I need a break. A break from all of these daily routines. I wanna be free from school in the morning, private lessons and homework! Don't you think so?  I need more holidayyy, maybe a week's enough.

un petit cadeau

Back to school (I mean intensive class at Johnson. no school yet. haha) -__-
Last night I texted my physics teacher. I asked whether I have to come at 8 for substitute class or not. and yea, no reply -_- This morning mom forced me to come to Johnson at 8, although I've said NO for a million times. (yea, million times. lol) And as predicted, just as I entered the class, my teacher said "no substitute class today. come again next week) and I was like asdfghjklasdfhjkl OMG WHY DIDN'T YOU REPLY MY TEXT AHH?? (in my mind -_-) and so I waited for 2 hours till the real physics lesson started..

Anyway, Hanny just came back from HongKong and she brought us magnetic bookmarks and some chocolates. :D Love them!

Took some random pictures

P.S. jut incase you're reading this, THANK YOU HANNY :) hehehe

Strong Family, Strong Generation

Hello readers! It's been awhile. hahaha :)
4 days ago, which is Sunday, the 28th of August, my sunday school friends, teachers, and I went to Parapat to join a Family Camp for 3 nights and 4 days. We stayed in Niagara hotel. The participants weren't only from my sunday school, other Methodist churches join this camp too. More than SIX HUNDRED participants! :D There were children, teenagers, adults, and even old people. I met many old friends and made many new friends too. :)

the Niagara Hotel, I took it from a hill

the hotel swimming pool. I took it from the same place when taking the 1st pic

the way to get up the hill

my group meet up here everyday at 6.30 am :)

otw to the main hall (used for adults / special sessions where teens joined too)

Usually, children, teens, and adults are separated during bible sessions. There were 4 speakers (Pdt. Dr. Caleb Tong, Pdt. Agus Gunawan M.Th, Pdt. Prof. Kisnawaty Sinulingga, Ev. Frederika Christina Nanlohy). Teens were usually with Pdt Agus Gunawan, Pdt Sinulingga were only with us for 2 sessions. Well that's great cause I like Pdt Agus mostt ♥ He explained things clearly, told us interesting stories (mostly from his own life), and was a very good joker! hahaha :D

The teenagers were divided into 9 groups, using the names of the planets. I got Venus <3 hehehe.. My group consist of 12 members, including me. We played indoor and outdoor gamesI guess I can say that we were the luckiest group in the outdoor game time :D It was a lucky draw game. Each group were given a plastic of flour and a big bucket filled with water. Then, each group, took turns to pick a paper from a box. The committee had written something on the papers. Some were good stuffs (jackpot) and some were bad stuffs (punishments). If we didn't follow the written stuff, points would be taken away lol. We drawed 4 times.
First draw was quite unlucky..

the Pete I kept x_x lol

 We were given 28 Pete. I don't know the English word for it. hahaha. Pete is a very smelly fruit. After you eat it, your mouth will smell really bad when you talk. People said that you'll fart a lot too. ahahaha. So, my group members didn't finished them and FYI, I didn't ate any. lol
The 2nd and 3rd draw were the same :D

it means : SPLASH WATER TO THE COMMITTEE :D

It was CRAZY FUN ! Like EPIC REVENGE! Moreover, other goups helped us too! lol xD
And umm we won 250points on the 4th draw. B) hahaha

The winners were announced on the 3rd day and our group won the 2nd place!! woohoo ;D We got snacks for the prize. ahahaha

Patricia and I

I guess I won't write anymore. So byebyee

Lately, I had been CRAZYYY about bokeh. It's the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light, if I'm not mistaken. I want to create blur with beautiful quality. D; So these are some examples of bokeh ...

And... this is what I made..

so poor quality, I knoww -_-

omg this is so HEART BREAKINGGG  T_T lol

Last Friday was like the best chemistry class everr.Emily and I watched Nodame Cantabile The Movie from Emily's laptop. We're so called BAD students. muahaha. The movie was so funny plus it has cool music too.<3 so.. Emily lent me her flashdisk last Monday for me to copy to my laptop at home.  There was total 11 episodes (30 minutes each) and 2 special episodes (2 hours each). I watched 3 episodes on Monday, 8 episodes on Tuesday, and the last 2 on Wednesday. I was quite fast huh? B) Oh btw, surprisingly MOM joined me and love the movie too. I thought she was going to make me turn my laptop off. hahaha

Sorry for not writing in a few days.. I actually had my piano FINAL competition last Friday, August 19th 2011. =). The judges came all the way from UK. Both of them will perform this Sunday in our Announcement Ceremony. I really really have the intention to watch them, but unfortunately I have to attend Adam Khoo gathering in Piaget :((. Well, I played 3 songs:

1. Czerny Op. 299 no.19,
2. Haydn Sonata No. 37 in D Major, and
3. Song Without Words by Felix Mendelssohn (my favourite :D)

I actually made little mistakes in all songs. :( but I don't really regret it. I've tried my best! (well not really.. I didn't practice a lot at home cause mom's the on forcing me to join this competition. And I usually do badly when I am forced -___-) Yea I'm so silly

I took some random pictures on my piano today, here are some..

It's 11pm here, gotta go sleep. Byee xoxo ♥ :)

Happy Birthday Indonesia !

Happy 66th birthday to my beloved country, Indonesia. :)

A man reaches top part of a palm tree as a part of a competition to celebrate Indonesian's Independence day

 Indonesia is a country in Southeast Asia and Oceania. Indonesia comprises 13,466 islands and thirty three provinces. With over 238 million people, it is the world’s fourth most populous country. The country shares land borders with Papua New Guinea, East Timor, and Malaysia. Other neighboring countries include Singapore, Philippines, Australia, and the Indian territory of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Indonesia is a founding member of ASEAN and a member of the G-20 major economies. The Indonesian economy is the world’s eighteenth largest economy by nominal GDP and fifteenth largest by purchasing power parity.

 

The Indonesian archipelago has become an important trade region since at least the 7th century, when Srivijaya and then later Majapahit traded with China and India. Local rulers gradually absorbed foreign cultural, religious and political models from the early centuries CE, and Hindu and Buddhist kingdoms flourished. Indonesian history has been influenced by foreign powers drawn to its natural resources. Muslim traders brought Islam, and European powers brought Christianity and fought one another to monopolize trade in the Spice Islands of Maluku during the Age of Discovery. Following three and a half centuries of Dutch colonialism, Indonesia secured its independence after World War II. Indonesia’s history has since been turbulent, with challenges posed by natural disasters, corruption, separatism, a democratization process, and periods of rapid economic change.

Across its many islands, Indonesia consists of distinct ethnic, linguistic, and religious groups. The Javanese are the largest—and the politically dominant—ethnic group. Indonesia has developed a shared identity defined by a national language, ethnic diversity, religious pluralism within a majority Muslim population, and a history of colonialism including rebellion against it. Indonesia’s national motto, “Bhinneka Tunggal Ika” (“Unity in Diversity” literally, “many, yet one”), articulates the diversity that shapes the country. Despite its large population and densely populated regions, Indonesia has vast areas of wilderness that support the world’s second highest level of biodiversity. The country is richly endowed with natural resources, yet poverty remains widespread in contemporary Indonesia.

here are some beautiful pictures of Indonesia:

The Orange Peacock

This pencil case arrived today. I adore its cuteness and mini size. ^-^

 

It's from the sponsor lady who invited my friends and I to dance at Selecta grand ballroom on last Vesak's Day. We were the opening of the celebration and our dance title was "The Orange Peacock". I was overjoyed that the audience gave a very big applause. Glad to know our practice wasn't useless. :D
Oh and btw, we're gonna perform this dance again in October. Wish me luck =)

excuse my overlong bangs x_x

I'm sucha camwhore. Hahaha byee xoxo♥ :)
