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.
