I love you dad!

I got this from http://difitrinazula.blogspot.com/2010/07/i-got-this-from-bm.html

Bagi seorang yg sdh dwasa, yg sdg jauh dr orangtua, akn sering mrasa kangen dgn mamanya. bgmn dgn papa?
Mgkin krn mama lbh sering menelepon utk menanyakan keadaan setiap hari. Tp tahukah kmu, jika trnyt papalah yg mengingatkan mama utk meneleponmu?
Saat kecil, mamalah yg lebih sring mendongeng. Tp tahukah kmu bhw sepulang papa bekrja dgn wajah lelah beliau slalu menanyakan apa yg kmu lakukan seharian.
Saat kmu sakit batuk/pilek, papa kadang membentak "sudah dibilang! jgn minum es!". Tp tahukah kamu bhwa papa khawatir?
Ketika kmu remaja, kmu menuntut utk dpt izin keluar malam. Papa dgn tegas berkata "tidak boleh!" Sadarkah kamu bhw papa hny ingin menjagamu? Krn bagi papa, kamu adlh sesuatu yg sangat berharga.
Saat kamu bisa lebih dipercaya, papapun melonggarkan peraturannya. Kamu akan memaksa utk melanggar jam malamnya.
Maka yg dilakukan papa adlh menunggu di ruang tamu dgn sangat khawatir.Ketika kamu dewasa,dan hrs kuliah di kota lain.
Papa harus melepasmu. Tahukah kamu bhw badan papa terasa kaku utk memelukmu? Dan papa sangat ingin menangis.
Di saat kamu memerlukan ini-itu, utk keperluan kuliahmu, papa hanya mengernyitkan dahi. Tp tanpa menolak, beliau memenuhinya.
Saat kamu diwisuda. Papa adlh org pertama y berdiri dan bertepuk tangan untukmu. Papa akan tersenyum dan bangga. Sampai ketika teman pasanganmu datang utk meminta izin mengambilmu dari papa.
Papa akan sangat berhati-hati dlm memberi izin.Dan akhirnya..Saat papa melihatmu duduk di pelaminan bersama seseorang yg dianggapnya pantas, papapun tersenyum bahagia.
Apa kamu tahu,bhw papa sempat pergi ke belakang dan menangis?Papa menangis krn papa sangat bahagia. Dan iapun berdoa "Ya Tuhan, tugasku telah selesai dgn baik.
Bahagiakan. Putra/i kecilku yg manis bersama pasangannya".Stlh itu papa hny bisa menunggu kedatanganmu brsm cucu-cucunya yg sesekali dtg utk menjenguk Dgn rambut yg memutih dan badan yg tak lagi kuat utk menjagamu

I <3> PAPA

I love you dad! Tapi salah itu yang baris pertama! Kangennya nggak cuman sama mama tau, sama papa juga!

Target SET!

Guess what, my dad said he would get me a MacBook if I got 5 A1s in my report book! Isn't that great! DADDY! You really do know how to get your daughter working! :D

The Periodic Tables! (Relax, it's not Chemistry)

I was searching for the Periodic Tables of Elements on google.. And I found these crazy "Periodic Tables". Take a look.

This is the Periodic Table of the Internet.

This is the Periodic Table of Typefaces

I've actually got around 6 more Periodic Tables, but... I'm not really in the mood to post now. So... I guess I 'll see you later. Bye!

I slifed my Lice.

Okay, first of all, let me get things straight.

Nummer een: I do NOT have lice.

Nummer twee: What I mean was 'I sliced my life'. Well, not literally.

Every Friday there's this thing called 'Slice of Life', and some of the students will get picked to share their experiences (related to the school values; PRIDE) with the whole school. So basically, I was chosen for this week. Oh, and Aldwin was chosen too.

My day didn't start really well. I woke up 5 minutes earlier than usual (does this really make a change?), because I was supposed to arrive at school at 7.05 today, to practice for the SoL. I went to school 10 minutes earlier than today, hoping that I would arrive at the bus interchange earlier. Now, here comes the bad news. The bus never came. No, not never, but I mean, because I arrived at the bus stop earlier, I was expecting that another bus would come earlier, but it turned out than it didn't! The same old bus that I always took even arrived late. Grrrhhh. Usually, if I take that bus, I'll be just in time to catch the early bus to school (just in time means running; if I take this bus I'll arrive at school at 7.00am). But now, the bus is late. So that means that I won't arrive at school on time. Oh no. Without any further thinking, I went in the MRT station. I just hoped that the MRT would be faster than the next bus.

When I arrived at Serangoon, I looked at my watch. Oops. It's already 6.45! Arghh, I don't think I'll be able to get there in time! So I went to the passenger office, and I asked 'Are there any taxis out there?' They said, 'Oh yeah, just out there.' So I rushed and went out. I found the taxi pick up point, but all the taxis were just parked out there, and the taxi drivers where nowhere to be seen. Urghh.

At this point of time, I became really pissed off (yeah, I know, it's not that stressful), and I guess if you saw me at that time, you would've thought that I was sort of crazy or something. I was like, walking here and there, and running, and sweating, and.. I bet I looked pretty confused. There was 1 taxi, and that taxi just drove past me without stopping or even looking at me. What the?! I hate you taxi driver! And then, there was this taxi, I was going to run towards the taxi, but another person took that taxi! AAAH! At last, at around 7.00, I finally found a taxi. And... I arrived at school at 7.15. I'm late. And I paid SGD11 for that. LATE + SGD11. My morning had just been ruined.

But, from that point onwards... My day became slightly better. I read my speech, and... Some of my friends and my teachers said my speech was nice. So.. I guess it wasn't bad after all.

That's all I'd like to share with you for today... I hope you enjoyed my post :D

_________________________________________

Good morning Mrs Lim, Ms Thien, Mr Ng, teachers and fellow schoolmates. My name is Indira Pranabudi, and I'm from 3E2. Today, I would like to share with you a poem that has inspired me and kept my spirits up whenever I am down. The title of the poem is "Don't Quit". First of all, let me read to you a few lines from the poem.

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,

When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,

When the funds are low and the debts are high,

And you want to smile but you have to sigh,

When care is pressing you down a bit,

Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.

This poem teaches me about how I must keep going on with my life, no matter what happens. Just like the saying, "the show must go on". Whenever I am down and I feel like quitting, I will always think about this poem. Right after that I'll say to myself, "Don't quit! It's not that hard! Keep trying! Don't give up!" and right after that I am getting up again.

The same thing goes to school. Whenever I feel that I'm not smart, or whenever I feel that I can't do something, I will always remember this poem. And then, I will say to myself, "If you want success, never give up. Success will only be achieved if we never quit!" Thanks to this poem, I have made it all this way, and hopefully I will be able to achieve my dreams.

Thank you for listening, I hope my sharing will be able to inspire you, and keep the passion for learning of Pei Hwaians burning!

Please comment :) I will always try to learn from my mistakes.

Love Gives Me Hope and Gives Me Hope

Today, my older sister quit competitive swimming, her passion for over 10 years.

She's so good, she's had coaches tell her she could make it to the Summer Olympics when she turns 15, in a year.

She told my parents she wanted to quit because she was tired of it. She told me she quit so she could save our struggling family money.

When I was 14 my abusive boyfriend got me pregnant.

When he found out he left me and told me never to contact him again. My best friend said he would always be there for me, no matter what.

He is now my 9 year old son's stepfather and hero.

My husband's love that can withstand even high school GMH

A man and his two daughters were on a boat.

A larger boat was coming right at them, and was going to run right into them.

The man jumped over and pushed his daughters out of the way, saving their lives - and losing his legs.

I see him working out at the gym every day with his prosthetics. He GMH.

__________________________________________________________________

When my daughter was 15, her boyfriend turned 18.

He was forced to break up with her by his parents because he was considered an adult.

Three years he waited, and on her 18th birthday he proposed to her.

Love shown by teenagers that never dies, GMH.

A few years ago my grandfather was admitted into the ICU unit in the hospital.

I went to go visit him, but could only watch him through a glass box. I stood there crying, while he lay there with his eyes closed, barely alive.

The nurse told him I was there. He opened his eyes, smiled ear to ear, and waved to me.

That night he passed away. YLGMH.

Ten years ago, my mother forbid my sister to see her boyfriend due to his past problems with drug addiction.

She continued to see him even though it meant being grounded and having her car taken.

Today, they are celebrating 10 years of his sobriety - and their wedding.

Mike and Emma, your LGMH.

Today, I was visiting my best friend. He's two years younger than I am.

We were talking about the perfect boy/girl.

When he started to describe his perfect girlfriend, he said "She'll have long black hair and chocolate brown eyes. Here's a picture of her!"

He handed me a small mirror. His LGMH.

__________________________________________________________________

A week ago, I married my girlfriend of 8 years.

On our wedding night, she gave me a huge box full of over 2,800 letters she wrote to me -- one for every single day since our first date.

We broke up in 2004 and didn't get back together until 2008.

Her love even when I rejected her GMH.

__________________________________________________________________

Today, my best friend posted a hateful message on my formspring.

It was all about how much better she would be with my boyfriend. Her name was not included, but there were events referenced that made it apparent that it was her.

My boyfriend saw it and sent me a 6-text-long message about all of the reasons he loves me.

Boys who care GMH.

Today my sister saw an elderly woman from our church sitting alone at a diner.

She left our table to keep her company. The woman was so pleased, she had the biggest smile on her face.

My sister's kind heart and compassion GMH.

___________________________________________________________________

When I was in 2nd grade, my mom would give me rides to school every day.

One day she came across an elderly man who'd walk an entire 1 mile into town to get to his house. He did this every day, during the middle of the frozen winter.

Every day, for months, she'd go out of her way to give him a ride to his house.

She GMH.

School was getting rough because I had no computer to write my essays on.

That summer my English teacher gave me a brand new laptop that her and her husband bought for me.

She said, "I heard you saying you needed this. The password is college, because that's where I hope you're going."

She GMH.

All of those things GMH.

Sony Next Step Computer Concept for 2020

This is ridiculously awesome. Check it out.This is ridiculously awesome. Check it out.

In 2020 we can wear computers on our wrist

Our present need for internet connectivity is so profound that secondary devices like the Nextep Computer are bound to happen. Developed to be worn as a bracelet, this computer concept is constructed out of a flexible OLED touchscreen. Earmarked for the year 2020, features like a holographic projector (for screen), pull-out extra keyboard panels and social networking compatibility, make the concept plausible. Ten years from now is not too far away, so how many of you think we’d be buying such gadgets?

My target for Sec3

In life, targets may play a very big role. They always bring us up when we're down. So I decided to set a target for this year. And since my parents (and I) have high hopes of me.. I'm gonna set a pretty high target this year (considering that I've just joined the school for 1 month; which means I need to catch up on most of the subjects).

Additional Mathematics: A1

Elementary Mathematics: A1

I've only decided on those two subjects. I'm not quite sure about the others.. English.. Hmm I'm not really strong in that. Malay? I still need to get used to the language. Physics? Hmm I was quite good in my last school, but it's kinda harder here. Chemistry? I barely know anything. I did learn Chemistry in my previous school, but that was just little. But actually, I'm quite motivated in this subject, thanks to Mrs Lim. She keeps saying that I have talent in this subject, and she even put me in the advanced acer group. I think she kinda trusts me. Well then, I'd better not let her down.

For SS? It's hard. There's this SBQ thingy, and there's also the SEQ thingy, blablabla. I didn't have SS in my previous school. And I think it's hard. Geography? Hmm dunno.

So.. you see.. Things aren't easy for me. The situation is not something you would want to be in. Trust me, it's not fun. I have to live away from my family.. But on the other hand.. This new life does teach me something. It gives me experience. And anyway, how are you supposed to to grow if you never go out of your comfort zone? I am both grateful and sad that I get this opportunity to live in Singapore. But I'll always try to do my best, where ever I am. Not just for the sake of my self, but I also want to make my parents happy. Every parent would love to see their child be successful right?

So... All I'd like to say is... Thanks God, for all the things you've given to me. I hope I will continue to learn from my mistakes and do better in the future. Aamiin...

The Brontosaurus... NEVER EXISTED

I was just tweeting, when OMGfacts tweeted about the non-existed Brontosaurus. Check this out.

When asked to name some dinosaur names, a few names come to mind: T-Rex, Stegosaurus, Brontosaurus. Unfortunately, there's no such thing as a Brontosaurus.

The first "Brontosaurus" skeleton was discovered by paleontologist O.C. Marsh in 1879. Since the skeleton he found didn't have a head, he used a skull that was found miles away to complete the skeleton. He named the hybrid-dino-skeleton "Brontosaurus" (Thunder Lizard).

It turns out that the skeleton that Marsh found was actually the skeleton of an Apatosaurus, a species that Marsh had already discovered and named two years earlier. Since the dinosaur in question already had a name, there was no longer any dinosaur named Brontosaurus.

The supposed head of the Brontosaurus was later discovered to be from a different dinosaur known as the Camarasaurus. This means that not only is there no such thing as a Brontosaurus, but also there is no dinosaur that looks like what the Brontosaurus looks like. It was literally the head of one dinosaur on the body of another dinosaur.

I was very astonished. I mean, Brontosaurus is a very, very, very popular Dinosaur. Wow.

For all the smokers out there... "What happens to your body when you stop smoking right now?"

For all the smokers out there.. I hope you'll stop smoking after reading this.

I think one of the main reasons it’s so hard to quit smoking is because all the benefits of quitting and all the dangers of continuing seem very far away. Well, here’s a little timeline about some of the more immediate effects of quitting smoking and how that will affect your body RIGHT NOW.

* In 20 minutes your blood pressure will drop back down to normal.
* In 8 hours the carbon monoxide (a toxic gas) levels in your blood stream will drop by half, and oxygen levels will return to normal.
* In 48 hours your chance of having a heart attack will have decreased. All nicotine will have left your body. Your sense of taste and smell will return to a normal level.
* In 72 hours your bronchial tubes will relax, and your energy levels will increase.
* In 2 weeks your circulation will increase, and it will continue to improve for the next 10 weeks.
* In three to nine months coughs, wheezing and breathing problems will dissipate as your lung capacity improves by 10%.
* In 1 year your risk of having a heart attack will have dropped by half.
* In 5 years your risk of having a stroke returns to that of a non-smoker.
* In 10 years your risk of lung cancer will have returned to that of a non-smoker.
* In 15 years your risk of heart attack will have returned to that of a non-smoker.

So, you have more immediate things to look forward to if you quit now besides just freaking out about not being able to smoke. Quit now!

So there it is. STOP SMOKING, RIGHT NOW!

So here I am.. In Singapore.. Living a whole new life.

Hey all! I haven't been posting for a very long time, and now that I'm here.. I think I'm gonna write a bit about my holiday.

Well.. I didn't really have much fun, I had to go to school (because I have 2 schools), and I also had tuitions. Not much of a holiday huh? Yeah I know -_-"

FAREWELL TRIP TO SUKABUMI

As it was our last year together.. We decided to go to Sukabumi together, one night one day. It was totally fun! Some of the parents came, and we also invited some of the teachers. Oh yeah, wait. One of our members were missing.. Diandra didn't come to the farewell party :( she couldn't come because on that day, she was going to have her school application test.. So, there were a total of 19 students there, but it was still fun. Geez, I really miss Darwin :'( I miss all the fun we had together :'(

THIRD REICH GRADUATION DAY

Graduation day! THIRD REICH GRADUATED 100%! Yeaay! Cheers for THIRD REICH! Go THIRD REICH!

TAMAN SAFARI INDONESIA INDAH

Besides that.. I also went to Taman Safari Indonesia Indah, with my famiy, my grandparents, and my grandma's sister.

There was a very interesting incident in Taman Safari.. I was going to take a photo with a baby leopard (on my own), but then, when I moved my hand (I was going to stroke him), he opened his mouth and tried to bite me! WOW! It nearly did. I was so grateful that he didn't. In the end, I did take a photo with the leopard, but with my dad..

PULAU SERIBU WITH SOEKOTJO FAMILY

On 19th June, we went to Pulau Tidung with my extended family. We were supposed to do a lot of snorkeling there.. But we didn't get a nice place for that, and the weather wasn't really good. So I guess.. We were just unlucky that time.

(This picture was at Muara Angke, the starting point)

Hmm... I guess those are the only major things I did... The rest was all about computer, school, and tuitions. Geez, what a boring holiday -_-" But nevermind, those tuitions will pay off in my studies!

So.. Here I am. I'm in Singapore now. It's been a week. My mom and dad already went home. I won't see my mother until 3 more weeks. Wow, that's quite a long time. :(
