with 1 drawing only. I ate lunch directly after finished it.

 

Fermented soybean or you called it 'tempe' here with rice

 

I just love to drink ice tea :D

Anyway, I bought another Korean series last night, titled My Girlfirend Is Gumiho. I'm not sure if I will watch it soon. My mind still going around drama that I watched yesterday, Mischievous Kiss. 

My GF Is Gumiho, starring Lee Seung Gi and Shin Min Ah

I will have Korean language course tonight. Almost 1 years since the first time I attended private Korean language course. When I was in elementary, I studied Korean language by myself through books and drama. It occurred until last year my Dad found it out and he searched a private tutor for me. I planned to take a French language course for next year.

I have 5 textbooks, 3 dictionaries, and 1 vocabulary notebook to start the lesson :)

 

Passage for tonight 

Oh, I miss being like this recently! :P I don't know why I should miss things that I shouldn't miss right in my holiday time. *slap forehead*

Seems that I miss wearing my uniform and get tired after 8 hours in school, quite ridiculous :P

School With IB Accreditation

Since I've been accepted in Tunas Muda International School (TMIS) and my Dad finally payed for it last week, I think I want to discuss about International Baccalaureate (IB) program. It's important for me to find a school with good quality, not just in curriculum but for all aspects. I'll enter senior high school next year, my parents let me choose wherever I want to enroll, I made my last decision that I wanted international school with IB accreditation, there are only 33 schools authorized by IB in Indonesia. Why I chose IB instead other program? Once I thought, I should make a right decision for my life, what and who I want to be. I noticed that schools nowadays only concern with academic intelligent. Even thou I'm dong fine with my academic, I'm not a type of child who want to be sculpting inside the class for 8 hours just to listen the teacher and ordered to do lot of things. IB offers a holistic education with purpose to make a child become true human-being, not just academically but also in heart and characteristic. In IB school, student with good intelligent can't graduate without enough CAS (Creativity, Action, and Service) credits. I often think about my goals for my adult life, I want to be a person who know how to make her intelligent useful for others, so IB program suits me.

IB headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland. There are 3,083 IB World Schools in 139 countries

Last October my Ma bought 2 enrollment forms from 2 IB schools in Jakarta. Sekolah Pelita Harapan and Tunas Muda International School.

SPH enrollment form

 

This one was from TMIS

With all considerations that I thought, I chose TMIS. TMIS is near from my home whereas SPH quite far away. Even both schools are in the same IB oragnization but SPH is lot expensive than TMIS. Annual tuition fee in SPH is 12.200$ while TMIS charges 6.500$ per year. Enrollment fee in SPH is 8.250$ and TMIS is $4.500. IB schools rather expensive than others thou, but my Dad said it's better for me to enter IB school since all of my cousins are IB students so he knew IB program well. 

 

TMIS article in Indonesian Newspaper (Kompas) that I found today

Another IB schools in Jakarta are Jakarta International School, British International School, Bina Nusantara International School, Sinarmas World Academy, Gandhi Memorial International School, Global Jaya International School, Stella Maris School, etc. They are far away from my home :)

Idul Adha

Last day of school before long holiday start ;) I had 2 tests for Biology and Physics, I was pretty success with both two, I was so happy for it. By the way, today I brought a camera to my school since I had a task for Computer subject to make a website with photos that we provided by ourselves. I shot a few photos of my daily in school.

 

English literature that we learned today, titled A Stolen Party

Grace, refused to be shot but I still got her ;P

Grace shot me back, I gave her a smile :D

 

Front of my school

School tower, obstructed by a large tree =.="

 

Outdoor gym, we have another 2 inside and a swimming pool ;)

Another view

Anyway, I'm currently watching Korean mini series titled Mischievous Kiss starring Kim Hyun Jung (Boys Before Flowers) and Jung So Min (Bad Guy). They make a cute couple, I should admit that I'm pretty in love with them now :) I've been addicted to Minsun couple (Lee Min Ho and Goo Hye Sun) for almost 2 years. Sounds crazy but I'm always liking something for a long time thou.

 

Lee Min Ho and Goo Hye Sun couple, sweet, aren't they?

They both look sweet too ;)

Jung So Min as Oh Ha Ni

Kim Hyun Jung as Bae Seung Jo

I'm on episode 5 out of 16 now, so far it's funny and entertaining. Glad that I will have a long weekend for Idul Adha, start tomorrow until next Monday, there will be so many spare times for me to watch it *evil laugh*. Happy Idul Adha for those who celebrate!

Black Ribbon and About Art

Today I had a ceremony in school to celebrate Hari Pahlawan (10 November). At the end of the ceremony, teachers distributed a black ribbon for all students. They said we should wear it everyday until 22 November 2010. Do you know what that ribbon means? The ribbon represents grief for disasters that happened in Indonesia lately especially Merapi.

Black ribbon under the school logo

I hope the best for my country! And to all victims, I pray God will bless them with a true blessings and strength :) Anyway, I got the result of my two latest projects in Art subject.

 

Aquarel technique and Independence day poster project

 

Got 96 and 97 out of 100 :)

Wow, I couldn't believe it since I'm always think that my works look mediocre :P If people ask me about art, how to do it, I can't answer them, I have no idea too. Normally, I let my hands work for me, I never attend Art course in my entire life, and nobody in my family have Art talent either. So it's pretty hard to answer because I don't know 'the good techniques' to do Art since nobody ever teach me how ;( My Art teacher in school and Dad said that I don't need to attend Art course, I just need to practice more.

Spare Time and To-Do List

Saturday, suppose to be free after a busy week, but exception for me. I still have a long list of 'what to-do's. 

List that I made yesterday

• Monday: 2 Chapter for Religion test and Vocabulary test
• Tuesday: Social test
• Thursday: Final examination for Mandarin
• Next Monday: Deadline for Mathematics Project
• Next Tuesday: Essay test for Biology

Sigh, I couldn't believe I'll through this crazy schedule soon after my weekend ended. But I should enjoy it, I must do this tasks with pleasure, I shouldn't complain about it. I'm lucky enough my parents put me in a good school, I'm fortunate enough I can get an education, many children not as lucky as me right!? Anyway, for the first time since my end of term holiday ended, I drew, yes I drew today at my spare time.

My drawing, not as good as olden time, lack of practice

 

Old drawing

I hope my hands will produce a better drawing which I must increase time for practice! Happy Saturday, Happy weekend, and last Happy Deepvali!

Tiring Day

I'm so tired now, but I don't know the reason why I still want to update my blog. Today is Friday, which should be a fun day, but for me it's a tiring one. I started my day with school as usual. And I visited Angelica's home for a purpose to learn Biology together but we ended up watching movie titled A Moment to Remember. There were Angelica, me, and Ilona. It was a pretty comfortable situation that suited for me since there were just there of us.

 

A slight look for Biology, currently we learn about hormones

 

A Korean movie with title in Japanese? Had no idea :S

Anyway, I once saw this movie, but I just didn't remember it was that boring ;( Ilona headed back home before we finished our movie. 

Ilona with her freaking heavy bag

 

Angel tried to take picture of me, no way, I kept moving around ;p

After Ilona gone, Angel and I tried once again to stick with our purpose to learn Biology, but a few minutes passed, we couldn't resist our mouths to have a slight chat (which eventually happened around 30 minutes ;p). However in fact that we are a close friend that no longer stay at a same class, everytime we meet each other, we always have something to talk to. Finally, I went home around 5.30 PM (Well, I should go, even I was dying to stay).

 

Tired faces, but precious rare moment for us

I spent rest of my day at Mathematics course. Now my whole body screaming, lack of energy, begging me to sleep, I'm just tired now. Good night and happy weekend!
