Three In One

Hell-o blog-gers. I have just come back from the year two-thou-sand-six-ty-two with a mis-sion to save the e-arth from des-truc-tion and dra-ught. That is why I call my-self Gre-bo from The Green-o-bot Inc. I re-quest your to-tal sup-port de-ar rea-der.

Wassup everyone? Let me tell ya, something strange is going on in our school. There are robots invading our school! Yeah, we've just started robotic lessons and everyone seems so frantic about it. But the truth is, I'm not that interested. Although I was crazy about robots since I was one-metre-tall, the robotic lesson in my school outcasts people who already join olympiad and the lesson is a little bit exaggerated and not practical so I lose interest in participating. But sadly, I HAVE to create one robot with a group of three, to be my final assignment (sigh) We may choose whether to create a tree-planting robot or a lake-cleaning robot. My group (Me, Mega Ananda and Dinda Kusumawardhani) decided to create a tree-planting robot, although we have no idea how to create one. We must post our progress into a blog, which you may read here. It's still empty now. But I hope it won't be empty for long. I hope.

Now for the second news, (that is why I call this post two in one), be prepared now everyone because this is a shocking news. I AM A VEGETARIAN! Yes, starting from 11th March 2011, Lindy Mawardhani Dharmawan is a vegan. I don't eat slaughtered animals like chicken, cows, sheep, et cetera but I still consume fish. I also still consume eggs and diary products. Now the question is: why? I don't know. I just feel this sudden urge to become a vegetarian and I'm ready to take whatever responsibility that I must face as a vegetarian such as saying goodbye to Pizza Hut Meat Lovers and Oriental Chicken Spaghetti. Oh, or Kentucky Fried Chicken, McChicken, Steak! Brockwurst Sausages, Chicken Noodles. Yup. I'm ready to let them go. I just wish that this ideology will be permanent on me. I can do it and I will do it.

And as the last news, I will review this book I have just finished. It's a classic called 'Jane Eyre' by Charlotte Brontee. Well, who doesn't know this book? It's already 164 years old and one of the most famous and well-rated fiction in history. But I say this book is absotively poselutely the best book I've ever read in my life! If I could, I would change all my fingers into a thumb and raise all of them for this book. I love every words, every sentence, every paragraph and every page so much that I felt extremely sad when the book ended. I cried because of the pure and sincere love emitted by Jane and Mr. Rochester at the end of the story. There's only one problem. Because I couldn't found the english version of the printed novel, I ended up buying the Indonesian version and I think I lost so many beauty because it was translated. You couldn't translate art. When you did, it's just not the same. So I tried to download an ebook of the English version, re-read it and I was even more dazzled. I love Chapter 23. My favourite!

Okay that's it guys. Three In One. Just like our traffic rules. See you soon.

Om shanti shanti shanti om

Thank God It’s Finally On Us!

Dear my faithful readers, I'm going to pop a quick question: in several of my posts I mentioned about my olympic life, didn't I? I hope so, because this post is going to be a recent news about my olympic life and Thamrin's (my school name) olympic life. Remember what I said in the previous post about my olympic life that was unnerving and stuff, now (hopefully) all of it will change.

Recently I have won a national biology competition held by Institut Pertanian Bogor (Bogor Agricultural Institute) along with my two team-mates Tiroy Junita and Meva Nareza. Thank God for your blessing, we placed 1st :)

Which is kind of amazing because our rivals are so tough. They are biology masters such as Harun Reza Sugito, Marsha Christanvia, Patricia Jonathan, Lilie Fransiska, Thoriq Salafi. Their team-mates Jeffry Alamsjah, Matthew Billy, Gunawan, Ibrahim Ardisasmita, Parangeni Muhammad are OSN medalists and TOBI's pelatnas members.
However, the main goal is still The Tenth National Biology Olympiad which is going to be held at Menado in 2011. I take this as a stepping stone to create, what my Biology Olympic teacher, Miss Celine, said: A Snowball Effect. Hopefully my snowball will gain size as big as a mountain when it's time to strike NBO with it, hehehehe.

I've also participated in another competition called LCTIP (Lomba Cepat Tepat Ilmu Pangan) with a physic student Indhika Fauzan and a chemistry student Hana Antonio but we didn't place. Another team consist of Bagus Wicaksono, Fiorentina Cemerlang Ririhena and Fauzanil Azmy also made it to semifinals but they didn't place too. We also send out two teams for Medspin UNAIR 2010 at Surabaya: Tiroy Junita, Nurul Aulia, Ubay Noor, and the second team are: Selma Ramadhani, Aisyah Hafizha and Radhian Ferel. Tiroy's team made it to final and placed 10th. Okay that's enough about biology. Wanna hear from other major?

1. Please welcome Ayu Fatmawati, Dhata Karuni Mutia Masyita and Nurwidya Utami Jati who have just gotten back home from World Mathematic Team Competition (WMTC) in Beijing! They didn't place but we are still so very proud of them!

2. From the English major (like we got any), we placed first on 48 Senior High Debate Competition against 81 Senior High. The team members are Inado Grace Simarmata, Michelle Ginting and Vera Ridhani. I am so excited that they got the first prize and beat 81 :D Don't ask me why haha.

3. Chemistry major rocks Health Ministry Chemistry Competition and brought home the first prize. They (Nurul Aulia, Bagus Wicaksono and Prika Maulina Agaristi) made it into semifinals too at IPB but they didn't proceed to final. But that's okay. They've won after all ;)

4. Me, Tiroy Junita, Fiorentina Ririhena, Meva Nareza and Melysa Sitepu flew to Jogjakarta on December 2010 to attend the semifinal round of Indonesian Bio-Science Competetion held by Universitas Gajah Mada (Gajah Mada University). Thank God, I made it to semifinal round two, but I didn't proceed to the final.

Past events that are also amazing to share:
1. We dominated the semifinals of Universitas Negeri Jakarta (Jakarta State University) Math Competition called Pelangi and our math master, Dhata Karuni Mutia Masyita placed 5th!

2. Tiroy Junita attended Asian Science Camp in Mumbai, India along with other gifted children conducted by Surya Institute. She apparently gain a new bff along the journey :P

3. Ayu Fatmawati and Fiorentina Ririhena get a bronze medal for Singapore Mathematic Olympiad of junior category. You know what, they are a 14 years old 11th grader!

4. Samuel Leonardo Putra get a bronze medal at Chemistry National Olympiad at Medan and now he just got back from Pelatnas. Welcome back amigo!

Well that's just about it. To be true, I am really happy because our school has become famous for our good reputation. People start to fear us in the arena and that is an amazing thing because our school have only been there for two years. And we are now doing everything we can to maintain our reputation. But I feel reallly sad because, not that I underestimate them or anything, I think our predecessor must struggle to keep up with our education year, because from what I heard or see, they haven't got what it takes to be a champion. Well, wisest thing to say is to just wait for time to do its thing. I begged you my junior, please please don't fail us. I know you guys are amazing so please please make sure you will hold on to everything that we have gained and push it higher. I have faith that you all can do it :D May our school be the best school in the states!
