A Little Too Something

Hi blogger. Have you ever heard the words above? Maybe in a song, or in a poem, or in a movie? Or you haven't hear them at all? It's okay because I made that words up. I don't know if anyone have ever published it before. I really loved those words. It reaally reflects the whole aspect of my life. My friends, my school, my teachers, my olympic life and so on and so forth.

Maybe it can reflect your whole life as well.

Wanna try it?

First of all, think about one specific category of your life. Let's say........your school. And then, think about your school and put as many adjectives you think fit to replace 'something' in those words. Let's see.......what fits?

Aloha Means Hello and Goodbye

What's with the sad title? Oh nooo, it was not sad. It's inspiring. Because we all know that every hello followed with a goodbye. The problem is not everyone know when to say goodbye, or how many time they have left until they have to say a goodbye. A goodbye can be planned or it can arrive like a wind and they'll be gone before you know it.

Oops, I forgot to greet the bloggers. Hi everyone. It's been a long time since I posted for the last time. I swear I tried to post as often as I can but consider this condition: I'm on a boarding school with super hectic schedule and many competition to participate and I have to win all of them in order to get a scholarship and my modem is not available and my school network is sooo moody, looking at that situation, I am grateful if I can write one post per month. Okay but I will not talk about that. At least not at the moment.

Guess where am I now bloggers? New Yooorrrk! Malaaang! City of Flowers and City of Apples! What am I doing here? I am participating a competition. A biology competition held by Universitas Negeri Malang (Malang State University). The competition is called Lebah Madu and the theme of this competition is "Where Great Minds Compete To Become A Real Biologist"

It was fun and amusing. We didn't get into the final because our experiment score are very low, but thank God we manage to become the best performer in case study. We scored 91,5 out of 100!! Isn't that fun-fu**ing-tastic? I feel bad to my friend that I didn't manage to get into the final. But I personally, feel satisfied because of that case study score. That means we are ready for the theoritical aspect.

Oh, why we? Because I don't fight alone. We enrolled as a team and my teammate is Tiroy Junita. She is a super smart student and I'm glad having her as my teammate. We also meet our cousin-in-law (literally in law), the brilliant class students, Zuriel Immanuel Natan and Yosua Heresta. They are pretty bright as well but nonetheless we still score better than them :P

On Sunday (that means yesterday) we spent the whole day exploring Batu, the tourism city of Malang with BC students and our guardian teacher, Mr. Dion. First of all we arrived at an agrotourism object. There we picked two apples and two guava and eat an apple friedrice. After that we took a really nice photoshoot and of we went to Cuban Rondo Waterfall. It is amaziiiiinng there. The cliff are soo cool and the air is so cold. We took pictures in front of the waterfall, buy some souvenirs and head back to the hotel.

The next day we searched for more memento.Our friends asked us to buy apple crackers and jackfruit crackers so we went for them. I bought some Malang Apples as well. We also stopped by a crystal store called Crystalline that it's advertisement we saw at the airplane on our way to Malang. We love its handphone cover so we're looking forward to have it. But when we asked about the price, I got hopeless. It is sooo expensive. Almost 1,2 million rupiahs per item. So we skipped it. We stopped for a while at an ancient ice cream shop called Toko OEN. It has been in there since 1930, it means since the Dutch Colonial era. I ordered the one called Calypso Fantasy and it is awesome :9

We have to go back to the airport by 1 p.m. We had an uneventful airport experience, a normal flight and I'm back in Jakarta. I love coming back to Jakarta because Jakarta is such a great place to live in. They have everything in here. Name it and you'll find it here. But coming back to Jakarta means I have to go back to my routine, which I resent. Well, not actually resent but I don't want to learn anything but Biology at the moment. I think one of the reason I still failing is that I'm not focused. I don't give a shit about Cambridge or any other thing going on in my school. I just wanted to win many competitions for my CV in order to get a scholarship. Selfish? Tell me about it. Well, the point is I just hate saying goodbye and go back to my routine. Just like when I come back from OSN. But, every hello has it's own goodbye. So, Goodbye Malang and Hello Routine :)
