What A Day

Junior High department held a Friendship Day (actually today was the second session, first session of FD held on Monday when I skipped school as I mentioned before, I wasn't interested with Friendship-thingy), we had a lot of contests during first and second session of FD event. Indeed, I went to school this morning, just because I was a participant of Fashion Show contest (it was my responsibility as a participant to come and make my class win, I wouldn't skip this session for my class sake). My partners were Ilona and Sheilly as costume maker like me, plus Christopher and Vania as model. The chosen models would perform our 'costume-creation' on a small runaway. Funny. I didn't aim to make my model friends embarrassed with costumes that I would create, but I did embarrassed them when I (or Ilona for exact) chose a 'Christmas Theme'. We won third prize over 17 participated classes.

Made by Angie, Ilona, and Sheilly. Performed by Chris and Vania. We represented grade 9B and won third prize!

 

My favorite was grade 9E, they were awesome, too bad they didn't win cause of some criteria

It was tiring, seriously, I didn't really enjoy that kind of event. I prefer studying inside class ha ha ha. Anyway, I still have a long list of insanities.

• Secret Pal event from 8 until 15 December
• Potluck and Christmas Party on 16 December
• Yearbook photo session on 16 December evening
• Book week on 17 January
• I should make a drama script for Oliver Twist right before 17 January
• Art hand-craft project

 

See the third dot, I will have a yearbook photo session on 16 December so today Ma brought me to the mal, we were shopping for outfits folks. I hate shopping, basically. I'm a tomboy (and nerd). I think a lot about books and knowledge, but I have no attention about fashion. Only emergency-alert which able to kick me out of my shell to shop. Well, at least I had a bonding-time with my Ma, thanks to this ridiculous photo session.

Take a sneak peek :P

What a day! I really tired now. I went back home at 10 PM from mal. I didn't have enough rest these days so I will sleep right away. Night people!

Santa Daddy Granted Princess Wish

You know, I ran out of book (I finished total 800++ pages on 3 days =="). Today is holiday, this morning I dug my book-shelf in order to find something to read. I chose one book (that I bought long time ago and almost forgot about it) titled DOCTORS by Erich Segal, it was 23 cm long with 800 pages and guess what? I felt like I was sitting together with a lecturer who taught me everything about medicines. Doomed! So I ended up, sleeping anxiously (cause my body knew, I didn't need to rest but I still forced it to, I had nothing to do) from afternoon till evening.

For book sake, it was first time I faced difficulty to hold a book on my hand! It was too big

Evening came, I whispered to my Ma (so Dad wouldn't hear it, I didn't want to make my Dad tired, he should enjoy his day-off!).

Angie: Mah, mah, so bored lah! I need books. I need books!

Ma: You want me to do what for you ah?

Angie: Please drive me to the bookstore on the mal.

Ma: What? Okay, I drive you, but I don't want to get out from car, you go alone to the bookstore!

Angie: *didn't care at all* Whatever lah! I just need you to drive me. I don't want you to join me either.

Suddenly Dad came inside home after smoking, apparently he heard our small chat, he shouted sincerely with his warm voice,

Dad: What? You want to go to the bookstore? Why don't tell me? Change your clothes, I'll take you there, don't bother your Ma. 

Actually my Ma was busy with her Blackberry, sigh. It's her routine to Blackberry-ing all the time lol

 

I bought 3 novels, Impostress, Smooth Talking Stranger, and Immortal. Finally!

 

Chelsea was laughing all the time with her new comics on hand ;p

 

Ate at Solaria, I ordered Kwetiou, yummy! 

Bought treat at J.CO :D

Sigh, seems that I have a Santa-Daddy! He spoiled his children. He told us, he didn't experience a happy childhood (he quit school cause of economic problem and should working at age 9), so you can guess, he wishes us a fun happy childhood. I know how he treats me with all of his generosity. And his generosity makes me aware with my duty to please him (not like in the movies, when parents spoiled child and produce a boisterous child). I ensure myself to be discipline and finish my work carefully to reach a good result (for all aspects in my life). Maybe that's the only way for me as a child to thank him and God for life that I own now.

Bonding Time With Sonsaengnim

Phew, what a tiring noon today! I started my day with Physics course then I visited Gramedia Bookstore and purchased some school supplies.

 

Gramedia entrance

 

Bought 1 RIM A4, origami, refill ink for markers, and black solid carton 

Since I had an appointment with my Sonsaengnim (teacher) so I directly went to Patra Jasa tower to pick her.

Songsaengnim's office at Patra Jasa, Kuningan

 

 Traffic in Jakarta just simply drove me crazy

We headed to Mu Gung Hwa Yutong (무궁화 유통 - Korean distributor) at Senopati, South Jakarta. As soon as we got there, we ran into the 2nd Floor to do our shopping ha ha ha. There were a bookstore, stationery, accessories & merchandise shop, DVD rental, clothing store, pharmacy, and bakery in the 2nd Floor. 1st Floor was for supermarket plus small canteen. And as usual, all people there were Korean since Senopati is a place for Korean community . So, what I bought?

Hello Kitty spoon and chopsticks, made from stainless steel cost 8$ (I remembered Gwen when I saw this)

 

Set of Goong merchandise that I accidentally saw (and bought at last) cost 6$

Hello Kitty eraser cost 1$

Found a cute Korean statues at Mu Gung Hwa

Sonsaengnim didn't buy anything at all, she planned to buy a pair of shoes for her son but she canceled it (she forgot to take money from bank). When we finished there, she suggested us to go to Citraland Mall (CL) but I wanted to go to Taman Anggrek Mall (TAM) insted of CL. It took a pretty long time before we arrived at TAM. We both screamed Baegopha! Baegopha! Baegopha! (배고파 - Hungry) inside the car over and over again during the trip. So we 'strike' foodcourt in TAM directly after we arrived there.

TAM food-court. We ordered meatballs and rice.

Sonsaengnim took me to an accessories shop, Strawberry. Strawberry has a really girlish and cute interior plus they sell so many nice stuffs there. After that, we were spending much time to walked around TAM.

All pinks! The giant ribbon was shocking me thou lol

 

Bought 2 pencil-cases :)

 

Sonsaengnim treat me for a Choco Forest and doughnut at J.CO

We visited Mother&Care to admire baby clothes since Sonsaengnim is 7 months pregnant.

A really tiring day but fun. Sonsaengnim gave me Kimchi before I went home. That Kimchi cooked by Kim Hyang Gi Uhni (김향기 언니 - Sister Kim Hyang Gi). For next time bonding, we will go visit Kim Hyang Gi Uhni's house in Cikarang, can't wait for it ;)

Kemang and Korean Market

Yesterday (Sunday) after back from church, my family and me (except Ma) spent our time together for a small family bonding on Kemang and Senopati (Korean Market).

My church is in West Jakarta and the places we were heading yesterday, are in South Jakarta. So, it took a pretty long time for us before we reached the place. Thank God, my little siblings weren't fussy as I thought they would be.

My Dad drove the car

Chelsea, my lil' sis, played a slight magic trick with those papers

Sergio, my lil' bro, just enjoyed his time with his friend, PSP

I was hearing songs from my cellphone and soon we arrived on Kemang, everybody were starving that time, so my Dad suggested us to eat at the nearest cafe, Teras Kafe. However, I instantly declined his decision since I wanted to discover more cafes there (Well, Kemang known as one of hang-out spot in Jakarta). 

Not such a good sight outside but actually it was cozy inside! :D

We saw Pizza Marzano besides Teras Kafe but we ended up at La Codefin. La Codefin was more like a food court where many restaurants and cafes gathered at one place. Again, we ate Hoka-Hoka Bento (Japanese Fast Food that we ate at Saturday night), although there were so many variety of foods.

Sneak peak of La Codefin, I like that place!

I found an outlet of pirated DVDs at La Codefin, tons of DVD inside!

Glad I got another Sour Sally Yoghurt outlet at La Codefin ;)

After that, we went to Senopati, Korean Market for exact. If you go to Senopati, you'll see at least one Korean shop every block. We visited Mu Gung Hwa Yutong (무궁화 유통). In Korean, Yutong means distributor, Mu Gung Hwa is the name of the shop means hibiscus flower. Anyway, Mu Gung Hwa sells original products from Korea, like foods, stationeries, books, etc. You could find a Hanguk Sikdang (한국 식당), it means Korean Restaurant, which I never try, but my Sonsaengnim (teacher) said that Kimbab there is awesome. Well, I had no curiousity at all ha ha ha :D I bought Chodeungukeo Sajeon (초등국어사전) and my Dad picked a few fruits and snacks.

One big plastic full of snacks, Chocolate Pie is my favorite!

Chodeungukeo Sajeon, it's a Korean dictionary similar to Cambridge cost 41$

Old sajeon (dictionary) that I borrow from Sonsaengnim

Done, it was around 4 p.m we were going back home. We reached home at 5 p.m, had a slight rest, and out for supper. I ate noodles whereas my Dad and lil' sis ate Padang cusine. After finished my meal, we left to DVD outlet and bought some movies (Step Up 3D which my Dad recommended, Aftershock which I was dying to watch, Street Dance for my lil' sis). 

Pirated Afterschok ;p

I ended my day with my Dad, watching Aftershock and chatting about China. How China this and how China that, my Dad just simply loves 'China' topic. Aftershock is a movie about earthquake in Tangshan, China. Good movie with a deep meaning but too bad, somehow I felt so bored in the middle till the end of movie.
