Final Exam = Stress.

Hello people. Long time no see haha. The Final Exams are here and I’ve been quite busy for the past 2 weeks. I’ve finished my English, Mother Tongue, Social Studies and Elementary Maths (Paper 1) Final Exam. Just had my E Maths and SS exam today. E Maths was easy peasy lemon juicy. Haha. Well, not that easy, but it was easy. It wasn’t quite far from last year’s paper. But SS… Let’s just say that I’m already dead. I think I’ll score for the SEQ, but for SBQ… I didn’t even get to finish all! Can you believe having to write 2x4 paragraphs in 45 minutes? I think that’s crazy. Anybody who can get an A1 for SS must be a genius, and a quick writer too. I just hope I pass all of my exams and get some distinctions. Aamiin.

So… OH YEAH! I’m going back to Indonesia next week~ I won’t have to go to school on 15th October ‘cause I don’t have any exams on that day and I don’t have to go to school on 18th October either because that day will be used for paper marking. And my exam will finish at 10.15 on 14th October so I’ll be flying to Jakarta that afternoon. I am SO happy. And I think we’re gonna go to Bandung that weekend. It’s gonna be super fun!

Anyway.. I saw this super weird iPhone charger. Check it out. It’s in the shape of an umblical chord.

Cool right? Oh yeah, I also saw these cute scotch tapes.

This one will come in handy haha.

That’s all for today.. Hope you all have a nice weekend!

SMAN 1 Purwakarta pays a visit to Pei Hwa…

Hey, you know what? Some students from Indonesia are coming to Pei Hwa! Yeay! It feels like home.. HAHA okay yeah I’m exaggerating. The good news is that some of them will be learning in my class! I hope one of them will be seated next to me, it’ll feel good studying with an Indonesian :)

During English class, Mr Muru said “Eh Indira! Indonesians are coming here! When they came they asked me ‘Where’s Indra?!’” My name is actually Indira, but he pronounces it as ‘Indra’. I don’t really know why. Probably he doesn’t know, and if he really doesn’t know I’ll tell him the truth. But the thing is, sometimes he likes to make fun of people’s names. He’s not mocking or anything, I think that’s his nature. He likes to make people laugh. But then, Nicholas said “Her name is Indira.” Then Mr Muru quickly corrected his story “Oh yes, Indira! I said ‘No! There aren’t any Indras in here!” When I heard him say that, I was like ‘Hahaha no way -_-’ cause well.. They wouldn’t know me -_- I don’t even know them. Haha. But anyway.. Suddenly, in the middle of class, when we were told to correct our speeches, Mr Muru approached me and asked,

Mr Muru: What’s a cool word in Indonesian?

Me: Cool word? *confused*

Mr Muru: Yes. ‘Bisa’ is cool right?

Me: ‘Bisa’? Bisa means ‘can’.

Mr Muru: Oh yes, can.

Me: Hmmm….

*thirty seconds went by…*

Mr Muru: When you know, tell me ah.

Me: Okay.

But that was the end of it. He never asked me about the ‘cool Indonesian word’. I mean, anyway, what do you mean by a cool Indonesian word? Hmmm :/

But anyway, I hope they’ll enjoy their stay in Pei Hwa :) I just saw them when I was about to go home. They were all wearing Batiks! Yeay! Awesome! And I saw some of them with a small ‘Merah Putih’ flag. Cool :D

September Holidays, Day 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 (7th - 12th September 2010)

Day 4

In the morning I went to school for the Geography presentation. I think it went quite well :| Well, I hope it did. I realised that quite a lot of students were at school (for a holiday). I inferred that probably it was normal that during the 1 week break, the students had to come to school for ACERs or tests. Well… That’s weird. And I don’t really like it.

If I’m not mistaken, after that I went to the library for awhile. And then… Hmm I forgot :/

Day 5

In Wednesday I went to school at the usual time I usually come to school during the weekdays (was the sentence too long?); which is 06.06 AM. Very early? Well, yeah. I don’t have a private car or anything, and my house is quite far from school. But I like this condo, because it’s located in the centre of Singapore so it’s quite convenient. Anyway, the Oral was… Hmmm. I’m not really confident about this one. I’m not really the spontaneous type that can talk at 100 kilometres per hour, I’m more of the shy type of person. So it was kinda hard for me. I hope I did well. I think I should practice on talking more. Haha.

After I finished the test, I was quite relieved because I didn’t have to come to school anymore! (At least for the September holiday.) And, I was also really elated because the next day I’m gonna go to Jogjaaa….! YEAH! When I arrived home, I finished my SS homework (which took me around 4 hours to do!), and completed all the other homeworks that I haven’t done.

Day 6

You wouldn’t guess what I did that day. When I woke up, it took me a while to realise that I was going to Jogja that day. But at last, I realised, and then I sat on my bed and punched my fists upwards and said “YES! Hari ini ke Jogja!” [Translate: YEAH! I’m going to Jogja today!]. I was really, really, super duper, extremely happy.

I prepared my bags, checked that everything was prepared, and then I withdrawed some money from the ATM, just to make sure that I have enough money, in case I need to pay anything. And then at 9 I went off to Changi. The plane arrived at Jogja a bit late, and it became even longer because I was one of the last in the immigration queue -_-. But still, I was very happy that I finally met my family!

After that, we went to Krangkungan and Turonggo to meet my grandparents, and not long after that I went to XXI to watch Merah Putih II: Darah Garuda! The film was awesome (at least for an Indonesian production). I loved it :D

Day 7

HARI RAYA IDUL FITRI! I’d like to apologise to everyone for all the mistakes I’ve made. May all of you have a blissful year to come. In the morning we did the usual Idul Fitri routines. In the afternoon, I went to Hotel Griya Persada with Soekotjo family. We had games.. And in the evening we sang songs together hehe. It was fun :D

Day 8

In the morning… Mummy realised that she forgot to bring her passport! T_T Which means that she can’t come with me to Singapore. T_T. Mum… You shouldn’t have been so carelss -_-. But well… What can I do? I guess this is just one of the challenges I’ll have to face. But anyway… Let’s change the topic.

In the morning we went for a morning stroll, and into a dry river. -_-. It’s the dry season, so the river was dry. After that, we went swimming. It was awfully cold, so I think I only spent, like, 15 minutes in the pool haha. Anyway.. After that we packed our belongings and checked out, and went to visit some recreational places. One of the was the ‘____’ Arts and Culture Museum. I forgot the name hehehe. But the museum was awesome. It told the story of the Mataram kingdom.

After that we went home. In the evening, me, Mummy and Dady went to Galeria to get me some new clothes :D. Clothes are way cheaper in Indonesia than in Singapore. After that, we went to Turonggo and I said goodbye to everyone before leaving. God, I’m sad :’(

Then we went to Krangkungan. I packed my things, and then slept.

Day 9

In the morning I went to the airport. :’( :’( I’m really sad :’( :’(. In my mind, I was saying to myself, “Gosh, I’m really gonna miss this.” And I know I did. :’(

When I arrived at home.. I just realised that there was a Chemistry homework that I haven’t done, so I completed that.

Now, I’m having a chat with Dady on Yahoo! Messenger. I love my family :D

September Holidays, Day 2 (5th September 2010)

I didn’t go anywhere yesterday. Hmph. But I finished my E. Maths and A. Maths homework! Woohoo! Three down, three more to go!

What I did mostly yesterday was just… Reading, internet browsing, and homework-ing (?). Kinda boring. I just can’t wait to go home! Even though it’s only from 9th September - 12th September ;)

September Holidays, Day 1 (4th September 2010)

Yesterday… Was the day.. That I’m supposed to go home. But of course I didn’t because my flight was rescheduled to the 9th of September. Because of those stupid exams!!! GAH. On Tuesday I’ve got a geography group presentation, and on Wednesday I’ve got an English Oral Examination. I was planning to reschedule the tests.. But since the Geography work is a group presentation, I’m not sure whether my friends will like it if I reschedule it… So I didn’t. Hm :(

Well, anyway… I can’t stay mad all day. So.. I tried to do something fun to get my mind off it. Yesterday morning.. I finished my geography assignment! Yeay! One homework done, 6 to go.. Yeah, right. In the afternoon, I went to the Toa Payoh Public Library and made a membership card, and I borrowed 3 books; “Weird”, “Oh. My. Gods.” and “Imaginary Enemy”. Then, after that I went to Popular and bought watercolor pencils, painting brushes, and a pen. I also bought plastic cups (for painting; for the water… You know right?) and a jelly for breakfasting :D.

I got pretty bored after that… :( And I was jealous with my brother and sister because I wanted to be in Jogja too! :( But I can’t. Hmph. Well, I hope Steve Jobs is right. He said that we might not see how the dots connect now, but it will all seem clear in 10 or 20 years. The “dots” refer to the things that happen in our life, mostly the hard things I guess. ‘Cause that’s what I’m experiencing now. I live in a foreign country on my own… Great experience, but you’ve got to give a lot for it, too. But I’m pretty grateful that I got this opportunity.. I’m sure it will come in handy :)

My Mid Year Exam results.. Not so good, but I bet I can catch up! Just watch me!

At last, the Mid Year Exams finished... Today, we went to school as usual, and we studied as usual. Aww man, the MYE has finished, please... I want some fun! In Indonesia, I was preparing for both the national exams, and the PACT. And now, after all of that has finished, I still have to catch up with the things here.

Anyway, I found out the results of some of my MYEs;

• Malay: 35 out of 70. Did I pass?
• Geography: 13/40. I FAILED.

For Malay... I think I will do well. I only need to get used to the language, and that's all. It's not quite different from Indonesian, only some of the tenses and words are different. So I think I'll do well later.

For Geography... I will try to do better. Because I know I can do it. I missed a lot of the things, so it's normal for me to fail the test. And... The teacher said I put a lot effort in it, which means I will do better!

So... I guess I'll have to spend some of my holiday studying. I hope I'll learn fast, Aamiin. And I hope I can be one of the smart kids in class, Aamiin. :)

I'm gonna miss Indonesia ;'(

In a matter of 2 or 3 weeks, I'll be moving to Singapore. Aw God, I'm really gonna miss my friends.. I'm gonna miss my life in Indonesia, my friends, my school, my teacher, my cats.. EVERYBODY! I wish I didn't have to move so sudden. But that's the only choice I have for now. I'm gonna miss you guys ;'(

Well, moving to Singapore would be a disadvantage, but an advantage at the same time. Singapore provides better education, and better environment. I can't just skip on this opportunity, and anyway, I can't. I will surely have to move to Singapore, my whole family is moving there. If I chose to stay (which is impossible), I won't have anywhere to live. Well, maybe I can live in Jogja with my grandparents, but it's still the same, the choice is moving to Singapore or moving to Jogja. Well of course I'll chose Singapore. But God has given us this opportunity, this rare opportunity, and I must use this opportunity.

It's a real bummer that I have to move so quick, all that I hope is that I'll enjoy my life there, and that I will use my time and opportunity wisely. And one more thing... I hope we'll visit Jakarta.. I WILL SURELY MISS MY FRIENDS ;'(

Hey fellas!

Long time no see! I haven't been posting for a very long time, but I've been on Tumblr a lot lately. Hmm I don't know why, but I wasn't really in the mood to blog. But now, some of my friends have been blogging a lot, and that have kinda made me wanna come back to my blogging life, so here I am. Well, I know I'm not good at making articles or things, I'm not good at writing, so what I'd like to say is 'Sorry if my posts aren't good enough for you.' But I hope you like them! :)

And by the way, here's the link to my Tumblr >> http://dirascorpio.tumblr.com/

Feel free to check it out some time!

Thank you for reading

Pingin bolos deh

UPACARA! Urghh.... Males deh. Tapi harus masuk, karena; (1) hari ini katanya hari terakhir ngembaliin buku, sedangkan aku belum balikin satu pun. (2) aku disuruh ikut choir upacara, udah latihan lagi hari Jum'at, sia sia kalo nggak dateng. (3) kayaknya nggak bakal dibolehin bolos deh. (4) takut ketinggalan info penting. Huuuh.

Jadi tadi aku ikutan choir deh. Untung juga sih, karena dapet nilai tambahan (YESS!). Trus habis itu kita ke kelas, trus mau balikin buku. Trus aku sadar : OH NO AKU LUPA BAWA KUNCI LOKER!! Gawat! Bukuku semua ada di loker. Sial. Untungnya, Ms. Resti punya cadangan kunci loker anak Boas, jadinya aku minjem deh ke Ms. Resti. Tapi masih ada masalah lagi : BUKU MATHKU ILANG! Sial. Untungnya, aku dikasih 100.000 sama mama untuk nggantiin bukunya, dan untungnya lagi, disuruh nggantiin 90.000, jadi uangnya cukup. Jadi aku udah nggak ada utang buku lagi sama sekolah. And the good news is, that, tahun ajaran depan, aku bakal dibeliin buku pelajaran sendiri, jadi bisa dicoret-coret.

Trus, tadi aku dikasih tau Ms. Resti : aku bakal sekelas sama Lala! Tapi itu baru perkiraan doang sih. Semoga aja deh. Tapi aku tetep penasaran, tentang 3 hal : (1) aku bakal sekelas sama siapa. (2) aku bakal kelas apa. (3) guruku bakal siapa.

TRYOUTS

Besok ada Try Out. Males. Buat nentuin kelas. Katanya sih, nanti kelas 9 berdasarkan nilai, yang pinter sekelas, yang bodoh sekelas. Sepertinya ini cara kurang baik, karena nanti yang masuk di kelas yang bodoh, jadi merasa kurang pinter. Aku sih juga sebenernya nggak mau.... Tapi ya udah lah. Tapi, semoga nanti aku sekelas sama temen temenku dan gurunya yang baik, Aamiin.

Hari ini juga udah ada beberapa nilai yang dibagiin. Yang paling jelek tuh English, aku dapet 76! Dan kayaknya itu termasuk yang tinggi di kelas. Payah banget.

Akhirnya Ujian Selesai Juga!

Akhirnya setelah sekian lama ujian (5 hari sih), aku bisa bebas dari ujian hahha...!

Hari ini pas udah selesai ujian, aku, Shabi, Dhea, Tania, dan Nana main ke rumah Keila. Tapi karena supir Keila baru dateng jam 1, kita main-main dulu di Gedung 1. Trus kita liat liat komputer yang kayaknya untuk ngabsen guru guru dateng dan pulang jam berapa. Trus pas kita liat, ada tulisan semacam ini :

Daryono

Anda datang sangat telat.

------

Yang ----- itu aku lupa apaan, pokoknya kocak deh hahaha. Trus ada guru dateng, trus kan ngescan jempol disitu trus setelahnya ada tulisan gini :

(Nama; aku lupa siapa)

Anda pulang lebih cepat daripada seharusnya.

Semoga urusan anda ------.

Hahahaaa aku ketawa tawa baca itu, lagian lucu sih. Trus habis itu kita main main perosotan anak anak disitu hehehe. Trus habis itu kita ngikutin Diva, Puput dan temannya nggak tau siapa main culik-culikan. Tapi akhirnya mereka harus pergi karena mau makan-makan di D'Cost sama guru-guru lain. Enak banget sih makan makan... Trus akhirnya kita keluar trus nunggu di depan. Trus kita liatin mobil satu persatu lewat. Pas Mr. Awit lewat tuh dadah dadah. Puput sama Diva juga, trus kita dadahin balik.

Trus habis itu kita ke rumah Keila, tapi sebelumnya mampir di Odiva dulu nyewa DVD Ju-On (The Grudge). Trus kita mampir dulu di rumah Dhea, mau minjem DVD. Trus kita ngerjain Dhea, kita lari ke rumah Keila ninggalin Dhea sendirian supaya pulang naik mobil sama Supir Keila. Hahahaha trus pas kita sampe kita ketawa-tawa dulu, trus kita kepikiran untuk nyambut Dhea di pintu. Tapi pas kita keluar, taunya Dhea udah masuk lewat belakang, hahahahahaaa.. maaf ya Dhe :D.

Trus habis itu makan, nonton, trus pulang deh! Oh iya, nilai Soc-Geo ku bagus! 98! Oh ya, aku punya target : kalo nilai ujian diatas 9 semua, bakal dibeliin komik Death Note!

History ternyata gampang, tinggal Biology

Hari ini ulangan berjalan cukup lancar. Dan History ternyata nggak susah!

Bahasa Indonesia : Guru pengawasnya Mr. Slamet dan Mrs. Tata. Ulangannya lumayan susah, kalo kataku sih. Tapi kayaknya aku pilihan gandanya lumayan banyak yang bener. Soalnya tadi pas udah selesai aku liat jawaban yang bener dan ternyata aku benernya lumayan banyak. Rating : 3.5 Stars

History : Guru pengawasnya UJ. Ulangannya seperti yang sudah kukatakan tadi : GAMPANG. Rating : 2 Stars

Sundanese : Guru pengawasnya Ms. Resti. GILA GAMPANG BANGET! Orang sebelumnya dikasih review yang isinya soal soal ulangan! Trus jawaban PGnya A SEMUA!!! Ada yang contek-contekan, keras-keras lagi! Tapi aku sempet lupa satu jawaban, nggak papa lah. Rating : 1 Stars

Oh iya, Bruno nggak jadi dikasih hari ini. Jadinya minggu depan hari senin. Artinya aku masih bisa ketemu Bruno!! Trus Tania ulang tahun hari ini. Aris tuh udah nanyain Tania, dari dulu banget, mau dikasih apa. Tapi taunya cuman dikasih Top rasa strawberry 2 biji!!! Aneh banget sih bikin kesel.

How was my day?

Hari ini aku pake shampo dan conditioner Sunsilk yang bouncy curls! Hweheheeheeee... Dan kayaknya hasilnya rambutku jadi makin kriting :D. Trus pas aku di sekolah, kan ada Mr. Awit tuh, karena rambutku kritingnya muter ke bawah gitu (kalo nggak ngerti nggak papa), kata Mr. Awit, rambutku dikeritingin tadi pagi. Apa apaan nih?! Oh ya, trus besok Bruno bakal jadi milik Mr. Awit. BRUNO BAKAL DIKASIH KE MR. AWIT! Aku cuman berharap supaya Bruno seneng, Aamiin. We'll Miss You Bruno!

Jadi ujian hari ini... :

Chemistry : Guru yang ngejagain itu Ms. Siang dan Ms. Vera. Trus Sarah tadi ketauan pake kuteks, trus katanya nanti Mrs. Anita mau ketemu. Kasian ckckck. Trus Ratingnya : 2 Stars. Gampang, beneran deh. Lagian soal-soalnya dari Review kok.

Soc-Geo : Guru yang ngejagain itu Mr. Faris dan Mr. Ndaru. Ratingnya : 2 Stars juga. Soalnya juga dari Review, jadi pantes aja gampang.

Religion : Guru yang ngejagain Mr. Slamet dan Mr. Budi. Sialnya ada soal yang nggak ditulis di kisi-kisinya, tapi untungnya akhirnya dijadiin bonus. Tapi aku kayaknya jawabannya bener deh, hehehe PeDe banget :)). Rating : 2 Stars.

Oke, enough for today see you tommorrow

What have I done lately?

Hello semuanya! I'm back now. Cepet aja ya, soalnya ini lagi minggu Final Test, jadi harus belajar.

TEST:
Math : Agak susah. Rating : 2 Stars (semakin gede semakin susah)
Economics : Lumayan gampang. Rating : 2 Stars
Physics : Nggak terlalu susah, karena kebanyakan soal dari latihan soal 2 Stars
English : Biasa aja, cuman soalnya banyak banget gile. Rating : 2 Stars

Menurutku, harusnya itu ujian pertama History dan Biology kalo nggak History sama apa gitu, kalo nggak Biology sama apa gitu. Lebih susah History sama Biology daripada Math! Biology dari term 1 lagiii...... Duuh Mrs Mery, jangan dari term 1 doong, dari term 3 aja udah cukup banyak materinya.

Jadi ya begitu lah. Maaf ya udah lama nggak posting. Oh ya, sekarang aku pake Speedy Unlimited. Trus disambungin ke D-Link, jadi serumah bisa internetan pake Wi-Fi!
