A sense about my own life

My IChO's result : SILVER!!!!

2009-07-28T13:31:00.000-07:00

Hi everybody... long time no blogging.. that's not because I didn't want to blog, but I've been very busy studying for the olympiad.. hehe.. I'm sorry for it..
By the way, I'm writing this post in London.. I've just had my dinner in a restaurant called "Tai", and it's now 9.30 pm in London.. hehe
Well, I've been in UK for about 14 days, and tomorrow I'll go back to my country, Indonesia. the flight will be at 2 pm. hehe...
hmm... I'm so glad and relieved that I got a silver medal. (at least I bring back something home) hehe.. at first I was so desperate because I messed up in the practical exam.. but fortunately I did well in the theoretical exam, and I bet that saved me. hehe... FYI: Indonesia got 1 silver and 3 bronzes.. hehe..

umm... there's so many things that I want to share, but it's not possible to right now. so I'll just write when I am in Medan. hehe...
That's all I can say for now..
see you..
Cheers,
Ivana

Hi.. just to inform you that I'll go to Bandung tomorrow at 9.30 am (ermm it's for Pelatnas 2..) I think I'll not be able to post again till I come back a month later. hehe.. Thanks to all my friends who have supported me until this stage. I promise I'll do my best.. Meanwhile, wish me luck oo... hehe..

Cheers,
Ivana

Happy Sweet 17th and Valentine's day!!

2009-02-15T06:00:00.000-08:00

Hi2..
Well, first, Happy valentine's day for you all..
Yesterday was a great day for me..
I had my sweet 17th birthday party celebrated @Tea Garden at 7 pm...
hehe..
Well it was an extra busy day, after preparing everything for 2 weeks, finally it's the celebration. I got up early in the morning, went to IT&B for debate competition, in which my team was facing 2-science-4 and 3-science-1. I wondered if it was an unlucky morning becoz we're "telak" defeated by both of the teams.. huhu..
Well, we surrendered after being speechless at the second prelim and I went straightly to fetch my birthday cake @clover. Then I went home, get prepared, then drove to my cousin's house to do some make-ups. This is the result:

hmm.. Meanwhile, I had my friend, Josephine, fetched at Merdeka walk. She and Jefri will be my MC.. Together, we went to tea garden to make some preparation, including practicing as MC, decorating the room, waiting for the balloons to be pumped and so on.. and it's time! One by one, my friends came, well I knew right away that they're going to make a surprise for me. They are hiding something from me, every guest that came was given 3 or 4 cards to be written on. Although I don't know what's that for, I realized that it's done for me. haha..

The party started at 7.30 pm. I had my parents there as my first cake receiver. haha..

This is my cake..

My mom, me, my dad.. (me making birthday wish)..

Well the party was a success, we had lots of fun there. There are games, in which I had to choose couples and let them pranked. First they are asked to tie both of their hands themselves with 2 ropes. At the second round of elimination, they have to drink 2 bottles of Aqua botol together, the first 10 couple to finish drinking could go to the next round. Then, the third round was to dance! Well after the dance the audience will have to clap for the couples, the most welcoming claps will be the winner. hehe..

Hmm.. finally came to the photo session. Wanna see? Here they are..

finally, the surprise came out!! it's a tree full of my friend's wishes for me!!
take a look!

Well, that's all I can post now.. hehe.. to sum up, that day was extraordinary for me.. hehe..

Cheers,
Ivana

Happy chinese new year!!

2009-02-01T07:11:00.001-08:00

Eiitt.. Gong xi.. Gong xi..
Wish you all better lives, healthy, wealth, better careers, and so on..
hmm.. I spent my chinese new year as usual, going back to my hometown, Siantar, on che it, and return to Medan on che si.. haha..
This year's CNY was more exciting than usual, most of my cousins who are studying or working abroad were coming back too.. We played Cap Sa on che it and Poker on che ji and che sa. You know what, I won many many times!! hahaha.. it really had sharpened my instinct in playing cards.. hoho..
Well, I also visited jaslyn's house on Friday and went to Tjok Tjin Laose's house with Prajna and Gilbert. There I met my school's legendaries!! haha.. I happened to come at the same time with them, David and Yenny, who participated in 2002's IChO in India. David was the first silver medalist for Indonesia. We were very lucky to have met him.. hehe..
Finally, tomorrow school is starting again.. wew, feels like holiday is not enough.. I want more days off!!!!
well, it's all for now, I'll write again later..

cheers,

Ivana

Sob.. sob..

2009-01-14T04:52:00.000-08:00

Huhu.. Yesterday I received my report card. Well, I got the first rank, but you know what, every teacher that came into my class today complaint about my "amazing" biology score. Maybe(or surely) this is the first time that a "paralel 1" person got red mark in her semester report card. Phew.. I wondered how those teachers came to know about this, but it's surely not a pleasant thing.. Today I also escaped from my bio class for the sake of getting ready for speech technical meeting, although I used up all the time to help other committees to prepare for their technical meeting. haha..

Cheers,

Ivana

When seniors are busying around getting well prepared for the UEE, which is drawing closer, these questions suddenly came across my mind: “What will it be like when this very moment of life comes to me?”, “Will I be able to do what I should?”, or “Should I prepare for it from now on?” I can’t deny there’re few faint ideas that I am not qualified enough for my grade, that what I have worked for so far is eventually to no avail, and that if I had spent my time more wisely, I wouldn’t have been engaged in so much activities. At the mean time, I have to be so thoughtful of making any decisions that may change my future. I set a very high target from the start, yet made no effort to fulfill it. So I think now it’s time to bend my mind to my study. If last year I was just relaxing around and having lots of fun, this year I’ll TRY to concentrate and discipline myself. I have no guarantee that I can do it, but at least I want to give it a try...

By the way, P2S1(Pekan prestasi Sutomo 1) is going to start this Friday.. I was registered for some competitions: Quick witty competition, debate, newsreading couple, and terompah putri, and I'll be the person in charge for speech competition, but I haven't found a person to be my vice.. Any suggestion?? hehe.. Judging from the number, I'll be quite busy for the whole month.. OMG... Wish me good luck oo...

Oh!! I almost forget.. My class' new name is PCC(Power of Creative Class).. Actually I wasn't quite agree with this name, since I proposed a name myself.. It is "Triple T" which stands for both "Tan Tjin Tjin"(our form teacher) and "Two-thumbs talented".. How do you think?? hehe..

hmm.. I think it's enough for now, I'll post again later..
Bye..

Cheers,

Ivana

Hmm??

2009-01-03T04:43:00.000-08:00

Okay2 I post..
It's been a long break since the last time I blog..
Although I still have no temptation to blog, I think it's better to write something than none (since lots of my friends have been asking me to update)
Well, first I would like to say "Happy New Year" to all of my friends.. Hope all of you be better and better for the next year.... Also my sincere apologize to all of you if I did wrong.. Thanks to all of you who have given your supports to me through this whole year.. Without your support, I would hardly be able to pass every difficult moment.. Thanks!!
Anyway, my resolution for this new year is: Be more self-confident and hardworking for the upcoming tests
What was I doing through the holiday?
Well, the holiday was wonderful and dull. The first few days of my holiday were rather "inhuman", I slept at mornings and had bbq parties at nights. I was getting Panda's eyes for the lack of sleep. huhu.. Then I spent 3 days of my holiday at brastagi(including the new year celebration).. It's pretty boring since I have no friend to talk to. Thanks to Jaslyn who borrowed me twilight, I read the whole novel there. hahaha..
It's just no more than 48 hours will I go back to school again.. I want MORE days off... huhuhu...
Actually I want to share about the one-month training at UI, but I have 3 essays due tomorrow..
I think I'll just continue blogging next time, so bye..

Cheers,

Ivana

Lost

2008-10-14T06:09:00.000-07:00

Flashing back, many years have passed without my realizing that I've matured a lot-from an innocent little girl to a sophisticated teenager-though I am still a child as ever. If I think of the past, I wonder how much courage it had taken for me to live another day in the suddenly-different world where things were not the same for me anymore. However, without those days, there won't be the Ivana today. The facts that forced me to step out of my comfort zones-without even leaving me any choice to choose-have ironically craved a deep irritating mark in my brain. There were times-when an irrational fear inside me wiped out my self-esteem and confidence. Somehow I've always missed the cheerfulness, care, naivity, childishness, friendliness and other qualities that I was allowed to have long long time ago before hesitation came over me. Without my conscience, I had been dragged away from my surroundings, leaving me in a complete-strange world of loneliness, despair, and grief. Not until a while did I trace those sincere smiles and laughs back-with the hands of closest ones. And here I am, removing the stumbling blocks from the pathway I have already craved for my future, as I believe that someday the star will shine on me once again.

Phenomenal!

2008-09-22T01:53:00.000-07:00

Well, it's been a long time since I updated my blog last month.. haha..
To keep my promise to my friends, I'll upload some funny photos they requested.
umm.. lets start from last week's event.

Tuesday, 16th September
err.. let's make it short. Today there's a big photo of mine displayed in a full page of "Tabloid Xpresi". Haha.. The writing is a bit exaggerating, especially the one at the top of the page which says "Rambut panjang dengan poni yang hampir menutupi semua keningnya membuat gadis ini tampak ******. Mata yang sipit dan senyum yang selalu tersungging manis di bibirnya semakin membuat cewek kelahiran 27 Februari 1992 ini terlihat bersemangat. Tapi itu baru penampilan luarnya. Yang lebih membanggakan, Ivana Polim, demikian ia dikenal, juga mencetak prestasi akademik yang mendekati sempurna." (I censored one little part of this paragraph.. haha) Whoa!! This quotation really embarrassed me! The moment when my classmates finished reading the article, all of them teased me. haha.. I wondered why the writer wrote such a thing. See, it's written as seemed that I will certainly be the candidate of International Chemistry Olympiad! Wew..

Saturday, 20th September
In recent times, the 70s type of glasses appear to be in trend again. Many of my classmates wear them in class. Today, when I had English tuition together with Jaslyn, Sandoko, Budianda, Rudy, Kevin, Jodhi, and Iriani, we went crazy. Putting on the glasses, tie up the upper button of our school uniform, and hanging the water bottle around our neck, we posed very "culun" faces.

Sandoko's culun face

Budianda's culun face

Rudy's culun face

and finally you know who this is^^

Sunday, 21st September
It's Paulina's birthday!! ELDS members are going to make a surprise at her birthday party@ Tonks. However, it rained heavily around 6 o'clock. So Jaslyn decided to pick me up. We waited for such a long time until AC came. Then the surprise started! 17 people who hold the candles made two rows while AC who is holding the cake stood at the back of the rows. Then we signaled Pau's boyfriend, VR, to ask her to come in. Then the light went off and the sound of the piano started to accompany the romantic atmosphere. It was Jaslyn who played "River Flows in You". What a romantic song.. haha.. The plan was that Pau was going to blow off the candles one by one until she reached the cake and blew off the candles on the cake. Everything went well, the next plan was to urge her to open our present! We gave her several chances to guess what's the present. Each time she guessed, we cried "Maybe yes, maybe no". Haha.. it was a lot of fun.
After the surprise plan worked out, we just realized that we are only the one who hadn't order any food yet. haha.. Then Jaslyn and I decided to order the same steak: grilled chicken steak. haha.. wanna see it?

hehe.. that's the steak I ordered..

haha.. Jaslyn and I fed each other..

toast..

Here's also some photos that I took together with ELDS friends:

Paulina and me beside a grand piano..

From left: Jaslyn, me, Paulina, Fenny, and ???

me posing at the piano^^

AC and me..

Jas playing the piano..

Paulina and me at the very last moment before I went home..

Monday, 22nd September
Today, a phenomenal so-called sun dot (I don't know if it's the right term) occured in Medan. That is sooo amazing.. Let me describe it : The shape is somewhat round with one very bright center on it, the outer part of the center is totally black, and it's surrounded by a colorful circle which resembles a rainbow. I took some pictures of it:
you know, it's really really hot there. it's like sun bathing. haha..
I've also captured a video.. let's see:

Well that's all for now.. thanks for reading..

cheers,

Ivana

Unforgettable Moment!

2008-08-19T09:42:00.000-07:00

Wondering why it took so long for my new post? Hehe..
Well, I’ve been very busy preparing for the National Science Olympiad which was held on 8th -14th August 2008 in Makassar. My hard work finally comes into fruition! I received a gold medal in chemistry! Wow, I could hardly believe this.
Well, I’ll just summarize what I’ve gone through there.

First day, 8th August 2008
We departed from Medan at about 12 am, without the company of my teacher, coz he was in a different airplane. As soon as we arrived in Soekarno-Hatta, Sandoko suggested to have our meal outside the airport. But then we split into two groups, one went to eat padang cuisine, and the other just went to eat somewhere(I dunno where). After I finished eating, I took some photo of sunset there, it’s so beautiful. Take a look at it!

Then we went back into the waiting room of Lion air and played cards. There were Michael, Harta, Sandy, Aaron, Stephen, Iriani, and me. I also taught them how to play Yakuza game. Haha.. Waiting for several hours, we finally departed at 10 pm WIB.

Second day, 9th August 2008
We arrived at hassanuddin airport of Makassar at 1 am WITA. At my surprise, the airport was gorgeous. It’s more beautiful than either Jakarta’s or Surabaya’s airport. We waited some time for our luggage, then proceeded to our successive hotels. I arrived at chemistry hotel, Losari Metro Hotel, at about 3.30 am. I did some registration and ask the roomboy to help me carry my luggage to my room, room 510. My roommate was from Sulawesi Tengah, named Nurul. I had a short nap for 1 hour, then had my breakfast at the restaurant downstairs. We went ahead for opening ceremony in an open area (I forgot the name). I waited outside together with Sandoko, Iriani, Kevin, and Stephen for about 1.5 hours before we were allowed to get in. I also took some photos with my IJSO friend, Aga, while waiting. Here is it:
The opening ceremony was quite boring and wasn’t like there’s an Olympiad held there. I was quite disappointed with the committee. It's extremely far from what I'd imagined. Well, we even fell asleep during the waiting session. Phew, this is a photo of my row:
Hmm.. after having my dinner, we had our technical meeting at 2nd floor. There were Mr.Riwandi and Mr.Riswiyanto explaining everything that we might face on the next day. I was feeling quite down at that time, thanks God my teacher came to see us. He gave me a little support and that made me feel a lot better! Hehe..

Third day, 10th August 2008
Exam day came! I walked out of my room with fast heartbeats, praying to do well in the theoretical test. As soon as we arrived in SMA Rajawali, in which chemistry exam took place, I hurried to look for my classroom, which was room A. I sat behind a genius, perfect, charming girl, Shirley Cynthia. She is a gold medalist and best theoretical winner. The test lasted about 4 hours. Well, my teacher visited me again at the site right after I came out from the classroom. Before having lunch, I was given my lab suit! Wow, it’s very nice! Let me show you the lab suit:
Again, we had a technical meeting for the next practical exam. This time, Mr. Riswiyanto himself explained the practical safety rules since some of the material that we were going to use are dangerous if wrongly used or come into contact with skin.

Fourth day, 11th August 2008
Practical exam day! Soon after reaching SMA Rajawali, we girls participant took photos in our lab suit together. That’s it:
Then we were guided to our consecutive labs. I was, again, sat beside Shirley, but this time we were doing different tasks. The participants were divided into 2 groups. Each group had to perform all of task A and B. I was given task A first, then after 3 full hours I had to switch with the other participant to perform task B. Task A had to be finished in 3 hours, while task B had to be finished in 2.5 hours. Phew, it was dead difficult. Task A was qualitative analysis, in which we have to deduce what cations and anions present in 8 samples. Task B was TLC organic analysis, in which we have to do thin layer chromatography, deduce what compounds present in an analgesic, and answer 10 organic questions. I did a very fatal careless mistake here. While doing task A, I answered in the question sheets, not until the last minute did I realized that I hadn’t copy the answers into the answer sheets. As a result, I didn’t finish the answering. Huhu.. lost many scores here.. After these stress periods, Iriani and me went to Losari beach to meet other friends who had waited long for us. Then we rent a “bebek” to sail around the beach.

We also went to eat “bakso Makassar”, visited physics hotel, and went to Panakkukang Mall by taxi.

Fifth day, 12th August 2008
Today we had our “Wisata edukasi” in Fort Rotterdam and Bantimurung waterfall. We had a lot of fun there. I bought some souvenir for my friends here. We went back to our hotel in the afternoon and prepared for the “Jamuan makan” by the governor at Fort Rotterdam. Here I met my ex-biology ITB teacher, Pak Ridwan and Pak Agus Dana Permana. Aga and me took a picture with them:

From left: Pak ridwan, Aga, me, Pak Agus

At the peak performance, I went to the stage to take some photos with my friends. Take a look at this:

From left: Harta, Sandy, me, Jeffri, Aaron

Sixth day, 13th August 2008
And this is the moment!! Today is the day of closing ceremony! I believe everyone had waited long for this day. There will be joy for the medalist and cry for the loser. But anyway, at this stage, I believe there’s no such thing like loser. Everyone is the winner. It’s just a matter of luck. With hope and curiosity, I waited for the announcement. And that’s it, my name was called!! I was honored with a gold medal! Wow, I’ve never imagined how it is like to be a gold medalist, and here I come. This is an unforgettable moment of my life. Hehe.. I directly called my parents and friends to tell them this good news. Below are the names of North Sumatra’s senior high medalist:
-Billy fernaldi : gold (Astronomy)
-Richat Purba : gold (Mathematics)
-Ivana Polim : gold (Chemistry)
-Harta Wijaya : gold (Computer)
-Sandoko Kosen : silver (Physics)
-Erwin Handoko Tanin : bronze (Physics)
-Aaron Maslim : bronze (Computer)

My chemistry teacher and me

Shirley Cynthia(the best theory) and me

From left: Harta, Billy, me, Sandoko, Richat

From left: Billy, Stephen, my teacher, Sandoko, Kevin, me, Iriani

My classmates: Sandy, Michael, Jeffri, me, Aaron

This is my name tag..

This is my lucky number 013.. hehe..

My medal...

Seventh day, 14th August 2008
Today, we checked out from our hotels and moved to LPMP. We stayed for one night there. At night, we played cards together until everyone fell asleep, except Erwin. He's studying his module..(what a dilligent man)..

Eight day, 15th August 2008
I woke up early in the morning, got ready, packing things up, and had my breakfast at the “lobby” together with the others. We headed to the airport and had our tiring flight. As soon as we arrived in Medan, we were greeted by some reporter asking to take some photos of the medalist. Then I went home and had a long long deep sleep. Haha..

Yep that’s all of my journey. Sounds boring, isn’t it? But I am really satisfied with my achievement this time. See u at my next posts.. bye..

Cheers,
Ivana

School starts!

2008-07-12T02:43:00.000-07:00

Long time no blogging, huh?!

well, finally I have spare time enough to make a post in this boring blog.. haha..
hmm.. yesterday was my first day as a second-year student.. I've spent a very much busy holiday and was a bit unwilling and "lazy" to start the extra-busy school again.
my first day was quite fun and enjoyable, meeting some seniors who'll have left by July 17th to NUS and NTU.. phew..
well, OSN is drawing closer and closer, it's 3 weeks left!
Due to the tight schedule, I don't think I'll be able to blog for these few weeks until I come back from the competition..
finally, wish me luck for the test ok? I hope I'll bring home the best result.. I hope at least a bronze so that I'll have a chance to go international once more. haha.. (is it reachable?)
see you at my next posts..

Cheers,
Ivana

Unpredictable good news!

2008-06-23T01:14:00.000-07:00

Whoa... I pass the province level chemistry test!!!!!!!!!!!
This is so unpredictable since last time I got some news telling that I might not pass the test since they only chose 4 students to represent North Sumatra and 1 of them doesn't belong to my school so the possibility of passing the test is even smaller!!
wow... I'm going to Makassar!! I'm speechless right now..
so this is the sms I received from my teacher:
"Ada 4 siswa Sumut ke makassar: Ivana 78, Iriani 70, Stephen 68, Jefri(Methodist) 65.."
I still can't believe this, judging from the fact that I made so many fatal mistakes on that fatal day. haha...
umm.. looking from the points I received, it's still not good enough as last year's first rank of Sumut got 89(If I'm not mistaken).
in the end, it's time to start studying!! the time left is about 6 weeks which means I've got so-short time to rehearse and study..
Wish me luck yah...

P.S. For all of you who want to know the full result, go to this link

My trip to GreenHill

2008-06-20T08:06:00.000-07:00

hi..
I'm just back home from GreenHill, Brastagi.
This morning, 8 of my friends and I went to GreenHill for refreshing.
We gathered at Elline's house at about 8 am and fetched Josephine and Ivan at about 8.30 am.
Then we started our journey which took about 1 hour.
hmm.. We had a lot of fun there, let's take a look on some of our pictures!

Me @ GreenHill city

Altogether in front of the main entrance

Me in front of Hillpark mansion

umm.. this is the map of hillpark

Me and elline holding the mapstone

altogether except elline being the photographer

along the way to "lost city"

the entrance of lost city

Elline, me and Josephine inside the cave of lost city

Josephine and me

The journey was quite fun but tiring though. We spent most of the day by taking photos.Despite the raining at 12 am, the sunshine was deeply irritating since I got sunburn on my face, hands and feet. wuahh.. my face is now dark red lowh.. hehe..
umm.. Actually I still have many many things to share but I'm really really exhausted right now. maybe I'll continue this post next time.. So see u at my next posts..
bye.. have a nive holiday...

First day of PSB!

2008-06-12T06:35:00.000-07:00

Hi guys..
Today is the first day of PSB (Penerimaan siswa baru) at my school, Sutomo 1 High School.
I became one of the commitees whose job is to explain and inform the guests (parents and applicants) about my school's grade and examination system.
My team's head of contingent is Elline, my classmate and also our school's lovely general-chief-of-student-council-will-be, and I was located at post 2 in room 2. what a good combination! hahaha..
Wanna see pictures of how the room looked like?


--> hmm.. This is our room, room 2.. You could see some groups of tables, each of the tables is the post... each room consists of 4 posts with different jobs.. (talking honestly) I think post 2 is the most troublesome post since we had to explain so many difficult things.. whoa..


                       --> nah, come to my post.. post 2..


-->hehe.. Me and Yulinda (my teammate). We're at the same post..
   The cards we're holding are our OSIS commitees membership..

I think we all had done a good job today, since every guest understood clearly and left with a smile of safisfy. haha..
Tomorrow will be the second day, I hope we'll be able to keep up the good teamwork..

umm.. that's all for now.. see u at my next posts..

Pranked!!

2008-06-04T10:02:00.000-07:00

I was just pranked by two mischievous guys! Oh God, they're really really creative.
Of course you know that I was in a bad mood today becoz of yesterday's event. But I admitted that the action had cheered me up a little bit. So thanks anyway.
hmm.. let's talk about my activity today. I woke up very late this morning due to the late sleep yesterday. At 12 am I went to Sun Plaza to meet my Singaporean friends : Ivan and CP.. My classmate, Indriani, and ex-classmate, JTS, were also with us. We chatted for quite a long time at food court before Ivan and I decided to watch "Lost in Love". The film was quite funny, at least it could make me relaxed for a short period of time. Huh.. Then I went home, had my dinner, watched tv as usual, and getting mad of the prank. hahaha..

Ok then, see u at my next posts..

I'm depressed!!

2008-06-03T00:37:00.000-07:00

Oh my God!!
I've just came home from BBLKI(Balai Besar Latihan Kerja Industri) to participate the province selection of OSN.. phew..
I feel so depressed right now, coz I made A LOT OF CARELESS MISTAKES that I shouldn't have done!!!
Judging from the result, I don't think I could pass the selection.. My schoolmates did very well in the exam, but seems that I was only the one who made so many careless mistakes (actually it's not difficult at all). I don't know why I couldn't concentrate but I am really going mad right now.
Hiks..hiks..hiks..hiks..hiks..hiks..hiks..
After all I am going to have long holiday starting from today until 14th July..
Hope I could enjoy it after such a "disaster"..

See u at my next posts..

Nervous

2008-05-31T08:23:00.000-07:00

I'm really really nervous, nervous, and nervous right now...
2 days left... but I dunno what to do..
huhuhuhuhuhuhuhuu......

SMO!! so difficult!

2008-05-27T08:32:00.000-07:00

This morning I took SMO (Singapore Mathematical Olympiad) exam at my school. It started at 8.15 am (actually it had to be 7.30 am but the teacher came very late) huh... The questions consist of 10 pilgan and 25 essay. The moment when I glanced at the paper, I already said "huh, ane kang kho e" (it means it's very difficult).. (and Hebert laughed at me.. he's so mischievous) wkwk.. Actually the test was to be 2.5 hours, but because of the late, it became 1.5 hours. Just imagine, how could we finished 35 very difficult questions in just 1.5 hours? wadow.. It's so frustating, I sat there in the class and wondering what I should do to the answer sheet coz I only managed to get about 15 answers out of 35 and then "tembak" 10 questions. hahaha..
The test ended at 10 am when Bu Berta came in to tell Bu Lili that the time's up. We had to hand in the question and answer sheet.

What to do next? proceeded to the chemistry lab until 3 pm, and went home as usual..
quite boring, huh?!

Thursday, 22 May 2008
hey, I just came home from school, it's a very tiring day for me..
Well, as you see, today is the first day of training for the province-level chemistry test. It started from 8 o'clock in the morning and ended at 4 pm (nonstop). haha..
sounds tiring, doesn't it?
Huh, I'm now writing with my sister sitting beside me talking with her boyfriend.
it's quite funny hehe...
She's now going mad looking at my writing. hahahaha..
umm.. well, the chemistry test is going closer and closer huh..
it's better to start studying seriously.. hehe..
I think that's all for now. See u at my next posts..

Thomas cup: China won!!! So hepiii..

2008-05-19T07:30:00.000-07:00

Sunday, 18th May 08.
I woke up early in the morning, awared that there would be the final of Thomas cup in the evening.
I bet on China to win that game. As many of my friends know, I am a "maniac" of badminton and a great fan of Lin Dan... hehe..
I got ready at 12.00 am to hang out with my friends at Sun Plaza. We watched "Narnia and The Prince Caspian". Budianda was the one who queued to buy the tickets. There were Budianda, Sandoko, Hadi, Praj, Esther and me..
The film was so cool and amazing!! Peter is still very handsome and heroic.. Edmund is getting more handsome than ever, he is not like a rebel anymore.. hehe and Susan is falling in love with the prince^^..
umm.. After getting out from the cinema, we decided to eat something at Fountain and I finished
up my meal as soon as possible and hurried back home for Thomas cup.... I didn't want to miss good things from Lin dan.. hehe..
The first game was quite dissapointing to me. Dunno what happened to him, he was just not playing well. But thanks God, his girlfriend came out at the second round to give him support and it did! Lin Dan played better and better and made it to the rubber set. I was very very happy when he won!! hehe

Wadow, I think it's enough for now, since my sister wants to borrow my laptop.. Later when I have time I'll write more.. Bye..

The Night of Starlight

2008-05-12T08:34:00.000-07:00

Sunday, 11th May, went to sleep at wee hour in the morning and woke up at about 10.30 am, I realized that I had an invitation to a celebration at Praj’s house. I got ready at 11.30 am and went ahead to his house. After usual speech and lunch, at about 3 pm we played yakuza..(the second round of yakuza Esther and I became the real yakuza) haha…
After this round I went home to prepare for the prom night at Selecta.
As you can see, the title of this post is the theme of prom night which was held yesterday.
At 4.30 pm, I arrived at 5th floor Selecta and was greeted by Elline and Yuriko, who were working together with me at the backstage during the farewell party. At the time I arrived, there had been all of the committees who were busy with their own jobs. Meanwhile, Elline, Yuriko and I went to the backstage to listen to what the MC wanted us to do. After that, although things were going all right, we seemed to be the busiest committee there.
Well, what should a backstage man do? We should stick to the sequence of the performances and ensure that the performers were all ready at the backstage about 2 performances before them. If they’re not at the backstage yet, our job was to search for them “anywhere”. It seemed not too difficult to do so, but it actually did because the place was soooo big to find them.
What made me pleased was that JUDE (a rising star) was performing and I met him at the backstage!! I took some photos with him and had a nice conversation after his performing two songs. Wow I could hardly believe this! He is tall, handsome, kind, friendly, and such a “thien cai”!! Haha.. So happy..
Hmm.. Later I also took photos with some third-year students: Harris, Loren, Praj, Esther, Caterine and Andrew, and with the other committees: Elline, William, Jilly, Christy, Alfian, Jesisca, and the MC. (I upload some of the photos here).

Jilly and me at backstage

Loren and me at the hall

Praj and me @backstage

Caterine and me outside after the party

The party ended at about 10.40 pm. But I was still there until 11.30 pm when my father fetched me. Back at home, I was extremely tired and went quickly into my deep deep sleep…

The day was an extraordinary day for me. I hope that when the same moment comes to me, the celebration will be greater than this one.. hihihi…

Mission complete..

2008-05-10T07:33:00.000-07:00

Umm.. Yesterday and today were Sendok's and Praj's birthdays..
About 4 days ago, some of my friends and I decided to make a surprise for Praj. But how??
Lets see how we did it!
hmm first I gathered 16 friends who wanted to join the plan and had a discussion. At that time, I discovered that he likes strawberries..
so we decided to buy a strawberry cake but still dunno
what to buy for the present.
Then for sendok, we all agreed to buy him a frog doll since Jaslyn thought that Sandoko=kodok. hahaha...
The next day, when I was online in msn, I asked him what colour does he like..
he spontaneously told me what it is. the plan changed.. At friday(sendok's birthday), after school Jaslyn, Loren and I went to Sun plaza together to buy all the presents..
could you think of what stuffs that we bought??
haha.. all the things for praj are yellow-coloured, since he likes yellow. And we finally managed
to find a frog doll which resembles sandoko's face.. hahahaha
Then the "hari H" came..
This morning, I had chemistry class until 12.30 am.. and praj also had "demo project" for computer.. before 12.00 am, we were so confused where to find match becoz harris forgot to bring one.
Fortunately, they came about an idea of borrowing from the chemistry lab.
At first I didn't agree, but they acted faster than me. they waited for my chemistry teacher and persuaded him to borrow us the match, and it worked. After I had finished my class, I rushed to the canteen to check if everything was ok to call jaslyn to bring Praj down to the canteen.
And there we sat down pretending to wait and was about to play yakuza. do you wonder what was the trick? It was, to write down "citizen" in all papers to ensure that Praj kept closing his eyes..
and then... when the moderator said "Everybody close ur eyes and yakuzas open ur eyes" the rest of us opened our eyes and thus only Praj closed his eyes. Then I ran to the second floor to take the birthday cake with candles down to the canteen.. when moderator(sandoko)
said "the next day, we find the corpse of Praj", together we sang the happy birthday song.. haha.. and the next thing to do was poking the cream taken from the cake with our fingers and landed them on his face! hmm...
unfortunately, the present for him was not wrapped yet, so we'll hand it 2morrow..
hehe

Tommorow I will attend prom nite at selecta to "work" at backstage.. wish me luck for my first job yah... ckckck..
I think that's all for now,.. see u at my next post..

Iron Man : Fantastic!!

2008-05-06T07:08:00.000-07:00

This afternoon, I went to sun plaza to watch iron man, together with Praj, Sandoko, Hadi, and Eddy. I got new friend today, Eddy, who is Praj’s friend studying in NUS. At first I thought that Harris was joining us to watch the movie, but as we walked into the cinema, I found that he was going home instead (He doesn’t like to watch movie). Meanwhile, There’re several funny story here as we watched the movie :
1. Before we got into the theatre, a man stopped us. Why? We had bought popcorns, drinks, and bread outside the cinema to be eaten inside. And luckily, we had slipped some bread, popcorn and aqua into Sandoko’s bag. So at least, we could eat indeed. Hehe..
2. After the movie had run for about half an hour, it suddenly stopped. I didn’t know why, but at the screen appeared sth like this “We are sorry for the inconvinience”. Of course we didn’t realize the error of the sentence in such situation. But Sandoko did. He laughed, amused, and pointed at the screen and said “inconviiiiinience”.
This movie is about a jenius man who owned a weapon company. He was making a presentation about a new highly-destructive weapon which his company made, and after that the afghanistans kidnapped him. He was forced to make the same weapon for them so that they could use it to destroy America. But instead of making the weapon, he made a costume which later helped him to escape there. The story didn’t end here, of course. After he came back to America, he announced that he wouldn’t make weapon anymore.. What happened next? Just see the movie yourself.. hahaha
After all, the movie was fantastic.. For you guys who haven’t watched it, better go and watch..

2008-05-04T09:07:00.000-07:00

Umm.. 4 days ago I received a message from someone I know informing me that I have got the 1st place in OSK chemistry! I was really surprised hearing this news, coz all I know is that I didn't do very well at the test and there're several
other students that are definitely more capable than me in my school..
