It's been awhile (again) since I've updated my blog...so I'm going dot-point mode:
- I'm still taking my ujian paket c (this ujian kesetaraan thingy so that I can have a national certificate of SMA completion aside from IB Diploma (Results in 11 days!!11!)) and tomorrow is MATEMATIKA....Pak Purba's wisdom be upon me.
- I've been thinking about the topic of love when fellow blogger fortywords mentioned it...to the point that I'm contemplating myself if I should continue to love her,or if it can be dangerous if I do so in the long term...I may be lucky I'm in love with my best friend , but it ma not be for the better of both of us...
- PSX games yet to be played: Rival Schools series, skullmonkeys, Abe's odyssey and exodus (DANG I haven't finished BOTH of them yet!)
- I wanna try photography with lomo camera~ AND I want (read:need) a new lens....but what mm, I wonder?
-I have not organized my bookshelves OR my digital files...yes, blame me and my laziness
-Tanggal 1 Juli gua pendaftaran ulang buat UI, I wonder when is orientation time....
After 1st of July I'll be in frictional unemployment mode.....what should I do till then?

A Dance Under the Starry Night Sky
Yesterday I only slept 30 minutes :P, but I wasn't that much sleepy, instead I was pretty much very active with my incessant hysterical laughter and fits of craziness....yet it was a night that I can never forget even though I might have Alzheimer's disease.
Yesterday, 4.00 PM.
I finally took a bath, making sure my hair did not touch the water after being vermaak'ed in the salon. My yellowish orange tie was ready, along with my medium gray suit and dark shirt and pants and shoes.
6.00 PM
Dammit, I was way too early. I thought by leaving at 5 I would avoid being late because of traffic, but I have proven myself once again that I'm a bit too punctual for parties at times. So I dropped my sleepover stuff at Ms Judy's room and walked slowly along the process just to waste time.
7.30 PM
Almost all of the class of '09 have arrived. Strangely, my song requests played early. oh well, it's fun hearing it anyway.
7.45 PM
The Thriller song came out a bit earlier than expected as well! After a very brief moment of panic, my group date gathered in the center and performed the dance anyway. While the others enjoyed watching us, especially because it was unexpected, I do think I was humiliating myself, me being in the front row and all.
9.15 PM
The Prom King and Queen were announced, Andrew T and Steph G! They were a surprisingly cute couple, due to their shyness and naiveness (I guess), very sweet nonetheless. They were even cuter when they danced.
Entah kapan PM
Beberapa orang ikut maju berdansa dengan Raja dan Ratu Prom. Radit dan Resham pun juga sudah mulai berdansa. Gua agak risuh dalam hati. Sekarang atau tidak sama sekali, gua pikir. Hati gua berdebar-debar. Akhirnya gua menghabiskan minuman air putih gua dan berdiri. Gua ulurkan tanganku, mengajaknya berdansa. Dia permisi dengan Alice dan Ed ML yang baru selesai berbincang kepadanya. Kami pun menuju lantai dansa dan mulai berdansa pelan-pelan dengan memegang bahu masing-masing. Dia mengomentari manisnya Dita dan pacarnya Narendra berdansa. Gua hanya tersenyum melihatnya. Gua melihat Radit dan Resham berdansa. Dalam sudut pandang gua sepertinya keduanya cukup menghayatinya (padahal sebenernya bukan begitu, Resham cuma takut bajunya keinjek). Gua nyoba gerakan memutar kepadanya. Gua salah posisinya dan cara megang tangan dia. Dia hampir mau jatuh tapi gua menahannya. Kami cuma tertawa. Seterusnya dia sekali-kali menengok disekitarnya melihat pasangan yang lain berdansa. Gua juga sama, tapi selain itu, gua hanya tersenyum melihatnya. Saat musik habis, dia mengajak beberapa teman lain, but dansa grup (yang kayak dansa dalam satu lingkaran gede itu loh), gua ambil kamera. Pada akhirnya, hanya ada satu perasaan yang gua rasakan saat berdansa dengannya.
Perasaan sayang.
1.00 AM
the sleepover (or wake over as some people call it) has begun and is ongoing. We toured some of lippo, practically humiliated ourselves on the way, and annoyed some strangers. We even went to the Cox's residence and took a pic of us "sleeping" in Mr. Brian's bed! I think my team was the first and only team to do that.
3.00 AM
After the bonfire, we did a prank on our juniors and would love to see the look on their faces on Monday. :P
4.30 AM
Some of us started to get wild and crazy due to exhaustion, hunger, and lack of sleep. I was both sleeping and awake during this time. Gua liat orang main Naruto di PS2 lah, main Wii lah, main kartu lah, ngobrol lah, iseng2an lah.
7.00 AM
In total I have only slept for 30 minutes. It was breakfast. there was bread, mie goreng, banana, cereal, and chocolate.
9.00 AM
I slept like a log.
This was the last time I can meet the class of '09 together. I hope we can do this some other time, aside from the upcoming Bali trip!
....dan aku masih akan sayang padamu :)

first days of torture + my personal project novel.
It's a Wednesday and I'm stressing out on studying math, so I decided to take a short break and tell you guys how I did on the first 3 exams:
english A2HL paper 1: PWND.
BI A1 SL paper 1: Interesting story, but a bit hard to analyze...SEPOTONG TANGAN UNTUK CINTA BEIBEH!
BI A1 SL paper 2: I got pwned. Padahal pertanyaannya gampang. Mungkin gara ga cukup niat hafalin novelnya sih...
BESOK MATH! mikirinnya aja gua udah berat nafas gua....it's now or November >.<
so to fill this post up I'm going to copypasta, upon request, my novel I did for PP...I have to say the overall story's crappy, but it's worth the nostalgia reading it... so here you go!
Titlenya "The Unspoken Truth"
~prologue~
Dreams are always a mystery that’s incomprehensible even today. It’s like entering to another kind of world, a magical realm, I suppose. Each day, each week, each month, they are always different to different kind of people. And it’s weird how some people study on how dreams work, and it’s also amazing how premonitions in dream really do come true. But some dreams hold important meanings. Some dreams hold messages. Some dreams….hold a destiny uninterrupted by fate, but by what we do.
It took place in a cloudy morning. It was a dream with sepia tones all over, even though I was just entering class.
Silence.
As I gazed over at the faces of my classmates, they showed no signs of expression, bland, dull faces, facing the whiteboard. I had wanted to ask, but no words came out. I panicked for a while, looking at my classmates again. This time I realized that they had no faces, so I couldn’t tell which one was which, even though I have been renowned for identifying students across the school.
Then, it appeared.
Seven out of thirty classmates suddenly exerted an aura of bleak darkness, as if it was tainted. And then, that darkness devoured them in different ways. One was literally smashed into pieces like a mirror, one dissipated into energy orbs; one even had been slashed into pieces, blood spilling out of their body like a fountain. It was a nihilistic sight.
The ground shook. All that I can see had evaporated into an endless space of grey.
I was floating in this emptiness, and I was falling down. It was getting dark at the bottom, and suddenly a person materialized directly in front of me. His appearance scared me to near death. My body rapidly stops operating, as if I had come to the end.
“NO!”
My head bumped the wall.
“Ouch….”
I was fully awake. I was still in my room. I was still alive.
”Ugh, one of those dreams again…” I mumbled as I let the light from outside invade every corner of my room. It was fairly shiny with little clouds in the air. The clock positioned itself to show that it’s 6 in the morning.
And I’m still wondering.
hmmm...gua bingung how to post chapter 1 because it worth more than 4000 words (LOL)...well, I fI do I'm just gonna do it in the next post, so see ya...*back to math*

last days of school....and the road to exam hell
Monday and Tuesday weere one of the last days I could ever study like normal and wear my highschool uniform as a normal teenager... when exams are underway I'd be quite far from a normal student; I'd be an insomniatic (is that a word?), extreme school nerd who enslaves his mind on the subjects he's going to take exams on and nothing else, with a cold poker face once he enters the exam room.....*shiver*
anywas, Monday was quite a unique highlight as us seniors as a grade played a 'farewell' prank to the juniors....jadi kami ngumpul di koridor lantai 3 yang ada komputer labnya....terus kami semua bikin baris di sisi2 koridor...dan siapapun adik kelas yang lewatin baris kita bakalan di sambut kayak superstar (tepuk tangan, di foto, dikerumunin, disorakin, etc.)...karena kasian kita cuma kerjain adik kelas cowok, tapi ada juga satu-dua adik kelas cewek yang dikerjain... terus lama mereka jadi takut lewatin koridor tersebut....masih ada sih yang berani, tapi tetep aja pada akhirnya jadi kapok, LOL. klimaksnya waktu mr chris yang lewat, sorak +tepuktangan + kerumuninnya paling hebat, sampe mr chris (sumpah mati) sampe bikin muka XD yg jarang bgt kliatan...pokonya seru deh, sayang gua ga bisa dapet best angle soalnya gua agak telat dateng...hahahaha
Tuesday, which was practically our last day, was fun. not great fun, but good fun. our last prank (?) is that boys'll be wearing colorful ties and girls colorful ties +fancy socks....which sounds normal to me but a few, if not some adik kelas are making these faces at us...hohohohoho. anyways, we had special luncheon, in which the teachers prayed for us and we attempted to sing our graduation song, which is from the musical "Wicked!", but right now I forgot the title of the song so I'll tell you if I remember. terus ada the last round of interhouse badminton tournament, which in the end merapi collectively WON! ALRIIIIIGHT. With the ending of the tourament also rings the last school bell I'll ever hear for a long time.....
and then rabu sampe minggu libur. well, not libur sih, I'm studying studyin studying. and I haven't even finished revising math. OH TIDAK T__T
oh, and to fortyword's request the next blog posts will feature my novel I did for my personal projec, The Unspoken Truth! It might sound crappy at first (well maybe it actually is), but do havea read! until then, totaloo!

1 Week "Holiday"
"Maaf, Anda belum dapat diterima di Universitas Indonesia."
That ws my wakeup call. From now on I NEED to do what Pak EDW always tell us, "Study Hard!" And that's what I'll be doing for the next 2 months!
Karena SIMAK udah ga ada harapan, jadi gua harus cari alternatif lain, yang penting bisa kuliah dan ga menganggur setaun. harapan gua: UI Inter, Uni Padjajaran, ama Dharma Persada. Kalo bisa, gua ikut SNMPTN biar bisa masuk S1 reguler dan iseng2 nyoba Sastra JEpang di UGM. Gua ga peduli orang bilang itu susah ato apalah, sekarang gua yakin, kalo ada kemauan ada jalan. Dan tekad gua udah bulat; gua harus ngatur diri sendiri, for my own good.
....Gaming tetap jalan, kok, tenang aja...;)
