Salon, lunch, and then movies. It was at first a sisterly date, but then the boys of PU came along. However, I still had a great day! \(^ ^)/
great day!
Paman Gembul's Lunch!

trip to fX
Today, Parda, Ninda, Ghea and me had a trip to fX Sudirman, hoping to join the "food fest" but sadly, it wasn't as expected. There were very few food stalls, and there was barely anybody there. So we just looked around Mazee, and decided to have lunch at one of the restaurants at fX. After going up and down, circling the whole mall, we finally decided to eat at Cosi. The food there was great! The portion was enough for one person. And the price was so-so, not to expensive. But what I love the most was the outdoor tables and seats. It was breezy and it had a lil bit of the Bali feeling there~~~~
We spent around 1,5 hours there, eating, fooling around, til we embarrass ourselves. And then we decided to go on the very extreme slide called Atmostfear! It is a slide that goes down from the 7th floor to the 3rd floor at less 10 seconds! HWAAA! At first, it was only Ghea and me who were going to do it. But we managed to force Parda and Ninda to join too. And they were... TERRIFIED! Ninda's face literally became pale when we are at the 7th floor, and Parda was whining all the way to the 7th floor, while me and Ghea were just holding our laugh. But we all managed to do it, even though with super-loud screams and a little bit of tears coming out of Ninda's eyes. LOL. But today was EPIC! :)

Central Park Community!
Yesterday was Ka Barnie's birthday. So first of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY KA BARNIE!! Wish you all the best that God has planned for you, all the success in your workplace, and get married soon! Teehee. So yeah, meet my KM friends! KM stands for Komsel Mesianik. It's our church's community group where we usually meet every week and share about our daily life and how God is working in our life. The leader of our KM is Ka Maya. She's a singer with a very very awesome voice (and I ain't kidding). If you want prove, click here. Hehehe. Anyways, the members are Inka, Elina, Ka Barnie, Ka Hizki, Ka Steph, and me. Usually we meet at Central Park, but like today, since it's Ka Barnie's birthday, we meet at his place, and ate together at Pizza Hut! Yumm eh? In this community we encourage each other, we help others, share life experiences, and grow together in God. And I'm definitely thankful that I'm placed in this community here in Jakarta. As you all know, Jakarta is a very very tough place to live in Indonesia. The crime rate is high, the lifestyle is very very scary, and I think that people can be easily be affected by bad habits (personal thought, by the way). But since I'm here, I remember my purpose of being in Jakarta, and the purpose of living. Thank You Jesus! ![]() |

holiday and the AEO~!
soooo. What did I do during my one-week-semester-break holiday? I became an LO for the Asian English Olympics hosted by Bina Nusantara English Club. It was such a great experience. Got to meet lots of people from different cities, with different personalities. Some are nice, some are very demanding. Some are very friendly, some very very bossy. But hey, it was all worth the lesson. Also got closer to the other members of the BSSC LO, which are Tasya, Ditha, Melcy, Ka Raesa, Ka Susanti, Brian, BK, Franz, Ko Cancan, and Ko Hanz. Also got the chance to spend some really fun times with everybody involved in this event, from the committees, LOs, and participants. It was definitely super fun!

we bid goodbye to semester 1!
day full of joy!
Today might be one of the most amazing day in my life! It's the first Sunday in February and I went to quite some exciting things, especially today. First, I went to the church with my sister to help myself build my characters in Godly ways. And then....
A discussion with Monique Coleman (High School Musical Star), Adeline (Sahabat Alam), Iman Usman (Indonesian Future Leaders), and Hendriyadi (Indonesian Youth for Education) about volunteerism at @america. The discuss wasn't very hard to understand, yet it still teaches us, the youths, on how to actually become productive in our life. The panelists actually pointed out some things that were very simple, but then became the basic of volunteer act. And as I would put it, volunteering doesn't have to big. Even when we help the people around (without asking anything in return), it is volunteering. And there are so much benefits that we, personally, can get through volunteerism. I find it very beneficial to join this kind of events, cause it helps stay grounded, and let me think back of what have I done so far. And I think it's really lucky for me to meet Monique Coleman. She's very smart. I like her enthusiasm in empowering the youths, not only in the states but also all over the world. Anyways, here are some pics.

To be honest (and kinda embarrassed), this is actually the first concert that Inka and I are attending, and we feel very fortunate that the first concert we attended ever since we moved to Jakarta is a charity concert. And trust me, the concert was very entertaining. Each of the performers promoted their songs but also they asked us and advised to donate! This is very much needed in Indonesia. So, please, if you have the chance, do check their website.
Anyways, I had the chance to take pictures with some artist too.

what's up!
So, what's up peoples? I am finally back, after a few days not exactly writing a proper post. And so here I am to share some of the things I did and will do.
Well last saturday I had my very first practical exam. The exam was on Java Programming and if you're not really familiar with it, lemme tell you what it is. Java Programming is the coding (it's how we, or they, call it) in order to make programs (duuuh). But the one that I'm making right now is the very basic programming where we still run it on Command Prompt. You can do the coding with different tools, such as TextPad, Eclipse, NetBeans, etc. The one we're using is TextPad. Sooo, during the exam we have to make a program. My class specifically has to make this program for a fruit shop cashier, including a sign-in page in which the username is case sensitive. Also the password must be created from the name of the cashier added with the number of alphabets. And then inside there are 3 menu bla bla bla bla bla. Anywaaays, to make story short, I didn't finish the whole program coding. But then I created a 7MB file. Hopefully it's good. And hopefully I can optimize my grade on the theory exam, which is STARTING THIS FRIDAY! Hoo yeah!
Well enough about that, now I wanna share a lil bit about my trip to the the Russian Culture Center. I went there as a part of LnC's Hang-Out-Together, but this time plus Emil and Ka Susanti. My first impression was, the place looks like a private house. Indeed. Nevertheless, the maximized that private house and exhibit some Russian novels and magazines. Also some figurines wearing their traditional which I find very very cute. In the back of the building there's also an auditorium where they usually use it to watch movies together. Overall, my final impression of the Russian Culture Center was that, it felt Russian. LOL.
