Human forgets easily, rite? That's why I make a special note to write down all the blessings God gave me. So, sometimes when I fall, I can read the note and remember God's kindness to me. That really helps me to rise again. One of them is this one:
It was July 01, 2008 - my big day, I had the final exam for my theses. When I was preparing for the exam, I found some mistakes in my theses. I was confused whether I want to confess or just let it be. There were some days before the D-day, but I didn't have the courage to tell my supervisors, I was too afraid that if they decided to ask me made some revisions and delayed the exam day. But I couldn't find peace if I just let it be. Finally, when the day come, before starting the presentation, I made a confession. At first, the examiners looked very surprised. After discussing for a moment, they let me present my theses. Then, they asked me some questions. I felt that I didn't go very well with the answers. But in the end, they told me that I passed and that meant I had graduated! Ohh, it was such a big relief...
When I walked out from the exam room and met some friends, one of them asked me how the exam was. I was so orientated in the mark, I knew I couldn't get what I want (the perfect score - A) so I told her that I hadn't answered very well and I had some troubles in there. But then she said to me, "That's not a problem. The important thing is that you have graduated!"
That time I realised that I was too focusing to my problems and forgetting the blessings. Not all of my friends can finish their study in time, and my supervisors told me that they could have delayed my exam because of the mistakes I haven't revised yet I still went on, but they didn't do it.
God has sent my friend to remind me to give thanks instead of grumbling and frustating. Because I have done my best, it was time to let God do the rest... Just believe... Then I got the mark of B+, I think it's good enough, remembering the mistakes I had done haha...

Stay the Same
"
Don't you ever wish you were someone else
You were meant to be the way you are exactly
Don't you ever say you don't like the way you are
When you learn to love yourself, you're better off by far
And I hope you always stay the same
Cause there's nothing bout you I want change
I think that you could be whatever you want to be
If you could realise all the dreams you have inside
Don't be afraid if you've got something to say
Just open up your heart and let it show you the way
Believe in yourself, reach down inside
The looked by would sets you free
Believe in yourself, you would come alive
And made the world to do you make it through
"
A beautiful song by Joey McIntyre...
It always gives me strength when I fell down. This song reminds me of who I am and thank God for who I am. Believe me, God has purpose for each of human. There's noone that lives by accident. Even God sometimes uses accident as a way that He want us exactly become the way we are. Find your purpose of life in God, and you'll know why you are here on Earth.

National Treasure 2
Well, well, well... This is the only movie I watched THREE TIMES in THREE DIFFERENT CINEMAS!
Firstly, I watched it with CG in E-Plaza Semarang... Of course we paid for ourselves...
Second, it was Broto's b'day, and after treated Bakul & I with 1 movie in CL Semarang, he still wanted to watch this movie. I said that it was OK if he wanted to pay for me, and he did! hahhhaa...
And the third.... After I went back to Surabaya, I had to watch this movie again because I had promised someone [ex-bf] to accompany him watching this movie... So, there we went... to GM...
Fortunately, I do like this kind of movie. Puzzled... Challenged... Thrilled...
I hope there will be many more movies like this!
watch it online? here

Danger!
Today I was looking for something and accidently I found "something" from my past. After I took a deep exploration (haha) I realize that this is a dangerous thing if someone finds out. So, I better get this disappear from this house hahaha...
It was a memory from my sweet past time... When I felt in love for the first time (at least, the most-close-to-love-feeling haha) and then my heart broke haha... That time I was such a stupid girl who didn't know how to show someone that I truly love him... Suddenly we became strangers and now we are walking in our own life journey... I don't expect him to come back but I wonder what if I never made that mistake haha... Because I have just known the reason why God didn't let me to be with him...
But forever I will thank him because he had taught me how to love somebody...

Bu Ren
I am Chinese Indonesian but I was raised in a western-style family, so I do not do Chinese tradition much, and do not speak Chinese Language as well (in fact, my family often talk in Dutch language). Even the simplest Chinese language I don't understand. And this is a story about my misunderstanding in Chinese Language.
One day when I was in my first days at the boarding house, DinCrew were gathering at Lion's room. That time, a Josh Groban's song "You Raise Me Up" was very booming and Lion played it. Then Lion said, "You know, this song is very popular so that Bu Ren likes to sing it, too." I asked her who Bu Ren is. But my friends there were laughing because I didn't know WHO Bu Ren is. Actually, this conversation was not really like this, but at least, this was I caught that time. Then, Meti insulted me with fully victory (she was the one who usually be insulted for being so "lola" >> long loading), "Neng, Neng... Even I know WHO Bu Ren is." Lion felt so pity for me so she told me," Bu Ren is MY servant, Neng...". Unfortunately, after I heard this explanation I told them my defense, "Well, I didn't know before that the name of Lion's servant is Bu Ren!" But the room suddenly was filled with laugh. And after a long stomach-aching-laugh, Dhumeng told me, "Neng, Bu Ren is a Mandarin term of servant.....".
Oohhh....
Maybe the real conversation was like this:
Lion : You know, this song is very popular so that MY bu ren likes to sing it, too.
Oneng : WHO is bu ren?
Meti : Neng, Neng... Even I know WHAT bu ren is.
Lion : Bu ren IS servant, Neng.
Oneng : I didn't know before that the name of Lion's servant is Bu Ren!
Yeah, maybe that's why they called me Oneng hehehe.......

HEBOH Group
The name Heboh Group was invented by an old senior (killer) lecturer who heads for the Laboratory of Food Analysis. The story began while I was doing my research for my final project. At that time, I need some people to help me because I had to do a lot of testings for my samples in one day. So, I asked DinCrew plus Andre (soon became Bakul's boyfriend) and Broto (not so important haha - just kidding; he often ruined my job, and left me and Bakul alone with 12 samples in the last day of my research!!). And when we were together in the Lab, we often got so noisy because we talked so much about any things, really... ANY!
One day when we were together, Dhumeng, Lincong and I were talking about AMK (Air Mata Kucing). Do you know what is it? I didn't! (ps. click here if you want to know) That was why we were talking about it. And after a long long explanation I haven't got the point what AMK was. This made Dhumeng and Lincong so "swt" so they explained again and again with louder and louder voice. Suddenly, the old lady who was sitting in her office stood up and looked at us from the window that connects her office and the Lab. Then she reprimended us. Since then, she looked very angry to me for bringing chaos to her Lab that may disturbed her concentration on the job (or the Solitaire or Zuma game haha...) She would turn her head if we met , pretending that she didn't see me hahaha... I think she was filled with resentment to me and my friends =p
Then one day, Bakul, Meti and Jojo needed her signature for getting a permission to use the Lab. When they asked her to sign, she asked them, "So, when you, all Heboh Group will finish the research?" But she did give her signature. And what is the impact of this incident fo us? We became popular!! hahaha.... negative, yes, but we just take the positive... LOL!

Gang Dinoyo
Dinoyo Crew is the name of my group, created when I was still in college (freshgraduate now hohoho). We are 7 girls from the same Faculty at the same year who live in the same boarding house but not in the same floor. Our boarding house is located at Dinoyo Alley and has 3 floors.
Meet Dinoyo crews:
Oneng - myself hehe... They call me so because I am so long-loading person, a bit of fool like Oneng in Bajaj Bajuri (ah, they were just boasting); the only one who stayed at the 1st floor
Bakul - the person who brought me to stay at this boarding house, her 'personality' is different from the rest; stays at the 2nd floor
Meti - Bakul's roomate; this name is a merging from the words "meme" (younger sister) and "titi" (younger brother), because she was very innocent like a little girl, but her power... uh oh, like a boy haha...
Lion - she was named so because someone told her that her hair is like lion's hair hahaha... (actually, not really the same); stays at the 3rd floor
Dhumeng - Lion's roomate; cannot be touched without because she is very ticklish
Lincong - natural beauty that always atrracts disguisting boys from other Faculty who like to take her photos secretly; stays at the 3rd floor
Jojo - last but not least because she is the most clever girl, the only one who graduate cum laude... ; Lincong's roomate
I am the only one who has left this boarding house... There were so many memories, both sweet and bitter, but all these memories stay in my heart... Miss you all, girls...
>> Dhumeng left in October 08, followed by Bakul, Jojo, Lincong, and Lion. Meti is the one that is faithful til the end, she is still staying there til now! hahaha...
