Long time no Post !

Ah hi everyone !

So long time I don't write here. I was passive to write in English, except for chatting and communicating with friends.

I've passed many things. I've passed the national exam. Alhamdulillah (thank God) ! After I had strived for the exam, I made it ! During that striving, I had studied together with my friends many times. Finally, it's not useless !

I learn German till now. I have a plan to study in Germany, but not this year because I'm already accepted in "Universitas Indonesia". It's in Depok, near Jakarta (the capital city of Indonesia).My major will be psychology. Alhamdulillah ^^ I'm not ready if I study abroad directly. Not ready mentally especially. I can't imagine. I've been living with my family nearly for 18 years. I think I should do it step by step. I'll live far from my family but still in one country. Then, I can go abroad !
I don't know when I'll go to Germany. If I'm ready enough after one year in the university, I'll go. many people say that it's better if I finish my study here first, then I can study abroad for the Master program. I'll consider that, but If I have my decision, I don't care of other's people saying.

Now, I'm in a long holiday. Some of my friends strive to get university. Me, I work in a brownies shop and still learn German. It's a busy holiday. In the morning, I usually work. At afternoon, I usually go to the German course. Sometimes I'm absent from my work. I do something else, like going out with friends and preparing myself for living 'alone' in uni's dormitory. I think it's better to be busy in useful things than being bored because I have nothing to do !

Holidayyy, I'm coming !

Alhamdulillah ! I feel relieved. I've finished my exams. After it finish, our class had to do some remedial exams. As I guess, All students in my class got bad score in Chemistry ^^ We must do the chemistry one. We got an assignment for that : doing the last semester exam, but only the essay part. Some students must take the other remedial exams like Indonesian language and physic. No wonder, those are hard subjects ! Even the Indonesian language. I think it's harder than English because it's very subjective when we face a type of questions with passage before it.

Indonesian, science, and all those tiring subjects should be forgotten ! I know, this is holiday (though it's not officially holiday), at least, we don't do school things related to our marks ! It's time for refreshing... Nowadays, I often stay at home, use the internet, chat with my foreign friends, discuss something till I really get sleepy. I ever sleep at 2 am ! Not just chatting, but also looking for further information with my future ! It's about my plan to study in Holland. I often read about the faculties where I want to study, sometimes contact the admission section, etc. Even I've tried to take the international TOEFL test immediately, but it has been pending because of some reasons.

I hope, my holiday won't be boring for me because I often stay at home. I'm going to go to Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia. It'll be for a week. Then, probably we'll go to school again at 13th July ! Ohhh, it's a short holiday if it's compared with holiday with my foreign friend in Europe, more than 2 weeks of course.

Polotical Election !

At 9th of April as an Indonesian citizen, I take my right to choose the prospective legislative people both in province and national. This is my first time I participate in a politic election ! Well, I've been 17 years old since 5 April 2009 :) That's why I say it's the first time I choose, it's my new experience too !

Honestly, I have no idea which one is my choice. I don't know who is proper to be our leader. I don't know the quality of the parties !

The D-day, my mother, father, little brother went to the place of choosing (we call it TPS standing for "Tempat Pemungutan Suara"). About my little brother, he wouldn't participate. He had a homework to draw a sketch of TPS, my mother helped him to do it. First thing that we should do in the process of choosing, we register our self with the commitee by showing the invitation paper that we've got a few days before. Then, we waited for our turn.

We were very lucky ! as I remember we got there at about 9.30 am. There weren't many people yet at that time. We didn't wait so long then. I was called. I received 4 pieces of paper. I walked to a chamber where the participants choose their own choice by giving a checkmark on the "chosen area". I did it. Hummm, I can say that I chose without basis, my own thinking about which is the best to be our nation leader. Finally, I chose a party.

After I finished to give 4 checkmarks on 4 pieces of paper, I fold them up and put them into a box. There were 4 box represented each categories : national, provinve, regency/city, and regional representatives and each category were in 1 paper. Finally, after I done those things, I dip my little finger into a cup of ink. It signs that I've chose, I can't chose again. haha, I saw my aunt's finger were dipped till the nail. lol

That's all ! My first experience in a political election :)

My Future, study in Netherland !

hallo iedereen ! Ohh, what's the matter with me, speaking Dutch ?

One of my dreams for now, is studying abroad ! Especially, to Netherlands. My great vision to go there is to get use to with the western culture. ohh great ! I can't imagine I have a good friend, speaking to everyone with foreign language, gather with people with their own backgrounds. That's terrific ! More terrific, if I can have a Schengenen visa, and go to EU countries ! France, Belgium, Italy... kyaaaa ! (I hope it's not just a dream)

My plan is not just a plan. I've been preparing for that. Soon, insha Allah, I'm going to have a TOEFL preparation. You know, the minimum TOEFL score to enter a university in Netherland is 550. That's so high ! Not just that, many other requirements must be submitted too. Now, I'm in the process of searching for a university in Netherland. Masha Allah, many programmes scholarship that provided for the bachelor's degree. Yes, many available scholarship, I would feel difficult because of the requirements. There are more programmes that taught in dutch. ohh, I should learn dutch too, after I get my best TOEFL score, reaching 550.

Not only preparing my study there, but also preparing to live as an independent person in a foreign country. I should start from now, as long as I still live with my family, this is a good chance to learn to live !

So, I hope my spirit to study there won't be lost, so my efforts to prepare would be harder and harder.

I Got Good Marks !

I had to get my report by my self. My parents were in West Java. A few days before, my mother called Mr. Ganang, my teacher and told him that they can't take my report so He permitted me to get my report by my self.
On 27 December, the D-day...
I went to school with my motorbike. I didn't have any feelings about how would my marks be. Ohh, the road was crowded than usual when I go to school. In deed ! It was about 9 am, I went to school earlier than 7 am ! More crowded in SMA Muhi, my school. There were many motorbike in the yard. Many people, especially parents or someone who would take student's report.
I was getting into my class when my teacher came. Almost of in the class are parents. I was the one as a student, but later then, a few of my friends came. My teacher gave to us according to student's absent number.
Finally, I took my report. I got good marks in my report. I am lucky ! I didn't think it before. I was pessimist because I didn't study well, beside, the minimum marks has been increasing to be 75 for science subjects. Wow, In fact, I got more than it. Not all of my marks are above the minimum marks, one subject : history. I don't really like it.
I just have to be better in the next semester !

Happy Eid !

For my brothers & sisters : happy eid al-adha !

As usual,,, in the eid, we prayed together in the morning. My family and I prayed in 'Culinary Park', the nearest place for us. After one hour, there slaughtering began !
Hmm, I didn't see it because I must help my friends prepare some foods to the slaughters, people who sliced, & cooked the cow & sheeps flesh. It took so long, but it was fun for me because I could gather with my neighborhood, especially with the teenagers. It's a rare moment for me because I don't often meet them everyday.

I hope you have a great eid too,
eid mubarak !

I hate the racist !

I really hate the discrimination among religion. Many racism that can be found in this world. In France, the laïcite appears and applicated in schools, or government instance. It makes the banning of religious views. We can’t wear a Christ sign, jewish hat, or hijab. What the harmful things for muslimah is the hijab banning. I wonder why,,, they have rules such as those things. Not just in school, photo passport with hijab will be rejected. I’ve read those rules in the internet. Actually, wearing hijab in public place is safe and allowed. Beside France, the country that similar (have a “racist” rules) is USA. I read it from internet. I browsed in Google with keyword : photo + passport + requirement + (the country).

I feel glad because I found some country that still tolerate a passport with hijab : Canada, Switzerland, Belgium, & Netherland. It’s surprising.. Switzerland and France are neighborhood, but the rules are totally different. That makes me think and motivated, I prefer those countries in tolerance.

I have a great intension to study & live abroad, especially to Eroupe, more especially to France. I want to get many experiences during my living. I like to live in a country that has high tolerance and near my brothers and sisters. How about in France ? it’s hard to live there as good muslims. Should I sacrifice my faith for that ? I have many considerations. I won’t go there only for sightseeing, I really know that France is a beautiful country. I don’t want my trip will be wasteful, not useful for me. I’ll feel disappointed if I scarified what I shouldn’t show but then,,, when I get in to the country,,, I don’t get anything special or just temporary amusement. If I study there, I have an intention to study,,, that won’t be useless. If that’s the best way that granted for me, I’ll better do it.

I don’t know the future, I hope, I’ll be granted the best and I won’t feel what I’ve done are useless, like going abroad. It need a great sacrifice in anything: minds, power, carefulness, and even faith if it’s really really forced (I hope I won’t sacrifice my faith). So, what will I do in the future, it depends to my faith in my future to.
